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...

Deloitte unveils physical AI solutions built with NVIDIA Omniverse Libraries to help accelerate industrial transformation

Nintendo has a history of fleshing out the larger Pokémon world through spinoffs. What games from the Pokémon Snap and Detective Pikachu series lacked in terms of action, they made up for in the way they made pokémon feel like creatures with rich lives outside of their relationships with trainers. And as the mainline series has evolved over the years, games like Legends: Z-A have begun putting more emphasis on the idea that pokémon might be better off if humans kept their distance. Pokémon spinoffs have also tended to be relatively boxed-in, both in terms of how much space there is for you to play in and the way their stories are so self-co … Read the full story at The Verge.

Navan Inc. is rolling out an artificial-intelligence assistant aimed at helping the corporate travel-booking platform win more business customers. Navan Edge, debuting this week, will make it easier for travelers to book flights, hotels and restaurants. Navan co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Ariel Cohen likens it to a hyper-personalized executive assistant. “You are getting this amazing EA, that usually costs a lot of money, for free,” Cohen said in an interview. “Our mission is to make travel easy for every frequent traveler.” The product underscores how companies are using fast-developing AI to shape their customer experiences. The tool is also bit of a departure for Navan in that it will be available to anyone who signs up on the company’s website, regardless of whether they have access to Navan through work. The idea is to extend the company’s reach into the $56 billion business travel marketplace beyond corporate users already on the platform, he said. “We want every business traveler to use us and make it easier for them,” Cohen said. “This actually unlocks an area that was not open to us in the same way.” Navan Edge, which Navan developed in-house, uses data from the company’s millions of bookings made by more than 10,000 companies, according to a statement Monday. Founded in 2015, Navan also offers expense management and other tools.

Got $3,000? 3 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Long Term The Motley Fool

Artificial intelligence presents a tailwind rather than a threat for Netflix , according to JPMorgan. JPMorgan resumed coverage of the streaming giant following a period of restriction. The bank now views Netflix as a buy, up from neutral. Analyst Doug Anmuth's new price target on Netflix is $120 signals a gain of 25%, though it's down from a previous forecast of $124. The upgrade follows Netflix's decision to walk away from its deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery after an offer from Paramount Skydance was deemed superior. NFLX 1Y mountain NFLX 1Y chart Anmuth applauded Netflix's strong underlying fundamentals. He wrote that the company remains committed to margin expansion. "We believe NFLX remains a healthy organic growth story, driven by a combination of strong content, global subscriber growth, continued pricing power, & an early-stage/under-monetized Ad tier," he said. "We expect continued strong FCF generation, & we look for elevated share repurchases in 2026 driven by the $2.8B termination fee & a currently opportunistic share price" Anmuth also views artificial intelligence as a tailwind, rather than a headwind. "AI should drive improved content discovery & personalization, better advertising solutions & measurement, & ultimately reduce content production costs. While AI video models such as Bytedance's Seedance 2.0 and others reduce barriers to content creation, we believe storytelling and talent will remain critical moats, ultimately better insulating NFLX from AI disruption risk compared to transactional business models," he wrote. As another upcoming tailwind, Anmuth predicts that Netflix's viewing hours will continue to grow from here. Viewing hours for Netflix originals already accelerated to 9% in the second half of 2025, and the analyst nodded to the company's strong content slate for 2026. Anmuth also sees a U.S. price increase as possible in the middle or latter half of the year. The analyst added that Netflix's ad revenue is expected to double to a...

格隆汇3月2日｜美国2年期国债收益率跳升逾6个基点，最新报3.4444%。

要点： 在美以对伊朗发动袭击后，航运巨头已暂停通过具有战略重要性的霍尔木兹海峡的运营。 中东冲突加剧了人们对关键海上走廊全球贸易长期中断的担忧。 马士基、地中海航运、赫伯罗特和达飞海运均在安全局势恶化的情况下发布了新的指导意见。 中东不断升级的战争加剧了人们对通过霍尔木兹海峡和曼德海峡等关键海上走廊的全球贸易可能长期中断的担忧。 上周末，美国和以色列对伊朗发动袭击后，集装箱航运巨头已暂停通过具有战略重要性的霍尔木兹海峡的运营，并将船只改道绕行非洲南端。 丹麦航运公司马士基在一份声明中表示，将暂停所有船只通过霍尔木兹海峡，直至另行通知，并警告称，停靠阿拉伯海湾港口的服务可能会出现延误。 霍尔木兹海峡位于阿曼和伊朗之间的海湾，被公认为世界上最重要的石油运输咽喉要道之一。根据美国能源信息署的数据，2023年，通过该水道的平均石油流量为每日2090万桶，约占全球石油液体消费量的20%。 被广泛视为全球贸易晴雨表的马士基表示，中东局势也促使其暂停未来通过曼德海峡的苏伊士运河以东航线的航行，直至另行通知。 曼德海峡是一条狭窄的海上咽喉要道，位于非洲之角和中东之间，连接红海与亚丁湾及印度洋。据估计，2023年上半年，曼德海峡的石油贸易量占全球海运石油贸易量的12%，液化天然气贸易量占8%。 马士基表示，所有中东-印度至地中海以及中东-印度至美国东海岸航线的船只都将改道绕行好望角。 Xeneta首席分析师彼得·桑德表示，至少只要冲突持续，中东地区的集装箱运费就应该会考虑上涨因素，并补充说，对于海运而言“没有真正的替代方案”。 “过去几年，地缘政治风险以比以往更高的频率和更严重的程度展现出其丑陋的一面，”桑德周一告诉媒体。 “我认为也可以公平地说，业界也有些疲劳了，因为你制定了10套应急计划，却因为出现了新的转折和新的角度而不得不全部撕掉重来。” 即使油轮只是暂时无法通过霍尔木兹海峡，也可能推高全球能源价格，增加运输成本，并造成严重的供应延迟。 霍尔木兹海峡对全球集装箱贸易也至关重要。该地区的港口，如杰贝 阿里 港和豪尔费坎港，是全球航运网络中的中转枢纽。 除马士基外，德国集装箱航运公司赫伯罗特上周末表示，考虑到船员的安全保障，将暂停所有途经霍尔木兹海峡的船只航行。 法国的达飞海运上周六表示，已指示其所有在海湾内及驶往该地区的船只前往安全地点避难。达飞表示，通过苏伊士运河的航行也已暂...

Traders aggressively trimmed bets on Bank of England interest-rate cuts, after soaring energy prices fueled inflation fears. Swaps tied to policy-meeting dates assign less than a 50% chance that policymakers will lower the key rate a quarter-point to 3.5% later this month, down from more than 80% last week. The probability of two cuts this year has also fallen sharply. European gas prices jumped 50% after Qatar shut down production of liquefied natural gas after it was targeted in a military attack. Oil prices have also surged sharply.
