J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images Things weren't looking too hot when I last assessed Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. ( TNDM ). Despite a small headline Q2 2025 revenue beat, the company missed big on EPS and made a downward revision to its full-year 2025 U.S. sales guidance. I also touched on the competitive landscape within the insulin pump market that featured larger and more established players like Insulet ( PODD ) and Medtronic ( MDT ). Recently, it does seem that Tandem has turned things around just a bit. And its stock has clearly priced in higher expectations, as it is up over 60% since my last analysis (although, my write-up happened to mark the 52-week low; the stock price is, otherwise, indecisive and volatile). Data by YCharts But in the paragraphs that follow, I still don't feel very confident in Tandem's long-term prospects. And after conducting a DCF analysis, it appears that the stock is priced as if a turnaround is all but guaranteed. So, although I lean more bullish ahead of the 510(k) submission of Mobi Tubeless, I am still a bit hesitant. Recent Developments I’m “reading between the lines,” but Tandem extended its full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. This is an admission that management does not expect to be profitable anytime soon. This shouldn’t surprise anyone, given that the company has generated operating losses in the past three years. But it lets us know that actual operational progress remains nuanced and minor, despite gains in “adjusted EBITDA” and cash flow, which are more subject to interpretation. Image 1: TNDM financial trends; data sourced from Seeking Alpha (Author's Compilation) Most of Tandem’s trends have improved, but they still fall short of peers like Insulet, especially in profit margins and revenue growth. Table 1: Insulet vs. Tandem (Author's Compilation) The big kicker in Tandem’s FY26 guidance was the non-cash charges like stock-based compensation ("SBC") and depreciation & amortization. The ...

Dazman/E+ via Getty Images Iron ore prices tumbled in Asian trading Thursday following a sudden surge in exports from Guinea’s Simandou iron ore project, six months after the first shipment to China from the world's largest untapped, high-grade iron ore reserve. Shipments from Simandou's Morebaya port reached 2.2M tons in May, according to ship tracking data from Kpler, much higher than April's 1.3M tons and just 600K tons or less in each of the first three months of this year. The spike in shipments is coinciding with summer off-season steel demand, contributing to an increasingly oversupplied market in China , while a strong rally in coking coal has begun to squeeze steelmaking margins, reducing support for iron ore prices. The most-traded iron ore contract ( SCO:COM ) on China's Dalian Commodity Exchange closed daytime trade down 1.9% to 767.5 yuan/ton ($113.32), the weakest level since April 16, and the benchmark July contract on the Singapore Exchange recently traded down 1.8% at $101.75/ton, the lowest since March 9 and the largest daily loss since April 9. Simandou has been touted as a game-changer for the iron ore industry, with an annual 120M tons expected to be shipped once the project is at full capacity; the mine has four blocks, two owned by the China-Singapore-led Baowu Winning Consortium Simandou and two by Simfer, a joint venture of Rio Tinto ( RIO ) and Chinalco. Some of the recent increase in exports could be due to a government push for the two consortiums to work more efficiently together, dry bulk advisory Ifchor Galbraiths said in a note; "It's a way to optimize the royalty payment," according to head of research Vincent Lemaitre.

Lighthouse Films/DigitalVision via Getty Images Ticketplus Is Growing, But Risks Are Significant Ticketplus Ltd. ( TP ) has filed to raise expansion and general working capital from an IPO of its ordinary shares, according to an F-1 registration statement . The company operates an online ticket sales and marketing platform for events serving markets in Latin America. Topline revenue growth has been impressive, but its operating results aren’t as good as they may seem, and the company is exposed to expansion execution and currency risks. I’ll provide a final opinion when we learn more about the IPO. What does Ticketplus do? Ticketplus has developed a system that enables attendees of live events in various Latin American countries to purchase their tickets online, either directly or through its white-label offering. In 2025, the site hosted 39.800 events from over 2,800 venues and promoters in 11 countries in Central and South America, from Mexico to Chile. The company's current coverage footprint is shown in the graphic below: SEC TP derives most of its revenue from its branded and proprietary core platform and a minority of revenue from its white-label offering, as the pie chart shows here: SEC The firm is led by co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Chien-Fu Chen Chen, who was the firm’s original Chief Technology Officer when it was founded in 2014. Ticketplus has recorded $3.3 million in fair market value investment from investors, including Yehtro Dinamarco Santelices, who is the company's Chairman. What is Ticketplus’ Market? The South America events market was an estimated $27.7 billion in 2022 and was forecast to exceed $45.5 billion by 2028, according to a 2023 market research report by Business Market Insights. If achieved, that growth would represent a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 8.6% from 2021 to 2028, a moderately robust rate of growth. Event types include music concerts, festivals, sporting events, exhibitions and conference and corporate ...
