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 .

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.

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.

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.

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." Story continues 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.

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.

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.

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / January 23, 2023 / GoDaddy 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. Are you enjoying this series and want to know more about life at GoDaddy? Check out our GoDaddy Life social pages!

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. Advertisement 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?

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.

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.

The Company is a public mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and development of gold assets in the Americas. Through its disciplined acquisition strategy, the Company now controls a diversified portfolio of resource-stage gold and gold-copper projects in Canada, U.S.A., Brazil, Colombia and Peru. The Company also owns more than 21 million shares of Gold Royalty Corp. (NYSE American: GROY). 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.

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.

“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.

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.

By Brad Sorensen, CFA NYSE:GNS 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Story continues Click to see the trades now >> Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

When a single insider purchases stock, it is typically not a major deal. However, when multiple insiders purchase stock, like in Luxfer Holdings PLC's (NYSE:LXFR) instance, it's good news for shareholders. Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether. See our latest analysis for Luxfer Holdings The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Luxfer Holdings The Independent Chairman of the Board Patrick Mullen made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$100k worth of shares at a price of US$16.12 each. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being US$16.02). It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock if insiders have bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price. Luxfer Holdings insiders may have bought shares in the last year, but they didn't sell any. You can see a visual depiction of insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last 12 months, below. If you want to know exactly who sold, for how much, and when, simply click on the graph below! Luxfer Holdings is not the only stock that insiders are buying. For those who like to find winning investments this free list of growing companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket. Luxfer Holdings Insiders Bought Stock Recently We saw some Luxfer Holdings insider buying shares in the last three months. Independent Non-Executive Director Richard Hipple bought US$41k worth of shares in that time. We like it when there are only buyers, and no sellers. But in this case the amount purchased means the recent transaction may not be very meaningful on its own. Story continues Insider Ownership I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. From our data, it seems that Luxfer Holdings insiders own 2.1% of the company, worth about US$9.3m. Overall, this level of ownership isn't that impressive, but it's certainly better than nothing! So What Do The Luxfer Holdings Insider Transactions Indicate? Our data shows a little insider buying, but no selling, in the last three months. That said, the purchases were not large. On a brighter note, the transactions over the last year are encouraging. We'd like to see bigger individual holdings. However, we don't see anything to make us think Luxfer Holdings insiders are doubting the company. While we like knowing what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision. To assist with this, we've discovered 1 warning sign that you should run your eye over to get a better picture of Luxfer Holdings. But note: Luxfer Holdings may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with high ROE and low debt.

When monopoly power is the prize, competition becomes dangerous for both companies and consumers. This was one of several conclusions in a preprint paper published in the National Bureau of Economic Research. Economists from MIT, the University of Hong Kong, and the University of Pennsylvania used a theoretical model to study how firms try to take each other down to become superstar companies that can charge higher prices with less competition. Read more Before companies settle into a peaceful tacit collusion, the economists found, they may engage in predatory pricing wars to push another firm out of the market. These wars have nothing to do with making business better or improving products for customers, and instead are aimed at bankrupting the competition. What follows is a a Q&A with Hui Chen, a finance professor at MIT and one of the paper’s authors. The conversation has been edited for length and clarity. Quartz: What was the impetus for this paper? There are two sets of facts that motivated us to study this phenomenon. The first one is a more macro level: This rise of superstar firms in the US, and to some extent in other countries as well. Industry concentration has risen in the majority of the industries in the US for the last 20 to 30 years. On top of that, there’s also evidence suggesting that these large, superstar firms, they have really long lasting power. This gives them room for what we call collusive competition or implicit collusion. Without entering into explicit collusive agreements, which are illegal, they can economically motivate each other to charge higher prices and enjoy higher profit margins. Implicit collusion until this point has only been studied at a relatively simple static framework. In particular, the interaction of [implicit collusion] with financial conditions of the firm has not been explored before. Story continues The second fact that motivated us was observing some new internet companies competing. The one we like to talk about is competition of mobile bike providers in China. An interesting example is two companies called Mobike and Ofo. These two companies, basically, were trying to grow their market share very aggressively. They would try to price very aggressively on their services—in this case, mobile bikes—and they charge very little. And then they borrow very heavily and try to grab as much market share as possible. The consumers benefit a lot, but [the companies] are putting tremendous competition pressure on each other. Mobike got acquired by a larger internet company, and the other one went bankrupt. In this case there was not any kind of peaceful implicit collusion, but they went after each other as financial trouble started to emerge. They not only didn’t take a step back, but they went even more gung ho and cut prices even more to try to kick their opponent out of the market and after that enjoy more pricing power. That also motivated us. The fact that it’s not just competition, but also predatory price behavior to try to force your competition out of the market. That’s another reason that we thought bringing in the financial risk of these firms into this type of collusive competition was important. So if an industry hasn’t settled into tacit collusion, then firms will try to vie for market influence? These kinds of incentives are driving firms to not compete in a calm way but rather be ultra aggressive. They’re even willing to endure some short term losses in exchange for the higher market share The more calm equilibrium is where major players—think about Uber and Lyft—they enter into more of a calm partnership. They both agree to not go after each other too aggressively and both can live in a relatively stable environment so they don’t have to sacrifice their pricing power too much. When is it more likely for firms to participate in the ultra competitive model versus tacit collusion? Yeah, first of all, economic equilibrium is good for companies but not necessarily good for customers. That’s one thing to clarify. Within the framework of our model, it’s primarily determined by the entry threat. If an incumbent exits the market and a new entrant comes in, do they present a bigger threat than the incumbents who already survived competition? Let’s say that Uber managed to kick out Lyft. For the sake of discussion, let’s also imagine that there are limited licenses that the government is willing to issue for these ride sharing apps. The question then becomes, is the new competitor going to be many times financially stronger than Lyft, or will they be small and non-threatening? That matters a lot. Because if it’s the former, why would I want to kick out Lyft and invite a hundred pound gorilla? I would much rather keep a relatively weak incumbent and that would push me toward being more accommodative with Lyft. In fact, our model shows if Lyft gets in trouble for some kind of idiosyncratic reason, not only would you not see Uber step up competition, but they would actually step back and be more friendly to help Lyft survive the episode. But if they see no entry threat, then the exact opposite would happen. As soon as they see weakness, that could trigger a price war between the two firms. If you’re thinking like the regulator and want to deter this price war and monopoly power, then encouraging the entry of stronger players is going to be good. How can regulators make entry easier? Because our paper didn’t get into the welfare analysis very deeply, I’m only speculating here. If you think about the consumer, in the short run the price wars do benefit customers because they can have low prices, but let’s not be confused about this because in the long run these firms are hoping to become a monopoly. Consumer welfare will suffer in the long run. For that reason, I think the regulators should find ways to discourage these types of price wars. So if there are regulatory hurdles that prevent new entrants, we should try to loosen and maybe even get rid of them. The example we like to think about when presenting this paper is examples where government licenses are limited. Think about telecommunication and other markets where there are limited licenses available for players. Relaxing those restrictions could be helpful. Of course, there are going to be reasons for why there were a limited number of licenses in the first place, so there’s going to be a question of balancing the trade-off there.

We can readily understand why investors are attracted to unprofitable companies. For example, Merrimack Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:MACK) shareholders have done very well over the last year, with the share price soaring by 168%. But while history lauds those rare successes, those that fail are often forgotten; who remembers Pets.com? Given its strong share price performance, we think it's worthwhile for Merrimack Pharmaceuticals shareholders to consider whether its cash burn is concerning. For the purposes of this article, cash burn is the annual rate at which an unprofitable company spends cash to fund its growth; its negative free cash flow. The first step is to compare its cash burn with its cash reserves, to give us its 'cash runway'. See our latest analysis for Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Does Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Have A Long Cash Runway? A cash runway is defined as the length of time it would take a company to run out of money if it kept spending at its current rate of cash burn. In September 2022, Merrimack Pharmaceuticals had US$13m in cash, and was debt-free. In the last year, its cash burn was US$1.5m. Therefore, from September 2022 it had 8.9 years of cash runway. While this is only one measure of its cash burn situation, it certainly gives us the impression that holders have nothing to worry about. Depicted below, you can see how its cash holdings have changed over time. How Is Merrimack Pharmaceuticals' Cash Burn Changing Over Time? Because Merrimack Pharmaceuticals isn't currently generating revenue, we consider it an early-stage business. So while we can't look to sales to understand growth, we can look at how the cash burn is changing to understand how expenditure is trending over time. It seems likely that the business is content with its current spending, as the cash burn rate stayed steady over the last twelve months. Admittedly, we're a bit cautious of Merrimack Pharmaceuticals due to its lack of significant operating revenues. So we'd generally prefer stocks from this list of stocks that have analysts forecasting growth. Can Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Raise More Cash Easily? Even though it has reduced its cash burn recently, shareholders should still consider how easy it would be for Merrimack Pharmaceuticals to raise more cash in the future. Companies can raise capital through either debt or equity. Many companies end up issuing new shares to fund future growth. We can compare a company's cash burn to its market capitalisation to get a sense for how many new shares a company would have to issue to fund one year's operations. Merrimack Pharmaceuticals has a market capitalisation of US$158m and burnt through US$1.5m last year, which is 0.9% of the company's market value. That means it could easily issue a few shares to fund more growth, and might well be in a position to borrow cheaply. Is Merrimack Pharmaceuticals' Cash Burn A Worry? As you can probably tell by now, we're not too worried about Merrimack Pharmaceuticals' cash burn. For example, we think its cash runway suggests that the company is on a good path. On this analysis its cash burn reduction was its weakest feature, but we are not concerned about it. After considering a range of factors in this article, we're pretty relaxed about its cash burn, since the company seems to be in a good position to continue to fund its growth. Readers need to have a sound understanding of business risks before investing in a stock, and we've spotted 2 warning signs for Merrimack Pharmaceuticals that potential shareholders should take into account before putting money into a stock. Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere.

By Rohith Nair, Aadi Nair and Manasi Pathak Jan 23 (Reuters) - Chelsea's record sale last year has proved to the Glazer family that now is the right time to sell Manchester United, industry experts told Reuters, with any deal for the Premier League club having the potential to be the biggest in sporting history. British billionaire and long-time United fan Jim Ratcliffe's company INEOS has entered the bidding process to buy the record 20-times English champions after he failed to acquire Chelsea, who were sold for $5.2 billion in May. United have not won the league in a decade, with the unpopular Glazers the target of several fan protests, but they are still an attractive prospect, according to Neil Joyce, CEO & co-founder of CLV Group. The club is one of the world's biggest sporting brands and generated 689 million euros ($750.94 million) in revenue in 2021-22. "Chelsea getting sold in 2022 means a rate has been established on the value of a Premier League club," Joyce said. "If you use the traditional method of valuing a club, which could be anywhere between eight to 10 times the revenue, that kind of $5 billion number is probably on the lower end of it." The Glazers bought United for 790 million pounds in 2005 in a highly-leveraged deal which has been criticised for loading debt onto the club. NOT 'RATIONAL MARKET' United's net debt grew nearly 23% to 515 million pounds in September, but that will not deter potential investors, according to Joyce and Spencer Harris, Associate Professor of Sport Management at the University of Colorado. "In a rational market, debts of this type would directly influence bids and price," Harris said. "But the Premier League generally and Manchester United specifically do not represent a rational market." The club's valuation as a public company peaked at $4.3 billion in 2018 but Joyce said new owners could capitalise on the global fanbase to increase commercial revenue by $200 million and add $1-2 billion to the actual valuation. Story continues "If you're looking at United as a medium-term investment, I don't think there's that huge risk against the valuation they're at today," he added. "If anything, you could argue they're potentially undervalued if you look at the $5 billion mark." OLD TRAFFORD INVESTMENT The Chelsea deal involved the new owners paying 2.5 billion pounds ($3.10 billion) to purchase shares while committing a further 1.75 billion pounds to invest in the club, particularly the stadium. Tim Bridge, lead partner in Deloitte's Sports Business Group, said United remain a significant asset but require a lot of investment to return to the top of the pyramid, starting with their Old Trafford stadium. The biggest club stadium in England seats around 75,000 fans but is considered a relic compared to modern European arenas. Media reports suggest it would cost one to two billion pounds to renovate. "Compared to other leading clubs, investment into capital projects such as the stadium, the training ground at Carrington and continued investment into the playing squad is very significant," Bridge said. "There is likely a need for any new investor to consider these at United in the future. So it may well be that the Glazers just feel this is the right time (to sell)." United have returned to the top four under new manager Erik ten Hag to give the fans renewed hope of competing in the title race for the first time in years. But Bridge said their resurgence would not help the Glazers drive up the price. "Any credible investor will look at the long-term picture rather than short-term optics," he added. "Should they push forward and qualify for the Champions League, then that gives a significant revenue boost and is something investors will keep a keen eye on."

Jan 23 (Reuters) - Arsenal confirmed they are deadly serious about winning the Premier League title by beating Manchester United 3-2 on Sunday to reach 50 points at the halfway mark of the season - a tally which usually leads to ending the season as champions. The victory, clinched by Eddie Nketiah's stoppage-time strike, saw Arsenal become only the fifth team in Premier League history to hit 50 points from their first 19 games. Three of the previous four teams to hit that milestone went on to lift the crown. Manchester City romped to the title in 2017-18 after taking 55 points in the first half of the season, as did Liverpool in 2019-20, while Chelsea became champions in 2005-06 after hitting 51 points. Only Liverpool in 2018-19 failed to take the title after hitting 51 points from 19 matches, being edged by Manchester City after squandering a seven-point lead. Arsenal have a smaller advantage over City than Liverpool did, leading Pep Guardiola's side by five points, and they have played one game fewer. Arsenal visit City in the FA Cup on Friday before a league showdown between the two teams at the Emirates Stadium on Feb. 15 which could have a huge say in whether the Gunners lift their first Premier League crown in 19 years or are pegged back by City, who have won four of the last five titles. City lost some momentum by losing the derby to Manchester United last weekend but proved they will not easily surrender their crown by storming back from two goals down to beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-2 on Thursday before Sunday's thumping 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Former United midfielder Roy Keane said Arsenal were in the driving seat. "The momentum is with them, there's good experience, youth and pace. They had good options off the bench - they're in a great place," Keane said on Sky Sports. "If you had said at the start of the season they'd be where they are, you wouldn't have believed it. It will take a lot to stop them." Story continues But his old team mate and fellow pundit Gary Neville said City should not be counted out just yet. "They (Arsenal) need to now go on and prove to us that they can win the title, which is going to be really tough. They've still got to play Manchester City twice and they've got them on their shoulders," he said. "They're a massive powerhouse, Manchester City and Pep Guardiola. You can imagine them sitting there tonight not being too fazed by this." (Reporting by Richard Martin Editing by Christian Radnedge)

Daily Spotlight: Higher Rates Spell End to Housing Sector Growth The housing industry was an important contributor to the U.S. economic recovery from the pandemic, but high prices and high interest rates lately have priced millions of prospective homebuyers out of the market. The National Association of Realtors recently reported that existing home sales fell for an eleventh consecutive month in December 2022, totaling 4.0 million at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (down 34% from December 2021). The Commerce Department reported that new one-family homes were selling at a 640,000/year pace in November -- down from 756,000 a year earlier. Meanwhile, a leading indicator for the industry, housing permits, has turned lower as well. According to the Census Bureau, permits were being authorized in December at a 1.3 million annual rate, down 30% from 1.9 million in December 2021. Housing prices are finally starting to cool. The S&P/Case-Shiller National Home Price Index for October 2022 showed that the average price has risen "only" 9.2% year-over-year -- and is down 3% from the peak in June. The high prices and high mortgage rates (the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was recently 6.15%) have made the market unaffordable for buyers, including the millions of Millennials who are starting families. This month, KB Home, a builder in the S&P Midcap index, reported that fourth-quarter home orders were down 80% from the prior year and the cancellation rate jumped to 68% of gross orders (from 13% a year earlier). One bright spot this month is that the National Association of Home Builders reported that builder sentiment rose by four points, to 35, after a string of 12 consecutive monthly declines. While it is too early to tell if this is a turning point, it does seem clear that the housing sector will not be supportive of U.S. economic growth until pricing pressures and mortgage rates ease further.

Simultaneous Use of Masimo O3® Regional Oximetry, NomoLine® Capnography, SedLine® Brain Function Monitoring, and rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry Helped Clinicians Determine that Maintaining Higher End-tidal Carbon Dioxide (EtCO 2 ) Improved Cerebral Oxygenation, Leading to Improved Outcomes NEUCHATEL, Switzerland, January 23, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) today announced the findings of a prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled study published in the Journal of Anesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine in which Dr. Mona Mohamed Mogahed and colleagues at Tanta University in Tanta, Egypt and The King Fahd General Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, sought to evaluate the impact of varying ventilation strategies on the cerebral oxygenation of patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). To monitor the variety of physiological parameters needed to undertake such an evaluation, they turned to the multi-modal Masimo Root® patient monitoring and connectivity platform, which is designed to allow clinicians to streamline their ability to keep track of numerous modalities, simultaneously, using a single, intuitive monitor. The technologies involved included O3® regional oximetry, capnography with NomoLine® sampling lines, SedLine® brain function monitoring, and multiple rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry measurements. Using Root and Masimo monitoring technologies, the researchers were able to determine that maintaining higher end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO 2 ) improved baseline regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO 2 ), with impacts on early postoperative cognitive function that included improvements in Aldrete scores and mini mental status exam (MMSE) scores.1 This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230122005047/en/ Masimo Root® (Graphic: Business Wire) Noting the increased risk of hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation (OLV) as part of VATS, which can lead to postoperative neurocognitive dysfunctions, the authors hypothesized that increasing EtCO 2 could be a "convenient and powerful" way to manage cerebral desaturation during the surgery. They enrolled 70 patients, ages 18-65, undergoing elective VATS requiring OLV, between September 2021 and September 2022 at The King Fahd General Hospital, Jeddah. All patients were operated on by the same surgical team. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: in the first, EtCO 2 was maintained at 32-38 mmHg (group I) and in the second, at 39-45 mmHg (group II). During the procedure, monitored parameters included oxygen saturation (Masimo SET® SpO 2 ), heart rate (HR), and noninvasive hemoglobin (Masimo SpHb®) via an RD rainbow SET® fingertip sensor; EtCO 2 via capnometer and NomoLine sampling line; noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP), body temperature, and rSO 2 via O3 near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) sensors monitoring both brain hemispheres; and Masimo Patient State Index (PSi™), a processed EEG parameter used to help clinicians maintain appropriate sedation, via SedLine. Outcomes included Aldrete scores and MMSE scores assessed at 3 and 24 hours after surgery. Story continues The researchers found that the percentage of change in rSO 2 differed significantly between groups (p < 0.05), on both sides of the brain, with the higher values, over time, in Group II, in direct relation with the higher EtCO 2 maintained in that group. In the right hemisphere, the difference became significant at the fourth time interval [T4] at which rSO 2 was recorded, p = 0.0012, and maintained significance for the remainder of surgery [T4-T13], p < 0.001. In the left hemisphere, the difference became significant at T2, p = 0.09, and remained significant [T3-13], p < 0.001. Aldrete scores were significantly higher in Group II upon arrival at the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) (p = 0.013) and 15 minutes after arrival (p = 0.03), then became comparable. MMSE scores were significantly higher in Group II 3 hours after surgery (p = 0.0009), but not at 24 hours after surgery. The researchers concluded, "Adjusting the ventilator parameters to develop EtCO 2 of 39-45 mmHg improved cerebral oxygenation more than EtCO 2 of 32-38 mmHg, that play[s] a protective role in the brain, causing significant impact on the early postoperative cognitive function in patients with OLV undergoing VATS." Regarding the use of Masimo Root and associated monitoring technologies, they noted that they "preferred using it as it can display several clinical measurements [at] the same time, such as HR, BP, temperature, SpO 2 , EtCO 2 , PSi, and rSO 2 ." @Masimo | #Masimo About Masimo Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) is a global medical technology company that develops and produces a wide array of industry-leading monitoring technologies, including innovative measurements, sensors, patient monitors, and automation and connectivity solutions.

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 Maxar Technologies Inc. (NYSE:MAXR) and explained its insights for the company. Founded in 2017, Maxar Technologies Inc. (NYSE:MAXR) is a Westminster, Colorado-based space technology company with a $3.8 billion market capitalization. Maxar Technologies Inc.

Here is what White Falcon Capital Management has to say about Maxar Technologies Inc. (NYSE:MAXR) in its Q3 2022 investor letter: "Half of the portfolio had positive realized and unrealized gains for the year. Out of these, EPAM Systems and Maxar were the largest positive contributors to performance. In addition, our weight in the commodity sector, including the precious metals hedge, produced substantial positive returns. Maxar Technologies provides satellite images to the defense and corporate sector. The company was going to launch its new and improved Legion satellites but was faced with delays due to which investors lost patience and sold the stock. We saw a good quality company beset by temporary delays with strong FCF available for less than 10x EBITDA and bought the stock at an average price of C$35 per share. In December, Advent, a Private Equity firm, announced that they are going to buy-out Maxar and take it private at above C$70 per share. We sold our position and redeployed the cash into other attractive opportunities." Story continues Aerospace Our calculations show that Maxar Technologies Inc.

Noninterest Income Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $1.8 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 64.8%, from the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower mortgage loan fees, lower gains on sale of Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans and a significant decrease in SBA servicing income. Mortgage loan originations totaled $88.0 million during the fourth quarter 2022 compared to $255.7 million during the third quarter of 2022.

Compared to the same period in 2021, noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased by $5.7 million, or 76.1%, primarily due to much lower gains on sale of SBA loans, mortgage loan fees and mortgage and SBA servicing income. Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $19.2 million, a decrease of $14.6 million, or 43.2%, from the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to lower mortgage loan fees from lower volume, gains on sale of SBA loans and SBA servicing income, offset by increases in gains on sale of mortgage loans, service charges on deposit accounts and other income. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, we elected to stop selling the guaranteed portion of our SBA loans since the sales premiums offered by third party investors had significantly declined compared to prior year. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $137.8 million of the $299.3 million of SBA loan balances outstanding on our books had SBA guarantees. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we also recorded a $3.1 million fair value adjustment charge on our SBA servicing asset compared to a $619,000 fair value gain during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $12.4 million, a decrease of $309,000, or 2.4%, from $12.7 million for the third quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower commissions from lower loan volume and lower loan and other real estate owned related expenses, partially offset by higher employee salaries and benefits. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, noninterest expense during the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased by $133,000, or 1.1%, primarily due to lower commissions, FDIC deposit insurance premiums, and loan related expenses, partially offset by higher employee salaries and benefits. Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $50.4 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 4.0%, from $48.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to higher employee salaries and benefits, FDIC deposit insurance premiums, professional fees, communication expenses and fair value losses on our equity investments, offset by lower commissions due to lower loan volume, occupancy and equipment expenses, and loan and other real estate owned related expenses. The Company's efficiency ratio was 40.3% for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to 36.4% and 33.7% for the third quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021, respectively.

The elevated effective tax rate during the fourth quarter of 2022, as well as the year ended December 31, 2022, was due to the re-allocation of state income tax apportionment schedules for prior year's tax returns.

Airspan 6-series integrates with Federated Wireless AFC to bring game-changing range, speed, capacity and automation to shared spectrum Wi-Fi 6E deployments BOCA RATON, Fla. & ARLINGTON, Va., January 23, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Airspan Networks Inc., a subsidiary of Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. (NYSE American: MIMO), a U.S.-based provider of ground-breaking, disruptive software and hardware for mobile and fixed wireless network operators, has today announced its selection of Federated Wireless, private wireless and shared spectrum leader, as Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) service provider for Airspan’s new Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) 6-series line of products: A6, C6x and B6x. AFC forms a critical component of the new Wi-Fi 6E ecosystem, particularly for the outdoor, standard-power access point segment that Airspan’s 6-series addresses. AFC shields incumbent 6 GHz operations from RF interference by checking a database of registered users to ensure that new wireless devices do not impact existing users. By using the AFC service, Wi-Fi 6E access points are permitted to transmit high power levels, referred to as "standard power," thereby covering more area and affording FWA network providers greater performance and efficiency. Airspan will test and fully integrate Federated Wireless’ AFC into the Airspan 6 series product line. This will enable a fully automated and zero-touch process to deploy these new, higher power radios in the Wi-Fi 6E spectrum, simplifying the deployment process for network providers. The new Airspan 6-series line of products together with AFC change the game for the FWA market. 6 Gbps aggregated speeds, interference cancelation with noise immunity, auto channel/auto power/rate adaptation and GPS Auto Synch to support adjacent and overlapping channels are a few of the best-in-class features that combine to realize the A6, C6x, and B6x mission of providing cost-effective "wireless-fiber" solutions. "Our relationship with Federated Wireless has advanced CBRS SAS service innovation," said Henrik Smith-Petersen, chief sales & marketing officer at Airspan. "The Federated Wireless AFC service is best-of-breed in the market; for us it was a natural step to partner with them again. Our new 6-series product line is fully integrated with Federated Wireless’ AFC which further simplifies and accelerates deployment of FWA services in the new Wi-Fi 6E spectrum." Federated Wireless has been conditionally approved as an AFC system operator by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Their history of providing a leading Spectrum Access System (SAS) for CBRS mid-band clients enabled this natural extension into 6 GHz spectrum management. "The AFC service ecosystem and marketplace is expanding at a rapid pace, and we are thrilled to be at the nexus of that evolution with market leaders like Airspan," said Chris Swan, chief commercial officer for Federated Wireless. "The integration of our AFC with Airspan’s 6-series offers fast and easy deployment of high power, high-performance wireless systems from pioneers and leaders in the wireless industry." About Airspan Airspan Networks Holdings Inc. (NYSE American: MIMO) is a U.S.-based provider of groundbreaking, disruptive software and hardware for 5G networks, and a pioneer in end-to-end Open RAN solutions that provide interoperability with other vendors. As a result of innovative technology and significant R&D investments to build and expand 5G solutions, Airspan believes it is well-positioned with 5G indoor and outdoor, Open RAN, private networks for enterprise customers and industrial use applications, fixed wireless access (FWA), and CBRS solutions to help mobile network operators of all sizes deploy their networks of the future, today. With over one million cells shipped to 1,000 customers in more than 100 countries, Airspan has global scale. For more information, visit www.airspan.com.

Barnwell Industries, Inc. Agrees to Reconstitute Its Board and Extend Standstill Agreement HONOLULU, Jan. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barnwell Industries, Inc. (NYSE-American: BRN) (“Barnwell” or the “Company”) announce today that it has entered into a cooperation and support agreement (the “Agreement”) with its two largest stockholders, Alexander C. Kinzler, who beneficially owns approximately 9.3% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, and MRMP-Managers LLC, Ned L. Sherwood Revocable Trust, and Ned L. Sherwood (collectively, the “MRMP Stockholders”), who beneficially own approximately 19.6% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Agreement extends for two years the standstill terms of the previous agreement entered into with the MRMP Stockholders in 2021, ending the potential of a proxy contest at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, among other things, the Company has agreed to promptly appoint Joshua S. Horowitz and Laurance Narbut to serve on its Board of Directors (the “Board”), subject to certain customary board procedures. The Board has determined that each of Mr. Horowitz and Narbut are independent under applicable NYSE rules and regulations. Mr. Horowitz is a Portfolio Manager at Palm Management (US) LLC. He has held senior positions at Inverlochy Capital, an asset management firm, and Berggruen Holdings, the family office of Nicolas Berggruen. He began his career at Crossway Partners, a value strategy investment partnership. Mr. Horowitz holds a BS in Management, magna cum laude, from Binghamton University and also studied at the Bath School of Management in the United Kingdom. Mr. Horowitz previously served as a Director of The Lincoln General Insurance Company (private), as well as 1347 Capital Corp (Nasdaq: TFSC), and is currently a Director and Chair of the Finance Committee of Limbach Holdings (Nasdaq: LMB), a $500m mechanical engineering concern. He was formerly on the Board of 1347 Property Insurance Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: PIH) and Minim, Inc. (Nasdaq: MINM), and Interim Chairman of the Board of Birner Dental Management Services, Inc. (OTC: BDMS), where he led the Company’s sale to Mid Atlantic Dental Partners. Mr. Horowitz also was a Board Observer at Biomerica, Inc. (Nasdaq: BMRA). Story continues Mr. Narbut is the founder and Managing Partner of Acceleration Resources. Mr. Narbut has held senior positions at Passport Capital, Richmond Financial, SUN Capital Partners, Credit Suisse First Boston, and Parthenon Group. At Passport Capital, Mr. Narbut was a portfolio manager for the energy strategy, investing across multiple funds and focused on upstream oil & gas and energy service investments. Mr. Narbut attended Harvard Business School and the University of Pennsylvania Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company has agreed to nominate Mr. Kinzler, Barnwell’s CEO and President, Kenneth Grossman, Douglas Woodrum, and Messrs. Horowitz and Narbut as candidates for election to the Board at the 2023 Annual Meeting and the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”) and Mr. Kinzler and the MRMP Stockholders have agreed to vote their respective shares of common stock of the Company in favor of the election of the Company’s slate at the 2023 Annual Meeting and 2024 Annual Meeting. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company also has terminated the previously enacted Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, although the MRMP Stockholders have agreed to limit their beneficial and economic ownership of the Company to 28% of the outstanding common stock of the Company for the next 12 months and 30% for the subsequent 12-month period. Mr. Grossman, the newly appointed Chairman of the Board, said, “We are gratified to have found common ground and alignment with our two largest stockholders to avoid the distraction and cost of another proxy contest. In addition to demonstrating the commitment of the incoming Board to act in the long-term interests of all stockholders, I believe this extension of the previous cooperation and support agreement continues the significant progress the Company has made over the past several years toward strengthening and streamlining its governance and operations.” Mr. Sherwood said “I am pleased that agreement has been reached. I am positive that the prospective new Board members along with the remaining members will add new dynamism and excellent leadership in the future. Eliminating the significant distractions and overhead costs related to our past discord should benefit the Company and all stockholders.” Additional Information. Barnwell intends to file a proxy statement and proxy card with United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with its solicitation of proxies for its 2023 Annual Meeting.

Conversations with people in retail indicate the Shopify Plus platform is likely to be used more widely this year, according to Deutsche Bank. Dreamstime This could be the toughest year for enterprise software companies in a long time, Deutsche Bank analyst Brad Zelnick said, cutting his ratings on a slew of stocks. “We expect 2023 to be another volatile year for software stocks with investors seeking confirmation of a bottom as fundamentals likely deteriorate further,” Zelnick wrote in a research note on Monday. “This is the most difficult outlook piece we’ve written in our combined decades covering the sector. With the weightiness of macro factors, more dimensions to the analysis and a wider range of outcomes, we struggle to have conviction near-term, though ironically, we couldn’t be more resolute in our thinking about the long term.”

PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CytoSorbents Corporation (NASDAQ: CTSO), a leader in the treatment of life-threatening conditions in the intensive care unit and cardiac surgery using blood purification via its proprietary polymer adsorption technology, announced that it has received regulatory approval from Health Canada allowing inclusion of Canadian sites into the pivotal Safe and Timely Antithrombotic Removal – Ticagrelor (STAR-T) randomized, controlled trial. CytoSorbents Corporation (NASDAQ: CTSO) is a leader in the treatment of life-threatening conditions using blood purification. CytoSorbents’ flagship product, CytoSorb®, is approved in the European Union and distributed in over 70 countries worldwide. CytoSorbents is conducting trials to support FDA marketing approval of DrugSorb™-ATR for antithrombotic drug removal during cardiothoracic surgery. (PRNewsfoto/CytoSorbents Corporation) Health Canada Approval to Expand STAR-T Pivotal Trial to Canadian Sites Expected to Accelerate Completion of Study Richard Whitlock, M.D., Ph.D., FRCSC, Professor of Surgery at McMaster University Medical School and the Population Health Research Institute, Canada Research Chair in Cardiovascular Surgery and Canada Principal Investigator for the STAR-T trial stated, "Canadian cardiac surgery centers are excited to join the STAR-T trial. Ticagrelor is a potent antiplatelet agent with strong evidence of clinical benefit in acute coronary syndromes and is commonly used in the Canadian system. However, managing patients on ticagrelor when they need urgent cardiac surgery is challenging because of the increased bleeding risk. STAR-T will provide definitive evidence whether the DrugSorb-ATR system can effectively remove ticagrelor during surgery and improve clinical outcomes by reducing bleeding. The Population Health Research Institute has successfully completed several of the largest randomized trials in cardiac surgery and will coordinate the STAR-T trial in several of their most successful collaborating sites in Canada. These centers will provide high volume recruitment with high quality data to help answer this important question in a timely manner. Canada is excited to begin recruitment in the pivotal STAR-T trial." Dr. Efthymios N. Deliargyris, Chief Medical Officer of CytoSorbents commented, "We are very pleased to receive regulatory approval to expand STAR-T into Canada and are now working closely with our partners at the Population Health Research Institute to onboard up to 7 Canadian sites as soon as possible. We anticipate these high performing sites will contribute meaningfully to study enrollment and help us execute on our stated goals of reaching the next milestones of 80 enrolled patients this Spring and full enrollment of 120 patients by Summer 2023." Story continues About CytoSorbents Corporation (NASDAQ: CTSO) CytoSorbents Corporation is a leader in the treatment of life-threatening conditions in the intensive care unit and in cardiac surgery through blood purification. Its lead product, CytoSorb®, is approved in the European Union and distributed in 75 countries worldwide. It is an extracorporeal cytokine adsorber that reduces "cytokine storm" or "cytokine release syndrome" in common critical illnesses that can lead to massive inflammation, organ failure and patient death. In these diseases, the risk of death can be extremely high, and there are few, if any, effective treatments. CytoSorb is also used during and after cardiothoracic surgery to remove inflammatory mediators that can lead to postoperative complications, including multiple organ failure. As of September 30, 2022, more than 186,000 CytoSorb devices have been used cumulatively. CytoSorb was originally launched in the European Union under CE mark as the first cytokine adsorber. Additional CE mark extensions were granted for bilirubin and myoglobin removal in clinical conditions such as liver disease and trauma, respectively, and for ticagrelor and rivaroxaban removal in cardiothoracic surgery procedures. CytoSorb has also received FDA Emergency Use Authorization in the United States for use in adult critically ill COVID-19 patients with impending or confirmed respiratory failure. The DrugSorb™-ATR antithrombotic removal system, based on the same polymer technology as CytoSorb, also received two FDA Breakthrough Device Designations, one for the removal of ticagrelor and another for the removal of the direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) apixaban and rivaroxaban in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit during urgent cardiothoracic procedures. The Company is currently conducting the FDA-approved, randomized, controlled STAR-T (Safe and Timely Antithrombotic Removal-Ticagrelor) study of 120 patients at approximately 30 centers in U.S. and Canada to evaluate whether intraoperative use of DrugSorb-ATR can reduce the perioperative risk of bleeding in patients receiving ticagrelor and undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. This pivotal study is intended to support FDA and Health Canada marketing approval in the United States and Canada, respectively, for DrugSorb-ATR in this application. CytoSorbents' purification technologies are based on biocompatible, highly porous polymer beads that can actively remove toxic substances from blood and other bodily fluids by pore capture and surface adsorption. Its technologies have received non-dilutive grant, contract, and other funding of approximately $48 million from DARPA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), Air Force Material Command (USAF/AFMC), and others. The Company has numerous marketed products and products under development based upon this unique blood purification technology protected by many issued U.S. and international patents and registered trademarks, and multiple patent applications pending, including ECOS-300CY®, CytoSorb-XL™, HemoDefend-RBC™, HemoDefend-BGA™, VetResQ®, K+ontrol™, DrugSorb™, DrugSorb™-ATR, ContrastSorb, and others.

Does the January share price for Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CVCO) reflect what it's really worth? Today, we will estimate the stock's intrinsic value by taking the forecast future cash flows of the company and discounting them back to today's 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. If you want to learn more about discounted cash flow, the rationale behind this calculation can be read in detail in the Simply Wall St analysis model. See our latest analysis for Cavco Industries Is Cavco Industries Fairly Valued? We're using the 2-stage growth model, which simply means we take in account two stages of company's growth. In the initial period the company may have a higher growth rate and the second stage is usually assumed to have a stable growth rate. To start off with, we need to estimate 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) estimate 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 Levered FCF ($, Millions) US$209.8m US$197.8m US$202.4m US$206.9m US$211.4m US$215.8m US$220.2m US$224.7m US$229.3m US$233.9m Growth Rate Estimate Source Analyst x1 Analyst x1 Est @ 2.33% Est @ 2.22% Est @ 2.15% Est @ 2.10% Est @ 2.06% Est @ 2.04% Est @ 2.02% Est @ 2.01% Present Value ($, Millions) Discounted @ 8.4% US$193 US$168 US$159 US$150 US$141 US$133 US$125 US$118 US$111 US$104 ("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St) Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = US$1.4b Story continues The second stage is also known as Terminal Value, this is the business's cash flow after 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$234m× (1 + 2.0%) ÷ (8.4%– 2.0%) = US$3.7b Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= US$3.7b÷ ( 1 + 8.4%)10= US$1.6b 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$3.0b. The last step is to then divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Compared to the current share price of US$258, the company appears a touch undervalued at a 25% discount to where the stock price trades currently. Remember though, that this is just an approximate valuation, and like any complex formula - garbage in, garbage out. dcf The 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 Cavco Industries 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 1.073. 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 Cavco Industries Strength Earnings growth over the past year exceeded the industry. Debt is not viewed as a risk. Weakness No major weaknesses identified for CVCO. Opportunity Trading below our estimate of fair value by more than 20%. Threat Annual earnings are forecast to decline for the next 2 years. Looking Ahead: Although the valuation of a company is important, it 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. Preferably you'd apply different cases and assumptions and see how they would impact the company's valuation. For instance, if the terminal value growth rate is adjusted slightly, it can dramatically alter the overall result. What is the reason for the share price sitting below the intrinsic value? For Cavco Industries, we've put together three further factors you should further examine: Risks: For example, we've discovered 1 warning sign for Cavco Industries that you should be aware of before investing here.

By Nia Williams and Steve Scherer Ottawa, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The chief executive of Cenovus Energy, which is part of alliance of Canada's biggest oil sands producers, on Monday said friction between the federal and Alberta governments was making it more difficult to hold meaningful discussions on funding carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology needed to decarbonize the oil and gas sector. The Pathways Alliance, a collaboration between Canada's six largest oil sands producers targeting net-zero emissions by 2050, is planning to develop a CCS hub in northern Alberta, expected to cost C$16.5 billion ($12.3 billion) by 2030. The group wants public money to fund 66%, or roughly $10.9 billion, of that. So far the federal government has unveiled an investment tax credit worth C$2.6 billion over the next five years, but both Ottawa and Alberta say the other should contribute more. "It's very hard to have meaningful discussions with another party when you're lobbing rocks at each other," Alex Pourbaix, CEO of Pathways member Cenovus Energy, told Reuters in an interview. "I would like to see the temperature turned down a little bit." (Reporting by Nia Williams Editing by Marguerita Choy)

(Adds details, quote from Pathways executive) By Nia Williams and Steve Scherer Ottawa, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The chief executive of Cenovus Energy, which is part of an alliance of Canada's biggest oil sands producers, on Monday said friction between the federal and Alberta governments was making it difficult to hold meaningful discussions on funding carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology needed to decarbonize the oil and gas sector. The Pathways Alliance, a collaboration between Canada's six largest oil sands producers targeting net-zero emissions by 2050, is planning to develop a CCS hub in northern Alberta, expected to cost C$16.5 billion ($12.3 billion) by 2030. The group wants public money to fund 66%, or roughly C$10.9 billion, of that and says government support would speed up decarbonisation and help establish a competitive clean-tech industry in Canada. So far the federal government has unveiled an investment tax credit worth C$2.6 billion over the next five years, but both Ottawa and Alberta say the other should contribute more. Alberta's conservative Premier Danielle Smith is a vocal critic of Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and has slammed many aspects of federal climate policy, accusing Ottawa of trying to cripple the western province's energy sector. Trudeau told Reuters in an interview earlier this month the sooner Alberta's "political class" understood the future is not to be feared, the better. "It's very hard to have meaningful discussions with another party when you're lobbing rocks at each other," Alex Pourbaix, chief executive of Pathways member Cenovus, told Reuters in an interview. "I would like to see the temperature turned down a little bit." Pourbaix said there still needs to be a "significant discussion" between the federal and provincial governments and industry, and Pathways has set a target for that to happen early this year. Story continues "I've had both levels of government telling me that they're supportive of doing that and engaging on that. I think it has not occurred yet to the level it needs to resolve the differences that the groups may have," he added. Canada is the world's fourth-largest producer of crude, most of which comes from Alberta's oil sands. The oil and gas sector is the country's highest-polluting industry and needs to drastically cut emissions if Canada is to achieve its international climate commitments. The Pathways Alliance has already said Ottawa's goal of cutting oil and gas emissions 42% by 2030, equivalent to a 35-megatonne reduction, is impossible. The group could achieve a 22-megatonne reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, said Pathways President Kendall Dilling, but that depends on key components like public funding being agreed and a smooth regulatory approval process for the CCS project. "We don't have time to slip," Dilling said. "Canada's track record on major infrastructure development in the last decade has been abysmal," Dilling said. " If we run into those same kind of troubles, then 2030 will not be realized."
