Hunting PLC posts 2025 EBITDA of $135 million; 2026 guidance and Subsea target raised
January 13, 2026, 3:07 AM EST. Hunting PLC reported 2025 EBITDA of about $135 million, up 7% year on year, with an EBITDA margin near 13%. The year-end order book reached about $350 million after large KOC and Exxon awards.

Under its Hunting 2030 plan, Subsea Technologies sales are targeted at $470 million by 2030; by 2028 revenue near $230 million and EBITDA around $50 million, about 26% of group EBITDA.
Market bets on Wednesday rally if Supreme Court overturns Trump tariffs
January 13, 2026, 3:05 AM EST. Investors watch the Supreme Court as it weighs challenges to President Trump's tariffs under the IEEPA (International Emergency Economic Powers Act). The author predicts a stock-market rally on Wednesday if the Court overturns those tariffs, arguing relief would lift risk assets. Polymarket shows odds on the Court upholding prior rulings against the tariffs, while Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi links tariffs to weaker job growth. If the tariffs are reversed, a positive read on equities and other risk assets could follow; otherwise the outlook remains mixed as policy and legal clarity lingers.
Seatrium climbs as Maersk wind-vessel handover deadline nears; oil gains support
January 13, 2026, 3:04 AM EST. Seatrium Ltd shares rose 2.2% to S$2.29 by mid-afternoon, trimming losses earlier in January and lifting the year-to-date gain to about 6%. Oil markets firmed, with Brent around $64.11 a barrel as supply concerns from Iran and tariff talk pressure pricing. Investors are eyeing the delivery timetable for a wind-vessel (a turbine installation vessel) tied to a Maersk dispute and the pace of new order wins that would support cash flow. In the settlement, Maersk agreed to pay $360 million of the remaining $475 million; roughly $250 million is structured as a 10-year loan. Seatrium aims to hand over the vessel by Feb 28, 2026, with a potential upfront payment. Risks include delivery hiccups, legacy-project setbacks and crude-price swings; the Feb. 28 milestone remains pivotal.

Cactus (WHD) valuation split after price strength as DCF diverges from narrative
January 13, 2026, 2:51 AM EST. Cactus (WHD) closes at $51.28 after a 90-day rally of 45.43% and a 30-day gain of 11.07%. The stock carries a value score of 4 and an indicated intrinsic discount of 36.75%, prompting a reassessment of how the business- spanning pressure control and spoolable pipe technologies- is priced. The most-watched narrative pins fair value at $48.63, implying the stock is overvalued by about 5.5% as price sits above that framework. Analysts' targets range from $39.00 to $56.00, with a consensus near $49.63. In contrast, a DCF view puts fair value at $81.08, suggesting a 36.8% discount to the current price. Risks: input costs, drilling activity, and customer spending affecting margins and revenue.
Spotlight on UK penny stocks with market caps under £200M
January 13, 2026, 2:41 AM EST. UK markets closed lower as the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 retreat on weak China trade data. Against that backdrop, several penny stocks with market caps under £200M attract note for potential upside. The screener flags names such as DSW Capital (£16.96M) and Ingenta (£16.83M), both with high financial health ratings from Simply Wall St. Warpaint London (£155.11M) and Michelmersh Brick Holdings (£75.7M) also appear, along with M.T.I. Wireless Edge (£43.96M) and Begbies Traynor (£186.68M). Impax Asset Management Group (£182.15M) and Kromek Group (£79.27M) sit near the upper end, while Reabold Resources (£13.25M) remains pre-revenue. A Siemens Healthineers deal supports Kromek's revenue guidance for H1 2026, but volatility and earnings risk persist across smaller caps.
Allegiant Travel (ALGT) appears undervalued after price decline, per DCF model
January 13, 2026, 2:40 AM EST. Allegiant Travel shares closed at $89.01, down 4.5% in the past week, with a mixed longer-term profile. Under a six-metric valuation framework, the stock scores 3/6. A DCF model using a 2-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity gives an intrinsic value of about $984.05 a share, implying a 91% discount to the current price and labeling the stock undervalued. The model assumes cash flows through 2035, with last twelve months' FCF a loss of about $208.3 million; projected FCF rises to $270.1 million in 2028. A P/S cross-check is cited for airlines given earnings volatility. Investors will weigh demand trends and route adjustments against the longer-term valuation picture.
Dollar General: DCF Signals Undervaluation After 1-Year Rally
January 13, 2026, 2:39 AM EST. Dollar General Corp. (DG) last traded at $148.86, up 112% over the past year but down 32% over three years and 24% over five years. The stock carries a valuation score of 1 out of 6, signaling mixed signals rather than a clear value call. A two-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model yields an intrinsic value of $171.52 per share, about 13.2% above the current price, suggesting the shares may be undervalued based on cash flows. Valuation work also uses the price-to-earnings lens, tied to growth expectations and earnings risk. Investors weigh whether sentiment and risk align with the current level as market expectations shift. Note: DCF stands for discounted cash flow, a method to estimate value from future cash streams.
Is Subaru (TSE:7270) Too Pricey After a 5-Year Rally?
January 13, 2026, 2:38 AM EST. Subaru last closed at ¥3,396. It has returned 33.1% over 12 months and 98.7% over five years, with 3-year gains near 90%. A valuation score of 3/6 frames a mixed view. A two-stage DCF model yields an intrinsic value of ¥2,327.03 per share, implying the stock is about 45.9% overvalued on this basis. The stock trades at a P/E of 9.15x, well below the auto industry average of 17.96x and peers at 14.23x; Simply Wall St puts a fair P/E around 14.94x. LTM free cash flow is ¥263,419.85m, with projected ¥120,335m by March 2030. The analysis notes themes like EV adoption, supply-chain resilience and shifting consumer preferences as relevant risks and opportunities for long-term investors.
ABB: DCF flags overvaluation at CHF 60.64 after multi-year gains
January 13, 2026, 2:37 AM EST. ABB trades at CHF 60.64 after a 1% weekly dip. The stock has gained 27.1% in the last year and 174.6% over five years, drawing growth and risk debate. It scores 1 of 6 on the valuation check, signaling potential overvaluation. A two-stage DCF using US-dollar cash flows returns an intrinsic value of US$41.98 per share, about 44.5% below the price. In short, the model flags the stock as expensive. The P/E sits near 31.1x, consistent with a long-established player in electrification and automation. Analysts caution that capex and infrastructure cycles could shift sentiment. Trailing twelve-month free cash flow is around US$4.18b; projections through 2026-2035 stay above US$5b, but extend beyond the usual five-year window.
Silvercorp Metals (TSX:SVM) valuation near fair value as momentum builds
January 13, 2026, 2:36 AM EST. Silvercorp Metals (TSX:SVM) drew attention after robust momentum. The shares closed at CA$13.48, up 5.5% on the day, with a 30-day rise around 20% and a 1-year total return near 198%. Revenue is CA$323.391 million, net income CA$25.155 million. The current price sits near an analyst fair value of CA$13.62, implying only a small gap to value. The fair-value narrative relies on higher growth and margins with a modest discount rate, but the stock trades at a P/E of 85.1x versus industry 23.7x and a peer average of 56.6x, signaling valuation risk if sentiment falters. Upside could come from El Domo and Kuanping progress and diversification beyond China; risks include regulatory shifts or higher project costs.
Live Nation Entertainment valuation: fair value near $170 as stock sits at $148.85
January 13, 2026, 2:35 AM EST. Analysts' model pins a fair value of $170.24 for LYV, implying a modest upside from $148.85, though the stock trades at an elevated multiple. The discussion notes LYV's 1-year TSR around 14% and a 3-year gain near 99%, with 7.75% annual revenue growth and 41.15% net income growth supporting optimism. However, the price-to-earnings multiple around 107x vs 40x peer/fair values raises valuation risk if growth fails to materialize. The upside rests on compound revenue growth, rising margins and higher future earnings power, but regulatory and antitrust headwinds around Ticketmaster and potential reforms could pressure margins. Investors are urged to review the full narrative and consider their risk tolerance.
Booz Allen Hamilton Seen Undervalued After DCF Implies $168.62 per Share (BAH)
January 13, 2026, 2:34 AM EST. Booz Allen Hamilton Holding (BAH) trades at $96.77 after a mixed run, up 8.3% last week and 14.0% year to date, but down 26.8% over the past year. On a six-point valuation framework, the stock scores 5 of 6, suggesting it screens as undervalued on key checks. A two-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCF) DCF model values intrinsic share at about $168.62, implying a roughly 42.6% discount to the current price. The model uses a trailing twelve-month FCF of about $818.1 million, with projected FCF of $967.1 million through 2028 and growth through 2035. The analysis notes Booz Allen's positioning in government and commercial consulting as a driver of sentiment and potential value.
Keppel climbs after SGX filing as investors eye February results
January 13, 2026, 2:32 AM EST. Keppel Ltd shares rose about 3% in afternoon trading, lifting gains for 2026 among Singapore blue chips. The move followed the company's announcement that the member's voluntary liquidation of its dormant unit, Keppel Technology and Innovation Pte. Ltd., is complete; the filing noted no financial impact. (voluntary liquidation means a solvent wind-down by owners.) Attention shifts to February results and guidance, with investors watching for asset sales and fee income. The Straits Times Index is up roughly 2% year to date, underscoring a positive start to 2026. Keppel is pivoting from a traditional conglomerate to a manager/operator of real assets, a shift tied to recurring income and asset monetization, but the near-term outlook remains mixed amid market volatility and China real estate concerns. Keppel will report H2/FY2025 on Feb. 5 before the open; earlier REIT results run Jan 30-Feb 4.

The CmdtyView cash price slipped to $3.83 1/4 per bushel. Private export sales included 204,000 MT to South Korea and 310,000 MT to unknown destinations, though the price action largely ignored the news. The USDA Crop Production report showed US yield at 186.5 bpa, up 0.5 bpa from November, with harvested acres at 91.3 million and production at 17.021 billion bushels. The Grain Stocks report put December 1 stocks at 13.282 bbu, above estimates, while WASDE raised ending stocks to 2.227 bbu. World stocks rose to 290.91 MMT.

The screen highlights a broader set with discounts around 47-49%.

Asia-Pacific equities rose overnight; U.S. futures were softer as investors await CPI data and bank results, including JPMorgan. No major European earnings or data releases are scheduled.

UK dividend stocks offer steady income as FTSE 100 falters
January 13, 2026, 2:01 AM EST. With the FTSE 100 slipping as Chinese trade data weakens and commodity prices ease, investors seek stable income.

The takeaway: investors chase income in a volatile market, using the screener to spot opportunities.
NGEx Minerals Valuation in Focus After Lunahuasi Drill Results; DCF Indicates CA$59.13 Fair Value
January 13, 2026, 1:52 AM EST. NGEx Minerals (TSX:NGEX) reported Phase 4 Lunahuasi drill results in Argentina, including new high-grade gold intersections and ahead-of-schedule drilling. The update helped push the stock higher; 30-day return at 18.7% and a multi-year rally. Trailing metrics show a CA$29.78 share price, a DCF fair value of CA$59.13, and a P/B multiple of 49.1x versus peers around 7.4x and sector 3.3x. The SWS DCF approach emphasizes future cash flows for a company with no revenue and a CA$111.62m net loss, rather than current earnings. The tension is clear: the market prices in ambitious future potential, but any setback at Lunahuasi could reverse sentiment given the rich balance sheet multiple. The story remains high risk, driven by drill results and project potential.
European penny stocks with market caps under €200M to watch
January 13, 2026, 1:50 AM EST. Markets in Europe rose, attracting interest in smaller firms. A European penny-stock screen shows names with market caps below €200 million. The picks emphasize solid financials and growth potential, but carry liquidity and earnings risks. Examples under the threshold include Orthex Oyj (€86.5M) and Lucisano Media Group (€15.5M). Also in the small-cap range: Libertas 7 (€65.8M). Very small caps appear with Dovre Group (€7.9M) and Netgem (€26.4M). By contrast, listings such as Angler Gaming trade above €200M (two listings around €226-€270M). Broader notes mention larger names like Cairo Communication and Kongsberg Automotive that sit above the cut. Investors should weigh the financial health indicators and growth trajectories while acknowledging penny stock volatility and liquidity constraints.
Hudbay Minerals jumps 5.8% on Mitsubishi's US$600 million Copper World deal
January 13, 2026, 1:49 AM EST. Hudbay Minerals rose about 5.8% after Mitsubishi Corp agreed to invest US$600 million for a 30% joint-venture stake in the Copper World project, financing the feasibility study and initial development. The deal adds a major industrial partner and external capital, reshaping how Hudbay funds a key growth project. It may ease balance-sheet pressure, but execution, permitting, cost inflation, and jurisdictional risks remain central. Hudbay notes a one-off gain of roughly US$325.6 million in the past twelve months, which investors should separate from core cash flow when assessing growth capacity. Long-range forecasts under peer analyses show revenue growth toward 2028, though fair-value estimates vary widely.
Sirius XM seen undervalued after price weakness with fair value at $24
January 13, 2026, 1:48 AM EST.Sirius XM Holdings (SIRI) trades around $20.96 after a 3.8% weekly drop and a 3.6% monthly slide. The stock shows a 2.2% year-to-date return and a 3.2% total return over one year, but 3- and 5-year totals remain deeply negative. A fair value narrative from Simply Wall St sets a $24 target, implying the stock is undervalued if a 2028 earnings multiple of about 9.3x can be justified, versus the 20.3x industry average. Risks include subscription and advertising revenue declines and heavy reliance on auto-related subscriber growth. The article notes the analysis is not financial advice and presents the view as one narrative rather than a buy/sell recommendation.

Algonquin Power & Utilities Valuation Mixed After Momentum Run
January 13, 2026, 1:46 AM EST. Algonquin Power & Utilities (TSX:AQN) has drawn fresh attention after recent price moves. The stock trades at CA$8.83, with a 30-day return of 9.01% and a 90-day return of 5.50%. A 1-year total shareholder return stands at 48.75%, while the 5-year TSR is 45.49%, signaling momentum after a weaker longer-term stretch. The intrinsic valuation suggests a CA$18.82 fair value, implying the current CA$8.83 price trades at about a 53% discount to intrinsic value. The most-followed fair value narrative pegs CA$8.33; the price sits slightly above that anchor. Analysts' consensus target is CA$7.369, with a range from CA$9.06 (bullish) to CA$6.01 (bearish). Risks include regulatory delays and ongoing billing and IT issues. The gap between a high-conviction DCF and narrative signals creates uncertainty about upside.

January 13, 2026, 1:29 AM EST. SEALSQ (LAES) shares closed at US$4.35 after a brief rebound, up 4.57% in the session and 3.33% over seven days, even as the stock remains down about 41.9% in 90 days.

AAR Corp valuation after earnings turnaround, TRIUMPH deal, and raised full-year guidance
January 13, 2026, 1:16 AM EST. Air parts supplier AAR Corp (AIR) surged after a turnaround in earnings, raising full-year guidance and outlining acquisitions and a new TRIUMPH distribution agreement. The stock posted a 30-day return near 17% and a 1-year total return around 41%. With shares trading about 7% below the average analyst target and a fair value around $92.25, the setup implies a modest premium tied to execution risk. The company expanded MRO capacity in Oklahoma City and Miami-sold out before opening-positioning it to benefit from rising air travel and aging-fleet maintenance. Distribution growth has exceeded market pace, aligning with diversified inventory needs from commercial and government customers, suggesting potential for higher margins. Risks include softening demand or faster aftermarket expansion by OEMs.
Qorvo Valuation Under Scrutiny After Recent Price Weakness
January 13, 2026, 1:15 AM EST.Qorvo (QRVO) traded around $80.46 after a week of declines, with 7-day and 30-day losses of about 8.7% each, though the stock has a positive 1-year return of 10.5%. The shares sit at a discount to the average analyst target price of $100.50 and to the implied fair value of about $100.94. A valuation showing a P/E of 34.1x compares with a fair-value multiple near 29.4x and peers around 32.8x, suggesting upside may be capped if earnings do not surprise. Key risks include a 41% revenue concentration with a single customer and ongoing China- and regulatory-related uncertainty around the Skyworks merger. Analysts pencil in roughly 4% annual revenue growth over the next three years, shaping the risk-reward dynamics.
Nat-Gas prices rise as US weather turns colder, boosting heating demand
January 13, 2026, 1:13 AM EST. Feb Nymex natural gas (NGG26) futures jumped about 7.6% as colder US weather boosted heating demand. Forecasters flagged colder conditions in the Eastern US for Jan 17-21 and a continued chill in the north for Jan 22-26, supporting short covering. Last Friday's dip came after warmer forecasts reduced demand and allowed storage to rebuild. EIA raised its 2025 US gas production forecast to about 107.74 bcf/d, with current output near a record and Lower-48 demand around 101.1 bcf/d in early January. LNG net flows to terminals stood at about 20.1 bcf/d. The week ended Jan 3 saw a 6.7% year-over-year rise in US electricity output.

January 13, 2026, 1:00 AM EST. Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG shows a dispersed ownership profile. Individual investors hold 14% of LISN, the largest single bloc, while institutions own 7.1%.

UBS Asset Management AG is the largest holder at about 5.7%, with the second and third positions around 4.4% and 4.1%, respectively. The spread suggests governance remains influenced by a broad base of owners rather than a few insiders. Analysts note that institutional ownership can lend credibility, but large investors can move the price if they swap positions. Investors should also consider earnings history and other factors when assessing future performance.

Brookdale Senior Living valuation after rally points to upside as occupancy drives margins
January 13, 2026, 12:14 AM EST. Brookdale Senior Living (BKD) has rallied, up about 7.7% in the last month and 26.5% in the past quarter, lifting its 1-year total return to around 126% and 3-year roughly 3x. The stock trades near $11.06, with analysts pointing to a higher fair value of about $13.13, framing the rally as momentum rather than a peak. A continued occupancy cycle is cited as a key driver for adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, with some analysts applying a higher multiple if cash flow normalizes. The bull case assumes modest top-line growth, margin expansion, and a transition to positive earnings, discounted at 8.84% to justify $13.13. But risks include occupancy setbacks, labor pressures, and weaker community sales. Current P/S at 0.9x sits above peers and a fair 0.6x, signaling mixed signals on recovery.

The price also trades through a high P/E lens, depending on growth assumptions. Bottom line: the gap between current price and intrinsic value supports a cautious stance, with red flags noted in the valuation breakdown.
