e-crow/iStock via Getty Images It's been a bit since I posted updates from our weekly sector and stocks ranking. In fact, the last time we spoke was when I predicted the stock market low on April 8 in 2025, citing our proprietary data. That raised a lot of eyebrows, and more than a few naysayers chimed in to explain why I was wrong. If I've learned anything over the last 30 years investing, including more than twenty selling research to professional mutual and hedge fund managers, it's that the market changes, and those who dig in their heels risk being left behind. We've seen a similar turning point in the early days of 2026, but unlike 2025 when the signal was a clear stock market turning point, it's a major sector rotation. Over the past few months, it's been an oil in, tech out market The energy sector bottomed last Fall, driven by ramping OPEC production , ostensibly designed to put Permian Shale producers on their back feet. I predicted in 2024 that OPEC, which benefits from sub-$10 production costs, would realize the Permian threat, uncork production, to put weak-handed Permian producers out of business. Opening the oil spigot has certainly dented Permian enthusiasm, given West Texas Crude prices tumbled below $60, beneath production costs, according to Dallas Fed surveys. OPEC continues to pump, but washed-out energy stocks still found their footing. Unsurprising, perhaps, given that the best returns for energy stocks tend to happen when oil prices hit lows, not highs (in true cyclical fashion). The sector, which was moribund in our ranking for many months, began climbing late last year, jumping into the top sector slot by the end of December, prior to the capture of Nicolas Maduro reinforced animal spirits, particularly among energy service plays, including SLB ( SLB ) -- Schlumberger to those of us who have been around a while -- and Halliburton ( HAL ). The energy sector is the strongest sector in our weekly ranking. (Limelight Alpha) The energy rally has...

LPETTET The Las Vegas local casino operators may be in better shape than their Strip counterparts, according to CBRE Equity Research. Analyst John DeCree and his team are upbeat on the Las Vegas Locals market for 2026 and 2027. "Although comparisons get more difficult for the Locals market in 2026, there are still several catalysts on the horizon that should fuel moderate growth, including tax cuts under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and recent capital reinvestment from major operators such as BYD and RRR," wrote DeCree. The bullish view on Boyd Gaming ( BYD ) and Red Rock Resorts ( RRR ) is based in part on the 40-year track record of the Las Vegas Locals market outperforming the Strip in economic recessions. The higher concentration of tipped employees and large number of retirees living in Las Vegas were also called positives for the local casino operators. CBRE Equity reiterated a Buy rating on both Boyd Gaming ( BYD ) and Red Rock Resorts ( RRR ). The price target on BYD was bumped up to $105, while the price target was increased to $75. "We expect both BYD and RRR shares to perform well in 1H26, driven primarily by the OBBB Act as well as ROI on growth capex," summarized DeCree.

Micron Technology has commenced construction on a next-generation advanced wafer fabrication facility in Singapore, a $24bn investment aimed at expanding global NAND flash production capacity. The new fab, located within Micron’s established NAND manufacturing campus, is designed to support high-volume production of advanced NAND memory to serve surging demand from artificial intelligence, data centre, and storage applications. NAND is a type of flash memory used in solid-state drives, USB drives, and other storage devices to retain data without power. Once completed, the fab will become Singapore’s first double-storey wafer fabrication plant, and will encompass 700,000 sqft of cleanroom space. Construction is underway with wafer output slated to begin in the second half of 2028. How the move will bolster R&D goals The expansion reinforces Micron’s strategy of co-locating R&D, advanced packaging and wafer production. The wafer fab alone is expected to generate about 1,600 new jobs in engineering, operations and automation roles. The fab is being constructed with advanced automation and AI-assisted process systems to drive yield and throughput. It will house cleanrooms precisely controlled for particulate levels, temperature, and humidity to support photolithography, etching, deposition, and other critical front-end processes. “This investment solidifies Micron’s long-term commitment to Singapore as a critical hub in our global manufacturing network,” said Manish Bhatia, Executive Vice President of Global Operations at Micron. Earlier this month, the company signed a $1.8bn letter of intent to acquire a fabrication site in Taiwan, adding an established 300,000 sqft cleanroom facility to accelerate DRAM wafer production from 2027. Sustainability and industry impact The project is being designed to meet leadership in energy and environmental design standards. The facility is planned to comply with LEED standards and include programs for greenhouse gas reduction, water ...

The company, one of several French startups focused on health care, is considering a fundraising round of more than $100 million. Expensive messaging Next Sunday, OpenAI is expected to present a new Super Bowl commercial amid code-red competition in the artificial-intelligence space. This will mark its second straight year advertising during the National Football League’s biggest game, but I wonder: How many of you remember the 60-second ad for ChatGPT airing at last season’s Super Bowl? I, for one, completely forgot about OpenAI’s “ Intelligence Age ” campaign until digging up the spot on YouTube. With the market fiercer than ever for enterprise sales and consumer subscriptions (and now eyeballs too), tech companies are plowing money into marketing for their AI software.

Ministers have been warned that any dilution of legal rights for disabled children and their families would cross “red lines”, as the government prepares substantial changes to special education needs and disabilities (Send) provision in England. The Disabled Children’s Partnership, which represents more than 130 charities and professional groups, has written to the education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, and MPs to raise concerns that the overhaul will “come at the expense of children’s legal protections”. The government is due to publish a white paper in February setting out radical changes to Send provision. The plans are expected to include extra funding and specialist support, which it is claimed will enable mainstream schools in England to meet the needs of a wider range of children and young people. However, charities fear the new approach could come at the expense of restrictions to the current system of education, health and care plans (EHCPs) negotiated between parents and local authorities and arbitrated by a specialist Send tribunal. Katie Ghose, the chief executive of the disability charity Kids, said: “Parents will be worried about plans until they can see, in black and white, that legally guaranteed support will be there for every child who needs it. “Parents are also worried about not having a big red button to press when their child isn’t supported in the way they need. Parents will be worried about both plans and accountability until they can see those guarantees are locked down in law.” The letter, backed by organisations including Mencap, the National Autistic Society and the Council for Disabled Children, says any changes must not “strip away legally enforceable plans for children who need them”, or abolish the Send tribunal, disrupt current support or placements, or narrow the definition of Send in a way that restricts eligibility. The letter listed other “red lines”, including any abrupt cut in support from the age of 18, and called for great...

Members of the public and charity volunteers are working to contain a suspected outbreak of bird flu among swans in the Thames Valley, amid signs that confirmed cases are continuing to rise. Since October, 324 cases of bird flu in swans have been recorded by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (Apha), which is sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). Of these, 39 were recorded in the first four weeks of 2026 alone. However, there is growing concern that official figures might underestimate the true scale of the outbreak. The animal charity Swan Support said 46 dead swans had been found in the borough of Windsor and Maidenhead since 17 January, along with a further 26 in Newbury. Two swans were discovered dead in Windsor on Thursday, with three more found on Friday in the Berkshire village of Hurley. Wendy Hermon, the operations director at Swan Support, said the birds had been found “spinning around in circles [and] bleeding from the eyes”, as well as appearing lethargic, prompting suspicion that bird flu might be the cause. The charity said some of the recovered bodies had been sent to Defra for testing, but confirmation of bird flu as the cause of death had yet to be received. Since 2021, the H5N1 strain of bird flu has devastated bird populations across the UK. The virus is highly infectious, with scientists saying that a single bird can infect up to 100 others, and that it can be transmitted through faeces, mucus, blood and saliva.

Photograph: Peter Nicholls/Reuters David Barber, the King’s swan marker, who monitors populations of the birds, said: “It has been pretty grim and one of the worst years we’ve had for bird flu. We’ve had 40-plus swans that have died [in the Thames Valley region] but there’s probably double that number. “Unfortunately, [Defra] haven’t come back and confirmed that it’s bir...

On Wednesday, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) did another round of layoffs. The latest 16,000 reductions leaked out via an accidentally sent internal email, bringing the total cut to around 30,000 since October, or 10% of the corporate workforce. Just a decade ago, layoffs of this scale would have triggered apologies and existential questions about leadership. Yet, today they arrive in a calmer, forward-looking language. The management frames it as removing bureaucracy and being cost-conscious. The firm isn't signaling distress but control. The market likes it – the stock is around 7% up year-to-date. And that distinction says a lot about how the meaning of layoffs has quietly changed.

Boom And Bust Cycles This change in perception didn't arrive overnight. It started years ago, best remembered in the pandemic boom. Between 2020 and 2021, tech companies hired as if demand would only go one direction – up and to the right. Amazon expanded aggressively across corporate roles, logistics, and cloud, responding to a world stuck at home and buying everything online. Cheap capital made it easy to justify excess headcount as "future optionality." Eventually, the cycle turned. Demand normalized, and interest rates climbed. Investors stopped rewarding the promise of growth and started questioning inefficiency. What once appeared like foresight suddenly looked like bloat. Amazon's cuts mirror what's happened across tech, where hundreds of thousands of roles have disappeared since 2022, according to layoffs.fyi. Despite the common belief that Europe stands insulated by stronger labor laws, the same logic has arrived there too—just dressed differently.

President Donald Trump is set to launch a strategic critical-minerals stockpile with $12 billion in seed money, a bid to insulate manufacturers from supply shocks as the US works to slash its reliance on Chinese rare earths and other metals. The venture — dubbed Project Vault — is set to marry $1.67 billion in private capital with a $10 billion loan from the US Export-Import Bank to procure and store the minerals for automakers, tech firms and other manufacturers. Most Read from Bloomberg Details of the initiative, which would represent a first-of-its-kind stockpile for the US private sector, were described by senior administration officials, who asked not to be identified discussing a plan that has yet to be announced. The effort is akin to the nation’s existing emergency oil stockpile. But instead of crude, its focus would be minerals — such as gallium and cobalt — used in products such as iPhones, batteries and jet engines. The stockpile is expected to include both rare earths and critical minerals as well as other strategically important elements that are subject to volatile prices. It represents a major commitment to accumulate minerals deemed critical to the industrial economy — including the automotive, aerospace and energy sectors — and highlights Trump’s effort to wean US supply chains from China, the world’s dominant provider and processor of critical minerals. The project has participation from more than a dozen companies so far, including General Motors Co., Stellantis NV, Boeing Co., Corning Inc., GE Vernova Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google. Three commodities trading houses — Hartree Partners LP, Traxys North America LLC and Mercuria Energy Group Ltd. — have signed on to handle purchases of the raw materials to fill the stockpile. Ex-Im’s board is set to vote later Monday to authorize the record-setting 15-year loan, which is more than double the next-largest deal ever executed by the bank. Trump is set to meet Monday with GM’s chief executive officer Ma...

Tyson Foods Inc. reported first-quarter earnings that slightly beat analyst estimates as higher beef pricing and continued chicken demand offset pressure from limited cattle supplies. The country’s largest meatpacker saw adjusted earnings per share of 97 cents in the first quarter, down 15% from the prior year but beating analyst estimates of 95 cents. While higher beef prices supported overall sales, Tyson’s largest segment continues to struggle with the US’s ongoing cattle shortage. Tyson’s beef business reported a $143 million adjusted operating loss in the quarter, worse than analysts expected, though a 17% increase in pricing supported year-over-year sales growth. The company, in a move meant to turn around the segment, said it would close a Nebraska beef plant and reduced a Texas facility to a single shift. The company maintained its outlook for the year, but narrowed its expected operating loss in its beef segment to $250 million to $500 million, from a prior forecast of $400 million to $600 million. Read More: More US Beef Plants May Close as Cattle Herds Keep Shrinking A domestic cattle shortage has left meat processors paying higher prices for the animals needed to keep plants operating at minimum levels, crunching margins even as the Trump administration calls the industry out for inflating meat prices . Tyson’s plant closure is expected to cool cattle prices by reducing competition for supplies, though prices are still forecast to rise year-over-year, according to the US Department of Agriculture. The US cattle herd remained at a 75-year low as of Jan. 1, nearly unchanged from the prior year, the USDA said Friday. The ongoing halt to Mexican live cattle shipments to prevent the spread of a deadly parasite is also limiting supplies. Still, meat companies have benefited from a broader protein craze among consumers, which is only seen accelerating after the US’s new dietary guidelines flipped the food pyramid to prioritize protein. Record retail beef prices...
