Galaxy Digital has just delivered a very large 3 year return, while the share price over the past year has declined and the valuation checks point to a mixed picture rather than a clear bargain or clear overvaluation. Galaxy Digital has returned roughly 7x over 3 years, which puts recent share price weakness in a very different context for anyone looking at longer holding periods. Progress in crypto infrastructure partnerships, such as the recently announced role providing trading and...

Bristol-Myers Squibb stock has delivered a 40.6% 1 year return, while both its Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) intrinsic value estimate and market multiples currently point to the shares trading at a discount to what the business may be worth.

This article unpacks the tariff story and highlights three stocks exposed to these refunds that investors may want to keep on their radar. The sample stocks covered below are just a...

Crinetics Pharmaceuticals has delivered a very strong share price run over the past three years, yet its current valuation screens as expensive on market multiples and the broader checks only give it a mixed score.
