For a few hours on Wednesday, the sleepy airport of El Paso, Texas, became a sudden flashpoint for confusion. Late Tuesday night, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a terse notice to pilots that airspace in the area would close - for an unprecedented 10 days - due to “special security reasons”. And then almost as suddenly, the FAA lifted the restrictions on Wednesday morning. Conflicting accounts of what prompted the action in the first place quickly emerged. Advertisement Trump administration officials including Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the shutdown was in response to drones operated by Mexican drug cartels that had breached US airspace. Duffy said in a social media post that the FAA and Defence Department “acted swiftly” to address the incursion, and had “neutralised” the threat. A satellite image of El Paso International Airport.

These stocks have roared higher but still have room to run. If you're looking for growth in 2026 and beyond, it's a fantastic idea to add a few technology stocks to your portfolio. These players are leading innovation in many areas, and therefore, they're well-positioned to advance over the long term. You could choose stocks that have stumbled, offering you a bargain price, or you might select stocks that are roaring higher, offering you incredible momentum. It's a great idea to use both strategies, picking up a few deals and adding a couple of high-powered performers to your portfolio. Here, I'll suggest two unstoppable players, companies that are ideally placed to benefit from the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. 1. Nvidia Nvidia (NVDA +0.86%) may seem like an obvious choice, and that's the reason why it's important to point out this stock. Some investors may see it as "yesterday's AI stock" and aim to look elsewhere for a future winner. While there surely are many young AI companies to discover, Nvidia remains a pillar of the industry -- and has plenty of room for additional gains even after the stock's increase of more than 1,100% over the past five years.

Investor concerns surrounding OpenAI and ChatGPT have caused this blue chip tech giant to slide. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the hottest growth story in the stock market by a mile. As a result, it hasn't been easy to find AI stocks in the bargain bin. However, Microsoft (MSFT 2.10%) has taken it on the chin lately. The stock now sits more than 20% off its high, its sharpest decline in several years. What gives? Investors have raised concerns over OpenAI, in which Microsoft owns a 27% stake and partners closely. The situation has weighed so heavily on Microsoft stock that it may be time to swoop in and buy this dip. Here is why the tech giant is the best AI stock you can buy right now. Should investors worry about OpenAI? The company is burning through billions of dollars, which means it depends on continuously raising funds from investors to stay in business. Additionally, competitors such as Anthropic and Alphabet have eaten into OpenAI's market share. That's not a good combination. From Microsoft's perspective, the company depends heavily on OpenAI. Management disclosed during its fourth-quarter earnings that OpenAI accounts for roughly 45% of Azure's (cloud business) order backlog. In other words, if OpenAI fails, Microsoft's cloud business would implode. But OpenAI isn't throwing up its arms. The company is in talks to raise $100 billion to fund its near-term needs. ChatGPT is still the leading AI app. OpenAI is also releasing new products, including Frontier for enterprises, which allows companies to develop, deploy, and manage AI agents that can autonomously perform various tasks. OpenAI has become a risk to monitor, but it's far too early to panic. The company is just starting to open the door to some potentially massive revenue opportunities. Why Microsoft's decline is a strong buying opportunity If you look past OpenAI's drama, Microsoft just put up a pretty strong quarter. Its cloud business grew by 26% year over year to $51.5 billion, an impressive fe...

These three dividend stocks are worth a close look for their solid business quality and attractive payouts. In a market where income investors have options, the 10-year Treasury yield of 4.2% serves as a "risk-free" rate.

These three dividend stocks are worth a close look for their solid business quality and attractive payouts. In a market where income investors have options, the 10-year Treasury yield of 4.2% serves as a "risk-free" rate. It represents the guaranteed return on government debt where principal loss is virtually non-existent. To compete with the relatively high rate, a dividend stock must offer price appreciation and growth potential backed by solid coverage ratios. These three companies fit that bill. Trading members for pricing discipline UnitedHealth Group (UNH +2.03%) operates the nation's largest private health insurer, alongside Optum, a health services platform that provides pharmacy benefits, data analytics, and direct patient care. In an effort to support profitability, the company expects to lose up to 2.8 million members after increasing rates in response to rising medical costs. Shares recently dropped 20% following the release of fourth-quarter (Q4) results due in part to a rising medical care ratio (MCR) that reached 91.5%, its highest level since costs spiked last year. Making matters worse for the insurer, a proposed 0.09% increase for 2027 Medicare Advantage rates, well below industry expectations, arrived before the earnings release. Adding to the uncertainty is the ongoing Department of Justice (DOJ) criminal investigation into Medicare billing practices. Despite the ongoing uncertainty, the 3.2% dividend is safe. The business generated $16 billion in free cash flow (FCF) last year, funding the payout nearly twice over, and management expects earnings per share (EPS) growth of around 8.5% this year. After its recent retreat, the stock trades for 15.5 times next year's earnings target of $17.75 per share.
