OPEC+ oil production declined sharply last month amid losses in Kazakhstan, Venezuela and Iran, the group said. The 22 nations of the alliance produced an average of 42.448 million barrels a day in January, or 439,000 a day less than the previous month, according to a copy of the group’s monthly report obtained by Bloomberg.

OPEC+ oil production declined sharply last month amid losses in Kazakhstan, Venezuela and Iran, the group said. The 22 nations of the alliance produced an average of 42.448 million barrels a day in January, or 439,000 a day less than the previous month, according to a copy of the group’s monthly report obtained by Bloomberg. Kazakhstan accounted for more than half of the drop. While the report didn’t give a reason for the overall decline, Kazakhstan’s production fell as it suspended operations at the Tengiz oil field , the country’s largest. The Chevron-led venture started to restore output there at the end of last month. Separately, Venezuelan oil exports were disrupted by a US blockade during the ousting of former President Nicolas Maduro, while Iran continues to face American sanctions. Saudi Arabia and several other key nations held steady in January as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies began a three-month freeze to offset a seasonal lull in consumption. They’ll meet online on March 1 to review production levels for April and beyond. OPEC kept forecasts for global oil supply and demand unchanged for this year and next, according to the report.

TLDRs; Nvidia stock dips slightly as US imposes stricter licensing for AI chip exports to China. New rules require detailed certification to prevent diversion of H200 chips to military use.

Supply-chain constraints and memory shortages could complicate Nvidia’s compliance with US rules. 💥 Find the Next KnockoutStock! Get live prices, charts, and KO Scores from KnockoutStocks.com , the data-driven platform ranking every stock by quality and breakout potential. Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) edged lower on Wednesday as investors digested new guidance from the US Commerce Department on AI chip exports to China. Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed that Nvidia must strictly adhere to licensing terms for its advanced AI chips, including the H200, under a framework coordinated with the State Department. The tighter oversight follows a trade truce between the US and China last October, which temporarily delayed some export restrictions. Despite the delay, Nvidia has yet to agree to all proposed conditions, such as “know-your-customer” protocols designed to prevent its chips from being used for military purposes. Lutnick deferred questions on China’s compliance to presidential authority, underscoring the complex geopolitics surrounding the deal. Investors reacted cautiously, sending Nvidia shares slightly lower in midday trading, reflecting concerns about potential hurdles in its China sales channel. Case-by-Case Export Reviews Introduced The new policy transforms US export controls from a blanket “presumption of denial” into a more flexible, case-by-case licensing system. Under these rules, Nvidia is required to submit detailed certifications to qualify for exports. NVIDIA Corporation, NVDA The company must show that the total processing performance (TPP) of chips shipped to China or Macau does not exceed 50% of equivalent shipments to US customers. It also must ensure that these exports do not disrup...

Key Points Broadcom's revenue rose 28% year over year in its most recent quarter. The company has major deals with Anthropic and Alphabet. Management expects its AI chip revenue growth to accelerate this year. 10 stocks we like better than Broadcom › If you put a group of people in a room and ask a question, you'll rarely get the same answer from everybody. And that holds true if you're asking about stocks as well -- particularly when you're seeking the views of the highly trained stock analysts who provide expert analysis about publicly traded companies. But there's one artificial intelligence (AI) stock that breaks the mold: Wall Street's experts are overwhelmingly positive on Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO). Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » About Broadcom stock Broadcom is one of the leading makers of AI chips worldwide. True, it doesn't get as much publicity as Nvidia, which became the market leader in the data center parallel processor business with its powerful graphics processing units (GPUs). But Broadcom is charting a different course through that market, making it a compelling investment. Broadcom designs custom chips called application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). It works directly with its hyperscaler clients to design ASICs to be precisely suited to the workloads they are expected to handle. While this makes them less flexible than Nvidia general-purpose GPUs, it makes Broadcom's chips more affordable to buy and more efficient to operate. Now, here's where it gets interesting. Broadcom has worked with Alphabet to help it create its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), which it is using as an alternative to Nvidia's GPUs. They have been working together since 2016 to develop TPUs that are suitable for training and running AI programs. That partnership is going to continue. Alphabet announced that it plans to spend about $18...

luza studios Astera Labs ( ALAB ) was in focus on Wednesday as Wall Street analysts debated the company's latest financial results and guidance and its deal with Amazon ( AMZN ). Shares fell 12% in premarket trading. J.P. Morgan analyst Harlan Sur said the results in the most recent quarter were “strong,” citing the continued ramp of Astera's Scorpio “P” series, its PCIe Gen 6 retimers, and the networking connectivity Taurus product line. And while its guidance was stronger-than-expected, there were some concerns, including a potential decline in future gross margins, due in part to Amazon getting a warrant in the company, an “unfavorable” SKU mix, and a higher mix of hardware sales. “Higher shipments to Amazon will negatively impact the margin profile due to contra-revenue recognition (warrants); however, we expect this impact to diminish over time as the team continues to diversify its customer mix,” Sur wrote in a note to clients. “Operating expenses are set to increase materially in the March quarter due to recent acquisitions and accelerated R&D spending. While revenues are trending higher, earnings growth is dampened by margin compression and higher operating expenses. We believe it is prudent for the team to prioritize revenue growth, given the strong demand profile they are seeing. Overall, we believe Astera’s robust and expanding new product pipeline will continue to set a high bar for competitors, reinforcing our confidence that it will maintain over 80% PCIe retimer market share and drive strong share in the PCIe/fabric XPU switching, networking connectivity, and memory controller markets over the long term.” Sur kept his Overweight rating on Astera, but lowered his price target to $205 from $215. Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore had a similar take, noting that the company's “strong” topline growth is being offset by its aggressive expansion plans. “We have viewed 1H26 as a transitional phase, with the importance of the Scorpio X ramp with Amazon's Tra...

NiSource (NI) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.51 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.49 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.49 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +4.08%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this energy holding company would post earnings of $0.2 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.19, delivering a surprise of -5%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. NiSource, which belongs to the Zacks Utility - Electric Power industry, posted revenues of $1.89 billion for the quarter ended December 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 45.49%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.59 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. NiSource shares have added about 7.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 1.4%. What's Next for NiSource? While NiSource has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Tenet shares have lost about 2.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 1.4%. What's Next for Tenet? While Tenet has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earning...

MF3d/iStock via Getty Images Introduction All but the most reclusive investors are likely aware of crypto’s dramatic crash over the last six months, going from an ATH of around $126,000 to a current level of around $70,000, having hit an interim low of around $60,000. The story has featured in financial headlines across the globe, causing significant discomfort among both institutional and retail holders. After five red monthly candles in a row, let’s examine whether Bitcoin and tracker ETFs like Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund ( FBTC ) can regain their footing in 2026. FBTC And What Institutionalization Actually Looks Like The emergence of multiple Bitcoin ETFs in recent years shows how far crypto has moved into the traditional financial system. The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund is one example, offered by one of the largest asset managers in the world and structured like any other exchange-traded fund that investors can access through a standard brokerage account. With just over $13.3 billion in assets under management , FBTC is one of the largest Bitcoin ETFs. It has a relatively low expense ratio of 0.25% and typically trades very close to NAV. According to TradingView, the fund is currently trading at a premium of 0.03% to the underlying. From January 1 through February 11, FBTC has seen roughly $1.08 billion in net outflows . Institutional access has not insulated Bitcoin from volatility. Year-to-date outflows show that ETF investors have also been reducing exposure during the drawdown. Institutionalization has broadened access, but it has not prevented selling pressure. Blood On The Streets Crypto sentiment has gone from caution to capitulation. The CMC Fear and Greed Index is showing extreme fear with a reading of 8/100 for the worst snapshot since 2022. The index uses factors like trading volume, volatility, market cap, social media sentiment, and Google Trends. Corporate balance sheets tied to Bitcoin and the mining sector now show visible strain.

Welcome to our guide to the commodities driving the global economy. Today, reporter Mitchell Ferman looks at BP Plc’s decision this week to halt share buybacks and shore up its balance sheet. BP executives were peppered with questions yesterday about the struggling oil major’s share repurchase program and when it might be restored. Their responses underscored one of the biggest challenges facing incoming Chief Executive Officer Meg O’Neill when she arrives in April. Share buybacks have become a staple for Big Oil investors after crude prices were elevated in recent years, but BP needs the money for other priorities. BP Chief Financial Officer Kate Thomson offered few clues on when they might resume, saying there’s no timeline or specific trigger. The UK energy giant’s shares extended a slump, falling as much as 7.7%. “You’re taking away from equity holders in the near term, and you’re asking them to stay with you,” said Lucas Hermann, an analyst at BNP Paribas SA, on a conference call with executives. “And you’re not giving equity holders a date whereby they might expect to see greater distributions from the company in line with many of your peers.” European rival TotalEnergies SE concluded oil supermajor earnings today by shrinking its share buyback as it previously guided , and its shares rose. Peers Chevron Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp and Shell Plc all maintained buybacks. That leaves BP increasingly isolated from the world’s biggest energy companies. For BP, scrapping the investor payout in an effort to sacrifice short-term share price momentum for long-term health was just step one. Actually executing on improving the balance sheet — saddled with total debt and financial obligations of around $60 billion — will be much more difficult after years of underperformance. With O’Neill expected to shake up the company, her plan will need to convince investors of a clear path to profits and payouts. Meanwhile, BP executives are offering few hints about how the company’s st...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN, Financials) is taking its green ambitions to new heights. In a filing with the government, the online retailer said it now owned 5.3% of BETA Technologies Inc., a fast growing electric aviation company that is working on planes that can take off and land vertically. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission received the document, which discloses that Amazon owns around 11.75 million shares of BETA's Class A stock through its NV Holdings subsidiary. Amazon has complete voting and investing rights over the share because of the investment. After hours trade on Tuesday, BETA's stock shot up 17% as investors liked the news. The Vermont-based startup has been making electric vertical takeoff and landing planes for cargo and regional travel. These planes might transform the way distribution and logistics networks function in the future. It's not too unexpected that Amazon is involved. The business has previously supported Rivian Automotive Inc., which makes electric cars, and has been adding to its Amazon Air fleet. Experts think this new investment is a long-term gamble on cleaner, quicker transportation, and maybe even the next big thing in sustainable shipping.

England’s two white-ball series in South Africa next year are currently in doubt amid the latest scheduling clash that pits franchise cricket against the international game. As it stands, England’s men are due to play three Tests, three one-day internationals and three Twenty20s in South Africa next winter. The white-ball leg of this rare “full tour” to the country represents an important scouting mission for the World Cup that South Africa are co-hosting in late 2027. Dates for the marquee Test series that runs from mid-December to 7 January are close to being finalised. But there is growing concern that some or all of the limited-overs leg that follows could be postponed due to a direct clash with the SA20 that runs from 9 January until 14 February. The Guardian understands the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has turned down a request from Cricket South Africa (CSA) to split the tour and play the white-ball games in February after the SA20 is completed. England’s men are due to play two Tests in Bangladesh during that same period. It leaves CSA scrambling to find a solution, the SA20 window having been agreed over a year ago and South Africa’s leading players contracted to appear in the tournament, with no mechanism to withdraw them. A similar clash with the SA20 in 2024 saw South Africa criticised for sending a weakened side for two Tests in New Zealand, a series they lost 2-0. While this was waved through at the time, despite technically falling foul of regulations, the International Cricket Council is said to be against a repeat. CSA is now hoping the SA20 team owners – all six Indian Premier League franchises – can be persuaded to delay the start of the tournament by a few days to allow the ODIs to at least be staged. The three T20s, less relevant to World Cup preparations, would be postponed indefinitely. Even if this is agreed, access to the leading grounds would still be restricted while they are being readied for the SA20. The likes of Bloemfontein, ...

HAKINMHAN/iStock via Getty Images Prospect Capital ( PSEC ) delivered better-than-expected net investment income results for the last quarter, flying past consensus NII estimates. The BDC, while seeing an improvement in its dividend coverage Q/Q, also reported continual net asset value erosion which is the main reason why shares of Prospect Capital are trading at such a steep discount to net asset value. The BDC has a strong liquidity position and a low non-accrual percentage overall which helps support an overall bullish rating, in my opinion, despite the clearly higher-than-average risks. All things considered, Prospect Capital’s shares remain a strong buy for me, in large part because of the excessive 59% net asset value discount. Seeking Alpha Previous rating I rated Prospect Capital a strong buy in my last work on the BDC -- Strong Buy On 60% NAV Discount -- in November 2025 because the BDC successfully restored its dividend coverage profile after cutting its dividend in November 2024. While Prospect Capital suffers from investment losses, which weighed on the BDC's net asset value in the last quarter, the investment firm also has strong liquidity, focuses more on higher-quality first liens and has little exposure to the software sector. Despite the risks, I believe a strong buy rating can be justified, but only for investors who understand the NAV risks. NAV losses continue, dividend well-supported Prospect Capital reported much-better-than expected net investment income for the December quarter with the BDC publishing NII of $0.19 per-share which exceeded the consensus estimates by a massive $0.09 per-share. As I indicated last time, Prospect Capital is shifting towards first liens which has resulted in the BDC slowing its originations and shrinking its portfolio. This resulted in a predictable reduction in the BDC’s interest income as well, which declined 12% year-over-year to $149.1M in Q2'26. Interest income is part of a BDC’s total investment income which...
