| 14.07.25 15:40:03 | AKZOY or AIQUY: Which Is the Better Value Stock Right Now? |  |
| Investors looking for stocks in the Chemical - Diversified sector might want to consider either Akzo Nobel NV (AKZOY) or Air Liquide (AIQUY). But which of these two stocks offers value investors a better bang for their buck right now? We'll need to take a closer look. Everyone has their own methods for finding great value opportunities, but our model includes pairing an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system with a strong Zacks Rank. The proven Zacks Rank puts an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, while our Style Scores work to identify stocks with specific traits. Akzo Nobel NV has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while Air Liquide has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now. This means that AKZOY's earnings estimate revision activity has been more impressive, so investors should feel comfortable with its improving analyst outlook. But this is just one piece of the puzzle for value investors. Value investors also tend to look at a number of traditional, tried-and-true figures to help them find stocks that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels. Our Value category grades stocks based on a number of key metrics, including the tried-and-true P/E ratio, the P/S ratio, earnings yield, and cash flow per share, as well as a variety of other fundamentals that value investors frequently use. AKZOY currently has a forward P/E ratio of 13.96, while AIQUY has a forward P/E of 27.14. We also note that AKZOY has a PEG ratio of 0.77. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company's expected EPS growth rate. AIQUY currently has a PEG ratio of 2.45. Another notable valuation metric for AKZOY is its P/B ratio of 2.36. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock's market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, AIQUY has a P/B of 3.96. These metrics, and several others, help AKZOY earn a Value grade of B, while AIQUY has been given a Value grade of D. AKZOY has seen stronger estimate revision activity and sports more attractive valuation metrics than AIQUY, so it seems like value investors will conclude that AKZOY is the superior option right now.

| 11.07.25 08:55:34 | Brookfield, Stonepeak and Air Liquide shortlisted for Macquarie's $3.6 billion S. Korean gas firm, sources say | |
| By Kane Wu and Yantoultra Ngui SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Macquarie Asset Management has shortlisted Brookfield Asset Management, Stonepeak and French gas supplier Air Liquide for the final bidding round for South Korean industrial gas firm DIG Airgas, three people with knowledge of the matter said. Binding bids for South Korea's third largest industrial gas producer are expected to come in around the end of July or early August, the sources said, declining to be named as the information is confidential. Macquarie has hired Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan to run the sale, which could fetch up to $3.6 billion, Reuters reported in June. Macquarie, Air Liquide, Brookfield, Stonepeak, Goldman and JPMorgan declined to comment. If successful, the deal would be the largest investment in South Korea for Brookfield or Stonepeak, both of which have a heavy focus on the infrastructure sector. Brookfield in 2022 acquired SK Airplus, a gas production facility supplying SK Hynix, the world's second largest memory semiconductor manufacturer. New York-based Stonepeak does not have an industrial gases portfolio in Asia, its website shows. Paris-based Air Liquide has been in South Korea since 1996, supplying gases to a wide range of industries, including chemical, construction, food and beverage, medical, petrochemical, and refineries, its website says. Seoul-headquartered DIG Airgas has about $170 million to $180 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA), and Macquarie expects a sale to value the firm at 18-20 times core earnings, a source has told Reuters previously. Established in 1979, DIG Airgas produces industrial gases, electronic gases and gas equipment, according to its website. Macquarie bought the company, formerly known as Dausung Industrial Gases, from South Korean private equity firm MBK Partners for 2.5 trillion won ($1.85 billion) in 2019, local media reported at the time.
