The Yen witnessed a lower open this week on reports that the Japanese government had approached Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Masayoshi Amamiya about replacing current Governor, Kuroda . There was a mild reversal in the move after government spokesman said the story was not based on fact.

J. Michael Jones Generac Holdings (NYSE: GNRC ) has been one of the worst-performing stocks over the past year, declining by 73% from its high of $329 to its low of $86. But, the company’s long-term growth thesis looks intact, driven by the massive changes in the energy, utility, and automotive sectors, which cause changes to the grid. The climate-related uncertainty and damage have spotlighted unreliable power supply for homes and businesses. The company’s sky-high valuation has vanished, and any sell-off in the market may present a buying opportunity if the stock dips below $100. The stock looks fully valued based on the valuation metrics such as the GAAP PE ratios. But, a discounted cash flow model estimates a per-share value of $149, a 22% upside potential. A slowdown in revenue growth was inevitable, but long-term prospects are still bright Generac started seeing a slowdown in growth rate in the middle of 2022, during its Q2 2022 quarter . The company saw its residential product sales growth decelerate considerably in Q3 2022. Residential product sales grew by 9% y/y in Q3 2022 compared to a growth rate of 49% in Q2 2022 and 43% in Q1 2022. The company’s […]

Source: Shutterstock CGI Inc. ( TSE:GIB.A ) saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the TSX. As a large-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s examine CGI’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity. What Is CGI Worth? CGI appears to be overvalued by 32% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at CA$122 on the market compared to my intrinsic value of CA$92.55. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! Another thing to keep in mind is that CGI’s share price is quite stable relative to the market, as indicated by its low beta. This means that if you believe the current share price should move towards its intrinsic value over time, a low beta could suggest it is not likely to reach that level anytime soon, and once it’s there, it may be hard to fall back down into an attractive buying […]

Mizuho analysts said the Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU ) share price fall as a result of the negative read-through from Bill.com (NYSE: BILL ) earnings appears to be an overreaction and presents a buying opportunity. Intuit shares are down more than 2% so far on Monday. Analysts who have a Buy rating and $650 price target on Intuit, explained in a research note that "INTU shares were down 6% on Friday along with BILL (down 27%) following a disappointing FQ2 and guidance from BILL." "While we acknowledge that macro headwinds might be impacting SMBs, we view QuickBooks as mission-critical with payment representing only ~7% of revenues. At first glance, BILL’s commentary on slowing payment volume growth and net customer adds due to a weaker macro appears to have negative read-through for INTU," the analysts stated. However, they also said that based on the firm’s analysis of BILL’s weakness and INTU’s exposure, they believe the "recent sell-off in INTU shares is an overreaction from BILL read-through and presents a buying opportunity heading into INTU’s FQ2 results on Feb 23." In a separate note looking at Intuit’s fiscal second quarter, the analysts declared that the firm expects another strong quarter for the […]

Image: Chris McVey, senior fund manager, Octopus Investments For equities, 2022 was clearly a challenging year. Economic and geopolitical concerns buffeted markets, and this uncertainty triggered a significant derating of growth equities. But, in our view, it also triggered one of the best buying opportunities for UK small- and mid-cap stocks in over a decade. The great decoupling Our focus on those quality-growth small- and mid-cap companies was a part of the market significantly impacted during the sell-off. However, we believe there remains a lot of opportunity in the UK, as well as a large number of strongly trading businesses. We retain our focus on companies which we believe can grow earnings throughout the economic cycle, and we have been largely reassured by the underlying operational performance of many of these growth companies, despite many share prices decoupling from these solid fundamentals. When market conditions normalise, many of these stocks should re-rate significantly, offering investors attractive returns over the medium term. The last time we encountered share prices deviating from earnings to this extent was during the financial crisis. That turned out to be the buying opportunity of the decade. We are currently in that same valuation territory, although […]
