Best Buy’s Memorial Day sale includes a good deal on a massive OLED TV. The 77-inch LG B5 is down to $1,499.99 (originally $2,999.99), and the purchase includes a $200 Best Buy gift card. I’m a 55-inch TV kind of person, but if you’ve got the budget — and the wall space — this is a great deal. LG B5 OLED TV LG’s B5 TV is a great way to get OLED picture quality for less. It features support for both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, along with a 120Hz panel and four HDMI 2.1 ports for hooking up the latest gaming consoles. It also runs LG’s webOS platform, supports Amazon Alexa, and provides easy access to a wide range of popular streaming apps. Where to Buy: $2999.99 $1499.99 at Best Buy (77-inch, includes $200 gift card) The last-gen B5 is the more budget-friendly alternative to LG’s C5 OLED TV, kind of like how the iPhone 17E is to the iPhone 17. It has many of the same features, including small bezels, a stunning panel with infinite contrast ratio, and four HDMI 2.1 ports to let your consoles run wild at 4K with up to 120Hz refresh rate on the TV. However, it’s less bright than the C5, and isn’t as good at upscaling content. The C5 also has a faster 144Hz refresh rate, though I don’t think those features are worth its current $400 premium over the B5. If you’re having second thoughts about the 77-inch size, smaller sizes of the B5 are surprisingly affordable, too. The 48-inch model is $649.99, while the 65-inch model might just be the biggest OLED you can currently get for under $1,000.

Where’s the Trump phone? We’re going to keep talking about it every week. We’ve reached out, as usual, to ask about the Trump phone’s whereabouts. It’s now been more than a week since Trump Mobile announced that phones would “start shipping this week.” Last week Trump Mobile announced that the T1 Phone was ready to start shipping by the end of the week. Almost two weeks later, there’s no sign that’s actually happened — and the company still hasn’t shipped either of the two phones ordered by The Verge. Depending on where you get your news, you might believe the company when it says the phone has now launched: The phone is “here” according to Newsweek, has “finally released” according to The Daily Beast, and is now “shipping” according to Reuters. None of this appears to be true. Neither of The Verge’s two ordered phones have shipped and for the moment can’t — Trump Mobile still hasn’t asked for our shipping address and hasn’t charged us beyond the initial $100 deposits. Beyond us, I can’t find a single regular buyer claiming to have received a phone or even an email confirming their phone is ready to ship or that the company intends to charge them for the remaining $399 after their deposit. The company’s promised wide rollout doesn’t seem to have yet begun. At least two phones have gone out, though not through normal channels. Both NBC and CNET have received T1 Phones; the former said that it received its phone following an email from the company promising “devices were going out to the media,” while CNET says its order was “expedited” by Trump Mobile, “because we are cnet.com.” I’ve reached out to Trump Mobile for the umpteenth time and have now been told that we’ll have our own order expedited, though at the time of writing there’s been no change to our order status. The good news is that both the phones sent to NBC and CNET match what was in the company’s latest promo video. Each shipped with a braided USB-C cable, a wall charger, and a plastic case, and looks ide...

Investors in Williams Sonoma Inc (Symbol: WSM) saw new options become available today, for the June 2027 expiration. One of the key data points that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 391 days until expiration the newly available contracts represent a potential opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel , our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the WSM options chain for the new June 2027 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest. The put contract at the $190.00 strike price has a current bid of $28.00. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $190.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $162.00 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of WSM, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $193.11/share today. Because the $190.00 strike represents an approximate 2% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 63%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 14.74% return on the cash commitment, or 13.76% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost. Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Williams Sonoma Inc, and highlighting in green where the $190.00 strike is located relative to that history: Turning to the calls...

(RTTNews) - A reading on leading U.S. economic indicators unexpectedly edged slightly higher in the month of April, according to a report released by the Conference Board on Friday. The Conference Board said its leading economic index crept up by 0.1 percent in April after falling by 0.6 percent. Economists had expected the index to dip by 0.3 percent. "The US LEI increased slightly in April, driven mainly by a rebound in stock prices and an increase in building permits, only for two and more units," said Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager, Business Cycle Indicators, at The Conference Board. The leading economic index decreased by 0.7 percent over the six months between October 2025 and April 2026, reflecting a less severe rate of decline than its 1.0 percent contraction over the previous six months. The report said the coincident economic index also rose by 0.3 percent in April after coming in unchanged in March, while the lagging economic index climbed by 0.4 percent in April after increasing by 0.3 percent in March. "Strong investment in AI infrastructure, data centers, and energy production likely will have a positive impact on growth and sustain business spending, but may only partially offset weakness on the consumer side," said Zabinska-La Monica. She added, "Higher gasoline and energy costs—paired with weak hiring—will likely erode household purchasing power in the months ahead, particularly for lower- and middle-income consumers."

Redwire Corporation (RDW +15.11%) stock is on a roll -- in more ways than one. For three days running, shares of the aerospace-space-and-defense company have hit successively higher highs, including an 12.2% run-up through 10:15 a.m. ET this morning. Driving the share price gains is Redwire's business success, and a series of contract awards announced over the past few days. Redwire on Earth Redwire started its life as a pure-play space stock, building equipment necessary to create an industrial infrastructure in space. In 2025, however, the company came down to Earth just a bit, spending $925 million to acquire Edge Autonomy, and turning itself into a drones stock in the process. This move is already paying off. So far this week, Redwire has booked two separate drone contracts totaling tens of millions of dollars. For $15 million, Redwire will supply a third batch of Stalker surveillance UAVs to the U.S. Army's 1st Aviation Brigade, bringing total orders to $24.8 million over the last eight months. In a separate award worth "high eight-figures" (i.e., tens of millions of dollars) over a "multi-year" period, Redwire will supply Penguin Mk3 drones to an unidentified NATO ally.

Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel , on 5/26/26, Spok Holdings Inc (Symbol: SPOK) will trade ex-dividend, for its quarterly dividend of $0.3125, payable on 6/24/26. As a percentage of SPOK's recent stock price of $11.05, this dividend works out to approximately 2.83%, so look for shares of Spok Holdings Inc to trade 2.83% lower — all else being equal — when SPOK shares open for trading on 5/26/26. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but looking at the history above can help in judging whether the most recent dividend from SPOK is likely to continue, and whether the current estimated yield of 11.31% on annualized basis is a reasonable expectation of annual yield going forward. The chart below shows the one year performance of SPOK shares, versus its 200 day moving average: Looking at the chart above, SPOK's low point in its 52 week range is $9.95 per share, with $19.3091 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $11.08. In Friday trading, Spok Holdings Inc shares are currently up about 0.3% on the day.

If there's an investing theme in 2026, it's that energy stocks are no longer sitting quietly in the background as pick-and-shovel plays in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. As uncertainty swirls around oil prices and the broader markets, certain companies are still handily outperforming the S&P 500. Narrowing down where to invest, however, gets trickier. As more retail investors start scooping up shares of energy companies powering AI workloads, sending stock prices higher in the short term, it can become difficult to figure out which companies could offer durable returns. The two that we'll look at today -- Bloom Energy (BE +1.30%) and GE Vernova (GEV +0.50%) -- not only have provided short-term gains but also have large, long-term potential intact. Here's why. Reliable power deployed in 90 days or less For energy demand, Bloom found a niche in the energy sector with its solid-oxide fuel cells, generating on-site power that can fit into existing infrastructure. Each of its energy server providers has enough baseload power for 100 homes or a small office building, and each is roughly the size of an average parking space. Companies can either base most of their power needs on Bloom's energy servers or set up a microgrid that kicks in when there are power disruptions caused by strain on traditional grids or outages from extreme weather. The surge in demand for Bloom's on-site power generation is largely being fueled by the energy needs of AI, with data center operator clients including Oracle.

Walter Cicchetti/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Our IPO research provides an alternative to the popular narratives on IPOs. This alternative deserves attention, as it has warned and saved investors from losing big money on many of the worst IPOs over the last decade, such as Beyond Meat ( BYND ), WeWork (WE), Peloton ( PTON ), Klarna ( KLAR ), Allbirds ( BIRD ), Didi Global (DIDI) and more. Space Exploration Technologies Corp. ( SPCX ), commonly known as SpaceX, has filed to go public, and is expected to begin trading in early June. The latest reporting suggests SpaceX is targeting a $1.75 trillion valuation, which would make it the largest IPO in history. At a valuation of $1.75 trillion, SpaceX earns an Unattractive Stock Rating. We recommend investors avoid this IPO based on the company’s: lack of proper internal accounting controls, offering almost no voting rights to investors providing $80 billion in IPO proceeds, obligations to use 78% of IPO proceeds to pay off existing debts, misleading non-GAAP reporting, and numerous and material red flags in related party transactions. In our view, SpaceX’s IPO looks more like a way to lure unsuspecting investors into paying off $62.6 billion in debt (78% of expected IPO proceeds), fund an increasingly costly AI race, and lock in a trillion-dollar pay day. The company faces real competition in its broadband and AI offerings, holds significant customer concentration risk, and flaunts a litany of related party transactions that should give any potential investor pause. We think the projected $1.75 trillion valuation is far too high, because it implies SpaceX will simultaneously generate the most revenue and profit of any company in the entire stock market. The expectations for future profits needed to justify SpaceX’s projected IPO valuation are truly out of this world. Below, we’ll detail these risks and use our reverse discounted cash flow (DCF) model to show exactly why the projected $1.75 trillion valuation is too e...

The MP Jess Phillips has condemned the non-custodial sentences given to three teenage boys for the rape of two girls as “unduly lenient”. Phillips, who was the minister for safeguarding and violence against women and girls before resigning this month, said that giving the boys youth rehabilitation orders sent a “bad message”. The government said it had received multiple requests for the sentences to be reviewed. The two girls were raped in two separate incidents in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, in November 2024 and January last year. In the first attack a 15-year-old girl was raped by two of the defendants, both aged 14 at the time. In the second assault, the three boys threatened a 14-year-old girl with a knife and two of them took it in turns to rape her while the others encouraged the offending and filmed the assaults. On Thursday, at Southampton crown court, two boys, both 15, were each sentenced to a three-year youth rehabilitation order and made subject to intensive supervision and surveillance (ISS). The third boy, 14, was given an 18-month youth rehabilitation order. Phillips told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “It seems unduly lenient to me and has wider public interest beyond just the case itself in the message that it sends. “For those young women, going through a rape trial like this will not have been a simple thing to do, it will have been many, many months, if not years, to achieve any sort of justice, and I am afraid to say it sends a bad message. “These young people, it seems, were essentially raping for content in order to put it on social media and share it to their friends, gloating about raping these poor young women.” Her criticisms of the sentences were echoed by the Hampshire police and crime commissioner, Donna Jones, who offered to support the families of the victims if they wished to appeal against them. “This is an extremely disturbing case,” said Jones. “I’m deeply concerned these boys felt they could carry out such terrifying acts and share...
