Over 5 years IMAX has returned 261.7%, which puts extra focus on whether recent gains are already pricing in much of the long term opportunity. The recent record IMAX performance for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" in China can support expectations for premium format...

CI&T stock barely flinched after Q2, slipping just 0.6% to US$3.62, even as the company posted another quarter of double digit organic revenue growth and lifted full year guidance. Short term traders saw a flat tape. Long term investors saw a business leaning harder into artificial intelligence deployment and value based contracts while accepting near term margin pressure.

NeuroPace stock slipped about 3% to US$14.56 after its Q2 print, which may feel jarring given the company came into earnings with a modest gain over the past week but pressure over the past month. The headline is still about a business in loss making mode. Q1 basic earnings per share were a loss of US$0.20 on revenue of US$22.07m, and the trailing twelve months show US$99.53m in sales with ongoing losses. The real question now is how that loss profile fits against the multi year earnings and...

Sanara MedTech stock barely moved after the earnings release, slipping just 0.2% to about $34.30. For a company that has recently turned profitable and carries rich expectations, that is a surprisingly calm reaction. The headline is simple. The medical equipment business is now posting positive earnings from continuing operations over the last year while revenue sits above $100m on a trailing basis. The short term verdict from the market is muted. The real question is whether that new...

SES AI stock closed up about 2% today, a modest bounce for a company that has been under pressure in recent months.

Ryman Hospitality Properties has nearly doubled investors' money over the past five years, yet the current valuation checks send a more muted signal that sits between clear bargain and clear stretch.

With the July CPI report expected to show only modest inflation and Treasury yields sitting near 4.68% on the 10 year, the bond market is quietly setting the stage for a bigger story in short duration investment grade funds. If inflation surprises, interest rate expectations could shift quickly, which tends to matter a lot for these lower risk corners of the market. This article walks through 3 stocks from the screener that look especially exposed to this macro swing and explains why their...

PagSeguro Digital came into this earnings print with a stock that has been drifting lower, down about 3% over the past three months, and the market clipped another 1.9% off the share price today. That reaction sits awkwardly against the core headline. The company posted recurring non GAAP net income of R$576 million in the quarter and an annualized non GAAP return on equity of 15.6%. For a Brazilian fintech built on payments, deposits and credit, profitability rather than raw top line growth...
