Manuel Milan/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Repsol ( REPYY ) ( REPYF ) said Thursday it signed an agreement with the Venezuelan government and state-owned oil company PDVSA to regain control of its operations in the country and take steps toward increasing production. In contrast to other oil producers that stayed out of Venezuela for the past two decades and are now reluctant to return, Repsol ( REPYY ) ( REPYF ) has operated in the country since 1993 and has indicated a willingness to raise production there under certain conditions. The Petroquiriquire oil field accounts for most of Repsol's ( REPYY ) ( REPYF ) ~45K bbl/day gross oil production in Venezuela; PDVSA holds a 60% stake in the field, and Repsol owns 40%. "We have the assets and the technical, operational, and human capacities on the ground to increase our production in the country," Executive Managing Director of Exploration and Production Francisco Gea said. The agreement with the Venezuelan government and PDVSA also looks to guarantee payment mechanisms and strengthen the framework for operations in the country, Repsol ( REPYY ) ( REPYF ) said.

Getty Images The First Trust Nasdaq Semiconductor ETF ( FTXL ) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund designed to track the performance of the US semiconductor market. With major announcements for large data center developments, semiconductor sourcing, and advanced fabrication, FTXL may be an appealing investment strategy for those seeking diversified exposure to semiconductor designers, fabricators, and capital equipment manufacturers. Given the robust market outlook, I am recommending FTXL with a Buy rating. Investment Thesis for FTXL The semiconductor market entered 2026 with a lot of uncertainty regarding the viability of the AI growth theme, effectively exhibiting flat performance early on in the year before gaining momentum. With the emerging war in Iran, concerns regarding helium supply quickly gained attention by the market, though I do not believe that this supply constraint will be as impactful as initially expected given the US’s excess supply of natural gas from which helium is fractionated. I believe momentum in the industry is picking up with one central theme that sprouts into several market segments:AI data center growth The headline factor is tied to companies like Nvidia ( NVDA ), Broadcom ( AVGO ), Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ), Marvell Technology ( MRVL ), Micron Technology ( MU ), and Intel Corp. ( INTC ) from an AI chip designer perspective. In addition to these names, Qualcomm ( QCOM ) announced a new series of chips to compete in the AI accelerator market in late-2025. Driving growth in the advanced computing corner of the semiconductor market is the driving need for compute capacity, particularly when considering the gradually increasing adoption of agentic AI and the transition towards inferencing. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that cloud services providers have been increasing GPU rental prices given the significant demand for compute capacity. In short: demand continues to outstrip supply. This means that the investment ...

Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The UK's antitrust regulator is calling for Shutterstock ( SSTK ) to sell its entire editorial business to Getty Images ( GETY ) in order for a deal to be approved. The Competition and Markets Authority in the UK said in February that the proposed merger of Getty Images ( GETY ) and Shutterstock ( SSTK ) may reduce competition in the supply of editorial content in the region. "We have provisionally found that the Wider Shutterstock Editorial Divestiture is likely to be the least onerous remedy and it is our preferred remedy, the CMA said in an interim report on Thursday. The CMA's decisions aren't final and a decision is due by June 14. “We disagree with the provisional conclusions set out in the CMA’s interim report on remedies,” a Getty Images spokesperson said in a statement to Bloomberg. The merger will not have an adverse impact on competition in the supply of editorial content in the UK and the two companies will provide more evidence to the regulator, their spokespeople said in separate statements. The U.S. Dept. of Justice approved the combination of Getty Images ( GETY ) and Shutterstock ( SSTK ) in February. The $3.7 billion Getty-Shutterstock deal was announced in January 2025. The UK regulator began reviewing it in August. More on Shutterstock, Getty Images Holdings Shutterstock: Surviving In An AI World Is Going To Be Tough Getty Images Holdings, Inc.

In this article NFLX Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT The Netflix logo is seen on an office building in Los Angeles, California, on Feb. 5, 2026. Michael Yanow | Nurphoto | Getty Images Netflix kicks off earnings season for media companies on Thursday with a quarterly report that Wall Street hopes will give more updates on the company's path forward after walking away from its proposed deal for Warner Bros. Discovery . Here's how Netflix is expected to perform when it reports results for the first quarter of 2026 , according to estimates from analysts polled by LSEG: Earnings per share: 76 cents estimated Revenue: $12.18 billion estimated Last quarter Netflix's management focused much of its earnings call with investors on its interest in WBD's streaming and film assets, as well as progress in its advertising business. Just weeks after the January earnings update, however, Netflix dropped its pursuit for WBD after Paramount Skydance put forth a superior offer for the entirety of WBD. "Heading into earnings, Netflix finds itself in a very different spot than many expected just a month and a half ago. We were supposed to be talking about the company's progress toward closing the Warner Bros. deal," said Mike Proulx, vice president and research director at Forrester. "Instead, the question now is how Netflix competes in a streaming market that's likely to get more crowded at the top." While Netflix's stock has made considerable gains since walking away from its WBD deal — a more than 25% rally — it has raised questions about the path forward for the streaming giant. In withdrawing from the acquisition of WBD, Netflix "avoided a substantial increase in debt, extensive regulatory scrutiny , and a long, complex integration process," according to a Deutsche Bank research note on Monday. The note added this will allow Wall Street to return its focus to Netflix's engagement, pricing and advertising. Outside of the WBD deal and Netflix's potential aspirations i...

Mortgage rates in the US fell for a second week as the spring home sales season gets off to a sluggish start. The average rate for 30-year , fixed loans was 6.3%, down from 6.37% last week, Freddie Mac reported on Thursday. The housing market has been rattled by the war in Iran, which has fueled inflation fears and pushed mortgage rates higher after they briefly dipped below 6% in late February. Sales of previously-owned homes declined in March to the lowest level since June, the National Association of Realtors reported , and it downgraded its year-over-year volume projection for 2026 to 4% from a previous estimate of 14%. “Prospects for April don’t look much better, as timely indicators point to weakening housing demand following a recent jump in mortgage rates and a collapse in consumer confidence – both knock-on effects of the Iran conflict,” Thomas Ryan , North America economist for Capital Economics, said in a note.

Six months ago, Nvidia 's (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock price was $183 per share. Six months later, it is barely $5 above that level. This is not what most Nvidia investors expected. Additionally, during that same time frame, Nvidia had two quarterly earnings reports where it disclosed accelerating revenue growth. Using the same logic that got Nvidia to the spot of the world's largest company, that should have ignited a rally and sent Nvidia to fresh all-time highs, but that's not what has happened. I think there are a few things that will take Nvidia to new highs , and all of them could fall into line over the next few weeks. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading
