Ian Tuttle/Getty Images Entertainment U.S. equities finished lower on Tuesday as Treasury yields climbed sharply across the curve, with investors increasingly concerned that persistent inflation pressures could keep interest rates elevated for longer than previously expected. The blue chip Dow ( DJI ) ended -0.6%, the benchmark S&P 500 ( SP500 ) closed -0.6%, and the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) lost -0.8%. Now, here are the three stocks to watch on Tuesday after hours: Roblox ( RBLX ) announced the repurchase of up to $3B of the company’s common stock, with the intent to buy back up to $1B over the next twelve months. Shares gained around 3% in extended trading. Keysight Technologies ( KEYS ) shares climbed after releasing its second quarter fiscal 2026 financial results. For the quarter ended April 30, the electronic design and test solutions company reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.87 versus the consensus estimate of $2.32. GAAP EPS was $2.02 compared to the $1.52 estimate. CAVA Group ( CAVA ) stock rallied after disclosing revenue increased 32.2% in Q1 to $434.4M. The increase was driven by 92 net new CAVA restaurant openings during the quarter and same-restaurant sales growth of 9.7%, which smashed the consensus estimate of +6.0%. The same-restaurant sales growth was driven by a 6.8% increase in traffic and a 2.9% gain from menu prices and product mix.

Shay Shwartz knows a lot about email phishing attacks. As a teenager, he made money as a hacker, but after getting caught at age 16, he realized he could use his cyber talents to prevent attacks rather than launch them. He went on to spend about a decade in top-tier cybersecurity roles, leading major projects for Israel’s elite defense and intelligence units, including work connected to the Iron Dome project, before joining Axis, the startup later acquired by HPE. All along, he had been itching to launch his own startup, and two years ago, he finally took the plunge. His startup Ocean, an agentic email security platform built to fight AI-powered attacks, just emerged from stealth mode with $28 million in total funding. The round was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Picture Capital and Cerca Partners. High-profile angel investors also joined the round, including Wiz co-founder and CEO Assaf Rappaport, as well as Yevgeny Dibrov and Nadir Izrael, the co-founders of Armis, which recently sold to ServiceNow for $7.75 billion. While established vendors like Proofpoint and Mimecast, along with newer players like Abnormal Security, help detect standard phishing attacks, Shwartz (pictured right next to co-founder and CTO Oran Moyal) argues that AI requires a different defensive approach. In the past, only highly sophisticated hackers could pull off spear-phishing due to the sheer amount of time, research, and manual labor needed to launch targeted attacks. “AI just made the entire process automatic, so the scale is much, much bigger now,” Shwartz told TechCrunch. “I can instruct LLM to go and understand exactly who you are, harvest large amount of public information, and create those phishing attacks very targeted against you.” Ocean claims its AI can thoroughly analyze the context of every incoming email to detect fraud and impersonation attempts. The startup is already reviewing billions of emails each month for customers including Kayak, Kingsto...

William Thomas Cain/Getty Images News Toll Brothers ( TOL ) was trading higher as fiscal second-quarter home sales revenue surpassed expectations, with the homebuilder lifting its full-year guidance. Shares were 3.34% higher at $128.29 during post-market trading on Tuesday. Earnings per diluted share stood at $2.72, compared to $3.50 in the same period a year ago and $2.57 consensus. Revenue was down to $2.53B from $2.74B in the second quarter of 2025, but was well above the consensus of $2.42B. Home sales revenue reached $2.51B from $2.71B in the same period a year ago, but remained above the $2.40B Visible Alpha consensus. Land sales and other revenue fell to $18.77M from $32.62M, below the average analyst estimate of $28.57M. The company delivered 2,491 homes during the quarter, below 2,899 a year ago and the consensus estimate of 2,455.60. "We delivered 2,491 homes at an average price of $1,009,000 in the quarter, generating $2.5B of home sales revenues, or ~$110M above the midpoint of our guidance," said CEO Karl Mistry. "Our adjusted gross margin was 26.2%, or 70 basis points above guidance, and our SG&A expense, as a percentage of home sales revenues, was 10.3% or 40 basis points better than guidance," said Mistry. "In addition, orders were up 7% in units and 8% in dollars year-over-year. Based on our year-to-date performance, we are raising our full-year guidance across all key home-building metrics," said the CEO. For the third quarter, the company expects 2,600 - 2,700 units of deliveries, down from the analyst consensus of 2,806.17. For full-year 2026, the company narrowed the lower end of its guidance to a range of 10,400 - 10,700 units from the previous guidance of 10,300 - 10,700 units. The consensus stands at 10,546.03.

akinbostanci/iStock via Getty Images Even after a +360% rally, I remain bullish on Coherent Corp. ( COHR ) due to the ongoing acceleration in the underlying AI optics cycle. Q3 FY2026 revenue grew by 21% YoY, while EPS jumped by 55%, but the more important trend here is the ongoing strategic positioning of Coherent. The company is in the position to leverage critical bottleneck capacity in relation to indium phosphide, 1.6T optics, OCS, and CPO infrastructure. Major catalysts include 4x indium phosphide capacity expansion through 2027, a $2 billion Nvidia partnership, rapid 1.6T rollouts, commercial OCS systems, and accelerated H2 2026 CPO revenues. In my opinion, the market continues to underestimate the strategic importance of optical infrastructure layers as the scale of AI systems continues to rapidly increase. Optical AI Infra Trade Just Keeps Gaining Momentum On the one hand, we've got record-high revenue growth rates. There's nothing special about it because plenty of AI beneficiaries have been posting stellar financial results. However, what is important is that Coherent controls a number of infrastructure bottlenecks and the way the company is positioned to lock in customers for several years ahead. For instance, the latest management comments indicate that orders are already being extended all the way to the 2028 calendar, with some long-term agreements even covering the rest of this decade. This is quite unusual for a high-growth hardware infrastructure company, especially after its stock has rallied over +360% over the course of the last 12 months. Furthermore, management highlighted that fiscal 2027 growth should be stronger compared to the fiscal 2026 growth rate, even as consensus already projects 30+% of revenue expansion . Data by YCharts The actual Q3 FY2026 figures were also quite impressive. Revenue increased by 21% YoY to $1.81 billion, while non-GAAP EPS climbed 55% to $1.41. Revenue related to the data center business increased by 37% YoY, whi...
This tale of a nun and a priest’s forbidden romance has a stellar cast, but it’s odd from the very start – largely because Paapa Essiedu and Keeley Hawes don’t speak or act like adult human beings Yearning is a lost art.

This tale of a nun and a priest’s forbidden romance has a stellar cast, but it’s odd from the very start – largely because Paapa Essiedu and Keeley Hawes don’t speak or act like adult human beings Yearning is a lost art. It is hard, in this day and age, to find ways in which to keep people apart enough for passion to grow, fed by hope and hopelessness in turn. What once were near-insurmountable obstacles – distance, marriage to others, unspeakable truths about sexualities – don’t really serve any more. How about religion, then? How about a love between two people doctrinally bound to remain celibate? Catholicism has just the thing, plus it comes with a side order of guilt about sex even for its non-clergy members. In Falling, written by Jack Thorne, we have Keeley Hawes playing Anna, a nun who took her vows 20 years ago and has lived a sheltered life ever since, under the watchful eye of the abbess Francesca (Niamh Cusack). And we have Paapa Essiedu playing father David, a dynamic young priest patrolling the streets and trying to transform the lives of his impoverished parishioners in Easton, a deprived part of Bristol. It’s very odd from the start, largely because neither of them speaks or acts like an adult human being. Given that Anna is a nun who regularly goes to the shops and food banks with the produce she grows in the convent garden, this makes no sense. And given that David is a priest who lives very much in the real world, it comes to make even less sense. “Those look lovely!” says one grocer of Anna’s box of crops as she enters the shop. “YOU are lovely, Graham!” she replies. “THESE are vegetables!” I’m sorry, what?

Key Points Rigetti Computing has built some of the world's best quantum computers, but they still produce relatively high error rates. The company's flagship Cepheus-1-108Q system is now widely available through third-party cloud platforms like Amazon Braket and Microsoft Azure Quantum. Rigetti's revenue nearly tripled during the first quarter of 2026, but that might not be enough to overcome the company's sky-high valuation. 10 stocks we like better than Rigetti Computing › Quantum computers are an incredible innovation. They use a concept called superposition to simulate several different solutions to a given problem at once, so they're more efficient than traditional computers at processing specific workloads, particularly in areas like science and cryptography. Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) has built some of the industry's most capable quantum computers, but they still produce relatively high error rates, making them impractical for solving many real-world problems. As a result, the company is struggling to generate meaningful revenue. 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 » Rigetti stock has plummeted 61% from last year's record high; here's where I predict it could be in 12 months. Rigetti's most powerful computer is now widely available Rigetti is unique because it built an entire in-house supply chain for its quantum computing business. It operates a fabrication facility, it created its own programming language called Quil, and it even launched its own cloud platform where it leases quantum computing capacity to enterprises for a fee. Therefore, Rigetti can bring new computers to market and commercialize them much faster than its competitors. During the first quarter of 2026, the company made its flagship Cepheus-1-108Q system widely available through its own cloud platform, but...

The US has charged seven Chinese executives and four of the world’s largest shipping container companies with conspiring to restrict supply, raising the price of containers during the Covid-19 pandemic, Department of Justice officials said on Tuesday. The companies together manufacture about 95 per cent of the world’s standard dry shipping containers and conspired to restrict output and fix prices between November 2019 and January 2024, the DOJ said. Prosecutors allege the scheme resulted in US consumers paying more, and waiting longer, for goods during the pandemic. Advertisement “Around the start of the global pandemic, these manufacturers exploited the crisis and their market power to squeeze the supply chain for profit,” Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward said while announcing the case. One of the executives, Vick Ma, 54, a marketing director Singamas Container Holdings, was arrested in France in April, the DOJ said. Singamas did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the allegations.

Morsa Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images Back in January of this year, I briefly considered upgrading shares of Tompkins Financial Corporation ( TMP ) from a "Hold" to a "Buy." I acknowledged at the time that the company had achieved certain operational improvements. These improvements included more impressive asset quality and profitability. Plus, we were seeing growth in deposits and loans, much of which was organic in nature. But at the end of the day, the firm did not stand out to me as exceptional. And even though there were certain positives, I believed that it was priced at a level that made more sense as a "Hold" candidate still. Since that time, we have seen continued growth by management. Deposits continue to expand, and the income statement is doing quite well. The stock is not quite as cheap as I would like it to be. And when it comes to asset quality, the company is solid but not a standout in relation to other comparable banks. At the end of the day, this means that maintaining it as a "Hold" candidate makes the most sense in my eyes. Though I can certainly understand why some investors might disagree with that assessment. Some noteworthy improvements Author - SEC EDGAR Data Operationally speaking, it is clear that Tompkins Financial Corporation is doing a good job right now. Look no further than the income statement as an example. During the first quarter of the 2026 fiscal year , the business reported net interest income of $70.4 million. That represented a substantial improvement over the $51.4 million that the business reported a year earlier. Some of this improvement was specifically because of a reduction in its provision for credit losses from $5.3 million to $1.5 million. But a lot of it came from a surge in the company's net interest margin from 2.98% to 3.57%. Author - SEC EDGAR Data There are a couple of things going on here that need to be unpacked. For starters, as the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates, banks have been given the op...

Poet Technologies (NASDAQ:POET) , which designs and manufactures photonic integrated circuits and optical engines, closed at $13.07, down 8.02%. Shares declined after the company completed a $400 million registered direct offering, with investors watching for how the new capital will scale AI photonic interconnect manufacturing and address dilution concerns. Trading volume reached 76.1 million shares, coming in about 142% above its three-month average of 31.4 million shares. Poet Technologies IPO'd in 2008 and has grown 31% since going public. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) slipped 0.65% to 7,355, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) lost 0.84% to finish at 25,871. Among semiconductors, industry peers Lumentum (NASDAQ:LITE) closed at $890.09, up 0.58%, while Applied Optoelectronics (NASDAQ:AAOI) ended at $171.33, down 1.11%, reflecting mixed sentiment across optical chipmakers. Poet announced the share offering one day after reporting Q1 results last week. The company took advantage of a spike in the stock to over $20 per share that day. The common share offering the company closed yesterday was priced at $21 per share, well above today’s closing price. Continue reading

Astera Labs Inc. stocks have been trading up by 13.65 percent following upbeat AI chip demand and partnership optimism. Live Update At 17:03:21 EDT: On Tuesday, May 19, 2026 Astera Labs Inc. stock [NASDAQ: ALAB] is trending up by 13.65%! Discover the key drivers behind this movement as well as our expert analysis in the detailed breakdown below. Quick Financial Overview Astera Labs Inc., trading as ALAB, has been on a strong run. Over the past few weeks, ALAB has climbed from around $183 at the April lows to a recent close near $244. That is a big trend move for a high-priced semiconductor networking name tied to artificial intelligence. Daily candles show repeated dips into the low $200s getting bought, with ALAB snapping back toward the mid‑$200 area. The most recent session opened near $213 and pushed as high as roughly $256 before settling in the mid‑$240s. That intraday range tells traders there is real momentum and volatility here, not sleepy price action. Under the hood, ALAB is printing serious growth metrics. Quarterly revenue sits around $308.4M, with full‑year revenue near $852.5M. Gross margin at roughly 75.7% is elite, and operating margin in the mid‑20% range shows Astera Labs is not just growing; it is doing so efficiently. The flip side is valuation: ALAB trades at a rich price‑to‑sales near 39.8 and a P/E over 150, classic “high‑expectation AI story” territory. For active traders, that means powerful trend potential, but sharp pullbacks when sentiment wobbles. Why Traders Are Watching ALAB Right Now Traders are glued to ALAB because the story lines up cleanly with the hottest part of the market: AI infrastructure. The latest catalyst comes from RBC, which reiterated its Outperform rating on Astera Labs and raised its price target from $225 to $250. When a major Wall Street shop bumps a target above where ALAB recently traded, it reinforces the bullish narrative around the name. The core of RBC’s call is Amazon’s expanded deal with Anthropic and how ...
