The valuation premium has deflated; at 8x EV/EBITDA, AG's YE27 price target is $21, offering little near-term upside versus consensus.

The Schwab Intermediate-Term US Treasury ETF offers a competitive 0.03% expense ratio and tracks 3-10 year Treasuries with a nearly 5-year duration. Affirmed Fed hawkishness, persistent inflation, and geopolitical uncertainty is rightly impacting the yield curve with upward YTM movements, threatening this duration. AI investment both in the immediate and longer-term is felt unfavorably by this duration as well.

Nvidia: This Fortress Can Withstand The Sentiment Storm
Nvidia Corporation's Q2 FY27 beat-and-raise confirmed exceptional AI demand, but margin pressure, rising supply commitments, and ecosystem financing increase risk.

Long term, Nvidia's full-stack AI platform, rising revenue per gigawatt, and enterprise breadth reinforce its position as core infrastructure for accelerated computing.

FYX has trounced IVV this year, yet its annualized active return over May 2016–July 2026 was negative, and the downside capture ratio was almost 116%.
