sitox Bloom Energy ( BE ) up 23.8% in early trading Wednesday to an all-time high of $290.50 after crushing estimates for Q1 adjusted earnings and revenue, capitalizing on rising demand for digital power as part of the artificial intelligence boom, and raising guidance for the full year. The fuel cell technology provider swung to a Q1 profit of $70.7M, or $0.23/share, from a loss of $23.8M, or $0.10/share, in the year-earlier quarter, and revenue more than doubled to $751.1M from $326M in the same period last year. Bloom ( BE ) raised guidance for FY 2026, now seeing adjusted EPS of $1.85-$2.25 and revenue of $3.4B-$3.8B, exceeding respective FactSet consensus estimates of $1.42/share and $3.24B, after previously forecasting earnings of $1.33-$1.48/share and revenue of $3.1B-$3.3B. Alternative energy peers also trade higher: FuelCell Energy ( FCEL ) up 12.4%, Plug Power ( PLUG ) up 2.6%, and Ballard Power ( BLDP ) up 0.8%. The Q1 results came a day after Oracle and BorderPlex Digital Assets said they will use fuel cells made by Bloom Energy ( BE ) for Oracle’s Project Jupiter data center campus in New Mexico. Morgan Stanley analyst David Arcaro, who rates Bloom ( BE ) at Overweight, raised his stock price target to $310 from $184, seeing the guidance raise as attractive with revenue and profit set to increase and margins continuing to expand. "We believe the confirmation of the recent Oracle deal likely contributed to the increase, with at least 1.2 GW being delivered over 2026 and 2027, and the company also suggested broad-based strength across data center and C&I end markets."

The Global X - Silver Miners ETF (NYSEMKT:SIL) could appeal to investors seeking aggressive silver-market exposure, while the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSEMKT:GDX) may suit those prioritizing lower costs and gold-sector liquidity. Both exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer targeted access to the extraction side of the precious metals market. While SIL focuses specifically on silver mining companies, GDX provides a broader window into the gold mining industry. These funds are often used as tactical tools for investors who expect metal prices to rise, as mining company profits can fluctuate more significantly than the bullion prices themselves. This dynamic makes them potentially more volatile than holding physical metal or a spot-price ETF. Beta measures price volatility relative to the S&P 500; beta is calculated from five-year monthly returns. The 1-yr return represents total return over the trailing 12 months. Dividend yield is the trailing-12-month distribution yield. Continue reading

Uber Technologies Inc. is adding hotel bookings in its flagship app, marking the ride-hail company’s biggest push yet into the travel market as it seeks to create an everything platform. The San Francisco-based company has partnered with Expedia Group Inc. to make its hotel selection available in the Uber app, starting in the US, Uber said in a statement on Wednesday as part of its annual product event. Vacation rentals from Expedia’s Vrbo brand will be added later this year. For every hotel booking, members of the paid Uber One program can earn 10% back in credits that can be applied toward future rides or delivery orders. Customers can also save as much as 20% on a subset of about 10,000 hotels, Uber added. Uber ride bookings will be added to the Expedia app in June, the travel company said. Hotel bookings are a strategic addition for Uber’s business, as the company already helps many travelers get to their hotels and deliver them food or travel amenities, Chief Product Officer Sachin Kansal said in an interview ahead of the announcement. About 15% of its ride-hailing gross bookings happen to or from an airport, he added. More than 1.5 billion trips took place outside a rider’s home city last year, according to the company. The Expedia integration represents a significant move for Uber’s long-telegraphed super app ambitions , which would expand the platform beyond ride-hailing and delivery. To boost those efforts, Uber has taken a variety of tacks in recent years, including striking partnerships, investing in other companies and making acquisitions . All of this has allowed the rideshare giant to add extras in select markets like bookings for bikes, scooters, trains, buses and flights . Uber isn’t the only company with ambitions of developing a do-it-all app. OpenAI and Anthropic PBC are also adding third-party features to their popular chatbots in the hopes of becoming a one-stop shop for consumers’ work and leisure needs. Uber has made its service available on t...

China said it would retaliate against the European Union if it proceeds with a proposal to ban Huawei Technologies Co. ’s equipment across the continent, escalating tensions in the long-running clash over national security and the communications company’s products. China’s mission to the EU has asked that the commission erase language that would declare Chinese equipment a cybersecurity concern or label companies from the country as “high risk” suppliers in a proposal from Commission Executive Vice President Henna Virkkunen . Virkkunen is looking for ways to compel countries in the bloc to phase out Huawei’s and compatriot ZTE Corp. ’s equipment from their telecommunications infrastructure and in January proposed mandatory measures meant to secure networks in the Cybersecurity Act. Read More: EU Eyes Huawei Ban in Mobile Networks of Member Countries “If the EU persists in adopting the proposal, China will have to respond in kind by carrying out corresponding countermeasures against the EU and EU businesses,” the Chinese mission said in a statement at a meeting in Brussels on Wednesday. If the EU uses the act to require European businesses to phase out Chinese equipment, China can “launch relevant investigations into the EU or EU businesses and take reciprocal measures.” A number of countries in Europe as well as the UK have taken steps to ban Huawei gear from the most sensitive parts of their telecommunications networks, saying the company’s ties to China are a security risk. In 2020, the commission set out voluntary guidelines in its 5G toolbox that advised countries to curb the use of “high-risk vendors.” Read More: Germany to Cut Huawei From 5G Core Network by End-2026 Critics have complained that the bans hurt telecoms by restricting the supply of critical network components and force them to turn to more expensive or less sophisticated suppliers. Besides Huawei, the dominant telecom equipment suppliers are in Europe — Nokia Oyj and Ericsson .

Fed Chair Pick Warsh Approved By Key Senate Committee Along Party Lines The drama over Kevin Warsh's nomination as Trump's pick for next Fed chair appears to be over.

Fed Chair Pick Warsh Approved By Key Senate Committee Along Party Lines The drama over Kevin Warsh's nomination as Trump's pick for next Fed chair appears to be over. Moments ago, Warsh won the backing of the Senate Banking Committee Wednesday in a 13-11 party-line vote, putting him on track to be confirmed by the full Senate before Jerome Powell’s term ends May 15, Bloomberg reproted. Warsh’s nomination had been held up by Republican Senator Thom Tillis until the Department of Justice agreed last week to drop (for now) a criminal probe into cost overruns in a renovation of the Fed’s Washington headquarters. Tillis, who saw the probe as “bogus” and a threat to the Fed’s independence on monetary policy, said in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he received assurances the department wouldn’t reopen the case unless the Fed’s inspector general, who is also reviewing the project, sends a criminal referral. As expected, Democrats weren’t won over: Senator Elizabeth Warren warned that Trump is still intent on controlling the Fed; Democrats have also demanded an end to a legal pursuit of Fed Governor Lisa Cook. “The stink of stagflation is in the air,” Warren said. She said confirmation of Warsh would help Trump dominate the Fed’s monetary policy. “Trump has not been subtle about his takeover,” she said. The vote makes real the prospect of a Warsh-led Fed that promises the biggest shake up of the US central bank in years. Having raised the prospect of “regime change” as part of his bid to win Trump’s nomination, Warsh has promised to shrink the Fed’s $6.7 trillion balance sheet, establish a new framework for managing inflation and change how the central bank communicates with the public. He has, however, offered few details on how he might pursue each of these goals. Warsh is almost certain to face heavy pressure from Trump over monetary policy. In a CNBC interview on April 21, the president said he’d be disappointed if Warsh didn’t cut rates as soon as he took of...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Earnings season rolls on. Stanley Black & Decker ( SWK ) reported solid Q1 results on Wednesday, April 29. Shares were little changed later in the morning, and the same goes when zooming out to the past few years. I had a "B uy" rating on SWK back in October 2024. Shares are down 22% since then, lagging the S&P 500 by some 45 percentage points. But I still see value in this Industrial name with consumer exposure. With a low-teens multiple, the chart is not as desirable. I’ll detail Q1, SWK’s fundamentals and valuation, and offer a refreshed look at the chart. SWK Has Rallied Recently, But Remains Well Below Its Early-Year High Stockcharts.com In April, SWK reported a healthy set of quarterly results. Q1 non-GAAP EPS of $0.80 topped the Wall Street consensus forecast of $0.59, while revenue of $3.85 billion, up 3% from the same quarter a year earlier, was a notable $100 million beat. The company expects FY 2026 GAAP EPS to be in the range of $4.15 to $5.35. Shares traded higher by just 0.3% ahead of the open after earnings. If the gain holds by the close of trading on the penultimate day of April, it would mark the third consecutive post-earnings rally. The options market had priced in a moderate 6.5% earnings-related stock price swing based on the at-the-money straddle expiring soonest after the report. Implied volatility on SWK should now retreat from 54%, while short interest on the Industrials-sector stock is material at 4.1%. Looking back on the quarter that was, it was a decent start to 2026 for SWK. Results appeared on track to meet the firm’s annual financial targets. Organic revenue was about flat, as a 3% increase in price was offset by a 3% decline in volume. Moreover, the company tallied adjusted EPS of $0.80 over the January through March stretch and completed the divestiture of its Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing ( CAM ) business for approximately $1.6 billion, using the majority of the proceeds to reduce...
