CompaniesBEIJING, July 9 (Reuters) - China's Xiaomi (1810.HK), opens new tab on Thursday unveiled an SUV series named Sky Nomad, accelerating the technology company's push into automobiles as growth slows in ​its mainstay smartphone market.

The extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) series, branded Xiaomi Pengcheng ‌in Chinese, will comprise "smart, versatile, spacious" SUVs, CEO Lei Jun said on his Weibo micro-blog account along with a teaser poster of one of the vehicles.

EREVs are a type ​of plug-in hybrid that sit between conventional petrol-electric hybrids and battery-only ​vehicles, using a combustion engine as a generator to extend battery ⁠driving range.

Xiaomi's announcement represents expansion beyond battery-powered sedans and crossovers into a ​category popularised by models from automakers such as Li Auto (2015.HK), opens new tab.

With its SU7 sedan ​and YU7 crossover, Xiaomi's EV business has become a revenue pillar over the past two years.

The consumer electronics firm expanded into cars in search of new revenue drivers as ​growth slowed worldwide in the mature smartphone and home appliance markets.

However, the ​auto business remains costly for the tech firm due to the heavy investment needed and narrower ‌profit ⁠margins.

Xiaomi pitches its cars as a high-tech Chinese alternative to models from Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab, pitting its SU7 and YU7 lines against the U.S. EV maker's Model 3 and Model Y.

As of the end of June, Xiaomi had delivered 258,232 ​YU7 crossovers in China ​since the model's ⁠June 2025 launch, compared with 471,207 Model Y vehicles sold in the country over the same period, showed data ​from auto information and trading platform DCar.

Xiaomi has locked-in ​orders for ⁠existing models but faces a slowing domestic market and has yet to export its vehicles, unlike many domestic peers. The company plans to launch vehicles in Europe ⁠next ​year.

"They (car owners) want their car to be a ​second home. For them, a car is not merely a means of transport but another moving ​space," Lei said.

Launches extend PGIM’s fixed income ETF platform into areas of growing investor demand

NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PGIM, the $1.4 trillion global asset management business of Prudential Financial, Inc.1 (NYSE: PRU), has launched a market- differentiated AAA-rated collateralized loan obligation (CLO) exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed to provide core-like duration exposure.2 The fund, named the PGIM AAA CLO Aggregate Duration ETF (AAAD), launched alongside the PGIM Securitized Income ETF (PINC), which also employs a duration overlay.

“With this launch, we’re excited to introduce a strategy that leverages our CLO expertise to provide enhanced yield potential compared to traditional high-quality duration sectors.”

Share “With this launch, we’re excited to introduce a strategy that leverages our CLO expertise to provide enhanced yield potential compared to traditional high-quality duration sectors,” said Edwin Wilches, co-head of Securitized Products at PGIM.

The PGIM AAA CLO Aggregate Duration ETF (AAAD) invests primarily in U.S. dollar-denominated AAA-rated CLOs either directly or through its investment in the PGIM AAA CLO ETF (PAAA). PAAA is the only Morningstar Medalist Gold-rated product in its Morningstar category and has been among the fastest-growing strategies in the market, accumulating over $10 billion in assets since its inception.3 AAAD expects to use longer-duration fixed income instruments and derivative instruments, such as futures, forwards, options, swaps, and U.S. Treasury futures, in seeking to maintain its target portfolio duration or to extend the overall duration of its portfolio beyond that of its CLO exposure. It is listed on NYSE Arca, Inc. and offered at a 0.19% net expense ratio.

The PGIM Securitized Income ETF (PINC) invests primarily in securitized credit investments and other similar credit instruments, including derivative instruments that provide diversified exposure across the securitized credit landscape. It is listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and is offered at a 0.39% net expense ratio.

Both AAAD and PINC seek to maximize total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation, leveraging the deep expertise of PGIM’s $1.2 trillion credit platform.1

“We’re expanding our active ETF platform with innovative, competitively priced strategies that give investors more precise access to income-generating securitized credit opportunities,” said Stuart Parker, head of Global Wealth at PGIM.

PGIM’s ETF platform offers over 60 actively managed ETFs across equity and fixed income asset classes. PGIM is the 11th-largest active ETF provider4 with $27 billion in assets under management.1

PGIM AAA CLO Aggregate Duration ETF Risk Disclosure

As an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF), risks of investing in the Fund include, but are not limited to the following: The Fund is subject to authorized participant concentration risk and the risks of transacting in cash versus in-kind. ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and may lack an active trading market. Additional costs may be incurred when transacting through a broker. Collateralized loan obligations are subject to credit, interest rate, valuation and prepayment and extension risks, as well as risk of default on the underlying asset. Collateralized loan obligation (CLO) managers may have limited operating histories and may be subject to conflicts of interest that may incentivize maximizing the yield, and indirectly the risk, of a CLO. Fixed income investments are subject to credit, market, prepayment and interest rate risks, and their value will decline as interest rates rise. Leveraging techniques may magnify losses. As a “fund of funds,” the Fund is subject to the performance and risks of the underlying funds and their investments. Foreign securities are subject to currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. Derivatives may carry market, credit and liquidity risks. The Fund has a limited operating history, and investment positions may have a disproportionate impact on performance. There is no guarantee the Fund’s objective will be achieved. Risks are more fully explained in the Fund’s prospectus.

Collateralized loan obligation (CLO) managers may have limited operating histories and may be subject to conflicts of interest that may incentivize maximizing the yield, and indirectly the risk, of a CLO. Fixed income investments are subject to credit, market, prepayment and interest rate risks, and their value will decline as interest rates rise. Floating rate and other loans are subject to the risk that failure to receive scheduled interest or principal payments on a loan would adversely affect the income of the Fund and would likely reduce the value of its assets. High yield (“junk”) bonds are subject to greater credit and market risks. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities tend to increase in value less than other debt securities when interest rates decline, but are subject to a similar risk of decline in market value during periods of rising interest rates. Holders of structured product securities bear the risks of the underlying investments, index or reference obligation. Investments in currency may result in a decline in the Fund’s net asset value due to changes in exchange rates. Foreign securities are subject to currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. Derivatives may carry market, credit and liquidity risks. Leveraging techniques may magnify losses. The Fund has a limited operating history, and investment positions may have a disproportionate impact on performance. There is no guarantee the Fund’s objective will be achieved.

The Morningstar Medalist Rating is the summary expression of Morningstar’s forward‑looking analysis of investment strategies as offered via specific vehicles using a rating scale of Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral, and Negative. These ratings indicate which investments Morningstar believes are likely to outperform their Morningstar Category average on a risk‑adjusted basis over time. Investment products are evaluated on three fundamental pillars (People, Parent, and Process) and the Medalist Rating Price Score, which forms the basis for Morningstar’s conviction in products’ investment merits and determines the Medalist Rating assigned. Ratings take the form of Low (‑2), Below Average (‑1), Average (0), Above Average (+1), and High (+2). Pillars may be evaluated via an analyst’s qualitative assessment (either directly to a vehicle the analyst covers or indirectly when the pillar ratings of a covered vehicle are mapped to a related uncovered vehicle) or using algorithmic techniques. The cost of an investment product is evaluated using the Medalist Rating Price Score, which is a continuous score from -2.5 to +2.5 based on the percentile rank of a vehicle’s expense ratio within its Morningstar Category. Morningstar combines the pillar scores and Medalist Rating Price Score using predetermined weights for actively and passively managed vehicles to calculate a weighted score. The weighted score is then compared to fixed thresholds employed consistently across Morningstar Categories and regions, with separate thresholds for actively and passively managed investments. Rating thresholds are reviewed at least annually. Buffers and ratings caps help prevent frequent ratings changes. When analysts directly cover a vehicle, they assign the fundamental pillar ratings based on their qualitative assessment, subject to Analyst Rating Committee oversight, and monitor and reevaluate them approximately once a year. When vehicles are covered either indirectly by analysts or by algorithm, the ratings are assigned monthly. For more detailed information about the Medalist Ratings, including their methodology, please visit: http://global.morningstar.com/managerdisclosures. The Morningstar Medalist Ratings are not statements of fact, nor are they credit or risk ratings. The Morningstar Medalist Rating (i) should not be used as the sole basis in evaluating an investment product, (ii) involves unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause expectations not to occur or to differ significantly from what was expected, (iii) is not guaranteed to be based on complete or accurate assumptions or models when determined algorithmically, (iv) involves the risk that return targets will not be met due to unforeseen changes in management, technology, economic development, interest rate development, operating and/or material costs, competitive pressure, supervisory law, exchange rates, tax rates, or political and social conditions, and (v) should not be considered an offer or solicitation to buy or sell the investment product. A change in the fundamental factors underlying the Morningstar Medalist Rating may result in the rating no longer being accurate. Analysts do not have any other material conflicts of interest at the time of publication. Users wishing to obtain further information should contact their local Morningstar office.

Todd Sohn je hlavní technický analytik ve společnosti Strategas, který v rozhovoru se Stevem Eismanem hovořil o svém pohledu na současné a budoucí dění na trzích. Grafy podle něj rychle a přehledně vypráví o tom, co se děje. Nyní je podle něj zřejmé, že trhem hýbou hlavně polovodiče. K softwaru čekal, že to nejhorší může být už za tímto sektorem. Sektor ale stále působí chaoticky a stále nemusí být v bodě, kdy představuje dobrou nákupní příležitost.

Eisman následně odpovídal na dotaz týkající se akcie GE Vernova, kterou on sám podle svých slov vlastní již dlouhou dobu a je jeho oblíbená. Sohn k ní řekl, že kdyby viděl graf s vývojem ceny bez toho, aby věděl, o jakou společnost jde, viděl by v něm možnou blížící se příležitost k nákupu. Před časem byla totiž akcie překoupená, od té doby došlo ke konsolidaci a vybírání zisků. „V tuhle chvíli graf vypadá dobře.“ Svou roli ale hrají i jiné faktory, třeba výrazný list popularity bot společnosti Hoka, která se opírá i o to, že je doporučují pediatři.

Nike čelí problémům už delší dobu a „jde o velkou loď, u které se kurz nemění tak rychle. Konkurence je navíc intenzivní a nespí včetně zmíněné Hoky či New Balance. „Nike se vzdala určitého prostoru na regálech a nová konkurence jej okamžitě zabrala.“

K Amazonu Eisman řekl, že tuto akcii vlastní, ale graf její ceny podle něj nevypadá moc dobře. Sohn dodal, že jsou jak mnohem horší, tak i mnohem lepší, tenhle je někde uprostřed. Meta je „mnohem chaotičtější“, Sohn byl podle svých slov k této akcii za posledních deset let často skeptický, ale vždy se vzchopila. Nyní by proti ní hovořilo mimo jiné to, že zatímco celý trh dosahuje na nová maxima, Metě se to už nějakou dobu nepodařilo. K tomu plovoucí dvousetdenní průměr neroste (tak jako třeba u zmíněné GEV). A nyní dokonce obrací dolů.

Oracle vidí expert podobně jako software. Může se odrážet od dna, ale „na trhu je hodně lepších příležitostí“. Microsoft je „v podobné pozici jako meta, ne-li slabší.“ Jiným příběhem je Google. Ten byl hodně překoupený, nyní dochází k vybírání zisků a je šance, že „bude kupovatelný“.

Sohn následně hovořil o boomu zapáčených ETF, které poskytují znásobené zisky na akciích, ale to samé platí o ztrátách. Populární jsou také tématické ETF, které se zaměřují na konkrétní oblasti a příběhy včetně „vesmíru“. U finančních titulů nyní podle experta panuje hodně skepse, která z velké části pramení z negativních zpráv týkajících se úvěrů poskytovaných mimo trhy. Sohn ale tuto skepsi k financím vidí jako možný býčí signál dalšího vývoje. Chuť na sektory zdravotní péče „po krátkém trvání zase vyprchala“ a jde po delší dobu o „ten nejvíce frustrující sektor“. Jeho podíl na celkové kapitalizaci trhu postupně znatelně klesl a „situace je tak špatná, že lze uvažovat o tom, že už je dobrá.“ Tedy že také dojde k obratu a „normalizaci“.

Sohn rovněž tvrdí, že „kvalita jen zabírá místo v investičních portfoliích“. Nyní jsou totiž ve skupině kvalitních akcií a firem zejména ty technologické, což znamená, že kvalita vůbec nepůsobí jako něco, co by mělo diverzifikovat rizika. ETF zaměřující se na tuto oblast naopak vykazují vysokou korelaci s pohybem celého trhu. „Proč bych to potřeboval, když to dělá to samé jako celý trh? To si můžu rovnou koupit index.“

On July 6, Cathie Wood was busy with her Ark empire, selling several positions and buying others. One particularly notable trade reported on the day was Advanced Micro Devices (AMD +0.37%).

Through Ark Innovation, Wood sold over 15,000 shares of AMD, which were valued at more than $8 million.

That may seem like a cause for concern or an early warning that trouble could be brewing for AMD, as Ark may be seeing something retail investors might be missing. However, the selling is likely more about portfolio management than about anything wrong with AMD.

Image source: Getty Images.

The AMD buy-the-dip opportunity in February On Feb. 3, Advanced Micro Devices reported its 2025 fourth-quarter results and 2025 full-year results. The updates weren't well-received. From Feb. 3 to Feb. 4, the stock price sank 17.3%. While some were panicking, Wood saw it as a buying opportunity.

On Feb. 4, five of Ark's exchange-traded funds (ETFs) purchased a total of more than 141,000 AMD shares, which were valued at a little more than $28 million at the time. In a few short months, that proved to be a profitable move.

A monster first quarter for Advanced Micro Devices AMD began to find its footing in April, and the stock price really took off after May 5, when the company reported its 2026 first-quarter earnings. Revenue of $10.2 billion and earnings per share of $1.3 billion easily beat expectations of $9.8 billion and $1.2 billion. For the second quarter, its revenue forecast of $11.2 billion also beat expectations of $10.5 billion.

The stock price opened at $351.51 on May 5, the day of the earnings report. When it opened on May 6, it had climbed to $409.49. A few months later, on July 7, the AMD stock price closed at $516.11 per share.

Portfolio management at work On the same day (July 6) that the Ark Innovation ETF sold more than $8 million in AMD shares, three of Ark's ETFs bought $5.6 million in Kratos Defense and Security Solutions shares.

With the AMD stock price up about 140% on the year, Wood may see it as a little overheated. But rather than there being a major cause for alarm with the company's operations, Ark is likely just practicing portfolio management.

With Advanced Micro Devices' stock having run up so strongly since February, it's more likely that some profit-taking is underway to fund other positions.

Shares of Broadcom (AVGO +5.00%) climbed on Wednesday after the chipmaker struck a lucrative supply deal with Apple (AAPL +1.00%).

Image source: The Motley Fool.

Joining forces to bolster U.S. chip production The two companies will work together to develop "custom silicon components and cutting-edge wireless connectivity technologies for a wide range of Apple products," Apple announced on Wednesday.

The multiyear deal is valued at over $30 billion and is expected to produce more than 15 billion U.S.-made chips.

Apple has promised to invest $600 billion in the U.S. by the end of the decade as it strives to build an "end-to-end silicon supply chain in America." As part of the collaboration, Broadcom will expand its manufacturing plants in Fort Collins, Colorado.

"Apple and Broadcom have a long history together, and this new phase of our partnership further accelerates our commitment to American manufacturing and innovation," Apple CEO Tim Cook said.

This deal is a win-win-win The chip production agreement with Broadcom will help Apple diversify its supply chain and reduce its reliance on potential geopolitical hotspots like Taiwan. That's good for both companies, their customers, and their shareholders.

The investments in U.S.-based production could also help Apple and Broadcom gain favor with the Trump administration, which has prioritized domestic manufacturing.

It maintains listings for nearly 4.4 million properties and serves customers across more than 220 countries. The business relies on a massive network of travel providers and third-party platforms, such as search engines, to drive customer traffic.

In its 2025 fiscal year (FY), revenue reached $26.9 billion, representing growth of 13.4% compared to the previous year. This growth helped the company generate net income of $5.4 billion. Among travel and tourism stocks, the company maintains a robust net margin of 20.1%.

As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the company carries a debt-to-equity ratio of -3.5x, which indicates that total liabilities exceed shareholder equity. The current ratio, which measures a firm's ability to cover short-term debts with current assets, is 1.3x. Free cash flow for the year reached $9.1 billion, representing the cash remaining after capital expenditures.

Marriott International is a hospitality leader managing over 30 brands and nearly 9,900 properties worldwide. The company centers its growth on the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, which claimed roughly 271 million members at the end of 2025. It also maintains strategic partnerships with major financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase and American Express.

During FY 2025, the company reported revenue of $26.2 billion, which was a 4.3% increase over the prior year. Net income for the period was $2.6 billion. This resulted in a net margin of 9.9%, which is a slight improvement over the 9.5% recorded in the previous fiscal year.

According to its December 2025 balance sheet, the company carries a debt-to-equity ratio of -4.5x, indicating that total liabilities exceed shareholder equity. Its current ratio is 0.4x, suggesting a tighter liquidity position for meeting short-term debts. Free cash flow for FY 2025 was $2.6 billion, providing capital for reinvestment or shareholder returns.

Risk profile comparisonBooking faces intense competition from global technology firms and AI-native platforms that could disrupt the traditional online agency model. It is heavily dependent on search engines for customer acquisition, where any algorithm changes could lower visibility. Furthermore, the company must navigate strict European regulatory requirements as a designated gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act.

Marriott deals with escalating legal risks, including class action litigation regarding undisclosed fees and labor-related claims. The business is also operationally dependent on third-party franchisees, meaning performance disputes or bankruptcies can disrupt its revenue streams. Like its peers, it faces pressure from digital competitors like Airbnb that threaten to erode direct booking loyalty.

Valuation comparisonBooking appears significantly more attractive based on future earnings estimates, while Marriott carries a lower valuation relative to its annual sales.

Which stock would I buy in 2026?Booking and Marriott represent two distinct segments of the travel industry. The former is a high-margin online travel agency (OTA) while the latter is a fee-driven hotel franchisor. Which to choose depends on a few considerations.

Booking offers superior sales growth and healthy margins. In the first quarter, revenue rose 16% year over year to $5.5 billion, and net income soared to $1.1 billion compared to the prior year’s $333 million. However, the company stated the U.S. conflict with Iran will hurt sales this year, and Wall Street is concerned artificial intelligence may supplant the need for OTAs.

Marriott benefits from a well-known brand, expansive vacation properties, and steadily rising revenue thanks to its fee-based income stream. Due to credit card, franchise and management fees, the company posted sales of $6.7 billion, up from the previous year’s $6.3 billion. It doesn’t deliver the explosive revenue growth of Booking, but it is a steady business that is ideal for conservative investors.

Between the two, my pick to buy would be Booking. Shares are beaten down right now, while Marriott recently hit a 52-week high of $410.98, and the stock price remains elevated. Both are solid travel stocks, but Booking’s strong sales growth suggests its shares have the potential for more upside once Middle East hostilities are over.

San Diego, California--(Newsfile Corp. - July 8, 2026) - The law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) securities between June 25, 2025 and March 10, 2026, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), have until Monday, July 27, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the AeroVironment class action lawsuit. Captioned Norrell v. AeroVironment, Inc., No. 26-cv-01429 (E.D. Va.), the AeroVironment class action lawsuit charges AeroVironment and certain of AeroVironment's current and former executive officers with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the AeroVironment class action lawsuit, please provide your information here:

https://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases-aerovironment-class-action-lawsuit-avav.html

You can also contact attorneys Ken Dolitsky or Michael Albert of Robbins Geller by calling 800/851-7783 or via e-mail at [email protected].

CASE ALLEGATIONS: AeroVironment designs, develops, produces, delivers, and supports a portfolio of robotic systems and related services for government agencies and businesses. The AeroVironment class action lawsuit alleges on May 1, 2025, AeroVironment announced it had completed the acquisition of BlueHalo, LLC, which had previously been awarded a contract to support the U.S. Space Force's Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource ("SCAR") program. The SCAR program represents the U.S. Space Force's efforts to modernize antennas used by the Satellite Control Network ("SCN"), which is comprised of 19 fixed antennas across the world and executes tasks such as tracking satellites, transmitting signals, and conducting telemetry, or accessing data from satellites to assess their status and health, according to the complaint.

The AeroVironment class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) AeroVironment understated the likelihood that it would imminently face competition from other vendors for the work it performed in connection with the SCAR program and the U.S. Space Force's ongoing efforts to modernize the SCN; and (ii) accordingly, defendants overstated AeroVironment's business and financial prospects.

The AeroVironment class action lawsuit further alleges that on January 20, 2026, AeroVironment announced that the U.S. government had issued a stop work order on AeroVironment's agreement to deliver BADGER systems to the SCAR program. In the same announcement, AeroVironment allegedly stated that the stop work order "allows for the parties to negotiate an amended agreement for the future of the SCAR program" and that "[t]he Company expects to continue to deliver capabilities and products for the SCAR program." On this news, the price of AeroVironment stock fell nearly 16%, according to the complaint.

Then, on March 2, 2026, SpaceNews allegedly reported that the U.S. Space Force was reopening the SCAR program and "reassessing how to move forward." Space News quoted Colonel Owen Stevens, director of contracting at the Space Rapid Capabilities Office, which supervised SCAR, as stating: "We have been in conversations with the SAE [senior acquisition executive] for a little while now, and we are going to move into a new acquisition strategy for SCAR," the complaint alleges. On this news, the price of AeroVironment stock fell more than 17%, according to the complaint.

Finally, on March 10, 2026, the complaint alleges that AeroVironment announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. Among other items, AeroVironment allegedly reported a third-quarter operating loss of $179.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million for the same period in fiscal year 2025. These financial results reflected the impact of a $151.3 million goodwill impairment in AeroVironment's space division after the stop work order on AeroVironment's BADGER systems built for the SCAR program, according to the AeroVironment class action lawsuit. AeroVironment also allegedly reported that the U.S. Space Force had terminated AeroVironment's contract concerning the SCAR program, and as a result, it would have to "recompete" for the SCAR program. On this news, the price of AeroVironment stock fell more than 6%, the complaint alleges.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired AeroVironment securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the AeroVironment class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the AeroVironment class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the AeroVironment class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the AeroVironment class action lawsuit.

A Look at Eastman Chemical Co (EMN) After 3.9% Decline -- GF Value $78.71 vs Price $66.90

On July 08, 2026, Eastman Chemical Co EMN shares fell 3.9% to a current price of $66.90. This decline comes amid a broader trend, with the stock experiencing a 52-week range of $56.11 to $83.47.

GF Value™ verdict: The current price is $66.90, which is 15.0% undervalued compared to the GF Value™ of $78.71.GF Score™: 74/100, indicating an above-average potential for long-term returns.Most notable signal: Insiders sold $0.1M in the last 3 months, with no buying activity. Is EMN Overvalued or Undervalued? Eastman Chemical Co EMN is currently priced at $66.90, which is 15.0% below its GF Value™ of $78.71. This undervaluation suggests a margin of safety for potential investors, as the market price does not fully reflect the company's intrinsic value. The GF Valuation label indicates that EMN is modestly undervalued, presenting an opportunity for value-focused investors who are willing to consider the company's fundamentals.

However, while the undervaluation might be appealing, it is essential to approach with caution. The current economic environment, market volatility, and the company's financial strength must be taken into account. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates, making it a critical tool for assessing potential investments.

How Does EMN's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 19.4x 13.8x Forward P/E 10.6x N/A The current P/E ratio of 19.4x is significantly above its 5-year median P/E of 13.8x, indicating that the stock is trading at a higher valuation compared to its historical averages. This analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, suggesting that despite the company's current undervaluation, its historical P/E ratios imply a higher valuation than what has been typical for EMN. Thus, while the GF Value™ suggests an opportunity, the elevated P/E indicates a cautionary stance regarding potential overvaluation in the context of historical performance.

What Does EMN's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 74 Financial Strength 5/10 Profitability 7/10 Growth 3/10 Valuation 10/10 Momentum 7/10 The GF Score™ of 74/100 reflects a solid overall rating for Eastman Chemical Co, suggesting potential for long-term returns. The strongest area is the Valuation rank, rated at 10/10, indicating that the stock is considered attractive relative to its intrinsic value. However, the Growth rank of 3/10 highlights a weakness in the company's growth prospects, which could be a concern for long-term investors looking for substantial capital appreciation.

What Are Insiders Doing with EMN Stock? In the last three months, insiders at Eastman Chemical Co have sold $0.1 million worth of shares, with no recorded buying activity. This pattern of selling could suggest a lack of confidence among insiders regarding the company's short-term outlook. Insiders typically have a better understanding of the company's operations and future prospects, so their selling activity may warrant caution for potential investors.

What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, Eastman Chemical Co EMN is currently undervalued. However, the elevated P/E ratio and insider selling activity suggest some caution is warranted. While there may be opportunities for value-oriented investors, the overall picture indicates a need for careful consideration of the associated risks.

Canada's getting its first Meta data center, and it's built for AI By You're currently following this author! Want to unfollow? Unsubscribe via the link in your email.

Meta's data center facility in Alberta, Canada, is expected to bring 300 operational jobs, the company said. Meta Meta is bringing a data center to Canada.

The company announced on Wednesday that it broke ground for a new AI computing center in Sturgeon County, Alberta, just outside Edmonton. The facility represents an investment of more than CAD $13 billion, or roughly $9 billion, and is planned as a 1-gigawatt data center, the company said in a press release.

It will be Meta's first data center in the country.

"This data center will be optimized for our AI workloads, helping bring to life the technologies that billions around the world use to connect, find communities, grow businesses, and experience the power of our wearables," Meta said.

The facility will be Meta's 33rd data center globally. Meta said it expects the project to support more than 3,000 construction workers at peak and more than 300 "operational jobs" once it's completed. The company said it will also spend about CAD $60 million, or about $42 million, on local infrastructure improvements.

Meta did not disclose the acreage or square footage of the Sturgeon County campus. The company said the facility will use a "closed-loop, liquid-cooled system with dry cooling," meaning it is designed to avoid the need for a continuous water supply for cooling.

A Meta spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In a statement, Alanna Hnatiw, the mayor of Sturgeon County, welcomed the new facility as a positive development for the region, bringing jobs and "long-term tax revenue."

"We're excited to work with our new neighbours as we continue to make that vision a reality," the mayor said.

In the US, Meta said it has 28 data centers, including the massive Richland Parish site in Louisiana.

The Louisiana data center campus is expected to be Meta's largest facility to date, with a footprint of 4 million square feet, providing more than 2 gigawatts of compute capacity.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 8, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) between May 1, 2025 and January 28, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 11, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Microsoft common stock 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 Microsoft class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/microsoft-corporation/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 August 11, 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 handle 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 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 billions 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) Microsoft's Copilot family of products had experienced significant brand positioning, user experience, usage, data siloing, computational capacity, organizational, and interoperability problems; (2) Microsoft's flagship proprietary AI model ranked well below competitors on a number of benchmark tests; (3) Microsoft needed to increase by billions of dollars its capital expenditures and divert graphics processing unit ("GPU") and central processing unit ("CPU") capacity away from fulfilling demand for its profitable Azure services in order to improve the competitive positioning of its critical Copilot family of products and increase its AI-related research and development ("R&D"); and (4) as a result, Microsoft had failed to convert a significant percentage of its commercial Microsoft 365 users to paid Copilot subscriptions and Microsoft's Copilot offerings had lost market share to rival products, a trend that was increasing. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Microsoft class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/microsoft-corporation/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.
