Eversource Energy comes into focus today with a mixed valuation picture. Over the past three years the stock has produced a total return that many utility investors would consider respectable, yet the intrinsic value work points to a premium while market based multiples lean the other way.

Li Auto came into this print on the back foot, with the stock down about 19% over the past three months, yet the immediate reaction was a muted 0.3% gain to US$12.18.

The tension for investors now is simple. The share price just took a pause on...

Global Partners stock has delivered a very strong 5 year return, yet current valuation checks still suggest the shares screen as inexpensive on several measures. For investors, the question is how to weigh that longer term performance against signals that the market may still be applying a relatively low bar to the company.
