Find companies with promising cash flow potential yet trading below their fair value.
The recent increase in Lynas Rare Earths' share price could influence the company's positioning in the rare earth market, potentially enhancing its narrative of capitalizing on global supply opportunities. Although the news supported short-term gains, the company's total shareholder return over five years is very large, indicating the potential for sustained growth beyond immediate developments. This long-term performance, particularly when exceeding the Australian market's 5.9% return over the past year, underscores investor confidence in Lynas's strategic initiatives and market expansion efforts.
Lynas's focus on expanding its Heavy Rare Earth Circuit could bolster revenue and earnings forecasts, as analysts predict an average annual revenue growth of 49.4% over the next three years. This strategic focus might mitigate the company's sensitivity to fluctuations in market conditions and support the anticipated increase in profit margins to 35.4%. Despite its current share price of A$10.00 trading above the consensus price target of A$8.54, there remains a close alignment, suggesting a fair valuation as per analyst expectations. Investors should consider this within the broader market context while assessing future financial outcomes.

FTSE 100 falls back after passing 9,000 milestone
The FTSE 100 (^FTSE) closed lower on Tuesday, after briefly topping 9,000, as US inflation figures began to show the impact of tariffs – putting rate cut hopes in doubt. The FTSE 100 index closed down 59.74 points, 0.7%, at 8,938.32. It earlier hit a new all-time peak of 9,016.98 – crossing the 9,000 threshold for the first time. The FTSE 250 (^FTMC) ended down 34.31 points, 0.2%, at 21,690.46, and the AIM All-Share fell 3.02 points, 0.4%, at 771.03. Stocks in New York were mixed at the time of the London close on Tuesday as investors weighed inflation figures, earnings and some good news for chip maker, Nvidia (NVDA). The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) was down 0.6%, the S&P 500 index (^GSPC) was up 0.1%, while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) climbed 0.7%. US consumer price inflation accelerated in line with expectations in June, data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed. The consumer price index rose by 2.7% in June from a year before, as expected by the FXStreet-cited market consensus and picking up pace from 2.4% in May. On a monthly basis, CPI inflation accelerated to a seasonally adjusted 0.3% in June from 0.1% in May. Annual core CPI inflation, which strips out food and energy, accelerated to 2.9% in June, as expected by Bloomberg, from 2.8% in May. Bank of America said the report 'finally provided ample evidence that tariffs are being passed onto consumers'. ING said the slightly softer-than-expected June core inflation reading keeps alive the chances of a September Federal Reserve interest rate cut, but 'the risk is that we get less benign prints for July and August'. 'That means we will need to see clear evidence of softer jobs figures to trigger Fed action before December,' it added. ING thinks the Fed could then cut rates by 50 basis points. Nvidia (NVDA) jumped 4.4% after it said the Trump administration has relaxed restrictions on exporting a key artificial intelligence product designed specifically for the Chinese market, saying it hoped to resume deliveries of its H20 chip 'soon'. The company said 'the US government has assured Nvidia that licences will be granted, and Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon'. Dan Ives, at Wedbush Securities, said it was a 'watershed moment for Nvidia, the AI revolution thesis, and the overall US tech industry'. He called it a 'monster win' for Nvidia and also a 'major bullish tailwind for the tech sector as the green light for Nvidia will propel Street estimates to go up meaningfully over the coming years with China back in the fold'. Investors also weighed US banking earnings which saw gains for JPMorgan (JPM) and Citi (C), while Wells Fargo (WFC) fell after lowering net interest income guidance. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury was quoted at 4.43%, trimmed from 4.44%. The yield on the US 30-year Treasury was quoted at 5.02%, stretched from 4.98%. The pound was quoted at 1.34 dollars at the time of the London equities close on Tuesday. The euro fell against the dollar to 1.16. On the FTSE 100 (^FTSE), Barratt Redrow (BTRW.L) fell 9.1% as planning delays, one-off charges and lower-than-expected sales in the current financial year prompted analysts to forecast double-digit earnings downgrades. 'We expect consensus estimates to be down around 12% to 15% for FY26 on the back of the weak outlets and volume guidance and the incremental exceptional charges on legal liabilities are likely to be a further disappointment,' Citi analyst Ami Galla wrote. In a trading update on Tuesday, Barratt Redrow predicted adjusted profit for the financial year to June 30 in line with market expectations, though home completions fell short of its guidance, and it warned that UK planning reforms are taking longer than hoped to take effect. 'We have seen some improvement in mortgage market competition and availability, but underlying private sales activity has remained sensitive to consumer caution, driven by the economic backdrop and the ongoing affordability challenges faced by homebuyers. The London housing market has been particularly challenging with weak demand from both domestic and international homebuyers,' Barratt Redrow said. For financial 2026, Barratt Redrow anticipates total home completions in a range of 17,200 to 17,800, including around 600 completions from joint ventures. The statement weighed on peers Persimmon (PSN.L), down 2.2%, while Taylor Wimpey (TW.L) slipped 2.5%. Faring better, Experian (EXPN.L) climbed 4.3% after the credit checking agency said revenue in the three months that ended June 30 was up 12% on-year, both at actual foreign exchange rates and constant currency. Experian said that financial services performed 'strongly', with key contributors including new products and 'modestly improved underlying client activity'. Organic revenue growth was 8% at constant currency. The strongest organic revenue rise came in North America, at 9%. In Latin America, organic revenue growth was 5%, while in the Europe, Middle East & Africa and Asia Pacific grouping, it was 7% higher. In the UK & Ireland division, it was 1%. In European equities on Tuesday, the Cac 40 (^FCHI) in Paris closed down 0.5%, as did the Dax (^GDAXI) 40 in Frankfurt. Brent (BZ=F) oil fell to 68.94 dollars a barrel at the time of the London equities close on Tuesday. The biggest risers on the FTSE 100 (^FTSE) were Experian (EXPN.L), up 165.00 pence, at 4,018.00p, WPP (WPP.L), up 5.80p at 420.40p, Polar Capital Technology Trust (PCT.L), up 4.50p at 380.00p, Bunzl (BNZL.L), up 22.00p at 2,298.00p and Associated British Foods (ABF.L), up 18.00p at 2,106.00p. The biggest fallers on the FTSE 100 were Barratt Redrow (BTRW.L), down 39.20p at 377.30p, ConvaTec (CTEC.L), down 14.60p at 244.40p, Fresnillo (FRES.L), down 72.00p at 1470.00p, Endeavour Mining (EDV.L), down 62.00p at 2,244.00p and JD Sports (JD.L), down 2.24p at 83.88p.

What CFOs Need To Know About Policy Changes In Trump's Tax Law
What's bigger than 97% of global economies, total defense spending around the world, and the entire cryptocurrency market? AI chip company Nvidia, writes Forbes' Derek Saul. Last week, the company's valuation hit $4 trillion—it's the first firm to cross that milestone. Nvidia's stock has taken off in the last few years, with its valuation just hitting the $1 trillion mark in 2023. Nvidia owns a whopping 92% of the market for datacenter GPU chips, according to an IoT Analytics report published in January. The company's stock kept on climbing Tuesday morning, hitting a record high with a more than 4% spike after the company said the Trump Administration reversed its decision to ban exports of Nvidia's H20 chip to China. Sale of the chips, which were designed specifically for the Chinese market and had been a top seller for Nvidia, were banned in April. But this growth is about much more than Nvidia, writes Forbes contributor Steven Wolfe Pereira. After all, Nvidia is a hardware company. Investing in hardware is an important first step to developing better and more impactful AI systems, but everything in AI is built on top of it. Nvidia's growth shows that right now is the best time for companies in all industries to dig into their AI development strategies. Companies should look at how their AI capabilities are progressing compared to competitors, work toward AI solutions for your processes, and determine how AI can be used to reshape what you do. After all, Wolfe Pereira writes, the change AI will bring to business is just beginning, and the IDC predicted it will drive an economic transformation worth nearly $20 trillion by 2030. This is the published version of Forbes' CFO newsletter, which offers the latest news for chief finance officers and other leaders focused on the budget.

Container ships docked at the Port of Oakland in Oakland, inflation has stayed lower than expected for the last several months, it's beginning to tick upward. Consumer prices were up 2.7% in June, according to federal government figures released on Tuesday, a month-over-month increase of 0.3%, and a tenth of a percentage point more than economists' predictions. Many of Trump's new tariffs have not yet been enacted and companies and consumers haven't felt their impact, though an analysis released last week by Yale University found that the new import taxes could increase costs for households by about $2,400. UBS analysts project that tariffs could push inflation to 3.9% by the end of the year, but given the uncertainty and volatility around tariff amounts and effective dates, it's been difficult to assess. However, a Reuters/Ipsos survey in late April found that close to nine in 10 consumers are concerned about inflation this year. There's been more tariff-related turmoil in the last week, with the Trump Administration announcing several new effective dates and rates. Rather than starting last week as was previously announced, the bulk of the tariffs have been pushed to start August 1. And Trump says he's increasing the baseline tariff rate on all nations to 15% to 20%, up from 10%. Tariffs announced on specific countries include a 35% rate on Canada, 30% on the EU and Mexico, 25% on South Korea and Japan, and 50% on Brazil because of the country's ongoing prosecution of former leader Jair Bolsonaro, which Trump called an 'international disgrace.' In the last week, Trump also has floated a potential 200% tariff on pharmaceuticals, a 50% tariff on copper and additional 10% tariffs on BRICS nations, which Trump said is an 'Anti-American' bloc. Foreign leaders denounced the tariff announcements as irresponsible and based on inaccurate information, but many have said they will try to continue negotiating. And even though notes from last month's meeting of the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee indicated that many on staff feel an interest rate cut is likely to come later this year, the Trump Administration is already starting the formal procedure to replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Bloomberg. Trump has repeatedly—and unsuccessfully—demanded rate cuts from Powell since his inauguration, sometimes with insulting social media posts. Powell's term leading the Fed is set to expire next May. BIG DEALS Several Kellogg cereals on a grocery store shelf. Lindsey Nicholson/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Images Italian candy maker Ferrero is continuing its mammoth M&A streak, announcing last week its plans to buy famed U.S. cereal maker WK Kellogg for $3.1 billion. WK Kellogg was formed in 2023 when Kellogg split, and includes the company's North American cereal brands. If the deal is approved by investors and regulators, the iconic cereal company would be the largest in a string of at least 21 global acquisitions for Ferrero under Executive Chairman Giovanni Ferrero in the last decade. Forbes' Giocomo Tognini writes that Giovanni Ferrero, who owns more than 75% of the global food giant, has led the company in more than $13 billion worth of acquisitions. This deal, Ferrero's second acquisition of brands that once belonged to the larger Kellogg company (the first was the $1.3 billion purchase of its cookie and fruit snack brands in 2019), could increase Ferrero's annual revenues by 10%. DEEP DIVE What Trump's New Taxation And Policy Law Means For Your Business President Donald Trump shows his signature on the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" at the White House on July 4. BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/POOL/AFP via Getty Images On July 4, Trump's signature budget proposal, dubbed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was signed into law. It's mainly a collection of taxation and financial policies, and could have big implications for businesses. It also happens to be 887 pages long, so there's a lot to digest. Forbes' Kelly Phillips Erb delves into some of the benefits that businesses will see under the bill. The 2017 corporate tax cuts from Trump's first administration were already permanent, so the bill did not need to extend them. However, the new law makes the 20% pass-through deduction for LLCs and S-corporations permanent. It also continues tax exclusions for earnings on the sale of 'qualified small business stock' based on the date it was purchased, and brings back 100% deductions on asset depreciation. Forbes contributor Nathan Goldman also highlights how the new law will impact corporate taxation. Businesses can now immediately expense domestic R&D costs, which is retroactive to December 31, 2021, when this benefit last expired. International R&D costs will still be subject to the current amortization rules. The law also brings back Trump's first-term opportunity zones—areas that will bring significant tax deductions if businesses are located there. Under the new law, a third of all opportunity zones must be in rural areas, but the tax incentive is increased to 30% exclusions of deferred gains—up from 10% in the previous administration. The new law also significantly increases the tax credit for businesses to build an on-site child care facility or contract with a qualified provider, writes Forbes ' Danielle Chemtob. Businesses can now offset 40% of qualified child care expenditures up to $500,000, or 50% up to $600,000 in the case of small businesses. The benefit, which used to be 25% of expenses with a maximum of $150,000 annually, was rarely used.
