Must-have stocks generally feature several quality attributes.

Must-have stocks generally feature several quality attributes. For instance, must-have stocks sport strong balance sheets with little debt, or they have consistent earnings growth, or they demonstrate durable competitive advantages. Some do all three. The two companies featured here operate in the same broader industry, but they are incredibly different businesses and are must-have stocks for unique reasons. Here's why Ferrari (NYSE: RACE) and Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) are must-have stocks to buy and hold forever. Ferrari is arguably the best automotive stock out there at the moment and possesses a long list of desirable business qualities. Ferrari's operating margins outshine traditional automotive rivals, and its stock trades more like a luxury stock than an automotive stock. But that doesn't mean it can't be discounted on occasion. Ferrari's 2030 guidance wasn't as strong as analysts would have liked, and the stock is giving investors a rare opportunity to start a position at a lower valuation. Continue reading

Regional countries’ efforts, led by Pakistan, for a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran reportedly have reached a dead end. Mediators told the Wall Street Journal that Iran has informed them that the U.S. demands are unacceptable and that it is not willing to meet the U.S. officials in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, in the coming days. Earlier, a U.S. fighter jet was shot down over Iran in the first such incident since the war started five weeks ago. Two U.S. officials confirmed that one of the two crew members from the fighter jet has been rescued, according to the Wall Street Journal report. However, the status of the second crew member is unknown, and the search and rescue operation is ongoing. On the other hand, Iranian state broadcaster IRIB reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ air defenses targeted the American warplane. Iranian officials also called on civilians to look out for survivors. The incident follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to intensify strikes over the next two to three weeks and his warning that Iran would be pushed “back to the stone ages.” Dear readers: We recognize that politics often intersects with the financial news of the day, so we invite you to click here to join the separate political discussion.

The first Championship match of Roy Hodgson’s half-century-long coaching career was not an easy one to watch but, at the end of it, the Bristol City interim head coach was shrugging his shoulders and smiling. A seesaw second half at Charlton, stuffed full of late chances for both teams, was enough to make even the youngest coach’s heart race. “There were a few five-minute periods where I thought: ...
The first Championship match of Roy Hodgson’s half-century-long coaching career was not an easy one to watch but, at the end of it, the Bristol City interim head coach was shrugging his shoulders and smiling. A seesaw second half at Charlton, stuffed full of late chances for both teams, was enough to make even the youngest coach’s heart race. “There were a few five-minute periods where I thought: ‘This is fantastic.’ And there were a few periods where I was saying: ‘What on earth are you doing here?’” the 78-year-old smiled afterwards, victory secured in his first game back, 44 years after his first stint.

A Rome court has ruled that the price hikes Netflix imposed on subscribers in Italy in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2024 were unlawful. The court ordered Netflix to refund affected customers by up to 500 euros (about $576), depending on their plan. The lawsuit was brought by Italian consumer advocacy group Movimento Consumatori, which alleged that the price hikes violate the Consumer Code, Italian legislation that aims to protect consumer rights. The Consumer Code says it's unlawful for a “professional to unilaterally modify the clauses of the contract, or the characteristics of the product or service to be provided, without a justified reason indicated in the contract itself,” according to a Google-provided translation. The court’s April 1 ruling determined that Netflix's contracts were required to explain in advance why prices or other terms might change in the future. Read full article Comments
