franckreporter/E+ via Getty Images Thesis Technip Energies N.V. ( THNPY ) is a global engineering and technology company specializing in energy infrastructure, chemicals, and decarbonization solutions. Headquartered in Nanterre (La Défense), France (PARIS: TE), the company operates in more than 30 countries. You can think of Technip like this: if a country or a big oil company wants to build a massive LNG plant, a hydrogen facility, or a carbon capture system, these are insanely complex, multi-billion-euro projects. That’s where Technip comes in. They mainly make money in two big ways: big project contracts and selling their technology and expertise. THNPY momentum's getting stronger. (Seeking Alpha) Meanwhile, this war has torn up energy infrastructure, and the cost to put it back together in the Middle East will be massive, according to Rystad, driven largely by oil and gas. After making the connections to Technip Energies and going over the fundamentals, I'm leaning bullish on its shares, as its positioning in complex energy projects and existing footprint in key regions give it a clear edge in capturing upcoming demand. Technip Energies: The Energy Bottleneck Trade There is a repair bill coming for the Middle East, and it will be enormous. Iran struck Ras Laffan Industrial City and destroyed two of Qatar's 14 LNG trains. QatarEnergy's CEO said the damage will sideline 12.8 million tonnes per year of LNG capacity for three to five years, at an estimated cost of $20 billion in lost annual revenue. That is the world's largest LNG hub going partially dark for half a decade. Replacement gas turbines carry two- to four-year lead times alone. Now add in Rystad’s updated estimates. The total cost to repair and restore energy infrastructure across the region could reach $58 billion , with oil and gas facilities alone making up about $50 billion of that. Just three weeks earlier, Rystad had estimated the total at $25 billion , so the expected damage has increased signific...

Sotomayor Apologizes After Criticizing Kavanaugh Over Immigration Case Authored by Tom Gantert via The Epoch Times, U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor apologized in a statement for comments she recently made about Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. “At a recent appearance at the University of Kansas School of Law, I referred to a disagreement with one of my colleagues in a prior case, but I made remarks that were inappropriate,” Sotomayor said in the statement released by the Supreme Court. “ I regret my hurtful comments . I have apologized to my colleague.” Sotomayor was at an event April 7 at the University of Kansas School of Law when she criticized Kavanaugh over his stance involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents stopping individuals to question them about their immigration status. Her remarks appeared to reference the Supreme Court’s Sept. 8, 2025, emergency order in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo, which allowed immigration enforcement to continue while legal challenges proceed. The Supreme Court issued a temporary order allowing the practice to continue while the case moves through the courts. In a concurring opinion, Brett Kavanaugh wrote that such encounters are typically brief and that individuals are generally released quickly. “I had a colleague in that case who wrote, you know, these are only temporary stops,” Sotomayor said, referencing Kavanaugh, according to Bloomberg. “This is from a man whose parents were professionals. And probably doesn’t really know any person who works by the hour.” Kavanaugh’s parents were Martha Kavanaugh, an associate judge in Maryland, and Everett Kavanaugh Jr., a Washington lobbyist. Sotomayor’s parents were Juan Sotomayor, a tool worker with a third-grade education, and Celina Baez, a nurse. Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University Law School, said Sotomayor’s criticism of Kavanaugh suggested “that he is an out-of-touch elitist.” “The suggestion is that Kavanaugh has avo...

CatLane/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Investors in Callaway Golf Company ( CALY ) have been enjoying some very sunny days in the green in recent periods. Shares in the stock have gained over 100% in the past year. This includes a nearly 20% rise YTD. Seeking Alpha - 1-YR Share Price Performance Of CALY Stock The outperformance of broader markets could be viewed as rather striking, especially given CALY’s positioning in the leisure products industry and the more discretionary nature of their offerings. As its name would imply, the company is a leading golf equipment, gear, and apparel company, whose flagship namesake, Callaway Golf, is widely known among the community. In late 2025, CALY underwent a strategic realignment relating to its Topgolf business. Following that alignment, CALY has reaffirmed its position as a pure-play golf business, and that has apparently paid it dividends from investor sentiment. I believe the stock is worth more attention than it's currently receiving, though I would hesitate to chase it at its highs. For existing investors, I view shares as a ‘hold’ at current pricing. CALY Stock Key Metrics CALY is a lightly followed stock among the community, with very little coverage from the Seeking Alpha (“SA”) community. Fellow contributor Daniel Jones has been one analyst that has continuously maintained a bullish stance on CALY, and kudos to him on the call. The ratings summary for the SA side, accordingly, is slightly skewed due to the lack of coverage. In a similar vein, the ratings from Wall Street also show as a ‘buy,’ but the population of analysts covering the stock is quite small. The lack of coverage is unfortunate, in my view, especially given the run-up in the stock price, which I view as well warranted. At current pricing, CALY trades at a forward of nearly 30x earnings. That’s rich, yes, but CALY does have a dominant position in the golf equipment and apparel market, with limited competition. CALY also appears richly valued throu...

Muhammad Farhad/iStock via Getty Images By Lynn Song, Chief Economist, Greater China Iran war will give China’s reflation story a nudge in the right direction China’s reflation story is picking up steam. After years of struggling with deflationary pressure, China’s inflation looks like it’ll be solidly in positive territory this year. PPI inflation returned to positive levels in March, the first time since 2022, while CPI inflation has stayed above 1% for two consecutive months. Upward price pressures will likely persist, as higher energy prices are already showing in the data. The factors behind reflation are less encouraging; higher inflation stemming from energy and food prices isn’t the typical, healthy, demand-driven inflation that central bankers tend to look for. However, it could be the push in the right direction needed to restore inflation expectations and avoid a deflationary spiral. With FAI hitting a record low last year and retail sales sluggish, restoring inflation expectations could encourage companies and households to open their wallets. Can the external demand story hold up another year? In the first quarter of the year, China’s exports rose 14.7% YoY as strong demand from the rest of the world continued to offset the drag from the US. However, the strong start to exports has been offset by an even sharper acceleration of imports, up 22.7% YoY in 1Q26. Higher tech product prices can be seen impacting both export and import growth. A stronger CNY may also be contributing to this. In net, China’s first quarter trade surplus of US$264.3bn is down -2.5% YoY compared to 1Q25. A smaller trade surplus may be welcome news for China’s trade partners seeking a more balanced trade relationship, but it will come at the cost of this year’s growth, which already looks to face more pressure from higher energy prices and the general reflation trend. If the external demand driver begins to weaken, we’ll likely need to see stimulus ramp up to keep growth on track t...
