winhorse/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images This week’s road test review of Geely Automobile Holdings Limited’s ( GELYF ) new Galaxy M9 three-row SUV illustrates why automotive executives from incumbents such as General Motors Co. ( GM ), Ford Motor Co. ( F ), and Volkswagen AG ( VWAGY ) are understandably alarmed and apprehensive over rising competition from China. Testers from Edmunds.com —a subsidiary of CarMax Inc. ( KMX )—brought the plug-in hybrid M9 to its U.S. testing facilities in Los Angeles for a thorough evaluation . Galaxy M9 three-row SUV (Geely Group) “The Geely Galaxy M9 is a wake-up call for the automotive industry,” said Alistair Weaver, Edmunds editor-in-chief. “This is not a car that impresses on price alone. If it went on sale in the U.S., our tests show it has the depth of quality to compete effectively with the best three-row family SUVs. U.S. car shoppers really are missing out.” The M9 starts at about $25,000 in China—even at double that figure, it would be price competitive with three-row SUVs like the Hyundai Palisade or the BMW X5. Gathering Consensus The Edmunds review is hardly the first or even an early wake-up call concerning the potential threat of Chinese competitors. Jim Farley, Ford’s CEO, has been openly complimentary ; after driving the Xiaomi ( XIACF ) SU7 in 2024, Farley announced, “I don’t want to give it up.” Xiaomi SU 7 (Xiaomi) Solely on the basis of its unit sales growth worldwide, Geely demands attention from investors. From 2017, when the parent group sold 1.82 million vehicles, the group reached sales of 3.34 million in 2024. For 2025, unit sales of privately owned Zhejiang Geely Holding Group—which owns roughly 42% of GELYF—reached 4.11 million, a whopping 26% increase YOY, of which 806,000 were sold abroad. Geely unit sales chart (Author) Revenue and net profit of the publicly traded GELYF have more than tripled over the past four years, while the shares, traded primarily in Hong Kong, currently command a 13 P/E.

JHVEPhoto Seeking Alpha analysts largely view the recent drop in Micron's ( MU ) stock price as a buying opportunity, with three rating the stock a buy, one raising from sell to hold, and a fifth analyst labeling it a sell. SA analyst James Foord rated Micron a strong buy on Saturday , asserting that Nvidia ( NVDA ) and Micron ( MU ) are "sitting at the center of the action," just as Microsoft ( MSFT ) and Intel ( INTC ) did in the 1990s. "While Google’s efforts may cap how extreme memory requirements become, they do not eliminate the bottleneck altogether. And until they do, Micron Technology remains in a position much closer to peak Intel than the market currently appreciates," Foord said. SA analyst Forward Analytics likewise rated the stock a buy in their article Monday, arguing that Micron was in the midst of transforming from a "basic memory company" into a "crucial player in AI infrastructure." "The financials confirm that the thesis is not just theoretical; it’s already generating record cash flows and stronger margins. The risks are real but appear manageable for investors with a 12-24 month investment horizon," Forward Analytics wrote in their article . SA analyst Perseus Perspectives said they viewed investor concerns about Google's ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) TurboQuant cooling demand for Micron's memory products as overblown. "I think the market reaction to the Google TurboQuant news was a rinse and repeat of what we saw last year with DeepSeek. The market clearly hasn't learned the lessons of that episode," Perseus Perspectives wrote in their article on Saturday . "I feel pretty sure the leading AI labs want as much memory as they can possibly get a hold of, and they all know that's what their rivals think, too, increasing the urgency. With this very strong demand backdrop, I think Micron has room to run over the medium term, and I see the pullback as a buying opportunity," they added. SA analyst Julian Lin upped his rating on Micron from sell to hold, stating ...

imaginima/iStock via Getty Images Sable Offshore ( SOC ) closed down 7.9% in Monday's trading after California Attorney General Rob Bonta officially announced the state's opposition to the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's consideration of the company's request to waive a safety regulation and transport oil through Santa Barbara and Kern counties. PHMSA is without jurisdiction to issue any special permit because Sable's ( SOC ) pipelines are intrastate and therefore subject to state and not federal regulation, Bonta argued in the comment letter in opposition to the company's request. The agency "i llegally" reclassified the pipelines that run from Santa Barbara County to Kern County as "interstate," after previously classifying the pipelines as "intrastate" pipelines subject to state safety regulation and oversight, the AG said. "Let's be clear: We do not have a 'National Energy Emergency,'" Bonta wrote. "President Trump is simply prioritizing the fossil fuel industry, ensuring that they can continue to line their own pockets by illegally restarting oil transportation through California’s pipelines at the expense of our public health and environment."

Ex-CIA Analyst: What The Hell Happened With The Pilot Rescue Op In Iran? Authored by former CIA officer Larry Johnson Iran's air defense system succeeded on Friday, April 3, in downing a US F-15E over Iran. There is some dispute and confusion about the exact location (more about that later). The pilot and the WSO (i.e., Weapons System Officer) both successfully ejected but were separated . The pilot was quickly rescued by the Combat Search and Rescue (i.e., CSAR) and the two Pave Hawk helicopters ferrying him back to safety were hit, but managed to make it to Kuwait — despite trailing visible black smoke. The WSO was not so lucky. He reportedly landed 5 miles northwest of where he was ultimately rescued. I do not deny that he was recovered by US Special Operations forces on a ridge on a mountain — The red circle on the left hand side of the photo is the reported location of the pilot, the red circle on the right hand side of the photo is the airfield where the US Special Forces landed. There are some real oddities about this story . The WSO is normally a Lieutenant or a Captain… This WSO is a Colonel who is the Vice Wing Commander at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base (MSAB) in Jordan. This helps explain the large number of assets devoted to finding and rescuing him. A variety of press reports claim he suffered a broken leg or a broken ankle. This raises a legitimate question… How did a man with a broken leg walk five miles and then climb a mountain? I’m not suggesting it is an impossible task, but it does raise some questions about the accuracy of the US military’s account of events . Now here is the kicker… The geolocated wreckage of the C-130s which were apparently using a local “agricultural airstrip” (see the photo above) just happens to be right over a mountain, about 35km (21 miles) away, from Isfahan’s nuclear facility, where Iran’s ‘near-weapons grade’ enriched uranium is alleged to be stored. Was this whole affair a botched raid by US Special Operations forces to sei...

JasonDoiy/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images In what is likely to be a “challenging waiting game for investors,” Wells Fargo’s Ken Gawrelski sees growth metrics for Roblox ( RBLX ) to become “meaningfully tougher” each month of the second quarter, translating into expectations for softer guidance for Q2. While the longer-term outlook for the company is bullish, Gawrelski expects Q2 bookings guidance of $1.765B to $1.80B (representing 23% to 25% year-over-year growth) will be below the consensus estimates of $1.875B (30% growth). Meanwhile, profitability challenges will be reflected in negative EBITDA and a gross profit margin of 24%. “We still believe FY26 guidance is achievable but will be more [second half of 2026] dependent,” Gawrelski says. To reflect the 54% retracement in Roblox ( RBLX ) over the past 6 months, Gawrelski lowered his price target by 20% to $78 but maintained an Overweight rating as the company’s expansion into the ad business “represents a large opportunity.” Moreover, a higher incremental margin for the ad business (versus microtransactions) will also allow Roblox ( RBLX ) to expand its margin at a faster pace than the current target of 100-300 basis points. Shares ended the day 5% lower to reflect the likelihood of lackluster guidance when the company reports first-quarter results before the market open on April 30, at which time Roblox ( RBLX ) is expected to report an adjusted loss of $0.41 per share on $1.75B in revenue.

blackred/E+ via Getty Images As Q1 2026 earnings season draws near, the industrials sector is contending with a shifting macroeconomic backdrop, infrastructure spending momentum, defense budget expansions, and ongoing supply chain normalization are all influencing how analysts are pricing in near-term earnings for industrial companies.
