Pavlo Sukharchuk/iStock via Getty Images Executive Summary Qnity Electronics ( Q ) is a materials and solutions company for the semiconductor industry. The company was part of DuPont's electronic division and was spun off in November 2025. The company operates under two core segments: Semiconductor Technologies (ST) & Interconnect Solutions (ICS). The company reported its 2025 full-year earnings on February 26, 2026. The company reported full-year revenue of $4.75 billion (up 10% YoY), and EPS (GAAP) was reported as $3.30. For the fiscal 2026 outlook, the company expects revenue at $4.97 billion - $5.17 billion and adjusted EPS at $3.55 to $3.95. The company expects adjusted free cash flow in the range of $450 million to $500 million. The company is poised to benefit from this current AI data center build-out due to its portfolio of advanced materials essential for chip fabrication. It also benefits from other growth areas in the autonomous driving industry and consumer semiconductor industry (such as smartphones and smartwatches). Currently, the semiconductor industry is in an AI supercycle, and this is reflected in the current surge in DRAM prices. As manufacturers reallocate capacity from traditional (consumer-oriented) DRAM and NAND to high-margin, high-demand HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), that plays directly in favor of companies like Qnity, whose sales are driven by "consumables". I will dig deeper into this "core thesis" in the subsequent sections. The company trades attractively on a 2026 FW P/E basis (~32x) as compared to its peers. Although this seems to be high at first glance, the multiples are lower as compared to its peers. With industry reports suggesting that the memory shortage could last through 2027, offering a compelling reason to own this stock for the foreseeable future. Investment Thesis - Consumables As this is a newly spun-off company, I thought to demystify this company's business model. Qnity has a presence across the end-to-end semiconduct...

A protracted war in the Middle East could lift demand for carbon credits in the compliance market, if ongoing disruptions to LNG supplies compel industries to turn to cheaper, higher-emission fuels. Utilities and other major users may consider switching to coal if LNG remains backed up due to airstrikes and the effective blockage at the Strait of Hormuz, a key transit point, according to Camille Wee , a BloombergNEF analyst. She noted this also happened when the Russia-Ukraine war broke out in 2022 and upended energy markets. Already, some parts of the world are bracing for fuel-switching. Taiwan is considering raising production at coal-fired facilities while Italy is keeping its plants in “cold reserve” as a precaution. Such moves would drive up pollution and may lead to a spike in demand for compliance credits in the future, especially as emissions regulations tighten across the Asia-Pacific, Wee said. Higher gas prices may also incentivize LNG producers to ramp up production, further releasing greenhouse gases, she added. The US-Israeli war against Iran has forced the shutdown of the world’s largest LNG plant in Qatar, a country that churns out 20% of global output. Its suspended production has already unsettled some gas-consuming industries in Asia. “The ultimate impact on compliance markets will depend heavily on the duration of the energy disruption and whether regional regulators intervene to adjust compliance caps,” said Thomas McMahon , co-founder and co-chief executive officer of AirCarbon Exchange. Meanwhile the voluntary market, where companies buy carbon allowances to meet their own climate goals, may see a dip in buying activity, McMahon said. “Any resulting increase in operating costs from an energy crisis might temporarily constrain corporate discretionary spending on voluntary offsets,” he said, adding that firms may reevaluate buying timelines, emissions forecasts and hedging strategies.

(RTTNews) - Indian shares are seen opening deep in the red on Friday as investors weigh the potential impact of a stronger dollar and soaring oil prices on foreign fund flows, inflation and economic growth. The dollar firmed and Treasury yields rose as the West Asia conflict escalated, resulting in a sharp spike in oil and gasoline prices and threatening to set off convulsions in the world economy. As the U.S. and Israel continue military assault against Iran, the latter has launched a fresh wave of missile and drone strikes across the Gulf, with attacks reported in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait. Brent crude, the global energy benchmark, climbed above $85 a barrel on Thursday as the situation across West Asia worsens. U.S. crude futures jumped 8.5 percent to $81.01, its highest price since July 2024 and its biggest one-day jump since 2020 after Iran claimed it struck a U.S. oil tanker in the northern Persian Gulf. As the situation unfolds at a rapid pace, investors are finding it hard to make a firm call on whether the war will last days, weeks, or longer. Benchmark indexes Sensex and Nifty rose over 1 percent each on Thursday, largely due to short covering after recent steep losses. The rupee appreciated by 55 paise to close at 91.60 against the dollar, supported by suspected central bank intervention and a recovery in domestic equity markets. Foreign investors net sold shares worth Rs 3,753 crore on Thursday, while domestic institutional investors net bought shares to the extent of Rs 5,153 crore, according to provisional exchange data. Asian markets were broadly lower this morning as an energy crisis loomed and China set its lowest economic growth target in decades at a key meeting. Gold held steady after falling in the previous session, while the dollar was set for its steeply weekly gain in a year. Oil prices were poised for their biggest jump in three in a turbulent week for global markets. U.S. stocks ended lower overnight as attacks in ...

If you are wondering whether Broadcom's current share price still reflects good value after its long run, or if the easier gains are already behind it, you are not alone in asking that question. Broadcom shares last closed at US$332.77, with returns of 4.1% over 7 days, 8.0% over 30 days, a 4.3% decline year to date, a very strong 72.2% return over the past year, an extremely high 3 year return, and a 5 year return of around 7x. Recent headlines around Broadcom have focused heavily on its role in key chip segments and its position in broader technology supply chains. This has kept investor attention firmly on the stock. This context helps explain why the share price has been so active recently, as the market weighs how those developments could influence long term expectations. On our checks, Broadcom scores 3 out of 6 on valuation, and you can see the breakdown in our . Next we will look at the different methods behind that result and then finish with a broader way to think about what fair value really means for this stock. Approach 1: Broadcom Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model takes estimates of a company’s future cash flows and discounts them back to today using a required return, to arrive at an estimate of what the business might be worth per share right now. For Broadcom, the model used is a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The latest twelve month free cash flow is around $28.94b, and analyst and extrapolated projections suggest free cash flow could reach about $127.21b in 2030. Simply Wall St uses analyst forecasts where available, then extends those forecasts over a longer period using its own assumptions, before discounting all those cash flows back to today in dollar terms. On this basis, the DCF model indicates an estimated intrinsic value of about $339.68 per share. Compared with the recent share price of $332.77, the implied discount is around 2.0%, which points to Broadcom trading very close to this mode...
