X-Fab May Be One Of The More Interesting Foundries In Europe
X‑Fab is a small EU/US analog and power‑semiconductor foundry with niche automotive strength. Heavy CapEx depresses earnings now, but utilization ramp could unlock strong operating leverage.

Nucor: The Q3 Guidance Is Not A Thesis Breaker
Nucor remains the best-run, lowest-cost, and most shareholder-friendly steelmaker, but I maintain a Hold rating, as most positives are priced in. Q2 results were outstanding—$10.4B revenue (+23% Y/Y), $4.84 EPS, and record steel mill shipments—yet Q3 guidance disappointed due to cost pressures, not demand. Valuation sits at a P/E of 20.97 and EV/EBITDA of 11.39, below some peers, with FCF yield improving but still slim versus post-COVID highs.
