India stocks eye Q3 earnings, inflation data; global cues to steer sentiment

January 11, 2026, 1:11 PM EST. India's equity market faces an eventful week as the December quarter earnings season opens, with results from TCS, Infosys and other heavyweights in IT, banking and energy expected to guide near-term directions. Domestic data on CPI and WPI inflation will be watched alongside global macro cues. Investors will also track the US Supreme Court ruling on Trump-era tariffs and ongoing geopolitical tensions, which could drive sentiment. Movements in currency and crude oil prices remain key variables for foreign flows and inflation expectations. Analysts note the week could shape sectoral moves as management commentary and guidance from leaders like TCS, Infosys, HCL Tech, Jio Financial Services, Reliance and Tech Mahindra inform outlooks. Last week's losses linger as tariff threats weigh on sentiment and outflows.

Alibaba: Mixed analyst views as fair value trimmed; cloud and Qwen AI shape outlook

January 11, 2026, 1:02 PM EST. Alibaba Group Holding's fair value slipped to US$195.12 from US$198.04, with the discount rate up to 9.38%, signaling mixed Street research after results, cloud trends and capex plans.

Citi raises its target to US$225 and keeps a Buy; BofA remains Buy at US$188; Mizuho lifts to US$195 with an Outperform view. Freedom Capital moves to Hold on payback timing concerns. Alibaba also overhauls its flagship mobile app into Qwen, an AI-driven shopping assistant; early downloads exceed 10 million, positioning Qwen as an entry point into Taobao and related platforms.

Azimut Holding appears undervalued after five-year rally, Excess Returns model shows ~19% discount

January 11, 2026, 1:01 PM EST. Azimut Holding trades at €36.63, after a five-year climb that has left the stock up roughly 165% and set expectations for higher fee-based earnings. Using an Excess Returns framework, the intrinsic value comes in around €45.32 per share, implying a discount of about 19% to the current price and an undervalued signal. The model starts from a book value of €13.44 and a stable BV of €17.48, projecting a stable EPS of €5.20 and an excess return of €2.87 per share after a €2.33 cost of equity. Discounting these excess returns yields the €45.32 fair value. Valuation is sensitive to fund flows, assets under management trends, and broader market sentiment in Italy's asset-and-wealth sector.

Analysts Narrow Range for Standard Chartered as Fair Value Nudges to £16.68

January 11, 2026, 1:00 PM EST. Analysts have nudged Standard Chartered's fair value to £16.68 a share from £16.66, with price targets clustered in the mid-to-high £16s. The moves are incremental, signaling modest confidence in execution while keeping upside limited. Citi and JPMorgan lift targets; Citi's Andrew Coombs remains Neutral, while JPMorgan's Kian Abouhossein stays Overweight with a £16.90 target. The targets range roughly from £16.75 to £17.75, implying cautious optimism on delivery and growth but little margin for error. The stock trades in a tight band on the LSE (STAN), underscoring a careful reassessment rather than a fundamental shift. Investors should watch for further revisions and how they affect watchlists.

Shimadzu (TSE:7701) valuation check after recent share-price momentum

January 11, 2026, 12:59 PM EST. Shimadzu (TSE:7701) trades at ¥4,305 with a 7-day return of 3.3%, a 90-day gain of 10.9%, and a 3-year total shareholder return of 21.1%. Revenue stands at ¥544,142m and net income at ¥56,090m. The stock's P/E of 22.2x sits above the JP Electronic industry average (about 15x) and peers, suggesting a premium. Our DCF fair value estimate is ¥3,788.14 per share, implying the shares are overvalued at current levels. A valuation gap remains between market price and intrinsic value. Investors should consider downside risk from cyclical demand in tech and medical equipment while watching for growth catalysts.

Saia SAIA Valuation After Earnings Beat: Fair Value $326.81 Signals Overvaluation

January 11, 2026, 12:58 PM EST. Saia SAIA posted a quarterly beat on revenue and profits, aided by tight cost control. The results revived Wall Street attention. The stock shows a 90-day momentum gain of 23.76% and a 7-day rise of 8.84%, even as a 1-year loss of 18.57% contrasts with 3-year and 5-year gains of 51.58% and 88.86%. At about $366.96, the shares sit above the average analyst target near $347, implying limited upside in some models. The fair value sits around $326.81, signaling an overvaluation versus today's price. Expansion and densification of Saia's network could lift cost efficiencies and volumes, supporting growth and margins toward scale, but softer near-term shipments and higher operating costs pose downside risk if persistent. The narrative links price to a growth path and the required valuation multiple.

Arcos Dorados Valuation Mixed After Q3; EPS Beat, SSS Miss

January 11, 2026, 12:57 PM EST. Arcos Dorados Holdings reported a mixed Q3: revenue rose year over year, but results missed consensus on revenue, while EPS beat estimates and SSS fell short. The stock has shown momentum, with a 90-day return of 13.71% and a 1-year total shareholder return of 8.23%. Over longer horizons, 3-year TSR is negative (-2.22%), while 5-year TSR stands at 69.90%. The shares closed at $7.88, trading below the average analyst price target. Narrative-driven valuation argues the stock is undervalued at a fair value of $9.50, supported by continued digital adoption and Experience of the Future restaurant modernization. A SWSDCF model yields a more cautious $7.06, implying a tighter margin of safety. Key risks: Brazil consumer momentum, beef costs, and currency headwinds.

Agnico Eagle Mines rides 2025 gold-silver rally as bullion prices surge

January 11, 2026, 12:56 PM EST. Investors turned to precious metals, helping Agnico Eagle Mines-the world's second-largest gold producer-benefit from higher gold and silver prices in 2025. Gold rose about 66% in 2025, while silver jumped about 144%. The U.S. Geological Survey added silver to its list of critical minerals in November 2025, highlighting its strategic importance. Agnico Eagle operates assets worldwide-from Canada to Australia, Mexico and Finland-though the bulk of its operations sit in two Canadian regions. In the Motley Fool's Voyager Portfolio, Agnico Eagle was named the fourth stock, a bet that the rally could endure beyond a one-year spike. The piece asks whether the surge signals a lasting market shift or a temporary cycle, and argues the company is well positioned to benefit if the trend persists.

Your First Canadian Stocks: Start Strong in January

January 11, 2026, 12:43 PM EST. January offers a fresh start for Canadian stock newcomers who focus on patience and discipline. The takeaway: set aside an emergency fund of three to six months, and invest with a three-to-five-year horizon to weather swings. Begin with defensive stocks and dividend-paying companies, which provide income and potential compounding through reinvestment. Pembina Pipeline (TSX:PPL) is cited as a textbook example: a long-term, contract-backed energy infrastructure business with relatively stable cash flow and a current dividend yield near 5.6%. The stock sits around $50.87 and has fallen about 12% from its 52-week high. Analysts see roughly a 13% discount to consensus targets, implying about 15% near-term upside. Avoid chasing recent performance; instead, build a durable, long-term plan.

MongoDB valuation flags: stock pricing embeds strong growth expectations

January 11, 2026, 12:42 PM EST. MongoDB's shares closed at US$408.12, after a 2.1% weekly gain, with a 2.6% monthly dip and year-to-date, 66.4% over one year, 106.6% over three years, and 13.0% over five years. Investors are weighing whether the price already prices in strong future growth. In our checks, MongoDB scores 0/6 for undervaluation. A Discounted Cash Flow model points to an intrinsic value of roughly US$238.36 per share, implying the stock is about 71.2% overvalued on this basis. The firm trades at a P/S of 14.34x, well above the IT industry average of 2.34x. LTM free cash flow runs about US$360.1 million; projections suggest about US$1,044.6 million by 2030 under a two-stage model. The price appears to embed strong growth bets and higher risk.

Is SLB Now an Opportunity After Recent Gains? Valuation Signals

January 11, 2026, 12:41 PM EST. SLB closed at $45.20, posting 12.4% returns last week, 14.6% last month, and 12.4% year to date. The stock sits in the energy-services spotlight as investors weigh sector momentum and oilfield activity. Our valuation model shows an intrinsic value of $90.81 per share, implying a 50.2% discount to the estimate from a two-stage Discounted Cash Flow (DCF). The stock carries a 5/6 value score. TTM Free Cash Flow runs near $3.27b; projections to 2030 place FCF around $6.20b, underpinning the valuation. In short, SLB appears undervalued on cash flow grounds, but gains hinge on oilfield activity and broader energy spending trends. Consider tracking SLB in a watchlist as market sentiment shifts.

Eastern Metals surges 210% on Raptor deal; Chester copper project ramps up as copper rally supports micro-cap

January 11, 2026, 12:40 PM EST. Eastern Metals (ASX: EMS) surged 210% on Friday after completing its acquisition of Raptor Resources, vaulting the stock from about 1 cent to 3.1 cents and turning the Australian explorer into a Canadian-focused copper play. The deal positions the company around its flagship Chester copper project in New Brunswick, which holds a JORC-compliant resource of 6.68 million tonnes at 1.09% copper. The project sits in the Bathurst Mining Camp, a district with 45 known VMS deposits and established infrastructure, reducing exploration risk versus greenfield sites. The Turgeon project adds upside, with drilling slated imminently. Copper prices languished above record highs near US$13,000/t, underpinning the rationale. Demand from AI data centers and EVs, plus scarce new supply, support a favorable backdrop. EMS raised A$5 million to fund about two years of exploration, providing near-term catalysts.

Canadian ETFs offer alternatives as TSX nears all-time highs

January 11, 2026, 12:25 PM EST. Toronto's TSX Composite sits near record highs as banks, energy and materials lift the market. For investors wary of buying at the top, ETFs provide diversification beyond market-cap weights. BMO's two Canadian equity ETFs illustrate different paths. The actively managed BMO Low Volatility Canadian Equity ETF (ZLB) screens for stocks with lower beta and tilts toward financials plus steadier consumer staples and utilities. It yields about 1.93% after an expense ratio of 0.39% and has roughly $5.7 billion in assets, with a 10-year annualized total return around 11.33% (dividends reinvested). The passive BMO MSCI Canada Value Index ETF (ZVC) tracks the MSCI Canada Enhanced Value Cap Index, selecting about 50 stocks based on price-to-book, forward P/E and enterprise value to cash flow, adding a more selective tilt toward financials, materials and energy.

Dave & Buster's fair value trimmed as near-term execution takes center stage (PLAY)

January 11, 2026, 12:24 PM EST. Dave & Buster's Entertainment's fair value estimate was trimmed to US$25.75 from US$26.50, with the discount rate unchanged at 12.5%. The tweak signals a more conservative near-term view as softer same-store sales and traffic compete with leadership changes and new initiatives. On the bullish side, Freedom Capital highlights leadership changes and near-term initiatives that could lift results if execution and investor communications improve; its Hold rating and US$16 target remain cautious given the softness. On the bearish side, the firm cites continued soft demand as a key overhang until traction from the initiatives shows in the numbers. The company also tied a Chain collaboration on the Claw Purse with an expanded Human Crane attraction to 112 locations. Revenue growth nudged to about 5.09%.

Bloom Energy powers AI data centers, fueling a sharp stock rally amid AI-bubble talk

January 11, 2026, 12:10 PM EST. Bloom Energy, the San Ramon-based provider of on-site solid oxide fuel cell systems, has become a focal point as AI data centers fuel a stock rally. After debuting in 2018 at $15 per share, the company languished for years before a roughly 400% gain over the past 12 months. Investors cite Bloom's role supplying energy, storage equipment and back-up power to data-center operators like Google and Walmart. The stock now trades at a premium multiple, around 125x forward earnings, after a late-2024 surge on a big deal with American Electric Power (AEP). Analysts say the near-term driver remains AI demand and utility partnerships, even as broader AI-stock bubbles fuel debate about valuation and capex needs for data-center expansion.

NSE CEO visits Tirumala as SEBI signals IPO approval this month

January 11, 2026, 12:09 PM EST. National Stock Exchange chief Ashishkumar Chauhan and his family visited the Tirumala temple on Saturday to seek the blessings of Lord Venkateswara. Chauhan cited a statement by SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) chairman that the NSE-the National Stock Exchange-expects to receive approval to proceed with its IPO (initial public offering) within the current month. The remarks keep investors focused on the timing of what would be a major market milestone, even as the visit adds a ceremonial backdrop to regulatory progress.

Gilead Sciences priced for upside after 38.5% one-year gain, DCF signals undervaluation

January 11, 2026, 11:55 AM EST. GILD traded near $121.10, up 0.6% in 30 days and 38.5% over the past year. The stock's longer-term returns-56.0% over three years and 131.7% over five-frame questions about risk and upside as investors reassess pipelines, approvals and competitive pressures in biopharma. A valuation check assigns Gilead Sciences a 5 out of 6 score, then three methods show divergent views. A two-stage free cash flow to equity model yields an intrinsic value around $274.50 per share, implying the stock is about 55.9% undervalued vs $121.10. The P/E stands at 18.53x, modest versus some biotech peers, underscoring how growth expectations and risk shape multiples. Overall, the model suggests meaningful upside from current levels.

Kodiak Sciences (KOD) faces mixed signals after 233% surge; DCF flags undervaluation while P/B shows overvaluation

January 11, 2026, 11:54 AM EST. Kodiak Sciences (KOD) trades around $27.72 after a 233% 12-month surge, with swings tied to pipeline expectations. A two-stage discounted cash flow analysis (DCF; it estimates the present value of future cash flows) yields an intrinsic value of $32.63 per share – roughly 15% above the current price – suggesting the stock is undervalued on this basis. By contrast, price-based metrics such as the P/B (price-to-book) ratio show the stock trading at about 72.5x book value, well above the biotech industry average of 2.7x and peers around 3.5x. The analysis cites a loss in the latest twelve months (~$127.3 million) and forecasts negative FCF for several years before turning positive by 2030. Investors should weigh growth hopes against execution risk and a high hurdle to profitability.

Honda Motor (TSE:7267) still undervalued on DCF despite electrification pressures

January 11, 2026, 11:53 AM EST. Honda Motor stock trades at ¥1,572 after a week rise of 2.3%, with mixed momentum over longer horizons. The article weighs whether value still exists as electrification reshapes the global auto industry. Honda earns a 5 of 6 on Simply Wall St's valuation checklist, signaling reasonable balance between risk and growth. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model using a 2-stage FCFE approach shows a loss of ¥154.3b in the latest twelve months but projects FCF of ¥889.1b in the year to March 2030, yielding an intrinsic value around ¥2,166 per share, or about 27.4% undervalued vs the current price. The stock trades at a P/E of ~9.37x, below the Auto industry average (~18.25x) and peers (~10.65x), supporting an undervalued view, though near-term risks around electrification remain.

Opendoor Rebound Hopes Rise as Trump Mortgage-Bond News Spurs Housing Stocks

January 11, 2026, 11:37 AM EST. Opendoor Technologies (OPEN) has drawn renewed attention after a Trump plan to repurchase about $200 billion in mortgage securities spurred buying in housing stocks. The late-2023 meme-stock surge for Opendoor has cooled among retail investors, but the latest government-bond news could rekindle interest. The plan would have Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy the securities to push down rates, a move traders linked to housing equities welcomed with a roughly 5% intraday gain. Opendoor traded near $7.29, with a $7.0B market cap and a 52-week range of $0.51-$10.87. Some see potential for further sentiment-driven moves; others warn gains may diverge from fundamentals. Existing holders may ride the near term; new buyers should tread carefully, given the stock's volatility and valuation gaps.

Ford stock in focus after 2025 rally: can it be a millionaire-maker?

January 11, 2026, 11:22 AM EST. Ford Motor (ticker F) posted a 42% total return in 2025, but the stock remains a low-growth, cash-generating name. In Q3 2025, Ford reported automotive revenue of $47.2 billion, up from $35.8 billion in Q3 2015, a compound annual growth rate of about 2.8%. The company generated $2.9 billion in net income on $141.4 billion in revenue for the first nine months of 2025, and $5.7 billion in adjusted free cash flow, underscoring tight margins typical of mass-market automakers. The shares trade around $14.20, with a dividend yield near 4.2% and a roughly $57 billion market cap. Ford faces a cyclical demand backdrop and limited scope for top-line expansion; some investors look for pricing power as a potential catalyst, but that path is uncertain.

Inflation to surprise to the downside in 2026 as Wall Street bets on rate cuts, tax incentives, and stock gains

January 11, 2026, 11:21 AM EST. Investors are wagering that 2026 will bring a juiced economy and higher stock prices as the Fed cuts rates, tax incentives bite, and inflation undershoots expectations. Markets await the CPI, seen near a 2.7% rise, amid cheaper oil and easing shelter costs. Longview Economics' Chris Watling says inflation will surprise to the downside in 2026. A softer labor market could justify rate cuts, potentially shifting the Fed to a more dovish stance if Trump's nominee replaces Powell. Lower yields would support capex and consumption as housing improves. The OBBB Act's depreciation breaks accelerate spend, a point from Nomura's Charlie McElligott. Goldman Sachs flags easing rents and fading tariffs toward the 2% PCE target; it sees S&P 500 EPS up about 12% in 2026 and 10% in 2027.

Magnificent 7 show signs of cracking as growth slows and AI spending cools

January 11, 2026, 10:51 AM EST. The Magnificent 7 tech stocks underperformed the S&P 500 for the first time since 2022 rate hikes, as profit growth slows and AI spending questions weigh on expectations. In 2025 the Magnificent 7 index rose 25%, led by Alphabet and Nvidia, while the S&P 500 gained 16%. Year-to-date, the group is up about 0.5% versus 1.8% for the broader index. Analysts warn stock-picking within the roster is essential as broad gains rely on a few names. Bloomberg data show 2026 earnings for the group rising about 18%, the slowest since 2022 and near the 13% pace for other S&P 500 members. Valuations remain more subdued than earlier in the decade, with the Magnificent 7 trading around 29x forward earnings versus about 22x for the index.

AMETEK (AME) Still Looks Undervalued After Momentum, Yet DCF Gives Mixed Signals

January 11, 2026, 10:50 AM EST. AMETEK Inc. (AME) shares hover around $210.64 as investors weigh momentum against fundamentals. In the last 90 days, the stock gained 15.58%, with a 1-year total return of 20.38%. The price sits roughly 8% below consensus targets, while an intrinsic value estimate in the narrative suggests about 20% upside. A closing price near $210.64 versus a narrative fair value of $223.18 frames the setup around potential margin expansion and earnings trajectories. The EMG (Electromechanical Group) and Automation segments are inflecting upward; destocking is complete, and record orders point to stronger organic growth and core EBITDA growth. Risks from weakness in semiconductors and research, and from acquisitions like FARO or Paragon, could challenge the story. A separate DCF fair value of about $175.22 implies overvaluation.

Accent Group Valuation Under Review After Price Weakness and Brand Expansion Plans (ASX:AX1)

January 11, 2026, 10:49 AM EST. Accent Group trades at A$0.95, down from earlier levels, with a mixed signal from a year-to-date and 12-month performance. A recent analyst narrative puts fair value around A$1.21, implying a valuation gap and potential undervaluation if execution holds. The report notes an intrinsic discount and a gap to price targets, driven by plans for at least 30 new stores in FY26, plus a Sports Direct rollout and expansion of Stylerunner and Hoka banners. The upside rests on steady revenue growth, improving margins, and a higher future earnings multiple, using a ~10% discount rate to 2028 forecasts. Risks include store integration, discounting pressure, and cost inflation that could erode the upside. Investors should weigh the valuation gap, growth runway, and integration risk.

Eli Lilly Seen as Top Stock for 2026 as Weight-Management Momentum Persists

January 11, 2026, 10:38 AM EST. Momentum rides on tirzepatide, marketed as Mounjaro for diabetes and Zepbound for obesity. Through nine months of 2025, tirzepatide revenue reached about $24.8 billion, surging past Keytruda as the world's top-selling medicine. Some analysts foresee up to $62 billion in sales by 2030. Competition in weight management is heating up from Novo Nordisk and peers like Amgen and Pfizer; candidates such as orforglipron and retatrutide bolster Lilly's pipeline. The stock trades near $1,063 and at roughly 33x forward earnings versus a sector average near 18x. Regulatory timing and milestones could sustain the momentum, keeping Eli Lilly well-placed in 2026.

Market warning: Seven giants buoy stocks as broader market slows

January 11, 2026, 10:37 AM EST. Money expert Jaspreet Singh warns the economy looks weaker than headlines suggest. While equities hit record highs, gains are concentrated in a few names, he says. The broader market's pace slows as inflation bites and the job market cools, even as the Magnificent Seven – Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla – outpace the rest, posting about 14.9% earnings growth in Q3 2025. The other 493 constituents of the S&P 500 grew around 6.7%. Singh notes that the seven companies account for roughly one-third of the index, creating risk if any stumble. J.P. Morgan expects the Magnificent Seven to deliver about 20% EPS growth in 2026, versus the S&P 500's 13-15%. He cautions that inflation and anticipated rate cuts could inflate a bubble.

J.B. Hunt Upgrades Spotlight Intermodal Strength Amid Inflation Risk

January 11, 2026, 10:36 AM EST. Several research firms-Susquehanna, Benchmark, Goldman Sachs, Citi and BofA Securities-raised or affirmed positive views on J.B. Hunt Transport Services, spotlighting intermodal as a near-term earnings lever. Analysts cite better equipment utilization and fewer empty moves, even as inflation-driven costs and pricing pressure loom as margin risks. The cluster of upgrades underscores a potential shift in the investment narrative toward intermodal strength within the company's mix of intermodal, dedicated trucking and logistics. Projections point to roughly $14.0 billion in revenue and about $830 million in earnings by 2028, with fair-value estimates showing wide variance. Investors should weigh whether the tone reflects durable demand and efficiency gains or cyclical headwinds that could compress margins.

Perella Weinberg Partners Valuation Under Swing in Price

January 11, 2026, 10:35 AM EST. Perella Weinberg Partners (PWP) closed at $18.85 amid volatility. The one-day gain was 2.28%, after a 7.41% year-to-date rise and a 3-year total return of 92.14%. The 1-year total return has fallen about 14%, tempering momentum. At a trailing P/E of 26.8x, PWP trades above the US Capital Markets industry average of 25.6x and well above the peer average of 14.1x, signaling a premium on earnings. With a target price of $22.50, analysts see limited upside from current levels unless growth accelerates. The view notes whether this premium reflects PWP's advisory mix and growth prospects or signs of slower deal activity. The article labels the P/E (26.8x) as OVERVALUED. Investors are urged to test assumptions and compare with other names on their watchlists.

Mattel Valuation After Goldman Downgrade: DCF Signals Large Gap

January 11, 2026, 10:34 AM EST. Goldman Sachs cut Mattel from Buy to Neutral, citing muted revenue growth, weaker cash profitability and tariff/retailer sentiment headwinds. The move has investors reassessing recent gains: 7-day return of 7.2%, 90-day 24.2%, and 1-year total shareholder return of 15.0%. Mattel trades at US$21.48, versus an average target of US$24.00. The P/E multiple of 15.4x sits below a fair P/E of 15.8x and well under global leisure peers at 22.6x and 32.9x. A DCF view shows a far larger gap: fair value around US$45.56 vs US$21.48 today. Risks include muted growth, weaker cash generation and tariff pressure; investors must weigh whether the gap reflects long-term cash flow potential or near-term earnings softness.

Payout prompts scrutiny as Maduro bet tests prediction markets

January 11, 2026, 10:24 AM EST. Prediction markets let people wager on almost anything, from sports outcomes to geopolitics. The latest case centers on former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and a $400,000 payout after his capture. Bets on Polymarket financed event contracts that trade about Yes/No outcomes with prices ranging from $0 to $1, signaling the market's view of a given event's likelihood (0%-100%). Most bids on this Maduro wager came in hours before President Trump announced the surprise raid that ended Maduro's tenure, sparking questions about possible insider trading given timing and the trader's limited activity. Polymarket did not respond to comment requests. Regulators in the U.S. have yet to assign a uniform framework for such markets, leaving transparency and risk questions as this niche grows.

NYSE MSCI options listing could expand ICE's derivatives footprint, but near-term catalysts stay modest

January 11, 2026, 10:23 AM EST. NYSE, part of ICE (Intercontinental Exchange), said NYSE Arca and NYSE American will list U.S. options on benchmark MSCI indexes-pending regulatory approval. The move extends ICE's long-running derivatives ties with MSCI and builds on ICE's status as the leading venue for MSCI futures and large daily notional volumes. For investors, the change could broaden ICE's equity derivatives footprint without a material near-term shift in strategy, as management continues to integrate past acquisitions and manage exposure to energy, commodities, and mortgage-related revenues. The announcement follows ICE's report of record 2025 volumes in futures and options, underscoring growth but increasing demands on technology, data centers, and cost discipline. Analysts vary on fair value, signaling uncertainty about how volumes and tech spend shape the path to 2028 targets.

Arkema valuation: fair value €65.06 vs €53.50 share price

January 11, 2026, 10:22 AM EST. Arkema ENXTPA:AKE has risen 2.4% over the week and 0.8% over the month, closing at €53.50. Longer-term returns remain weak: about -19% over the past year and roughly -33% for the last 3 months and the last 5 years. A valuation model yields a fair value of €65.06, a 64% intrinsic discount to the price and an 18% gap to targets. Analysts' consensus target sits around €77.06, with a high of €95 and a low of €56. The stock carries a P/E of 31.8x versus a European chemicals group median of 17.8x and a fair multiple around 23.2x. The outlook hinges on volumes from construction and automotive and on low-cost competition. The full narrative lays out the stepwise assumptions behind €65.06 fair value.

NBT Bancorp valuation signals imply undervaluation despite mixed metrics

January 11, 2026, 10:21 AM EST. NBT Bancorp (NBTB) sits around $42.88, showing mixed valuation signals. The stock is up 3.1% in the last week, down 2.6% in the past month, up 3.1% YTD, and up 44.2% over five years. The latest scoring places its valuation at 2/6, indicating it screens as UNDERVALUED on two checks. The Excess Returns model uses a book value of $35.33, a projected $40.16, stable EPS of $4.52, and an average ROE of 11.27% with a cost of equity of $2.79, yielding an intrinsic value of $86.99 per share. At current prices, that implies a roughly 50.7% discount. The piece also notes standard P/E considerations and other metrics in a broader company report.

Institutional ownership at 73% drives SOLV; Solventum stock up 9% last week

January 11, 2026, 10:20 AM EST. Solventum Corporation's ownership is dominated by institutions, which control about 73% of SOLV. Eight investors hold roughly 52% of SOLV, with 3M Company as the largest single holder at 15%, Vanguard Group at 9.9%, and Independent Franchise Partners at 7.4%. Last week, Solventum's shares rose about 9%, underscoring how institutional activity can move prices in the near term. The stock has posted a 1-year return of around 28%. Analysts weigh earnings history against ownership concentration, noting the risk of a synchronized exit. A few large holders can move the quote more than usual, especially in thinly traded periods.

iA Financial stock rises 14% on fundamentals; ROE in line with peers

January 11, 2026, 10:19 AM EST. iA Financial Corp. of Canada (TSE:IAG) has gained about 14% over the past three months, a move the company attributes to steadier fundamentals. The key metric highlighted is ROE, at 13% on trailing twelve months to September 2025, implying CA$1.1 billion in net profit against CA$8.3 billion of shareholder equity. The ROE is roughly in line with the sector average of 13%, helping explain moderate earnings growth of 9.5% over five years. Net income growth tracks the industry at about 9.4%. With a three-year median payout ratio of 43%, iA Financial retains about 57% of profits, funding reinvestment and potential earnings expansion. Investors will weigh whether today's price already reflects this growth outlook and the extent of retained earnings driving future earnings.

Lawmakers push anew on major crypto bill as Senate hearings loom

January 11, 2026, 10:04 AM EST. Two Senate committees will hold hearings on their portions of the so-called Clarity Act, a market-structure bill for digital assets. Lawmakers plan to merge the drafts into a single bill for a Senate floor vote, a step that stalled last year. The measure would clarify the roles of the SEC and CFTC, set token classifications, and install registration and compliance standards for exchanges, brokerages and other crypto firms, creating much-needed regulatory guardrails. Supporters say the framework could spur domestic crypto activity, attract firms back to the U.S., and boost blockchain adoption; critics warn of overreach and lingering ambiguity. This week's focus: three issues: stablecoins and their rewards, the treatment of DeFi platforms, and whether elected officials could profit from crypto ventures. Final language remains uncertain until drafting is finished.

UGI Valuation Indicates 32% Intrinsic Discount; RNG Growth and Regulation Support Outlook

January 11, 2026, 9:51 AM EST. UGI trades around $37.07 with an indicated intrinsic discount of about 32% to a fair value near $44. The 90-day price return is 16.76%, while a marginally negative year-to-date figure contrasts with a 1-year total return of 36.68%, signaling longer-term momentum. The analysis weighs whether the market has fully priced growth in RNG initiatives, bonus depreciation potential, and stronger regulatory incentives under measures like the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Those factors could lift long-term EBITDA and margins, supporting the valuation gap. Risks include Europe's softer LPG demand and potential regulatory or cost pressures that could compress margins. Readers are urged to stress-test assumptions, consult the Screener, and review the full narrative; the piece aims to provide fundamental context rather than personalized advice.

Lean hog futures slide; pork cutout dips as positioning turns net short; Harris agenda eyed

January 11, 2026, 9:50 AM EST. Lean hog futures fell Friday, down as much as 15 cents to 1.425. The national base hog price slipped $2.31 to $83.00 per cwt. The CME Lean Hog Index was 90.20 on Aug. 14, up two cents. Spec positioning in lean hog futures and options flipped back to a net short on Aug. 13, leaving the market at 2,269 contracts short. U.S. politics: Vice President Harris is set to unveil an economic agenda, including a potential grocery-price gouging ban. The USDA pork cutout value fell $1.20 to $98.67 per cwt; picnics and ribs rose, while the butt fell $3.84. Estimated FI hog slaughter this week at 2.512 million head, up from last week and 81,459 head larger than the same week last year.

Dividend run eyed for Royal Bank of Canada as ex-div date nears

January 11, 2026, 9:49 AM EST. Royal Bank of Canada (RY) prep for a potential Dividend Run highlighted by DividendChannel.com. The piece explains the ex-dividend date, the point at which buyers no longer qualify for the payout, typically triggering a price drop roughly equal to the dividend. It frames why some investors look for a pre-ex-dividend rally, arguing that an expected payout should support prices ahead of the date. It outlines varied strategies: buying before ex-dividend to capture the payout, or timing trades around the ex-date for capital gains. The piece cites different timelines, from days to weeks, and notes RBC's stated dividend around 1.099 or 1.132 per share as an example. The discussion illustrates how market dynamics interact with dividend policy and alert services.

CY2025: Mixed Indian Equities Amid Policy Support and Earnings Headwinds

January 11, 2026, 9:37 AM EST. CY2025 delivered a mixed year for Indian equities. Large-caps rose about 9%, mid-caps 4%, while small-caps fell around 9%. Autos, banks, and metals outperformed; IT lagged. The auto rally was helped by a large and unexpected GST cut. Financials benefited from attractive valuations, strong balance sheets, and stable credit quality. Domestic consumption revived on GST cuts, income-tax relief, and lower rates. Yet earnings growth remained muted at 6-8% for FY2025-26, with multiple downgrades. The rupee slid about 6% as the trade deficit widened, and FII outflows totaled $17.7 billion, as earnings momentum lagged peers. A potential turning point sits in a US-India tariff deal, which could spur FII inflows and a rupee rebound. Oil dynamics offer limited risk; with Venezuela output, prices near $60 cap gains. CY2026 hinges on a tariff accord, with financials driving most earnings growth; valuations remain a question.

FTAI Aviation faces valuation gap after 10x rally, DCF signals overvaluation

January 11, 2026, 9:35 AM EST. FTAI Aviation's stock sits near $245.73 after a 10x rally over 3 years, yet a valuation screen flags risk. The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model-which estimates value by projecting future cash flows and discounting them to today-puts an intrinsic value of about $164.20 per share. That implies the current price is about 49.7% above fair value. Simply Wall St's screen rates the stock 0/6 on valuation checks. The analysis presumes a turnaround from a trailing free cash flow loss of $1.45 billion and uses a two-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity forecast. With the company positioned as an aviation asset owner and service provider, the gap between market price and fundamentals frames investor caution and reflects questions about risk and upside.

Workday's Fundamentals Look Solid, But ROE Cautions Investors

January 11, 2026, 9:33 AM EST. Workday's stock has fallen around 12% in three months, yet core metrics look resilient. ROE, or return on equity, measures profit per dollar of shareholder equity. For Workday, trailing twelve months to October 2025 show ROE at 7.2% on US$642m net profit vs US$8.9b in shareholders' equity. The figure trails the industry average of about 14%, but Workday posted 58% earnings growth over five years, supported by a low payout ratio and efficient management. With industry earnings growth around 25%, the company exhibits stronger momentum than peers. The question remains whether the market has priced in this growth, as dividends are not paid and valuation remains a key factor. Overall, long-term fundamentals appear modestly favorable, though upside may hinge on improving profitability and multiple expansion.

Is It Time To Reassess Principal Financial Group After Five-Year Gains?

January 11, 2026, 9:23 AM EST. Principal Financial Group shares closed at US$90.29, with a 1.0% weekly gain, 0.4% for the month, and a 1.0% rise year to date. Over one year, the stock is up 22.9%; five years total return stands at 102.9%. Our valuation work rates PFG a 4/6, signaling it appears undervalued. The analysis uses the Excess Returns model, which compares projected profits to the required return on equity. For PFG, analysts' inputs yield a base book value of $52.90, stable earnings of $9.75 per share, an average ROE of 16.15%, and a cost of equity of $4.20. The model estimates an excess return of $5.55 per share and an intrinsic value of about $210.65. At $90.29, the stock trades 57.1% below that estimate. A note on jargon: intrinsic value (estimated true worth); excess returns are profits above cost of equity.

McKesson undervalued by ~42% under two-stage DCF, says Simply Wall St

January 11, 2026, 9:22 AM EST. McKesson Corp (NYSE: MCK) is estimated at a fair value of $1,399 per share under a two-stage DCF valuation, with the current price around $816. That implies about a 42% undervaluation versus the model's fair value. Analysts' target price of $939 sits roughly 33% below that fair value estimate. The model projects ten years of levered FCF to equity, from about $4.70 billion in 2026 to $8.70 billion in 2035, discounting them to present value and adding a terminal value via the Gordon Growth formula. The study notes the DCF is one metric among many and carries flaws. PVCF (present value of the cash flows) is cited near $49 billion, underscoring that the final number depends on growth assumptions. The takeaway: valuation should be read as a data point, not a guarantee.

AI stocks beat S&P 500 by 136% over five years, Motley Fool data show

January 11, 2026, 9:21 AM EST. New data from The Motley Fool shows AI stocks have outperformed the S&P 500 over five years. The firm's 2026 AI Investor Outlook Report says the top AI names delivered a 136% advantage versus the index. Unlike narrow outliers, a majority of the 10 AI-ready companies in Motley Fool's Moneyball database beat the market, with the group averaging 220% returns against the S&P's 84% gain. The analysis notes that longer horizons matter and that past outperformance does not guarantee future results. Still, Motley Fool surveys indicate confidence in AI's ability to generate durable returns, and the report argues the gains were broad, not driven by one or two winners.

Mitek Systems: Margin expansion, revenue growth and insider buying

January 11, 2026, 9:20 AM EST. MITK's earnings narrative shows profitability lifting as revenue climbs. Mitek Systems has grown EPS by roughly 32% per year over the past three years, helping the stock trade at a high multiple of trailing earnings. EBIT margins rose from 2.4% to 9.8% in the last 12 months, with revenue on an upward trajectory. The chart tracks both top- and bottom-line progress, underscoring improving operating leverage. Insiders have been net buyers, spending about US$775k on purchases over the last twelve months despite approximately US$369k in reported sales. The largest single acquisition was by CEO and Director Edward West, who paid around US$506k for shares at about US$9.21 each. Investors will weigh whether growth can sustain against the stock's current valuation.

Sugar prices slide as dollar strengthens, markets eye rebalancing flows

January 11, 2026, 9:18 AM EST. Sugar prices edged lower as a stronger dollar weighed on commodities. March NY sugar #11 (SBH26) fell 0.33% and March London ICE white sugar #5 (SWH26) slipped 0.28%. The DXY rose to a four-week high. Losses are limited by expectations of index-related buying: Citi projects about $1.2 billion of sugar-futures inflows as BCOM and S&P GSCI rebalance next week. Brazil's 2025/26 outlook remains bearish for prices. Conab raised 2025/26 sugar output to 45 MMT; Unica tallies Center-South production up 1.1% y/y to 39.904 MMT, with the cane-crush ratio rising. The ISO still forecasts a 2025-26 sugar surplus of about 1.6 MMT. India's ISMA showed a jump in production to 11.90 MMT in 2025-26, and lifted its full-season target to 31 MMT, with exports potentially expanding as ethanol use slips.

60/40 returns to relevance as bonds offer upside in a shifting rate cycle

January 11, 2026, 9:03 AM EST. The classic 60/40 portfolio fell out of favor after years of near-zero rates and a 2022 selloff that dented its appeal. In 2025, the AGG ETF delivered a total return of 7.2%, reigniting faith that the fixed-income portion can contribute both defense and offense. Philip Blancato, chief market strategist at Osaic, says the old, boring 60/40 looks "sexy again" as rates begin to fall. Year-to-date, the S&P 500 is up 1.8% while AGG has risen 0.3%. The 2026 outlook favors bonds in a potential easing cycle, with longer-duration bets and a 50/50 tilt between credit and Treasurys cited. Some investors seek alternatives such as private credit or commodities like gold. Retail traders already leaned into metals; the debate now weighs nuance within the 40%.

HealthEquity HQY posts 3-year gains lagging market, adds US$263 million to market cap in a week

January 11, 2026, 9:02 AM EST. HealthEquity Inc. (HQY, NASDAQ) has risen 57% over three years, but still trails the broader market. It is down 6.2% in the last year, while the market rose about 21%. The stock added roughly US$263 million to its market cap in the past week and gained 3.4% in that stretch. The company became profitable within the last three years, with EPS (earnings per share) growth at times supporting the price, though the relation between earnings and price remains uneven. For longer-term holders, returns over five years would approximate 4% annually. Investors should weigh these signals against risks and the evolving health-finance landscape. This article is a general snapshot and not investment advice.

Teva stock buoyed by high institutional ownership; shares up 3.4% in a week

January 11, 2026, 8:54 AM EST.Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE: TEVA) draws attention from investors for high institutional ownership. Institutions hold about 71% of the shares, with Phoenix Investments & Finances Ltd as the largest holder at 5.3%, followed by about 5.0% and 3.9% holders. The top 25 shareholders together own less than half, indicating a broad base of smaller investors. The stock has risen 3.4% over the past week and has added roughly $1.2 billion to Teva's market cap. Over the past year, shareholders have seen a 53% return. While heavy institutional ownership can influence governance, it can also pose a crowding risk if funds move in unison. Analysts cover Teva; investors should weigh forecasts against company fundamentals.

SharkNinja valuation vs price momentum: DCF signals undervaluation despite high P/E

January 11, 2026, 8:53 AM EST. SharkNinja traded at $120.49, with momentum evident as it rose about 5.8% last week, 6.9% in the last month and 11.5% over the past year. The stock carries a valuation score of 2/6, signaling cautious screens. A DCF (discounted cash flow) model using a two-stage free cash flow to equity approach yields an intrinsic value of about $162.37 per share, implying the shares are roughly 25.8% undervalued versus the current price. Trailing free cash flow stands near $373.0 million, with projections around $1,203 million in 2029. The stock trades at a P/E of 29.58x, above the Consumer Durables industry average of 11.73x and peer group average of 25.10x, suggesting the market prices in higher growth or lower risk. Investors may watch for evolving momentum signals on watchlists.

SharpLink Gaming (SBET) DCF suggests 26% undervaluation amid sports betting growth

January 11, 2026, 8:52 AM EST.SharpLink Gaming's shares closed at $10.02, up 3.4% for the week but down 4.7% over 30 days. The stock has risen 39.0% in the last year and fallen 77.7% over three years as investors weigh its place in the online gaming and sports betting space amid regulatory shifts. The company holds a 4/6 value score. A two-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE) DCF model yields an intrinsic value of about $13.61 per share, suggesting the stock is undervalued by about 26.4% versus the current price. Trailing FCFE posted a $9.69 million outflow; projected FCFE reach $22.64 million in 2026, $88.83 million in 2029, and $213.71 million in 2035. A price-to-book check offers a cross-check in asset-heavy contexts.

Amalgamated Financial valuation under scrutiny after 25% three-month rally

January 11, 2026, 8:51 AM EST. Amalgamated Financial (AMAL) rose about 25% in three months, trading near $33.55. The stock shows a 1-year return of 5.3% and a 5-year return of 136%. With an analyst target near $34.50, the narrative flags an implied intrinsic discount of about 68% and a fair value of roughly $33, leaving a tight balance around the current price. Analysts' consensus target is $33.00; ranges run from $27 to $39. A P/E (price-earnings) multiple of 9.8x sits below peers at about 12.6x, suggesting value, though bets depend on future earnings and margins. Key risks: credit pressure in solar and CRE lending, and rising funding costs as noninterest-bearing deposits shrink. Read the full narrative to understand the assumptions behind these numbers.

Atmus Filtration near fair value as growth outlook and volatility loom

January 11, 2026, 8:50 AM EST. Atmus Filtration Technologies (NYSE: ATMU) has captured attention after a run higher that nudged the stock near its 52-week high. A valuation model puts ATMU roughly fair at about 14.93% above its intrinsic value, implying little room for upside unless fundamentals surprise. The model's true value is around $47.64, suggesting the current price could sit at or above fair value. The stock's high beta signals elevated volatility, opening a potential for downside if sentiment shifts. Yet analysts see earnings and revenue growth around 23% in the next couple of years, with stronger cash flow supporting a higher valuation. Investors should weigh whether the market has fully priced the positive outlook and consider what a price drop below intrinsic value would mean for risk tolerance.

Texas Roadhouse valuation assessed as shares hover near $183; fair value around $191

January 11, 2026, 8:49 AM EST. Texas Roadhouse (TXRH) sits near $183 after a solid run. A one-day gain of 1.43% and a 30-day return of 8.86% accompany a 5-year total shareholder return of 147.43%, signaling long-term momentum. The stock's last close of $183.15 vs a narrative fair value of $191.28 implies an intrinsic discount of about 17% and an undervalued stance on a market-wide premium. To justify a higher target, the stock would need about a 27.7x PE ratio on 2028 earnings, up from 25.5x today, above the US Hospitality industry average of 23.9x. The bullish case rests on revenue growth, firmer margins, and an aggressive earnings ramp, but risks include higher beef and wage costs and slower digital adoption at core stores.

Piper Sandler downgrade tempers BorgWarner's EV transition ahead of Feb. 11 webcast

January 11, 2026, 8:48 AM EST. An upcoming BorgWarner webcast on February 11, 2026 will update investors on 2025 fourth-quarter and full-year results and electrification progress. A Piper Sandler downgrade highlighted execution risk in BorgWarner's shift to an EV-focused portfolio, signaling caution around near-term profitability in the Battery and Charging Systems (BCS) segment. The note suggests the core investment thesis hinges on stabilizing BCS and proving that electrified wins can offset headwinds in legacy products, with management guidance and margins watched closely. The event will also cover capital deployment, including dividends and share repurchases. Analysts' fair value estimates vary widely, underscoring uncertainty about BorgWarner's long-term path. Investors will assess how clearly the company ties its EV plans to guidance and whether the downgrade materially changes the near-term narrative.

EVERTEC Undervalued by Valuation Framework Despite Price Rebound

January 11, 2026, 8:47 AM EST. EVERTEC trades around $30.17, up 5.2% in the last week but still down on longer horizons. A valuation framework rates the stock 5 of 6 for undervaluation. In the Excess Returns analysis, with a book value of $10.37 a share and a stable EPS of $3.75, ROE runs about 24.4% and the cost of equity $1.30. The model yields excess returns of $2.45 per share and an intrinsic value near $62.02, implying the shares are about 51.4% undervalued. A second approach, P/E at 13.21x, sits below the Diversified Financial industry average around 14.99x, suggesting some valuation cushion relative to peers. The framework indicates price moves may not fully reflect the stock's underlying worth.

Exclusive: Danny Moses bets gold could double as central banks buy and ETFs drive demand

January 11, 2026, 8:46 AM EST. Danny Moses, the Big Short veteran, tells Benzinga that gold prices will double from current levels over the next few years. He says 2025 already marked a shift, with gold and silver outperforming most assets and taking on leadership status rather than mere hedge roles. He points to macro forces, not temporary moves. On silver, he cites hard math: demand exceeds supply as solar, EVs, and AI data centers pull metal into industrial use. On gold, central banks have been big buyers, hedging incompetencies, a trend he sees continuing in 2026, aided by growing ETF demand and ongoing market dislocations. Moses cautions against expecting a straight-line rally, acknowledging possible pullbacks and volatility, but argues long-term exposure via ETFs, mining stocks, or physical gold remains intact.

Bitcoin and Ethereum: Long-hold bets for decades

January 11, 2026, 8:35 AM EST. Bitcoin and Ethereum have posted standout results over the past decade. The piece notes Bitcoin up about 24,700% and Ethereum about 21,900% since January 2016, arguing these two are the clearest long-haul crypto bets. It stresses that future performance is not guaranteed, but many proponents point to Bitcoin's four-year cycle and its potential as a digital-gold safe haven. The article cites targets such as near-term upside, with some enthusiasts forecasting $1 million per Bitcoin by 2030 and even higher over two decades. It highlights Bitcoin's low correlation with other assets and its use as a hedge during macro shocks. Ethereum, traditionally second to Bitcoin, is framed as a longer-term, more utilitarian blockchain platform, with outsized gains in some years and a broader use case.

Retail investors hold 48% of Strategy Inc; institutions own 46% as top holders lack a majority

January 11, 2026, 8:34 AM EST. Retail investors hold 48% of Strategy Inc (NASDAQ:MSTR), ahead of institutions with 46%. The top 25 shareholders own about 42% of the company, leaving no single holder with a majority stake. Capital Research and Management Company is the largest investor at 6.8%, while Michael Saylor and The Vanguard Group each hold 6.6%. Saylor is also a top executive. The ownership mix suggests a dispersed register, with no concentrated stake among hedge funds. Analysts cover Strategy, offering views on its outlook. Be aware that a crowded-trade risk can emerge when several institutions share similar stakes, and growth history matters for governance and momentum.

Marriott International valuation under scrutiny after rally; fair value at $294.48 vs $328.18 share price

January 11, 2026, 8:33 AM EST. Marriott International (MAR) has drawn investor attention after a 9.9% one-month move and 24.7% over three months, with the stock closing around $328.18. The analysis shows a valuation gap: a narrative fair value of $294.48 implies the shares are overvalued at current prices, even as the company pursues a record pipeline and international expansion. Net rooms growth sits near 5%, with a pipeline exceeding 590,000 rooms, about 40% under construction, underscoring demand in APAC and EMEA and potential for multi-year RevPAR gains. The view hinges on sustained RevPAR strength and disciplined technology spending; slower demand or heavier tech costs could compress margins. The report notes above-consensus near-term momentum but a valuation that already prices in elevated growth, inviting investors to test their assumptions with bespoke scenarios.

JPMorgan insiders sold heavily, led by Dimon's $234 million stake sale

January 11, 2026, 8:32 AM EST. JPMorgan Chase insiders sold significantly over the past year, with no purchases recorded. The largest single sale came from Chairman and CEO James Dimon, who liquidated about $234 million of stock at roughly $270 a share, even as the stock traded around $329. Over the last twelve months, insiders did not buy any shares. In the most recent quarter, insider Robin Leopold dumped about $301,000 and there were no purchases. Overall, insider ownership sits around $3.1 billion worth of stock, about 0.3% of the company, which some see as modest alignment with shareholders. The data encourage caution but do not establish a consensus on the stock's direction.

Stablecoin rails to $56T by 2030; DeepSnitch AI leads crypto buy-now case

January 11, 2026, 8:15 AM EST. Bloomberg forecasts that stablecoin settlements could reach about $56 trillion annually by 2030, signaling banks and fintechs backing crypto rails for real money movement. That backdrop lifts demand for assets tied to security, speed, and real-world use. DeepSnitch AI (DSNT) is pitched as a top pick, with a $1.14 million presale and about 120% gains as it nears Stage 4 at roughly $0.03334. The platform runs four live AI agents that scan contracts, flag exploits, monitor wallet activity, and summarize risk in plain English. If stablecoin adoption accelerates, projects delivering on-chain risk tooling and audit capabilities could become essential rails for cross-border payments and merchant settlements.

LINK FOREX's Whitcombe Unveils Intelligent Collaborative Investment Model

January 11, 2026, 8:14 AM EST. London, Jan. 11, 2026 – David Whitcombe, Chief Equity Analyst at LINK FOREX, outlined the 'Intelligent Collaborative Investment Model', a framework that fuses AI analysis, professional research judgment, and investor collaboration to improve asset allocation and risk management in traditional markets. Whitcombe, Cambridge-educated economist, argues the model combines institutional trading frameworks with risk controls, harnesses the collective behavior of retail investors, and lowers the barrier to quantitative, automated strategies. The approach seeks greater discipline and execution consistency, plus more transparent trading logic and data-driven services at LINK FOREX. Analysts say the concept aims to reshape how teams and individual investors interact in equities and foreign exchange, though it will require robust governance as it scales.

Robinhood bets on prediction markets and sports betting to drive 2026 growth

January 11, 2026, 8:08 AM EST. Robinhood (HOOD) is betting on prediction markets and sports betting to power growth into 2026. The platform expanded its prediction markets beyond the 2024 U.S. election to pro and college football, and is positioned as an all-in-one investing hub. In Q3 2025, Robinhood reported revenue doubling, and the firm said the prediction market segment was growing rapidly heading into Q4. October 2025 alone saw about 2.5 billion prediction market trades, marking 3x sequential growth from Q3. The launch of football contracts in August 2025 helped attract new users who may also trade stocks, options, and crypto. Analysts expect more capital to flow into Robinhood as sports betting expands, potentially lifting the stock in 2026.

Centerra Gold Valuation Under Spotlight After Momentum Run

January 11, 2026, 8:06 AM EST.Centerra Gold (TSX: CG) has momentum. The stock rose 34.9% in the last 90 days and 161.6% over the year, from a CA$21.39 level. A narrative-driven valuation points to a fair value of CA$20.54, implying a small premium to the current price and labeling the stock as OVERVALUED on that basis. Analysts' consensus price target sits at CA$12.57, with a range from CA$9.48 to CA$14.86, underscoring wide views on growth and risk. The current P/E of 9.2x compares with an industry average around 23.6x and a broad fair multiple near 14x, prompting the question: is sentiment outpacing fundamentals? Risks cited include Mount Milligan's ore grade uncertainty and Oksüt's rising royalty costs, which could weigh on output and margins. Tools let readers stress test assumptions or build a custom view.

CMS Energy fair value estimated at $66.72 via Dividend Discount Model

January 11, 2026, 8:05 AM EST. CMS Energy shares are near fair value, with a Dividend Discount Model fair value of US$66.72 per share versus a close to US$70 price. The street's analyst price target of US$78.38 implies about 17% above the estimate. The analysis uses DPS (dividends per share) under the Gordon Growth Model (dividends rise forever). The perpetual growth rate of 3.3% reflects the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield; the discount rate is 7.0%. Risks: inputs drive the result; the model is approximate and omits capital needs and industry cyclicality. Date: January 11, 2026. CMS Energy is listed on the NYSE as CMS.

Quaker Chemical: Debt Metrics Point to Moderate Risk (KWR)

January 11, 2026, 8:04 AM EST. Quaker Chemical's balance sheet shows gross debt of $874.5 million as of September 2025, up from $739.9 million a year earlier, with cash of $172.3 million leaving net debt about $702.2 million. Liabilities total $383.4 million due within 12 months and $1.07 billion beyond, offset by $436.2 million in receivables and cash. At the same time, the company's debt-to-EBITDA is 2.6 and EBIT covers its interest expense 4.5 times, signaling a moderate leverage profile. The analysis treats debt risk in light of cash flow and potential dilution versus capital raising options. The piece also nods to risk-aware investing views from Li Lu, a Berkshire-backed investor, and Charlie Munger's maxim that permanent capital loss matters more than price volatility. Quaker's leverage appears manageable, but investors should watch funding needs.

RPM International Ex-Dividend Looms as $0.54 Payout Meets Earnings and Free Cash Flow

January 11, 2026, 8:03 AM EST. RPM International Inc. is entering the ex-dividend window with about four days to the ex-dividend date of January 16. To receive the US$0.54 dividend on January 30, investors must own shares before the record date. The stock trades near $111.02, for a trailing yield of about 1.9%. The company paid US$2.16 per share in the last 12 months. Last year, RPM discharged roughly 40% of profit, and it paid out about 45% of free cash flow, suggesting the dividend is covered by earnings and cash flow if earnings stay stable. Five-year EPS growth runs around 17% annually. The key question remains: can earnings hold up to support a growing dividend?

Diversified Energy Valuation After Buybacks Amid Price Weakness (DEC)

January 11, 2026, 8:02 AM EST. Diversified Energy (DEC) has reduced share count through ongoing buybacks, even as the stock stays under pressure. It last traded around $13.30, with a 1-day slide of 6.01% and a 7-day drop of 10.14%. Over 1 year, total shareholder return is down 14.13% and over 5 years down 52.54%, though 90-day gains exist. The stock trades at a P/S of 0.9x, well below the US Oil & Gas industry average of 1.5x and far below a peer mean of 17.6x. An intrinsic discount of 83.57% accompanies a DCF fair value estimate of $80.93, implying meaningful upside if sentiment improves. However, DEC reports a near-$138 million net loss and faces execution and sentiment risks that could temper any convergence toward fair value.

Marten Transport: 3-year EPS decline weighs on stock; TSR -33%

January 11, 2026, 8:01 AM EST. Marten Transport, Ltd. has not kept pace with the market. The stock rose 22% in the latest quarter, but it has fallen 36% over the past three years, underperforming the broader market. Over the same period, EPS fell 44% on a compound annual basis, far steeper than the roughly 14% annual decline in the share price. The company's P/E sits around 54, implying investors expect a brighter path ahead. Insiders have made meaningful purchases in the last year. Total shareholder return (TSR), which includes dividends, was -33% over three years, worse than the 3-year price drop. For the last year, the stock lost about 14% including dividends; five-year TSR stands around -4% annually. Investors will want to see improvements in earnings, revenue and cashflow before becoming more optimistic.

Kronos Worldwide's Low P/S Reflects Growth Outlook, Not Value (NYSE:KRO)

January 11, 2026, 8:00 AM EST. Kronos Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:KRO) trades at a P/S of about 0.3x, far below the US chemical sector's roughly 1x norm. The gap hinges on forecast growth, not a hidden bargain. Over the last year, revenue was flat, contributing to an approximate 11% revenue decline in the past three years. Look-ahead figures show analysts expect about 1.0% growth next year, well under the roughly 6.1% industry forecast. That growth gap helps explain the subdued P/S and the market's cautious stance toward Kronos Worldwide shares. The article notes 3 warnings investors should heed, underscoring that the multiple mirrors risk around future performance rather than a mispricing of assets. Investors should monitor refinements in demand and margins that could lift the multiple over time.

Big banks kick off Q4 earnings season as inflation data loom: What to watch this week

January 11, 2026, 7:59 AM EST. US stocks rose on Friday, lifting the Dow and S&P 500 to record closes as tech led gains for the first full week of 2026. The Nasdaq finished higher too. Oil climbed, with Brent and WTI futures rising after geopolitical headlines out of Venezuela and actions on its oil sector. Looking ahead, traders will parse inflation data on Tuesday, then producer prices and retail sales on Wednesday, ahead of the end-January Fed meeting, where markets price roughly 95% odds of holding rates. Earnings season starts with JPMorgan Chase and BNY Mellon on Tuesday; Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup on Wednesday, with Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Taiwan Semiconductor later in the week. The December jobs report showed 2025 added 584,000 jobs, the weakest year outside recessions since 2003, with unemployment at 4.4% in December.

MP Materials Could Lead Next Market Cycle as Industrial-Input Play

January 11, 2026, 7:49 AM EST. MP Materials sits at the heart of a domestic rare-earth supply chain, spanning mining, separation, refining and magnet production. As AI infrastructure expands, investors look beyond chips and software to industrial inputs that power magnets and thermal systems. MP Materials operates Mountain Pass, the only major U.S. rare-earth site, enabling a local supply chain for high-performance magnets used in EVs, defense and data centers. NdPr oxide is a core product; Q3 output rose sharply, with a target of 60,000 metric tons annually. A DoD partnership in 2025 includes a 10-year price floor protection at $110/kg for NdPr, boosting earnings visibility and cash-flow predictability. Analysts expect a return to positive EPS in Q4. Apple committed $500 million to long-term US rare-earth magnets and recycling initiatives.

Street resets push Douglas Emmett's fair value toward current price, ratings stay supportive

January 11, 2026, 7:48 AM EST. Douglas Emmett's fair value slipped to US$13.68 from US$13.86 as the discount rate rises to about 10.14%, mirroring a broader Street reset. Targets move closer to the stock's price while ratings stay supportive. The core revenue growth outlook sits near 2.46%, with macro and labor-market risks prompting more cautious assumptions on leasing, occupancy and pricing power. The mix helps explain the higher required return in the model even as the outlook remains steady. Bullish voices from Scotiabank and Wells Fargo say the stock remains attractive on execution and operating fundamentals, though price targets were trimmed to US$16 (from US$18) in both cases. Bears also cut targets to US$15 and US$16. The company reported no share repurchases in Q3 2025; the 2022 program, totaling about 9.07 million shares for US$109.12 million, is now complete.

DTE Energy predominantly owned by institutions; top holders steer stake

January 11, 2026, 7:47 AM EST. DTE Energy's ownership remains heavily skewed toward institutions, which hold about 80% of the shares. The largest holder is The Vanguard Group, Inc., with about 12%, followed by a second holder at roughly 11% and a third at 8.4%. More than half of the company's stock is owned by the top 10 shareholders, suggesting that a small group could influence board decisions and the stock's response to risks or opportunities. The report notes that institutional ownership can lend credibility but also expose shares to rapid moves if several funds shift views at once. DTE is not reported to be hedge-fund owned. Analysts cover the stock and forecast earnings growth; investors might assess opportunities by examining these ownership patterns alongside forecasts and earnings history.

FLNT:CA AI-generated signals outline near-term trading plan for FLINT Corp

January 11, 2026, 7:46 AM EST. FLINT Corp, trading as FLNT:CA, shows mixed AI-generated signals as of January 11, 2026. The plan calls for a long entry near 1.11, with a target of 1.43 and a stop at 1.10. A short near 1.43 targets 1.11 with a stop at 1.44. Ratings for the near, mid, and long term are Weak, Neutral, and Neutral, respectively. The update, credited to Jolene W. and editors, notes that AI-generated signals are available and includes a chart for FLNT:CA. The timestamp-January 11, 2026, 07:15 ET-highlights data recency.

Oppenheimer Holdings on the radar: growth in EPS and insider alignment

January 11, 2026, 7:45 AM EST. Like many profitable, growing firms, OPY has shown momentum. Over the last three years, EPS rose about 10% per year. Revenue grew 13% to roughly $1.5 billion, with EBIT margins roughly flat versus last year. Note that the analysis flagged that reported revenue from operations did not capture all revenue in the prior 12 months, so margin numbers may not fully reflect the core business. Insider ownership is substantial, with a stake of about 34% worth around $262 million, aligning management and shareholder interests. A weak balance sheet remains a caveat. Investors should weigh current valuation and sustained earnings growth before adding OPY to a watchlist.

Analysts weigh NYSE stocks as AI energy and infrastructure bets take center stage

January 11, 2026, 7:44 AM EST. Analysts cited in the piece frame AI as the largest investment opportunity and describe a parallel, energy-focused thesis. They warn that AI data centers push power grids and electricity prices higher, underscoring a need for new infrastructure and project execution to expand capacity. The article centers on a single, relatively obscure NYSE company described as the 'toll booth' operator of the AI energy boom. It owns nuclear infrastructure assets, can execute large EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) projects across oil, gas and renewables, and could benefit from LNG exports and potential tariffs that spur onshoring. The piece ties AI, energy and policy into a narrative of stock picks but remains a promotional brief rather than a comprehensive market guide.

JewishColumbus leader rings NYSE bell as TOV fund debuts

January 11, 2026, 7:32 AM EST. Julie Tilson Stanley, president of JewishColumbus, rang the NYSE bell to celebrate the Dec. 17 launch of TOV, the first Jewish investment fund, a collaboration between JLens, the ADL and Jewish organizations. The fund aims to align capital with Jewish ethics and advocate for communal concerns through shareholder activism and Tikkun Olam. Stanley framed the moment as a sign of resilience amid Hanukkah and antisemitism in corporate America. Investors from New York, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Memphis attended; only Columbus and New York were asked to ring the bell. The event highlighted cross-sector partnerships and local to global impact.

2026 Could Be Called the 'Year of the Bubble' on Wall Street

January 11, 2026, 7:31 AM EST. The author argues 2026 could be remembered as the 'Year of the Bubble' on Wall Street, with up to four bubbles at risk of bursting. After three straight years of double-digit gains, major indices still face headwinds as 2026 nears. The piece highlights Quantum Computing as the most conspicuous candidate: four pure-play stocks – IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave Quantum, Quantum Computing Inc. – have surged since late 2024 but remain unprofitable and heavily capital-burnt, with rich price-to-sales ratios. Analysts say commercialization will take years, keeping these names vulnerable to dilution. By contrast, Artificial Intelligence is further along, driven by Nvidia and Palantir, which have expanded demand for AI infrastructure and cloud solutions, lifting valuations. The author notes that equity gains over 2023-25 were strong, yet valuations and new tech cycles create risk into 2026.

iHeartMedia's ownership heavily tilted toward institutions, top holders control majority

January 11, 2026, 7:30 AM EST. IHeartMedia Inc. (IHRT) shows heavy institutional ownership. About 73% of shares are held by institutional investors, with Pacific Investment Management Company LLC as the largest holder at 16%, the second-largest around 12%, and CEO Robert Pittman at 2.1%. The nine largest holders together own more than half the stock, underscoring how voting power sits with a small group. The concentration risks a crowded trade (many investors share similar positions), which can magnify moves if institutional investors shift. Investors should monitor issuer fundamentals alongside ownership trends, as governance and fundamentals may diverge from price action.

Toro's ROCE at 19% Amid Growing Capital Base; Returns Remain Flat

January 11, 2026, 7:29 AM EST. Toro (NYSE: TTC) posts a steady ROCE of about 19% over the trailing twelve months to October 2025, above the Machinery sector average of 11%. The company has expanded its capital base, with total assets minus current liabilities growing, and capital employed up roughly 26% over the past five years. Yet, after a period of reinvestment at these rates, return on capital has not meaningfully improved, leaving the stock's total return profile largely flat over the last five years. Analysts' forecasts aren't included here; instead, the article notes that while ROCE remains respectable, the lack of acceleration could challenge investors seeking high-growth multiples. The takeaway: Toro demonstrates reinvestment discipline, but the market awaits clearer signs of growth or a re-rating.

FAR: AI-Generated Signals Point to Near-Term Buy for Foraco International (FAR:CA)

January 11, 2026, 7:28 AM EST. Foraco International SA (FAR:CA) received AI-generated signals dated Jan 11, 2026, 07:09 ET. Traders are advised to buy near 2.06 with a stop at 2.05; no short positions are recommended at this time. The AI feed assigns Near-term: Strong, Mid-term: Neutral, and Long-term: Weak ratings. The update highlights a near-term entry while signaling caution on longer horizons.

Dollar climbs as rate-cut bets recede after mixed payrolls and inflation signals

January 11, 2026, 6:57 AM EST. The dollar index rose to a one-month high, closing about +0.2%, as a mixed US payroll report kept rate-cut bets in check. Payrolls rose less than expected, but the unemployment rate fell and wage growth beat forecasts, supporting a hawkish tilt for the Fed. The University of Michigan's January sentiment index beat forecasts, lifting the dollar further. The survey's 1-year inflation expectations held at 4.2% while the longer-term measure rose to 3.4%. A Supreme Court ruling on tariffs adds ambiguity for the dollar depending on tariff revenue and the budget. Markets price roughly 5% for a -25 bp rate cut at the Jan 27-28 FOMC, with the Fed expected to trim less than 50 bp in 2026.

WEC Energy Group's ROE tops industry, but debt raises caution

January 11, 2026, 6:41 AM EST. WEC Energy Group posted a trailing twelve-month ROE of 12% for the period to September 2025, with net profit of US$1.7 billion and shareholders' equity of US$14 billion. The ROE is above the Integrated Utilities industry average of 8.6%. Still, a high ROE can reflect leverage rather than pure profitability. WEC's debt-to-equity ratio stands at 1.49, signaling financing risk if credit markets tighten. Debt-fueled growth can lift ROE, but may weigh on investors when borrowing becomes harder. A risks dashboard highlights at least two risks for WEC Energy Group. Investors should weigh how debt and financing conditions could affect future returns.

Jack Henry & Associates Valuation: Momentum Keeps Price Near Fair Value Amid Mixed Targets

January 11, 2026, 6:40 AM EST. Jack Henry & Associates (JKHY) has traded near $189 after a momentum run, with roughly 25% total return over 3 months and 11% over the past year. A fair value of about $188.15 sits just below the close, leaving a tight valuation gap. Analysts' consensus target runs near $185.09, with a range from $173 to $206. The narrative signals a premium valuation driven by growth expectations, yet the result is described as OVERVALUED if the fair value cannot be sustained. Ongoing bank consolidation and fintech competition could pressure the customer base and margins, challenging the assumed profitability mix. Investors must decide whether today's price reflects anticipated growth or remaining mispricing, with the full analysis outlining the earnings path and the multiple required to justify the valuation.

Is Albemarle (ALB) Still Worth Buying After a 90% Rally? Valuation Signals Undervalue

January 11, 2026, 6:33 AM EST. Albemarle's stock closed at $161.29, with a 90.3% 1-year gain and gains of 12.1% over 7 days, 21.5% over 30 days, and 12.1% year to date. The move reflects sensitivities around lithium supply, EV adoption, and expectations for longer-term battery demand. Simply Wall St rates Albemarle 2/6 on valuation. Its analysis uses a 2-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity model; the latest twelve-month FCF is a loss of about $189.8 million, with projected FCF turning positive in 2026 and rising to about $3.0 billion by 2035. The model puts intrinsic value at about $358.50 per share, implying the stock trades at roughly a 55% discount and is undervalued. Investors should weigh cyclicality, project pipelines, and the reliability of long-term cash flows.

Danny Moses urges traders to watch prediction markets, The Big Short investor says

January 11, 2026, 6:31 AM EST.Danny Moses, the investor behind The Big Short, says traders should monitor prediction markets as a real-time read on near-term outcomes. He argues these markets aggregate diverse information and reveal probabilities traditional research may miss. Moses notes that prediction markets can illuminate shifts in sentiment around events, earnings, regulatory decisions, and crises. The appeal is their price reflects collective judgment rather than a single story. He cautions liquidity and regulatory issues can distort signals. The remarks contribute to a broader debate about using frontier tools to manage risk in volatile markets.

M&T Bank insiders sell US$9.6 million of stock, signaling caution

January 11, 2026, 6:29 AM EST. Over the past year, M&T Bank insiders sold about US$9.6 million of stock, filings show. The largest move was by Independent Director John Barnes, unloading about US$3.0 million at roughly US$200 a share, a price near the then-current level around US$212. Insider selling did not include any purchases in the year. In the last three months, insiders sold about US$2.1 million and made no buys. Insider ownership stands at about US$115 million of stock, or roughly 0.4% of the company's equity. While selling can signal caution, it is a weak signal and not necessarily a call to action. MT Bank profits have been growing.

Marsh & McLennan insiders mostly selling; Vice Chair leads with US$480k share sale

January 11, 2026, 6:27 AM EST. Marsh & McLennan Companies Inc. (NYSE: MMC) saw insiders sell more stock than they bought over the last 12 months. The standout was Vice Chair Martin South, who dumped about US$480,000 of shares at US$240 each, a price above the latest close, which muted negative implications. Overall, insider transactions show net selling for the period. Insider ownership stands at about 0.08% of MMC, roughly US$73 million, indicating a reasonable alignment with shareholders but not a standout stake. There have been no insider transactions reported recently. Investors should monitor insiders activity, though such moves can be interpreted in multiple ways. Analysts note one warning sign in MMC's risk profile, underscoring the need for cautious evaluation.

Synchrony Financial posts 178% three-year TSR as dividend-driven gains outpace EPS growth

January 11, 2026, 6:25 AM EST. Synchrony Financial (NYSE: SYF) has delivered a 178% total shareholder return over three years, driven by dividends and a strong stock move. The shares rose about 160% in price over the period, while EPS grew about 15% per year. The price advance outpaced EPS growth, signaling a market re-rating as confidence built. In the last twelve months, TSR stood at 39% when dividends are included, and the stock has gained roughly 24% in the latest quarter. Analysts watch for revenue growth, but the trend suggests momentum after years of progress. Returns reflect both price appreciation and income, with dividends contributing to overall gains.

Brown & Brown (BRO) Valuation Check After Pullback and Cooling Momentum

January 11, 2026, 5:53 AM EST. Brown & Brown (BRO) trades near US$80.64 after a pullback that left a 3-month share price drop of 14.65% and a flat month. Longer-term momentum remains, with a 3-year total shareholder return of 34.23% and 5-year return of 80.13%, but valuation clues point to cooled growth expectations. The analysis flags an intrinsic discount of about 45% to a narrative fair value near US$92.29 and a 13% gap to analyst targets. At about a P/E (price-to-earnings) ratio of 27.8x, well above the US Insurance industry median of 12.9x and a broader fair of 16.5x, the stock looks undervalued on growth potential but carries execution and macro risks. Key caveats include tariffs, rate moves, and catastrophe-related softness that could pressure earnings.

Capital Southwest appears undervalued after multi-year rally, model-based valuation suggests

January 11, 2026, 5:41 AM EST. Capital Southwest trades near $22.98 as a multi-year rally meets a valuation test. The stock has posted 18.6% returns over the past year, with 3.1% weekly, 3.2% monthly gains, and 3-year/5-year gains of 76.2% and 118.2%. Simply Wall St scores it 3 of 6 on a valuation checklist, indicating undervalued on about half the checks. An Excess Returns model yields an intrinsic value of $28.33 per share, vs. a $22.98 price, an implied 18.9% discount. Base data: Book Value $16.62, Stable EPS $2.35, median ROE 14.17%, Cost of Equity $1.60, Excess Return $0.75. Traditional P/E commentary notes valuation depends on growth and risk; in this frame, CSWC looks undervalued, albeit with risk to monitor.

TD SYNNEX looks undervalued after price weakness, with DCF signaling upside

January 11, 2026, 5:40 AM EST. TD SYNNEX (SNX) trades around US$150.45, with a 1-year return of 13.8%, 3-year 40.9% and 5-year 82.9%, though YTD is down 1.9%. Coverage frames SNX as a large global IT distributor and solutions provider, with demand for hardware, software and services shaping sentiment. The stock earns a valuation score of 5/6, suggesting price alone doesn't tell the full story. A two-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity model yields an intrinsic value around US$244.50 per share, implying roughly 38.5% upside versus the current price. The stock trades at a P/E of 14.6x, below peer group 15.9x and industry 26.0x, indicating a relative discount. Details appear in the company report's valuation section.

Cardinal Health (CAH) stock valuation after a 5-year surge

January 11, 2026, 5:39 AM EST. Cardinal Health's share price sits around $201.11, with a 5-year gain of roughly 309% and a 1-year climb of 67.5% that masks volatility. The stock carries a valuation score of 3/6, indicating mixed signals across checks. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model pegs intrinsic value at about $461.54 a share, suggesting the equity is undervalued by about 56.4%. Analysts project around $4.39b in free cash flow (FCF) in 2030 after about $4.46b in the latest twelve months, shaping a ten-year path. The P/E multiple sits near 29.96x, above healthcare peers and the sector; investors weigh growth expectations against risk in a healthcare distribution leader.

Sims Limited (ASX:SGM) lifts earnings on operational gains; dividend support reshapes the investment narrative

January 11, 2026, 5:38 AM EST. Sims Limited reported higher earnings driven by stronger operations and ongoing dividend contributions, reinforcing its role in the ASX 200 metals and recycling sector. The improvement highlights how its recycling-focused model can translate efficiency into shareholder returns amid regulatory costs. The market now looks to the upcoming first half 2026 results on 17 February to see if the earnings gains are sustainable, with questions about whether tighter scrap prices or softer demand could pressure margins and cash flow. For the margin and earnings resilience story, investors should weigh ongoing regulatory and decarbonization costs against operational improvements. Analysts note a long-range plan projecting revenue of about A$8.5 billion by 2028, but near-term risk remains from commodity cycles.

13 penny stocks fall 25-50% in a month; investors cautioned

January 11, 2026, 5:37 AM EST. Over the past month, 13 penny stocks have tumbled 25% to 50% as thin liquidity and volatility bite. The screening targeted firms with a market capitalisation below Rs 1,000 crore, a share price under Rs 20, and a minimum recent trading volume of 5 lakh shares. The aim was to flag low-priced but actively traded names that have seen sharp erosion in value. (Data source: ACE Equity.) Penny stocks, typically low-priced shares, can lure investors with cheap entry but carry elevated risk from limited disclosures and potential price manipulation. Without disciplined risk controls, investors risk outsized losses rather than meaningful gains.

Two AI Stocks to Buy for the Long Term: Microsoft and Tesla

January 11, 2026, 5:22 AM EST. Two AI-focused names anchor a market view that AI is a defining technology. A United Nations report projects the market rise from $189B in 2024 to $4.8T by 2033. Microsoft and Tesla sit at different ends of the AI spectrum. Microsoft leverages AI across its stack, with Azure and Office powering cloud revenue of $49B in the latest quarter, up 26% YoY; Copilot adoption rose 50% QoQ, and the company plans to double its data-centre footprint. Analysts see roughly 15% annual revenue growth to about $562B by 2030. Tesla shows strong cash generation, with operating cash flow over $15B in the trailing 12 months and about $29B in net cash, supporting ongoing AI product investments in autonomous driving.

AI remains best game but diversification grows as rates fall, BlackRock strategist says

January 11, 2026, 4:39 AM EST. An ETF-focused segment for Invesco QQQ featured Kristy Akullian of BlackRock. The base case for the year remains constructive, with a fiscal impulse and tax cuts taking effect, plus ongoing deregulation. Akullian expects rates to fall, supporting risk-taking. On portfolio construction, she says the AI narrative is still the best game in town, but not the only one, emphasizing diversification. The AI-related basket in technology and communications services firms actually declined in price relative to earnings in 2025, suggesting opportunity as earnings growth outpaced price gains. BlackRock Investment Institute sees further upside but notes close monitoring of the labor market. The remarks reflect the ETF outlook tied to Invesco QQQ's weekly report.

Pure Storage stock undervalued on DCF after pullback, price near $66.98

The stock's value score stands at 3/6, suggesting mixed signals and a partial screening for value. Revenue scale and market share remain focal points for sentiment on enterprise and cloud workloads.

Stock Market Faces Rare Historical Pattern Ahead of 2026, CAPE Ratio in Focus

January 11, 2026, 4:18 AM EST. Stocks logged triple-digit returns: the S&P 500 rose 24%, 23%, and 16% over the past three years as AI and other growth names led the rally. The environment benefited from a Fed easing cycle that began in 2024, lowering borrowing costs and boosting consumer spending. As 2026 opens, investors watch a pattern described as rare in 153 years, with history offering clues for the year ahead. Last year featured headwinds from tariff plans that weighed on earnings, though markets recovered on earnings and resilient AI demand. The discussion centers on the CAPE ratio-the S&P 500 Shiller CAPE, a valuation gauge based on prices relative to earnings-and what that measure may imply for stock returns in the new year.

Clorox at 11-year low yields 4.9%; contrarian case for 2026 passive income

January 11, 2026, 4:02 AM EST. Clorox's stock has fallen about 38% in 2025 as consumer staples underperformed. The shares sit near an 11-year low around $106, with a dividend yield close to 4.9%. The decline accompanies a multiyear turnaround to lift margins through brand optimization and an ERP upgrade. The ERP transition created near-term headwinds, and management projects fiscal 2026 organic sales flat to down 5%-9% and earnings lower. Investors are focusing on the longer horizon, where cloud-based systems, a refreshed supply chain and better data tools could cut costs and boost cash returns. Risks include execution challenges, slower macro demand and a delayed recovery in organic growth.

ETM eyes Nasdaq listing as Western push on critical minerals reshapes investment narrative

January 11, 2026, 3:46 AM EST. Energy Transition Minerals (ETM) is courting a Nasdaq listing, hiring Ballard Partners and Cohen & Company Capital Markets to bolster US policy engagement and advance its Kvanefjeld rare-earths project in Greenland. The move ties ETM to Western efforts to secure critical minerals supply chains and aligns its investment narrative with policy support for energy-transition materials. A successful listing could give ETM access to deeper US capital markets and clearer policy alignment on Greenland and critical minerals, but the stock remains pre-revenue, loss-making, and dependent on further equity fundraising. A valuation report flags an inflated price versus estimates, underscoring funding risk and potential dilution if market support fades. Investors should weigh whether today's enthusiasm translates into a sustainable business rather than a short-term rerating.

Genting Singapore stock at S$0.73 as funds turn net sellers ahead of Feb 19 earnings

January 11, 2026, 3:33 AM EST. Genting Singapore closed Friday at S$0.73, up 0.7%, but fund-flow data show institutions started 2026 as net sellers. The shares traded in a narrow range (S$0.725-S$0.735) with a 52-week span of S$0.66-S$0.80. Analysts are broadly positive: average target around S$0.878, implying roughly 20% upside. Investors await the Feb 19 earnings release for clues on revenue, margins, and the Resorts World Sentosa overhaul. Morgan Stanley flags debt funding as a viable option, with about S$5 billion still needed for the next expansion phase. A softer visitor spend or higher costs could squeeze cash returns as capital expenditure (capex) rises. Friday's close keeps the stock near the critical S$0.72 level, with a potential move toward the upper end of the year range if earnings surprise to the upside.

January 2026 Tech Stock Picks: Nvidia, Netflix Lead Nasdaq-100 Start

January 11, 2026, 3:31 AM EST. January seasonality is on investors' minds. Nasdaq-100 stocks rise in January about 70% of the time since 1985, averaging roughly 2.5%, versus S&P 500 gains about 62%. The pull reflects year-end cash, including retirement contributions and bonuses, flowing into equities. Tech names linked to AI are seen as durable bets for 2026. Notable picks include Nvidia, a leading AI infrastructure supplier whose GPUs power data centers; management notes AI infrastructure spending could climb from about $600 billion annually to as much as $4 trillion by 2030. Nvidia reported about $57 billion in quarterly revenue, with $51.2 billion from data centers, and talks of resuming China sales after regulatory clearance. Netflix remains a top streamer with more than 300 million subscribers in 190 countries. A third Nasdaq-100 tech stock also factors into the buy list.

IBM downgraded to Hold by Wall Street Zen; analysts adjust ratings and targets

January 11, 2026, 3:24 AM EST.IBM was downgraded to Hold by Wall Street Zen from Buy in a Sunday note. Other brokers moved on IBM: Stifel Nicolaus lifted its price target to $325 and kept a Buy. Weiss Ratings upgraded IBM to Buy. Morgan Stanley trimmed its target to $252 and set Equal Weight. Erste Group Bank upgraded to Buy, and RBC lifted its target to $350 with an Outperform rating. Market participants show a mixed consensus: one Strong Buy, ten Buy, five Hold, and one Sell per MarketBeat, with a Moderate Buy overall and a $301.85 average target. IBM traded near $304.36, above a 50-day line of $303.55 and near a 200-day average of $281.97. The stock's last quarterly results beat on EPS and revenue; next year earnings are seen around $10.78. Norges Bank bought a new stake in the second quarter.

Optimum Communications trims price target to $2.25 as fair value sits at $2.38; antitrust suit and name change to OPTU

January 11, 2026, 3:22 AM EST. Analysts trimmed Optimum Communications' 12-month price target to US$2.25 from US$3.50, while the model fair value stays at US$2.38 using a 12.5% discount. The revision ties value more to whether the company can execute planned operational changes. Raymond James maintains an Outperform rating (the stock is expected to beat the market), noting potential margin gains from cost controls even as targets fall. Bearish notes warn that the lower target reflects near-term execution risk. Separately, Optimum filed an antitrust lawsuit in New York over an alleged cartel blocking debt buybacks. Altice USA will rename to Optimum Communications, Inc. and switch the NYSE ticker to OPTU later in 2025, aligning the listing with the brand. The central valuation remains US$2.38.

J.B. Hunt Valuation Under Scrutiny After Momentum Push

January 11, 2026, 3:21 AM EST. J.B. Hunt Transport Services (JBHT) closed at US$206.85 as momentum remains intact. The stock has surged 49.76% over 90 days and posts a 1-year total return near 20%. Analysts' consensus target sits at US$159.38, with a high of US$180.00 and a low of US$133.00. A full narrative estimates a fair value of US$175.65 (labeled OVERVALUED). The current P/E is 34.4x, above the transportation sector and near peers; the projected fair ratio is 17.4x. Risks include cost inflation, higher insurance premiums, and softer demand in Final Mile services. The debate centers on whether the rally prices in growth or if downside risk remains as valuation gaps persist.

Par Pacific Holdings valuation after recent share moves

January 11, 2026, 3:20 AM EST. Par Pacific Holdings (PARR) traded at US$37.16, with a 3.7% year-to-date gain and a 1-year total shareholder return of about 114%. A 1-month rise of 8.5% hints at cooling and risk reassessment. The stock's discount to analyst targets and intrinsic value raises the question of upside. Analysts' consensus target sits at $31.50, with a range from $23.00 to $39.00. A separate narrative pegs fair value at $47.38, about a 21.6% discount to the last close, using a 7.25% discount rate. That scenario assumes margin rebuilding and earnings recovery despite likely revenue declines. Risks include regional concentration in Hawaii and the Western US and exposure to older refinery assets.

FedEx valuation after rally: DCF suggests intrinsic value around $304 vs $312 share price

January 11, 2026, 3:19 AM EST. FedEx trades around $312 a share after a stretch of gains, up about 6.6% in a week and 9.9% over 30 days. The stock is up 18.1% year-to-date and higher over longer horizons. The assessment shows a valuation score of 2/6, indicating modest undervaluation on two checks. A DCF model using a two-stage approach yields an intrinsic value of about $304.44 per share, implying the stock is roughly 2.6% above that estimate. The P/E stands at 16.96x, just above the logistics sector's 16.14x. In short, FedEx appears fairly valued but sensitive to changes in growth expectations; monitor earnings or capital allocation on your watchlist.

AB Dynamics shares down 42% in five years despite earnings growth (LON:ABDP)

January 11, 2026, 3:18 AM EST. AB Dynamics plc (LON:ABDP) has seen its shares fall 42% over five years, even as EPS grew about 24% annually and revenue rose 15%. The stock slid 27% in the past year, underperforming the AIM market, which rose roughly 28%. The dividend yield is modest, around 0.7%. The balance sheet has strengthened, but last year's price action suggests investors question the path to sustainable value. While earnings growth outpaced the price, the market remains cautious about valuation. The gap between improving fundamentals and lower prices highlights ongoing uncertainty for shareholders.

G2 Goldfields GTWO Valuation Check After Momentum; DCF Signals Far Higher Fair Value

January 11, 2026, 3:16 AM EST. G2 Goldfields (TSX:GTWO) trades at CA$6.67, after a period of momentum. Over the last week the stock rose 4.38%, about 39% in the past month, and 71% in three months. The 1-year total shareholder return is roughly 181%, with a five-year gain exceeding tenfold. The shares fetch a 16.9x price-to-book, well above the Canadian metals and mining average of 3.3x and peer average of 8.7x. The company remains unprofitable, reporting a net loss of CA$11.40m on revenue of CA$683,760. A discounted cash flow model shows fair value near CA$130.38 per share, versus the current price. The gap raises questions about whether the market is pricing asset potential or overly optimistic growth. Key risk: development delays at Oko Ghanie. Analyst target: CA$8.08.

FirstCash Holdings (FCFS) valuation flags amid 56% annual rally

January 11, 2026, 3:14 AM EST. FirstCash Holdings trades around $164.91 a share after a 56% one-year gain. On a six-test valuation, it scores 1/6. The company is viewed as a pawn lender with regulatory risk sensitivity. In the Excess Returns model, with a Book Value of $49.84 and a Stable EPS of $5.43, and a Cost of Equity of $3.84, the intrinsic value comes out at $73.61 per share – implying overvaluation of 124.0% versus the current price. The analysis frames whether investors should look beyond earnings to capital efficiency. The report also notes P/E as a shorthand, reflecting market expectations built into the price. Investors should weigh regulation and credit cycles before chasing the rally.

AMETEK shares hover near $210 as DCF signals valuation gap

January 11, 2026, 3:12 AM EST. AMETEK trades near $210.64 a share, with a 0.7% weekly gain, a 4.4% rise in the past month, and a 20.4% gain over the last year. The stock has attracted attention as investors weigh quality industrial names and the broader capital goods sector. In our valuation checks, AMETEK scores 1 out of 6, and a Discounted Cash Flow model points to an intrinsic value of about $175.22 per share. At roughly $210.64, the market price implies the stock is about 20.2% above that cash-flow based value, i.e., overvalued on this framework. The stock also trades at a P/E of about 33x, versus an electrical industry average near 31x. Investors should consider how much of the current price reflects earnings momentum versus longer-term cash generation.

Evoke fair value shifts as takeover terms clash with UK gaming tax headwinds

January 11, 2026, 3:10 AM EST. Evoke's fair value moved from £0.82 to about £0.76 a share as analysts weigh a takeover anchor against UK gaming tax and growth risks. The valuation uses the US$11.00 per-share cash offer and JPMorgan's revised 66 GBp target as a reference if the deal closes. But concerns around a roughly 35% blended UK gaming tax rate and softer growth temper upside. Investors should watch how new information shapes the narrative. Evoke's board has launched a formal review of strategic options, with Morgan Stanley and Rothschild as advisers, though there is no certainty any transaction will occur. Jefferies remains constructive on Evoke and peers; JPMorgan and Laidlaw have grown cautious.

Is American Airlines Group a value opportunity after recent rebound?

January 11, 2026, 3:08 AM EST. American Airlines Group trades around $15.99 a share, after a 3.3% weekly gain and a 6.9% monthly rise; the last 12 months show a 13.0% drop, with five-year performance at 1.5%. The mix underscores risk and upside as investors weigh ongoing operating headwinds against a long-run recovery. A simple value screen scores 4 of 6. A DCF model – using a 2-stage approach and trailing free cash flow (FCF) of about $1.03 billion – yields an intrinsic value of $33.97 a share, implying a roughly 53% discount to the current price and deeming the stock undervalued on cash flows. The piece also discusses the P/E ratio, which links current share price to earnings and reflects growth expectations and risk. The takeaway: value hinges on how the airline navigates cost pressures and demand recovery.

Luckin Coffee: DCF signals ~12% overvaluation as shares hover above intrinsic value

January 11, 2026, 3:06 AM EST. Luckin Coffee's stock, ticker LKNC.Y, last closed at US$33.12 amid a mix of near-term weakness and longer-term gains. Over the past year, Luckin Coffee returned 36.1%, and over three years about 35.7%; the latest month saw a 6.4% slide, with YTD -6.5%. A DCF model using a 2-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity framework yields an intrinsic value of US$29.54 per share, versus the current price, implying the stock is about 12.1% overvalued. The P/E sits at 19.0x, below the industry average about 22.2x and far under the peer average of 64.7x. The verdict remains mixed: growth in China's coffee market supports upside, but the current price already reflects a premium.

BILL Holdings Valuation Signals Intrinsic Discount Amid AI-driven Growth

January 11, 2026, 3:04 AM EST. BILL Holdings (BILL) trades at $54.48, with a narrative fair value of $60.86 and an intrinsic discount of about 41%. The 7-day return is 7.75% and the 90-day gain 9.84%, while the 1-year total return is -34.52%, showing momentum shifts in the near term but pressure over the longer horizon. The gap to fair value reflects an expected boost from AI-powered financial operations agents and automation that could lift revenue and margins through higher retention and new pricing tiers. A discounted cash flow approach using a rate just under 10% supports a fair value above today's price. Risks include softer SMB spending and pricing pressure from larger fintech rivals.

Codan Upgrades FY26 Guidance as Metal Detection and Communications Drive Profit Upgrade

January 11, 2026, 2:17 AM EST. Codan (ASX: CDA) lifted FY26 guidance after a strong half-year update, with shares up about 27%. The company forecasts a 52% lift in NPAT and 29% revenue growth for H1 FY26, driven by a 46% rise in metal detection sales and progress in communications. Underlying NPAT is expanding faster than revenue, signaling operating leverage as demand in Africa and recreational markets combines with more profitable communications growth. The market awaits the 19 February 2026 H1 results to test the guidance and quantify how much of the metal-detection lift is supported by communications and to gauge exposure to gold detectors cyclicality. Risks include a downturn in gold-detection demand that could unwind momentum. Codan projects A$961.4 million revenue and A$185.4 million earnings by 2028; fair-value estimates vary widely.

No Q3 share repurchases were disclosed, after 742,163 shares (2.08%) were bought under the 2024 plan. The discount rate ticked to 8.20% from 8.23%.

JinkoSolar Holding valuation check after momentum and energy-storage growth

January 11, 2026, 2:15 AM EST. JinkoSolar Holding (NYSE: JKS) faces a valuation check after momentum in shares and a growing energy-storage narrative. At $27.12, the stock's 90-day return of 15.8% contrasts with a slightly negative year-to-date return and mixed longer-term TSR. The market sees momentum picking up after past weakness.

Ongoing R&D investments are driving cell efficiency gains, supporting competitive positioning. A recent narrative put a Fair Value of $35.23, suggesting the stock is undervalued versus the current price, though risks include policy shifts, higher priced overseas orders, and pressure on gross margins. Investors should test assumptions with the provided data.

Deutsche Bank Maintains Buy on EchoStar, Lifts Target to $131; Citi Raises Target to $111

January 11, 2026, 1:44 AM EST. Deutsche Bank reiterated a Buy rating on EchoStar (SATS) and raised its price objective to $131 from $97, implying about 28% upside. The Fly reported the move, with catalysts cited: the prospective sale of EchoStar's AWS-3 paired spectrum, the closure of the Dish creditor case, potential deals with tower providers, and a possible SpaceX IPO. The bank also notes interest from Verizon and T-Mobile in the spectrum licenses. In a separate note, Citi analyst Michael Rollins lifted SATS' target to $111 from $87 and kept a Neutral rating, referencing market chatter around SpaceX's valuation. EchoStar designs, develops, and distributes set-top boxes and related services for DTH providers. Investors should weigh the spectrum upside against other opportunities.

Novartis (SWX:NOVN) stock appears undervalued after gains, driven by DCF analysis

January 11, 2026, 1:43 AM EST. Novartis trades around CHF 114.04 per share, with recent performance uneven: up 4.1% in the past week, 8.1% over 30 days, and 5.1% year-to-date.

The DCF model – a two-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity framework – yields an intrinsic value of about CHF 263.87, implying a about 56.8% discount to the current price. The P/E ratio sits at 19.0x, below the sector average of ~23x and peers around 86.3x, suggesting the stock looks cheaper on earnings grounds, though broader risks remain.

CBA stock near A$153 ahead of CPI data and RBA decision; investors eye Feb results

January 11, 2026, 1:42 AM EST. Commonwealth Bank shares finished Friday at A$153.22, down 0.08%. Markets shift focus to January inflation data due Jan 28 and the RBA policy decision in early February. CBA will report its half-year results and an interim dividend on Feb 11, with the ex-dividend date Feb 18. The stock trades like a rate-sensitive play, with net interest margin and loan losses guiding profits as competition dims margins. Westpac, ANZ and NAB posted smaller losses. A hotter inflation print or firmer RBA rhetoric could lift yields and pressure banks, while mortgage strain could temper the dividend narrative. Investors await guidance amid a mixed sector backdrop and a pending U.S. jobs report and a Supreme Court decision affecting global risk sentiment.

DBS Group surged above $58 to record highs before closing at $57.60, while OCBC topped $20 intraday and ended at $19.80. Banks supported the Straits Times Index (STI), lifting it above 4,700 and fueling talk of a move toward 5,000 this year. Analysts say income-focused investors may find dividend yields above 5% appealing if earnings stay resilient. UOB stands out on valuation, with a projected yield around 5.8% based on Jan 5 close of $35.50. SGX rose more than 2% as the exchange rebranded its equities unit to SGX Stock Exchange during a year celebrating the STI's 60th anniversary.

January 11, 2026, 1:30 AM EST. Bloom Energy (BE) shares jumped 14% after Forbes on Jan. 5, 2026, citing a $600 million credit line that boosts liquidity and capex flexibility for AI-related infrastructure and datacenters. Trading volume rose with the price as the market recovered from December. The facility is seen reducing risk around expansion and supporting onsite power generation growth amid rising energy demand from AI. The company posted a gross margin of 31.2% and a negative pre-tax profit margin of -14.8%. The Fly on Dec. 29, 2025, said Clear Street kept a Hold rating and lifted the price target to $58 from $50, raising 2026 and 2027 revenue estimates to $3.33 billion (up 2% and 9%). BE remains a notable player in the energy transformation, though some AI stocks offer greater upside with lower risk.

EMCOR Group (EME) Seen Undervalued After Five-Year Run, DCF Signals 29% Gap

January 11, 2026, 1:29 AM EST. EMCOR Group (EME) trades near $646.27 after a five-year run that has doubled or more, about 6x. Over the past week, shares rose 1.2%; month 3.6%; YTD 1.2%; and 1-year returns hit 38.6%. The stock carries a valuation score of 5/6, suggesting it is undervalued on most checks. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model-using a two-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach-yields an intrinsic value of about $913.95 per share, versus $646.27 today, implying roughly 29.3% undervalued. The model uses a latest twelve-month FCF of about $1.15 billion and analyst estimates through 2029 of $2.01 billion. On a price-earnings basis, EMCOR trades at 25.59x earnings, below the construction industry average of about 33x. Verdict: multiple signals point to value, though headlines may lag fundamentals.

AutoNation valuation under review as shares hover around $216; fair value seen at $238

January 11, 2026, 1:28 AM EST. AutoNation (AN) trades at $216.38, with a 7-day return of 4.79% and a year-to-date gain of 4.79%. The stock's one-year total shareholder return is 26.66% and five-year TSR 191.74%, underscoring sustained momentum. A widely cited narrative values AutoNation at about $238.10, implying an intrinsic discount of roughly 26% and upside from the current price. The fair value rests on projecting revenues, profits and per-share earnings and discounting at 11.98%. The story assumes gradual revenue growth, margin uplift, rising earnings, ongoing share repurchases and a lower future P/E versus peers. Benefits cited include industry consolidation, disciplined capital allocation and scale-driven margin leverage. Key risks: faster adoption of direct-to-consumer/online models and accelerated EV uptake that could erode aftersales margins. Markets could shift the narrative quickly; readers can test assumptions by building a custom AutoNation scenario.

Haemonetics Valuation: Momentum Lifts Shares but Fair Value Signals Undervaluation

January 11, 2026, 1:27 AM EST. Haemonetics Corp (HAE) trades at $82.03, with a ~3% weekly gain, a small month-late dip, and a 3-month return of 63.3%. The stock is ~7% higher over 12 months, but -4% and -35% over 3 and 5 years, highlighting a recent momentum rebound amid longer-term headwinds. A narrative fair value of $91.70 flags the shares as undervalued at current levels. Transformation efforts-divesting low-margin businesses, disciplined capital deployment, and investments in automation and digital solutions-have lifted gross and operating margins, with FY26 guidance of 26-27%. That supports higher net margins and free cash flow, potentially warranting a higher multiple. Risks: sustaining momentum in NexSys, TEG, and VASCADE, and interventional-technologies market-share pressure. This article is general in nature; readers should run their own analysis.

January 11, 2026, 1:14 AM EST.Guardant Health closed at US$110.17, up about 8% over the last 7 days and 30 days, with a 1-year gain near 200% and a 3-year gain of 262%, while the 5-year return sits about a 30.8% decline. The stock scores 2/6 on our valuation checks, indicating it is undervalued on two metrics.

The analysis also uses a price-to-sales (P/S) approach, reflecting growth expectations and risk, but the excerpt ends before details are provided.

The stock carries a valuation score of 1/6, suggesting weak confirmation from traditional checks. A DCF view using CHF 331.7 million in trailing free cash flow yields an intrinsic value of US$54.98 per share, implying about a 10.7% upside to the price and labeling the name undervalued on this model. The analysis notes that a P/E lens depends on growth expectations, leaving broader value questions unresolved. Investors also weigh brand strength and long-run demand for premium sportswear as a catalyst for future gains.

Inputs cited include Book Value US$12.20, Stable EPS US$1.75, ROE 15.11%, and a per-share cost of equity of US$1.12. A second valuation path via P/E is noted but not detailed here.

January 11, 2026, 1:11 AM EST. Citizens Financial Group maintains an Outperform rating on Terns Pharmaceuticals, boosting its price target to $57 from $35 after interim CARDINAL ASH data showing a best-in-class profile for TERN-701, the company's lead candidate. The firm notes strong activity after asciminib and ponatinib, suggesting potential in second-line use and a high deep molecular response that could support first-line potential. Terns reported Q3 2025 results and said an ASH 2025 abstract highlighted unprecedented Phase 1 CML efficacy data and a possible best-in-disease profile for TERN-701, with an expanded CARDINAL dataset to be presented at ASH. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities stood at $295.6 million at Sept. 30, 2025, down from $358.2 million at end-2024, enough to fund planned costs into 2028.

Six hypergrowth tech stocks to watch in 2026, led by Palantir, Nvidia and AMD

January 11, 2026, 12:42 AM EST. Six hypergrowth tech names are positioned to lead 2026 as AI, data infrastructure and cloud demand intensifies. Palantir is pivoting from government work to commercial AI software, led by its Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). Q3 2025 results showed 121% growth in U.S. commercial revenue and 63% overall revenue, while the AIP sales cycle shortened via five-day bootcamps and larger deals-204 deals of $1 million or more last quarter. Nvidia remains the top AI compute provider, with about $57 billion in quarterly revenue, a market cap near $4.5 trillion, and a dominant lead despite rising competition from AMD. AMD is pushing back with the MI300 series and strong leadership, aiming to expand GPU adoption. The list highlights opportunities across six global leaders in AI, data infrastructure, and cloud platforms.

Macy's (M) valuation signals undervaluation after 53% year jump; DCF shows 19% discount

January 11, 2026, 12:41 AM EST. Macy's stock closed at $23.17 a share, after a run of 53.4% over the last year. Recent moves show a mixed tape: +1.8% over the past week, -4.1% in the last month, and +1.8% YTD. The company's value checks score 4 out of 6 on the firm's framework. A discounted cash flow model using a two-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity estimates a fair value near $28.69 per share, implying Macy's trades at about a 19.3% discount to intrinsic value. The model starts from last twelve months FCF of about $678 million and projects through 2035 to roughly $743 million. The stock also trades on a trailing P/E around 12, highlighting a potential value case for a long-standing department-store operator.

Greenbrier Companies (GBX) valuation after earnings beat amid YoY revenue decline

January 11, 2026, 12:40 AM EST. Greenbrier Companies (GBX) posted a quarterly beat on revenue and earnings, but the results showed a clear YoY slowdown in top and bottom lines. The street welcomed the beat but punished the stock: a 10.27% single-day drop to $47.86 after the release. Management confirmed fresh railcar orders, a completed buyback tranche and a higher share authorization at the AGM, offering some counterbalance to the weaker annual trend, including softer margins. On the horizon, 90-day returns lag 1-year TSR, while longer-term investors have seen gains in 3- and 5-year frames. Valuation is mixed: a narrative fair value of $53.50 suggests undervalued status, but a DCF pegs fair value at about $5.16. Risks include steel-cost pressure and European facility issues.

Brookfield Infrastructure valuation under scrutiny as 1-year gains clash with near-term weakness

January 11, 2026, 12:39 AM EST.Brookfield Infrastructure (BIPC) has weakened over the past week, month and three months despite a positive 1-year total return of 18.58%. The stock trades at a price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of 1.4x, cheaper than its peers (2.1x) but above the broader Global Gas Utilities index (1x). DCF (discounted cash flow) suggests a very different picture: implied fair value around US$5.68, versus the last close near US$43.26, implying potential overvaluation if fundamental drivers hold. The company still reports a net loss of US$156 million recently, which could weigh sentiment. Analysts' targets remain above the last close. Investors should weigh short-term momentum against the longer-term valuation, and consider risks to near-term earnings.

PulteGroup Valuation Mixed; DCF Signals Undervalued Near $132

January 11, 2026, 12:34 AM EST. Shares trade around $132.20, after 11.0% gains in the past week and 23.8% in the last year. The stock's valuation picture is a mix: 4 of 6 checks point to upside while others are mixed. In the primary framework, a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model using a two-stage free cash flow to equity yields an intrinsic value of about $152.69 per share. With a trailing 12-month FCF near $1.56b and projections toward $2.03b in 2035, the model implies the shares are about 13.4% undervalued at $132.20. The piece also plans to compare P/E and cash-flow methods and offers an alternate valuation angle to add context amid housing-market headlines and sentiment swings.

Nat-Gas prices sink on warm US weather forecasts

January 11, 2026, 12:33 AM EST. Feb Nymex natural gas (NGG26) closed down 0.238, -6.99%, at a 2.5-month nearest-futures low. Warmer US weather forecasts for Jan 9-15 and Jan 16-23 undercut heating demand and support storage build. NatGasWeather said most of the US is forecast to warm. The EIA raised its 2025 US nat-gas production forecast to 107.74 bcf/d from 107.70; production sits near a record, with Lower-48 dry gas output at 113.5 bcf/d, +10.7% y/y. Lower-48 demand was 87.9 bcf/d, -28.1% y/y. LNG net flows stood at 19.5 bcf/d, +0.1% w/w. Thursday's EIA report showed a larger-than-expected inventory draw of 119 bcf for the week ended Jan 2. European storage at 58% full; Baker Hughes tallied 124 US nat-gas rigs, down 1 from a 2.25-year high of 130 in late November.

Ravindra Energy's high P/S raises caution as revenue trends mix

January 11, 2026, 12:32 AM EST. Ravindra Energy Limited (NSE:RELTD) trades at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of about 5.1x, higher than roughly half of Indian Electrical peers, where many trade below 1.7x. The elevated multiple is not easily explained by current fundamentals. The company has posted rapid recent revenue growth, but revenue declined about 23% from three years earlier. The broader Electrical industry is expected to grow around 28% in the next year, suggesting a premium may be difficult to justify. Analysts have not published estimates for Ravindra Energy, limiting consensus guidance. The analysis cautions that a high P/S relative to peers may imply higher risk if growth slows. Investors may face disappointment if the multiple does not tighten to reflect weaker revenue trends.

Walmart to join Nasdaq-100, replacing AstraZeneca from Jan 20

January 11, 2026, 12:31 AM EST. Walmart will join the Nasdaq-100 from January 20, replacing AstraZeneca after moving its listing from the NYSE to Nasdaq in November, a decision Reuters cited. The change puts the retailer among Nasdaq's largest non-financial names, alongside players such as Nvidia and Apple. The move expands Walmart's index presence by also including it in the Nasdaq-100 Equal Weighted Index and the Nasdaq-100 Ex-Tech Sector Index when markets open. For clarity, the Nasdaq-100 is a benchmark of big non-financial Nasdaq-listed companies; the Equal Weighted variant assigns equal weight to each member, while the Ex-Tech index excludes technology firms. Companies pursue such shifts to reach different investor groups and potentially reduce listing and compliance costs, and to benefit from Nasdaq's technology platform.

Brainbees Solutions (NSE:FIRSTCRY) 3.7% pullback as institutions weigh exits amid year-long losses

January 11, 2026, 12:30 AM EST.Brainbees Solutions Ltd., trading as FIRSTCRY on the NSE, slipped 3.7% last week, widening its one-year decline to about 49%. With institutional investors accounting for roughly 27% of the stock and the six largest holders controlling about 51%, the shares may swing on big traders' moves. The top holder is SB Investment Advisers (UK) Limited with 20%, followed by Mahindra & Mahindra Limited at 8.6% and SBI Funds Management Limited at 8.2%. The CEO, Supam Maheshwari, owns about 5.2%. The concentration implies pressure on the price if large holders dilute positions. No hedge funds own the stock, according to the latest data. Investors should monitor ongoing flows from these groups as profits and losses align with ownership shifts.

Six Flags (FUN) appears undervalued after 65.6% one-year drop, DCF shows 72.8% gap

January 11, 2026, 12:29 AM EST. Six Flags Entertainment trades at $15.94, after a 1-year drop of 65.6% and a 3-year decline of 60.3%. The stock has risen 2.9% on the week and 6.9% in 30 days as investors reassess risk in US consumer services and theme parks. A 5/6 value score accompanies questions about price versus fundamentals. A 2-stage DCF model using a FCFE approach gives an intrinsic value near $58.50 per share, implying about 72.8% undervalued against the current price. The model assumes a trailing-twelve-month FCFE loss of $93.63 million, with projections to 2029. A P/S ratio of 0.52x sits below the Hospitality industry average.

Canada Goose GOOS Valuation After Recent Share Price Strength

January 11, 2026, 12:28 AM EST. Canada Goose Holdings (TSX: GOOS) trades near CA$18.36 after a year of gains. The stock rose about 30 days 4.08% and posted a 12-month total return 27.23%, with longer-term results softer. A narrative fair value of CA$20.12 sits above the current price, underscoring the assumptions behind the upside. The shares trade at a P/E 67.5x, well above North American Luxury industry at 23.6x and peers at 61.7x, and above a fair multiple of 27x. Growth drivers include faster product innovation and expansion into non-winter categories, broadening seasonality and supporting margins. Risks include softer UK/Japan traffic and higher marketing spend. The path to closing the gap depends on durable revenue growth and a stronger earnings lift, versus a more challenging travel backdrop.

Komatsu (TSE:6301) shows undervaluation after multi-year gains, per DCF analysis

January 11, 2026, 12:27 AM EST. Komatsu trades around ¥5,187 in Tokyo, after multi-year gains. Over the last 12 months, returns sit at 28.9%, with 3-year and 5-year gains of 98.1% and 108.6%.

Intrinsic value: ¥7,978.79 per share, implying about a 35% discount to the current price. The stock trades at a P/E of 11.32x, below the Machinery industry average.

BioStem Technologies valuation under scrutiny after recent share-price strength (BSEM)

January 11, 2026, 12:26 AM EST. BioStem Technologies (BSEM) shares jumped 17.6% in the latest session, with gains extending over the past week, month and quarter. The move follows a mixed longer view: a 1-year total return down 66.7% but a 5-year gain of 199.4%, suggesting renewed momentum. The stock last closed at US$5.00 and trades on a P/E of 4.2x-well below the US Pharmaceuticals industry average of 19.6x and peers at about 9.3x. Earnings rose 27.4% year over year; ROE is 40.4% and revenue growth is minimal at roughly 0.1% annually. The stock shows an intrinsic discount of about 82% alongside an analyst target well above the last close. A discounted cash flow model puts fair value near US$27.53, creating a sizable valuation gap amid execution risks.

Air Canada seen undervalued by DCF, despite recent share-price weakness

January 11, 2026, 12:25 AM EST. Air Canada (TSX: AC) has traded choppily as investors weigh industry risk against travel-demand recovery. In the last month, the stock rose 5.4%; over one year it is down 11.2%, and over three years down 10.9%. Simply Wall St gives a 6/6 valuation score. A two-stage Discounted Cash Flow to Equity model (DCF; discounted cash flows) puts intrinsic value at CA$55.26 a share, implying a ~64.8% gap to the current price and an undervalued read. The stock trades at P/S of 0.26x, far below airline peers (0.65x) and a 26.26x peer average. Context matters: growth and risk drive multiples, so the fair ratio is 1.13x. The result hinges on demand and cost dynamics.

Tilray Brands valuation under scrutiny after share weakness; fair value eyed at $16.17

January 11, 2026, 12:24 AM EST. Tilray Brands (TLRY) faces no single headline, but weaker momentum across cannabis, beverage, distribution and wellness segments. The stock rose 0.5% today but trails negative returns over the past week, month, three months and year. With a last close at $9.18, momentum has cooled: 30-day price return down 24.44% and 1-year TSR down 25.37%. Bulls point to a fair value around $16.17, implying a sizable gap between price and implied worth. The balance sheet remains robust, with substantial cash and ongoing debt reduction, supporting expansion and acquisitions; but ongoing net losses and slower U.S. cannabis progress introduce risk. Investors should weigh dilution risk and the longer-haul margin path when forming a thesis.

Surgery Partners fair value trimmed as analysts reset expectations

January 11, 2026, 12:09 AM EST. Analysts trim targets as the fair value for Surgery Partners settles around $25.45 per share, shy of the prior $25.73. The update reflects models reset for payer mix pressures, softer volumes, and a slower acquisition pace, not a full derailment of the story. The discount rate climbs to about 8.60%, signaling cautious earnings visibility while core growth stays largely intact. On the bullish side, Mizuho, RBC Capital, BofA, and Jefferies keep positive or Outperform ratings even as they trim targets, citing a favorable M&A backdrop and balance-sheet progress. On the bearish side, Barclays cuts to $18; Mizuho to $22, with volume headwinds and payer-mix risk underpinning the downgrades. Overall, near-term pressures temper price targets across firms.

Syrma SGS Technology's High P/E Reflects Strong Earnings Outlook, Analysts Say

January 11, 2026, 12:08 AM EST. SYRMA trades at a P/E of 60.4x, well above India's market average near 24x. The gap signals growth expectations more than current profits. Last year delivered a 112% rise in net income, and three-year EPS grew about 89%. Analysts expect about 33% annual earnings growth over the next three years, faster than the market's ~20% pace. That outlook helps justify the premium, though a slowing trajectory could test investor confidence. In essence, the high P/E mirrors a belief that earnings will sustain their momentum. Risks exist; one warning sign has been flagged by analysts. Still, the stock appears priced for continued earnings expansion rather than a near-term decline.

Principal Financial Group valuation diverges: market price vs. DCF

January 11, 2026, 12:02 AM EST. Principal Financial Group (PFG) closed at $90.29, with a 90-day return of 13.33% and a 1-year total return of 22.86%, underscoring momentum despite a softer one-day move. The company reported revenue of $15.8 billion and net income of $1.57 billion. An Intrinsic value model points to a 57% discount to the current price, fueling the debate over whether PFG is undervalued or fairly priced. Analysts' consensus target sits around $86, with a range from $72 to $101. In contrast, a DCF result used by the report puts a fair value at about $210.65, suggesting a sizable gap between market price and discounted cash flows. Key risks cited include fee revenue headwinds and softer dental pricing.

The shares closed near US$107.75, up 2.06% on the day and up 14.36% over 30 days, with a 1-year total return of 67.11%. Revenue was US$806.224 million and net income a loss of US$34.608 million. Analysts see a target around US$108. Our work flags a large gap to the DCF fair value of US$153.83-about 30%-while a narrative fair value sits at US$106.25. The stock trades at a P/S ratio of ~2x, below the aerospace/defense average but above a neutral 1.1x benchmark, implying potential valuation risk if optimism fades. Upside hinges on continued revenue growth (around 7.5% per year for three years) and margin gains, tempered by aerospace cycles and defense-budget volatility.
