janiecbros/E+ via Getty Images Thesis Relay Therapeutics ( RLAY ) reported earnings in late February. My initial thoughts were that the numbers are pretty much as you would expect. We saw that spending is still very high with the ongoing zovegalisib trials. However, there is an upcoming data readout that I think could actually add some good stock momentum here. The catalyst I think could serve investors well would be zovegalisib, which is tipped to come on March 16th. It's the data readout at ESMO TAT, which should be the first look we get at efficacy and safety at the Phase 3 dose. I think the event could create a nice setup for Relay in 2026, where they have improved financial visibility and potentially a positive clinical update, which should add fresh momentum to the shares. Financial results Relay’s 4Q25/FY25 financial results show us a bit of strategic cost management, but also continued investment in their lead development programs, particularly zovegalisib, which is what we want to see. For 4Q25, the company reported revenue of about $7.0 million, a pretty notable increase from the near-zero revenue we saw back in 2024. So we’re starting to see those milestones under its Exclusive License Agreement with Elevar Therapeutics. As for FY25, revenue managed to hit $15.4 million, up from about $10.0 million in 2024. Now, this is still pretty modest relative to the company’s ongoing R&D spending, but it does show us some improvement. As you know, the big spend is coming from R&D; however, this did decrease slightly to $55.4 million for 4Q25 and $261.4 million for FY25. For context, these figures are down from $68.1 million and $319.1 million, respectively, in 2024. I think we can put these reductions down to a lot of organisational streamlining from Relay. We've also seen the transfer of certain development programs, such as lirafugratinib, to Elevar, which clearly helped lessen the load for them. However, there were increases related to zovegalisib’s Phase 3 ReDis...

Andrey Semenov/iStock via Getty Images CoreWeave ( CRWV ) may not have scared the market because of a sudden drop in the demand for AI. It scared the market because it reminded everyone that demand does not pay the bills; capital does. Notice that this company is guiding 2026 capital expenditures to be in the range of $30 billion to $35 billion , while just recently spending $14.9 billion in 2025 capital expenditures. It is no longer about the demand for GPUs and more about how this company is going to pay for this and whether or not the current equity level is above a bridge or a stress fracture. What the stock move tells you is what investors are concerned about. It is down in the mid-$70s , coming from the high $90s before this print, and the tape is not subtle about what is wrong with this name. I think this is less about this company and more about the structure. They were comfortable underwriting this level of growth. They just got a little more uncomfortable underwriting this level of growth while the balance sheet is still in heavy build mode. Earnings Presentation Q4 Debt Became the Story When Interest Became a Line Item You Cannot Ignore The reason why the gap looks so unattractive is because of the interest burden. It is what makes this number so unattractive, and that is what makes this so scary, because this is what CoreWeave is telling us in their own numbers. That first-quarter interest expense guide of $510 to $590 million is not a rounding error; that is a constraint that affects everything we do and our flexibility as a company. When we think about capex that is doubling and interest expense at this level, we naturally want to think about what happens if the cost of capital does not continue to improve and what happens if some or all of our backlog does not have the same duration. This is where the stock price reaction makes sense to me. While the growth in demand is relentless, the truth is the stock is going up or down based on the ability to con...

Borrowers including Baker Hughes Co. are offering Europe’s first high-grade corporate debt deals in a week, as activity cranks up following several days of near standstill due to conflict in the Middle East. Four non-financial borrowers are seeking to raise euro currency debt on Thursday, led by Baker Hughes’ four-part offering , according to people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified as the information is private. The sales are the first from high-grade corporates since Feb. 26, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Debt markets are staging a tentative return to activity as the world’s markets continue to swing while the US-Israeli war on Iran enters its sixth day. The last three days have seen just over 11 billion euros ($12.8 billion) of syndicated sales in the region, well below what would normally be expected and mostly from super-safe sovereign and government-backed issuers. Read more: Trump Lauds US War Effort as Iran Vows to Escalate Retaliation Ahold Delhaize, a Dutch-Belgian multinational retailer, is offering a two-year floating rate note and an eight-year green tranche on Thursday, while Fidelity National Information Services Inc. is following a dollar offering in the US on Wednesday with a two-part euro sale. Eaton Capital ULC has opened books on a two-tranche offering and a regional German bank has also brought out a planned deal. It remains to be seen whether the uptick in sales will last, given the fragility of wider markets while the war rages on. A poll taken before the conflict began signaled that there is a healthy pipeline of deals ready to hit the market once conditions improve. Five high-grade borrowers were active in the US on Wednesday, with Baker Hughes also planning to sell dollar debt across multiple currencies, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

mingxing chen/iStock via Getty Images Introduction & Financials Woodside Energy ( WDS ) offers an attractive buying opportunity despite their recent jump, as the former CEO helped build this into a global powerhouse that should play a significant role in the global energy transition. I rate WDS a buy, backed by several projects that should come online over the next half a decade, supporting the company's long-term exposure to LNG and preparing them for long-term tailwinds, with solid financials and an attractive valuation. Woodside Energy IR The company reported a solid Q4 and 2025 overall, given the weaker oil and gas prices, with record production that exceeded their guidance while their unit costs fell 4%, recording strong performance at all of their operations and advancing on their major Scarborough and Louisiana (ex-Driftwood) LNG projects, among others. Their free cash flow reached a strong $1.89 billion, with a significant drop in CAPEX as a result of the completion of their Sangomar oil project in Senegal and Scarborough being ~94% complete now, while the Beaumont New Ammonia project reached its first production in December 2025 (production of lower-carbon ammonia targeted for H2 2026), turning from a major investment cycle towards the stage where they enjoy the benefits. Woodside Energy IR As for the guidance, they expect 172 to 186 MMboe in 2026, while CAPEX is expected to drop further to $4 billion to $4.5 billion, accounting for the expected 5-week Pluto LNG downtime as they prepare for Scarborough gas. Following the Tellurian acquisition back in 2024, the company has access to a key LNG terminal in Louisiana, which they describe as a "high-quality, scalable development opportunity, with a total permitted capacity of 27.6 million tonnes per annum," adding a fully-permitted long-term US opportunity to Australia's oil and gas giant's portfolio, with agreements already signed . As a note, we're talking about a massive ~$17.5 billion construction cost, for ...

It's become clear over the past few quarters that Tesla is an AI company now. As the company's car sales have plummeted worldwide, costing it the crown of world's largest EV seller, investor focus has shifted to robotaxis. Self-driving EVs are now seen by Wall Street analysts as carrying Tesla — and its stock price — to new heights. In Elon (And Robotaxis) We Trust. Up until the start of 2026, investors were sold on the new vision. The stock more than doubled between April and December of last year. But Tesla had a rocky start to 2026, falling 13% year-to-date through Tuesday. It's had to contend with mounting skepticism around AI, and a sharp rotation out of market-leading tech names. Enter new research from Bank of America on Wednesday, which helped push Tesla shares up more than 3%, their biggest gain in a month. The firm — which resumed coverage on Tesla stock and slapped it with a buy rating — did its best to quantify the bullish impact of robotaxis. Combining BofA's estimates with other major forecasts from Wall Street analysts, here are the five numbers that will define Tesla's robotaxi business going forward: $460 This is BofA's new 12-month forward price target on Tesla stock, which implies 13% upside. The firm is more bullish than the average Wall Street forecast of $421.60, although that's also above current levels. BofA's forecast is primarily driven by robotaxi optimism, as evidenced by the next number: 52% This is how much of Tesla's overall valuation BofA is assigning to robotaxis. More than half! And more than double the 21% contribution from its core car business. My how times change … and quickly. Here's the full breakdown: 50% This is how much of the global robotaxi market bullish pundits think Tesla can grab in the coming decade. Cathie Wood's Ark Invest sees it earning that share by 2030. Wolfe Research also thinks 50% is attainable, but not until 2035. 1 million Speaking of 2035, this is the number of robotaxis Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew Per...

A deepening energy crunch across Asia is impacting all corners of the oil market, with suppliers of everything from shipping fuel to cooking gas beginning to cut back on sales in order to manage shrinking stockpiles. A widening conflict in the Persian Gulf, which began at the weekend after US and Israeli strikes on Iran, has upended the energy trade by all but halting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway that connects some of the world’s most important energy producers to their consuming markets. The impact has been swift, even for wealthy markets with extensive storage. Shipping fuel suppliers in Singapore, the world’s top bunkering port, have informed customers that they will fulfill only part of agreed orders, citing lower volumes received from their own suppliers, according to people with knowledge of the matter. They asked not to be identified as the discussions are not public. China has told its largest refiners to suspend exports of diesel and gasoline, asking them to refrain from signing new contracts and to cancel already-agreed shipments. The world’s top oil importer is only Asia’s third fuel exporter, but the the move reflects a race across the region to make domestic demand a priority. In South Korea, petrochemical producer Yeochun NCC declared force majeure on some of its sales due to disruptions in the arrival of naphtha feedstock. Governments, meanwhile, are grappling with dwindling supplies of liquefied petroleum gas used in cooking, given disrupted deliveries from the Middle East, a key source of fuel for Asia. India, one of the most affected markets, is in talks with producers. Still, with US cargoes too distant, there are few alternatives to replace lost volumes, meaning some countries could be forced to impose a form of rationing. Others are already considering tapping official stockpiles. In Japan, which gets 90% of its crude from the Middle East, oil refiners are asking the government to release crude from the nation’s stra...
