S&P Global As A Retirement Compounder: Manageable Drawdowns, Reliable Returns
I view S&P Global (SPGI) as a long-term retirement asset, ideal for 5-10 year horizons with stable compounding potential. Historical data shows SPGI consistently delivers annualized returns above 10% over most 5-year periods, supporting my thesis of capital preservation. SPGI is not a hypergrowth stock, but its steady growth and market-linked optionalities make it a reliable wealth creator.
Freightos: Global Freight Can Be The Next Booking.Com
Freightos is significantly undervalued, with potential for the price to double within 12 months and deliver a 5x return over five years as revenue continues to grow by 25% YoY. The company will replicate Booking.com's model in global freight. Freightos continual execution on key metrics including transaction volume, carrier additions and unique buyer users demonstrates network effects which will propel revenue growth.
Park Aerospace - Undiscovered Beneficiary Of Increased Global Defense Spending
Park Aerospace stands to benefit from surging global defense spending and NATO's push for higher military budgets. The company is a sole and key supplier of critical composite materials for major missile systems, including the Patriot PAC-3 and Israel's Arrow4, and is being qualified for Arrow3. One of the many orders the company is currently negotiating is worth 60% of its annual revenues and expansion plans are insufficient to meet rising demand.
Adtalem Global Education Sells Below Its Fair Value
Adtalem Global Education remains a buy due to strong enrollment, profit growth, and a clear strategy focused on healthcare and vocational education demand. Recent results show 13% revenue growth, nearly 10% higher enrollment, and a 28% surge in adjusted EPS, supporting a fair value of $122. The price can potentially hit $140. Risks include insider selling, no dividend, and a rising debt-to-equity ratio, but institutional ownership and manageable debt provide confidence.
Wendy's: Revenue Expansion Likely Due To Aggressive Global Expansion Plans
In 1Q25, WEN generated $523.4 million, representing a decline of 2% year-on-year. Although operating margin improved slightly, net income margin plunged due to higher interest expenses and investment losses. To navigate out of the WEN's topline deterioration, the company has introduced multiple initiatives and strategies (e.g. 100 Days of Summer) to promote growth and expand revenue capacity. WEN is still a free cashflow powerhouse that consistently return value to shareholders. WEN's cost saving initiatives such as digital boards and AI-order taking may further increase FCF margin.
DiDi Global: Dominant Market Position With Visible Upside Optionality
I rate DiDi Global a buy, as it has turned the corner on profitability and is positioned for multi-year margin expansion. DiDi's dominant ride-hailing moat in China and accelerating financial momentum provide a powerful profit engine and visible cash flow. Autonomous driving is a strong catalyst, with commercial rollout expected by 2025, unlocking significant margin upside and widening the addressable market.
Venture Global proposes larger expansion at Plaquemines LNG facility, filing shows
Venture Global wants to expand its Plaquemines LNG export facility by 24.8 million metric tons per annum (mtpa), almost 6 mtpa more than it originally proposed just four months ago, according to a regulatory filing issued late on Monday.
Global Gold Miners ETF: Solid Potential Amid Rising Gold Prices
The Global Gold Miners ETF offers amplified exposure to rising gold prices, capturing upside through top mining companies that can convert each extra dollar of gold into significantly higher operating. It provides global diversification with high-quality miners, including leaders from North America, Africa, and Asia, helping to reduce geopolitical and operational risks while maintaining strong sector exposure. The fund is designed for efficient growth participation, with low fees, strong liquidity, and a focused portfolio where nearly 70% of assets are allocated to 10 proven industry leaders.
Should You Invest in Global or International ETFs?
Outside of the investing world, the terms “global” and “international” are generally used as synonyms for each other, describing the same fundamental premise. However, when investing, these terms convey two significantly different approaches to gaining overseas exposure.
Global Net Lease: A Little Work Goes A Long Way
Global Net Lease has long suffered from a flawed, acquisition-heavy business model, leading to poor shareholder returns and multiple dividend cuts. Recent management changes, asset sales, and a dividend reduction have improved GNL's balance sheet and earned a credit rating upgrade from S&P. Despite these positive steps, significant cash flow declines from asset dispositions make another dividend cut highly likely in the near term.
Global Ship Lease: Attractive Yield Likely To Increase Further
GSL remains an attractive buy, supported by strong Q1 results, a robust contract backlog, and continued fleet optimization. The company boasts a rock-solid financial position, low leverage, and a rising dividend yield near 7.8%, with further increases likely. Risks include potential share dilution and sector-specific headwinds, but long-term contracts and conservative management mitigate major threats.
