Is There Now An Opportunity In Liberty Broadband Corporation (NASDAQ:LBRD.K)?

Source: Shutterstock Today we’re going to take a look at the well-established Liberty Broadband Corporation ( NASDAQ:LBRD.K ). The company’s stock saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the NASDAQGS. With many analysts covering the large-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock’s share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let’s take a look at Liberty Broadband’s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists. What’s The Opportunity In Liberty Broadband? According to my price multiple model, which makes a comparison between the company’s price-to-earnings ratio and the industry average, the stock price seems to be justfied. I’ve used the price-to-earnings ratio in this instance because there’s not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows. The stock’s ratio of 10.76x is currently trading slightly below its industry peers’ ratio of 14.71x, which means if you buy Liberty Broadband today, you’d be paying a decent price for it. And if you believe that Liberty Broadband should be trading at this level in the long run, then there’s not much of an […]

Comment: A tidal wave of opportunity

Comment: A tidal wave of opportunity

Until now, tidal energy generation has been costly and difficult to engineer. The new MaxBLADE project in Scotland is set to change that, writes Conchúr Ó Brádaigh, professor of engineering at the University of Edinburgh Orbital Marine Power The potential of tidal energy is huge. Seventy per cent of the earth’s surface is ocean and sea and, if we could harness that energy, it would provide 150 per cent of the world’s energy needs. A recent report found that tidal stream energy could provide more than 6GW of energy to the UK grid by 2050. This may be small compared to the potential of offshore wind but, in contrast to wave, solar and wind, tidal energy is entirely predictable, so could provide a significant baseline power source for our future electricity grid. It also has the potential to contribute over £40bn Gross Value Added (GVA) to the UK economy, including tens of thousands of new jobs, primarily in neglected coastal communities. The UK government has been doing its part: the Contracts for Difference (CfD) Allocation Round 4 will support the deployment of over 40MW of tidal stream energy from 2025-27. A similar pathway has allowed offshore wind to achieve […]

Nvidia may see a 'significant' opportunity from generative AI, but challenges remain

Nvidia may see a ‘significant’ opportunity from generative AI, but challenges remain

BING-JHEN HONG Generative artificial intelligence, and in particular ChatGPT, has taken the investment world by storm in recent months and companies like Microsoft ( MSFT ) and Google ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) have noticed . While some of the benefits (and pitfalls) of the technology may go to the world’s largest tech companies, advanced semiconductor companies such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA ) may also benefit from the trend, investment firm KeyBanc Capital Markets said. In a research note, analyst John Vinh said Nvidia ( NVDA ) is the "clear outsized beneficiary" among semiconductor companies for generative AI thanks to the technology’s heavy compute needs. Specifically for OpenAI’s ChatGPT – which has some issues, as evidenced by Microsoft’s ( MSFT ) recent defense of its chatbot for its new Bing search engine that is based on ChatGPT technology – Vinh believes the training cluster to help train the transformer language model is running roughly 10,000 A100 graphics processing unit, or GPUs, from the Jensen Hunag-led company "At $10K in [average selling prices], this would represent ~$100M in revenues," Vinh wrote in a note to clients. Vinh added that ChatGPT is likely also using GPUs for AI inferencing as […]

Is commercial property now a great value opportunity? The INVESTING SHOW speaks to TR Property manager Marcus Phayre-Mudge

Is commercial property now a great value opportunity? The INVESTING SHOW speaks to TR Property manager Marcus Phayre-Mudge

Commercial property has had a rocky ride over recent years, but is it now a great value investing opportunity with the power to beat inflation? On this episode of the Investing Show, Simon Lambert is joined by the manager of TR Property Investment Trust, Marcus Phayre-Mudge, who explains why he thinks a careful approach to backing retail, warehouse and office real estate could deliver rewards for years to come. The market for offices was written off by many during the pandemic but has rebounded strongly for landlords who can offer quality. Marcus says that there are two elements that he believes will drive the office market for years to come: demand for high quality space ‘to tempt staff back in’ and demand for more energy efficient buildings, to allow companies to save money and deliver on environmental pledges. He says: ‘We expect a green building supercycle’. The fund manager, whose trust holds shares in listed property companies across Europe, says that what ties the philosophy behind TR Property’s diverse investments together is looking for quality management in those businesses – something that he says is key to success. Marcus explains the issues investors need to consider before buying into […]

'An opportunity to practice hope': Lane County publishes 20-year suicide report

‘An opportunity to practice hope’: Lane County publishes 20-year suicide report

In February, Lane County Public Health published a report on suicides in the area over the past 20 years. The nearly 40-page report has information about trends, mechanisms, demographics and recommendations. Some of the report’s findings paint a grim picture. Between 2000 and 2020, Lane County’s rate of suicide increased by 80%. The suicide rate in the area is 65% greater than the national average. However, the report’s author, Roger Brubaker, hopes the information inspires people to join prevention efforts. It can be challenging to ask people to face an issue so entangled in stigma, mystery and sadness, he said, but confronting the issue is worthwhile. “It’s an opportunity to practice hope,” said Brubaker, suicide prevention coordinator for the county. “Hope cannot just be an attitude. It absolutely must be an action.” 20 years of data The report contains 20 years of data from suicides in the county. It found that between 2000 and 2020, 1,458 people died by suicide in Lane County. The people who died were in all age groups, worked in many different occupations, had various levels of education and dealt with a range of life stressors. Experts can’t point to a single factor that explains […]

A Deep Look at the Realities of the Land of Opportunity

The Promise of America William Sanchez | BookTrib. The Promise of America by William Sanchez Born in Spanish Harlem to Cuban refugee parents, Will Sanchez has represented marginalized communities ever since he graduated from Georgetown Law. Having served the country as a White House appointee and Special Counsel shortly after 9/11, he recently ran for U.S. Senate in Florida as a progressive with bold ideas for America’s future. The Promise of America guides readers through personal family stories as well as broader topics touching on America’s promise for the future and the absolute need to protect and strengthen the democracy. He recently elaborated on his themes in this BookTrib interview. Q: Why did you write The Promise of America ? A: The promise of America is why my parents fled communism 60 years ago and came to the greatest country in the world. It is what drives millions to want to enter our country every year. It is the driving force behind thousands of my clients’ wishes. Rather than write a biography or memoir about my life, I thought it would be more appropriate to write about this issue, and how it has affected our lives. I do deeply […]
