BanksPhotos/E+ via Getty Images Note: I have covered Alto Ingredients, Inc., or "Alto Ingredients" ( ALTO ), previously, so investors should view this as an update to my earlier articles on the company. Alto Ingredients Q4 Earnings After the close of Wednesday's session, renewable fuel and specialty alcohol producer Alto Ingredients reported strong fourth quarter results with profitability well ahead of consensus expectations: Company Press Releases / Regulatory Filings On the conference call , management attributed the outperformance to a number of factors: improved crush margins high-margin renewable fuel export sales decreased operating expenses recognition of qualified 45Z (clean fuel production) tax credits In addition, results benefited from a $10 million insurance payment related to flood damages sustained by the company's river dock in Pekin, Illinois, earlier this year. Of these proceeds, $1.5 million was recorded as a reduction to cost of goods sold as a reimbursement for previously recorded expenses. $1.8 million was recorded in other income for lost profits related to the business interruption. And the remaining $6.7 million of income was recorded as excess insurance proceeds in accordance with GAAP, which will be used to fund the repairs and improvements in 2026. Since the excess proceeds were not related to operations, we excluded this gain from our calculation of adjusted EBITDA. But even adjusted for one-time benefits, profitability was well above analyst expectations. Adjusted EBITDA of $27.9 million represented a new multi-year high for Alto Ingredients. According to management's statements during the conference call, the company generated approximately $15 million in free cash flow in Q4, which was used to further reduce outstanding debt. Alto Ingredients ended the year with $25.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, as well as $84.6 million in funded debt. Subsequent to year-end, the company paid down another $10 million in exp...
Few stocks have had as rough a go over the past year as The Trade Desk (TTD +18.39%). Revenue growth has been slowing, which has caused investors to panic. It also can't seem to keep a person employed at the CFO position, which is another red flag. All this has added up to a stock that is down over 80% from its all-time high.

Few stocks have had as rough a go over the past year as The Trade Desk (TTD +18.39%). Revenue growth has been slowing, which has caused investors to panic. It also can't seem to keep a person employed at the CFO position, which is another red flag. All this has added up to a stock that is down over 80% from its all-time high. However, I think this sell-off is overdone. While I agree that The Trade Desk shouldn't be trading at the same premium that it was before the sell-off, today's price is just way too cheap for the business that The Trade Desk is. I think the market may realize that and cause a market rally. This could propel The Trade Desk to be one of the best-performing stocks in 2026, making it a great buy now. The Trade Desk is still growing at a market-matching pace During the fourth quarter, The Trade Desk's revenue grew at a 14% pace. However, it was its first-quarter guidance that gave investors the scare. It expects at least $678 million in revenue, indcating 10% growth. Since The Trade Desk was growing at over a 20% pace just a year ago, this slowdown is very concerning. However, I don't think it's so concerning that the stock should be trading as cheaply as it is. At a price-to-earnings ratio of 26 and a forward earnings ratio of under 12, The Trade Desk looks like an unreal deal right now. I believe it is, as the S&P 500 trades for 25.8 times trailing earnings and 21.9 times forward earnings. While the trailing earnings metric looks a bit expensive, that's because the company had some one-time charges during Q1 that skewed this metric. So in reality, it's actually cheaper than the market once those effects are stripped out from a trial earnings perspective. It's not often that you get a chance to buy a stock this cheap, but is it worth it? You can buy a stock that looks cheap and still overpay for it. The Trade Desk needs to find a way to reaccelerate its revenue growth, at least to the mid-teens. If it can do that, then I think the market will retur...

"This Will Bring Down Global Economy": Qatar's Energy Minister Offers Dire Warning About Hormuz Chokepoint Chaos Brent crude futures are on track for their biggest weekly gain since the early days of Covid, with the move now exceeding the 20% weekly spike at the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, as the U.S.-Israeli air campaign against Iran, Operation Epic Fury, has tipped the Gulf into an energy crisis, freezing commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and pushing some regional oil and gas production offline. On Friday, Qatar's energy minister, Saad al-Kaabi, told the Financial Times that the Gulf conflict could trigger a global economic shock, warning that continued fighting would force all Gulf energy exporters to halt output and could send Brent crude prices north of $150 a barrel.

Source: @MarineTraffic pic.twitter.com/krcT5qp4ik — HFI Research (@HFI_Research) March 5, 2026 " Everybody who has not called for force majeure we expect will do so in the next few days if this continues. All exporters in the Gulf region will have to call force majeure," Kaabi explained. "If they don't, they are at some point going to pay the liability for that legally, and that's their choice ." Qatar is the world's second-largest producer of LNG and was forced to declare force majeure earlier this week after IRGC drone strikes on its Ras Laffan plant. " This will bring down the economies of the world," he warned. "If this war continues for a few weeks, GDP growth around the world will be impacted. Everybody's energy price is going to go higher. There will be shortages of some products and there will be a chain reaction of factories that cannot supply ." Kaabi continued, "We don't yet know the extent of the damage, as it is currently still being assessed. It is not yet clear how long repairs will take." On Tuesday, we provided readers with the number of days of disruption needed in the Gulf area (the Strait of Hormuz chokepoint) to tr...

Trump fires Kristi Noem. And, DOJ releases some missing Epstein files Good morning. You're reading the Up First newsletter. Subscribe here to get it delivered to your inbox, and listen to the Up First podcast for all the news you need to start your day. Today's top stories President Trump has fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and named Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma as his choice to replace her. On social media, Trump said Noem would move to a role as "Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas," a new security initiative he said the administration would announce on Saturday. Mullin, a fairly new face in the Senate, has established himself as a close ally of the president. The Senate will have to confirm Mullin for the DHS role before he can start. Here's what you need to know about Trump's pick. toggle caption Win McNamee/Getty Images 🎧 Noem's firing comes after both Republicans and Democrats questioned her leadership during two separate hearings this week, NPR's Ximena Bustillo tells Up First. They asked about the agency's efficiency in distributing disaster relief funds and how it spent its money. Throughout her time in the role, Noem has defended the agency's actions, but that backfired after January's events in Minnesota, where immigration officers killed two U.S. citizens. The events in that state are instrumental in why the agency is now in its third week without funding. If approved, one of Mullins' first tasks will be to address the lack of trust in immigration enforcement.

Netflix's expanding advertising business and ability to raise prices could fuel additional revenue growth, CFRA Research said. The research firm upgraded the streaming giant to buy from hold. Analyst Kenneth Leon raised his 12-month target price by $22 to $115, which implies upside of 16%. "A s the industry leader, we see NFLX driving member growth, [average revenue per user] expansion with pricing power, and advertising contribute to incremental revenue growth in 2026, perhaps $1.5B to $3.0B," Leon wrote. "The shift to higher revenue per user optimization aligns with broader industry trends." NFLX YTD mountain NFLX YTD chart The analyst pointed out that rising advertising revenue balances out slower subscription growth. Another catalyst comes this year as Netflix seeks higher penetration in developed markets outside of North America and Europe, such as Japan. For the U.S. and Canadian markets, Leon believes that mid-teens revenue growth this year is the goal. While most of the company's production, programming content and capital investment remains in the U.S., the company is clearly successful at identifying other countries where success can be seen. "This is an important signal that NFLX can grow the franchise both in developed markets that command higher monthly subscriber rates (2x or more rates in developing markets) and continue to expand its market presence in other countries around the world," the analyst said. Netflix also has pricing power in the fast-changing video streaming market, Leon added. He pointed out that the company is successfully expanding its content universe by introducing video podcasts, live events and partnering with social media creators. Leon views generative artificial intelligence as a catalyst as well. "Management sees itself as uniquely positioned at the intersection of entertainment and technology to leverage AI. Opportunities include providing creators with AI-infused tools to enhance storytelling, improving the product experienc...

When Kylie Jenner stood on the marble steps of the Petit Palais in 2023, a fake lion head attached to her off-shoulder dress, even by the standards of the youngest member of the Kardashian clan, the outfit looked a bit much. View image in fullscreen Kylie Jenner in January 2023, Paris. Photograph: Laurent VU/Sipa/Rex/Shutterstock Hand-painted for lifelike realism, the Schiaparelli head and dress were designed by the Texan Daniel Roseberry. Although already four years in the role of artistic director, the look was transformative – earning Jenner front row seats at the biggest shows and propelling the nearly century-old Paris fashion house, long overshadowed by Chanel, Balenciaga, and Dior, into viral ubiquity. As the focus of the V&A’s new blockbuster exhibition about Schiaparelli wants to make clear, this moment-making approach to fashion is not simply a reflection of the social media age but entirely in keeping with the spirit of its Italian founder, Elsa Schiaparelli. “I don’t consider Elsa to be a dressmaker”, says Roseberry. “She was an image-maker, a culture creator, and she has been our north star with every red carpet moment since.” View image in fullscreen Skeleton dress, designed by Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dalí, 1938. Photograph: Emil Larsson The lion dress is sadly not among the 400 objects in the exhibition, which also includes paintings, sculpture and furniture. But surreality abounds, thanks in no small part to Schiaparelli’s many collaborations with artists including Jean Cocteau and Salvador Dalí, including the skeleton dress, a macabre design with padded black bones, and a hat made to look like an upside-down shoe, both designed with Dali in the late 1930s. Acting as a through-line between the mid-1930s and now, more intimate pieces include a wedding dress worn to a Golders Green synagogue and “some leopard print booties, which Elsa never took off”, says Sonnet Stanfill, the V&A’s senior fashion curator. This is the UK’s first major retrospec...

Russian soldiers injured in the war with Ukraine will be allowed to compete at future Paralympic Games, says International Paralympic Committee president Andrew Parsons. An investigation by Poland-based news outlet Vot Tak, as reported by the Moscow Times,, external found Russia is fast-tracking injured soldiers into Para-sport. The Russian Paralympic Committee has reportedly said that "at least 70" veterans are now competing in national teams. Parsons was speaking to BBC Sport on the day of the Winter Paralympics opening ceremony in Italy, which is set to be boycotted by seven teams - including Ukraine - over the inclusion of Russian and Belarusian athletes at the Games. It was announced in February that six Russians and four Belarusians will compete at the Paralympics after the IPC lifted the nations' suspensions last year. It will mark the first time a Russian flag has been flown at a Paralympics since Sochi 2014. Asked if the IPC would allow Russians injured in the war to compete at future Games, Parsons said: "When the general assembly took the decision to lift the suspensions of Russia and Belarus, the decision was to treat them like any other National Paralympic Committee. "There are many countries that recruit athletes from the armed forces, so if Russia does that, they won't be the only one. "We have to remember where we come from. Our movement started after World War Two, specifically with injured military personnel. "So what the Paralympic movement offers is possibility after war. We are against any war, any conflict, but what we offer is an opportunity for those who are injured in war to be reintegrated into society through sport. "It doesn't matter to us what they have done in the past in the combat field. Of course crimes of war are something different, but what we offer with the movement is a second chance."

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stock dropped 1.3% on Thursday after Bloomberg reported that the U.S. government is considering sweeping new restrictions on AI chip exports. The news hit the entire semiconductor sector, with the SMH ETF shedding 1%. The proposed rules would require U.S. companies to obtain government approval before exporting AI accelerators to virtually any country, a significant expansion beyond the restrictions currently in place for around 40 nations. For large-scale orders, such as purchases exceeding 200,000 Nvidia GPUs, buyers would need to make security commitments and matching investments in American AI infrastructure before approval would even be considered. Companies building large AI clusters could also face new disclosure requirements, including sharing their business models or allowing U.S. government site visits. The rules appear designed to prevent advanced chips from reaching China and to push foreign nations to invest in U.S. data infrastructure. AMD Stock Revenue, EBIT and Free Cash Flow estimates in Billion USD (TIKR) It’s worth noting that the proposal is not final and could change significantly before any rules take effect. For AMD stock, the timing is notable. AMD just reported a strong Q4, with revenue up 34% year-over-year to a record $10.3 billion. Data center revenue hit $5.4 billion in the quarter, and the company is ramping its next-generation MI450 GPU series. CEO Lisa Su said on the earnings call that AMD expects Data Center revenue to grow more than 60% annually over the next three to five years. Export restrictions complicate that outlook. AMD already flagged uncertainty around China sales, forecasting just $100 million in MI3...

Track your investments for FREE with Simply Wall St, the portfolio command center trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. CoreWeave (NasdaqGS:CRWV) has entered a multiyear partnership with Perplexity AI to power next generation inference workloads on its AI cloud platform. The agreement includes dedicated NVIDIA powered clusters and is intended to support Perplexity’s high intensity AI model operations. The deal broadens CoreWeave’s AI cloud client base and is viewed by the company as validation of its specialized infrastructure offering. For investors watching CoreWeave at a share price of $74.82, this Perplexity AI partnership comes after a period of pressure on the stock, with returns of 23.4% over the past week and 16.9% over the past month. Year to date, the share price shows a 5.7% decline, so the market is still working through what an emerging AI cloud provider like NasdaqGS:CRWV should be worth. What stands out in this announcement is that CoreWeave is positioning itself as an infrastructure partner embedded in real world AI workloads rather than a general purpose cloud provider. As more generative AI platforms look for specialized compute, investors will likely watch how agreements like this translate into usage, stickiness of clients, and how CoreWeave builds out a repeatable model in AI infrastructure.

Italian prosecutors investigating a domestic spying scandal said they have independently confirmed that two immigration activists and a journalist were hacked at the same time in late 2024, suggesting all three were part of the same “infection campaign”. The development could fuel more questions for the far-right government of Giorgia Meloni, who has denied any involvement in the hacking of the journalist, the Fanpage editor-in-chief, Francesco Cancellato. The controversy over the hacking claims erupted in early 2025, when WhatsApp revealed that it had discovered that 90 people, including journalists and members of civil society, had been targeted by hacking software made by Paragon Solutions, a spyware maker that was founded in Israel but is now owned by US investors. Like other spyware makers, Paragon sells use of its spyware, known as Graphite, to government agencies, who are supposed to use it to fight and prevent crime. It can hack into any phone, without users knowing their mobiles have in effect been taken over. Paragon has previously confirmed that it cancelled its contract with the Italian government after reports first emerged that Cancellato had been targeted. Cancellato, whose online investigative news outlet has published critical reporting about Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party, including an expose of young fascists in the party’s youth organisation, was the first person in Italy to come forward publicly. View image in fullscreen Francesco Cancellato. Photograph: Fanpage More victims emerged, including Giuseppe Caccia and Luca Casarini, two pro-immigrant activists. A subsequent investigation by the Italian parliamentary committee for security (Copasir) found that Italian intelligence agencies had legally targeted Caccia and Casarini, but said they had not found evidence that Cancellato had been targeted. The findings this week by prosecutors in Rome and Naples – independent investigative bodies – marks a major departure from the previous parliamentary ...

Hayden AI , a San Francisco startup that makes spatial analytics tools for cities worldwide, has sued its co-founder and former CEO, alleging that he stole a large quantity of proprietary information in the days leading up to his ouster from the company in September 2024. In a lawsuit filed late last month in San Francisco Superior Court but only made public this week, Hayden AI claims that former CEO Chris Carson undertook what it called “numerous fraudulent actions,” which include “forged board signatures, unauthorized stock sales, and improper allocation of personal expenses.” (Ars covered Hayden AI’s recent product expansion in Santa Monica, Calif.) Carson, who has since founded a rival company called EchoTwin AI , did not respond to Ars’ request on Wednesday for comment sent via LinkedIn, email, and text message. Read full article Comments

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News South Africa is in discussions with Gilead Sciences ( GILD ) to reach an agreement that allows the production of the U.S. biotech’s new twice-yearly HIV therapy, lenacapavir, in the country, home to the highest number of people living with the virus. The government has called for expressions of interest to select South African pharmaceutical manufacturers capable of producing the antiviral therapy, which the U.S. FDA approved for the prevention of HIV in July 2025. Gilead ( GILD ) granted six voluntary licenses to drugmakers across India, Egypt, and Pakistan in 2024, allowing them to manufacture generic versions of lenacapavir for 120 low- and middle-income countries. “A seventh license for a South Africa-based manufacturer would further diversify global supply and align production more closely with the region that carries the highest HIV burden,” said Unitaid, a nonprofit partnering with the government in the selection process. South Africa has the highest HIV prevalence rate, with more than 8M people, or 12.8% of the country’s population, living with the virus. “Producing lenacapavir closer to where it is most needed could accelerate the pathway from innovation to access and help ensure a more predictable, sustainable supply,” Unitaid added.

In a third-quarter filing, the loan had been marked at 100 cents on the dollar before the subsequent change disclosed in the company's latest 10-K. The writedown follows another full markdown within the same platform, after BlackRock TCP previously wrote down loans made to Renovo Home Partners. While the Infinite Commerce exposure is small relative to BlackRock's overall scale, the development could highlight a broader dynamic in private credit markets, where valuations for illiquid loans may lag behind the weakening performance of the businesses those loans support. The situation has added to ongoing debate about risk within direct lending strategies. Concerns about the resilience of private credit have been building in recent months. JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon has warned that bankruptcies involving companies such as Tricolor and First Brands may signal additional stress within the sector, though some market participants continue to describe such cases as isolated. As of Dec. 31, 2025, BlackRock TCP Capital reported debt and preferred equity investments in 14 portfolio companies on non-accrual status, representing 4.0% of its portfolio at fair value and 9.7% at cost, up from nine companies at the end of September. Shares of BlackRock slipped about 0.5% while BlackRock TCP Capital declined roughly 1.0% in early Thursday trading.

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Robinhood Ventures Fund I ( RVI ) priced its initial public offering of around 12.62M shares at $25 per share, valuing the fund at $658.4M, or up to $705.7M if the underwriter exercises its option to purchase additional shares. The closed-end fund is expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on March 6, 2026, under the ticker RVI, with the offering scheduled to close on March 9, subject to customary conditions. The underwriter has a 30-day option to buy up to 1.89M additional shares. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is acting as sole bookrunner for the offering. In February, Robinhood Markets ( HOOD ) launched Robinhood Ventures Fund I ( RVI ), the inaugural fund from its venture arm that aims to give investors exposure to a concentrated portfolio of private companies, including Airwallex, Boom Supersonic, Databricks, Mercor, Oura, Ramp and Revolut. The fund has entered into an agreement to buy shares of Stripe ( STRIP ) that Robinhood expects to close after RVI's IPO. The new fund is part of the company's mission to democratize markets. It comes as the number of publicly traded companies has declined. Meanwhile, companies are staying private longer and are increasing in both number and value. Robinhood said there are 6.5 times as many private companies as public, with U.S. private companies' total value exceeding $10T, according to data from Apollo Academy and the Federal Reserve. "Opening up private markets will resolve one of the greatest longstanding inequities in capital markets today, and we’re excited to bring these opportunities to all with Robinhood Ventures Fund I," said Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev. The new fund is designed to be accessible to all investors, with no accreditation requirements, no investment minimums, a competitive management fee, no performance fees, and daily liquidity as a publicly traded fund on the NYSE. RVI pays its investment adviser, Robinhood Ventures, a management fee at an annual rate of 2.00%...
