Thomas Barwick/DigitalVision via Getty Images Overview Market indices continue to retreat from their prior highs with the continued selloff of SaaS companies and rising tensions with Iran.

Thomas Barwick/DigitalVision via Getty Images Overview Market indices continue to retreat from their prior highs with the continued selloff of SaaS companies and rising tensions with Iran. While the S&P 500 ( SPX ) and Nasdaq-100 ( NDX ) Indices have experienced a rough start for 2026, defensive ETFs like the Pacer US Cash Cows 100 ETF ( COWZ ) can offer a safe haven for investors looking to navigate the headwinds. When I previously covered COWZ, I issued a buy rating due to the defensive positioning of the fund. Since then, COWZ has outperformed the S&P 500 and has done a great job at protecting capital. It's been a year since my last coverage so I wanted to reassess the ETF's overall value proposition and outlook through 2026. Looking at the performance over the last twelve months, we can see that COWZ's share price has increased by about 11.6%. When including all dividends that were paid out to shareholders, the total return rises to 15.1% over the same time frame. COWZ now offers investors a starting dividend yield of 2% at this time but the value isn't in the yield. The value may actually be in the dividend growth potential over a longer holding period. Data by YCharts Periods of market uncertainty and rapid declines always serve as a reminder for why capital preservation is important. This is why I wanted to also revisit COWZ to discuss why the ETF is a great option for investors approaching the retirement age. The transition from active to passive income can be challenging and sometimes investors chase higher yields to instantly get more cash flow. However, COWZ proves that patience can be rewarded with higher income over time. So let's start by taking a look at the fund's underlying fund strategy. Fund Strategy According to the latest fund overview , COWZ now has total net assets of $18.1B that are spread across 102 different positions. The fund's process starts by screening the Russell 1000 Index in search for the top 100 companies based on their free cash ...

This pricey infrared therapy mat claims to help mood, sleep and muscle recovery. It felt more like a glorified heating pad Plastic-free cutting boards and $17 bike lights: 11 things you loved in March Sign up for the Filter US newsletter, your weekly guide to buying fewer, better things I have a $1,400 mat stashed under my pink velvet couch. It’s my roommate’s PEMF and infrared therapy mat, and yes, it costs nearly as much as my monthly rent.

Escalation represents dangerous spread of war and brings threat of even more damage to the global economy The US-Israeli war with Iran has expanded with the entry of Houthi forces in Yemen, representing a dangerous spread of the conflict and bringing with it the threat of more damage to the global economy. Pakistan has said it would host a meeting of Middle Eastern powers on Monday in an effort to find a regional approach to ending the conflict. But the talks, bringing together foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt did not appear to include any of the warring parties, casting further doubt on persistent US claims of diplomatic progress.

The war in Iran is pushing up oil and gas prices, but the impact is spreading far beyond energy markets. Chrystia Freeland highlights how farmers are facing a “double whammy” as both fuel and fertilizer costs surge at a critical moment in the planting season. Fertilizer expert Josh Linville says global nitrogen supplies have tightened dramatically due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, while CoBank CEO Tom Halverson warns that farmers are already under pressure from weak crop prices and rising input costs. With fertilizer shortages threatening yields, the conflict could soon translate into higher food prices and renewed inflation around the world. (Source: Bloomberg)

Getty Images Investment Thesis Viant Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: DSP ) has remained under pressure and is down significantly from its 52-week high of $16.25, due to concerns related to macroeconomic uncertainty, tariff-related pressure on advertising budgets, and a broader downside pressure across ad-tech stocks. However, based on my in-depth analysis of the company's latest financials, it seems the company has potential for upside. The analysis highlighted its double-digit revenue growth supported by improving industry growth, expanding margins, strong free cash flow, and a healthy balance sheet with no debt. I believe the fundamentals of the business are intact and investors could see upside over the next few quarters with improving macroeconomic headwinds.
