sankai/iStock via Getty Images U.S. crude oil on Friday recorded its biggest weekly gain since the establishment of the trading benchmark more than four decades ago as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East disrupted global fuel supplies. On Friday alone, front-month Nymex crude ( CL1:COM ) futures for April delivery added more than 12% to reach $91 per barrel, its highest level since late 2022. The U.S. oil benchmark jumped nearly 36% this week, marking its biggest weekly gain since the inception of the West Texas Intermediate oil contract in March 1983. Meanwhile, front-month Brent crude ( CO1:COM ) futures for May delivery spiked roughly 9% on Friday to hover around $93 per barrel. The international oil benchmark reached the highest level since late 2023, following its biggest weekly rise since April 2020. Further gains are likely next week as oil-producing nations in the Middle East reduce production as the war escalates and supplies across the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime route for oil shipments, get disrupted. “A longer conflict in the Persian Gulf region could entrench high oil and gas prices, translating into inflationary pressure on a global scale,” wrote Seeking Alpha analyst MarketPulse on Friday. “The effects would be visible not only in energy costs but also in expectations regarding the path of central bank interest rates worldwide.” SA Investing Group leader James Foord argued that the direction of oil prices will determine the trajectory of the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) going forward. “A spike to $120 oil could trigger a 5–10% S&P 500 correction via stagflation, higher yields, and margin compression,” he wrote. “If oil collapses to $60 as war premiums fade, expect a relief rally and acceleration of the AI-driven bull market,” he added.

When investors look at Alphabet (GOOG 0.87%)(GOOGL 0.78%), they see a dominant brand with strong top-line momentum. The search giant's business is growing fast, with total company revenue rising 18% year over year to $113.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025. But underneath the surface, the company is undergoing a capital-intensive transition to support artificial intelligence (AI). With Alphabet's revenue rising rapidly while it spends aggressively, where could the stock be five years from now? The answer might surprise you. Despite Alphabet's already massive size (the company has a market capitalization of more than $3.6 trillion as of this writing), I think its stock price is likely to trade at a far higher level in five years. A soaring cloud computing business A key driver of Alphabet's recent success is its increasingly diversified business. Specifically, the company's Google Cloud segment (cloud computing) saw revenue jump 48% year over year to $17.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025. And this isn't just top-line growth. It is highly profitable. Impressively, the segment's operating income soared from roughly $2.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024 to $5.3 billion in the most recent quarter. But Alphabet's core business is also still firing on all cylinders. The company's "Google Search & other" segment saw revenue increase 17% year over year to $63.1 billion in the fourth quarter. In addition, YouTube ads revenue rose 9% year over year. This broad-based growth translated into significant profitability. Alphabet's fourth-quarter net income increased 30% year over year to $34.5 billion. The capital expenditure trade-off Profitability is key for Alphabet right now, as it will need a lot of cash. As the company continues to invest heavily in AI infrastructure, its highly profitable, rapidly expanding cloud division and cash-rich search business help fund its extreme appetite for more computing. Alphabet management said its 2026 capital expenditures are...

If you're a U.S. stock investor, you might be feeling underwhelmed by your portfolio's performance so far in 2026.

If you're a U.S. stock investor, you might be feeling underwhelmed by your portfolio's performance so far in 2026. The S&P 500 index is mostly going sideways (up 0.5% year to date), and the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 index is down about 1.2% year to date after being hit hard by artificial intelligence (AI) fears and a software stock sell-off. While American stocks are in the doldrums, the rest of the world is picking up the pace. According to Reuters, research from LSEG/Lipper shows that U.S.-based investors have pulled about $75 billion out of U.S. stocks in the past six months. And $52 billion of those outflows happened since Jan. 1, 2026. This is the fastest pace of U.S. investors fleeing U.S. stocks during the first eight weeks of a new year since at least 2010. Could this be the start of a long-term "bye, America" trade? Let's look at a few reasons to buy international stocks as part of a diversified portfolio. International stocks are booming During the past year, the American stock market has been strongly outperformed by international ETFs in Europe, the Pacific, and emerging markets. Some individual countries' stock markets have done even better -- South Korea's stock market is up about 177% in the past year. According to LSEG/Lipper data cited by Reuters, U.S. investors have put $26 billion into emerging market stocks so far this year, with South Korea and Brazil being the top destinations. Possible reasons for strong performance of international stocks include a declining U.S. dollar, investor concerns about the high valuations and risks of AI stocks, and investor-friendly policy changes in other countries. But the biggest reason might be optimism for continued economic growth and rising earnings in other countries beyond America. Even if the U.S. stock market keeps growing, international stocks could keep growing faster. How to buy international stocks right now If you want to get in on the "bye, America" trade, the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXU...

Scotland have "one more week to finish the job" as they target an unlikely Six Nations triumph, says captain Sione Tuipulotu. Gregor Townsend's side ended France's Grand Slam hopes with an exhilarating seven-try victory at Murrayfield to go level on points with Les Bleus at the top of the championship. They go to Dublin next weekend knowing a win over Ireland gives them a chance of a first title since 1999 before the French host England later in the day. For 65 minutes on Saturday, Scotland destroyed one of the best teams in the world. They carved through the bedraggled French defence again and again and again. Darcy Graham scored twice, as did opposite wing Kyle Steyn. Pierre Schoeman, the effervescent Ben White and Tom Jordan also crossed as the usually unflappable French floundered. The returning Jack Dempsey was outstanding and, until a late French rally snatched a bonus point, Scotland stood alone at the top of the table.

Nvidia (NVDA 2.94%) has been the most successful tech stock, with its artificial intelligence (AI) chips helping it become the world's most valuable publicly traded company. The chipmaker's market cap is above $4 trillion, and an excellent fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 (that ended Jan. 25, 2026) performance shows the growth narrative is still intact and strengthening. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that AI demand is "growing exponentially." Guidance was also quite substantial, with the company projecting $78 billion in revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, compared to $68.1 billion in the previous quarter. While Nvidia's earnings show AI demand is still heating up, its $4 trillion market cap means the stock needs far more capital to generate any meaningful movement. Meanwhile, Silicon Motion Technology (SIMO 4.20%) has a much smaller market cap and is well-positioned to ride the AI wave. Silicon Motion Technology offers memory storage solutions for AI chips Silicon Motion Technology's SSD controllers are memory storage solutions for AI chips. Per the company's recent financial results and guidance, demand for these SSD controllers is heating up. Q4 2025 revenue increased 46% year over year, with SSD controllers contributing significantly to the company's growth. Silicon Motion Technology also forecast a "stronger-than-seasonal start, with sustained and steady growth throughout the year."

More than 90% of Chili's restaurants in the U.S. are company-owned, which means management controls everything from menu changes to kitchen upgrades. Before the turnaround, the average Chili's generated around $370,000 in restaurant-level profit. At the end of fiscal 2025, that figure stood at $790,000. Despite the underlying progress, the stock still trades at a below-market multiple. 3 For Me Chili's was repositioned at exactly the right time. In recent years, quick-service and fast-casual chains pushed prices so high that consumers started looking elsewhere for value. Chili's already had its 3 For Me menu in place, starting at $10.99 for a full-service meal at a discount to most fast-food joints. The result was traffic-led growth, with same-store visits (comps) up 16.3% in 2025. That strength carried into the new fiscal year. Brinker reported second-quarter 2026 results on Jan. 28, with comps growing 8.6% and traffic up 2.7%. That's on top of 31% comps growth in the year-ago quarter. When a sit-down meal at Chili's costs about the same as a Chipotle bowl, consumers are choosing table service. That's how Brinker fills the seats. The pricing strategy is disciplined, too. The $10.99 promotion accounts for under 8% of total sales. Twice the profit, same discount The risk is straightforward. Chili's is now lapping comps growth of 31.6% from the year-ago quarter. The rate of increase is moderating, and that's what investors are worried about in the near term. Management guided for comps growth in each quarter of fiscal 2026 and has delivered through the second, but this quarter is the toughest comparison yet.
