A view shows model BYD SEAL U of BYD, a Chinese automobile manufacturer, displayed during an event a day ahead of the official opening of the 2023 Munich Auto Show IAA Mobility, in Munich, Germany, September 4, 2023. Leonhard Simon | Reuters Two of China's leading automakers, BYD and Geely , are among the finalists vying to purchase a Nissan–Mercedes-Benz plant in Mexico, according to a person familiar with the matter, as China seeks a manufacturing foothold in a country where U.S. tariffs are fueling factory closures and layoffs. The finalists emerged from nine companies expressing interest in acquiring the factory, including at least two other major Chinese manufacturers: Chery and Great Wall Motor, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Vietnamese electric-vehicle maker VinFast is the third finalist, one of the people said. The interest from Chinese automakers, which has not been previously reported, heralds a potentially major shift in Mexico's car industry. For decades, U.S., European and Japanese automakers have dominated, mostly building U.S.-bound vehicles. Now, Mexican officials face a balancing act. Trump administration tariffs are battering Mexico's auto sector, and Chinese investment could generate much-needed jobs. But Mexican officials also fear that Chinese production in Mexico could inflame Washington and jeopardize this year's North American trade-agreement negotiations. The United States has effectively banned Chinese-brand vehicle sales, and President Donald Trump has accused Mexico of providing a back door for Chinese goods to enter the U.S. market. BYD, Geely, Chery, Great Wall and VinFast did not comment for this story. The Mexico-manufacturing ambitions of BYD and Geely underscore the explosive global growth of China's auto industry. BYD's vehicle sales have jumped ten-fold since 2020 and Geely's have doubled. Both sold more than 4 million vehicles last year - about as many as Ford. Mexico is a major export market for BYD, Geely an...

J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images The business development company, or BDC, market ( BIZD ) has already for some time fallen out of investors' favor, at least from the marginal buyer perspective. The first repricing started to happen in early 2025, when the market realized that lower base rates will eventually erode BDC earrings power, which in turn would lead to dividend reductions. Another element that supported BDC deratings was the notable spread compression as the M&A markets were effectively idle due to interest rate and policy uncertainty. Then in Q3, 2025, Jamie Dimon came out with the famous comment around additional cockroaches emerging in the seemingly risk-loaded private credit space. This was triggered by the Tricolor and First Brands bankruptcies, which in combination with Jamie's comment caused notable shockwaves in the sector. However, after some period of structural repricing, in late 2025 BDCs finally started to exhibit signs of a reversal, which, in my view, was fully warranted as the BDC portfolio qualities still remained robust and the dividend yields (even after some cuts considered) were extremely competitive in relation to other high-yield alternatives. Now, because of the increased chatter around SaaS companies ( IGV ) and how they could get impaired due to the AI technologies, the market has once again switched on the "BDC punishment" mode. All of this just shows that BDC prices are mostly (at least currently) dictated by the credit risk dynamics and not what takes place at the interest rate (and thus dividend) department. Having said that, it does not mean that we should ignore the dividend component. For many BDC investors the expectation that gets assigned to the deployed capital here is twofold: Accessing high dividends that are not fed by the underlying NAV. Getting that income in steady and reliable fashion. And in this context, I have to say that the overall picture has become quite complex. It is not that black of white. Whil...

Jonathan Kitchen/DigitalVision via Getty Images I previously covered Arm Holdings plc ( ARM ) in August 2025, discussing how its renewed growth efforts were likely to be rather expensive, arising from the likely to be impacted profit margins/adj EPS arising from the intensified R&D investments and the speculative M&A activities. Combined with the decelerating growth profile, I had believed that the stock might continue trading sideways, resulting in my Hold rating then. In this article, I shall discuss why I am reiterating my Hold rating for the ARM stock, given the mixed return prospects arising from the still expensive valuations despite the recent correction, the mixed technical indicators, and the potential volatility arising from the elevated beta coefficient of 2.46x. This is despite the robust licensing/royalty growth prospects, the increased adoption of v9 architecture at higher royalty revenue per chip, the custom ASIC tailwinds from the multi-year cloud super-cycle, and the management's promising FQ4'26/FY2027 guidance. ARM Boasts Robust, Diversified Growth Prospects ARM 1Y Stock Price ( TradingView) Since my last Hold rating, ARM has remained volatile, as posited in my last article, with the stock's sideways trading between the established resistance/support levels lending credence to my prior swing trade investment thesis. This development is unsurprising indeed, as observed in the cooling market sentiments for AI-related stocks despite numerous market leaders reiterating the durability of data center-related spending trends in the ongoing Q4'25 earnings season. The same has been reported by ARM in the recent FQ3'26 earnings call, with licensing revenue growth of +25% YoY and royalty revenue growth of +27% YoY, thanks to the growing adoption of its Arm Total Access licenses to 50 (+10 YoY) and Arm Flexible Access licenses to 318 (+23 YoY). Much of their tailwinds are attributed to their incremental share gains by chip value against x86 incumbents across ...

TheKaran/iStock via Getty Images Occidental Petroleum Overview In this day and age of clicking on the computer and other forms of instant satisfaction, long-term seems to have become a long-lost skill set when it comes to investing. Many saw Warren Buffett purchase shares of Occidental Petroleum ( OXY ) repeatedly and then had all kinds of qualms about the fact that he stopped. But Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A )( BRK.B ) have their own goals, objectives, and a strategy to execute all of that. They do not have to tell anyone about it. Furthermore, Mr. Buffett seems to understand long-term better than a lot of us that seem to want things to happen by lunchtime because that is long-term enough. Many of us think the long-term is the time between breakfast and lunch. Out of the remainder, a whole lot think that long-term is possibly six months. But there is a basic business school theme covered by David Dreman in his " Contrarian Investment Strategy " series of books that goes into one business cycle, which is five to seven years. In this day and age, when a business cycle is talked about, one sees a lot of eye rolls because no one waits that long. "Everybody" knows that. Yet Occidental is a very large company. Large companies often show improvement over time. It took Vicki Holub, CEO , about 4 years to be able to prove to the doubters that the Anadarko acquisition was a huge positive for Occidental Petroleum. Back in 2023, I covered the record earnings reported that she claimed were made possible by that acquisition. Before that I noted about 8 million acres that were part of the deal at no value on the Anadarko balance sheet. Investors could also see the work done with publicly traded Western Midstream Partners ( WES ) which Occidental has turned around nicely. Now the company has made still more deals. The doubters want results right away. To some extent there have been some benefits to the deals, as they were by and large immediately accretive. But w...
Although the stock market has sold off a bit, it's really not as bad as some people think. A few negative days in a row may be worrisome, but the S&P 500 is only down a couple of percentage points from its all-time high, so to call this a full-blown market sell-off isn't accurate. Now, if you want to rebrand it to a tech stock sell-off, that's more like it. Many tech stocks are down significantly ...
Although the stock market has sold off a bit, it's really not as bad as some people think. A few negative days in a row may be worrisome, but the S&P 500 is only down a couple of percentage points from its all-time high, so to call this a full-blown market sell-off isn't accurate. Now, if you want to rebrand it to a tech stock sell-off, that's more like it. Many tech stocks are down significantly from their recent highs, but most don't have a great reason to be there. I think these are the best stocks to buy now, and I've got three on my shopping list. I think each of these stocks will deliver excellent returns over the next few years, and should be bought hand over fist right now. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Innovative Solutions and Support press release ( ISSC ): Q1 Non-GAAP EPS of $0.25. Revenue of $21.8M. First quarter revenue was $21.8 million, an increase of 36.5% compared to the same period last year, driven by growth in aftermarket products for commercial customers and higher services revenues. This performance was partially offset by lower revenue on the F-16 platform as a result of the transition of product line manufacturing to the Company’s Exton facility that was completed during the first quarter, in addition to the timing of customer shipments. New orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were approximately $19 million and backlog as of December 31, 2025 was approximately $75 million.

Seres Therapeutics ( MCRB ) lost ~25% in the premarket on Thursday after the company announced plans to pause additional investments for a mid-stage trial designed to test its lead asset SER-155 in patients undergoing stem cell transplants. The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based biotech has initiated the pause as it continues to seek funding for the Phase 2 trial, targeted at people undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT). Instead, the company said it will focus on its earlier-stage programs, including a fully enrolled study for SER-155 in immune checkpoint-related enterocolitis (irEC), a common adverse event in patients receiving a class of cancer drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors. The investigator-sponsored trial conducted in partnership with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is expected to generate data in early Q2 2026. “Seres has taken extensive steps to prepare for a robust SER-155 Phase 2 study in allo-HSCT, including submission of a final protocol to the FDA,” CEO Marella Thorell said. Concurrently, Seres ( MCRB ) announced plans to lay off nearly 30% of its workforce, a move it said would extend its cash runway through Q3 2026. “As we shift our operational focus to our promising earlier-stage pipeline, we are now in a position to streamline our organization and cost structure,” Thorell added.
