ASX 200 zig-zags after US President Donald Trump reveals 25 to 40 per cent tariffs on 14 different countries from August 1
The ASX 200 has zig-zagged on Tuesday after Donald Trump brought down the hammer in the latest move in his mammoth trade war rocking global markets. The index plummeted before slowly climbing and sits up about 0.1 per cent after the first hour of trading. Mineral Resources shed 3.1 per cent after revealing its beleaguered boss Chris Ellison was considering leaving, while Champion Iron has fallen 2.6 per cent and manufacturing company Ansell has sank 2.8 per cent. Top performing stocks on Tuesday include Vault Minerals (up 7.8 per cent), Westgold Resources (up 4.7 per cent) and Bellevue Gold (up 4.5 per cent). It comes as Trump threatened 25 per cent tariffs on Japan and South Korea alongside a litany of other countries from August 1 and vowed to hike the levies if the impacted nations retaliate. 'If for any reason you decide to raise your Tariffs, then, whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 25 per cent that we charge,' Trump said on Truth Social. The tariffs will not add to existing tariffs, meaning Japanese exports targeted by Trump's sweeping 25 per cent levies on steel or automotive parts will only face this tariff rather than jumping to 50 per cent. Trump also plans to impose tariffs of 40 per cent on Laos and Myanmar, 36 per cent on Cambodia and Thailand, 35 per cent of Serbia and Bangladesh, 30 per cent on South Africa, Bosnia and Herzegovina and 25 per cent on Malaysia, Tunisia and Kazakhstan. Wall Street sank on Monday with the Dow Jones and Nasdaq both falling 0.9 per cent and the S&P 500 dropping 0.8 per cent. London's FSTE 250 Index finished down 0.1 per cent, Germany's DAX Index rose 1.2 per cent and the STOXX Europe 600 jumped 0.4 per cent. New Zealand's NZX 50 Index has sank 0.5 per cent while Japan's Nikkei 225 is up 0.2 per cent.

Is There An Opportunity With Ansell Limited's (ASX:ANN) 42% Undervaluation?
The projected fair value for Ansell is AU$52.53 based on 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity Current share price of AU$30.54 suggests Ansell is potentially 42% undervalued Our fair value estimate is 45% higher than Ansell's analyst price target of US$36.17 Today we will run through one way of estimating the intrinsic value of Ansell Limited (ASX:ANN) by taking the expected future cash flows and discounting them to today's value. We will use the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model on this occasion. Before you think you won't be able to understand it, just read on! It's actually much less complex than you'd imagine. Companies can be valued in a lot of ways, so we would point out that a DCF is not perfect for every situation. For those who are keen learners of equity analysis, the Simply Wall St analysis model here may be something of interest to you. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. We use what is known as a 2-stage model, which simply means we have two different periods of growth rates for the company's cash flows. Generally the first stage is higher growth, and the second stage is a lower growth phase. In the first stage we need to estimate the cash flows to the business over the next ten years. Where possible we use analyst estimates, but when these aren't available we extrapolate the previous free cash flow (FCF) from the last estimate or reported value. We assume companies with shrinking free cash flow will slow their rate of shrinkage, and that companies with growing free cash flow will see their growth rate slow, over this period. We do this to reflect that growth tends to slow more in the early years than it does in later years. A DCF is all about the idea that a dollar in the future is less valuable than a dollar today, so we discount the value of these future cash flows to their estimated value in today's dollars: 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 Levered FCF ($, Millions) US$163.9m US$220.1m US$235.6m US$247.5m US$258.4m US$268.6m US$278.5m US$288.1m US$297.6m US$307.1m Growth Rate Estimate Source Analyst x4 Analyst x4 Analyst x4 Est @ 5.04% Est @ 4.41% Est @ 3.97% Est @ 3.67% Est @ 3.45% Est @ 3.30% Est @ 3.20% Present Value ($, Millions) Discounted @ 7.6% US$152 US$190 US$189 US$184 US$179 US$173 US$166 US$160 US$154 US$147 ("Est" = FCF growth rate estimated by Simply Wall St)Present Value of 10-year Cash Flow (PVCF) = US$1.7b The second stage is also known as Terminal Value, this is the business's cash flow after the first stage. The Gordon Growth formula is used to calculate Terminal Value at a future annual growth rate equal to the 5-year average of the 10-year government bond yield of 2.9%. We discount the terminal cash flows to today's value at a cost of equity of 7.6%. Terminal Value (TV)= FCF2034 × (1 + g) ÷ (r – g) = US$307m× (1 + 2.9%) ÷ (7.6%– 2.9%) = US$6.8b Present Value of Terminal Value (PVTV)= TV / (1 + r)10= US$6.8b÷ ( 1 + 7.6%)10= US$3.2b The total value, or equity value, is then the sum of the present value of the future cash flows, which in this case is US$4.9b. The last step is to then divide the equity value by the number of shares outstanding. Relative to the current share price of AU$30.5, the company appears quite good value at a 42% discount to where the stock price trades currently. The assumptions in any calculation have a big impact on the valuation, so it is better to view this as a rough estimate, not precise down to the last cent. Now the most important inputs to a discounted cash flow are the discount rate, and of course, the actual cash flows. Part of investing is coming up with your own evaluation of a company's future performance, so try the calculation yourself and check your own assumptions. The DCF also does not consider the possible cyclicality of an industry, or a company's future capital requirements, so it does not give a full picture of a company's potential performance. Given that we are looking at Ansell as potential shareholders, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate, rather than the cost of capital (or weighted average cost of capital, WACC) which accounts for debt. In this calculation we've used 7.6%, which is based on a levered beta of 1.080. Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility, compared to the market as a whole. We get our beta from the industry average beta of globally comparable companies, with an imposed limit between 0.8 and 2.0, which is a reasonable range for a stable business. View our latest analysis for Ansell Strength Earnings growth over the past year exceeded its 5-year average. Debt is not viewed as a risk. Dividends are covered by earnings and cash flows. Weakness Earnings growth over the past year underperformed the Medical Equipment industry. Dividend is low compared to the top 25% of dividend payers in the Medical Equipment market. Opportunity Annual earnings are forecast to grow faster than the Australian market. Good value based on P/E ratio and estimated fair value. Threat Annual revenue is forecast to grow slower than the Australian market. Valuation is only one side of the coin in terms of building your investment thesis, and it ideally won't be the sole piece of analysis you scrutinize for a company. DCF models are not the be-all and end-all of investment valuation. Instead the best use for a DCF model is to test certain assumptions and theories to see if they would lead to the company being undervalued or overvalued. If a company grows at a different rate, or if its cost of equity or risk free rate changes sharply, the output can look very different. Why is the intrinsic value higher than the current share price?

Davis: Former Regina Pats captain Bill Ansell running short on time to speak with old hockey teammates

Article content Article content Recently retired from 33 years in the Royal Canadian Navy, where he achieved the rank of lieutenant-commander and fittingly enough served on the HMCS Regina, 63-year-old Ansell and Strumm have crossed paths a few times since their final, tumultuous season together with the Pats. Article content Indeed, Strumm was one of the first teammates to call after hearing Ansell was dying from pancreatic cancer.
