From the beginning of the US-Iranian negotiations to end the war in the Middle East, Israel has repeatedly demanded its conflict with Lebanon’s Hezbollah be left out. Iran, by contrast, has been insisting that its Lebanese ally stay under its umbrella, while US President Donald Trump seems focused on getting a peace deal done to ease oil prices and calm voter fury before November’s midterm elections. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has his own election this fall to worry about, and a growing challenge for him is a concern — expressed by numerous opposition leaders — that his alliance with the US has grown too tight, and Israel is turning into a vassal state unable to make its own security decisions. Read More: Trump Urges End to Fighting After Iran, Israel Trade Missiles Naftali Bennett , who’s close to Netanyahu in opinion surveys, last week assailed what he called “a government that has lost control over Israeli sovereignty.” After Iran and Israel traded fire on Sunday, Trump called on both sides to stop and told Axios he was going to call Netanyahu to tell him not to retaliate. Neither side listened: by Monday morning, Israeli warplanes had struck a petrochemical site and explosions were heard across Tehran, while Iran and its Yemeni proxy the Houthis fired on Israel. “Iran is attempting to create a new equation by carrying out direct fire into our territory in response to our strikes in southern Beirut. We will not allow this,” Israeli military spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin said. Army Radio reported that the military believes the exchanges with Iran will last several days. The military is preparing for a broad call-up and is expected to mobilize several reserve battalions while reinforcing border forces particularly along the West Bank and Jordan. A large-scale reserve mobilization began on Monday, including search-and-rescue units prepared to deploy to impact sites. All of this renewed activity, while defying Trump, poses an acute dilem...

Cognizant Technology ( CTSH ) was upgraded at Wedbush Securities on Monday as the investment firm said it sees the positives outweighing the negatives. Shares rose 2% in premarket trading. “We believe that CTSH is starting to gain momentum for its AI Builder strategy with more large-scale contracts in the 8-/9-figure range converting from its pipeline to revenue in 2H26, which will act as a catalyst for shares,” analyst Steven Wahrhaftig wrote in a note to clients. “Cognizant’s vertical specific strategy is starting to see meaningful market share gains from a productivity savings standpoint with CTSH using its own proprietary AI tools and leveraging partnerships to generate incremental demand. CTSH has also seen its key verticals demonstrate a meaningful rebound from a backlog perspective with financial services seeing a healthy spending environment and strong deal momentum and health sciences remaining stable despite regulatory uncertainty.” Wahrhaftig raised his rating on Cognizant to Outperform from Neutral and upped his price target to $70 from $56. Delving deeper, Wahrhaftig said Cognizant has seen a 70% increase in total contract value, which is a “key” forward indicator. However, first-quarter bookings grew 21% year-over-year to $29.6B in the trailing 12 months. “These deals are still in the early stages of converting to revenue, giving us increased confidence in CTSH’s ability to drive revenue growth into the back-half of this year,” Wahrhaftig added. “We also note these strong metrics were achieved within a softening discretionary spending environment, but management noted that discretionary spending is expected to modestly improve in 2H26 given the increasing deal momentum.” More on Cognizant Technology Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (CTSH) Presents at Cognizant AI Forum 2026 Prepared Remarks Transcript Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (CTSH) Presents at J.P.

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The results Ciena Corporation ( CIEN ) has published have beaten growth expectations in terms of EPS, as the consensus expected a figure around $1.46, and the final result came in at $1.64. Revenues were also above expectations, with $1.57B, representing 40% year-over-year growth, and in addition, adjusted gross margin also grew to 44.9%. As if that were not enough, management raised its revenue guidance for the full FY26 to $6.3B, as well as the operating margin, which they expect to be 19%. Is that all? Not yet; the backlog also adds $600M and now closes around $7.7B, and finally, they announced the first multi-rail order with a hyperscaler for Hyper-Rail, validating the company's roadmap, which aimed to connect several data center campuses separated by hundreds of kilometers so they could function as a single cluster for AI model training. CIEN So, why is the stock falling this way? Is it sector-related, and are we looking at an opportunity? I think that, for this, it is better to first understand where the company's growth is coming from, starting with the historical core of Optical Networking, which represents around 70% of the sales mix. Here, what CIEN does is sell the systems that move data at high speeds through its fiber optic cables and at very low latency, between points separated by a considerable number of kilometers. It mainly does this with the RLS optical line and with Waveserver, which is the platform for connecting data centers to each other and which in the sector is known as data center interconnect (DCI). Precisely this last one is experiencing the most growth, considering that the space currently needed to train an AI model from a hyperscaler is more than just a single building. So this compute capacity must be distributed across several data center campuses. So here we have the first mystery solved behind that 42% year-over-year growth to $1.1B. Then, Routing and Switching, mainly with DCOM...

wavemovies/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Wix.com ( WIX ) shares fell 13% in premarket trading Monday after the website development platform unveiled a sweeping organizational restructuring that includes a 20% workforce reduction and updated financial expectations for 2026. The company said the realignment is designed to streamline operations and reallocate resources toward its top strategic priorities. The restructuring includes scaling back or discontinuing certain activities, products, initiatives, and subsidiaries. As previously announced, approximately 1,000 employees, or 20% of the workforce, will be affected. Wix now expects fiscal 2026 free cash flow, excluding acquisition and restructuring costs, of approximately $420M, up about $20M from its prior outlook as it shifts its focus toward profitable growth. While Wix Harmony and Base44 continue to perform in line with expectations outlined in its first-quarter 2026 guidance, Wix now expects fiscal 2026 bookings to decline by approximately $50M and revenue to fall by about $25M. The company attributed the reduction to its organizational realignment and a sharper-than-expected slowdown in the growth of its Partners business during late May and early June. Wix expects the weaker revenue outlook to be more than offset by approximately $70M in non-GAAP cost-of-revenue and operating expense savings this year, incremental to its previous guidance. The company estimates the restructuring will generate approximately $150M in annualized savings, driven primarily by lower payroll and overhead costs. Filing The company expects to record approximately $30M to $35M in pre-tax restructuring charges, with the majority related to severance and employee benefits. Most of the charges are expected to be incurred in the second quarter of 2026, with cash payments occurring in the second half of the year.
