JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The thesis that I gave for investing in Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU ) in my April 21, 2025 article and my July 2, 2025 article was that its prospective opportunities in High Bandwidth Memory ("HBM") were massive, and that the memory industry was likely in an upcycle. That premise has played out favorably. The stock has a 500% total return since the publication of my April article and a 227.45% total return since the publication of my July article, as of its closing price on January 23, 2026. HBM is a specialized form of volatile memory with higher bandwidth, lower power consumption, and much speedier data transfer speeds than conventional DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). Since Artificial Intelligence ("AI") models require high data transfer speeds, HBM becomes essential for enabling AI. Micron originally forecast that HBM would grow its total addressable market ("TAM") from $35 billion in 2025 at a 23.36% compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") to approximately $100 billion in 2030. Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") Sanjay Mehrotra updated HBM growth on the first quarter fiscal year ("FY") 2026 earnings call to an approximately 40% CAGR between 2025 and 2028 to reach $100 billion in 2028, two years earlier than the previous forecast, indicating the AI industry may be in a period of multi-year revenue growth. AI industry growth will likely make the memory industry less cyclical than it has been in the past. SK Hynix ( HXSC.F ) is the top HBM manufacturer, with over 60% market share. Micron is battling Samsung ( SSNLF ) for second place, with a share of around 21% to 22%. Although it is not the market leader, Micron is one of only three players with a significant enough market share to benefit from a rapidly expanding pie. Analysts will likely use faster-than-expected HBM market growth to justify raising Micron's revenue estimates, which should support the stock's multiple expansion. CEO Mehtora noted the following on the c...

Micron Technology: Smart Bet For Investors Chasing Strong Near-Term Returns (NASDAQ:MU) Seeking Alpha

专题：聚焦美股2025年第四季度财报 核心要点 通用汽车 正努力在特朗普政府的政策环境下平衡利润、车型组合与政治层面的突发波动，成为令投资者瞩目的亮点企业。 过去一年，通用汽车股价累计涨幅超 70%；本周，多位华尔街分析师将其目标股价上调至历史新高。 充足的现金储备为通用汽车的这项平衡操作提供了缓冲空间，公司 2025 年末的现金余额达 217 亿美元。 2025 年 7 月 8 日，通用汽车首席执行官玛丽・博拉出席在爱达荷州太阳谷度假村举办的艾伦公司年度太阳谷媒体与科技大会。 在特朗普政府执政背景下，通用汽车在平衡企业利润、车型产品组合与政治层面的突发波动方面，堪称走钢丝的高手。 这家底特律车企发布的 2025 年业绩超出市场预期，还发布了更为乐观的 2026 年业绩指引，包括将股息提高 20%、批准 60 亿美元的新股票回购计划；受此提振，其股价在周二创下历史新高。 这样的亮眼业绩对通用汽车而言并非首次，但华尔街分析师指出，在美国汽车行业销量放缓、政治局势动荡且关税政策频出的背景下，通用汽车比同行更能吸引投资者关注。 加拿大皇家银行 旗下考恩投行分析师伊泰・米夏埃利在周二发布的投资者报告中写道：“通用汽车的突出之处在于出色的运营执行力、经检验的抗风险能力、高质量的盈利表现（如去库存阶段仍实现强劲的自由现金流）、合理的资本配置，以及其在北美市场独树一帜的皮卡业务 —— 该业务的基本面远优于传统乘用汽车业务。” 过去一年，通用汽车股价涨幅超 70%。业绩发布后，包括考恩投行在内的多家华尔街机构将其目标价上调至历史新高，其中考恩投行在周二将通用汽车目标价上调 10%，至每股 122 美元。 多位分析师表示，在盈利表现和资本运营效率方面，通用汽车与美国本土最直接的竞争对手 福特汽车 、斯特兰蒂斯的差距正不断拉大。 摩根大通 分析师瑞安・布林克曼在周二的投资者报告中称：“我们给予通用汽车增持评级，原因在于其在北美本土车企中具备行业领先的运营执行力、稳定的管理团队与发展战略，同时优质的产品组合使其能够实现高于行业平均水平的定价与利润率。” 过去一年福特汽车股价涨幅超 35%，但该公司 2026 年调整后盈利预期仅约为通用汽车 2025 年业绩的一半，近年来调整后自由现金流预期也比通用汽车低数十亿美元。 斯特兰蒂斯正在推进重大业务重组，其在美上市股票过去一年累计下跌约 27%...

格隆汇1月29日｜市场对特朗普可能准备对伊朗发动打击的猜测，正点燃油价涨势。美国基准原油期货价格飙升5.2%，至66.48美元，为去年8月以来的最高盘中水平。当前油价较年初已上涨约15%。Rystad Energy地缘政治分析主管豪尔赫·莱昂指出，近期油价的跳涨幅度，已超过去年伊朗与美国、以色列爆发12天冲突前的价格上涨速度。这表明市场对近期军事行动及相关供应风险的预期概率，即使未比之前更高，也已达到了相似水平。

Additionally, the board of directors of Peoples Financial Corporation announced that it has approved an extension of the Company’s current stock repurchase program, originally set to expire on December 31, 2025, with no expiration date. The program authorizes the repurchase of up to the lesser of $750,000 or 40,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding and issued common stock. Shares will be repurchased at the discretion of management either on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and repurchased shares will be retired.

Fourth Quarter Earnings Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased $812,000 to $716,000 compared to net income of $1,528,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024. The earnings per weighted average common share for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $0.16 compared to earnings per weighted average common share of $0.33 for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Total interest income decreased by $1,071,000 to $6,569,000 for the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared with $7,640,000 for the fourth quarter of 2024.

New compute deals strengthened customer relationships and reduced dependence on any single client, supporting a strong growth pipeline. NVIDIA Corporation NVDA recently invested $2 billion into CoreWeave, nearly doubling its stake, to expand data centers aimed at 5 gigawatts of capacity by 2030. This reflects Nvidia’s confidence in AI demand and CoreWeave’s role in meeting it. Ongoing expansion with hyperscalers, enterprises and government labs pushed CRWV’s revenue backlog to more than $55 billion by late 2025. CRWV is rapidly scaling its footprint, deploying hundreds of thousands of GPUs across U.S. and European data centers, with more than 1 GW of contracted capacity still to come online. It is emerging as a key AI cloud infrastructure provider, with the third quarter marked by major partnerships and capacity growth. Active power rose 120 MW sequentially to roughly 590 MW, while contracted capacity expanded to 2.9 GW. CoreWeave is a cloud computing company focused primarily on GPU-accelerated AI compute for training and inference workloads. Unlike general clouds, it specializes in high-performance GPU compute and optimized infrastructure tailored for AI workloads. Growth is anchored by massive, long-term AI contracts. It expanded its OpenAI partnership with a new deal worth up to $6.5 billion, lifting total OpenAI commitments to about $22.4 billion. The company also signed a $14.2 billion cloud capacity agreement with Meta Platforms through 2031, with expansion options into 2032, creating a highly visible and recurring revenue pipeline. Both offer exposure to AI infrastructure, but they sit at opposite ends of the risk spectrum. So which one is the better buy right now based on their competitive advantages and risks, financial and market positioning and long-term investment prospects? Both compete for AI and cloud computing workloads, with CoreWeave focusing on GPU acceleration and Google Cloud offering comprehensive cloud and AI solutions. Per a report from Mord...

Olga Kostrova /iStock via Getty Images Note to Investors: This is my second article on New Fortress Energy ( NFE ), and serves as a follow up to the article, shown here . The articles should be read in succession to understand company-related developments since that point. Background and Continued Strategy Since my last coverage of New Fortress Energy, not unexpected to investors, there has been a lot of volatility in the share price. As a reminder, the strategy I advised was one revolving around a heavy use of covered calls and cash secured puts, in order to capitalize on the rewarding option premiums this stock offers. In my personal portfolio, this strategy has worked well, with a cost basis nearing $0. This means, in theory, that my trade will soon be 'risk free.' Based on recent restructuring news, which will highly likely result in common equity surviving, I foresee that the conditions are right to continue pursuing this strategy. However, importantly, I would like to note that the restructuring news heavily lowers the risk-reward of the investment. Thus, while I would still like to reiterate my "Buy" rating on NFE, I recommend that investors cover most of their NFE position, as the outright long case appears to be less likely than during the publishing of my last article. As mentioned previously, NFE is undoubtedly a play that carries heavy risk, but by continuing to capture option premium, investors can continue to lower their cost basis and come out nearly risk free, even in the worst case. By pursuing this strategy, I believe that investors can achieve favorable returns in both the bear and bull case. Restructuring Update On January 26th, a Bloomberg article was published revealing that Wes Edens, the CEO of NFE, is in talks with creditors to take preferred equity in NFE. Under this restructuring, creditors would take economic control of certain assets. These assets include: Brazilian assets are expected to be taken under control by the 2029 senior secured...

Sundry Photography Merck ( MRK ) is set to acquire roughly $30M worth of shares of Eikon Therapeutics ( EIKN ), a cancer-focused biotech that filed for its U.S. IPO this week seeking a valuation of up to $908M, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The New Jersey-based pharma giant's investment is expected to hand it nearly a 10% stake in Eikon ( EIKN ), the people said, asking for anonymity as the information is not yet public. The offering of approximately 17.6M shares has reportedly attracted both existing and new investors. Representatives for Merck ( MRK ) and Eikon ( EIKN ) didn’t immediately reply to Bloomberg’s requests for comments. The Millbrae, California-based biotech is led by Roger Perlmutter, a former president of Merck Research Laboratories ( MRK ), and several other ex-top executives of the pharma giant.

Why these women break the law to sell their eggs for IVF toggle caption Diaa Hadid/NPR MUMBRA, India — The afternoon sun shines on the woman in a commuter-town café, highlighting her almond-shaped eyes and pale skin, a look often sought after by couples who need an egg to have a baby. "I have good eggs," she laughs — good enough that she guesses she's a biological mother to at least 30 children. The 34-year-old woman requests we withhold her full name, because to survive, she sells her eggs, which is illegal in India. NPR refers to her by "H," the initial of her first name. Producing multiple eggs isn't easy on the human body. Typically a woman in her reproductive years will release one egg a month — it's either fertilized or flushed out with her period. Sponsor Message But when H has a commission, she'll inject herself with hormones for days to stimulate her ovaries to produce 20 to 30 eggs at a time. While she's under anesthesia, a health worker inserts a long thin needle through the wall of H's vagina to retrieve those eggs from her ovaries. H says doctors who have extracted her eggs have told her that she typically produces about two dozen at a time and that they are high quality — that is, they're more likely to be fertilized. H says that, alongside her good looks, it's why she's in demand. She estimates she has undergone 30 retrievals in the past five years. Whether the number is correct or not, it's clear that she does this regularly. If each of those retrievals produced one live baby, she'd be a biological mother to at least 30 children. She thinks there are far more. She boasts: "If they've harvested 20 eggs from my body, you can assume 10 kids have popped out at least." Over the years, H has been paid a high of $800 for her eggs and a low of $280 for a yield of eggs. Even that amount is more than the monthly wage of most jobs in India. Breaking the law to survive Women selling their eggs illegally is an open secret in the Indian fertility industry. Even th...

Border czar Tom Homan speaks during a news conference about ongoing immigration enforcement operations, in Minneapolis, Jan. 29, 2026. Scott Olson | Getty Images U.S. border czar Tom Homan on Thursday said federal immigration enforcement agencies are working on a plan to reduce their massive presence in Minnesota, while broadly acknowledging problems with the Trump administration's activities there. "I'm not here because the federal government has carried its mission out perfectly," Homan said at a press conference in Minneapolis, where an aggressive surge in federal deportation efforts has stoked major civil unrest . Homan said he and President Donald Trump , "along with others in the administration, have recognized that certain improvements could and should be made." Trump on Monday sent Homan to Minneapolis to manage U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's operations. The announcement came two days after federal agents killed a second U.S. citizen, Alex Pretti, in the city during altercations that were caught on camera. Homan on Thursday said he is in conversation with state and local officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. "This is common sense cooperation that allows to draw down on the number of people we have here. Yes, I said it, draw down the number of people here," Homan said. ICE and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency are "working on a drawdown plan," he said.

Wall Street is gearing up for a borrowing bonanza to bankroll artificial intelligence projects that could push February corporate bond sales to a record, even as warnings against complacency continue to percolate across credit markets. International Business Machines Corp. is selling dollar and euro bonds after reporting quarterly sales that topped analysts’ estimates. Meta Platforms Inc. and Microsoft Corp. also posted results, freeing them up to sell bonds. US high-grade issuance for January is already approaching a record and Wall Street banks and investors are expecting new highs in the coming months as debt sales shift from banks to non-financial sectors. February and March are typically some of the busiest months for the technology, media and telecommunications sector, with the two months averaging a combined total of $44 billion in high-grade bond sales annually over the last four years, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. That’s a huge jump from an average of about $9 billion in January. The next two months will be busier than usual due an unprecedented rush to finance AI projects expected this year, according to JPMorgan credit strategist Nathaniel Rosenbaum . His team is forecasting a record $400 billion in high-grade debt issuance from the TMT sector in 2026. “The expectation of very heavy hyperscaler issuance is the base case of nearly all credit investors at this point,” Rosenbaum said in an interview. “The average high-grade issuer is a pretty savvy student of the market and is well aware that issuing when spreads are tight is usually a prudent decision.” Investors entered 2026 with so much “dry powder” that they’re still hunting for deals after a busy January, highlighting robust demand for credit that’s helped keep spreads near the lowest in three decades , according to Matt Brill , head of North America investment-grade credit at Invesco. Everybody wants to know how many of the hyperscalers will come to market, how much they want to borrow and whether...
