Lawmakers from both parties have condemned the attack on Ilhan Omar after the Minnesota congresswoman was sprayed with an unknown substance during her town hall on Tuesday night in Minneapolis. In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, the House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, responded to comments from Donald Trump who quipped that “she probably had herself sprayed, knowing her.” Jeffries countered: “That’s a disgusting comment and the president’s lies and misinformation continue to fan the flames of these types of violent incidents. “Ilhan Omar, of course, is a strong, courageous, hardworking public servant. This should have never happened,” he continued. Trump has long targeted Omar, who arrived in the US as a refugee as a child and has been a citizen for more than 25 years. His xenophobic attacks on her have ramped up in recent weeks as he has targeted Minnesota’s Somali community. He recently called for her to be “sent back to Somalia” in a post on Truth Social. After the attack, lawmakers have directly blamed Trump’s rhetoric. Jasmine Crockett, the Democratic representative from Texas, said in a social media post that she was “disgusted” and “outraged”. “Let’s be clear: nonstop hate and dangerous rhetoric from Trump and his allies has fueled this type of violence.” The Minnesota representative Angie Craig said she was “relieved that my colleague Ilhan is safe”. “The rise in political violence in our state must stop,” she posted on X. “We are better than this Minnesota.” Chris Van Hollen, a Democratic senator of Maryland, said he was “relieved” that Omar was not injured. “But Trump’s response was shameful – & Republicans should say so. His baseless & racist attacks against her have no doubt endangered her. His inability to condemn the attack is appalling,” he wrote on X. Greg Landsman, a Democratic representative from Ohio, said “the rhetoric against a sitting member of Congress is un-American” and leads to more violence. “Everyone, regardless of political affil...

The market may be approaching a noteworthy turning point this January, according to Carson Investment Research. Historically, the month has tended to alternate in three-year cycles of gains and losses, and the market is currently riding a three-year streak of positive January performance from 2023 through 2025. This pattern raises questions about whether 2026 could break the cycle and deliver a rare fourth consecutive gain. As of January, the benchmark S&P 500 Index ( SP500 ) has climbed 1.7%, briefly touching the milestone 7,000 level on Wednesday, reflecting broad optimism among investors. Market watchers are now turning to corporate earnings reports scheduled this week, seeking clues on whether strong results from Magnificent Seven members could extend the January rally or if signs of softness will interrupt the streak. Analysts note that while the historical pattern is not predictive, it underscores the market’s sensitivity to early-year momentum. Investors will be watching closely for indications of whether history will repeat—or reverse.

Vitoria Holdings LLC/iStock via Getty Images TRX Gold Corporation's Bullish Outlook: What You Need to Know If you're interested in gold mining and exploration companies benefiting from record gold prices, TRX Gold Corporation ( TRX ) should be on your radar. Although the company's gold production is still small, it is attracting investor attention, much like a large corporation. Value creation is developing promisingly, and the positive impact on shareholders is justifiably very motivating. This momentum deserves our full recognition. This article explores TRX Gold's current situation and growth strategy. The context is a friendly one. Robust demand for safe-haven assets in the face of uncertainty and instability due to macroeconomic problems and geopolitical chaos, as well as growing hopes for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, resulted in the Gold Spot Price ( XAUUSD:CUR ) reaching $5,095.68 per ounce at the time of writing, up 17.7% year to date and 85.7% over the past 12 months. Amid this golden hype, TRX shares have risen by 51% since the beginning of the year and by 345.4% in the last 12 months. TRX Gold Corporation: Success With Normal Effort The stock is listed on the prestigious NYSE, where its rising market value is driven by investors looking to benefit from growth with minimal effort while avoiding the complexities of direct investment in physical gold. For these investors, the formula seems simple: the price of gold rises, and given its unprecedented climb, TRX Gold Corporation’s robust profitability—much to the delight of shareholders—is within reach, thanks to a management team that is keeping the company on a winning trajectory. As long as this positive trend continues, we completely understand whether investors seek to strengthen this team even further. According to trading data from Seeking Alpha, TRX Gold's average trading volume over the past three months was 2.14 million shares as of this writing. Take a look at the “Trading Data” from S...

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Article Thesis ASML Holding N.V. ( ASML ) reported good results on Wednesday, sending its shares higher. But due to a pretty elevated valuation, I do not think that ASML is a good investment right now -- it was a much better value before the recent run-up, when it was unloved. Past Coverage I have written about ASML Holding here on Seeking Alpha in the past, most recently in October 2025 . I gave the company a Hold rating back then, after rating it a Buy before that, in July 2025 -- shares are up more than 90% since then. With the company releasing its most recent earnings results on Wednesday morning, and with my last article being from three months ago, it is time for me to update my thesis on ASML today. What Happened? On Wednesday morning, ASML Holding reported the results for its fiscal fourth quarter . The headline numbers looked like this: ASML Holding Q4 results (Seeking Alpha) While ASML did not manage to deliver a double beat, unlike in many quarters in the past, the company still delivered healthy results, with a solid revenue increase of 5%, beating estimates slightly, and a small earnings per share miss. The market reacted positively to these results and ASML's guidance, sending shares higher by around 5% at the time of writing -- I think that overall enthusiasm around chip and AI stocks plays a role here as well. After all, while results were very solid, they weren't outstanding, and ASML had already run up quite a lot prior to this earnings release, with shares almost doubling since last summer. ASML's Q4: Solid Performance Demand for Artificial Intelligence chips remains extremely strong, so it is not surprising that chip companies continue to invest in manufacturing capacity. Especially Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company ( TSM ) invests many billions of dollars to be able to produce more and more chips for Nvidia ( NVDA ), Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ), and many more -- and a significant ...

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Extreme Networks' ( EXTR ) shares had increased 3% during early market action on Wednesday after the network infrastructure company reported 14% year-over-year revenue growth in its second quarter fiscal 2026 financial results . For the quarter ended December 31, Extreme Networks reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.26 versus the consensus of $0.24. It reported GAAP EPS of $0.06 compared to the consensus of $0.04. Revenue for the quarter totaled $317.9M, which was more than the $312.3M estimate. Looking ahead, Extreme Networks projects third-quarter adjusted EPS to range from $0.23 to $0.25, with a midpoint of $0.24 just below the $0.25 consensus. The company expects revenue to range from $309M to $314M, with a midpoint of $311.5, which is above the $310M consensus. "Second quarter results exceeded our expectations for revenue and profitability, said Extreme Networks Chief Financial Officer Kevin Rhodes. "Our results highlight the leverage in our business model, where earnings growth exceeds revenue growth by 10 percentage points. We're executing well on our strategy, while navigating the current supply chain environment. We are raising our revenue outlook for fiscal '26 and continue to focus on increasing profitability." Extreme Networks also highlighted several recent customer wins with organizations including Baylor University, Barnsley College, Henry Ford Health, University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, Six Flags, and multiple NFL teams choosing Extreme's Wi-Fi 7 solutions. The company is now providing services for Groupe Jolimont, one of Belgium's leading healthcare systems; Sunis Hotels, a Turkish hospitality brand with a portfolio of coastal resorts along the Mediterranean and Aegean; and SK bioscience, a South Korean biotech company.

The Bank of Canada held interest rates steady, but officials made clear that they’re not sure about the duration of their pause, nor in which direction borrowing costs are headed. Policymakers led by Governor Tiff Macklem kept the policy rate at 2.25% for a second straight meeting on Wednesday, as widely expected by markets and a Bloomberg survey of economists. “The Canadian economy is adjusting to the structural headwinds of US protectionism,” Macklem said in prepared remarks, adding his governing council believes “elevated uncertainty makes it difficult to predict the timing or direction of the next change in the policy rate.” At the same time, officials suggested the outlook would have to change significantly to move them off the sidelines, repeating that they were “prepared to respond.” “The current policy rate remains appropriate, conditional on the economy evolving broadly in line with the outlook we published today,” Macklem said. The bank offered up new forecasts in a monetary policy report, and sees Canada’s economy growing 1.1% this year and 1.5% in 2027, “broadly in line” with its October projection. Output is expected to stall in the fourth quarter of 2025, the bank said, but the economy didn’t take as much damage from the tariff hit as was previously believed last year, with growth revised higher to 1.7%. The neutral suite of communications suggest the central bank is comfortable holding borrowing costs steady until it sees how volatile US tariff policy will evolve, and how that will impact the Canadian economy. At the same time, policymakers pushed back on expectations of a sustained pause, or even whether the bank’s next move will be a cut or a hike, citing heightened uncertainty. The upcoming US-Mexico-Canada Agreement review is a key risk to the outlook, the bank said. “US trade policy remains unpredictable, and geopolitical risks are elevated,” Macklem said, adding that it’s “too early to tell how well the Canadian economy will adjust to current ta...

AP Chanel/E+ via Getty Images Investment thesis It's time to take stock of another successful investment idea of mine – after my recommendation to buy Comfort Systems ( FIX ) shares, they increased by 60% in less than six months. I really like the company's business and its financial results are impressive – the last quarter is no exception. But at the moment, the stock is heavily overbought, in my opinion. Multiplier premiums reach 100% relative to the sector averages and the company's historical averages. At this price, there is no way I can recommend buying shares to my subscribers and readers of Seeking Alpha. Severe overheating in stocks will sooner or later lead to a major correction, and it is at this point that interested investors will have a chance to purchase shares at a more or less adequate price. My financial model estimates the fair value of a stock at 13% below its current market price. I am changing the Buy rating to Hold and recommend that investors wait for a correction before buying Comfort Systems shares. Exceptional Organic Growth and Cost Discipline Fuel Q3 Beat The financial statements for the fourth quarter will be released in 2-3 weeks, so it is important to analyze the latest financial results, draw conclusions about Q3 and formulate a forecast for Q4 results. This will allow us to form adequate expectations for the last quarter in 2025. Investor Presentation Q3 turned out to be very successful in terms of quarterly results. The growth occurred in almost all financial indicators. Revenue significantly exceeded management's expectations and consensus forecasts. Wall-Street expected the company to earn about $2.16 billion in the quarter, while the actual result was 13.5% higher, or $2.45 billion (+35% yoy). Here, I consider it important to emphasize that despite active M&A transactions, the main contribution to revenue growth was organic growth – approximately 33.3% of the increase was provided by existing divisions and only 1.9% due to purc...

Our investment approach focuses on companies we believe have above-average earnings- growth potential with a sustainable business model, for which the market has mispriced the rate and/or durability of growth. In particular, we look for events that might provide a business catalyst – such as product cycles, a change in management and turnaround situations – that could add to a stock's true value. We believe choosing companies with a competitive advantage, pricing power and a strong management team will deliver superior earnings in the long term.

If you are looking for reliable income stocks, these two energy giants stand head and shoulders above the rest. It might sound odd to put the words "energy stocks" and "reliable dividends" in the same sentence. After all, the energy sector is known for being highly volatile thanks to the top- and bottom-line impact of highly volatile oil and natural gas prices. However, ExxonMobil (XOM +0.29%) and Chevron (CVX +0.62%) have both proven that they know how to navigate the energy commodity cycle while still rewarding investors with reliable dividend growth. If you have $500 available to invest that isn't needed for monthly bills or to pay down short-term debt, these two energy-focused dividend stocks might make great stock buys. Here's what you need to know. What do Exxon and Chevron do? Exxon and Chevron are both integrated energy companies. That means they operate in the upstream (energy production), midstream (pipelines), and downstream (chemicals and refining) segments of the broader energy industry. Each segment of the industry performs differently through the energy cycle, helping soften the impact of swings in oil and natural gas prices. The big highlight of their ability to handle the ups and downs in commodity prices is their respective dividend streaks. ExxonMobil has increased its dividend annually for more than 40 years. Chevron's streak is well over 30 years. Those are incredible results -- peers Shell, BP, and TotalEnergies don't come close to that level of consistency. In fact, BP and Shell both cut their dividend in 2020.

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. After SoftBank's big AI push late last year, it may be back for more. The group is in active discussions to invest up to $30 billion more in OpenAI, according to reports published today. The move would form part of a broader $100 billion funding round aimed at strengthening the ChatGPT creator's market position. If successful, the round could propel OpenAI's valuation to approximately $830 billion. OpenAI is also in talks with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) about participating in the funding round. OpenAI said its annualised revenue surpassed $20 billion last year, but the company continues to run at a loss due to the high cost of training and operating its models. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), OpenAI's key strategic partner, remains a major compute and distribution channel through Azure and Azure OpenAI Service. The Japanese conglomerate already controls roughly 11% of OpenAI after completing a $41 billion investment in December 2025. While the deal is still in the negotiation phase and final terms may shift, the proposal highlights SoftBank's view that much of the long-term value in AI will sit in the software layer. SoftBank has also sold its entire stake in Nvidia for $5.8 billion to drive funding for its bets on OpenAI. Investors reacted favorably to the news, sending SoftBank Group Corp. shares up 3.70%.

Samsung today previewed a privacy feature that will prevent others from peeking at your phone screen and viewing its content. While the company didn’t provide specifics about the technology, it said that Galaxy smartphone owners will be able to control what others around them can see on their phone, based on the privacy protection they need. The Korean tech company said that users will be able to customize this feature to work with specific apps or while entering passcodes, PINs, patterns, or passwords, with multiple settings for adjusting visibility of on-screen content. The feature is likely to launch with the company’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra. “Our phones are our most personal space, but we use them in the least private places…That’s why Samsung will soon unveil a new layer of privacy to shield your phone from shoulder surfing wherever you go. You’ll have the space to check your messages or enter a password on public transit without thinking twice about who might be watching,” the company noted in a newsroom announcement. The company added that you will also be able to hide certain parts of the phone from onlookers, such as the notification pop-up area. Samsung said that it is using a mix of hardware and software to achieve its results. An online tipster who goes by the name of Ice Universe posted screenshots on X about the feature, showing how the notification area blanks out at an angle. That means smartphone owners will be able to see the content, but someone sitting next to them might not be able to. If the feature works, people may no longer need to buy separate privacy guard protectors. Techcrunch event Disrupt 2026 Tickets: One-time offer Tickets are live!
