VioNettaStock/E+ via Getty Images BNP Paribas turned more constructive on parts of the U.S. solar supply chain Wednesday, upgrading Array Technologies ( ARRY ) and Shoals Technologies ( SHLS ), citing signs that utility-scale solar installations could far exceed industry expectations through the end of the decade. Analyst Moses Sutton said year-to-date data points including grid expansion, partnerships between hyperscalers and developers, bullish commentary at the ERCOT Market Summit and updated EIA 860 data suggest U.S. solar growth is poised to outpace both consensus forecasts and BNP’s already above-Street estimates. Cumulative utility-scale solar capacity additions between 2026 and 2030 could exceed 250 gigawatts, compared with broader industry and Wall Street expectations of 150 to 200 gigawatts, according to the bank. Concerns around permitting, Foreign Entity of Concern tax equity constraints and engineering procurement and construction capacity appear overstated, Sutton wrote. That scale of growth would support not only leading original equipment manufacturers but also smaller balance of system suppliers. Array upgraded to Outperform BNP upgraded Array Technologies ( ARRY ) to Outperform from Neutral and raised its price target to $19 from $9. The firm sees Array ( ARRY ) as a key beneficiary of faster utility-scale deployment, assuming it maintains stable market share and generates solid revenue from non-tracker products. Sutton models 2026 earnings per share of $1.00, above the Street’s $0.84 estimate, and expects earnings to exceed $1.20 by 2028, roughly 20% above consensus. He said the company could update guidance as soon as its next earnings release. The primary risk to the thesis would be a shift in market share if large developers dominate U.S. solar construction through 2030, as Array ( ARRY ) has greater exposure to mid-sized and smaller developers than some peers. Even so, BNP views Array ( ARRY ) as a higher beta way to play accelerating solar gr...

franckreporter/iStock via Getty Images "In my view, we'll be a winner." So says Jamie Dimon , in my mind a perpetual winner, talking about JPMorganChase ( JPM ) and the bank's commitment to the world of AI. "We always have the strategy to use technology to do a better job for customers, and we're quite good at it." "There are tons of payment companies: Chime, Revolut, PayPal, and Stripe." "We get our asses kicked in certain parts. We got beat badly. We have to compete at that level too. We can't just put our heads in the sand." $20.0 billion will be spent by JPMorgan this year on technology. This is $2.0 billion more than was spent the previous year. Dimon has always been a leader in spending for technology. The thing is, the future is information. The future has been information for a long time. The race began many years ago. And the race has only accelerated. Dimon has been one of the pushers of this race. The world is made up of information. Humans progress as they use more information and use it more wisely. This has really always been the way it is...it is just that in the past...the amount of information used...and the speed at which it was used...and the understanding of how it was used...was not comprehended. In the 1940s and 1950s, humans began to catch on. Information and the use of information were just the human way, but the basic application was so inbred into human nature that this fact was not really realized. Then Alan Turing, and Johhny von Neumann, and others began to assemble things, and the "information world" grew...and grew...and grew. Today, this growth seems unstoppable. And, AI...or deep learning...or whatever you call it, is seemingly taking over everything. And people talk about humans being taken out of the picture...with the world being taken over by machines. To me, the world will not be taken over by machines. To me, there will always be room for humans. Machines are a part of the process. But humans are still the drivers. This will no...

imaginima/E+ via Getty Images One publicly traded company that has had a remarkable run over the last couple of years now has been Graham Corporation ( GHM ). If you're not familiar with the company, that's understandable. In essence, it focuses on producing mission-critical fluid, power, and heat transfer technologies, as well as vacuum technologies. This is a rather obscure space to play in. And in the past, I had been bullish about the company. In fact, from the time I turned bullish on it until I subsequently downgraded it back in May 2024, the stock had risen 50.5%. That dwarfed the 7.8% increase experienced by the S&P 500 over the same window of time. After such a big move higher, I made the case that the stock was fairly valued. However, the market has definitely disagreed with me. With the company being fueled by growing backlog and acquisition activities, revenue, profits, and cash flows have been on the rise. The expectation of continued growth has added on to this to push shares up an astounding 184.4% while the market is up only 29%. Unfortunately, however, I would say that the picture for the business has gotten absurd. Yes, this is a high-quality company that should continue to do well. But at these prices, it is difficult to justify. In addition to being expensive on an absolute basis, it's also costly compared to other similar enterprises. Because of this, I think that downgrading it to a soft "Sell" is wholly appropriate at this time. Things Are A Little Wild From an operational standpoint, Graham Corporation is most certainly an interesting business. You can best describe the company as a major player in the mission-critical fluid, power, heat transfer, and vacuum technologies industries. Specifically, it caters to the defendants, energy and process, and space markets. Examples of the technologies that it produces include custom-engineered vacuums, heat transfer equipment, cryogenic pumps, herbal machinery technologies, and more. The defense sector...

Earnings Call Insights: Universal Insurance Holdings (UVE) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Stephen Donaghy highlighted "an outstanding quarter with an adjusted return on common equity of over 46% and results were solid across the board." Donaghy emphasized the stabilization in the Florida market following legislative reforms, stating, "Our capital position is robust, and I believe our reserves are the strongest they've been in our history." He noted progress in reinsurance placement for 2026, with substantial capacity already secured for both 2026 and 2027. Frank Wilcox, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Adjusted diluted earnings per common share was $2.17, up from adjusted diluted earnings per common share of $0.25 in the prior year quarter. The increase mostly stems from a lower net loss ratio and higher net premiums earned and net investment income." Wilcox added, "Core revenue of $403.6 million was up 4.4% year-over-year, with growth primarily stemming from higher net premiums earned and net investment income." Outlook Management described the environment as highly favorable, noting, "We're already well underway in negotiating and placing our 2026 reinsurance program with a substantial portion of our first event catastrophe tower already placed...along with meaningful additional multiyear capacity secured for the 2027 hurricane season" (CEO Donaghy). The company plans to initiate its actuarial study for 2026 rates at the end of March, with Donaghy stating, "a decrease in rate does not always result in a decrease in earnings as a result of the favorable legislation and the less severity and frequency that we're seeing and you compile that with potential reductions in reinsurance and expenses, it's a very favorable environment right now." Financial Results Adjusted diluted earnings per common share was $2.17. Core revenue reached $403.6 million, direct premiums written were $483.7 million, and direct premiums earned were $538 million. Net premiums earned totaled $363....
