Iuliia Antonova/iStock via Getty Images Thesis New Fortress Energy ( NFE ) owns attractive infrastructure assets with long-duration contractual cash flows; however, I do not view the existing equity as attractive at current valuation levels. At $0.60 per share, the equity is still implying an enterprise value of about 10x management's adjusted EBITDA forecast for 2027 despite operational execution risks and restructuring complexity that I believe should warrant a discount. I expect the equity to trade down from current levels as the restructuring transaction is completed in Q3 and the full impact of dilution is crystallized. I would need to see materially lower equity prices and additional progress towards the company's business plan before revisiting. Background New Fortress Energy is a vertically integrated LNG/power generation company with operations primarily in Latin America (Puerto Rico, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Brazil). The company announced an RSA on 3/17/26 that will split the company into two businesses. The restructuring is being effectuated via a formal UK process and parallel US Chapter 15 that the company expects to complete in Q3 2026. The company's Brazil assets will be spun into a new private entity ("BrazilCo") while the remaining assets will stay in the current NFE entity ("New NFE" or "CoreCo"). Existing creditors will largely be equitized, taking new debt and 65% of post reorg equity in New NFE and 100% of post reorg equity in BrazilCo. Existing equity in NFE will be diluted, but it will retain 35% ownership of New NFE. Company filings Pro Forma Assets and Capital Structure of New NFE Post-transaction, New NFE's assets will primarily be the company's LNG import terminals/power plants in Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Nicaragua, and its FLNG1 liquefaction facility, which converts natural gas to LNG and supplies the company's downstream assets and other third parties with LNG. The company will also own a separate partially constructed liquefaction facilit...

The fierce heat sweeping Europe over the bank holiday weekend has beaten the UK’s all-time temperature record for May, with highs of up to 35C still to come on Monday afternoon. A temperature of 33.5C was recorded at London’s Heathrow on Monday lunchtime, according to provisional data from the Met Offfice, beating the previous May record that was set in Camden Square in 1922 and reached again in Tunbridge Wells and Regent’s Park in 1944. The heat is set to persist through the week, with a 35C peak expected again on Tuesday. The Met Office has forecast highs of 31C for Wednesday and 30C on Thursday. Overnight temperatures on Sunday broke the UK’s highest minimum temperature for May, with Kenley airfield recording a low of 19.4C. The warm weather across western Europe may be welcomed by many enjoying time off work and school but it is also expected to worsen illness and increase mortality rates. Last week the UK government’s climate advisers warned that British homes would need air conditioning as global heating reaches intolerable levels. Dr Chloe Brimicombe, a climate researcher at the University of Oxford, said: “The record-breaking heat is a reminder of how climate change is impacting our lives in the UK. It highlights the urgency of recent calls for heat adaptation.” People who are old, pregnant or ill are at particularly greater risk when temperatures stray outside a comfortable range. High heat stresses the body and uncomfortably warm nights prevent it from resting. Amber heat health alerts were issued on Friday, indicating a possible risk to life. Heat is known as a “silent killer” because it claims vast numbers of lives that go uncounted in official statistics. Last summer, scientists attributed two in every three heat-related deaths in European cities to climate breakdown. Drawing curtains, opening windows and planting trees for shade can save lives, but the UK’s Climate Change Committee said last week that even these measures were likely to be insufficient ...

Getty Images By Catherine Yoshimoto, Director, Product Management Overview In recent years, media and analyst coverage of the US equity market has focused on the remarkable performance of a handful of mega-cap stocks. But could companies at the other end of the size spectrum be poised to make a comeback? Specialist stock market indexes will play a vital role in helping us answer this question. In this paper we profile the original, dedicated benchmark for US small caps - the Russell 2000® Index. Since its launch in 1984, the Russell 2000 has provided a consistent and comprehensive record of the US equity market’s small company segment. In the following sections, we review the long-term investment case for small companies and cite empirical evidence for a return premium from this category of stock. We examine more recent trends in relative large-cap/small-cap performance, using the well-known Russell 1000 and 2000 indexes to represent these two categories of US stocks. We show how the Russell 2000 fits seamlessly into the broader Russell US index family and how it takes an objective, transparent, and predictable approach to classifying small companies. The Russell 2000 has long been the default measure of small-cap performance for US equity market analysts and commentators. Read on to obtain a full picture of how it is designed, built, supervised and maintained. Large caps generate headlines… In recent years, the ‘Magnificent Seven’ of US tech stocks - Alphabet ( GOOG ), Amazon ( AMZN ), Apple ( AAPL ), Meta Platforms ( META ), Microsoft ( MSFT ), Nvidia ( NVDA ) and Tesla ( TSLA ) - have dominated the financial news headlines. These companies’ shares have performed so well that, at the end of March 2026, the Magnificent Seven made up nearly 30% by weight of the capitalization-weighted Russell 1000 index (which includes around 1000 stocks). However, periods of market dominance by select US large-cap stocks are not new. Between 1969 and 1972 another group of large com...
