IWD: U.S. Value Price Right, Eyes On Earnings Growth — Positive

IWD   Seeking Alpha — May 22, 2025

Upgrading IWD to a hold rating, due to emerging relative strength in value and cyclical sectors, despite stretched valuation. Potential outperformance hinges on value stocks' earnings growth converging with the Magnificent Seven and the US avoiding recession. IWD trades at a P/E above its historical average, with financials as the largest sector, and mixed technical/seasonal signals near $190 resistance.

Las Vegas Sands: Growth And Value In One - Buy — Positive

LVS   Seeking Alpha — May 22, 2025

I am bullish on Las Vegas Sands due to its strong presence in high-growth markets like Macao and Singapore, supporting a buy recommendation. LVS demonstrates financial resilience, robust cash flow, and liquidity, enabling continued development and shareholder returns through dividends and buybacks. The company is undervalued relative to its peers, with a forward P/E of 17.12x and strong fundamentals, offering significant upside potential to my $68.50 price target.

VHT Looks Attractive, And Risks May Be Overestimated — Neutral

VHT   Seeking Alpha — May 22, 2025

Healthcare stock valuations are struggling to rise due to political risk and scandals, but this could create attractive entry points for long-term investors. And the reason lies in the bearish narrative surrounding two of the sector's leaders: UNH and LLY. Among healthcare ETFs, VHT stands out in my view as the most representative of the sector, in terms of performance, risk, and costs.

Rumors Of Diageo's Death Appear Greatly Exaggerated — Positive

DEO   Seeking Alpha — May 22, 2025

Diageo's stock is significantly down from its 2021 highs, but its premium brands and strong margins remain intact, despite stagnant growth and high debt. The current valuation is historically attractive, trading at a discount at only 17.7x earnings and 3x sales, making it appealing for long-term investors. Concerns about Gen Z drinking less are overstated; premium brands like Guinness and Don Julio continue to drive organic growth and long-term value.

VTC: Intermediate Duration Corporate Bond Fund, Ultra-Low Expense Ratio — Negative

VTC   Seeking Alpha — May 21, 2025

VTC offers broad, investment-grade corporate bond exposure with a low expense ratio, but is overweight BBB credits and has a 6.7-year duration. Current credit spreads and rates are not attractive for entry; spreads are near historic lows and rates may move structurally higher due to inflation and deficits. We expect VTC to become attractive only after a significant widening in credit spreads, ideally above 150-200 bps, or during a recession scenario.
