Hong Leong Finance Ownership Breakdown: Private Groups Hold Majority (SGX:S41)

December 9, 2025, 8:11 PM EST. Hong Leong Finance Limited (SGX:S41) shows a clear split in ownership: private companies own the bulk of the stock (around 59%), with Hong Leong Investment Holdings Pte.

Smartest TSX Stocks to Buy With $500 Right Now: MDA Space, Bird Construction, and goeasy

December 9, 2025, 8:01 PM EST. Even with just $500, you can start building long-term wealth by targeting fundamentally strong TSX stocks. The piece highlights a disciplined approach: small but steady contributions can compound with high-growth opportunities. MDA Space has dipped after a satellite-order cancellation but is positioned to benefit from rising demand for space tech, including next-gen satellites, robotics, and geointelligence. Growth drivers include broadband/5G connectivity, earth-observation, and NATO-space priorities; a solid backlog and healthy balance sheet support potential acquisitions. Bird Construction offers resilience through a collaborative contracting model, exposure to essential infrastructure sectors like energy and transportation, and an expanding backlog that supports earnings. goeasy is listed as another strong TSX pick for a consumer-finance growth angle. The key is focusing on quality franchises with clear growth trajectories.

Insider Ownership Holds Steady at 68% for Mader Group (ASX:MAD) Amid Sell-Off

December 9, 2025, 8:00 PM EST. Insider ownership remains a cornerstone of Mader Group Limited (ASX:MAD): insiders hold about 68% of the stock, with founder Luke Mader owning 51% and the CEO, Justin Nuich, holding 0.6%. Despite some recent insider selling, the concentration means the group benefits most from a rising share price and bears the brunt of a decline. The stock fell about 6.8% last week, denting insiders' paper value. While institutions exist on the registry, the balance still skews toward insiders, underscoring strong alignment with long-term shareholders. Investors should watch for further moves by the top holders and any shifts in the share registry that could influence liquidity and control.

Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) Valuation Revisited After an 8% Monthly Rally

December 9, 2025, 7:58 PM EST. Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) has rekindled momentum, up ~8% in the last month, even as its year-to-date and 1-year total returns sit in negative territory. At $50.65, the stock trades below a narrative fair value of $53, suggesting modest upside if earnings growth persists despite revenue softness. Analysts model roughly a 4.7% annual revenue decline over the next three years, while profit margins may expand, keeping the stock attractive on an intrinsic basis. However, patent cliffs on Eliquis and Opdivo and tougher U.S. pricing reforms could derail margin expansion and challenge the undervaluation thesis. The analysis invites readers to compare with other pharma names offering solid dividends and to stress-test assumptions using the available tools.

Is Rolls-Royce Still Undervalued After Its 89% YTD Surge?

December 9, 2025, 7:57 PM EST. Rolls-Royce Holdings (LSE: RR.) has extended its rally, up almost 90% year-to-date as investors weigh sustainability. The analysis flags a cleaner balance sheet, stronger long-term growth prospects, and record aftermarket order intake in Defence as drivers, with civil aviation demand boosting margins. At current levels the shares hover near a fair value close to £12, implying only modest upside unless the upturn accelerates. Risks include a potential normalization of demand, renewed cost pressures, or softer earnings than priced in. The stock trades below aerospace peers on earnings, suggesting a possible margin of safety, but not a guarantee of continued gains.

Get Smart: Why the Stock Market Could Still Rise in 2026

December 9, 2025, 7:46 PM EST. Markets don't care about the calendar. The author argues that fear of missing the next move distracts from what drives gains: real business value. While talk of an AI bubble swirls, the true driver remains steady execution, stronger balance sheets, and reinvestment in growth. Look at OCBC (SGX: O39), which expanded its capital return despite profits normalizing. iFAST (SGX: AIY) hit a record S$30 billion in assets under administration as more investors choose online platforms. In the US, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) posted rising revenue and operating income, underpinned by cloud and AI. The takeaway: long-term gains come from companies delivering value, not from waiting for a perfect moment.

Wednesday's big stock stories: What's likely to move the market in the next trading session

The S&P 500 edged lower, the Dow fell about 180 points, while the Nasdaq posted a modest December gain; the Russell 2000 closed at a record.

Nvidia faces China limits on AI chips, weighing sentiment and lifting related ETFs modestly negative. JPMorgan warned of a fragile consumer and issued higher 2026 expense projections, pressuring the stock; other big banks finding support near multi-year highs.

JD.com Near $29.70: Undervalued After a 59% Five-Year Slide, Says DCF

December 9, 2025, 7:43 PM EST. JD.com trades around $29.70 and sits at the crossroads of bargain versus value trap. It's down about 58.9% over five years and 22.8% in the last year, yet the latest moves look more muted as investors weigh growth potential and risk. Sentiment has been shaped by competition in Chinese e-commerce, evolving tech regulations, and JD.com's shift toward logistics and services. Macro headwinds for China add a layer of uncertainty. On valuation, JD.com registers a strong undervaluation signal: a DCF-driven intrinsic value near $54.83 per share, translating to about a 45.8% discount to the current price around $29.70. The model notes a negative TTM Free Cash Flow of CN¥0.23 billion, with forecasts for a rebound to CN¥49.90 billion by 2028. Verdict: UNDERVALUED on cash flows, albeit with regulatory and demand risks to watch.

Rogers Communications (TSX: RCI.B) Undervalued After Pullback? An In-Depth Look

December 9, 2025, 7:42 PM EST. Rogers Communications (TSX: RCI.B) pulled back over the last week while its year-to-date gains remain solid, sparking questions about valuation. The stock delivered a 7-day return of -6.3% against a YTD ~15.8% gain, suggesting momentum is cooling but intact. At a fair value near CA$59.00 and a last close around CA$50.69, the gap hints at mispriced earnings power and resilient cash flow. Growth drivers include 5G rollout, Wi-Fi 7 expansion, and bundled services that could support subscriber growth and higher margins. Risks center on regulatory uncertainty and a maturing wireless market. The analysis flags Rogers as potentially undervalued despite the pullback, with several scenarios to watch.

Is Thermo Fisher Still Attractively Priced After the 2025 Dip?

December 9, 2025, 7:41 PM EST. Thermo Fisher Scientific has clawed back gains-up 7.8% YTD and 5.5% over 12 months, with a recent 3% pullback. The stock sits in a context of steady deal making in life sciences tools and diagnostics and ongoing bioproduction expansion, underscoring its role as a picks-and-shovels supplier to pharma and biotech. The market views it as a structural growth play rather than a quick trade, with a 3/6 valuation check and some metrics suggesting value but not all. A DCF suggests an intrinsic value around $606.56 per share, implying the current price is near, or slightly below, fair value (about a 7% discount). Free cash flow stands at roughly $6.1B, projected to rise to $11.3B by 2029 and over $15B by 2035, supporting a material long-term case.

Genasys (GNSS) Q4 Loss In Line with Estimates but Revenue Missed

December 9, 2025, 7:28 PM EST. Genasys (GNSS) reported a Q4 loss of $0.03 per share, in line with the Zacks consensus and an improvement from $0.26 a year ago. The quarter's results were adjusted for non-recurring items. Revenue came in at $17.03 million, missing the consensus by about 14%, versus $6.74 million a year earlier. Over the last four quarters, the company has topped EPS estimates only once. The stock has fallen roughly 9.2% year-to-date while the S&P 500 has climbed. Ahead of the print, the Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) suggests in-line near-term performance.

Penumbra (PEN) Valuation: Modest Upside Ahead of STORM PE Trial Amid Momentum

December 9, 2025, 7:27 PM EST. Penumbra (PEN) has climbed about 23% YTD and roughly 11% over the past month, signaling healthy momentum. The stock trades just below the narrative-driven fair value of around $306.79, vs a recent close near $294.83, implying modest upside. Prospects hinge on the upcoming STORM PE trial, which could provide Level 1 evidence for Penumbra's thrombectomy in pulmonary embolism and unlock higher volumes if guideline adoption expands. A higher long-run revenue path depends on market penetration and margin expansion, but the valuation remains rich relative to peers (trading near 70x earnings vs ~43x peer median and a ~29.6x fair multiple). Risks include STORM PE results and potential device commoditization. Investors should read the full narrative for the growth and earnings framework.

US Stock Market After Hours: Cautious Trade Ahead of Fed Rate Cut as Tech Drifts

December 9, 2025, 7:26 PM EST. After-hours trading as of 5 p.m. ET shows a cautious, orderly session with futures barely budging after a mixed regular session. The S&P 500 sits just shy of record territory, while the Nasdaq 100 and Dow drift fractionally lower in extended trades.

The market is positioned for a likely 25 basis points cut to the federal funds rate in the Dec meeting, with traders eyeing the dot plot for guidance on future cuts. While the odds of a cut are high, debate within the Fed about inflation and growth keeps expectations nuanced. A hawkish tone could pressure richly valued AI/growth stocks; a dovish message might fuel a late-year rally.

December 9, 2025, 7:25 PM EST. CoreWeave's post-IPO journey has featured dramatic stock swings, with shares well above the $40 IPO price but trading 52% below the post-IPO high. CEO Michael Intrator calls the IPO 'incredibly successful' despite headwinds, including Liberation Day tariffs coinciding with the listing and a challenging market for new cloud models. The company has pursued a debt-heavy strategy to stand up AI-focused data centers, boasting a backlog that climbed to about $55.6 billion and marquee clients like Meta, OpenAI, and Poolside. Intrator argues CoreWeave is disrupting legacy cloud incumbents-AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud-with a proprietary software stack that orchestrates GPUs for AI workloads. Critics cite insider stock sales and overreliance on Nvidia; Intrator says they're redefining the cloud business.

Q3 earnings remain strong, with about 83% of S&P 500 companies beating estimates and earnings up roughly 14.6% year over year. International markets were mixed: Europe lower, Japan higher.

Markets price roughly a 90% chance of a third consecutive quarter-point rate cut, per the CME FedWatch tool, though FOMC members remain divided on the pace of easing. The post-meeting statement at 2 p.m. ET and Powell's press conference will offer clues on the rate trajectory.

T-Mobile Shares at $204: DCF Signals ~61% Undervalued Amid 5G Push

December 9, 2025, 6:53 PM EST. At about $204, T-Mobile US appears attractively priced on a mix of headlines and cash-flow math. The stock has slid modestly over the last week and year, but remains up strongly over 3 and 5 years, underscoring a long-term bull tilt even as near-term price action slows. Our model slices through sentiment: a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) framework puts intrinsic value around $529 per share, implying the shares are roughly 61.4% undervalued versus today. The company trades around a P/E of 19.3x, below the peer average, helped by growth from 5G expansion and bundled offerings. What to watch: industry consolidation, spectrum strategy, and whether the lag in 1-year returns relative to peers narrows as fundamentals compound. Overall, a valuation signal echoes in the price despite short-term softness.

Is Costco Still Justifying Its Premium Price After the Share Price Slip?

December 9, 2025, 6:52 PM EST. Costco Wholesale trades near $887 a share, preserving hefty gains of about 89% over 3 years and 150% over 5 years despite a recent pullback. The membership model and steady traffic remain the core bull case, but macro headwinds and shifting retail trends add near-term volatility. Our snapshot shows 0/6 valuation checks, suggesting the stock looks fully priced by traditional metrics. A DCF model points to a fair value around $690, implying the shares are overvalued by about 28-29% today. The price-to-earnings view further flags a stretched multiple for a slower-growth profile. Investors should weigh Costco's long-run resilience against current multiples and what that means for future returns.

By contrast, the SPY's RSI sits around 57.7, underscoring AAON's relative weakness. Investors might seek a bounce confirmation near support before committing capital.

December 9, 2025, 6:36 PM EST. Volt Group Limited (ASX: VPR) has slipped about 10% over the past week, yet the company posts attractive fundamentals.

Overall, the pullback in price may reflect sentiment, while fundamentals point to upside potential for prospective shareholders.

SpaceX Eyes Record-Breaking 2026 IPO Valued at About $1.5 Trillion

December 9, 2025, 6:07 PM EST. SpaceX is moving forward with an IPO aiming to raise well above $30 billion and target a total valuation near $1.5 trillion, potentially the largest listing in history. The plan, eyed for mid-to-late 2026 with possible slip to 2027, would place SpaceX near the Saudi Aramco 2019 listing benchmark.

Much of the revenue is projected from Starlink, including a direct-to-mobile service, alongside progress on Starship rockets. Proceeds could fund space-based data centers and infrastructure. In the current secondary offering, SpaceX set a per-share price around $420, signaling a recalibrated fair value as liquidity moves for employees and investors.

FMC Stock Slumps 64% in 3 Months: Is a $24.92 Fair Value a Contrarian Opportunity?

December 9, 2025, 6:06 PM EST. FMC (FMC) has shed roughly 64% over three months and more than 70% in the year, pushing the stock to about $13.10. Our latest analysis suggests the market is pricing in meaningful earnings risk, even as management pursues a cost transformation aimed at lower COGS and improved EBITDA. The article argues a fair value near $24.92 implies the stock could be undervalued, driven by potential earnings repair, margin recovery, and a higher future multiple. Key catalysts include the 2024-2025 restructuring, a shift from direct India operations to a B2B model, and debt reduction freeing up capital for growth. Yet risks remain: ongoing regulatory uncertainty and persistent free cash flow shortfalls could keep multiples depressed.

US job openings unchanged in October; cooling labor market could lift unemployment

December 9, 2025, 5:57 PM EST. U.S. job openings were virtually unchanged in October at about 7.7 million, with layoffs nearing their highest since January 2023 and quits dipping. The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey shows openings hovering near September's 7.66 million as hiring demand cools amid persistent high rates. The rise in layoffs to almost 1.9 million points to more aggressive cost-cutting by firms, a shift from attrition to active layoffs. Economists warn the labor market remains tight but softer, a dynamic that could lift unemployment if the trend continues. Since the March 2022 peak of 12.1 million, openings have eased as the Fed's rate hikes weigh on demand. Markets will watch how this balance of vacancies, layoffs, and quits colors wage growth and the path for monetary policy.

Structure Therapeutics surges on obesity-pill data as GLP-1 rivals eye FDA approvals

December 9, 2025, 5:56 PM EST. Structure Therapeutics stock surged after the open, jumping as much as 72% as positive Phase 2b results for its oral GLP-1 obesity pill aleniglipron lit up traders. The shares rose as much as 40% in premarket trading. In the 36-week study, aleniglipron delivered weight loss of 11.3%; adverse events led to 10.4% discontinuations at the 120 mg dose, while no dropouts occurred at the 2.5 mg dose. The data pave the way for late-stage trials in mid-2026. The CEO called the readout differentiated and potentially best-in-class among oral GLP-1s for chronic use. With pills viewed as cheaper and more patient-friendly than injections, Novo Nordisk has filed for FDA approval, and Eli Lilly is expected to apply by year-end.

Asian shares slip as Wall Street pulls back from record highs

December 9, 2025, 5:55 PM EST. U.S. stocks largely held in place as investors await the Federal Reserve's Wednesday guidance on the path for interest rates. The S&P 500 edged down 0.1% and remained near its October high, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped about 179 points (-0.4%) and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.1%. A drag from JPMorgan Chase after Marianne Lake warned 2025 expenses could reach $105 billion, up 9% from this year, sent the stock down roughly 4.7%. The Toll Brothers retreat (-2.4%) came as CEO Douglas Yearley Jr. said demand and affordability pressures persist for new homes. Mortgage rates sit cheaper versus the start of the year but ticked higher amid questions about how much more the Fed will cut rates, with markets awaiting the central bank's guidance on the pace of rate cuts.

Mader Group: Insiders Hold 68% of ASX:MAD as shares slide 6.8%

December 9, 2025, 5:54 PM EST. Mader Group Limited (ASX:MAD) shows a heavy insider footprint, with insiders owning about 68% of shares, and Luke Mader alone controlling about 51%. The ownership stack is topped by Luke Mader as the largest shareholder, followed by a roughly 16% stake and a 6% stake held by the next two holders. Despite some recent insider sales, insiders retain the lion's share, aligning incentives with the company's path. The stock has eased about 6.8% in the last week, creating a pullback that could test the group's risk-reward. Institutions are present on the registry, indicating some arm's-length confidence, though analyst views appear mixed. CEO Justin Nuich owns around 0.6%. Investors should weigh insider ownership against the earnings trajectory and broader market data.

December 9, 2025, 5:50 PM EST. GE Vernova's stock GEV climbed about 5% after the company unveiled stronger-than-expected guidance: 2028 revenue outlook raised to $52 billion from $45 billion, and the board doubled the quarterly dividend to $0.50 per share effective immediately. The company also boosted its free cash flow guidance to roughly $22B through 2028 and now expects adjusted EBITDA margin to reach 20% by 2028 (vs prior ~14%).

The development signals accelerating growth and fortress balance sheet strength, positioning GEV as a near-term momentum name in the renewables/energy generation space.

Orica Limited (ASX:ORI): Institutions Own ~50% as Ownership Mix Emerges from Share Registry

December 9, 2025, 5:48 PM EST. Orica Limited (ASX:ORI) shows a mixed ownership picture, with institutions near the 50% mark and no single majority holder. Australian Super Pty Ltd is the largest disclosed shareholder at 8.4%, with the next two holders around 7.6% and 6.1%. Our analysis indicates 25 top shareholders collectively own less than 50%, implying the share registry isn't controlled by one party. This institutional base can signal confidence but also means swift moves if big holders adjust positions. Notably, the stock is described as not hedge fund-owned, which may influence how information flows into the price. Insider activity and earnings history add context, and analysts provide perspectives to monitor alongside ownership shifts.

Market Outlook: Caution Persists as TSX Surges and Valuations Stretch

December 9, 2025, 5:47 PM EST. The TSX has surged about 26.6% year-to-date even as macro and political uncertainty persists, prompting caution as valuations look stretched across banks, U.S. tech, and gold. Lightwater Partners' Jerome Hass notes few obvious anchor ideas, nudging investors toward Canadian mid-cap stocks that remain under-followed due to lighter institutional participation. The piece flags a potential near-term catalyst in Cineplex as a strategic sale could occur before its CEO retires in 2026, and highlights DRI Healthcare Trust and Fairfax Financial as value plays with potential catalysts such as index inclusion for Fairfax. The takeaway: while the market ends 2026 with optimism, valuation risk argues for a guarded stance and selective exposure.

Crude Prices Slip on Global Glut Fears as Dollar Rises and Russian Exports Remain Restricted

December 9, 2025, 5:46 PM EST. Crude prices ended lower on Tuesday, with WTI and RBOB futures dipping after a 1.5-week and 2-week lows, respectively. A firmer dollar and renewed concerns about a global oil glut weighed on sentiment. While losses were capped by expectations that Russian energy exports remain restricted amid ongoing conflict, softer crude crack spreads and weak refining demand pressured buying. Trafigura warned of a coming glut next year as new supplies collide with soft demand, and Saudi Aramco's Arab Light price cut for Asia added to the tone of weakened demand. Geopolitical risk-sanctions, drone strikes, and tanker incidents-provided some support, but the outlook remains tied to OPEC+ policy and the pace of global demand.

Dollar Gains as US Jobs Data Boost Fed-Cuts Bets Ahead of FOMC Meeting

December 9, 2025, 5:44 PM EST. The dollar index (DXY) rose about 0.11% on Tuesday as traders cover shorts ahead of a two-day FOMC meeting. A stronger-than-expected Oct JOLTS reading at 7.670 million reinforced hawkish pressure, though markets still price roughly a 90% probability of a 25 bp Fed cut at the meeting. Politics loom: President Trump's pick for a new Fed Chair-widely seen as Kevin Hassett-could prove dovish and weigh on the dollar. The EUR/USD eased on dollar strength amid weak German trade data, while policy divergence limits losses. USD/JPY rose about 0.60% as the yen weakens; BOJ commentary from Ueda signals possible additional easing. Traders also weigh a tiny chance of December ECB action.

Natural Gas Slumps as Warmer US Weather Forecasts Douse Heating Demand amid Rising Production

December 9, 2025, 5:43 PM EST. Nat-Gas prices slid on Tuesday, with January Nymex NGF26 dropping about 6.9% to a one-week low as warmer US weather forecasts curb heating demand. Forecaster Atmospheric G2 says December 14-18 should be warmer across the central US and above normal into December 19-23, triggering heavy futures liquidation. On the supply side, the EIA lifted its 2025 US nat-gas production outlook to about 107.74 bcf/d, and current output remains near record levels even as rigs hover around 129. LNG flows to US terminals rose modestly, while last week's EIA report showed a smaller-than-expected draw. European storage sits about 72% full, underscoring abundant supplies despite seasonal swings.

Live: ASX set to rise as Fed meeting eyes rate cuts

December 9, 2025, 5:41 PM EST. Good morning and welcome to the ABC's finance blog! The ASX looks set for a marginally higher open, with futures signaling about a 0.2% gain. Wall Street is flat as investors await the US Federal Reserve two-day meeting. Markets are pricing in a 0.25 percentage point rate cut tomorrow, with about an 87% probability per CME's FedWatch. The Fed is expected to shift toward supporting jobs and growth, contrasting with the RBA's tougher path. Attention will also fall on Powell's post-decision press conference and the Fed's forecasts for the rate trajectory. Political chatter around a possible successor, Kevin Hassett, adds a note of uncertainty about policy independence. In Australia, the RBA remains more likely to lift rates in 2026 if inflation stays high.

Gold held gains and silver overshadowed other metals, jumping about 4.4% to a record near $60.7/oz. Overnight data showed the S&P 500 retreating from early gains into the close as AI earnings and central-bank tone influenced sentiment. Global yields nudged higher on a hawkish tilt, keeping risk assets in a tentative stance ahead of policy moves.

FSUN Crosses Above 200-Day Moving Average, Signaling Bullish Momentum

December 9, 2025, 5:38 PM EST. Firstsun Capital Bancorp (FSUN) jumped to as high as $36.62 on Tuesday after crossing above its 200-day moving average of $36.53. The stock was up about 2.3% on the day, trading near $36.44 after the move. The 52-week range runs from $29.95 to $45.32. The breakout above the key moving average may signal a shift in near-term momentum, though traders will monitor whether the strength sustains beyond this level.

Sugar Prices Fall as Real Weakens Amid Global Oversupply Signals

December 9, 2025, 5:30 PM EST. March NY world sugar #11 (SBH26) and March London ICE white sugar #5 (SWH26) closed lower, with prices near three-week lows as the Brazilian real weakens. The real's slide to a 1.75-month low against the dollar is lifting export incentives for Brazil's sugar producers while keeping global supplies ample. ISMA's update shows India's Oct-Nov sugar production up 43% year over year to 4.11 MMT, with 428 mills crushing cane, supporting a bearish backdrop. Brazil's 2025/26 production outlook was nudged up to 45 MMT by Conab, and Center-South output rose 8.7% y/y in early November. ISO's forecast of a 1.625 MMT surplus for 2025-26 reinforces the surplus theme, contributing to softer prices amid rising world production.

Ryan Specialty: Reassessing Valuation After a 21% One-Year Slide

December 9, 2025, 5:29 PM EST. Ryan Specialty Holdings (RYAN) has fallen about 21% over the last year, even as revenue and earnings growth remains positive. A roughly 7% decline over the past month and a 7-day drop highlight cooling momentum, even as the business expands into higher-margin specialty lines and niche MGUs. With shares trading well below analyst targets, the fair-value narrative suggests upside tied to continued top-line growth and margin expansion. The stock could appeal to investors seeking a growth story with insider backing and a premium earnings multiple, but risks include softer property/casualty pricing and potential M&A integration missteps that could derail margins. The analysis weighs whether today's price properly discounts upside potential versus valuation risk.

GameStop earnings, NFIB, and JOLTS: What to watch on Tuesday

December 9, 2025, 5:27 PM EST. Markets eye a busy Tuesday with earnings from GameStop, AutoZone, and Campbell Soup, plus key labor data. Campbell's reports before the open, with sales expected to fall 4-5% on a tough year-ago comparison, amid tariffs and higher marketing costs. On the labor side, the NFIB optimism Index is seen edging up to 98.3, signaling a cautious but steady mood among small businesses. The JOLTS report for October job openings is projected at about 7.2 million, pointing to no major shift in hiring momentum as the September data was delayed by the government shutdown. Overall, hiring demand remains steady as markets await earnings guidance.

Cocoa Rises on Shrinking Global Surplus; Index Inclusion Could Spark Fresh Buying

December 9, 2025, 5:23 PM EST. March ICE NY cocoa closed up 3.17%, and March ICE London up 3.23%, extending a two-week rally to 3.5-week highs. The global cocoa surplus outlook has narrowed after the ICCO cut its 2024/25 estimate to 49,000 MT and trimmed production to 4.69 MMT. Rabobank followed with a smaller 2025/26 surplus view of 250,000 MT. The rally is also supported by index inclusion: NY cocoa will be part of the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) from January, potentially generating as much as $2 billion of buying in the first week. Tighter inventories at US ports (1,672,131 bags) and lighter Ivory Coast port arrivals add support, despite favorable West Africa weather that could boost yields. The market had earlier priced in ample supply amid a delayed EU deforestation law.

The latest price hovered near $46.13, within a 52-week range of $46.01-$66.12. Despite the day's roughly -2.5% move, the market is viewing the slide as a potential exhaustion of selling, setting up a possible buy point. The broader context shows the energy universe at an average RSI of 41.4, with WTI Crude Oil at 55.1, Henry Hub Natural Gas at 60.1, and the 3-2-1 Crack Spread at 31.2. A bullish investor might monitor for confirmation signals before entering, considering risk management and upside potential.

The stock's last trade hovered around $46.13, down ~2.5% for the day. The stock's 52-week range sits at $46.01-$66.12, highlighting a potential lower bound near the current print.

CWT Crosses Critical Technical Indicator: RSI 28.1 Signals Oversold Territory

December 9, 2025, 5:17 PM EST. California Water Service Group (CWT) traded as low as $46.01 after entering oversold territory with an RSI of 28.1. Against an energy-stock average RSI of 41.4, and benchmarks like WTI Crude Oil (RSI 55.1), Henry Hub Natural Gas (RSI 60.1), and the 3-2-1 Crack Spread (RSI 31.2), the reading underscores momentum deterioration. A bullish reader could interpret the 28.1 RSI as exhausted selling and seek a potential entry point. On a 52-week chart, the low is $46.01 and the high is $66.12, with the latest trade near $46.13, down about 2.5% on the day. The note also invites reviewing other oversold energy names.

Galp Energia GALP Valuation After Pullback: 10.5x P/E and €28.95 DCF Fair Value

December 9, 2025, 5:16 PM EST. Galp Energia SGPS (ENXTLS:GALP) has drifted lower this month, even as profits and cash flow stay solid from its integrated energy model. A -14.7% one-day drop and roughly -7% YTD slide contrast with a 5-year TSR of about 110%, underscoring a resilient longer-term story amid energy-price shifts and project risk. At €14.79, Galp trades at a modest 10.5x P/E, below peers (13.4x) and the European oil-and-gas average (11.8x), suggesting a valuation gap. Our view: the stock appears undervalued versus fundamentals, with a DCF implying a fair value near €28.95– about double the current price if cash flows materialize. Risks include energy-price volatility and execution risk in upstream/renewables. Could Galp be a selective value play as sentiment stabilizes?

Globee Inc. (TSE:5575) Fundamentals Look Strong Despite Recent Selloff

December 9, 2025, 5:15 PM EST. Globee's ROE stands at about 29% on trailing twelve months (to Aug 2025), signaling high profitability and efficient use of equity. Despite a 31% drop over the past quarter, the company shows roughly 37% net income growth over five years and outpaces the industry average growth. The robust ROE aligns with substantial retained earnings and ongoing reinvestment, as Globee has not paid regular dividends, fueling earnings expansion. Investors should consider whether this growth is already priced in, given the stock's valuation narrative and lack of current distributions. With reinvestment as a growth lever, could the market be underestimating Globee's long-term value?

CWT RSI at 28.1 Signals Oversold Condition for California Water Service Group

December 9, 2025, 5:04 PM EST. California Water Service Group (CWT) slipped into oversold territory as the RSI fell to 28.1, with prints as low as $46.01.

The broader context shows the energy universe with an average RSI of 41.4, while WTI Crude sits at 55.1 and Henry Hub Natural Gas at 60.1; the 3-2-1 Crack Spread RSI stands at 31.2. Some bulls may view the RSI reading as indicative of selling exhaustion and look for optional entry points.

Investors may want to review historical payout consistency as part of their decision, while monitoring for a potential rebound in momentum.

Lackluster Rains in Brazil Support Coffee Prices as Global Supply Signals Emerge

December 9, 2025, 4:57 PM EST. March arabica futures (KCH26) rose 0.70% and January ICE robusta (RMF26) gained 0.24% as prices trimmed Monday's losses. The move is supported by below-normal rainfall in Brazil, with Minas Gerais receiving just 11 mm-about 17% of normal-during the week to Dec 5. A weaker real boosts Brazilian exports. Brazil's Conab lifted the 2025 crop view to 56.54 million bags, underscoring supply pressures. Vietnamese output is seen higher next year, adding to global supply. The EU's deforestation regulation was delayed for a year, keeping imports flowing. ICE inventories show arabica stocks near a 1-month high after a prior 1.75-year low, while robusta inventories sit near multi-month lows, leaving a mixed backdrop for prices.

Lackluster Rains in Brazil Boost Coffee Prices

December 9, 2025, 4:56 PM EST. Coffee prices rose Tuesday, with March arabica up 0.70% and January ICE robusta up 0.24%, rebounding from Monday's losses. The pull is supported by below-normal rainfall in Brazil-Minas Gerais received only 11 mm (17% of its historical average) in the week to Dec 5, per Somar Meteorologia. A softer BRL also trimmed export pressure, though stronger supplies in Vietnam and a delay to the EU deforestation law (EUDR) weigh on sentiment. ICE inventories showed pockets of tightness for arabica and robusta, while Brazilian production forecasts nudged higher by Conab to 56.54 million bags for 2025. With Brazil rainfall concerns, global supplies shifts and demand signals in Vietnam, the scenario remains clouded for coffee traders.

Lackluster Rains in Brazil Boost Coffee Prices

December 9, 2025, 4:55 PM EST. Coffee prices firmed on Tuesday as futures rebounded from Monday's losses. March arabica (KCH26) rose 0.70% and January ICE robusta (RMF26) added 0.24%. The move came as below-normal rainfall in Brazil supported prices, with Minas Gerais receiving just 11 mm (about 17% of the historical average) in the week to Dec 5. A weaker real also boosted export demand from Brazil. On the supply side, Conab lifted the 2025 Brazilian coffee production estimate to 56.54 million bags, though overall inventories remain tight on the ICE for arabica and robusta. Vietnam's 2025/26 output is expected to rise around 6%, contributing to ample global supply. The EU's deforestation law delay (EUDR) reduces near-term import risk, while recent price activity reflects a balancing of growing supplies and resilient demand.

Lackluster Brazilian Rains Support Coffee Prices as Supplies Remain in Focus

December 9, 2025, 4:54 PM EST. Coffee futures edged higher on Tuesday, with March arabica (KCH26) up 0.70% and January ICE robusta (RMF26) higher amid a mixed supply backdrop. Weather in Brazil remained below-normal rainfall lifting price support; Minas Gerais, the largest arabica region, received only 11 mm in the week to Dec 5, about 17% of average. A weaker Brazilian real weighed on export dynamics, helping producers. However, the outlook remains bearish from ample supplies: Conab lifted 2025 Brazilian production to 56.54 million bags, while Vietnam's exports and output projects suggest plentiful supplies. ICE inventories showed weakness in arabica and robusta, with tighter US inventories adding a speculative edge. Global concerns around deforestation rules in the EU (EUDR delay) could delay tighter restrictions, keeping imports flowing. Overall, supplies remain a key driver, with prices recouping some Monday losses.

AMD Stock Forecast 2026: Can AMD Break Nvidia's Grip and Become an AI Powerhouse?

December 9, 2025, 4:49 PM EST. AMD has long trailed Nvidia in the AI hardware race, but a series of strategic moves is altering the landscape. The Nod.ai acquisition boosted the ROCm software stack, driving a surge in downloads and signaling that AMD is closing the ecosystem gap. A high-profile OpenAI partnership for six gigawatts of computing power reinforces credibility and could reshape enterprise adoption. Looking ahead to 2026, the window narrows around China's massive AI market, where export constraints persist. CEO Lisa Su has floated a path that could include a 15% export tax to access the MI308 chip under U.S. rules, potentially unlocking a new revenue stream if approved. With internal resolve, alliances, and favorable timing, AMD risks becoming a genuine AI contender rather than a follower.

Graphic Packaging Holding (GPK) Clears 3% Yield Threshold on Dividend Play

December 9, 2025, 4:44 PM EST. Graphic Packaging Holding Co (GPK) moved into a yield above 3% based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $0.44) as shares traded near $13.93. The note emphasizes dividends as a meaningful slice of total return, citing the long-run IWV example where dividends raised a flat price path to an annualized return of about 1.0%. If that yield is sustainable, a 3% annual yield could be attractive relative to price performance. Still, dividend amounts are not guaranteed and follow profitability. Looking at GPK's history can help judge whether the latest payout is likely to continue and support a 3% yield. The views are author opinions, not Nasdaq guarantees.

December 9, 2025, 4:37 PM EST.

Is It Too Late to Consider AIG After a Strong Five-Year Run?

Nvidia Slumped 12.6% in November: What's Next for the AI Behemoth?

December 9, 2025, 4:19 PM EST. Nvidia delivered another blowout quarter on November 19, yet the stock fell 12.6% in November as investors weighed the AI bubble and the risk to its dominance. While Nvidia sells the chips others use to scale AI, rivals like Google with Gemini 3 and its own TPUs challenge the scarcity narrative around Nvidia's GPUs. Still, Q3 results showed robust growth, gross margins, and solid demand, suggesting orders remain healthy despite macro fears. The stock has bounced about 4% in December, but near-term upside seems tied to whether AI spend sustains and whether hyperscalers can diversify away from Nvidia. Long-term risk includes valuation and the uncertain real-world impact of AI, though Nvidia's position remains formidable for now.

Nvidia Stock Slump in November: Is the AI Boom at Risk?

December 9, 2025, 4:18 PM EST. Despite delivering another blowout quarter on November 19, Nvidia (NVDA) shares dropped 12.6% from Oct. 31 to Nov. 28 as investor fears grew about an AI bubble. Investors question whether demand for Nvidia's GPUs and chips can sustain the valuation, especially as hyperscalers like Google pursue in-house options. Google's Gemini 3, trained on TPUs, highlighted cheaper, capable alternatives and challenged Nvidia's perceived dominance. Yet Nvidia's Q3 results showed robust top- and bottom-line growth with SaaS-like margins, and the stock has since rebounded modestly in December. The near term remains strong, but the question is whether AI's real-world impact will justify hundreds of billions in capital and whether Nvidia can keep leading as competitors push their own chip ecosystems.

Sugar Prices Slip as Real Weakness, Brazilian Output Dims

December 9, 2025, 4:12 PM EST. March NY #11 sugar and March London white sugar are slipping, extending a two-week decline to multi-week lows. The Brazilian real weakness (-1.7% today) is seen as boosting export sales and pressuring prices.

In Brazil, Center-South production is down sharply in mid-November (down 59.2% y/y to 898 MT), with a year-to-date drop of about 3%. Drought and heat damaged crops in Sao Paulo, and Conab cut Brazil's 2024/25 output to 44 MMT. The outlook for higher Thai production adds pressure, while India's ethanol-policy shifts keep export prospects uncertain.

Coffee Prices Lift on Below-Normal Brazil Rainfall and Tightening Supplies

December 9, 2025, 4:11 PM EST. Coffee futures firmed after Monday's losses as market weighs supply dynamics. March arabica (KCH26) rose ~1.6% and January ICE robusta (RMF26) ~1.0%. The move is supported by below-normal rainfall in Brazil, especially in Minas Gerais, heightening arabica supply risk. Somar Meteorologia reported 11 mm of rain in the week to Dec 5, about 17% of average. Yet demand and inventories remain mixed: Conab lifted Brazil's 2025 production to 56.54 million bags; ICE arabica inventories slumped to a multi-year low while robusta inventories sit near 11.5 months. Vietnam's exports and output are rising, tamping some gains. The EU's EUDR deforestation delay keeps imports flowing. Overall, tighter global supplies and weather risk underpin prices.

Northern Oil and Gas (NOG): Valuation Revisited After a Mixed Year and Rebound

December 9, 2025, 3:43 PM EST. Northern Oil and Gas (NOG) has faced a rough year, with the stock sliding YTD even as the past month delivered a double-digit rebound. The setup suggests sentiment may be stabilizing, and long-term total shareholder returns remain attractive for patient holders. At issue is whether the stock trades at a genuine discount to a fair value estimate of around $32.40, versus a last close near $24.13. NOG's strategy of disciplined acquisitions of long-dated, stable production assets aims to cushion volatility in energy prices and reinforce durable cash flows and margins. However, weaker commodity realizations and reliance on acquisitions imply risks that could shrink the valuation gap if missteps occur. The research highlights rewards and warnings and invites readers to test their own numbers.

Vulcan Materials (VMC) Valuation After Its Steady Rally: Is the Upside Real?

December 9, 2025, 3:42 PM EST. Vulcan Materials (VMC) has quietly advanced, up ~3% in a month and ~8% over the year, with the share price around $295.78. Our take: steady volume gains and long-duration infrastructure demand support a constructive trajectory, with a fair value near $317.70, suggesting upside remains. However, the market already prices in that run, with a P/E around 34.7x vs. a fair 23.6x and a sector average near 14.9x, signaling valuation risk. Key positives include resilience from infrastructure and green projects lifting volumes and margins; key risks include residential softness and Southeast funding headwinds. Overall, VMC looks undervalued on fundamentals, but the risk/reward is tied to macro and infrastructure cycles.

December 9, 2025, 3:41 PM EST. Euronet Worldwide (EEFT) has drifted lower this year while the business delivers steady revenue and earnings growth, setting up a potential value opportunity. At roughly $73.37, the stock shows a roughly 27% YTD decline and a 29% 1-year total return, suggesting sentiment has cooled against improving fundamentals. The investment narrative points to an undervalued setup with a fair value around the high $110s (recent estimate: $117.43), creating a meaningful upside if execution matches expectations. The CoreCard acquisition and the Ren platform could accelerate digital payments processing and credit issuing in Europe and Asia, improving margins. Key risks include regulatory pressure on remittances and competition from large tech rivals, which could temper the upside.

December 9, 2025, 3:21 PM EST. Okeanis Eco Tankers Corp. (ECO) is benefiting from rising earnings estimates, with the Zacks Rank improving to #1 (Strong Buy).

The connection between earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock moves underpins the bullish setup, as analysts grow more optimistic about ECO's prospects.

MicroStrategy: Can Subscription Services Power Long-Term Software Growth?

December 9, 2025, 3:20 PM EST. Strategy Inc. (MSTR) is known for its Bitcoin strategy, but its software and enterprise analytics business remains the core. Subscription services are increasingly the key stabilizer and growth driver, with Q3 2025 subscription revenues up 65.4% YoY to $46.0 million, about 36% of total revenue. Yet growth across the software segment is uneven, as declines in product support and other services offset some gains, keeping legacy software from becoming a major growth engine. Still, healthy margins support profitability and underline the stabilizing role of subscriptions amid Bitcoin-driven earnings volatility. Looking ahead, the Zacks Consensus projects modest gains: about 2.1% in 2025 and 4.9% in 2026. Competitors such as Microsoft (Power BI) and Salesforce (Tableau) illustrate the appeal of recurring revenue in analytics and cloud software.

Saudi Aramco's price cut for Arab Light to Asian buyers signaled softer demand, though sanctions and attacks in the Black Sea, plus Russian disruption, offered a floor for prices.

December 9, 2025, 3:04 PM EST. Sea Limited (SE) has shed about 33% over the last three months, underperforming the Zacks Computer & Technology sector and the Internet – Software group. The decline stems from weak logistics and value-added services revenues, ongoing e-commerce competition, and rising costs that compress margins. The firm faces intensified competition across its platforms: Shopee battles Lazada (Alibaba) on pricing, logistics and subsidies; Monee contends with regional fintech players like Grab Holdings; Garena competes with major game studios such as Take-Two Interactive. Currency fluctuations and softer conditions in emerging markets also weigh on results. With rising cost structure-e.g., third-quarter 2025 cost of revenues up sharply-the question for investors is whether to hold or exit before further losses.

December 9, 2025, 2:55 PM EST. Datadog's expanding security portfolio is poised to be a meaningful growth catalyst beyond its observability base. The multi-layered suite-Cloud SIEM, Cloud Security Posture Management, Application Security Management and Software Security Assurance-drove mid-50% year-over-year Security ARR growth in Q3 2025. An enterprise base of roughly 4,060 customers with >$100k ARR supports cross-selling security modules with minimal onboarding friction. The Street has Datadog pegged for about $3.39B in 2025 revenue, up ~26% as multi-product usage deepens. But the path isn't without hurdles: intense competition from SentinelOne and Cloudflare, and the uneven adoption of unified observability-security architectures across sectors and geographies. Long-term durability will depend on how well Datadog harmonizes innovation, platform breadth and enterprise budgeting to sustain security-led growth.

Community Health Systems Stock Dips 7% as Leverage Concerns Overshadow Strong Quarter

December 9, 2025, 2:54 PM EST. Community Health Systems (CYH) slid about 7% after a quarter that topped earnings estimates but left investors focused on debt load.

Key pressures include heavy leverage, soft patient demand, thin profitability, and heightened hospital-sector risk conviction.

CYH is selling non-core assets (e.g., Labcorp deal for roughly $194 million). Management targets 2025 EPS of $0.80-$0.90, versus a Zacks consensus of $0.87; 2026 is expected to show a loss.

If the housing market recovers, HD sees stronger momentum: same-store sales growth 4%-5%, revenue 5%-6%, and mid-to-high single-digit earnings growth. Management cited mortgage and interest-rate headwinds weighing on turnover, but suggested affordability is restoring balance as home prices trend near flat. About 55% of US homes are 40+ years old, potentially fueling maintenance and renovations. For the current year, HD reiterated a slightly positive same-store sales and a roughly 5% decline in EPS. The stock rose modestly early on and sits about 10% lower this year.

Investors looking for undervalued banks with improving earnings should note TD as the clearer value play today.

December 9, 2025, 2:43 PM EST. Stonepeak, a leading infrastructure investor, marked its ASX debut with a $300 million debt note that was snapped up within days, signaling a potential ASX-listed debt bonanza.

Markets rise as Fed kicks off; Home Depot outlines cautious 2026 outlook amid housing headwinds

December 9, 2025, 2:42 PM EST. Markets rose as the Fed meeting kicks off and JOLTS data show openings increasing, while Home Depot investors heard a cautious 2026 outlook. The retailer expects same-store sales to be flat to +2% and revenue growth of 2.5%-4.5%, with adjusted earnings near flat to up ~4%. But if the housing market improves, SSS could reach 4%-5% and revenue 5%-6%, with earnings in the mid-to-high single digits. Management cited persistent high rates and affordability pressures, noting aging housing stock (roughly 55% 40+ years old) could spur maintenance and renovation demand. HD rose modestly in early trading but is about 10% lower year-to-date; current guidance remains slightly positive SSS and about a 5% cut to EPS for the year.

General Mills (GIS) Valuation Reconsidered as Shares Slip on Higher Rates and Shifting Consumer Trends

December 9, 2025, 2:39 PM EST. General Mills (GIS) has slid this year as investors rethink a classic defensive stock in a higher-rate, shifting-consumer environment. With a roughly -27% year-to-date drop and about -41% in three-year TSR, the stock shows that defensives don't always shield investors from changing growth dynamics and rate pressure. The current softness suggests momentum fading more than stabilization, even as the shares trade at a meaningful discount to analyst targets. The fair value narrative sits about 17% above the last close, implying investors may be discounting reinvestment risk and near-term margin headwinds. A softer consumer backdrop, value-driven spending, and pricing pressure could weigh on revenue in the near term, though stronger reinvestment or a rebound in snacks and cereals could rekindle growth. Key risks include slower growth, margin compression, and valuation shifts ahead.

General Mills GIS: Rethinking Valuation After a Steep Share Price Slide

December 9, 2025, 2:38 PM EST. General Mills has slid around 27% YTD, with a roughly 41% three-year total return decline, challenging the notion that it remains a defensive anchor in a higher-rate, shifting-consumer environment. The stock trades at a meaningful discount to analyst targets and some intrinsic value estimates, suggesting potential upside for patient income investors if reinvestment strength or a snack/cereal rebound materializes. The narrative fair value sits about 17% above the last close, signaling investors may be pricing in slower growth and a tougher consumer backdrop. Key risks include slower top-line growth, margin pressure, and brighter outlook depends on stronger reinvestment returns or faster revenue recovery. Bottom line: valuation looks undervalued vs. forecasts, but upside hinges on a rebound in fundamentals and confidence.

Charter Communications: Is the $204 stock mispriced after a 44% slide and heavy broadband investment?

December 9, 2025, 2:37 PM EST. Charter Communications trades around $204 as it pours more into broadband upgrades and mobile growth. The shares are down about 44% this year and 68% over 5 years, with leverage and buybacks shaping sentiment. A valuation framework scores it 5/6 and a DCF approach estimates intrinsic value near $834 per share, implying roughly a 75% gap to today's price and an undervalued setup. Trailing free cash flow runs about $4.5B, supporting the bull case if capital investments translate into stronger cash generation. Still, execution risk and the balance sheet warrant close monitoring as the company navigates funding needs and market competition.

Is Charter Communications Mispriced After a 44% Slide? DCF Signals Substantial Upside

December 9, 2025, 2:35 PM EST. Charter Communications trades around $204 per share as it pursues heavy broadband investments and mobile expansion. The stock has fallen about 44% over the past year, with a long-run record that remains pressured. On a forward-looking framework, the stock earns a valuation score of 5/6, and a DCF analysis points to an intrinsic value near $834 per share, implying roughly a 75.5% discount to fair value. The analysis highlights a tension: debt load and ongoing buybacks versus the cash-flow momentum from network upgrades and operating leverage. Taken together, the model suggests the stock is undervalued today, but investors should weigh execution risk, competitive dynamics, and capital-allocation decisions before buying.

Bitwise BITW ETF expands crypto exposure with 10-asset basket including Cardano, Avalanche, Sui and Polkadot

December 9, 2025, 2:26 PM EST. Bitwise's BITW ETF began trading, offering a single vehicle for exposure to 10 digital assets: Bitcoin, ether, XRP, Solana, Chainlink, Litecoin, Cardano, Avalanche, Sui and Polkadot. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley says the move makes Avalanche, Sui and Polkadot among the first major tokens included in an ETF from a leading crypto manager, expanding access for financial advisors and retail investors tapping retirement accounts. The fund, converted from an index fund and already carrying about $1.5 billion in assets, promises broader trading permissions, tax efficiency, and potentially lower fees versus holding separate assets. The rollout comes after a wave of spot bitcoin ETF approvals in 2024 and amid a crypto market pullback that highlighted the appeal of diversified baskets versus single-coin bets, though risk remains for smaller investors.

Is It Too Late to Buy On Holding After Its Recent Rebound? A Valuation Breakdown

December 9, 2025, 2:21 PM EST. On Holding has staged a recent price rebound, but investors still debate whether the entry point is attractive. The stock rose about 5.2% last week and 34.3% over the last month, while remaining down year-to-date. Our valuation shows a mixed picture: On Holding scores just 1/6 on valuation checks. The Discounted Cash Flow model assigns an intrinsic value of about $54.10 per share, suggesting the shares are roughly 13% undervalued vs. the current price. A high P/E multiple flags elevated growth expectations, while expanding brand reach and new product launches support long-term demand. Taken together, the stock looks undervalued on cash flows but carries red flags to consider before investing.

Bitwise BITW Expands Crypto Exposure with Cardano, Avalanche, Sui and Polkadot in 10-Crypto ETF

December 9, 2025, 2:20 PM EST. Bitwise is expanding crypto investing with the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF (BITW), which now tracks 10 assets including Bitcoin, ether, XRP, Solana, Chainlink, Litecoin, Cardano, Avalanche, Sui and Polkadot. The fund, converted from an index fund, began trading with about $1.5 billion in assets and marks the first ETF from a major crypto manager to include Cardano, Avalanche, Sui and Polkadot. The move broadens access for financial advisors and retail investors seeking exposure beyond single-asset ETFs, offering broader diversification, potential tax efficiency, and greater trading flexibility. While markets have faced pullbacks, the ETF could appeal to those seeking a simpler, wide-ranging crypto allocation for retirement accounts.

Bitwise's BITW expands crypto access with a 10-asset ETF including Cardano, Avalanche, Sui and Polkadot

December 9, 2025, 2:19 PM EST. Bitwise launches the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF (BITW), converting an index fund into an ETF to give investors broad crypto exposure. The fund tracks 10 assets-Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, Chainlink, Litecoin, Cardano, Avalanche, Sui, and Polkadot-and marks the first major crypto ETF by a major manager to include Avalanche, Sui, and Polkadot. Trading began with about $1.5 billion in assets under management, offering greater trading flexibility, potential tax efficiency, and easier IRA allocations than single-asset ETFs. The move follows the SEC's approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, as markets seek diversification amid a recent price pullback, with bitcoin hovering in the mid-$80k range.

Is It Too Late to Buy On Holding After Its Recent Rebound? A Valuation Perspective

December 9, 2025, 2:18 PM EST. On Holding has rebounded, up 5.2% over the past week and 34.3% over the last month, yet remains below prior highs. Growth drivers include wider brand expansion across key markets and new product launches in performance running and lifestyle tiers, backed by a shift to premium athletic wear. But the stock's risk/reward is dimmed by a lean valuation: our checks score only 1/6. A DCF model pegs fair value near $54.10 per share, implying about a 13.1% upside versus today's price and an undervalued read, even after the rally. The P/E multiple around the mid-50s suggests stretched near-term expectations, so the upside hinges on sustainable growth and margin expansion. Bottom line: the stock may offer upside but warrants careful, longer-term consideration or a wait-for-entry approach.

AT&T Valuation Check: Is T Undervalued After Recent Price Weakness?

December 9, 2025, 2:16 PM EST. AT&T (T) has drifted lower, trading around $24.84 with a fair value near $31, suggesting the stock could be undervalued. The analysis notes a solid longer-term backdrop: YTD gains remain positive and the 3-year TSR tops 50%, indicating momentum even as near-term sentiment cools. Accelerated 5G and fiber investments, supported by favorable policy and tax moves, expand AT&T's addressable market and anchor recurring revenue from mobile data, video streaming, IoT, and enterprise connectivity. On the downside, intensified competition and weaker fiber build-out returns could pressure margins and close the gap faster than expected. The narrative points to a potential upside if cash flows materialize and earnings multiples re-rate. The piece offers a personalized view via the Simply Wall St Screener and highlights 4 rewards and 4 warning signs.

Is It Too Late to Buy On Holding After the Recent Rebound? Valuation Signals Undervaluation

December 9, 2025, 2:15 PM EST. On Holding has rebounded after a strong run, gaining 5.2% last week and 34.3% over the last month, though it remains down 15.1% YTD and 14.5% over the past year after a 165.3% gain in three years. Growth drivers include ongoing brand expansion across key markets and new product launches in performance running and lifestyle, underpinned by a broader shift to premium athletic wear and solid retailer demand. Despite the momentum, the stock registers just 1/6 on our valuation checks. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model puts an intrinsic value near $54.10 per share (2-stage FCF to equity), suggesting the shares trade at roughly a 13.1% discount to the DCF and are therefore undervalued. The headline numbers are tempered by a high P/E around 56, calling for a cautious, long-term view.

AT&T Valuation Check After Recent Share Price Weakness: Is It Undervalued?

December 9, 2025, 2:14 PM EST. AT&T (T) has eased about 3% over the past week, yet its one-year return remains in double digits and longer-term momentum is intact, with a year-to-date gain and a 3-year total shareholder return above 50%. With the stock trading below consensus targets, a fair value near $31 suggests the shares could re-rate if cash flows materialize. Simply Wall St flags a Fair Value of $30.99, implying an undervalued setup. Catalysts include accelerated 5G and fiber investments, supported by pro-investment legislation and tax savings, expanding the addressable market and potential recurring revenue. Key risks: intensifying competition and potential margin pressure from later-stage fiber builds.

AT&T Valuation Check: Is T Undervalued After Recent Share Price Weakness?

December 9, 2025, 2:13 PM EST. AT&T (ticker T) has drifted 3% lower over the past week, yet a double-digit one-year total return and a robust three-year TSR suggest momentum remains intact. The stock trades around 24.84, while the article flags a narrative fair value near 31 and a valuation gap that points to upside if cash flows materialize. Fueled by accelerated 5G and fiber investments and supportive policy, AT&T expands its addressable market for mobile data, video streaming, IoT, and enterprise connectivity, underpinning recurring revenue and future topline growth. Still, competition and potential pressure on margins from fiber projects pose risks that could close the gap. A full read highlights 4 rewards and 4 warning signs to inform your view.

At one stage, the Sensex plunged 719.73 points to 84,382.96 amid losses in private banking, oil, and information technology stocks. Analysts cited persistent foreign institutional investor outflows and nagging global cues as drags on sentiment.

Analysts cited persistent foreign fund outflows, rupee weakness, and softer global cues. Sectors such as private banking, oil, and IT led losses, while pockets of strength appeared in select names like State Bank of India and Bharti Airtel.

Vietnam stock market booms in 2025: Is this just the beginning?

December 9, 2025, 2:09 PM EST. Vietnam's equity market is outperforming Asia as 2025 unfolds, with the VanEck Vietnam ETF (VNM) up about 62% and the VN Index gaining ~38% YTD, while China's MCHI trails and EEM lags. The rally is driven by stronger domestic participation, liquidity surging toward $2 billion in average daily value, and reform momentum that boosted Vietnam to a secondary emerging market status by FTSE Russell, effective Sept. 2026. Analysts say upgrades could bring $5-$6 billion in inflows, though the market remains concentrated in the real estate names. For longer-term health, executives emphasize broader accessibility for foreign investors, deeper sector diversification, and a stream of high-quality IPOs. The rally may prove durable if authorities sustain reforms and broaden participation.

Vietnam's 2025 stock rally may be just the beginning

December 9, 2025, 2:07 PM EST. Vietnam's stock market is booming in 2025 as the VN Index climbs roughly 38% and the VanEck Vietnam ETF (VNM) surges about 62%. The rally is being fueled by strong domestic demand, reforms, and improving liquidity, with daily value sometimes near $2 billion. Unlike China-linked peers, Vietnam is gaining steam on its own, aided by a potential upgrade to secondary emerging market status from FTSE Russell in 2026, which could bring $5-$6 billion of inflows. Yet risks remain: gains have been concentrated in real estate and a few heavyweights, and officials warn that broader sector diversification, easier foreign access, and more high-quality IPOs are needed to sustain the growth.

Vietnam stocks surge in 2025: Is this the start of a longer rally?

December 9, 2025, 2:06 PM EST. Vietnam's equity rally is outpacing peers, with the VanEck Vietnam ETF (VNM) up about 62%, the VN Index up 38% YTD, and the iShares MSCI China ETF (MCHI) rising around 31%. The market has become more reliant on domestic demand, driven by retail investors, and is trading meaningfully cheaper than US peers. A potential upgrade to secondary emerging market status by FTSE Russell (effective Sept. 21, 2026) could unlock an estimated $5-6 billion in inflows, contingent on deeper reforms. Key priorities include widening foreign investor access, diversifying sectors, and boosting high-quality IPOs. For now, the rally remains narrow, heavily tilted toward real estate names, underscoring the need for broader market depth to sustain gains.

Plug Power (PLUG) Valuation Revisited After Recent Volatility and Mixed Share-Price Action

December 9, 2025, 1:56 PM EST. Plug Power (PLUG) has traded in a wide range as investors reassess risk and execution risk. At about $2.16, the stock recently slid after a 90-day rebound, leaving a deeply negative 3-year total return and signaling fragile sentiment despite some improvement. The narrative points to a possible contrarian entry, aided by high insider ownership and the stock's steep discount to valuation markers, though heavy losses and cash burn remain. Bulls cite a DCF-based fair value near $7.04 versus the $2.16 price, while consensus price target around $2.79 suggests limited near-term upside. Key risks include persistent cash burn, subsidy exposure, funding gaps, and project delays that could undermine upside.

Plug Power (PLUG) Valuation Revisited: Volatility, Mixed Signals, and a Potential Contrarian Buy

December 9, 2025, 1:55 PM EST. Plug Power (PLUG) has traded in a volatile range, with the stock around $2.16 after an 18.5% one-month drop following a 90-day rebound. The company remains deeply negative on a 3-year total shareholder return, signaling fragile sentiment despite signs of a pivot. The debate centers on whether this is a contrarian entry point or a market that doubts long-term growth. Key themes include high insider ownership, steep valuation discounts, and ongoing cash burn with execution risk. Analysts' narratives sketch two views: a ~$2.79 fair value (undervalued) and a more optimistic DCF implying ~$7.04. Risks include funding delays, subsidy exposure, and persistent losses. For investors seeking growth at a discount, PLUG presents a cautious, data-driven setup rather than a clear storm-proof thesis.

Plug Power (PLUG) Valuation Revisited After Recent Volatility and Mixed Share Performance

December 9, 2025, 1:54 PM EST. Plug Power (PLUG) has traded with notable volatility, not driven by headlines but shifting risk sentiment. At around $2.16, recent action includes an 18.5% 1-month decline after a 90-day rebound, with a still negative 3-year TSR. The setup hints at improving sentiment from a very low base but remains fragile. Analysts split: a popular narrative prices fair value near $2.79 (upside if revenue grows ~22% annually and profitability arrives), while a DCF-based view points to about $7.04 if cash flows materialize. Risks include persistent cash burn, subsidy dependence, funding stumbles, project delays, and execution risk. The question for investors: contrarian entry at a discount, or a market that still doubts long-term growth.
