China lodges representations with U.S. over shooting down of airship Editor’s note: CGTN’s First Voice provides instant commentary on breaking stories. The column clarifies emerging issues and better defines the news agenda, offering a Chinese perspective on the latest global events. The development of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) got off to a solid start with the full resumption of cross-border travel with the Chinese mainland on Monday. The city has had a tough time in the past three years – shortly after the 2019 violence, it was caught in a three-year pandemic. The long-awaited full border reopening is an opportunity for Hong Kong to revive its economy and further engage with the plan of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). As the Chinese mainland drops its restrictions on travel, Hong Kong will likely see a 7.6 percent boost to its gross domestic product, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. The city, as an international financial hub, has been one of the favorite travel destinations among mainlanders. Of the 154 million outbound mainland travelers before the pandemic, 36 percent – as World Bank and Hong Kong Tourism Board statistics show – came to Hong Kong. The influx of […]

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 […]
