Cidmart/iStock via Getty Images Introduction Signify ( PHPPY ) has been a pretty volatile stock in the past year as its share price has been known to lose 20% and gain 20% in relatively short periods of time. Subsequent to the publication of the 2025 results the share price came under severe pressure again as the bottom line result was not as good as anticipated. On top of that, it sounded like 2026 would be another difficult year for this leader in LED lighting . I originally invested in Signify based on its free cash flow profile rather than its bottom line earnings results and for now I'm sticking to my position in anticipation of a better performance in 2027. Yahoo Finance The company's main listing ( ticker symbol LIGHT ) on Euronext Amsterdam is much more liquid, with approximately 1 million shares traded on a daily basis. I will use the Euro as base currency throughout this article. The cash flows remain very strong, and that’s a key element for me Before discussing my expectations for 2026 and 2027 I wanted to take a step back and use the 2025 results to explain how invite companies free cash flow result is stronger than its net income result. This is an integral part of my investment thesis. Whereas the Consumer business grew everywhere except in China, the Professional division was growing in the USA but decreased in Europe . The real underlying issue was the OEM segment where volume reductions happened hand in hand with pricing pressure (resulting in Signify’s margins getting hammered ). Meanwhile, the over the counter sales(and conventional sales) decreased as well, but this was generally expected. In fact, going forward, I am assuming the sale of conventional lighting will decrease towards zero in the next half decade as these orders are mainly to replace older lightbulbs in fixtures the owner doesn’t want to replace yet. Those fixtures will eventually all be replaced by LED lighting, reducing the need for conventional light ‘bulbs’. The revenue decreas...

Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images By James Picerno Stock market corrections may look similar from a top-down perspective of falling prices, but different factors can trigger corrections and bear markets at different times. High market valuation is a possible warning lately, but a markets-based estimate suggests risk is lower than an accounting-based review of equities indicates. There are multiple ways to measure valuation for stocks, and so, conflicting signals are possible - if not likely - at times. Current conditions highlight the divergence. Consider the Shiller PE Ratio, a widely followed measure of market valuation. The Cyclically Adjusted Price-Earnings Ratio (CAPE) is lofty and close to its highest level in decades, based on the April estimate from Professor Robert Shiller’s data. On that basis, stocks look substantially overvalued. By contrast, TMC Research’s Excess Return Oscillator (ERO) for the S&P 500 suggests that the market remains in a “normal” range, as indicated by the gray zone in the top chart below. (Our previous ERO update was published in January .) The sharp difference between the two indicators can be explained by methodology. Whereas CAPE reflects the S&P 500’s price relative to the average of real (inflation-adjusted) earnings over a rolling 10-year window, ERO compares the S&P’s rolling 5-year return to its rolling 5-year median, with results reframed as z-scores indicating how many standard deviations returns are above or below the average on a rolling 5-year basis. Each valuation estimate has a distinct set of pros and cons, although both share the standard caveat that neither metric can reliably predict the market’s future performance, especially in the short term. That said, ERO’s long-term history suggests that when the indicator moves toward or exceeds a +1 reading, the odds rise for a relatively significant near-term top. ERO’s current reading reflects market conditions in a “normal” range. That doesn’t mean market risk...

Donald Leng/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Peru’s defense minister, Carlos Diaz, stepped down on Wednesday after the interim government decided to defer a planned acquisition of F-16 fighter jets from the United States. Interim President Jose Balcazar, whose term ends in July, said the decision on the aircraft purchase would be left to the next administration rather than finalized during the final months of his tenure. Peru has spent several years evaluating options to replace and modernize its aging air force fleet, which includes Mirage 2000 and MiG-29 aircraft obtained during the 1980s and 1990s. The country ultimately aims to buy 24 new fighter jets, with an initial order expected to cover 12 aircraft. Lockheed Martin ( LMT ) is among the companies competing for the contract. In September of last year, the U.S. State Department approved a potential sale of F-16 aircraft and related equipment to Peru, with Lockheed Martin ( LMT ) as the lead contractor and support from General Electric Aerospace ( GE ) and RTX Corp. ( RTX ) U.S. officials then estimated the package at $3.42 billion. According to local media reports, Balcazar called off a signing ceremony for the Lockheed Martin ( LMT ) deal on April 17 only hours before it was due to begin. Reports said the president was concerned about binding the incoming government to a major long-term defense commitment. Authorities have not publicly confirmed that a signing event had been scheduled. Diaz, who had served as defense minister since March 17, had been expected to testify before Congress’s Defense Committee regarding the delayed agreement.
