Facebook Wounds Self-Inflicted, Margin Guidance Issued to Ease Political Pressure
Social media giant Facebook released disappointing operating-margin guidance for the next couple years during its second quarter earnings call, and shares were promptly crushed. We are putting the company’s fair value estimate under review with expectations of a modest downward revision, but we think the company has the ability to absorb growing expenses and capital spending, both of which are almost completely under its control.

PayPal on the Move to $125?

FERC Clarifies MLP Tax Changes
Image shown: The prices of MLPs have collapsed since mid-June 2015 as the stock market has surged. The status quo for many MLPs looks to be restored, though that doesn’t mean MLPs are out of the woods. We continue to expect many to transition to corporates in coming years, and the idea of consolidation/buyouts may bring new investor capital to the space.

Digital Realty Remains Acquisitive, Well-Positioned
Image shown: The performance of Digital Realty Trust's stock since the beginning of 2016. The data center REIT continues to be on the acquisition hunt, and momentum in its business couldn’t be stronger, in our opinion. Its debt levels are elevated, but not unlike that of other REITs that are dependent on the external capital markets. We continue to like the strength of Digital Realty’s end market and think the REIT is fundamentally well-positioned to capture increased demand.
