Ziff Davis (ZD) looks inexpensively valued relative to its cash flow and enterprise value. After selling its Connectivity division for $1.2B, management can materially accelerate buybacks and debt paydown. With FCF of $316.7M and EV at roughly $1.15B, the stock is a clear value trade for a disciplined long-term position — entry $54.95, stop $48.00,…

Pelagos Insurance (PLGO) pulled back after a politically driven underwriting hit tied to Iran exposures. The sell-off looks disproportionate to the firm's balance-sheet strength: market cap ~$2.08B, P/E ~6.5 and P/B ~0.93, with a 2.45% yield.

Traders and investors now await furthe…

Trade plan provided for a long-term core position with precise entry, stop, a…
