Getty Images Investment Thesis Last year, in July, I recommended CSX Corporation ( CSX ) shares for purchase, as I considered them unfairly undervalued compared to peers . In September, I said to buy the shares, keeping the Buy rating and the target price of the shares at $36. Since then, the shares have grown by 28%, and along with the dividends, investors could have, on my recommendation, earned around 30% in six months. Right now, the shares don't seem undervalued to me. After strong reports for Q2 and Q3, the company unexpectedly released a weak report for Q4, missing market expectations for revenue and net profit. At the moment, the shares are trading at a premium to the average sectoral values for almost all multiples. At the current price, I do not recommend buying CSX shares, so I am downgrading the rating from Buy to Hold. In my opinion, the most optimal strategy is to buy stocks with price corrections of more than 10%. Given the volatility of the market, such corrections are quite likely. Intermodal Growth Not Enough to Offset Core Weakness I recommend reading my first two articles about CSX, among other things. There, in addition to financial analysis of the reports, I also deeply analyzed the company's business model, described its development strategy, the strengths and weaknesses of this strategy, and the key growth drivers and risks inherent in the company. This will help you gain a deeper understanding of the business and better understand the reasons for the company's current financial situation. And now let's move on to analyzing the latest reports. Investor Presentation Q4 turned out to be weak in terms of financial results, which negatively impacted the overall annual result. Revenue for the quarter decreased by 1% yoy to $3.508 billion , although traffic volume increased by 1% yoy. This means that the company earned less on average per carriage and had to carry more to cover the reduction in revenue. Revenue per Unit decreased by 2% yoy in the q...

Love Employee The latest report from Morgan Stanley on GLP-1 adoption in the U.S. indicates that usage is accelerating, with oral formulations and expanded access expected to unlock a broader user base over the next several years. The firm now forecasts that 19M patients in 2026 and 55M in 2035 (15% of the population) will consistently be on an anti-obesity medication. Notably, the forecast is a significant increase from prior estimates. Morgan Stanley's refreshed U.S. calorie model points to a -1.6% reduction in total calorie consumption by 2035, largely unchanged despite higher penetration forecasts. "While we expect the headwind to food demand to continue to build over the next several years as adoption accelerates (~40e bps impact through 2025 with another ~100–150e bps over time), the long-term impact remains broadly unchanged vs. our prior forecasts as higher adoption is offset by real-world usage patterns, including lower persistence, weight regain, and more moderate behavior among incremental users," update the firm. Of interest, Morgan Stanley's 4th AlphaWise survey of GLP-1 users in the U.S. continues to confirm meaningful changes in consumption behavior, with ~50% of users reducing calorie intake by more than 20% via fewer meals/snacks or smaller portions. As the GLP-1 user base expands toward lower-body mass index cohorts, behavior increasingly skews toward more moderate and selective changes. However, that is still a significant headwind for many food and beverage companies. Morgan Stanley analyst Megan Clapp and her team continue to view GLP-1 adoption as part of the broader health and wellness shift, representing an ongoing pressure point for food companies. In the beverage sector, analysts Dara Mohsenian and Eric Serotta think the key for beverage companies will be innovating to zero-calorie products, which is already being seen with non-alcoholic beverages and zero-sugar energy drinks. For the restaurant sector, GLP-1 usage is seen as a headwind for...

The markets have been bleeding since late October, and the geopolitical shockwaves from the Iran conflict have only deepened the damage. During aggressive sell-offs like this, high-growth, high-beta stocks are typically the first casualties. Adobe (ADBE) is a glaring example of this, having given up roughly 35% of its value since December. However, we are finally seeing signs of a base forming, and several of these battered tech darlings are attempting to bounce. With the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) still hovering above 20, caution is absolutely warranted. Trading volume should remain light, but that does not mean you have to sit on your hands completely. You can always test the waters with small, strictly defined positions. Today, I am looking at a classic mean-reversion setup in ADBE using two specific indicators: Fast MACD (5, 13, 5) I prefer this custom MACD setting because it highlights momentum pivots well before standard indicators catch on. We got a definitive bullish crossover on March 31, and that strength has persisted, with the blue MACD line actively tracking above the yellow signal line. Relative strength index: ADBE took a severe hit recently, driving its RSI right down to the critical 30 threshold and into oversold territory. My personal rule is to never buy a stock simply because it looks cheap or oversold. I need to see proof of life first. That confirmation arrived on March 31 when the RSI climbed back above the 30 level, signaling that buyers are stepping in and taking control. The trade setup: ADBE 240-245 bull call spread Here is how I am actually playing this bounce. I am going with a bull call spread. When the market is this nervous, I love this setup because it lets me catch the upside without leaving my account wide open to risk. I can take a shot at the reversal without tying up too much cash. Right now, we are looking at an entry cost of about $2.50. But here is the reality of trading in a headline-driven market: ADBE might gap down under...

When a company announces that it's exploring a possible sale, it could result in a big gain for investors. If an acquiring company wants to buy the stock and pays a premium, investors may stand to make a strong profit. That can be particularly enticing for stocks that have been performing poorly, such as FMC (NYSE: FMC) . Shares of the agricultural sciences company have been crashing over the past year, with FMC's valuation being cut in half. Its financial results haven't been strong by any means, and plenty of question marks surround the business today. And yet, it's up 24% since the start of the year, as many investors may be hopeful that an acquisition will take place soon. But here's why betting on a deal may not be a great idea.

Financial headlines feel personal when you're retired. Every time a high-flying stock drops by double digits in a single trading session or a company's management revises its earnings guidance downward, the instinct is to act -- sell, rebalance, something . But for retirees trying to protect what they've saved over decades of hard work, the most dangerous responses to market volatility are the ones rooted in emotion. The ongoing sell-off in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks isn't necessarily a warning sign that you need to act imminently. Rather, it may be a much-needed reminder that you may have been positioned incorrectly at the outset. Here's what to do. Continue reading

Funtap/iStock via Getty Images Centerspace ( CSR ) stock was raised to Overweight from Neutral at Piper Sandler on the back of its recent underperformance. "Despite the Iran War and spike in oil prices, we don't see themes changing much for REITs heading into 1Q26 earnings, with our expectation for retail and industrial to lead, apartments to lag, and NYC office to show unappreciated strength," said analyst Alexander Goldfarb. "REITs outperformed the broader market in 1Q26, with the group +3.8% YTD versus S&P 500 -4.6%. Jobs remain a focus, with March's +178K standing in contrast to February's -133K (revised lower from initial -92K), and YTD monthly average of 68K versus 2025's ~15K monthly pace," said Goldfarb. "The 10-year stands at 4.3%, which is essentially where it's been since 3Q23. While the economic and political debate of a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz rages, our bigger concern is a potential metastasization of private credit, given an infection of the financing market is not good for CRE," said the analyst. The investment bank attributed the upgrade on CSR to underperformance versus apartment peers YTD (-10% vs. -6.5%). "Its Upper Midwest portfolio offers investors differentiated exposure than the Coasts or Sunbelt of peers. While Denver (20% of NOI) contends with oversupply, CSR's smaller markets remain strong," said the research note.

ozgurdonmaz Apple ( AAPL ) is seeing setbacks in the engineering test phase of the foldable iPhone and could push back its production and shipment schedule, Nikkei Asia reported . Shares in the Cupertino, California-based company fell 4.3% in morning trade. Issues surrounding the engineering development of foldable iPhones are more complex and are taking more time to resolve than Apple had expected, and in the worst case scenario could delay the first shipment by months, according to multiple sources briefed on the matter. A few component suppliers, though not all, have been notified that there is a possibility the component production schedule for the foldable iPhone will be pushed back, the report said. "It's true that more issues than expected have emerged during the early test production phase, and additional time will be needed to resolve them and make necessary adjustments. ... The current situation could put the mass production timeline at risk," one of the people familiar with the matter said. "April will mark a crucial stage of the engineering verification test, and this month till early May is extremely critical," the person added. Apple ( AAPL ) has adjusted its iPhone launch strategy for 2026, pushing back production of the standard model to early 2027 in order to prioritize premium models, including foldable iPhones, and to better allocate constrained supplies of memory chips and other key resources, Nikkei Asia reported earlier. However, another person with knowledge of the situation said the potential schedule delay has nothing to do with the components and materials crunch but is more about the engineering challenges of the American tech giant's first foldable iPhone. "Apple and the supply chain are working under a pressured timeline, and the current solutions are not enough to completely solve the engineering challenges. ... More time is needed," the person added. Apple ( AAPL ) has planned to initially produce about 7 million to 8 million foldable ...
