United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) delivers around 20.8 million packages every day. But it hasn't been delivering for investors in recent years. Despite a bounce that began a few months ago, UPS' share price remains down roughly 37% since early 2023. Some might view UPS as the kind of stock to not touch with a 10-foot pole. Not me.

Getty Images Fintechs like Chime Financial ( CHYM ) have been silently benefiting from a systemic trend in financial services. Ahead of CHYM reporting its Q4 2025 results on Wednesday, February 25, I would like to posit my view on this trend in question and evaluate an investment case for this San Francisco-based company incorporated in 2012 and publicly listed in June of 2025. Formerly known as 1Debit Inc., the current Chime avatar resonates more closely with its branding efforts. The firm offers a range of banking, financial, and payment services to a diverse demographic, and although the target market may have begun with the underserved and unbanked, there is evidence to show that the brand itself is moving up the socioeconomic ladder into increasingly elite cohorts. Q3 results already pointed to evidence of this back in November of 2025: fastest-growing segment is members earning $75,000 or more annually Average Revenue per Active Member (ARPAM) grew 6% year-over-year to $245 Of course, I recognize that "elite cohorts" may be a bit of an overstatement, but the trend I am referring to, also known as "soft switching", appears to be silently affecting large banks and gradually moving preferred payment modes and savings accounts down the banking hierarchy to fintechs like Chime. As a result of this soft-switching, where users open secondary bank accounts with fintechs like Chime and then make those their primary accounts, Chime stands to be a major beneficiary in a tight monetary regime. In effect, this not-so-unique trend of soft switching is similar to cord cutting for media and entertainment. Traditional cable eventually give way to more user-friendly, customized Over-The-Top or OTT experiences that users migrated to. I would not go so far as to call Chime the Netflix ( NFLX ) of fintech, but some of the similarities are undeniable. What We Know from Q3 These macro trends represent the demand flywheel for Chime's revenue growth, but since there is only a single r...

Snow falls in New York. Picture Alliance | Picture Alliance | Getty Images U.S. natural gas prices rose nearly 3% on Monday as a massive winter storm hit the northeast of the country, affecting 35 million people and leaving hundreds of thousands without power. It comes as cities and towns across the U.S. east coast brace for a major late-winter storm, with forecasters warning of between 1 to 2 feet of snow in many areas, winds of up to 70 miles per hour and coastal flooding. Natural gas futures for March delivery traded 2.7% higher at $3.13 per million British thermal units at 9 a.m. London time (4 a.m. ET), paring earlier gains. The National Weather Service (NWS) said it had placed 35 million U.S. residents under a blizzard warning from Sunday through to Monday. New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani on Sunday declared a local state of emergency and ordered a citywide travel ban for all vehicles but emergency travel between 9 p.m. local time on Sunday through to midday on Monday. Mamdani said public schools would also have a "snow day" on Monday. "No online school, no remote learning, full classic snow day," Mamdani said in a social media post on X.

SiyueSteuber/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Adobe's ( ADBE ) thesis has long been treated as an “AI loser” by the market. The current perception is that it doesn't matter if the company continues to report massive free cash flows, has permanently robust margins, and has an extremely large installed base anchored by workflow and switching cost moats. If Adobe has slowed down its forward-looking metrics—especially its Average Recurring Revenue “ARR”—the company no longer deserves to trade at rich multiples. While this may seem overly harsh, the growth slowdown implies that new entrants to the creative market are no longer seeing Adobe as the best option, especially when the demand for precision content creation isn't strictly necessary, and AI-native platforms like LLMs increasingly seem to be able to do a decent job. That's why, as long as Adobe doesn't show clear signs of reaccelerating its ARR, I don't think it's likely that the market will "buy the dip" even if ADBE trades at dismal valuation multiples. On the other hand, Adobe is still an extremely solid business under the lenses of balance sheet and cash flows, and its core is not shrinking; it's just maturing, which makes the downside more contained and supports my Hold rating on the company's shares. Two Drawdowns and Two Narratives for ADBE The graph below shows ADBE at two different moments in its recent history, but with similar proportions in its market value. Data by YCharts Data by YCharts The first of these, in 2022, still marks the biggest drawdown in the company's recent history (at the time of writing), as it plummeted 60% from November 19, 2021 (all-time highs), to September 30, 2022, when it reached $275 per share. The context at the time was of a bear market hitting tech stocks hard with inflated multiples after COVID-19 tailwinds, with massive user adoption in an officially stimulated economy, while a large portion of the world was locked up at home. Once the bottom was reached in 2022, Adobe'...
