winhorse/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Kering SA ( PPRUF ) ( PPRUY ) fell in European trading after Morgan Stanley downgraded the global luxury stock to an Equal-weight rating after having it set at Overweight. The firm believes that Kering's ( PPRUF ) ( PPRUY ) turnaround remains on track but sees the upside as already largely priced into the share price. "On our updated estimates, the stock is currently trading on a 2028e P/E of ~17x, and with most of the low-hanging fruit already picked (real estate disposal, cosmetics agreement, and balance sheet fixing), we see relatively limited upside for the shares for now," highlighted analyst Edouard Aubin. Looking ahead, Aubin and his team said a continuation of the revamp of the organization, as well as greater conviction that Gucci's turnaround has legs, could be key catalysts in turning the firm positive on the stock again. Kering SA ( PPRUF ) ( PPRUY ) manages a renowned portfolio of creative fashion, leather goods, jewelry, and eyewear houses, including Gucci, Saint Laurent, and Bottega Veneta. Shares of Kering ( PPRUF ) ( PPRUY ) slid 3.3% in Paris trading on Monday.

Sunshine Seeds/iStock via Getty Images ConocoPhillips ( COP ) is a leading U.S. energy enterprise with key operations in the Lower 48 (Permian, Eagle Ford, Bakken) and a specific focus on upstream operations... which makes the firm's earnings especially sensitive to changes in petroleum prices. As opposed to Exxon Mobil ( XOM ) or Chevron ( CVX ), which are both integrated energy companies with significant downstream and midstream operational footprints, ConocoPhilips is almost entirely focused on the production of crude oil which makes the company a top bet on rising petroleum prices throughout 2026. In my opinion, the U.S.-Iran conflict could last a whole longer than the market realizes after recent peace negotiations failed , which could present a powerful earnings catalyst for ConocoPhillips and its shares. Data by YCharts Previous coverage I covered ConocoPhillips last in September 2025 -- Growth, Synergies, Cheap Valuation -- and rated shares a strong buy due to the oil and gas company disposing of more assets, raising cash for expansion and up-lifting overall production due to previous Permian-centric acquisitions. Since then, shares have soared more than 32%, with boosters kicking in especially at the end of February and throughout March as the market reacted to higher oil prices resulting from the U.S.’s war with Iran. With recent peace negotiations breaking down, I believe there is a significant risk of higher-for-longer oil prices, which would obviously a potent driver of earnings growth for ConocoPhillips. Iran war context and earnings upside The conflict between the U.S. and Israel on one side, and Iran on the other, resulted in the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz -- is one of the most vital oil arteries and chokepoints in the world -- causing petroleum prices to soar. The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly 20-21% of global petroleum trade each day, plus a considerable volume of LNG shipments despatched from Gulf countries like Qatar. Increasing...

Shutthiphong Chandaeng/iStock via Getty Images Introduction Although the S&P ( SP500 ) recovered most of its losses after the 2-week ceasefire, which is still in place at the time of writing, the index is still down slightly. Currently, I believe the market is on edge due to uncertainty surrounding the war. Core CPI jumped slightly from February, but came in cooler than expected. If the conflict in the Middle East continues, then it's likely inflation will continue to rise. As a result, I think markets will react negatively as rising inflation and recession risks linger. And the S&P is likely to see muted returns; the opposite from last year when it closed above 16% despite macro economic risks. In my opinion, I think inflation stays elevated for a while even if the conflict gets resolved. This is why I think positioning into higher-yielding investments is prudent, at least for the near to medium-term. In this article, I discuss two high-yield ETFs I like and why income-focused investors should consider them. Where Is Inflation Headed? As previously mentioned, core CPI increased 0.2%, below the 0.3% consensus. While some may see this as a win, this is not good for the overall market. Due to geopolitical tensions, year-to-date the index has seen muted returns. Seeking Alpha Reason being is because this clouds the outlook for the FED to lower interest rates. In prior articles, I mentioned how I believed we would see multiple rates cuts this year. This is largely because the President's new FED chair, scheduled to take the helm next month. Bureau of Labor Statistics While we could still see rate cuts, inflation worries will likely cause more volatility, particularly if long-term treasury yields spike. If so, I think it's probable for the market to see downside. With rising oil prices, the cost of everything goes up. While consumers still have to purchase the everyday necessities like food & gas, properly positioning your investments is also important. I've stated in pr...
