'US-Iran Deal Is Near' Narrative Returns, But Tehran Refuses To Surrender Hormuz Leverage After having heard the same line many, many times before - and yet with no result (instead, more often the opposite of sliding into further conflict and escalation) - Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday welcomed the "progress" made between the United States and Iran in indirect negotiations . CNN and other mainstream outlets are reporting on this "hint" that an interim deal taking shape (again). But given the pattern and track record of such reporting, which has consistently proven premature, elusive, and often downright false - it's hard not to have cynicism and to see much of this as but crude propaganda aimed at keeping energy prices down . "Both sides welcomed the progress achieved through sustained diplomatic engagement and expressed hope that these efforts will soon lead to a durable understanding and peaceful resolution," according to Pakistan’s readout of a Foreign Ministry call with the European Union's chief diplomat. via AFP And yet, the message out of Iran does not suggest positive momentum or the beginnings of any kind of deal taking shape - though it remains that anything is possible (depending on how much either side is willing to 'give up' their respective red lines and firm positions). Iran is currently saying the Strait of Hormuz is 'firmly' under IRGC control - an assertion the Pentagon has vehemently rejected, with Iranian Admiral Habibollah Sayyari saying it continues to wield "power" over the Gulf region. "The west of the Strait of Hormuz, the strait itself, and the Persian Gulf are under the firm control of the IRGC Navy," Sayyari was quoted as saying in state media. "No vessel can enter without our permission." Another commander also asserted that "We have had and continue to have power in the region" - batting down Trump's words which say Iran's military has been utterly defeated and decimated at this stage. But again, returning to the opti...

In this article SPCX SATS ASTS Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 2:19 02:19 How the options market is gearing up for the SpaceX IPO Fast Money Today is the big day. If you want clues for what might happen, look to the proxy trades that have been the rage among options traders. Options volumes are booming in stocks with ties to SpaceX ahead of Friday's historic debut of the newest public entity run by the world's richest man. While Wall Street debates whether the $1.75 trillion IPO is an egregiously overpriced hype-machine or the future of mankind, traders are piling into calls on anything that might catch a bid by association. Shares of EchoStar , the Colorado-based networking business that owns an estimated 3% of SpaceX stock, surged 11% Thursday and options volume was more than eleven times the 30-day average in 'SATS', according to data from Cboe's LiveVol. AST Spacemobile , whose satellites are expected to launch on a SpaceX rocket next week, jumped 12% alongside almost $140 million in options trading. Even Virgin Galactic Holdings , a stock that lost 99% from high to low, saw options trading ignite, with almost 3.5 times more calls bought than puts. "There's a ton of short-dated call buying in these names as a way to get long SpaceX," Danny Kirsch, head of options trading at Piper Sandler, said by phone. "I have no doubt part of it is retail demand but there is definitely institutional demand for SATS." EchoStar shares were higher by another 5% in early trading Friday. AST SpaceMobile was also trading higher. Concurrent demand for exchange-traded-funds that target the space category is also creating a bottleneck of supply that's helping keep prices for the proxy plays elevated, according to Cory Johnson, chief market strategist of San Francisco-based Epistrophy Capital Research. ETFs like Procure's 'UFO' and Defiance's 'JEDI' , up 119% and 35% the past year, respectively, both own shares of ASTS. "People who can't buy SpaceX or did...

Asset managers who were eager to launch leveraged exchange-traded funds tied to SpaceX ( SPCX ) at its market debut were told to hold off until Monday, according to a media report on Friday. Several asset managers seeking Securities and Exchange Commission approval to start the ETFs told Reuters planned to roll out the ETFs on the same day as the world's largest IPO. Rather, exchanges informed them on Wednesday that they would have to hold off until the first trading day after the IPO, four people told Reuters. The exchanges said the SEC had concerns that combining the ETF debuts with leveraged products could complicate the SpaceX ( SPCX ) IPO, three sources said. Some of the biggest firms in leveraged products, including GraniteShares, ProShares, Direxion, and Defiance, plan to introduce SpaceX 2x leveraged long ETFs as soon as they're allowed to, according to the firms' filings and marketing. Asset managers had hoped that by launching their leveraged ETFs alongside the stock's IPO they could gain an edge in what could be a multibillion-dollar competition for assets in the first week of trading, the article said. "There is a lot at stake; these products could end up holding a total of more than $10B" in assets," Matt Markiewicz, head of product and capital markets at Tradr ETFs, which had hoped to launch such an ETF on Friday, told Reuters.

hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Investment Thesis DoorDash, Inc. ( DASH ) seems to be growing like a smaller company despite being a large-cap company, making its valuation attractive as multiples appear to currently underestimate its potential. Despite closing and integrating an international acquisition, DoorDash was able to grow marketplace GOV by 37% and adjusted EBITDA by 28% YoY in Q1. Even with this strong performance, the stock has declined nearly 50% from its 52-week high, leaving opportunity for upside as the company continues executing. Author The legacy business looks stronger than what revenue indicates, where, when excluding Deliveroo, GOV still increased by 24%, and revenue increased by 21% YoY. The Deliveroo acquisition looks like a disciplined acquisition, with the company cutting out unprofitable markets to improve overall operations. As integration continues, it is also likely that multiple expansion won't be required to see further upside as margins improve. I am rating the stock a buy with a 12-month price target of $187.68, as the current risk/reward looks favorable. Core Growth In Q1, DoorDash missed revenue estimates of $4.15 billion by ~3%; however, this appears to overlook the rest of the company's performance. Without Deliveroo, the remaining business grew 21% YoY and 24% on marketplace GOV, with total orders hitting 933 million, up 27% YoY. Author Record DashPass membership signups, grocery options, and high restaurant density should drive future growth. This is why Q1 figures could mislead some investors with a top-line miss, despite strong underlying growth and an adjusted EBITDA trajectory. Deliveroo DoorDash completed the acquisition of Deliveroo for £2.9 billion in October 2025, adding a large-scale European delivery platform to the company's portfolio. Besides scaling up, this acquisition also includes specific market pruning by exiting markets such as Qatar, Singapore, Japan, and Uzbekistan. The combination of its global...
