Eos Energy Enterprises (EOSE +10.31%) stock has had a rough start to the year. Shares are 63% off a January high and have plunged 42% year to date. Much of that drop came after the maker of energy storage batteries reported Q4 results late last month. Eos stock is jumping today, though. As of 1:51 p.m. ET, shares were up by 9.9%. Insider buying Eos Energy stock crashed after the company failed to meet its own 2025 revenue projections. Full-year revenue soared 632% compared to 2024, but even that $114.2 million in sales was very disappointing. That's because the company had told investors to expect full-year revenue of between $150 million and $160 million as recently as November. Additionally, projections for 2026 revenue of $300 million-$400 million also fell short of market expectations. Eos Energy offers battery storage systems for large-scale energy storage applications across grid-scale, utility, commercial, and industrial sectors. It serves utility providers, renewable energy developers, and commercial and industrial clients seeking comprehensive energy storage solutions.

James Talarico ’s victory over Jasmine Crockett in the race for the Democratic nomination for Senate in Texas came as a surprise to many poll watchers. Prediction-market traders never had much doubt. An average of polls collected by Decision Desk HQ showed Crockett leading for nearly the entire campaign until Talarico captured a narrow lead in its closing days. But within a week of Crockett announcing her plans to run in December, traders on markets like Kalshi and Polymarket placed her odds of winning below 40% — and kept them there through much of the race. The Texas Senate primary has been the most closely watched early test of how voters might tilt in this year’s midterm elections. Talarico, a religious populist who drew national attention while championing higher taxes for the wealthy, beat Crockett, a Dallas-area congresswoman and progressive firebrand, by more than six points. Prediction-market traders were less successful in picking a winner in the state’s Republican Senate primary, which advanced to a runoff between incumbent John Cornyn and state Attorney General Ken Paxton . Most polls and prediction markets expected the race to advance to a runoff with Paxton leading Cornyn in the first round, but with 94% of votes counted, Cornyn topped Paxton by more than 25,000 votes. Both Cornyn and Paxton are well-known figures in Texas politics, making the race a tough call. While Cornyn is a longtime senator backed by some of the state’s wealthiest residents, Paxton sought to appeal to hardcore followers of President Donald Trump . The presence of Representative Wesley Hunt , who finished a distant third, also made the GOP race more complex. Traders had favored Paxton in the runoff by ten percentage points on Wednesday morning, but activity was volatile in the afternoon after Trump said on Truth Social that he plans to endorse a candidate soon. Texas primaries can be difficult to forecast because voters can choose to vote in either party’s race. Surveys released i...

e-crow/iStock via Getty Images When geopolitical tensions erupt, as they have this week, investors reflexively flock to safe havens, with gold ( GLD ) leading the charge. However, this week's escalating conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran counterintuitively witnessed selling in gold and Treasury bonds, while the US Dollar and crude oil surged. To some, this price action indicates that gold has exhausted its safe haven status and may be vulnerable to a deeper correction. However, interpreting this drop as the end of gold's massive bull run misreads the mechanics that are driving prices in the short term and underestimates the continuing structural shift in global finance that appears to be strengthening. Gold's recent weakness is not a rejection of its safe-haven status; instead, it is a mechanical reaction to an overbought market that was blindsided and a sudden increase in the market's expectation for real yields. Because surging oil prices act as an immediate inflationary tax, investors are betting that the Federal Reserve will be handicapped in lowering interest rates later this year, making gold less attractive at the margin relative to holding cash. While these short-term headwinds are real, they do not negate the long-term thesis for gold that has strengthened due to the conflict. The gold bull market strengthened in 2022 when the US froze Russia's access to SWIFT in response to the war in Ukraine. This led to a structural change in how Central Banks (CBs) view US Dollar reserves, sparking a historic wave of gold accumulation. If reserves in US Dollars can be frozen, then CBs reasoned that they needed to diversify their holdings, favoring gold. Ironically, the current aggressive 'go-it-alone' US policy only reinforces this view in the long term. While rising oil prices may delay Fed rate cuts, the accelerating global shift toward a more multipolar world ensures that the structural underpinning of gold's bull market remains very much intact. The Geopoliti...

Moussa81/iStock via Getty Images SSR Mining ( SSRM ) +15.3% in Wednesday's trading to a 15-year high of $33.37 following the sale of its 80% ownership stake in the troubled and non-operating Copler gold mine in Turkey for $1.5B. The mine has been under care and maintenance since Turkish regulators revoked its environmental permits following a fatal accident in February 2024 caused by a landslide around the heap leach, and SSR Mining ( SSRM ) said it would take 24-36 months to complete repairs on the mine at a cost of $250M-$300M. The sale prompted Bank of America analyst Lawson Winder to double-upgrade shares to Buy from Underperform and nearly doubling its NAV-based price target to $45.50 from $23, reflecting the company's substantially reduced emerging market exposure and increased developed market exposure, with North America now accounting for 93% of estimated net asset value. Winder had removed Copler from his estimates, seeing SSR Mining ( SSRM ) as unlikely to obtain the required operating approvals given the landslide around the heap leach in 2024. SSR Mining ( SSRM ) also said it was reviewing its position in the Hod Maden development project in Turkey, whose exit Winder said he would view positively if it happens.

Eleven years and 290 million products sold across 115 countries later, PopSockets has proven that the bootstrapped, low-dilution path more viable than the industry gives it credit for.

Stanislaw Pytel/DigitalVision via Getty Images Thesis We first started covering the The iShares MSCI Global Energy Producers ETF (FILL) in 2023, when it was an ETF dedicated to global oil and gas equities. At the time the fund mandate was as follows: The iShares MSCI Global Energy Producers ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of global equities of companies primarily engaged in the business of energy exploration and production. Given the current Middle East crisis and the spike in oil prices, we went back to check-in on FILL given its large exposure to European Oil & Gas Majors, names which might benefit from the current events. To our surprise, the ETF has changed names, tickers and mandates. In today's article we are going to outline the new fund ethos. Change is in the air The change in mandate happened quite recently , namely in October 2025: iShares MSCI Global Energy Producers ETF (FILL) will change its name and trading symbol to iShares U.S. Power Infrastructure ETF ( POWR ) effective October 29, 2025. As a result, option symbol FILL will also change to POWR effective at the opening of business on October 29, 2025. More importantly than the ticker change is the mandate change. FILL/POWR is no longer an ETF dedicated to international Oil & Gas companies, but has become a fund focused on U.S. power infrastructure: The iShares U.S. Power Infrastructure ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of public companies involved in U.S. power infrastructure. This translates into the ETF having liquidated its old holdings and currently holding a mix of utilities, semiconductor companies and multi-utilities equities. We are going to look at those closely shortly. New ETF Focus Let us now try to identify the new focus for the POWR ETF via its objectives: Gain access to U.S. companies involved in power infrastructure across power supply, generation, transmission, distribution and storage. Offers exposure to firms potentially ...
