xAI's $113bn valuation will test appetite for Musk's AI-social media gamble — Neutral

MS   Proactive Investors — June 03, 2025

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, is now seeking a valuation of $113 billion in a secondary share sale, just three months after being valued at $80 billion following its merger with social media platform X. That near-30% increase in value, without any public details on revenue, commercial partnerships or a product roadmap, reveals strong appetite from early backers, but whether broader investors will share that enthusiasm is far from certain.

B2Gold: Let The Goose Times Roll — Positive

BTG   Seeking Alpha — June 03, 2025

B2Gold remains undervalued despite its recent rally, trading at a steep discount to peers on a P/NAV basis despite an imminent upgrade in its jurisdictional profile. Aside from a jurisdictional upgrade (Canada vs. Africa and the Philippines), Goose is a transformational asset, set to generate over $400 million in annual mine-site free cash flow. Further, recent reserve reductions at Goose may be ugly on the surface but are a temporary setback, and I expect a significantly improved LOMP in the coming years.

Denny's: The $1 Slam That Could Cost A Fortune — Neutral

DENN   Seeking Alpha — June 03, 2025

Denny's Q1 was rough: same-store sales and traffic declined, margins compressed, and free cash flow stayed negative, pressuring franchisee economics. Aggressive promotions like BOGO are boosting traffic, but risk further margin erosion and may not drive sustainable profitability for franchisees. My fair value estimate is $3.50–$4.50, well below Wall Street's optimistic targets, reflecting weak unit-level returns and ongoing operational headwinds.

image for news Denny's: The $1 Slam That Could Cost A Fortune

UnitedHealth is trading at its lowest valuation in over a decade, presenting a rare opportunity for long-term investors despite recent headwinds. The company's core strengths include a dominant market position, consistent dividend growth, and unmatched scale in US healthcare services. Key risks include a DOJ investigation into earnings practices and political/regulatory pressures, making the near-term outlook uncertain.
