JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Sherwin-Williams ( SHW ) stock was little changed in premarket trading Thursday after the maker of paints and coatings reported fourth-quarter results that beat Wall Street estimates. Net sales rose 5.6% to $5.60 billion, above the consensus estimate of $5.57 billion. Earnings adjusted for one-time items of $2.23 a share were ahead of the analyst average estimate of $2.16 a share. Net income rose to $639.0 million, or $1.92 a share, from $615.6 million, or $1.90 a share. Paint stores group lifts quarterly results Sherwin-Williams ( SHW ) said growth in the quarter was driven by higher net sales across all segments, including contributions from the Suvinil acquisition. Its paint stores group posted net sales of $3.13 billion, up 2.7% from a year earlier, with segment profit rising 7.1% to $649.5 million. Selling price increases supported results in professional customer end markets, including protective and marine, residential repaint and commercial, while sales volumes declined modestly. Consumer brands group sales rose 24.5% to $824.7 million, largely reflecting the Suvinil acquisition, though segment profit declined due to restructuring costs. Performance coatings group sales increased 3.3% to $1.64 billion, led by packaging and automotive refinish demand. Adjusted earnings grow despite softer demand Sherwin-Williams ( SHW ) said income before income taxes increased 3.8% to $639.0 million, though results reflected higher investments in growth initiatives, acquisition-related costs and restructuring expenses. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization improved by a low-teens percentage in the quarter, the company said. Ebitda growth was supported by higher sales and cost controls, partly offset by acquisition-related amortization and restructuring charges. “Sherwin-Williams delivered strong fourth quarter results driven by solid core performance amid continued demand choppiness,” Chair, Presid...

Analysts can't agree on where the AI bellwether will be a year from today. I'm betting on the over. Analyst opinions on Nvidia (NVDA +1.67%) are like noses, and not just because everybody has one. Sometimes they run. Sometimes they're stuffy. Sometimes they just need to breathe. There are dozens of Wall Street pros following the country's most valuable company by market cap. Their near-term price targets are everywhere, like noses, I guess. Let's see what these analysts are banking on in terms of price targets. Then, let's pivot to why these near-term opinions might not matter. The price is right How high or low do analysts think Nvidia could go in the next 12 months? Equity research firm Evercore ISI has a Street-high target of $352, bumping it up from $261 back in November. At the bearish end of the spectrum, Seaport Global Securities is perched at $140. The goal was actually boosted from $100 two months ago. It's a world of extreme outcomes. If Evercore is right, there's 84% upside for Nvidia shareholders from its Monday close of $191.52. If Seaport scores, Nvidia stock would take a 27% hit. The median of all the analyst profit targets is $250, a reasonable 31% higher than where the undeniable leader of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution stands today. These estimates are all over the map, and that's a good thing. Whether you're long or short Nvidia, you don't want the complacency of every Wall Street pro hovering around the same projections. Thankfully for those who own Nvidia, there's a good reason to believe that Nvidia could exceed even the rosiest of expectations.

AppLovin (APP) is quietly building an ad behemoth that could step on Amazon's (AMZN) turf. Once primarily known as a mobile game publisher, AppLovin has transitioned into a pure-play software and AI-driven ad tech company. It now acts as an infrastructure layer, connecting thousands of advertisers with mobile app publishers to sell ad space in real time. "AppLovin should definitely be able to compete with DSPs [demand side platforms] like Amazon outside of the walled gardens if their AXON machine learning advertising engine continues to successfully onboard non-gaming advertisers," Morningstar analyst Mark Giarelli told Yahoo Finance. That engine, AXON 2.0, is the proprietary AI brain of the company. It uses massive datasets from mobile users to calculate which consumer is most likely to click buy for a specific product. Giarelli's bullishness on AppLovin is backed by a fiscal profile that makes even household AI names look sluggish. In a research note, Giarelli points to AppLovin's Rule-of-40 score (a gold-standard metric combining revenue growth and operating margin), which recently clocked in at 151%. For perspective, Nvidia's (NVDA) notched 120%, while Palantir (PLTR) came in at 114%. This efficiency suggests that AppLovin isn't just growing for the sake of scale, but is doing so by focusing on high profit and lean growth. Its stock has jumped 50% over the past year. Bank of America lead analyst Omar Dessouky argues that Wall Street is fundamentally underappreciating a "second growth curve" for AppLovin. BofA expects AppLovin's total revenue in 2026 to reach $9.3 billion, a forecast of nearly 70% growth compared to 2025. Dessouky models $2.7 billion in 2026 e-commerce net revenue, which is the cut AppLovin pockets from online transactions. He estimates the platform will see $6.7 billion in total ad spend from its merchants. This represents a leap from 2025, where AppLovin's overall advertising revenue crossed $1 billion per quarter. "Footprint growth is real and...

20. No More Dream (2013) At the start of their career, BTS were marketed as a cross between a Korean idol band and a blinged-out rap act: “Our life is hip-hop,” offered band member Suga early on.

20. No More Dream (2013) At the start of their career, BTS were marketed as a cross between a Korean idol band and a blinged-out rap act: “Our life is hip-hop,” offered band member Suga early on. No More Dream is actually far tougher-sounding than you might expect: the vocals growl, the backing blares, the double-bass sample that drives the intro is great. 19. Mikrokosmos (2019) View image in fullscreen Here come the mirror men … BTS. Evidently written with arenas twinkling with thousands of (lucratively branded) light sticks in mind, Mikrokosmos offers a brand of electronic pop that’s both melodically pretty and epic-sounding. Whether you choose to believe the claim that its title actively encouraged fans to bone up on ancient Greek philosophy is up to you. 18. Save Me (2016) Part of BTS’s appeal clearly rests on the strikingly un-macho vulnerability they project. Save Me is a case in point. The music is upbeat, bearing the influence of tropical house, electropop and – in the rhythm track of the chorus at least – dubstep. But the vocals deal in breathy desperation: “I’m trapped in myself and I’m dead.” 17. Mic Drop (2017) Already huge in Korea and Japan, a remix of Mic Drop by EDM DJ Steve Aoki gave BTS their first US Top 30 hit and breached the UK charts. Still, the original might be the best: trap-fuelled pop, with a distinct hint of Missy Elliott’s Get Ur Freak On about its hook. 16. Run (2015) Not to be confused with 2022’s Run BTS, Run is a finely turned example of the band’s gradual shift towards a more straightforwardly pop-oriented style. There’s still rapping here, but what really sticks with you is the wistfulness of the melody and the euphoric surge of the house-fuelled chorus. 15. Idol (2018) A riposte to that perennial bugbear, the haters – “I do what I do,” it counsels crossly, “so you just mind your own business” – Idol intriguingly blends South African house variant gqom and traditional Korean pansori (narrative song), heavy on synthesised gayageum ...

Against the backdrop of a late-December report from The Economic Times indicating that Tesla CEO Elon Musk was concerned about the runaway price of silver, finance influencer and author Robert Kiyosaki jumped in more recently to offer his own take on the subject. In a Facebook post, Kiyosaki said Tesla is reportedly struggling to obtain silver to keep up with its production demands, despite the company being led by one of the world’s wealthiest people. Although, it should be noted that Musk has not definitively reinforced the veracity of this claim. The real question is: is now the time for you to invest? Other Silver, Precious Metals Investment Experts Weigh In Eduan Koekoek of Royal Bull Precious Metals spoke to GOBankingRates and offered a pragmatic take on the value of buying physical silver bullion, regardless of its price action. “While cash quietly loses buying power, disciplined stacking of physical silver — always within your means — can serve as a practical hedge against inflation and a way to preserve value over time,” Koekoek said. Other experts cited by CBS News agreed. Despite its extreme price volatility, the long-term outlook for physical silver appears bullish. See Next: Robert Kiyosaki Is Dumping Gold and Silver: Here’s What He’s Buying Instead Read This: 6 Things You Must Do When Your Savings Reach $50,000 Hiren Chandaria, managing director for Monetary Metals, said silver’s role as both a monetary asset and an increasingly essential industrial material gives it a unique and potentially more robust growth outlook compared to other precious metals. Ongoing shortages in supply, combined with increasing demand from solar energy, electric systems and electronic devices, provide strong support for long-term growth, Chandaria added. Does a Gold and Silver Mix Provide Portfolio Stability? One note of caution: Most experts quoted by CBS were careful to hedge their projections as to silver’s future performance in the market. Their generally positive consen...
