FLQM ETF: There Are Better Ways To Play U.S. Mid-Caps — Negative
FLQM Seeking Alpha — March 27, 2025FLQM, an actively managed mid-cap ETF, underperforms its benchmark and charges higher fees compared to passive peers like IVOO and MDY. The fund's portfolio has a slightly higher weighting on consumer discretionary and industrials, but lacks significant differentiation. FLQM's risk-adjusted returns are weak, with a Sharpe ratio of 0.34, and its beta suggests alignment with the benchmark's volatility.

UnitedHealth Group: Will 2025 Finally Be A Normal Year? — Negative
UNH Seeking Alpha — March 27, 2025UnitedHealth Group has shown unparalleled resiliency, growing adjusted earnings by over 10% despite facing significant headwinds, making it a 'Buy' at historical lows. The company endured a tough period with regulatory scrutiny, higher utilization rates, a cyberattack, and the tragic shooting of a key executive. Q4 marked a bottom for growth and profitability, with revenues of $101 billion and adjusted EPS of $6.74, showing mixed segment profitability.

Getty Realty excels in a challenging real estate market with high occupancy rates, strong FFO and AFFO growth, and favorable debt maturities extending to 2028. The REIT's tenant mix, primarily in convenience stores and auto services, ensures stable income, though EV adoption poses long-term risks. Getty's strong financials, including a 6.2% dividend yield and potential for further growth through acquisitions, make it an attractive investment.

MCHI: If This Is A 'Mean Reversion', I'm Choosing Chinese Equities — Positive
MCHI Seeking Alpha — March 27, 2025MCHI, with over $6B in AUM, remains a competitive option for gaining exposure to the Chinese large-cap equity market. The S&P 500 seems to be undergoing a mean reversion process, which, in my view, could benefit Chinese equities. From the analysis of P/E ratios and EPS, one can derive a potential upside for both markets—and according to my calculations, China still offers value.

The Freedom 100 Emerging Markets ETF uses a "freedom-weighted" strategy to outperform traditional market-weighted EM funds by excluding regimes like China and Russia. FRDM's methodology filters 24 emerging market countries based on liquidity, market cap, and freedom scores, resulting in a diversified portfolio of around 100 stocks. The fund's higher volatility is offset by its positive upside and downside capture, making it suitable for aggressive investors seeking targeted EM exposure.

The technicals are overall net bullish, especially for the near term as Ares Capital's stock has rebounded and the EMAs and indicators look promising. Most recent earnings are unconvincing, as EPS declines and weakening investment performance per share show a shaky business. Meanwhile, the P/B ratio has shown multiyear expansion and is at above average levels, signalling overvaluation relative to the fundamentals.

Chewy Is Inching Closer To A Buy After Its Sales Acceleration — Positive

The company is expecting 6-7% revenue growth in FY25 (adjusted for a 53-week year in FY24), which is a stronger growth rate than in FY24. At the same time, we have yet to see how the latest macroeconomic turmoil will impact Chewy's sales. Pet owners may decide to trade down to cheaper brands.
