Miller Value Deep Value Strategy stated the following regarding JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (NYSE:JELD) in its Q1 2025 investor letter:
"During the quarter, we made a new investment in an attractively priced building supplier. JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (NYSE:JELD) is a leading North American. and European manufacturer and distributor of interior and exterior doors and windows to new construction and remodeling sectors. JELD-WEN share price has been under significant pressure, 73% below its 52-week high as the company has experienced revenue and profit weakness. The company is undertaking a multi-year transformation bringing in automation and system enhancements to enhance their manufacturing and warehouse footprint. Since 2023, new senior management has removed $350M from their cost structure and management expects $100M/year in further productivity savings. As they rationalize their infrastructure over the next five years there is significant capital efficiency improvement potential. In addition, like our investments in Quad Graphics (QUAD) and United Natural Foods (UNFI), JELD-WEN owns real estate, which provides significant margin of safety for the transformation plan. While the company expects margins and profits at historical trough levels in the early part of 2025, a new cost reduction program should support margin and profit improvement later in the year. Near-term risk is a weaker housing and remodeling marketplace, causing greater near-term revenue weakness and a slower recovery in company margins. Long-term positive supply and demand dynamics (favorable demographics and limited supply) should shorten the current downturn. In addition, there was a recent market transaction that bolsters our view JELD-WEN's significant embedded value proposition. Owens Corning acquired Masonite International (interior/exterior doors) in May 2024 at 8.6x EV/EBITDA. JELD WEN should be a beneficiary of any housing recovery with 25-30% incremental margins on a future volume improvement. Long-term upside potential from their transformation plan supports the goal of achieving double digit normalized EBITDA margins and could realistically support a share price multiples the current price level."

NATO needs 400% increase in air and missile defence, Rutte will say in London
LONDON (Reuters) -NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will use a speech in London on Monday to say the military alliance needs a 400% increase in air and missile defence, one of the priorities for a summit of members in the Hague later this month. Rutte is pushing for members to boost defence spending to 3.5% of GDP and commit a further 1.5% to broader security-related spending to meet U.S. President Donald Trump's demand for a 5% target. Last month, he said he assumed that target would be agreed at the summit on June 24-25. Rutte will argue in a speech at London's Chatham House think tank that for NATO to maintain credible deterrence and defence, it needs "a 400% increase in air and missile defence". "We see in Ukraine how Russia delivers terror from above, so we will strengthen the shield that protects our skies," he will say, according to extracts of his speech provided by his office. "The fact is, we need a quantum leap in our collective defence. The fact is, we must have more forces and capabilities to implement our defence plans in full. The fact is, danger will not disappear even when the war in Ukraine ends." With little let up in fighting in Russia's war against Ukraine despite ceasefire calls, European countries are under pressure to raise defence spending after Trump signalled a shift in policy, pushing for the region to better protect itself. Several countries say they are doing so, with Britain pledging an increase from 2.3% to 2.5% of GDP by 2027 and 3% of GDP at a later date. Germany has said it will need roughly 50,000 to 60,000 additional active soldiers under new NATO targets.

Citigroup drops July rate cut bets for US, trims forecast to 75 bps
(Reuters) - Citigroup has pushed back its U.S. rate cut forecast to September from July and now expects three cuts this year instead of four, after a stronger-than-expected May jobs report in an otherwise cooling labor market. The Wall Street brokerage anticipates 75 basis points (bps) of cuts this year in three equal tranches in September, October and December, revising its earlier forecast of 100 bps of cuts. The brokerage also forecast two rate cuts of 25 bps each in January and March of 2026. The Federal Reserve's last rate cut was in December 2024, when it reduced the key lending rate by 25 bps. U.S. non-farm payrolls increased by 139,000 jobs last month after a downwardly revised rise of 147,000 in April, data showed. Economists polled by Reuters had estimated May payrolls to rise by 130,000 jobs. The U.S. central bank is expected to keep interest rates unchanged at its meeting next week, while traders have priced in close to two 25-bps cuts by December. On Friday, Citi lifted its S&P 500 year-end target to 6,300 from 5,800 earlier, expressing renewed optimism in corporate earnings resilience and the accelerating momentum of artificial intelligence-driven growth. The benchmark S&P 500 index closed above 6,000 for the first time since late February on Friday.
