Year-to-date record collections are $995 million above estimate. "Without any question in the world, our continued revenue surpluses prove that we can very safely and conservatively move forward with a 50% tax cut in the state of West Virginia, especially if we do it wisely, and we do it over three years and phase it in,” Gov. Justice said. “So this is our opportunity to do something for hard-working West Virginians and put money back in their pockets.” The following is a brief summary of the major components: January General Revenue Fund Severance Tax collections totaled $90.3 million versus $81.9 million in January of last year.

Is There Now An Opportunity In Varta AG (ETR:VAR1)?

Is There Now An Opportunity In Varta AG (ETR:VAR1)?

Source: Shutterstock Varta AG ( ETR:VAR1 ), is not the largest company out there, but it saw a significant share price rise of over 20% in the past couple of months on the XTRA. As a stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Today I will analyse the most recent data on Varta’s outlook and valuation to see if the opportunity still exists. Is Varta Still Cheap? According to my price multiple model, where I compare the company’s price-to-earnings ratio to the industry average, the stock currently looks expensive. 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 37.86x is currently well-above the industry average of 30.33x, meaning that it is trading at a more expensive price relative to its peers. But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Given that Varta’s share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving […]

For the US to again become the “Land of Opportunity” we need a better understanding of how geography and industrial change affects incomes.

For the US to again become the “Land of Opportunity” we need a better understanding of how geography and industrial change affects incomes.

Recent decades have seen declining intergenerational mobility in the US, though its pattern varies widely. In new research, Kohei Takeda unpacks the relationship between declining manufacturing in parts of the US – which are often termed the ‘Rust Belt’ – and workers’ income mobility. This mobility is affected by both falling labor mobility and the historic employment choices of people in former manufacturing centres. More education to break the persistence in these choices, he writes, may be the key to workers regaining intergenerational mobility. The declining ability for Americans to increase their incomes across generations has attracted enormous interest in the US. Children from families in San Francisco have 8 percentile higher prospective income rank compared to those from Detroit in terms of their prospective income rank. ​Why, in the same country, are the citizens of San Jose or Tucson on entirely different trajectories than those in Detroit and Cleveland? The key to answering this question is the interplay between structural transformation in the aggregate and local economies in the US. The last half-century has seen sustained deindustrialization and a general shift toward the service sector in the US. At the same time, there has been a significant variation […]

Is There An Opportunity With Camping World Holdings, Inc.’s (NYSE:CWH) 22% Undervaluation?

Source: Shutterstock In this article we are going to estimate the intrinsic value of Camping World Holdings, Inc. ( NYSE:CWH ) by estimating the company’s future cash flows and discounting them to their present value. We will use the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model on this occasion. Before you think you won’t be able to understand it, just read on! It’s actually much less complex than you’d imagine. Companies can be valued in a lot of ways, so we would point out that a DCF is not perfect for every situation. Anyone interested in learning a bit more about intrinsic value should have a read of the Simply Wall St analysis model . Is Camping World Holdings Fairly Valued? We’re using the 2-stage growth model, which simply means we take in account two stages of company’s growth. In the initial period the company may have a higher growth rate and the second stage is usually assumed to have a stable growth rate. In the first stage we need to estimate the cash flows to the business over the next ten years. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren’t available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow […]
