This year hasn't been the best for Ford (F 1.03%) and Ferrari (RACE 2.04%). The Detroit auto stock has seen its share price tank 10% (as of March 18) in 2026. The Italian brand is in the same lane, as its shares are down 11%. Shares in both businesses are currently trading well below their peak prices, so this should prompt opportunistic investors to take a closer look under the hood. Is Ford or Ferrari the better industrial stock to buy right now? Ford's leading position in trucks and SUVs doesn't mask its unfavorable fundamentals Ford's F-Series pickups were once again the best-selling vehicles in America in 2025. This continued an incredible streak, now at 44 years, that they've held this position. Ford is a leader in the market for SUVs, as well. This is a good position to be in, since trucks and SUVs carry higher price tags and better margins. However, this hasn't translated to a strong financial performance -- at least over the long term. Because Ford is a mass market auto manufacturer, its growth and profits are usually disappointing, compared to companies in other sectors. For example, Ford's revenue is projected to increase at a compound annual rate of less than 1.8% over the next three years, according to analysts' consensus estimates. Also, its adjusted operating margin came in at 3.6% in 2025. Without strong growth and profit gains, Ford doesn't have what it takes to generate winning returns for investors. That's true even though the stock's valuation is cheap, as it trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 8.1.

Mukhammad Syafiul Umam/iStock Editorial via Getty Images ITOCHU Corporation ( ITOCY )( ITOCF ) (or best through the Japanese listing, which is what we're considering, (ISIN:JP3143600009) has a lot of non-resource businesses, and there's a lot of quality in the profile - we're especially impressed by the marquee FamilyMart brand, which is a very competitive convenience chain and stands out among competitors in some aspects of its food offering. While Marubeni ( MARUY ) may have a little more drive in the current market due to leverage to resource prices that are going up as a consequence of the crisis, Itochu rings more bells secularly for us and they do have a good deal of relevant resource exposure as well. They are also marginally cheaper on a trailing basis, but we'd say broadly in line with trading company peers when thinking about the sort of incremental earnings we can expect in the coming quarter. But we do want to highlight that a thinner margin business like convenience stores should feel the logistics price increases expected, and input costs will rise. Moreover, we are not optimistic about the JPY . We think they can pilot their results reasonably well, and there are resource offsets, but it's not a super clear path either. Results To rattle off some comments, we'd highlight that the oil crisis could have some slightly negative consequences on some of the businesses. Logistics costs could be upward of 6% of revenues for the food segment. Convenience fuel costs could be higher than supermarket and other big box peers on account of more start-stop city logistics and travel and less bulk effect from longer distance highway connectivity, relatively speaking. These businesses aren't so high margin. Currently, we are looking at around 20% increases in prices at the pump, and it's a lot worse for diesel, where the refinery capacity hits associated with Hormuz matter more and are important for trucks, which are more likely to run on diesel. We expect considerable...

Sean Anthony Eddy/iStock via Getty Images By Jennifer Nash The Philly Fed's Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey is a monthly survey of about 250 manufacturers in the Third Federal Reserve District, which covers eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware. Participants of the survey indicate the relative level of general business conditions in the region. Since this is a diffusion index, negative readings indicate contraction, positive ones indicate expansion. While it focuses exclusively on business in this district, this regional survey gives a reliable direction of the broader Chicago Fed's National Activity Index . The latest Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index showed activity continued to expand in March, with the index rising 1.8 points to 18.1. The latest reading marked the highest reading for the index in the last six months and was better than the forecast of 8.3. Here is the summary from the survey: Manufacturing activity in the region continued to expand overall, according to the firms responding to the March Manufacturing Business Outlook Survey . The survey’s indicator for general activity remained elevated. The new orders index moved down but remained positive, and the shipments index moved higher. The employment index returned to positive territory but continued to suggest mostly steady employment overall. Both price indexes rose this month after declining last month. The firms continue to expect overall growth over the next six months. The first chart below gives us a look at this diffusion index since 2000, which shows us how it has behaved in proximity to the three 21st-century recessions. The green dots show the indicator itself, which is quite noisy. Therefore, we've included the three-month moving average (purple line), which is more useful as an indicator of coincident economic activity. We can see longer and deeper periods of contraction during each of the recessions, with shallower contractions in '02, '03, '11, '12, '13, and '1...

With further growth of AI usage Micron has been able to keep a notable place in the industry with its innovative memory solutions and long-term supply contracts. Although Micron Technology Inc. ( MU ) has experienced a very impressive comeback in the past few months, a lot of it seems to have been propelled by expectations of the investors. The stock itself is now testing some of the major breakout points, and as the company approaches earnings reports with continued market uncertainty, the current risk-reward structure doesn't seem as appealing. It is highly possible that future upside is going to be determined by near-perfect execution and leadership. Simultaneously, the company has been supported by good fundamentals. The hasty growth of AI capabilities and the increased demand for memory chips have both pushed the revenues and prices upward. The company is projected to increase its year-on-year revenues over two times and analysts are still very optimistic about the shares. This underpins the role of Micron as a primary provider of next-generation computing and AI infrastructure. Still some precautions should be taken. The stock has been characterized by sharp changes regarding earnings, and analysts think that this same volatility could occur in the next report. Despite high revenue and margin growth rates, previous results indicate that positive performance does not necessarily mean a short-term increase in share price .

AEye, Inc. recently joined the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab, an ANAB-accredited program that unifies functional safety, cybersecurity, AI, and regulatory compliance across NVIDIA DRIVE platforms. This collaboration highlights AEye’s ambition to align its Apollo, STRATOS, and OPTIS lidar solutions with rigorous automotive and infrastructure safety frameworks, potentially enhancing their appeal in regulated transport markets. Next, we’ll examine how AEye’s participation in NVIDIA’s Halos safety ecosystem may influence its existing investment narrative and long-term positioning. AI is about to change healthcare. These 35 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10b in market cap - there's still time to get in early. AEye Investment Narrative Recap To own AEye, you need to believe that its software defined lidar can secure meaningful automotive and infrastructure programs before cash burn becomes constraining. Joining NVIDIA’s Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab strengthens the safety and compliance story, but does not, by itself, change the near term revenue catalyst or the central risk around slow lidar adoption and ongoing losses. The earnings release on March 16, 2026 is especially relevant here, with full year 2025 sales of just US$233,000 against a net loss of US$33.96 million. That contrast underscores how participation in NVIDIA’s safety ecosystem currently enhances technical and ecosystem credibility rather than immediately addressing AEye’s need to convert its long range lidar portfolio into volume contracts. Yet for investors, the bigger concern may be that prolonged losses and cash burn could eventually require fresh capital that... Read the full narrative on AEye (it's free!)

It is a story that has been taught to generations of British schoolchildren about one of the most famous and pivotal events in the country’s history. The Guardian’s journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. In September 1066, as a Norman duke called William prepared to sail from France to claim the English throne, King Harold of England discovered the Viking leader Harald Hardrada had landed in Yorkshire with an army of his own. Unfortunately, according to historians, the English king had disbanded his naval fleet weeks before, and so he was forced to march his army almost 300 miles (about 480km) north to Stamford Bridge, near York, confront – and defeat – the Vikings, and then somehow march the troops all the way back to the south coast. Exhausted by this almost superhuman trudge, the English forces were then defeated by William on 14 October, in what would become known as the Battle of Hastings. But what if historians have got one of the most crucial assumptions about one of England’s most pivotal battles completely wrong? That’s the claim of one British academic, who argues that the notorious “forced march” of the English army to Stamford Bridge – interpreted for centuries as a sign of Harold’s recklessness and a key factor in his defeat – in fact never happened at all. What’s more, he believes that as well as their clash on land at Hastings – as depicted in the Bayeux tapestry, shortly to go on display in London for the first time in a millennium – Harold also attempted to resist William’s invasion by sea, sending ships to try to trap the Norman fleet in a pincer movement that was ultimately unsuccessful.

In a race that is expected to come down to a few thousand votes, every last one counts – including, for the candidates seeking to become the next mayor of Paris, those of the French capital’s disgruntled dog owners. Both favourites in Sunday’s second-round vote, the leftwing frontrunner Emmanuel Grégoire and the former conservative culture minister, Rachida Dati, have promised an array of canine-friendly measures if they win – and for good reason. In the last city council elections, in 2020, about 57,000 votes separated the winner, outgoing Socialist mayor Anne Hidalgo, from her closest rival, Dati. This year’s race is expected to be tighter still and Paris has more than 100,000 dogs. “That’s, what, something like 170,000 votes,” said Loïc Amiot of Paris Condition Canine, an umbrella group of 10 dog-owners’ associations in the capital that has published a manifesto demanding better treatment for the city’s dogs. View image in fullscreen With at least 100,000 dogs in Paris, having a canine-friendly agenda could sway a significant amount of voters. Photograph: Abdul Saboor/Reuters “Today, bans are the rule and permissions the exception. We aim to reverse that,” Amiot said, noting that of about 550 parks and open spaces in Paris, just 165 allow dogs on leads and the city has only 43 enclosed spaces where dogs can run free. Sniffing an electoral opportunity, Grégoire has deployed an entire Instagram account dedicated to dogs, HotdogswithEmmanuelGrégoire, showing assorted pooches busily “charming the future mayor of Paris into opening more dog runs”.

Photograph: hotdogswithemmanuelgregoire Not to be outdone, Dati, who is running again, has cuddled canines in multiple social media posts, saying they had “not found their rightful place in the city” and she would “expand access everywhere, on and off the lead, in dedicated runs … All over.” Several other candid...

Wrapped in a cloak with ermine fur and wearing a jagged iron crown, a hulking skeleton rests one foot on a globe and knocks over a royal throne with a dramatic flick of its ivory wrist. Entitled Mors Imperator (“Death is the Ruler”), the German artist Hermione von Preuschen’s 1887 symbolical painting was meant to express the transience of fame and power. But authorities feared the picture could be seen as mocking the ageing German Emperor Wilhelm I, who then had recently turned 90, and refused to accept its submission to the Berlin Academy of the Arts’ annual exhibition that year. More than 100 years after the painting’s rejection and subsequent display in the 19th-century equivalent of a pop-up gallery caused a stir in Berlin society, Mors Imperator is returning to the German capital. From Sunday until mid-November, the 2.5-metre by 1.3-metre painting will be shown in a state institution at last, at the Alte Nationalgalerie museum. The scandal around von Preuschen’s work illustrates how prone single-ruler autocracies can be to paranoia about hidden meanings in art. According to the Berlin exhibition’s curator, an offence against the monarchy was neither what the artist intended nor how it was perceived by its supposed target. Born in Darmstadt in 1854, von Preuschen was a poet, world traveller and painter known for her large-scale and flamboyant historical still life pictures. At the 1896 International Women’s Congress in Berlin she gave an impassioned speech calling for women to be allowed education at artistic academies. “Hermione von Preuschen was bold, not short of self-belief, and an early advocate of female emancipation,” said Birgit Verwiebe, an art historian. “But she was not a political person, and there is no record of her having any anti-monarchical instincts. After all, she came from nobility herself.” View image in fullscreen Mors Imperator (Death is the Ruler) is seen as a powerful allegory of death and power, and was misinterpreted in the late 19th c...
