peterschreiber.media/iStock via Getty Images Dycom Industries ( DY ) soared 25% in premarket trading Wednesday after the telecommunications infrastructure contractor posted record first-quarter results that easily topped Wall Street expectations and raised its full-year outlook amid booming demand for fiber and data center construction. The rally added to an already scorching run for Dycom ( DY ), whose shares had climbed roughly 85% over the prior 12 months heading into Wednesday’s earnings report as investors increasingly bet on long-term spending tied to broadband expansion, artificial intelligence infrastructure and hyperscale data centers. Revenue and earnings crush estimates Dycom ( DY ) reported first-quarter contract revenue of $1.96 billion, up 56% from a year earlier and well above the Wall Street consensus estimate of $1.67 billion. Organic revenue growth was about 25%. Adjusted earnings came in at $4.42 a diluted share, crushing analyst expectations of $2.72 a share. Adjusted net income nearly doubled to $134.3 million from $70 million a year earlier. Net income rose to $91.3 million, or $3.00 a share, from $61.0 million, or $2.09 a share. The company also reported adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $262.5 million, up 74.6% from the prior year, while adjusted ebidta margin expanded to 13.4% from 11.9%.

Despite recent signs that US-China ties are stabilising, veteran China watcher Li Cheng argues that the two superpowers should not rush to sign a new joint communique , suggesting this would add little value as Washington is not upholding its previous commitments. The recent summit between President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Donald Trump produced a “dramatic change” in the countries’ relationship, Li said in an interview published by Chinese news website Guancha.cn. “From viewing each other as enemies to positioning each other as friends – nothing is more dramatic than this,” said the professor at the University of Hong Kong’s Centre on Contemporary China and the World, praising Trump’s transactional approach and personal rapport with Xi. Advertisement Li welcomed the shift towards framing the relationship in terms of constructive strategic stability as “pragmatic and realistic”, but expressed scepticism about a fourth communique. “In my view, if he does not even implement the existing three communiques, what is the point of signing a fourth one?” he asked, without offering specific examples of how Trump had failed to uphold the agreements. Advertisement Li also cautioned that pushing for a new document could provoke anti-China forces in the United States ahead of the midterm elections.

Pakorn Supajitsoontorn/iStock via Getty Images LexinFintech Holdings ( LX ) has been in a steady downward slide for most of the past year, with the stock now having pulled back ~80% from its March 2025 highs. I have been bullish on this name the entire ride down , which has proven to be the wrong call. The combination of very low investor interest, regulatory overhangs, and what seems to be a structurally declining business are several reasons to avoid the name. However, I remain a contrarian bull here as sentiment and expectations are now completely washed out. Yes, it would be easy to throw in the towel, and acknowledging that I have been wrong for over a year, I believe the tide could start to turn in a more favorable direction. The company's most recent earnings report showed some positive signs in the underlying trends, that being registered users, new borrowers, and loan volumes. More on the financial details below, but these are encouraging trends - albeit in the very early stages - that could start to attract more positive sentiment around the stock. LexinFintech is a leading Chinese fintech company, providing a variety of consumer financial services. The company's "Fengile" platform provides installment-based loans, akin to BNPL options in other countries. There remain many concerns about the longevity of this business model, and recent shifts in the regulatory landscape that tightened liquidity make this even more challenging. Results over the past year have been mixed at best, and investors have essentially forgotten about this stock. Staying a contrarian bull at these levels is challenging. There is not much to grasp onto as clear drivers to re-rate the stock higher. But any signs of improvement could provide fodder for investors to grab at. I believe LX is now completely washed out and is being priced for bankruptcy/failure. At these levels, it appears worth the risk to have a small position in the name, as any notable signs of improvement could easily ...

In this article AMZN Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT An Amazon device is displayed at an Amazon Devices launch event in New York City on Feb. 26, 2025. Brendan McDermid | Reuters Amazon has been using homegrown artificial intelligence technology to help users compare products and buy or reorder items on their behalf. Now the company is licensing that technology to other retailers, as it vies to be the backbone of AI shopping across the web. In a blog post Wednesday, Amazon said it's taking the "architecture, starter code and learnings" from Alexa for Shopping and packaging it together for the rest of the retail industry. The new service allows retailers to launch their own AI shopping tools tailored to their storefront, catalog and branding "in as little as 60 days," Amazon said. For Amazon, the move marks another effort to take technology built internally and sell it to other companies, including competitors, as a service. It's the approach Amazon took roughly two decades ago with Amazon Web Services, its cloud computing unit, and later with its cashier-less checkout , warehousing and supply chain services. Earlier this month, Amazon rebranded its e-commerce chatbot from Rufus to Alexa for Shopping and enabled it by default in search queries on its store. As it turns outward, the new tool is being offered by AWS, which could help reassure retailers leery of partnering and sharing data with the industry giant. Amazon said it's already signed up Tapestry -owned luxury fashion brand Kate Spade as a customer, which used the service to launch a gifting assistant. Additional retailers are "currently in testing," the company said. Across the burgeoning AI industry, leading players are targeting shoppers. OpenAI , Google and Perplexity have rolled out research tools and agents for shopping, though some of those efforts have stumbled due to technical bugs or challenges with onboarding retailers. It's also unclear if shoppers are ready to hand off the task of...

asbe/iStock via Getty Images By Anton Kharitonov Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) has moved into a noticeable decline after several months of steady growth. In recent sessions, BTC has fallen back below the $76,000 level. The key driver is a sharp reversal in capital flows within U.S. spot ETFs: institutional investors have started taking profits and reducing risk. Around $1 billion was withdrawn from Bitcoin ETFs in just one week, with some days recording record outflows exceeding $600 million. The market is particularly concerned that selling is coming not only from retail traders but also through regulated institutional products such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and ARK. This signals that large capital has temporarily shifted to a defensive stance, rather than this being just localized panic among traders. Macroeconomics and Fed policy add pressure The main negative pressure now comes not from within the crypto industry, but from the global economy. U.S. inflation is accelerating again, the market is revising expectations for Federal Reserve rates, and the likelihood of near-term rate cuts has dropped sharply. This is critical for Bitcoin: BTC remains a high-risk asset, sensitive to tight monetary conditions and reduced liquidity. Additional pressure comes from geopolitical risks and trade tensions. Investors are moving into gold and defensive assets, while the crypto market is temporarily losing its “alternative safe haven” narrative. Analysts note that this correction differs from previous cycles: BTC price is now directly influenced by ETF flows and institutional behavior, not just speculative demand. Outlook: Correction or start of a bear market? At this stage, I do not consider the current decline a full trend reversal. Rather, the market appears to be entering a phase of deeper repricing following the overheated growth at the end of 2025. However, the technical picture is deteriorating: selling pressure is increasing in the futures market, demand for protective options is ri...

Track your investments for FREE with Simply Wall St, the portfolio command center trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. Meta Platforms (NasdaqGS:META) faces shareholder votes on May 27 on proposals tying senior executive pay to child safety outcomes. Investors will also vote on a request for a detailed report on how Meta addresses antisemitism and online hate across its platforms. The votes come as Meta deals with legal penalties, courtroom defeats related to youth safety, and continuing lawsuits. Meta runs Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and other apps that sit at the center of global social media and digital advertising. With that reach, regulators and courts are scrutinizing how the company handles youth safety and harmful content. These shareholder proposals highlight how those operational issues are now feeding directly into governance questions and executive incentives. For you as an investor, the outcome of these votes could influence how Meta sets priorities on safety, compliance, and content moderation over time. Any changes to compensation structures or reporting expectations may affect risk management, legal exposure, and the balance the company strikes between engagement growth and user protections.

Trevor Williams CDW ( CDW ), TD Synnex ( SNX ), Ingram Micro ( INGM ), and Insight Enterprises ( NSIT ) were upgraded at J.P. Morgan on Wednesday as the investment firm sees the quartet benefiting from rising enterprise demand. CDW and TD Synnex were raised to Overweight from Neutral, and Ingram Micro and Insight were raised to Neutral from Underweight. The firm also established price targets of $130, $298, $27, and $105, respectively. “[We] are reversing our earlier view that a pull-forward of Enterprise demand would lead to a digestion period in 2H26 and now expect Enterprise demand to remain robust through the remainder of the year and potentially into early 2027, as Enterprise customers prioritize IT infrastructure upgrades to ensure AI readiness across both datacenters and campus environments, along with device refreshes aimed at avoiding future price increases,” analysts at the firm wrote in a note to clients. “While we do not challenge the argument that the current demand momentum from Enterprises will at some time in the future feed into a digestion of spend, we believe the timing of the digestion is unlikely near-term and the supply-constrained backdrop might incentivize customers to drive robust orders longer than earlier anticipated by us.” More on CDW Corporation, TD SYNNEX, etc. CDW Corporation: More Is Needed Before The Stock Can See An Upward Re-Rating Insight Enterprises, Inc.

Michael Kovac/Getty Images Entertainment Movado ( MOV ) is limping into Wednesday’s open with shares down double digits as the company’s decision to not provide guidance for the current fiscal year due to economic and geopolitical uncertainty spooked investors and overshadowed upbeat quarterly results and an increase in its quarterly dividend. The Swiss watchmaker also cautioned that net sales for the current quarter would moderate as the positive impact from foreign exchange fluctuations reflected in first-quarter sales would be less evident in Q2. These factors eclipsed the results for the fiscal first quarter of 2027, as Movado ( MOV ) generated net sales of $142.4M, up 8% year-over-year, beating expectations by $7M. This contributed to an adjusted profit of $0.32 per share, up from $0.08 in the same quarter last year and $0.25 better than expected, and included a cost of $0.02 per share related to the misconduct investigation within the company’s Dubai branch. Accordingly, FQ1 gross margin expanded 320 basis points to 57.3%. By ending the quarter with $225.3M in cash and with no debt, Movado’s ( MOV ) board of directors approved a 14% increase to its quarterly dividend to $0.40 per share. The higher dividend reflects the company’s “strong performance, solid financial position, and confidence in the company’s long-term prospects.” Despite this confidence, Movado ( MOV ) refrained from issuing guidance “given the current economic and geopolitical uncertainty, including the unpredictable impact of the current Middle East conflict.” Movado ( MOV ) is down more than 12% before the open.

Resultat for 1. kvartal er som forventet FirstFarms A/S har i årets første tre måneder leveret et EBITDA på -7 mDKK og et EBIT på -23 mDKK. Resultatet er som forventet og følger guidance for 2026. FirstFarms fastholder de udmeldte forventninger for 2026 med et EBITDA i spændet 60-110 mDKK og et EBIT på -10-+40 mDKK. Omsætningen er reduceret i forhold til samme periode sidste år fra 102 mDKK til 73 mDKK, samtidig er EBITDA og EBIT faldet med 19 mDKK. Den væsentligste påvirkning på omsætning, EBITDA og EBIT har været de lave priser på mælk og grise. Mælk FirstFarms har i perioden produceret 6.016 tons mælk mod 7.736 tons i samme periode sidste år. Besætningen er ikke på samme niveau som før mund- og klovesyge, og ydelsen er ligeledes under niveauet fra tidligere, idet der er en meget stor andel af første laktationskøer. Produktionen og opbygning af besætningen følger forventningerne. Grise Omsætningen for små- og slagtegrise er faldet sammenlignet med samme periode sidste år. I Q1 2026 var salgsprisen for 25 kg smågrise 391 DKK/stk. mod 534 DKK/stk. i Q1 2025, og på slagtegrise 10,55 DKK/kg mod 13,12 DKK/kg. Priserne på grise er steget i løbet af Q1, men ligger stadig på et lavt niveau. Priserne er på niveau med vores forventninger til Q1. Afgrøder Afgrødepriserne har været på et forventet niveau i Q1 2026. Der er afgrøder på lager som leveres i løbet af Q2. Vækstsæsonen har indtil videre været uden store udfordringer, og afgrøderne står generelt godt. Fokusområder i 2026 Fokus i 2026 fortsætter med indkøring af malkekvægsbesætningen i Slovakiet, opstart af mejeri, optimering af vandingsanlægget i Rumænien samt på produktivitetsforbedringer og stram omkostningsstyring i et år, som ser ud til at blive udfordret af lave priser.

Result for first quarter as expected FirstFarms A/S delivered an EBITDA of -7 mDKK and an EBIT of -23 mDKK during the first three months of the year. The result is as expected and follows the guidance for 2026. FirstFarms maintains the expectation for 2026 of an EBITDA in the range of 60-110 mDKK and an EBIT of -10-+40 mDKK. Revenue is reduced compared to same period last year from 102 mDKK to 73 mDKK, while EBITDA and EBIT has decreased by 19 mDKK. The most significant impact on revenue, EBITDA and EBIT was the low prices for milk and pigs. Milk During the period, FirstFarms produced 6,016 tonnes of milk compared with 7,736 tonnes in the same period last year. The herd has not yet returned to the same level as prior to the foot and mouth disease, and milk yield likewise remains below previous levels, as the herd currently consists of a very high proportion of first lactation cows. Production levels and rebuilding of the herd are progressing in line with the expectations. Pigs Revenue from piglets and slaughter pigs decreased compared with the same period last year. In Q1 2026, the sales price for 25 kg piglets was 391 DKK/pcs. compared with 534 DKK/pcs. in Q1 2025, while the price for slaughter pigs was 10.55 DKK/kg compared with 13.12 DKK/kg. Pig prices increased during Q1 but remained at a low level. Prices are on par with our expectations for Q1. Crops Crop prices were at expected level in Q1 2026. Crops in storage are delivered during Q2. So far, the growing season has progressed without any major challenges, and crop conditions are generally good. Focus areas in 2026 The focus in 2026 remains on the continued ramp-up of the dairy herd in Slovakia, the start-up of the dairy facility, optimisation of the irrigation system in Romania, as well as productivity improvements and strict cost management in a year that appears likely to be challenged by low prices.
