Dividends have rarely been as cool as they are right now. It's one of the few investing strategies generating positive returns this year, as a flight to quality finds even growth investors warming up to the timeless appeal of steady distributions. I want to zoom in on two stocks in particular. Costco (NASDAQ: COST) and Cintas (NASDAQ: CTAS) are strong businesses that you probably already know. They also happen to have long histories of strong dividend hikes. Their payouts are manageable. These are quality dividend stocks, making them no-brainer investments in 2026.

Shares of Meta Platforms tumbled in Thursday morning trading, after a pair of back-to-back verdicts found the company to blame for the harmful impact of its products on young people. In one landmark case, a New Mexico jury found the Facebook and Instagram parent liable for failing to protect young people from online dangers including solicitation, sexually explicit content and human trafficking. Just one day later, California jurors found Meta and Google’s YouTube negligent for operating a product that harmed children and teens and failed to warn about those dangers.

HJBC/iStock Editorial via Getty Images TotalEnergies ( TTE ) said Thursday it must adjust its climate ambitions since the world will not be able to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 as outlined in the Paris Agreement, after saying previously that it sought to become carbon neutral by 2050. "We must, however, confront our ambition with reality and acknowledge that our societies have embarked on a transition, but at a pace that does not yet allow for the collective achievement of carbon neutrality as pursued under the Paris Agreement," TotalEnergies ( TTE ) said in its 2026 sustainability report . "The company is not in a position to adopt a transition plan as defined by the European reporting standards and, as a result, cannot formulate 'Net Zero' targets in the meaning of these standards," the company said. Separately, TotalEnergies ( TTE ) CEO Patrick Pouyanne said 1,300 personnel have been evacuated from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq, with only some local staff and contractors remaining in the region as the Iran war continues.

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! It’s Geopolitics World Cup playoff day, dear reader, and Gibraltar are playing Latvia in a winner-takes-all clash. Sadly, for football romantics, that game is the first leg of a Nations League promotion/relegation playoff. Uefa’s scheduling feels a bit cruel, like making some poor flunky do the graveyard shift while Bacchanalia Revisited takes place on the floor above. And what a party it’s going to be. Sure, the process of qualifying has become so convoluted that even Bobby Seagull doesn’t fully understand it, but now we’ve reached the stage where everything is terrifyingly simple. There are no second chances any more, and the only guarantee is of thrills, spills and bellyaches. Sixteen European teams are involved in Thursday’s semi-finals; by Tuesday night, four will be on their way to the GWC and 12 will be wondering whether they can still legitimately cherish the memories they made en route to the playoffs. I’m so saddened by the news of John Toshack’s dementia diagnosis, the fate of too many from his era. He was my first footballing idol, a big handsome hero of the team I knew and loved as long as I’d lived. I would save a sweet for home-game Saturdays and ask my dad to pass it to him at half-time (of course a Kop season ticket didn’t preclude that!), and Dad always said Tosh had thanked me. It’s good to know he has detailed memories of his many days of glory, and I hope life is kind to him in those remaining” – Kathryn Nolan. Riccardo Calafiori complains that Italy gaffer Gennaro Gattuso calls him more often than his mum does (Wednesday’s News, Bits and Bobs, full email edition). What’s the problem? I’d be ecstatic if Gattuso called me more than my mother. It’d be terrific to talk about football with a World Cup, Big Cup and Serie A winner. My mother tends to focus more on weekend plans, the noise level in restaurants, and how often my kids do or don’t call her. No offence Mum, but I’d rather talk tactics tha...

Getty Images I could, of course, have provided this article about 3 weeks ago, before the crash. However, because my recent article on Henkel ( HENKY ) was as little as 2 months ago, I thought it was over-ambitious to cover the company because of a mere surge in valuation. I was of the opinion, and still am, that my coverage at the time took into consideration the potential of not only the surge in valuation , but also the subsequent crash which we have been seeing since. So, since my last piece on the company, Henkel has actually performed poorly - but it would be accurate to at the same time claim that the market has not fared that much better either. Seeking Alpha Henkel RoR So, what we have here is a significant up and down in a very short time. My first question to you, dear reader, would be if you believe there is any factual or objective ground for this movement, or if it's based more on subjective speculation and expectations - external factors, as they were? I believe the answer to this question (the latter part) should be affirmative. Nothing has happened in the last 2 months to first make Henkel suddenly worth 20% more in a short time, only to be followed by a significant decline shortly after. While the company's earnings, which were reported not that long ago, were certainly a part of the decline (4% or so) due to an earnings miss (4Q) and low 2026E guidance, as well as a 2025 organic sales miss of 0.7%, I don't think this should be the result. It's my conviction that Henkel at 12-13x P/E is neither expensive nor in any way unattractively valued. While the surge to almost 15.5x P/E before the market crash was a slight bit of premiumization, it was not outside the realm of historical results here. In this article, I will do two things. Establish an update for Henkel with changes (if any) for the valuation due to 2026E, and also talk about the Olaplex M&A that was reported about 2-3 hours ago at the time that I am writing this piece. Henkel - M&A's, resul...
