The United States is seeking a fair and enduring competition with China, along with strengthening its economic and political relationships with Latin America, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Tuesday. He termed this the strategy of reducing vulnerabilities without cutting ties with Beijing. Speaking at an investor conference in Sao Paulo, hosted by the Brazilian bank BTG Pactual, Bessent said that Washington did not want to sever economic ties with China. Still, it was trying to reduce exposure in areas relevant to national security “We will be competitors, but we want that competition to be fair,” Bessent told the audience. “We do not want to decouple from China, but we need to reduce risks.” Advertisement He cited critical minerals, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals as examples of strategic areas in which the US wants greater domestic capability and supply chain diversification, noting that the global economy “cannot support a situation where China has a recurring trade surplus of about $1 trillion”, signalling that Beijing needs to change its growth model. Bessent’s comments come before expected talks with Chinese Vice-Premier He Lifeng in the coming weeks and a planned visit by US President Donald Trump to China in April. This trip is part of efforts by both countries to stabilise commercial relations amid ongoing strategic competition.

Micron and Broadcom offer diversified exposure to the generative AI opportunity. Analysts at Goldman Sachs expect big tech giants to spend over half a trillion dollars on AI-related capital expenditure in 2026. And much of that money is going to data center hardware like AI accelerator chips, high-bandwidth memory devices, and various types of networking equipment. The eye-popping level of hardware spending contrasts with low profits and often huge losses on the consumer-facing software side of the industry. This dynamic means investors can maximize returns by betting on pick-and-shovel providers like Micron Technology (MU 2.61%) and Broadcom (AVGO 1.01%). Let's discuss why these potential millionaire makers could make great picks in February and beyond. Expand NASDAQ : MU Micron Technology Today's Change ( -2.61 %) $ -10.00 Current Price $ 373.50 Key Data Points Market Cap $432B Day's Range $ 366.10 - $ 382.78 52wk Range $ 61.54 - $ 455.50 Volume 1.3M Avg Vol 32M Gross Margin 45.53 % Dividend Yield 0.12 % Micron Technology With shares up by over 300% in the last 12 months, Micron Technology's bull run is already in full swing. Investors are getting more excited about the memory hardware specialist as ravenous AI needs send demand for its hardware soaring. With a rock-bottom valuation and memory shortages projected to continue for the next few years, the company's long-term rally might be just getting started. While Micron's stock is doing great right now, it wasn't always like this. In fact, the stock is known for generating practically no growth between the dot-com bubble in 2000 and the year 2020. Shares have historically underperformed because memory hardware is commoditized. Micron's products are not well differentiated from chips created by its rivals, which can lead to substantial price competition and boom-and-bust cycles as production capacity rises to meet demand. Generative AI has shaken up this old paradigm by sending memory demand up much faster than su...

(RTTNews) - YouTube Music (GOOGL) has begun rolling out a new feature that lets Premium subscribers create playlists with simple text or voice prompts. The tool, called "AI Playlist," lets users describe a mood, concept, or genre and automatically generates a curated list of tracks. The feature is available on both Android and iOS and can be accessed from the Library tab by selecting the "New" option and choosing AI Playlist. Google positions the tool as an easy way to turn abstract ideas into music selections, offering a more conversational approach to playlist creation. While the company has outlined the basic workflow, several details remain unclear. Google has not specified how many songs are included in each playlist, whether users can edit prompts after generation, or if playlists can be refreshed over time. Those capabilities are available in similar tools offered by rivals, but YouTube Music has yet to confirm whether they will be supported here. The launch builds on YouTube Music's earlier introduction of AI Radio, which also uses artificial intelligence to generate music based on user preferences. Together, the additions signal Google's broader push to use AI to personalize music discovery, though for now the new playlist feature remains limited to paying subscribers. GOOGL currently trades at $319.51 or 1.48% lower on the NasdaqGS.

道明证券（TD Securities）的利率策略师表示，近几个月来，外国买家在美国中长期国债拍卖中占比持续提升，缓解了市场对避险属性受损以及巨额财政赤字可能令海外资金却步的担忧。 道明证券对美国财政部数据的分析显示，1月份，外国及国际账户在美国国债拍卖中的获配比例约19%，创近三年来最高水平。过去五年中，这一比例曾在2022年初一度高达近25%，此后在2024年11月降至不足10%。 美国发行七种常规美国国债，期限从2年至30年不等，以及三种通胀保值国债（TIPS）。道明证券策略师Gennadiy Goldberg、Jan Nevruzi和Molly Brooks在报告中表示，外国账户在国债拍卖中的获配比例上升，“覆盖面相对广泛”。 “我们获得的数据越多，就越觉得所谓的‘抛售美国’交易更多是一种叙事，而非现实，”Goldberg在接受采访时表示。 美国财政部的另一组数据显示，外国投资者在2025年4月关税宣布后曾卖出530亿美元美国国债，但此后至11月又增持了3540亿美元美债。 “当你询问许多外国投资者如何处理其美债持仓时，他们会承认对其他投资者抛售感到紧张，但至少以我们的经验来看，大多数人并未承认自己在卖出美债，”Goldberg表示。 道明证券称，外国投资者在11月和12月美债拍卖中的参与度明显上升，表明期限溢价 —— 即10年期美债相对于较短期限债券所提供的额外收益 —— 扩大是推动因素之一。 美国财政部周二标售580亿美元3年期美债，并计划在未来两天内发行10年期和30年期美债。上述拍卖的获配数据预计将于2月24日公布。 Goldberg表示，缺乏可替代资产，可能正迫使投资者暂时放下顾虑。美元走弱表明，外国投资者可能在继续增持美元计价资产的同时对冲汇率风险。 “从分散配置的便利性来看，投资者实际上并没有太多其他选择，”他指出。 责任编辑：李桐

Astera Labs Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results The Globe and Mail

Fotoatelie/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The Coca-Cola Company ( KO ) is one of my favorite businesses and one of the first investments I made since I started my journey with the stock market. To be honest, KO outperformed my previous expectations. I published a Hold rating for this Company in May 2025 and October 2025—I did not see KO as an attractive buy at these points. Contrary to my expectations, KO has managed to deliver double-digit returns since both May 2025 and October 2025 . KO has delivered nearly 10% and over 15% total return since these publications, respectively. Today, KO has announced its financial results for Q4 2025 and full year 2025 —that's why I decided to prepare this follow-up coverage. I will share my thoughts on KO's latest results, but before that, let me share my thoughts on the valuation, as I think KO is priced to perfection. KO trades at a significant premium to its peers Yes, if you ask me what business I like the most when choosing from KO, PepsiCo ( PEP ), and Keurig Dr Pepper ( KDP ), I will choose KO without hesitation. But it doesn't mean I would pay the price Mr. Market requires to buy more shares. Here's why. I will look at it from the perspective of a valuation multiple—forward-looking EV/EBITDA. That's a leading metric used in M&A processes—as an M&A advisor, I use this as a useful tool quite a lot. I like to check forward-looking numbers, as they allow me to capture growth expectations, while using a ratio of value to a given financial metric allows me to look at the valuation from the perspective of earnings potential. I'm pasting the comparison chart below showing forward-looking EV/EBITDA for the businesses named above. Data by YCharts I see that KO trades at a significant premium when compared with PEP and KDP. While KO trades at nearly 21x EV/EBITDA, I see that PEP doesn't even trade at 14x and KDP trades below 11x. KO's multiple is around 50% higher than KO, which makes me question whether KO offers a good entry fo...

Good morning, earnings season is heating up, with two of Australia’s largest companies reporting early today. Commonwealth Bank delivered a profit beat, while CSL’s first-half net income slumped from a year earlier, with the resignation of CEO Paul McKenzie compounding worries. Be sure to watch both stocks at market open. Adding to the leadership churn, the ASX is also preparing for a change at the top, with CEO Helen Lofthouse set to depart - Carmeli Argana, Australian stocks reporter . What’s happening now Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s profit topped estimates , buoyed by growth in its flagship mortgage business and a push in lending more to companies. CEO’s from two major companies announced their resignations after the close of trading yesterday, with CSL’s Paul McKenzie stepping down immediately and the ASX’s Helen Lofthouse leaving in May. Australia’s government ramped up pressure on Roblox Corp., summoning executives to explain reports that have alleged children as young as four years old have been sexually groomed on the gaming service. Australia’s rental accommodation affordability has plunged to a record low as surging prices outpace wage growth, fueling inflationary pressures that forced the Reserve Bank to raise its key interest rate last week. What happened overnight Here’s what my colleague, market strategist Mike “Willo” Wilson says happened while we were sleeping… Treasury yields fell across the curve and stocks wavered near all-time highs after US retail sales data for December flat-lined.
