Alcoa's Discount Looks Too Wide
Alcoa is rated Buy, driven by strong cash generation, disciplined capital allocation, and a deep valuation discount versus peers. The South32 asset acquisition boosts AA's alumina capacity by 53% and aluminum by 37%, with $900M in synergy value and immediate accretion to EPS and cash flow expected. AA's pro forma leverage remains manageable (~2x), with $1.4B cash and a flexible financing plan, supporting integration and future capital deployment.

Meituan: Q2 '26 Beat On Temporary Truce; Structural Headwinds Warrant Staying On The Sidelines
Meituan delivered Q2 2026 revenue and earnings above consensus, with core local commerce operating profit reaching RMB 5.6 bn versus consensus RMB 3.4 bn. We maintain a Hold/neutral rating, citing balanced risk-reward as MT faces domestic competition from BABA and slow international scaling of Keeta. The company trades at 16x forward earnings, a slight discount to peers, reflecting structural headwinds: persistent subsidies, regulatory cost volatility, and uncertain margin durability.

American Battery Technology: Its Best Quarter Ever Comes With The Export Door Closed
American Battery Technology remains a Buy, though with reduced conviction, as regulatory risks now outweigh valuation-driven margin of safety. Q4 FY26 results validate ABAT's operating thesis: $8.2M revenue (+5.1% QoQ), $1.3M gross profit (86% QoQ), and 15.9% gross margin exceed bullish KPIs. Federal black mass export ban introduces near-term risk, but ABAT is structurally positioned to benefit from U.S. industrial policy and $201M in grants.
