It's presently selling into one of the most lively segments of the tech sphere. Impressive growth in an important product segment was the secret sauce behind Texas Instruments' (NASDAQ: TXN) double-digit stock rise over the past few trading days. On Tuesday, the company posted its first quarterly earnings release this still-young year, and while it missed on key fundamentals, it still provided plenty of reason to become (or remain) bullish on its stock. With that blustery tailwind, Texas Instruments finished the week up by more than 11% in value, according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence. In the center of a hot segment Texas Instruments' fourth quarter of 2025 saw the company earn just over $4.42 billion, a sturdy 10% improvement over the same period of 2024. Net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) declined over that one-year span, but not to a worrying degree -- it was down by 3% to $1.16 billion ($1.27 per share). Those figures landed just shy of the consensus analyst estimates. These stood at $4.45 billion for revenue and $1.29 per share for net profitability. One of the powerhouse segments driving Texas Instruments' double-digit revenue growth during the period was data centers. These facilities are experiencing a boom these days thanks to the heavy demand for artificial intelligence (AI) technology, which is relatively resource-intensive. In the quarter, the company's take from this business alone zoomed 70% higher.

Earnings Call Insights: Federated Hermes, Inc. (FHI) Q4 2025 Management View John Donahue, President, CEO & Chairman, highlighted a record assets under management figure of $903 billion at year-end, led by gains in money market and equity strategies. He emphasized, "2025 saw record gross equity sales of $31 billion, including $9 billion in the fourth quarter. Fourth quarter net equity sales were $1.5 billion. Our full year 2025 net equity sales of $4.6 billion showed substantial improvement from net redemptions of $10.7 billion in 2004." Donahue noted strong performance in MDT fundamental quant strategies, stating, "MDT equity and market neutral strategies had a record $4 billion of gross sales and over $2 billion in net sales in the fourth quarter. For 2025, MDT gross sales of $19.1 billion, and net sales of $13 billion were both record highs." He reported, "We are progressing towards the FCP acquisition -- to closing the FCP acquisition during the first half of '26. The acquisition will add U.S. multifamily housing expertise to our long-standing U.K.-based real estate capabilities." Donahue announced, "We announced plans to open a Hong Kong office to capitalize on the region's rapidly growing wealth market. Subject to regulatory and other necessary approvals, the planned Hong Kong office represents a strategic expansion as we deepen relationships across the Asia Pacific region." Thomas Donahue, VP, Treasurer, CFO & Director, stated, "For Q4 compared to the prior quarter, total revenue increased $13.4 million, or 3%. Revenue from higher money market assets provided $8 million of this increase, while higher equity assets added $5.5 million. Q4 revenue included $8.2 million of real estate development fees for projects that did not advance into construction." Outlook Donahue outlined, "Across our long-term investment platform, we began 2026 with about $2.7 billion in net institutional mandates yet to fund into both funds and separate accounts.

The small rocket and capsule have been flying since April 2015 and have combined to make 38 launches, all but one of which were successful, and 36 landings. In its existence, the New Shepard program flew 98 people to space, however briefly, and launched more than 200 scientific and research payloads into the microgravity environment. So why is Blue Origin, founded by Jeff Bezos more than a quarter of a century ago, ending the company's longest-running program? Read full article Comments

Neither investors nor analysts seemed very impressed by the equipment rental company's recent performance. In recent days, investors have opted not to park their money in equipment leasing specialist United Rentals (URI 0.63%). That's because the company delivered quarterly results that fell short of analyst estimates for both revenue and profitability. Compounding that, a pundit at a very prominent bank cut his price target on the shares. Ultimately, across the five trading days of this week, United Rentals' stock fell by almost 15%, according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Fourth-quarter flop United Rentals' fourth-quarter and full-year results were published on Wednesday. These revealed that the company's revenue was $4.21 billion, nearly 3% higher year over year. On the other hand, net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) decreased by 5% to $653 million. Non-GAAP (adjusted) net profit per share also slumped, dropping to $11.09 from the year-ago $11.59. Unfortunately for the company and its stockholders, neither line item met the consensus analyst estimates. Prognosticators covering United Rentals expected the company would earn $4.24 billion in revenue and net $11.78 per share in adjusted profit. Mr. Market was likely also unsatisfied with United Rentals' guidance, which didn't exceed expectations. The company said it anticipates full-year 2026 revenue of $16.8 billion to $17.3 billion; the just-under $17.1 billion consensus analyst estimate falls almost squarely in the middle of that range.

Artificial intelligence isn't performing surgery yet, but if (when?) it does, these two companies are likely to be at the heart of it. Investors remain extremely upbeat about the outlook for artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, despite fears of an AI bubble. The likely reason is the expectation that these complex computer programs will creep into all aspects of life. It is already happening, but there are still plenty of things AI isn't doing that it probably could. One of those things is performing surgery. If you see the opportunity for AI surgery, you aren't alone. The technology is already being used to assist human doctors. Here are two AI surgery plays that could let you get ahead of the trend: Intuitive Surgical (ISRG 0.71%) and Medtronic (MDT +1.98%). Intuitive Surgical is the focused option If you think AI surgery will be a huge advance for the healthcare sector, then a pure-play surgical robotics company could be the right choice for you. Intuitive Surgical is a pioneer in the space and is 100% focused on making surgical robots. In 2025, the company installed 1,721 of its da Vinci surgical robots, up from 1,526 in 2024, a nearly 13% increase. The total number of surgical robots in place at the end of 2025 was 11,106, an increase of 12% year over year.

The company expects the number of surgeries performed in 2026 to rise as much as 15%. However, when it comes to artificial intelligence, the big story is the FDA approval of an AI tool to help surgeons make real-time adjustments when performing lung surgery. In other words, AI is already in the mix. It isn't a huge leap to think tha...

The company shut the lid on 2025 by posting a mixed final quarter. On Tuesday, Roper Technologies (ROP +1.71%) published its final set of 2025 earnings. That led to a sell-off in the tech software conglomerate to leave its shares with a nearly 9% loss over the course of this week, according to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Revenue and profitability headed north That occurred despite Roper's not-bad fourth quarter results. Revenue for the period bounced 10% higher year-over-year to $2.06 billion. Management attributed this almost equally to recent acquisitions contributing to the total and organic growth. Meanwhile, Roper's net income not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) advanced 8% higher to hit $561 million, or $5.21 per share. The company slightly missed the average consensus analyst revenue estimate of $2.08 billion. On the other hand, it topped the $5.14 collective pundit forecast for adjusted profitabiity. In its earnings press release, the company quoted CEO Neil Hunn as saying it's entered 2026 "with a fundamentally stronger foundation, following meaningful enhancements last year to our leadership talent, AI technical capabilities, capital deployment discipline, and operating model."

Sundance film festival: a once-in-a-lifetime dinner party from 1972 is transformed into a thrilling and inspiring hang-out movie In August 1972, the experimental film-maker William Greaves convened a once-in-a-lifetime dinner party at Duke Ellington’s townhouse in Harlem. The occasion was a celebration and reconsideration of the Harlem Renaissance, the watershed African American cultural movement of the 1920s. The guest list included its still-living luminaries, some of the 20th century’s most influential – and still under-appreciated – musicians, performers, artists, writers, historians and political leaders, all in their sunset years. Over four hours and untold glasses of wine, talk wheeled freely from vivid recollections to consternation, lively anecdotes to contemplations of ongoing struggle. Greaves, by then niche renowned for his innovatively meta documentary Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One, lightly directed the conversation but otherwise let the energy flow. He considered it the most important footage he ever recorded. You could probably release that remarkable footage in full, completely unedited and unstructured, and still have a good documentary; every piece is now, 50 years later – the same distance to us as the Harlem Renaissance was to them – a bridge to a time no living person can remember, each face and gesture informed by decades of aftermath no straightforward nonfiction film on the period could capture. But Once Upon a Time in Harlem, directed by Greaves’s son David, who was one of four cameramen that day, manages to seamlessly clip and contextualize the party into 100 mesmerizing minutes. It’s both a sublime hang-out of a film and a celebration of individual achievements, a fascinating map of a long-ago scene and a referendum on legacy. Once Upon a Time in Harlem is screening at the Sundance film festival and is seeking distribution Continue reading...

Key Points Apple blew past estimates in its fiscal first-quarter earnings report, driven by strong iPhone sales.

When Apple grows, it impacts a number of companies downstream, those who supply chips for its smartphones and other devices, and one category got an unusual amount of attention on theearnings call That was memory chips, which are undergoing a supply crunch due to soaring demand for AI applications, and that's sending prices skyrocketing. In fact, the first question that Apple received on theearnings callwas about inflation in memory. CEO Tim Cook said that memory constraints had little impact on first-quarter results, but he sees it becoming more of a headwind on second-quarter gross margin. He added, "Beyond Q2, we do continue to see market pricing for memory increasing significantly."

In a Wall Street era marked by investor crowding and retail momentum, this week showed how quickly conviction can evaporate. Trillions of dollars swung at a rapid clip as the most popular trades stumbled, with heavy positioning leaving little room for error. Precious metals took the biggest hit. Gold suffered its sharpest drop in decades while silver notched its biggest decline on record. Other consensus strategies — bets against the dollar , confidence in stock markets outside the US, beloved AI trades — wobbled by comparison. Yet while the volatility across precious metals was the week’s main event, it delivered a broader message: when trades harden into convention, even small shifts can produce outsized moves. The crowding was visible well before prices broke. Bank of America’s January fund-manager survey identified long gold as the most crowded trade in global markets. Demand was so relentless that the metal at one point sat 44% above its long-term trendline — a premium not seen since 1980. Keith Lerner , chief market strategist at Truist Advisory Services, puts it simply: “The consensus is always right — except at extremes.” This week tested the limits of that consensus. The dollar index on Friday had its biggest one-day gain since May, dealing a blow to bears, while equities in emerging markets had their worst session since that same month relative to American stocks. Cracks had surfaced on Thursday morning, when gold and silver dipped more than 7% in roughly 30 minutes before rebounding. The selloff accelerated on Friday after President Donald Trump nominated Kevin Warsh as the next chair of the Federal Reserve. The decision was not a big surprise — Warsh had been a popular candidate in prediction markets for days — but it sharpened a shift already under way. Long viewed as a hawk but more recently supportive of rate cuts, Warsh reintroduced uncertainty around the Fed’s path, unsettling markets that had been trading a clearly dovish outcome. That ambiguity he...

Russia Insists Venezuelan Scenario Will Not Happen In Cuba: 'No Easy Ride' Russian Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia vowed on Friday that there will be no repeat of the Venezuelan scenario in Cuba . "There has undoubtedly been betrayal in Venezuela, this is being said quite openly. Some high-ranking officials have, in fact, betrayed the president. This scenario will not work in Cuba . I think that the Americans, despite the rhetoric they have been using against Cuba lately, are still just rhetoric. Because there will be no easy ride in Cuba if they want to repeat something like what happened in Venezuela ," Nebenzia told a Russian TV channel. The statements come a day following Trump signing a new executive order declaring a national emergency related to Cuba and creating a new tariff mechanism targeting countries that supply oil to the island-nation. Already Cuba's vital flow of Venezuela oil has been cut off by US order. Illustrative: Polish S-125 air defense system mounted on a T-55 chassis. Belarus has recently modernized Soviet-designed S-125 surface-to-air missile systems for Cuba. Sourcre: Texty.org.ua Cuba "will be failing pretty soon," President Trump told reporters Tuesday during a visit to Iowa. "They got their oil from Venezuela. They're not getting that anymore." But it's true that Cuba has had much more preparation in terms of being in Washington's crosshairs, given the lengthy history of behind-the-scenes intelligence subterfuge stretching far back into the Cold War. China has also newly called out the US over its threats against Cuba , with the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Friday stating, "China stands firmly against inhumane practices and moves that deprive the Cuban people of their rights to subsistence and development." As for Russian Ambassador Nebenzia, he is also warning that any potential US action against Iran will be no walk in the park and will have massive consequences, describing that Tehran is actually now better prepared for this tha...

The California-based firm has been in early talks with potential advisers on a first-time share sale, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public. Moloco, which counts Tiger Global Management and Fidelity Management & Research Co. among its backers, was valued at more than $2 billion after a secondary share sale in 2023, according to a statement at the time.
