Key Points There are endless amounts of crypto tokens to explore for your portfolio. The best-performing crypto assets are the ones with real-world utility. Crypto tokens that have the ability to revolutionize financial services could be a winning long-term investment. 10 stocks we like better than Chainlink › Over the past decade, investors have become increasingly open-minded about complementing their stock positions with cryptocurrency. Perhaps the biggest influence behind crypto's mainstream acceptance are the astronomical gains seen in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) -- which have surged nearly 23,000% and 128,000% over the last 10 years. Investors are interested and looking for the next breakout candidate. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » In my view, Chainlink (CRYPTO: LINK) could be the next cryptocurrency to go parabolic. Let's explore what makes Chainlink unique and assess why it could be a winning investment in the long run. What is Chainlink? At its core, Chainlink is an oracle coin. This is a fancy way of saying that Chainlink provides the infrastructure to ensure smart contracts receive accurate data between different blockchain networks. While Chainlink's value proposition may seem mundane, the company's role within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem should not be taken for granted. Much like how a Bloomberg terminal provides the nuts and bolts of financial infrastructure for bankers or how the SWIFT network secures payment settlements at a global scale, Chainlink has the potential to become an influential tool for the next generation of AI-powered financial systems. Why is Chainlink important? Chainlink stands to benefit from the movement toward real-world tokenization as well as accelerating investment in AI infrastructure. With more asset classes moving on-chain, financial institutions will...

Earnings Call Insights: ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) Q4 2025 Management View Christophe Fouquet, President, CEO and Chair of the Board of Management, highlighted a “record quarter, record year, record booking,” attributing the surge to strengthening AI-driven demand across both advanced logic and memory. Fouquet stated, “The last 3 months have really clarified basically at least the horizon for 2026 and most probably a bit beyond that.” He emphasized that “AI will have also this effect basically to really drive our entire product portfolio in the coming years.” Fouquet noted that 2026 is positioned as a “big year for EUV,” with increased shipments expected. The CEO also discussed the acceleration of lithography intensity, citing that “the number of layers of EUV increasing basically at our key customer,” which signals a greater need for advanced lithography tools.

Earnings Call Insights: Littelfuse (LFUS) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Gregory Henderson announced the closing of the Basler Electric acquisition in December, describing it as a key move to strengthen Littelfuse's high-power capabilities and expand its presence in grid and utility infrastructure and data centers. He highlighted, "Basler strengthens our high-power capabilities and expands our position in key growth markets, including grid and utility infrastructure and data center." Henderson noted, "We delivered strong performance with year-over-year revenue growth of 12%. Across our businesses, we continue to drive momentum in our high-growth markets." He pointed to double-digit revenue growth in data center, grid and utility infrastructure, and renewables. Automotive posted mid-single digit growth despite a decline in global vehicle production. Henderson also mentioned "emerging signs of broad-based industrial recovery into 2026." Henderson shared that Littelfuse's 2025 design wins increased double digit compared to the prior year, especially in grid and data center segments, and emphasized the strategic focus on next-generation high-power architectures. The CEO revealed a go-to-market sales force realignment, stating, "Our new go-to-market evolution is live, and we're seeing the early signs of success following our sales force realignment, which is now market-facing, customer-centric and focused on solving our customers' most complex challenges with our complete technology portfolio."

CFO Abhishek Khandelwal stated, "We delivered strong results as revenue in the quarter was $594 million, up 12% and up 7% organically. The Dortmund and Basler acquisition contributed 3% to sales growth, while FX was a 2% tailwind. Adjusted EBITDA margin finished at 20.5%, up 480 ba...

Amazon said affected staff will get redeployment options and severance, while stressing the cuts are not the start of regular mass layoffs. / Credit: The Image Party via Shutterstock Amazon is cutting around 16 000 corporate jobs worldwide in a major workforce restructuring announced on 28 January 2026, the company confirmed in an internal memo to staff. The reduction is part of a broader plan that could see close to 30 000 white-collar roles eliminated by mid-2026 as Amazon seeks to streamline its organisation after rapid pandemic-era expansion. The decision affects teams across key units including cloud computing, retail, human resources and media, and comes amid broader industry layoffs across large tech firms. The scale and rationale behind the job cuts Amazon’s internal message, shared by Beth Galetti, senior vice-president of People Experience and Technology, said plainly that “the reductions we are making today will impact approximately 16,000 roles across Amazon” and emphasised support for those affected. The company has framed the move as part of a long-term organisational reset rather than a short-term cost-cutting exercise. Amazon’s leadership has previously described efforts to reduce layers of bureaucracy and to improve decision-making speed as key drivers behind the cuts. In the memo, Galetti referred to this ongoing restructuring, noting that earlier organisational changes had not been completed in some teams until now.

Earnings Call Insights: Navient Corporation (NAVI) Q4 2025 Management View David L. Yowan, President and CEO, announced several leadership changes including the appointment of Steve Hauber as Chief Financial Officer and the ongoing search for a fintech-experienced CFO at Earnest. Yowan stated, "Steve's appointment is part of a broader set of changes that better align our management structure with the business strategy for Earnest and Navient that we shared in November." The company completed Phase 1 of its transformation, surpassing its $400 million expense reduction goal. Yowan reported, "These operating expense reductions increase our already substantial future life of loan cash flows by $2 billion cumulatively, providing increased financial flexibility and even greater levels of capital for new growth." The transfer of the in-school lending business from Earnest to Navient is complete, consolidating all education activities under one umbrella. Earnest achieved record refi originations in Q4, totaling $634 million, with full-year refi originations at $2.1 billion. In-school lending reached an all-time high of $401 million in new loans. 2026 targets include $4 billion in total loan originations, representing about 60% growth over 2025, with refi and in-school lending each expected to grow over 50%. Yowan addressed additional provision in the private legacy portfolio, noting, "While this provision has a significant impact on reported earnings per share, the effect on the life of loan cash we expect to receive from the legacy portfolios is immaterial." CFO Stephen Hauber stated, "In total, core earnings per share for the fourth quarter were $0.02. On a full year basis, we reported core loss per share of $0.35." Outlook Navient is targeting $4 billion in total loan originations for 2026, with expectations for over 50% growth in both refi and in-school lending products and less than $100 million for personal lending as the pilot continues. Hauber stated, "We expect exp...

New York, January 28, 2026, 11:05 EST — Regular session Oracle shares climbed roughly 0.5% in late-morning trading, recovering slightly after a steep decline the previous day Company attributes TikTok disruptions to a power outage at a data center caused by severe weather Mid-March earnings will give investors a sharper picture of cloud demand and spending trends Oracle shares climbed 0.5% to $175.76 by late morning Wednesday, clawing back some of Tuesday’s losses amid new developments around its data centers. The Nasdaq-100 tracking Invesco QQQ fund edged up roughly 0.3%. Oracle’s stock has been volatile as the company navigates a major transition in corporate computing—from owning servers to leasing cloud capacity. This shift comes with hefty costs, and investors have swiftly reacted to any hints of trouble, whether outages or rising expenses. Oracle spokesperson Michael Egbert told Reuters in an email that “Over the weekend, an Oracle data center experienced a temporary weather-related power outage which impacted TikTok,” following reports of problems from users of the short-video app. California Governor Gavin Newsom tied the outage to claims of content suppression targeting President Donald Trump and said his office is reviewing TikTok’s moderation policies. Last week, ByteDance sealed a deal to form a majority U.S.-owned joint venture, with Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX each holding 15% stakes while ByteDance retains 19.9%. (Reuters) Oracle shares fell 4.1% on Tuesday, ending at $174.90 and erasing much of Monday’s advance. The stock is still roughly 49% off its September 10 peak of $345.72. (MarketWatch) Oracle revealed on Tuesday that Saudi developer Red Sea Global has chosen its Aconex Cloud and Primavera P6 software for construction planning and collaboration. The deployment will cover over 23,000 users, the company said. “Red Sea Global is setting a new benchmark for digital transformation in large-scale hospitality destination projects,” s...
Starbucks' quarterly results on Wednesday showed proof that CEO Brian Niccol's brand revival is working, sending shares to their highest levels in almost a year.

Starbucks' quarterly results on Wednesday showed proof that CEO Brian Niccol's brand revival is working, sending shares to their highest levels in almost a year. Revenue in the three months ended Dec. 28 totaled $9.92 billion, up 5.5% year over year and beating the consensus estimate of $9.67 billion, according to LSEG data. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at 56 cents, slightly below expectations of 59 cents, LSEG data showed. On an annual basis, adjusted EPS fell 19%. Comparable store sales, a key restaurant industry metric, rose 4%, well ahead of the FactSet consensus of 2.3% growth. Shares of Starbucks were up more than 3% at around 10:30 a.m. ET, trading at nearly $99 apiece. At its high of the day of $104.82, the stock was at levels last seen in early March 2025. SBUX 1Y mountain Starbucks' stock performance over the past 12 months. Bottom line Our faith in Niccol is being rewarded. The turnaround artist who joined Starbucks in September 2024 after a brilliant tenure at Chipotle pledged to return the coffee chain to its former glory. The numbers reported Wednesday morning demonstrate he's doing just that. "Brian Niccol has cracked the code," Jim Cramer said. The key metric is comparable store sales — often called comps or same-store sales — to measure the performance of locations open for at least 13 months. It's the holy grail in restaurants. And here, Starbucks crushed the estimates. While we liked the global comps up 4%, the U.S. performance particularly stands out because the home market has been the focus of Niccol's efforts. U.S. comps increased a better-than-expected 4%, driven by a 1% increase in average ticket and 3% increase in comparable transactions. It's the first time in 2 years that Starbucks has seen an increase in comparable transactions. In other words, more people are ordering their Starbucks again, both rewards program members — now at a record 35.5 million people — and non-rewards members. On the earnings call, Niccol said this wa...

Mexico will continue sending aid shipments of crude oil to Cuba, in a potential clash with Donald Trump’s pledge to deprive the impoverished island of such energy assistance. President Claudia Sheinbaum , who described the shipments as humanitarian in nature, told reporters the oil exports to communist-run Cuba and other unspecified countries would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. “The humanitarian aid will continue, as it does to other countries,” she said. “We have to determine it based on the requests,” Sheinbaum added. For years, Sheinbaum’s leftist Morena party has emphasized its solidarity with Cuba and continued Mexico’s decades-long oil diplomacy to the Caribbean island. The Mexican leader’s latest comments reiterating her support for the Cuban oil aid come after state-owned Pemex removed a cargo destined for Cuba from its schedule earlier this month. The ship was set to load its crude cargo in mid-January and would have docked in Cuba before the end of the month, according to a company document obtained by Bloomberg News. Read More: Mexico Shelves Planned Shipment of Oil to Cuba Amid US Tensions Earlier this month, Trump announced that no more oil or money would be going to Cuba, though he didn’t explain how the restrictions would be enforced. Trump’s move to tighten the pressure on the longtime US foe came after he flexed his military muscle in the region by capturing Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro in a shock early morning raid. Mexico’s oil shipments are “a sovereign decision, and Pemex makes its own decisions,” Sheinbaum stressed earlier this week. “Cuba has experienced blockades which have generated shortages and Mexico has always been supportive.”

Shares of memory and storage chipmakers surged sharply on Wednesday after Seagate Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:STX) delivered a major earnings beat, extending an already explosive rally fueled by a global storage supply crunch as AI-driven demand continues to crowd out available capacity. Seagate jumped more than 15% after reporting blockbuster quarterly results that topped Wall Street expectations across the board. The rally quickly spilled over to peers. Since its February 2025 initial public offering, Sandisk has surged more than 1,330%, matching the returns Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) delivered since November 2022, when ChatGPT launched. Chart: Sandisk Matched Nvidia’s Returns Since ChatGPT In Less Than A Year As Memory Chip Crisis Worsens Seagate Smashed Earnings Expectations – What You Need To Know Seagate reported earnings per share of $3.11, well above expectations of $2.83. From a year earlier, earnings jumped 53%. Revenue reached $2.83 billion, topping the $2.74 billion consensus estimate and rising 21% year over year. Margins also surprised to the upside, with gross margin coming in at 42.2%. The company guided for even stronger numbers ahead. For the current quarter, Seagate expects $2.90 billion in revenue at the midpoint, far ahead of the Street’s $2.81 billion. Operating EPS is projected at $3.40—above the consensus estimate of $3.03. In a note on Wednesday, Goldman Sachs analyst James Schneider raised his price target on the stock from $310 to $385. AI Boom Fuels Tight Supply, Firm Pricing "Management noted that its production capacity is now sold out for 2026, and it expects key hyperscaler customers to begin placing orders for 2027 in the near future," Schneider said. The tight supply-demand dynamic has allowed the firm to raise prices per terabyte and boost margins, with management forecasting sequential EPS and revenue growth through 2026. “Seagate reported a modest increase in price per Terabyte in the quarter, and management expects a further increas...

Not content with haemorrhaging MPs to Reform, Kemi decides to drive others into the arms of the Lib Dems UK politics live – latest updates A minute’s silence for Kemi Badenoch. Thoughts and prayers welcome. The Tory party leader just can’t help herself. Every time you think that, just maybe, she is beginning to get the hang of the job, she comes up with something so deranged, so batshit that you can only sit back and admire the self-destruction. Almost as if she can’t bear any idea of success. Bewilderingly, sabotaging herself seems to be her default coping mechanism. Someone who can only find satisfaction in annihilating her own party. Sometimes you even wonder if she has ever been a Tory. Like so much of Kemi’s behaviour, this was all totally avoidable. There was no need for her to do or say anything. With Keir Starmer away in China, this was a week off for her from prime minister’s questions. A slot she would delegate to the even more useless Andrew Griffith. Clearly Badenoch does not welcome any competition so Griffith might get the deputy leader job for good. Continue reading...

Don't Miss: The AI Marketing Platform Backed by Insiders from Google, Meta, and Amazon — Invest at $0.85/Share If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it? Counterpoint Research projects that AI server compute ASIC shipments among the top 10 hyperscalers will triple between 2024 and 2027, fueled by surging demand for Google's Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) infrastructure supporting Gemini, continued scaling of AWS Trainium clusters, and volume ramps from Meta Platforms Inc.'s (NASDAQ:META) MTIA and Microsoft's Maia chips as they build out internal silicon portfolios. Broadcom Leads, Competition Intensifies Counterpoint expects Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO) to remain the top AI server compute ASIC design partner, holding about 60% market share in 2027, despite competition from the growing Google–MediaTek alliance. At the same time, the firm sees Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MRVL) facing design-win pressure, with its design services share projected to slip to around 8% in 2027, despite shipments doubling over the same period.
