JHVEPhoto Super Micro Computer ( SMCI ) confirmed on Tuesday that an independent investigation into two former employees and a contractor, alleged to have illegally shipped Nvidia-powered ( NVDA ) servers to China, is underway. “The investigation is being led by two independent members of the Company’s Board, Scott Angel, Lead Independent Director, and Tally Liu, Chair of the Board’s Audit Committee, who will report their findings and conclusions to the other four independent members of the Board,” the company said in a statement . “Mr. Angel, who joined Supermicro’s Board in 2025, spent nearly four decades in Deloitte’s Audit and Assurance practice, including 25 years as an Audit Partner. Mr. Liu also brings deep audit and accounting expertise, including 25 years as a Certified Public Accountant and senior leadership roles in internal audit and finance.” In addition, Super Micro said its independent directors have retained the law firm Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP, also known as MTO, to look into the matter. MTO has retained AlixPartners as an independent consultant. MTO, AlixPartners and the independent directors will work with BDO USA, P.C., Super Micro's auditor. “Supermicro is committed to protecting America’s advanced technologies and intellectual property,” Charles Liang, president and CEO of Supermicro, added. “Our internal review and the independent directors’ investigation are being conducted in line with our commitment to ensuring our technology is handled with the highest level of ethical and legal scrutiny.” Super Micro said its directors have not yet set a definitive timetable for the investigation, and it will provide an update when it is complete. In an indictment unsealed last month, the U.S. government alleged that Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw, Ruei-Tsan, “Steven” Chang, and Ting-Wei “Willy” Sun worked together to violate the Export Control Reform Act. Liaw co-founded Super Micro in 1993 and joined its board of directors in 2023. Chang was a sales manager...

The Left Is Baffled - But Still Repulsed - By The White Working Class Authored by Victor Davis Hanson via American Greatness, After failing to win Congress and the presidency in 2024, the Democrats conducted an internal postmortem of what went wrong. While they predictably did not divulge the full results, everyone knew what they had found. Their obsessions with the low side of 30/70 issues had especially alienated Democrats from white middle- and working-class voters. Yet middle-class whites still comprise about 40–50 percent of the population and are perhaps overrepresented in voter turnout. Democrats realize that their fixations on biological males competing in women’s sports, open borders and millions of illegal entries, radical green agendas, DEI-driven racial essentialism, and massive government entitlements rife with fraud have alienated the middle classes in general and white middle- and working-class voters in particular. But since Democrat ideologues cannot shed their ideological straitjackets, they have instead tried to finesse the very problem that cost them the 2024 election. They recall, in particular, the successful blueprint that won them the 2020 election. During that campaign, Joe Biden largely remained out of public view, hiding in his basement, while his handlers reconstructed him as a kind of waxen effigy of “good ol’ Joe from Scranton,” a throwback to the 1970s. Once the cognitively diminished Biden was elected, his hard-left, Obama-era operatives behind that ossified, working-man veneer enacted the most radical four-year agenda in modern American history. On the one hand, Democrats claim they will field candidates who can at least playact as good ol’ boy farmers and salt-of-the-earth welders. The 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate, Humpty Dumpty lookalike Tim Walz, talked incessantly about driving a pickup truck. He assured us he could change its oil and tried to portray himself as a genuine hunter. Yet these claims often came across ...

Olga Yastremska/iStock via Getty Images The last time I spoke about Greenwich LifeSciences ( GLSI ) it was with respect to a Seeking Alpha article entitled " Greenwich LifeSciences: Halting Of Breast Cancer Recurrence With GLSI-100 ." With respect to this article, I mentioned that the company was in the process of advancing its phase 3 FLAMINGO-01 study using GLSI-100 for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer patients who had residual disease or high-risk pathologic complete response [PCR] at surgery and who had completed both neoadjuvant and postoperative adjuvant trastuzumab-based regimens. The company is still in the process of running this phase 3 FLAMINGO-01 study using this immunotherapy candidate to treat these HER2-positive breast cancer patients. However, the reason why I believe it is important to go over this company again is because it had two major updates relating to the development of this specific program. The first of which is that it released open-label data from the phase 3 FLAMINGO-01 study, which showed that non-HLA-A*02 HER2-positive breast cancer patients had an 80% reduction in recurrence rate. One item to mention here is that this open-label study data was achieved while keeping this study phase 3 study blind. Secondly, there were protocol changes with the FDA that allowed the company to be able to go after both HLA-A*02 and non-HLA-A*02 patients as part of this late-stage trial. This brings me to the next positive update from this program, which is that the company was able to file new patent claims based on this statistically significant open-label immune response and recurrence data. Should the patent claims be upheld in court, then the company believes that it could be able to have patent protection of GLSI-100 through 2045. The key item here is that it would be able to target HER2-positive breast cancer patients regardless of HLA type [that is, to also go after non-HLA-A*02 patients]. With the key phase 3 FLAMINGO-01 study using ...

alexsl/iStock via Getty Images I believe that the Invesco S&P 500 Concentrated QVM ETF ( QVMT ), which has changed its strategy and was renamed in February, could be a worthy candidate for multifactor investors' short list of vehicles. However, I consider its outperformance versus the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF ( IVV ) this year unlikely. I should acknowledge though that as President Donald Trump's deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is approaching , the escalation scenario still cannot be called entirely impossible. And if equities are to crater and the oil price is to march even higher, low beta and high earnings yield of the QVMT portfolio should immunize it from a too-deep maximum drawdown (that is to say, I expect it to capture less than 90% of IVV's downside in this scenario). However, I still hope that there is a possibility that a solution for de-escalation will be found. This, in turn, will topple bears' entire thesis, which rests on supply chain disruption, soaring oil prices, higher inflation, and the potential for higher interest rates, thus opening the door for the S&P 500's swift recovery (and, hopefully, charting its route to 7,550 ). In these conditions, while value and low volatility could have a slight advantage tactically depending on the developments surrounding the conflict, I expect growth and GARP factors to ultimately retake leadership. Overall, while QVMT has multiple advantages and its strategy makes a lot of sense, I believe it deserves a Hold rating. QVMT Strategy And Portfolio First and foremost, as we know from the Invesco website , on February 23, a meaningful strategy change was implemented: Effective February 23, 2026, the Invesco S&P 500 Enhanced Value ETF was renamed to The Invesco S&P 500 Concentrated QVM ETF. As a result, the fund’s ticker changed to QVMT and the Underlying index changed from the S&P 500 Enhanced Value Index to the S&P Quality, Value, and Momentum Multi-factor Index. So even though I assessed the fund in Januar...

Levi Strauss press release ( LEVI ): Q1 Non-GAAP EPS of $0.42. Revenue of $1.7B. Operating margin was 11.4% in Q1 2026 compared to 12.5% in Q1 2025. Adjusted EBIT margin was 12.5% in Q1 2026 compared to 13.4% in Q1 2025, reflecting the impact of tariffs and planned increases in advertising. Gross margin was 61.9% compared to 62.1% in Q1 2025 primarily due to the impact of tariffs, partially offset by price increases and less promotional activity. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $872 million compared to $749 million in Q1 2025. Adjusted SG&A expenses were up 15.7% to $861 million compared to $744 million last year primarily due to the planned higher advertising costs in connection with the launch of the Behind Every Original campaign, the higher-than-expected sales volume and foreign exchange. Interest and other income (expense), net, which includes foreign exchange gains and losses, were income of $30 million and expenses of $15 million in the aggregate in Q1 2026 and Q1 2025, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 22.4%, compared to 20.6% in Q1 2025. Net income from continuing operations was $177 million compared to $140 million in Q1 2025. Adjusted net income was $167 million compared to $150 million in Q1 2025. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.45 compared to $0.35 in Q1 2025. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.42 compared to $0.38 in Q1 2025.

Investors wary of being wrong-footed by twists in the Iran war are trading stocks at a record pace, one measure shows, illustrating how the conflict has ramped up uncertainty among market participants. With markets hanging on every development in the Middle East and the often unpredictable missives of President Donald Trump, gauges of trading volume have spiked . One such metric, the daily turnover in the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust , has breached $60 billion — a level seen as a “freak out” indicator by Bloomberg Intelligence strategists — 29 times this year. That new record compares to 28 times in all of 2025, according to BI’s Athanasios Psarofagis . Markets were on edge again Tuesday, after Trump threatened to wipe out Iran’s “whole civilization” and continued attacks on the country’s main oil export facility, ratcheting up pressure on Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The S&P 500 Index has fallen some 5.2% from its all-time high and recently marked its worst quarter since 2022, while prices for Brent crude are up around 75% year to date. Read more: Why Trump’s Iran Threats Raise War Crime Concerns “President Trump enjoys maximum uncertainty as a negotiating strategy, which is at odds with the market’s dislike of uncertainty,” said Sameer Samana , head of global equities and real assets at Wells Fargo Investment Institute. “We see this lasting throughout the entirety of his presidency as he negotiates and renegotiates a variety of situations and agreements and markets would be well to keep that in mind.” With little letup in the news flow, the risk of fresh market-moving events hitting stocks has made it hard for traders to simply sit on the sidelines, according to BCA Research’s Doug Peta . “Uncertainty is extremely elevated because the US could exit the conflict or significantly escalate it in the time it takes to retweet a Truth Social post and because the disparity of outcomes is so wide,” he said. At the same time, the gyrations appear to be tak...
