Cooling signals from the Fed’s preferred inflation gauges, including the Dallas Fed trimmed mean dropping to 1.4% in June, are giving growth investors a fresh data point to think about. Inflation is still above the Fed’s 2% target on traditional measures and some officials remain hawkish, so the rate path is not yet settled. That mix of softer alternative readings and firm policy talk can matter a lot for growth stocks with strong expansion plans. This article looks at 3 stocks from our...

Corporación América Airports stock has logged a very large 5 year gain while its valuation checks still point to shares that screen as inexpensive on several measures, which raises the question of how much of that performance is already reflected in today’s price. The stock has returned about 370.3% over 5 years, which puts a lot of focus on whether recent fundamentals and expectations justify that kind of long run. Future cash flow growth can support the current share price if margins and...

With the stock posting a...

Merck stock has more than doubled over the past five years, yet the latest valuation checks send a mixed message, with the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) estimate pointing to meaningful upside while market based multiples look closer to in line. Merck has returned 101.7% over 5 years, which puts the current share price in a very different place to where long term holders started. Progress on products such as the once monthly HIV PrEP candidate alimatravir and expanded use of KEYTRUDA can support...

Smithfield Foods stock has gained 17.6% year to date, yet a fresh look at the numbers suggests the market price may still sit below what its cash flows imply. Both the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) intrinsic value estimate and the market multiples currently point to Smithfield Foods trading on the cheap side rather than fully priced. Year to date, Smithfield Foods is up 17.6%, which means recent buyers have already seen a solid return even before considering any valuation gap. The key support...

TransMedics Group stock has more than doubled over the past five years, yet the broader valuation checks still lean cheap, which puts fresh attention on whether the recent pullback has gone too far or not far enough. Over the past five years, TransMedics Group has returned about 150.4% which keeps the long term story attractive even after a weaker recent stretch. Future execution on transplant system adoption can support higher earnings power. However, any slowdown in procedure volumes or...

Charter Communications stock is coming off a steep multi‑year slide, yet the broader valuation checks still suggest the shares lean cheap rather than expensive at current levels. Over the past 5 years the share price has declined about 81%, which puts a heavy focus on whether today’s lower valuation offers compensation for that drawdown. On the fundamental side, investor expectations around broadband subscriber trends and the pending Cox Communications acquisition can support the equity...

Deluxe has delivered a strong 75.2% return over the past year, yet the broader valuation checks still suggest the stock screens as cheap rather than stretched at the current US$25.87 share price. The 75.2% one year gain puts Deluxe among the stronger recent performers. This can raise the bar for what now counts as a reasonable entry price. The recently closed acquisition of Celero Commerce may support expectations for a larger payments platform, while the risk is that integration hurdles or...

Twist Bioscience Corporation recently held a hearing on a proposed US$17,050,000 cash settlement to resolve a securities class action covering purchasers of its common stock between December 20, 2018 and November 15, 2022, as well as participants in its December 2020 offering.

We’ll...

CRISPR Therapeutics has delivered a steep share price decline of about 64.9% over the past 5 years, yet on broad valuation checks the stock now looks closer to fairly valued than like a clear bargain or clear bubble. The roughly 64.9% slide over 5 years highlights how much long term shareholders have given up in returns, which naturally raises the bar for any new investment case. Progress on CRISPR Therapeutics' allogeneic CAR-T programs, including the Phase 1 work on CTX112 aimed at off the...

Next, we will examine how the strong...

In late July 2026, Western Alliance Bancorporation’s board declared a quarterly US$0.42 common dividend and a US$106.25 per share Series A preferred dividend alongside second-quarter results showing higher net interest income and net income than a year earlier.
