JHVEPhoto AllianceBernstein's ( AB ) assets under management fell to $839B as of March 31, 2026, from $880B at the end of February, primarily due to market depreciation, the company said on Monday. To a lesser extent, net outflows also contributed to the decline during the month. Modest net inflows in Private Wealth were offset by net outflows across Retail and Institutional channels, it said. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, preliminary firmwide net outflows were $7.2B. Total equity AUM of $327B at March 31 fell 7.9% from Feb. 28.

sefa ozel/E+ via Getty Images Sandisk ( SNDK ) continued its rally, jumping 12% by the time the markets closed on Monday, as the stock price has now quadrupled since the start of 2026. Evercore ISI initiated coverage on the stock today with an Outperform rating and a hefty $1,200 price target. Their bull case calls for a staggering price target of $2,600. "We believe SNDK is levered to one of the most attractive areas of the AI infrastructure stack—data storage, where demand is accelerating and supply remains constrained at minimum through CY28 if not beyond," said Evercore analysts, led by Amit Daryanani, in an investor note. "While concerns around peak NAND pricing and cyclicality persist, we think the current cycle is structurally tighter and more durable, underpinned by AI-driven demand and sustained supply discipline that is creating SCAs, providing memory providers with pricing floors and upfront cash payments (Strategic Contractual Agreements between cloud companies and NAND/DRAM providers)." Despite its rampant run, Evercore believes there is room for more growth. "Increased exposure to enterprise/cloud should drive a better growth vector and diversity," Daryanani said. "Currently, data center customers account for <15% of total sales, though we expect growth here to accelerate." Evercore contends Sandisk should be able to sustain high margins and increase its free cash flow. They also expect Sandisk to return value to shareholders in the form of buybacks. "While pricing remains the largest driver of upside variability, we view cost execution and mix shift as more durable contributors, supporting a structurally higher earnings profile relative to prior cycles," Daryanani noted. Sandisk will release third quarter fiscal 2026 financial results on April 30. A consensus estimate expects adjusted earnings per share of $14.23 and GAAP EPS of $13.62 on revenue of $4.65B.

Thoma Bravo is winding down its growth equity business less than five years after the software-focused investing firm debuted it, according to people familiar with the matter. Instead, it’s focusing more on its core buyouts strategy, which owns controlling interests in established firms. The money manager debuted growth equity in 2021 to take minority stakes in public and private software firms, including HubSync , a software-as-a-service tax and accounting automation company, and enterprise data intelligence firm Alation Inc. Almost a year ago, Thoma Bravo determined it couldn’t bring its expertise as a majority owner to its growth-equity investments because it has little say in their strategy or operations, the people said, asking not to be identified because the discussions aren’t public. The firm, which manages about $183 billion, opted to wind down the strategy after it finishes investing its remaining funds. Thoma Bravo declined to comment. Private Equity International reported earlier that Thoma Bravo is winding down growth equity. The firm describes itself as the world’s biggest software-focused investment manager. While its decision came before investors began widely raising alarms about the potential of artificial intelligence to disrupt software firms, Thoma Bravo — like other investors in the sector — is facing a reckoning over the health of its portfolio companies. Earlier this year, AI startup Anthropic released new tools to automate work tasks in industries including law, data services and financial research — typically the kind of companies Thoma Bravo backs. The announcements sparked fears that the innovation would doom countless businesses, and software investors including Thoma Bravo and Vista Equity Partners fielded calls from their investors and also sent emails to them to reassure their businesses were safe.

As The Worms Turn... Authored by James Howard Kunstler, "They’re holed up in a bank demanding three large pizzas, a helicopter, and a personal phone call from Sydney Sweeney..." - Greg Gutfeld on Iran’s negotiating position The Russians have a phrase for it: negotiation-incapable ( ne peregovorosposobny ). That is what the Iran delegation demonstrated during a long day of talks with the US team over the weekend in Islamabad. What part of “no nukes” didn’t they understand? All of it, apparently. The corollary question on the table — arguably more pressing for Iran — was: how much more punishment are you willing to suffer to sustain your dream of atomic bombs? You have no defenses left, no control of your air-space. Do you just want to sit in the dark for the next hundred years? Such is the obduracy of the Shia death cult. They have no friends left in the world. Russia, you think? Not really. That relationship was pegged to geopolitical dynamics that are dead and gone. Russia is much better off normalizing relations with the USA so we can both be safe and secure in our spheres of influence. Europe is busy committing suicide. In this situation, China is little more than Iran’s very unhappy customer. Maybe Uncle Xi Pooh Bear can try talking some sense to whoever is left in-charge at the IRGC. . . give up your lunatic bomb dreams and just re-open the dingdang gas station! Pretty Please! Anyway, why interfere with US operations in Hormuz? The USA is wresting control of the Persian Gulf from these maniacs who can’t be trusted to just stay open for business. Japan, the two Koreas, Indochina, India, also have to stand by with mounting frustration as these jihad-happy idiots starve Asia’s economies. A change in Iran’s attitude can’t happen soon enough and Mr. Trump is on the case. The blockade starts at 10a.m. today, Monday. Whatever’s left of Iran’s revenue stream goes out the window. Maybe they lob some rockets and drones at our ships. Maybe they hit something, maybe not. W...

ismagilov/iStock via Getty Images The AI Revolution has increasingly been compared to the last major technology paradigm shift in the U.S., largely known as the Internet Boom. And it is a good comparison on many fronts. The birth of the internet ushered in greater U.S. productivity. The huge rally in the markets from 1995 to 1999 was largely driven by the major firms driving that revolution, like Cisco Systems ( CSCO ) , much like the rally from 2023 to 2025 was spearheaded by those on the vanguard of the AI revolution, like NVIDIA Corporation ( NVDA ) . Shiller PE Ratio (Multpl) Both the spikes in stocks driven by the deployment of the Internet and the AI Revolution left the overall market trading at extreme measures viewed via myriad traditional valuation metrics. Both technology paradigm shifts drove a huge surge in tech spending that substantially boosted GDP growth for years. However, that is where the comparison largely ends, and viewed dispassionately, 1999 versus 2026 ends with the conclusion that the period of the birth of the internet was significantly superior to the time we are living in now, both from an economic and market perspective. Demographics: U.S. Labor Participation Rate (FRED) Back in 1999, the Baby Boomers were in their prime earning years, and the median age of the U.S. was over four years younger with higher fertility rates as well. This led to a labor participation rate of more than 500 bps higher than where it is now. U.S. Debt to GDP ratio (FRED) More individuals in the workforce resulted in a much more favorable budget picture as well. More individuals were paying payroll and other taxes, and fewer were drawing from Social Security, Medicare, and other costly government programs. The U.S. ran a small fiscal surplus in 1999, compared to the roughly $2 trillion annual fiscal deficits in recent years. The total federal debt was less than $6 trillion as the 20th century came to a close. It is rapidly approaching $40 trillion now. U.S. Feder...

Kraken, one of the world’s oldest crypto exchanges, said it’s being extorted by a criminal group that claims to have access to some client account information. Client funds were never at risk, Nick Percoco , chief security officer for Kraken, said in a post on the X social network on Monday. The exchange didn’t say how much was being sought by the group. Some limited client information — including names and addresses — may have been stolen when client support staffers took photos and videos of the data during two incidents, in 2025 and earlier this year, according to a person familiar with the matter who declined to be named because the details haven’t been made public. The company told about 2,000 clients who may have been affected to be careful with outreach to them, the person said. A spokesperson for Cheyenne, Wyoming-based Payward Inc. , which operates under the name Kraken, declined to comment on what client information was exposed. Customer support has been a frequent target of attacks on crypto exchanges in recent years. Hackers bribed customer service agents at Coinbase Global Inc., for example, to steal client data, and then demanded a $20 million ransom to delete it. Kraken was able to repel a similar attack at that time. “What we are seeing is a shift toward the human layer,” said Ari Redbord , global head of policy and government affairs at TRM Labs. “As technical defenses get stronger, the focus moves to the people inside the system, especially those whose job is to be accessible and helpful.” Earlier this month, the decentralized finance project Drift was hit by a hack that drained nearly $300 million in digital assets from the protocol in what industry observers speculated appeared to be a social-engineering-driven attack. Kraken is “actively working with federal law enforcement across multiple jurisdictions to pursue all individuals involved and bring them to justice,” Percoco said in the X post . The extortion comes at a time when the crypto market...
