Recent comments from VanEck’s Matthew Sigel have put MARA Holdings (MARA) under the microscope, arguing the stock trades at a premium to its underlying bitcoin once sizeable convertible debt is properly accounted for. See our latest analysis for MARA Holdings. That debate lands at a time when MARA’s 1 month share price return of minus 26.02 percent and year to date share price return of minus 31.78 percent point to fading momentum, even though its 3 year total shareholder return of 134.80...

See our latest analysis for Dorchester Minerals. That steep year to date share price slide to around $22.99 looks more like a reset in sentiment than a broken story, especially given the partnership’s solid 5 year total shareholder return. This suggests long term momentum is still intact even as...

Targa Resources (TRGP) has been quietly grinding higher, with the stock up about 5% over the past month and 13% in the past 3 months, outpacing many midstream peers. See our latest analysis for Targa Resources. Zooming out, the recent 3 month share price return of 12.6 percent sits against a mildly negative year to date share price return and a still exceptional 3 year total shareholder return of about 182 percent.

See our latest analysis for Cinemark Holdings. The latest pullback, with a 1 month share price return of minus 23.2 percent and year to date share price return of minus 29.1 percent at 21.95 dollars, contrasts with Cinemark’s still robust 3 year total shareholder return of 82.1 percent.
