If you are a dividend investor looking to set yourself up with a lifetime of reliable income, consider a real estate investment trust (REIT) like Federal Realty (NYSE: FRT) . But its 4.3% dividend yield probably won't interest you nearly as much as the 12% offered by fellow REIT AGNC Investment (NASDAQ: AGNC) . Here's why AGNC could indeed set you up for life -- just not for a life of reliable div...
If you are a dividend investor looking to set yourself up with a lifetime of reliable income, consider a real estate investment trust (REIT) like Federal Realty (NYSE: FRT) . But its 4.3% dividend yield probably won't interest you nearly as much as the 12% offered by fellow REIT AGNC Investment (NASDAQ: AGNC) . Here's why AGNC could indeed set you up for life -- just not for a life of reliable dividends. If you are using dividends to pay for living expenses in retirement, you'll likely find Federal Realty very appealing. Not only is its 4.3% yield nearly four times larger than the 1.1% yield of the S&P 500 index, but it is also a touch above the 3.9% of the average REIT . The biggest selling point for this landlord focused on strip malls and mixed-use assets is its dividend history. Federal Realty has increased its dividend every year for 58 consecutive years, making it a Dividend King . That is the longest streak in the REIT sector, and it is the only Dividend King among all REITs. Continue reading

The president’s fixation on ‘piece of ice’ Greenland carries an echo of Vladimir Putin’s claims about Crimea The good news headline from Donald Trump’s trip to Davos was that he seemed to rule out force for now in his urgent quest to acquire Greenland. The bad news was: he started talking about Iceland as well. What might have been a big reveal about the next step in Trump’s imperial ambitions was more likely a slip, though all speculation about the working of the presidential brain is by now a guess at best.

In this article INTC Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan holds a wafer of CPU tiles for the Intel Core Ultra series 3, code-named Panther Lake, outside the Intel Ocotillo campus in Chandler, Arizona. Panther Lake is the first client system-on-chips (SoCs) built on the Intel 18A process node. Courtesy: Intel Wall Street is piling into Intel ahead of the chipmaker's quarterly earnings report scheduled for after the close on Thursday. The stock jumped about 10% on Wednesday to its highest since January 2022, continuing a rally that lifted it 84% last year, and bringing its gains over the past 12 months to 145%. Much of the optimism is tied to strong sales of Intel's latest server chips, which analysts say are benefitting from rising spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure. KeyBanc analysts upgraded the stock to the equivalent of a buy earlier this month, suggesting that Intel is likely sold out of server CPUs for this year, meaning prices could be on the rise. "We expect outsized data center demand from hyperscalers this year to be a significant tailwind" for Intel's data center business, the KeyBanc analysts wrote. They have a price target of $60 for the stock, which is currently trading at around $53. Intel is also getting a boost from recent indications that the company's foundry business, which is still seeking an anchor customer, could start to secure orders and become the No. 2 chip foundry behind Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and ahead of Samsung. Intel recently touted its 18A manufacturing technology, seen as equivalent to TSMC's 2 nanometer process technology. The U.S. government has become a key backer of Intel, making it the largest shareholder after an $8.9 billion investment last year, partially because it's the only American company capable of making advanced chips. Nvidia , the leading maker of AI chips and a prospective customer for Intel's factories, is one of the top shareholders in the company ...

In this article META Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Nurphoto | Nurphoto | Getty Images Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta on Wednesday said it will begin to show advertising on its Threads micro-blogging service to all users globally starting next week. "With ads on Threads, businesses can authentically join this conversation while finding new ways to connect with the people most interested in their business," the company wrote in a blog . Wall Street analysts expect Threads to become a significant revenue driver for Meta as the company monetizes the platform. The company is set to report its fourth quarter earnings results next week. Meta said the full launch will be "gradual" and potentially take a few months to roll out. The social media company first tested ads on Threads with users in the U.S. and Japan last January. Since its launch in July 2023 , Threads has been a direct competitor to Elon Musk 's X, formerly known as Twitter. Meta's service has amassed more than 400 million active monthly users globally, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in August. Earlier this month, The Verge reported that Threads had lured more daily active users worldwide than X, citing data from Similarweb. Meta said it plans to continue bringing new features to Threads. That includes new ad formats and third-party verification services that are already available on Facebook and Instagram. watch now VIDEO 9:06 09:06 Meta’s Nicola Mendelsohn on AI race and Australia’s social media ban Davos 2026: World Economic Forum Read more CNBC tech news Tech stocks lead Wall Street sell-off as tensions over Greenland escalate Most of Instagram's ads ran on Reels in 2025, data shows OpenAI to focus on 'practical adoption' in 2026, says finance chief Sarah Friar Elon Musk's xAI faces tougher road building out data centers after EPA rule update

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is making leadership changes across its global credit business, creating a new role for veteran partner Christina Minnis . Minnis will become global head of the bank’s alternatives origination group, while fellow partner Miriam Wheeler is taking over as global head of leveraged finance, according to internal memos seen by Bloomberg News. Minnis, who became a partner in 2008, will retain her duties as global head of credit and asset finance and global head of acquisition finance. She will continue to report to Pete Lyon and Mahesh Saireddy , who lead the bank’s capital solutions group. Wheeler, who has been running the bank’s commercial real estate finance group since 2023, will report to Minnis. Wheeler joined Goldman Sachs in 2005 and became a partner in 2018. With Wheeler’s move to leveraged finance, Steven Moffitt and Rajiv Kamilla , partners and global co-heads of the residential, consumer and other financial assets group, will assume additional responsibilities for the global commercial real estate finance group. A representative for the bank confirmed the contents of the two memos. Goldman Sachs ranked fourth in US leveraged finance league tables last year, carving out almost 6% of market share in revenue from deals, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

A key question is emerging as investors await President Donald Trump ’s nominee as the next Federal Reserve chair — how the candidate will manage the central bank’s $6.6 trillion balance sheet . Much of the focus has been on whether Trump’s choice will slash borrowing costs deeply, as the president has pressured current Fed Chair Jerome Powell to do for months. But the other big issue is whether the central bank should keep buying Treasury bills to maintain its balance sheet at present levels, or attempt once again to remove more liquidity from financial markets. The choice has direct consequences for major markets that are crucial for how the world’s largest financial institutions borrow and lend to each other for day to day activities. Former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh — seen as a frontrunner to land the job when Trump makes an announcement as soon as next week — has been critical of the current strategy at the central bank. “One key differentiator for Warsh is that he strongly favors a smaller Fed balance sheet,” said Wells Fargo strategist Angelo Manolatos . “However, this goal is especially complicated to achieve as the Fed ended balance-sheet runoff in December and is now expanding the size of its balance sheet.” In speeches over the past year, Warsh has argued the years of aggressive bond buying have gone too far and risk dragging the Fed into “the messy political business of fiscal policy.” Other contenders for the job have taken a more moderate view to the balance sheet. Rick Rieder , a BlackRock executive, had said the Fed should stop shrinking its holdings to avoid destabilizing funding markets. Christopher Waller , a current Fed governor, backed halting a portfolio runoff. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett ’s remarks surrounding monetary policy have centered more on interest rates than asset holdings. The next chair will have to navigate money markets that have proved sensitive to even the slightest changes in reserve conditions. A prime cas...
