M. Suhail/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Written by Nick Ackerman Verizon Communications Inc. ( VZ ) posted its latest quarterly results, and they looked quite strong. Even better for income investors, they appear to remain committed to their dividend and growing it over the long term. The Frontier acquisition saw debt levels rise above their target levels, but they are on track to get that paid back down. They are comfortable enough with their balance sheet to be able to not only grow their dividend and pay down debt but also start repurchasing shares. Since our last update , this name has seen strong outperformance relative to the S&P 500 Index. Of course, going back further, VZ has not been doing much as the major equity index has ripped higher for several years. This would be thanks largely to the back of strong mega-cap tech moves, with the Magnificent 7 driving significant growth. VZ Performance Since Prior Update (Seeking Alpha) One doesn't typically buy VZ with the expectation of outperforming those types of names but more for the relatively high-yield and steady dividend growth. This can be an income investor's favorite, but some capital appreciation is always a nice bonus. Strong Start To 2026 And Expected Earnings Growth VZ delivered their latest quarterly results recently, and they showed a strong start to the year. They beat on the bottom line, but revenue missed estimates—though it was still growing. The results were strong enough that we saw them increase guidance for the full year 2026 from original expectations. Adjusted EPS is anticipated to grow 5-6%, from the 4-5% originally. Analysts are also enthusiastic as they expect a trend of growing earnings in the coming years. VZ EPS History and Estimates (TIKR) At this point, they still seem a bit cautious with the estimate at 5.33% YoY growth. In the last 12 quarters, VZ has surprised to the upside on the EPS figure 10 times—one slight miss and in-line for another. Strong Dividend Yield With Commitm...

00:00 Antoine There is clearly, you know, an issue with sentiment uh for Nvidia. I mean, the fundamentals are extremely strong, you know. Uh so it's clearly not like the issue is clearly not there. They're they're reporting, you know, a quarter above expectations, they're guiding above. uh the forecasts are just barely in line with the order uh visibility, you know, that Jensen shared at GTC in March 2026. So it doesn't imply any upside, any new orders, you know, relative to uh uh GTC. So that that actually leaves room for some further revisions. And if you take, you know, even these earnings that leave room for further revisions, uh Nvidia is actually trading on 18 times um 2027 EPS that corresponds to these orders, you know, that Nvidia has already booked. So clearly the issue is with sentiment. And so now I think um the interesting question to ask is, you know, what would drive a re-rating? And I think that the debate is actually shifting now to 2028. You know, everybody's concerned that uh, you know, we might be in a bubble, that uh, you know, Nvidia's revenues and margins potentially could fall of a cliff, you know, beyond 2027. And actually, you know, we already start to have some visibility beyond 2028. 02:00 Collette Most importantly now is a focus in terms of the CPU and how important this is to the workloads as well. And we have the ability not only to just be inside uh Grace Blackwell as well as what we have in terms of our systems with Vera Ruben. We now have an opportunity to also have what we call a standalone uh CPU and selling that. We have customers already looking at that opportunity to provide standalone along with our Vera Ruben and our Grace Blackwell together. That together, we believe for this year can be a total of about $20 billion worth of 03:13 Speaker C And Antoine, um I want to ask wanted to ask you about this because it seemed like on the call maybe that they were just talking about the $20 billion visibility this year as the standalone...

SpaceX has finally released its highly anticipated preliminary prospectus ahead of a massive initial public offering expected in June. SpaceX may be a generational company run by a generational founder in Elon Musk, but its financials leave much to be desired. What makes them even harder to get behind is that SpaceX, according to various media reports, is looking to raise $75 to $80 billion at a valuation of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion, making it the largest IPO of all time. There's a lot to unpack, but let's take a look at some of its high-level financials. Losing money with revenue growth that's nothing special On a consolidated basis, SpaceX generated nearly $18.7 billion in revenue in 2025, a 33% increase from 2024. Revenue in the first quarter of 2026 of nearly $4.7 billion increased about 15% year over year. SpaceX lost over $4.9 billion in 2025 and $4.3 billion in the first quarter of 2026, during which the company acquired xAI, the owner of the digital artificial intelligence assistant Grok. Adjusted EBITDA in these periods was nearly $6.6 billion and $1.13 billion, respectively. The company has three key segments: space operations, which include launching crewed missions for clients such as NASA in a cost-efficient manner; Starlink satellite internet; and artificial intelligence. SpaceX's best-performing business The company's strongest segment right now is by far Starlink, which generated an operating profit of $4.4 billion in 2025 and adjusted EBITDA of nearly $7.2 billion, including the add-back of nearly $2.4 billion of depreciation and amortization. In the first quarter of 2026, Starlink generated an operating profit of nearly $1.2 billion and adjusted EBITDA of over $2 billion. Starlink is a capital-intensive business because it requires establishing a low-Earth-orbit satellite network. The network had 9,600 broadband and mobile satellites as of March 31 of this year. At the end of the first quarter of this year, Starlink had also grown to an impress...

The surge in the cost of jet fuel since the start of the Iran war is highlighting the vast disparity in how well individual airlines protect themselves against a price spike. It’s not unusual for an oil-price shock to become an existential crisis for some carriers. The Iran war is no different, with the forecast hit to profits so far in the billions of dollars. But there’s a stark difference between those that hedged well, those that hedged poorly and those that didn’t hedge at all. While airlines including Ryanair Holdings Plc and Air France-KLM have reported that hedging offset some of the price increases, other carriers from US giant United Airlines Holdings Inc. to smaller AirAsia X Bhd are more exposed. The sticking point for some airlines is that, just like buying home or auto insurance, hedging costs money. Airlines buy derivative contracts that will in theory rise in value, offsetting the increased price of jet fuel. Most of the time, that money goes down the drain when the market is calm, just like a homeowner’s fire insurance. For an industry that often runs on relatively thin margins, that extra cost counts. It’s only when supply is squeezed and prices shoot upward that the hedges pay off. Like now, as the war in Iran has jet fuel now trading around $160 a barrel, more than 60% higher than before the war. While many European and Asian airlines use derivatives to lock in their jet fuel costs, peers in the US have been historically reticent to do so. The level of coverage typically varies among carriers, ranging at the end of last year from 30% to 80% and potentially even higher. Also, the instruments they use for the hedge make a huge difference in how well-protected they are. “We continue to be well-hedged for the rest of the year,” Luis Gallego , chief executive of International Consolidated Airlines Group , which includes British Airways and Iberia, said on a recent earnings call. “This allows us to protect customers to some extent from the volatility a...

Sandisk (SNDK +5.26%) stock jumped 6.2% through 10:05 a.m. ET this morning as investors weighed news items affecting the computer memory-maker -- both good and somewhat bad news. Good news for Nvidia is great news for Sandisk On the good side of the ledger, Nvidia (NVDA 2.17%) reported monster earnings growth yesterday. Sales surged 85% year over year to a record quarterly haul of $81.6 billion. Fully 92% of this revenue came from chips sales to artificial intelligence data centers, proving the AI revolution is alive and well -- and so is the need for NAND flash memory from Sandisk. What's more, profit margins on chip sales remain superb. Nvidia boasted of a 74.9% gross profit margin in its fiscal Q1 2027, more than tripling Nvidia's quarterly net profit to $58.3 billion ($2.39 per share). And here's the kicker for Sandisk investors: It turns out Sandisk does even better on gross margin than Nvidia. Sandisk's gross margin last quarter was 78.4%! Expand NASDAQ : SNDK Sandisk Today's Change ( 5.26 %) $ 73.24 Current Price $ 1465.80 Key Data Points Market Cap $206B Day's Range $ 1378.35 - $ 1493.31 52wk Range $ 35.79 - $ 1600.00 Volume 199K Avg Vol 17M Gross Margin 56.04 % Good news for Samsung is less good news for Sandisk So that's the good news, now here's the bad (for Sandisk): Over in South Korea, workers at Samsung Electronics just announced a halt to their 18-day labor strike. Union representatives have reached an agreement with management to more fairly share AI chip profits with workers, and the union will vote to approve the new contract over the next several days. Assuming all goes well with the vote, the world's largest producer of DRAM and NAND computer memory will be back in business and running full speed, still competing head-to-head with Sandisk on price -- and now with happier workers on its payroll. This isn't necessarily bad news for Sandisk, but all things considered, it would have probably preferred to see the strike last a bit longer.

In this article BTC.CM= Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 9:23 09:23 Strategy's Michael Saylor: We expect bitcoin to go up more than the S&P 500 over time Squawk Box Bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor said the coming tokenization of financial assets could change how credit and yield are priced across the economy and pose a direct challenge to traditional banking and brokerage businesses. "The real power of tokenization is it creates a free market in credit formation and yield for asset owners," the Strategy founder and chairman said Thursday on CNBC's " Squawk Box ". "So if you can tokenize a bunch of securities, then you can shop for the best credit terms and the highest yield." By contrast, the banks effectively decide customers' financing terms in the TradFi, or traditional finance, system, he added. "In the 20th century TradFi economy your bank decides you just won't get credit, you just won't get yield, and there's not a single thing you can do about it," Saylor said. "So tokenization is a free market in capital, and it creates a higher velocity and a higher volatility for capital assets." Saylor's comments go beyond the usual pitch for tokenizing "real-world" assets like stocks, bonds, funds and private credit. Enthusiasts often tout blockchain technology's potential to bring faster settlement, around-the-clock liquidity and broader access for retail investors to the equities market – and increasingly, trading of private company shares. The comments come as the industry is holding its breath for the proposed market structure bill known as the Clarity Act to continue to progress through Congress. If eventually signed into law it would, among many other things, create a legal framework for bringing real-world assets fully onchain. Crypto investors are also hoping to see guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission on tokenized stocks – potentially allowing blockchain-based representations of stocks to trade in parallel with t...

Andrew Harnik/Getty Images News Christopher Giancarlo, a former chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, will join Jefferies Financial Group ( JEF ) this summer as a senior adviser focused on investment banking, according to a media report. He will start at the bank in July, Bloomberg News reported, citing an interview with Giancarlo. He expects to use his industry connections as a former regulator to help market participants connect in ways that would benefit Jefferies' banking business. Known as the “crypto dad” for his early advocacy of digital assets, he led the CFTC when the Chicago Board Options Exchange and CME Group ( CME ) introduced bitcoin futures contracts, which allowed so-called self-certification of bitcoin derivatives. "There's nobody really in the space that I can't connect with," Giancarlo told Bloomberg. " So I like to think that I’ve got convening power… As Jefferies continues to build on what it’s already built is a very good platform in the digital asset space, I can help them continue to route that out." Giancarlo was originally nominated as a CFTC commissioner by President Barack Obama in 2013 and was appointed by President Donald Trump to serve as chairman in August 2017. He served in that role for just under two years. He serves on boards of several crypto-related companies, including stablecoin issuer Paxos, Bloomberg said. Furthermore, he's a senior strategic adviser to Patomak Global Partners, a consultancy formed by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins, an adviser to digital-asset bank Sygnum Bank, and an adviser to the Digital Chamber, a trade group dedicated to U.S. blockchain and crypto policy. Jefferies ( JEF ) did not immediately respond to Seeking Alpha's request for comment.
