Image: NVIDIA Gaming just got more expensive and GPU upgrade options just got thinner. Nvidia grabbed a staggering 94% share of the desktop graphics card market in 2025, while AMD’s Radeon division collapsed to a mere 5% — the lowest market share in the company’s history, according to Jon Peddie Research. The Numbers Tell a Brutal Story Desktop GPU shipments surged to 44.28 million units, but Nvidia devoured nearly all the growth. Total graphics card sales jumped 28% from 2024’s 34.7 million units, hitting the second-highest shipment volume this decade. But here’s the kicker: Nvidia’s share climbed from 92% at the start of 2025 to 94% by year’s end, powered by their RTX 50-series Blackwell architecture. AMD’s Radeon cards managed just 0.57 million units in Q4, down from 0.74 million at the beginning of the year. Intel’s Arc Battlemage cards? Still stuck at roughly 1% — basically a rounding error. Why AMD Got Left Behind The RX 9000-series launch stumbled while Nvidia’s Blackwell dominated enthusiast wallets. AMD’s RDNA 4-powered RX 9000-series cards faced availability nightmares and pricing that made them tough sells against Nvidia’s alternatives. Remember when AMD promised competitive performance at better value? Those days feel like ancient history now. Steam libraries don’t care about corporate drama, but wallets definitely notice when one company controls 94% of the discrete graphics market. That’s approaching iPhone-level dominance, except Apple faces Android competition. Market Forces Squeeze Everyone Rising costs and integrated graphics create a perfect storm for discrete GPU buyers. “The AIB market is being squeezed from the bottom by powerful new notebooks and CPU integrated graphics, and from the high end by rising pricing due to competition, memory prices, and Trump administration tariffs,” explains Dr. Jon Peddie, JPR’s president. Translation: the next graphics card will cost more while delivering less bang for buck. Powerful integrated graphics in AMD’s...

The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics — strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. United Bankshares Inc (Symbol: UBSI) presently has a stellar rank, in the top 10% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors. But making United Bankshares Inc an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Monday, shares of UBSI entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $38.57 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of United Bankshares Inc, the RSI reading has hit 28.5 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 40.7. A falling stock price — all else being equal — creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, UBSI's recent annualized dividend of 1.52/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 3.79% based upon the recent $40.14 share price. A bullish investor could look at UBSI's 28.5 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on UBSI is its dividend history. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but, looking at the history chart below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.

Oil prices were on track for their biggest-ever jump in a single day on Monday, before significantly paring gains, following a fresh wave of U.S. and Israeli strikes across Iran over the weekend. Oil depots were among the targets. International benchmark Brent crude futures with May delivery traded 11.6% higher at $103.47 per barrel on Monday, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures with April delivery were last seen 12.2% higher at $101.97. Brent futures had climbed as high as $119.5 per barrel earlier in the trading day, while WTI hit a session high of $119.48. Neil Atkinson, former head of oil at the International Energy Agency, said the effective closure of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz is something energy markets had never seen before.

格隆汇3月9日｜据日本财务大臣片山皋月透露，七国集团(G7)财长一致同意继续密切监测能源市场动态，并采取必要措施支持全球能源供应，包括释放石油储备。片山在参加完G7在线会议后表示，与会者讨论了中东局势及其对贸易和金融市场的影响，她在会上解释了由原油价格飙升引发的股票和外汇市场波动。

核心要点 拥有 Ticketmaster 的 Live Nation 公司就反垄断问题与美国司法部达成和解。 和解协议要求 Ticketmaster 向竞争对手开放其票务技术，Live Nation 需剥离至少 13 座露天剧场。 美国司法部曾于 2024 年起诉 Live Nation，指控其在票务行业形成垄断。 美国司法部一名高级官员周一表示，Live Nation 娱乐公司已就旗下 Ticketmaster 平台相关的反垄断问题与司法部达成和解。 根据和解协议，Ticketmaster 将解除与艺人的部分独家合作协议，推动票务行业形成更充分的竞争。该协议仍需获得 20 多个提起诉讼的州以及法院批准。 和解内容主要包括： Ticketmaster 将提供独立的第三方票务系统，允许 SeatGeek 等其他公司使用其技术； Live Nation 同意剥离至少 13 座露天剧场； 不得再强制艺人使用与其场馆绑定的其他 Live Nation 产品； 同意支付约 2.8 亿美元 民事罚款。 Live Nation 股价在早盘交易中上涨 5%。Live Nation 与 Ticketmaster 暂未回应置评请求。 Ticketmaster 长期以来因在现场演出及票务领域的主导地位推高消费者票价而饱受批评。近年来，歌迷普遍反映热门演出门票越来越难买、价格越来越贵，该公司因此受到更严格的审查。 2022 年，泰勒・斯威夫特巡演门票发售出现严重混乱，引发强烈抗议，相关部门随即对该公司展开调查。2024 年，美国司法部联合二十多个州提起诉讼，要求拆分 2010 年合并的 Live Nation 与 Ticketmaster。 同年 9 月，美国联邦贸易委员会还就 Ticketmaster 所谓 “非法” 门票转售策略单独起诉该公司。FTC 称，Ticketmaster 控制着大型演唱会场馆约 80% 的票务市场。 纽约州总检察长利蒂希娅・詹姆斯周一发表声明称，即便在与司法部达成协议后，其办公室仍将继续打击 Live Nation 涉嫌的垄断行为。 “近期与美国司法部宣布的这项和解协议未能解决本案核心的垄断问题，反而会以牺牲消费者利益为代价让 Live Nation 获益。我们无法同意该协议。” 詹姆斯表示，另有 20 多个州的总检察长与她持相同立场。 责任编辑：郭明煜

Getty Images Shares in Costco Wholesale Corporation ( COST ) have continued to outperform its peers and the broader markets, with gains of nearly 16% YTD and flat movement over the past month. This compares to gains of 7.5% from nearby competitor BJ’s Wholesale ( BJ ) and 11% from Walmart ( WMT ) on a YTD basis and negative returns from its peers and the broader markets over the past month. Seeking Alpha - YTD Share Price Returns Of COST Compared To Peers The outperformance from the warehouse club operator is due in part to its operating results, which continue to exceed expectations and track ahead of the peer set . The company has also served as a go-to value destination for consumers looking to save a few dollars from their bulk shopping needs through, in part, lowered prices for key products, including eggs, cheese, and coffee. I believe COST has a positive outlook and believe the outperformance is warranted. However, near its 52-week highs and carrying a rich trading multiple, I believe new investors could be better off waiting for a more attractive entry point. COST Stock Key Metrics COST currently carries a forward trading multiple of nearly 50x earnings. This is comparable to the multiple of WMT, so it’s not entirely out of whack. However, it’s more than double the value, BJ. Valuation metrics are also richly priced elsewhere, including its price/sales, which sits at over 1.5x, compared to the 0.5x of BJ. Seeking Alpha - Valuation Metrics Of COST Compared To Peers The premium pricing is one factor working against COST on Seeking Alpha’s (“SA”) quant scores . While shares grade well in their profitability and momentum, the stock is weighed down by an “F” score on valuation. This ultimately lands shares as a ‘hold’ according to the SA quants. Seeking Alpha - Quant Scores Of COST Compared To Peers Likewise, the broader SA analyst community also widely views shares as a ‘hold.’ In fact, to some surprise, the vast majority of coverage from the SA analyst communit...

Getty Images Shares of Korn Ferry ( KFY ) have been a mixed performer over the past year, losing about 2% of their value. While the company has delivered solid financial results, its exposure to the hiring market via its recruiting business line has been a source of ongoing concern. Given its focus on executive recruiting and more diverse business, KFY has less exposure to hiring than peers like Robert Half ( RHI ), but a weakening jobs market is undoubtedly a headwind. I last covered shares in December , rating Korn Ferry a “buy,” as I felt these fears were overdone, but since then, the stock is down 6%, a disappointing performance. With updated financials, now is a good time to revisit KFY. Seeking Alpha In the company’s fiscal third quarter , Korn Ferry earned $1.28, which was $0.04 ahead of expectations as revenue grew by 7% to $725 million. EBITDA grew by almost 8% to $123 million as margins expanded 10 bps to 17.2%. Much of this margin accretion reflects a mix shift towards higher-margin units. Still, with EPS up 8% and revenue solidly growing, KFY is defying macro fears about a slowdown, and its business is performing at a high level. Across geographies, Korn Ferry grew 6% in the US, 13% in Europe, and was down 2% in Asia. I would note Europe had a 7% tailwind from currency, and underlying growth was comparable to the US. As you can see, growth was fairly broad-based across industry segments. Non-profits were the one weak spot, a consistent trend. With a pullback in government funding and grant activity, I have been cautious on this segment. As we enter fiscal 2027, comparisons should get easier, but I do not expect this industry to be a source of growth anytime soon. Korn Ferry Importantly, its backlog was up an even stronger 11% to $1.9 billion, led by 16% growth in Digital. This provides some visibility into future revenue, and the strength of the backlog suggests that end-customer demand remains solid. New business was up 8% on a constant currency basis, ...

Investors eyeing a purchase of Vera Therapeutics Inc (Symbol: VERA) shares, but cautious about paying the going market price of $38.58/share, might benefit from considering selling puts among the alternative strategies at their disposal. One interesting put contract in particular, is the January 2028 put at the $30 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of $7.00. Collecting that bid as the premium represents a 23.3% return against the $30 commitment, or a 12.5% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the). Selling a put does not give an investor access to VERA's upside potential the way owning shares would, because the put seller only ends up owning shares in the scenario where the contract is exercised. And the person on the other side of the contract would only benefit from exercising at the $30 strike if doing so produced a better outcome than selling at the going market price. (Do options carry counterparty risk? This and six other common options myths debunked). So unless Vera Therapeutics Inc sees its shares fall 22.5% and the contract is exercised (resulting in a cost basis of $23.00 per share before broker commissions, subtracting the $7.00 from $30), the only upside to the put seller is from collecting that premium for the 12.5% annualized rate of return. Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Vera Therapeutics Inc, and highlighting in green where the $30 strike is located relative to that history: The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the January 2028 put at the $30 strike for the 12.5% annualized rate of return represents good reward for the risks.

So unless Baker Hughes Company sees its shares decline 24.3% and the contract is exercised (resulting in a cost basis of $43.80 per share before broker commissions, subtracting the $1.20 from $45), the only upside to the put seller is from collecting that premium for the 4.4% annualized rate of return. Worth considering, is that the annualized 4.4% figure actually exceeds the 1.6% annualized dividend paid by Baker Hughes Company by 2.8%, based on the current share price of $59.48. And yet, if an investor was to buy the stock at the going market price in order to collect the dividend, there is greater downside because the stock would have to lose 24.34% to reach the $45 strike price. Always important when discussing dividends is the fact that, in general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company.

Investors eyeing a purchase of Targa Resources Corp (Symbol: TRGP) stock, but cautious about paying the going market price of $236.80/share, might benefit from considering selling puts among the alternative strategies at their disposal. One interesting put contract in particular, is the July put at the $220 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of $11.00. Collecting that bid as the premium represents a 5% return against the $220 commitment, or a 14% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the). Selling a put does not give an investor access to TRGP's upside potential the way owning shares would, because the put seller only ends up owning shares in the scenario where the contract is exercised.

Interestingly, that annualized 14% figure actually exceeds the 1.7% annualized dividend paid by Targa Resources Corp by 12.3%, based on the current share price of $236.80.
