My top 10 things to watch Friday, March 20 1. Stock futures are down this morning as oil works its way back up after a brief move lower on Thursday. The major averages are pacing for their fourth losing week in a row, with the S & P 500 and Dow down 0.4% and 1.2%, respectively, and the Nasdaq Composite off by 0.1%. Friday is a quadruple witching event — the quarterly expiration of stock options, index options, index futures, and single-stock futures — which could add some volatility. 2. Dell is the big winner from the fallout over the Super Micro Computer investigation. U.S. prosecutors on Thursday charged Super Micro employees, including a co-founder, with smuggling Nvidia chips to China. Shares of Super Micro fell more than 26%; Dell is up roughly 4%. 3. FedEx has much more earnings power than thought, as the restructuring shines through. Pharma and the data center are good businesses. Europe is relatively strong. Costs to unload are lower. Supply chain management is superb. Freight spinoff on time. Shares popped 9%. Would be up even bigger if the overall market wasn't down. Is UPS the loser? 4. Mizuho cut its price target on Alibaba to $190 from $195 but kept its buy rating. The firm cited soft demand and investments in AI. Alibaba is launching its own version of the OpenClaw AI platform. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told me this week that OpenClaw is "definitely the next ChatGPT." 5. Big call: Mizuho sees an inflection at Chipotle , goes to buy from hold, and raises its PT by a few bucks. CMG. Analysts see positive catalysts, citing strong channel checks, traffic, and comp upside. Stock valuation is "overly pessimistic." 6. McCormick in talks to buy London-listed Unilever food business, valued at about $33 billion, Reuters reports . The U.S. spice maker is less than half the size of that division, with a market cap of $14.5 billion. 7. Verizon PT lifted to $55 from $50 at Citi, which noted streamlining cost structure and return to growth. Maintained buy rating. 8. Gu...

tracielouise/E+ via Getty Images Titan Machinery Inc. ( TITN ) reported the company’s fiscal Q4 results from the November-January period on the 19 th of March. The agricultural and construction equipment retailer continues to struggle with a downturn in the agricultural industry. A recovery isn’t happening in 2026 yet, in my opinion, now making the investment unattractive. Prolonged, significant losses and high debt cause high volatility. I maintained a Hold rating in my previous November 2025 article on the stock, titled “ Titan Machinery: The Agriculture Industry's Struggles Continue. ” The stock has since lost -24% of its value, while the S&P 500 has declined by -3%. My Rating History on TITN (Seeking Alpha) Titan Machinery Q4 Review Titan Machinery’s financials are still incredibly volatile. The fiscal Q4 report beat Wall Street’s revenue consensus but missed EPS expectations, as profitability hasn’t recovered very well. Total revenues declined by -15.5% year-on-year to $641.8 million as Titan Machinery sold inventory aggressively in the comparison period. The adjusted net loss came in at -$32.5 million, improving by $12.4 million year-on-year. The largest agriculture segment continues to cause worry. Same-store sales declined by -22.8% for the quarter, resulting in segment revenues of $406.7 million and a pre-tax loss of -$9.9 million. The sharp revenue downturn has only continued to deepen. At the same time, bloated and aged equipment inventory and weak retail demand in the agriculture segment have required Titan Machinery to continue to sell equipment at weak margins. The consolidated gross margin came in at only 13.5%, reflecting a notable decline from previous quarters in FY2026. The agriculture segment’s year-on-year earnings comparison is positive, as the pre-tax loss was cut by $45.4 million, but only because Titan Machinery sold equipment at especially aggressive pricing a year ago in Q4’FY2025 to reduce inventory. On an absolute level, agriculture earn...

Shipping risk been insured by Lloyd’s of London for more than 330 years, but now the centuries-old heart of maritime insurance is getting to grips with the most modern of threats – drones and missiles threatening hundreds of vessels stuck in the Gulf region amid the escalating Middle East conflict. For nearly three weeks, the crucial strait of Hormuz has effectively been closed to the more than 100 gas and oil tankers and container ships that usually pass through each day. Pressure is building to find a way to safely reopen the narrow maritime channel to allow the estimated 1,000 vessels and their crews – mainly oil and gas tankers but also container ships – currently trapped in the Gulf to continue their journeys, restarting the global flow of fuel, chemicals and goods. A total of 23 vessels had been attacked between the start of the war and Thursday, according to analysts from Lloyd’s List Intelligence, including near-misses and those which have sustained minor damage. Several crew members have been killed. Lloyd’s of London insists shipping insurance has remained available throughout the conflict at the “right price”, even though brokers have conceded there has been little demand for the strait in recent days. The vast majority of shipowners have chosen to leave their vessels anchored in the Gulf or waiting in the region’s ports. For Lloyd’s, this is just the latest crisis in centuries of global turmoil. The insurance market’s roots stretch back to a London coffee house owned by Edward Lloyd in 1688, where sailors, merchants and shipowners met to exchange maritime gossip. The centrepiece of the underwriting room within the distinctive Richard Rogers-designed marketplace on London’s Lime Street is the bell salvaged from the wreck of the HMS Lutine after it sank off the Dutch coast in 1799 with its cargo of gold and silver insured by Lloyd’s. Since then, Lloyd’s experienced its greatest maritime loss after the Titanic sank in 1912, insured risks during the second w...

Over the past two decades, some leading tech companies, such as Amazon (AMZN 0.47%), Microsoft (MSFT 0.64%), and Netflix (NFLX 3.10%), have produced life-changing returns. Many investors missed the boat, but the good news is that these three industry leaders still have plenty of growth fuel. Here's why Amazon, Microsoft, and Netflix are still worth investing in right now and holding onto for the next 20 years. 1. Amazon Amazon is the leader in U.S. e-commerce and global cloud computing. The company generates consistent revenue and earnings and benefits from a wide moat from several sources, including its brand name and network effects in e-commerce, as well as switching costs in cloud computing. Amazon's competitive edge should allow it to maintain its position in its core markets, which will expand over the next two decades.

Sempra SRE benefits from systematic investments in infrastructure development, enabling it to meet rising electricity demand and better serve customers. Strong returns on these investments are expected to drive long-term earnings growth at the high end or above its 7-9% target range through 2030. However, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company faces risks from counterparty defaults and exposure to tariffs and foreign supply chains, which could pressure its financial performance. Factors Acting in Favor of SRE Sempra is well positioned with its strategically located opportunities in North America, with the United States being the leading exporter of LNG worldwide. Sempra Infrastructure’s LNG business line remains focused on securely delivering natural gas to the world in support of the energy transition. It is currently developing a handful of natural gas liquefaction export projects. As of December 2025, the company made steady progress in construction at its ECA LNG Phase 1 and Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 projects. Its ECA LNG Phase 1 project, with a nameplate export capacity of approximately 3 million tons per annum (Mtpa) of LNG, has reached mechanical completion. Sempra expects to reach completion in the spring of 2026. Sempra is systematically investing in infrastructure to support rising electricity demand, driven in part by the rapid expansion of AI-driven data centers across the United States. A majority of SRE’s capital expenditures are targeted toward improving the company’s transmission and distribution generation. During 2025, the company invested $13 billion, which was used for transmission and distribution improvements at its regulated public utilities, with more than $10 billion toward its growing U.S. utilities. The company plans to invest $65 billion during the 2026-2029 period, indicating a 17% increase from the previous year’s plan. Challenges Faced by SRE Sempra Infrastructure faces risks from doing business with PEMEX and CFE, Mexican state-owned enterpr...

Geopolitical instability across the globe has been a major catalyst for the growth of defense giants, such as Lockheed Martin LMT and Northrop Grumman NOC. Both are leading U.S. aerospace & defense contractors that compete directly for major government and military contracts, particularly in advanced weapons systems, aircraft and defense technology. When agencies like the U.S. Department of Defense or allied governments launch significant, strategic programs to upgrade military capabilities, both companies are typically qualified to compete. These programs often involve multi-billion-dollar, long-term contracts to develop cutting-edge systems that enhance surveillance, deterrence and combat effectiveness. The two companies frequently submit competing bids, each leveraging its technological expertise, past performance and cost efficiency to win projects that are critical for national security and defense modernization. Let's compare the two stocks' fundamentals to determine which one is better positioned at present. The Standpoint of LMT Lockheed Martin benefits from its dominant position as one of the largest U.S. defense contractors, with a platform-based strategy that drives recurring orders across multiple military branches. LMT was successful in clinching several notable deals in the fourth quarter of 2025. These include a contract for 18 space vehicles for its Tranche 3 Tracking Layer (TRKT3) constellation, with a potential value of more than $1 billion. The company also clinched a $233 million contract to deliver IRST21 Block II systems and initial spares to the U.S. Navy and Air National Guard. Order flows from the Navy and Air National Guard built a robust backlog of $193.6 billion as of Dec. 31, 2025. The F-35 program continues to be a key growth program for the company’s Aeronautics business segment. This program generated approximately 27% of Lockheed Martin’s consolidated net sales in 2025. The company has delivered 1,293 F-35 airplanes since the program...

1 Future of the head coach The Rugby Football Union’s review into England’s least successful championship for 50 years is already up and running with an alacrity that would impress Louis Bielle-Biarrey. And one detail seems clear: barring something spectacular, Steve Borthwick will still be coaching the team this summer. As one well-placed insider put it: “This review is about supporting Steve to make improvements. If change is needed change is needed but it’s not about punishing him. He’s absolutely going to be in post this summer, there’s no question about that.” That said, a wide range of feedback is being sought, including from senior and younger players, to get to the bottom of England’s fifth-placed finish and painful defeats by Scotland, Ireland and Italy. “It’s a proper under the bonnet, lifting-up-the-rocks exploration of what happened after the first game,” says another source. “What happened in those three weeks? Is it cultural, is it environmental, is it selection, is it tactics?” It is widely believed the players demanded a greater say after the Italy game and the improvement in Paris was conspicuous. But as Exeter’s director of rugby Rob Baxter emphasises, blaming one or two individuals misses the point. “The reality is that it’s never one thing that’s the problem. It’s never that one player was missing, say, or the tournament buildup was wrong. Finishing fifth is down to a collection of things that have slowly added up and then multiplied. I think that’s probably where England are.” 2 Strategic vision The outcome of the review won’t be formally announced before mid-April but high up the list of questions is whether – yet again – the blend of England’s assistant coaches needs reassessing. As Sale Sharks’ director of rugby, Alex Sanderson, puts it: “They’ve got quite a wide coaching team there, a lot of cooks – not ‘spoil the broth’ but there’s a lot of opinions to take in. That may be a factor.” A clear disconnect also frequently existed in the Six Nat...

4 stocks to watch on Friday: LLY, AMZN, NVS, UL MSN

Stock index futures reversed their gains on Friday even as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said the country is helping to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Here are the four stocks to watch on the day: Eli Lilly ( LLY ) slipped 0.3% in premarket trading after the U.K.'s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence announced it will reevaluate its decision to exclude two Alzheimer’s drugs from the country’s National Health Service. The review follows successful appeals from Eli Lilly and Biogen/Eisai after NICE determined in 2024 that the use of donanemab from Lilly and lecanemab from Biogen/Eisai would not be a cost-effective use of taxpayer money. Amazon ( AMZN ) fell 0.50% in premarket trade as reports emerged that the company is preparing another attempt at a smartphone after its failed Fire Phone launch in 2014. The latest effort, known internally as “Transformer,” is being developed within Amazon’s devices and services unit, according to a Reuters report citing four people familiar with the matter. Novartis ( NVS ) rose 1.05% in premarket trading after announcing an agreement to acquire an experimental breast cancer drug from Synnovation Therapeutics for up to $3 billion. SNV4818, an oral drug currently being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 study for breast cancer and other advanced solid tumors, will support Novartis’s oncology strategy in HR+/HER2⁻ breast cancer. Unilever ( UL ) gained 1.51% in premarket trade following the company’s announcement that it received an inbound offer for its food business and is in discussions with McCormick. The Board stated it believes Foods is a highly attractive business with a strong financial profile led by market-leading brands in growing categories.

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the First Trust Long/Short Equity ETF (Symbol: FTLS), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $84.44 per unit. With FTLS trading at a recent price near $69.55 per unit, that means that analysts see 21.41% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of FTLS's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Mineralys Therapeutics Inc (Symbol: MLYS), Qnity Electronics, Inc. (Symbol: Q), and Life360 Inc (Symbol: LIF). Although MLYS has traded at a recent price of $23.28/share, the average analyst target is 114.78% higher at $50.00/share. Similarly, Q has 108.74% upside from the recent share price of $111.94 if the average analyst target price of $233.67/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting LIF to reach a target price of $75.97/share, which is 93.45% above the recent price of $39.27. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of MLYS, Q, and LIF: Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above: Name Symbol Recent Price Avg.

In recent trading, shares of DHT Holdings Inc (Symbol: DHT) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $17.51, changing hands for $17.86/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher — if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised. There are 7 different analyst targets within the Zacks coverage universe contributing to that average for DHT Holdings Inc, but the average is just that — a mathematical average. There are analysts with lower targets than the average, including one looking for a price of $13.80. And then on the other side of the spectrum one analyst has a target as high as $23.00. The standard deviation is $2.851. But the whole reason to look at the average DHT price target in the first place is to tap into a "wisdom of crowds" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. And so with DHT crossing above that average target price of $17.51/share, investors in DHT have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $17.51 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table?

But the whole reason to look at the average LOCO price target in the first place is to tap into a "wisdom of crowds" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. And so with LOCO crossing above that average target price of $14.30/share, investors in LOCO have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $14.30 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table?

In recent trading, shares of Akamai Technologies Inc (Symbol: AKAM) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $95.00, changing hands for $95.33/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher — if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised. There are 14 different analyst targets within the Zacks coverage universe contributing to that average for Akamai Technologies Inc, but the average is just that — a mathematical average. There are analysts with lower targets than the average, including one looking for a price of $67.00. And then on the other side of the spectrum one analyst has a target as high as $132.00. The standard deviation is $16.024.

格隆汇3月20日｜英国央行对其沟通政策的改革（即纳入各利率制定者的观点）受到了市场分析师的批评，他们担心此举加剧了英国债券的抛售潮。英国央行周四发布的声明中包含了九名政策委员会成员的言论，此前一直主张降低利率的官员们现在正考虑提高利率。据花旗集团和蒙特利尔银行的分析师称，这一消息引发了国债价格的下跌，基准收益率在周五进一步飙升，达到了自2008年以来的最高水平。花旗集团的策略师杰米·塞勒表示：“央行的沟通方式可能加剧了市场反应。虽然此举带来了更高的透明度，但或许也意味着对整体信息的掌控力有所减弱，因为市场会根据单个言论来进行反应。”英国央行新的沟通政策于去年11月才出台，在各大央行中也实属罕见。再加上英国央行整体上采取的“随时准备采取行动”的应对策略以应对能源价格飙升的情况，这种鹰派转向促使交易员们加大了对今年加息三次的押注力度，此前的预期仅为一次。
