Lockheed Martin ( LMT ) on Thursday provided more details about a contract valued at up to $105 million by the U.S. Space Force to continue work on the Global Positioning System’s ground control infrastructure. The award is part of an ongoing effort to modernize the network that supports positioning, navigation and timing services worldwide. The agreement extends more than a decade of work tied to the Space Force’s Architecture Evolution Plan, under which Lockheed ( LMT ) has been updating the GPS ground segment that manages satellites and delivers signals to military and civilian users. The latest contract includes support for launch, early orbit operations and eventual disposal of upcoming GPS IIIF satellites, along with broader system upgrades. For investors, the award underscores the steady, long-duration nature of U.S. defense space spending, where incremental modernization contracts can provide predictable revenue streams for prime contractors. It also highlights Lockheed’s ( LMT ) entrenched position in GPS infrastructure, a critical system with high switching costs that can support recurring work tied to upgrades, sustainment and next-generation satellite deployments. The GPS ground segment plays a central role in ensuring that signals from orbiting satellites remain accurate and resilient, particularly for military operations that depend on secure and jam-resistant navigation. Lockheed said the work will focus in part on improving system resilience as new satellites with enhanced capabilities are introduced. The company has completed production of its GPS III satellites and is now manufacturing the next-generation GPS IIIF series at its Denver facility. These satellites are designed to deliver stronger anti-jamming signals and improved accuracy compared with earlier generations. Under the new contract, Lockheed ( LMT ) will help integrate those satellites into the broader GPS enterprise, including enabling the deployment of M-Code, an encrypted military sig...

Secret Service Targets Thieves Stealing SNAP Benefits In Texas Authored by Jill McLaughlin via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Fraudsters used special devices to skim card information from electronic devices used to read food stamp cards in northern and central Texas , the U.S. Secret Service’s Dallas Field Office reported April 15. A U.S. Secret Service agent, in this file photo. Madalina Kilroy/The Epoch Times The Secret Service worked with local law enforcement to prevent an estimated $13.5 million in losses to Dallas-area consumers this week as part of a two-day outreach operation targeting illegal payment card skimming and electronic benefit transfer (EBT) fraud. “ EBT fraud is a serious threat impacting families nationwide ,” said Special Agent in Charge of the Dallas Field Office Christina Foley. “Our investigative teams are committed to dismantling these skimmer operations and holding perpetrators accountable.” Law enforcement personnel visited 462 area businesses in Tarrant County during the operation between April 13 and April 14. Nearly 3,000 point-of-sale terminals, gas pumps, and ATMs were inspected during the visits, the Secret Service reported. Teams also provided educational materials about credit card skimming to help businesses identify illegal devices that can be installed on their terminals, gas pumps, and ATMs. The FBI estimates skimming costs financial institutions and consumers more than $1 billion each year. Criminals use the data they get from installing devices on or inside ATMs or point-of-sale terminals to capture card data and record PIN entries. Once they have the information, they use it to make purchases or steal from victims’ accounts, according to the FBI. SNAP benefits can also be skimmed, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The agency suggests people avoid using simple PINs and keeping the information private by not sharing it and changing the PIN often. They also suggested checking SNAP accounts often to detect unau...

The final whistle brought a second of relief before the celebrations truly kicked in after Nottingham Forest secured a place in the Europa League semi-finals. It should have been easier but nothing is simple at the City Ground as they made hard work of overcoming Porto, who played almost the entire match with 10 men. Morgan Gibbs-White settled the match, to set up an all English clash with Aston Villa for a place in the final. His goal came in the aftermath of Jan Bednarek’s early sending off and should have laid the foundations for more but Forest’s finishing was poor, forcing them to grind out the victory.

Ollie Watkins kickstarted Aston Villa’s near-perfect evening as his 100th goal for the club enabled Unai Emery’s side to cruise into a semi-final against Nottingham Forest. The England striker, looking to earn a late recall into Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad, tapped home in the 16th minute before goals from Emiliano Buendía and Morgan Rogers followed the latter’s spurned penalty. Ezri Konsa, who had set this emphatic aggregate victory in motion with the first goal in the first leg last week, rounded off the triumph by volleying home late on after Tammy Abraham headed on a corner.

Mesut Dogan/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Bloom Energy Corporation ( BE ) powered to new highs on excitement over a large expanded deal with Oracle ( ORCL ). The fuel cell company has become a leading force in providing data center power where utility supply doesn't exist. My investment thesis remains ultra Bullish on the stock, though the stock gains likely need to consolidate before the next rally. Source: Finviz Big Oracle Deal Bloom Energy announced a deal with Oracle, procuring up to 2.8 GW of fuel cell systems. The agreement outlines an initial 1.2 GW of capacity, with deployment underway and continuing into 2027. The big story with Bloom Energy over the last six months or so was the internal claim of having the capacity for substantial growth, along with the ability to supply data center power quickly. Back on the Q3'25 earnings call , the CEO claimed Bloom Energy was expanding the capacity for 2 GW in annual production by the end of 2026, amounting to 4x the 2025 revenues of $1.9 billion, or the equivalent of $7.6 billion in revenues. The company claims to have delivered a fully operational full-cell system to Oracle in just 55 days. A prime example of why Bloom Energy would receive an expanded order. Due to past deals, Bloom Energy had issued warrants to Oracle. The hyperscaler has the right to purchase 3.53 million warrants at an exercise price of $113.28, now nearly $100 in the money. Worth noting, Bloom Energy has previously listed a total backlog of $20 billion, with ~$6 billion tied to Products. For 2025, ~75% of revenues were tied to Products with Service revenues only amounting to $228 million. Big 2026 In The Cards The company will report Q1'26 results on April 28. The big focus is how much Bloom Energy can further ramp up production, with Oracle claiming upwards of 60% of expanded capacity targets, though the order appears spread out over two years. Bloom Energy guided to 2026 revenues of ~$3.2 billion for over 50% growth. The company is alread...
