Sven Piper/iStock Editorial via Getty Images SpaceX's upcoming Nasdaq debut may be one of the most anticipated IPOs in history, but Morningstar analysts believe investors should approach the stock with caution, arguing the company is worth less than half its expected market valuation. SpaceX is reportedly seeking to raise $75B at a valuation of approximately $1.75T. “We think the company has been significantly overvalued and investors will have opportunities to buy the stock at more attractive levels after the IPO,” Morningstar analysts wrote in a research note published Monday. A key concern for Morningstar is the company's xAI business. The analysts see a wide range of potential outcomes for the unit's future profitability and describe its economic moat as "indeterminate." They also believe xAI poses a "material threat of value destruction" to the broader company. “Our discounted cash flow valuation of SpaceX is $780 billion, about 48% below its private market valuation, including a wide range of probability-weighted scenarios for the AI business,” the analysts added. While the firm does not view the IPO as an attractive entry point for retail investors, it believes those interested in the company's long-term prospects may find better buying opportunities after the initial excitement fades, offering "a greater margin of safety" than at the time of listing. “With a small initial float boosted by almost every investment bank on the planet, buoyant investor appetite for AI infrastructure bids, and an unprecedented path to inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 Index just 15 trading days after the IPO, we expect SpaceX’s share price will likely survive separation and may even ascend, at least for a time,” Morningstar said.

Switzerland said it remains in talks with the US after Washington proposed fresh tariffs on imports from major trading partners, adding that negotiations to finalize a broader trade deal are continuing. “Negotiations with the US on a trade agreement continue to go on,” a spokesperson for the economy ministry said, speaking on behalf of the Swiss government. “Switzerland is taking current developments into account in these negotiations. Switzerland aims for a negotiation outcome that will satisfactorily regulate economic relations between the two countries in the long term, regardless of legal and political developments in the US.” The statement followed the US’s proposal to impose tariffs of at least 10% on goods from 60 trading partners, the Trump administration’s biggest move to revive a protectionist trade agenda after earlier levies were struck down by the US Supreme Court. Under the proposal, imports from Canada, Mexico, the European Union, Taiwan and the UK would face a 10% tariff following a Section 301 investigation into goods allegedly produced with forced labor. Products from China , India , Japan, South Korea, Brazil and Switzerland would be subject to a 12.5% levy, according to the Office of the US Trade Representative. “Switzerland vehemently rejects the allegations raised in these investigations,” the economy ministry spokesperson said. “Swiss practices do not harm US manufacturers.” In a separate statement, Economiesuisse — Switzerland’s chief business lobby — also rejected the claims. “There is no evidence whatsoever that goods from the US have to compete in Switzerland with products that contain inputs derived from forced labor,” it said. “Nor is there any evidence that Swiss supply chains are being used to channel such goods into the US market or to distort competitive conditions to the detriment of American companies.” The business lobby also raised concerns over the proposal that new tariffs would be higher than those for the European Union. “The...

Andrzej Rostek/iStock via Getty Images Co-authored with Luuk Wierenga. As income investors, one of our highest priorities is to buy companies when we believe they are trading at an attractive long-term valuation. After all, when you pay a lower price, you receive a higher yield on your capital. This frequently means buying investments that are unpopular or currently out of favor—buying investments that haven't seen strong total returns over the past 3-5 years. After all, if the price went up a lot, it probably isn't cheap anymore. This is particularly true with dividend investing, where a large portion of the total return will come as dividends instead of upside in share price. With Growth stocks that pay a minimal or no dividend, you can have nearly infinite price upside. They are maintaining their capital and reinvesting it in growing the business. So as earnings grow, that should drive long-term price growth. With dividend investments, you tend to have much slower growth because the company is distributing a large portion of its profits to shareholders. They are retaining less and therefore growing at a slower pace. Therefore, prices tend to rise less, and the money is going into your pocket, which you can reinvest if you want your position to grow, or you can do something else with it.

Marvin Samuel Tolentino Pineda/iStock via Getty Images A go-to destination for live sports. That is the kind of thought that management at Roku ( ROKU ) would like you to have when you think of their company. At least, that's the read I took from the recent news out that Roku has added FOX One to its premium subscription offerings ahead of World Cup coverage. Gil Fuchsberg, Roku’s president of Subscriptions, Partnerships, and Corporate Development, spoke about this development and said: “The addition of FOX One expands the premium entertainment, news, and live sports available through Premium Subscriptions on The Roku Channel ahead of the biggest global sports moment of the year,” It seems to me that this is a pretty good indicator that the company is serious about expanding into live sports to the greatest extent that it possibly can, and making a move like this ahead of a sporting event that will be viewed around the world signals to me that the company is buckling down and getting serious about live sports. Now, this is far from the only thing that I consider encouraging about the Roku growth story. Rather, there are plenty of points of interest for those who might be thinking about buying a few shares for themselves, and I would like to cover those for you. The Big 100-Million Household Milestone There were plenty of things contained in the Q1 2026 earnings report for investors to be excited about, and I will get to several of them, but far and away the most important one was the milestone number of 100 million. That's the number of households that now stream Roku in some form or fashion. The company issued a press release on April 16, 2026, to highlight and celebrate the news: Today, Roku announced it has surpassed 100 million streaming households worldwide, a major milestone that highlights the company’s scale and momentum. This achievement reflects the broader shift in viewing habits, as streaming becomes the primary way people watch TV. The press release wen...
