At the recent bottom, LUV shares were trading 34% lower as oil prices ( CL1:COM ) sparked a selloff across the board, and investors/traders jumped in on the action for a quick bearish or bullish play, depending on what names you were playing. The backtracking of the Trump administration It seems that the pointing of fingers always happens after the Trump administration initiates something, and then the objective of the escalation shifts. First, the preemptive attack on Iran by Washington and Tel Aviv was framed as self-defense against an Iranian threat, which was not allowed to mature, especially around nuclear and ballistic missile programs. So, the U.S. and Israel went ahead and targeted missile production facilities and other military aspects. This is when the oil prices began to spike. Then, once Iran took a hit, it responded by closing down the Strait of Hormuz, which is a vital narrow sea passage between Iran and Oman, connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. It is one of the world’s most important chokepoints because a lot of shipments of oil and LNG pass through it. Following the closure, unsurprisingly, oil prices surged well past $90 a barrel. Now, the Trump administration has essentially switched its previous objective of why they attacked in the first place to blaming Iran for closing down the Strait. The disruption was blamed on Iran, calling the closures completely unacceptable. The trigger and the justification in this case got mixed up. The U.S. caused the escalation, and then Iran’s response was the headline reason to continue. All the while, oil prices spike well above $100 a barrel. Just a few days ago, Trump was threatening to wipe out entire civilizations if Iran didn’t open the Strait by 8 pm on a Tuesday. At this point, the price...

This week’s quarter-finals provided some classic action as this season’s competition hurtles towards its conclusion Bayern Munich had not won at the Santiago Bernabéu since May 2001, when they beat Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final on their way to becoming European champions. . Tuesday night’s match changed all that . The 29th Champions League meeting between the teams lived up to its heavyweight billing, though Bayern, superior on the night, may rue their failure to add to their 2-1 lead. Real Madrid meanwhile could point to Manuel Neuer making nine saves – not bad for a 40-year-old. “We won’t win the competition without more of these kinds of performances,” said Bayern manager Vincent Kompany of his keeper. Big trophies are rarely won without great goalkeepers and Neuer continues to play like an all-time great. Bayern’s second goal was a trademark finish from Harry Kane, who made the difficult look easy. The goal will also have calmed England fans’ fears that their captain will arrive at the World Cup suffering from his usual summer malaise. A word too for Luis Díaz and Michael Olise, Bayern’s brilliant wingers whose performances brought back memories of the club’s modern greats Franck Ribéry and Arjen Robben. Kompany’s team were commanding in Madrid, but may fear the backlash from the 15-times champions, the kings of comebacks. Continue reading...

PR-PhotoDesign/iStock Editorial via Getty Images This article serves as an update to my previous analysis of Diebold Nixdorf ( DBD ) that was published on September 23 . I do not often write about companies in the tech sector, but DBD’s operations are connected to banking and financial services, two industries which I have covered in detail over the last year in Seeking Alpha. I rated Diebold Nixdorf as a Buy in my initial analysis, and the stock has gained almost 40% in about six and half months of time, outpacing the S&P 500 by over 37%. As part of the support for my previous rating, I noted that the company’s profitability, free cash flow, and profit margins were all trending in the right direction. DBD was also making progress on reducing its debt load which would help reduce future interest costs. On April 7 , Diebold Nixdorf announced that it would be added to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index on April 10. This has given the stock an addition boost this week as it creates buying pressure for index funds who now need to add DBD to their holdings. Fundamentally, this change does little for Diebold Nixdorf except give additional validity to a company that declared bankruptcy less than three years ago . The better news for DBD shareholders is that progress continues to be made with the company’s operations, and expectations for FY 2026 seem to be getting stronger. When I last wrote about the company, earnings per share for this year were expected to be around $4.96. In just over half a year’s time, that number now stands at $5.49. Even with this week's index-related price spike, the stock still trades at a forward PE below 15. I think this week’s run-up in price may settle back down in the next week or so, but over the long-term, Diebold Nixdorf still looks like a buy. Company Overview Diebold Nixdorf is a retail technology company that has a history dating back over 160 years . The company’s first product was a safe, and today’s version of DBD is still heavily connected...
