chameleonseye/iStock Editorial via Getty Images PayPal: The Great Algorithmic Mistake and the Valuation Paradox with a P/E of 8 If you open the page of PayPal Holdings ( PYPL ) on any major financial aggregator today, the first thing that catches the eye is a bright-red banner warning about the high risk of further downside. Over the last year the capitalization of the company shrank by almost 35%, dropping to $40 billion, a humiliating mark for a fintech pioneer. The current price dangles in the neighborhood of $44-45 per share. On Wall Street, conventional wisdom dictates that the market is efficient and everything is priced in. The dominating narrative states the golden days of PayPal are behind it, Apple Pay ruthlessly takes away market share, the transaction margin (take rate) steadily shrinks because of the shift of focus to unbranded processing (Braintree), and the company turned into a "value trap." However, when investment decisions begin to be dictated by quantum algorithms reacting exclusively to negative price momentum (momentum) and forecast revisions (revisions), common sense often leaves the chat. Algorithms punish the stock for the fact that it ceased to be a classic story of rapid growth (growth). But they are absolutely blind to the fact that in front of us is a phenomenally profitable business, which right now trades with the multipliers of a troubled regional bank. The time has come to put aside the price charts and look at the harsh mathematics of the balance reports . PayPal Stock Overview (SA) The Illusion of Stagnation: Decoding the Income Statement You know, I think that the bearish narrative is largely built on the premise that PayPal's business hit a ceiling and began to degrade. Partly this is so, because if one looks at the dynamics of annual revenue and profit for the last five years, we will not see explosive growth there, as it was in the pandemic. But instead we will see stable indicators of resilience. In 2021, when there was wild e...

Polymarket has moved to squash some types of insider trading after the prediction markets platform came under scrutiny for suspected manipulation . The exchange updated its rules on Monday to clarify that certain kinds of trades are prohibited: users cannot act on stolen confidential information, wager using illegal tips, or bet if they are in a position to influence the outcome of an event. The changes affect Polymarket’s offshore venue, where the bulk of its trading occurs, and its fledgling US-regulated exchange. Both platforms debuted market integrity pages on Monday, providing users with information on how the rules work and ways to report suspicious activity. “Markets thrive on clarity,” Neal Kumar, Polymarket’s chief legal officer, said in a statement. “These rule enhancements make our expectations abundantly clear for every participant across both platforms and highlight the compliance infrastructure we have already built.” Polymarket and its main rival Kalshi have seen trading volumes explode since last year, driven in large part by sports-related contracts. But questions have arisen over how to monitor and prevent insider trading on everything from elections to geopolitics and sports. Earlier this month, Polymarket signed a deal with firms including Palantir Technologies Inc. to help police its sports contracts. Read More: Polymarket Iran Bets Hit $529 Million as New Wallets Win Big Polymarket has been dogged by accusations of insider activity, particularly on contracts related to geopolitics and war. Six accounts made around $1 million in profit by betting the US would strike Iran by Feb. 28. An Israeli military reservist and a civilian were indicted for allegedly using secret operational information to place Polymarket wagers on security operations last year, earning roughly $150,000.

Lock Stock/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investment thesis I am initiating Palisade Bio ( PALI ) with a speculative buy rating. In my view, Palisade Bio represents an attractive asymmetric opportunity in the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) space, which is analogous to ABIVAX ( ABVX ) back in 2023. My thesis centers on the differentiated design and potential clinical utility of the company's lead asset, PALI-2108, which is a microbiome-activated oral prodrug that targets PDE4 signaling locally within the colon. Company IR deck (Company IR deck) I believe PDE4 inhibition is a well-validated (analogs such as apremilast ) anti-inflammatory mechanism of action. However, the systemic PDE4 inhibitors historically faced major challenges around tolerability, most importantly, nausea, vomiting, and neuropsychiatric adverse events, which have limited their use and further investigations in IBD. I believe Palisade's strategy endeavors to overcome this limitation through targeted local activation of the active drug within the lower gastrointestinal tract, and if it is successful, it can retain the anticipated anti-inflammatory efficacy of PDE4 and minimize the unwanted systemic adverse events. Encouraging phase 1a/b data Company IR deck (Company IR deck) The early phase 1 studies, including a small open-label cohort in ulcerative colitis, suggest a positive signal in clinical activity and tolerability. The study was designed as a single ascending-dose and multiple-ascending-dose study, and it also demonstrated favorable pharmacokinetics consistent with targeted intestinal exposure. Furthermore, the systemic exposure levels appear low, consistent with the intended pro-drug design. PK data - company IR deck (PK data - company IR deck) Also, in a small phase 1b ulcerative colitis trial, clinical response was reported in all treated patients (5/5), and clinical remission occurred in ~40% of the patients. Most importantly, no serious adverse events were reported. On the translation...

Guido Mieth/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction The last time I covered W. P. Carey ( WPC ), I highlighted their strong AFFO growth, solid and very sustainable dividend yield, and compelling valuation, advancing on their pivot away from office real estate and focusing on industrial and retail instead. Following a strong year and continued pivot with record-breaking investment volumes and significant dispositions, WPC still trades at an attractive valuation, standing to benefit from these moves combined with eventual macro improvements and a long-term expansion into Europe. Pivot Advances With Record Investments W. P. Carey IR WPC reported a very strong Q4 and 2025 as a whole, as their pivot is paying out so far, beating the market's revenue and FFO estimates following very strong investments and issuing even better guidance than expected, with the AFFO reaching $1.098 billion throughout the year, meaning $4.97 per share, delivering a very strong 5.7% increase compared to 2024. Their portfolio recycling initiatives also advanced very well in 2025, with a record $2.1 billion in investments (26% into Europe) and a whopping ~$1.5 billion in dispositions, while the company boasted a solid 98% occupancy rate and a weighted-average lease term of 12 years, with over 370 tenants across their 1682 properties in the net lease portfolio and 11 self-storage properties that still hold a solid 87.6% average occupancy rate. For 2026, WPC expects a solid AFFO of $5.13 to $5.23 per share, expecting a smaller investment volume of $1.25 billion to $1.75 billion against $250 million to a massive $750 million in dispositions, continuing their pivot and portfolio recycling into better-rate properties. Compared to 2025's level, this would mark another solid ~4.23% increase on a per share basis, which remains very solid given the current environment. W. P. Carey IR Based on WPC's latest report , we can see a solid financial position, although the debt remains somewhat elevated compa...

If a company, particularly one that operates in the otherwise boring and slow-moving financial services industry, has seen its revenue soar 133% in three years, it's clearly doing something right. That's the best way to describe SoFi Technologies (SOFI +2.37%). The digital banking superstar ended 2025 with almost 13.7 million customers. Product innovation has been a key pillar of SoFi's success, and in recent months, this core competency has been on full display. This fintech stock just proved that the ultimate cryptocurrency has a clear use case. Giving its members another tool to better handle their finances SoFi tapped Lightspark, a payments start-up founded in 2022 by former Meta Platforms executive David Marcus, to enable cross-border payments for its customers. Lightspark provides the back-end infrastructure, while SoFi Pay users can leverage this exciting capability. This feature leans on the Bitcoin (BTC +3.70%) Lightning network, a Layer-2 protocol that allows for fast and cheap transactions to occur. What stands out with this is that SoFi doesn't necessarily need to be bullish on Bitcoin. The management team simply picked what it thought was the most capable technological solution that could rapidly integrate and scale up. Since it was introduced in August last year, SoFi Pay now facilitates remittances to over 30 countries. At a high level, the person sending the money and the person receiving the money deal with their own respective local currencies. Underneath the hood, SoFi and Lightspark handle the conversion to and from Bitcoin. Besides how easy the feature is to use, SoFi could save its customers a lot of money. In 2024, $138 billion of remittances were sent from the U.S. to India, for example. Money-transfer services charge average fees that can be well above 5% of the value being sent.

"Far-Right" AfD Party Makes Historic Gains In German State Elections Only a year ago, the AfD was the target of an orchestrated media smear campaign , not to mention leftist government attempts to ban the party from elections. The same tactics have been used to stifle conservative and nationalist movements across Europe, but these movements are proving to be resilient. The latest Le Pen success story in France's small town areas runs in tandem with the latest news from Germany. In the recent Rhineland-Palatinate state election, the Christian Democrats have, according to projections, won just over 30% of the vote and are well ahead of the leftist Social Democrats . However, the AfD is quickly catching up to the CDU, nearly doubling their seats in the same election with 20% of the voter share. For reference, CDU is a mainstream center-right party that supports strong EU integration, social market economy, NATO alliances, and has governed for decades. AfD is a right-wing populist movement that demands the EU reform, near-zero immigration, and prioritizes German national sovereignty over international commitments. 🚨 BREAKING: Germany's right-wing anti-Islamic migration party just SURGED in tonight's West Germany state elections, making a SURPRISING +11 point gain AfD has nearly DOUBLED its seats from just a few years ago Take your country BACK from the 3rd world! pic.twitter.com/SgA4JtClTY — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) March 22, 2026 The biggest gains went to the AfD, which, according to projections, comes in third. All three governing parties (SPD, Greens, and FDP) suffered significant losses. The CDU and Left Party’s enjoyed small gains of two to three percentage points. Meanwhile the AfD’s jump of more than eleven points is striking. The AfD is clearly established as Germany's second-strongest party at the national level with 152 seats total . These gains position the right-wing populists as a strong opposition force and Party leader Alice Weidel is already promisin...

Industrial companies such as Boeing and retailers including Costco Wholesale Corporation — even insurers such as Allstate Corporation — could win big if energy prices start to ease, according to JPMorgan. West Texas Intermediate futures fell more than 7% Monday after President Donald Trump said the U.S. and Iran had "productive" talks on the war in the Middle East, and promised to halt all U.S. strikes on energy infrastructure for five days. JPMorgan recently calculated which companies stand to gain the most from lower energy costs, for themselves and their customers. The bank screened for stocks with the greatest inverse correlation to oil prices, based on relative returns to the S & P 500 across various industries, and found these: Delta Air Lines is nearly 4% higher Monday. The stock initially fell more than 10% in response to the start of the Iran war — before recovering after the first two weeks of the conflict — on that it will be hurt by costlier jet fuel and weaker travel demand. Kate Spade and Coach owner Tapestry jumped more than 4% Monday after dropping 9% since the Middle East war began, through Friday. Tapestry has been pressured by a concern that consumer spending will narrow as energy costs rise, shrinking demand for affordable luxury providers. Las Vegas Sands is another potential winner, JPMorgan said. The casino resort owner added more than 3% Monday, in tandem with other hotel companies that advanced on optimism that an economic downturn will be avoided.
