Mesoblast Retires Senior Debt with Non-Dilutive, Lower Cost, Five-Year Credit Line

12/29/2025 06:57 PM • Mesoblast Limited announced it has repaid its senior secured loan from Oaktree Capital Management and partially repaid its subordinated royalty facility from NovaQuest Capital Management by drawing US$75 million from a new five-year facility provided by shareholder Dr Gregory George. The company has an option to draw an additional US$50 million by June 30, 2026. The new facility features a fixed 8.00% interest rate (lower than existing debt), no early prepayment fees, and does not encumber material assets or intellectual property.

MESO - The company successfully refinanced its debt at a substantially lower interest rate (8.00% vs. higher existing rates), eliminated early prepayment penalties, freed up major assets for strategic partnerships, and secured additional capital flexibility with an option to draw up to US$50 million more. These are favorable financial developments that improve the company's capital structure and operational flexibility.

ASML Holds Premium Valuation as Semiconductor Capex Momentum Carries Into 2026

12/29/2025 03:51 PM • ASML trades at $1,066 with a 37.4x P/E multiple, justified by its near-monopoly in EUV lithography and strong semiconductor capex growth expected through 2026. While China revenue normalization poses a near-term headwind, core customers like TSMC, SK hynix, and Micron are projected to grow capex 18-19% in 2026, supporting mid-single-digit to low double-digit revenue growth. The stock deserves a Buy rating with 16-17% upside to fair value over 12-24 months.

GDXU - Proposed a modular approach to AI agents, focusing on specialized, discrete task performance
ASML - ASML maintains a strong competitive moat with its near-monopoly in advanced EUV and High-NA lithography systems.

The stock offers 16-17% upside to fair value with manageable risks.
