gettinthere/iStock via Getty Images Ukraine is positioning its battle-tested drone defense technology for export as conflicts in the Middle East expose growing vulnerabilities to aerial attacks, Reuters reported Monday. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy recently traveled across Gulf nations to explore defense partnerships, promoting Ukraine’s expertise in countering drone threats. Rather than simply selling equipment, he emphasized that Ukraine offers a full operational approach that combines technology, training and strategy into an integrated defense system. Kyiv has already signed preliminary cooperation agreements with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, with discussions ongoing with the United Arab Emirates. Ukrainian officials have also stressed that any arms exports must be coordinated at the government level, discouraging private companies from acting independently. Defense firms are eager to expand abroad. Industry leaders say interest from the Gulf has surged as recent conflicts demonstrated how inexpensive attack drones can overwhelm traditional defenses. One executive described companies as effectively waiting on approval to move forward with deals. Ukraine’s rapid innovation stems from years of defending against large-scale drone attacks from Russia, often involving hundreds of drones in a single night. This pressure has driven the development of relatively low-cost interceptor drones designed to neutralize incoming threats before impact. The country’s defense sector believes exports could reach billions of dollars annually, potentially becoming a major pillar of postwar economic recovery. However, industry representatives warn that delays in government approvals could cost Ukraine a critical window of opportunity as global demand accelerates. Among the technologies drawing attention are sea-based drones capable of launching interceptors, originally used by Ukraine to challenge Russian naval forces. These systems are now being adapted for broader air defense roles, inc...

ultramarine5/iStock via Getty Images Apollo Global Management ( APO ) is nearing an agreement to purchase Atlantic Aviation from KKR & Co. ( KKR ) in a deal that would value the jet fixed-based operator at almost $10 billion. Apollo ( APO ) is joining up with Singaporean sovereign wealth fund GIC Pte to buy a majority stake in Atlantic Aviation, according to a Bloomberg report on Monday, which cited people familiar with the matter. KKR is expected to invest new money to retain a large interest. A transaction could come as soon as next, according to the report. KKR could still decide to keep the company. KKR and Apollo declined to comment to Bloomberg. Atlantic Aviation and GIC didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Bloomberg reported last April that KKR was considering strategic options for Atlantic Aviation after purchasing it from Macquarie Infrastructure for about $4.5 billion in 2021. Atlantic Aviation runs a network of more than 100 fixed-base operations across the United States.

The last time I reviewed Fiverr International Ltd. ( FVRR ) was in late 2024. At the time I liked that this founder-led company seemed to be leaning into AI, and I thought it might be a beneficiary of a growing gig economy, which is why I gave the company a “Buy” rating.

The last time I reviewed Fiverr International Ltd. ( FVRR ) was in late 2024. At the time I liked that this founder-led company seemed to be leaning into AI, and I thought it might be a beneficiary of a growing gig economy, which is why I gave the company a “Buy” rating. That’s probably been one (if not my worst) call, as the stock is down more than 60% since the article was published. In 2026 alone, FVRR is down over 50%, while the S&P 500 is down just 7%. With the increasing capabilities of artificial intelligence, especially the new features of Claude (like Cowork and Code), there’s a huge expectation these tools are going to wipe out a lot of freelance work. Whether that happens, only time will tell. Let’s dive into the company's plan to combat AI and discuss the company’s business metrics as well as recent financial results. Will Fiverr's 4 Pillar Plan Be Enough to Combat AI? In the back half of 2025, Fiverr’s management team announced a multi-year company-wide restructuring plan focused on four key pillars. On the company’s recent earnings call , co-founder and CEO Micha Kaufman outlined this four-pillar plan: A few months ago, we initiated a company-wide restructuring to accelerate this shift. We have since developed a multiyear execution plan built around 4 pillars: the first is matching, building advanced semantic and reasoning layer powered by proprietary data to enable AI-native talent matching. The second is product, transforming the experience across matching, fulfillment, collaboration and talent management. The third is go-to-market, expanding into enterprise and AI-native distribution channels with scalable growth engines. The fourth is operational excellence, becoming an AI-native organization across engineering, product and operations. Kaufman went on to say he’s expecting tangible results from this plan in 4 to 6 quarters and believes it will lead to continued revenue expansion. I’d say the company essentially had to make a strategic move like thi...

GummyBone/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Very few investors will disagree that 2026 has been an incredibly challenging environment to invest in. After the recent war-driven selloff, few investors are willing to brave the choppy markets, especially to invest in tech stocks that have been battered by the so-called “SaaSpocalypse.” But for investors whose time horizons are long, I continue to encourage active portfolio management and to take advantage of dislocated valuations as a buying opportunity. NetApp ( NTAP ), in particular, is an increasingly attractive bargain. The managed storage solutions provider has seen its share price decline ~5% since the start of the year, despite already starting off as a bargain stock. Meanwhile, underlying performance appears to be gaining ground, making now a potentially attractive buying window in this stock. Data by YCharts I last wrote a "Buy" article on NetApp in November, when the stock was trading at $112 per share. With NetApp’s decline in share prices since then, I continue to see a buying opportunity here in a stock that is seeing firming execution and has little risk of being displaced by AI. I’m reiterating my "B uy" rating here. For investors who are newer to NetApp, here are what I find to be the core bull case drivers for the company: Secular tailwinds as AI prompts businesses to reevaluate their infrastructure stacks. NetApp is universally applicable to all industries; the company’s storage and data management products are relevant to companies in all verticals. As companies review their IT stacks amid the push to deploy AI applications, NetApp will benefit from increased storage needs and more complex workloads. Pass-through of memory price increases. As many investors are aware, memory/NAND chips are in severely constrained supply. NetApp has passed on price increases to its customers without any seeming impact on demand, while its gross margins have remained high and intact in the low 70s. Hybrid data managemen...

liulolo/iStock via Getty Images By James Picerno Oil has been a central pressure point in most US economic downturns of the post-WWII era, but not every spike in the commodity automatically leads to a recession. Higher oil prices clearly raise economic risk, largely because crude is a primary feedstock, influencing a wide range of products, services, and prices. A sharp rise in energy costs tends to ripple across the economy. But the effects vary, depending on the economy’s strength at the time of the price jolt, prevailing financial conditions, and how long the surge lasts. The risk from an oil shock can be significant, although the potential for blowback is lower than in previous decades. One reason: the US is less vulnerable than many other countries because America pumps more oil than it consumes. Another advantage: lower energy intensity. The amount of oil needed to generate a given unit of GDP has fallen sharply in recent decades. Lower risk isn’t zero risk, however, in part because oil is priced globally, as TMC Research discussed earlier this month . That means higher energy costs stemming from disruptions in Middle East exports will spill over to the US to some degree. Gauging how much of a shock the economy will absorb is challenging because the medium-term effects of several key variables remain unknown. At the top of the list: how long will the war last, how quickly will Middle East exports rebound toward normal levels, and how will US consumers and businesses respond in the interim? What we do know is that previous oil spikes don’t always line up with recessions. Consider the year-over-year changes in the US oil benchmark - West Texas Intermediate (WTI) - in relation to economic contractions, as defined by NBER.org , the official arbiter of the US business cycle. The key lesson: recession risk rises when oil prices rise sharply, but the relationship varies because other macro conditions matter, too. Higher energy costs usually slow growth, but to varyin...

There are so many great smart locks out there. But one of best models that iPhone owners should consider buying now is Aqara’s U400 , which offers hands-free unlocking when you get close enough. It has Apple’s U1 ultra-wideband chip integrated to authenticate you and unlock the door hands-free, so all that you have to do is open the door when you get home. This smart lock is discounted for the first time during the Big Spring Sale , costing $229.49 (originally $269.99) at Amazon . Aqara Smart Lock U400 Where to Buy: $269.99 at Aqara $269.99 $229.49 at Amazon As our reviewer Jennifer Pattison Tuohy put it in her hands-on impressions with the U400 , hands-free unlocking isn’t new — but this is the most reliable implementation she’s tried yet. Apple’s Home Key relies on a mix of Bluetooth and UWB to connect and authenticate, and you don’t need an extra app. In addition to using Home Key, you can unlock the U400 with a code on its touchscreen keypad, through a registered fingerprint, or with a regular ol’ key. This is a Matter-over-Thread lock, and it works with your choice of smart home ecosystems. You’ll just need a Thread border router (recent Apple TV models , the second-gen HomePod , and the HomePod Mini are just a few examples of border routers at varying prices) to let your devices communicate over Thread instead of purely over Wi-Fi, saving the doorbell’s battery along the way.
