Gold and silver are getting cheaper. So is Newmont stock. It's been a miserable week to own Newmont Corporation (NEM 5.86%) stock. Shares of the gold miner (which also mines copper, silver, zinc, and lead) are down 5.5% through 10:55 a.m. ET Thursday. This is only Newmont's second straight day of declines, but the stock's price trend is clearly of the "down" variety. Newmont's stock has fallen 16.5% since hitting its all-time high near $132 a share on Jan. 28. Gold and silver prices fall What's ailing Newmont stock? It's hardly a mystery. After hitting an all-time high of $5,419.80 per ounce on Jan. 28, the price of gold plummeted below $4,660 through Monday this week, according to data from TradingEconomics.com. Prices have recovered somewhat since, and stand at 4,816.10 currently. The story on silver is similar -- but worse. Here, too, prices peaked on Jan. 28 -- at $116.58 per ounce. By Monday, silver was selling for just $79.21. After a brief bounce higher, though, silver prices have resumed falling, hitting $74.89 today. It makes perfect sense that when the products Newmont mines and sells get cheaper, so too would Newmont's stock price.

And yet, none of this is news to Wall Street. Gold and silver prices are widely available, and Newmont's mining costs for shiny rocks are also well known. That makes it pretty easy for Wall Street analysts to do the math and forecast how much Newmont is likely to earn. And what do analysts think? Simply this: Newmont stock costs 18 times trailing earnings today. It costs only 16 times the earnings it's probably going to earn this year, though, and earnings are expected to grow 38% next year, giving Newmont stock a PEG ratio of 0.5.

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Qualcomm Incorporated (QCOM, Financials) shares fell sharply late as the chipmaker gave guidance for its fiscal second quarter that was worse than expected. This overshadowed the company's record revenue figures for the previous quarter. Qualcomm's adjusted earnings for the quarter that ended on December 28 were $3.50 per share on $12.25 billion in sales. This was a little more than what analysts had expected, which was $3.41 per share and $12.2 billion. The company's QCT sector brought in $10.61 billion, a 5% increase, thanks to more sales of automotive and Internet of Things chips. Sales of handsets rose 3% to $7.82 billion, and sales of cars rose 15% to $1.1 billion. Qualcomm thinks that adjusted EPS will be between $2.45 and $2.65 and sales will be between $10.2 billion and $11 billion. These numbers are far lower than what Wall Street thinks, which is $2.90 and $11.1 billion. The business said that smartphone consumers were affected by a lack of memory supplies throughout the world. CEO Cristiano Amon noted that demand for high-end smartphones is still strong and that the company's long-term revenue projections through fiscal 2029 are still on track.

With investors fixated on Ethereum's (CRYPTO: ETH) price near $2,100 and irritable about its prolonged period of underperformance relative to other major cryptocurrencies, it's no wonder that there are questions about what would need to happen for its price to grow by more than double, as many were expecting it to this year. There are actually a few concrete things (and a couple of squishier ones) that would almost certainly be enough to drive the coin's price above the $5,000 mark, even if it might take significantly longer than what investors are hoping for. Here are a few things that would need to happen. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Winning this key battleground segment would help The Ethereum of today has a lot going for it. With a rich ecosystem of tokens hosted on its chain, it's the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap for a reason at $250 billion. Still, its price is roughly 10% lower than it was three years ago, which suggests that surpassing $5,000 per token is not a guaranteed outcome, even for patient investors. There's one emerging segment in the cryptocurrency sector where Ethereum has a real chance of securing a major victory that'd send its price upward, perhaps durably for many years to come. That segment can broadly be described as artificial intelligence (AI) on the blockchain, but it really has (at least) two separate groups of projects: AI infrastructure projects, and the AI agents that will supposedly be using that infrastructure themselves for the purpose of managing their resources and transacting with each other. If Ethereum could use its massive population of blockchain developers and the substantial investment capital present on the chain, it could become the crypto sector's home for the AI segment, scoring a significant inflow of new investment dollars. That would send its price higher -- and given the hype about AI at the m...

Symbotic's big growth moves of 2025 should propel the company to new highs. Symbotic (SYM +2.97%) stock logged 150.9% gains in 2025, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, and already looks primed for another breakout year as it pivots toward profitability and expands its customer base. How Symbotic set the momentum in 2025 Although Symbotic stock maintained momentum for most of 2025, it erupted in November, soaring over 60% in one week to hit all-time highs after the company reported a 26% jump in revenue and 72% growth in gross profit for fiscal year 2025 ended Sept. 27, 2025. Symbotic also exited 2025 with a solid war chest of $1.3 billion and a backlog of $22.5 billion. That backlog is almost 10 times its 2025 revenue. Symbotic builds artificial-intelligence (AI)-powered automated robotic systems for warehouse and distribution centers. It deployed systems rapidly last fiscal, nearly doubling the total number of operational systems to 48. Things are getting even better.

Its operational systems increased to 51 with 57 in deployment, revenue surged 29% year over year, gross profit jumped 65%, and cash balance increased to $1.8 billion. Above all, Symbotic turned a net profit of $13 million in the quarter compared with a net loss of $17 million in Q1 2025. With those profits, Symbotic is off to a strong start in 2026. The company made some significant growth moves in 2025 that should pay off handsomely in 2026 and beyond. They include the acquisition of Walmart's (WMT +0.25%) advanced systems and robotics business, an agreement to develop automated systems for last-mile pickup and delivery at 400 Walmart centers, and the signing of a new customer, medical supplies gian...

A 28-year-old social worker from South Jersey says they paid off a $225,000 mortgage in just a year and a half. The home, purchased in July 2024 for $475,000, came with a 30-year mortgage at a 7.125% interest rate. “I am MORTGAGE-FREE!!!” they wrote on Reddit’s r/Mortgages recently, celebrating the payoff just three days after sending the final check. How It Happened The social worker explained that while their current income is about $80,000 a year, the real financial engine came from a years-long side business flipping luxury watches. “From 18-24 yrs old, I had a side hustle of selling luxury watches (primarily Rolexes) to rich people who wanted them immediately,” they said. “That money laid the foundation for paying off the mortgage.” Don't Miss: The AI Marketing Platform Backed by Insiders from Google, Meta, and Amazon — Invest at $0.85/Share Americans With a Financial Plan Can 4X Their Wealth — Get Your Personalized Plan from a CFP Pro By the time they bought the house, they had reportedly made around $350,000 from this side business. They put down roughly $250,000 upfront and used the remaining proceeds plus work income to knock out the rest. They credited their success to a mix of timing and frugality. “I lived with my parents up until the day I bought the house,” they wrote. This allowed them to save aggressively and avoid rent or other major expenses. Still, some commenters were skeptical, questioning whether the math added up or if unreported income or family support helped fill the gaps. “The math ain't mathin,” one said, while another added, “This was your job. Social work was your side hustle.” There were also warnings about replicability. “Margins on flipping most of those is 500-1000 and you have to tie up 20k in capital risking it,” one person pointed out, suggesting that the luxury watch resale game isn’t easy to break into or sustain.

受抛售压力加剧影响，比特币（BTC-USD）周四跌至每枚 6.7 万美元 ，创下 2024 年以来最低水平 。 在美国财长斯科特・贝森特（Scott Bessent）明确表示美国政府不会出手救助加密货币市场后，比特币延续了前一交易日的跌势。 周三，在美国众议院金融服务委员会的激烈听证会上，贝森特被问及美国财政部是否有权收购比特币或其他加密货币。 贝森特明确表示： “我无权这么做，作为金融稳定监督委员会（FSOC）主席，我也没有这项权力。” 受此言论影响，比特币周四早盘一度跌至 每枚 67，073 美元 ，延续了周三的暴跌行情。 此外，市场整体抛售压力加大，以及知名投资者迈克尔・伯里（Michael Burry）发出的警告，进一步加剧了比特币的下跌。伯里称，比特币价格的持续下跌可能 **“引发死亡螺旋，导致资产价值大规模毁灭”**。 曾因精准预测 2008 年金融危机而声名鹊起的伯里，在其 Substack 平台上写道： “比特币已被证实是一种纯粹的投机资产，无法像黄金等贵金属那样对冲货币贬值风险。” 周四的下跌进一步加剧了比特币近期的暴跌。作为全球最大的加密货币，比特币今年以来已下跌近 20% 。 上周末，比特币大幅下跌，创下 连续第四个月下跌 的纪录。 此次下跌恰逢特朗普总统上周五宣布，提名凯文・沃什（Kevin Warsh）在杰罗姆・鲍威尔 5 月任期结束后接任美联储主席。市场普遍认为这一提名属于 鹰派 信号。 以太坊（ETH-USD）及其他加密代币也同步下跌。 在比特币跌破 7.3 万美元 关键支撑位后，10X Research 策略师在报告中写道： “当前资金流向显示市场情绪已发生显著转变。” 该机构策略师指出，资金流向和持仓数据表明 **“投资者尚未准备好逢低买入”**。 研究人员写道： “尽管情绪和技术指标已接近极端水平，但整体下行趋势依然完好。在缺乏明确催化因素的情况下，市场暂无介入紧迫性。” 该机构还提到，交易员目前更关注 去杠杆化和平仓 ，而非为典型的反弹做准备。 加密资产的下跌压力反映了整个加密市场的整体脆弱性。除上月短暂反弹外，自 10 月以来比特币便陷入困境，期间大额持有者抛售和强制平仓潮席卷了整个行业。 Fundstrat 数字资产主管肖恩・法雷尔（Sean Farrell）表示， 7.5 万美元区间 是合理的支撑位。这一判断基于 2024...

Davidovici/iStock via Getty Images The stock market in 2026 has been unkind to small-cap stocks, particularly those that are fallen angels that peaked during the pandemic. Peloton Interactive, Inc. ( PTON ), the home exercise equipment maker, has been struggling for years with tepid demand for its stationary bikes and rowers, and the tough macro backdrop isn’t helping now either. Peloton Interactive, Inc. ( PTON ) just reported fiscal Q2 results , and sales for the holiday quarter disappointed sharply, alongside the planned exit of the company's CFO Liz Coddington. Yet it’s not all bad news, either: the company actually raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow expectations, thanks in part to richer than expected gross margins. With Peloton falling ~10% post earnings, we do have to ask: is now the right time to buy? Data by YCharts I last wrote a Buy rating on Peloton in December, when the stock was hovering above $6 per share. Since then, Peloton has slid further. I’ll acknowledge that the company has a ways to go in terms of regaining investor confidence in growth. But we think Peloton is doing a great job at “controlling the controllables,” namely by not being afraid to slash costs in a commensurate manner against its top line declines. Given my conviction in Peloton’s strong brand identity, its commercial business opportunity, and its improving subscriber pool and retention metrics, I’m reiterating my buy rating here. Now, it’s true that a cheap valuation has now become the cornerstone reason to buy Peloton, so let’s first start with a discussion of the company’s latest multiples against its latest outlook. At current post-earnings share prices near the low $5s, Peloton trades at a market cap of $2.17 billion. After we net off the $1.18 billion of cash against $1.50 billion of debt on Peloton’s most recent balance sheet , the company’s resulting enterprise value is $2.49 billion. For the remainder of FY26, Peloton has sliced its full-year revenue e...

Key Takeaways There's been extensive debate over the risk of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) after cataract surgery. In a large retrospective cohort study, the risk of neovascular AMD was similar for patients who did and did not undergo cataract surgery. For patients with non-neovascular AMD, a decreased conversion risk was observed at 3 months. Cataract surgery was not associated with neovascular ("wet") age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), even among patients with pre-existing cases of non-neovascular ("dry") AMD, according to a large retrospective cohort study. Among two matched groups of more than 122,000 patients, the risk of nAMD was 0.90% at 24 months for patients who underwent cataract surgery compared with 0.79% in control patients (risk ratio [RR] 1.14, 95% CI 1.04-1.24), reported Sumit Sharma, MD, of the Cole Eye Institute at the Cleveland Clinic, and colleagues in a research letter in JAMA Ophthalmology. "The 95% confidence interval remained within the predefined nonsignificance range, suggesting that the risk ratio was likely a statistical variability rather than a true outcome," they wrote. For patients with non-neovascular AMD, a decreased conversion risk was observed at 3 months (RR 0.71, 95% CI 0.56-0.89), "but this decline did not persist at subsequent time points," the authors noted. Co-author Victor Bellanda, MD, also of the Cole Eye Institute at the Cleveland Clinic, told MedPage Today that the findings "reinforce that earlier concerns about surgery accelerating AMD progression are likely overstated, particularly when weighed against the visual and quality-of-life benefits cataract surgery can provide." As he explained, there's been extensive debate over the likelihood of nAMD after cataract surgery, with some studies suggesting a higher risk. "One theory was that removing the natural crystalline lens increases retinal exposure to blue and ultraviolet light, accelerating phototoxic damage to the retinal pigment epithelium,...

(RTTNews) - After trending higher over the past few sessions, Canadian stocks have shown a substantial move back to the downside during trading on Thursday. The benchmark S&P/TSX Composite Index regained some ground after an early slump but has pulled back to new lows since then. The index is currently down 574.26 points or 1.8 percent at 31,997.29. The weakness on Bay Street partly reflects a sell-off by gold stocks, with the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index plummeting by 5.8 percent. A sharp pullback by the price of gold is weighing on the sector, as gold for April delivery is plunging $112.20 or 2.3 percent to $4,838.60 an ounce. Energy stocks are also seeing significant weakness amid a steep drop by the price of crude oil, dragging the S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index down by 1.4 percent. Crude for March delivery is tumbling $2.04 or 3.1 percent to $63.10 a barrel after moving sharply higher over the two previous sessions. Notable weakness is also visible among telecom stocks, as reflected by the 1.2 percent drop by the S&P/TSX Capped Communication Services Index.
