US stocks headed for a positive open on Monday as traders remained hopeful that Washington and Tehran would strike a peace deal, even amid a rise in oil prices. Futures for the S&P 500 Index advanced 0.2% at 8:10 a.m. in New York, putting the gauge on track to extend gains for an eighth-straight session. The technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index climbed 0.1% , while Brent crude rose 2.8% to trade at around $ 94 per barrel. “It’s Groundhog Day for the markets as the Iran-US ceasefire is tested, while conflicting noises are made about the prospects for a peace deal,” said Dan Coatsworth , head of markets at AJ Bell. Markets have been dominated by a growing belief that the US and Iran will reach some form of peace agreement, according to Daniela Hathorn , a senior market analyst at Capital.com. At the same time, the investment story around artificial intelligence has gone from strength to strength. “Together, these forces have created an environment where investors remain overwhelmingly focused on profits rather than risks,” said Hathorn. On the war front, President Donald Trump said talks over an interim peace deal between the US and Iran would “work out well,” even as both sides clashed near the Strait of Hormuz once again. Constant speculation over whether Trump would agree to deal was not helping, the US leader said in a Truth Social post. Earlier, Tehran had accused the US of sending conflicting signals and dragging out negotiations. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf , Iran’s Parliament Speaker and lead negotiator, said in a social media post that Israel’s escalation in Lebanon over the weekend and blockade on Iranian ports was “clear evidence of US noncompliance with the ceasefire.” A deal between the warring sides “looks close,” Jefferies strategist Mohit Kumar said in a note to clients on Monday morning. However, the final agreement “remains elusive.” Earnings season is beginning to wind down, with just a handful of names left to report. AI will likely be a heavy focus, wit...

peepo/iStock via Getty Images The Roundhill Space & Technology ETF ( MARS ) is Roundhill's newly issued global space ETF, created to provide investors with a concentrated portfolio of companies primarily participating in commercial and civil space development and exploration as well as defense. The investment theme has gained significant momentum since the successful lunar flyby mission of Artemis II, setting the pace for future lunar and deep space exploration missions. With growing demand for commercial satellite communications infrastructure, MARS can be an appealing investment strategy to cover a variety of companies that participate in launch, spacecraft development, and satcom & imaging infrastructure, among others. Given the growing investments in the space economy, I am recommending MARS with a Buy rating. Investment Thesis for MARS MARS was designed to focus most heavily on civil and commercial space technology companies and, to a lesser degree, the defense market. While defense plays a critical role in the development of the space economy for reconnaissance and missile detection satellite infrastructure, the portfolio is more heavily focused on the commercial and exploration side of the market. While the portfolio does invest in more defense-based companies, the large majority of the strategy is geared towards civil and commercial, which inadvertently is covered by both companies that primarily focus on defense technology and companies in which defense is a component of their total customer base. One of the biggest announcements for the civil side of the space economy was by Jared Isaacman , Administrator of NASA, to expand the Artemis program to a monthly launch cadence for lunar missions. Accordingly, the program will involve sending robotic landers to the moon to develop a permanent lunar outpost by 2030, a critical task for creating the capabilities to support life on the moon. In May 2026 , Isaacman set the stage for manned lunar missions under the Ar...

imaginima/E+ via Getty Images Energy stocks are drawing investor attention as analysts continue adjusting earnings expectations across the sector amid shifting oil prices, refining margins, and demand outlooks. Companies with improving earnings estimates often stand out in quantitative screening models, as upward EPS revisions can signal strengthening business fundamentals and improving market sentiment. Seeking Alpha’s EPS Revision Quant Grades rank stocks based on changes in analysts’ earnings estimates, using a grading scale that ranges from F to A+. The latest screen highlights a diverse group of energy companies spanning oil and gas exploration and production, refining and marketing, storage and transportation, and energy equipment and services. Market capitalizations among the group range from roughly $340 million to nearly $2 billion. Leading the rankings are four companies with the highest “A” EPS Revision Grade: CrossAmerica Partners LP ( CAPL ), Energy Services of America Corporation ( ESOA ), Green Plains ( GPRE ), and Riley Exploration Permian ( REPX ). Despite sharing the same top EPS revision grade, the companies carry different overall Quant Ratings. Green Plains ( GPRE ) and Riley Exploration Permian ( REPX ) currently hold “Strong Buy” Quant Ratings, while CrossAmerica Partners ( CAPL ) and Energy Services of America ( ESOA ) are rated “Hold.” Several additional energy names earned strong “A-” EPS Revision Grades, including ProFrac Holding ( ACDC ), Global Partners LP ( GLP ), and Kosmos Energy ( KOS ). Among the group, Kosmos Energy stands out with the highest overall Quant Rating at 4.89, reflecting strength across multiple quantitative categories beyond earnings revisions alone. The screen also includes Kimbell Royalty Partners ( KRP ), Dorian LPG ( LPG ), and SandRidge Energy ( SD ), each of which received “B” EPS Revision Grades while representing various segments of the broader energy market, including royalty partnerships, liquefied petroleum...
