Brent crude fell more than 6% to below $98 a barrel. Tehran has yet to comment on the 15-point peace plan put forward by the US, undercutting the cautious optimism in markets. Iran continued missile and drone attacks on Arab Gulf states and Israel overnight. Citadel Securities posted a record $12.2 billion in trading revenue last year, as the market-making arm of billionaire Ken Griffin’s empire continues in its bid to compete with the largest trading desks globally. Two of the biggest names in private credit, Ares and Apollo, blocked investors from getting even half of the money they wanted out of their funds. It’s the latest sign of mounting strain in the $1.8 trillion market. The ECB will “not be paralyzed by hesitation” if higher energy costs risk a broader bout of inflation , according to Christine Lagarde. For now, the central bank is still assessing the fallout from the war. Day trader fatigue Retail investors, the most reliable dip buyers in the US stock market, might be turning into sellers. Mom-and-pop traders on Monday notched their first day of net selling of single stocks since 2023, dumping $20.6 million worth of shares, data from Vanda Research shows. That came as the S&P 500 rallied after President Trump eased back on his Iran rhetoric. Demand from this segment had been subsiding steadily as the Iran conflict drags on. And though they were back to buying on Tuesday, the hint of ebbing enthusiasm from a group that’s pounced on every pullback over the past few years is worrisome.

In this article HMC SONY Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Sony Honda Mobility CEO Yasuhide Mizuno speaks at a news conference in Tokyo, on Oct. 13, 2022. Sony and Honda's joint mobility venture unveiled a new EV prototype in January. Kiyoshi Ota | Bloomberg | Getty Images Sony Honda Mobility , the joint venture between Japanese electronics giant Sony and automaker Honda , on Wednesday said it would stop developing its Afeela electric vehicles, citing Honda's strategy reassessment for EVs. The move follows Honda's move to overhaul its EV business for which the carmaker flagged a writedown of as much as 2.5 trillion yen ($15.7 billion) earlier this month. The JV said the decision left it without a viable path to bring the Afeela models to market. Sony Honda Mobility will issue full refunds to customers who made reservations for what was supposed to be its first model, the Afeela 1, in California, it said in a statement. It added that it would continue discussions with Sony and Honda regarding its future plans. The JV had been expected to begin deliveries of the Afeela 1 in California late this year and had sought to launch a second model based on a newer prototype as early as 2028. It began taking orders for the Afeela 1 last year, with prices starting at $89,900. In a statement, Honda said the impact from the move on its revised full-year consolidated financial forecasts for the fiscal year ending this month was expected to be immaterial. Sony said it did not expect the discontinuation to have a material impact on its financial situation. The venture was formed to combine Honda's experience in engineering and building vehicles with Sony's software and gaming expertise to catch up with EV rivals.

gentlelight/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis Aeluma ( ALMU ) is a company looking to take advantage of photonic tailwinds by changing the manufacturing process. This advantage comes from their heterogeneous integration which allows compound semiconductors to be made on standard silicon wafers. This has the potential to reduce the cost of technology significantly and is already compatible with existing infrastructure. The company has shown proof of this technology's application through multiple R&D contracts and a commercial partnership with Thorlabs. Demand from AI data centers, defense, quantum computing, and LiDAR creates a large market opportunity. Although they are currently generating revenue from government contracts and sampling with customers, the technology has been proven. Management has signaled a manufacturing ramp-up in recent earnings calls, with new hires that have experience in scaling operations. Right now, the stock trades at ~40x revenue, but that multiple could compress quickly in the coming years as they begin to scale. With demand tailwinds, market opportunity, and a strong patent portfolio (creating barriers to entry), I'm rating this stock a Buy. Technology Most consumer chips are made from silicon, which is cheap and the foundation of electronics. However, silicon has some limitations, such as efficiently emitting light. For things like lasers, photodetectors, high-speed optical communications, and quantum photonics, a better choice is compound semiconductors. These are made of different materials like indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs), gallium arsenide (GaAs), and indium phosphide (InP). Unlike silicon, these have better photonic and electronic properties. The one problem is that the technology is hard to scale, with manufacturing requiring specialized parts. This is where Aeluma comes in, with heterogeneous integration , allowing manufacturing of products like these to be done at scale. By growing the substrates directly onto stand...

Vessels seeking to transit the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian protection are being asked to provide lists of crew and cargo, along with voyage details and bills of lading, in order to secure a green light from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The process is still idiosyncratic and can vary from ship to ship, according to accounts from people familiar with the trade, but it points to Iran’s increasing efforts to assert control over the vital maritime channel with a semi-formal system as the conflict in the Persian Gulf extends into its fourth week. Iran has requested payments from some but not all ships, according to the people, asking not to be named given the sensitivity of the discussions. These demands — channeled through intermediaries, and of differing size — are generally reserved for oil tankers, gas carriers or other vessels with high-value cargoes, they said. Since US and Israeli strikes began almost a month ago, only a trickle of vessels have made it through the waterway, many of them Iranian or China-linked tankers. Those making it through with apparent protection from Tehran have mostly followed a similar route, hewing close to Iran’s coastline . Iran said in a communique earlier this week that navigation continued for vessels from friendly nations “in co-ordination with the competent Iranian authorities.” While Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has said Iran should keep the strait shut, the letter said the waterway remained open and “traffic has not been suspended.” The IRGC said on Tuesday that it had turned back a container ship for failing to comply with legal protocols and lacking permission to transit the strait.

Thomas Barwick/DigitalVision via Getty Images Office-focused real estate investment trust (“REIT”), Piedmont Realty Trust, Inc. ( PDM ), is one office operator that I continue to remain bullish on despite the continuing slump in the stock value. The stock has lost over 60% of its value over the last five years. PDM also did away with its quarterly dividend payout, leaving investors with very little to grasp onto apart from patience for an eventual rebound. Seeking Alpha - 5-YR Share Price Performance Of PDM Stock I have provided continuously bullish coverage on PDM in the past, and though the stock hasn’t performed to my expectations, I still believe long-term investors will be rewarded with sizeable upside. While that timetable for recovery is uncertain, PDM’s operating results suggest the recovery is overdue, in my view. PDM Stock Key Metrics In its most recent investor presentation in March 2026, PDM provided a core funds from operations (“FFO”) range of $1.47–$1.53/share. At the midpoint, current share pricing would indicate a 4.4x forward multiple . In my view, this is incredibly cheap for both the sector and the overall real estate market. Seeking Alpha - Valuation Metrics Of PDM Stock Shares grade as an “A” on valuation by the Seeking Alpha (“SA”) quants, and for good reason. Office-based peers such as SL Green Realty Corp. ( SLG ) and Vornado Realty Trust ( VNO ), for example, trade at multiples of 8.5x and 11x, respectively. PDM trades at just a fraction of these NYC-based peers. Seeking Alpha - Valuation Metrics Of PDM Compared To Peers The analyst communities are similarly bullish, with those on Wall Street especially so. The caveat, however, is that the stock is lightly covered by both the SA and Wall Street communities. Nonetheless, it’s still worth noting that consensus targets see about 45% upside potential in the stock. That’s eye-catching for sure. But what is, perhaps, even more surprising is that even if PDM reaches this potential, it would still ...
