Delta Air Lines Inc signed a deal with Amazon.com Inc’s Leo to bring low-Earth orbit satellite Wi-Fi to 500 aircraft starting in 2028.

The mighty Zambezi River has its source in northern Zambia, and flows north, west, south, then east, tracing borders for several countries including Zimbabwe. As the river enters Zimbabwe, the water molecules begin to flow faster, unknowingly energised – developing first into a rush, then eventually a torrent as they plunge down the Victoria Falls. This is an excellent analogy of the extremes of s...
The mighty Zambezi River has its source in northern Zambia, and flows north, west, south, then east, tracing borders for several countries including Zimbabwe. As the river enters Zimbabwe, the water molecules begin to flow faster, unknowingly energised – developing first into a rush, then eventually a torrent as they plunge down the Victoria Falls. This is an excellent analogy of the extremes of stock market price movements. In a stock market crash, prices move slowly, then very fast. My...

hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images With fears of an AI-induced software apocalypse hitting markets, Workday, Inc. ( WDAY ) clearly hasn't been spared in the carnage. As shown in the chart below, the stock has seen losses of over 40% in the past six months and the bulk of those declines have occurred this year. Interestingly, despite being a tech focused analyst, I haven't initiated coverage on this SaaS giant yet. Given the current state of things, I believe that now is the right time to take a look at their fundamentals and give readers my analysis. Seeking Alpha Below, little signs of a SaaSpocalypse are found. Growth actually accelerated in their Q4 and margins expanded. Moving forward, guidance for FY2027 was decent but slower margin expansion may be a near term risk as the company continues to invest in AI. For long term investors this may actually be a good sign. With the forward P/E now at clearly depressed levels, I have decided to initiate Workday at a buy rating as the end of the line for the company is really nowhere in sight. AI Integration Workday Q4 Presentation While the market is fretting about AI disruption for Workday, in reality the company has integrated AI deep within their enterprise solutions. In just a second, we'll see how successful the company has been in monetizing this but at least it is clear from the above infographic that they haven't been slow to adapt to a changing landscape. As you can see, they have a strong ecosystem of agents including Workday Agents and so it seems that the company has been quick to react to the boom in agentic AI. Growth Accelerated Seeking Alpha Workday reported their FY2026 Q4 earnings in late February. Let's start with the top line numbers. The company generated total revenues of $2.532 billion, up 14.5% YoY. This is an acceleration of growth from the previous quarter's 12.6% increase and so it actually seems that Workday's business trajectory is improving. For their subscription revenues specifical...

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has asked the US Army’s top uniformed officer, General Randy George, to step down, the Pentagon said Thursday, as the United States wages a war against Iran. A Pentagon official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter, confirmed that George has been asked to take early retirement from the post of Army chief of staff, which he has held since August 2023. The ousting of George is just the latest of more than a dozen firings of top...

Kosamtu/iStock via Getty Images In 2026, the market quickly shed last year’s bullish optimism and veered sharply into “risk off” mode. Investors are watching escalating tensions in Iran, rising oil prices, and a weakened consumer economy. Bob’s Discount Furniture ( BOBS ), which braved market turbulence to go public this year at $17 per share, falls into two unfortunate categories: recent IPOs and retail stocks, both of which have sold off meaningfully since the start of the year. But with Bob’s now down by more than 30% since the IPO price, we have to ask: I s now finally the right time to dive in? Data by YCharts I believe that investors have pushed many retail names down to unfairly low valuation multiples. Though certainly no growth star, Bob’s is a company with significant room for expansion and executes well in a tough climate. With valuation multiples now pushing down to very reasonable levels, I’m initiating the stock at a "Buy" rating. Everyday low-value furniture store, targeting national expansion Before we slice into Bob’s latest financials and how the stock’s valuation stacks up against the latest expectations, let’s get a lay of the land on the company’s footprint. Bob’s began with a single location in Connecticut 35 years ago, in 1991. Since then, the company has grown to a whopping 209 stores as of the end of FY25. The snapshot below showcases the company’s store footprint, dated as of the company’s finalized IPO prospectus, which showed the company’s footprint at the end of Q3 (the company only opened 3 net new stores in Q4). Bob's store footprint (Bob's finalized IPO prospectus) Bob’s footprint spans 26 states. Its densest market is on the East Coast, where the company was founded. The regions of New England, New York, and the mid-Atlantic together drive 61% of company revenue. The company has more recently begun to expand to the west coast, with 29 stores in California (overall revenue in the west region is still under a fifth of sales). The compa...
