Ekaterina Vakhrusheva/iStock via Getty Images Freshpet ( FRPT ) shares have surrendered as much as 26% in value since the beginning of March, undermined by disappointing full-year guidance and misleading claims about its fresh dog food eroding to a level that Oppenheimer now views as an attractive entry point. “Following the recent pullback in shares, we remain confident in management’s ability to stabilize top-line trends, at least in the high-single digits, and see a number of levers to help drive adjusted EBITDA margins closer to the company’s 20%+ FY27 target,” says Oppenheimer analyst Rupesh Parikh. The attractive valuation coupled with the potential for the company to become a takeover target adds to Parikh’s argument for Freshpet ( FRPT ) to be rated as Outperform (versus Perform, previously) with an $80 price target that represents 27% upside from Thursday’s closing price. Last month, Freshpet ( FRPT ) said its profits nearly doubled in the fourth quarter on a 9.7% volume gain and 8.6% increase in total sales. However, below-consensus guidance weighed on shares, and, coupled with competition concerns over Costco’s ( COST ) Kirkland brand of fresh dog food, shares retreated by 26% and endured an eight-day losing streak. But despite the catalysts dragging down the stock, Parikh sees a large disconnect between the share price and Freshpet’s ( FRPT ) fundamentals. Costco’s ( COST ) Kirkland represents the most serious challenge with a lower price point, but Parikh believes Freshpet’s ( FRPT ) leading portfolio and product quality should help the brand compete with Costco’s offering. “We look favorably upon FRPT’s growth prospects and see multiple sales drivers for the company, including the continued opportunity to drive household penetration, the potential for further distribution gains, a growing omnichannel moat, and benefits from ongoing innovation.” Parikh’s upgrade has stifled a multi-day losing streak, lifting FRPT into the green for the first time in nin...

A French member of Islamic State has been convicted of genocide and crimes against humanity for atrocities committed against Yazidis in a historic judgment that highlighted the atrocities committed by jihadists. The Paris criminal court found Sabri Essid, who was tried in his absence, directly participated in an organised system of killing, raping and enslaving members of the Iraqi ethnic and religious minority who are descended from some of the region’s most ancient roots. The case was based on harrowing evidence from two Yazidi women who were “owned” by the Toulouse-born terrorist in the IS Iraqi-Syrian declared caliphate between 2014 and 2016. One victim told the court an IS member had bought her in exchange for a car and a gun before selling her to Essid, who made her his sexual slave, raping her every day, often in front of her two-year-old daughter. Her ordeal lasted more than two years. “I would like Yazidi voices to be heard, not only in France, but throughout the world,” the woman told the court. A number of women who managed to escape IS identified Essid as their “owner” stating he had bought them for between $40 (£30) and $100. Judge Marc Sommerer read chilling extracts from transcripts of conversations from a Telegram group headed “market for caliphate soldiers”. It included posts from IS members selling young children to be sexual slaves. The youngest girls fetched up to $14,000 and were considered by IS to have reached sexual maturity at age nine. Bahzad Farhan, founder of Kinyat, an NGO documenting the genocide, obtained the transcripts by infiltrating online discussion groups. “All girls over 10 and boys over 12 were taken from their mothers. The girls became sexual objects; the boys fighters,” he said. A document listing women and girls between the age of one and 50, and fixing a “market price” was shown to the court. The Yazidi genocide started with an IS massacre in the Sinjar mountains in August 2014 that left thousands dead. The Islamist group e...

In Brief A newly published survey of more than 500 science conference presentations across a two-year period set out to determine whether scientists are funny, which is itself funny, if not the most productive use of time. The results were about what you’d expect: two-thirds of attempts at humor garnered either polite chuckles or straight-up dead silence, and only 9% landed well enough to get most of the room laughing. The biggest laughs, also unsurprisingly, came from technical snafus, like slides malfunctioning and mics cutting out. (Nothing brings an audience together faster than watching something go wrong for someone else.) Anyone who has sat through a conference on any topic, anywhere, knows scientists don’t have a monopoly on bombing. Humor is hard to pull off in front of any audience that hasn’t been warmed up. Even SNL calls its opening segment a “cold open” — the audience hasn’t laughed at anything yet, which makes that first laugh the hardest one to get. Roughly 40% of the talks just avoided humor entirely, which is safe but probably makes for an even longer afternoon. More interesting — per science — it makes talks less memorable. “Despite the incredible wealth of interesting content at conferences, it can be hard to stay engaged. And by engaged, I mean awake,” one physician-scientist told Nature, which also spoke with one of the study’s eight(!) co-authors.

Ahead of the release of her new film You, Me & Tuscany, the singer and actor will be taking your questions on everything from working with Beyoncé to The Little Mermaid backlash You’ll probably know Halle Bailey best for two things: her role as Ariel in Disney’s 2023 live-action remake of The Little Mermaid , and appearing in the visual album for Lemonade by Beyoncé , who she also supported on tour as part of musical sister duo Chloe x Halle . The pair first found an audience on YouTube, and have since been nominated for five Grammys. Bailey was only 19 when she was cast in The Little Mermaid, thanks due what director Rob Marshall described as her “otherworldly sensibility”. Of course the internet quickly found something to complain about, with much of the backlash going beyond the absence of cartoony bright red hair. “I expected it, honestly,” she told the Guardian . “We’re all human beings, so of course it’s going to hurt or sting a little bit, especially remarks like those.” Continue reading...

Viktor_Gladkov/iStock via Getty Images At the end of October, I published an article on Eli Lilly and Company ( LLY ), " Eli Lilly: Is Another Monster Quarter Coming ." In just over four months, Eli Lilly shares rose 11.7%, outperforming the 'barometer' for the biotech investors, the iShares Biotechnology [3.5% return] ETF ( IBB ), as well as the S&P 500 [-4.3% return] ( SPY ). Source: Seeking Alpha In my view, the ongoing bullish momentum will continue despite HSBC's downgrade of Eli Lilly on March 17, thanks to the strong sales of its GLP-1 drugs, as well as the expected FDA decision on orforglipron on April 10th , which will be a direct rival to Novo Nordisk's Wegovy ( NVO ). Also, on March 19th, Eli Lilly finally announced the results of its Phase 3 TRANSCEND-T2D-1 study [ NCT06354660 ]. It evaluated retatrutide [4 mg/9 mg/12 mg], a triple agonist of the GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors. For better understanding, I'll remind you that Novo Nordisk's Wegovy/Ozempic is only a GLP-1 agonist , while LLY's flagship, Mounjaro, activates both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors . In the trial, a group of people with type 2 diabetes without obesity taking 12 mg retatrutide achieved average A1C reductions by 1.9% , compared to 0.8% in those taking a placebo in 40 weeks of treatment. Source: table was made by Author Also, I was glad to see that Eli Lilly's synthetic peptide is now the number one in weight reduction on the market. So, taking it resulted in a weight loss of 15.1 kg vs. to only 2.7 kg in the placebo arm. By comparison, the 15 mg tirzepatide [Mounjaro] group showed a 7.8 kg reduction in body weight in the Phase 3 SURPASS-1 study [ NCT03954834 ]. But still, I wonder. Is according to my "ALLKA 4D rating" model Eli Lilly's risk/reward profile still attractive? Demand for Kisunla has accelerated As you know, Kisunla [donanemab] is a monoclonal antibody targeting β-amyloid, first approved by the FDA on July 2, 2024 , that is, about a year and a half later than Biogen/Eis...

Suphanat Khumsap/iStock via Getty Images I see the market tape deteriorating by the day, as VLCC transits through the Strait of Hormuz still remain at a near standstill. What makes me sweat is the fact that the selloff is broad-based and not limited to large-cap growth stocks. In fact, the Russell 2000 is down 7.3% in the past month vs. the 3.1% drop of the Nasdaq 100. Guidance Terminal As I'm typing, Brent oil is above $100, with the spotlight right now on gas prices after this week's Israeli strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field and Iranian missile strikes on Qatari LNG facilities. For reference, the front-month Dutch TTF gas futures (i.e., the main European gas benchmark) jumped by as much as 35% on March 19 after these headlines. Call me crazy, but trading the headlines makes little to no sense. That’s why I’m not chasing the highs in the only pocket of the market that is in the green: energy. Guidance Terminal My outlook on the broader markets hasn't really changed. I still think the S&P 500 could see the 6,100-6,200 level in the first half of the year after a quick "relief rally" once the war comes to an end. The catalyst? Inflation is likely to remain high between March and June (at least), as the oil flows will take a few months to normalize after the conflict eventually comes to an end in the Middle East. Therefore, the post-war relief rally shouldn't last more than a few weeks. The key idea I discuss in this piece is that inflation will likely remain at the forefront of investors’ minds in the first half of the year. Therefore, I prefer to sit on my hands and keep waiting before I buy any dip. The March 18 FOMC Meeting On an 11-1 vote, the FOMC left the target range for the federal funds rate unchanged at 3.50%-3.75%. By far, the most important part of the meeting was the release of the Summary of Economic Projections, given that the market is trying to gauge the secondary effects of the conflict in the Middle East. I include the table below: Federal Rese...

A member of an influential federal vaccine advisory panel made a dramatic claim Thursday afternoon that the panel had been disbanded following a temporary block by a federal judge and would be entirely reconstituted—again. But, just hours later, he retracted the claim, saying that it was merely a possibility. The claim immediately caused a stir online. Public health experts began to cheer the news, given that most of the current members hold anti-vaccine views and have little to no qualifications for being on the panel—which is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Current members were hand-selected by anti-vaccine health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who had summarily fired all 17 experts previously on ACIP. Kennedy's new ACIP members have since held several chaotic meetings in which they voted to roll-back CDC's evidence-based vaccine guidance. On Monday, Federal Judge Brian Murphy issued a temporary injunction blocking Kennedy's ACIP members and their votes after finding that they were improperly appointed and vaccine recommendations were changed without procedural requirements. The ruling stemmed from a lawsuit brought by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other medical groups, who challenged Kennedy's anti-vaccine efforts. Read full article Comments

utah778/iStock via Getty Images Market Review The loan market enjoyed another solid year in 2025, backed by strong corporate performance and solid economic growth. Accelerated 3Q GDP growth, estimated at 4.3%, provided an additional tailwind for the loan market. Leveraged loan borrowers saw revenues expand by 1.6% quarter-over-quarter—the highest 3Q growth rate since 2021. Profit margins held firm at 15.9%, sitting at the higher end of the dataset since tracking began in 4Q 2019. Our conservative positioning was borne out as CCCs saw a 1.2% year-over-year contraction in 3Q EBITDA/revenue. In contrast, BBs grew 2.9% year-over-year while Single Bs rose by 6.6%. This disparity in revenue growth led to Split B/CCCs underperforming for the year with a 2.72% return. Single Bs outperformed with a return of 6.53%, and BBs were only slightly behind with a 6.41% return. The loan market increased by 1.19% for 4Q and 5.94% year-to-date (YTD), providing a solid tailwind for continued positive performance into 2026. Its 2025 performance lagged the 8.56% return from the J.P. Morgan U.S. High Yield Index and the 7.82% return from the J.P. Morgan Investment Grade Index. For 4Q, Single Bs returned 1.54% compared to returns of 1.60% and -2.79% for BB and Split B/CCC loans, respectively. For 2025, bank loans saw inflows of $2.1 billion, which included $13.0 billion of inflows for collateralized loan obligation ETFs, -$4.5 billion of outflows for loan ETFs, and -$6.4 billion of outflows for actively managed loan funds. Defaults finished the year at 2.87%—below the long term 3.1% average—including distressed exchanges. Our bottom-up credit process seeks to identify attractive opportunities in all market conditions. Our experience through periods of market dislocation gives us the confidence to invest at attractive prices when the opportunity presents itself.

e-crow/iStock via Getty Images The SPDR Gold Shares ETF ( GLD ) is in intense focus, given the recent drop-off in physical gold prices . After reading a few comments on Seeking Alpha, I realized that many are in search of direction as the fundamental drivers behind precious metals have decoupled. As such, I decided to weigh in with a take of my own with an article. While I acknowledge the randomness of markets, I'm quite confident about my current read on Gold. I maintain a strategic long position in the GLD ETF. However, I foresee additional cyclical losses and have thus reduced my exposure for the time being; here's why. My Previous Outlook On Gold I initially communicated a bullish outlook on GLD ETF in October 2024 as I believed investors might front-run a geopolitical risk premium. As a basic thought process: Investors usually front-run a geo-premium, but the premium might be fully priced-in by the time a geopolitical event occurs. In addition, I believe gold priced geo-political risk, but it doesn't cope well in shocks, which is most likely what we saw with the post U.S.-Iran sell-off. Figure 1 (Seeking Alpha) Preceding my GLD ETF article, I covered DRDGOLD Limited ( DRD ) two months earlier, citing that cyclical variables, such as USD weakness might add to a bullish argument for physical gold. I also cited the geo risk-premium in that article. Figure 2 I have to admit that I communicated the long-Gold thesis after the initial rally had started (earlier in 2024). If I'm being honest, I didn't expect a President Trump re-election and global trade/capital fragmentation, which ultimately provided a secondary layer to gains. Data by YCharts My Take On Recent Flows Why did we see an outflow in physical gold and near-term futures after the U.S.-Iran conflict started? One can never be too certain, but herewith is my theory. Firstly, financial conditions tightened, meaning net U.S.-Dollar demand likely spiked. I think lenders have tightened their risk tolerance, forci...

May arabica coffee (KCK26) today is up +8.60 (+2.86%), and May ICE robusta coffee (RMK26) is up +20 (+0.55%). Coffee prices are extending this week's rally today, with arabica posting a 1.5-month high and robusta posting a 1.5-week high. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted global shipping, tightened global supplies, and is supporting coffee prices. The closure of the waterway has increased global shipping rates, insurance, and fuel costs, and raises costs for coffee importers and roasters. Robusta coffee also has support from tighter inventories, as ICE robusta inventories fell to a 2-month low of 4,257 lots today. Don’t Miss a Day: On Monday, arabica coffee fell to a 2-week low, and May robusta fell to a contract low, as abundant rains in Brazil eased crop concerns. Somar Meteorologia reported Monday that Brazil's largest arabica coffee-growing area, Minas Gerais, received 57.7 mm of rain last week, or 139% of the historical average. The outlook for a bumper Brazil coffee crop is bearish for coffee prices, after StoneX raised its Brazil 2026/27 coffee production estimate to a record 75.3 million bags, up from its November estimate of 70.7 million bags.
