Hemisphere Energy: Still Attractive, But $100 WTI Is No Longer The Base Case

Hemisphere Energy: Still Attractive, But $100 WTI Is No Longer The Base Case

Hemisphere Energy (HMENF) remains a compelling oil microcap with no bank debt and strong Atlee Buffalo cash flow. Dividend safety and upside from special dividends and buybacks are supported by robust free funds flow, but remain commodity dependent. The investment thesis is heavily reliant on Atlee Buffalo, as Marsden has yet to prove itself as a significant cash flow contributor.

AMD: The Sell-Off Is Missing The 2027 Data Center Setup

AMD: The Sell-Off Is Missing The 2027 Data Center Setup

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) delivered record Q2 revenue of $11.5B, with Data Center revenue up 107% YoY to $6.7B, now 58% of total sales. Q3 guidance of $13B revenue and 56% gross margin signals ongoing Data Center momentum, with management projecting Data Center sales to more than double in 2027. Margins remain robust despite rising capex: Q2 non-GAAP gross margin was 56%, and free cash flow reached $1.56B, supported by a strong balance sheet.

Booking Holdings: The Buy Thesis Survives Q2

Booking Holdings: The Buy Thesis Survives Q2

Booking Holdings (BKNG) Q2 results were mixed, with revenue up 8% and EPS up 15% YoY, but growth decelerating versus recent quarters. I remain on a cautious buy rating for BKNG, citing strong shareholder returns, wide moat, and discounted valuation, despite short-term macro and competitive headwinds. Marketing expenses grew 11%, outpacing revenue, raising concerns about customer acquisition costs and competitive pressures, particularly from Google.

Starwood Property Trust Q2 Preview: All Eyes On Net Lease

Starwood Property Trust Q2 Preview: All Eyes On Net Lease

Starwood Property Trust faces mounting pressure from rising interest expense and underperformance following its net lease acquisition. STWD's distributable earnings have lagged its $0.48/share dividend, with last quarter's $0.39/share miss intensifying dividend sustainability concerns. The net lease portfolio integration remains a wildcard; management hints at a potential spinoff if value cannot be realized internally.
