Hess Midstream: 8% Yield That's Backed By Chevron The Supercycle Investor | Buy When scrolling through the North American midstream sector, it's easy to find high yielding names - you can find MLPs with yields ranging from 5% to 10% or higher (in some cases). But not every one of these stocks deserves a permanent home in an income portfolio for various reasons. It's not enough to just lock in a high yield. In particular, I'm looking for high-yielding stocks with a positive history of growing distributions over time, even during weak oil price environments, as these are the stocks that in this sector that tend to outperform over the long haul. And I prefer midstream stocks with relatively low leverage and a history of strong operating results. Hess Midstream ( HESM ) is a name I've known for years but haven't pulled the trigger on yet. It isn't my top pick: Western Midstream ( WES ) and MPLX ( MPLX ) get that honor. But, when it comes to the things that matter most to income investors (distribution history and valuation, for starters), HESM screens a bit better than many of its peers. That's why I've rated the stock as a BUY. Read more here.

Bitcoin' s (CRYPTO: BTC) price currently sits 49% below its all-time high reached last October, as of June 8. It's an unusual fall because the S&P 500 index, which has had a strong year thus far, is near its record high. The market clearly isn't rewarding all risk assets equally, as the top cryptocurrency continues to get punished. The bears are winning the debate right now. But I believe the bull...
Bitcoin' s (CRYPTO: BTC) price currently sits 49% below its all-time high reached last October, as of June 8. It's an unusual fall because the S&P 500 index, which has had a strong year thus far, is near its record high. The market clearly isn't rewarding all risk assets equally, as the top cryptocurrency continues to get punished. The bears are winning the debate right now. But I believe the bulls will have the last laugh. I predict that Bitcoin will rise by 290% from $64,000 today to hit $250,000 before the next halving event , which is expected to take place in April 2028. Here are three reasons why. Continue reading

Nicolae Popescu/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis Intuitive Machines ( LUNR ) is a business that I'm bullish on. This is a classic Inflection opportunity that makes up my portfolio. I love this type of setup. Intuitive Machine is scaling at a very rapid pace. However, its overwhelming issue is that the business is not free cash flow positive today. Hence, it requires raising capital from time to time to shore up its balance sheet, which leaves the stock very exposed to dramatic sell-offs when investors turn fearful in markets, as we saw last week. So, why am I bullish on LUNR? Because, whenever I approach an investment opportunity, I think about the risk-reward profile of the business. Oftentimes, the risk facing the business is a narrative issue. Investors are too focused on this week and not giving enough consideration to next year. But I can assure you that narratives change. In fact, by this time next year, Intuitive Machines has a credible path to becoming a self-sustaining business. And so, the premium on its stock will go from where its narrative is today to where it will be next year, as investors start to view it as a 'moon-economy' high-growth, self-sustaining business. That change in the company's narrative will cause its share price to inflect higher. Hence, I'm bullish. Investor Sentiment I've been in and out of LUNR several times in the past couple of years. Each time I successfully booked profits. That being said, in my previous free article posted on SA, I had already sold out of my position. Today, I'm bullish on LUNR as I recognise that the business is growing at a very rapid rate. But it has two issues with its bull case. Firstly, and most critically, the business still operates as a free cash flow negative business. Secondly, LUNR is incredibly acquisitive; hence, it's difficult to get a clear sense of its potential organic growth rates. This second aspect doesn't trouble me all that much, as I understand that Intuitive Machine is determi...

Tencent Holdings Ltd. began marketing dollar and yuan bonds in an offering that could raise as much as $4.5 billion, people familiar with the matter said, an upward shift from initial thinking following discussions with investors. The Chinese technology and mobile gaming giant set initial price guidance for the proposed 10-year and 20-year dollar bonds at around 80 and 90 basis points above US Treasuries, respectively, according to a person familiar with the matter. It’s also seeking to sell 10-year and 30-year offshore yuan-denominated notes around 2.95% and 3.55%, the person said. Tencent’s proposed dollar tranches drew orders exceeding $3 billion by mid-morning Tuesday, while its offshore yuan portions attracted more than 20.5 billion yuan ($3 billion), the person said. The debt securities could be priced as early as Tuesday. The offering comes after Beijing’s recent decision to allow some top insurers to buy dim sum bonds via an expanded southbound investment program, stoking domestic appetite for yuan-denominated notes issued outside the mainland. The firm has secured regulatory approval to issue as much as $4.5 billion in offshore debt, though it doesn’t need to use the full amount and the final size of the offering could change, the people added. Proceeds from the offering would be mainly for refinancing and general corporate purposes, such as developing AI products and services, the people said. Tencent didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Sign up for the daily India Edition newsletter by Menaka Doshi – an insider's guide to the emerging economic powerhouse, and the billionaires and businesses behind its rise. Indian fintech pioneer Paytm is set to hire about 4,000 people over the next nine months, part of a pivot aimed at expanding its merchant network and artificial intelligence-driven product offerings. The increase would mark a roughly 10% increase in its headcount that stands at about 40,000 employees. Paytm is also laying off 1% of its staff, or about 400 people, after the current performance appraisal cycle, a company spokesperson said. The cuts follow more substantial reductions in the previous year. The digital payments operator has been revamping its business after Indian regulators targeted its banking affiliate two years ago. Chief Executive Officer Vijay Shekhar Sharma is trying to get more of the company’s hundreds of millions of registered users to tap its service to access loans, investments and other financial products. The hiring push, including for senior leadership roles, will continue through March 2027. Paytm, based on the outskirts of New Delhi, will recruit across teams including product, technology and AI. “Over the last two months, we have added more than 800 people and are in the process of recruiting a further 4,000,” the company said in a statement. Paytm has posted four straight quarters of profit, rebounding from the turmoil caused by India’s banking regulator all but shutting down its banking affiliate. The company slashed more than 4,500 jobs in the aftermath of those curbs. The Reserve Bank of India forced a formal wind-down in April by canceling the operating license of independent affiliate Paytm Payments Bank. The banking affiliate has laid off most of its staff over the past two years, with some getting absorbed elsewhere in the fintech group. The bank will let go of its few hundred remaining staff as it shuts down. Founded by Sharma in 2010, Paytm began by offeri...
