JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images I don't see an easy path to a rerating when it comes to shares of Meta Platforms ( META ) anymore. The valuation is very attractive, but it's a reflection of weak sentiment that has persisted for about three quarters now. I believe that the stock will remain undervalued for quite some time, given the adverse macro conditions and the fact that it will take time to justify high CapEx to the market. It's been a while since I last covered the stock. Back on November 28, 2025, I issued a strong buy rating, arguing for an attractive valuation, strong fundamentals, improving technicals, and relative advantages amid macro risks. Since then, the stock price has yet to rise, realizing a meaningful opportunity cost given the market's 11% return. Seeking Alpha At the start of December, META's 50DMA (middle blue line) crossed below the 200DMA (orange line), indicating a shift towards an even more explicitly negative sentiment towards the stock. The short-term moving average has yet to rise back above the longer-term average. Shares are now trading around $630, a far cry from the all-time high of ~$800 back in August. Positioning also reflects the lack of bullish momentum; the shares keep trading below its 200DMA after the negative reaction to Q1 earnings (latest vertical orange line). TrendSpider This brings me to the latest results . The market likely fixated on the FCF pressure and the CapEx guidance instead of the signs that the business remains healthy and reflects efficient AI use so far. I'm saying this because the results were good and have some interesting implications about the risks that the market is being asked to underwrite right now. In the first quarter, revenue reached $56.3 billion, up 33% YoY, but was 6% lower than in the previous quarter; Q4 sequential revenue growth was 16.9% instead. Nevertheless, it beat LSEG estimates of $55.45 billion by approximately $0.86 billion. Moreover, gross margin increased QoQ by 6 bps ...

A labourer works on a construction site near the Amazon India headquarters in Bengaluru on December 29, 2025. Idrees Mohammed | Afp | Getty Images In a quarter partially affected by the economic disruptions from the Middle East conflict, India's economy grew at 7.8% year-on-year in the three months to the end of March, a faster-than-expected pace. As per a Reuters poll , the economy was forecast to grow by 7.2% in Jan-Mar, lower than 7.8% in the previous quarter. In the first half of the quarter, India's trade prospects improved sharply as it finalized a " mother of all deals " with the European Union and managed to get the U.S. to lower tariffs on its goods from 50% to 18%. These were further lowered to 10% after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs as illegal . But then the Iran war began at the end of February, which has since become a severe risk to India's economy and is anticipated to hurt growth and raise inflation. On Friday, India's central bank raised its inflation projection for the financial year ending March 2027 by 50 basis points to 5.1%, while tempering the economy's growth forecast to 6.6% for the year, down from 6.9% projected earlier. Energy supply disruptions caused by the conflict have inflated India's import bill, piling pressure on the rupee that has already been hit by record foreign investor outflows . The world's fastest-growing major economy is expected to feel the pinch of inflation as the government has passed on global fuel price hikes to consumers in May, after holding them off for a couple of months. As of April, inflation remains under the RBI target of 4%, but India is widely expected to face weather-related disruptions due to El Nino this year, which could cause crop shortages and push food prices higher. The Reserve Bank of India on Friday said the policy has turned "cautious" owing to the deteriorating global economic conditions. Choose CNBC as your preferred source on Google and never miss a m...

FabrikaCr Large-cap companies across energy, semiconductors, consumer services, travel, and entertainment are posting some of the strongest growth metrics in the market while still trading at relatively low PEG ratios, highlighting a mix of established names where earnings growth continues to outpace valuation levels. List of large-cap stocks with A+ Growth Grades and low (PEG) ratios features companies spanning industries from artificial intelligence and data storage to airlines and online platforms. Antero Resources ( AR ) tops the list with an A+ Growth Grade and a PEG ratio of just 0.04. Coeur Mining ( CDE ) follows closely behind at 0.05, while GE Vernova ( GEV ) and Western Digital ( WDC ) each post PEG ratios of 0.07. The list includes several major technology and semiconductor companies benefiting from ongoing AI and infrastructure demand trends. Micron Technology ( MU ), NVIDIA ( NVDA ), Vicor ( VICR ), and Western Digital all rank highly based on their growth and valuation metrics. Consumer and service-oriented companies are also represented, including DoorDash ( DASH ), Toast ( TOST ), Reddit ( RDDT ), and TKO Group Holdings ( TKO ). Travel-related names such as Southwest Airlines ( LUV ) and Royal Caribbean Cruises ( RCL ) also appear on the screen. Seeking Alpha’s Growth Grades evaluate companies based on factors including revenue growth, earnings expansion, and broader operating momentum. PEG ratios measure valuation relative to expected earnings growth, with lower figures often viewed as a sign that future growth may not yet be fully reflected in a company’s stock price. Top large-cap stocks by Growth Grade and PEG ratio: Antero Resources ( AR ) - Growth Grade: A+, PEG: 0.04 Coeur Mining ( CDE ) - Growth Grade: A+, PEG: 0.05 DoorDash ( DASH ) - Growth Grade: A+, PEG: 0.45 GE Vernova ( GEV ) - Growth Grade: A+, PEG: 0.07 Southwest Airlines ( LUV ) - Growth Grade: A+, PEG: 0.37 Micron Technology ( MU ) - Growth Grade: A+, PEG: 0.11 NVIDIA ( NVDA ) - Gro...

The FA’s data-driven approach towards the World Cup is into its final stages as Tuchel’s side take on New Zealand “It was hot in ’94,” thundered Alexi Lalas, the former USA defender turned Fox Sports analyst, who starred for his country when they were the sole World Cup hosts that year. “And guess what? It’s going to be hot again this time.” Lalas’s booming address came last December at the draw in Washington DC for this summer’s tournament and, to digress slightly, it was difficult not to fixate on his sheer vocality. Lalas is loud and confident, outspoken and there was the moment when he considered England’s chances at the finals. Notoriously, they failed to qualify 32 years ago. Continue reading...

Welcome to Going Private , I’m Sinead Cruise and Bloomberg’s twice-weekly newsletter about private markets and the forces moving capital away from the public eye. Today, we bring news of an uncomfortable precedent for one of the biggest funds in private credit, signs of increasing unease among private equity investors and the South African real estate boom making local millionaires even richer. But first we look at the bloated war chests causing headaches at gun-shy private capital firms. If you’re not already on our list, sign up here . Have feedback? Email us at goingprivate@bloomberg.net Drowning in cash For private capital firms sitting on as much as $1.3 trillion of unspent fire power , time appears to be running out. Several years after seducing investors with promises of big-ticket deals and rich returns — piles of cash remain idle, triggering crunch talks between fund managers and impatient backers over possible extensions. Managers typically have as much as five years to put money to work before they start to harvest existing investments. Most are only able to increase these investment periods if their investors agree to such a plan. But intense competition, stubborn valuations and a series of macro-geopolitical challenges have starved the $11 trillion private equity and private credit industries of appealing opportunities since 2020, my colleagues Neil Callanan and Leo Kehnscherper write. Some managers might struggle to secure much more time, market participants say, while an unfortunate few could be forced to hand back cash altogether. Andrea Auerbach , global head of private investments at advisory firm Cambridge Associates , says investors are unlikely “to be generous in allowing extensions,” particularly as the dealmaking outlook continues to underwhelm. About $139.4 billion of private equity capital raised in 2021 alone had yet to find a home, PitchBook data shows, despite contractual investment periods nearing an end. Neal Prunier , a managing direct...
