GS Fundstrat's Tom Lee Calls Ethereum ‘Operating System' for Tokenized Finance Future
Ethereum (ETH) should be understood less as a speculative ‘coin' and more as the ‘operating system' for next-generation finance, Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee told attendees at WebX 2026 in Tokyo on Monday, arguing that the network could become the settlement backbone for stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, and emerging AI-driven commerce.
Ivanhoe Electric: The Risk-Reward Ratio Is Improving
Ivanhoe Electric (IE) now offers a compelling risk-reward profile after its correction below $9, with a 'buy' rating justified by asset value and copper market dynamics. Copper remains in a secular bull market, with projected long-term deficits supporting IE's core thesis and the value of its Santa Cruz project. Santa Cruz's pre-feasibility NPV of $1.4 billion at $4.25/lb copper exceeds IE's enterprise value, offering deep value and U.S. domestic supply premium potential.

Applied Digital: Riding The Data Center Wave Before It Gets Crowded
Applied Digital receives a Buy rating, driven by robust triple-digit revenue growth and strong future demand signals. APLD is positioned as a significant beneficiary in the data center market, which may still be in its early innings. Despite substantial appreciation and not being the cheapest data center play, I see no structural concerns undermining the bullish thesis.

AI boom replaces oil as key inflation risk, says Barclays
Artificial intelligence is emerging as an unexpected source of inflationary pressure, complicating the US Federal Reserve's battle against rising prices even as oil markets have calmed, according to Barclays. The bank argues that while investors had been focused on the fading impact of the Iran-related oil shock, the bigger story is that inflation has become broader and more persistent.

Biohaven: Nice Pipeline Momentum, But Its Runway Is A Risk
Biohaven's pipeline is now more focused after having to narrow down its R&D efforts to other assets. Today, I think opakalim's pivotal epilepsy readout is probably the most important near-term catalyst that could validate their pipeline. They also have interesting, albeit early, positive findings with BHV-1300 and BHV-1400 for their degrader platform.

Compass Minerals: Why I Think The Market Is Mispricing The Recovery
Compass Minerals International is rated Buy with a fair value range of $31–$36, reflecting 4–21% upside from current levels. Significant deleveraging, net leverage down from 4.6x to 2.7x, and S&P credit upgrade, positions CMP for multiple expansion. Salt cost normalization and Plant Nutrition margin gains are key forward catalysts; Salt's counter-cyclical cash flows enhance CMP's relative appeal.

Arbutus Biopharma: Moderna Validates My IP Bull Case
Arbutus Biopharma is now much better capitalized after Moderna validated the value of its LNP patents. As for ABUS' in-house assets, I think Imdusiran has shown durable viral control. The main caveat is that it comes from combo therapies. Their balance sheet gives them a comfortable runway to pursue imdusiran's upcoming Phase 2b trial, which is yet another optionality vertical for the stock.
