Although Medpace Holdings ( MEDP ) reported Q4 financial results that beat on both lines and issued healthy 2026 revenue and EPS guidance ranges, the stock is down ~14% on Tuesday on slightly disappointing book-to-bill ratio. That figure came in at 1.04x. However, the Street was expecting slightly better demand at 1.15x. The book-to-bill ratio measures the relationship between service orders received and orders delivered.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has revealed significant paper losses amid the recent cryptocurrency market downturn. "I’ve lost more money than anyone listening to this, over $3 billion now," Hoskinson said, addressing the recent cryptocurrency market downturn. "It'd have been real easy to cash out. Just walk away." Hoskinson said he was holding on because he was not in the cryptocurrency industry for the money. "Do you think I honestly care if I lose it all?" he said. "Do you think I’m doing this for money? You’re pretty mistaken. If you do."

The platform offers advanced order type and deep liquidity to help users execute complex strategies with precision. Kraken Pro is free to access with a Kraken account. Hoskinson’s remarks came as Bitcoin dropped to $60,000 on Feb. 6, dragging Cardano’s native token ADA to $0.221 on the day. The price action followed the cryptocurrency market’s painful start to the year after its underwhelming performance last year. Bitcoin is down nearly 20% year-to-date and ADA is down 19% over the same period. Hoskinson framed the recent market downturn as a bump on the cryptocurrency industry’s path to upending the global financial system. He said markets were seeing significant volatility as the world was in the midst of a transition. He said globalization was reaching new heights, driven by artificial intelligence and changing demographics.

On the business footprint, Collins described Butterfield as "a leading offshore bank and wealth manager with leading competitive positions in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands and a growing retail banking business in the Channel islands," and outlined services spanning trust, private banking, asset management, and custody.

Royal Caribbean greeted investors with a solid fourth-quarter earnings report and 2026 outlook. Shares of Royal Caribbean (RCL +0.95%) rallied 16.4% in January, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Royal Caribbean actually had a relatively quiet month, stock price-wise, until its Jan. 29 earnings report. On that release, Royal Caribbean missed revenue expectations but met profit expectations; however, its initial 2026 guidance came in stronger than expected, lifting shares significantly over the last two trading days of the month. Expand NYSE : RCL Royal Caribbean Cruises Today's Change ( 0.95 %) $ 3.30 Current Price $ 351.33 Key Data Points Market Cap $95B Day's Range $ 348.48 - $ 356.17 52wk Range $ 164.01 - $ 366.50 Volume 48K Avg Vol 2.4M Gross Margin 39.85 % Dividend Yield 1.01 % Royal Caribbean sees smooth sailing ahead In the fourth quarter, Royal Caribbean grew revenue 13.2% to $4.26 billion, slightly missing expectations, while adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings per share rallied 71.8% to $2.80, meeting analyst estimates. That's impressive growth, though revenue misses and merely "meeting" EPS expectations are usually met with a sell-off, not a rally. Fortunately, forward guidance typically supersedes the results reported in the prior quarter. And in this case, Royal Caribbean provided the goods. Management now expects $17.70 to $18.10 in adjusted EPS for 2026, good for 14.5% earnings growth at the midpoint, and above analysts' estimates of $17.66. CEO Jason Liberty also noted the company was on track to deliver its Project Perfecta goals laid out in 2024, which call for a 20% annualized EPS growth between 2024 and 2027, with return on invested capital reaching 17% or higher by the end of the period. While the 2026 guidance would only amount to 14.5% growth, that would still put the two-year average growth rate at 23%. Liberty also noted that the company's ROIC had already reached the high teens in 2025. In addition, Liberty noted that 2026 is t...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. The recent rally that carried the S&P 500 (SPY) to within striking distance of a record has slowed into a more measured advance, with futures edging higher after a strong two-day run. Investors are now turning their focus to a dense slate of US economic data, beginning with retail sales, to gauge whether resilient household spending can persist despite elevated living costs and a still-fragile employment backdrop. After last week's AI-driven selloff and rebound, markets appear to be entering a pause, with upcoming readings on growth, inflation and labor conditions likely to shape expectations around the Federal Reserve's next steps. Beneath the surface, stock-specific moves continue to reflect selective optimism. Ferrari NV (NYSE:RACE) and Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:SPOT) both climbed more than 5% following upbeat corporate updates, while Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) moved to raise at least $9.4 billion through sterling- and Swiss franc-denominated debt after a large US issuance. In rates markets, Treasuries firmed, pushing the 10-year yield down to around 4.18%, as the dollar steadied following recent declines. Derivatives pricing continues to point toward two Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2026, with the first potentially arriving under new leadership after Jerome Powell steps down in May, a transition that has fueled debate over whether Kevin Warsh would bring a more hawkish tilt. Outside the US, political and policy developments added further texture to the global picture. UK government bonds rallied as Prime Minister Keir Starmer reinforced his position, easing concerns over leadership instability and weighing modestly on sterling. Japanese equities extended record highs, supported by optimism that increased fiscal spending under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi could lift corporate earnings, while long-dated Japanese bond yields declined. In China, the yuan strengthened to its highest level since May 2023 after regulators a...

Qualcomm’s (QCOM) post-earnings slump has revived a harsh thesis that QCOM has no bottom in sight for 2026, and the market is trading it that way. After its Feb. 4 report, the stock gave up roughly two years of gains and slipped back toward 2020 levels , even though it delivered about $12.25 billion in quarterly revenue. That headline number could not overcome the cautious outlook , and HSBC has warned that calling a clear bottom in 2026 may simply not be realistic yet. This tension becomes even clearer when set against what is happening across chips more broadly. Omdia expects global semiconductor revenue to surpass $1 trillion in 2026, with about 30.7% year-over-year (YoY) growth driven by AI-hungry memory and logic demand. Within that surge, computing and data storage are projected to climb roughly 41.4% year over year to more than $500 billion. Qualcomm sits right in the uncomfortable middle of these two stories. If semiconductors are really marching toward the $1 trillion mark in 2026, the key question is whether QCOM ultimately rides that surge or keeps lagging while Wall Street keeps searching for a bottom. Let’s dive in. QCOM’s Compressed Yet Costly Profile Qualcomm is a semiconductor company based in San Diego, California, that designs wireless chips, connectivity solutions, and licensing technology for smartphones, cars, and AI devices. QCOM offers an annual forward dividend of $3.56 per share, which translates to a 2.61% yield that may look comforting as the share price slides. At this morning's price of about $140, the stock is down 18% year-to-date (YTD) and lower by 19% over the past 52 weeks. Their equity of $147B now trades at a 14.01x forward P/E versus a 23.95x sector median and a 3.05x PEG versus 1.54x, signaling discounted pricing and doubts about near-term earnings momentum.

Never miss an important update on your stock portfolio and cut through the noise. Over 7 million investors trust Simply Wall St to stay informed where it matters for FREE. Amazon Web Services and STMicroelectronics agreed a multi-year, multibillion-dollar partnership to secure advanced chips for next generation AI and data center infrastructure. The collaboration includes long-term supply commitments for key semiconductor technologies used in AI workloads and cloud data centers. AWS also received warrants to acquire STMicro shares, aligning chip sourcing with a potential equity interest in the supplier. For NasdaqGS:AMZN, this deal goes straight to the heart of its core profit engine, AWS, which relies on a steady flow of high-performance chips to support cloud and AI customers. With large tech providers competing to build out AI-ready data centers, securing semiconductor capacity can be as important as launching new services. Investors tracking Amazon's cloud position may view this as part of how the company manages hardware risk and performance needs. The agreement gives Amazon more visibility on critical components for training and running AI models, at a time when chip availability is closely watched across the sector.
