$Realty Income(O)$$NNN REIT INC(NNN)$$Simon Property(SPG)$ Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have experienced a significant decline in recent weeks. On average, they've dropped by about 13%, with individual REITs like Realty Income falling by over 20%. The primary reason behind this sell-off is the growing uncertainty about future inflation. As a result, the Federal Reserve (FED) has decided to pause its rate cuts for the time being. Until now, the investment thesis for REITs was largely based on expectations of rate cuts. The assumption was that REITs had dropped due to rate hikes, and thus, they should rebound once rates were reduced. However, with fewer rate

These Middle East Growth Stock Is Under Value To Grab?
$Yalla Group(YALA)$ I recently added this stock to my portfolio watch list because I believe it has significant potential. It’s currently trading near its cash value, has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 5, and insiders own 43% of the shares. The company in question is Yalla Group, primarily operating in North Africa and the Middle East. They specialize in social networks and gaming apps.

With only $1 million in debt, the company is essentially trading below its cash value. Although revenue growth has slowed, it remains positive, and earnings per share (EPS) are surging.

Evolution Ab Stock is a Buy! STO: EVO, US: EVVTY + Buying Strategy
$Evolution AB(EVVTY)$ Good day, fellow Tiger Evolution enthusiasts. Evolution Gaming stock has been one of the most requested topics for me to analyze over the past few years. I’ve received countless emails and inquiries about this online gambling software maker. While it’s not typically the kind of business I focus on, as Howard Marks often says: It’s not what you buy; it’s what you pay that counts. Good investing isn’t just about purchasing quality assets—it’s about buying them at the right price. No asset is so exceptional that it can’t become overpriced and risky, nor is any asset so flawed that it can’t become a bargain at the right price. With Evolution AB now more than 60% below its 2021 peak, is it a bargain? The answer appears to be yes—
