Future...

Viking Therapeutics has delivered a very large 5 year return for shareholders, yet at around US$33.86 per share today the stock still screens as expensive on Simply Wall St's valuation checks.

Over 5 years, the stock has returned roughly 5.3x an initial investment, which sets a high bar for any further upside based on fundamentals. The recently announced July cash distribution and the proposed business combination involving SoftVest and Blackbeard Holdings...

The market is shaving about 1% off Welltower today, even though the quarter is built around one clear story. Normalized funds from operations, the key cash flow yardstick for a real estate investment trust, landed at US$1.60 per diluted share.

A stock that has rallied strongly over the past quarter is meeting a guidance raise that looks solid rather than...

Adjusted gross margin expanded to roughly 53.9% and adjusted operating margin moved to 16.7%, pointing to margin strength rather than strain. If you own Repligen you are not trading a missed quarter.
