LPLA's fourth-quarter 2024 results top estimates on the back of an increase in revenues and brokerage and advisory assets. Yet, higher costs are a headwind.
LPL made gains in 2024, but it ended the year soft with a disappointing Q4, which may not bode well for 2025. Revenue increased in a seasonally strong Q4, but operating income still dropped because of weaker ASP compared to last year. The year 2025 is shaping up to be a tough one for a number of reasons, something LPL can do without due to the state of its finances.
LG Display Co., Ltd.'s Q4 and full-year 2024 earnings were underwhelming, with inconsistent growth and profitability, raising concerns about operational efficiency and future performance. Despite a strong Q4, LG Display's financial position remains risky with high debt and fluctuating margins, making it a precarious investment. The outlook for 2025 is uncertain, with potential growth in OLED markets but significant risks from global tariffs and operational inefficiencies.

LPL Financial has been hit with a string of bad news recently. A closer look suggests the flywheel is still spinning. This is a dip worth buying.
LG Display's key P/S and P/B valuation ratios are below their respective historical averages, which indicates that the stock is cheap. I have identified a couple of catalysts for LPL, including an improvement in LCD panel pricing, growing OLED display penetration rates for tablets and notebooks, and deleveraging supported by asset sales. My rating for LG Display is lifted to a Buy, considering the stock's appealing valuations and the presence of multiple catalysts.
