Vladimir Zakharov A screen of U.S. stocks with market capitalizations between $300M to $2B highlights AdaptHealth ( AHCO ), Community Health Systems ( CYH ), and Rigel Pharmaceuticals ( RIGL ) among the market's most attractively valued companies relative to their sector peers. Seeking Alpha's valuation grade compares how expensive or cheap a stock is relative to others in its specific sector. The score is calculated using a comprehensive combination of underlying valuation metrics—including P/E, PEG, EV/Sales, EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT, Price/Sales, Price/Book, Price/Cash Flow, and dividend yield—factoring in both current and forward estimates. The stock screen revealed strong value metrics across several major healthcare equipment, services, and pharmaceutical firms: 10 small-cap U.S. healthcare stocks with top valuation grades (i.e., the cheapest stocks with a market cap between $300M to $2B ): AdaptHealth ( AHCO ): Valuation Grade A+ Community Health Systems ( CYH ) : Valuation Grade A+ Rigel Pharmaceuticals ( RIGL ) : Valuation Grade A+ ADMA Biologics ( ADMA ) : Valuation Grade A AMN Healthcare Services ( AMN ) : Valuation Grade A Ardent Health ( ARDT ) : Valuation Grade A Astrana Health ( ASTH ) : Valuation Grade A CorMedix ( CRMD ) : Valuation Grade A Emergent BioSolutions ( EBS ) : Valuation Grade A Enovis Corporation ( ENOV ) : Valuation Grade A More on AdaptHealth Corp., Community Health Systems, etc. ADMA Biologics: Longstanding Bull Hits The Reset Button After Murky Q1 Earnings CorMedix: Bleak Short-Term Outlook, But Significantly Undervalued For The Long Run Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Traders are betting the US dollar will rise in the weeks ahead, supported by lingering uncertainty over US-Iran talks and an AI-fueled rally in US stocks. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index advanced last month as investors gauged the tenuous progress of US-Iran negotiations. The war has effectively shuttered the Strait of Hormuz, sending energy prices soaring, and catalyzed fears that global central banks, including the Federal Reserve, will need to hike interest rates to counter inflation. On Monday the gauge rose another 0.4%, after a report suggested that Iran will stop exchanging messages with the US after Israel expanded its assault on Lebanon. The euro traded around the $1.1615 level as of 10:15 a.m. in New York; the yen was at 159.70 per dollar. The index extended gains after a report showed US manufacturing activity in May expanded at the fastest pace in four years. The greenback has also found support in recent weeks from a resilient US stock market, where enthusiasm over artificial intelligence has buoyed equity prices despite the undercurrent of geopolitical stresses. The S&P 500 Index rose 5% in May to fresh record highs, on top of a 10% gain in April. Investors this week will look to fresh data — notably Friday’s May jobs report — to assess the health of the US economy and the Fed’s path under new Chairman Kevin Warsh . “There is a creeping view that US growth could be re-accelerating as AI investment seeps through the broader economy,” Chris Turner , head of foreign-exchange strategy at ING Bank, wrote Monday. “This week’s data should further support the growing narrative that the Fed can be comfortable with its full employment mandate and can focus squarely on the upside risks to inflation.” Read more: US Dollar’s May Rally Leaves Strategists Wary of More Gains Speculative positioning in the currency derivatives market suggests that traders are increasingly bullish on the greenback.

Dell Technologies (DELL) has become one of the market's biggest AI winners, with the stock tripling this year and jumping nearly 60% in the past week alone. The rally has pushed Dell's price-to-sales multiple from less than 0.8x to more than 2.5x, a valuation once reserved for much faster-growing software companies, while lifting the stock to roughly 23x forward earnings, levels that would have seemed unthinkable for a company long associated with PCs and commodity servers.

A nearly six-month old video of Donald Trump praising International Business Machines Corp. ’s CEO sent the shares surging almost 9% on Monday, adding more than $24 billion to the company’s stock-market value.

A nearly six-month old video of Donald Trump praising International Business Machines Corp. ’s CEO sent the shares surging almost 9% on Monday, adding more than $24 billion to the company’s stock-market value. When the president initially praised IBM’s Arvind Krishna as a “legend” at the December White House event, there was little immediate market reaction. But over the weekend, dozens of accounts on X recirculated the video, with one Saturday post from Polymarket Money alone racking up more than 700,000 views. By Sunday night, trading on Robinhood Markets Inc. ’s 24 Hour Market showed that IBM stock was climbing — even before Nvidia Corp . CEO Jensen Huang ’s comments boosted software shares — setting the stage for the sharp rise this morning. The movement underscores the scale of the speculative mania that’s sweeping through corners of the market as the artificial-intelligence boom sets off a stampede into tech stocks. In this case, it also reflects Trump’s willingness to champion particular companies and industries, which has also occasionally caused his comments to set off sharp stock moves. “It’s not hard. Invest in what Trump talks about, make money, rinse and repeat,” said Matthew Tuttle , chief executive officer of Tuttle Capital Management . Even though the comments about IBM were months old, he added, it “doesn’t take much these days to get the animal spirits flowing.” Intel Corp. shares swung in August on Trump’s comments about its chief executive. Dell Technologies Inc. more recently popped after the president praised founder Michael Dell for contributing to his Trump investment accounts for children and urged Americans to buy the company’s computers. And Trump’s social media pronouncements about the war in Iran have moved the market more broadly. IBM shares had already been rising sharply along with other tech stocks. By the end of last week, they had surged nearly 40% in a little over two weeks. Some of those gains came after the Trump administration ...

Alexey_Fedoren Wall Street searches for clear direction on Monday after Iranian media reported the “Axis of Resistance,” a coalition of Iran-backed groups across the Middle East, would activate “all fronts.” The blue chip Dow ( DJI ) was -0.2%, the benchmark S&P 500 ( SP500 ) was near even, and the tech focused Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) was mostly unchanged From a sector-by-sector perspective, two of the 11 S&P segments were in the green, and led by the energy space. At the other end of the spectrum, consumer discretionary has suffered the most so far. Iran’s Tasnim news agency said the “Axis of Resistance” would activate “all fronts,” referring to the network of Iran-backed armed groups across the Middle East, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and allied militias operating in Iraq and Syria.

Getty Images My Current View of the S&P 500 Index: June 2026 Edition (Technical Analysis) As the S&P 500 index continues its bullish advance, I want to review my retirement holdings associated with my Thrift Savings Plan retirement account. This account allows me to choose from four funds that are designed to match the performance of the following: SPDR S&P 500 ETF ( SPY ), the iShares MSCI ACWI ex US ETF ( ACWX ), the Vanguard Extended Market ETF ( VXF ), and the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF ( AGG ). I am making a change in allocation this month, and I will outline why I am doing that. I last wrote about my retirement account allocation in early March. For my Thrift Savings Plan retirement account, my strategy is that of a trend trader. If the trend is up, I want to own the trend. If the trend is down, I want to avoid owning that asset. Each month I start my assessment by looking at the S&P 500 index. I want to own the market if it is trading above its 10-month exponential moving average (EMA) as I find the 10-month EMA to be a good filter for defining a bullish trend. When the market is above its 10-month EMA, the market is bullish. If the market is trading below its 10-month EMA, then the market is bearish, and I don’t want to own the market. Chart 1 – S&P 500 Monthly with 10-Month EMA S&P 500 monthly chart (StockCharts) The market has done well. The S&P 500 index closed the month of May 5.15% higher. Using the 10-month EMA, Chart 1 says that the S&P 500 index is bullish. It is trading above its upward-sloping 10-month EMA. Year-to-date the S&P 500 index is up a robust 10.52%. Chart 2 – SPY Monthly with 10-Month EMA SPY monthly chart (StockCharts) Chart 2 shows SPY for the last five years. This view offers more clarity than the 20-year view shown in Chart 1. As expected from viewing Chart 1 above, SPY performed well. It closed the month 5.26% higher and slightly outperformed the S&P 500 index. There is a lot to like about Chart 2. SPY now has a similar lo...

FabrikaCr/iStock via Getty Images TOYO Co., Ltd. ( TOYO ), the Japan-based holdings company, has performed remarkably well since its IPO in 2024. The stock performance notwithstanding, financial performance has been a mixed bag: revenue and profitability have grown over the years, while cash flows reveal notable weaknesses. These were noted in my most recent analysis , leading me to have it as a Strong Buy. In this revised analysis, I consider the improved cash position, phenomenal increase in net income, and management guidance, which all signal a much-improved position in the company. I also note the independent auditor’s concerns and regulatory and litigation risks in my thesis, which continues to be a Strong Buy. Stock performance TOYO's share price has receded from a year high of $16.51 to its current level of $16.21, a decline of 2%. The 52-week range is $3.24-$16.51. However, the return over the past year has been 319.36%, a figure that far outpaces the S&P 500 ( SP500 ), which returned 28.21%. Source: Seeking Alpha charts Over a similar period, the MAC Global Solar Energy Index, which “is a rules-based stock index that seeks to track the performance of companies in global solar energy businesses,” has returned 128.33% . In a word, TOYO’s stock performance has considerably outdone general industry and specific sectoral indices. Part of this impressive performance is accounted for by the strong financial numbers reported for Q1 2026 and the full financial year 2025. Financials Even though targets were missed, the changes in TOYO’s financial outcomes are nothing short of spectacular. Unaudited financial results reported on May 18, 2026 reveal positives all around, with Q1 2026 revenue increasing from $51.5 million to $142.8 million, or 177% year over year; gross profit up 894.8%; and net income up 868% from a net loss of $3.7 million the previous year to $28.4 million for Q1 2026. A snapshot of figures presented at the earnings call suggests a positive 2025. Q1...
