To get Industrial Strength delivered directly to your inbox, sign up here . The cost of the war in Iran is starting to cascade through the industrial sector — and so is the risk of supply-chain breakdown and demand destruction. Iran and Israel are continuing to exchange missile fire and there’s been little progress on reopening the crucial Strait of Hormuz, even as the Trump administration insists that peace talks are underway. Brent crude prices are bouncing up and down around $100 a barrel based on the headlines of the moment but even the lower end of prices the past two weeks take oil back to levels last seen in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine. Oil and gas are the lifeblood of the manufacturing industry, serving as both the fuel source for most production capabilities and the feedstock for plastics, adhesives, refrigerants and synthetic rubbers and fibers, among other things. Europe and Asia are likely to feel the impacts more significantly and urgently, but the US is far from immune. The cost of ferrying goods by truck, plane or ship is also surging alongside fuel expenses. Shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd AG warned this week that the disruptions in the Middle East are adding $40 million to $50 million of operating costs a week. The US Postal Service announced a temporary 8% surcharge on some packages to offset rising transportation expenses — the only time in recent history it’s done so. “The ructions in global energy markets are about to make themselves felt downstream, first in petrochemical production and then in the industrial end-markets,” Oxcap Analytics analyst Rory Smith wrote in a note.

Welcome to the Brussels Edition. I’m Suzanne Lynch, Bloomberg’s Brussels bureau chief, bringing you the latest from the EU each weekday. Make sure you’re signed up . Europe is at risk of a stagflationary shock. That’s the stark warning today from the European Union’s economy commissioner, Valdis Dombrovskis, after a meeting of euro-area finance ministers in Brussels. “It is now clear that the scale severity and impact of the war has increased” since ministers met two weeks ago, Dombrovskis said, warning that a protracted war in the Middle East could shave as much as 0.6 percentage points off economic output across the EU in 2026 and 2027. This follows an updated economic outlook from the OECD this week that lowered its growth forecasts for the euro area to 0.8% for this year, down 0.4 percentage points, as higher energy prices weigh on activity. Inflation is forecast to hit 2.6%, up 0.7 percentage points. The continuing war in the Middle East has been an unwelcome shock for the European economy, dominating last week’s EU leaders summit. International Energy Agency chief Fatih Birol dialed into today’s meeting. As well as concerns about rising energy prices, EU officials are closely watching measures being introduced by national governments to cushion the blow for consumers and businesses. Many EU countries have limited fiscal space. Eurogroup President Kyriakos Pierrakakis said today that measures should be temporary, targeted at the vulnerable and reflect the long-term strategic priorities of EU energy policy. “We should not create another type of crisis, a fiscal crisis while trying to balance this one,” he said. “It’s all about trying to find the appropriate mix.” France is one of the countries set to unveil measures later today. The euro area’s second-largest economy received a boost after figures today showed it beat its 2025 deficit-reduction target, giving the government some margin for maneuver, though Finance Minister Roland Lescure emphasized the need for ...

Vivek Vishwakarma/iStock via Getty Images Investing in BDCs comes with the advantage of getting diverse revenue streams from different corners of the market. It’s important to focus on quality players in this space that have weathered adversity while delivering strong track records of shareholder returns. Such I find with Golub Capital BDC ( GBDC ), which I last covered back in October 2024, highlighting its low non-accrual rate and defensively positioned portfolio. Lower base interest rates and fears around a ‘SaaS-pocalypse’ have pressured the stock. As shown below, GBDC currently trades near the bottom of its 52-week range with a +10% dividend yield. GBDC Stock 1-Yr Trend (Seeking Alpha) In this article, I revisit GBDC, including recent business results , and discuss why it’s currently an attractive high-yielding stock with a significant margin of safety, so let’s get started! Why GBDC? Golub Capital is an externally managed BDC that’s focused on providing direct lending solutions to U.S. middle market companies that are backed by private equity sponsors. Its portfolio is conservatively constructed with mostly first-lien, senior secured loans, comprising 92% of the portfolio total. At present, GBDC has an $8.6 billion investment portfolio that’s diversified across 420 different companies, with an average hold size of just 0.2% of portfolio total. The portfolio is mostly floating rate (99% of investments) and is invested in 52 industries. As shown below, Software, Healthcare, Consumer Services, Specialty Retail, and Insurance make up the top 5 sectors. Investor Presentation GBDC generated a solid adjusted ROE of 10.2% and adjusted NII per share of $0.38 during Q4 2025. This more than covered the recently reset quarterly dividend rate of $0.33, down from $0.39 per share previously. The reduction in dividend has less to do with weakness in NII per share over the past 5 quarters, which has remained tightly rangebound in the $0.37 to $0.38 range, as shown below. Inste...

imaginima/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis Hims & Hers Health Inc. ( HIMS ) shares rallied to ~$27 before resetting to ~$20, still leaving the stock roughly 40% higher since my last coverage . However, it’s been all about expectations rather than fundamentals. The removal of the major regulatory overhang following the Novo Nordisk ( NVO ) deal saw the stock re-rate significantly towards $27. However, this, in my view, pulled forward execution without any meaningful revenue contribution. What we’ve seen since is not a failed breakout but a return to reality. I believe that the market is still misunderstanding HIMS. This is no longer an early growth story. We’ve seen $2.35 billion in revenue in 2025, as well as continued ARPU expansion and strong subscriber growth. We’re in a much better place today. The short interest is high, volatility is gone, and we’re left with fundamentals driving the next move. This is where things often get interesting as we begin to see some asymmetry build before we begin to realize it. Data by YCharts Crowded Shorts, Calm Conviction, But Pressure Is Building At first glance, HIMS is an obvious short squeeze story. It combines volatility, high short interest, and a clear catalyst narrative. However, I don’t believe it’s as simple as that. The move towards $27 was not an increase in earnings or revenue growth—it was an acceleration of expectations following the Novo deal. When those expectations were not met right away with numbers, the stock corrected. The correction, to me, is not a sign of weakness in the business but a sign of a stock that got ahead of itself. The reality, of course, is that beneath the surface, the dynamics of the stock have actually changed in a more interesting manner. The short interest level, for example, remains high at 83.3 million shares , or roughly 40% of the float. While that is a high level of short interest, the more interesting reality is how that level of short interest performs as the environment...

nzphotonz/iStock via Getty Images By Mike Larson Transcript Mike Larson: Headline risk. If ever there was a market illustrating that concept, it's this one. One day everything's selling-off due to disturbing developments out of the Middle East, and the next day everything's soaring on discussions of detente. So, what do you do as an investor or trader? How can you navigate geopolitical volatility that you have no control over? And more importantly, how has the economic and market outlook changed since the U.S.-Israel, Iran conflict broke out? And what about all those things Wall Street was talking about just a few weeks ago, like a possible AI bubble and spiraling risk in private credit? To get you the latest intelligence on all of those important developments, I went straight to one of my favorite MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast guest. He's Dr. Ed Yardeni, President of Yardeni Research and Editor of the Yardeni QuickTakes newsletter. Ed, thanks for joining me. I want to start by asking you to maybe set the stage for where things stood in the markets and the economy before the conflict broke out and then how you think and how your worldview has changed since then in the last few weeks? Ed Yardeni: Well, my view hasn't really changed that dramatically. I think certainly in the short run, the war is going to mean higher inflation. It also, I think, greatly reduces the likelihood that the Fed will cut rates. I think the Fed will probably do nothing for the rest of the year because for the next few months, they are going to have an inflation problem that they're going to have to think about as an offset to maybe a continuation of relatively weak labor markets. And it's a fog of war. They don't really know how it's coming out, how we're coming out of it as the rest of us don't. And they will also have these lingering effects of the war on the economy. And I think the Fed should just declare that there's just some things that monetary policy can't fix. Monetary policy can'...

Ross Pomerantz, a former Oracle employee, has carved out a lucrative niche in a crowded creator economy.

US consumer sentiment slid to a three-month low in March and year-ahead inflation expectations jumped as the war in the Middle East drives up gasoline prices. The University of Michigan’s final March sentiment index fell to 53.3 from a preliminary reading of 55.5, according to a report released Friday. The survey period includes responses from Feb. 17 to March 23, with about two-thirds of those collected after the Iran war began. Consumers expect prices to rise at an annual rate of 3.8% over the next year from 3.4% a month earlier, the biggest increase since April 2025. At the same time, longer-term inflation expectations eased. Gasoline prices have shot up about $1 a gallon on average in the US since the start of the US-Israeli war with Iran, which is about to enter its fifth week. This jolt is compounded by existing worries over higher costs for everyday goods and risks causing consumers to cut back on discretionary spending. Economists in a Bloomberg survey raised their estimates for inflation through year-end, while tempering expectations for growth, consumer spending and employment. “The persistence of high prices continues to be the dominant factor for consumer views of the economy, with 47% of consumers spontaneously noting that prices are currently eroding their personal finances,” Joanne Hsu , director of the survey, said in a statement. She added that year-ahead gas price expectations jumped to the highest since June 2022, when inflation peaked in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “Consumers with middle and higher incomes and stock wealth, buffeted both by escalating gas prices and volatile financial markets in the wake of the Iran conflict, exhibited particularly large drops in sentiment,” Hsu said. The current conditions gauge slipped to 55.8 in March from 56.6 a month earlier, while the expectations index decreased to a four-month low. Consumers’ perception of their expected financial situation fell to the lowest level in five months.

QatarEnergy Declares ForceMajeure For LNG Shipments Through May, Representing As Many As 90 Cargoes The already dismal LNG supply situation just got worse. With up to 20% of global LNG flows shuttered due to the ongoing blockade of the Hormuz Strait and the extensive damage of Qatar LNG infrastructure, QatarEnergy has declared force majeure on some of ⁠its long-term liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply contracts, including ‌for customers ⁠in Italy, Belgium, South Korea ⁠and China, effectively canceling contractual obligations . That would represent as many as 90 cargoes according to Bloomberg. The move on Tuesday comes amid ongoing production and supply disruptions caused by the United States-Israeli war on Iran. Force majeure is a clause in contracts that allows a party to be excused from its obligations due to unforeseeable events. Petroleum companies in Kuwait and Bahrain have also recently invoked force majeure. Last week, QatarEnergy CEO Saad al-Kaabi said an Iranian attack on Qatar’s Ras Laffan gas facility wiped out about ⁠17 percent of the country’s LNG export capacity, causing an estimated $20bn in lost annual revenue and threatening supplies to Europe and ⁠Asia . Repairs are expected to take 3-5 years. Saad al-Kaabi told the Reuters news agency that two of Qatar’s 14 LNG trains, the equipment used to liquefy natural gas, and one of its two gas-to-liquids facilities were damaged in Iranian attacks. The repairs will sideline 12.8 million tonnes of LNG production per year for three to five years, he said. The Iranian attack on Ras Laffan came after the Israeli military targeted Iran’s offshore South Pars gasfield, the largest in the world, located off the coast of the country’s southern Bushehr province. Majed al-Ansari, spokesperson for Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, had condemned Israel for targeting South Pars, noting that the Iranian gasfield is an extension of Qatar’s North Field. Qatar and other Gulf countries have also condemned Iran’s continued at...

Monty Rakusen/DigitalVision via Getty Images Arxis Is Growing Quickly And Now Profitable Arxis, Inc. ( ARXS ) has filed to raise capital from an IPO of its Class A common stock to pay down debt, according to an S-1 registration statement . The company designs and manufactures electronics and mechanical components for a variety of aerospace, medical, and industrial applications. ARXS has produced strong top line growth, margin improvement and is profitable and producing substantial cash flow, although it faces many risks. Institutional demand for the IPO will likely be significant, assuming reasonable valuation assumptions by management. What Does Arxis Do? The company has acquired more than 30 companies to create a range of electronic and mechanical products for mission-critical aspects of defense and aerospace, and to a lesser extent, medical technology, via its 47 customer-facing brands. Its primary end markets are Defense, Space, Commercial Aerospace and Industrial Technology, as shown in its partial product list examples here: SEC In 2025, the company said that 90% of its revenue was generated from products that are uniquely designed, developed and produced by Arxis, often protected by patents, trade secrets or exclusive manufacturing processes. Arxis’ revenue contribution by type and region is shown in the pie charts here: SEC The firm’s President and Chief Executive Officer is Kevin Perhamus, who has been with Arxis or predecessor companies since 2020.

Torsten Asmus U.S. Treasury yields climbed sharply on Friday morning, with benchmark rates reaching multi-month highs and drawing heightened investor attention across global markets. The U.S. 10 Year Treasury yield ( US10Y ) rose to 4.48%, marking its highest level since July 17, 2025, as sustained upward pressure continues to build in longer-duration bonds. Meanwhile, shorter-term rates also advanced notably, with the U.S. 2 Year Treasury yield ( US2Y ) hitting its highest point since June 11, 2025, reflecting shifting expectations around monetary policy and interest rate outlooks. On the long end of the curve, the U.S. 30 Year Treasury yield ( US30Y ) extended gains as well, reaching levels last seen on September 3, 2025. The broad-based move higher in yields underscores persistent market volatility and ongoing adjustments in rate expectations.

Arvydas Lakacauskas/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction Shattuck Labs, Inc. ( STTK ) caught my eye because of the massive loss in value over the last five years, and I wanted to see if that was completely warranted and whether trading at single FW P/E digits is justified. It seems that as revenues increased, its share price continued to stumble on fears of AI and a dying business, which is not true. However, there are too many unknowns regarding AI and the merger, so I am going to sit on the sidelines for now. Performance Let’s take a look at the last three years of performance to see if we can find any sort of interesting patterns or revelations. We can see that in the past three years, the company’s revenues continued to grow, which is not at all what I expected. I was expecting to see revenues dip in the advent of ChatGPT, but that was not the case at all. Seeking Alpha It seems that SSTK benefited from this and leaned into it hard. The management saw the opportunity and pounced. Making licensing deals with OpenAI, Meta Platforms, Inc. ( META ), Amazon.com, Inc. ( AMZN ), and Google ( GOOG )( GOOGL ). This essentially created a new revenue stream for the company that is now expected to bring in $250 million by 2027 . Just a year before that, this was essentially zero, so kudos for leaning into it. Unfortunately, the company seems to have stopped providing conference calls because of the planned merger with Getty Images Holdings, Inc. ( GETY ) from back in January of 2025, so we don’t have any proper numbers on how much that AI licensing segment has grown. What we do have is that Data, Distribution, and Services have grown to $203.2m at the end of 2025. That’s around 16% growth y/y. SSTK 10-K In terms of profitability over the same period, we can see quite a mixed bag. Since the beginning of 2023, the company has experienced some margin erosion and only saw them starting to come back up in the second quarter of 2025. I am honestly a little disappointed ...

No Mercedes car started last race in China Norris: ‘I believe we can get close’ McLaren’s intent is clear as they enter the Japanese Grand Prix after a trying opening to the season: the only way is up. Suzuka’s singular and spectacular test will form another part of the team’s learning curve of the new regulations, with optimism that the defending champion Lando Norris’s title and the team’s constructors’ championship are still within reach. After Mercedes dominated the opening two rounds, McLaren found themselves third fastest but well behind Ferrari and as much as half a second off the pace. They were honest in acknowledging they had work to do on the aerodynamic side of the chassis and on understanding how best to exploit their new engines under the power management rules that are now a key part of performance.
