Both Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) are coming off big first quarters: Both companies delivered strong results, gave strong guidance, and saw their stocks take off. The two chipmakers share one main commonality: They are major manufacturers of central processing units (CPUs), demand for which has surged due to the rise of agentic artificial intelligence (AI). AI agents work autonomously based on their initial instructions to complete specific tasks, from organizing files on someone's computer to assisting a business with customer service or fraud detection. While graphics processing units (GPUs) got most of the attention in earlier phases of the AI trend because they provide the type of computing power that's most needed when training AI models, CPUs play a critical role in helping AI agents execute tasks by overseeing memory usage, coordinating workloads, and extracting certain data needed for tasks.

Maersk CEO Warns Iran War Is A "New Wake-Up Call" For Global Trade It is becoming increasingly clear that reopening the Strait of Hormuz has become a top U.S. priority (really a global priority) , as oil executives and industry insiders warn that the clock is ticking toward an energy and global trade shock if the maritime chokepoint remains closed for another month. Frederic Lasserre, head of research at Gunvor, one of the world's largest oil traders, warned earlier this week: "The tipping point is clearly June. This is the point at which something has to give ." JPMorgan analysts warned that the world is spiraling toward a catastrophic cliff-edge shortage of crude oil if the maritime chokepoint is blocked for another four weeks. Speaking to CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" earlier this morning, Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc warned that a " new wake-up call " has emerged beyond energy markets and that if the Hormuz chokepoint remains shuttered, it could severely impact global trade in the coming months. Clerc was speaking to CNBC after Maersk reported a plunge in profitability and kept its guidance unchanged, but warned that the US-Iran war and the resulting Gulf energy shock are "dominant forces shaping the macroeconomic outlook, as well as the trade and logistics environment." Maersk wrote in its earnings report that the Iran war had introduced an "additional layer of uncertainty." "Currently, fragile ceasefires are in place in both Iran and Lebanon, negotiations proceed slowly, and traffic at the Strait of Hormuz remains at a near-standstill. The conflict has already weighed on sentiment. Consumer confidence deteriorated," the shipper said. Maersk warned that crude oil prices in the $90 to $100 per barrel range and continued Hormuz chokepoint disruption would soon begin hitting global container demand, which is still expected to grow between 2% and 4%. It noted that the balance of risks is "on the downside and more adverse outcomes cannot be ruled out." "Energy and shipping...

In this article DIS UBER Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT A woman walks past a "Now Hiring" sign in front of a store on January 13, 2022 in Arlington, Virginia. Olivier Douliery | AFP | Getty Images Retailers are ramping up hiring this year, defying economic concerns as consumers keep shopping. The retail trades added nearly 22,000 jobs in April, accounting for almost one-fifth of total job growth, according to preliminary federal data released Friday. Nearly 15.5 million employees now hold retail industry jobs, the most since July 2024. Consumers have kept their wallets open in the face of war in Iran, higher gasoline prices, faster inflation and President Donald Trump 's tariff policy. Lately, a solid consumer has left retailers confident enough to hire more workers to stock shelves or staff cash registers. "This still shows how resilient spending has been, even amid a lot of the uncertainty," said Cory Stahle, senior economist at job search platform Indeed. "It's an encouraging sign for the industry and for the economy more broadly." Rising confidence Warehouse clubs and supercenters were among the retailers driving sector hiring in April, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. Department stores, and sellers of electronics and appliances, saw payrolls shrink. The labor market gained 38,000 courier and messenger jobs in April, representing roughly a third of all positions added in the month. That partly compensated for jobs lost earlier this year due to weather, according to Eugenio Aleman, chief economist at Raymond James. Growth in retail and transportation helped total job growth come in far ahead of economists' expectations for April. Retailers also posted their highest volume of monthly job openings since 2023 in March, a separate report of preliminary government data found. The sector's number of openings spiked 48% from the same month a year ago. Economy wide, the total number of listings fell over the same period. Retail's hiring surge reflect...

英国首相基尔·斯塔默表示，尽管执政的工党内部要求他下台的呼声越来越高，而且竞争对手威胁将在未来几天发起领导权挑战，但他仍打算领导英国十年。 斯塔默周日告诉《观察家报》，他希望继续担任这个职位十年。当被问及是否会带领工党参加将于2029年8月中旬举行的下一次大选，然后完成第二个完整任期时，斯塔默回答说“是的，我会的”。 然而，这一前景看起来越来越不切实际，因为议会中的反叛议员正考虑将他赶下台。上周一系列地方选举中执政党遭遇惨败，其所捍卫的席位几乎五分之三都落败，而如英国改革党和绿党这些左右两翼的民粹主义者则取得了重大进展。 基尔·斯塔默尽管在2024年大选中取得了压倒性胜利，但首相的近期前途仍不明朗。过去22个月，他执政期间丑闻不断，党内和公众普遍抱怨他未能兑现工党的核心承诺——带来变革。 教育大臣Bridget Phillipson周日告诉天空新闻：“我从选民那里清楚地听到的是，他们深感失望，因为他们在2024年投票是为了变革，他们希望变革能够实现，但他们觉得我们作为一个政党或我们作为一个工党政府并没有实现他们的愿望。”尽管她为首相辩护，但她还是这样说道。 工党在英格兰失去了约1500个地方议会席位，其中包括伦敦和英格兰北部的大片传统票仓。该党在苏格兰也遭遇败绩，并在威尔士议会选举中惨败，仅位列第三。要知道，在过去一个多世纪里，工党在威尔士议会和威斯敏斯特议会的历次选举中都占据了榜首。 这些结果导致工党后座议员要求该党改变策略的呼声日益高涨，超过30名议员呼吁更换党魁。鲜为人知的后座议员、前初级部长Catherine West表示，如果斯塔默计划于周一发表的“重启”演讲未能展现出足够明确的政策方向转变，她将在未来几天内尝试发起党魁竞选。 责任编辑：江学思

Piotr Swat | Lightrocket | Getty Images Investors appreciate having dividend stocks in their portfolios as they provide a steady stream of income, even during periods of market volatility. Dividend-paying stocks can help cushion downside risk while offering consistent returns. Given the sheer number of stocks offering dividends, identifying the right ones is not always straightforward. Investors can turn to top Wall Street analysts and follow their insights as they pick dividend stocks that are backed by strong cash flows. Here are three dividend-paying stocks that are highlighted by Wall Street's top pros, as tracked by TipRanks, a platform that ranks analysts based on their past performance. Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. Brookfield Infrastructure owns and operates a diversified portfolio of utilities, transport, midstream and data assets. It recently announced first-quarter earnings and declared a quarterly distribution of about 46 cents per unit, payable on June 30. This distribution represents 6% year-over-year growth. At an annualized distribution per unit of $1.82, BIP offers a yield of about 5%. Following the Q1 2026 print, TD Cowen analyst Cherilyn Radbourne reiterated a buy rating on Brookfield Infrastructure stock with a price target of $57 . The analyst noted that BIP delivered a 10% growth in its Q1 FFOPU, or funds from operations per unit, to 90 cents, in line with the Street's expectations. The five-star analyst added that organic growth reached the high end of BIP's target range of 6% to 9%, supported by inflation-linked pricing, robust midstream utilization, and $1.7 billion of capital expenditure commissioned over the trailing twelve months. Radbourne highlighted that BIP is optimistic about delivering more than 10% growth in FFOPU thi...

Memory chip makers have been riding a wave of surging demand that's boosted pricing power and profit projections in the historically volatile sector. Rather than a one-time shortage in need of a correction, analysts are increasingly talking about this demand as evidence of a "supercycle" in the sector. They think it could last for years, especially if artificial intelligence adoption by big companies happens more quickly than they currently expect. "Surging demand for AI accelerators and inference hardware can dramatically boost revenue for semiconductor firms. If adoption outpaces forecasts, chipmakers across memory, logic, and networking could see windfall gains," analyst Jay Goldberg at Seaport Research Partners wrote in a Wednesday note. Traders have caught wind of the rising demand for memory chips, sending shares of those companies higher in the past week. Chipmaker Micron Technology surged nearly 38% for its best weekly performance since 2008. MU YTD mountain Micron, YTD The Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) , whose constituents include Micron, SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, gained more than 30% for the week. DRAM YTD mountain Roundhill Memory ETF, YTD Readying for a boost in production Samsung Electronics, which recently joined the trillion-dollar valuation club , is advancing the construction of a new mega-fab plant by six months as part of the supercycle, which could extend beyond 2027, analysts said. The company is expected to start building the facility, known as P5 Fab 2, in July at its Pyeongtaek semiconductor campus. "Beyond merely responding to current demand, the move reflects an intent to cement market dominance throughout the multi-year AI semiconductor boom," analysts for Roth wrote in a Tuesday commentary. South Korean memory chip maker SK Hynix is fielding offers from big tech firms to invest in specific production pipelines in order to ramp memory chip production, Reuters reported last week. AI processors need high-bandwidth memory like DRAM and ...

Frankly it is about time for the luck to change. The last article noted that an experienced person replaced another key person. That experience is being put to good use in the form of a debt increase to take advantage of higher commodity prices combined with a focus on bringing as many Belly River wells as possible because they have the highest return. Belly River Wells The second last article noted two things. The first was a big production improvement that came just in time for these higher commodity prices combined with a relatively new location that had superior profitability. Now the company is doubling down by increasing debt (rather than paying it down) and increasing the effort to bring the best location wells online ASAP. This company could well have an informal goal of outperforming the last high-price time in fiscal year 2022. It will be interesting to see if it happens.
