January 9, 2026, 2:59 PM EST. Investors in 2026 are urged to monitor Canada's economy, with employment surprises shaping risk.

The firm is debt-free with a cash runway of more than three years, but the stock remains highly volatile and speculative. Other highlighted names show similar risk/return dynamics, underscoring the need for diligence.

Gap fair value near current price after multi-year gains; DCF implies intrinsic value around $26.91

January 9, 2026, 2:53 PM EST. Gap's stock closed at US$28.42, after returns of 11.0% in seven days and 8.7% in 30 days. It's up 12.8% year to date, 23.1% over 12 months, 148.1% over three years and 53.9% over five years. A valuation score of 3 out of 6 signals a mix of cheap and expensive signals using traditional metrics. A two-stage Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model pegs the per-share intrinsic value at about US$26.91, versus the current price, implying the stock is roughly 5.6% above this estimate. In short, Gap appears fairly valued today, though the picture can shift with changes in cash flow assumptions or discount rates. The analysis also highlights the role of the P/E ratio in framing earnings versus price.

Autodesk valuation check after recent share weakness (ADSK)

January 9, 2026, 2:51 PM EST. Autodesk (ADSK) has underperformed recently, posting negative returns over the 1-week, 1-month and 3-month windows. The stock is down 3.54% year to date, while the 3-year total shareholder return sits at 38.32%-a reminder of a stronger longer-term trajectory. Revenue next year is $6.9 billion with net income around $1.1 billion, both growing at double digits. The base case sees a fair value near $366 a share versus a close around $276.58, signaling a sizable valuation gap driven by growth and margin assumptions. AI tools like generative design and AutoConstrain are cited as enabling premium pricing, margin expansion and long-run earnings growth. Risks include pricing pressure from lower-cost rivals or AI investments failing to translate. Current P/E at 52.7x vs peers around 32.2x; a fair 38x multiple could cap upside.

Palantir's rally endures as growth mix shapes 2026 outlook

January 9, 2026, 2:50 PM EST. Palantir (PLTR) remains one of the market's top hypergrowth names, trading near $177-178 after a multi-year rise that outpaced the S&P 500. The company operates two data platforms-Gotham for government and Foundry for commercial clients-that help users extract insights from diverse sources. Growth slowed from 47% in 2020 and 41% in 2021 to 24% in 2022 and 17% in 2023, as government timing and macro headwinds weighed on the commercial book. GAAP profitability arrived in 2023, and Palantir joined the S&P 500 in 2024, with revenue up about 29% in 2024. Investors will weigh margins, the pace of government contracts, and the blended growth outlook against a roughly $422 billion market cap as they eye 2026, guided by a Rule of 40-style framework.

U.S. stocks climb toward record closes as jobs data boosts bets of Fed pause

January 9, 2026, 2:38 PM EST. U.S. stocks edged higher as the December jobs report and a looming Supreme Court tariff ruling set the tone for the week's close. The S&P 500 rose about 0.6%, the Dow gained around 0.5%, and the Nasdaq advanced roughly 0.7%, with all three flirting with record closing highs. The payroll report showed 50,000 jobs added in December and unemployment at 4.4%, supporting bets the Fed will hold rates steady at the next meeting. Traders also await a possible Supreme Court decision on tariffs that could reshape trade. On the policy front, Trump said he directed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to buy $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities to ease mortgage rates, while Venezuela developments keep headlines moving.

S&P 500 near all-time high to start 2026; is it smart to buy stocks?

January 9, 2026, 2:37 PM EST. With the S&P 500 near an all-time high to begin 2026, investors weigh risk vs reward. The index posted 26% total return in 2023, 25% in 2024, and 18% in 2025, and momentum carries into the new year. Market history shows every all-time high was preceded by a prior one, and highs tend to cluster, signaling optimism rather than panic. BlackRock analysts note the average one-year return for the S&P 500 when at an all-time high is about 7.6%, below the 8.8% typical on other days, but three-year and five-year horizons are higher for high-date entries, suggesting long-term investors still benefit from staying exposed. When compared with cash or Treasuries, the expected return at an all-time high remains attractive, even as bonds offer income. Investors should balance valuations with growth, AI worries, and job data.

LEG.AX slides 18% pre-market as catalysts to watch include Rockford results, earnings window

January 9, 2026, 2:34 PM EST. Legend Mining's LEG.AX opened sharply lower in pre-market trade, down 18.18% to A$0.009 on volume of 2.01 million shares (relative volume 2.98; vs. average 759,450). No new announcements cited. The company has a market cap around A$35 million, and no EPS or PE. Meyka AI rates LEG.AX 62.5/100 (Grade: HOLD). Technicals show 50-day MA at A$0.00902 and 200-day MA at A$0.00824, with RSI ~59 and CCI 154. The stock's low float could fuel intraday volatility. Near-term catalysts: Rockford project results and the upcoming earnings window (due March 12, 2026). Risks include potential dilution, a thin revenue base, and commodity-price swings.

Cocoa futures slump as exporters hedge ahead of West African harvest

January 9, 2026, 2:24 PM EST. Cocoa futures slide after exporters rush to hedges against the coming West Africa harvest, sending March NY cocoa (CCH26) down 11.62% and March London cocoa (CAH26) down 10.33%. The moves pull NY to a six-week low and London to a one-month low, pressured by a firmer dollar index that lifted to a four-week high. Traders say hedging activity followed a rally earlier in the week tied to index-related buying, with Peak Trading Research estimating about 37,000 cocoa futures contracts could be purchased as part of index rebalancing, representing roughly 31% of open interest. On the supply side, Ivory Coast harvests are underway; farmers report healthier pods, and shipments to ports are down about 3.3% year-to-date. The ICCO cut its 2024/25 surplus and production forecasts, while the market eyes potential BCOM inclusion of cocoa. Ivory Coast remains the top producer.

The shares dipped to as low as $29.50 and were off roughly 0.9% on the session.

Sugar Prices Slip as Dollar Strengthens; Brazil, India Output in Focus

January 9, 2026, 2:19 PM EST. March NY world sugar #11 (SBH26) is down 0.33% and March London ICE white sugar #5 (SWH26) off 0.28%. A stronger dollar pushed the DXY to a four-week high, weighing on sugar and most commodities. Losses are capped by expected index-related buying as funds rebalance; Citigroup projects about $1.2 billion in inflows into sugar futures for the BCOM and S&P GSCI indexes next week. Brazil's 2025/26 outlook stays bearish for prices after Conab raised production to 45 MMT and Unica showed Center-South output up 1.1% to 39.904 MMT through November; cane crush ratio rose. ISO pegs a 1.625 MMT sugar surplus in 2025/26, underscoring ample supply.

AMC CEO flags 2026 profitability as box-office recovery looms

January 9, 2026, 2:15 PM EST. AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron says the company is tightening efficiency and liquidity and pursuing new revenue initiatives ahead of a potential industry recovery in 2026. He cited a multi-year slump in U.S. and Canada box office and said 2026 could bring a material industry rebound that would flow to AMC's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) profitability given its market share. Aron highlighted balance-sheet discipline, debt reductions of about $2 billion over five years, and ample cash to weather rivals' strains. He warned there are no guarantees but the company remains confident in the long-term viability of theaters. Separately, AMC reported strong demand for Netflix's Stranger Things finale at 231 theaters, boosting in-theater revenue via food and beverage credits and underscoring AMC's share of event viewership.

Netflix-AMC ties may reshape cinema-streaming landscape into 2026

January 9, 2026, 2:14 PM EST. Renewed cooperation between Netflix and AMC Entertainment is gaining traction after years of friction over theatrical windows. Netflix reported more than 300 million global subscribers at end-2024, while AMC-the world's largest theater chain-has been wary of day-and-date releases. In recent months, the two companies staged joint events that fused streaming hits with theatrical showings. The KPop Demon Hunters Sing-Along drew more than 1,300 theaters in August, while a Halloween rerelease partnership and a Stranger Things cinema event drew hundreds of thousands of moviegoers, including 753,000 for the finale, about half of attendees. The market has noticed: AMC shares rose about 12% to around $1.63, and analysts see potential for more collaboration into 2026.

Five-year returns are up 44.8% but three-year losses persist. The swings spotlight value versus fundamentals. Simply Wall St rates KBR as undervalued, giving a perfect 6/6 on valuation checks.

Rain in Brazil, Dollar Rally Pushes Coffee Prices Lower

January 9, 2026, 2:05 PM EST. March arabica and March ICE robusta fell as forecasts for rain in central Brazil ease dryness worries. A firmer dollar index weighed on most commodities, including coffee. Vietnam's 2025 output is seen rising, with exports up 17.5% year on year to 1.58 million metric tons, keeping robusta under pressure. In Brazil, Minas Gerais received 47.9 mm of rain in the week to Jan. 2, about 67% of the historical average, dampening arabica concerns. ICE arabica inventories moved from a 1.75-year low toward a 2.5-month high; robusta inventories also recovered after a year low. Conab raised Brazil's 2025 production forecast to 56.54 million bags, while Vietnam's 2025/26 crop is pegged near a four-year high at about 1.76 MMT. Overall, ample supplies weigh on prices.

Crude Rallies as Iranian Protests Escalate

January 9, 2026, 2:04 PM EST. Oil rose on tensions in Iran and solid US data, with February WTI up about 3.1% and February RBOB up about 2.0%. Iran's protests threaten more than 3 million bpd of crude output, helping lift prices as the risk of supply disruption grows. A stronger US economy supported demand: December unemployment at 4.4% and January University of Michigan sentiment at 54.0. The crack spread (the price gap between crude and refined products) rose to a three-week high, encouraging refiners to buy crude for gasoline and distillates. Funds also anticipated index rebalancing that could tilt flows into oil, with Citi forecasting inflows to BCOM and S&P GSCI futures. China's December imports rose about 10% m/m to 12.2 mbpd, aiding demand. Headwinds include Saudi price cuts and a potential surplus, while OPEC+ kept a plan to pause production increases in Q1 2026.

GSK (LSE:GSK) at £18.86: DCF Signals Undervaluation Despite Year-Long Rally

January 9, 2026, 2:03 PM EST. GSK trades at £18.86 after a year that delivered roughly 45.9% returns. Over the week and month, it has posted modest gains as investors weigh its pharma and biotech positioning. A DCF model puts the stock at an intrinsic value of £43.59 per share, implying a 56.7% discount to the current price and labeling the stock undervalued on this measure. A second approach shows a P/E of 13.8x, well below the industry average of 23x and the peer group's 17.7x. A Fair Ratio of 26.1x is cited as the normal price-to-earnings benchmark. The overall valuation rating stands at 5/6. The question remains whether the rally has priced in risk and future growth.

Argentina repays IMF loan as Milei stabilizes markets

January 9, 2026, 1:53 PM EST. Buenos Aires repaid a tranche of its IMF program, a move that signals relief as markets become unsettled under President Milei. The payoff eases near-term pressure on foreign reserves and allows the government to present reform steps as gaining traction. In response, the peso steadied and sovereign bonds edged higher; traders cautioned that sustained fiscal consolidation and structural reforms remain essential. The repayment underlines the US-led IMF framework as Argentina seeks to restore market access, even as Milei's agenda confronts resistance in Congress and the broader economy.

AMC shares near $1.45 as pre-Christmas box office strengthens amid fresh lows

January 9, 2026, 1:52 PM EST. AMC Entertainment Holdings trades near $1.45 after an all-time low, even as its pre-Christmas weekend box office for Avatar: Fire and Ash marks the strongest since 2021. The 30-day return runs 36.4% while the 12-month total shareholder return fades 63.3%, underscoring fading momentum. The company reports annual revenue of $4.867 billion with a net loss of $640.6 million. Analysts' narratives split between a reset in expectations and upside from premium formats like IMAX, Dolby Cinema and laser projection. A cited fair value of $3.34 implies the stock is undervalued, but risks remain if attendance stays below pre-pandemic levels and equity issuance continues to weigh on earnings. Investors balance near-term box-office momentum against longer-term earnings prospects.

Cencora (COR) Valuation Check: Momentum Cools as Shares Hover Near $335

January 9, 2026, 1:48 PM EST. Cencora (COR) shares hover around $335.74 after a muted 90-day run, even as the stock shows strong longer term total returns. The latest view flags a valuation gap: last close near a narrative fair value of about $387.93, implying upside if earnings and margins hold. Our Do it your way tools point to a separate fair value from the SWS DCF model of about $694.01, suggesting a wide divergence with the market price.

Sodexo valuation under debate after share-price weakness

January 9, 2026, 1:47 PM EST. Sodexo's stock has weakened, with a 3-month decline of 17% and a 12-month drop of about 38%, despite modest revenue and net income growth. The latest analysis points to fading momentum as investors reassess risk. On one side, the narrative argues the shares sit close to fair value due to steady cash flow, evolving working capital management, and planned capex for contract mobilizations; the stated fair value from that view is €54.44 (undervalued) vs a 20.3% gap to the last close of €43.40. On the other side, a DCF model yields about €33.50, suggesting the stock may be overvalued at current prices. Key risks linger: weaker net signing and slower healthcare contract ramps. Investors should compare earnings-multiple vs cash-flow assumptions.

The Supreme Court deferred ruling on Trump tariffs, keeping policy risk in play; a ruling against tariffs could widen the deficit and weigh on the dollar.

The greenback is supported by liquidity moves, including $40 billion a month in T-bill purchases, with cross-asset policy expectations still diverging. EUR/USD slid.

NuScale Power stock climbs after Bank of America upgrade

January 9, 2026, 12:28 PM EST. NuScale Power shares rose on Monday after Bank of America upgraded the stock to neutral from underperform and trimmed the price target to $28 from $34. The new target still implies an upside of more than 42% from yesterday's close of $19.67. The note cites the company's advanced nuclear reactor design and a TVA agreement as factors that lower the risk profile. By 10:26 a.m. ET, the stock was about 8% higher on the day after an earlier 5.8% gain, following a 15% surge Friday. NuScale remains loss-making and profitability is not assured, so the stock remains a high-risk, speculative play. Some investors may prefer a nuclear energy ETF for exposure.

Sensex, Nifty fall over 2% as markets await US Supreme Court ruling on Trump tariffs

January 9, 2026, 12:27 PM EST. Indian equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty slipped more than 2% over five sessions as traders awaited a US Supreme Court decision on Trump-era tariffs. Markets have been led by a stalemate in India-US trade talks, Trump's tariff threats, and a US Senate bill proposing 500% levies on countries buying Russian crude. A ruling striking down the tariffs could make India a notable beneficiary, especially for exporters to the US. Conversely, a decision that leaves tariffs intact or narrows the ruling could leave room for the administration to pursue alternative measures. Geojit's Dr. V K Vijayakumar warned that if tariffs are illegal, a wider US deficit could lift yields and dent US stocks, while Indian markets could gain on clearer trade optics. The tariff drama could linger, and risk assets may rally on clarity.

US port inventories rose to 1,658,056 bags on Thursday after a Dec. 26 low of 1,626,105. ICCO cut 2024/25 surplus to 49,000 MT and 2025/26 Rabobank surplus to 250,000 MT; EUDR deforestation-law delay keeps supplies ample.

WHD YieldBoost: May 55 call could lift yield to 15.5%

January 9, 2026, 12:13 PM EST. Cactus Inc (WHD) holders can push income higher with a YieldBoost by selling the May 55 call at the $55 strike, collecting a $2.55 premium. The premium would annualize to about 14.4%, lifting the base 1.1% dividend yield to roughly 15.5% if WHD stays below 55. If the stock is called away, upside is capped, but reaching the 55 strike would imply a 7.4% rise from current levels and would deliver about 12.4% on the trade plus any dividends collected beforehand. The stock trades near $51.34 with trailing volatility around 45%. The analysis warns dividend predictability varies and uses chart data and volatility to judge the risk/reward of the 55 strike.

January 9, 2026, 11:50 AM EST. Trainline's updated narrative centers on risk-adjusted returns rather than shifts in its modelled fair value of £3.88 per share. The discount rate is 9.15%, while long-term revenue growth is modelled at 4.46%, keeping the core valuation steady even as Street targets span from £3.00 to £5.00. Bullish analysts such as Berenberg see room for upside with a £5.00 target, while JPMorgan sits at £3.00 with a Neutral stance, highlighting how near-term risks shape entry points. The firm completed two 2025 buyback tranches, removing over 32 million shares for about £90m in total, underscoring capital returns.

ITV target cuts reflect cautious near-term view as Sky talks loom

January 9, 2026, 11:47 AM EST. ITV's latest update keeps fair value at £0.80 while trimming the official price target amid higher discount rates and more cautious revenue forecasts.

JPMorgan still assigns an Overweight rating, lowering its target to 105p from 112p to reflect nearer-term risks but still sees upside. The cut signals caution on execution and growth, not a wholesale rethink of the longer-term case. Separately, Comcast's Sky is reportedly in preliminary talks to buy ITV's media and entertainment arm for an enterprise value (EV) of about £1.6 billion; ITV notes terms are not set and there is no certainty a deal will proceed.

UPS could be undervalued after recent price weakness, as DCF signals upside

January 9, 2026, 11:46 AM EST. United Parcel Service shares finished at $106.97, reflecting a pullback that has left investors weighing growth, risk and valuation. The stock has risen about 7.8% in the last week and 10.3% over the past 30 days, but remains down 9.8% from a year ago and trails longer horizons. A two-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity model yields an intrinsic value of $129.60 per share, implying about 17.5% upside and labeling UPS as undervalued on this approach. The model uses trailing FCF of roughly $3.71 billion and forecasts to 2029-2035, with a current price-to-earnings context noted but not decisive. Investors should weigh P/E considerations alongside delivery volumes, competition, and global trade patterns before rebalancing exposure.

Santa Claus rally turns negative for three straight years, first since 1950

January 9, 2026, 11:44 AM EST. Historically, the Santa Claus rally-the last five trading days of December and the first two of January for the S&P 500-produces gains about 78% of the time, with an average advance of 1.3%. This year, performance was weak: 2024 fell 0.9%, 2025 fell 0.3%, and 2026 slipped 0.1%. For the first time since at least 1950, the window posted three straight negative returns. Still, the measure is not a precise forecast: in up years the index has risen about 10.4% for the full year, while in down years it has gained ~6.1%. The rarity of three consecutive negatives in this window underscores heightened risk, though there is no certainty about what comes next.

Intel stock rally grows on foundry optimism as Panther Lake and Nvidia backing support turnaround

January 9, 2026, 11:33 AM EST. Intel shares rose more than 6% on Wednesday as investors grew optimistic about its foundry business. The week saw the launch of Panther Lake, its first AI PC chips built on the long-delayed 18A process, a milestone after years of costly efforts.

Analysts like Ben Reitzes of Melius Research told CNBC the backing could help, though the path remains uncertain. Traders cited cash infusions and public support as catalysts for the stock's momentum.

Charles Schwab appears fairly valued after 40% one-year rally, Excess Returns model shows

January 9, 2026, 11:31 AM EST. Charles Schwab is trading near US$101 a share after a 40.5% annual gain.

The takeaway: valuation is reasonable, but sentiment-driven moves can materialize quickly.

Stocks rise as jobs data steer rate bets; Supreme Court tariff ruling eyed

January 9, 2026, 10:45 AM EST. U.S. stock indexes rose Friday as investors weighed December's jobs report and awaited a potential Supreme Court ruling on President Trump's tariff measures. The S&P 500 gained about 0.4%, the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.3%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.1%, leaving all three on track for a higher first week of 2026. The payrolls report showed the economy added 50,000 jobs in December, short of forecast, keeping the Fed on course to hold rates at the upcoming meeting. The unemployment rate eased to 4.4%. Traders priced in a ruling on tariffs that could reshape US trade policy. The White House directed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to purchase up to $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities to lower mortgage costs.

Netflix stock falls 12.9% in December 2025 amid Warner Bros. Discovery bid drama

January 9, 2026, 10:44 AM EST.Netflix's shares fell 12.9% in December 2025 as the Warner Bros. Discovery buyout saga and a rival bid from Paramount Skydance unsettled investors. The stock trades about 30% below its June all-time high of $133.91 and roughly at $91 a share on Jan. 8, 2026. Three outcomes loom: a negotiated deal that would spin off WB Discovery's cable assets, followed by an $82.7 billion cash-and-stock take for the remaining Warner assets; a hostile bid by Paramount Skydance; or regulatory failure that would force a breakup fee. Warner's board backed the Netflix-plan, rejecting the larger bid, while markets fret over debt, dilution, and the fate of Warner's content library. Uncertainty remains the only sure thing for Netflix holders.

Wall Street ticks higher as mixed jobs data trims odds of near-term Fed cut

January 9, 2026, 10:43 AM EST. U.S. stocks edged higher after a mixed December jobs report kept the Fed's next move uncertain. The S&P 500 rose about 0.2%, the Dow gained roughly 147 points, while the Nasdaq was little changed. Treasuries were mixed and yields steadied, with the 10-year at about 4.19% and the two-year at 3.50%. Payroll growth disappointed expectations, though the unemployment rate improved, a sign of a slower pace of hiring around a likely low-hire, low-fire regime. Traders pared the odds of a Fed rate cut at the end of the month to about 5%, yet still price multiple cuts this year. Stocks such as Vistra and Oklo jumped on deals with Meta Platforms, while GM and WD-40 moved on earnings and guidance.

Stock futures rise ahead of jobs data; tariff ruling eyed by Supreme Court

January 9, 2026, 10:42 AM EST. Stock futures rose as traders digested a softer December jobs report and awaited a Supreme Court ruling on President Trump's tariffs. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq rose about 0.2%, the Dow up 29 points. December nonfarm payrolls rose 50,000, below the 73,000 estimate, while the jobless rate slipped to 4.4% from 4.5%, a mixed signal for growth. Analysts cautioned the figures offer limited clarity on the labor market and could keep the Fed on hold for now. The Court's decision would test whether tariffs are authorized under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and whether reimbursements are required. Investors also monitor Trump's call to buy $200 billion in mortgage bonds. For the week, gains are broad: S&P 500 about 1%, Dow ~2.1%, Nasdaq ~1.1%.

NFLX: Bearish Head-and-Shoulders Pattern Eyed as Netflix Targets $60

January 9, 2026, 10:41 AM EST. Netflix stock NFLX faces a potential bearish setup after a steep pullback. The chart suggests a head-and-shoulders formation (a chart pattern signaling a potential reversal) nearing completion, with a descending resistance line capping rallies and a possible neckline breakdown. A break below that level could push the shares toward the $60 area, signaling a bearish continuation if volatility remains high. The note also cites fundamental concerns around Netflix's $72 billion Warner Bros. deal, described by lawmakers as an antitrust nightmare that could feed selling pressure. If the pattern plays out, traders would watch for a high-volume breakdown as confirmation. Near term, market evolutions and volatility will shape risk-reward. The analysis treats the setup as a potential signal rather than a guaranteed outcome.

Netflix stock pricey even after Warner Bros.-induced selloff

January 9, 2026, 10:39 AM EST. Netflix shares have fallen about 27% in three months, but the stock trades around 28x forward earnings, richer than Disney, Amazon.com, and Alphabet. The pullback comes as investors weigh Netflix's planned Warner Bros. deal, valued at about $82.7 billion, amid doubts about cost, regulatory risk and merger success. The stock trades near a five-year average forward multiple of about 34x, suggesting it looks cheaper versus history but remains expensive versus peers. Some bulls warn the valuation reflects little upside without clearer 2026 guidance. Wedbush Securities' Joel Kulina calls Netflix dead dollars for now, while competition to buy Warner Bros. from Paramount Skydance persists. With Netflix leading the bid, sentiment remains muted for now, keeping a lid on near-term upside.

Boeing stock forecast 2026: bulls point to orders, defense spend and technicals

January 9, 2026, 10:17 AM EST. BA stock has pulled back from a high around 233 to about 227, still about 30% off November's low.

A lift in U.S. defense spending toward $1.5 trillion supports the thesis, but a break below $212 would weigh on it.

Oil and Energy Stocks Could Beat Earnings: ESP Filter Signals for EPD, TRP

January 9, 2026, 10:16 AM EST. Two factors drive stock prices over time: earnings and interest rates. Earnings surprises can move prices, and the Zacks Earnings ESP filter aims to capture them.

In oils and energy, Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) shows an ESP of +5.34% ahead of its Aug. 6, 2024 earnings, with an EPS of $0.69 versus a $0.66 consensus.

ATD: Top Canadian stock to buy with $1,000 in 2026

January 9, 2026, 10:12 AM EST. In a note carried by The Motley Fool Canada, Joey Frenette says the TSX could stay choppy in 2026, but that creates opportunities for patient stock pickers.

Quanta's backlog grows on renewable and storage demand; rivals in focus

January 9, 2026, 10:03 AM EST. Quanta Services (PWR) posted a backlog of $39.2 billion in Q3 2025, up from $33.96 billion a year earlier. Remaining performance obligations (RPO) rose to $21 billion, signaling solid future work.

Among peers, MasTec (MTZ) and Fluor (FLR) are close reference points; MasTec's broader mix could dilute focus, while Fluor carries higher execution risk. Quanta's Total Solutions Platform may offer stronger end-to-end certainty.

January 9, 2026, 10:00 AM EST. Serve Robotics' new partnership with DoorDash expands its addressable demand and moves its autonomous-delivery model toward true platform leverage. Management frames the agreement as more than incremental volume, predicting improved fleet utilization and unit economics. The deal, alongside Uber, broadens exposure to restaurants and consumers without extra customer-acquisition spend, with about 1,000 robots deployed and a target of 2,000 by year-end. Interoperability lets robots switch between DoorDash and Uber within a single route, lifting utilization and lowering per-delivery costs. The growth flywheel-more deliveries, more data, faster autonomy-could feed a revenue inflection in 2026. Stock and valuation show a premium, with P/S well above peers and a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

The elevated IV can attract traders to premium-selling strategies, aiming to profit from time decay if the stock proves less volatile than priced. The report frames the setup as a potential trade and notes tightening near-term catalysts.

Deckers DECK ten-year return: what $1,000 invested a decade ago would be worth now

January 9, 2026, 9:57 AM EST. Investing $1,000 in DECK a decade ago would likely have tested patience as price moves drove outcomes. The piece frames stock performance, not bravado, as the key driver of long-run results, while noting FOMO, the fear of missing out, can warp decisions. Deckers Outdoor Corporation operates a five-brand model sold mainly through the Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) channel, or DTC, and wholesale partners. The revenue mix: UGG 52.2%, HOKA 42.1%, Teva 3.5%, Sanuk 0.6%, Other brands 1.6%. A strategic note: a sale of the Sanuk brand was anticipated to close by August 2024. The ten-year return depends on the extent of price appreciation and how well the company grows core brands, especially UGG and HOKA, via the DTC push.

A $1,000 Veeva Investment in 2015 Would Be Worth About $8,034 Today

January 9, 2026, 9:56 AM EST. As of January 23, 2025, a $1,000 investment in Veeva Systems (VEEV) made in January 2015 would be worth about $8,034.72, a 703.47% gain. The calculation excludes dividends but captures price appreciation. The result eclipses the broader market: the S&P 500 rose about 195%, and gold advanced about 104.81% in the same period. For fiscal FY24, revenues totaled $2.36 billion, up 10%, with subscription services at $1.90 billion (80.4% of net sales) and professional services at $462.1 million (19.6%). Veeva's offerings include Veeva CRM, Vault, and related data services; analysts see more upside as the company sustains R&D investment and expands its product suite, including Compass Suite data assets.

MercadoLibre's Shipping Subsidies Fuel GMV Growth, But Margin Pressure Mounts

January 9, 2026, 9:55 AM EST. MercadoLibre's shipping subsidies are fueling GMV growth but testing durability of the expansion. In 3Q2025, Brazil GMV rose 36% YoY after slicing the free-shipping threshold to R$19; items sold climbed 42%, tying demand to promotional intensity. The company absorbs more logistics costs, thinning the contribution margin even as revenue climbs. Brazil direct contribution fell 5.9% YoY to $475 million; revenue rose to $4.01 billion. Argentina direct contribution also slipped. The result: incremental GMV arrives with diminishing economic value, keeping margin normalization at bay. Despite 39% revenue growth and 28% GMV expansion, operating margin held at 9.8% as logistics and marketing spending reached 11% of revenues. Competition from Amazon and Shopee reinforces that subsidy spending may be a permanent defense.

Mastercard valuation signals undervaluation on Excess Returns model

January 9, 2026, 9:54 AM EST. Mastercard's shares closed at $580.07, with returns of 1.6% over 7 days, 7.9% over 30 days, 3.0% year-to-date, 13.1% over 1 year, 55.4% over 3 years and 82.6% over 5 years. A six-point valuation check yields a value score of 2/6. In the Excess Returns framework, book value per share is $8.78, with a Stable Book Value of $14.68 and a Stable EPS of $31.40, based on estimates from eight and eleven analysts. Implied Cost of Equity is $1.09 per share, leaving an Excess Return of $30.31. The intrinsic value comes to about $743.60 per share, versus the market price of $580.07, i.e., the stock trades roughly 22% below its intrinsic value on this metric. The conclusion: undervalued.

Markets could be spooked as lofty valuations meet earnings risk and policy uncertainty

January 9, 2026, 9:53 AM EST. Stocks tread carefully as market multiples look stretched. The forward P/E ratio (price-to-earnings based on expected earnings) for the S&P 500 sits near 22x, above the 10-year average of 18.7x, leaving little cushion if earnings disappoint. Firms are seen delivering double-digit earnings growth in every quarter of 2026, with 18.1% for Q4 and a full-year ~15% consensus, underpinning a lofty price target of about 8,010 for the index. Risks loom. December payrolls rose 50,000, below 70,000 expected, a soft spell that could undercut earnings optimism. The path of Fed rate cuts remains uncertain; inflation cooling helps but valuations are high. Tariff risk persists as the Supreme Court weighs IEEPA authority; a ruling against tariffs could prompt sectoral relief. Geopolitics also cloud sentiment after Maduro's seizure, even as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hover near records.

UK penny stocks under £200M attract interest as FTSE dips

January 9, 2026, 9:40 AM EST. London's stock market drifted lower as weak Chinese trade data weighed on global demand. In that environment, investors lean toward smaller companies that may offer growth at modest prices. The article highlights penny stocks-small-cap shares trading at low prices-filtered to contain market caps under £200 million. Illustrative names include Brickability Group (BRCK) at about £171.5 million, Warpaint London (W7L) at roughly £155 million, Michelmersh Brick Holdings (MBH) at £76 million, Ingenta (ING) at £16.5 million, MTI Wireless Edge (MWE) at £40 million, Impax Asset Management (IPX) at £174.9 million and Begbies Traynor Group (BEG) at £186.7 million. The selection also notes Corero Network Security and KR1 Plc as examples of specialty plays with niche revenue streams, though profitability and cash runway remain factors. Traders should balance potential gains with liquidity and rising costs.

Cramer's top 10: Friday market watch amid tepid payrolls and policy signals

January 9, 2026, 9:39 AM EST. Friday's market preview centers on a tepid December jobs report that keeps the Fed on track for more rate cuts. The government said 50,000 nonfarm payrolls (the government's monthly jobs tally) were added in December, below estimates, with the unemployment rate dipping. Investors also watch a Supreme Court tariff ruling and a White House meeting with oil executives on Venezuela. President Trump directed his reps-Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac-to buy about $200 billion in mortgage bonds, a move seen as easing funding costs ahead of policy easing. Tech and housing names were mixed but certain names moved: Lennar, D.R. Horton and Home Depot rallied on rate expectations; Meta Platforms inked deals with Oklo and Vistra to power Prometheus. Nvidia, Broadcom targets rose; Apple and Alphabet gained on updated targets; JPMorgan pointed to holiday trends; DuPont price target lifted to $51.

NEOG crosses above average 12-month target; shares trade at $9.70

January 9, 2026, 9:37 AM EST. Neogen Corp (NEOG) shares climbed to $9.70, topping the reported average 12-month target of $8.17. The figure comes from Zacks Investment Research via Quandl and reflects the crowd-sourced consensus of NEOG analysts. Three targets span from a low of $6.50 to a high of $10.00, with a standard deviation of $1.755. Crossing the target can lead to a downgrade or a higher outlook, depending on company fundamentals. The data underline that targets aggregate views rather than a single expert call. Current ratings show 2 Strong Buy and 3 Hold across the coverage, with no Sell ratings. Investors should decide whether $8.17 remains a waypoint or if NEOG has room to move.

Kratos Defense Stock Rises 35.3% in a Month: How to Play KTOS

January 9, 2026, 9:33 AM EST. Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS) has rallied 35.3% in the past month, outpacing the Zacks Aerospace-Defense Equipment index at 15.3%. The gain tracks ongoing demand for unmanned, autonomous systems and a string of contract wins, plus expansion of maintenance and software capabilities. Kratos' Valkyrie UAS is positioning as a core platform in the US Marine Corps' Collaborative Combat Aircraft program led by Northrop Grumman, boosting near-to-medium-term cash flow visibility. In December 2025, the company reported factory acceptance testing of its EPOCH C2 software with Airbus' OneSat platform, and about $30 million in national-security hardware contracts. The firm also opened a 10,000-square-foot MRO facility in Vancouver to overhaul PT6A/PT6T engines. The excerpt hints at challenges ahead for KTOS.

Tempus AI climbs 82% in 12 months on Genomics and Data momentum

January 9, 2026, 9:32 AM EST. Tempus AI TEM has surged 82.4% over 12 months, outpacing the industry (2.6%) and S&P 500 (19.3%). The stock carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) as the healthtech specialist rides Genomics momentum and a growing Data & Services business with an expanding AI toolkit. Tempus posted its first non-GAAP profit in Q3 and is pursuing disciplined MRD expansion for long-term growth. Its portfolio spans oncology therapy selection, hereditary testing, and MRD. The company operates two revenue lines – Genomics and Data & Services – with Genomics volumes rising due to Ambry integration; FDA 510(k) clearance for xR IVD and launch of xM TRM support drug development. Data & Services grew 26.1% YoY, aided by Insights licensing and Paige acquisition. Tempus reported positive adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 million in Q3, helped by cost discipline. A risk: lack of US reimbursement for AI tools.

AI demand lifts Micron DRAM; HBM transition underpins revenue outlook

January 9, 2026, 9:31 AM EST. Micron Technology's fiscal Q1 2026 DRAM revenue rose 69% YoY to $10.8 billion, 79% of total revenue, as DRAM demand tied to AI workloads strengthens. DRAM bit shipments edged higher; average selling prices jumped about 20%. As AI models grow, memory becomes a bottleneck, making HBM (high-bandwidth memory) essential for training and inference. Micron's HBM business is moving toward HBM4; early samples show top bandwidth and power efficiency, with customers locking in 2026 HBM3E supply and pricing. Tight DRAM supply supports pricing power amid broader demand from PCs, smartphones, and autos. Analysts see strong DRAM revenue growth; Zacks pegs 2026 DRAM revenue at $59.76B, up ~109%. In the ecosystem, Intel and Broadcom shape the HBM supply chain. Micron's stock has surged ~229% over the past year.

Construction & Mining Equipment Stocks to Watch Despite Industry Headwinds

January 9, 2026, 9:30 AM EST. Industry players in the Zacks Manufacturing – Construction and Mining group face a prolonged manufacturing downturn and tariff drag on customer spending. Still, infrastructure spending in the United States and mining demand tied to the energy transition support a brighter outlook. Caterpillar (CAT), Terex (TEX) and Astec Industries (ASTE) are positioned to gain from advances in technologically advanced equipment and efficiency upgrades that lift productivity. The energy transition will spur demand for copper, iron ore and other minerals, underpinning long-term equipment sales. Near term, ISM data show a contraction persisted for months, with brief expansion earlier this year before the latest dip. If infrastructure outlays pick up and orders stabilize, these names could lead gains for the sector.

SCI Q3 Revenue Mix Fueled by Cemetery Preneed and Non-Funeral Growth

January 9, 2026, 9:29 AM EST. Service Corporation International reported Q3 2025 revenue of $1.06 billion, up 4.4% year over year, as revenue mix shifted toward cemetery preneed and non-funeral channels. Cemetery revenue rose to $484.0 million, led by preneed cemetery revenue of $338.5 million. On a comparable basis, cemetery revenue grew about 6.9%, with core cemetery up 6.7%; cemetery preneed sales production rose about 10%. Funeral revenue edged up to $574.1 million but comparable funeral revenue declined 0.3%; core funeral services fell 3.5%, offset by higher average revenue per service (+3.1%). Non-funeral home revenue rose 12.6% with a 13.4% jump in average revenue per service, while preneed revenue slowed due to delivery deferrals. Management said timing, not revenue recognition, affected revenue. SCI shares rose 3.9% year over year.

SHELL sees Q4 upstream output rise as oil trading hurts profits

January 9, 2026, 9:28 AM EST. Shell plc expects Q4 upstream production of 1.84-1.94 million boe/d, up from 1.83 mboe/d in Q3 after adding the Adura JV, underscoring operational resilience amid market volatility. The oil and gas output push aligns with a broader strategy to strengthen market position, supported by new projects and drilling tech. However, oil trading results are expected to be "significantly lower" in Q4 due to a steep fall in crude prices, squeezing margins in a volatile market. Marketing earnings are also expected to be pressured, with seasonal factors weighing on demand and a non-cash deferred tax adjustment added to the headwind. Trading has historically been a large earnings contributor for the group.

HELE Q3 Earnings Meet Estimates; Home & Outdoor Sales Decline YoY

January 9, 2026, 9:27 AM EST. Helen of Troy Limited reported Q3 fiscal 2026 results that were mixed: the adjusted earnings matched the consensus while net sales topped estimates but fell year over year. The company posted adjusted earnings of $1.71 per share, in line with the Zacks forecast, and net sales of $512.8 million, down 3.4% from a year earlier. A sharper drop in Organic sales (down about 10.8%) weighed on results, reflecting weaker demand for insulated beverageware and hair appliances. The Olive & June acquisition contributed about $37.7 million in revenue. International sales slipped 8.1%. The gross margin narrowed to 46.9%, while adjusted operating income declined 24.6% to $66.3 million and the operating margin was 12.9%. SG&A rose as a percentage of sales. Management pledged renewed focus on product innovation, brand engagement and direct-to-consumer strategies to stabilize operations and support longer-term growth.

U.S. jobs data due; tariffs in focus as markets await key data

January 9, 2026, 9:25 AM EST. U.S. stock futures drift near flat ahead of the December jobs data due at 8:30 a.m. ET. Economists expect nonfarm payrolls (jobs data excluding farm workers) to rise by 73,000 and the unemployment rate to 4.5%. Challenger, Gray & Christmas said layoffs are at a 17-month low, while a New York Fed survey shows improving consumer sentiment despite labor concerns. After the data, Kevin Hassett will join CNBC for analysis. The Supreme Court could rule on President Trump's tariff policy, a decision that might grant limited powers or spur alternate enforcement. The Commerce Department said the October trade deficit fell 39% from September to the lowest since 2009, highlighting tariff effects. A photo shows Cuba bracing for fuel shortages after the U.S. seized Venezuela-linked tankers at Matanzas.

January 9, 2026, 9:11 AM EST. Simulations Plus, Inc. (SLP) posted fiscal Q1 2026 adjusted earnings of $0.13 a share, a 27.8% miss versus the Zacks consensus and down from $0.17 a year earlier. Revenue came to $18.4 million, up 2% from the period but down 3% year over year; it beat the consensus by about 2%.

Lamb Weston trims footprint, shifts Latin America production, curtails Netherlands line

January 9, 2026, 9:10 AM EST. Lamb Weston plans a global footprint rebalancing under its Focus to Win strategy. The company will close the Munro, Argentina facility and shift Latin American production to Mar del Plata, while temporarily curtailing a Netherlands line to reduce underutilization and manage inventories. Management says the moves align with prioritizing markets and assets and improving cost savings and operational efficiency across regions. Outside North America, demand remains uneven; Europe faces softer restaurant traffic and pricing pressure after a strong potato crop, contributing to profitability headwinds. Despite rising volumes from new customer wins, pricing and mix pressures abroad continue to weigh on results. The company positions the changes to support sustainable growth and a leaner, more flexible network.

Discord files confidentially for IPO, weighing a public listing

January 9, 2026, 9:07 AM EST. Discord is pursuing a public listing after filing a confidential registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bloomberg reports. The company has worked with banks Goldman Sachs Group and JPMorgan Chase & Co since at least March 2025. A public listing is optional, and a confidential filing is a normal prelude to an IPO (initial public offering) that would trigger an S-1 disclosure. Discord says its focus remains delivering a strong user experience and building a sustainable business. The platform has exceeded 200 million monthly active users as of end-2025 and about 1.9 billion hours spent gaming each month. Founded in 2015, Discord counted roughly 350 million registered users in 2021. CEO Humam Sakhnini took charge in 2025 after Jason Citron stepped down.

Sugar climbs on index rebalancing inflows; Brazil, India data influence

January 9, 2026, 9:05 AM EST. March NY world sugar #11 (SBH26) rose 0.53% to extend weekly gains; March London ICE white sugar #5 (SWH26) added 0.47%. The move comes as investors anticipate index rebalancing buying of sugar futures, Citi projects inflows of about $1.2 billion into sugar contracts for the annual rebalance of the BCOM and S&P GSCI indexes. A firmer Brazilian real supported sugar by weighing on export sales and curbing supplies, with the real hitting a one-month high against the dollar. Indian production data also mattered: ISMA showed 2025/26 output up 25% y/y in Oct-Dec to 11.90 MMT; ISMA lifted its full-year estimate to 31 MMT while trimming ethanol use, potentially lifting exports. Brazil's outlook remains bearish for prices despite steady gains, as Conab and Unica track higher output.

Sterling's E-Infrastructure segment emerges as growth engine for STRL

January 9, 2026, 9:01 AM EST. Sterling Infrastructure's E-Infrastructure Solutions segment is emerging as STRL's primary growth engine. It accounted for about 55% of revenue in the first nine months of 2025, rising 37.1% year over year. The segment benefited from the late-Q3 2025 acquisition of CEC, adding $41.4 million of revenues, and from strength in data centers. Data centers revenue more than doubled as hyperscalers and enterprise customers expand capacity, a long-cycle, multi-year growth signal. The segment anchors STRL's backlog, with Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) up 75.2% to $1.81 billion as of 9/30/2025, and a multibillion-dollar pipeline. Sterling differentiates by bundling site development with mission-critical electrical services. Competition comes from Quanta, EMCOR, and PWR; execution could keep E-Infrastructure Solutions as STRL's core growth driver for years.

Astronics (ATRO) climbs 11% on strong volume as defense outlook supports gains

January 9, 2026, 9:00 AM EST. Astronics Corp ATRO rose 11.3% to $64.81 in the latest session as volume surged. The gain follows strong Q4 momentum and a full year of revenue growth, with Q4 revenue beating guidance and full-year results showing year-over-year expansion. Investors also anchored bets on sustained defense spending after President Trump proposed boosting military outlays to about $1.5 trillion for 2027, a backdrop that could lift aerospace and defense suppliers. For the upcoming quarter, the company is expected to post $0.55 per share, up about 14.6% year over year, on revenue of $234.83 million, roughly +12.6% from a year ago. The stock holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). In the same group, Woodward (WWD) traded modestly lower, underscoring mixed near-term sentiment within the sector.

NSE stays open on Jan 15 as settlement holiday hits Maharashtra polls

January 9, 2026, 8:58 AM EST. NSE will run regular trading on January 15, but that day is a settlement holiday in Maharashtra, the exchange said in a circular. There will be no T+0 settlement on January 15. Trading can continue, but clearing and settlement for that cycle will not occur; trades from January 14 settle on January 16, and trades on January 15 also settle on January 16. Banks in the state are typically closed, so retail investors should expect potential one-day delays in the credit of shares or funds around the date. NSE notes 15 market holidays in 2026, including Republic Day, Holi, Mahavir Jayanti, Good Friday, Maharashtra Day, Bakri Id, Muharram, Ganesh Chaturthi, Gandhi Jayanti, and Christmas. Analysts say markets are cautious amid higher borrowing costs and mixed global signals; clarity on global trade and Q3 earnings will guide the next leg.

Foraco International Among TSX Penny Stocks to Watch as Canada Navigates Rates in 2026

January 9, 2026, 8:57 AM EST. Canadian markets begin 2026 under the weight of slower growth and shifting rates. Penny stocks-small, low-priced shares that trade infrequently-remain a focus for traders seeking growth. The analysis spotlights Foraco International SA (TSX: FAR) with a market cap of about CA$252.22 million. The company reports two main revenue streams, Mining and Water, and a debt load marked by a net debt to equity ratio near 64%. Still, cash flow coverage is solid, and recent long-term contracts in the U.S., Canada and Chile total more than US$210 million. Profitability cooled, with margins slipping from 8.4% to 6.5%, while management has pursued share buybacks totalling CA$2.04 million. The piece notes several other screened TSX names such as Westbridge Renewable Energy, Sailfish Royalty, and Zoomd Technologies as examples of the broader list of 378 penny stocks.

Amentum Holdings (AMTM) Valuation Highlights After Recent Share Strength

January 9, 2026, 8:56 AM EST. Shares of Amentum Holdings jumped recently, trading at $32.47 after a 4.1% daily rise and a 12.6% monthly gain. A 90-day return of 38.8% and a 1-year total shareholder return of 51.1% point to momentum. The stock sits near a $33.73 price target, raising the question whether the rally reflects upside or overhang. On a trailing basis, the stock trades at a P/E of 119.9x, far above peer averages around 19.4x and the professional services sector average of 24.8x, with a fair P/E of 36.9x according to the checks. That suggests an overvaluation on earnings multiples, even as the DCF model indicates a fair value of $68.30, implying substantial upside if the long-term earnings path proves accurate. Risks include growth that misses expectations of about 2.8%.

Honeywell (HON) DCF signals roughly 17% undervaluation at $205 share price

January 9, 2026, 8:55 AM EST. Honeywell International closed at $205.24, up 5.2% in the past week, 7.9% in the last 30 days, with a mixed track record year-to-date and over 1 year. The stock sits amid debates on industrials and long-cycle demand for automation, aerospace and building technologies. Simply Wall St's DCF projects a fair value of about $248.19 per share, implying roughly 17.3% undervaluation versus the current price. The company trades at a P/E of 21.26x, above the sector average of 12.17x but below the peer group average of 29.38x. The valuation score in the report is 3 out of 6, reflecting mixed signals about growth and cash flows. The takeaway: the stock looks undervalued on a cash-flow basis, but sentiment and multiples keep the case nuanced.

Nvidia 2030 stock forecast: bull, base, and bear targets

January 9, 2026, 8:51 AM EST. Nvidia's shares have swung with the tariff-driven volatility of 2020s trade frictions and a later rebound that helped it become the first $5 trillion market cap company. Looking to 2030, 24/7 Wall St. lays out three scenarios for NVDA: a bull target of $491, a base case of $265, and a bear case of $38. The analysis hinges on three drivers: AI infrastructure dominance (roughly 80% of the AI accelerator market via H100/H200 GPUs and CUDA software), rapid data center expansion (revenue rising from $4.3B in Q1 2023 to over $35.6B in Q4 2024), and margin preservation (73% gross margin in Q4 FY2025). Risks include competitive pressure eroding margins and ongoing market volatility.

CACI International climbs 3.8% on solid volume; backlog, NATO demand support outlook

January 9, 2026, 8:47 AM EST. CACI International rose 3.8% in the last session to close at $584.09, aided by sharply higher volume. The move comes after a 5.6% loss over the prior four weeks. Growth drivers cited include national security spending, demand for Counter-UAS and electronic warfare, and ongoing network and digital modernization, plus strong backlog visibility and expanding NATO opportunities. Ahead of its next report, the company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $6.47 per share on revenue of $2.28 billion, up 8.7% and 8.6% respectively. Estimates have been unchanged for about 30 days, a sign that near-term momentum may hinge on revisions. The stock carries a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

NuScale Power's NRC-approved SMR hopes meet AI data-center demand, but sales are lacking

January 9, 2026, 8:29 AM EST. NuScale Power is aiming to power AI data centers with small modular reactors (SMR), a technology designed to provide continuous power. SMRs are smaller, factory-built reactors intended to lower upfront costs and shorten construction time. NuScale is the only company with an NRC-approved design, giving it a regulatory edge in a process known for delay. The company has not booked a sale or meaningful revenue yet. The stock has risen about 37% this year, helped by broader nuclear sentiment after a $2.7 billion award to uranium enrichment firms by the Trump administration; NuScale was not a recipient. Shares trade near 50x sales, underscoring high risk even if deployments materialize. The Motley Fool Stock Advisor did not include NuScale among its top 10 picks.

NuScale Power undervalued after DCF signals; SMR rally tempers risk

January 9, 2026, 8:28 AM EST. NuScale Power trades around US$19.47, posting a mixed momentum profile after a 7-day surge and a volatile year. A DCF analysis yields an implied fair value of US$52.35 per share, implying a 62.8% discount to that estimate and signaling undervaluation vs today. The model uses a 2-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach; the latest twelve months show a loss of about US$284 million, with forecasts turning positive by 2030 at roughly US$300.66 million. The long run includes several loss years before stronger cash generation, and outer years rely on extrapolation. At a P/B of 6.65x vs. an Electrical industry average around 2.59x, the stock sits higher on price-to-book while growth/risk remains debated. Sentiment tracks the SMR theme and nuclear policy as investors weigh value against risk.

Vistra to buy Cogentrix for about $4 billion to power AI data centers

January 9, 2026, 8:27 AM EST. Vistra Corp. (NYSE: VST) jumped about 5% in premarket trading (trading before regular stock hours) after agreeing to buy Cogentrix Energy for about $4 billion, funded with cash, stock and assumed debt. The deal, subject to regulatory approvals, is expected to close in mid-to-late 2026. Cogentrix adds 10 natural gas-fired plants totaling roughly 5,500 megawatts (MW), and will give Vistra dispatchable power (power that can be turned on or off on demand) to back continuous AI data center operations. The purchase follows Vistra's $1.9 billion deal for seven gas-fired plants from Lotus Infrastructure Partners completed in May. Analysts say the valuation looks attractive versus Vistra's existing portfolio as demand from hyperscale data center operators (large cloud- and tech-company customers) accelerates.

AppLovin stock price forecast 2026-2030: AI-driven ads and catalysts

January 9, 2026, 8:25 AM EST. AppLovin's stock rebounded after a slide caused by a pending class-action lawsuit and short-seller reports, posting new highs and outpacing the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Since its 2021 IPO, the shares are up roughly 963%, underscoring a period of rapid growth. The company now focuses on software that boosts advertising monetization for online marketers. A key driver is its Axon AI engine, which is widening beyond gaming into e-commerce, fintech, and automotive ads, and proved effective in capturing holiday ad spend. It is scaling AI beyond gaming and developing a generative-AI toolkit and a self-service platform for autonomous campaigns. Analysts from Benchmark and Jefferies remain Buy, even as some peers warn on fundamentals. The question: is momentum sustainable into 2026 and beyond?

Tariff ruling by Supreme Court could steer Friday's US stock market open

January 9, 2026, 8:05 AM EST. U.S. stock futures opened flat to modestly higher on Friday as traders brace for back-to-back risk events. In pre-market trade, Dow futures ticked up about 0.0%, S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 showed little movement. The focus is on a Supreme Court decision on whether the Trump-era tariffs can stand under the IEEPA, with a ruling expected later today that could redefine U.S. trade policy. Analysts warn the verdict could push markets sideways to lower, especially if tariffs are deemed unlawful, potentially feeding higher inflation and pressuring the dollar. Investors also await the payrolls data for clues on the Fed path. A ruling against tariffs could reverse some tariff windfalls, complicating fiscal calculations and potentially shaking risk sentiment into a cautious session.

BankUnited appears ~23% undervalued on Excess Returns model despite $45.70 share price

January 9, 2026, 8:01 AM EST. BankUnited trades around $45.70 a share, but an Excess Returns framework points to an intrinsic value near $59.46, implying about 23% upside. The model starts with a book value of $40.30 and a stable book value of $44.87, with stable EPS of $3.93 and a cost of equity of $3.32; the resulting excess return is $0.60 per share. This keeps valuations sensitive to small shifts in profitability and growth. In the near term, investors also weigh capital strength, loan quality, and deposit trends amid sector-wide rate expectations. The stock's 1-year return trails some peers, but the valuation score leans toward undervalued under this framework.

Iridium Communications appears undervalued after multi-year price slump, according to DCF model

January 9, 2026, 7:59 AM EST. Iridium Communications (IRDM) trades at $18.55, up 6.7% over the past week. The stock has fallen 34.4% in the last year and 67.8% over three years. Simply Wall St scores it 4 of 6 on value checks, signaling undervalued on most measures. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model-which estimates future cash flows and discounts them to today-places an intrinsic value per share of $69.81, meaning the current price represents a roughly 73.4% discount. Projections through 2030 underpin the estimate, even as Iridium's satellite and connectivity strategy faces market debate. Investors weighing the name should balance near-term volatility with longer-term cash-flow potential.

Patterson-UTI jumps 6.4% on upbeat outlook; PTEN set for Q1 loss

January 9, 2026, 7:51 AM EST. Patterson-UTI shares rose 6.4% to $7.03 on heavier-than-average volume after its January investor presentation framed a constructive outlook. Cost controls in drilling, resilient completion activity with minimal spare horsepower and adjusted free cash flow in the next quarter described as the strongest of the year underpin investor confidence. The company guided capex under $500 million, with high utilization of Tier-1 rigs and natural gas hydraulics, and pledged to return at least 50% of adjusted free cash flow to shareholders. PTEN is expected to post a Q1 loss of $0.12 on about $1.09 billion in revenue, a 6.2% year-over-year drop. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold); near-term moves will hinge on earnings revisions and guidance. Valaris is a peer in the sector.

(LMT) closed up 4.3% at $518.44 on heavier-than-average volume, trimming losses earlier in the session, and marking roughly a 6.2% rise over four weeks. The defense contractor benefits from a steady Pentagon backlog and stronger global demand. A broader boost came from President Trump's proposal to lift military spending to about $1.5 trillion in 2027, up from $901 billion in 2026, lifting sentiment for defense names. Ahead of its results, the consensus EPS is $6.33 for the quarter, down 17.5% year over year, with revenue seen at $19.74 billion, up 6%. Revision trends were modestly negative over the past 30 days, a factor that can temper gains. Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Peers include Joby Aviation (JOBY), which finished 1.9% lower at $15.25; next-quarter EPS is -$0.20.

January 9, 2026, 7:43 AM EST. Sodexo trades at €43.40 after a 37.5% drop over the last year, with a 1% year-to-date gain. The stock's valuation sits against a backdrop of sector re-rating as demand patterns shift and cost pressures mount.

The latest FCF is €612.7 million (TTM), with forecasts extended to 2030. On multiples, the stock trades at P/E 9.11x, well below the hospitality industry average of 20.95x and peers at 15.94x; Simply Wall St's Fair Ratio is 16.00x. The takeaway: the valuation is contested amid demand shifts and balance-sheet considerations.
