The article discusses how supply bottlenecks during technological revolutions can lead to significant investment opportunities. It highlights a past supply shortage during the dot-com boom that resulted in substantial gains for mining stocks due to increased demand for critical materials like copper and tin. The author, Eric Fry, draws parallels to the current AI revolution, suggesting that similar dynamics are emerging, creating potential for investors to capitalize on resource shortages. The piece also mentions an upcoming event, FutureProof 2026, where these ideas will be explored further.

USA Rare Earth (USAR) has gained attention due to mixed share performance, with a recent price of $19.46. The stock shows a 7-day return of 11.52% and a 30-day return of 10.61%. Analysts suggest a fair value of $38.60, indicating it may be undervalued. The company's future growth hinges on its LCM acquisition and expansion plans, which could influence revenue and manufacturing costs. Investors are advised to weigh risks and rewards, considering the company's pre-revenue status and regulatory challenges.

Glencore (GLEN) indicates that a coal rally and weaker iron ore prices from Rio Tinto may revive merger discussions, which previously stalled over valuation issues. Australian funds have raised governance concerns, which Glencore dismissed as a minority view. Any potential merger would require significant shareholder and government approvals. Additionally, a four-hour strike occurred at Glencore's Townsville copper refinery amid ongoing pay negotiations, with unions threatening further action if terms are not improved.

TINC (ENXTBR:TINC) reported FY 2025 H1 results with revenue of €32.6 million and EPS of €0.50, down from €34.7 million and EPS of €0.50 in FY 2024 H1. Despite a high net margin of 62.5%, a one-off loss of €13.6 million raises concerns about earnings reliability. The stock trades at a P/E of 13.4x, below industry averages, suggesting it may be attractively valued, but faces challenges like a 5.16% dividend not fully covered by free cash flow and shareholder dilution.

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group's exit from PLS Group's share register has led to a reassessment of the company's valuation. PLS Group's current share price is A$4.89, with a significant 1-year total shareholder return of 168.68%. However, the prevailing narrative suggests the fair value is around A$3.00, indicating it may be overvalued. The company's diversification strategy aims to reduce risk and support long-term growth, but future earnings depend on lithium price recovery and project success. Investors are encouraged to weigh the evidence and explore other investment opportunities.

Stagflation, characterized by slowing economic growth and rising inflation, is a growing concern among economists and portfolio managers in early 2026. February's nonfarm payrolls showed a decline of 92,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%. Crude oil prices exceeded $100 per barrel due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The IMF warns that sustained energy price increases could significantly impact global inflation. Asset allocation strategies must adapt, as both equities and bonds may decline in stagflation, making real assets like commodities and TIPS more attractive.
