Knife River: Low ROIC And Low Margins

Knife River: Low ROIC And Low Margins

Knife River Corporation remains rated Hold due to low ROIC, negative ROIC-WACC spread, and limited multiple expansion potential. Q2 results showed strong 13% revenue growth but margin compression from cost inflation and higher fuel prices, partially offset by 8% price increases. KNF's aggregates segment benefits from local monopolies, but overall industry capital returns remain structurally low versus peers like VMC and MLM.

Datadog stock falls as high bar, cooling bookings offset strong quarter

Datadog Inc (NASDAQ:DDOG) shares tumbled more than 18% on Thursday even after the software company delivered what analysts called a high-quality quarter, as investors focused on decelerating bookings growth and softer-than-expected third-quarter guidance. Datadog's revenue grew 35.6% year-over-year in the second quarter, ahead of the company's 29-31% guidance range and accelerating from 32% growth in the first quarter.
