Reliable income in consumer staples does not require buying the same 10 mega-cap names every financial news outlet recommends. Deeper in the market, a handful of overlooked companies are paying and growing dividends backed by business models that larger competitors cannot easily replicate. One of the three tickers featured here hits especially close to home for me. As a resident of North Carolina, I've personally watched this business show remarkable resilience in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. 1. Marzetti Marzetti (MZTI 3.99%), formerly operating as Lancaster Colony, has raised its cash dividend annually for 62 consecutive years. That alone puts it in rarefied air. But the forward story is what makes Marzetti genuinely exciting right now. In February 2026, the company announced a $400 million acquisition of Bachan's, the Japanese barbecue sauce brand founded on a multigenerational family recipe. Bachan's grew from zero to $87 million in net sales between 2019 and 2025, a compound annual growth rate of 48%. CEO David Ciesinski said Marzetti plans to broaden Bachan's distribution, support product innovation, and extend the brand into new channels and adjacent categories. This is Marzetti's playbook: Identify small, culturally resonant food brands with cult followings and then plug them into Marzetti's massive retail and foodservice distribution network.

alxpin/iStock via Getty Images Boeing ( BA ) has signed a contract valued at about $289 million to provide Israel with up to 5,000 air-launched precision bombs, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday, citing three people familiar with the agreement. The weapons are Boeing’s ( BA ) Small Diameter Bomb, a guided munition designed to strike targets more than 40 miles away when deployed from fighter aircraft. The sources said the deal isn't tied to the current U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. Deliveries aren't expected to begin for roughly three years. The order represents at least the third known purchase of the weapon by Israel. In February 2025, the U.S. State Department informed congressional foreign affairs committees that Israel planned to acquire 2,166 of the bombs. After Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, Boeing ( BA ) accelerated shipments of about 1,000 units to the country. Unlike many defense transactions involving U.S. allies, the latest agreement is structured as a direct commercial sale between Boeing ( BA ) and Israel rather than a government-to-government foreign military sale. Details of the contract are expected to appear later in the Federal Register. The deal also was not included in a State Department announcement Friday describing a separate $151 million emergency foreign military sale to Israel. That transaction covers 12,000 BLU-110 1,000-pound bomb casings produced by Repkon USA. According to a State Department official, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Congress that urgent circumstances justified bypassing the normal congressional review period for the BLU-110 sale.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. is expanding its workforce and production footprint as global demand for advanced chips grows. The key contract chipmaker's expansion plans remain on track despite the U.S.–Iran conflict, which has triggered a broad selloff in semiconductor and major technology stocks. Taiwan Semiconductor Launches Major Hiring Push Taiwan Semiconductor said it plans to hire about 8,000 employees this year to support its expansion and will offer an average annual salary of 2.2 million New Taiwanese dollars ($69,449) to newly recruited engineers with a master's degree. Don't Miss: The company launched a recruitment campaign in Taiwan that included a job fair at National Taiwan University, where it sought engineers and technical staff for facilities in Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli, Taichung, Chiayi, Tainan, and Kaohsiung, the Taipei Times reported on Sunday. Taiwan Semiconductor said it is recruiting talent across multiple fields, including electrical engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, business management, and accounting, while also targeting specialists in AI, big data, and digital transformation technologies. The company plans to hold additional recruitment events at other universities and online, and to run a summer internship program for university students.

Since Israel and the United States launched their illegal and disastrous war against Iran , some Western apologists for this axis of aggression have dragged China into their propaganda. They say the war exposes how unreliable and useless China is as an ally and partner because it is nowhere to be found in Iran’s hour of need. The question is not whether Beijing should stick out its neck . No one wants to get involved in this potentially catastrophic war. That includes America’s Nato allies, which have been making excuses, including denying or stalling US access to their military bases and airspace for transit operations. Remember the Europeans are formal military allies with decades-long mutual security guarantees. China has no such commitment with anyone, with the possible exception of North Korea Advertisement China prefers to trade with partners and help them build physical and telecommunications infrastructure. The US sells its allies and partners weapons to enrich its military-industrial complex and make them partners in crime to bomb America’s or Israel’s enemies. That is the real issue; as the quote widely attributed to Henry Kissinger goes, “To be an enemy of America is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.” From Oman to Kuwait, virtually all the Gulf states have been dragged into the war and attacked by Iran almost as soon as the shooting started. As a tactical move, Tehran has apologised to its Arab neighbours, but they all knew they would be terribly exposed in any renewal of hostility between Iran and the US and Israel. That is the price you pay when you get too close to the axis of naked aggression. 04:04 How US-Israeli strikes on Iran are sending shock waves through global energy markets How US-Israeli strikes on Iran are sending shock waves through global energy markets During an episode of Amanpour and Company last week, host Christiane Amanpour asked Prince Turki al-Faisal, a former top Saudi official, about Arab Gulf states: “Is hosting American ...

In this article F Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT 2023 Ford Super Duty F-550 Chassis Cab Ford DETROIT — Ford Motor is launching a new artificial intelligence system for its Pro commercial vehicle business as it tries to grow the unit's profits and software revenue. The Detroit automaker on Tuesday said the new "Ford Pro AI" can monitor and analyze more than 1 billion data points daily from connected commercial vehicles — from seatbelt use to vehicle health, route optimization and fuel consumption. The goal is to equip its 840,000 paid commercial subscribers with tools to increase efficiency and profits and reduce vehicle downtimes by allowing them to more easily analyze their businesses and operations, according to Ford. The automaker reporting growing its Pro subscribers by 30% last year. "Helping them maximize their vehicles' uptime, increase productivity, and lower costs isn't just good business — it's essential for all of us," said Kevin Dunbar, general manager for Ford Pro Intelligence, during a media briefing. "Our team is helping build the future of fleet operations." Ford Pro's fleet business includes sales to commercial, government and rental customers as well as its Super Duty large truck business. Ford CEO Jim Farley last month said diversifying Pro's revenue — specifically in software — is a crucial growth area for the company. He said Ford's software and physical services, such as its mobile service and maintenance, are "rapidly approaching" a 20% target for Pro's earnings. The new AI offering will be included with Ford's telematics subscribers, which have helped the company grow and diversify its revenue. Ford Pro last year reported $66 billion in revenue and $6.8 billion in earnings, with a 10.3% profit margin. The system is launching as a prompted, read-only format but Ford will continue to look at expanding its capabilities to meet customers' needs, Dunbar said. Pro AI is built off Google Cloud using proprietary data from the automak...

Private credit lenders have provided a more than $400 million delayed draw term loan for Blackstone Inc. ’s Enverus after supplying roughly $3 billion in December, according to people familiar with the matter. Blackstone, which agreed to buy the energy data platform in August, was part of a group of lenders that includes Ares Management Corp. , Oaktree Capital Management , Thoma Bravo , HPS Investment Partners and Antares Capital , said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. The new loan will help support Enverus’ acquisition of Spatial Business Systems , an AI-enabled design automation platform for electric and gas utilities. The deal, disclosed this month without terms, is expected to close in the second quarter. With the additional borrowings, Enverus is now leveraged at a ratio of about 7.5 times debt-to-earnings, according to another person familiar with the matter. Representatives for Blackstone, Ares, Antares, HPS and Oaktree declined to comment. Representatives for Enverus and Thoma Bravo didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Firms in the $1.8 trillion private credit market have been under scrutiny due to their exposure to software-as-a-service companies, which investors fear may be rendered obsolete by the advance of artificial intelligence tools. Enverus refers to itself as “the only energy-dedicated SaaS platform.” The original $3 billion term loan was accompanied by a $3.8 billion equity check from Blackstone, the people familiar also said. The loan priced at 4.5 percentage points over the benchmark rate and was covenant lite, according to regulatory disclosures. The original issue discount on the debt was 99.5, the people said. Ares, Oaktree, Antares, Thoma Bravo, Blackstone and HPS were also lenders on that deal, along with Cliffwater, Jefferies and Mizuho. Representatives for those three firms either declined to comment or didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Ford announced a new AI-powered service for its commercial fleet and telematics software customers called Ford Pro AI. The generative AI system analyzes data generated by commercial vehicles — including vehicle speed, seat belt activity, and engine health — and converts it into actionable items for fleet managers. The new system manifests as — what else? — an AI chatbot within Ford’s Telematics software that customers can ask questions about their fleets or delegate tasks. Managers can ask the chatbot for recommendations to lower fuel costs, insight about specific vehicles in their fleets, or even to draft emails to a supervisor summarizing the output from their previous requests. The interface looks similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini — though Ford declined to name the specific model it was using. Kevin Dunbar, general manager for Ford Pro Intelligence, said Ford Pro AI won’t just be your standard large-language model chatbot, but rather a tool that uses “accurate, manufacturer-grade vehicle data” to generate accurate, trustworthy responses. Previous Next 1 / 4 Image: Ford Pro “The result is a multi-agent architecture that’s built on clean, well-structured data sourced from each customer’s distinct fleet reducing the potential of AI hallucinations,” Dunbar said in a briefing with reporters. Like most automakers, Ford is integrating more AI-powered features into its products as it races to keep pace with the rapidly changing times. The company is using AI to speed up its vehicle design process and has integrated a chatbot into its smartphone app to help its passenger vehicle customers solve problems like how much mulch will fit in the bed of an F-150. Ford is now aiming to bring this technology to ...

Rand Paul Warns Of "Disastrous" Midterms For GOP If Iran War Continues Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a leading voice for non-interventionism within the Republican Party, warned Tuesday that prolonged U.S. military action against Iran could spell disaster for Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections.
