Nu Holdings (NYSE:NU) , a digital banking provider in Latin America, closed Thursday at $12.12, up 4.12%. The stock moved higher after the board approved a new $1 billion share repurchase program. Investors are watching how the buyback offsets recent leadership and credit-risk concerns. Trading volume reached 66.9 million shares, nearly 25% above its three-month average of 53.6 million shares. Nu Holdings IPO'd in 2021 and has grown 17% since going public. The S&P 500 rose 0.41% to 7,585, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.09% to 26,831. Among digital banking peers, Banco Bradesco closed at $3.39 (+0.30%), and Itaú Unibanco finished at $7.64 (+0.66%), lagging Nu Holdings’ buyback-fueled rebound. With Nu’s stock down 28% so far in 2026, I certainly don’t mind seeing management jump in and say they plan to buy back $1 billion in stock over the next year. However, investors need to realize that the scope of the buybacks isn’t massive. Home to a $57 billion market cap, the buybacks would theoretically reduce Nu’s share count by less than 2%. Not bad news, but nothing to overreact to either. Continue reading

da-kuk/E+ via Getty Images Planet Labs ( PL ) raised its full-year revenue outlook after reporting record first-quarter results, benefiting from growing demand for satellite imagery and geospatial intelligence services from defense, government and commercial customers. Shares fell 2.9% in extended trading Thursday. The company now expects fiscal-year revenue of $425 million to $441 million, compared with prior guidance of $415 million to $440 million, reflecting continued momentum across its customer base. The updated forecast highlights the increasing importance of Earth-observation data as governments and businesses seek real-time insights into military conflicts, supply chains, natural disasters and environmental conditions. For investors, the results suggest Planet Labs is capitalizing on a favorable backdrop of rising defense spending and growing demand for geospatial intelligence, while building a substantial backlog that provides greater visibility into future revenue. First-quarter revenue climbed 42% from a year earlier to a record $94.2 million, exceeding analyst expectations for $90.1 million. The company also reported an adjusted loss of $0.03 a share, narrower than Wall Street forecasts for a loss of $0.04 a share. Planet Labs ( PL ) said its contracted backlog expanded 72% year over year to more than $906 million, strengthening confidence in future growth and supporting investments in research, product development and customer acquisition. The company derives more than half of its revenue from defense and intelligence customers and counts NATO and the U.S. Navy among its clients. Earlier Thursday, Planet Labs announced both a contract extension and a new award from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. Commercial operations also contributed to growth during the quarter, while demand from government agencies continued to be supported by applications such as agricultural monitoring and tracking illegal deforestation. Planet Labs ( PL ) shares have...

Still, WTI crude oil is up 67% on the year, with Energy stocks holding big 2026 gains. Within the oil & gas space, Chevron ( CVX ) has posted a more-than-healthy 32% total return. I had a buy rating on CVX back in November, and shares are up 24% since then, outperforming the S&P 500 by 15 percentage points. With Q1 numbers in hand and a much higher WTI forward futures curve, I am lifting my CVX price target and reiterating a buy rating. I’ll offer color on the quarter and a refreshed technical situation today. Oil Outperforming CVX YTD, Both Beating SPY StockCharts .com Back in May, Chevron reported a solid set of quarterly results. Q1 non-GAAP EPS of $1.41 topped the Wall Street consensus forecast of $0.97, while revenue of $48.6 billion, up 2% from the same period a year earlier, was a material $4.1 billion miss. Its worldwide and US production rose by 15% and 24%, respectively. The firm returned $6 billion to shareholders during the January through March period. But shares dipped 1.4% in the session that followed, which was actually the worst earnings-day change since January 2025. Looking ahead to the July report, the options market prices in a larger-than-average 5.1% earnings-related stock price swing based on the at-the-money straddle expiring after the release, according to data from Option Research & Technology Services. CVX now sports a moderate 29.7% implied volatility percentage, while short interest on the $374 billion market cap stock is low at 1.01%.

Almonty Industries ( ALM ) announced on Wednesday a plan to raise $700M via a convertible senior notes offering due 2031, with an option to add another $100M. The structure allows debt to be converted into equity, which means possible future share dilution for existing shareholders. The proceeds will be used to refinance existing debt, strengthen working capital, and fund potential acquisitions and general operations. A part of the proceeds will be used for financial hedging (capped call deals) to reduce dilution risk from future share conversion. The deal is still subject to TSX and regulatory approval before closing. The stock crashed ~12.48% at ~$18.10 in the after-hours trading session. Source: Press Release More on Almonty Industries Inc.

AT&T and Verizon lost an attempt to overturn fines for selling users’ real-time location data without consent, as the Supreme Court ruled today that the Federal Communications Commission process for issuing financial penalties did not violate the right to a jury trial. AT&T convinced the US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit to overturn its fine last year, while Verizon lost in the 2nd Circuit. The Supreme Court took up the case to resolve the circuit split and reversed the 5th Circuit decision in today's ruling , which was 8-1 with Justice Clarence Thomas dissenting. AT&T and Verizon were fined a total of $104 million by the FCC in 2024 for violations revealed in 2018 . The carriers paid their fines and challenged them in circuit appeals courts, where judges’ panels ruled on the cases. Carriers claimed this system deprived them of the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial. Read full article Comments
