KanawatTH/iStock via Getty Images CoreWeave: Could It Have Peaked? It is a difficult time to be a tech investor right now, much less going into unprofitable ones like CoreWeave, Inc. ( CRWV ). The AI cloud, or neocloud, as it is more affectionately known, has never recovered its 2025 peak ever since the end of a torrential sell-off that started in October, before it finally landed at a bottom in mid-November. Since then, the stock has been struggling for traction, coinciding with the reallocation from technology and growth plays into value sectors such as energy, as they mounted their own outperformance, as the momentum shifted at the expense of CRWV and peers. Such a momentous turn in sentiments does suggest that unless the company can project more confidence in reaching profitability sooner rather than later, the market will continue to scrutinize all attempts at scaling up (while being unprofitable), as the fact is, we really don't know whether CoreWeave's model is, after all, sustainable in the long run. To be fair to CoreWeave, we do have the almost $700 billion in capital expenditure that was laid out by the hyperscalers in their recent Q4 earnings scorecard. However, the market is now focusing attention on AI disrupting software, with the wildfire spreading across software-related technology plays that also percolated into the business development companies with software exposure. But then, if you're observant enough, you might ask, doesn't CoreWeave serve AI pure-play companies? Isn't the company exposed mainly to AI shops leasing NVIDIA Corporation's ( NVDA ) GPUs for training and inferencing workloads? And Nvidia has been a strong supporter of CRWV, given its commitment and penchant to scale up over the next few years by leveraging Nvidia architecture. Little wonder that the company received an additional $2B of investment from Nvidia, helping to shore up CoreWeave’s debt-laden balance sheet, with interest costs already eating up >25% of its revenue for Q4...

Social Security was created in 1935, shortly after the Great Depression started. It's changed over the years, but the basic goal remains the same. This government program provides financial support, primarily to older adults who are no longer working, ensuring a basic level of income. However, it isn't means-tested. Social Security is a powerful tool for alleviating poverty among the elderly. The basic idea is that people put a small amount of their earnings into the system while they're working and then, when they stop working, they start collecting Social Security payments to support them in retirement. There are some interesting nuances on both sides of the equation. For example, everybody pays into the Social Security system while they're working. However, Social Security taxes are paid on income only up to a certain threshold. In 2026, income up to $184,500 will be hit with Social Security taxes. By contrast, all of your income will be subject to Medicare taxes, a program that provides healthcare to older adults. Continue reading

Apple Inc. this week unveiled a slate of new products, including the $599 MacBook Neo — its first true low-end laptop — and the iPhone 17e . The company also announced updated versions of the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Studio Display and iPad Air. Notably, Apple raised pricing on the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro in response to the industrywide memory crunch, making upgrade decisions somewhat tougher. To soften the impact, the company increased base storage capacities across the lineup. Ahead of the devices going on sale next week, the iPhone maker hosted select members of the press at hands-on events in New York, London and Shanghai. Below are our first impressions of some the new offerings. iPhone 17e In terms of design and in-hand feel, the iPhone 17e is identical to its predecessor, the 16e. Most upgrades are internal, with the phone now powered by Apple’s A19 chip for speedier daily performance along with the company’s in-house C1X cellular modem. Apart from a new “soft pink” color option, the most obvious indicator that you’re holding a 17e is the anti-reflective coating on its display — the same that Apple introduced across the broader iPhone 17 lineup last September. The other obvious tell is the inclusion of MagSafe. Unlike the iPhone 16e, the new handset supports the vast ecosystem of accessories that can magnetically attach to the back of the phone. M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro There's nothing new about Apple's latest MacBook Pros from the outside: These are likely to be the last refresh of the company's premium laptop line before a significantly redesigned version makes its debut later this year with a punchy OLED touchscreen in tow. But for the time being, these are Apple's most powerful and capable portable Macs to date. To help offset a higher entry price for both models, the base configurations now come with more storage: one terabyte for the M5 Pro model and two terabytes for the Max. That storage is also faster than before. Also new to the latest gen...

Spreads on African dollar bonds are widening as the Iran war drives investors into the safety of the US dollar, lifting borrowing costs across the continent. The African risk premium over US Treasuries rose to 367 basis points Tuesday, a 17 basis-point jump that was the largest increase at the close since October, according to JPMorgan . Spreads in the region widened more than in the countries of emerging markets in Latin America, Europe and Asia, which rose between 4 and 11 basis points. Some of the worst dollar bond performers Wednesday were from Kenya and South Africa. Distressed issuer Senegal remained under pressure with yields on notes due 2031 rising to 18.32%, the highest in nearly a month. The jump in yields reverses a trend of lower borrowing costs that picked up pace last year, as investors reacted positively to fiscal reforms in countries like Nigeria and South Africa, agencies upgraded the credit ratings of Ivory Coast , and borrowers like Kenya and Egypt sought help from the International Monetary Fund. Now, African issuers will have to wait for at least two to three weeks to access the global credit markets as investors cut their risk exposure, said Rajeev de Mello , global macro portfolio manager at Gama Asset Management . “Emerging market sovereign spreads were among the stronger performers over the past six months,” he said. “They have suffered as investors have realised profits.” Issuers that have capacity to raise money on their domestic market will likely adopt a strategy used by Senegal to borrow in local currency, said Abhimanyu Yadav , head of fixed income and currencies at Mcb Investment Management Co Ltd. Nations including Egypt , Nigeria , Kenya and South Africa could also use that tactic, depending on how long the Iran war lasts, he added. Dollar-bond issuances so far this year have come from Kenya, Ivory Coast, Benin, Cameroon and the Republic of Congo, helping push dollar-denominated issuances across Africa to $5.95 billion, more than t...

Greetings from Southwest Papua, which has some of the world's richest marine biodiversity Claire Harbage/NPR Far-Flung Postcards is a weekly series in which NPR's international team shares moments from their lives and work around the world. The world that exists underwater is almost entirely different from our own. In Raja Ampat, a collection of islands in Indonesia's Southwest Papua province, there exists some of the richest marine biodiversity in the world. On a recent visit, I was able to do multiple dives. The water was warm and the sun was bracing. I hadn't been diving in some years and it took a minute to adjust to the discomforts of being deep beneath the sea, relying on a tank for air and goggles for vision. But once past that, I found myself listening to my breath as I floated gently amongst the foreign inhabitants of the sea. Sponsor Message They watched me as much as I watched them. I found myself constantly distracted and awed by one beautiful thing to another — colorful coral, sparkling schools of fish and the occasional shark flashing by. Getting to visit this world while scuba diving is always fleeting; you can only stay for as long as there is air for you to breathe in your tank. But those moments of being surrounded by schools of colorful fish like bigeye snapper, watching anemones sway in the current, and catching glimpses of sharks and sea stars are worth the limited visit. The end of the air in my tank came too soon. But climbing out of the sea after the last dive, I could tell I was tired and ready to rest where oxygen was freely available.

Families remember U.S. reservists killed in Kuwait, members of an Iowa logistics unit toggle caption Charlie Neibergall/AP WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor was just days away from returning home to her husband and two children when a drone strike at a command center in Kuwait killed her and five other U.S. service members. "She was almost home," her husband, Joey Amor, said from their home in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, on Tuesday. "You don't go to Kuwait thinking something's going to happen, and for her to be one of the first — it hurts." Amor was one of four U.S. soldiers killed in the Iran war on Sunday and identified Tuesday by the Pentagon; two soldiers haven't yet been publicly identified. The members of the Army Reserve worked in logistics and kept troops supplied with food and equipment. Sponsor Message They died just one day after the U.S. and Israel launched its military campaign against Iran. Iran responded by launching missiles and drones against Israel and several Gulf Arab states that host U.S. armed forces. Those killed also included Capt. Cody Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida; Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska; and Sgt. Declan Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, lowa, who was posthumously promoted from specialist. No other names were released. "These men and women all bravely volunteered to defend our country, and their sacrifice will never be forgotten," Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll said. All were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command, which provides food, fuel, water and ammunition, transport equipment and supplies. "Sadly, there will likely be more, before it ends. That's the way it is," President Donald Trump said of deaths. One of the youngest in his class Coady had just told his father last week that he had been recommended for a promotion from specialist to sergeant, a rank he received posthumously. He was one of the youngest people in his class but seemed to impress his instructors, his father Andre...

An actor who alleged that he was sexually assaulted by Kevin Spacey has reached a settlement with the Old Vic theatre. Ruari Cannon, who waived his right to anonymity, was an actor at the Old Vic during Spacey’s tenure as artistic director. He claimed that Spacey assaulted him at a theatre after-party at the Savoy hotel and at the Old Vic’s theatre bar on a separate occasion. Spacey has denied the allegations. In a statement, the Old Vic said: “Ruari Cannon and the Old Vic have reached a mutually agreed out-of-court settlement, the precise terms of which are confidential. “This settlement has been agreed without any admission of liability, having regard to the costs and impact on all parties of continuing litigation. This statement has been mutually agreed and there will be no further comment.” Spacey, who won Oscars for American Beauty and The Usual Suspects, was dropped from the TV drama House of Cards and removed from the film All the Money in the World after he was first accused of sexual assault in 2017. Cannon is continuing to sue Spacey at the high court in London. Two other people, who gave evidence in Spacey’s 2023 criminal trial at which he was found not guilty of sexual offences, are also suing him. One of the anonymous complainants alleged he was assaulted by Spacey while working as a driver. The other said he went to Spacey’s flat after meeting him at the Old Vic. He did not recall how he passed out or went to sleep, but said he woke up to find Spacey assaulting him. Spacey denies any non-consensual contact with the men. Lawyers for the three men asked the high court on Tuesday to allow them to rely on accusations by seven others, one dating back to the 1970s. They said all three cases should be heard together rather than at separate trials. The judge said a decision would be made at a later date. The trials are due to begin in November.

Get insights on thousands of stocks from the global community of over 7 million individual investors at Simply Wall St. CPI FIM (BDL:ORCL), a Luxembourg based owner of income generating real estate in Poland and the Czech Republic, has drawn investor attention after recent trading left the share price at €0.89. See our latest analysis for CPI FIM. While the share price is flat on the day at €0.89, the 30 day share price return of an 11% decline adds to a weaker recent pattern, even though the 5 year total shareholder return of about 3x suggests long term holders have still seen meaningful gains. If this has you thinking more broadly about where to put fresh capital to work, it could be worth scanning our 96 top founder-led companies as a starting list of potential ideas. With the share price weak over the past month but multi year returns still strong, the real question is whether CPI FIM at €0.89 reflects an undervalued income platform, or if the market already prices in future growth potential? Preferred P/E of 13.1x: Is it justified? At a last close of €0.89, CPI FIM trades on a P/E of 13.1x, which sits below both its peer group and the broader European real estate average. The P/E multiple compares the current share price to earnings. It effectively tells you how many euros investors are willing to pay for each euro of profit. For a real estate owner with income generating assets, it is a quick way to see how the equity market is valuing those earnings relative to similar companies. Here, CPI FIM is described as good value on a P/E of 13.1x versus a peer average of 15.7x, and also slightly below the European real estate industry average of 13.6x. That gap suggests investors are paying a lower price for each euro of earnings when compared with comparable companies, even though the business has very high quality earnings, strong recent profit growth, and a net profit margin of 50.3%.

Olemedia/E+ via Getty Images GitLab ( GTLB ) shares had dropped 8% during morning market action on Wednesday after its full-year fiscal 2027 guidance fell short of market expectations. However, the software development, security, and operations platform's fourth quarter fiscal 2026 results topped estimates. For the quarter ended January 31, the company reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.30 versus the $0.23 consensus estimate. Revenue for the quarter increased 23% year over year to $260.4M, which was more than the $252.2M estimate. Looking ahead, GitLab expects first-quarter revenue with a midpoint of $254M, which is just under the $256M consensus. It expects adjusted EPS ranging from $0.20 to $0.21, which is in line with the estimate. For the entire fiscal year, GitLab projects revenue increasing by 16% year over year to a midpoint of $1.11B, which was less than the $1.13B consensus. The company projects full-year adjusted EPS with a midpoint of $0.78, which was well below the $1.03 estimate. GitLab also expects its gross margin for fiscal 2027 to decline slightly. After reporting an 89% gross margin for the entirety of fiscal 2026, GitLab is projecting a gross margin ranging from 85% to 87% for 2027. An array of financial firms proceeded to cut their price targets on the stock following the guidance. Needham maintained its Buy rating but reduced its price target to $32 from $50. "Given the ratable Revenue recognition model and the lack of Bookings & First Orders in recent years, FY27 is a rebuilding year—reflected by management's 5-step plan to reinvigorate growth via higher-than-expected expenses, with a guided Operating Margin of ~12% (Street 16.2%)," said Needham analysts, led by Mike Cikos, in a Wednesday investor note. "We believe the plan is the right one, especially as it pertains to improved sales coverage and unlocking monetization, but it will take time to play out. Additionally, DAP is unlikely to begin benefiting the model until FY28. We remain ...

As US stock investors endure bouts of volatility in the wake of the US war on Iran, Citadel Securities’ Scott Rubner said his fundamental analysis of the market signals now is a time to turn bullish on equities. Rubner, who studies positioning and the flow of funds, said washed-out sentiment , supportive seasonality and resilient retail flows have set the stage for a rebound after weeks of choppy trading. The call is an about-face for Rubner, who correctly predicted February would be a weak month for equities. It comes as global markets grapple with the impact from a spike in energy prices and the potential for a protracted war in the Middle East. “We take off our tactical bearish call and see scope for a bounce into mid-month, with volatility normalization acting as a catalyst,” Rubner, the firm’s head of equity and equity derivatives strategy, wrote in a note to clients Wednesday. The reversal follows feedback from his global clients and mounting evidence that sentiment has already deteriorated sharply. “The bear camp has become too popular,” Rubner wrote, arguing that positioning now leaves room for a move higher. The S&P 500 Index rose at the open Wednesday after two days of steep early losses that were largely reversed by the end of those sessions. The index is down less than 1% this week, though realized volatility has spiked. Stocks are coming off the worst month since March 2025, and the drawdown left positioning defensive and hedging activity elevated, setting up what Rubner sees as a more favorable risk-reward backdrop should tensions ease. Retail Flows Stay Robust Relentless purchasing from retail traders made January the largest net buying month on record on Citadel Securities’ platform, the strategist said. February, though softer, still ranked fifth in the firm’s history and was the strongest month since April 2021. “Retail remains the strongest hand in the entire market,” Rubner wrote. Famously, that group of investors is loaded with ardent dip buyers...

Key Stats for PLTR Stock Past-Week Performance: 14% 14% 52-Week Range: $66 to $208 $66 to $208 Valuation Model Target Price: $429 $429 Implied Upside: 191% Value your favorite stocks like Palantir Technologies with 5 years of analysts’ forecasts using TIKR’s new Valuation Model (It’s free) >>> What Happened? Palantir Technologies stock rose about 14% this week, finishing near $147 per share, as investors reacted to strong earnings momentum and continued enthusiasm around the company’s artificial intelligence software platform. The rally was driven primarily by Palantir’s latest earnings results released this week, which showed accelerating demand for its AI platforms across both commercial and government customers. The company reported fourth quarter revenue of $1.41 billion, up 70% year over year, while U.S. revenue surged 93% to $1.08 billion. U.S. commercial revenue jumped 137% to $507 million, and U.S. government revenue rose 66% to $570 million, highlighting rapid adoption of Palantir’s AI software across enterprise and defense markets. Management also highlighted record deal activity and strong forward visibility. Palantir closed its largest total contract value quarter ever at $4.3 billion, ended the quarter with $11.2 billion in remaining deal value, and generated $791 million in adjusted free cash flow. CEO Alex Karp emphasized the company’s momentum, saying “these numbers are extraordinary because they’re fully organic.” Recent institutional filings showed active positioning around the stock. Kingsview Wealth Management increased its Palantir stake by 55.6%, Harvest Portfolios Group boosted its holdings by 37.9%, and Huntington National Bank expanded its position by 648% to 399,195 shares worth about $72.8 million. Other firms also increased exposure, including Arete Wealth Advisors, which raised its stake by 23.5%, while some investors trimmed holdings, including APG Asset Management, which reduced its position by 18.9%, and Rafferty Asset Management, whi...

The company provides products like Windows, Azure, Office, LinkedIn, and Xbox. Cramer discussed the company’s stock decline during the February 6 episode and said: That same night, we heard from Microsoft, and the market was not amused. Mr. Softee’s Azure cloud unit saw a deceleration of its revenue growth in part because they were sending essential NVIDIA chips to other parts of the business, including Copilot, so they couldn’t keep up with the Azure demand. Meanwhile, Copilot doesn’t seem to have much demand. They boasted that their AI platform has 15 million paid users, which sounded pretty pitiful to me, given the way that they cram this thing into every aspect of Microsoft Office. While we acknowledge the potential of MSFT as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
