Monty Rakusen/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction Velo3D, Inc. ( VELO ) caught my eye because of the massive move after they reported their full-year 2025 results , which showed massive margin deterioration as well as a delay in profitability. I wanted to take a look at the company’s supposed turnaround in more detail and give some comments on why there is still a lot of work to be done. Briefly On The Company Velo3D is in the business of making 3D printing systems and related software that allow customers to essentially build custom parts for their needs, as long as the blueprints fit the dimensions of the printer. These printers allow the manufacturing of complex metal parts used in aerospace, defense, and other industrial segments, with the core value proposition being that they let engineers print parts with less compromise and with less support material. Most of the revenue still comes from the sale of its Sapphire printers, but some positive shifts allow for other revenue streams to come through, specifically the Rapid Production Solutions, or RPS, which essentially involve parts production, allowing customers to develop applications, and then they can produce the parts in-house or have VELO manufacture them. By The Numbers Looking at the headline numbers , it does not look particularly good. Revenue came in at $9.4m, which is down over 25% y/y. We can look at the breakdown in sales in more detail to see that the Support Services segment saw a particularly bad quarter, declining by over 62% to $1.7m from $4.5m. The main revenue generator, which is its 3D printers and parts, also didn’t perform as well as investors would have liked. It is down around 5% y/y to around $7.6m. Now, the following part is where it gets even worse. Q4 GAAP EPS came in at a loss of $1.03, while adjusted net loss per share was a little better at -$0.54. GAAP gross margin was deep in the red, at around -74%, which is a rarity. This anomaly is driven by around $7m in write-offs o...

The International Monetary Fund is running scenarios on countries to gauge which economies could be in need of fresh financing if the Iran war drags on, according to people familiar with the matter. The IMF’s Strategy, Policy and Review department — a key unit that’s in charge of the design, implementation and evaluation of fund policies — has asked so-called country desks at the IMF to share their analysis on areas from current account status to potential funding needs, the people said. The assessment is focused on nations with active financing programs, one of the people said, asking not to be named because the information isn’t public. Asked about the analysis request, an IMF spokesperson highlighted that Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva recently said that, in an uncertain world, more countries often turn to the fund for support and that the lender stands ready to provide help as needed. Surging costs of commodities including oil and natural gas are putting major strains on economies around the world, raising the risk of diminished revenues for governments along with higher spending needs to support their citizens. Disruptions in supplies of fertilizers have hurt prospects for agricultural production. Brent crude was trading at over $102 a barrel on Wednesday, having shot up from roughly $70 before the war. WEO Update The IMF currently has programs with 50 countries and stands ready to augment existing arrangements or create new ones if needed, Georgieva said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on March 6. The fund said Wednesday that it to date hadn’t received any requests. She expressed particular concern for oil-importing nations, Pacific Island economies that sit “at the end of the supply chain” and low-income countries with high debt levels. IMF credit outstanding, a measure of money disbursed by the Washington-based fund, was about $166 billion as of March 24, with a lending capacity of about $1 trillion, according to IMF data . The fund is curr...

Luis Alvarez/DigitalVision via Getty Images The iShares Global Clean Energy ETF ( ICLN ) has seen a decent performance in 2026 so far, all things considered, rising by 11%. With the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) dropping by 4.5% in contrast, the uptick looks particularly good. But can the rise continue over time? The answer is both yes and no. Recent geopolitical developments highlight advantages that weren't as prominent when I last checked on the ETF in January. But, just as the case was at that time, long-term prospects aren't as convincing. Not just because of the risks involved, as I noted then, but also because of ICLN's relative performance compared to peers. All of this is discussed below. Why ICLN Can See a Short-Term Uptick While ICLN has seen a rise YTD, it needs to be seen in perspective. Over the past month, which covers the start of the war on Iran, the ETF has dropped by 4.6%. This is similar to a 5% drop in the SP500 over this time. Right off the bat, this suggests that clean energy stocks aren't exactly immune to geopolitical uncertainties. At the same time, there are plenty of odds in the sector's favor, which could hold it in good stead. These are as follows: #1. Likely push towards renewables After the Russia-Ukraine war that started in 2022, the US-Iran war has once again underlined the crying need for energy security. Countries around the world are dependent on fossil fuel imports, even as the risk of oil price shocks is ever present and has created much economic stress in the past (and can do so again). In this context, organizations like the IEA and think tank Ember believe that renewables can now get an accelerated push . It helps that clean energy has notably matured as an industry over the years, supplying 40% of global electricity demand in 2025. This serves as an endorsement of its potential for further commercialization and growth. #2. ICLN benefits from portfolio characteristics ICLN, in specific, can also benefit from its portfolio characteristic...

Shutthiphong Chandaeng/iStock via Getty Images When this inflationary mindset takes off, inflation becomes like a runaway train. The problem is that even before fuel prices began to spike, inflation had already been accelerating and running hot, and the current fuel price spikes will add to it, just when the economy has become more forgiving of price increases. That’s very bad timing: The broadest inflation gauge, which tracks inflation across GDP and not just consumer-facing inflation, rose by 3.7% in Q4. The price index in GDP that excludes imports rose by 3.8% in Q4, the worst since 2022. The core PCE Price Index, the Fed-preferred inflation index for consumer price inflation, rose by 3.1% in January, the worst in nearly two years. The core Producer Price Index, which tracks inflation that companies face, jumped by 5.6%, the worst since August 2022 (see charts at the bottom of the article). The average retail price of gasoline, all grades combined, at gas stations on Monday spiked by another $0.24 from the prior week and by $1.17, or by 40%, since the beginning of the year, to $4.10 per gallon, the highest since August 2022, according to EIA data released this morning, based on a survey of gas stations on Monday. These price increases of gasoline will enter into the inflation calculations for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Fed-preferred PCE price index for March, to be released in April; and they will push up the broad GDP inflation measures for Q1. The three-and-a-half-year-long decline in gasoline prices from over $5 in mid-2022 to $2.91 in early January was a substantial contributor to the cooling of overall consumer price inflation rates. And that impetus has done a U-turn. Overall inflation measures for March will show that U-turn, and will be hot. But gasoline price spikes unwind: In early January 2026, gasoline cost the same as during some periods in 2007 and 2008, and a lot less than during part of the time in between. When gasoline prices fall ba...
