GF Value™ verdict: Current price is $43.53, compared to GF Value™ of $49.58, indicating it is 12.2% undervalued.GF Score™: 75/100, categorized as Above Average, suggesting solid long-term performance potential.Most notable signal: Insiders sold $5.3M in shares over the last three months, indicating possible caution. Is DVN Overvalued or Undervalued? Devon Energy Corp DVN is currently trading at $43.53, which is 12.2% below its GF Value™ of $49.58. This undervaluation suggests a potential opportunity for investors, as the stock may be priced lower than its intrinsic value. The GF Valuation label categorizes DVN as Modestly Undervalued, indicating that there is a margin of safety for potential investors. However, it is important to note that while the current price presents an attractive entry point, the company’s recent insider selling activity may imply some caution in the market.

This valuation approach considers various factors, including the company's financial health and industry trends, providing a comprehensive view of the stock’s true worth.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 15, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) between February 25, 2026 and April 13, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 28, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Lucid securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Lucid class action, go to https://www.rosenlegal.com/cases/lucid-group-inc-2026/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 28, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) a supplier quality issue had significantly disrupted deliveries of the Lucid Gravity; (2) the foregoing was likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on Lucid's business and financial results; (3) accordingly, the defendants had overstated the purported enhancements to Lucid's manufacturing and delivery capabilities and overall operations; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Lucid class action, go to https://www.rosenlegal.com/cases/lucid-group-inc-2026/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

What's Next for Dave & Buster's?While Dave & Buster's has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Why Dave & Buster's Stock Is Ripping Higher Despite Ugly EarningsDave & Buster's Entertainment NASDAQ: PLAY reported weaker-than-expected first-quarter results for fiscal 2026, with management pointing to macroeconomic pressure in April, a softer consumer backdrop and promotional missteps as contributors to a 5.4% decline in comparable store sales.
Chief Executive Officer Tarun Lal told investors that the quarter “came in below both our own expectations and the expectations we set with you last quarter.” Lal said the company began the quarter well in February and that the March-April spring break calendar shift unfolded largely as expected, but April was pressured by “elevated gas prices, geopolitical uncertainty, and a meaningful softness in consumer sentiment.”

Chief Financial Officer Darin Harper said first-quarter revenue was $559 million. Net income was $6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, while adjusted net income was $8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA was $123 million, representing a 22% adjusted EBITDA margin.
Management Says Trends Have Improved in Q2 Dave & Buster’s Stock: Is Now the Time to Make a PLAY?Despite the first-quarter decline, executives said comparable sales trends have improved so far in the second quarter. Lal said quarter-to-date comps were down approximately 4%, despite unfavorable weather, and said the company remains confident in improvement later in the quarter.
Harper clarified during the question-and-answer session that management’s expectation for positive comparable store sales applies “starting today through the balance of the year,” rather than necessarily including the quarter-to-date decline already recorded in Q2.
Executives attributed their confidence to initiatives already underway, including new games, food and beverage changes, marketing adjustments, store remodels and entertainment activations tied to major events such as the World Cup.
Back-to-Basics Strategy Focuses on Games, Food, Marketing and Operations Lal said Dave & Buster’s has drifted in recent years from elements that historically supported the brand, including investment in games, food and beverage, marketing and operational execution. He described the current plan as a “back-to-basics” strategy intended to restore those pillars.
Food and beverage was one of the stronger areas in the quarter. Lal said comparable food and beverage sales grew approximately 5% in Q1, helped by the company’s return to a historically proven menu last October and stronger execution of its Eat & Play Combo. He said the company has now posted nine straight months of positive food and beverage same-store sales.
Harper said special events grew approximately 3% during the quarter. In response to a question from William Blair analyst Sharon Zackfia, Lal said the company is investing in its special events organization and using its database to reach corporate and institutional customers. He said the goal is to convert event guests into repeat visitors by improving games, food and value offerings.
The company also emphasized renewed investment in arcade content. Lal said Dave & Buster’s recently rolled out 10 new games, the largest rollout since 2017, and expects at least five more new games later in fiscal 2026. He cited new titles including Hot Wheels Ultimate Speedway, ICEE Slush Rush, John Wick: Continental Pursuit, Odin’s Hammer Strike, Perfect Pump, The Mandalorian & Grogu and Stranger Things-related content.
Harper said the new games are meant to refresh more than 10% of the game room floor and improve relevance and traffic, rather than simply increase spending from guests already in stores. Lal added that consumers are spending more time on the games floor and that the company’s challenge is to market the new games more effectively.
Promotional and Media Strategy Being Reworked Lal said the company’s “dollar-per-day” messaging did not resonate as strongly as management had hoped, prompting a shift to what he described as more compelling promotions. In the Q&A session, he said guests have been asking for both improved product and stronger value.
Management said the company is working to rebuild its marketing strategy around a simpler promotional calendar, media mix modeling and a better balance between television and digital advertising. Lal said Dave & Buster’s had previously swung too far in both directions — first spending heavily on television and later shifting heavily toward digital — and is now using data to guide channel decisions.
The company also described its World Cup activation as a key summer initiative. Lal said the offering includes two soccer-inspired arcade games, tournament-themed food and drinks, tickets to major World Cup matches placed inside Human Crane games and a ticketed “Hat Trick Watch Experience” that includes all-you-can-eat wings and fries and unlimited gameplay starting at $24.99.
Capital Spending Discipline and Free Cash Flow Remain Priorities Dave & Buster’s generated $25 million in free cash flow during the first quarter, compared with negative free cash flow of $59 million in the prior-year period, an $84 million improvement. Harper said the company ended the quarter with $20 million in cash and $499 million in total liquidity, including availability under its $650 million revolving credit facility, net of $20 million in letters of credit.
Management maintained its expectation for more than $100 million in free cash flow for fiscal 2026 and said net capital expenditures are expected to be no more than $200 million, down from approximately $270 million in fiscal 2025. Lal said the company is focused on “strict capital expenditure discipline” and minimum return thresholds.
The company continues to expect 11 new stores in fiscal 2026. However, Harper said Dave & Buster’s is evaluating whether to redirect some future new store capital toward core business investments, remodels, deleveraging or other shareholder returns. In response to a Raymond James analyst question, Harper said he would anticipate about half the number of new units in fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2028, or roughly five new units, based on current thinking.
Store remodels remain part of the investment plan. Lal said six remodels have recently opened under a new, lower-cost prototype, with two more planned in the coming months. Management said the new remodels cost about half as much as the prior remodel program while producing a similar sales lift, with the remodeled locations outperforming the rest of the system by nearly 700 basis points.
International Franchise Growth Continues Harper said Dave & Buster’s opened its fifth international franchise location in Australia during the first quarter and its sixth in Delhi, India, during the second quarter. The company expects at least one more international opening this year in Mexico City.
Harper said Dave & Buster’s has agreements for more than 30 additional international franchise stores in coming years and views international franchising as an asset-light growth opportunity with limited investment and risk.
In closing remarks, Lal said the company is in the early stages of its transformation and is focused on same-store sales growth, EBITDA expansion and free cash flow generation. He said guest feedback is informing decisions across games, food, value, marketing and operations, and that management expects to provide updates on additional intellectual property partnerships in the coming months.

JetBlue Airways (JBLU +6.99%), a carrier providing air transportation across the U.S. Caribbean, Latin America, Canada, and Europe, closed Monday at $5.36, up 6.99%. The stock moved higher as sector optimism and upgraded second-quarter revenue guidance boosted sentiment, and investors are watching how stronger RASM growth and capacity expansion sustain the turnaround narrative.
The company’s trading volume reached 44.5 million shares, which is about 56% above compared with its three-month average of 28.5 million shares. JetBlue Airways went public in 2002 and has fallen 60% since its IPO.

Within airlines, industry peer Southwest Airlines (LUV +1.34%) closed at $46.08, up 1.34%, as carriers tracked improving demand and lower fuel-price expectations.
What this means for investorsJetBlue shares increased after the airline raised its second-quarter RASM outlook to 9%–12% year over year, up from 7%–11%, which signals stronger demand and pricing. While lower oil prices and a broader airline rally contributed, the primary driver was JetBlue’s improved unit-revenue outlook as it advances its JetForward turnaround plan.
The key question next is whether this revenue growth will lead to improved margins and cash flow. JetBlue continues to face fuel-cost pressures, credit concerns, and execution risks from rapid capacity growth, so higher RASM alone does not guarantee a successful turnaround. Investors will be following the Upcoming earnings, which will indicate whether demand, cost control, and disciplined capacity growth can keep JetBlue on track with its JetForward targets, as leverage remains a significant challenge.

EXCLUSIVE: In a tough and rough election year for incumbents, Paramount’s $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery has become a political football in California and across the nation.
Just a few feet from Donald Trump, a smiling David Ellison was front and center last night for the UFC’s controversial and inflammatory Freedom250 cage matches on the White House lawn. Still, even with the Justice Department approving the WBD merger late last week without any concessions, the Paramount Skydance’s CEO’s happy face masked some spikey obstacles to the merger from overseas and in state houses over Ellison’s strategic bear hug with the ex-Apprentice host.
“The Ellisons’ haste to get their deal done by Trump has a lot of enemies,” an individual close to power players in Sacramento told Deadline after the June 12 sign-off by the federal DOJ. “They may think they’re home free, but that’s wishful thinking and not political reality.”
(L-R) California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Paramount CEO David Ellison Getty Images Led by California’s reelection-seeking Rob Bonta, nearly a dozen state attorneys general are poised to launch a lawsuit in the next few weeks to derail the ParaBros deal or at least take a bite out of it, Deadline can confirm. However, for all the antitrust threats opponents to the merger have floated, the mainly unspoken but real battle in this year of midterm elections seems to be about old-fashioned politics and firing up the base.
Having told Deadline ages ago that his office was pondering an antitrust action over the WBD meld, AG Bonta threw cold water on the Trump DOJ’s signoff last week with a curt “the merger of Warner Bros and Paramount is not a done deal and remains under investigation by my office” tweet.
At the same time, the Ellisons have retained Jeffrey Kessler to get in the legal octagon for them if the state throws down.
Having fought alongside Bonta, New York AG Letitia James and others recently in successfully pinning Live Nation in the antitrust suit the Trump administration had walked away from, Kessler is an inspired choice by Paramount on many levels. Kessler won’t tip his hand to the electoral backroom moves at play, but the Winston & Strawn litigator is very skeptical the states have an antitrust suit when it comes to ParaBros.
“I have great respect for the states,” Kessler told Deadline in true diplomatic fashion. From the lawyer’s POV there will be no “reduction in competition” in Hollywood if the two companies become one. “I think they’re very talented lawyers there, and I think they do a lot of wonderful things for the public good. I will not criticize the states in any way, shape or form.”
With the precision of a closing argument, he adds: “What I would say is what I would hope they are doing, and I believe they are doing is seeing if they actually have an antitrust case to bring that has a reasonable chance for success. My hope is that they keep an open mind, that they don’t make a decision based on politics on an antitrust case, and that they only file an action if they really think that they can prove an antitrust violation. That process takes a long time, so it doesn’t surprise me that they haven’t filed anything yet.”
Certainly, besides the midterms in November, there are some other real time calendars issues coming up fast for Paramount.
As a multi-phased review by UK regulators may have thrown their own spanner in Para-WBD works last week, there is some serious money on the table for Ellison and his Oracle founder father if the merger isn’t locked in by September 30. At that point, a ticking fee kicks in and Paramount would be paying hundreds of millions out to WBD shareholders every subsequent month.
For a merger already weighed down by debt and foreign interest concerns, that real money is a big deal.
Adhering the illusion of still being on the fence over the ParaBros merger even as they are sitting down with potential outside counsel and have received a newly flush antitrust-fighting war chest from Gov. Gavin Newsom, Bonta’s team will only say they are “taking a very close look and intend to be vigorous in our review of the proposed Paramount and Warner Bros merger.”
In a vigorous(ish) AG race against Republican Michael Gates this year, Bonta has been showing up almost everywhere, including a very partisan IATSE attended mock hearing in Burbank by Sen. Adam Schiff in March, pounding the Ellisons, to be seen in the warm glow of anti-merger activists and layoff fearing Hollywood workers.
“Our office will take necessary action if we find that the transaction is unlawful under antitrust law,” a circumspect spokesperson for the Golden State AG told Deadline this week as anticipation of their expect action has only grown in the last week. “The opposite is also true: we will give it a fair review on the merits, and if it looks good for California consumers, there won’t be further action. California DOJ has been doing this work for a long time: our office has intervened in mergers in the grocery, broadcast market, and healthcare industries and has no qualms about stepping in and stopping deals we find illegal — and stepping back if those deals pass regulatory scrutiny.”
“Beyond this, the Paramount acquisition of Warner Brothers remains an active investigation, and we do not have any updates to share at this time.”
On the other side of the country, NY AG James faces far lesser GOP rivals as the Trump foe heads into her own primary later this month. To that, James has played less of a role publicly in any Paramount-WBD legal action, while being a “big player” behind the scenes, I’m told. In that context, a spokesperson from the New York Attorney General’s office confirmed New York was part of the coalition of states lining up in opposition to the big bucks and seemingly fast-tracked merger but declined to discuss any potential lawsuit.
“Paramount is going to have to give something up, maybe control of CNN, if they want this deal to happen,” a well-placed political operative asserts. “They could have handled it differently from the start and maybe, maybe, have gotten buy-in from Democrats, They went full MAGA and there too many objections, too many minefields now.”
With big names like Mark Ruffalo, Jane Fonda and others taking to podiums and Zoom calls to invoke the First Amendment and decry the Ellisons’ links to MAGA (with the future of CNN eating up a lot of the spotlight after the ongoing chaos at the Bari Weiss-led CBS News), a follow-the-money game separate from the state AGs has emerged. As over 5,000 Tinseltowners signed an open letter praising Bonta and other mainly Blue State AGs for “scrutinizing the merger and considering legal action to block it,” the Block the Merger movement has been swatted with allegations it’s all being masterminded by MAGA boogieman George Soros and a cadre of socialist billionaires and antisemites.
Closer to home in the Democrats civil war that is the L.A. mayoral race between vulnerable incumbent Karen Bass and her ex-ally Councilmember Nithya Raman, the takeover of the David Zaslav-run WBD by Paramount has become a major campaign issue In a city pummeled by a massive decline in production, the loss of over 40,000 industry jobs the past couple of years and worries over deep cuts once ParaBros occurs.
Personally connected to Hollywood through her producer/writer spouse, Raman was blunt about where she sees this all going.
“This merger is bad for Los Angeles, and its math only works through mass layoffs,” the two-term Hollywood heavy District 4 councilor says. “When Skydance bought Paramount, over 2,000 people lost their jobs, many of them in Los Angeles,” she adds. “This is what consolidation looks like on the ground. Billionaires will benefit, while the workers who built this industry get left behind. I’m grateful the attorneys general are acting to block it, and as mayor I’ll make sure Los Angeles does everything in its power to support their case.”
(L-R) Nithya Raman, Karen Bass Getty Images Bass, who has lashed out at Raman over inaction for Hollywood even before her political pal beat Hills alum Spencer Pratt to secure a second spot in the fall runoff, was more measured, kinda.
“The entertainment industry is at the core of who we are as a city, LA’s place on the global stage, and to our entire economy,” the ex-Congresswoman told Deadline. “I cannot support a deal that results in massive job losses,” Bass, who has family members of her own working in the industry, went on to say.
“I urge regulators to enforce job protections and creative freedom, and I call on Paramount’s leadership to redouble its commitment to the industry workers in our city.”

Additionally, with a GF Valuation label of fairly valued, the stock's current price suggests a margin of safety for potential investors.

Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe said the company will release supervised self-driving tech this year, with hands-free, eye-off driving coming in 2027. Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for Rivian Rivian's CEO says the company is on track to release a supervised self-driving system similar to Tesla's Full Self-Driving later this year.
During a fireside chat at a Masters of Scale event in Anaheim on Thursday, CEO RJ Scaringe said Rivian will release an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) that could enable the company's second-generation cars and the new R2 to drive on their own with supervision from one destination to another — also known as point-to-point driving.
The CEO compared the tech to Tesla FSD.
"Later this year, we'll have full supervised point-to-point, which will be very similar to Tesla's FSD," he said. "And that'll roll out to all of our Gen 2 vehicles and, of course, R2."
The release would be a notable step up from Rivian's current self-driving system, called Universal Hands-Free, if Scaringe's projection is realized.
UHF is an ADAS that can handle steering and speed control on about 3.5 million miles of clearly-marked roads in the US and Canada. It does not navigate turns, traffic lights, or parking lots like Tesla's FSD Supervised.
Scaringe's pronouncement could mean that Rivian has advanced its ADAS to a level of driving similar to FSD within a year of its release to customers.
The CEO did not specify if there would be a limit on the number of miles the self-driving tech could handle upon first release. Rivian did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Last December, the company announced a push to develop fully autonomous driving technology for its future vehicle lineup, enabling hands-free, eyes-off driving.
Scaringe said at the event that unsupervised self-driving will be released next year.
Part of Rivian's strategy is to develop autonomous driving for robotaxi fleets. The company inked a $1.25 billion deal with Uber in March, in which the ride-hailing company could buy up to 50,000 R2s for its robotaxi aspirations.

Based on the current price of $27.11 and the GF Value™ estimate of $16.27, Cenovus Energy Inc appears to be significantly overvalued, with a margin of safety of 66.6%. This valuation label suggests that the stock is trading well above its intrinsic value, which poses a risk to potential investors.

On June 15, 2026, Targa Resources Corp TRGP shares fell 3.8% to $262.33, reflecting a slight decline over the past week and month, but a notable increase of 43.6% year-to-date. The stock has traded between $144.14 and $280.00 over the past 52 weeks.
GF Value™ verdict: Current price of $262.33 vs GF Value™ of $167.33, indicating a 56.8% overvaluation.GF Score™: 74/100, categorized as Above Average, suggesting potential for higher long-term returns.Most notable signal: Insiders sold $2.7 million in shares over the last three months, indicating a lack of buying support from those closest to the company. Is TRGP Overvalued or Undervalued? The current price of Targa Resources Corp TRGP stands at $262.33, significantly higher than the GF Value™ estimate of $167.33. This discrepancy highlights a considerable margin of safety for potential investors, as the stock is marked as 56.8% overvalued according to GF Value™. The GF Valuation label categorizes TRGP as significantly overvalued, which suggests that the market price may not accurately reflect the company's intrinsic value.
Being overvalued presents risk for investors, as the potential for price correction could lead to losses if the market realigns with the underlying value of the company. The GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. With the current high price relative to its estimated fair value, investors might want to consider this valuation carefully.
How Does TRGP's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 26.7x 27.7x Forward P/E 24.8x N/A The current P/E (TTM) of 26.7x is slightly below its 5-year median of 27.7x, indicating that TRGP is trading close to its historical valuation levels.

However, the valuation score of 3/10 signals a significant concern regarding the current price, suggesting that the market may not be reflecting the company's fundamentals accurately.
What Are Insiders Doing with TRGP Stock? Recent insider activity shows a selling trend, with insiders selling $2.7 million worth of shares over the last three months and no reported buying. This pattern could indicate a lack of confidence among insiders regarding the stock's future performance, as they appear to be liquidating their holdings rather than accumulating more shares.
Such selling by insiders can be a red flag for investors, as it may suggest that those with the most knowledge about the company's operations do not anticipate any significant upside in the near future.

This margin of safety provides a potential opportunity for investors, as the GF Valuation label is categorized as "Modestly Undervalued."

The highest ratings are in Financial Strength and Growth, both at 10/10, indicating robust financial health and solid growth prospects.

Overall, the strong financial and growth scores highlight the potential for long-term value in WPM.
What Are Insiders Doing with WPM Stock? There have been no insider transactions in the last 3 months for Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. This lack of insider buying or selling suggests that insiders may currently be holding their shares, which can indicate confidence in the company's future performance or a lack of perceived value in selling at the current price.

With a significant margin of safety and strong GF Score™, the stock presents an interesting opportunity for long-term investors.

Centene Monday confirmed plans to offer a "Voluntary Separation Program to support employees who may be considering a transition,” the company said in a statement June 15, 2026
Centene
Health insurer Centene, looking to cut costs after losing more than two million Obamacare health plan members, Monday confirmed plans to offer companywide buyouts to most employees.
Centene, which has 61,000 employees, didn’t disclose whether there was a specific number of workers that the company expected to take a buyout, which is being offered to “most” but not all employees, the company said.
“Centene is positioning the company to lead the future of healthcare - working to deliver a simpler and better experience for our members and partners while meeting the realities of today’s healthcare environment,” the company said in a statement. "Today we announced a Voluntary Separation Program to support employees who may be considering a transition.”
In April, Centene reported first quarter net income of more than $1.5 billion despite a drop of 2 million enrollees in individual coverage under the Affordable Care Act also known as Obamacare. Centene is one of the nation’s largest providers of Obamacare and the enrollment disclosure as part of the company’s first quarter earnings report was a snapshot into what health insurers and Americans who buy their coverage are facing after Congress and the Trump administration failed to renew enhanced subsidies.
Like other health insurers, Centene has been working to reduce administrative costs and other expenses. Centene’s first quarter earnings report indicated high healthcare costs that have been a drag in past earnings may be stabilizing somewhat as the company’s health benefits ratio, which is the percentage of premium spent on medical costs was down slightly to 87.3% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 87.5% in the first quarter of 2025.
But it’s more difficult for health insurers to control expenses if the pool of patients paying premiums is dwindling. Centene said in April that its enrollment in “marketplace” plans it sells under the Ambetter brand dropped to 3.58 million at the end of the first quarter compared to 5.54 million at the end of last year and 5.62 million in the year ago quarter.
MORE FOR YOU
The big dip in Centene’s enrollment is what Democrats in Congress and health insurance industry analysts said would happen after Republicans in Congress and the Donald Trump White House wouldn’t agree to extend enhanced tax credits for buyers of Obamacare. A KFF analysis last fall said middle income Americans “as well as those with low incomes” will see “major out-of-pocket premium increases" if tax credits aren’t extended. And they are with customers reporting a doubling and even tripling of premiums for this year.
The subsidies, or tax credits, made health insurance premiums more affordable for individuals and were enhanced by the Biden administration and the Democratic-controlled Congress, which passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, allowing more Americans to buy coverage. The enhanced subsidies helped enrollment in the ACA’s individual coverage, also known as Obamacare, eclipse a record 24 million Americans and help its popularity hit all-time highs.
Centene is scheduled to release its second quarter earnings report on July 28.
LendingClub has transformed into a diversified digital banking platform, evidenced by Q1 2026 deposits reaching $10.2 billion, up 14% YoY.

The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz reminds investors of the upcoming June 22, 2026 deadline to participate as a lead plaintiff in the securities fraud class action lawsuit filed on behalf of investors who acquired LKQ Corporation (“LKQ” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LKQ) common stock between February 27, 2023 and July 23, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR WHO LOST MONEY ON LKQ CORPORATION (LKQ), CLICK HERE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SECURITIES FRAUD LAWSUIT.
What Happened?
On April 23, 2024, LKQ lowered its full-year 2024 financial guidance, citing worsening performance in its North American operations, where the Company’s recently acquired subsidiary FinishMaster, was being integrated, while attributing the decline in part to slowing demand and warmer weather, and announcing the departure of its CEO.
On this news, LKQ’s stock price fell $7.28 per share, or 14.9%, to close at $41.65 per share on April 23, 2024, thereby injuring investors.
Then, on July 25, 2024, LKQ reported second quarter 2024 financial results that missed its previously reduced expectations and again lowered its full-year 2024 guidance, citing continued weakness in its North American segment.
On this news, LKQ’s stock price fell $5.53 per share, or 12.4%, to close at $5.53 per share on July 25, 2024, thereby further injuring investors.
Next, on April 24, 2025, LKQ reported that its Wholesale North America segment, where FinishMaster was fully integrated, missed revenue targets by approximately $200 million and disclosed that, contrary to its prior assurances that FinishMaster would improve margins, the segment missed EBITDA targets and experienced a year-over-year margin decline.
On this news, LKQ’s stock price fell $4.87 per share, or 11.6%, to close at $37.26 per share on April 24, 2025, thereby further injuring investors.
Finally, on July 24, 2025, LKQ reported that its segment margin performance continued to deteriorate, attributing the declines to competitors taking market share by undercutting pricing. The Company again missed EBITDA targets by approximately $20 million and disclosed a year-over-year margin decline of 11%, while admitting that the declines were predominantly driven by business losses due to increased competition for FinishMaster.
On this news, LKQ’s stock price fell $6.88 per share, or 17.8%, to close at $31.73 per share on July 24, 2025, thereby further injuring investors.
What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) FinishMaster was losing major customers from the time the acquisition was announced and its business could not sustain, let alone grow, LKQ’s eroding market share; (2) such risks regarding the Uni-Select acquisition and FinishMaster integration had already materialized and were negatively impacting LKQ’s operational and financial performance; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired LKQ common stock between February 27, 2023 and July 23, 2025, the deadline to seek appointment as the lead plaintiff in the securities fraud class action is June 22, 2026.

GF Value™ verdict: Current price is $100.32 vs GF Value™ of $58.17, indicating a 72.5% overvaluation.GF Score™ of 75/100 suggests the company is rated Above Average based on key performance metrics.Most notable signal: Insiders sold $51.7M worth of shares in the last 3 months, showing no buying activity. Is MCHP Overvalued or Undervalued? Microchip Technology Inc MCHP is currently trading at a significant premium when compared to its GF Value™, which estimates the intrinsic value of the stock at $58.17. This indicates that MCHP is overvalued by approximately 72.5%, suggesting a lack of margin of safety for potential investors. The GF Valuation label classifies the stock as "Significantly Overvalued," raising concerns about the sustainability of its current price levels. Investors must be cautious, as purchasing shares at inflated valuations can expose them to substantial risks, particularly if market sentiment shifts or if the company's performance does not justify the high price.
GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. Given the current valuation context, it is crucial to consider whether MCHP can deliver the growth necessary to support its high price in the long term.
How Does MCHP's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 477.7x 27.2x Forward P/E 31.9x N/A The current P/E ratio of 477.7x is significantly above its 5-year median P/E of 27.2x, indicating that MCHP is trading well above its historical valuation levels. The forward P/E of 31.9x does not alleviate concerns, as it remains high relative to typical industry standards. This P/E analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, reinforcing the conclusion that MCHP is overvalued in the current market environment.
What Does MCHP's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 75/100 Financial Strength 5/10 Profitability 6/10 Growth 7/10 Valuation 3/10 Momentum 10/10 The GF Score™ of 75/100 indicates that Microchip Technology Inc is rated Above Average based on its overall performance metrics. The strongest aspect is the Momentum Rank at 10/10, showing that the stock has performed well in the short term. However, the Valuation Rank of 3/10 raises concerns about the sustainability of its current price. Financial Strength is rated at 5/10, suggesting moderate stability, while Profitability and Growth scores of 6/10 and 7/10 respectively indicate decent operational performance. Overall, while MCHP shows promise in growth and momentum, its valuation metrics signal caution.
What Are Insiders Doing with MCHP Stock? Recent insider activity reveals that insiders of Microchip Technology Inc have sold $51.7 million in shares over the past three months, with no reported buying activity during the same period. This pattern suggests a lack of confidence from insiders in the current valuation levels of the company, as selling shares may indicate that they believe the stock is overpriced or that they are taking profits after a significant price increase.
The absence of insider buying further amplifies the cautionary stance surrounding MCHP, as it typically reflects a lack of belief in the stock's future potential at current price levels.
What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, Microchip Technology Inc MCHP is currently categorized as overvalued. The significant disparity between the current price and intrinsic value, coupled with concerning insider activity and high valuations, suggests that potential investors should approach this stock with caution.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Ensign Group (NASDAQ: ENSG) investors saw the price of their shares in the skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”) provider tumble over 8% on June 8 and another 3% on June 11, 2026 after Hunterbrook Media and Muddy Waters Research, respectively, published highly critical reports questioning Ensign’s business practices.
In total, over $500 million of Ensign’s market capitalization has been wiped out since June 7, 2026, the day before the first of the two reports.
These developments have prompted national shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman to open an investigation into allegations within the two reports and whether Ensign may have violated the federal securities laws.

The Ensign Group (ENSG) Investigation:
The investigation is primarily focused on the propriety of Ensign’s disclosures about SNF acquisitions, regulatory compliance, and certain accounting matters.
In the past, Ensign repeatedly assured investors that “compliance and quality outcomes are precursors to outstanding financial performance” and “we strive to aggressively increase quality in every facility we acquire, and to adjust our overall policies to adapt to CMS’s changing criteria for the Five-Star Quality Rating System.”
But, on June 8, 2026, Hunterbrook published its report, contending in part that “Ensign’s profits can be traced to providing less care than its patients need – and less care than it is meant to provide based on the tax dollars it receives from the government.” In addition, the firm said that “[w]e found Ensign’s growth strategy is to buy struggling nursing homes – then cut staff at those facilities and bank the savings, all while claiming quality improves.”
Then, on June 11, 2026, Muddy Waters Research published its report, adding to Hunterbrook’s analysis. Muddy Waters sent investigators to 57 of Ensign’s SNFs and found “red flags consistent with rented” NHA licenses that enabled “Ensign to state the facilities have licensed Administrators when in fact these administrators are seldom on premise and do not substantively manage the facilities.”
The firm concluded that “this scheme, which could amount to fraud against states, Medicare, and Medicaid, is the pillar upon which Ensign’s acquisition strategy and margins is built[]” and “[u]nder the False Claims Act, if these practices have been in place for one year at ~20% of facilities, we estimate the violations carry theoretical sanctions in the billions of dollars.”
“Our investigation is focused on whether the analysts’ allegations are accurate and, if so, whether Ensign may have misled investors about its business practices and accounting,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.

Payoneer Global (PAYO +4.15%), which provides cross-border payment solutions for SMBs, closed Monday at $7.03, up 4.15%. The stock moved higher after news that Nuvei agreed to acquire Payoneer for $7.40 per share in cash. Trading volume reached 78.4 million shares, about 1,191% above its three-month average of 6.1 million shares. Payoneer Global IPO'd in 2020 and has fallen 27% since going public.
How the markets moved todayThe S&P 500 rose 1.67% to 7,555, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 3.07% to finish at 26,684. Within financial technology, industry peers Paymentus closed at $21.26, up 0.66%, and Flywire ended at $15.31, gaining 4.08% as digital payments names advanced.
What this means for investorsRoughly one week after takeover buzz about Nuvei acquiring Payoneer for $2.7 billion originally hit the press, the two companies agreed to a $2.75 billion deal, confirming the rumors. Since the acquisition rumors first leaked, Payoneer stock has risen an additional 8%, narrowing the gap between its $7.03 share price and Nuvei’s updated $7.40 cash offer.
The remaining gap is only about 5%, suggesting the market believes the deal is likely to go through.
While Payoneer’s average annual sales growth was roughly 18% over the last five years, and it generated solid free cash flow (FCF), its stock struggled to take off. This languishing share price, steady double-digit revenue growth, and reasonable valuation at 19 times FCF made it a prime takeout candidate for Nuvei.

1 As a percentage of 5/29/2026 NAV You should not draw any conclusions about the Funds’ investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Funds’ Plan. The Funds’ estimate that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Funds is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Funds’ investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income.’ The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Section 19(a) Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Funds’ investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Funds will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Shares of closed-end funds often trade at a discount from their net asset value. The market price of Fund shares may vary from net asset value based on factors affecting the supply and demand for shares, such as Fund distribution rates relative to similar investments, investors' expectations for future distribution changes, the clarity of the Fund's investment strategy and future return expectations, and investors' confidence in the underlying markets in which the Fund invests. Fund shares are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal invested. No Fund is a complete investment program and you may lose money investing in a Fund. An investment in a Fund may not be appropriate for all investors. Before investing, prospective investors should consider carefully the Fund's investment objective, risks, charges and expenses.
Certain statements made on behalf of the Funds in this release are forward-looking statements. The Funds’ actual future results may differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including but not limited to a decline in value in equity markets in general or the Funds' investments specifically. Neither the Funds nor Voya Investment Management undertake any responsibility to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement.
This information should not be used as a basis for legal and/or tax advice. In any specific case, the parties involved should seek the guidance and advice of their own legal and tax counsel.

LLC or its affiliates, and one or more other financial institutions (the "forward purchasers"), with respect to 14,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In connection with the forward sale agreement, the forward purchasers or their affiliates are expected to borrow and sell to the underwriters an aggregate of 14,000,000 shares of the common stock that will be delivered in the offering. Subject to its right to elect cash or net share settlement, which right is subject to certain conditions, the Company intends to deliver, upon physical settlement of such forward sale agreements on one or more dates specified by the Company occurring no later than June 16, 2027 an aggregate of 14,000,000 shares of its common stock (or an aggregate of 16,100,000 shares of common stock if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full) to the forward purchasers in exchange for cash proceeds per share equal to the applicable forward sale price, subject to certain adjustments as provided in the forward sale agreements.
The Company will not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock by the forward purchasers or their affiliates in the offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds, if any, it receives upon the future settlement of the forward sale agreements to fund future acquisition opportunities and for general corporate purposes. Pending such use, the Company may invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing deposit accounts.
Selling common stock through the forward sale agreements enables the Company to set the price of such shares upon the pricing of the offering (subject to certain adjustments) while delaying the issuance of such shares and the receipt of the net proceeds by the Company until a time closer to the funding requirements described above.

Tyler Crowe: We're talking opportunities in Europe's digital sovereignty on Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing. Welcome to Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing. I'm your host, Tyler Crowe, and today I'm joined by longtime Fool contributors, Lou Whiteman and Matt Frankel. Today, we're going to hit a couple of listener questions as we like to do here on Tuesdays, and it's been a slow news week, at least from companies issuing press releases. We're going to do two whole segments based dedicated to listener questions. We're going to talk about valuation. We're going to talk about how we use our cash and our dry powder, our investing strategies.
But we wanted to start today with a couple of news articles that I'm going to string together into a theme that we're going to call Europe's digital sovereignty. We'll start off with a big story that came out today related to Apple, who's in a bit of a, to use the British parlance, a row with the European Union about its digital privacy rules and its Siri AI assistance. Basically, Apple's not looking to get an extension or a waiver or an exemption, and E.U. is like, no, follow our rules. Basically, it's going back and forth, and it's not pretty.
But the bigger theme here, because this is one story of many that we've seen recently around Europe, and it's this theme of digital sovereignty — I want to say nationalism. That isn't quite the right word. But basically, Europe is looking like they want to make a more concerted effort to own things, to be a bigger player in a lot of the discussions that we have around things like AI, semiconductor manufacturing, payment rails, social media, and they're looking to build their own products.
This isn't just Europe either; this is a worldwide thing. China announced earlier that it's deploying a $250 billion fund to build data centers nationwide for its, we'll call it, its home-cooked AI instead of relying on the Anthropics or the OpenAIs of the world. Now, the Chinese digital market has always been a walled garden, with the BYDs and the Alibabas not necessarily playing as well with U.S. companies, so that's not much of a game changer when we talk about AI and digital development here. But does the emergence of these rules and these European initiatives to put, I wouldn't say full-on gates, but screen doors, I guess, if you will, around European markets alter the thesis on big tech companies or AI deployment or anything that you've been seeing recently? What do you say, Matt?
Matt Frankel: It's not surprising that Apple is not thrilled by this. I mean, Apple Intelligence and several of its newer features have been either delayed or limited in the E.U. in recent years. Google, Meta, Amazon are also dealing with all this; it's not just Apple. It's also not surprising, on the other hand, that Europe wants more digital sovereignty. We're doing the same thing. For example, when it comes to the chipmakers, the investments we're making in Intel's foundry and things like that. Nations are realizing that depending on foreign suppliers for critical infrastructure and technology needs, it's a national security concern. But as to the question of does this change the thesis, my short answer is yes, but not as much as you might think. All the companies I just mentioned — Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon — they all depend on Europe for somewhere 20-30% of their revenue. If we see their sales declined by 10-20%, or their margins declined by 10-20%, which I view as the worst-case scenario by this news, it wouldn't completely change my thesis. Smart investors, like you said, already assume that China is essentially a closed market when it comes to evaluating these stocks, but I don't think the same thing is needed with the E.U. here. I'm not rethinking any of my big tech investments on this news.
Lou Whiteman: I don't know if you have to rethink your investments, but I'm not sure that just looking at today's profit-and-loss statement and extrapolating off of that is really the way to look at this because I think there could be less foreseen, if not consequences. Part of what makes Apple Apple is iOS is just everywhere. It's ubiquitous. It feeds into the Apple Store development, and it feeds into the network effect that it's enjoyed. To the extent that this trend towards regionalism, instead of globalism, causes a Balkanization of tech, I think it makes every company, including Apple's products, just less powerful, maybe less profitable over time.
This isn't just a tech story; it's playing out all over the place. Automotive is a real one where it's definitely happening; you just have the U.S. market and the global market going in separate directions. The big picture here is the ‘80s and ‘90s vision of globally dominant companies is getting overhauled by just geopolitics about what's going on. U.S. companies can evolve and survive. I don't think it again; I'm not sure I'm going to change investments right now, but I'm watching this because, make no mistake, the status quo that has been in place over the years was highly favorable to the U.S. tech champions, to U.S. companies. I am doubtful that whatever replaces the status quo will be as favorable to the U.S. brand, the U.S. companies. I do think it could have really hard to predict or hard to quantify right now changes. I do think it could change the thesis for some of these companies over time.
Tyler Crowe: To that point, too, obviously, it changes the thesis and not necessarily good way for the big companies, but if I were to flip the script a little bit here, it does seem like there would be some opportunities. Because if Europe wants to build out the capacity for the things that we're talking about here, chipmakers, AI tools, things like that, there should be an opportunity for the building in the infrastructure and a lot of the, you could call them the champions of this build-out in Europe, similar to what we've had in the United States. Perhaps they haven't quite emerged yet, but I'm just thinking along the lines of it is such a nascent market relative to what we see globally. I saw a quote from ASML, the builder of the lithiography machines that basically etch chips, and they're the sole maker in the world, and he said, 80% of my sales are to Asia, 1% of them are to Europe, so clearly, this is a very small market, and that leaves us an opportunity.
If you were to start looking at the tea leaves, maybe thinking about companies, perhaps, opportunities where Europe is building out this, it doesn't necessarily have to be American companies either, but opportunities where this redundancy or this European digital sovereignty, digital infrastructure, national, regional infrastructure, where do you see some potential opportunities?
Matt Frankel: Yeah, well, I mean, the one thing I would say is that digital sovereignty means that there's going to be a lot of duplicate infrastructure throughout the world. We're seeing this in the U.S. I mentioned the chip foundries are being built here, data centers, other things like that, so there are a few types of winners that I see. There are some companies that produce equipment and software and things like that that is so unique that there's literally no equivalent; Applied Materials comes to mind. You already mentioned ASML is a company that I think is just an opportunity just in itself, no matter what. Data Center infrastructure: companies like Vertiv, ticker symbol VRT, Quanta Services (PWR) that do the electrical work for data centers. They're more obvious beneficiaries: hundreds of billions of dollars in new data centers, networking companies like Cisco, European infrastructure. If the digital sovereignty trend continues, it'll still need switches and routers, no matter what, so I see a lot of opportunities throughout the market, but those are just some that I can think of off the top of my head.
Lou Whiteman: I think there are opportunities. I mean, for some of these the infrastructure companies that are in the U.S., they only have so much capacity, and they may not have that capacity in Europe; they're unlikely to fly all their workers over to do Europe. I do think look at the European champions. Schneider Electric is a great company that is doing a lot of business in the U.S. because there isn't this business in Europe. I think you can see them switch, Lerand, which I think does the electrical cabinets that all these things go in. That is, again, a European champion that could benefit. We're not going to see Comfort Systems get a boost because they need more air conditioners in Europe. That's just not going to go to them. I think all in, selectively, this should end up with more spending, but also less efficiency. The bigger picture thing is to think about where a company sits on the value chain, whether or not it's going to be good or bad, whether they will be less efficient or have more opportunity and make decisions based on that.
Tyler Crowe: Might have to do some real follow-up deep dives on the European, actually, companies that are traded on the European markets here, because this could be an interesting story to follow in the coming months and years. Coming up after the break, we're gonna jump into listener questions.
Hey, everyone, as we get into our questions here, just a quick reminder: if you want your question asked on air, go ahead and email us at [email protected]. It's podcasts with an "S" @fool.com. We'll try to answer it as best as we can. Our three request is always, keep it Foolish. Keep it short enough. We can read it on air, and we can't give out any personalized advice. Try to ask it in a sense of, like, what would an investor do in this sort of situation.
With those rules in mind, our question to start out today is from Nowina Wikrmhinga. I hope I said that right; I apologize if I got it wrong. Her question is, the current Shiller CAPE ratio in national debt has made me a bit nervous, and I want to know what your thoughts on about adjusting a portfolio’s equaling. This is a sign to start increasing cash or rotate investments into defensive companies. Some of the ones that you mentioned here, we have Waste Management, NextEra Energy, Berkshire Hathaway, and doing this rotation, despite strong earnings in the S&P 500, thanks. Before we get started on this, Matt, I don't know if everyone's necessarily familiar with the Shiller CAPE ratio. Just give us a quick rundown of what that is before you get into the thoughts on valuation related to it.
Matt Frankel: If you're not familiar, CAPE stands for “cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings” ratio. Essentially, it takes the market's collective P/E ratio, which is one of the most common valuation metric used. But instead of using the trailing 12-month earnings, it uses 10 years of inflation-adjusted earnings. The idea here is that you're comparing current valuations against what we would consider normalized earnings across many market environments, not just earnings that result from recent trends, like the AI infrastructure boom, for example. The listener is right: the Shiller CAPE is very high right now. It's about 38; that's more than twice its long-term average, which is 16-17, depending on what time period exactly you're looking at. In the dot-com bubble, it peaked at 44, just for reference.
My short answer is that this is not a reason to be worried all by itself. For most of recent history, meaning my investing lifetime, and I'm in my 40s, the Shiller CAPE has been above its long-term historical averages, and if you had become defensive every time it crossed, say, 25 or 30, you would have missed out on a ton of upward moves. Having said that, I use an elevated CAPE as a sign that I should expect more moderate returns over, say, the next five to 10 years. But on a short-term basis, we've seen time and time again that an elevated ratio doesn't really predict much.
Lou Whiteman: I push back a bit. I think it is a reason to be worried, but I think what Matt’s saying, and I agree with it, it's just not actionable. I really worry about the market today. I think we are more likely than not near a top and probably closer to the end than the beginning, all of those cliches. The thing is, though, the CAPE was at 37 a year ago, and so I had just as much reason to be worried then. In fact, I did think, wow, how long this could go on then? It would have been a mistake for me a year ago to adjust my portfolio due to those worries; in hindsight, and maybe now is the time to take action, or maybe we'll be having the same conversation another six months to a year. I think the listener is correct to be noticing this, and we can talk about maybe how you think about this in terms of what you do with your money. But also, I don't think it's time to throw all my money under a mattress because these things can remain this way for a lot longer than I would think.
Tyler Crowe: Thought we're going to list off as many clichés: end of the line of questioning, ninth inning end of the line, riding off into the sunset, we'll just throw them all out there to make sure that we covered all our bases here. We talked about the valuation thing, but now, talking about the idea of rotating into defensive companies or maybe businesses that aren't necessarily as exposed to a lot of the trends that we're seeing in the S&P 500, which is, let's be honest here, the AI infrastructure build-out, the Mag Seven, and a lot of those companies. To the companies that we're asked here, we got Waste Management, NextEra Energy, Berkshire Hathaway, companies like that. Is that the move that you would do when you see these elevated valuations, or is that just a milquetoast way of doing it? It's like, “Yeah, we're getting into these, they're overvalued, but they're safer.” Is this the rotation you would do, or is there something else that you'd normally do in these situations?
Matt Frankel: Yes. First of all, defensive companies aren't immune to valuation-related concerns. The stocks mentioned in the listener's question, companies like Waste Management and NextEra, they actually trade for somewhat high multiples compared to their own history right now, so they could actually be a little compressed, as well. I'm going to give a more financial planner-type answer to the question. Ask yourself a few questions. No. 1, ask yourself if your asset allocation right now makes sense for your investment goals, your time horizon, and your willingness to withstand an occasional 30% drawdown. If it doesn't, then move a little bit more defensively regardless of what the CAPE ratio or any other market indicator is doing. Second, ask yourself if you're confident in the businesses that you own in terms of their ability to survive a recession. Finally, I would say, if you're investing consistently, regardless of what the market is doing, because averaging into stocks over time, it's a great defensive mechanism against valuation risk, because you're going to end up buying more of your shares at cheaper prices over time, regardless.
Lou Whiteman: My answer for this is, I'm always defensive, and it's just like my philosophy on investing. I'm always trying to find the opportunities that I think are out of favor or at least not fully appreciated by the market. Not to use the term “hidden gems,” so to speak. I don't want to chase momentum. Over the past year, I've been buying a lot more financial services companies; I've been buying industrial companies that just don't have the multiple. It's not because I think that the tech is going to crash; it's just I don't want to chase momentum. I want to go where I see value. I can't time the market, but I can try and avoid getting caught up in the market's current mania. It doesn't insulate me because, as Matt says, when a downturn comes, everybody tends to feel it; it's not like you escape things going down, but I feel like it can help avoid total wipeout. So yes, I am looking at the case; I am looking at where rech is valued, and I am investing elsewhere. It's not really because I think the sky is falling, or that things are going to come down right now. It's because I just don't find a lot of value in things when they are, say, fully loved by the market.
Tyler Crowe: Investing optimistically, but underwriting pessimistically in the sense of, Yeah, of course, I want my things to go up, but I'm going to make my investments based on the idea that they could go down and trying to build as using Seth Klarman's Margin safety built into the valuation that you use, can be pretty effective in at least helping to ease some of those valuation concerns. Coming up next, we'll talk about how cash and the dry powder our investments actually also included in valuation and how we use that first strategy.
It's Tuesday. We're going to do two investor questions here. Our second one comes from Matt Popek, and this is related to basically your cash position. Now, the question is, I know that there's some discussion of money market funds recently and how much cash is available, as he quotes, on the sidelines. Is there any downside to using a money market fund? And he gives the example of Vanguard's money market fund. Basically, most brokerages have their own some money market fund, either Vanguard, Fidelity, you name it. Is there a place to park the vast majority of savings, or in this case, cash for a brokerage?
Lou and you, Matt, specifically, where are you keeping your dry powder for future investments these days? Money markets don't quite like the stock market, at least to Matt here, even if it isn't a brokerage. Before you guys answer, I just want to give a little bit of context to Matt, and hopefully, he’ll better understand this. When you hear the term “money on the sidelines,” either here or I think I hear it all the time on CNBC, I think it's one of their most commonly use terms. That is money actually in money markets funds; it is actually what the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis tracks. Now, it might not necessarily reflect all available money to invest in the stock market because maybe some people are using certificates of deposit or longer-dated treasuries, but money market is a decent approximation. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, about $8 trillion worth of money is in money market accounts today, and $2.2 trillion of that is actually in retail investors — you, me, Lou, Matt, all of us — that is in those accounts. After that little long background, guys, do you use money market accounts? Is this the best way to do it? What are some of the other strategies?
Matt Frankel: If I'm being honest, most of the time I'm fully invested or at least pretty close to it. I like to contribute money to my brokerage account pretty much every time I get paid and allocate it where I see the best opportunities, and there always are some; there's always cheap stocks somewhere. But in times where there's either a lack of attractive opportunities or just nothing that's getting me excited, or elevated uncertainty in the market, I do often let my cash accumulate for a little while. Right now, I have 7% of my portfolio in cash; I sold a couple of stocks not that long ago, and that's a lot for me. My cash management strategy isn't that different from money market accounts. My broker happens to also offer a high-yield savings account, and I can easily transfer money between those two. That's where I put any of my uninvested cash. Right now, I get a little more than 3%, and I'm fine with that at times when I want a little bit more financial flexibility to save for opportunities I really want.
Lou Whiteman: First off, Tyler, I'm glad you gave that explanation. This question shows why that statistic that CNBC loves to cite is so imperfect because people do use money market funds for a lot of things, including cash savings that they might not be looking to deploy; some do, though. For me, I consider cash cash and investments investments and never they shall meet. In a way, I guess I am always fully invested because I don't think of my cash position as headed towards the market. I try and keep a significant amount of cash for upcoming expenses, emergency funds. I'm a believer in that nothing in the market you might need in the five years, so I do need to park cash in a lot of places.
For me, it's spread between treasury bills, and I have three online savings accounts with three different banks. I don't use money markets simply because treasuries just pay better, and there's no expenses. The Vanguard fund that Matt mentioned, it's currently yielding 3.5%. I can get a little over 3.7% in a six-month treasury, and I don't have any expense ratio on that. So that's just a personal preference. I do think there's nothing wrong with money market funds. They do tend to pay better than most online savings accounts; you don't have all of the protections, but you have a lot of protections. Just for me, treasuries are the go-to choice because you do get maybe 20 basis points better yield.
Tyler Crowe: When it comes to effort, Lou’s cash management, certainly much more than mine because I'm definitely the lazy investor who says, Yeah, park it in the money market. That tends to be my strategy, at least, although I have been accused at times from being a little bit of a lazy investor and doing things like. To Matt's point, Matt, the listener, the question. Yes, money markets, technically, they're not FDIC insured, but they tend to be invested in things like very short-term treasuries. At least that's what your broker does, and then they transfer a decent amount of that yield to you. They're getting a little bit of the spread by investing your cash, and then they pass on a significantly, I wouldn't say all of it, but enough of it that they're giving it back to you, and so those rates for money markets will tend to fluctuate over time based on Federal Reserve interest rates. I think we can all really remember in the 2010s, money market rates were maybe 0.05% or something like that. It was definitely not the attractive option that it has been in the past couple of years, where it has been at 3% range. Do keep that in mind. If we go back to the 2010s again, everyone's going to be looking at their cash and be like, This is doing absolutely nothing for me. Money markets can be effective when they're doing in a higher interest rate environment, but they can also cut both ways.

When a Roku customer turns on their TV today, hours after Fox acquired the company for $22 billion, they’ll see some familiar sights: a large box promoting the Rachel Bilson-led drama Hart of Dixie, which now streams on Pluto TV, and tiles promoting new seasons of Euphoria and Love Island USA.
In future, one might see more Fox stars in those spaces.
On its surface, the deal will not cause an immediate shift in Fox’s programming strategy for either its broadcast network or its free streaming service Tubi, but inside the Rupert Murdoch-owned company, executives are excited that it will be a major boon for its overall business.
The move is, on one level, a rather unsexy one: Fox Corporation is buying an operating system. However, the deal has been hailed by one source as the “biggest TV deal of the year” given that Roku surpassed 100 million streaming households in April, giving Fox a much bigger “front door” into the world of streaming than it previously had.
This will bring plenty of benefits for the TV side of the business, led by Fox Entertainment CEO Rob Wade, including potentially increased promotion for its dramas and comedies such as Doc and Animal Control, animated series such as The Simpsons and Family Guy, and its plethora of unscripted titles such as Rob Lowe’s The Floor and The Masked Singer.
It could also help the company’s nascent international TV distribution division Fox Entertainment Global, which is on an acquisition drive; and its recently launched Creator Studios unit, the Billy Parks-led digital-first division that will see its new formats, IP and talent having more opportunities with Roku in the fold.
One interesting reunion that is likely is the return of Roku Media president Charlie Collier into the Fox fold. Collier was previously head of entertainment at Fox before joining Roku in 2022. He was responsible for launching Gordon Ramsay’s Studio Ramsay Global and acquiring Bob’s Burgers producer Bento Box Entertainment and Marvista Entertainment, which ostensibly became the driver for Fox Entertainment Studios. Ironically, Deadline understands that one of the reasons that Collier left was the fact that he wasn’t given oversight of Tubi, which Fox acquired in 2020.
A Digital-First Deal Instead of acquiring or launching a streaming service, Fox has gone one bigger, making the company, once the deal closes next year, a much more digital one than it is today.
This will give Fox executives access to incredible amounts of data on its own shows and others’ titles that it can use from a programming perspective, as well as an advertising one. Consultancy Madison & Wall estimates that it would mean Fox receives around 14% of all spending on U.S. television with $9 billion of advertising revenue.
There’s a reasonable expectation that Fox will be able to use the major real estate on the front page of Roku to promote its shows like The Floor or Best Medicine or highlight Fox News and Fox One. But insiders also noted that those promotional areas are hugely valuable to third parties. For instance, Apple and Hulu shows including Drops of God and The Testaments are currently in rotation, some of which are paid and some of which are shown thanks to the Roku algorithm. Traditional advertisers also pay to advertise in those spots.
“That home screen is massively powerful,” one source close to Roku told Deadline. “That’s the first thing that you see when you turn on your TVs, which is why the likes of Disney and Peacock will invest in buying inventory on the home screen.”
One of the other major focuses is on how The Roku Channel and Tubi will sit alongside each other. Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch called them “incredibly complementary services” on its investor call after the deal, but he warned that the expectation is that they will be kept separate. “They serve consumers and our viewers in different ways,” he said.
Subscriptions are another important business line for Roku. The company and Fox recently reached a distribution deal for the Fox One flagship streamer, which is currently on a World Cup drive. Roku offers dozens of other outlets via its subscription hub, reducing friction for customers and simplifying payments as do larger tech rivals like Amazon and Google.
Some industry sources believe there will inevitably be a merger of The Roku Channel and Tubi, which is overseen by Anjali Sud, at some stage.
The Roku Channel had a 3% share of streaming viewing in March, per Nielsen’s The Gauge, and Tubi had a 2.2% share, so if they were combined they would be in line with Disney’s 5.3% share.
In terms of monthly TV viewing by distributor, the deal would have given Fox a 10.2% share of viewing in March, ahead of Netflix and NBCUniversal (which also counts Versant) and just below YouTube and Disney.
The Roku Channel does commission original programming with some of its bigger titles including Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, The Great American Baking Show and Jessica Alba’s Honest Renovations, which is heading into its fourth season. Newer titles include The Reunion: Laguna Beach and Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross, which has been renewed for a second season.
However, this strategy, led by Head of Originals Brian Tannenbaum, is a relatively small part of Roku’s overall business and is unlikely to change drastically.
While Fox executives might be popping champagne corks, there is considerable doubt on Wall Street about the combination. Fox shares plunged 15% on the news, which is a larger-than-normal dive for the company making an acquisition. Roku stock, which jumped late Friday on word of a potential deal, dipped 2%.
Doug Creutz, a veteran media analyst with T.D. Cowen, expressed reservations in a note to clients. Tubi has posted strong revenue growth, he noted. “But the broader history of the industry suggests skepticism,” he wrote. Combining distribution with content has failed plenty of times before, notably with the AOL Time Warner debacle or Time Warner’s equally ill-fated marriage with AT&T.
While Creutz concedes those mergers are “ancient history at this point, history has a strong tendency to repeat, or at least rhyme.”
