Kooth (LON:KOO) ROCE Trend Signals Reinvestment Potential and Risks
December 22, 2025, 2:14 AM EST. This piece argues that long-term stock winners often show rising ROCE alongside growing capital employed. For Kooth (LON:KOO), trailing-twelve-months to June 2025 yields an ROCE of 8.8% (EBIT £2.4m; assets £35m minus current liabilities £7.8m), in line with the industry average.

DBS Near Record Highs as Dividends, Buybacks and RMB Clearing Define 2026 Outlook
December 22, 2025, 2:13 AM EST. DBS Group Holdings closes 2025 near record territory as investors weigh growth vs capital return. As of Dec 22, 2025, the stock traded around S$55.70, flirting with a 52-week high, with a market cap near S$158B, ~14x trailing P/E and ~4.3% dividend yield. The market narrative now centers on three pillars: strong capital returns through dividends and buybacks; a growing RMB clearing role that anchors fees and cross-border flows; and a backdrop of lower-for-longer rates that compress NII and test profit outlook. DBS's strategy as an Asia hub for transaction banking and its exposure to cross-border payments and potential tokenised assets offer structural upside, even as rates remain a headwind. The 2026 debate is how much of this is priced in.

UOB Share Price Today (SGX: U11) – 2025 Outlook, 2026 Forecasts & Key Risks
December 22, 2025, 2:11 AM EST. UOB shares were around S$34.71 on Dec 22, 2025, trading in a tight range around S$34.65-34.85 as investors weigh bank headlines against a backdrop of falling rates and renewed scrutiny of China property-linked credit. In a Dec 22 interview, UOB's CEO framed the next chapter as a long-term, regional compounding story, emphasizing home-market dominance (roughly 21% of SGD deposits and 25% of SGD loans) and a growth plan to lift Southeast Asia revenue to about 30% of total by 2026, with Singapore remains ~50%. The bank targets non-interest income at 37% of revenue to offset low-rate pressure. Yet rising credit costs, asset-quality visibility, and property exposures remain the key risks; UOB previously signaled proactive provisioning in Q3 amid macro uncertainty.
Seatrium (SGX:5E2) Settlement with Maersk Offshore Wind Could Shape 2026 Outlook
December 22, 2025, 2:09 AM EST. Seatrium Limited (SGX:5E2) said it reached a settlement with Phoenix II A/S (Maersk Offshore Wind affiliate), resolving the dispute over the WTIV contract and clearing the path to delivery by Feb 28, 2026. The deal pins the US$360 million balance at delivery, of which US$250 million is funded via an interest-bearing credit extended by SGS (a Seatrium unit) and repayable over up to 10 years from vessel cash flow. SGS will secure a mortgage over the vessel and first-priority rights over the buyer's accounts. With the arbitration extinguished, the project is ~99.8% complete and management says the move should not materially affect 2025 NTAs or EPS. The relief among investors led to a positive stock reaction, and the settlement may influence the 2026 outlook and analyst targets.
Polls that kept markets talking: Reeves, IHT, and the wealth-tax debate shaping the budget
December 22, 2025, 1:58 AM EST. Across markets this year, polls on tariffs, AI and the UK budget kept readers talking. The standout study drew 4,369 votes on whether chancellor Rachel Reeves should raise taxes, cut benefits or borrow more to shore up public finances, amid rising borrowing costs and welfare reversals. Ahead of the Budget, Reeves signaled tax rises but reportedly shelved a higher income tax rate and kept thresholds frozen for two more years, aligning with Labour's manifesto. Other surveys probed tighter inheritance tax (IHT) rules and the idea of a wealth tax to ease fiscal pressure. Reeves later unveiled £26bn of tax rises, lifting the fiscal headroom to about £21.7bn per the OBR. Post-budget, 86% of respondents in our poll said Reeves had misled the public.

Financials edged higher, helped by resilience in earnings expectations, with Commonwealth Bank of Australia +0.3% and ANZ +0.7%. Analysts flagged a potential Santa Claus rally into year-end, while volumes remain thin and trading muted ahead of the minutes from the central bank's final policy meeting. Markets are pricing in a June RBA rate hike, with a ~25% chance by February.

December 22, 2025, 1:54 AM EST. Mid-America Apartment Communities trades near $134, with a modest weekly gain but a challenging 12-month backdrop.

Our framework assigns a 4/6 valuation check, with a DCF implying a fair value around $200.13 and a current price about 32.9% below that level, i.e., undervalued. The analysis blends multiples and asset-based touchpoints amid resilient occupancy and measured new supply. Key risks include refinancing and development timing, but the long-term growth story may still be intact if cash flows materialize as forecast.

Novo Nordisk: Undervalued After a 48.8% Slump? DCF Signals Big Margin of Safety
December 22, 2025, 1:52 AM EST. Novo Nordisk has fallen roughly 48.8% over the last year and 51.5% YTD as growth sentiment recalibrates amid regulatory scrutiny and competitive pressure in weight-loss and diabetes. Despite a 5/6 valuation score, the stock is argued to be undervalued based on a DCF model that pins fair value around DKK 1,060.61 per share, implying about a 70.8% gap to current prices. Analysts expect free cash flow to rise from ~DKK 67.6B (TTM) to ~DKK 199.0B by 2035 under a two-stage FCF to equity framework. The stock trades at a PE of roughly 13.27x, well below the pharmaceutical industry average and peers. The takeaway: investors face a reset in risk and growth expectations, but the setup could offer a wide margin of safety if the cash-flow trajectory proves durable.

JD Sports Fashion plc (LON:JD.) Shares Rally But Valuation Signals Potential Bargain
December 22, 2025, 1:48 AM EST. JD Sports Fashion plc (LON:JD.) has posted a roughly 16% rise on the LSE in recent months, yet remains below its yearly highs. The stock is framed as a potential bargain, with a model suggesting an intrinsic value of £1.22, above where the market is pricing the shares today. JD. carries a high beta, implying amplified moves with broader market swings. The outlook shows profit growth of about 36% over the next couple of years and higher cash flow, which could support a higher valuation. Still, much of the upside may already be priced in, and investors should weigh financial health and the management track record. For buyers, the stock could offer a buy-the-dip opportunity if market sentiment remains constructive.
Abivax (ENXTPA:ABVX) Valuation After 1,274% YTD Surge: Is the Rally Justified?
December 22, 2025, 1:45 AM EST. ABIVAX Société Anonyme (ENXTPA:ABVX) has delivered a dramatic run, up 1,274% YTD and about 44% in the last three months as investors weigh its growth prospects. Yet the stock trades at a lofty price-to-book of 15.2x, well above peers (~6.1x) and the broader French biotech group (~2.6x), suggesting the market may be pricing in more than fundamentals. A DCF fair value around €13.96 versus a €100 share price highlights the potential gap. Risks include clinical/regulatory setbacks for obefazimod and potential equity dilution to fund late-stage trials. With the stock now ahead of some targets, the key question is whether ABVX is still undervalued or overvalued by momentum, and how the market prices its next growth leg.
Entergy (ETR) valuation after strong rally: is the stock still undervalued?
December 22, 2025, 1:44 AM EST. Entergy (ETR) has outpaced utilities this year, up ~21% YTD and ~25% over the past year, though a pullback keeps the trend constructive. The core narrative ties a $40 billion capex plan over four years – expanding renewables, grid modernization and resilience – to a higher rate base and sustained above-average EPS growth, supported by a fair value around $103.61 versus a latest close near $91.50. The implied undervaluation is about 11.7% with a 22.9x P/E, above peers, signaling upside potential but with regulatory and execution risks. If the growth story holds, investors may benefit from the momentum; otherwise, valuation risk warrants careful analysis.

Analysts say the traditional Santa Claus rally is in play amid thin year-end volumes. Traders await minutes from the central bank's final policy meeting for guidance, with markets pricing a June RBA hike and a small chance of one by February. The NZX 50 rose 1.3% to 13,508.3.

December 22, 2025, 12:43 AM EST. Alphabet (GOOGL) shares have surged ~22% in 3 months and ~58% in the last year, raising questions about current valuation. The analysis credits strong execution across Search, YouTube, and especially Cloud, with gains suggesting momentum after a multi-year TSR.

Risks include regulatory pressure and AI-driven search disruption that could erode Alphabet's moat. Valuation shows a PE ~29.8 vs 16.8 for peers and a fair multiple ~37.3.

The rally comes after a solid 90-day run and a 1-year total return of ~28%, yet the shares still trade below a key analyst target, pointing to potential upside if the growth trajectory and margins hold. A fair value around $47.70 suggests undervalued status, driven by technology investments, productivity gains, and operating leverage. However, risks include possible hiccups in acquisitions, regulatory lawsuits, and whether the market has already priced in cash flows, as the SWS DCF fair value lands nearer $38.73, below the current price. Investors should weigh growth prospects, earnings power, and risk factors before sizing exposure.
