Spain’s government announced on Tuesday it will grant legal status to potentially hundreds of thousands of immigrants living and working in the country without authorisation, the latest example of how the country has bucked a trend towards increasingly harsh immigration policies championed by US President Donald Trump and seen across much of Europe. Migration Minister Elma Saiz said the beneficiaries would be able to work “in any sector, in any part of the country”, and extolled “the positive impact” of migration. “We are talking about estimations, probably more or less the figures may be around half a million people,” she told public broadcaster RTVE. Advertisement However, the Funcas think-tank estimates the number is higher, stating that around 840,000 undocumented migrants lived in Spain at the beginning of January 2025, most of them Latin American. The new rules The measure will affect those living in Spain for at least five months and who applied for international protection before December 31, 2025.

(RTTNews) - After ending the previous session mostly higher, stocks may see further upside in early trading on Tuesday. The major index futures are currently pointing to a higher open for the markets, with the S&P 500 futures up by 0.3 percent. Tech stocks may help to lead an early advance on Wall Street, as reflected by the 0.6 percent increase by the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 futures. Traders remain optimistic ahead of the release of earnings news from big-name tech companies like Apple (AAPL), Meta Platforms (META) and Microsoft (MSFT). Shares of Apple are jumping by 1.6 percent in pre-market trading after surging by 3.0 percent on Monday, while Meta and Microsoft may also see further upside after moving notably higher in the previous session. Positive sentiment may also be generated in reaction to upbeat earnings news from big-name companies like General Motors (GM) and UPS (UPS). On the other hand, a slump by shares of UnitedHealth (UNH) is likely to weigh on the Dow, with the health insurance giant plunging by 15.7 percent in pre-market trading. The steep drop by UnitedHealth comes after the company reported slightly better than expected fourth quarter earnings but provided disappointing revenue guidance. A Trump administration proposal calling for nearly flat rates for Medicare Advantage insurers is also likely to weigh on insurance stocks. Not long the start of trading, the Conference Board is scheduled to release its report on consumer confidence in the month of January. The consumer confidence index is expected to rise to 90.0 in January after falling to 89.1 in December. Following the mixed performance seen during last Friday's session, stocks moved mostly higher during trading on Monday. With the upward move, the major averages further offset the steep drop seen last Tuesday. The major averages moved to the downside going into the end of the day but remained in positive territory. The Dow advanced 313.69 points or 0.6 percent to 49,412.40, the Nasdaq rose 10...

rypson Weighed down by increased operating costs and lower capacity, JetBlue ( JBLU ) reported a wider-than-expected loss in the fourth quarter, reflecting “macroeconomic uncertainty” that impeded the company’s return to profitability in 2025. The combination of a 2% decline in total revenue and 6.7% increase in operating expenses per available seat mile, excluding fuel, resulted in an adjusted loss of $0.49 per share, more than doubling from a year ago and missing expectations for a loss of $0.46 per share. At the same time, increased revenue from ancillary sources and its loyalty program helped offset declining passenger revenue per available seat mile and capacity, resulting in a more modest decline in revenue than analysts expected. For FY26, JetBlue ( JBLU ) expects progress on its JetForward initiative to lead to improved profitability. “We are returning to growth, our JetForward initiatives are ramping with more to come this year, and our cost growth is low - all supporting a path to breakeven or better operating profitability," said JetBlue CFO Ursula Hurley. For the current quarter, JetBlue ( JBLU ) expects capacity to increase by 0.5% to 3.5% and revenue per available seat mile to remain unchanged to up 4.0%. For FY26, the company projects capacity growth of 2.5% to 4.5% and RASM of up 2.0% to up 5.0%. Regarding expenses, costs per available seat mile excluding fuel, or CASM-ex fuel, are expected to increase by 3.5% to 5.5% in the first quarter and by 1.0% to 3.0% for the full year. Adjusted operating margin in FY26 is forecasted to breakeven or better. JetBlue ( JBLU ) shares are down close to 6% before Tuesday’s opening bell, setting the stock up for a fourth straight day in the red.

HCA Healthcare Inc. shares gained after the hospital operator’s better-than-expected guidance eased investor concerns about expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies . The Nashville-based company sees adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of about $16 billion this year at the midpoint of its guidance. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had projected $15.8 billion on average. “We are pleasantly surprised by the outlook,” wrote RBC Capital Markets analyst Ben Hendrix in a note. Some investors had been concerned that expiring tax credits for ACA health insurance would drag on the company’s guidance, he said. HCA shares rose as much as 8.4% in early trading in New York. The stock had rallied 56% last year, outperforming a 16% gain in the S&P 500 Index.

LarisaBlinova/iStock via Getty Images Without a doubt, the restaurant sector has been one of the most volatile industries in 2025, and in my view, the tumult is likely to continue well into 2026 as restaurants are forced to rethink their business models in an era where low-cost labor rates are skyrocketing and consumer demand for eating out is feeble. CAVA ( CAVA ), the Mediterranean bowl chain, is one of the companies that has faced the harshest reckonings. A sharp deceleration in same-store sales growth decimated CAVA's stock after its Q3 earnings print in early November. Still, the stock is regaining momentum as a former Wall Street darling; since bottoming near $44 in November, shares of CAVA have now rallied ~50% to the mid-$60s. Now, the stock is down "only" ~50% over the past year. The question for investors now is: is the bad news already priced in, or is this rally a head fake? Data by YCharts I last wrote a buy article on CAVA in late November, when the stock was trading in the high $40s. At the time, I noted that the selloff likely overlooked CAVA's growing fan base, its innovative and appealing loyalty program, and its substantial white space for new location expansion within the U.S. All of that was relative to a more modest valuation, however. In the $60s, I see far more risk for CAVA, and I am not keen to take a further bet on this stock especially as it grapples with its core struggle: a weakened consumer economy, and changing consumer perceptions of value when it comes to lunch bowls. Given the sharp rebound rally in CAVA stock (that has now taken the stock above where it was before reporting its disastrous Q3 earnings), I'm downgrading CAVA to a sell rating. To me, the stock is set up for another post-earnings disappointment. Valuation multiples have reached speculative levels again Let's get one thing out of the way: I actually think CAVA is a fantastic company, and I'm both a fan of its fundamentals, its growth opportunities, as well as its food ...

Sirius XM exceeded its initial financial targets for the year, but continued subscriber and revenue declines weighed on shares. Shares of satellite radio company Sirius XM Holding (SIRI 0.37%) fell 12.3% in 2025, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. While not catastrophic, the decline did trail the S&P 500 index's 17.9% total return by about 30 percentage points. Sirius' underperformance is notable, especially since it's a significant holding of Warren Buffett's conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A +0.69%) (BRK.B +0.94%), and is probably a holding managed by Ted Wechsler, who is also likely to manage the entire Berkshire public equity portfolio following Warren Buffett's retirement. Sirius's business performed somewhat better than expected in 2025, with revenue and profits meeting or exceeding the company's initial guidance. However, continued subscriber and revenue declines put investors in a sour mood.

The good news for shareholders is that, as of Sirius's third quarter earnings report, management had raised that outlook to revenue of $8.525 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $2.625 billion, and free cash flow of $1.225 billion. Given the slight outperformance, some may wonder why the stock declined during the year. It appears investors are still scared off by continued subscriber and revenue declines, as even Sirius's improved targets would mark revenue and adjusted EBITDA declines from 2024. Self-pay subscribers declined from...

Kirpal Kooner/iStock via Getty Images Introduction Builders FirstSource ( BLDR ), which is headquartered in Irving Texas, and been around for close to 26 years now, is a industrials enterprise noted for providing various structural building products, manufactured components, and value-added construction services. To get a better sense of BLDR’s broad product portfolio (which appears to be quite well balanced), investors can peruse the image below. Corporate Presentation-Oct 2025 BLDR sells these products to a plethora of professional homebuilders (also includes some of the largest homebuilders namely D.R. Horton, Lennar Corporation, Pulte Group, Toll Brothers, etc.) contractors and remodelers in 585 locations across 43 states in the US. While BLDR caters to both the single-family homebuilders as well as muti-family builders, note that over 70% of its sales comes from the former cohort. Notwithstanding BLDR’s status in these markets, the stock’s reputation in the financial markets has taken a beating over the past year. While other businesses involved in the building and construction space have surged by over 22%, and homebuilders too have managed to remain flat, BLDR has lost over one-fourth of its market-cap during the past year. YCharts So why isn’t the force with BLDR, and is there scope for a revival any time soon? Read on to find out. What’s Behing BLDR’s Slump? For starters, for the market to warm up to BLDR, one is going to need to see some signs of topline stabilization (if not growth), and that hasn’t happened for a long time now, and isn’t likely to happen any time soon. To elaborate over the last 11 quarters, BLDR has only ever posted marginal topline growth in 1 quarter (Q1-24 where it grew by 0.2% YoY), and over the next three quarters (including Q4-25 which is yet to be published), BLDR will see revenue contract in every single quarter. Growth, if any, is only expected to take place in Q3-26. Seeking Alpha One could also argue that BLDR’s core organic ...

MarianVejcik/iStock via Getty Images The REIT market ( VNQ ) has the tendency to overreact both ways: to the upside when things are going well and to the downside when things are looking dour. This happens because most investors are excessively focused on short-term results. All they care about is the next year or two. Therefore, if a REIT is enjoying rapid rent growth, it will richly value it as if its strong growth would continue forever. But the opposite is also true. When a REIT faces temporary headwinds that cause its cash flow to decline, the market will often reprice that REIT as if its end was near. Investors are simply too quick to extrapolate recent trends far into the future when, in reality, fundamentals change constantly. As an example, a property sector may be oversupplied today but become undersupplied just a few years later as developers get hurt, scale back projects, and the demand catches up. The same is also true in reverse. Therefore, if you want to earn big bucks in REIT investing, you need to often take the contrarian view and invest in REITs facing temporary headwinds that are depressing their valuations. The keyword here is temporary; as if the headwinds are permanent , you may end up stuck with a value trap. This also means that you may want to avoid the REIT market favorites. Those that are today richly valued because they are enjoying rapid growth. The high valuations make them risky, as good times never last forever, and all it takes is a setback in growth for such REITs to crash in value. In what follows, I am going to give you an example of that with one popular REIT to sell and one hated REIT to buy. Welltower Inc. ( WELL ) Welltower is doing exceptionally well at the moment. Senior housing is severely undersupplied even as the population keeps aging at a rapid pace, resulting in strong demand growth: Welltower The relative lack of new supply, coupled with the growing demand, is today resulting in rising occupancy rates and rents.

Europe’s supermarket shelves are packed with brands billing their plastic packaging as sustainable, but often only a fraction of the materials are truly recovered from waste, with the rest made from petroleum. Brands using plastic packaging – from Kraft’s Heinz Beanz to Mondelez’s Philadelphia – use materials made by the plastic manufacturing arm of the oil company Saudi Aramco. The Saudi state-owned holding opposes production cuts under the UN plastic treaty and is the world’s largest corporate greenhouse-gas emitter (over 70m tonnes up to 2023). Aramco’s petrochemical subsidiary, Sabic, along with other major players, devised a successful way to rebrand their harmful business as “planet saver.” They label plastic as “circular” and climate-friendly, although in practice it remains almost entirely fossil-based, exacerbating global warming and the plastic crisis. Under industry pressure, Europe is on track to legalise this practice, which independent experts have described as greenwashing, with lax EU rules set to take effect in 2026 and similar UK regulations to be enforced as of 2027. To promote so-called sustainable plastic, the petrochemical industry is pushing pyrolysis, the most common type of chemical recycling. This highly energy- and carbon-intensive process converts plastic waste into recycled feedstock: pyrolysis oil. This hazardous compound, however, can make up at most 5% of total feedstock and must be diluted with 95% virgin naphtha to avoid damaging the steam-cracking plants that turn the input into new plastic. “The whole process is labelled as plastic recycling, while fossil fuel use expands because virgin feedstock must be added,” said Helmut Maurer, former senior expert in the environment department of the European Commission. To present appealing figures of high recycling rates and low emissions for brands eager to attract customers, the industry relies on two controversial but lawful accounting tricks. “Mass-balance bookkeeping” attributes the re...
