felixmizioznikov/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Champion Homes, Inc. ( SKY ) reported a solid end to the company's fiscal 2026. The factory-built housing manufacturer has shown great stability in a highly turbulent housing market backdrop, underlining the manufactured housing market's more defensive nature, but also Champion's good commercial performance as the company continues to bolster its retail network through acquisitions. The outlook is still volatile going into FY2027. I initiated the stock at a Sell rating back in an August 2023 article on the stock, titled " Skyline Champion: Deteriorating Bottom Line Worries Me ". The stock has since returned 12%, clearly underperforming the S&P 500's 71% gain. Seeking Alpha Champion Homes Q4 Review Champion's Q4 report from the January-March period was good when considering broad housing market conditions. Traditional homebuilders have been weighed down by high mortgage rates and very low overall affordability as housing prices remain elevated despite more recent pressure; housing demand has remained incredibly weak. Macroeconomic pressure is clearly seen in homebuilders' recent financial results. Housing Prices (FRED) Contrary to traditional homebuilders, Champion's results showed good stability. Revenues came in at $621.3 million, even up by 4.6% year-on-year despite the challenging sector backdrop. The number of sold homes declined by -0.6% in the U.S. market to 5908, but Champion managed to increase the average sales price by 4.6% through an improved product mix and sales channel dynamics. The adjusted gross margin stood stable year-on-year at 25.7%, not showing significant pressure despite generally downward trending housing prices and significant inflationary pressures. Champion's pricing power has remained good. Through a good increase in gross profit and stable SG&A expenses, Champion managed to increase adjusted EBITDA by 6.3% to $55.9 million. The bottom-line result is in stark contrast to most sector peers...

Taiwan Semiconductor Expands Employee Bonuses Separately, Taiwan Semiconductor CEO C.C. Wei told employees the company expects average profit-sharing payouts for Taiwan-based staff to rise more than 30% this year as surging AI-driven demand continues boosting earnings and margins.

Taiwan Semiconductor, which sits at the center of the global AI semiconductor supply chain, more than doubled March-quarter earnings over the past two years to 572.5 billion New Taiwan dollars while lifting gross margin to 66% this year. The company previously said its full-year employee profit-sharing growth should exceed last year's pace after expanding the bonus pool to about 103 billion New Taiwan dollars in 2025, up 46.6% year over year.

(RTTNews) - Stocks are likely to move to the upside in early trading on Tuesday, adding to the gains posted in the previous session. The major index futures are currently pointing to a modestly higher open for the markets, with the S&P 500 futures up by 0.2 percent. A positive reaction to some of the latest earnings news may generate early buying interest, with shares of Bank of America (BAC) moving notably higher in pre-market trading after the financial giant reported better than expected second quarter earnings. Health insurance giant UnitedHealth (UNH) is also likely to move to the upside after reporting second quarter earnings that exceeded analyst estimates. On the other hand, shares of Morgan Stanley (MS) are seeing significant pre-market weakness even though the company reported better than expected second quarter earnings. Traders are also digesting the latest U.S. economic news, including a Commerce Department report showing U.S. retail sales came in unchanged in the month of June. The Commerce Department said retail sales came in flat in June after rising by an upwardly revised 0.3 percent in May. Economists had expected retail sales to come in unchanged compared to the 0.1 percent uptick originally reported for the previous month. Excluding a sharp drop in sales by motor vehicle and parts dealers, retail sales climbed by 0.4 percent in June after inching up by 0.1 percent in May. Ex-auto sales were expected to creep up by 0.1 percent. The Labor Department released a report on Tuesday showing import prices in the U.S. were unexpectedly flat in the month of June. The report said import prices were unchanged in June after dipping by a revised 0.2 percent in May.

Dwelly , a UK startup that acquires real estate property managers and introduces artificial intelligence to their business, is in discussions to raise around $200 million in equity and debt financing, according to people familiar with the matter. Venture capital investor General Catalyst led Dwelly’s previous fundraise and is expected to participate in the new round, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private. Spokespeople for Dwelly and General Catalyst declined to comment. The startup’s valuation isn’t clear. Dwelly, formed by former Uber Technologies Inc. and Gett executives, is part of a wave of “rollup” companies that are buying up smaller firms in traditional sectors and imbuing their operations with AI to boost efficiencies and cut costs. Investor appetite has grown for startups applying the tech to operationally complex sectors such as legal services, accounting, construction and real estate. The appeal is turning businesses that might be modestly profitable into high-growth operations. Other rollup deals this year include the $6.3 billion acquisition of Global Business Travel Group Inc. by Long Lake, one of General Catalyst’s portfolio companies, and Thrive Holdings’ $100 million investment into Shield Technology Partners, a startup that acquires IT service companies and uses AI to automate support operations. While many property tech companies previously focused on listings marketplaces or consumer search, a newer generation of startups such as Dwelly is betting that the bigger opportunity is in automating the operational layer of property management. Dwelly uses AI to speed up some of the back-and-forth communications between landlords and tenants, from verifying an individual’s details to property maintenance and rent collection. The startup raised £32 million ($43 million) in equity led by General Catalyst and £37 million in debt from Trinity Capital , Fortune reported in February. The startup at the time had acquired 10 ...

Russia’s crude exports are tracking near the highest levels so far this year, as the Kremlin continues to bank a dividend from the three-month-long war in the Middle East. Four-week average crude shipments were 3.66 million barrels a day in the period to May 24, little changed from 3.65 million in the 28 days to May 17, tanker-movements data compiled by Bloomberg show. Volumes so far this year are about 100,000 barrels a day higher than 2025 and exceed the annual averages for each year since Moscow’s troops invaded Ukraine in 2022. Exports of Russian crude have become vital for key buyers China and India following Tehran’s effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz in the early days of its conflict with the US and Israel, which has sparked the most severe oil supply shock in history. The move halted about 15 million barrels a day of crude flows from the Persian Gulf, with only about one-third of that diverted to other routes, leaving refiners scrambling for alternatives. Recent increases in Moscow’s crude flows have come as Kyiv has switched the focus of its drone attacks to Russia’s refineries, and away from export terminals, which it had targeted earlier this year. Moscow has been one of few big winners from the Middle East conflict, with prices for its crude soaring alongside global benchmarks and US President Donald Trump throwing Moscow another lifeline by waiving sanctions on its oil shipments, making it easier for Indian processors, in particular, to boost purchases. Deliveries to India this month are set to average about 1.85 million barrels a day, almost 70% higher than they were in February, before the US and Israel attacked Iran. With daily shipments in the past four weeks running about 300,000 barrels higher than during the first quarter, the amount of Russian oil at sea is also edging up, reaching 119 million barrels on Sunday, up by about 20% from a mid-April low. Almost all of that is now on ships in transit, rather than idling at sea, tanker-tracking ...
