PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images Last week was a brutal week in the markets as the Nasdaq fell -4.18% (-1,121.53) on Friday to close the week down -4.8%. The S&P 500 didn’t fare much better as the -2.65% (-200.63) decline on Friday took the index down -2.6% for the week. Some people are blaming the hot jobs report after nonfarm payrolls came in at 172,000 against expectations of 88,000. There is an old methodology that strong jobs mean a hot economy, a hot economy means inflation, and inflation means the Fed can’t cut. The fear comes straight out of the Phillips curve, which is the old framework that says when growth and employment go up, inflation follows. The problem with that line of thinking is that jobs don’t show up in the CPI report; labor costs do. The 1970s wage-price spiral that many people refer to had labor costs in the double digits, oil kept rising, unions struck, and workers quit for higher pay. These mechanics are non-existent today considering oil is up due to a war premium, not OPEC restricting barrels, and workers are worried about AI, and they’re tempering wage demands as a result. I believe that the economy is running well and that the problem this week was people taking profits to raise capital for the SpaceX IPO, which probably caused algos to trade stocks lower. This may have caused a lot of stop losses to be triggered and margin calls to be implemented. I think weeks like this are great opportunities for long-term investors because these are the types of dips that get bought. After allocating $27,400 to the Dividend Harvesting Portfolio, the account balance finished week 275 at $38,837.35. The account's profitability declined (-1.18%) to $11,337.35, which is a return on invested capital of 41.23%. Over the past week, I added to VICI Properties and the PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund ( PDI ). The combination of reinvesting the generated dividend income and making these investments increased the forward projected annualized dividend income b...

News of the day for June 8, 2026

Andrzej Rostek/iStock via Getty Images Introduction The last time I covered Realty Income ( O ), I initiated coverage with a Buy rating, highlighting their sustainable and attractive monthly dividend yield and potential coming from their European expansion, while the fundamentals and valuation looked attractive despite the macro pressure. Following a strong first quarter that beat the market’s expectations, O remains a Buy, as the valuation and monthly dividend are now even more attractive following the recent decline in price, with plenty of room to continue compounding over the long-term as they expand into Europe. Strong Quarter Despite Pressure Realty Income IR Realty Income reported a solid Q1 report overall, beating the market’s FFO and revenue estimates , with the AFFO growing by about 11.36% to $1.06 billion, for a very solid increase of ~6.60% on a per share basis, highlighting their strength even during a tough macro setting, with occupancy at a very solid 98.9% for another quarter. Realty Income IR On the back of this strong report, Realty Income also boosted its guidance for 2026, expecting the AFFO per share to be in the range of $4.41 to $4.44 now compared to the previous $4.38 to $4.42, for a decent increase at the midpoint of ~3.39% compared to the $4.28 per share seen in 2025 (and $4.19 in 2024), which is not bad for a REIT in this environment, expecting the occupancy to remain at a solid ~98.5% throughout the year. Not only that, but O also announced a major boost in their investment volume, expecting $9.5 billion now compared to $8 billion previously, with the CEO highlighting their strong potential in Europe during the Q1 Earnings Call , as mentioned before: Look, we are -- obviously, we feel very confident of what our pipeline looks like. It is largely a function of the pipeline and our ability to forecast out what that's going to translate into for the entire year. That's what's helped us raise our number from $8 billion to $9.5 billion. And wh...

RonFullHD/iStock via Getty Images An Experienced REIT with a Recent Rebranding My REIT pick of the week to initiate coverage on is AH Realty Trust ( AHRT ), which was formerly known as Armada-Hoffler before its huge rebranding this year, and back in early May it beat Q1 earnings estimates, the third quarter in a row to do so. With its rebrand came a new strategy : to focus on diversified retail and office properties while shifting away from multi-family and construction. This company, with around $675MM in market cap, says its portfolio focuses on "a diversified portfolio of high-quality properties, including walkable mixed-use communities and grocery-anchored retail centers, located in amenity-rich neighborhoods and high-growth markets." Trading at just under $7 as of this writing, this stock will be reviewed across 7 rating categories of both fundamental and technical analysis. A Bullish First Thesis For my initial thesis on this stock, I am calling it a buy. From the rating worksheet I made below to summarize my findings, key strengths of this REIT come from the growth side and portfolio quality, but also the upside forecasts and recent return to market momentum again. AHRT - rating worksheet (author) Amidst Portfolio Optimization, Lease Growth Still Achieved For my first topic, I focused on top-line growth, and I gave the stock a buy rating, driven by the return-to-office trend, southeast US population growth, new lease growth in Q1, and a proven 5-year revenue growth trend, but also acknowledging some recent consumer confidence headwinds. Before talking about what macro factors could impact growth, I wanted to highlight one of their mixed-use office/retail properties in Atlanta, from the investor deck (pg. 24) , so readers get a flavor of what this REIT invests in, since I think no two REITs are alike: AHRT - sample property (investor deck) So, I think a macro factor we could focus on is demand for premium office and retail property, particularly in the southea...

(RTTNews) - Monday, Standard BioTools Inc. (LAB) announced an agreement with Treeline Biosciences, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharma company, to combine in an all-stock transaction.

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images I've been following MetLife, Inc. ( MET ) and its prеferrеd stоcks closely for the past few months. After the compаny reported its first-quаrter 2026 rеsults and the stock trаdеd around $84, I dеcided to take a closer look at its financial instruments. I recоmmend the compаny's prefеrred shares over the cоmmon ones—prefеrreds have a current yield of close to 6.5%, trаde below par, and have an investmеnt-grade crеdit rating, bаcked by one of the most stable insurance companiеs in the wоrld. Common stоck is reasonably valued, but its price appreciatiоn depends on market sentiment. Preferred incоme, on the other hаnd, is mпre secure. Let's tаke a closer lоok at the fоllowing lines. MetLife is one of the largеst insurаnce cоmpanies in the world. Its current market capitalization is clоse to $54.3 billion. At the end of 2025, MetLife complеted the acquisition of PineBridge Investments, bringing MetLife Investmеnt Management's assets undеr manаgement to $742 billion. At the end of the first quarter of 2026, the company's totаl assets were about $743.2 billiоn, and the total dеbt was close to $49.5 billion. Metlife Q1 (metlife2022rd.q4web.com) The adjustеd earnings pеr share are $2.42, 23% more from $1.96 in 1Q 2025, and the adjusted return on equity is 17.0%. The dirеct expеnse ratio is 11.9%. The adjustеd prоfit for the quartеr wаs $1.586 billiоn, and the net income was $1.140 billion — lowеr duе to invеstment lossеs, but this is completеly nоrmal for an insurancе business and is not indicаtive of actual perfоrmance. The portfolio of privаte debt instrumеnts is abоut $85 billion, with 95% of it being investment grade. MET's portfolio (metlife2022rd.q4web.com) Bоth the cоmpany and its finаncial instrumеnts are ratеd with investment-grade credit ratings by the mаjor credit companies, as yоu can see for yourself in the picturе belоw.

Anton Vierietin/iStock via Getty Images A top-tier Spanish soccer club reportedly used prediction marketplace Kalshi ( KALSHI ) to hedge one of the sport’s biggest financial risks: relegation. The unnamed La Liga team placed a multimillion-dollar bet against itself before the final game of the season, Semafor recently reported, citing people familiar. The club was at risk of dropping to a lower division, a move that would have cost millions in ticket and broadcast revenue. It ultimately survived, losing 1-0 by a narrow enough margin to stay in La Liga. The other side of the trade was Susquehanna, which took home more than $1M, according to the report.

VelhoJunior Shares of The Campbell’s Company ( CPB ) are modestly higher as the company’s fiscal third quarter profit was better than feared despite sluggish sales for snacks. The company also maintained its profit guidance for the year with a midpoint that is slightly better than analysts estimates. "Our third quarter results were generally in line with our expectations but remained under pressure, reflecting top-line softness and inflation-driven margin headwinds,” said Mick Beekhuizen, Campbell’s President and Chief Executive Officer. At-home cooking trends continued to prop up the Meals and Beverages segment, although sales were down 4% as the unfavorable volume/mix of 5% was only partially offset by increased prices. In Snacks, declines from third-party partner brands, contract manufacturing sales, and softness in its salty, crackers, and bakery portfolio all contributed to a 4% decline in sales in the segment. As a result, overall sales were down 4% to $2.37B, below $2.38B estimates, while inflation and supply chain costs continued to compress Campbell’s ( CPB ) margins, resulting in a gross margin of 27.5%, down 190 basis points year-over-year. A $150M impairment charge drove adjusted EBIT down 24% to $274M and pressured the company’s profitability as adjusted earnings fell 32% to $0.50 per share but beat expectations by 2 cents. In the third quarter, Campbell's ( CPB ) delivered approximately $20M in savings, bringing total cost savings achieved to $200M towards its fiscal 2028 target of $375M. The company intends to use these savings as one of several levers to help offset tariff and broader inflationary headwinds. Looking ahead to FY26, Campbell’s ( CPB ) maintained its previously lowered outlook for the year and continues to expect organic net sales to decline by 1% to 2% and adjusted EPS to be within a range of $2.15 to $2.25 per share. This reflects a decline of 23% to 26% from the same quarter last year but with a midpoint of $2.20 that is 3 cents bett...

生物科技公司Nurix Therapeutics股价在盘前交易中大幅上涨约24%，此前该公司宣布与制药巨头罗氏达成一项全球合作协议，共同开发和商业化用于治疗癌症及自身免疫性疾病的蛋白降解剂bexobrutideg。 根据协议条款，Nurix将获得7亿美元的预付现金，并有资格获得最高达23亿美元的开发、监管及销售里程碑付款。在美国市场，双方将平分利润与亏损，并共同进行商业化推广；在美国以外地区，罗氏将负责商业化，Nurix则可获得低至百分之十几的销售分成。双方将按照Nurix承担40%、罗氏承担60%的比例分担开发成本。 Bexobrutideg是一款口服、可穿透血脑屏障的高选择性BTK蛋白降解剂。与传统BTK抑制剂仅阻断激酶活性不同，这款药物通过利用人体自身的蛋白质降解系统，能够彻底清除细胞内的BTK蛋白，从而消除其激酶活性和支架信号功能。这一机制使其对已产生耐药突变的患者仍保持活性，在早期临床研究中，该药在慢性淋巴细胞白血病患者中展现出较高的总缓解率，包括那些对现有BTK抑制剂产生耐药的患者。 罗氏首席医学官兼全球产品开发负责人表示：“我们相信bexobrutideg代表着在对抗复杂血癌及其他疾病方面的重大飞跃。”Nurix首席执行官则指出，罗氏是帮助该公司将靶向蛋白降解的潜力转化为全球患者福祉的 理想 合作伙伴。 除血液肿瘤适应症外，双方还计划将该药的临床开发拓展至免疫学和神经学领域，包括开展针对多发性硬化症和慢性自发性荨麻疹的二期临床试验。目前，bexobrutideg针对慢性淋巴细胞白血病的三期临床试验预计将于今年夏季启动。该交易预计将于2026年第三季度完成。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

标普 道琼斯 指数公司宣布，芯片制造商迈威尔科技与电子制造服务商Flex将被纳入标普500指数，相关调整将于6月22日周一美股开盘前正式生效。与此同时， 金宝汤公司 与泳池用品批发商Pool Corp将被移出该指数。 消息公布后，两家公司股价在盘后交易中大幅上涨。迈威尔科技涨幅约6%至7%，Flex涨幅约4%。市场分析认为，纳入标普500指数意味着两家公司股票将获得更广泛的投资者群体覆盖，包括追踪该指数的被动型基金以及投资范围受限的主动管理基金，这对公司股票流动性与估值均有实质意义。 迈威尔科技专注于高速网络连接芯片及定制化AI半导体设计，是人工智能数据中心基础设施建设的重要受益者。该公司市值已攀升至约2300亿美元，远超标普500指数220亿美元的最低市值要求。此前在台北国际电脑展上，英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋曾公开表示迈威尔科技有望成为“下一个万亿美元企业”。 Flex是全球第三大电子制造服务商，仅次于富士康和和硕。该公司深度参与AI服务器市场，为英伟达高性能AI服务器系统及数据中心模块提供关键制造支持，同时负责生产 苹果 公司的主要硬件配件。 此次调整将进一步提升标普500指数中信息技术板块的权重。尽管近期科技股因宏观经济担忧出现震荡，但两家公司凭借在AI基础设施领域的核心地位，仍获得指数委员会的青睐。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

杰妮·卡斯特罗，Coffee Dose品牌创始人。图片来源：STUDIO 1208 2018年，杰妮·卡斯特罗（Jeni Castro）没有任何咖啡行业从业经验，没有创投路演PPT，也不愿遵循众人口中开咖啡馆必须遵守的各类规矩。彼时，她所拥有的，只是某间美发沙龙内一处88平方英尺的小铺面、一个愿意相信她直觉的丈夫，以及一个直观的感受：咖啡行业审美同质化严重、风格单调，一直停滞不前。 八年过后，Coffee Dose已成长为多门店布局的餐旅服务品牌，旗下拥有轻食会所、得来速门店、粉色集装箱主题店、旗舰总店、餐饮外送业务、移动意式咖啡车，还有一台名为“抗作精巴士”（Anti-Bitch Bus）的巡演级定制车辆。2026年，品牌将在恩西尼塔斯市开设Coffee Dose Brunch Club，并在棕榈泉落地一间3600平方英尺的全新旗舰店，这也是该品牌迄今为止体量最大的特色主题门店。 大多数咖啡馆创始人所谓的品牌塑造和推广，只是在饮品包装上下功夫，而Coffee Dose从创立之初就风格鲜明：高调吸睛、粉色主调、出口成“脏”、辨识度拉满。品牌菜单完全围绕自身调性打造，而非反过来让品牌迁就餐品。卡斯特罗打造出了竞争对手无法复制的核心壁垒——让顾客产生归属感，真正融入品牌理念。 “我完全没有咖啡行业经验，但我本人每天要喝三杯咖啡，好歹算个不错的起点。更重要的是，我渴望重拾创作的热情。打造全新品牌，让我找回了久违的活力。我明白不必事事通晓，只需找到专业靠谱的同行伙伴即可。我是典型的A型人格，一旦认定一件事，就会全身心投入。从开业第一天起，我就死磕品质、坚持用料纯净、甄选顶级咖啡豆，坚持所有产品自制，从风味糖浆到鲜榨杏仁奶无一例外。我们想要提供的，是升级的服务和特别的体验。既然要用自己的名义打造品牌、服务周边社区，就要做到别具一格。当初在科斯塔梅萨市街边经营88平方英尺的小店时，打造差异化不是可选项，而是生存的必然要求。在品牌表达上，我们必须要先声夺人，风格张扬、令人过目不忘。”卡斯特罗如是说道。 Coffee Dose位于恩西尼塔斯的Brunch Club门店。图片来源：COURTESY COMMON STANDARD 传统咖啡馆的扩张模式，无非是在时段客流稳定的市场复制旗舰店模板。 Coffee Dose却反其道而行之，每家门店都拥有专属风格与个性。旗舰总店、简餐会所、得...

da-kuk/E+ via Getty Images The relationship between growth and value stocks has undergone a notable reversal, according to a chart from Michael Kantro, chief investment strategist at Piper Sandler. The chart posted by Daily Chartbook tracked the five-year beta of the S&P 500 Growth and S&P 500 Value indices since the mid-2000s. Beta measures a stock or index's sensitivity to broader market movements, with a reading above 1 indicating greater volatility than the market and a reading below 1 indicating lower volatility. Historically, value stocks carried a higher beta than growth stocks, meaning they tended to be more sensitive to swings in the broader market. However, the chart showed that trend reversing around 2021, with the two measures crossing over. Since then, the beta of the S&P 500 Growth Index has steadily climbed, reaching roughly 1.16, while the beta of the S&P 500 Value Index has fallen to about 0.83. "The beta of the Value & Growth indices has completely switched places," Kantro said in a post accompanying the chart. The divergence suggested growth stocks have become the higher-risk segment of the market, while value stocks have taken on more defensive characteristics. The gap between the two measures is now near its widest level in the data shown. The shift comes after several years in which large-cap growth companies have increasingly dominated market leadership, resulting in greater sensitivity of the growth index to overall market movements. Meanwhile, value stocks have exhibited lower relative volatility, according to the chart.
