There are several grim assessments about how many jobs AI will eliminate in America. Large consulting firms say they will not hire people without AI experience. Accenture and KPMG say promotions will be based on whether people can use their AI tools. At a law firm, entry-level associates will find few jobs. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) ... AI’s Future, What To Do When You Get Fired?

Banco Santander SA Executive Chair Ana Botin is counting on artificial intelligence to provide more than €1 billion ($1.2 billion) to targets she’s set for the next years. AI will help Spain’s largest lender to grow annual revenue by about €300 million and cut costs by about €700 million in 2028, Botin said at an investor event Wednesday. She highlighted the use of AI to “gain primacy with customers,” sell more banking products to existing clients and “agentic commerce” as levers to achieve that goal, according to a presentation published ahead of the event. The risks and opportunities created by the rapid advance of AI have become a central theme for global investors as recent model updates have triggered shock reactions across industries including wealth management, alternative asset management and software. The European Central Bank , which is Europe’s top banking supervisor, has been delving into the risks faced by the region’s banks from AI, Bloomberg News reported earlier this week. Read More: AI Morphs Into Villain of Stock Market It Powered for Years Botin said in the presentation that Santander is “structurally advantaged” to deploy AI, citing its customer base of 180 million and its ownership of those relationships as key reasons to underpin the claim. Santander earlier Wednesday vowed to grow net income to more than €20 billion in 2028. Its profit hit a record of €14.1 billion last year.

Dikuch/iStock via Getty Images I have covered Okeanis Eco Tankers ( ECO ) before, where I outlined the investment thesis in detail and explained why I considered it an interesting buy. Since the initial article , the stock total return has been above 150% and has already surpassed my last fair value of $40, when I downgraded the stock to hold . Despite that, I haven’t sold the stock and I don’t plan to do that as Sinokor entered the scene and is trying to corner the VLCC market . Okeanis is the company with most exposure, especially since Frontline sold eight of its VLCCs to Sinokor and DHT has signed several charters. Background Okeanis Eco Tankers is the tanker company with the newest fleet among peers with an average age of 6 years. The fleet consists of 16 vessels, 8 VLCCs and 8 Suezmax, plus two Suezmax newbuilds with delivery in Q2. All its fleet is operating in the spot market except one VLCC that was recently chartered out for one year at stellar rates . Investor Presentation As commented in the previous article, the company issued shares to buy Suezmax newbuilds, initially it was two newbuilds with delivery in Q1 2025, which have already been delivered. And later the company followed the same playbook and bought two more Suezmax vessels with delivery in Q2. Investor Presentation I believe those transactions were interesting because the delivery date was short and they were partially financed with shares above NAV. This actually increased NAV per share, as shown in the last article: Author However, in the Q4 conference call management stated that they didn’t have more opportunistic transactions in play. Which would have been great given the strong market fundamental and the company’s ability to continue to outperform peers: Investor Presentation In Q4 the company continued its overperformance against peers. Q4 Suezmax rates were in line with peers and soft for Okeanis standards due to drydock repositioning; however, Q1 guidance was considerably above peers. ...

onurdongel/iStock via Getty Images Introduction ONEOK ( OKE ), like many in the midstream industry, has seen a large uptick since the start of 2026 as it appreciated by nearly 13% since I last rated it a Strong Buy . With the company going through a radical transformation over the last 3 years, and with the latest earnings plus the appealing guidance, I believe that OKE has given a definitive roadmap for the company to become an execution powerhouse. Current Dynamics ONEOK posted a surprise beat in terms of EPS , with Q4 GAAP coming in at $1.55, a beat of 6 cents. This was achieved despite a revenue miss as it reached $9.07B, underscoring the company’s high margin focus, as adj. EBITDA reached $2.15B for the quarter, largely meeting market expectations. On a yearly basis, net income reached $3.93B on an adjusted EBITDA of $8.02B. These are both high showing of growth with Y/Y rates being at 12% and 18% respectively. I mentioned the focus on high-margin and fee-based services for OKE, and this should continue into 2026, as around 90% of the company’s earnings are derived from fee-based contracts . This is a sort of a moat as it provides a high degree of insulation from price fluctuations, which is especially important with the current volatility seen in the natural gas and NGL price differentials. Diving deeper segment-wise, we can assess that the NGL business remains the core engine of ONEOK, as it provides various services that connect the Bakken, Mid-Continent and Permian to the Gulf Coast demand centers. The segment saw a 15% increase in Rocky Mountain NGL raw feed throughput, a testament to the continued efficiency of producers in the Williston Basin. The segment will also be heavily boosted by the completion of the Medford fractionator rebuild , as the 210,000bpd facility in Oklahoma will allow OKE to compete aggressively for volumes that are seeing egress. On the refined products and Crude side, which was inherited from the Magellan merger, is providing a coun...
