A Look Into A.O. Smith's Price Over Earnings
April 05, 2021

A.O. Smith Inc. has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 35.87 of the Building Products industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

There are many limitations to P/E ratio. It is sometimes difficult to determine the nature of the earnings makeup of a company. Shareholders might not get what they're looking for, from trailing earnings.

Asian Open: Tech stocks and gold shine (USD and GBP... not so much)
April 9, 2021

Treasury yields lower on Powell comments, tech stocks rally:
Speaking at an International Monetary Fund event overnight, Jerome Powell said that price rises from spending combined with bottlenecks in the supply chain would not cause the kind of yearly increases that would be considered as inflation. Bond traders were quick to snap up treasuries and send yields lower, allowing technology stocks to resume their ascent and send the Nasdaq 100 up 3.2% to a seven-week high, just below its record. The Dow Jones closed above 33,500 for the first time and the S&P 500 enjoyed its second day in history above 4,000.

Visa’s Incentives to Banks Examined by Justice Department
April 8, 2021

The Justice Department is probing incentives Visa offers banks that route more debit-card spending through its network, according to people familiar with the matter. The firm acknowledged an inquiry in a regulatory filing last month without elaborating on the specific issues at hand.

come come crash lah quick!


oso good to know why banks push certain cards:

Incentive Offered
Here’s how those deals typically work:

Say a bank sends $1 billion in debit-card spending over Visa’s rails in a year. For the following year, Visa might offer the bank an incentive -- which can come in the form of a discount on fees -- if the bank sends the same volume again. If the bank sends less, the incentive will be lower. If the bank sends more, the incentive can be significantly higher.

Visa, for its part, also inks such deals with major merchants and payment processors to entice them to send more volume over its network.

Dividend Aristocrats In Focus: Archer Daniels Midland
Updated on April 2nd, 2021

Based on expected 2021 EPS of $3.83, ADM shares trade for a price-to-earnings ratio of 15.1. Archer–Daniels–Midland has been valued at a price to earnings multiple of 15.5 over the last decade. Our fair value P/E is 15, meaning the stock is fairly valued.

A declining valuation multiple could generate -0.1% annual returns for shareholders over the next five years. Future returns will also be derived from earnings growth, and dividends. We expect Archer Daniels Midland to grow its future earnings by ~4% per year through 2026 and the stock has a current dividend yield of 2.6%.

In this case, total expected returns are 6.5% per year over the next five years, a solid risk-adjusted rate of return for Archer Daniels Midland stock.
