Getty Realty (GTY) Valuation After Recent Price Move
November 20, 2025, 1:20 AM EST. Getty Realty (GTY) saw a 1-month return of 3.3% and steady longer-term performance, with the stock trading below analysts' fair value estimate of $32.14, suggesting it is undervalued on a near-term basis. The article notes high occupancy (99.7%), long lease durations (~10 years), rising rent coverage (2.6x), and a diversified tenant base undergirding stable cash flows and ongoing dividend growth. Despite a 1-year total return of -7.5%, momentum is resurging, prompting renewed attention to whether current prices reflect future growth or if risks-like EV-driven automotive trends-could challenge the outlook. Analysts' fair value of $32.14 implies ~upside to the current price, though investors should weigh valuation against sector dynamics and risks.
Texas Cities Lead Strongest US Buyer's Market, San Antonio Tops Redfin's List
November 20, 2025, 1:18 AM EST. Texas dominates the latest Redfin study of buyer's market versus seller's markets, with San Antonio at the top as the strongest buyer's market in nearly two decades.

Asia Morning Briefing: Market Turns Defensive as BTC Loses Its Bid
November 20, 2025, 1:14 AM EST. Bitcoin faces a weaker market structure as demand wanes and upside stalls below the 365-day moving average. CryptoQuant notes the core demand wave has passed, with ETF accumulation cooling, Treasury-company buying fading, and Strategy purchases dropping. Polymarket traders price a move toward around 85,000 and assign little weight to upside. Glassnode flags short-term holders realizing losses near the 88,600 cost basis while ETF flows stay negative and derivatives tilt into risk-off with rising puts and implied volatility. The next stop could be the True Market Mean around 82,000, a level that could usher a bear-market structure if breached. BTC trades near $92,000 (briefly under $90,000); ETH around $3,038; Gold near $4,067. The Nikkei 225 gains (~3.7%) on Nvidia, signaling cautious risk sentiment.
Nvidia Beats Estimates, Guides Higher; Shares Rally After Hours
November 20, 2025, 1:10 AM EST. Nvidia beat revenue and earnings estimates for fiscal Q3, driven by a 62% year-over-year revenue rise to $57.01 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.30, above consensus of $1.25. After-hours shares jumped about 5% to $196, keeping a path toward record highs. Management guided current-quarter revenue above street and whisper levels, with optimism that the $500 billion AI and computing transitions supported by Jensen Huang's remarks will sustain growth. The CEO highlighted three simultaneous computing transitions: CPU to GPU based accelerated computing, AI at a tipping point, and expanding demand for AI workloads like generative AI. The stock remains rated hold-equivalent with a raised price target to $230, as Nvidia eyes robust visibility on next year's revenue.
Nvidia sees AI tipping point, but skeptics flag concentration risk and big capex
November 20, 2025, 1:06 AM EST. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says we are at a tipping point for AI, not a bubble, with Nvidia guiding infrastructure growth powered by its silicon architecture. He sees AI moving from coding and simulations to the real world-robots and cars-via new software categories like coding assistants. But skeptics warn of risks from concentration and capital expenditure. In Q3, about 61% of revenue came from four unnamed customers, a tally that fuels questions about dependency on giants such as Microsoft, Meta, and Oracle. Nvidia also rents back its chips to cloud customers, totaling around $26 billion through 2031, and has pledged large bets on OpenAI and Anthropic. Critics worry the cycle could falter if losses persist, while Huang argues the three transitions sustain demand.
Stocks rally as Nvidia earnings offset Fed rate-cut concerns
November 20, 2025, 1:05 AM EST. Global equities rose after Nvidia delivered blowout quarterly results, easing fears of an AI bubble and helping tech shares lift markets even as investors priced in limited relief from the Fed. Nvidia topped expectations on fierce chip demand, propelling its stock into the rare $5 trillion club and lifting S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures. In Asia, tech names led gains across Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Australia, with Tokyo posting sharp intraday gains. Still, many analysts warn valuations remain stretched as markets balance AI euphoria against debt and a softer labor market. Minutes from the Fed's policy meeting signaled officials are unlikely to cut rates in December, cooling hopes for an imminent rate-cut cycle into 2026. The rally hinges on earnings momentum and the path of monetary policy.
Fear of an AI bubble and rate jitters pull the ASX as Nvidia lifts sentiment
November 20, 2025, 1:02 AM EST. Global markets wobbled as investors weigh whether the AI rally is a bubble. Nvidia's blowout results provided relief, yet the Australian market still retreated from record highs, with the ASX 200 down about 7% from its October peak. The move reflected doubts about future rate cuts in the US and Australia, pushing sentiment from risk-on to risk-off. The ASX is still dominated by banks and miners, but valuation concerns linger after a sharp rally, with Commonwealth Bank surging earlier before retreating on high multiples. Australian tech names remained volatile (TechnologyOne, WiseTech Global, Life360). Analysts say the market looks modestly overvalued, with investors paying more for the same assets as rate expectations cool.

BNP Paribas: Fair Value €89.72 Signals Undervaluation After Pullback
November 20, 2025, 12:52 AM EST. BNP Paribas (ENXTPA: BNP) recently pulled back after a strong 2024 run, yet the longer-term thesis remains intact. The stock trades roughly 27% below analyst targets, even as revenue and profit trends stay resilient, delivering a 26.2% total shareholder return over the past year. A key takeaway: the fair value model points to €89.72, signaling the stock is undervalued relative to current levels. The bull case leans on ongoing digital banking investments, harmonized Eurozone tech spend, and €600 million in annual cost savings through 2026 that could boost ROE and margin. Risks include persistent eurozone margin pressure and tighter regulation. For investors, the path is to assess whether the pullback represents a buying opportunity or if expectations are already priced in.
Is It Too Soon to Buy the Dip in Coinbase (COIN)?
November 20, 2025, 12:50 AM EST. Coinbase (COIN) trades around $257 and has fallen more than 25% this month as BTC weakness underscores crypto volatility. Traders weigh a potential uplift in volumes for the largest US crypto exchange against weaker fee revenue and slower growth as assets rally/fall.

Zacks projects sales up 11% this year and another 13% in FY2026 to about $8.3B; FY25 EPS seen at $8.01 with FY26 around $5.87. The stock now trades at about 32x forward earnings (vs. a 65x-90x range). With a Hold rating, more FY26 EPS revisions may be needed to confirm a buy.

CNBC's coverage on Squawk Box and Worldwide Exchange will spotlight numbers and headlines, with Walmart reporting Thursday. In short, policy shifts and AI demand dynamics look set to steer Thursday's trading.
Ares Management Valuation After Price Volatility: Is ARES Undervalued?
November 20, 2025, 12:44 AM EST. ARES faced a mixed session: up ~2% yesterday but down ~6% over the week and ~19% YTD. Yet the stock's long-run trajectory remains compelling: total shareholder returns exceed 100% over three years. The latest fair value referenced at about $183.94 positions ARES as undervalued, though at a 62.5x earnings multiple it trades well above the sector average of 23.7x and peers at 13.1x. Growth drivers include expansion into infrastructure, real estate, sports/media, secondaries, plus successes like the GCP acquisition and scaling of data center asset management. International fundraising and expanding distribution partnerships broaden the addressable market. Investors must weigh growth expectations against margin pressure and competition, and decide if current pricing already reflects the outlook.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang rebuts AI-bubble chatter, cites three growth drivers behind the GPU boom
November 20, 2025, 12:38 AM EST. On Nvidia's earnings call, CEO Jensen Huang dismissed chatter about an AI bubble, saying, 'From our vantage point we see something very different.' He argued that three dynamics will sustain infrastructure growth: (1) GPUs replacing older CPU-based systems across data processing, ad tech, search, and engineering; (2) AI enabling new applications beyond today's deployments; and (3) 'agentic AI' that can reason and plan, driving even more computing demand. With Nvidia's customer base including Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, and major AI developers, Huang framed the rally as a fundamental shift rather than a speculative spree. Nvidia reported stronger-than-expected revenue and profit, guiding higher, and backed a $500 billion forecast for AI-chip sales in 2025-2026.
Is Sandoz Group Still Attractive After a 43.6% Rally in 2025?
November 20, 2025, 12:34 AM EST. After a 43.6% YTD rally, Sandoz Group has attracted attention amid strategic investments in innovative generics and biosimilars and a wave of partnerships. Our valuation snapshot shows a mixed picture: a 2/6 score on undervalued checks, signaling important caveats. The DCF implies an intrinsic value of $88.39 per share, with the current price trading at about a 39% discount to that level. Free Cash Flow sits at $332.1M, with analysts projecting it to rise beyond $1.1B by 2026 and near $1.5B by 2029, supporting a longer-term bull case. However, near-term profitability and growth risk keep the case unresolved, suggesting the stock may still need time to prove itself.

Nvidia highlighted strong demand for Blackwell GPUs, cloud GPUs and continued growth across industries and geographies.

Is The AI Boom Creating A Market Bubble? A Stock Market Perspective
November 20, 2025, 12:02 AM EST. AI hype has spurred huge bets from Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, fueling rallies in their stock prices and lifting Nvidia to a $5 trillion peak.
