Can UnitedHealth’s New Boss Succeed Where Other ‘Boomerang’ CEOs Failed?

/ / Health Care /

UnitedHealth’s Stephen Hemsley joins a long tradition of former chief executives returning to lead their companies through a crisis. The record of other “boomerang” CEOs suggests he faces a tricky challenge. UnitedHealth tapped its 72-year-old chairman and former CEO to help the health-insurance giant recover from a series of business challenges, including federal investigations and the fallout from the shooting death of a top executive. Hemsley, who led UnitedHealth for more than a decade until 2017, follows other executives in making a repeat run, including Disney’s Bob Iger, Starbucks’s Howard Schultz and UBS’s Sergio Ermotti. Corporate boards bring back former CEOs in difficult times for good reason: They often understand the company inside and out and can capitalize on lingering goodwill and relationships throughout the organization. Many companies believe relying on a tried-and-true leader is a faster path to a turnaround than hiring someone who might need months to get

Alphabet’s Value Could Skyrocket To $3.7 Trillion With Google’s ‘Big Bang Breakup’ Over ‘Isolated Spin-Offs,’ Says Analyst

/ / Technology /

DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria has proposed that Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) should contemplate splitting up Google’s various businesses to enhance its overall value. This recommendation comes amid Google’s struggle to retain its supremacy in the search engine market due to the rise of AI chatbots. What Happened: Luria, in an interview with Yahoo Finance, has expressed that Google’s resistance to a breakup is contributing to its unusually low earnings multiple for a growth company. The U.S. Department of Justice has previously called on Google to divest its Chrome browser and advertising network and potentially its mobile Android division as well. Luria’s clients, a broad spectrum of institutional investors, are pushing for a “big bang breakup” rather than “isolated spinoffs”. Luria suggests that Google should divide its businesses into individually traded entities. According to Luria’s analysis, Google’s individual businesses would be valued much higher as separate entities. While Google’s market capitalization is currently less than

Palantir’s Gravity-Defying Rally Faces Reckoning As Valuation Reaches Danger Zone

/ / Technology /

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:PLTR) has emerged as the brightest star of the S&P 500 over the past year, but its meteoric rise — up 440% in twelve months and 53% year-to-date through May 9 — is now confronting a valuation wall that even the hardest bulls are struggling to justify. Is Palantir Trading At Bubble-Like Valuations: How High Is Too High? With shares closing at $115 on Friday and peaking at a record $125 this week, Palantir is now trading at 500 times trailing twelve-month earnings, an outlier among all companies in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100. That’s nearly triple the valuation of most AI-linked stocks and more than 14 times higher than tech heavyweights like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:MSFT), which trade at price-to-earnings ratios of 37x and 32x, respectively. While many would argue that Palantir is a bet on the future rather than the past, even when factoring in

Netflix Stock Has Been a ‘Tariff Safe Haven.’ That’s About to Change.

/ / Consumer Discretionary /

Netflix stock has been a solid outperformer this year, but concerns about film tariffs have given investors pause. President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he was authorizing the Department of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to begin the process of instituting a 100% tariff on movies coming into the country “that are produced in Foreign Lands.” Citi analyst Jason Bazinet wrote in a research note on Tuesday that Netflix “has been viewed by investors as a ‘safe haven’ with respect to tariffs.” That safe haven is at risk now following Trump’s announcement, and Bazinet wrote the worst case scenario for Netflix would be if the 100% tariff on content produced outside of the U.S. was implemented. “We estimate 50% of content produced by Netflix is created outside the US,” Bazinet wrote. “With a 100% tariff, we estimate this could reduce EPS by around $6 per share.” Bazinet, who rates Netflix

CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Cat Shares

/ / Industrials /

Following CAT’s Q1 earnings release, we trim back our growth assumptions for 2025 and now assume sales of ~$62 billion vs. our previous estimate of $64 billion. We see margins following revenues lower, and now project operating margins slipping to 18% vs. being roughly flat for the full-year. Our 12-month target price has been adjusted to $350 from $390, valuing shares at 17.1x our 2025 EPS outlook, which is in line with CAT’s long-term historical multiple average. End market deceleration has been broad-based, with macro headwinds swiftly contributing to a pullback in customer spending on large machinery and equipment. Given the cyclical nature of CAT’s operations, we see challenges persisting under trade disputes. However, looking beyond a likely challenged 2025, we believe that stabilization and modest recovery from a lower base in 2026 is achievable. Despite the dampened demand environment, shares are trading 20% below their peak hit in early
