Welltower (WELL) Stock Slips As Raised FFO Outlook Fails To Impress

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. Management lifted the full year normalized funds from operations midpoint to US$6.40 per share. That is the emotional fault line. A stock that has rallied strongly over the past quarter is meeting a guidance raise that looks solid rather than...

Repligen (RGEN) Stock Faces A Margin Puzzle After Revenue Growth

Repligen stock was up more than 28% over the past three months coming into this report. Today it slipped about 2% in midday trade.

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.

The stock is down 37.1% over three years, which puts the recent strength in a very different light compared with the longer...

Upbound Group (UPBD) Stock Looks At A Discount Even As Returns Stay Weak

Upbound Group stock has risen 24.4% year to date and sits around US$21.59 after a long stretch of weaker returns. This raises the question of whether the current share price still reflects a discount suggested by its valuation checks. Over the last 5 years, Upbound Group shares have declined 51.5%. Long term holders are still working through a deep drawdown that can influence how attractive any apparent discount looks. Future valuation may hinge on whether the company can convert revenue...
