Alex Cristi /iStock via Getty Images The NEOS Enhanced Income 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF ( CSHI ) is a hybrid fixed income exchange-traded fund designed to provide investors with exposure to the short end of the treasury yield curve. CSHI can be utilized as a component of multiple investment strategies, including duration management in a fixed income portfolio and for liquidity as a replacement for money market funds. CSHI differentiates itself through the use of a put options strategy on the S&P 500 Index ( SPX ) to enhance the income component, providing investors with an appealing monthly distribution yield relative to peer short-term Treasury strategies. About NEOS Enhanced Income 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF CSHI was launched by NEOS ETFs on August 29, 2022 on the NYSE Arca Exchange. The strategy charges a 39bps management fee, a premium over peer short-term treasury strategies, though can be justified given the structure and performance of the fund. Seeking Alpha CSHI has a relatively liquid market with $1.23b in net assets with an average of $22mm in share value changing hands on a daily basis, exhibiting strong liquidity. Accordingly, the fund has a low 30-day median bid/ask spread of 0.02%, minimizing excess trading costs when entering and exiting a position. Liquidity can be exceptionally critical when utilizing CSHI for short-term liquidity or as part of an actively managed fixed income rotational strategy. CSHI pays out a robust monthly distribution rate delivered by the combination of interest income and return of capital derived from the short-term Treasuries and derivative income strategy. For all of 2025 , 76% of the distribution was derived from net investment income while the remaining 24% was derived from return of capital. The balance between investment income and return of capital can significantly vary from month to month and may not be consistent across all holding periods. CSHI has paid out $2.45/share over the last twelve months for a yield of 4.91%. A de...

Key Points UBS sparked a rally in Micron stock yesterday. This morning, Barclays added fuel to the fire, pointing out how Micron may no longer be a cyclical stock. 10 stocks we like better than Micron Technology › Micron(NASDAQ: MU) stock joined the trillion-dollar club on Tuesday, surging 19.3% to close above $900 a share after UBS endorsed the stock with a $1,625 price target, predicting Micron will earn more than $100 per share total over the next three years. And Micron stock isn't looking back. Shares of the computer memory-maker gained another 3.4% through 10 a.m. ET this morning -- and this time, you can thank British banker Barclays for the boost. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Why Barclays loves Micron stock Barclays raised its price target on Micron stock an incredible 74% this morning, reports StreetInsider.com, predicting the shares will hit $1,175 within a year. That's a more conservative estimate than the one UBS sounded yesterday, but investors don't seem to mind, because Barclays agrees with its peer that Micron stock is a buy. The big concern about investing in semiconductor stocks historically has been that they've always been cyclical stocks in the past. Things start well when demand for computer memory is strong, and supply is weak; this causes prices to surge, and profits to fly higher. Next, companies then expand production to capture more profits, increasing supply, depressing prices -- and causing the entire industry to crash. But this may no longer be the case with Micron. As Barclays points out, Micron just signed its first-ever five-year Strategic Customer Agreement, or SCA, guaranteeing long-term supply purchases at agreed prices across a half decade. What it means for Micron Barclays believes similar SCAs may not become the norm, ending the boom-and-bu...

In an announcement on Wednesday, Robinhood says traders can now create a separate account for an AI agent and add a specific amount of money, allowing the agent to buy and sell stocks across the market The company pitches the feature as a way for traders to automate investment decisions, such as having an agent monitor specific industries and make trades, or rebalancing an existing portfolio. But it comes with a big warning from Robinhood: Agentic trading involves significant risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment. AI-driven strategies may perform poorly under certain market conditions, move quickly, and may be difficult to monitor or stop in real time… Robinhood does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any agent output, and is not responsible for losses resulting from agent-generated decisions. Though companies like Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic view AI agents as the future, the technology isn’t quite living up to the hype of serving as full-fledged personal assistants capable of completing an array of tasks without human intervention. AI agents can be useful for coding, but asking them to buy things on your behalf or fill out online forms often isn’t efficient or accurate. Users can set up an AI agent with its own trading account and a specific amount of funds. Image: Robinhood Robinhood says users will receive push notifications every time their AI agent makes a trade, view a real-time activity feed in its app, and pause AI trades at any time. Users can link AI agents to the platform through the model context protocol (MCP), an open standard that connects AI systems to apps and data. It’s rolling out in beta with support ...

财联社5月27日讯（编辑 夏军雄） 当地时间周三（5月27日），欧洲央行副行长路易斯·德金多斯表示，尽管全球股市不断刷新历史高位，但在地缘政治动荡、财政挑战以及估值偏高等多重因素叠加下，市场出现回调的风险“正在上升”。 “市场存在回调风险，因为当前市场估值已经相当高、相当昂贵……从我们的角度来看，最值得担忧的核心因素是地缘政治风险，”德金多斯周三在接受媒体采访时称。 他补充称：“除此之外，我们还面临欧洲的财政状况问题，以及非银行金融机构的问题，主要包括私人信贷和私募股权机构，以及这些非银行机构与银行体系之间的关联。因此，这是多种风险因素的叠加。” 德金多斯表示，伊朗战争持续时间的长短，可能成为决定市场风险程度的关键因素。目前市场普遍押注冲突将迅速结束。 “市场目前的定价逻辑是，这场冲突很快就会结束。如果事实并非如此，那么市场认知可能会发生变化。这再叠加其他因素……可能会引发市场回调，”他说。 高盛在近日的一份报告中表示，伊朗冲突已开始对欧洲经济形成明显冲击，但整体影响仍弱于2022年俄乌冲突时期。本轮欧洲天然气市场冲击相对可控，但油价上涨可能更持久，从而持续推高通胀压力。 欧洲央行政策前景 尽管欧元区4月通胀率已升至3%，欧洲央行目前仍将关键利率维持在2%不变。 欧洲央行行长拉加德此前多次强调，即便当前通胀上升可能只是暂时性的，欧洲央行也准备在必要时进一步加息。不过，她同时表示，央行将继续采取“依赖数据”的政策路径。 欧元区下一次通胀数据将于6月2日公布，欧洲央行下一次议息会议则将在6月10日至11日举行。 德金多斯表示，权衡通胀风险与经济增长风险使各国央行陷入“两难境地”。 “我认为，对于利率走势，目前并不存在任何既定结论。相关讨论仍将保持开放，所有因素都会被纳入考量和平衡，”他补充道。 欧洲央行管理委员会成员、法国央行行长德加洛周二表示，欧洲政策制定者“将采取一切必要措施”，以确保通胀回到目标水平。 他说：“如果代表欧洲央行来说，这意味着我们会采取一切必要措施，在中期内将通胀重新拉回2%的目标水平。市场对此可以放心。”

Pavel Kot/iStock via Getty Images Market review and outlook The Bloomberg 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index returned 0.28% in Q1, its lowest quarterly return since Q4 2024 (-0.02%). Through the first two months of the year, the index returned 0.75% as economic data remained broadly resilient despite concerns around the February sell-off in software stocks, a key tariff decision by the Supreme Court and the growing drumbeat of war in the Middle East. The US and Israel launched combat operations against Iran on February 28, and the markets spent most of March reeling from the ongoing conflict, resulting in Brent crude oil experiencing its biggest quarterly increase since the Gulf War in 1990. While one normally thinks of a flight-to-quality trade as a rally in Treasury yields as investors move away from risk assets to safer alternatives, this was not the case in March as rates pushed higher across the curve. The Fed held rates steady at the March 18 meeting and avoided any kind of hints about the future path of rates. Despite concerns around the impact of higher energy prices on inflation due to the conflict, no participants viewed a 2026 hike as appropriate at this time. At his press conference, Chairman Jerome Powell alleviated some concern around the leadership of the Federal Reserve, stating that he would remain as chair pro tempore until his replacement is confirmed. Updates by sector Treasury The entire Treasury yield curve pushed higher in Q1, with most of the shift taking place in March after combat operations began in the Middle East. The 2-year Treasury yield climbed 41.8 basis points (BPs) in March, marking its biggest monthly move since October 2024 when ongoing strength in economic news had investors reconsidering rate cut expectations. The dramatic shift in March was more than enough to offset some of the compression in yield during the first two months of the year, resulting in an increase of 32 bps during Q1. But the trend higher impacted the entire cur...

Investors in Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. HPP need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Jun 18, 2026 $22.50 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today. What is Implied Volatility? Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy. What do the Analysts Think? Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Hudson Pacific Properties shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Hudson Pacific Properties is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) in the REIT and Equity Trust – Other industry that ranks in the Top 36% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter has moved from 22 cents per share to 24 cents in that period. Given the way analysts feel about Hudson Pacific Properties right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected. Looking to Trade Options?

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) edged higher about 2% in early Wednesday trading after new European data showed passenger car registrations rose again in April, helped by stronger demand for electrified vehicles and a sharp jump in Tesla sales. Tesla registrations in the European Union climbed 46.5% from a year earlier to 10,654 units in April, lifting year-to-date volumes to 89,429 units, up 45.8%. The broader EU market also expanded, with car registrations rising 5.1% to 972,314 units, marking a third straight month of growth. Tesla's gains came as electric vehicle deliveries across the region jumped 38%, while hybrid-electric models remained the most popular choice. Battery-electric cars held a 19.7% share of the market, and plug-in hybrids accounted for 9.6%, Tesla data from the ACEA showed. Tesla is also seeking approval for its full self-driving technology in the EU. At the same time, petrol-car registrations fell 17.7% through April, with declines in France, Spain, Italy and Germany.

Thinglass Dell ( DELL ) is expected to report robust first-quarter earnings on May 28 after the closing bell, with analysts bullish on its near-term performance but remaining cautious on profitability for the second half of the year. The PC-maker is projected to report an EPS of $2.90 , translating to an 87.1% Y/Y jump, while revenue is estimated to soar 51.3% Y/Y to $35.38B. Over the last 3 months, EPS estimates have seen 15 upward revisions and 1 downward move, while revenue estimates have seen 15 upward revisions and no downward move, representing an upbeat sentiment among analysts. Earlier this month, Morgan Stanley upped its price target on the firm, projecting strong near-term results driven by GP/AI server strength and large enterprise spend pull-forward. Analysts led by Erik Woodring see a blowout F1Q, an above-consensus F2Q guide, and expect the management to raise full-year EPS guidance to over $13.50 from $12.90. "That said, we remain cautious on 2H profitability given memory inflation/supply shortages have materially intensified over the last 90 days, and 1H demand pull-forward elevates the risk of demand destruction and margin pressure in 2H," said Woodring and his team. Seeking Alpha’s Oakoff Investments also anticipates the company will deliver a double beat in Q1 earnings and raise FY2027 guidance, supported by a record $43 billion AI server backlog and strong demand. “DELL signed ~$34.1 billion in new AI orders in Q4 alone, and I see no signs that this momentum weakened in Q1 2027—another record is likely coming for DELL's backlog in Q1, and if it does, it's going to be reason for the management to give bullish projections,” the analyst said. Over the last 2 years, DELL has beaten EPS estimates 75% of the time and has beaten revenue estimates 63% of the time.

Key Points Samsara's AI platform becomes stickier as more fleets, roads, and operations generate real-world data. Government contracts and embedded software create switching costs and long-term recurring revenue. This is a bet that physical infrastructure increasingly depends on AI-powered operational intelligence. 10 stocks we like better than Samsara › Warren Buffett has said something close to this for decades: Invest in businesses you understand, that have durable competitive advantages, and that sit in the middle of something the world won't stop needing. He's talked about railroads, insurance companies, consumer staples. He probably hasn't talked much about fleet management software. That's fine. The principle still applies. Samsara (NYSE: IOT) might not be the first company Buffett would write about, but the economic logic behind it -- a business deeply embedded in the physical operations of thousands of companies, with high switching costs and a data moat that grows every single day -- is exactly the kind of thing he'd recognize if he looked closely.​ Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » The business that runs in the background Every time a garbage truck picks up trash in a city, a school bus drops off a student, a delivery van navigates through weather, or a construction crew checks into a job site, there's a reasonable chance that Samsara's platform is watching, logging, and learning. The company operates what it calls a Connected Operations Platform, pulling data from internet of things (IoT) sensors and cameras mounted on vehicles and equipment, then feeding that data into AI models that help operators make faster, better decisions. Most people ignore this kind of technology, but Samsara's platform now draws on data from more than 80 billion miles driven annually and over 12...

Alibaba BABA is leaning on its cloud and overseas commerce engines to argue that better days lie ahead, but its fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 results, reported on May 13, leave that recovery far from assured. The trigger is clear: accelerating growth in two strategic units, the company is positioning itself as the foundation of its next chapter. The Cloud Intelligence Group delivered the quarter's strongest showing, with revenues rising 38% year over year to RMB 41,626 million. Growth from external customers quickened to 40%, and AI-related product revenues reached RMB 8,971 million — an 11th straight quarter of triple-digit gains, now accounting for 30% of external cloud revenues. Cloud adjusted EBITA climbed 57% to RMB 3.8 billion, and management has continued expanding international data-center capacity across markets. International commerce showed steadier, more modest progress. Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group revenues grew roughly 5.5%, with international retail up 5% to RMB 28,917 million and wholesale up 9% to RMB 6,512 million. The segment's adjusted EBITA loss narrowed sharply to RMB 138 million from RMB 3,574 million a year earlier, aided by improved AliExpress efficiency, while Alibaba.com broadened its AI tools with the launch of the Accio Work agent. Yet the broader picture undercuts the recovery thesis. Group revenues rose just 3% to RMB 243.4 billion, adjusted EBITA collapsed 84% to RMB 5.1 billion, and non-GAAP net income fell 99.7% to RMB 86 million as heavy spending on AI infrastructure, quick commerce and user experience eroded profitability. Free cash flow turned negative for the year. The cloud and international momentum is genuine, but until that growth converts into durable earnings, Alibaba's path back to a sustained rerating remains uncertain.

格隆汇5月27日｜美股市场存储概念股集体下跌，其中，Rambus跌8%，慧荣科技跌近7%，闪迪跌3%，西部数据和美光科技跌幅在1%以内。

云内容管理平台Box近日宣布，公司管理团队将出席两场即将举行的投资者会议。首席财务官Dylan Smith和首席运营官兼首席法务官David Leeb将参与相关活动。 会议安排 根据公告，Box将参加以下两场会议： 美银证券2026年全球技术会议将于2026年6月3日上午8：40（太平洋时间）在旧金山举行。Davidson 2026年技术与消费会议将于2026年6月11日上午8：00（中部时间）在纳什维尔举行。 两场活动均将在Box投资者关系网站进行网络直播，回放将在直播结束后约12小时提供，并可保留365天。 Q1财报：营收增速创12个季度新高 就在此次会议宣布前一日，Box刚刚公布了2026财年第一季度财报，多项指标超出市场预期。 财报显示，第一季度营收同比增长11%至3.0594亿美元，超出市场预期的3.0409亿美元，创下逾12个季度以来的最快营收增速。调整后每股收益为0.37美元，高于分析师预期的0.36美元，去年同期为0.30美元。 按美国通用会计准则计算，公司净利润为1190万美元，合每股0.08美元，去年同期为350万美元。公司毛利率维持在79%左右，营业利润率达到28%，均超出管理层预期。 AI战略驱动增长，Enterprise Advanced持续渗透 公司联合创始人兼首席执行官Aaron Levie在财报电话会上表示，Box正在向“智能内容管理平台”转型，通过AI能力帮助企业释放非结构化数据价值。第一季度推出的新Box Agent和Box Automate成为核心产品亮点，支持自然语言交互完成文档分析、内容生成等工作流。 作为公司高端产品线的Enterprise Advanced，其净留存率高于公司整体105%的水平，定价较Enterprise Plus高出30%-40%。目前Enterprise Advanced已贡献约10%的营收。 全年展望与分析师预期 公司同步发布业绩指引：预计第二季度营收约3.19亿美元，调整后每股收益0.39美元；2027财年全年营收约12.8亿美元，调整后每股收益1.56美元。 财报发布后，多家华尔街机构更新了评级。值得注意的是，William Blair分析师Jason Ader于3月将Box评级从“跑赢大盘”下调至“与大盘持平”。目前分析师平均目标价约32.25美元，较近期交易价存在约24%的上行空间。 Box...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Micron Technology (MU, Financials) just joined Wall Street's $1 trillion club, and the reason is easy to understand: investors want more ways to bet on the AI boom. Shares jumped 19% Tuesday after UBS raised its price target to $1,625 from $535. The firm said stronger demand for memory chips and longer-term supply deals could make Micron's earnings more stable than in past cycles. That matters because AI data centers do not run on graphics chips alone. They also need large amounts of memory to move and process data quickly. Micron has become one of the biggest winners from that shift. Demand is tight, prices are rising and investors are starting to treat memory as a core part of the AI buildout. The rally has been huge. Micron's stock has more than tripled this year and crossed $1 trillion in market value for the first time. Now the hard part begins. Micron has to prove this is not just another short memory-chip boom, but a more durable cycle driven by AI spending. The next test will be whether demand stays strong enough to support the company's new valuation.

On a generally "up" day for semiconductor stocks, shares of Intel (INTC 3.27%) stock are slumping Wednesday morning, down 3.5% through 10:15 a.m. ET. You can probably blame Northland Capital for that. Beware the AI pullback As StreetInsider.com reports, Northland downgraded Intel stock to "market perform" (i.e., hold) yesterday, citing valuation concerns and worries about the health of the artificial intelligence economy. AI stocks depend on a virtuous cycle, you see, in which demand for AI services causes AI companies to build giant data centers, and outfit them with AI chips manufactured by companies like Intel. Problem is, the AI companies themselves -- the so-called "hyperscalers" -- are running into a cash crunch. With 100% of operating cash flow already committed to buying chips, hyperscalers have loaded up with $260 billion in industrywide debt and stopped buying back their own stock. This suggests there's no spare cash left to spend on buying even more AI chips -- in which case, there may be a ceiling on how much Intel can grow. Expand NASDAQ : INTC Intel Today's Change ( -3.27 %) $ -4.04 Current Price $ 119.48 Key Data Points Market Cap $621B Day's Range $ 117.10 - $ 125.26 52wk Range $ 18.96 - $ 132.75 Volume 1.9M Avg Vol 119.6M Gross Margin 35.90 % What this means for Intel Now it's important to note that this is not a problem limited to Intel. (Northland actually downgraded two other semiconductor stocks at the same time it was cutting Intel.) Still, after running up more than 500% in share price over the past year, Intel stock does look particularly vulnerable to a pullback based on overvaluation. As Northland points out, Intel's data center business might still grow 40% in 2027, and Intel stock currently trades at 38 times its projected 2027 earnings. The stock's even more expensive when valued on trailing earnings, though -- costing more than 900x earnings by my estimation -- which seems a bit extreme. Intel might be "working" as a momentum stock righ...

Comparing iShares U.S. Technology ETF (IYW 0.60%) and Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT 1.10%) reveals differences in cost structure, diversification, and sector boundaries that could impact long-term portfolio efficiency. Both funds target the growth-heavy tech sector but utilize different classification standards. While the iShares fund includes communication services giants like Alphabet, the Vanguard fund focuses more strictly on information technology. Choosing between them requires balancing specific sector exposure against the drag of management fees on total returns.

On Tuesday night, Jimmy Kimmel addressed Donald Trump Jr’s wedding, the New York Knicks making it to the NBA finals and raised an eyebrow to claims that Donald Trump’s physical went “perfectly”. Jimmy Kimmel On Saturday, Donald Trump Jr married his partner, Bettina Anderson, in the Bahamas in a small ceremony attended by 40 guests “none of whom were his father”, Kimmel noted. On Truth Social, Trump wrote that he “very much wanted” to be there but felt it was “important for me to remain in Washington, DC at the White House during this important period of time”. “He had circumstances pertaining to government – and also flying to a private island makes him miss his friend Jeffrey,” Kimmel joked in reference to Jeffrey Epstein. “This is a guy who golfs two, three times a week, he’s going to UFC fights with Vanilla Ice,” said Kimmel. “He was too busy for his son’s wedding.” “But he did say Don and Bettina are going to have a great marriage, and this is a man who knows a great marriage; he’s had three of them himself.” It has been reported that a larger celebration at the White House will follow the Bahamas ceremony in the fall, with the president expected to attend. “Well, you’d hope so, they live there,” said Kimmel. “Can you imagine if they didn’t show up to that one, too? ‘We wanted to make it, but we were unable to go downstairs.’” The host then turned to discuss the Iran conflict, with Kimmel saying that Trump is “stuck in [the war] like a pig in a vat of chocolate pudding.” On Saturday, the president said that a deal with Iran was nearly finalized, but US bombs continue to strike the country. “It’s as if that Fifa peace prize means nothing to this man,” joked Kimmel. On Memorial Day, Trump posted a Truth Social message wishing a happy holiday to all, “including the Dumbocrats who disrespect our military…God bless those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I love you all.” “No one puts the ‘me’ in Memorial Day like Donald J Trump,” Kimmel said to applause. The pre...

natatravel/iStock via Getty Images Citi on Wednesday downgraded Westlake ( WLK ) to Neutral from a previous investment rating of Buy, saying weakening housing demand, softer pricing for polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, and slower recovery in building products could limit upside for the chemical producer. Analyst Patrick Cunningham cut the stock’s target price to $95 from $125. The report said PVC markets are beginning to normalize after earlier supply disruptions pushed prices higher across commodity chemicals. Unlike polyethylene markets, where feedstock disruptions tightened supply, PVC has seen fewer outages because more than 70% of China’s PVC production is tied to coal feedstocks. Citi noted that China PVC prices have already fallen roughly 21% from their March peak, while U.S. export prices were down 7% from recent highs in May. The bank said weak construction activity and ample global supply are pressuring pricing momentum. The analysts also warned that higher interest rates and inflation concerns could delay a recovery in Westlake’s housing and infrastructure products business. Citi said demand for remodeling and other large-ticket construction projects may remain sluggish through the second half of the year. PVC is a widely used plastic polymer made primarily from salt and fossil fuel feedstocks such as natural gas. It is valued for its durability, low cost and resistance to moisture, chemicals and corrosion.
