Newell: Scale And Efficiency Benefits Expected, And Very Undervalued — Positive

NWL   Seeking Alpha — February 12, 2025

Newell Brands' recent debt refinancing was six times oversubscribed, indicating strong investor confidence in the company's new corporate strategy and reorganization efforts. Significant reduction in restructuring expenses and gross margin expansion in 2024 suggest potential free cash flow growth and operational efficiency improvements by 2025.

Energy Transfer CapEx Deja Vu? It May Be Different This Time — Positive

ET   Seeking Alpha — February 12, 2025

Energy Transfer's units are down 3% despite strong FY24 performance, mainly due to concerns over a $5 billion growth CapEx guide. The company's recent M&A, while strategically sound, was a mixed bag as it was primarily funded through issuing new ET units, which, I felt, were undervalued themselves. The FY25 EBITDA guidance increase of $600 million-$1 billion is very strong, as most of the increase is organic and shows ET's strategy is working.
