What happened Shares of job marketplace Upwork (NASDAQ: UPWK) plunged on Monday morning, after an analyst lowered his price target for the stock. The market was down sharply as well, exacerbating the pressure on shares of Upwork. As of 1:30 p.m. ET today, the stock was down 10%. So what According to The Fly, BTIG analyst Marvin Fong lowered his price target for Upwork today from $34 per share to $30, a decrease of almost 12%. As recently as October, Fong had a price target more than double the current one. However, the stock has fallen by more than 50% since then, and price targets tend to be reactionary to price movements -- when stocks fall, price targets come down. While Fong frequently adjusts his price targets for Upwork stock, he is at least consistent with his rating. According to TipRanks, Fong has issued a statement 25 times since the middle of 2020. During this time, he has resolutely said Upwork stock was a buy. Today's reaction is a reliable quirk in how the market interprets financial news. Fong recommends buying Upwork stock and believes it has about 36% upside from where it trades right now, which sounds bullish. But the market doesn't care about that. All it cares about is that Fong lowered the price target, which is why the stock is down today. Now what For its part, Upwork is scheduled to report financial results for the second quarter of 2022 on July 27. Management previously guided for second-quarter revenue of $147 million to $151 million, which would be an 18% to 22% year-over-year increase. My guess is that Upwork will need to at least hit this and maintain guidance for the year to keep from falling further. However, if the stock does fall further, expect further reactionary price-target decreases from analysts. 10 stocks we like better than Upwork When our award-winning analyst team has a stock tip, it can pay to listen.

TL;DR: AMD's upcoming Zen 6-based Medusa Halo APU will feature high-performance LPDDR6 memory, a 24-core CPU, and advanced RDNA 5 GPU cores, promising significant CPU and GPU upgrades. Expected in 2027, it aims to deliver RTX 5070 Ti-level gaming performance with a potential 384-bit memory bus for enhanced power. AMD's next-gen Zen 6-based "Medusa Halo" APU will reportedly use LPDDR6 memory, confirming leaks from back in August 2025, arriving as new Ryzen AI Max SoCs in 2027. 2 VIEW GALLERY - 2 IMAGES In a new post on X, someone asked a leaker a question about the memory on Medusa Halo, to which he replied "LP6". However, leaker Moore's Law is Dead said last year that AMD would be either using LPDDR6 or LPDDR5X memory, on Medusa Halo, but now this leaker has added to the consensus that Medusa Halo indeed uses LPDDR6. The August 2025 leaks from MLID on the memory controller for AMD's monster Medusa Halo APU were either a 384-bit LPDDR6, or 256-bit LPDDR5X. AMD's new Medusa Halo APU will truly be a monster, especially on a wider 384-bit bus and oh wow, if they had 48GB of LPDDR6 on the APU for the CPU and GPU, it would be a monster chip. AMD's new architectures on Medusa Halo include Zen 6 CPU cores and beefier next-gen RDNA 5-based GPU cores, delivering huge CPU and GPU performance upgrades over the current Strix Halo APU. AMD recently said it would be using its RDNA 3.5 GPU for a while yet, through to 2029; meanwhile, its new RDNA 5 GPU cores are gearing up to power the next-generation Xbox and PlayStation 6 consoles. The 24C/48T Zen 6 CPU power will be great and all, but we already can anticipate the rough CPU performance we're going to get... it's going to be faster, more cores and threads, and the new Zen 6 architecture. But what we don't know yet is just how powerful the RDNA 5 GPU cores will be on Medusa Halo, with MLID teasing that we could expect to see RTX 5070 Ti levels of gaming performance... which would be fantastic. But... it would just be great to see ...

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) speaks after departing federal court on Feb. 3, 2026 in Washington, DC. Heather Diehl | Getty Images A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., declined a request by prosecutors to indict two U.S. senators, Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, on charges of seditious conspiracy, MS Now reported Tuesday night. The attempted indictment of Kelly and Slotkin related to a video they participated in with four other Democrats in Congress that reminded members of the U.S. military that they have the right to refuse to follow illegal orders by superiors. The New York Times reported that federal prosecutors also tried and failed to obtain indictments against the other four Democrats, in addition to Kelly and Slotkin. "This is an outrageous abuse of power by Donald Trump and his lackies," said Kelly, an Arizona Democrat. "It wasn't enough for [Defense Secretary] Pete Hegseth to censure me and threaten to demote me, now it appears they tried to have me charged with a crime — all because of something I said that they didn't like. That's not the way," Kelly said. This is breaking news. Please refresh for updates.

The Times also features the counter-terrorism police's investigation into the stabbing at Kingsbury High School, highlighting the head teacher's description of the event as "deeply traumatic". It also says the investigation into Lord Mandelson's relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will "go back to Blair era". The peer's appointment to the position of British ambassador to the US has come under fresh scrutiny after the latest release of Epstein files by the US Department of Justice. It was publicly known at the time of the appointment that Lord Mandelson had maintained a relationship with Epstein after his conviction for a child sex offence. The BBC understands Lord Mandelson's view is that he answered questions about his relationship with Epstein in the vetting process accurately. Lord Mandelson has not responded to requests for comment, but the BBC understands his position is that he has not acted in any way criminally and that he was not motivated by financial gain.

Key Points Sales growth remains soft. But it could accelerate in 2026 and beyond. The company's dividend yield of 1.9% reduces some of the risk for shareholders. The stock is a nice bet to contrast the market's seemingly insatiable appetite for AI. 10 stocks we like better than Pool › It's been an interesting start to 2026, featuring significant volatility in some of the "Magnificent Seven" stocks and huge drawdowns in many software stocks. Investors are doing their best to assess the impact the continued AI (artificial intelligence) boom will have on companies. But investors don't always need a company tied closely to the market's latest buzz words to do well. One stock that has significantly outperformed the market is Pool Corporation (NASDAQ: POOL), a pool supplies distributor. The stock is up more than 14% year-to-date as of this writing, and I believe there's more upside ahead over the long haul. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need.

It's an anti-AI bet The first reason I think Pool Corp is a good dividend stock to buy now has less to do with its dividend and more to do with its specific business model and how it counters much of the speculation we are seeing in the market right now about AI.

Meta Platforms, Alphabet, and Amazon, for instance, have all disclosed plans to spend well over $100 billion on capital expenditures this year, with a large portion of this spending going toward AI-capable cloud computing infrastructure.

Despite already crushing the market this year, there's likely more meaningful upside to come for this stock. It's been an interesting start to 2026, featuring significant volatility in some of the "Magnificent Seven" stocks and huge drawdowns in many software stocks. Investors are doing their best to assess the impact the continued AI (artificial intelligence) boom will have on companies. But investors don't always need a company tied closely to the market's latest buzz words to do well. One stock that has significantly outperformed the market is Pool Corporation (POOL +1.81%), a pool supplies distributor. The stock is up more than 14% year-to-date as of this writing, and I believe there's more upside ahead over the long haul. Below is why this month I'm rerecommending Pool Corp -- the same stock I recommended in January -- as my absolute top dividend stock idea to buy now.

In fact, Amazon's budget is for "about $200 billion" in capital expenditures in 2026, making it the most aggressive of the three. These big-spending plans mean investors just have to trust that these massive bets will work out profitably over time, since there's no way to know if they will. Pool contrasts this with a straightforward business model in which it has already demonstrated substantial profitability. On sales of about $1.5 billion in Q3, the company generated $127 million in net income. Further, the company's earnings-per-sha...
