JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS ) released its first-quarter earnings reports on Tuesday, revealing mixed results. This article provides a brief overview of the bank's Q1 results, the market's reaction, and potential outcomes for the rest of 2026. Without further delay, let's head on into the analysis. Q1 Results & The Market's Reaction Headline Scotiabank's first-quarter revenue settled at C$9.65B (+3.0% Y/Y), missing its target by C$70M. Fortunately, Scotiabank's earnings-per-share figure of C$2.05 beat estimates by C$0.10, leveling out concerns witnessed in the bank's top-line results. In tandem, the bank's reported return on common equity improved materially year-over-year, reaching 13% versus the 11.8% reported at the same time last year; Scotiabank's provisions ratio remained flat year-over-year, settling at ~60 basis points. Scotiabank's stock lost around 0.66% of its value on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the day, which is slightly more than the 0.41% shed by the S&P/TSX Composite Index - Banks. Similarly, Scotiabank's listing lost around 67 basis points in New York trading. However, strong pre-market buying was witnessed on Wednesday morning. Figure 1 (Seeking Alpha) In summary, it seems as though certain market participants sold after their estimates of the bank weren't matched. However, the majority of investors seemed content with the bottom-line results and the bank's outlook, which includes bank CEO Scott Thompson stating : "We are confident that we can deliver on our medium-term objectives in 2027, including a return on equity above 14%—one year ahead of our Investor Day commitments." Diving Deeper Figure 2 illustrates a compact version of the bank's results; I've made a few remarks below the diagram. Figure 2 (Bank of Nova Scotia) Firstly, we can see that net interest margins increased by roughly 22 basis points year-over-year, deriving from higher rate realization on outstanding credit and lower funding...

AndreyPopov/iStock via Getty Images Upstart ( UPST ) is a fast-growing, AI-powered lending platform. With strong 2025 results and very positive guidance for 2026, the stock is surprisingly low. Of course, that's because lending comes with risks, and it's worth taking those into account when buying. Business Model Upstart is a digital, AI-powered lending marketplace, primarily focused on: Personal loans Auto loans Home equity lines of credit ("HELOC") Q4 2025 Earnings Presentation AI is the centerpiece of this business. Nearly all of lending activity is automated from front to back. The risk model is driven by AI, and the role of loan officer in each individual loan application is driven by AI. In its latest Form 10K , Upstart even boasts that most of this requires no human intervention. Revenue Breakdown (Q4 2025 Earnings Presentation) Upstart only retains about 10% of the loans they originate on their balance sheet. 64% are purchased by institutional investors, while 26% are purchased by lending partners. Consequently, net interest income is a relatively small piece of their revenue, with modest contribution from servicing loans they do not hold. The vast majority of revenue (75% in 2025) comes from platform and referral fees paid to Upstart by these institutional investors and lending partners. This model generally minimizes Upstart's risk-bearing in loan origination. Cash Flow Statement (2025 Form 10K) With their digital model that relies very little on human agents comes a very capital-light business. Capex (between property & equipment and software costs) remains steady. Upstart is therefore a business that enjoys considerable operating leverage at scale. Financial History With publicly disclosed data going back to 2017, we can see that Upstart has been heavily growing throughout that time, with cyclical bouts apparent as well. Author's display of 10K data Revenue started at $67M in 2017 and reached $1,076M in 205. This was almost a straight line of growth, unt...
My new oven has a touchscreen – and demanded to be connected to my broadband. Now it won’t give me a moment’s peace I bought an oven. I wish I hadn’t. Ovens are like homes, cars, pets and partners, in that you can like the look of them but can’t know what it’s like to live with them until you’re living with them. And by then, it’s too late; you’re stuck with them. All I wanted was an oven that get...
My new oven has a touchscreen – and demanded to be connected to my broadband. Now it won’t give me a moment’s peace I bought an oven. I wish I hadn’t. Ovens are like homes, cars, pets and partners, in that you can like the look of them but can’t know what it’s like to live with them until you’re living with them. And by then, it’s too late; you’re stuck with them. All I wanted was an oven that gets hot, to a temperature of my choosing, until the cooking is done, at which point I can switch it off. That’s it. But functionality this simple exists only in the good old days. In ovens, as in all things, manufacturers seek to excite our feeble minds with ever more fantastical features. One knob is all I want, all I need. But, as Feargal Sharkey might sing to himself, a single knob these days is hard to find. My new oven actually has no knob at all, which is worse. This curates the vibe of simplicity but is only a mask for unconscionable complexity. It’s like the cleverdickery of a Tesla car’s cabin. Look how simple it is, how clean, how clever! Nothing but a steering wheel and a giant touchscreen, but thereon and therein – as with my wretched oven – lies a world of pain, confusion and entirely unnecessary nonsense. Continue reading...

Pokemon "Pikachu Illustrator" Trainer Promo Hologram Trading Card Source: Ha.Com Social media influencer and wrestler Logan Paul made history last week when he sold a rare Pokémon card for $16.5 million, a world record price for an auctioned trading card. The winner views it as an investment. AJ Scaramucci — son of investor and former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci — won the bidding war for the "Pikachu Illustrator" card, made in 1998 and one of only an estimated few dozen to exist. It's the crowning achievement in the Solari Capital founder's short collecting career, which started with trading cards during the COVID-19 pandemic. "I mean, Picassos are great," he said in an interview, explaining the Illustrator card's importance. "But Pokémon means way more than just a Picasso painting to people." After winning, Scaramucci said the card's purchase was the first action in what will be, as he dubbed, a "planetary treasure hunt." He said the goal, which he is embarking on with his younger brother, is to collect a number of real-world, scarce assets across varying categories. Trading card markets have exploded in recent years . According to data from Card Ladder, an analytics firm that tracks trading card prices and sales, the monthly sales volume in secondary trading has nearly doubled in the last two years. EBay CEO Jamie Iannone in the company's earnings call last week detailed that the largest contributor to gross merchandise volume growth in the fourth-quarter were collectibles, particularly "driven by continued strength in trading cards." Paul himself bought the illustrator card in 2021 for nearly $5.3 million, indicating he sold it with a more than 200% return. Card Ladder's "Pokémon index" has grown 145% in the past year. Compare those gains to the S&P 500 , which is up 15.2% in the past year. Or compare it to "Magnificent Seven" darling Alphabet, which is up 73.4% in the past year. "Especially in 2025, the growth has been astronomical," s...
