Click here to find out more » Kirpal Kooner/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis NexPoint Residential Trust ( NXRT ) is currently trading well below its peers with a discount of around 40% to the NAV and a P/FFO of around 9-10x. Recent management presentations on the REITweek 2026 continue to show a substantial gap between market price and underlying asset value, supporting the view of a persistent NAV discount. While the pipeline of new completions in Sunbelt will decrease starting from 2026 onwards, NXRT's focus on the Value-Add program continues to deliver double-digit returns for newly purchased properties or existing ones. At the same time, NXRT is a highly cyclical REIT, since the current supply in Sunbelt is high, as well as the interest costs. But at least the supply of new apartments is decreasing in a meaningful way from 2026 to 2028. Due to the fact that the company mainly relies on floating interest rates and their hedging expires this year, leasing spreads are increasingly under pressure. So, the valuation discounts reflect these upcoming structural risks, but they also indicate a significant rerating potential. Sector and Company Overview NXRT is, for me, one of the most interesting but also one of the riskiest stocks in the Sunbelt residential market. The company owns 36 Class B properties with 13,305 units in different regions like South Florida or Las Vegas. Supported by strong employment growth, migration trends, and the affordability advantage over Class A properties, NXRT's structural position in the Sunbelt remains intact, although there currently is a significant surplus of housing in the region. With an average rent of 1.485 USD per unit and 93.5% occupancy, the operati...

William Barton/iStock Editorial via Getty Images GSK ( GSK ) has agreed to acquire U.S. biopharmaceutical company Nuvalent ( NUVL ) in a deal valued at approximately $10.6B. Under the agreement, GSK will launch a tender offer within ten business days to acquire all outstanding Nuvalent Class A and Class B shares for $124 per share in cash, representing a 40% premium to Nuvalent's closing price on Monday and a 26% premium to its 30-day volume-weighted average price. After accounting for Nuvalent's cash balance, GSK expects its net investment in the transaction to be approximately $9.4B (£7.1B). The acquisition adds three lung cancer assets to GSK's oncology pipeline, including late-stage investigational therapies zidesamtinib and neladalkib, which target ROS1- and ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), respectively. Both candidates are currently under FDA review, with potential U.S. approvals expected in 2026. GSK said the acquisition aligns with its strategy of acquiring companies with validated drug targets and therapies that address efficacy and tolerability limitations of existing treatments. The company expects the deal to be accretive to sales and core operating profit in 2027 and to core EPS by 2029, including anticipated synergies and portfolio optimization benefits. There is no change to GSK’s 2026 full-year guidance range of 7-9% core operating profit and core EPS growth. GSK will account for the transaction as a business combination. GSK will also assume Nuvalent’s existing revenue-sharing arrangements of low-single-digit royalties payable to Royalty Pharma and Deerfield.

Bogdan Nicolaescu/iStock via Getty Images There's no sugarcoating it. Wall St. and I saw potential in Here Group ( HERE ), but the market isn't waiting for the IP flywheel —even with the JV with Enlight Media announced a few quarters ago. To date, the call has been a clear miss. But is it still worth pursuing this triple-digit upside even with the market trading it as an ' IP fad '? I mean, Here Group may not become a Pop Mart ( PMRTY ) like many people were imagining, but at this point they're trading at very low multiples and sitting on $97 million in cash. And remember, Here develops the largest chunk of its IPs in-house. No risk of paying a lot of money for licensing like Funko ( FNKO ) and other pop toy makers. But look, I'm not saying the double-digit dip after earnings was irrational. The company cut its guidance by ~25%, WAKUKU lost sales momentum (-20% quarter-over-quarter), and XIAO AO (my hope in the last article co-authored by Chinese star Wang Yibo) didn't make that much of a difference in the end. Is there any angle to reach that triple-digit upside (~225% to $5.80) that Wall Street is aiming for? Seeking Alpha Maybe the Rubble Isn't So Bad After All First of all, I think it's fair to say that this isn't the weakest quarter since QuantaSing became Here Group. Even so, I think it was the most disappointing of them all. As you can see, revenue was RMB 164.7 million, ~7.1% lower than the last quarter. Since the transformation into pure-play pop-toys happened in Q4 FY 2025, we don't yet have good comparisons. Earnings Presentation Even so, Q3 FY 2026 was the second-best quarter in terms of sales. And that was probably expected, since they continued expanding pop-up stores across China (including new robotic vending terminals) and partnerships like the one with MINISO ( MNSO ). But I think what weighed most heavily here was WAKUKU's sales falling to RMB 102.4 million. There are a few ways to look at this. For example, while WAKUKU (flagship IP) weakened, SI...
After helping to shock Italy in the playoffs, the Bosnia and Herzegovina captain is out to upset co-hosts Canada in their opening match on Friday “Sometimes there is an end for all of us, maybe mine is coming soon,” says Edin Dzeko, though first there is the small matter of captaining Bosnia and Herzegovina at only their second World Cup, lessons learned. “When I was 17, 18, people were telling me...
After helping to shock Italy in the playoffs, the Bosnia and Herzegovina captain is out to upset co-hosts Canada in their opening match on Friday “Sometimes there is an end for all of us, maybe mine is coming soon,” says Edin Dzeko, though first there is the small matter of captaining Bosnia and Herzegovina at only their second World Cup, lessons learned. “When I was 17, 18, people were telling me: ‘Experience is something you get by playing for so many years,’” he says, screwing up his face a little, “when you think like a 17-year-old.” A smile unravels on Dzeko’s face. “But when you arrive at this age you know experience is fundamental.” When he was sold by the Sarajevo-based Zeljeznicar to the Czech team Teplice as a teenager, few envisaged him forging an elite career that has taken him to Europe’s best leagues and the biggest stages in the game. He is one of seven fortysomethings who could feature at the tournament this summer, along with Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric and, just like those two, inevitably much of the intrigue in Dzeko is rooted in longevity. To cut to the chase, what are the secrets to his success? Continue reading...

The batter is primed to take advantage of the home T20 tournament – she is determined to create memories for the nation Given how composed Alice Capsey has recently looked in an England shirt, it’s hard to imagine her getting nervous – but with only days to go until England’s World Cup opener on Friday against Sri Lanka, she admits she is struggling. “I doubt I’ll sleep very well [on Thursday],” she says. “I think it might take me a little while to wind down and switch off from all the nerves and excitement.” Capsey has been through a lot since she first came to public attention five years ago at the age of 16 by scoring a blazing half-century at Lord’s in the Women’s Hundred: this will be her fourth World Cup. But she is acutely aware that a home tournament brings pressure on a whole different scale. “This is a once-in-a-career opportunity,” she says. “We’ve got an amazing opportunity as a team to create some really special memories, not only as a group, but for the nation.” Continue reading...

Sources say much delayed Dip is close to sign-off but only after some of the Labour government’s worst infighting Cabinet relations have been left badly damaged by the protracted row over the defence investment plan (Dip), according to Whitehall sources who say the standoff has led to some of the worst infighting since Labour took power.

From Curaçao and Cape Verde to Morocco and Turkey, fans reflect Dutch city where loyalties are shared, not divided Three hours before their team’s opening World Cup match on 14 June, about 4,000 football fans are expected to pack into a giant former concrete grain store in Rotterdam that is one of the Dutch city’s best-known nightclub venues. However, the flags will be blue, not orange, and the aroma of arros moro will fill the air as the room pulsates to the beat of conga drums and ritmo kombina . The Maassilo has been booked to host the watch party for Curaçao, the least populous country to qualify for the World Cup and a constituent nation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Many Dutch supporters will be cheering along with them. All but two of Curaçao’s squad were born in the Netherlands; 12 of them play for clubs in the Eredivisie or the second-tier Keuken Kampioen Divisie. The team are managed by the longtime Dutch coach Dick Advocaat. The Dutch king and queen are planning to attend at least one of the Blue Wave’s group matches. Continue reading...

His toxic Henry Nowak intervention fits a pattern. Vance has hard-right views, a disdain for European society – and he may yet become president Immigration is falling in Britain . It’s falling so fast and so hard – net migration to the UK nearly halved between 2024 and 2025 – that before long we could conceivably be a shrinking population , with more people leaving the country than coming here. (And no, that’s not because of an exodus of bright young Britons fleeing overseas, though you wouldn’t blame them given how hard they’re finding it currently to get jobs: the rise, as the Institute for Government’s Sam Freedman helpfully points out , is mainly in foreign students and foreign workers going home.) Even small-boat crossings are down on last year. We have, in short, finally made ourselves as unattractive to the rest of the world as leave voters always wanted – which means that, sooner or later, populists who built their careers on railing against supposedly uncontrolled immigration are going to be needing another scapegoat to explain why taking back control hasn’t magically solved all the country’s problems. And with a grim inevitability, they’re finding it in turning on migrants who are already here. That’s the background to two hand grenades lobbed aggressively into British politics from across the Atlantic last week, causing enough concern in Downing Street to prompt a rare public rebuke. The claim from the US vice-president, JD Vance, that “righteous anger” was “ the only response ” to the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak would have been provocative enough, given its pointed echo of Nigel Farage’s now widely condemned call for “ pure, cold rage ”.

Exclusive: Landscape painter was also a keen musician and played a cello made for him by his friend and mentor He was one of Britain’s greatest landscape painters, with masterpieces including The Hay Wain and View on the Stour near Dedham But John Constable was also a keen musician – and his personal cello, which he commissioned, is to be played in public for the first time in 100 years after its restoration.

On Saturday, Mirra Andreeva won the French Open at 19. Spain’s Lamine Yamal, at 18, is one of the favourites for the World Cup’s golden ball. Then there is Cooper Lutkenhaus, the 17-year-old American already making the world’s best athletes gasp for air and reach for superlatives, who may yet prove the best of the bunch. True, it is early days. But Lutkenhaus is already track and field’s youngest world champion, having won 800m indoor gold in March . On Sunday, he added to his CV with victory against a top-class field in his first Diamond League race. But it was what his rivals said afterwards in Stockholm that left the deepest mark.
