hernan4429/iStock via Getty Images The world has not changed much since my last weekend "buy list" article several weeks ago. The Iran conflict is still just "a few days away" from ending. The Strait of Hormuz is still effectively closed. Artificial intelligence is still overwhelmingly in the driver's seat of the stock market and economy. The biggest difference came from the April CPI report, which showed inflation making a nasty resurgence. That has triggered a corresponding spike in interest rates across the curve. This hasn't yet caused a selloff in stocks, but if it rates go much higher, it would be surprising if stocks didn't sell off in response. Then again, with capex-fueled earnings growth as strong as it is right now, maybe it is rational that stocks are largely ignoring the spike in inflation and interest rates. Here's my modest agenda for this week: An chart-guided exploration of the resurgence in inflation and interest rates as well as a look at how stocks have ignored it so far. Some commentary on my 3-stock and 3-ETF buy list, which focuses primarily on two growth megatrends. Onward! Inflation & Interest Rates Rebound With A Vengeance Without exaggeration, the fate of the US and world economies lies in a 25-mile-wide strait at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. As long as the strait stays closed to tanker and container ship traffic, inflationary pressures and upward pressure on inflation will persist. That only gets truer over time as oil inventories are depleted. Daily Chartbook The willingness of both sides in this conflict to resist the other's pressure to capitulate has been surprising. Both sides seem to think that the other will soon cave and agree to the other's demands. The phrase "between a rock and a hard place" feels apt. The inflationary response to the closure of Hormuz has been swift and bigger than expected. To be clear, though, this inflationary spike has been overwhelmingly driven by higher oil prices. Everything else is up only modestly s...

Melius Research raised the firm's price target on AMD (AMD) to $540 from $500 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. While stating that "nothing really emerged as incrementally good from Trump going to China," the analyst feels "incrementally good" about memory and AI semiconductor makers, raising long-term estimates and targets for all of the firm's Buy-rated "bottleneck stocks, including Micron (MU), Sandisk (SNDK), AMD, Intel (INTC), and Marvell (MRVL), as well as Hold-rated Qualcomm (QCOM). The firm continues to believe that semis take market cap, or at least upside, from traditional software companies and non-semis in the Mag 7 long-term, the analyst added.

New Zealand intends to spend about NZ$1.6 billion (US$936 million) on drones, ship maintenance and naval upgrades to bolster the island nation’s maritime security at a time of increasing concern about supply routes. Defence Minister Chris Penk said on Saturday that the government would invest in two types of drones: one for the southwest Pacific to provide long-duration intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and the other a polar-capable vehicle that could operate from naval vessels in the Southern Ocean. “New Zealand’s prosperity and security depend on the sea,” Penk said in a statement. Recent events have served as a reminder of how quickly disruptions to international shipping routes can affect economies and supply chains Defence Minister Chris Penk “Recent events have served as a reminder of how quickly disruptions to international shipping routes can affect economies and supply chains across the globe. The oceans are not a barrier to danger, but a vital national interest that must be actively secured.” Advertisement New Zealand will hand down its annual budget next week. The government plans to lift defence spending to about two per cent of gross domestic product from around one per cent at present in response to rising geopolitical tensions. Advertisement Penk, who served in both the New Zealand and Australian navies, said earlier this month that the government was open to expanding its frigate fleet from the current two vessels.

Hong Kong’s first astronaut will operate a locally developed observatory that monitors key sources of greenhouse gas emissions on Earth during her time aboard the Tiangong space station, the research team behind the project has said. The imaging equipment could pinpoint the location and intensity of emissions, providing data that could be used to reduce carbon sources in the Greater Bay Area and elsewhere in mainland China, Professor Li Jia of Lingnan University said on Saturday. Payload specialist Lai Ka-ying is part of the three-member Shenzhou-23 team that will blast off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre on Sunday and dock with the space station. Advertisement Lai, a computer data specialist, would operate the Multi-Spectral Imaging Carbon Observatory during her month-long stay, Li said. “She has learned how to operate these experimental instruments, and I am very confident in her,” she said. “She sent me a message [on Friday] saying she would take good care of our payload.” Advertisement The payload, which arrived at the space station earlier this month, is being hailed as the world’s first light, high-resolution, high-precision space-based observatory that measures carbon dioxide and methane emitted from Earth.

Maskot/DigitalVision via Getty Images The stock market in 2026 has been dominated by lopsided gains in the semiconductor industry. Investors have chased tremendous capex spending in AI-linked hardware stocks, but valuations are beginning to look precarious, making it more important than ever for us to emphasize valuations in rebalancing our portfolios for the rest of the year. At the moment, I heavily favor the small and mid-cap software stocks that have borne the brunt of this year’s losses. Of course we have to be careful in this space as AI does represent intensifying competition that may erode some of these businesses’ moats over the next few years. That said, companies like Workiva ( WK ) have staying power. The software company, which helps large enterprises with financial and compliance reporting, has seen its share price crash more than 40% since the start of the year. At the same time, the company continues to exhibit steady growth rates. Data by YCharts I last wrote a buy article on Workiva in March , when the stock was trading at $65 per share. While I admit that the timing of my buy call was poor, Workiva continues to be even more appealing in its relentless crash. Strong backlog growth and healthy top line trends directly defy the notion that AI is an existential threat for the company. I reiterate my buy rating here. As is the case for evaluating any software company in the turbulent year 2026, we have to begin our discussion with the SaaSpocalypse itself. Broadly speaking, I view the idea that agentic AI can outright replace all existing software systems is an incredibly oversimplified view of corporate IT structures. I’ve used both ChatGPT, and more recently experimented with Claude Cowork. I’ve been incredibly impressed at the intelligence of these agents, especially the latter’s ability to crunch through huge mounds of data and take immediate, contextual actions. But that said, agents don’t replace the systems and rules that software companies like...

Micron Technology, Inc. announced May 22 that it had started manufacturing 1-alpha DRAM computer memory at its Manassas, Virginia, factory. According to the microelectronics company, the new form of computer memory will also constitute a secure domestic supply for long-lifecycle RAM for U.S.-made computers. In a company statement, Micron leadership marked the start of production as a milestone in the company’s plan to invest $200 billion on domestic memory manufacturing and R&D. The company is currently building a new memory factory in New York and a second fabrication site in Idaho. "Today's achievement is an important step in Micron's $200 billion investment plan to expand memory manufacturing and R&D in the U.S.," said Sanjay Mehrotra, Chairman, President and CEO of Micron Technology. "It reflects Micron’s enduring commitment to the customers and industries that depend on long-lifecycle memory for critical applications. We are proud to bring advanced 1α DRAM manufacturing to American soil, strengthening domestic supply for U.S. customers and the global markets we serve.

Swiss police are investigating an alleged robbery amid reports that the four-times Formula 1 world champion Alain Prost was injured during a home invasion. The Swiss tabloid Blick reported late on Friday that the 71-year-old Frenchman sustained a head injury from intruders who forced his son to open a safe during the incident on Tuesday morning. “The perpetrators entered the residence while the occupants were present, threatened them, and forced one family member to open a safe before fleeing with the stolen goods,” the public prosecutor’s office said in a statement. “Despite the extensive search operation launched, the perpetrators have not yet been apprehended at this stage.” The police, who did not name the victim, said “several” balaclava-wearing intruders “broke into the house. Once inside, they threatened the occupants and inflicted minor head injuries upon one family member, under circumstances that remain to be established. View image in fullscreen Alain Prost’s McLaren leads teammate Ayrton Senna at Suzuka in 1989 during the Frenchman’s heyday as one of Formula One’s greatest drivers. Photograph: Tsugufumi Matsumoto/AP The perpetrators then forced another family member to open a safe before making their escape with stolen items, a precise inventory of which is currently being compiled.” Blick reported that Prost, who won four world championships between 1985-1993, was “visibly shaken by this brutal intrusion” and that he has left the home in Nyon beside Lake Geneva in the Swiss canton of Vaud.

There has been a lot of chatter in the market that investors need to be careful of memory stocks following their strong performance, despite the stocks in the sector still trading at cheap valuations. The reason for this is that historically, both the DRAM and NAND (flash) markets have been highly cyclical with very large boom and bust cycles. However, it is certainly noteworthy that renowned billionaire investor David Tepper of Appaloosa Management increased his exposure to the sector in Q1, buying shares of both Sandisk (SNDK 3.79%) and Micron Technology (MU 1.23%). Micron is Tepper's second-largest position behind Amazon, and in Q1, he increased his shares by 11%. Meanwhile, Sandisk was a new position, representing around 3% of his portfolio. In fact, it was his only new position in the quarter. Let's look at why Tepper may be attracted to memory stocks even after their strong runs. Sandisk: A NAND pure play Sandisk is the market's only pure-play NAND (flash) memory maker after being spun out of Western Digital last year. The company has benefited from surging demand related to artificial intelligence (AI) and flash memory supply constraints, which have pushed up NAND pricing. NAND is a non-volatile type of memory, which means it retains its data even when the power is turned off. It's slower than volatile DRAM, which loses its data when it is not connected to a power source. As such, NAND is used for longer-term data storage, while DRAM is used for short-term, temporary storage. The NAND market saw a huge surge during the pandemic, as people largely confined to their homes drove a big uptick in electronics sales. However, this led to a pull forward in demand, and once the pandemic was over, the flash memory market crashed to the point where companies had negative gross margins. This caused the big memory makers to cut NAND production and turn more of their resources to the DRAM market. Expand NASDAQ : SNDK Sandisk Today's Change ( -3.79 %) $ -58.49 Current Price...

Morocco Launches Mass Deportations To Block Europe Migration Route: EU's 'Externalization Strategy' Via Middle East Eye Since April 14, Morocco has been conducting large-scale deportation operations targeting sub-Saharan Africans migrating to Europe , reportedly arresting over 100 per day, local sources told Middle East Eye. According to Moroccan human rights groups, around 800 people were detained during coordinated raids in the forests between Fnideq and Belyounech, in the northern tip of the North African state, where many were sheltering before attempting to reach Europe. Tramway rail construction site in Morocco's city of Casablanca, via AFP The operation is still ongoing, with authorities then moving their focus to operations in and around Tangier. Witnesses have described mass arrests, beatings, racist abuse and forced transfers toward the Algerian border. Sudanese and Chadian detainees were bused south and abandoned near border zones, while people from countries including Senegal, Mali, Mauritania, Burkina Faso and Guinea were deported on flights departing Casablanca. The crackdown comes as the European Union has intensified its cooperation with Morocco as part of its border externalization strategy , which is a key component of the bloc’s new Pact on Migration and Asylum set to take effect in June. The EU increasingly outsources immigration enforcement to North African nations with poor human rights records, designating over €900 million within the bloc's Global Europe development instrument to fund stricter migration control , border management and surveillance initiatives across the region. "The EU wants to restrict people’s mobility as far down the route as possible - what officials describe as stopping migration downstream ," Frey Lindsay, a journalist on Statewatch's Outsourcing Borders project, which tracks how the EU outsources migration control, told Middle East Eye. "It's about exerting border control without getting your hands dirty, basically." R...

Key Points Consumer staples companies tend to generate resilient cash flows because their products and services remain in demand across all economic environments. The strength of Dividend Kings and long-term growers comes from structural advantages. Dividend investing works best when you prioritize long-term dividend growth, rather than chasing the highest current yield. 10 stocks we like better than Procter & Gamble › If you are looking for reliable dividend growth in consumer staples, your search should rarely be about headline yield. Your search should focus on the kind of steady, compounding cash flow that can endure across entire economic cycles. Five names stand out right now, and they cover the full range of how a consumer goods dividend can compound over decades. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » 1. Coca-Cola The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) approved its 64th consecutive annual dividend increase in February, lifting the annual payout to $2.12 per share from $2.04. The reason this dividend has held up for more than six decades is structural. Coca-Cola sells syrup concentrate to a global network of independent bottlers, which produces high gross margins, low capital intensity, and pricing power even when consumer demand softens. The 2025 to 2026 stretch has also been one of the better periods for revenue per case, as international pricing has held up, and the company has continued to invest in away-from-home channels. The honest risk with Coca-Cola is that its volume growth in developed markets is modest, and weight-loss drugs are starting to influence beverage consumption at the margin. Neither factor has really shown up in the numbers, but both deserve to be monitored. 2. Procter & Gamble Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) declared its 69th consecutive annual dividend increase in Ap...

U.S. passengers flying from Ebola-affected countries rerouted toggle caption Michal Ruprecht for NPR Early Thursday morning, Michal Ruprecht went to Uganda's Entebbe International Airport at 2AM to catch a flight. At the airline counter, he told the agent that he was headed to Michigan. "He did this sort of double look and asked me, was I sure I was going to Michigan?" he recalls. Ruprecht, a medical student and freelance reporter, was returning home after a month-long reporting trip to Uganda, where he was working on stories for NPR. The man at the counter showed Ruprecht a memo from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. "He tells me that I have to arrive at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)," Ruprecht says, "The first thing that was going through my head was denial. I wasn't sure if this was real." Sponsor Message Ruprecht was one of the first passengers to fly under a policy announced just hours before: all Americans who have passed through Uganda, South Sudan or the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in the past 21 days must fly into IAD, an airport in a Virginia suburb of Washington, DC. Two additional U.S. airport options were added Friday evening: the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. The African countries, the DRC and Uganda, have been hit by a growing Ebola outbreak, which the World Health Organization declared a public health emergency of international concern on May 17. Already, there are 800 suspected cases and more than 180 suspected deaths, according to the WHO. A major component of the U.S. response has been travel restrictions, on those who have recently come through affected countries: routing U.S. citizens to specified entry points, reserving the right to deny entry to permanent residents and barring most others . At the Ugandan airport, Ruprecht frantically rebooked his flights. When he arrived at Dulles airport after 20 hours of travel, he was flagged for extra scre...

Chesky_W/iStock via Getty Images Introduction The last seven months has been ugly for Axon ( AXON ). From a high of $886 in October 2025, the stock has declined more than 50% to around $390 despite continued 30%+ revenue growth. Most of that drawdown is linked to the SaaSpocalypse narrative, where investors have been dumping high-multiple software names on the fear that AI agents will commoditize seat-based subscriptions. Axon got caught in this selling because of its rich multiple and 40% of its revenue coming from SaaS and AI subscriptions. We think that the fear is misapplied here, and that the gap between price and fundamentals represents the opportunity. Axon Price Action (Seeking Alpha) We have been closely following Axon since November 2023, and one thing we are very confident about is the durability of its flywheel. See our past coverage where we made several calls across different phases of the company’s evolution: November 2023: Axon: Flywheel Business Model And Expanding TAM Makes It A Buy March 2024: Axon Enterprise: Flywheel Continues To Deliver Strong Results May 2024: Axon: Strong Q1, Reiterate Buy June 2024: Axon Enterprise: Draft One AI Is A Game Changer October 2024: Axon: Flywheel Strategy Fueling Growth In this article, we want to review the Q1 2026 results, and update our view on the durability of the Axon flywheel in light of the ongoing SaaS multiple compression. Why The SaaSpocalypse Fear Misreads Axon The bear case for SaaS is simple. Stand up an AI agent to replicate a horizontal SaaS workflow, the per-seat pricing erodes and net revenue retention collapses. For plenty of pure-software names that concern is legitimate: content generation, support deflection, simple workflow/low-code, are all areas where AI can replicate the core output, making them structurally vulnerable. Axon is the wrong target for it, and there are three reasons that tell us why. 1- Starting with the hardware layer. The software does not float free of the physical world...

內地暴雨持續，中央氣象台連續12日發布暴雨預警。在湖南石門縣，暴雨造成最少7死、14人失蹤。 在湖南石門縣連日暴雨引發災情，多處出現泥石流，村民要緊急撤離。不少路段都滿布泥濘，撤離民眾舉步維艱，村民自發清理塌樹。 湖南氣象台預計，當地未來一星期雨勢偏多而且集中，發生山泥傾瀉等災害風險較高，進入防汛救災關鍵期。水利廳將當地洪水防禦應急響應提升至三級，是第二高級別。 湖南石門南北鎮副鎮長唐培登指出︰「根據天氣預報，近兩天有大到暴雨，裡面有很多山體已經非常鬆軟，有可能稍微一落大雨就會造成二次滑坡或者其他次生災害，如果發生了，後果可能非常嚴重。」 而在廣東、廣西以及江西，有15條河流水位超出警戒線。廣西防城港有村莊被洪水圍困，消防員要出動橡皮艇疏散居民。廣東漠陽江則有洪峰過境，水位高達6.8米，到下午水位開始回落。 中央氣象台繼續發布暴雨藍色預警，是連續第12日發布暴雨預警，並預料雨帶將逐漸向北移動，黃河和長江之間出有強降雨，當中湖北、安徽、河南等地雨量較大，要防範次生災害的發生。 在河南，有農民趁暴雨來襲前提早收割小麥到廠房烘乾。當地已準備超過800部糧食風乾機，工作人員提前檢查相關設備，確保可正常運作。

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Evercore maintained Arista Networks ( ANET ) as its Top Pick with an Outperform rating and a $200 price target, citing the AI boom. "We view Arista as a core name for investors to own as the company is uniquely positioned to solve the AI Infrastructure bottleneck and bolster XPU utilization," said analysts led by Amit Daryanani. The analysts highlighted five key points and also had a bull case thesis in which the price target is $300. Firstly, more than $150B in Networking Total Addressable Market, or TAM, growing at over 25% compound annual growth rate, or CAGR. The analysts estimate back-end networks could be over $120B TAM and sustain more than 30% CAGR, while front-end networks at $30B TAM will sustain a high-single-digit CAGR. "ANET is uniquely positioned to win in AI networking given its ability to deliver a scalable, unified Ethernet fabric across Scale-Up, Scale-Out, and Scale-Across architectures in a vendor-agnostic manner. Arista’s EOS software stack provides a key differentiation enabling operational consistency, automation, & resiliency across complex AI clusters and multi-vendor environments," said Daryanani and his team. Secondly, positioned for over 30% sales growth. The analysts noted that Arista recently raised their expectation to over 20% growth through 2028 (versus mid-teens at analyst day). Given tailwinds across AI infrastructure, new customer wins, and growth in enterprise, the company should sustain more than 30% growth driven by end-market, share gain, and new customers, the analysts added. Thirdly, customer diversification through Anthropic ( ANTHRO ), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI, ( ORCL ) and Google ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ). "We expect ANET to have OCI and Anthropic as 10%+customers in CY26 along with Meta & MSFT. In addition, there is potential for ANET to scale with GOOG in CY27 & beyond. We see sizable incremental revenue from these two customers through CY28 as clusters scale," th...
