The Union Pacific Corporation is a key player in U.S. transportation, with a vast network across 23 states, crucial for America's future. The company operates in three segments: Bulk, Industrial, and Premium, with the Industrial segment generating the highest revenue in 2024.

Nu Holdings missed revenue expectations in Q4, with slower customer growth and slight profitability declines. FX headwinds were a major factor, impacting net interest margins and ARPAC. Nu Holdings still has lots of growth ahead, with a less-than-4% market share and a relatively underbanked population in Latin America. Despite short-term issues, Nu maintains a 32% adjusted annualized ROE and has ample capital to deploy, which can help support ROE and net interest margins over time.

The Astoria US Equal Weight Quality Kings ETF focuses on high-quality mid and large U.S. companies using a proprietary quantitative methodology and equal-weight allocation. ROE's valuation is relatively low with a P/E ratio of 17.4x, driven by its mid-cap focus and underweight exposure to high-valuation mega caps. Despite higher EBITDA margins and Return on Equity compared to an equal-weighted Russell 1000 portfolio, ROE's profitability lags behind the market cap-weighted Russell 1000 index.
