Primoris (PRIM) Stock Sinks As Renewables Missteps Crush Margins

Primoris Services came into this earnings release riding a mixed tape, with the stock up over the past week but down about 23% over the past three months. The immediate verdict was harsh.

Western Digital (WDC) Stock Could Be 49% Undervalued After Weak Guidance

Western Digital stock has had a very strong three year run, yet current valuation checks still suggest the market price sits well below an intrinsic value estimate based on a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach and on earnings multiples.
