With small-caps strutting their stuff to start 2026, this ETF may be garnering more attention, but investors can do better. Small-cap stocks are off to scintillating starts this year, with the widely followed Russell 2000 index climbing 5.31% in January. Obviously, that's good news for the various exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking that gauge, including the Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF (VTWO 1.64%). In even better news, the prevailing sentiment on Wall Street is that smaller stocks can keep the good times going this year due to a variety of factors, including expectations of economic growth, declining interest rates, and earnings growth that beats those of their large-cap counterparts. The state of the U.S. economy is material to this Vanguard fund because smaller companies are usually more domestically focused than their bigger rivals. As for lower interest rates, that would be an assist for this ETF because many small-cap firms need to borrow capital to fund growth objectives. Lower interest rates equal a lower cost of that capital. All that sounds good as it relates to this ETF, and it is, but investors should be selective with small-cap ETFs. This ETF is fine, but investors can do better The Russell 2000-tracking ETF isn't the only small-cap blend ETF in the Vanguard stable, and from the perspective of some experts, it's not the best of the issuer's batch of those products. It's actually not even the second-best as measured by 15-plus years of performance. Let's focus on the competition with the Vanguard S&P SmallCap 600 ETF (VIOO +0.35%), the light blue line in the chart above. As their names imply, the Russell 2000 tracker and that ETF are index funds, but they follow different indexes. Admittedly, index "nerdery" isn't everyone's cup of tea, so this will be a quick lesson. Entering 2025, the S&P small-cap index beat the Russell 2000 in 20 full calendar years through the end of 2024. The reason for that outperformance essentially boils down to the S&P gauge re...

The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics — strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. Veralto Corp (Symbol: VLTO) presently has an above average rank, in the top 50% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors. But making Veralto Corp an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Wednesday, shares of VLTO entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $91.02 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of Veralto Corp, the RSI reading has hit 27.2 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 58.4. A falling stock price — all else being equal — creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, VLTO's recent annualized dividend of 0.52/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 0.53% based upon the recent $97.45 share price. A bullish investor could look at VLTO's 27.2 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on VLTO is its dividend history. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but, looking at the history chart below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.

Apple (AAPL) Earnings Highlight Memory Sector Challenges GuruFocus

A weekly, midday program that delivers high-impact, editorially driven coverage of the most important corporate transactions shaping the global market. Today's guests: Brookfield CEO Bruce Flatt, Wachtell Lipton Executive Committee Co-Chair Andrew Nussbaum, Solomon Partners Head of Media and Entertainment Mark Boidman and Sullivan & Cromwell Global Head of M&A Melissa Sawyer.

格隆汇2月5日｜美国核管理委员会表示，正根据美国总统特朗普推动核反应堆许可的举措进行重组，将在60天内制定新的组织架构图及管理计划。

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Cerebras Systems said it has closed a $1 billion Series H funding round, valuing the AI chipmaker at about $23 billion. The round was led by Tiger Global and included a strategic investment from Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), adding fresh capital just months after Cerebras' previous raise late last year. The deal lands as investors continue to look for credible alternatives to Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), which remains the dominant supplier of AI accelerators. While Nvidia's H200 and Blackwell platforms anchor most large-scale deployments, Cerebras has taken a different route, building wafer-scale processors that combine an entire silicon wafer into a single chip to reduce communication bottlenecks in large model training. The company has also signed a multiyear OpenAI agreement, reported to be worth more than $10 billion for up to 750 megawatts of computing capacity. Cerebras is one of the most valuable closely held AI hardware firms, and the fresh capital allows it to continue investing in R&D as demand for specialised processors broadens beyond traditional GPU footprints. Nvidia shares are down 3.70% intraday, while AMD shares are down more than 16% following the earnings released the prior day.

或许贵金属和加密货币的起起落落不过是一个配菜？虽然金、银、比特币近期确实波动剧烈，且无疑在某些时段出现了显著回撤，但目前似乎并无证据表明市场正发生大幅错位。标普500指数周二的确走低，但收盘时已显著脱离低点。从某些指标来看，散户买盘依旧强劲，这可不是金融广泛承压的迹象。 往远一点看，债券交易员可能得去琢磨如何应对未来那位美联储主席：他既想降息（利好！），又想通过缩表来降低美联储的久期敞口。不过对后者的担忧或许有些过头了，且不说强行推行一项洛里·洛根等资产负债表专家未必认同的决策存在程序障碍，只要市场对美联储负债项的需求足够强，央行资产负债表规模可能并非美联储所能掌控。 在我职业生涯中，见过最离奇的事情之一就是白银两天内反弹了27%，而这看起来竟然仅仅像是一次回调。只有时间才能告诉我们白银到底能否在未来几周或数月内逆势再创新高。但走势图或许能给我们启发：与此前的跌势相比，自周一低点以来白银的飙升相当温和，这种价格重叠的走势通常是回调的特征。截至发稿时，金价已收复了近期大部分失地，但反弹止步于38.2%回撤位。 加密货币的表现说明大众投机工具尚未走出困境。虽然周二股市的下跌带来了一些溢出效应，但我听到传闻称散户买盘强劲，昨日巴克莱的“散户最爱一篮子股票”指数上涨近1.4%。虽然高盛的类似指数也略有下跌，但跌幅远不及标普 500指数。 总的来看，散户群体似乎试图表现得从容淡定，尽管比特币进一步下滑和金属价格持续走软可能对他们的定力是个考验。近期市场上出现了不少“强行连线”的叙事，有些观察家试图将金属和其他风险资产的下跌归咎于特朗普对凯文·沃什的提名。这种说法在几个层面上都站不住脚：a） 加密货币已经跌了四个月；b） 上周四早晨金价在约90分钟内狂跌400美元，远在特朗普宣布提名沃什之前；c） 如果市场押注沃什是鹰派，为什么收益率曲线会立即变陡？ 虽然沃什可能是一个利率鸽派（至少他向特朗普表达过这种观点），但他却是一个资产负债表的鹰派。其理念是通过减少美联储持有资产造成的干扰，让联储退出华尔街（想必也包括实体经济）。这可以通过两种方式实现：调整资产负债表的构成，或者干脆缩减其规模。 在这两者中，调整构成无论从程序还是现实角度来看都是最容易实现的。我的意思是，沃什或许能说服委员会同意缩短所持资产的到期期限，克里斯托弗·沃勒此前已经表达过对此的强烈偏好。 至于缩减资产负债表规模...

Shareholders of Citigroup Inc (Symbol: C) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 2% annualized dividend yield can sell the December 2028 covered call at the $180 strike and collect the premium based on the $8.70 bid, which annualizes to an additional 2.5% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the), for a total of 4.5% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $180 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but C shares would have to climb 50.4% from current levels for that to happen, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 57.7% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called. In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Citigroup Inc, looking at the dividend history chart for C below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 2% annualized dividend yield. Below is a chart showing C's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $180 strike highlighted in red: The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the December 2028 covered call at the $180 strike gives good reward for the risk of having given away the upside beyond $180. (Do most options expire worthless? This and six other common options myths debunked). We calculate the trailing twelve month volatility for Citigroup Inc (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $119.36) to be 32%.

Investors eyeing a purchase of Unity Software Inc (Symbol: U) shares, but tentative about paying the going market price of $24.11/share, might benefit from considering selling puts among the alternative strategies at their disposal. One interesting put contract in particular, is the January 2027 put at the $15 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of $1.76. Collecting that bid as the premium represents a 11.7% return against the $15 commitment, or a 12.4% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the). Selling a put does not give an investor access to U's upside potential the way owning shares would, because the put seller only ends up owning shares in the scenario where the contract is exercised. And the person on the other side of the contract would only benefit from exercising at the $15 strike if doing so produced a better outcome than selling at the going market price. (Do options carry counterparty risk? This and six other common options myths debunked). So unless Unity Software Inc sees its shares fall 38.5% and the contract is exercised (resulting in a cost basis of $13.24 per share before broker commissions, subtracting the $1.76 from $15), the only upside to the put seller is from collecting that premium for the 12.4% annualized rate of return. Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Unity Software Inc, and highlighting in green where the $15 strike is located relative to that history: The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the January 2027 put at the $15 strike for the 12.4% annualized rate of return represents good reward for the risks.

Investors eyeing a purchase of Zenas Biopharma Inc (Symbol: ZBIO) shares, but cautious about paying the going market price of $21.23/share, might benefit from considering selling puts among the alternative strategies at their disposal. One interesting put contract in particular, is the May put at the $12.50 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of 75 cents. Collecting that bid as the premium represents a 6% return against the $12.50 commitment, or a 21.9% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the). Selling a put does not give an investor access to ZBIO's upside potential the way owning shares would, because the put seller only ends up owning shares in the scenario where the contract is exercised.

Shareholders of ConocoPhillips (Symbol: COP) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 3.1% annualized dividend yield can sell the June 2027 covered call at the $130 strike and collect the premium based on the $6.70 bid, which annualizes to an additional 4.6% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the), for a total of 7.8% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $130 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but COP shares would have to advance 22.3% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 28.6% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.

This will be supported by a strengthened earned media model, where design-led storytelling and social engagement increasingly drive traffic and customer acquisition. Pandora will continue to evolve in offering multi-material jewellery. This includes the introduction of jewellery wi...

March ICE NY cocoa (CCH26) today is down -210 (-4.88%), and March ICE London cocoa #7 (CAH26) is down -111 (-3.59%). Cocoa prices are sharply lower today but remain above last Friday's significant lows. Last Friday, NY cocoa dropped to a 2.25-year nearest-futures low, and London cocoa sank to a 2.5-year low, as abundant global supplies and slack demand weigh on cocoa prices. StoneX last Thursday forecasted a global cocoa surplus of 287,000 MT in the 2025/26 season and a 267,000 MT surplus for 2026/27. Also, the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) reported on January 23 that global cocoa stocks rose 4.2% y/y to 1.1 MMT. Don’t Miss a Day: Demand concerns have hammered cocoa prices as consumers continue to balk at the high price of chocolate. Last Wednesday, Barry Callebaut AG, the world's largest bulk chocolate maker, reported a -22% decline in sales volume in its cocoa division for the quarter ending November 30, citing "negative market demand and a prioritization of volume toward higher-return segments within cocoa." Grinding reports also showed weak demand. On January 15, the European Cocoa Association reported that Q4 European cocoa grindings fell -8.3% y/y to 304,470 MT, a bigger decline than expectations of -2.9% y/y and the lowest for a Q4 in 12 years. On December 16, the Cocoa Association of Asia reported that Q4 Asian cocoa grindings fell -4.8% y/y to 197,022 MT. Also, the National Confectioners Association reported Q4 North American cocoa grindings rose only +0.3% y/y to 103,117 MT. Since posting a 10.5-month low of 1,626,105 bags on December 26, ICE-monitored cocoa inventories held in US ports have rebounded, a bearish factor for prices. ICE cocoa inventories climbed to a 2.5-month high of 1,782,921 bags on Tuesday. Slowing cocoa deliveries to ports in the Ivory Coast is a supportive factor for prices. Monday's cumulative data showed that Ivory Coast farmers shipped 1.23 MMT of cocoa to ports in the current marketing year (October 1, 2025, through Febru...
