The Magnificent Seven stocks have been hurt by several developments in 2026. For Meta Platforms, the company is cutting jobs and spending aggressively on AI growth. The company has also been hit with several recent court rulings that could lead to more legal challenges. Meta shareholders are paying the price for the uncertainties with shares down 18%. Among the biggest losers is Meta co-founder Mark Zuckerberg. Mark Zuckerberg Wealth Takes a Hit Zuckerberg started the year as the sixth-richest p

Listen on the go! A daily podcast of Wall Street Breakfast will be available by 8:00 a.m. on Seeking Alpha , iTunes , Spotify . Getty Images Good morning! Here's the latest in trending: Pump prices: The average gallon of gasoline has climbed above $4 for the first time in more than three years. Recession fears: An indicator tied to Walmart's ( WMT ) stock, tracked by veteran strategist Jim Paulsen, signals a sharp economic downturn . Insider allegations: Did Pete Hegseth's broker look to buy defense funds before the Iran attack? The Pentagon has dismissed the report . No more waiting The Nasdaq ( NDAQ ) is evolving its index rules, like the ones that impact the flagship Nasdaq 100 ( NDX ). It's a big deal, given that more than $600B of exchange-traded funds are linked to the popular index, which is one of the key market gauges for investors. That's especially true for the biggest technology companies, which are fueling the artificial intelligence boom and beyond. What's happening? The biggest change coming to the Nasdaq 100 will slash the time it takes for newly listed, large-cap companies to enter its main index. In the past, it took at least three months following an IPO for firms to be classified as eligible, to ensure that the market established a reliable share price and the stock no longer faced serious price swings. However, companies today generally wait much longer to list, ensuring they lock in a reliable amount of value before going public. As a result, the Nasdaq will shorten entry time to its benchmark index to a mere 15 trading days to give "a more accurate and timely representation of the investable market." "Industry professionals, including asset managers and institutional passive portfolio managers, were mostly supportive of the Fast Entry proposal and proposed timing,” Nasdaq said in response to possible concerns over volatility. The clearest upcoming beneficiaries are the expected blockbuster IPOs of SpaceX ( SPACE ) and OpenAI ( OPENAI ). Both w...

新华社华盛顿3月31日电 美国总统特朗普3月31日在社交媒体上发文说，所有因霍尔木兹海峡被关闭而无法获得航空燃油的国家，比如拒绝参与打击伊朗的英国，“我给你们建议：第一，从美国买，我们有的是；第二，鼓起勇气去海峡那里抢过来”。 特朗普还称：“你们得开始学会为自己而战，美国不会再帮你们了。伊朗基本上已经被打垮了。最难的部分已经完成。自己去弄你们的石油吧。”（完）

Hong Kong has retained its top position in terms of initial public offering (IPO) funds raised in the first quarter of this year but industry experts said the city could lose its lead to the US over the full year given the number of mega IPOs expected there, from OpenAI to Elon Musk’s SpaceX. A total of 37 companies raised about US$13.26 billion on the Hong Kong stock exchange’s main board in the three months ended March 31, according to data released on Tuesday by LSEG Data and Analytics.

As a child, Saraswati Nepali was not allowed to drink from the same water jar as her classmates. When she was thirsty, she had to walk the 20 minutes home and back: the cost of being born a Dalit in a society that deemed her “untouchable”. Now, Nepal’s new government says it is finally ready to acknowledge that injustice. Prime Minister Balendra Shah’s administration announced on Sunday that the state would, for the first time, offer a formal apology to the Dalit community. It also pledged to...

2 Reasons Why Wells Fargo Thinks You Should Buy Google Stock Now

tobiasjo/iStock via Getty Images Introduction We often discuss inflation, as it’s somewhat of a silent killer of wealth. While a $100 bill will still be a $100 bill a few years from now, it tends to buy less over time. Since the early 2000s, the purchasing power of the dollar has lost roughly half of its value. Personally, I believe that number is higher, but using official numbers (see below), it’s roughly 50%. Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Now, don’t get me wrong. This doesn’t mean life gets worse over time. $1,000 in the early 1910s got you goods worth less than $80 in the 1990s. However, I think we can all agree that life in 1990s America was better than in the 1910s. As negative as inflation may be, consistent wage hikes and innovation tend to improve life over time. However, there are certain periods when inflation is an issue. Currently, for example, I think it’s fair to say that younger people are in a tricky spot due to factors like high home prices, elevated mortgage rates, and AI disruption in many white-collar jobs. Furthermore, tough times can result in serious wealth challenges. That’s what this article is about, as I think it’s one of the most serious articles I have written this year so far. So, without further ado, let’s keep this intro short and get right to it! We Are So Spoiled. Will It Last? I started investing in 2011. While that is nothing compared to the track record that some of you may have, there are many on Wall Street who joined after me. And in general, younger generations have seen some of the best years on Wall Street. Since 2011, for example, we have been through two bear markets, one in 2020 and one in 2022. JPMorgan I’m convinced that if I had started making good money 1-2 years earlier, I would have achieved all of my financial targets before turning 30. But it is what it is. While I cannot complain in my situation, we need to play the cards we’re dealt. That brings me to the most important chart of this article. Below, you se...

aydinmutlu/E+ via Getty Images This article was written by Kody Kester (Kody's Dividends). For income-oriented investors, the title of Dividend Aristocrat is an undeniable seal of quality. It’s one thing for companies to talk about how much they value their shareholders. It’s another thing entirely for them to show it in every imaginable environment. The last 20-plus years have included recessions, geopolitical conflicts, and a global pandemic. This requires a company to not only have the desire to hand out payout raises to shareholders but also the means to do so. I’m talking about a reliable business model, an investment-grade balance sheet, and a payout ratio that leaves a cushion. This brings me to my focus for today, which is the regulated electric utility, Evergy, Inc. ( EVRG ). When I last covered Evergy for Treading Softly with a “Buy” rating in January , I was encouraged by the economic development pipeline. The BBB+ S&P credit rating was another plus. I also liked that the company was a Dividend Aristocrat-in-waiting. Topping off the "Buy" case, the stock was priced at a double-digit percentage discount to my fair value estimate. Two and a half months later, I’m reaffirming my "Buy" rating. In February, Evergy announced and executed agreements for four major data center projects. That same month, the electric utility released its updated five-year capital spending plan for 2026 through 2030. This was up significantly versus the five-year plan for 2025 through 2029. Evergy’s plan to finance its vision is attainable. Clinching my "Buy" rating, shares are still trading below my fair value estimate. Evergy Just Gave 21.6 Billion Reasons For Optimism Evergy Q4 2025 Earnings Press Release On February 19, Evergy shared its earnings report for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025. The company’s operating revenue rose by 6.6% over the year-ago period to $1.34 billion in the quarter. Put into perspective, this was $87 million shy of Seeking Alpha’s analyst con...

Tom Werner/DigitalVision via Getty Images By Carsten Brzeski, Global Head of Macro The German labour market is still holding up. Unemployment actually dropped by 48,700 in March, the best March performance of the labour market since 2022. At the same time, however, the fact that the absolute number of those unemployed remains above the politically important 3 million for the third month in a row is anything but good news. In fact, the last time the total number of unemployed was above 3 million for three consecutive months was in 2014. Another wasted year for private consumption Over the last two months, the gradual worsening of the labour market has taken a breather. However, this does not take away the fact that over the last four years, German unemployment has increased by some 500,000, following textbook economic mechanisms: with the economy effectively stagnating for more than five years and industry facing severe structural challenges, a deterioration in the labour market was inevitable. Since 2019, for example, some 270,000 industry jobs have been cut, and more seem to be in the making. While a growing part-time work sector had helped total employment grow continuously until summer last year, this labour market cushion is also weakening. Since last summer, employment has gradually declined, providing additional evidence of a structurally changing labour market: a shrinking workforce due to demographics, sectoral and geographical shifts driven by the industrial transition, and higher entry barriers for graduates due to AI. Looking ahead, the number of vacancies has come down, and employment plans in both manufacturing and services have also taken a hit on the back of the war in the Middle East. With weaker-than-expected economic activity, the rising threat of AI and ongoing structural transition, we continue seeing a gradual worsening of the labour market continuing throughout the year. Previous and potential additional announcements of cost-cutting measures a...

BalkansCat Diageo ( DEO ) pushed higher in premarket trading on Tuesday after Deutsche Bank boosted the spirits stock to a Buy rating after having it set at Hold. Analyst Mitch Collett said the upgrade was all about the rebase. "Our estimates reflect a reset to profitability in FY27 and below-guidance delivery in FY26, which leaves our EPS estimates 11% below consensus in FY27 and 10% below in FY28. However, we believe this quantum of downgrade is already reflected in the share price," wrote Collett. Deutsche Bank is taking the long view on upside for Diageo ( DEO ). Industry headwinds and market share loss mean the firm expects Diageo ( DEO ) to reduce profitability to drive competitiveness. "We believe the company can invest in price, marketing, route to market, and innovation, leaving Diageo better able to deliver the sort of predictable profitable growth that investors value highly," noted Collett. Shares of Diageo ( DEO ) were up 1.9% in premarket action to $74.87 vs. the 52-week range of $72.45 to $116.69. The dividend yield for new buyers of the stock is 4.5%.

The outbreak of the Iran war sparked heavy selling pressure across every European equity market through March, as investors gauge the potential impact of the continent's second energy price shock in four years. There has been little room to hide for European equity investors. Britain's FTSE 100 , which is more heavily tilted to oil and gas stocks, has held up slightly better than its peers on the continent, falling 5% over the month compared to a 7% drop for both Germany's DAX and France's Cac 40 . Another equity market that has taken a significant bruising is the Swiss Market Index , which comprises the country's 20 largest listed companies. The SMI fell 7.5% in March, bottoming out around 13% lower on March 20 before paring some losses as the conflict continued to develop. And analysts at UBS believe the Swiss equity market is best-placed to benefit from a potential rebound in sentiment, they wrote in a note on Tuesday. UBS is the largest bank in Switzerland and is listed on the Swiss exchange. Its analysts see the recent correction as offering a good opportunity to enter Swiss equities, due to their more defensive sectoral exposure, which includes a mix of healthcare stocks and consumer staples. "Swiss equities are heavily weighted toward high-quality companies with strong balance sheets, resilient cash flows, and defensive sector exposure, characteristics that have historically helped the market navigate periods of geopolitical uncertainty and weaker economic growth," the analysts wrote. UBS said Swiss equity valuations, which now trade on around 16x forward earnings with dividend yields of around 3.2%, now look more appealing. Swiss stocks compare favorably with Swiss franc bond yields, which offer zero interest at present. For these reasons, UBS has upgraded Swiss equities to "attractive." The buy rating expands on an earlier note published March 24, which advocated for a move away from European equity markets. The analysts view the main European bourses as pr...
