KEARNEY, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--THE BUCKLE, INC. REPORTS QUARTERLY DIVIDEND.

I maintain a 'Hold' rating on PagerDuty due to persistent near-term growth challenges and unresolved go-to-market execution issues. While profitability metrics are strong and enterprise traction is improving, revenue growth remains stuck in single digits, with no signs of acceleration. AI investments and deepening partnerships support a more optimistic long-term outlook, but customer retention and sales execution remain headwinds.

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.
