The REIT is off to a great start in 2026. I made three bold predictions for Realty Income (O +1.07%) earlier this month. One of those was that the real estate investment trust (REIT) would continue its international expansion in the new year. It didn't take long for this prediction to come true, as it announced its first investment in Mexico a week later. Here's a recap of that prediction and two more things I still see ahead for the REIT this year. Prediction fulfilled On Jan. 12, Realty Income announced the establishment of a strategic relationship with GIC, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund. The partnership initially entails: The formation of a joint venture to invest over $1.5 billion in build-to-suit logistics real estate. GIC is becoming a cornerstone investor in Realty Income's U.S. Core Plus fund. Construction financing and takeout purchase commitment of a $200 million industrial portfolio in Mexico by Realty Income, representing the REIT's first investment in the country. I had predicted that Realty Income would continue its international expansion this year, with growth in the Americas region outside the U.S. among my likely guesses. I also thought the REIT might expand internationally through a partnership, which is exactly what happened. While Realty Income has already expanded into one new country this year, I don't think it will be the last. It doesn't own any properties in Canada and is only in eight European countries. I wouldn't be surprised to see it expand into additional countries over the next year.

Owning Tesla Inc. is essentially a bet on whatever Elon Musk says he will do next. One thing he might do next, according to Bloomberg News , is merge Tesla with his unlisted rockets shop, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. , known as SpaceX. Or maybe Tesla will buy Musk’s unlisted artificial intelligence business, xAI . Perhaps all three will merge, or not at all. Decisions, decisions. Musk has talked about an ostensible industrial logic of convergence centered on launching (SpaceX) solar-powered (Tesla) datacenters for AI (xAI) into space. Synergies around autonomy, using the Grok chatbot in cars and turning those same cars into edge-computing assets, are also talked about. Tesla investors pushed the stock up more than 3% on Friday in an evident vote of confidence for whichever direction Musk picks. To be clear, if there are services and goods to be sold between these related parties, they could just transact — as they do already. It is difficult to see a compelling strategic reason to house Cybertrucks, Starships and whatever Grok happens to be doing under the same hood. This is all speculative, of course, but more banal reasons than orbiting datacenters could push Musk to consider this: Control, fundraising and subsidies. As Tesla’s core electric vehicle business has stalled , the company has pivoted hard toward autonomy and AI. Last week, we learned that this will require a more than doubling of the company’s investment budget. In parallel, Musk has warned that he needs to raise his stake in the company to 25%, lest bad actors end up controlling this technology. Today, he owns about half that but also has large slugs of restricted stock and options coming his way. Merging Tesla with SpaceX would offer a short-cut. Based on Tesla’s current valuation, and the latest reported SpaceX valuation of $800 billion, an all-stock deal at no premium would leave Musk owning about 22% of the combined entity. This assumes Musk owns 42% of SpaceX, as per the Bloomberg Billion...

(RTTNews) - Indian shares bounced back on Monday after tumbling during the special weekend trading session on Sunday amid disappointment over the government's budget proposal to increase taxes on equity derivatives trading. The benchmark BSE Sensex jumped 943.52 points, or 1.17 percent, to 81,666.46, after having fallen nearly 2 percent the previous day - marking the second sharpest fall on Budget Day since 2014. The broader NSE Nifty index surged 262.95 points, or 1.06 percent, to 25,088.40 as investors assessed the implication of the federal budget, which was structurally positive, offering improved earnings visibility through infrastructure-led growth and policy certainty. Underlying sentiment was also underpinned by falling oil prices in international markets. Crude oil prices were down more than 5 percent in European trade after U.S. President Donald Trump said he was hopeful of agreeing a deal with Iran. The BSE mid-cap and small-cap indexes gained 0.9 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively. The market breadth was weak on the BSE, with 2,217 shares falling while 2,041 shares rose and 170 shares closed unchanged. Among the top gainers, Larsen & Toubro, Mahindra & Mahindra, Reliance Industries, BEL, Adani Ports and Power Grid Corp rallied 3-8 percent.

Hong Kong’s market regulator has ordered 13 investment banks to review their listing application and staffing procedures after finding widespread deficiencies in initial public offering (IPO) submissions, amid a surge in deal activity. The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) found that many recent listing application documents contained “serious deficiencies”, potentially because some sponsors were handling too many deals without sufficient manpower or resources, its chief executive Julia Leung Fung-yee said at a Legislative Council meeting on Monday. “Some sponsors are overly focused on chasing deals and meeting sales targets, without ensuring they have adequate manpower and resources to maintain the quality of their due diligence and paperwork,” she said. Advertisement The regulator had suspended vetting on 16 listing applications after receiving poor-quality documentation and unsatisfactory responses to follow-up questions from sponsors, Leung said. The SFC had then asked 13 major investment banks to review their work procedures and staffing levels and submit detailed improvement plans within three months, she added. Ideally, the SFC would like to see each staff handle no more than six deals at the same time, . Advertisement While Leung did not name the firms, she said they had collectively handled 433 IPO applications in recent years, accounting for about 70 per cent of all new listings in Hong Kong.

The red-hot trade in metals and mining stocks is crumbling just as droves of individual investors began piling in. Gold, silver and copper prices plunged on Friday, triggered in part by a rebound in the US dollar. The tumble, which halted a furious rally that lifted prices to all-time highs, came the day after retail traders funneled roughly $171 million into the iShares Silver Trust ( SLV ), which tracks the metal’s price, figures from Vanda Research show. It was the largest one-day net inflow on record from that group. That fund slumped the most since its 2006 debut on Friday, while the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index saw its steepest drop since 2008. Materials was the weakest sector in the S&P 500 Index . Now the worry is that the increasing involvement of a potentially fickle group — individuals chasing a quick gain — may spur even wilder swings. “Once a trade crosses from being a portfolio ballast into meme-stock territory, volatility rises,” said Dave Mazza , chief executive officer at Roundhill Investments. “Everyone went all in quickly, so when the mood shifts, everyone moves at the same time, causing a negative and forceful feedback loop.” President Donald Trump ’s nomination of Kevin Warsh , seen as a relatively hawkish choice, as the next Federal Reserve chair was a catalyst for Friday’s moves. On Friday, the greenback gained the most since May, gold fell 9% and silver declined more than 20%. Precious metals, which are priced in dollars, had soared in recent weeks as a stretch of dollar weakness, heightened geopolitical tension and increased industrial demand for silver in technology boosted their appeal. Also, with some of the Big Tech stocks stalling this year, speculative capital from the retail crowd eying the metals mania further propelled the momentum. Active Bunch In a sign of growing retail involvement, the SLV fund was the fifth-most active symbol across equities and options on Interactive Brokers for the five days to Jan. 27, around twice its statur...

Is casual dining the new growth engine for the restaurant industry? It was a difficult year for restaurant stocks in 2025. During the past 12 months, the segment is down about 0.7%, trailing the S&P 500's 16% gain by a wide margin. Although the restaurant index was little changed, there have been some wild moves in individual stocks: Sweetgreen (SG +0.16%) collapsed by 80%, Cava Group (NYSE: CAVA) dropped 50%, and even Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG 0.59%) fell 30%. Expand NYSE : SG Sweetgreen Today's Change ( 0.16 %) $ 0.01 Current Price $ 6.14 Key Data Points Market Cap $727M Day's Range $ 6.04 - $ 6.29 52wk Range $ 5.14 - $ 33.80 Volume 126 Avg Vol 5.5M Gross Margin 6.51 % Analysts anticipated industry sales growth of 4% to $1.5 trillion in 2025, even as guest traffic declined for many operators. After years of inflation-driven price increases, customers became more selective and changed their spending patterns. As prices rose, the perceived gap among quick-service (QSR), fast-casual, and sit-down dining narrowed. In this environment, some fast-casual chains are struggling to defend their premium pricing, while some casual dining and QSR concepts are better positioned to take market share. Taking a tour of the restaurant landscape For investors, the best way to start to analyze the industry is by looking at the underlying business models. Quick-service restaurants are typically high-volume chains, where convenience, speed, and affordability matter most. McDonald's (MCD 0.16%) remains the industry benchmark, reporting a 2.4% gain in domestic same-store sales (comps) in the third quarter, a reminder of the business model's durability in turbulent times. Others, including Wingstop (WING 2.53%), have emerged by focusing on doing fewer things well while using a digital-first model to maintain margins amid food-price inflation. Fast-casual, which is positioned between QSR and casual dining, was hit the hardest in 2025. The category centers on convenience and higher food q...

Key Points SoundHound AI's products are being widely used in two industries. SoundHound AI expects to deliver strong growth in 2026. 10 stocks we like better than SoundHound AI › SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) is an interesting artificial intelligence (AI) stock. It's one of the few pure-play AI application companies on the market, and it's a relatively small company at a $3.6 billion market cap. This means that if a large customer base adopts its product, the stock could produce huge returns. I think SoundHound AI is set up to deliver great returns in 2026, but they could be hampered by one thing. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » SoundHound AI's audio recognition software is dominating two industries SoundHound AI makes software that links generative AI and audio recognition technology. This is a critical piece of software because getting humans to interact with AI models instead of with other humans is no easy task. However, SoundHound AI is already seeing success in deploying its software to applications like restaurant drive-thrus and digital assistants in vehicles. The real test will be how SoundHound's software performs in a customer-service application. There are countless call centers filled with human agents that could deploy SoundHound's software and make a huge difference both for the client and SoundHound AI's revenue. However, it's still unknown how the consumer will react. When greeted by a robot customer service agent, many people rush through the options to speak with a human. If SoundHound AI can accurately replace a person on the other side of the phone with an agent that's just as effective and can process complex questions, then SoundHound AI could be a huge winner. The problem is that the acceptance of its software is widely out of SoundHound AI's hands and in the consumer's hands. I get a bit nervous when a company doesn't control its own destiny...
