The new Crucial X10 1TB Portable SSD just got a 41% price drop
Crucial only launched its latest entrant to the SSD market last month, so we thought it would be some time before we saw a significant price drop on it. However, with Prime Day just around the corner, the Crucial X10 1TB Portable SSD just plunged by 41% in this Amazon deal. Crucial X10 1TB Portable SSD for $81.99 ($58 off) It almost goes without saying that the markdown represents an all-time low price on the storage device, and similar savings are reflected on other variants. For instance, if you opt for the larger storage of the 2TB model, a 46% discount currently has it down from $250 to only $134.99. This SSD packs a punch for its size. It offers fast read speeds of up to 2,100MB/s, making quick work of large file transfers, whether you're moving game installs, backing up photos, or editing videos on the go. This 1TB drive is built for everyday life and travel with its compact matte blue design, IP65 water and dust resistance, and drop protection from nearly ten feet. Thanks to its USB-C and USB-A compatibility, it works across an extensive range of devices such as laptops, desktops, gaming consoles, and tablets. You get a USB-C to C cable in the box and bonus software perks like three months of Mylio Photos Plus and Acronis True Image when you register.

At US$157, Is It Time To Put Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. (NYSE:SSD) On Your Watch List?
Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. (NYSE:SSD), is not the largest company out there, but it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the NYSE. Shareholders may appreciate the recent price jump, but the company still has a way to go before reaching its yearly highs again. As a well-established company, which tends to be well-covered by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company's outlook is already priced into the stock. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let's take a look at Simpson Manufacturing's outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. The stock seems fairly valued at the moment according to our valuation model. It's trading around 15% below our intrinsic value, which means if you buy Simpson Manufacturing today, you'd be paying a reasonable price for it. And if you believe that the stock is really worth $183.84, then there isn't much room for the share price grow beyond what it's currently trading. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that Simpson Manufacturing's share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility. View our latest analysis for Simpson Manufacturing Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let's also take a look at the company's future expectations. Though in the case of Simpson Manufacturing, it is expected to deliver a relatively unexciting earnings growth of 8.0%, which doesn't help build up its investment thesis. Growth doesn't appear to be a main reason for a buy decision for Simpson Manufacturing, at least in the near term. Are you a shareholder? SSD's future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven't considered today, such as the track record of its management team. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value? Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping an eye on SSD, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook means it's worth further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
