Acushnet Holdings (GOLF) is under renewed scrutiny after a recent pullback, with the share price down about 9% over the past month and roughly 24% over the past 3 months.

This suggests that recent weakness reflects shifting sentiment on near term risks rather...

Arthur J. Gallagher has given long term shareholders a 67.0% gain over the past 5 years, even though the share price has fallen over the past year. That track record puts the spotlight on a simple question for today’s buyers and holders: whether the current valuation can be explained by the returns the business earns on its capital.

Honeywell Aerospace shares have climbed recently after a weak start to the year, which puts fresh attention on whether the current market price lines up with what the business can generate in cash over time.
