The negative estimate revision depicts bearish sentiments about the stock’s growth potential. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research What Ails QCOM? The continued U.S.-China trade spat has dented Qualcomm’s growth potential. The chip-making firm has a significant presence in more than 12 cities in China, aiming to drive advancements in semiconductors and mobile telecommunications for the larger benefit. The company has been a key supplier of chips and other related components to local smartphone manufacturers like Xiaomi, Huawei and its spin-off brand Honor. However, it appears that Qualcomm is increasingly finding it difficult to maintain its operations in China. The U.S. Commerce Department has long imposed various trade restrictions on China, including bans on the sale of high-tech equipment, chips, components and related technologies used to develop high-end smartphones and AI-enabled chips. As Washington tightens trade restrictions, Beijing has intensified its push for self-sufficiency in critical industries. This shift poses a dual challenge for QCOM, as it faces potential market restrictions and increased competition from domestic chipmakers. In addition, weaker spending across consumer and enterprise markets, especially in China, led to higher customer inventory levels. Demand Softness Hurts QCOM Qualcomm is expected to face softness in demand in the near term. For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Qualcomm expects GAAP revenues of $10.2-$11 billion with constrained handset revenues of about $6 billion, due to reduced chip orders and near-term uncertainty in memory supply and pricing for handset OEMs. In addition, OEMs based in the communist nation are largely pulling back on new 4G device orders and managing their inventory in advance for the transition to 5G. Consequently, Qualc...

Shares of MercadoLibre (MELI +0.71%) fell 18.2% in March, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. The e-commerce and financial technology giant in Latin America keeps posting strong growth, but investors are fearful over declining profit margins and intense competition. MercadoLibre stock is now down 32% from all-time highs, one of its worst in recent years. Here's why MercadoLibre stock fell last month, and whether it is a buy for your portfolio today.

Spending through its e-commerce platform grew 35% year-over-year last quarter across its three largest countries -- Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina -- and also showed impressive growth in smaller Latin American markets. On a constant currency basis, commerce revenue grew 37% year-over-year, while financial technology grew an astounding 61% year-over-year. This makes MercadoLibre one of the fastest-growing businesses in the world, and the largest commerce player in Latin America. So why is the stock falling? Investors are concerned that management is pushing prices lower across shipping, inventory, and its credit portfolio, thereby compressing MercadoLibre's operating margin. Over the last 12 months, MercadoLibre's operating margin was 11%, down from a peak of 16% in 2023. This is a misunderstanding of MercadoLibre's operations. It wants to drive down costs and deliver to customers quickly, similar to Amazon. However, margins should return to higher levels over the long term with greater scale, growth in advertising, and the higher margins coming from its financial technology business.

England have “blown the lid off” in order to complete their Italian job and salvage their Six Nations campaign with Maro Itoje promising an emotional response to back-to-back defeats. Steve Borthwick’s side are out of contention for the Six Nations title for another year after dismal defeats by Scotland and Ireland but have won all 32 previous meetings with Italy and spent the championship’s fallow week ensuring they avoid a slice of unwanted history in Rome on Saturday. Borthwick invited nine of the 2003 World Cup winners to dinner with his squad last week while Thomas Tuchel addressed his players on Tuesday with England determined to find a physical intensity that was absent against Scotland and Ireland. In response, Borthwick has made 12 changes – nine personnel and three positional – and sent a clear message to his players with the assistant coach Richard Wigglesworth laying down the law. Asked if he has had to keep the leash on England before kick-off in Rome, he said: “I don’t think I’ve tried to put a lid on it too much. The physical intensity that we need to bring, sometimes you need to blow the lid off. “I think the table-banging and that sort of era has crept out, but there’s always a time. It would be done on feel. You need to feel what the group needs. I would hope that we’ve got that right in the last 10 days so that we play really well Saturday afternoon. “Physically we weren’t where we wanted to be, our physical intensity. The game of rugby is really complicated and has all these intricacies, but at the same time it’s really fucking simple. If your physical intensity is not right, then parts of your game really struggle to put together. We didn’t sort that out.” The captain, Itoje, meanwhile, has said that England have dialled things up a notch in preparation for facing a bullish Italian side who have beaten Scotland and showed themselves to be competitive against Ireland and France to date. “We have just addressed some of the issues we have been lack...

Armed police have arrested four men suspected of spying for Iran and allegedly targeting synagogues and Jews in London. Counter-terrorism detectives are investigating why the alleged surveillance of Jewish locations and individuals was being carried out, and whether it was linked to a wish to carry out attacks on British soil. Part of the investigation is looking at claims that in-person surveillance in London took place and whether it was directed from overseas. The operation by counter-terrorism police and MI5 had been going on for months. The arrests of the four men – one Iranian and three dual British-Iranian nationals – were made under the National Security Act and are the first of suspects alleged to be acting in Iran’s interests since the country was attacked by the US and Israel. Three of the arrests were carried out in London and one in Hertfordshire. Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, said the arrests meant police had kept “Britain safe from a potential threat”. Police said those arrested were a 40-year-old man and a 55-year-old man who were detained at addresses in Barnet, north London. In Harrow, north-west London, a 22-year-old man was arrested, while a man aged 52 was arrested in Watford. The arrests were carried out at 1am on Friday morning. Police said that at the address in Harrow, six men were also detained on suspicion of assisting an offender. Those arrested were aged 29, 39, 42, 49 and two men aged 20, one of whom was arrested for allegedly assaulting an officer. Police said: “The investigation relates to suspected surveillance of locations and individuals linked to the Jewish community in the London area.” Section 3 of the 2023 National Security Act outlaws any actions meant to “materially assist a foreign intelligence service in carrying out UK-related activities”. Those arrested can be detained without charge for up to two weeks. Police also said searches were being carried out at the addresses, as well as at another address in Barnet, and ...

narvo vexar U.S. cancer drug developer Day One Biopharmaceuticals ( DAWN ) has agreed to be acquired by French pharmaceutical group Servier in an all-cash deal worth nearly $2.5B, according to a statement from the companies on Friday. Shares of Day One ( DAWN ) climbed ~66% in the premarket in reaction to the announcement. The deal comes after Day One ( DAWN ) shares surged on Wednesday on takeover speculation, with Ipsen ( IPSEY ) and Jazz Pharmaceuticals ( JAZZ ) cited as potential acquirers. The agreement with Servier at $21.50 per share reflects a premium of nearly 68% to Day One’s ( DAWN ) closing price on Thursday and about an 86% premium to the stock’s 30-day volume-weighted average price. The transaction is expected to close in Q2 2026, with Servier adding the Brisbane, California-based biotech’s pipeline, including its lead candidate, tovorafenib, targeted at a brain tumor called low-grade glioma.

Pat_Hastings/iStock via Getty Images Regencell Bioscience Holdings Limited ( RGC ), a company focused on the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) remedies for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism, is up a staggering 23,745% over the last year. The market capitalization now stands at $12.6b. This gives Chairman, CEO and Founder Yat-Gai Au a net worth of over $10 billion. Regencell has zero revenue and is unlikely to ever generate revenue. Data by YCharts All of the above is quite staggering and likely makes the title of this article seem all the more peculiar. Regencell is probably the most fundamentally overvalued business on the Nasdaq at this point in time, yet I believe the stock is likely heading a lot higher over the near term. I will discuss why in this article. Stock is a vehicle for explosive moves Regencell's upside potential comes down to float mechanics. 88.56% of the company's free float is owned by Yat-Gai Au or his wife. Year after year both of them committed to locking up their shares, making them unable to sell any of their substantial holdings. Therefore, despite Yat's significant paper net worth, none of this is liquid, for now. Regencell has grounds to become a meme stock and is already partially on its way there. The Company achieved a lot of attention across a range of social media platforms in June 2025 with large accounts like Gurgavin (458k followers) tweeting about the price action. The Company was the biggest share gainer on the Nasdaq in 2025. However, there is still ground for increased attention in Wall Street Bets and across Twitter. This would add fuel to the fire if Regencell starts to pick up price action momentum. Reverse stock split The stock briefly touched $80+ on 16 June, the day the company had executed a 35-for-1 stock split. The price became more accessible to a large number of investors, which supported increased investor demand. Both the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg have now published...
