Allstate shares pull back; Excess Returns model flags strong undervaluation
January 17, 2026, 2:37 AM EST. Allstate (ALL) shares have pulled back after a breakout multi-year run. The stock has advanced 64.1% over 3 years and 96.9% over 5 years but is down 9.4% in 7 days, 8.0% in 30 days, and 5.7% year-to-date from a last close of $192.28; the 1-year return is 3.8%. The valuation check scores 6 out of 6. On Approach 1 (Excess Returns), the intrinsic value per share is about $583.45 versus the current price, implying an approximate 67% discount and signaling the stock as undervalued. The article also sketches a second approach-P/E-to frame value through earnings against price, with the broader context of risk, capital strength, and growth in the U.S. insurance sector.
UMB Financial at $122: Is the stock undervalued after price stability?
January 17, 2026, 2:36 AM EST. UMB Financial trades around $122, with modest recent gains (0.4% weekly, 2.6% monthly). The 3.6% return over the past year trails peers, even as the stock has risen about 51.2% over three years and 76.6% over five. Simply Wall St rates the stock 3 of 6 on valuation. Two models frame the debate. The Excess Returns approach yields an intrinsic value of about $243.75 a share, implying roughly 50% upside to the current price. Separately, a P/E view links multiples to growth and risk, noting that what counts as normal depends on outlook. Net takeaway: the stock appears to be undervalued according to the Excess Returns framework, though the P/E picture remains work in progress.
Compass stock seen undervalued after 90% surge; DCF implies ~12% discount
January 17, 2026, 2:35 AM EST. Compass closed at $12.86 after a 90.2% rally over the past year. It gained 22.1% in 30 days and 22.5% year to date, with a 0.2% weekly move. The company is described as a tech-driven, agent-focused real estate brokerage platform amid housing-market shifts. On valuation, Compass scores 3 of 6, signaling it is undervalued on half the metrics. A two-stage DCF yields an intrinsic value around $14.65 per share, about 12.2% above the current price. A price-to-sales check is used as a cross-check for growth and risk. The result points to a valuation gap influenced by sentiment and growth prospects in housing tech.
ICON (ICLR) undervalued after DCF signals; investors weigh long-term upside amid price weakness
January 17, 2026, 2:34 AM EST. ICON's price weakness invites a recheck of its fundamentals. A two-stage DCF model values the stock at about $238.55 a share, a 23.5% discount to the current price and an undervalued signal. The projection uses a trailing free cash flow of roughly $980.9 million and forecasts $1,180.9 million by 2030. Near term returns are muted: 0.7% over the past week, 1.8% over the past month, and an overall -7.8% in the last 12 months. Longer horizons show declines versus peers (3-year and 5-year losses). ICON remains active in contract research and clinical development, with a 4/6 value score. The takeaway, as always, depends on your risk tolerance and view of the long-term growth outlook.
Stocks finish lower as yields rise; Fed chair uncertainty weighs on markets
January 17, 2026, 2:33 AM EST. U.S. stocks closed slightly lower as yields climbed. The S&P 500 finished down 0.06%, the Dow down 0.17% and the Nasdaq-100 down 0.07%. The 10-year Treasury yield rose to about 4.23%, a 4.5-month high, as Trump signaled a hawkish Fed Chair pick, damping near-term rate-cut expectations. Early gains in chips faded as yields rose, though AI-spend optimism helped at the open. December manufacturing rose 0.2% and November was revised to +0.3%; the NAHB housing index fell to 37. Q4 earnings stay solid, with Bloomberg Intelligence forecasting S&P earnings up about 8.4% for the quarter, ex-Magnificent Seven around 4.6%. Overseas markets closed lower. The Jan 27-28 FOMC meeting is priced with roughly a 5% chance of a 25-bp cut.

January 17, 2026, 2:31 AM EST. Canada Goose Holdings Inc. (TSE:GOOS) shares fell 3.4% Friday, trading as low as C$17.66 and settling near C$17.91. Volume reached 352,657 shares, about 146% above the 143,324-share average. The prior close was C$18.54.

In the latest quarter, Canada Goose reported a loss per share of C$0.14 on revenue of C$272.6 million, with a net margin of 5.49% and ROE of 18.01%. Analysts expect approximately C$1.62 earnings per share for the year.
Nasdaq seen rising in 2026 as AI wave supports gains; Amazon highlighted as AI stock to watch
January 17, 2026, 2:30 AM EST. The Nasdaq could rise in 2026 as AI and quantum computing stay in focus. The AI market, now around $300 billion, could grow toward the trillions by decade's end. Amazon stands out as a stock with AI upside and a broad base in e-commerce and AWS. In 2025 the shares gained about 5%, supported by AI-driven efficiency in fulfillment and AWS expansion, including chips and the managed service Bedrock. AWS revenue drive helps a reported annual run rate near $132 billion. The stock trades near 30x forward earnings, a pullback from the highs of earlier years. That multiple may appeal to investors seeking exposure to AI without sky-high valuations. In sum, the Nasdaq could climb in 2026, with Amazon positioned as a measured AI play.
Ryder System shares appear overvalued after multi-year gains, valuation checks show
January 17, 2026, 2:15 AM EST.Ryder System's stock trades at US$190.74, after a 3-year gain of about 120.6% and a 1.8% drop year-to-date. Simply Wall St's valuation scores 2/6 on its 6-point checklist. The Dividend Discount Model (DDM) – which estimates value from expected dividend payments – yields an intrinsic value of US$67.57 per share. That compares with the current price, suggesting the stock is roughly 182.3% above this dividend-based estimate, i.e., overvalued. The company also trades at a price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 15.40x, seen as modest for a stock with growth expectations. Ryder's dividend per share is US$3.58, supported by ROE of 16.36% and a payout ratio of 27.49%. In short, valuation signals conflict with recent price action.
Sensex, Nifty end week flat as Q3 earnings hopes buoy sentiment; IT and banks lead gains
January 17, 2026, 2:14 AM EST. Indian benchmarks closed the week unchanged as investors eyed Q3 earnings and renewed India-US trade discussions, while caution persisted amid geopolitical tensions. Nifty finished the week up 0.04% at 25,694, gaining 0.11% on Friday; Sensex rose 187 points, or 0.23%, on the session to 83,570, but eased 0.01% for the week. Analysts said Q3 results, especially in IT and banks, underpin growth and demand expectations. The IT sector lifted sentiment after a bellwether guided revenue higher; banks showed improving asset quality and earnings. FIIs remained risk-averse in EMs as yields edged up. Bank Nifty closed with a bullish candlestick; RSI around 61 corroborates strength. Broader indices outperformed the benchmarks, with Nifty Midcap 100 up 0.20% and Smallcap 100 up 0.46% ahead of key global data, including US PCE and GDP prints and a tariff verdict from the US Supreme Court.
Fortuna Mining 2026 guidance nudges output higher; focus on Diamba Sud and Séguéla expansions
January 17, 2026, 1:43 AM EST. Fortuna Mining reported Q4 2025 gold-equivalent output of 65,130 ounces and full-year production of 279,207 ounces, with 2026 guidance of 281,000 to 305,000 GEO from ongoing operations after divesting San Jose and Yaramoko. The company outlined growth plans, including a potential construction decision at Diamba Sud and a feasibility review to expand the Séguéla processing plant. The update reinforces a near-term production story but keeps the main catalysts tied to these West Africa projects rather than broader asset sales. Investors face a concentrated asset base and exposure to permitting and regulatory risk in West Africa, which could cap upside if timelines slip or costs rise. The guidance signals slight volume improvement, but the key test remains execution of Diamba Sud and Séguéla and the ability to offset losses from divested assets.

Rocket Lab valuation signals mixed after sharp rally; DCF flags overvaluation
January 17, 2026, 1:15 AM EST. Rocket Lab Corp. (RKLB) has surged, sparking questions about whether the current price still reflects fundamentals. The stock has posted gains of about 13.5% over a week, 78.5% in 30 days, and triple-digit returns over the past year, with a multi-year climb in the hundreds of percent. Despite the momentum, valuation checks are weak: the stock scores 0 out of 6 on the latest assessment. A DCF (discounted cash flow) model using a two-stage free cash flow to equity approach yields a fair value of $73.25 per share, suggesting the shares are roughly 31.5% overvalued at current levels. A price-to-book cross-check is referenced but not completed. Investors should weigh the momentum against the valuation gaps and the company's path to profitability.

January 17, 2026, 1:13 AM EST. JinkoSolar Holding's stock closed at US$29.50, up 8.8% in seven days and 8.6% over 30 days. The rebound sits against a longer record that has declines, adding caution to the value story. Coverage notes JinkoSolar's role in the global solar supply chain and shifting sentiment toward solar names. Simply Wall St's six-point valuation checklist scores the stock 5 of 6, prompting a closer look at valuation methods. A DCF model using a two-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity framework yields an intrinsic value of US$83.25 per share, implying a roughly 64.6% discount to the current price and an undervalued read. A P/S ratio of about 0.15x sits below the semiconductor industry average, signaling potential upside if growth holds.

Graphic Packaging faces questions after a $21 million exit as shares fall 43%
January 17, 2026, 12:56 AM EST. Howard Capital Management Group disclosed via a January 16 SEC filing that it sold its entire stake in Graphic Packaging Holding Co (GPK), 1,069,223 shares, worth about $20.92 million. The move comes as the stock trades around $15.28 and has fallen 43.51% over the past year, lagging the S&P 500 by roughly 60 percentage points. Graphic Packaging provides fiber-based packaging for food and consumer brands. In the most recent quarter, volumes slipped 2% and sales declined 1% to $2.19 billion; adjusted EBITDA dropped 11% as pricing pressure and input costs mounted. Net leverage rose to 3.9x from 3.0x, driven by spending on the Waco facility. The combination highlights operating leverage risks if demand softens.
ADP undervalued after DCF model suggests 21% gap to price
January 17, 2026, 12:55 AM EST. Automatic Data Processing (ADP) closed at $260.44, down 2.1% in the last week and 1.9% over 30 days, with a 3.0% rise year to date. The stock is down 10.1% over 12 months, up 17.3% over three years, and 78.4% over five. A valuation score of 4 out of 6 accompanies the stock as a major payroll and human capital management provider. In a two-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity model, trailing FCF is about $4.16 billion; projected FCF in 2028 is $5.58 billion, yielding an intrinsic value of about $330.65 per share. That implies a discount of roughly 21% to the current price. A second approach using P/E is outlined, but results aren't provided in this excerpt.
UOB's low-coupon AT1 issue aims to anchor capital strength and funding flexibility
January 17, 2026, 12:26 AM EST. United Overseas Bank priced an SGD 850 million 3.00% Additional Tier 1 perpetual security under its US$30 billion Global Medium Term Note programme, with first call in 2033 and distributions reset every seven years off the 7-year SORA-OIS plus a 0.94% spread. The low-coupon AT1 issue is designed to qualify as regulatory capital and could set a benchmark for SGD bank perpetual yields. It underscores capital strength and funding flexibility as UOB heads into full-year 2025 results in February, when investors will scrutinize margins, fee income and capital deployment. Ongoing share buybacks add another layer to the narrative, illustrating how UOB balances balance-sheet resilience with shareholder returns, even as net interest margin compression remains a key risk.
Sony Group appears overvalued on DCF, trading about 20% above intrinsic value
January 17, 2026, 12:25 AM EST. Sony Group's shares closed at ¥3,852, up 26.4% in the last year and up 80.2% over three years, 98.7% over five, even as they slipped 0.6% in the past week. Simply Wall St's valuation scoring gives the stock 3 out of 6, noting a price that looks set against its fundamentals. The analysis uses a two-stage Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model built on Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCF); the latest twelve-month FCF is about ¥1.52 billion, with projected annual FCF of roughly ¥1.17-1.21 billion through 2030. Discounting and a terminal value yield an intrinsic value of ¥3,198 per share, meaning the current price of ¥3,852 implies about a 20.5% premium and an overvalued stance. The piece also references the price-earnings context amid mixed sentiment toward Sony's diverse businesses.
Globalstar (GSAT) remains overvalued after 112% year rise; DCF signals 278% premium
January 17, 2026, 12:24 AM EST. Globalstar's GSAT shares have surged about 112% over the last year, even as short-term moves flicker and the year-to-date performance remains down. The stock scores 0/6 on valuation checks. A Discounted Cash Flow model using a 2-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity framework yields an intrinsic value of $15.91 per share, implying the current price is about 278.2% above that estimate. In short, the model flags the stock as overvalued. The analysis notes the role of the P/S ratio when earnings are volatile, but the main takeaway is that valuation checks and recent momentum diverge for Globalstar. Investors should approach new bets with caution given the equity's stretched valuation.
Booking Holdings pulled back; DCF model signals undervaluation

The analysis notes Booking Holdings scores 4 out of 6 on valuation, framing ongoing debate about fair value amid sector headlines on travel activity.
P10 (PX) valuation under scrutiny after price rally; P/E at 76.9x, DCF fair value near $0.51
January 17, 2026, 12:11 AM EST. P10 (PX) has gained about 8% in the last month and roughly 2% in the last three months, even as the stock remains down about 19% over the past year. The shares trade at a lofty 76.9x trailing earnings, well above the US Capital Markets industry average of 25.7x and a peer average of 8.8x. Analysts show a 48% discount to the average price target, underscoring a split between sentiment and targets. Simply Wall St's DCF model implies a fair value around $0.51 at the last close of $10.71, signaling a wide gap between price and cash-flow-based value. Such a premium multiple and a recent TSR drop suggest risk if execution falters or appetite for alternatives shifts. Investors should weigh potential upside against near-term downside.
