Bloomberg | Bloomberg | Getty Images Fears of a corporate exodus from New York City are likely to be a recurring feature of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's term, with each business real estate decision magnified as a potential tipping point signal that the Democratic Socialist's tax, real estate and wealth policies are pushing businesses away. The debate was amplified last week amid reports that private equity giant Apollo Global Management was planning to add a second headquarters outside New York City, in a southern U.S. state like Florida or Texas. Since being elected, Mamdani's administration has said it will look at every viable option to help raise revenue and fill a $5.4 billion budget deficit for the city, but his preference has not changed from what he ran on: "tax the rich." That has resulted in a political standoff with New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, who facing her own reelection campaign, has said she will not approve increased taxes on corporations and the wealthy. "It's a fragile environment today and we should be careful with this budget," said Steven Fulop , Partnership for New York City president and CEO, on CNBC's "Squawk Box" Monday. His group represents corporate, investment, and entrepreneurial firms. In an op-ed he co-authored last week , Fulop warned that any plan to tax the rich and businesses will ripple through the cost equation for every New Yorker. "With New Yorkers already leaving the state in search of a lower cost of living, further raising prices could send even more folks packing and undermine the state's long-term economic growth," he argued in the Newsday piece. "Large companies [are] certainly exploring other options: cheaper labor costs, lower taxes, less political uncertainty," Vikram Malhotra, managing director, ...

Alex Wong/Getty Images News U.S. President Donald Trump is weighing a dramatic escalation in the standoff with Iran, including the potential seizure of the country’s oil resources, while simultaneously expressing confidence that a diplomatic breakthrough could come within days, according to remarks relayed in a televised report Sunday. In a telephone interview with Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst , Trump said negotiations with Iranian officials remain active but warned of severe consequences if Tehran fails to reach a “good-faith” agreement quickly. “If they don’t make a deal and fast,” Trump said, he is “considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil,” according to Yingst’s account of the conversation. Threats to infrastructure accompany diplomatic push The president’s comments suggest a dual-track strategy: continued negotiations paired with escalating military pressure. Trump indicated that Iranian infrastructure could become a target if talks stall, describing potential strikes on bridges and power plants across the country. At the same time, he struck a more optimistic tone about diplomacy, telling Yingst there is “a good chance” of reaching an agreement as soon as the next day, with negotiations ongoing. The talks reportedly include provisions tied to regional security, including ensuring open passage through the Strait of Hormuz , a critical artery for global oil shipments that Iran has previously threatened to disrupt. Claims of covert support for Iranian protesters In a separate and potentially controversial disclosure, Trump told the reporter that the United States had attempted to arm Iranian protesters earlier this year during a period of unrest. According to Yingst, the president said weapons were sent “through the Kurds,” though he suggested some of those arms may not have reached their intended recipients. The claims come amid reports of widespread violence during demonstrations in Iran, with Trump alleging that tens of thousands of civi...

DOE FY27 Budget Requests $45 Billion in Nuclear Funding The White House fiscal year 2027 budget proposal has requested almost $54 billion for the Department of Energy in fiscal year 2027, with almost 80% of that funding going towards nuclear energy and nuclear deterrent programs . The funding request represents a nearly $5 billion increase from 2026 levels. Outside of the $32.8 billion in funding requested for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), the Trump admin cites a $2.7 billion reduction in funding requests achieved by “slashing Green New Scam initiatives and rooting out woke diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs ”. The NNSA receives a $3.6 billion (12%) increase from the prior year. The request supports warhead modernization, infrastructure recapitalization, life-extension programs, next-generation naval reactor technology, and nuclear emergency response teams. These defense nuclear activities also advance high-assay low-enriched uranium ((HALEU) production with direct benefits for commercial reactor fuel supply chains. Environmental Management is funded at $8.2 billion, down $386 million from the enacted level. The program addresses legacy radioactive waste and contamination at former Manhattan Project and Cold War weapons sites . Approximately $3 billion targets the Hanford site in Washington state for continued operation of the Direct Feed Low-Activity Waste Facility and other near-term cleanup milestones. The initiatives reduce long-term federal liability and clear land for potential future nuclear or industrial reuse. The budget makes a specific call out for an additional $3.5 billion to “rapidly deploy firm baseload power ”. No further explanations are given for what exactly is covered under this initiative, but it is assumed to be a combination of nuclear energy and geothermal power-related programs . The DOE and its various offices have issued multiple award programs to kickstart the expansion of two of the current administrat...

hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Foxconn ( HNHAF ) ( HNHPF ) ( FXCOF ) reported a sharp rise in first-quarter revenue, driven by strong demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure, while warning that geopolitical uncertainty could cloud the outlook. The company, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry , said revenue climbed nearly 30% from a year earlier to about T$2.13 trillion ($66.6 billion). The result was slightly below analyst expectations. Growth was led by its cloud and networking division, which benefited from booming demand for AI servers tied to clients such as Nvidia . Its consumer electronics segment, including iPhone assembly for Apple , also posted solid gains following new product launches. March alone set a record for the month, with revenue surging more than 45% year over year. Foxconn said it expects continued expansion in the current quarter, with AI-related products remaining a key growth driver. However, the company cautioned that “it remains necessary to monitor the impact of the volatile global political and economic situation.” Chairman Young Liu has previously pointed to geopolitical risks, including conflict in the Middle East, as a major external challenge this year. Despite the strong revenue performance, Foxconn’s shares have fallen about 16% this year, lagging the broader Taiwan market. The company is scheduled to report full quarterly earnings in mid-May.

jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images UnitedHealth: 2026 Should Be the Reset Year Is the worst really over for investors of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated ( UNH )? At this point, UNH has become a true battleground stock in the healthcare sector. The integrated healthcare leader is coming under such immense pressure across its business segments. And visibility remains relatively limited at this point. Regulatory challenges continue to hamper any sort of near-term catalysts to drive a more sustained rebound. Therefore, it is likely to limit any aggressive buying accumulation in the next few months, or at least until UNH reports more constructive earnings for H1 of 2026. Although I'm somewhat ambivalent about whether we will get enough information from Q1 to show us that the recovery initiatives are indeed panning out. Plus, based on a recent UnitedHealth management conference in March, I think the key takeaways are that it's still far too early for the company to provide us the key insights that we need, indicating that 2026 should still be a reset year to ruminate on. In late January, I decided to stay put with my Buy rating on UNH . While I noted that sentiments were decidedly fragile, I was confident that the market had already priced in substantive policy risks into its valuation. UnitedHealth: Earnings Prospects Should Improve From Here After all, Wall Street doesn't expect things to get worse from UNH's earnings perspective. I think its dominant position in the Medicare Advantage market should help it adjust its pricing levels to be more attuned to the changes in the CMS reimbursement rates. So it could still make alterations to its coverage levels and benefits schedule. Also, the company could still exit markets that may no longer make much sense in the current environment where the market is no longer pricing it for growth against peers. In other words, right now expectations are so low, I believe the market is looking at management executing a cohes...
