    We came across a bullish thesis on FMC Corporation on DeepValue Capital’s Substack. In this article, we will summarize the bulls’ thesis on FMC. FMC Corporation's share was trading at $13.84 as of December 1st. FMC’s trailing and forward P/E were 30.22 and 5.92 respectively according to Yahoo Finance.

    hedgehog94/Shutterstock.com

    FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC) is a global agricultural chemical company specializing in herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, known for its strong research pipeline and deep intellectual property moat. Following a 75% stock decline from 2022 highs amid a destocking cycle and weaker pricing, the company now trades at historically low valuation levels, presenting a potential turnaround story. FMC’s destocking headwinds appear to be easing as product use on farms has surpassed distributor sales in recent quarters, signaling inventory normalization.

    Its innovation-led model—anchored by patented molecules such as Rynaxypyr® and Cyazypyr®—and new products like Fluindapyr, Isoflex™, and Dodhylex™ support a path toward renewed growth, especially as markets like Brazil and Latin America expand. The company is also divesting its low-margin India commercial business to reallocate capital toward higher-return opportunities while establishing a direct-to-grower sales model in Brazil. With biologicals growing over 20% annually and favorable industry tailwinds tied to global food demand, FMC is well-positioned for a cyclical rebound.

    Financially, FMC maintains a strong balance sheet with manageable maturities beginning only in 2029 and ample liquidity. Management aims to reduce leverage while sustaining a 7%+ dividend yield. Historical returns on capital have been robust, with a median ROIC near 17%. Risks remain tied to commodity cycles, competitive pressures, and execution of new initiatives, but the destocking recovery, new product launches, and balance sheet strength underpin the upside case. Based on management’s 2027 targets and normalized free cash flow assumptions, fair value estimates suggest potential appreciation toward $75–$80 per share—implying nearly 2.5x upside from current levels.

    Previously we covered a bullish thesis on Corteva, Inc. (CTVA) by Business Model Mastery in May 2025, which highlighted the company’s strong patent portfolio, digital ecosystem, and margin-rich biologicals. The company’s stock price has appreciated approximately by 7.66% since our coverage. This is because the thesis played out amid resilient IP-driven growth. The thesis still stands as agricultural innovation remains durable. DeepValue Capital shares a similar view but emphasizes FMC’s turnaround from destocking and innovation-led recovery.

    FMC Corporation is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 43 hedge fund portfolios held FMC at the end of the second quarter which was 38 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the potential of FMC as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

    We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.

    What Is Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile Worth?

    The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to our valuation model. It’s trading around 7.1% below our intrinsic value, which means if you buy Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile today, you’d be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe the company’s true value is $67.85, then there’s not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile’s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company’s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.

    It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Archer Daniels Midland (ADM). Shares have added about 6.2% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.

    Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is ADM due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for Archer Daniels Midland Company before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

    ADM Q3 Earnings Beat Estimates, Revenues Increase 2.2% Y/Y

    Archer Daniels Midland posted third-quarter 2025 results, wherein the top line fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate but increased year over year. Meanwhile, earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate but declined from the same period last year.Adjusted earnings of 92 cents per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 89 cents. However, the figure decreased from adjusted earnings of $1.09 per share in the year-ago quarter. On a reported basis, Archer Daniels’ third-quarter earnings were 22 cents per share, up from 4 cents in the year-ago quarter.Revenues gained 2.2% year over year to $20.4 billion, but missed the consensus estimate of $20.7 billion. Segment-wise, revenues for Ag Services & Oilseeds increased 3.5% year over year to $15.6 billion, while Carbohydrate Solutions’ revenues decreased 5.9% year over year to $2.7 billion. Nutrition’s revenues rose 4.6% year over year to $1.92 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segments’ revenues was pegged at $15.7 billion, $2.9 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. Revenues from Other Business are flat at $109 million compared with the figure in the prior-year period.The gross profit decreased 7% year over year to $1.3 billion, while the gross margin stood at 6.2%. Selling, general and administrative expenses declined to $873 million from $905 million in the year-ago quarter.Archer Daniels reported adjusted segmental operating profit of $845 million, down 19% from the year-ago quarter. The company has a trailing four-quarter return on invested capital of 6.7% on an adjusted basis.

    ADM’s Segmental Operating Profit

    Adjusted operating profit for Ag Services & Oilseeds dropped 21% year over year to $379 million. The Ag Services subsegment’s operating profit rose 78%, driven by higher export activity in North America and improved results in South America. This quarter included $4 million in net positive mark-to-market (MTM) impacts, versus $50 million in net negative impacts a year earlier.The Crushing subsegment’s operating profit plunged 93% year over year on lower margins resulting from muted demand tied to the deferral of U.S. biofuel policy and international trade challenges. There were about $41 million of net positive mark-to-market timing impacts in the quarter against zero of net negative impacts in the year-ago quarter.Refined Products and Other operating profit was down 3% from the prior year, as biodiesel and refining margins were affected by the delayed biofuel policy, weighing on North American demand. The quarter included $8 million in net negative MTM impacts, versus $20 million in the prior-year period. Equity earnings from the company’s investment in Wilmar decreased by approximately 10% from the prior-year quarter.The Carbohydrate Solutions segment posted an operating profit of $336 million in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting a 26% decline from the year-ago period. Operating profit in the Starches & Sweeteners subsegment also fell 36% due to lower global S&S demand, which pressured both volumes and margins. The subsegment also continued to face higher corn costs in EMEA stemming from corn quality issues, further weighing on profitability.Global wheat milling performance remained relatively stable versus the prior-year quarter, though last year’s results had benefited from $47 million in insurance proceeds, amplifying the year-over-year comparison. Vantage Corn Processors posted a $46 million increase in operating profit, supported by strong export flows and elevated pricing amid lower industry inventory levels caused by plant downtime from maintenance programs.The Nutrition segment reported an operating profit of $130 million in the third quarter of 2025, marking a 24% increase from the same period last year. Operating profit in the Human Nutrition subsegment gained 12% year over year. Within this segment, Flavors saw profit growth, driven by higher margins, particularly in North America. The Health & Wellness category also contributed to the increase, benefiting from stronger biotics demand.Meanwhile, the Animal Nutrition subsegment posted an operating profit of $34 million, marking a 79% year-over-year upsurge, fueled by margin expansion from a strategic focus on higher-value product lines and continued portfolio streamlining and cost optimization initiatives.

    Archer Daniels’ Other Financials

    The company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $1.24 billion, long-term debt, including current maturities, of $7.6 billion, and shareholders’ equity of $22.5 billion. As of Sept. 30, 2025, ADM generated $5.77 billion in cash from operating activities. It paid out dividends of $743 million during the nine months of 2025. For 2025, based on performance over the first nine months of the year and current expectations regarding the timing of anticipated benefits from favorable biofuel policy developments and the evolution of global trade dynamics, the company has revised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance. Adjusted earnings are now expected to be in the range of $3.25 to $3.50 per share, compared to the previous guidance of approximately $4.00.

    How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?

    In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates revision.

    The consensus estimate has shifted -13.16% due to these changes.

    VGM Scores

    At this time, ADM has a great Growth Score of A, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with a D. However, the stock was allocated a score of A on the value side, putting it in the top quintile for value investors.

    Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of A. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

    Outlook

    Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. It's no surprise ADM has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.

    Performance of an Industry Player

    ADM belongs to the Zacks Agriculture – Operations industry. Another stock from the same industry, FMC (FMC), has gained 1.8% over the past month. More than a month has passed since the company reported results for the quarter ended September 2025.

    FMC reported revenues of $961.3 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -9.8%. EPS of $0.89 for the same period compares with $0.69 a year ago.

    For the current quarter, FMC is expected to post earnings of $1.26 per share, indicating a change of -29.6% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +2% over the last 30 days.

    The overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions translate into a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for FMC. Also, the stock has a VGM Score of D.

    About Minnova Corp.

    Minnova Corp. is a near term gold producer focused on the restart and expansion of its 100%-owned PL Gold Mine in the prolific Flin Flon Greenstone Belt of Central Manitoba. The project is situated on a past-producing mine site and benefits from significant existing infrastructure, including a 1,000 tpd processing plant and valid underground mining permit (Environment Act License 1207E).

    A positive 2018 Feasibility Study, based on an underground development plan and a gold price of US$1,250 per ounce, outlined a robust 5-year mine life with an annual production rate of 46,493 ounces. Considering current high gold price Minnova is revising the mine development plan to prioritize lower-cost open pit mining methods for the initial years of production before transitioning to underground methods. The new mine plan leverages the full 1,000 tpd mill capacity and targets reduced operating costs compared to the previous underground-only model. The revised mine development plan is underway and will be the subject of a Preliminary Economic Assessment and Feasibility Study to be completed in 2026.

    The current global gold resource remains open to expansion, as does the reserve. The Mineral Resource Estimate will be revised in 2026, using current consensus gold price assumption and will incorporate all drilling conducted after the 2018 Feasibility Study, including the upcoming 15,000-meter drill program scheduled for 2025 and 2026.

    A bulk freighter was carrying more than a load of fluorspar when it pushed out of the St. Lawrence, Nfld., harbour in August, since it also signalled Canada Fluorspar Inc. had become North America’s only producer of a key mineral at a time when industries in Canada and the United States are scrambling for non-Chinese supply.

    Chief executive and chair Willem Jacobs said restarting the company’s open pit mine could produce enough ore and jobs to last 30 years.

    “It’s very seldom that you find industrial minerals with a mine life this long,” he said while on his way to the project site in southeast Newfoundland from South Africa this week. “The mineralogy is pretty consistent. There are other mines (worldwide) with higher grades, but they have other problems.”

    The only other fluorspar mine owner in North America is Ares Strategic Mining Inc., which is in the process of restarting its Sheep Mine in Utah. Most producers shut down years ago as buyers switched to importing the mineral used to make everything from aluminum to lithium-ion batteries.

    The project produces acid-grade fluorspar (acidspar), a high-purity form of the mineral. So far this year, Canada Fluorspar has processed and shipped about 8,500 tonnes to an unnamed, but well-known U.S. client.

    Acidspar is an essential material for technology, industrial and defence supply chains. Global supply is tight, with China accounting for about 80 per cent of production, but it has cut exports in the past year, prompting countries such as Canada and the United States to seek domestic supplies.

    Fluorspar was among 12 minerals added to the federal government’s list of critical minerals in this year’s budget, which also set aside $2 billion for a critical minerals sovereign fund to support Canadian projects. It provides equity investments, loan guarantees and offtake agreements to help develop domestic mining and processing capacity.

    Jacobs said he’s looking into the supports, but so far does not believe his company qualifies. Meanwhile, he’s trying to raise $100 million.

    “It will probably be a primary investor and a co-investor,” he said, adding he’d also like the government to be on board. “The reaction is slow, but I’m confident we can work something out. Government moves more slowly than the private sector, but that’s the correct approach because they don’t want to replace private money.”

    The St. Lawrence mine went into receivership in 2022, leaving a trail of unpaid bills. Jacobs bought the assets in 2023, some 30-plus years after the former Barrick Mining Corp. chief operating officer became interested in fluorspar back, reviewing global supplies in South Africa, China and elsewhere.

    In June that year, the court approved the $25‑million sale of the company’s assets to Fluorspar Holdings Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of South African-based African Minerals Exploration & Development Funds Sicar SCA. Jacobs is now the majority owner.

    He said there are now about 270 people employed on the project, but there is significant work to be done before production can reach full scale.

    “We’re busy mining and there’s a lot of waste that has to be removed,” he said. “The previous owners mined themselves into a corner.”

    The old owners took shortcuts to get the best ore out quickly, leaving less valuable material that must be cleaned before proper mining can be resumed, Jacobs said, adding the mine’s geology is “world class.”

    Canada Fluorspar is spending about $4 million a month to get enough ore ready for its plant. The plan is to reach full production of about 180,000 tonnes of acidspar concentrate in 2027. He’s projecting production of more than 100,000 tonnes in 2026.

    The U.S. is expected to be the primary market for the company’s fluorspar given its proximity, he said. Other potential markets include Europe, India and Japan.

    Jacobs has more than 30 years of experience in global mining and industrial minerals. Before Barrick, he held leadership roles at Randgold Resources Ltd. and Imerys SA, and has led large-scale operations across Africa and the Middle East, overseeing complex projects involving exploration, mine development and operational restructuring.

    But his job now is to manage and revive the St. Lawrence mine, and he believes his vast experience and technical know-how are things the previous owner lacked.

    “Your on-site technical capabilities have to be very substantial. To process fluorspar, you need to get all of your recovery; otherwise, you’re not going to make money,” he said. “If you want to look at where things went wrong, it was the absolute lack of technical knowledge. It’s atrocious the technical decisions that were made.”

    Upgrades have been made so that all ships will be loaded at the site’s port rather than being trucked to another port. Jacobs said he hopes to add an underground mine in a few years.

    The fluorspar mine is hugely important for St. Lawrence since it once employed around 250 people. Jacobs hopes there will be jobs for 300.

    “I can tell you now it’s going to be the basis of a global industry,” he said. “First of all, it’s important for Newfoundland and this town. Ninety per cent of the employees come from the town and the Burin Peninsula.”

    As far as he’s concerned, there are only two industries that can turn countries around, and that’s mining and oil and gas.

    “They build hospitals, they built roads, they have enormous economic engines,” he said.

    Zacks Investment Research

    A month has gone by since the last earnings report for FMC (FMC). Shares have lost about 10.2% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

    But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is FMC due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.

    FMC’s Q3 Earnings Increase, Sales Decline on Lower Prices

    FMC reported a loss of $4.52 per share for third-quarter 2025. This compares unfavorably to earnings of 52 cents in the year-ago quarter.Barring one-time items, adjusted earnings per share were 89 cents, up from 69 cents reported a year ago.Revenues were $542 million in the quarter, down around 49% from the year-ago quarter’s levels. Excluding India, revenues were $961 million, down 10%.Third-quarter revenues decreased primarily due to one-time commercial actions taken in India to position the business for sale. Excluding that, third-quarter revenues still witnessed a decline of 10% from the prior-year quarter due to a 6% decrease in price from the decline linked to price reductions in specific "cost-plus" contracts with certain diamide partners, reflecting lower manufacturing costs and the other half stemmed from competitive pressure. The volumes in the core portfolio also decreased due to increased competition.

    Regional Sales Performance

    In North America, sales increased 4% year over year to $244 million in the quarter. Sales in North America increased as a result of price gains in branded products and higher volume, including Adastrio fungicide based on fluindapyr. It topped the consensus estimate of $225 million.

    Latin American sales saw an 8% year-over-year decrease to $463 million in the reported quarter. Sales in Latin America suffered from increased pressure from generics, leading to lower volume and price decline of branded products. It missed the consensus estimate of $516 million.In Asia, excluding India, revenues declined 47% from the previous year to $99 million. Sales declined due to lower pricing, the removal of India and reduced volumes. It missed the consensus estimate of $153 million.EMEA experienced an 11% year-over-year sales increase to $155 million in the reported quarter. The growth was fueled by significant volume increases, especially in the growth portfolio from branded Cyazypyr offerings. The successful launch of Isoflex in Great Britain also drove sales. It lagged the consensus estimate of $158 million.

    Financials

    The company had cash and cash equivalents of $497.7 million at the end of the quarter. Long-term debt was roughly $3.27 billion.

    Q4 Guidance

    FMC expects fourth-quarter revenues (excluding India) to range between $1.12 billion and $1.22 billion, implying a 4% decline at the midpoint compared to 2024. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted between $265 million and $305 million, indicating a 16% decline at the midpoint. Adjusted earnings per share are projected to be $1.14 to $1.36, indicating a 30% year-over-year decrease at the midpoint.

    How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?

    Since the earnings release, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates review.

    The consensus estimate has shifted -27.57% due to these changes.

    VGM Scores

    At this time, FMC has a poor Growth Score of F, however its Momentum Score is doing a bit better with a D. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock has a score of C on the value side, putting it in the middle 20% for value investors.

    Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of F. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

    Outlook

    Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. It's no surprise FMC has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.

    FMC

    Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆

    Overview: FMC is a global agricultural sciences company that provides innovative solutions for crop protection, with a market cap of approximately $13.50 billion.

    Operations: FMC’s revenue is primarily derived from its Innovative Solutions segment, with recent figures showing a gross profit margin of 38.15%. The company has experienced fluctuations in net income margin, which reached -13.80% in the latest period ending September 2025. Operating expenses and non-operating expenses have been significant cost components affecting profitability over time.

    PE: -3.5x

    FMC, a smaller player in the U.S. market, recently reported a challenging third quarter with sales dropping to US$542.2 million from last year’s US$1.07 billion and a net loss of US$569.3 million compared to prior profits. Despite these setbacks, insider confidence is evident as key figures have been purchasing shares throughout 2025, signaling potential optimism for future growth prospects amid expected earnings growth of 66% annually. However, funding remains risky due to reliance on external borrowing, and dividend reductions reflect ongoing financial adjustments.

    FMC Share price vs Value as at Nov 2025Herbalife

    Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆

    Overview: Herbalife is a global nutrition company that develops and sells dietary supplements, weight management products, and personal care items, with a market capitalization of $1.46 billion.

The company experienced fluctuations in its gross profit margin, which was 50.51% in late 2014 and shifted to 45.28% by mid-2025. Operating expenses primarily consist of general and administrative costs, consistently forming a substantial part of the company’s expenditures over time.

    PE: 4.3x

    Herbalife, a company with a strong presence in the nutrition industry, is navigating challenges amidst its small cap status. Recent insider confidence was evident as they increased their shareholdings over the past quarter, signaling potential optimism about future prospects. Despite earnings forecasted to decline by 2.5% annually over three years and interest payments not well covered by earnings, Herbalife’s Liftoff product line continues to thrive in the growing US$41.4 billion energy drink market projected for 2033. The company’s recent expansion into new flavors and its investment of US$7 million in a new research facility highlight ongoing efforts to innovate and maintain quality standards. However, external borrowing remains their primary funding source, which carries higher risk compared to customer deposits.

    – Unique opportunity offers potential to accelerate mineralization models, drill targeting, scale & grade knowledge base

    VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / November 24, 2025 / Apex Critical Metals Corp. (CSE:APXC)(FSE:KL9)(OTCQX:APXCF) ("Apex" or the "Company"), a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the identification and development of critical and strategic metals, is pleased to announce that it has commenced an extensive 2025 re-sampling and re-logging program of historical drill core from the Rift Rare Earth Project, located near Elk Creek, Nebraska, USA.

    The historical drill programs were completed during the 1970s and 1980s by Molycorp Inc., and a substantial portion of the drill core, and sample material have been preserved and are available for modern analysis.

    The Company has retained Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. to oversee the program. Dahrouge previously completed similar verification and re-sampling work for Quantum Rare Earth Developments Corp. in 2010-2011, which supported the first modern NI 43-101 Technical Reports for the Elk Creek district. Apex's 2025 work will include re-logging of drillholes and the selection of samples for multi-element analysis. All samples will be analyzed by Actlabs using modern Fusion ICP-MS, ICP-OES and XRF. Initial results are expected during the first quarter of 2026.

    Apex CEO, Sean Charland, states: "We are grateful to the Conservation and Survey Division, School of Natural Resources, University of Nebraska-Lincoln for ensuring the preservation of the historical Molycorp material. Having access to this material is a tremendous resource to draw from and our 2025 re-logging and re-sampling program initiative at Rift will provide a modern analytical foundation for understanding the scale and grade potential of the system."

    The results of this work will support Apex's ongoing geological interpretation and modelling of the Rift carbonatite system, which is host to significant rare earth element ("REE") and niobium mineralization. The Rift Project covers a series of carbonatite and related intrusive rocks which form part of the broader Elk Creek district, a region known to contain high-grade REE and niobium mineralization at depth.

    Historical drilling by Molycorp identified multiple zones of REE- and niobium-bearing carbonatite within the boundaries of Apex's current holdings at Elk Creek though these results pre-date NI 43-101 and are therefore non-compliant with current reporting standards. Apex is not treating the historical results or estimates as current mineral resources or reserves.

    Qualified Person

    The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Nathan Schmidt, P. Geo., Geologist for Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 on standards of disclosure for mineral projects.

    The results discussed in this document are considered historical. An Apex Critical Metals Corp. qualified person has not performed sufficient work or data verification to validate these historical results in accordance with NI 43-101, and therefore results should not be relied upon until such time that the Company has carried out its own sampling, drilling and modern analysis.

    About Apex Critical Metals Corp. (CSE: APXC) (OTCQX: APXCF) (FWB: KL9)

    Apex Critical Metals Corp. is a Canadian exploration company focused on advancing rare earth element (REE) and niobium projects that support the growing demand for critical and strategic metals across the United States and Canada. The Company's flagship Rift Project, located within the highly prospective Elk Creek Carbonatite Complex in Nebraska, U.S.A., hosts extensive rare earth rights surrounding one of North America's most advanced niobium-REE deposits. Historical drilling across the complex has reported broad intervals of high-grade REE mineralization, including intercepts such as 155.5 m of 2.70% REO and 68.2 m of 3.32% REO.

    In Canada, Apex continues to advance its 100%-owned Cap Project, located 85 kilometres northeast of Prince George, British Columbia. The 2025 drill program confirmed a significant niobium discovery with 0.59% Nb₂O₅ over 36 metres, including 1.08% Nb₂O₅ over 10 metres, within a 1.8-kilometre-long niobium trend. The Cap Project continues to demonstrate strong potential for niobium mineralization within a large and previously unrecognized carbonatite system.

    With a growing portfolio of critical mineral projects in both Canada and the United States, Apex Critical Metals is strategically positioned to help strengthen domestic supply chains for the minerals essential to advanced technologies, clean energy, and national security. Apex is publicly listed in Canada on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the symbol APXC and quoted on the OTCQX market in the United States under the symbol APXCF, and in Germany on the Borse Frankfurt under the symbol KL9 and/or WKN: A40CCQ.

    Australian Ethical Investment

    Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★★

    Overview: Australian Ethical Investment Ltd is a publicly owned investment manager with a market cap of A$807.55 million, focusing on ethical and sustainable investment strategies.

    Operations: Australian Ethical Investment generates revenue primarily through its funds management segment, reporting A$119.38 million in revenue.

    Australian Ethical Investment, a notable player in the ethical investment space, has demonstrated impressive growth. Over the past year, earnings soared by 75%, significantly outpacing the Capital Markets industry average of 5.8%. The company reported net income of A$20.2 million for the fiscal year ending June 2025, up from A$11.53 million previously. With no debt on its books and positive free cash flow standing at A$24 million as of September 2024, it appears well-positioned financially. Despite a recent dividend increase to A$0.09 per share, potential risks include integration challenges and increased operating expenses impacting future margins.

    ASX:AEF Debt to Equity as at Sep 2025Helia Group

    Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆

    Overview: Helia Group Limited operates in the loan mortgage insurance industry primarily in Australia and has a market cap of A$1.56 billion.

    Operations: Helia Group Limited generates revenue of A$559.63 million from its loan mortgage insurance business in Australia.

    Helia Group, a notable player in the Australian financial landscape, faces headwinds with significant client losses and policy shifts. The exit of major clients like Commonwealth Bank signals potential revenue volatility, while the government’s Home Guarantee Scheme could limit premium growth. Despite these challenges, Helia’s earnings grew 19% last year, outpacing the industry’s -3%. However, its debt to equity ratio rose from 14% to 19% over five years. Recent executive changes include CFO Michael Cant stepping in as interim CEO. With a share price at A$5.93 against a target of A$3.87, market sentiment remains cautious amid forecasted revenue declines.

    ASX:HLI Debt to Equity as at Sep 2025Ricegrowers

    Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆

    Overview: Ricegrowers Limited is a rice food company with operations spanning Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and North America; it has a market capitalization of approximately A$1.01 billion.

    Operations: Ricegrowers Limited generates revenue primarily from its International Rice segment, contributing A$860.96 million, and the Rice Pool segment with A$481.87 million. The Cop Rice and Riviana segments add A$250.64 million and A$231.14 million, respectively, while the Rice Food segment brings in A$132.53 million.

    Ricegrowers, a dynamic player in the food industry, is leveraging its position through strategic international expansions and product diversification. With earnings growing at 23% annually over five years and trading 47% below estimated fair value, the company seems undervalued. Its net debt to equity ratio of 31% is satisfactory, ensuring financial stability while covering interest payments effectively with a 6.8x EBIT coverage. Despite facing competition and operational hurdles like yield fluctuations and cost inflation, Ricegrowers’ focus on agritech investments aims to boost efficiency and quality. The stock’s current trading price of A$14.16 aligns closely with analysts’ target of A$14.00.

    Following the solid earnings report from Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (JSE:IMP), the market responded by bidding up the stock price. While the profit numbers were good, our analysis has found some concerning factors that shareholders should be aware of.

    Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

    JSE:IMP Earnings and Revenue History September 4th 2025The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit

    To properly understand Impala Platinum Holdings' profit results, we need to consider the R219m gain attributed to unusual items. While we like to see profit increases, we tend to be a little more cautious when unusual items have made a big contribution. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. Assuming those unusual items don't show up again in the current year, we'd thus expect profit to be weaker next year (in the absence of business growth, that is).

    That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates.

    Our Take On Impala Platinum Holdings' Profit Performance

    We'd posit that Impala Platinum Holdings' statutory earnings aren't a clean read on ongoing productivity, due to the large unusual item. Therefore, it seems possible to us that Impala Platinum Holdings' true underlying earnings power is actually less than its statutory profit. The good news is that it earned a profit in the last twelve months, despite its previous loss. Of course, we've only just scratched the surface when it comes to analysing its earnings; one could also consider margins, forecast growth, and return on investment, among other factors. So while earnings quality is important, it's equally important to consider the risks facing Impala Platinum Holdings at this point in time. For example – Impala Platinum Holdings has 1 warning sign we think you should be aware of.

    Today we've zoomed in on a single data point to better understand the nature of Impala Platinum Holdings' profit. But there are plenty of other ways to inform your opinion of a company. For example, many people consider a high return on equity as an indication of favorable business economics, while others like to 'follow the money' and search out stocks that insiders are buying. So you may wish to see this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks with high insider ownership.

    As the Canadian economy navigates a period of contraction, with GDP shrinking by 1.6% in the second quarter, market participants are closely watching for potential easing from the Bank of Canada. In this context, penny stocks—though often seen as relics from past market eras—remain relevant due to their affordability and growth potential, especially when backed by strong financials. For investors seeking opportunities in smaller or newer companies, these stocks can offer a unique combination of value and growth that larger firms may not always provide.

The debt-to-equity ratio has risen to 1% over five years but remains manageable given their cash position surpasses total debt levels.

    A month has gone by since the last earnings report for FMC (FMC). Shares have added about 0.7% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

    But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is FMC due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for FMC Corporation before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

    FMC's Earnings Surpass Estimates in Q2 on Higher Volumes

    FMC reported earnings of 53 cents per share for second-quarter 2025, down from $2.35 in the year-ago quarter.Barring one-time items, adjusted earnings per share were 69 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 59 cents.Revenues were roughly $1.05 billion in the quarter, up around 1.2% from the year-ago quarter’s levels. The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $965.4 million.Second-quarter revenues increased primarily due to a 6% rise in volume, as customers in most countries seemed to have reached their desired inventory levels for FMC products. Prices fell 3%, with more than half of the decline linked to price reductions in specific "cost-plus" contracts with certain diamide partners, reflecting lower manufacturing costs. Foreign exchange rates negatively impacted results by 1%. Sales from the company’s growth portfolio rose by a high single-digit percentage, while sales from the core portfolio remained largely unchanged.

    Regional Sales Performance

    In North America, sales declined 5% year over year to $321 million in the quarter. Sales in North America decreased, as strong growth in branded products in the United States was outweighed by reduced volumes in Canada due to anticipated inventory destocking. It topped the consensus estimate of $294.1 million.Latin American sales saw a 1% year-over-year increase to $310 million in the reported quarter. Sales in Latin America benefited from the strong growth of the new active ingredients, fluindapyr and Isoflex active. It beat the consensus estimate of $296.1 million.In Asia, revenues declined 17% from the previous year to $159 million. Sales in Asia declined due to lower pricing as well as reduced volume driven by ongoing destocking activity in India. It missed the consensus estimate of $163.7 million.EMEA experienced a 29% year-over-year sales increase to $260 million in the reported quarter. The growth was fueled by significant volume increases, especially in herbicides, products from diamide partners and branded Cyazypyr offerings. The Plant Health segment also expanded, supported by growth in biological products. It beat the consensus estimate of $223.6 million.

    Financials

    The company had cash and cash equivalents of $438.2 million at the end of the quarter. Long-term debt was roughly $3.27 billion.

    Guidance

    FMC expects full-year revenues (excluding India) to range between $4.08 billion and $4.28 billion, implying a 2% decline at the midpoint compared to 2024. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted between $870 million and $950 million, indicating 1% growth at the midpoint. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) are projected to be $3.26 to $3.70, indicating a year-over-year no change at the midpoint.

    How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?

    In the past month, investors have witnessed a upward trend in fresh estimates.

    VGM Scores

    Currently, FMC has a nice Growth Score of B, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with a C. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock has a grade of B on the value side, putting it in the top 40% for value investors.

    Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of A. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

    Outlook

    Estimates have been trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. Interestingly, FMC has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

    TORONTO, Aug. 29, 2025 /CNW/ – Bravo Mining Corp. (TSXV: BRVO) (OTCQX: BRVMF), ("Bravo" or the "Company") announces that it is restating its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (the "Restated FS"), along with a corresponding restated management's discussion and analysis (the "Restated MD&A"), to reflect non-cash accounting adjustments identified during the preparation of its second-quarter 2025 financial review and after questions identified during an Ontario Securities Commission staff review. All amounts are in United States Dollars (USD) unless stated otherwise.

    The Company identified that Bravo Mineração Ltda.'s ("Bravo Mineração") (which has a functional currency of Brazilian Reals (BRL)) non-monetary assets in Brazil were not correctly translated from Bravo Mineração's functional currency to the Company's presentation currency (USD) at the closing rate as of the date of the respective consolidated financial statements, as required by IAS 21, "The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates". The correction of the translation differences resulted in corrections to the exploration and evaluation assets; property, plant and equipment; and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (and associated subtotals and totals) on the consolidated statements of financial position and exchange differences on translating foreign operations and comprehensive loss for the year on the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. These differences did not impact the Company's monetary assets and liabilities, net loss for the year, net loss per share or the consolidated statements of cash flows.

    The restatement reflects a technical correction with no effect on the Corporation's financial health or performance.

    In accordance with IAS 8, "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors", Bravo filed the Restated FS and Restated MD&A under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ immediately prior to the filing of its Q2 2025 results. The Company notes that, given its more recent filing of its Q2 2025 results, it has elected not to restate the consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (the "Q1 2025 Results") at this time. The Q1 2025 Results were impacted by the same non-cash foreign exchange accounting issue, and accordingly should not be relied upon.

    Most readers would already be aware that Impala Platinum Holdings' (JSE:IMP) stock increased significantly by 22% over the past three months. However, we decided to pay attention to the company's fundamentals which don't appear to give a clear sign about the company's financial health. Particularly, we will be paying attention to Impala Platinum Holdings' ROE today.

    Return on equity or ROE is a key measure used to assess how efficiently a company's management is utilizing the company's capital. In short, ROE shows the profit each dollar generates with respect to its shareholder investments.

    We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.

    How Do You Calculate Return On Equity?

    ROE can be calculated by using the formula:

    Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity

    So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Impala Platinum Holdings is:

    0.7% = R707m ÷ R97b (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2025).

    The 'return' is the yearly profit. So, this means that for every ZAR1 of its shareholder's investments, the company generates a profit of ZAR0.01.

    Check out our latest analysis for Impala Platinum Holdings

    Why Is ROE Important For Earnings Growth?

    So far, we've learned that ROE is a measure of a company's profitability. We now need to evaluate how much profit the company reinvests or "retains" for future growth which then gives us an idea about the growth potential of the company. Assuming all else is equal, companies that have both a higher return on equity and higher profit retention are usually the ones that have a higher growth rate when compared to companies that don't have the same features.

    Impala Platinum Holdings' Earnings Growth And 0.7% ROE

    It is quite clear that Impala Platinum Holdings' ROE is rather low. Even when compared to the industry average of 6.4%, the ROE figure is pretty disappointing. Given the circumstances, the significant decline in net income by 53% seen by Impala Platinum Holdings over the last five years is not surprising. We believe that there also might be other aspects that are negatively influencing the company's earnings prospects. For instance, the company has a very high payout ratio, or is faced with competitive pressures.

    However, when we compared Impala Platinum Holdings' growth with the industry we found that while the company's earnings have been shrinking, the industry has seen an earnings growth of 4.5% in the same period. This is quite worrisome.

    JSE:IMP Past Earnings Growth August 29th 2025

    Earnings growth is an important metric to consider when valuing a stock. The investor should try to establish if the expected growth or decline in earnings, whichever the case may be, is priced in. Doing so will help them establish if the stock's future looks promising or ominous. What is IMP worth today? The intrinsic value infographic in our free research report helps visualize whether IMP is currently mispriced by the market.

    Is Impala Platinum Holdings Efficiently Re-investing Its Profits?

    While the company did payout a portion of its dividend in the past, it currently doesn't pay a regular dividend. This implies that potentially all of its profits are being reinvested in the business.

    Summary

    Overall, we have mixed feelings about Impala Platinum Holdings. Even though it appears to be retaining most of its profits, given the low ROE, investors may not be benefitting from all that reinvestment after all. The low earnings growth suggests our theory correct. Having said that, looking at current analyst estimates, we found that the company's earnings growth rate is expected to see a huge improvement.

    PL Gold Mine: Poised for Advancement

    The PL Gold Mine is an advanced-stage development project with significant existing infrastructure, including a 1,000 tonnes-per-day (tpd) processing plant, over 7,000 meters of underground ramp development, and a valid underground mining permit.

    Planning for technical programs at the PL Gold Mine continues to advance with a focus on a revised mine development plan based on the full 1,000 tpd mill capacity, which prioritizes lower-cost open pit mining methods in the initial years of operation. In addition to surface exploration and infill drilling, the Company believes updated metallurgical test work to include ore sorting and gravity recovery studies could have a positive impact on the project by potentially increasing grades, improving recovery, and lowering processing costs.

    The work programs planned for 2025 and 2026 will help to advance the PL Gold Mine and inform a future feasibility study to be completed in 2026. Key development activities will include:

    • Diamond drilling to expand resources and upgrade reserves.

    • An updated Mineral Resource Estimate.

    • A revised mine development plan prioritizing open pit mining.

    • Updated metallurgical test work.

    • An updated, comprehensive Feasibility Study.

    A&B Global Mining Scope of Work

    ABGM will initially manage the project's technical advancement in two distinct stages:

    Stage 1: Mining Concept Development

    This initial stage will establish the foundational data and models required for advanced engineering and economic studies. Key deliverables include:

    • An audited and signed-off drilling database.

    • Updated geological and resource models.

    • A NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate.

    • A comprehensive internal mining concept study report.

    • A detailed roadmap for Stage 2.

    Stage 2: Class 3 Feasibility Study

    Following the successful completion of Stage 1, ABGM will undertake a full Feasibility Study to Class 3 engineering standards. This stage will provide the detailed engineering and financial analysis required for a financial analysis and a future production decision. Key deliverables include:

    • Detailed mining design and layout (open pit and underground).

    • A 3D mine plan and schedule.

    • Mine engineering and infrastructure layout.

    • Basic engineering.

    • A NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Reserves Estímate.

    • Detailed capital and operating cost estimates and financial models.

    • A final NI 43-101 Technical Report and Feasibility Study.

    Mr. Glenn concluded, "The structured, two-stage approach being executed by ABGM is precisely what is needed to move the PL Gold Mine forward. ABGM will ensure highest QA/QC standards in data collection and analysis and will provide a high-quality, independent technical validation of the PL Gold Mine project required to secure development funding and execute on our vision of restarting the mine. We look forward to working closely with the ABGM team and updating our shareholders as we achieve key milestones."

    About Minnova Corp.

    Minnova Corp. is focused on the restart of its PL Gold Mine and completed a positive Feasibility Study in 2018, based on a gold price of US$1,250 per ounce. The study concluded the restart of the PL Gold Mine, at an average annual production rate of 46,493 ounces over a minimum 5-year mine life, was economically robust. Importantly the global resource remains open to expansion, as does the reserve. The PL Gold Mine benefits from a short pre-production timeline forecast at 15 months, a valid underground mining permit (Environment Act 1207E), an existing 1,000 tpd processing plant, over 7,000 meters of developed underground ramp to -135 metres depth.

    Generation Development Group

    Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆

    Overview: Generation Development Group Limited focuses on the marketing and management of life insurance and life investment products and services in Australia, with a market cap of A$2.70 billion.

    Operations: GDG generates revenue through its life insurance and life investment products and services in Australia. The company’s market cap stands at approximately A$2.70 billion.

    Generation Development Group, a nimble player in the Australian life insurance and investment sector, reported a substantial leap in net income to A$38.25 million for the year ending June 2025, up from A$5.84 million previously. Earnings per share also rose to A$0.1163 from A$0.0301, reflecting strong performance despite recent shareholder dilution concerns. With no debt on its books and positive free cash flow of approximately A$8 million as of June 2025, GDG is poised for growth with strategic acquisitions like Evidentia enhancing its market position amid demographic shifts favoring annuity products. However, integration risks and potential policy changes present challenges ahead.

    ASX:GDG Debt to Equity as at Aug 2025Kina Securities

    Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★☆☆

    Overview: Kina Securities Limited operates as a provider of commercial banking, financial services, fund administration, investment management, and share brokerage in Papua New Guinea with a market capitalization of A$401.43 million.

    Operations: Kina Securities generates revenue primarily from its Banking & Finance segment, which contributed PGK 441.25 million, and Wealth Management, adding PGK 50.19 million. The company reported a net profit margin of 26%, indicating efficient cost management relative to its revenue streams.

    Kina Securities, a financial entity with PGK5.4 billion in assets and PGK680.3 million in equity, offers an intriguing mix of potential growth and challenges. With 95% of its liabilities from low-risk customer deposits, the company has a solid funding base despite high bad loans at 7.7%. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 9.4x is attractive compared to the market average of 19x, indicating good value for investors seeking opportunities in smaller companies. However, a low allowance for bad loans at 27% could pose risks amidst rising operational costs and volatile revenue streams from multinational clients impacting profitability stability.

    ASX:KSL Earnings and Revenue Growth as at Aug 2025Zimplats Holdings

    Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆

    Overview: Zimplats Holdings Limited is involved in the production of platinum and associated metals in Zimbabwe, with a market capitalization of A$1.74 billion.

    Operations: Zimplats Holdings generates revenue primarily from its metals and mining segment, specifically gold and other precious metals, totaling $826.59 million. The company’s financial performance is influenced by its ability to manage costs associated with the production of these metals.

Despite a challenging five-year period where earnings declined by 42% annually, recent results reflect resilience with net income climbing to US$40.5 million from US$8.22 million last year.
