Luis Alvarez/DigitalVision via Getty Images April 2nd was a really rough day for shareholders of Acuity Inc. ( AYI ). The stock dropped over 7.5% in late afternoon trading after management reported, prior to the market opening, financial results for the second quarter of the company's 2026 fiscal year. Although revenue and earnings both increased year over year, they fell short of analysts’ expectations . This is disappointing to say the least. But there is some good news here. And this is the fact that the stock is now trading cheaper than it was. In fact, based on recent growth and how cheap shares appear to be at the moment, I would actually argue that upgrading it from the Hold I rated it in January of this year to a very soft Buy makes sense. The picture finally looks good enough In the past, I have been rather neutral about Acuity. In my January article, for instance, I acknowledged that the business was achieving operational improvements. However, the stock was not yet cheap enough to justify anything other than a Hold rating. Since then, however, shares are down 17%. That's far worse than the 5.4% drop that the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) experienced over the same window of time. It is worth noting that, since I originally rated it a Hold way back in March of 2022, the stock is up just a bit less than the market is, having risen 44.2% compared to the 50.7% rise that the market enjoyed. But even back then, the stock looked a bit more expensive from a valuation standpoint than I wanted it to be. Author - SEC EDGAR Data You would think, judging by recent underperformance, that the company was experiencing issues. But I would challenge that narrative. Year over year for the second quarter of the 2026 fiscal year, revenue grew from $1.01 billion to $1.06 billion. While that meant that the company still fell short of expectations that analysts had given to the tune of $25.1 million, it still represents a nice increase. We saw a similar thing when it came to profitability. E...

RHJ/iStock via Getty Images Anfield Energy ( AEC ) has been one of the top-performing stocks of the entire stock market in the last 12 months. The stock has surged 93%, and thus it has outperformed the S&P 500, which has gained 17%, by an impressive margin. The outstanding performance of Anfield Energy has resulted from the bright outlook of nuclear power and the ideal positioning of the company to benefit from the expected boom of nuclear power. The big question is whether the stock remains attractive after such a steep rally. Business overview Anfield Energy is engaged in the exploration, development, and production of mineral properties in the U.S. It is primarily focused on uranium, vanadium, and gold properties. Uranium is the key input of nuclear reactors, while vanadium is a vital metal in many industries, such as construction, aerospace, and automotive. Nuclear power was suffering from negative public sentiment for decades due to two catastrophic accidents, namely the accident at Chernobyl, Ukraine, in 1986 and the accident in Fukushima, Japan, in 2011. Due to these two accidents, the global energy produced by nuclear plants has remained essentially flat over the last two decades. Nuclear Generation Per Year (World Nuclear Association) Source: World Nuclear Association However, the global energy landscape is currently going through a major transition. The demand for energy is likely to grow significantly in the upcoming years thanks to the secular boom of AI data centers. As nearly all countries are doing their best to curtail the consumption of fossil fuels, the incremental demand should be covered with clean energy sources. Solar and wind power plants are clean sources of energy, but they are not 100% reliable, as they cannot generate energy on a continuous basis due to the volatile nature of weather. Therefore, nuclear power is widely viewed as the ideal solution, as it is both clean and continuous. Uranium is the primary input of nuclear reactors, and he...

A Second Amendment Roadmap For The Next Attorney General Authored by Aidan Johnston via Gun Owners of America , President Trump campaigned on restoring robust protections for the Second Amendment. Yet more than a year into his second term, gun owners feel disillusioned, and many are planning to sit out the midterm elections. Having viewed President Trump’s election as a generational opportunity to course-correct, the stark reality is that not all that much has changed with respect to the nation’s gun laws. Gun owners’ frustration centers not on the Administration’s broader record, but on the large number of times the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi has fallen short on gun rights. Ms. Bondi entered office with a mixed record on the Second Amendment. During her time as Florida’s attorney general, she supported a number of anti-gun restrictions after the Parkland shooting, including red flag laws, raising the age for gun ownership, Florida’s open carry ban, and a ban on bump stocks. Understandably, then, gun rights groups voiced concerns during her nomination. In retrospect, they were completely justified. For starters, President Trump ordered Bondi to prepare and submit a report examining Second Amendment infringements. But DOJ then sought an extension, and the deadline for DOJ's report came and went with no public evidence that it was ever delivered. This has left a visible gap where decisive action was promised. But gun owners aren’t just disappointed in a lack of a public roadmap. D OJ and ATF thus far have failed to curtail three major Biden-era rules that candidate Trump pledged to eliminate in his first week. First , Biden’s so-called “ghost-gun” regulation survived Supreme Court review in a case that the Trump Department of Justice should have immediately rendered moot. Second , a regulatory ban on pistol stabilizing braces continues to be enforced against some firearms despite pro-gun injunctions. Third , Biden’s universal background che...

monsitj/iStock via Getty Images Gold futures fell Thursday as the dollar and oil prices rose after President Trump's televised address last night dashed hopes for some clearer guidelines on how the conflict in Iran would end, sparking concerns about inflation as well as expectations of higher interest rates, denting risk appetite. Analysts said in vestors are worried that higher oil prices will drive up inflation, leading to fewer rate cuts and even potential increases , blunting gold's safe-haven appeal. Meanwhile, e xpectations of further global supply-chain disruptions are also supporting persistent strength in the U.S. dollar, making dollar-priced bullion less affordable to other currency holders. Trump's "promise to send Iran back to the Stone Age contrasted with his previous statement about ending the conflict within 2-3 weeks amid successful negotiations," and the uncertainty created headwinds for gold, FxPro chief market analyst Alex Kuptsikevich said in a note. Sentiment also may have been hurt by news that the Turkish central bank's gold reserves fell by 69.1 metric tons to 702.5 tons last week, bringing the drop in the last two weeks to more than 118 tons. Front-month Comex gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ) for April delivery slumped 2.7% on Thursday to $4,651.50/oz, while front-month Comex April silver ( XAGUSD:CUR ) fell 4.1% to $72.735/oz; for the abbreviated four-day week, gold gained 3.5% to snap a four-week losing skid, and silver added 4.5%.
