It was a question most assuredly in keeping with the overall craziness of the situation. Tottenham: 14th in the Premier League, with two wins out of 14 some of their fans beginning to fret about relegation. Also out of both domestic cups. Tottenham: the fourth best team in Europe after the conclusion of the league phase of the Champions League. On a fast-track to the last 16. So, of course, it was put to João Palhinha as he left the stadium after Spurs’s convincing 2-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night. Can Spurs win the Champions League? The midfielder’s response was to chuckle. And then laugh a little more. “I know what you want to hear from me,” he said. The Spurs support already call themselves “the champions of Europe” after their Europa League triumph last season. That had come out of the ashes of a disastrous Premier League campaign. Could history be about to repeat itself on an even grander scale? Palhinha was never going to offer any cheap headlines. “It’s not about winning the Champions League,” he said. “In life, it needs to be with steps. The main thing is we did our qualification responsibly with a lot of respect and we deserve to complete this qualification. The focus right now will be on the Premier League.” The 30-year-old wanted respect for his hustle and that of his teammates. The Spurs manager, Thomas Frank, had been able to call on only 11 established outfield players against Eintracht in the face of an injury and eligibility crisis. Palhinha filled in at right centre-half as Frank stuck with his 3-4-2-1 system and the performance was energetic and controlled, heavy on front-footed menace. What Palhinha and everybody connected to Spurs really want is for it to be the platform for better form in the league: a turning point. Perhaps – and he did not say this – there can be a truce between the fans and Frank because the current state of affairs is dragging the club down, the one in which unhappiness with him and his methods bubbles furio...

US stocks opened Thursday on mixed footing as investors digested the latest megacap tech earnings ahead of Apple's report, while gold (GC=F) and oil (BZ=F) rallied amid fears of US military strikes on Iran. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) picked up roughly 0.1%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) moved the other way to shed roughly 0.5%. The blue chip-heavy Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose 0.3% following Wednesday's muted performance. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) is trying to again top 7,000 as Meta (META) shares surged over 9% early in the session, thanks to a surprisingly strong quarterly revenue outlook. The first of the "Magnificent Seven" megacaps to report earnings also plans to spend up to $135 billion on its data center build-out this year, a boost to its push to win the AI race. While that AI ambition was welcomed, Microsoft (MSFT) stock slid over 10% despite its higher-than-anticipated capital spending as investors reacted to a slowdown in quarterly cloud sales growth. Meanwhile, Tesla (TSLA) flipped to a loss at the open, as a strategy shift from EVs to robots and a quarterly earnings beat came with its first-ever decline in annual revenue. Investors are now gearing up for Apple’s (AAPL) quarterly earnings, due after the closing bell. The tech moves took focus amid an escalation in US-Iran tensions, stoked by President Trump's warning to Iran that it must agree to a nuclear deal quickly or be hit with military strikes. Crude oil futures climbed to build on Tuesday's four-month high as US ships massed in the region. Gold surged, briefly topping a record $5,500 an ounce, as a declining dollar (DX-Y.NYB) added to the rush for shelter. Wall Street is also digesting the Federal Reserve's first monetary policy decision of 2026, in which it kept interest rates unchanged. Eyes are on updates on weekly jobless claims, durable goods orders, and wholesale inventory figures on Thursday for clues to the economy to feed policy expectations. Markets are pricing in two qua...

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) Q4 2025 Earnings Call Transcript January 28, 2026 Tesla, Inc. beats earnings expectations. Reported EPS is $0.5, expectations were $0.4512. Travis Axelrod: Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to Tesla’s fourth quarter 2025 Q&A webcast. My name is Travis Axelrod of Investor Relations. I am joined today by Elon Musk, Vaibhav Taneja, and a number of other executives. Our Q4 results were announced at about 3 PM Central time in the update deck we published at the same link as this webcast. During this call, we will discuss our business outlook and make forward-looking statements. These comments are based on our predictions and expectations as of today. Actual events or results could differ materially due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those mentioned in our most recent filings with the SEC. During the question and answer portion of today’s call, please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up. Please use the raise hand button to join the question queue. Before we jump into Q&A, Elon has some opening remarks. Elon? Elon Musk: Thanks, Travis. So I have updated the Tesla mission to amazing abundance, and this is intended to send a message of optimism about the future. I think we are most likely headed to an exciting, amazing era of abundance. I think with the advent or continued growth of AI and robotics, I think we actually are headed to a future of universal income, not universal basic income, but universal high income. There is going to be a lot of change along the way, but that is what I see as the most likely outcome. So I think it makes sense to update Tesla’s mission to reflect that goal. Obviously, along that way, we are going to keep improving safety, driving down the cost of goods, and getting people access to anything they need without compromise. Making sure that the environment is great, nature is great, and people can have whatever they want, which seems like probably the best future. Open to other ideas, ...

The most talked about and market moving research calls around Wall Street are now in one place. Here are today's research calls that investors need to know, as compiled by The Fly. Top 5 Upgrades: Barclays upgraded Zillow Group (ZG) to Equal Weight from Underweight with a price target of $72, up from $66. The firm believes a lot of downside risks are priced into shares. Rosenblatt upgraded Fortinet (FTNT) to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $100, up from $85, ahead of the Q4 report on February 5.

Benchmark upgraded Littelfuse (LFUS) to Buy from Hold with a $360 price target. Following a "strong" Q4 report and upbeat outlook as the demand backdrop expands across the business, the firm notes that much of its prior concerns over visibility and persistent inventory burn are subsiding. Morgan Stanley upgraded Cencora (COR) to Overweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $400, up from $361.

Investing.com -- Tesla’s fourth-quarter update offered stronger margins and cash generation, but Jefferies said the real story was an earnings call that ranked as the company’s “most interesting” in many quarters, driven by sweeping investment plans and major strategic pivots. Jefferies analyst Houchois highlighted that Tesla delivered a “healthy beat on core auto margin and cash,” with group gross profit of $5 billion and a 20.1% margin, far above consensus. Auto margins also improved, rising to 17.9%, the best since late 2023, helped by lower vehicle costs and a favorable regional mix. Free cash flow came in at $1.42 billion, with Tesla’s cash pile growing to $44.1 billion. But Houchois said the outlook was “vague and low in numbers,” overshadowed by what it called a “whopping $20bn capex for 2026 and beyond” across six business areas, including new battery capacity, AI infrastructure, Cybercab, the Semitruck and Optimus. The firm warned that “multiple launch milestones [are] likely to be missed,” risking pressure on earnings, and noted that “funding may become a topic despite a $44bn cash pile.” The call is also said to have revealed Tesla will discontinue the Model X in the second quarter to redirect resources toward Optimus production and next-generation autonomous offerings. Jefferies stated Musk’s renewed focus on robotaxis and Mobility-as-a-Service left timelines “vague,” including his assertion that one-quarter to one-half of the U.S. could be robotaxi-covered by year-end, “depending on permitting.” Houchois added that Tesla’s investment in xAI may signal that meeting Musk’s “supercompensation targets may rely on Musk-related corporate deals,” raising questions about governance and valuation.

The stock sank after Intel issued lackluster Q1 guidance. After a hot start to 2026, shares of Intel (INTC 1.80%) plunged on news that the semiconductor company issued weak guidance in its latest earnings report. The stock is still trading up around 19% in 2026 and has more than doubled over the past year, as of this writing. Let's take a closer look at its earnings report and prospects to see if long-term investors should consider buying this recent dip. Looking for a turnaround For its fourth quarter, Intel once again struggled with both revenue growth and weak gross margins. Its Q4 revenue fell 4% year over year from $14.3 billion to $13.7 billion. Its product revenue edged down 1% to $12.9 billion. Within product revenue, its client computing group (CCG) product revenue dropped 7% year over year to $8.2 billion, while data center and AI (DCAI) product revenue climbed 9% to $4.7 billion. Its foundry business, meanwhile, saw revenue rise 4% to $4.5 billion. However, the segment continues to post large losses, with an operating loss of $2.5 billion in the quarter and $10.3 billion for the year. Revenue from Intel's other businesses sank 48% year over year to $0.6 billion, largely due to the sale of 51% of its Altera subsidiary. Intel Segment Q4 Revenue Q4 Revenue Growth (YOY) Product (CCG & DCAI) $12.9 billion (1%) CCG $8.2 billion (7%) DCAI $4.7 billion 9% Foundry $4.5 billion 4% Other (subsidiaries) $0.6 billion (48%) Gross margin remained under pressure, dropping by 310 basis points from 39.2% to 36.1%, while adjusted gross margins sank 420 basis points to 37.9%. Looking ahead, the company projected Q1 revenue to be between $11.7 billion and $12.7 billion with breakeven adjusted EPS. The $12.2 billion revenue midpoint and EPS were below the $0.05 in EPS and $12.5 billion in sales that analysts were expecting, according to LSEG. Adjusted gross margins were projected to remain weak, coming in around 34.5%. The company cited supply constraints for its light forecas...

Anyone interested in this leading sportswear business must pay attention to these data points. Any investor who even remotely follows the business knows that Nike (NKE 1.01%) is not even close to operating at its best right now. While it's still a leader in the global sportswear market, the company made some notable mistakes in recent years. Nike is working to fix things, but shares have gotten hammered. They are trading 63% below their peak (as of Jan. 23). This is an interesting business to pay attention to. Here are three metrics that investors in this consumer discretionary stock need to know about. 1. Revenue growth From fiscal 2019 to fiscal 2024, Nike's revenue increased at a solid compound annual rate of 6%. In fiscal 2025 (ended May 31), the top line decreased 10% year over year. It appears as though the situation has stabilized, however. Analysts expect sales to rise 1% in fiscal 2026. Investors must keep tabs on this metric, as it is the best indicator of demand trends. While no rival comes close to Nike's sizable revenue base, the business has struggled to get back to healthy growth. It's trying to get better at product innovation, which can support consumer interest. North America, where sales climbed 9% in second-quarter 2026 (ended Nov. 30), is in a much better position than the Greater China segment. Sales here fell an alarming 17% last quarter. 2. Gross margin Another critical data point is gross margin, which compressed from 43.6% in Q2 2025 to 40.6% in the most recent quarter. Like many other physical goods businesses, this one is dealing with higher expenses due to trade policy changes. On an annualized basis, tariffs are adding an incremental $1.5 billion to Nike's product costs. The gross margin is also affected by pricing trends. The good news is that the company is moving away from excessive discounts and promotional activity. As mentioned, refreshing the product line-up is key. However, it's also important that the leadership team correctly ...

Brent Surges To 4 Month High Above $70 After Trump Threatens Iran With Military Force By Charles Kennedy of OilPrice.com Brent Crude prices topped $70 per barrel - and $71 shortly after - early on Thursday for the first time since September, as U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran that a “massive armada” of U.S. Navy ships is headed to the Persian Gulf. At the time of writing, Brent Crude prices had jumped by 3.38% at $70.71. This was the highest in more than five months and the first time the international benchmark has topped $70 per barrel since early August. The U.S. benchmark, WTI Crude, was also trading higher, up by 3.51% to $65.43. WTI topped $65 per barrel for the first time since September. After a week or so of relative calmness in the U.S. rhetoric toward Iran, which continued to brutally suppress mass protests, President Trump warned the Islamic Republic of a Venezuela-style “mission,” at least this is what the President suggested in a post on his Truth Social platform. “A massive Armada is heading to Iran. It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose,” President Trump posted. “It is a larger fleet, headed by the great Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln, than that sent to Venezuela. Like with Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary,” the President continued. He urged Iran “to make a deal” pledging “NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS,” otherwise, President Trump said, “The next attack will be far worse! Don’t make that happen again.” Markets reacted to the renewed tension in the world’s most important oil-producing and exporting region, and oil and gold soared. Iran, for its part, said that its army is ready to “immediately and powerfully” respond to any possible attack by the United States. “Our brave Armed Forces are prepared—with their fingers on the trigger—to immediately and powerfully respond to ANY aggression against our beloved land, air, and sea,” Iran’s Foreign Ministe...

Chinese President Xi Jinping received a unique gift from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Beijing on Thursday: the official match ball from Sunday’s fixture between Manchester United and Arsenal, according to media reports. Starmer is on an official visit to China , the first by a British leader since 2018. While Starmer is an ardent Arsenal fan, Xi is reportedly a supporter of Manchester United. Advertisement Manchester United secured a 3-2 victory in a tightly contested match. By offering the gift involving two of the English Premier League’s most celebrated teams, Starmer’s gesture appeared meant to warm up Sino-British ties that have been fraught with complexity Xi is widely understood to be a football enthusiast, prompting some world leaders to try their hand at “football diplomacy” to find common ground with the Chinese president. This was not the first time the Premier League has played a role in the bilateral relationship.
