A commercial launch gives this biotech something most clinical-stage names lack, while a regulatory decision is now on the calendar. The setup is less about one approval and more about what happens when several catalysts start stacking up.

Keep reading to see why the next few weeks could matter more than the latest quarter.

Dollar Dominance Fades (Sponsored)

The European Central Bank just confirmed it.

Gold: 27% of global reserves. U.S. Treasuries: 22%.

A year ago, those numbers were reversed.

The institutions that print money are quietly trading dollars for gold — at the fastest pace in 50 years.

Bath & Body Works Guides to $650 Million of Free Cash Flow at a $3.6 Billion Valuation

Bath & Body Works Inc. (NYSE: BBWI) trades near $18 after second-quarter revenue reached $1.51 billion and adjusted EPS came in at $0.62, well ahead of expectations. Management also raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $2.60 to $2.80 and lifted expected free cash flow to about $650 million.

The stock trades near 6.7 times the midpoint of adjusted earnings guidance. That $650 million cash-flow outlook equals nearly 18% of the current equity value, so you do not need a return to rapid sales growth for the valuation to start looking unusually compressed.

Operating income improved to $216 million from $157 million, while digital sales returned to growth. The company also pays an $0.80 annualized dividend, giving the shares a yield of roughly 4.4%.

Cash Flow Is Doing More Than Revenue

Sales are still declining, but stronger digital performance and cost control are supporting profitability while management works through weaker store traffic. Your margin of safety comes from the amount of cash the business can still produce at a valuation normally associated with much deeper operational stress.

Debt Explains Part of the Discount

Bath & Body Works carries roughly $3.9 billion of net debt, while Q2 earnings also benefited from about $80 million of tariff refunds. Q3 guidance points to another sales decline and sharply lower earnings, leaving the turnaround dependent on sustained cash generation rather than one unusually strong quarter.

Mining

Centerra Trades at Half of NAV While One Mine May Cover Its Entire Enterprise Value

Centerra Gold Inc. (NYSE: CGAU) trades near $24 after management highlighted a valuation gap at today’s Midwest IDEAS Conference. The company estimates its shares trade around 0.5 times net asset value, compared with roughly 0.7 times for peers.

The discount gets more interesting at the asset level. Management says Mount Milligan alone carries an estimated value roughly equal to Centerra’s entire current enterprise value of about $4.2 billion. You are therefore paying little implied value for Öksüt, Thompson Creek, Goldfield, Kemess, and the rest of the portfolio.

Centerra also holds $450.9 million of cash with no debt, while the stock trades near 7.6 times trailing earnings. Öksüt has generated roughly $780 million of free cash flow since June 2023, adding another operating asset behind the NAV calculation.

More Cash Could Arrive From Thompson Creek

The Thompson Creek molybdenum restart is targeting first production around mid-2027, potentially adding another source of free cash flow. Centerra can fund that development without leaning on a stretched balance sheet while still planning up to $200 million of buybacks this year.

Commodity Prices Still Drive the Asset Math

Centerra’s NAV depends heavily on gold, copper, and molybdenum prices, while new projects still carry execution risk. Strong metals markets have already lifted the shares, so your margin of safety rests on those underlying assets continuing to justify values well above the current market multiple.

Hidden Tax Breaks (Sponsored)

Capital gains taxes may quietly reduce more of your investment returns than you realize.

But the tax code includes several strategies that may help reduce that bill.

Three often-overlooked areas include investment-related expenses, cost basis adjustments, and real estate selling costs.

When structured correctly, these deductions may help minimize taxable gains.

Because the rules can be complex, many investors work with fiduciary financial advisors to plan tax-efficient strategies.

TORM Trades Near 4x Forward Earnings and Below NAV After a $2.40 Dividend

TORM plc (NASDAQ: TRMD) trades near $32.35 after reporting record second-quarter results and raising its 2026 outlook. EBITDA jumped to $416 million from $127 million, while net profit surged to $338 million from $59 million a year earlier.

Management now expects $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion of full-year EBITDA, putting the company near 3.8 times the midpoint at today’s enterprise value. The shares also sit below TORM’s reported $36.50 per-share NAV, giving you another valuation anchor beyond the unusually low earnings multiple.

TORM added a $2.40 quarterly dividend, equal to roughly 7.4% of the current share price in a single payment. Around 70% of 2026 earning days are already fixed at an average rate above $45,000 per day.

Fleet Value Backs Up the Earnings

TORM estimates its 97-vessel fleet is worth about $4.06 billion, helping support a consolidated NAV of $3.74 billion. With the stock roughly 11% below that level, your downside case is not based solely on whether today’s tanker profits continue indefinitely.

Tanker Rates Can Change the Math Quickly

Q2 freight rates benefited from Middle East disruptions and shifting oil trade flows, pushing fleetwide rates sharply higher. A normalization in tanker pricing would cut earnings and dividends, so the current four-times multiple needs to be viewed against a highly cyclical profit base rather than treated as permanently cheap.

Actionable Picks This Week

Regeneron (NASDAQ: REGN)

Regeneron secured FDA approval for a therapy for fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, only the second approved treatment for that ultra-rare bone disorder, and is following it with a Phase 3 study in children and adolescents that extends the label beyond adults.

That approval sits on top of the Dupixent and Eylea HD franchises, which already fund one of the deepest late-stage platforms in large-cap biotech. What you are buying here is multiple independent shots on goal rather than a single binary event, with further regulatory decisions still queued for the back half.

That structure is what separates a diversified biotech from a lottery ticket, and it is why the setup reads cleaner than most names in the sector.

Ionis Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: IONS)

Ionis is running a commercial launch in severe hypertriglyceridemia while carrying a September PDUFA date for a separate rare disease candidate, which gives you a product on the market and a regulatory catalyst in the same name.

The cardiology conference in Munich at the end of this month brings one-year data plus early data on a next-generation follow-on with potential for far less frequent dosing. Recent open market buying by a director adds conviction to a setup that already has two dated events attached.

This is a mid-cap RNA platform with revenue rather than a pure clinical story, which changes the risk profile considerably.

Mirum Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: MIRM)

Mirum trades at a meaningful discount to a widely followed fair value estimate, and the pullback has widened that gap rather than closing it.

The rare disease growth story around its lead commercial product remains intact, with steady prescription execution rather than a single approval event driving results.

This suits you if you would rather own consistent commercial delivery than sit through binary regulatory outcomes. The cushion between price and estimated fair value is the margin you are being handed on entry.

September Catalyst Approaches (Sponsored)

The last time this firm did this, it skyrocketed overnight.

Now – backed by a $51 billion backlog, a SpaceX partnership, and President Trump’s ringing endorsement – the gains could be even bigger.

Fast Movers to Watch

  • Qiagen (NYSE: QGEN) Qiagen sells sample preparation and molecular testing technologies, and a recent selloff pushed it to a mid-teens discount against fair value estimates with an above-average quality score.

    Sample technologies are consumables businesses, which means recurring revenue rather than lumpy instrument cycles. No insider transactions over the past year, so there is no conviction signal either way to lean on.

  • Ross Stores (NASDAQ: ROST) Ross beat on the most recent quarter and raised full-year guidance, sending shares sharply higher. Off-price retail benefits when the consumer trades down, which makes the current macro a tailwind rather than a headwind.

    The raised guide is what matters most, because management rarely lifts full-year numbers in August without visibility into the holiday.

  • dLocal (NASDAQ: DLO)  dLocal processes payments in markets where global companies face local currency, card acceptance and repatriation hurdles, and an airline-owned payments network selected it as a processing partner across Latin America, Africa and Southeast Asia.

    Its model takes a cut of cross-border payment volume, so rising flows can drive operating leverage as the platform scales. Watch processed volume on the next quarterly report for evidence that the new airline flows are gaining traction.
