Analysts are revisiting their price targets for Advanced Micro Devices, using an unchanged US$289.61 fair value estimate as the anchor while tweaking underlying assumptions. Much of the recent commentary turns on how the expanded GPU agreement with Meta, links to OpenAI, and a growing ecosystem in data center and edge inference are or are not already captured in those targets.

Analysts are revisiting their price targets for Advanced Micro Devices, using an unchanged US$289.61 fair value estimate as the anchor while tweaking underlying assumptions. Much of the recent commentary turns on how the expanded GPU agreement with Meta, links to OpenAI, and a growing ecosystem in data center and edge inference are or are not already captured in those targets. As you read on, you will see how to track these shifting views and what to watch as the story around AMD continues to...

‘Ukraine has expertise concerning sea waterways, and the defence and reopening of maritime traffic,’ says president. What we know on day 1,500 Volodymyr Zelenskyy offered on Thursday to provide Ukraine’s expertise in dealing with freedom of navigation in the Black Sea to those countries considering how to keep the strait of Hormuz open amid the conflict in the Middle East. The Ukraine president, speaking in his nightly video address, said the foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, had taken part in a virtual meeting devoted to reopening the strait of Hormuz, attended by about 40 countries. “Ukraine has relevant expertise concerning sea waterways, and the defence and reopening of maritime traffic,” he said. “If [our] partners are ready to act, we will consider how we can strengthen them, how we can apply our expertise, knowledge and technological potential.” Russia’s army recorded no territorial gains on the frontline in Ukraine in March, for the first time in two and half years, AFP analysis of data from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) showed . The Russian army’s advances have been slowing since late 2025 due to Kyiv’s localised breakthroughs in the south-east, and losing ground in March and February on the southern section of the frontline, between the Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, the analysis showed. Across the entire frontline, Ukrainian forces managed to recapture 9 sq km in March. North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, gave “field guidance” at the Memorial Museum of Combat Feats at the Overseas Military Operations, which is under construction , state media KCNA said. The museum in Pyongyang will be a place to commemorate the fallen soldiers sent to support the Russian army in the war in Ukraine. The construction of the museum is almost complete and Kim said the opening ceremony would be held in mid-April, marking the first anniversary of the deployment of the North Korean soldiers. Six Ukrainian children will be returned from Russia to their families in U...

Andreus/iStock via Getty Images Elevator Thesis I have been exploring the energy sector lately and I am going to break down Ecopetrol S.A. ( EC ) in this piece. Ecopetrol is an oil and gas producer. Basically, it refines crude into fuels, transports energy through pipelines and also operates power assets. Interestingly, Ecopetrol checks the right boxes on paper. It generates steady production and plans to pay a generous dividend of COP110 per share in FY 26. After a strong rally (currently close to its 52-week high), the stock still trades at roughly 11x forward earnings, which makes it look inexpensive at first glance. However, this appeal fades once we examine numbers. In Q4 FY 25, revenue and net profit dipped 18% and 61% YOY, respectively. Meanwhile, earnings also dropped 40% to COP9.03T for the full year. Its profits are declining despite stable production. This points to an external pressure. Yes, the Brent crude oil prices were moving somewhere around the $70 range in FY 25, but the policy is hitting hard now. To take this into perspective, taxes, including “conmoción” levies and a COP5.3T tax claim, are slashing earnings. Even more uncertainty is created by the CEO-related governance issues. To be honest, all of this is hard to ignore. Indeed, the dividend may look tempting, but it remains uncertain and tied to future payout decisions. In addition, cash flows are under pressure already. Therefore, considering everything, I assign EC stock a Sell rating right now. Stable Production but Profits Are Falling From the outside, Ecopetrol seems to be doing exactly what it should do, but a quick assessment of its earnings completely flips the story. EC Financial Metrics (Author generated) Ecopetrol's revenue fell 18% to COP28.5T, and I would particularly attribute that to the lower oil prices. EBIDTA went down 16.2% to COP9.96T, but its margins clocked in at around 34.5%. It tells us that the cost structure remains tight, but then net income falls more than 60% to C...
