Global Sugar Output Rises, Pressuring Prices

Analysts anticipate a global sugar surplus of 4.7 MMT for 2025-26, pressuring prices, though the surplus is expected to shrink in 2026-27. The International Sugar Organization forecasts a 1.625 MMT surplus, driven by strong production from India, Thailand, and Pakistan.

Compass Group Delivers 86% Total Return Over Five Years Despite Recent Slump
January 25, 2026, 2:29 AM EST. Compass Group PLC (LON:CPG) shareholders have earned a notable 86% total shareholder return (TSR) over five years, outperforming its 71% share price increase and the market's 75% rise over the same period. The TSR accounts for dividends reinvested, highlighting their importance in boosting returns. Despite a 15% share price drop in the last quarter, the company has delivered 60% annual earnings per share (EPS) growth over five years, far outpacing the 11% annual share price gain, suggesting market pessimism. Insider buying recently signals confidence, while long-term shareholders realize about a 13% annual gain. The recent pullback may present an opportunity if growth fundamentals hold steady.

Annual earnings per share (EPS) grew 16%, while share price gains averaged 20%, indicating increased investor confidence and market re-rating. Despite a slower 26% return in the 12 months to January 2026, Halma's performance remains solid compared to the 9% five-year TSR. Analysts will watch future revenue growth potential closely. Insider activity could further illuminate confidence levels. Halma's mix of EPS growth and dividends makes it a stock worth monitoring for long-term investors seeking outperformance beyond average market returns.

Beyond year 10, terminal value is calculated using a growth rate linked to a 1.6% 10-year government bond yield, reinforcing a total intrinsic value around 41% above the current market price.

Despite strong past returns, a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model values the share much higher at NOK 198.18, implying a 71.3% undervaluation. The DCF model, which estimates future cash flows and discounts them to present value, suggests a significant gap between Hafnia's current price and its intrinsic worth. Investors watch closely as this oil and shipping firm's valuation score is 5 out of 6, indicating favorable metrics. This raises questions about whether it's late to buy or still an opportunity amid ongoing energy and market shifts.
Dollar Dips to 3.5-Month Low as Precious Metals Soar
January 25, 2026, 2:11 AM EST. The dollar index slid to a 3.5-month low, down 0.82%, pressured by yen strength fueled by possible Japanese government intervention in forex markets.

The euro rose 0.6% to a 4-month high, boosted by stronger Eurozone manufacturing PMI data. Meanwhile, the USD/JPY pair dropped 1.67%, reflecting yen volatility amid intervention speculation.

Analysts cite concerns over higher commercial auto reserve risks and slower premium growth, which have led to a downward revision of the price target to $81.50.

Investors should weigh these risks against the company's fundamentals and growth outlook when evaluating the stock's valuation.

The International Energy Agency lowered its 2026 global crude surplus forecast, while U.S. production estimates rose slightly. These factors collectively underpin the bullish momentum in oil markets amid ongoing global uncertainties.
Micron Technology Set to Lead AI Memory Market Growth in 2026
January 25, 2026, 1:12 AM EST. Micron Technology (MU) is capitalizing on a significant supply-demand imbalance in the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) market, critical for AI processing. The chipmaker reported a 57% year-over-year revenue increase to $13.6 billion in Q1 fiscal 2026, with gross margins nearing 57% and projections to expand to 68%. Micron is sold out through 2026, underscoring strong demand. The HBM market is forecasted to grow at a 40% compound annual growth rate, potentially reaching $100 billion by 2028. Despite a 38% year-to-date stock rise, Micron's forward P/E ratio around 12 suggests the stock remains fairly valued amid industry averages in the mid-20s. Risks include potential AI adoption slowdowns, but Micron's expansion plans seek to mitigate supply constraints. Investors should watch Micron for further growth opportunities in AI memory.

The move coincides with a 32.62% surge in 30-day share price, despite a 41.01% decline over one year and mixed recent returns. Valuation remains contentious: Boss trades at a premium price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 10.3x versus industry average of 9.5x and a fair P/S estimate of 0.7x, signaling overvaluation amid losses of A$34.168 million. However, discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis suggests intrinsic value at A$4.50 per share, roughly 58% above current price.

A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis estimates the stock's intrinsic value at about $1,834 per share, suggesting it is roughly 74% undervalued against its current $480 price. The DCF model projects Madrigal's free cash flow turning positive and growing to $1.78 billion by 2030. For early-stage pharmaceutical companies like Madrigal, the Price to Sales (P/S) ratio is also a key valuation metric due to ongoing investment-driven losses. Investors should weigh these valuation insights amidst the biotech sector's volatility and Madrigal's development pipeline progress.
