Welcome to Next Africa, a daily newsletter on where the continent stands now — and where it’s headed. Sign up here to have it delivered to your email. In today’s edition we look at how fragile global trade routes are, whether they be the Gulf straits channeling the world’s oil or a small bridge in central Africa that funnels key new-energy minerals. Gold and oil surge on Iran conflict Another African war looks likely And finally, Kenya’s central bank chief says his job is easy Swept Away A critical energy chokepoint got cut off at the weekend, exposing the fragility of global trade routes. And we’re not talking about the Suez Canal or Strait of Hormuz that’s clogged by the war on Iran . Heavy rains in northern Zambia washed away a bridge on the highway south of its main border crossing with Democratic Republic of Congo, severing what’s become one of the world’s most important supply routes for copper . The bulk of exports from Congo have historically flowed through the Kasumbalesa border with Zambia, before trucks haul the produce to ports around southern Africa. Congo has raced to become the second-biggest producer of the metal that’s critical to powering data centers, electric vehicles, and even defense industries, with Zambia’s output expanding rapidly too. Zambian authorities are now rushing to repair the collapsed Kakosa bridge and reopen the route. Given it’s a small stream, the collapse probably won’t have an enduring impact on global copper markets, but the incident serves as a stark reminder of just how vulnerable the world economy is to trading chokepoints. The latest Iran conflict has also dimmed hopes of an imminent revival for the Suez Canal, a key pillar of the Egyptian economy. For Zambia and Congo, the blockage highlights the urgent need to build more diversified logistics as they ramp up copper shipments to a global industry that can’t get enough of the metal. The US and European Union are already involved in helping to refurbish and expand a centur...

Algimantas Barzdzius/iStock via Getty Images Co-authored by Kody's Dividends As analysts, we enjoy covering Dividend Aristocrats. Why is this the case? Because we are "show us" investors. We don't like to just hear about how companies value their shareholders. We appreciate it when they demonstrate their regard for shareholders through their actions and words aligning with each other. Dividend raises year after year do the most to convince us of a company's commitment to shareholders. That's because we believe doing so is the true litmus test of quality for dividend stocks. Returning more cash to shareholders each year is only something that the following businesses can sustainably do: Companies with proven business models. These reliably generate higher earnings over time, which supports growing dividend payments to shareholders. Businesses with manageable payout ratios. We look for payout ratios that are better than the industry-safe standards set forth by rating agencies. This provides a cushion for the dividend through periods of temporary challenges. Companies with investment-grade balance sheets. By maintaining solid financials, a company is less likely to be put in the position to choose between an investment-grade credit rating (and an accretive cost of capital to go along with it) and its dividend obligation to shareholders. This brings us to our focus for today, which is Eversource Energy ( ES ). Just last month, ES upped its quarterly dividend per share by 4.7% to $0.7875 . This raise built on its reputation of already being a Dividend Aristocrat. ES is one of the least shorted utilities in its sector , a unique distinction in the market as a whole. When we last covered ES with a "Buy" rating in January , we thought its 5% to 7% annual non-GAAP EPS growth target was attainable. We also appreciated its BBB+ S&P credit rating. Clinching the buy case, shares were trading at a double-digit percentage to our fair value estimate. Fast forward to today, and we'r...

Redfox_Ca/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Recap I originally covered The Brink's Company ( BCO ) in May of last year following their Q1 2025 earnings release. At that time, the stock traded for about $86 per share and, according to my free cash flow valuation model, appeared to be overpriced by quite a bit. Since my initial write-up, the stock has had a return of more than 34%, approximately double that of the S&P 500, as measured by ( SPY ). Additionally, the share price recently took a big hit following their Q4 2025 earnings call, and the announcement of a deal to acquire NCR Atleos for $6.6B in cash and stock. Due to these recent events, let's take another look at Brink's and try to ascertain where the company might go from here. Data by YCharts Q4 Earnings and 2025 Full-Year Results On Thursday, February 26th, Brink's announced their Q4 2025 & Full-Year earnings results after the market closed. The company reported Q4 earnings per share of $1.62, missing analyst estimates by a wide margin ($0.86), on revenue of $1.38B, which exceeded analyst expectations by roughly $25M and was a year-over-year rise of 9%. Moreover, Non-GAAP earnings per share were $2.54, $0.07 above the consensus. Full fiscal 2025 results showed GAAP EPS of $4.70, a 30% increase relative to FY24, and Non-GAAP EPS of $8.05, a 12% jump compared to fiscal 2024. Finally, full-year revenue grew about 5% to $5.26B. Quarterly Results: In total, revenue increased $115M, or 9%, with organic growth and foreign currency translation contributing to the bulk of that jump, while M&A activity minimally impacted these results. Operating earnings surged more than 70% in Q4, as the operating margin improved nearly 500 bps to close the quarter north of 13%. North America revenue increased 9%, from $420M to $456M, all stemming from organic growth, and strong operational efficiency, as well as route optimization. Operating earnings for this segment expanded by ~$22M, a stunning 42% jump. Latin America fared diff...
