NEWS_0 | Investors can approximate the average market return by buying an index fund. Active investors aim to buy stocks that vastly outperform the market - but in the process, they risk under-performance. Investors in The First Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:FBMS) have tasted that bitter downside in the last year, as the share price dropped 20%. That falls noticeably short of the market decline of around 10%. Longer term shareholders haven't suffered as badly, since the stock is down a comparatively less painful 10% in three years.
Now let's have a look at the company's fundamentals, and see if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business.
View our latest analysis for First Bancshares
While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.
Unfortunately First Bancshares reported an EPS drop of 2.9% for the last year. This reduction in EPS is not as bad as the 20% share price fall. This suggests the EPS fall has made some shareholders are more nervous about the business. The less favorable sentiment is reflected in its current P/E ratio of 11.76.
The company's earnings per share (over time) is depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers).
We're pleased to report that the CEO is remunerated more modestly than most CEOs at similarly capitalized companies. But while CEO remuneration is always worth checking, the really important question is whether the company can grow earnings going forward. This free interactive report on First Bancshares' earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further.
A Different Perspective
While the broader market lost about 10% in the twelve months, First Bancshares shareholders did even worse, losing 18% (even including dividends). However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 0.2% per year over five years. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. To that end, you should be aware of the 1 warning sign we've spotted with First Bancshares .

(NYSE: FCN) today announced the appointments of Majdi Al-Madani as a Senior Managing Director in the firm’s Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment and Raed Masri as a Managing Director in the Corporate Finance & Restructuring segment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Mr. Al-Madani has more than 20 years of experience advising on forensic reviews and fraud investigations in a range of sectors, including banking, financial services, real estate, life sciences, maritime, agriculture and construction. He assists corporates and banks on fraud-related matters, antibribery and corruption policy and procedures, and regulatory and compliance matters. Prior to joining FTI Consulting, Mr. Al-Madani was a partner at a global management consulting firm. He previously held leadership roles at two Big Four firms in Saudi Arabia and worked in compliance, audit and management roles at major banks in the region.
Mr. Al Madani will be joined by Sara Gassam, an investigations expert who has been appointed as a Director. Ms. Gassam has nine years of experience in investigations and forensic reviews from previous roles with a Big Four firm and an international construction disputes consultancy. She has worked with banks, government entities, multinational companies and family-owned businesses in a variety of sectors, including aviation, construction, pharmaceuticals and entertainment.
“Majdi brings valuable experience in the complex issues that our clients face in Saudi Arabia, and we are delighted to have him on board to support our growth ambitions in the region,” said Rory O’Brien, EMEA Head of the Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment at FTI Consulting. “We continue to expand our offering in international markets that are critical to our clients. The arrival of skilled experts such as Majdi and Sara is consistent with that strategy.”

Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Al-Madani said, “FTI Consulting has a long-established presence in the Middle East, and I am excited to contribute to the firm’s ongoing success as it pursues a new phase of growth in Saudi Arabia. Businesses face increasing regulatory and compliance pressure in their efforts to combat fraud and corruption, and I will work alongside my new colleagues to help clients address these complex challenges.”
Mr. Masri is a seasoned transactions advisory expert who brings more than 14 years of experience in buy-side and sell-side financial due diligence, valuations, financial feasibility reviews, business planning and IPO-related work. Mr. Masri’s experience spans various countries across the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Egypt. Prior to joining FTI Consulting, he was a Director at a Big Four firm.
“Raed’s arrival is another important milestone in the development of our presence in Saudi Arabia,” said Vikas Papriwal, Head of the Corporate Finance & Restructuring segment in the Middle East at FTI Consulting. “He brings a deep understanding of the key sectors in which our clients operate, including construction, healthcare, financial services, retail, energy and logistics, and strengthens the transaction services that we provide clients across the region.”
FTI Consulting’s offerings in Saudi Arabia are supported by the firm’s wider Middle East capabilities, which include teams of experts in construction solutions, data privacy, forensic and digital investigations, strategy consulting and strategic communications.
These hires follow a series of senior-level appointments at FTI Consulting in the Middle East. During 2022, the firm strengthened its Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment with the addition of financial crime experts Abi-gail Marshman, who joined the Abu Dhabi office as Middle East and North Africa Head of the Financial Crime practice; Dan McWilliams and Zarik Nawaz, who joined as Managing Directors in Dubai; and emerging technologies expert Jorge Carrasco, who was appointed as a Managing Director in Dubai. In addition, the arrival of Nilesh Ashar as a Senior Managing Director and Sameep Uchil as a Managing Director earlier this month spearheaded the formation of the firm’s dedicated Tax practice in the United Arab Emirates.

NEWS_7 | Independent Bank Group (IBTX) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.20 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.28 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.28 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -6.25%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this bank holding company would post earnings of $1.35 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.33, delivering a surprise of -1.48%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Independent Bank Group , which belongs to the Zacks Banks - Southeast industry, posted revenues of $153.01 million for the quarter ended December 2022, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.20%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $147.74 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Independent Bank Group shares have added about 1.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 3.5%.
What's Next for Independent Bank Group?
While Independent Bank Group has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Story continues
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Independent Bank Group: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.19 on $159.28 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $5.17 on $662.7 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Banks - Southeast is currently in the bottom 28% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

NEWS_13 | F.N.B. (FNB) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.44 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.41 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.30 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 7.32%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this financial holding company would post earnings of $0.36 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.39, delivering a surprise of 8.33%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
F.N.B. , which belongs to the Zacks Banks - Southeast industry, posted revenues of $415.5 million for the quarter ended December 2022, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.86%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $302.26 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
F.N.B. Shares have lost about 0.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 3.5%.
What's Next for F.N.B.
While F.N.B. Has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Story continues
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for F.N.B. Mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.37 on $398.02 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.55 on $1.61 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Banks - Southeast is currently in the bottom 28% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, National Bank Holdings (NBHC), is yet to report results for the quarter ended December 2022. The results are expected to be released on January 24.
This holding company for NBH Bank is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.80 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +6.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
National Bank Holdings' revenues are expected to be $110.53 million, up 52% from the year-ago quarter.

Fastly operates a content delivery network, which is necessary for entities to provide faster and more reliable online content. Fastly’s strategy differs from traditional CDNs, which focused on locating servers in as many locations as possible to store copies of files that consumers most use. Fastly has far fewer sites than traditional CDNs, but it houses servers in the most network-dense data centers. Instead of simply storing static content, it allows its customers to program on its platform, enabling edge computing and better service of the more dynamic content that was traditionally not well served by CDNs.

NEWS_19 | How far off is Federal Signal Corporation (NYSE:FSS) from its intrinsic value? Using the most recent financial data, we'll take a look at whether the stock is fairly priced by projecting its future cash flows and then discounting them to today's value. One way to achieve this is by employing the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. It may sound complicated, but actually it is quite simple!
We would caution that there are many ways of valuing a company and, like the DCF, each technique has advantages and disadvantages in certain scenarios. Anyone interested in learning a bit more about intrinsic value should have a read of the Simply Wall St analysis model.
See our latest analysis for Federal Signal
Crunching The Numbers
We are going to use a two-stage DCF model, which, as the name states, takes into account two stages of growth. The first stage is generally a higher growth period which levels off heading towards the terminal value, captured in the second 'steady growth' period. To begin with, we have to get estimates of the next ten years of cash flows. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years.
A DCF is all about the idea that a dollar in the future is less valuable than a dollar today, and so the sum of these future cash flows is then discounted to today's value:
10-year free cash flow (FCF) forecast
2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 Levered FCF ($, Millions) US$161.2m US$190.9m US$221.2m US$234.7m US$251.8m US$264.7m US$275.8m US$285.5m US$294.2m US$302.3m Growth Rate Estimate Source Analyst x3 Analyst x2 Analyst x1 Analyst x1 Analyst x1 Est @ 5.12% Est @ 4.18% Est @ 3.52% Est @ 3.06% Est @ 2.73% Present Value ($, Millions) Discounted @ 8.3% US$149 US$163 US$174 US$171 US$169 US$164 US$158 US$151 US$143 US$136
("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)
Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = US$1.6b
Story continues
The second stage is also known as Terminal Value, this is the business's cash flow after the first stage. For a number of reasons a very conservative growth rate is used that cannot exceed that of a country's GDP growth. In this case we have used the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield (2.0%) to estimate future growth. In the same way as with the 10-year 'growth' period, we discount future cash flows to today's value, using a cost of equity of 8.3%.
Terminal Value (TV)= FCF 2032 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = US$302m× (1 + 2.0%) ÷ (8.3%– 2.0%) = US$4.9b
Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= US$4.9b÷ ( 1 + 8.3%)10= US$2.2b
The total value is the sum of cash flows for the next ten years plus the discounted terminal value, which results in the Total Equity Value, which in this case is US$3.8b. The last step is to then divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Relative to the current share price of US$50.9, the company appears about fair value at a 18% discount to where the stock price trades currently. Valuations are imprecise instruments though, rather like a telescope - move a few degrees and end up in a different galaxy. Do keep this in mind.
dcf
The Assumptions
The calculation above is very dependent on two assumptions. The first is the discount rate and the other is the cash flows. You don't have to agree with these inputs, I recommend redoing the calculations yourself and playing with them. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Federal Signal as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 8.3%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.054. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business.
SWOT Analysis for Federal Signal
Strength
Debt is not viewed as a risk.
Weakness
Earnings declined over the past year.
Dividend is low compared to the top 25% of dividend payers in the Machinery market.
Opportunity
Annual earnings are forecast to grow faster than the American market.
Current share price is below our estimate of fair value.
Threat
Revenue is forecast to grow slower than 20% per year.
Looking Ahead:
Whilst important, the DCF calculation shouldn't be the only metric you look at when researching a company. It's not possible to obtain a foolproof valuation with a DCF model. Rather it should be seen as a guide to "what assumptions need to be true for this stock to be under/overvalued?" If a company grows at a different rate, or if its cost of equity or risk free rate changes sharply, the output can look very different. For Federal Signal, we've compiled three pertinent factors you should consider:
Risks: Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk. We've identified 1 warning sign with Federal Signal , and understanding this should be part of your investment process. Future Earnings: How does FSS's growth rate compare to its peers and the wider market?

NEWS_20 | White Falcon Capital Management LLC, an investment management firm, published its fourth quarter 2022 investor letter – a copy of which can be downloaded here. A quarterly net increase of 2.52% has been recorded by the fund for the fourth quarter of 2022, below the S&P 500 (CAD) Index’s 5.25% gain for the same period. Spare some time to check the fund’s top 5 holdings to have a clue about their top bets for 2022.
In its Q3 2022 investor letter, White Falcon Capital Management mentioned Farfetch Limited (NYSE:FTCH) and explained its insights for the company. Founded in 2007, Farfetch Limited (NYSE:FTCH) is a London, United Kingdom-based online luxury fashion retail platform with a $2.3 billion market capitalization. Farfetch Limited (NYSE:FTCH) delivered a 32.98% return since the beginning of the year, while its 12-month returns are down by -70.91%. The stock closed at $6.29 per share on January 20, 2023.
Here is what White Falcon Capital Management has to say about Farfetch Limited (NYSE:FTCH) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
"The other half of the portfolio that had negative unrealized and realized losses and the common characteristics they had was that they were either technology stocks or small caps or both! The biggest mistakes in this basket have been Farfetch and CopperLeaf Technologies. Farfetch is the largest scaled e-commerce platform for luxury goods. In addition to being a marketplace, it has a platform solutions business (think Shopify for luxury) as well as a own brands division. Our revenue and margin estimates for Farfetch turned out to be too high when, during an investor day, management lowered their guidance for the business. The business should be able to do 20-30% EBITDA margins in a mature state but that is not looking likely due to lower realized market power and an inflated cost structure."
Our calculations show that Farfetch Limited (NYSE:FTCH) fell short and didn’t make it on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. Farfetch Limited (NYSE:FTCH) was in 50 hedge fund portfolios at the end of the second quarter of 2022, compared to 39 funds in the previous quarter. Farfetch Limited (NYSE:FTCH) delivered a -15.46% return in the past 3 months.
In January 2023, we published an article that includes Farfetch Limited (NYSE:FTCH) in 5 Penny Stocks That Will Make You A Millionaire. You can find other investor letters from hedge funds and prominent investors on our hedge fund investor letters Q4 2022 page.

NEWS_24 | VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 23, 2023 / Fury Gold Mines Limited (TSX:FURY)(NYSE American:FURY) ("Fury" or the "Company") is pleased to provide results for the final three 2022 core drill holes at the Eau Claire project located in the Eeyou Istchee Territory in the James Bay region of Quebec. The 2022 drill program successfully expanded the high-grade gold mineralized footprint at the Hinge Target, Gap Zone, and eastern expansion target areas. To date, the eleven holes drilled into the Hinge Target have had a hit rate of nearly 55% above the Eau Claire underground measured and indicated resource grade of 6.3 g/t gold and over 80% above the underground cut-off grade of 2.5 g/t gold. Collectively, these results have provided a clear focus for deposit expansion moving forward into 2023.
Drill hole 22EC-059 was drilled oblique to all other drilling at the Hinge Target (at an angle of 150 degrees) and provides confirmation of the current geological interpretation. The hole intercepted eight zones of gold mineralization across 350 metres (m) drilled width including 1.50m of 22.77 g/t gold, 1.50m of 15.30 g/t gold and 1.50m of 6.46 g/t gold (Table 1). The reported intercepts extend the gold mineralization and represent a 100m offset to the west and 150m vertical offset of the defined shallow 850 Zone within the Hinge Target. Notably, the reported intercept of 1.50m of 22.77 g/t gold at a downhole depth of 181.5m, approximately 155m below surface, is one of the shallowest high-grade intercepts to date within the Hinge Target zone.
"Fury is pleased to announce the final drill results from our 2022 drill program at Eau Claire, as these results further confirm our thesis that the Eau Claire resource is open for significant expansion. Importantly, we have extended the mineralized footprint of the resource at the Hinge Target, Gap Zone, and eastern expansion, and have intercepted substantial gold grades at the Percival Main zone, located 14 km from Eau Claire, which warrant follow-up work," commented Tim Clark, CEO of Fury. "The results of our program at Eau Claire are extremely encouraging and our 2023 plans are being reviewed and will be announced in the coming weeks."

Western Hinge Target
Fury's updated geological interpretation of the controls on mineralization within the Eau Claire resource has led to a focus on the fold geometry at the Hinge Target resulting in an overall increase of approximately 25% to the mineralized footprint (Figure 1). Drill holes 22EC-059 were designed to drill perpendicular to the apex of the fold hinge to test a series of vertically oriented veins, related to folding, as well as to expand upon shallow 850 Zone mineralization within 150 meters of surface. The Hinge target remains open to the west as well as up dip and down dip.

Lengths for exploration drilling are drill indicated core length, as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths at this time.
Resource Expansion Drilling to the East
The 2022 eastern expansion drill program was designed to test for continuity between defined resource blocks along the southeastern margin of the Eau Claire deposit where the Company intercepted significant high-grade gold results from limited 2021 drilling of 23.27 g/t gold over 7.09m, 11.56 g/t gold over 6.04m(see news releases dated May 25, 2021 and March 1, 2021). All six drill holes completed in 2022 intercepted quartz tourmaline veining with associated alteration and include the following intercepts: 2.50m of 3.91 g/t gold from 22EC-060 and 1.50m of 3.65 g/t gold from 22EC-061 (Table 1 and Figure 1). The intercepts extend mineralization 65m and 75m respectively confirming the dip continuity of the defined mineralization along the southeast margin of the Eau Claire deposit.
"With every drill hole completed into the Hinge Target, we are increasing our understanding both of the controls on mineralization as well as the potential scale. The 55% hit rate in the Hinge Target above resource grade exceeds the hit rate within the Eau Claire deposit of 35% and gives us confidence that the deposit can be expanded to the west," stated Bryan Atkinson, SVP, Exploration of Fury.
Additionally, the Company is announcing that it has engaged with Native Ads Inc. ("Native Ads"), a firm of digital media experts, to execute a comprehensive digital media marketing campaign supporting Fury's ongoing efforts to increase awareness. This comprehensive advertising program is designed to build brand familiarity, general recognition and raise awareness within online investor content platforms. Native Ads will employ state-of-the-art advertising, paid distribution, media buying and content creation to execute this important initiative. Financial terms of the agreement were not released but are customary and non-material.

Sampling and Assaying Disclosure
Analytical samples for the Drill Program were taken by sawing HQ diameter core into equal halves on site with one half sent to ALS Chemex in Val D'or, Quebec, Canada for preparation and analysis. All samples were assayed using a 50 g nominal weight fire assay with inductively coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrometry finish (Au-ICP22) and multi-element four acid digest ICP-AES/ICP-MS method (ME-MS61). Where Au-ICP22 results were greater than 0.5 ppm Au the assay was repeated with a 50 g nominal weight fire assay with atomic absorption finish (Au-AA24). Samples containing more than 5 ppm by Au-AA24 were re-assayed with 50 g nominal weight fire assay with gravimetric finish (Au-GRA22). QA/QC programs using internal standard samples, field and lab duplicates and blanks indicate good overall accuracy and precision.

NEWS_28 | Strength Seen in Wayfair (W): Can Its 20.3% Jump Turn into More Strength?
Wayfair (W) shares soared 20.3% in the last trading session to close at $46.79. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 13.7% gain over the past four weeks.
Wayfair extended its rally, driven by its latest decision regarding job cuts. Notably, the company is set to lay off 1,000 workers or 10% of its workforce.
This online home goods retailer is expected to post quarterly loss of $1.64 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -78.3%. Revenues are expected to be $3.01 billion, down 7.5% from the year-ago quarter.
While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For Wayfair, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.6% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. And a positive trend in earnings estimate revision usually translates into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on W going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
Wayfair is a member of the Zacks Internet - Commerce industry. One other stock in the same industry, Fiverr International (FVRR), finished the last trading session 3.1% higher at $33.93. FVRR has returned 10% over the past month.
Fiverr's consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has remained unchanged over the past month at $0.22. Compared to the company's year-ago EPS, this represents no change. Fiverr currently boasts a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

NEWS_29 | Zions (ZION) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.84 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.66 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.34 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 10.84%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this financial holding company would post earnings of $1.58 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.40, delivering a surprise of -11.39%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Zions , which belongs to the Zacks Banks - West industry, posted revenues of $883 million for the quarter ended December 2022, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.14%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $753 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Zions shares have added about 4.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 3.5%.
What's Next for Zions?
While Zions has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Story continues
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Zions: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.61 on $873.92 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $6.60 on $3.54 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Banks - West is currently in the bottom 25% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Glacier Bancorp (GBCI), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended December 2022. The results are expected to be released on January 26.
This bank holding company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.73 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +58.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.1% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
Glacier Bancorp's revenues are expected to be $242.03 million, up 9% from the year-ago quarter.

GoDaddy, Monday, January 23, 2023, Press release picture
Originally published on GoDaddy Life
Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do at GoDaddy?
I am a Senior Software Engineer on the DRI team and work on Domain Control center products. I have been with GoDaddy for over seven years now. I started at GoDaddy right after my Masters in CS in 2015. The past seven years have been amazing - I have really grown into myself! I started calling The United States my home (after moving from India in 2012), become a mom of two little girls, and have had the opportunity to work on so many different projects, here. I have been involved with GDGrad from early on. This is an Employee Resource Group dedicated to building a community for recent graduates. As a mentor to these individuals, I help them onboard and feel comfortable in a corporate environment. I was fortunate enough to travel to Stanford and Pittsburg University back in 2016 and 2017 as part of the recruitment process. This was an extremely fulfilling experience.
How does GoDaddy make you feel supported as a woman?
I have been the only woman on my team for a very long time now. Even though you might think I would face adversity, I have never felt that I am treated any differently, which is absolutely amazing. GoDaddy is generous with Maternity Leave, giving me time to bond with my babies. GDWIT, which is an Employee Resource for Women, has been a support system through many uncertain times with the pandemic.
What is one thing you learned about yourself at work recently?
I have always been an IC since I joined GoDaddy. This role is mandatory until you get to level three. After this level, you can choose between IC or a leadership role. However, I got an opportunity to lead a few major projects. This includes TransferIn rewrite and New DOP products! Through this experience, I interacted with major stakeholders crucial to project completion and communicated with Product and Program Managers. In the process, I learned that I am really good at mentoring junior folks, communicating, and resolving issues for various stakeholders. I was given accolades for "Joining Forces" for both projects. Because of these opportunities, I have decided to transition into an Engineering Manager role within this year.
Story continues
What's something you're actively trying to unlearn at work?
I had to unlearn perfectionism. We often think (especially as a woman) that "perfect" work is always better than "good" work, but very often the opposite is true. The time that it would take to perfect a project means that other work will get pushed aside. Good work doesn't always have to be flawless.
What is your personal advise for women who are interested in your profession?
Be curious and confident. In the tech industry, you always have to be learning. I have been able to learn a plethora of new languages and technologies since joining GoDaddy. It's important to always be working on your tech skills, while understanding your interests. I was a frontend engineer when I started and it didn't suit my interests. So, I transitioned into Backend and absolutely love it. Be confident in sharing your ideas! Be confident in speaking to your manager about which path you want to move towards in your career. I wish I learned this sooner rather than later!
What ideas might you bring to the GDWIT group?
I was a site lead for the Iowa location for a long time and I saw women and allies really get excited when they found common interests amongst the group. With remote work, it's harder to find commonalities with your coworkers. I would like to create that space in a virtual setting, as well. It would be so neat to have sub groups within GDWIT, where members can chat and discuss topics that interest them. Examples could include: recipes for healthy eating, travel tips, and so on. We can also try to organize events that address these interests.

NEWS_31 | How far off is GoodRx Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GDRX) from its intrinsic value? Using the most recent financial data, we'll take a look at whether the stock is fairly priced by taking the expected future cash flows and discounting them to their present value. One way to achieve this is by employing the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. Models like these may appear beyond the comprehension of a lay person, but they're fairly easy to follow.
Companies can be valued in a lot of ways, so we would point out that a DCF is not perfect for every situation. For those who are keen learners of equity analysis, the Simply Wall St analysis model here may be something of interest to you.
Check out our latest analysis for GoodRx Holdings
Scroll to continue with content Ad ADVERTISEMENT
Step By Step Through The Calculation
We are going to use a two-stage DCF model, which, as the name states, takes into account two stages of growth. The first stage is generally a higher growth period which levels off heading towards the terminal value, captured in the second 'steady growth' period. 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 (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years.
A DCF is all about the idea that a dollar in the future is less valuable than a dollar today, so we discount the value of these future cash flows to their estimated value in today's dollars:
10-year free cash flow (FCF) forecast
2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 Levered FCF ($, Millions) US$139.9m US$184.7m US$186.0m US$233.7m US$259.9m US$281.8m US$300.2m US$315.6m US$328.9m US$340.5m Growth Rate Estimate Source Analyst x5 Analyst x5 Analyst x1 Analyst x1 Est @ 11.22% Est @ 8.45% Est @ 6.51% Est @ 5.15% Est @ 4.20% Est @ 3.53% Present Value ($, Millions) Discounted @ 8.4% US$129 US$157 US$146 US$169 US$174 US$174 US$171 US$166 US$159 US$152
("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)
Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = US$1.6b
Advertisement Advertisement
After calculating the present value of future cash flows in the initial 10-year period, we need to calculate the Terminal Value, which accounts for all future cash flows beyond the first stage. The Gordon Growth formula is used to calculate Terminal Value at a future annual growth rate equal to the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield of 2.0%. We discount the terminal cash flows to today's value at a cost of equity of 8.4%.
Terminal Value (TV)= FCF 2032 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = US$341m× (1 + 2.0%) ÷ (8.4%– 2.0%) = US$5.4b
Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= US$5.4b÷ ( 1 + 8.4%)10= US$2.4b
The total value, or equity value, is then the sum of the present value of the future cash flows, which in this case is US$4.0b. In the final step we divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Relative to the current share price of US$5.3, the company appears quite good value at a 48% discount to where the stock price trades currently. Valuations are imprecise instruments though, rather like a telescope - move a few degrees and end up in a different galaxy. Do keep this in mind.
dcf
Important Assumptions
We would point out that the most important inputs to a discounted cash flow are the discount rate and of course the actual cash flows. Part of investing is coming up with your own evaluation of a company's future performance, so try the calculation yourself and check your own assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at GoodRx Holdings as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 8.4%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.067. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business.

SWOT Analysis for GoodRx Holdings
Strength
Debt is well covered by cash flow.
Weakness
Interest payments on debt are not well covered.
Opportunity
Forecast to reduce losses next year.
Has sufficient cash runway for more than 3 years based on current free cash flows.
Good value based on P/S ratio and estimated fair value.
Threat
No apparent threats visible for GDRX.
Next Steps:
Valuation is only one side of the coin in terms of building your investment thesis, and it is only one of many factors that you need to assess for a company. DCF models are not the be-all and end-all of investment valuation. Instead the best use for a DCF model is to test certain assumptions and theories to see if they would lead to the company being undervalued or overvalued. If a company grows at a different rate, or if its cost of equity or risk free rate changes sharply, the output can look very different. What is the reason for the share price sitting below the intrinsic value? For GoodRx Holdings, we've compiled three additional aspects you should assess:

NEWS_34 | NEW YORK, January 23, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The decision by some top law schools to exit the rankings hasn’t led to anything similar among business schools (yet), but if it did, many admissions officers would welcome it, according to Manhattan Prep/Kaplan’s 2022 business school admissions officers survey*. Among the admissions officers surveyed at 117 full-time MBA programs across the United States, 37 percent believe that "business school rankings have lost some of their prestige over the last couple of years" and 29 percent disagree with that point of view; the remaining 34 percent didn’t express one view or the other. Additionally, 34 percent of business schools "think it would be a positive development, for both business schools and applicants, for business school rankings to no longer exist," while 30 percent disagree; the remaining 36 percent didn’t express one view or the other.
These evolving views on the rankings come at a time of significant change on the MBA admissions landscape, with business schools looking for ways to boost their application numbers and many continuing to remain test optional, a COVID-era policy, as a way to accomplish this. It also comes at a time when some business schools and colleges have come under fire for reporting false data to game the rankings, hurting the system’s credibility.
Those who held negative views about the rankings shared these reasons:
"We should be focusing on fit, not prestige. What program is going to give the student the most positive experience and highest return on investment. We should be in the business of informing, not competing."
"The methodology is often so terribly flawed. Some are so poorly done and are done so only to make money. Business schools have accepted that somewhat, but many of today's prospective students seem to have a more critical eye than previous prospects. They tell us the rankings don't have the influence they once had."
"The criteria used for ranking is skewed to benefit the schools that already have more students and spend a lot of marketing dollars."
"The audience is more aware of the subjectivity of rankings, some schools have chosen not to participate, and some of the rankings have produced questionable results."
"Over the years, more than a few admissions officers half-jokingly said that ‘The most sleepless night for business school leaders is the night before the U.S. News rankings come out,’ since for some, their job hangs in the balance," said Stacey Koprince, director of content and curriculum for Manhattan Prep, a sister company of Kaplan. "Whether there’s widespread rebellion against the rankings the way we’ve seen among top law schools remains to be seen. For prospective students our advice is to look at the rankings when deciding where to apply and enroll, as they serve as a useful aggregate of important stats like post-graduate job numbers and starting salaries, but also strongly consider which schools seem like the best fit for you personally and for your professional goals."
To schedule an interview with a Manhattan Prep/Kaplan expert about the survey results, journalists can contact Russell Schaffer at russell.schaffer@kaplan.com or 917.822.8190.
*Based on the results of a survey conducted by phone and email between September and December 2022 and includes responses from 117 business schools across the United States; among them are 18 of the top 50 schools, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report.

NEWS_37 | La Garrucha deposit adds approx. 1.0 million oz AuEq in the Inferred category and
0.2 million oz AuEq in the Indicated category (see Table 1)
Updated Mineral Resource estimate inclusive of La Garrucha positions La Mina with 1.15 million oz AuEq Indicated and 1.45 million oz AuEq Inferred resources
DESIGNATED NEWS RELEASE
VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 23, 2023 /CNW/ - GoldMining Inc. (the "Company" or "GoldMining") (TSX: GOLD) (NYSE American: GLDG) is pleased to announce an updated Mineral Resource estimate ("MRE") on its 100% owned La Mina Project located in the Middle Cauca Porphyry Belt, Antioquia, Colombia. The MRE includes a maiden resource estimate on the La Garrucha deposit which incorporates drilling completed by the Company in 2022.
Highlights:
La Garrucha – New Discovery
Indicated Mineral Resources of 0.20 million ounces (Moz) gold equivalent (AuEq) at 0.84 g/t AuEq (7.4 million tonnes (Mt) grading 0.65 g/t gold, 3.14 g/t silver and 0.11% copper) (see Table 1); and
Inferred Mineral Resources of 1.02 Moz AuEq at 0.72 g/t AuEq (44.1 Mt grading 0.55 g/t gold, 2.46 g/t silver and 0.10% copper) (see Table 1).
La Mina – Combined MRE
Indicated Mineral Resources of 1.15 Moz AuEq at 1.06 g/t AuEq, an increase of 16% in ounces and decrease in grade of 3% from 2022 (33.8 Mt grading 0.73 g/t gold, 2.08 g/t silver and 0.21% copper) (see Table 1); and
Inferred Mineral Resources of 1.45 Moz AuEq at 0.80 g/t AuEq an increase of 215% in ounces and decrease in grade of 24% from 2022 (56.2 Mt grading 0.58 g/t gold, 2.32 g/t silver and 0.14% copper) (see Table 1).
Alastair Still, CEO of GoldMining, commented, "We are extremely pleased that the Company's first exploration drilling program at La Mina has identified a significant discovery at the La Garrucha deposit that has added over 1,000,000 gold equivalent ounces of estimated Inferred Resources and 200,000 gold equivalent ounces of estimated Indicated Resources to an already robust Mineral Resource estimate on our La Mina project. This exciting discovery has exceeded our expectations and builds upon the positive economics set out in our 2022 Preliminary Economic Assessment, which was based on the prior resource estimate for the project, exclusive of La Garrucha. Throughout, our team has maintained high standards of sustainable exploration and demonstrated our commitment to safety, effective stakeholder engagement and environmental stewardship.
Story continues
With all-inclusive direct drilling costs by the Company at La Garrucha of under US$1.2 million for our recent program, this discovery was made at a very efficient cost per ounce of estimated resource and exemplifies our strategy and progress of unlocking value from our portfolio of gold and gold-copper assets while maintaining a peer-leading balance sheet."
Tim Smith, Vice President Exploration of GoldMining, commented, "The updated Mineral Resource estimate at La Garrucha represents an unqualified success for the Company in applying its strategy of identifying the best value accretion opportunities within our diverse portfolio of gold and gold-copper resource assets located throughout the Americas. From inception to execution, the drill program was expertly managed by our team in Colombia and the results demonstrate both the quality and further potential for additional discovery within the La Mina porphyry gold-copper mineral system. On the strength of this updated Mineral Resource estimate, the Company now looks forward to updating the La Mina Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) which we expect to complete on or around mid-2023."
La Mina Updated Resource Metrics:
Indicated Mineral Resource tonnage has increased by 19.5% from the prior estimate, while metal content for gold, silver and copper has increased by 19.7%, 40.7% and 5.9%, respectively compared to the prior resource estimate (see Table 2);
Inferred Mineral Resource tonnage has increased 312.5%, while metal content for gold, silver and copper has increased by 265.6%, 442.5%, and 111.0%, respectively compared to the prior resource estimate (see Table 2);
The MRE has been updated with metal prices of US$1,700/oz gold, US$21/oz silver, and US$3.50/lb copper, compared to the prior estimate which used metal prices of US$1,600/oz gold, US$21/oz silver, and US$3.25/lb copper;
The MRE utilizes pit shells to constrain resources at the La Cantera, La Garrucha and Middle Zone deposits using a 0.30 g/t Au cut-off grade, compared to the prior estimate which used 0.25 g/t Au cut-off grade;
Metallurgical work has been conducted for the La Garrucha deposit by ALS in Kamloops, British Columbia from a 100 kg bulk sample collected from drill core;
The total La Mina Project area comprises a database of 111 drill holes totaling 40,179 metres with 102 drillholes and 37,256 metres drilled within the three deposits at La Cantera, La Garrucha and Middle Zone; and
For the first time, the MRE at La Mina incorporates the La Garrucha deposit which is located within 1 kilometre to the east of the prior mineral resources. Refer to Figure 1.

Figure 1 - Property Map for La Mina Project (CNW Group/GoldMining Inc.)
From late March to mid-August 2022, GoldMining completed a diamond core drilling program comprising five drill holes for 3,485 m at the La Garrucha deposit, a porphyry mineral system which measures over 400 m in strike length by 300 m in width and to at least 775 m below surface where it remains open. Gold and copper mineralization in the La Garrucha porphyry intrusive complex is accompanied by strong potassic alteration, characterized by secondary potassium feldspar and biotite, disseminated and vein magnetite, quartz stockwork veining and both vein-hosted and disseminated sulphides that include pyrite, chalcopyrite and lesser bornite. Lithological, alteration and structural logging of both the new core and re-logging of historic core was completed to compile a three-dimensional geological model.
The MRE disclosed herein for the La Mina Project was prepared by Scott Wilson, C.P.G., of Resource Development Associates Inc. and has an effective date of December 20, 2022.

Notice to Readers
Disclosure regarding Mineral Resource estimates included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with NI 43-101. NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for public disclosure by issuer of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. NI 43-101 differs significantly from the disclosure requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") generally applicable to U.S. companies subject to the SEC's disclosure requirements. For example, the terms "Indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource" are defined in NI 43-101 by reference to the guidelines set out in the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. Shareholders resident in the United States are cautioned that while terms are substantially similar to "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" as defined by the SEC, there are differences in the definitions and standards under applicable SEC Rules and NI 43-101. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral resources that the Company may report as "Indicated Mineral Resources" and "Inferred Mineral Resources" under NI 43-101 will be the same as the reserve or resource estimates prepared under rules applicable to United States domestic issuers. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves. Pursuant to CIM Definition Standards, "Inferred mineral resources" are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Such geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. An inferred mineral resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an indicated mineral resource and must not be converted to a mineral reserve. However, it is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources with continued exploration. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
Forward-looking Statements
This document contains certain forward-looking statements that reflect the current views and/or expectations of GoldMining with respect to its business plans and strategies, expectations regarding the La Mina Project and its potential and the expected timing of future PEAs. Forward-looking statements are based on the then-current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates and forecasts about the business and the markets in which GoldMining operates. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including: the inherent risks involved in the exploration and development of mineral properties, proposed studies may not confirm GoldMining's expectations for its projects, fluctuating metal prices, unanticipated costs and expenses, risks related to government and environmental regulation, social, permitting and licensing matters, and uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future. These risks, as well as others, including those set forth in GoldMiningꞌs Annual Information Form for the year ended November 30, 2021, and other filings with Canadian securities regulators and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, could cause actual results and events to vary significantly. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information, or the material factors or assumptions used to develop such forward-looking information, will prove to be accurate. The Company does not undertake any obligations to release publicly any revisions for updating any voluntary forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable securities law.

NEWS_38 | Genius Group Ltd. GNS, +45.37% , a Singapore-based education company, set guidance for 2023 on Monday, saying it expects revenue of $48 million to $52 million, up 37% from its 2022 proforma guidance. The company, which captured headlines last week when it said it had appointed a former F.B.I. director to lead a task force investigating alleged illegal trading in its stock that it first disclosed in early January, said it expects the number of students attending its entrepreneur-training courses to climb to 5.7 million to 6.0 million, up 30% from 2022. The company expects to achieve adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, of $500,000 to $1.0 million. “In 2023 we are expecting Genius Group to continue our strong growth trajectory, and we are focused on managing our costs and achieving positive EBITDA,” Chief Executive Roger Hamilton said in a statement. The stock jumped 15% premarket. On Thursday, the stock soared a record 290% in heavy volume. Hamilton told MarketWatch on Friday about the company’s plan to go after people or groups that have been engaging in naked short selling of its stock. |
NEWS_39 | “It’s like being robbed in a library, but you can’t shout ‘Thief!’ because there are ‘Silence, please’ signs everywhere.”
That’s how Roger Hamilton, chief executive of Genius Group Ltd. GNS, +45.37% , describes the powerlessness he feels as U.S. securities rules prevent him from discussing his company’s share price, even as it comes under attack from a group of naked short sellers.
The Singapore-based education company on Thursday announced it had appointed a former FBI director to lead a task force investigating alleged illegal trading in its stock that it first addressed in early January.
For context: Genius Group stock rallies more than 200% after it appoints former F.B.I. director to investigate alleged naked short selling
The news sent the stock up a record 290% on Thursday, and it climbed another 59% on Friday. Volume of about 270 million shares traded in Thursday’s session crushed the daily average of about 634,000 — another indicator, Hamilton told MarketWatch in an interview Friday, of wrongdoing, given that the company’s float is just 10.9 million shares. “Clearly, that’s far more shares than we created,” he said.
Genius Group has evidence from Warshaw Burstein LLP and Christian Levine Law Group, with tracking from Share Intel, that certain individuals and/or companies sold but failed to deliver a “significant” amount of its shares as part of a scheme seeking to artificially depress the stock price.
The company is now exploring legal action and is planning an extraordinary general meeting in the coming weeks to get shareholder approval for its planned actions. These include paying a special dividend as a way to flush out bad actors and working with regulators to share information.
Share Intel uses tracking software in real time to determine exactly where there are discrepancies in the market and where brokers are opening large positions, Hamilton said. The software can measure the number of shares that are being naked shorted and has found multiple instances where significant amounts of fake shares were being created, said Hamilton.
Naked short selling is illegal under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, but that hasn’t stopped the practice, which Hamilton said affects far more companies than is generally known.
In regular short trading, an investor borrows shares from someone else, then sells them and waits for the stock price to fall. When that happens the shares are bought cheaper and returned to the prior owner, with the short seller pocketing the difference as profit.
In naked short selling, investors don’t bother borrowing the stock first and simply sell shares with a promise to deliver them at a later date. When that promise is not fulfilled, it’s known as failure to deliver.
By repeating that process again and again, bad actors can generate massive profits and manipulate a stock’s price lower, with an ultimate goal of driving a company to bankruptcy, at which point all the equity is wiped out and the naked shorts no longer need to be covered.
Hamilton said the evidence gathered by Genius Group shows a great deal of the illegal activity is happening on U.S. exchanges, but there’s also activity happening off-exchange and involving dark pools.
The company is fighting back “because we want this to stop,” Hamilton told MarketWatch. “They’re taking value away from our shareholders. They’re predators. They’re doing something illegal, and we want it to stop, whether that means getting regulators to enforce existing regulations or put new ones in place.”
Public companies have to have committees to monitor and report internal fraud to protect shareholders, he said. But there is no such team looking for external fraud and many retail investors see stocks being manipulated, he said.
“Hopefully, regulations will change and regulators will see there are as many, if not more, threats from outside a company,” he said.
Genius Group is not alone, said Hamilton. He cited among other examples Torchlight, an oil- and gas-exploration company that decided to merge with Metamaterial Inc. to thwart a naked-short-selling attack.
The stock rose from 30 cents to $11 in the six months after the deal was completed, and the company was able to raise about $183 million through a combination of convertible debt and equity. An interview Hamilton conducted with Torchlight’s former CEO, John Brda, can be found below.
Then there’s Jeremy Frommer, CEO of Creatd Inc. CRTD, +1.35% , which aims to unlock creativity for creators, brands and consumers, who is behind Ceobloc, a website that aims to end the practice of naked short selling.
“Illegal naked short selling is the biggest risk to the health of today’s public markets,” is how the site introduces its mission.
On Friday, the stock of Helbiz Inc. HLBZ, +109.13% joined Genius Group in rocketing higher in high volume, after that company said it, too, was taking on naked short sellers.
The New York–based maker of e-scooters and e-bicyles said that it was following Genius Group’s example and that it believes “certain individuals and/or companies may have engaged in illegal short selling practices that have artificially depressed the stock price.” The stock had plummeted 64% over the three months through Thursday’s close at 12.31 cents. |

NEWS_41 | A growing number of small-cap companies are announcing plans to go after naked short sellers, claiming their stocks are being artificially depressed by illegal trading activity. Verb Technology Co. Inc. (VERB) , a provider of interactive video-based sales apps with operations in Newport, California and Lehi, Utah, said Monday it was joining education company Genius Group Ltd. (GNS) e-scooter and e-bike maker Helbiz (HLBZ) and Creatd Inc. (CRTD) which aims to unlock creativity for creators, brands and consumers, in coming up with measures to ensure “greater integrity in the capital markets,” as Chief Executive Rory J. Cutai said in a statement. Genius Group got the ball rolling last week when it said it had appointed a former F.B.I. director to lead a task force investigating alleged illegal trading in its stock that it first disclosed in early January. |

READ THE FULL GNS RESEARCH REPORT
Genius Group (NYSE:GNS) continues to grow their business and recently raised their revenue guidance for 2023. To us, this continues to illustrate the positive momentum the cutting-edge entrepreneurial education company has and reinforces our belief that GNS is a stock worth a look by investors. Additionally, we believe that the downturn in overall global economic growth that we’ve seen recently and is likely to continue helps to bolster the prospects for Genuis Group. As economic conditions worsen, and the labor market tightens, which is a clear objective of the Federal Reserve, people often look to educational improvements in order to advance their situation. And a company such as Genius, which provides an innovative experience designed to engage the student is one that should disproportionately benefit from such a move in our view.
As mentioned, the company issued 2023 guidance for several numerical metrics:
• 2023 revenue is expected to grow to $48-52 million, up 37% from the $35-38 million 2022 pro forma guidance.
• The number of students the company expects to have in 2023 rises to 5.7-6.0 million from the 4.4-4.6 million guided to in 2022.
• The company also expects 2023 adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $0.5-1.0 million.
Management also updated the integration of the company’s recent acquisitions and noted that continue the process and believe that those acquisitions will contribute positively to the 2023 results.
On another subject, Genius has been involved in investigating the potential for illegal manipulation occurring in the company’s stock price, resulting in depressing the price artificially. The initial investigation appeared to garner enough evidence to move on to the next step, which involves several moves by the Genius board:
• The company announced that it is advancing to the next stage of the legal process and is exploring legal action against anyone reasonably believed to be involved in market manipulation of GNS stock.
Story continues
• The board announced plans to pay a special dividend to all shareholders. The company hopes that by doing this those who have participated in market manipulation of the stock may be exposed.
o Details of the special dividend will be announced at a later date.
• The company is also exploring the possibility of a dual listing.
We aren’t going to opine much on this situation as it is still in the legal pipeline and investigation are continuing but we will say that we wholeheartedly support any efforts to dissuade market manipulation and believe that the efforts by Genius management will ultimately benefit shareholders, which we’ve already seen evidence of in a very short time frame—further bolstering the case for investing in GNS stock in our view.

NEWS_45 | Ideally, your overall portfolio should beat the market average. But every investor is virtually certain to have both over-performing and under-performing stocks. At this point some shareholders may be questioning their investment in Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (NASDAQ:LGND), since the last five years saw the share price fall 58%. Shareholders have had an even rougher run lately, with the share price down 19% in the last 90 days.
So let's have a look and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress.
View our latest analysis for Ligand Pharmaceuticals
In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.
Over five years Ligand Pharmaceuticals' earnings per share dropped significantly, falling to a loss, with the share price also lower. Since the company has fallen to a loss making position, it's hard to compare the change in EPS with the share price change. But we would generally expect a lower price, given the situation.
You can see how EPS has changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values).
We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on Ligand Pharmaceuticals' earnings, revenue and cash flow.
What About The Total Shareholder Return (TSR)?
We've already covered Ligand Pharmaceuticals' share price action, but we should also mention its total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR attempts to capture the value of dividends (as if they were reinvested) as well as any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings offered to shareholders. Ligand Pharmaceuticals hasn't been paying dividends, but its TSR of -35% exceeds its share price return of -58%, implying it has either spun-off a business, or raised capital at a discount; thereby providing additional value to shareholders.
Story continues
A Different Perspective
While it's certainly disappointing to see that Ligand Pharmaceuticals shares lost 7.3% throughout the year, that wasn't as bad as the market loss of 10%. What is more upsetting is the 6% per annum loss investors have suffered over the last half decade. This sort of share price action isn't particularly encouraging, but at least the losses are slowing. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk. We've identified 1 warning sign with Ligand Pharmaceuticals , and understanding them should be part of your investment process.
There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. You probably do not want to miss this free list of growing companies that insiders are buying.

NEWS_50 | LPL Financial Holdings, Inc.
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC announced today that two teams of financial advisors who serve a combined $275 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets* have joined LPL’s employee advisor channel, Linsco by LPL Financial (“Linsco”). Chris Corcoran CRPC®, joins from Merrill Lynch and will be the first tenant in a new Linsco office in Houston, Texas. Additionally, Matt Jackson and Adam Callender CRPC®, join LPL from Truist and will work remotely from Northeast Florida.
About Memorial Financial Advisors of LPL Financial
With nearly 25 years of industry experience, Corcoran’s mission is to be transparent and honest in his work to help clients make sensible decisions that move them closer to their financial goals. He works primarily with oil and gas engineers and other self-made clients.
“I entered financial services because I saw the impact it has on a person’s life. I found that many people don’t have the experience or inclination to create a plan for their financial future, but with the right guidance and processes in place, they are better prepared to send their children to college, retire comfortably and distribute wealth to the next generation,” Corcoran said. “I’ve spent two decades building a relationship-driven practice where I do my best to provide great experiences, financial education and timely advice, all actionable and simple to understand.”
With the move to LPL, Corcoran launches Memorial Financial Advisors of LPL Financial, named after the affluent, suburban Memorial area of Houston.
About Jackson Callender Group Wealth Management Powered by LPL Financial
With a combined 22 years of financial services experience, Jackson and Callender have worked together since 2006, having shifted from the mortgage industry to wealth management in 2010. The advisors specialize in retirement planning, investment solutions and appropriate risk management strategies, and they are joined by Registered Client Service Associate Tiffany Nessmith.
Story continues
“Our process begins by understanding each client’s goals and learning about their family and interests,” Jackson said. “Then, we tailor a combination of strategies for each client, helping them understand and adjust for the impact of key events in the market as they work toward financial success.”
Why Linsco by LPL?
Both teams turned to Linsco by LPL in their quest to enhance the service experience for clients and operate on their own terms, with the freedom and flexibility to focus on what’s best for their clients and business.
Linsco by LPL serves financial advisors seeking the core tenets of independence, including owning their client relationships and having flexibility to run their practice, their way. With Linsco, advisors benefit from the support from an experienced branch management team, dedicated marketing consultant, technology consultant and service team, freeing up more time for advisors to focus on helping their clients.
As the anchor tenant in the new Houston Linsco office, Corcoran hopes to set the tone for an open, welcoming and friendly environment. He looks forward to the next phase of his career.
“I’ve met with every large financial services firm over the past two years, and with LPL I feel like I’ve found a true partner to help me create a practice on my own terms,” Corcoran said. “I wanted to be a W2 employee so I didn’t have to worry about real estate or running the business, but I also wanted flexibility to control my own practice. Linsco combines the best of both worlds. I’ve always said I’m going to do what’s best for my clients and ensure they have great experiences, and this move supports that mission.”
The Jackson Callender Group echoed that sentiment.
“We spoke with seven firms during our due diligence process, but LPL stood out as the best place where we can service our clients and grow our business,” Callender said. “Linsco is a nice blend of what we were looking for. It empowers us to make our own decisions, while also giving us a technology upgrade, easier processes and dedicated support to help with operations so we can keep focus on helping our clients.”
Scott Posner, LPL Executive Vice President, Business Development, added, “We welcome these teams to the Linsco community and are honored that Chris, Matt and Adam recognized that LPL can help them take their practice to the next level. Linsco advisors enjoy all the benefits of being an LPL employee, along with autonomy to manage their practice on their own terms. At LPL, we understand that advisors want the freedom and flexibility to provide personalized financial guidance and differentiated service experiences. We are deeply committed to supporting them with integrated capabilities, robust resources and business solutions designed to help their practice thrive. We wish nothing but success for Memorial Financial Advisors and Jackson Callender Wealth Management and look forward to an exciting journey ahead with these teams.”

NEWS_51 | Long term investing can be life changing when you buy and hold the truly great businesses. While the best companies are hard to find, but they can generate massive returns over long periods. Just think about the savvy investors who held Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:LSCC) shares for the last five years, while they gained 987%. If that doesn't get you thinking about long term investing, we don't know what will. It's also good to see the share price up 41% over the last quarter. We love happy stories like this one. The company should be really proud of that performance!
So let's assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 5 years and see if they've moved in lock-step with shareholder returns.
View our latest analysis for Lattice Semiconductor
To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.
During the five years of share price growth, Lattice Semiconductor moved from a loss to profitability. That kind of transition can be an inflection point that justifies a strong share price gain, just as we have seen here. Given that the company made a profit three years ago, but not five years ago, it is worth looking at the share price returns over the last three years, too. We can see that the Lattice Semiconductor share price is up 248% in the last three years. During the same period, EPS grew by 88% each year. This EPS growth is higher than the 51% average annual increase in the share price over the same three years. So you might conclude the market is a little more cautious about the stock, these days. Of course, with a P/E ratio of 63.88, the market remains optimistic.
The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail).
We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. Before buying or selling a stock, we always recommend a close examination of historic growth trends, available here..
A Different Perspective
It's good to see that Lattice Semiconductor has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 33% in the last twelve months. However, the TSR over five years, coming in at 61% per year, is even more impressive. The pessimistic view would be that be that the stock has its best days behind it, but on the other hand the price might simply be moderating while the business itself continues to execute. It is all well and good that insiders have been buying shares, but we suggest you check here to see what price insiders were buying at.
Lattice Semiconductor is not the only stock insiders are buying. So take a peek at this free list of growing companies with insider buying.

NEWS_52 | Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the 'long' context, investors will essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.
Even though momentum is a popular stock characteristic, it can be tough to define. Debate surrounding which are the best and worst metrics to focus on is lengthy, but the Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.
Below, we take a look at Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. (LTH), a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of B. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score.
It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. Currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B outperform the market over the following one-month period.
You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>>
Set to Beat the Market?
In order to see if LTH is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this company holds up.
Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It's also helpful to compare a security to its industry; this can show investors the best companies in a particular area.
Story continues
For LTH, shares are up 35.44% over the past week while the Zacks Medical Services industry is up 6.29% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 45.91% compares favorably with the industry's 10.69% performance as well.
While any stock can see a spike in price, it takes a real winner to consistently outperform the market. Over the past quarter, shares of Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. Have risen 63.21%, and are up 10.56% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 8.85% and -9.95%, respectively.
Investors should also pay attention to LTH's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. LTH is currently averaging 486,451 shares for the last 20 days.
Earnings Outlook
The Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with LTH.
Over the past two months, 2 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost LTH's consensus estimate, increasing from -$0.15 to -$0.11 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 2 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.
Bottom Line
Taking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that LTH is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of B. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. On your short list.

NEWS_53 | Investors in Lumen Technologies, Inc. LUMN need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Feb 17, 2023 $1.00 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
What is Implied Volatility?
Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
What do the Analysts Think?
Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Lumen shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Lumen is a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) in the Technology Services industry that ranks in the Bottom 41% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while two analysts have revised their estimates downward. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 15 cents per share to 13 cents in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about Lumen right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.
Looking to Trade Options?
Check out the simple yet high-powered approach that Zacks Executive VP Kevin Matras has used to close recent double and triple-digit winners. In addition to impressive profit potential, these trades can actually reduce your risk.

MIAMI, January 23, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LuxUrban Hotels Inc. (Nasdaq: LUXH) (or "the Company"), which utilizes a long-term lease, asset-light business model to acquire and manage a growing portfolio of short-term rental properties in major metropolitan cities, announced today that internationally renowned artist Bradley Theodore will serve as the Company’s first brand ambassador. The relationship will be built around Theodore’s bold, colorful, and iconic approach to art, and will feature the promotion of his original works through a variety of activities designed to enhance the LuxUrban experience.
"Bradley Theodore is an incredible artist who has collaborated with some of the world’s most recognized and respected brands, and we are thrilled to have this opportunity to incorporate his vision into the LuxUrban experience," said Brian Ferdinand, Chairman and CEO. "In its best and purest form, travel - like art - should be a transcendent experience; it should stir your emotions while affording the time to be still and discover the beauty that resides just below the surface of everyday life. Working with Bradley, we will create an intersection between art and hospitality that provides LuxUrban guests with an unforgettable travel experience."
Theodore is a Turks and Caicos born, New York-based contemporary artist who began his career creating large-format street art and is now internationally renowned for his portraits of prominent figures using his hallmark kaleidoscopic skeletal style. Theodore has exhibited his work in galleries across the world and has collaborated with popular artists and brands on projects for Puma, Moët , Rolls-Royce, LEGO, and Moleskin. He has served as the Official Artist of the U.S. Open, was the subject of an independent film, and created a limited edition of bottles for HAIG Whisky and David Beckham. Additional information can be found at https://www.bradleytheodore.com/.
Theodore will have studio space at certain LuxUrban properties, and it is anticipated that his sculptures and artwork will be displayed in the lobby and select guest rooms of LuxUrban properties in Miami Beach, Los Angeles, and New York City beginning in March 2023. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase pieces by Theodore. There are also plans for Theodore to host an Art Basel event at LuxUrban’s recently acquired Townhouse Hotel in Miami’s South Beach later this year.
"One of my greatest passions is traveling, so being able to share my artwork with LuxUrban’s guests at the Company’s newly acquired high-end properties is exciting," said Theodore. "I’ve chosen to align myself with LuxUrban given their rapid growth in key destination cities and their enthusiasm to incorporate an arts and cultural center experience for their diverse clientele."
