Just_Super/E+ via Getty Images Celestica ( CLS ) benefited from strong demand for its Cloud services in the first quarter that are required in order to run large-scale Data Centers. As a result, Celestica crushed estimates for its first quarter. Yet, despite the company's raised guidance for FY 2026 and ramp in sector CapEx, shares dropped 14% after the report. I believe this sell-off was only a 'sell the news' kind of event, and I expect Celestica to continue to deliver a strong performance in 2026. I like that Celestica is heavily oriented towards the Data Center segment, where investment spending is marking new records. Celestica has seen a strong run in the last year, with shares rising almost 350%, but given the stickiness of CapEx trends, I believe that the Data Center enterprise will continue to be able to surprise investors. Data by YCharts Previous Rating I rated shares of Celestica a 'Buy' -- A 2026 AI Opportunity With Growth Potential -- as it developed an AI-optimized hardware infrastructure product line-up to be deployed in a growing footprint of U.S. Data Centers. Celestica significantly increased its guidance for FY 2026 last week, yet shares dropped more than 10% as investors took profits after a strong performance in the last year. That said, Celestica's fundamentals are improving, and CapEx spending in the server industry, in my opinion, is set to accelerate , not decelerate, in the years ahead, creating favorable demand dynamics to support Celestica's growth. Celestica: A Play on the AI Boom Celestica beat results for the bottom line amid strong demand for hardware products in the server industry: it reported $2.16 per share in non-GAAP earnings, beating the estimate by $0.08 per share. Revenues reached $4.05B but slightly missed the average prediction by $1.0M. Seeking Alpha Celestica's Cloud Solutions segment fortified its position as a growth driver for the AI infrastructure company in the first quarter, with the segment posting massive 76% gro...

Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. appears to have been able to export a second liquefied natural gas shipment through the Strait of Hormuz, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg, even as the Iran war halts most traffic. The Mraweh tanker, which is owned by Adnoc, was seen loaded with a cargo near northern Indonesia on Wednesday, with Japan listed as its next destination, after not transmitting a location for over two weeks, shipping data shows. The vessel was previously spotted empty on April 19, idling near the eastern entrance of Hormuz. It isn’t immediately clear where the ship picked up the fuel. Since 2021, it has only taken shipments from Adnoc’s Das Island LNG export plant in the Persian Gulf, according to shipping data. Adnoc didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. If confirmed, it would only be the second known LNG shipment exported from the Persian Gulf since the war began at the end of February. The Mubaraz — which loaded a cargo from Das Island in early March — also stopped sending a signal in late-March before reappearing nearly a month later crossing the southern tip of India. Adnoc appears to still be loading LNG from its Das Island facility. Satellite images showed another tanker docked there on Tuesday, despite the shipping data not signaling any carriers in the area. Movement through Hormuz remains fraught with risk, as the US and Iran struggle to agree a peace deal and have implemented their own de facto blockades. Iranian drones struck an empty Adnoc tanker off the coast of Oman earlier this week, according to the company. The ongoing conflict has throttled roughly a fifth of global LNG supply, sending gas prices higher in Europe and Asia, and triggering energy shortages in some emerging economies. While the potential passage may raise hopes of increased LNG exports from the region, most other vessels in the Gulf appear to be remaining in place. Before the war, roughly three loaded LNG carriers transited Hormuz daily.

The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has more than doubled since the current bull market began in October 2022, and the index currently trades near its record high. But the stock market may run into trouble when Kevin Warsh potentially replaces Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in May. Last week, the Senate Banking Committee voted to advance Warsh's nomination to the full Senate, but the vote fell entirely along party lines for the first time in history. Democrats are concerned Warsh will push for unnecessary rate cuts to appease President Trump, who has repeatedly attacked Powell for keeping interest rates "too high." However, investors should be more concerned about Warsh's ambition to shrink the Fed's balance sheet, which could actually put upward pressure on interest rates. That could be bad news for the stock market, particularly because the S&P 500 already trades at a rich valuation. Continue reading

Federico Luppi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Ferrari N.V. ( RACE ) released its Q1 results, and we are back to comment on the financials after our Buy Rating upgrade . Our readers know that we have been long on Ferrari, and then after a meaningful valuation reset, we re-enter the equity investment. This was supported by 1) governance visibility with the renewal of the shareholder agreement, 2) continued expansion in lifestyle, and 3) tailor-made car offerings that well support earnings growth. Even with a more conservative multiple, Ferrari was screening as a buy; however, since our rating upgrade, shares have declined by more than 10% (Fig. 1). Author Rating Update Fig 1 Q1 Results and Our Upside Case The company kicked off 2026 with solid results. Ferrari delivered 3% revenue growth (6% at constant FX) to €1.85 billion (Fig. 2). Profitability remained strong with an EBITDA of €722 million and a margin of 39.1%. Going down to the P&L, at first sight, the core operating profit was only up 1% to €548 million compared to Q1 2025. However, Ferrari EBIT was up 8% at constant FX with a margin of 29.7%. EBITDA and EBIT increases were attributable to higher personalization and product MIX (F80 and Special Series). On the other hand, the company reported a higher D&A due to new model launches. At the net income level, the company was negatively impacted by FX headwinds and positively influenced by lower net financial expenses and a lower tax rate. This was attributable to the new Patent Box. This is an Italian tax incentive designed for companies that develop and exploit intellectual property, and companies can apply a "super deduction" of ~110% to R&D costs associated with eligible intangible assets. This is hard to forecast, but we believe it is not a one-off and could provide earnings growth upside. Ferrari Q1 Results in a Snap Fig 2 Why are we positive? The start of the year is usually the weakest quarter. However, the company reported supportive sales and margin pe...

What are the smartest business moves of all time? Amazon 's (NASDAQ: AMZN) decision to expand into cloud services has to rank near the top of the list. Amazon Web Services (AWS) now has an annualized revenue run rate of $150 billion. It generates nearly 60% of Amazon's total operating income. Now, Amazon could be about to have a new AWS-like business on its hands. CEO Andy Jassy told analysts in his company's fiscal 2026 first-quarter earnings call that Amazon Leo, which will soon provide satellite internet services, is "reminiscent of AWS" in some ways. Given AWS's impact on Amazon's stock trajectory, investors should be paying close attention to the company's latest endeavor. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading
