onurdongel/iStock via Getty Images Introduction ONEOK ( OKE ), like many in the midstream industry, has seen a large uptick since the start of 2026 as it appreciated by nearly 13% since I last rated it a Strong Buy . With the company going through a radical transformation over the last 3 years, and with the latest earnings plus the appealing guidance, I believe that OKE has given a definitive roadmap for the company to become an execution powerhouse. Current Dynamics ONEOK posted a surprise beat in terms of EPS , with Q4 GAAP coming in at $1.55, a beat of 6 cents. This was achieved despite a revenue miss as it reached $9.07B, underscoring the company’s high margin focus, as adj. EBITDA reached $2.15B for the quarter, largely meeting market expectations. On a yearly basis, net income reached $3.93B on an adjusted EBITDA of $8.02B. These are both high showing of growth with Y/Y rates being at 12% and 18% respectively. I mentioned the focus on high-margin and fee-based services for OKE, and this should continue into 2026, as around 90% of the company’s earnings are derived from fee-based contracts . This is a sort of a moat as it provides a high degree of insulation from price fluctuations, which is especially important with the current volatility seen in the natural gas and NGL price differentials. Diving deeper segment-wise, we can assess that the NGL business remains the core engine of ONEOK, as it provides various services that connect the Bakken, Mid-Continent and Permian to the Gulf Coast demand centers. The segment saw a 15% increase in Rocky Mountain NGL raw feed throughput, a testament to the continued efficiency of producers in the Williston Basin. The segment will also be heavily boosted by the completion of the Medford fractionator rebuild , as the 210,000bpd facility in Oklahoma will allow OKE to compete aggressively for volumes that are seeing egress. On the refined products and Crude side, which was inherited from the Magellan merger, is providing a coun...

Contaminated Meat From Brazil Hits The EU, As Mercosur Opponents Are Proven Right Via Remix News, Opponents of Brussels’ deal with Latin American countries to import agricultural products are being proven right, unfortunately. Meat containing a banned growth hormone has shown up in the EU, a Dutch authority has reported, leading Polish authorities to order urgent inspections by the relevant inspectorates. EU farmers and multiple groups warned that the lack of safety regulations in use across the Mercosur countries would lead to such outcomes. The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority announced that it had detected Brazilian beef contaminated with estradiol , a growth hormone used to stimulate estrus in cattle that is banned in the European Union, writes Do Rzezcy . Four contaminated shipments, containing a total of 62,781 kilograms of meat, were imported by two European companies. A significant portion of the meat was distributed to several buyers and introduced into the EU market. Two remaining shipments of beef from Brazil (each containing approximately 25 tons of frozen meat) were blocked by Dutch authorities from being released for distribution, the Farmer.pl website reported on Monday. The website stressed that the detection of contaminated beef imports could become another argument for opponents of the EU trade agreement with Mercosur, a bloc of South American countries. According to the RMF FM radio station, EU member states, including Poland, were informed by the European Commission about the distribution of contaminated meat from Brazil as early as November 11 of last year. The European Commission detected the irregularities during an audit at the end of October 2025. By Jan. 21, contaminated beef had been detected in approximately 10 countries, including the Czech Republic, Germany, and Italy. And yet, that same day, on Jan. 21, despite the European Parliament voting to have the ECJ review the legality of the Mercosur deal, leaders in Brussels w...

We Are Bonds have outperformed equities for the first time since April 2025 as investors shift from betting on AI-led growth to fearing AI-driven deflation, Barclays said. In a research note, the bank’s analysts highlighted a significant shift in market sentiment. While global equity inflows reached $101 billion in February—the highest since November 2024—growing fears about AI disruption are driving capital into bonds and defensive sectors. “Investors are indeed moving away from enjoying the AI build-out phase, which should be positive for growth/productivity, to worrying about fast-growing AI disruption, which may lead to deflation,” analysts led by Emmanuel Cau said. Treasury inflows have reached year-to-date highs, with U.S. long-end Treasuries seeing inflows for the first time this year. Meanwhile, demand for high-yield credit has been waning as concerns mount that more companies could fall into the “AI losers” camp. The rotation has driven a widening gap between AI winners and losers. Market breadth reached its highest level in a year as tech de-risking lifted performance across sectors. Speculative long positions on the Nasdaq have been reduced considerably, while crowding in defensive sectors has increased notably in Europe. Hedge funds and systematic traders have pulled back equity exposure from extended January levels, with aggregate positioning falling to the 78th percentile. Retail investors have also turned more cautious, with the AAII bull-bear index falling below zero. Barclays expressed skepticism that the two competing narratives—AI as a growth driver versus AI as a deflationary threat—can coexist for long. “Something has to give, and we have more sympathy for the former than the latter, hence our preference for equities over bonds,” the analysts concluded. Here are some tech-related ETFs: ( NYSEARCA: VGT ), ( NYSEARCA: IYW ), ( NYSEARCA: FTEC ), ( NYSEARCA: IXN ), and ( NYSEARCA: RSPT ). Artificial Intelligence/Robotics ETFs: ( NASDAQ: AIQ ), ( NAS...
