At its last meeting on April 29, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decided to keep the federal funds rate where it has been since December, in the 3.5% to 3.75% range. It came as no surprise to anyone, as inflation has been ticking back up, driven by higher energy costs.

Markets rally as US president announces ‘short’ pause to operation escorting ships through strait of Hormuz Business live – latest updates Oil prices have fallen below $100 and stock markets rose as Donald Trump touted “great progress” towards a “final agreement” with Iran, and Tehran indicated it was ready to reopen the strait of Hormuz. The US president said he would briefly pause his “Project Freedom” operation escorting ships through the strait, which carries about a fifth of the world’s oil supplies but has been blockaded by Iran since late February, triggering a global energy crisis.

Michael Nosek/iStock via Getty Images Cameco ( CCJ ) is one of my favorite large-cap stocks in the market today and is a part of my Ultra Growth and Relative Value portfolios. It has delivered consistent alpha year-over-year for the past one, three, five, and ten years, and has become one of the most strategically important companies in the world when it comes to nuclear fuel. The company, which is currently trading at $118.26, is headquartered in Canada and operates some of the highest-grade uranium deposits in the world. I, personally, am a very big fan of how Cameco is managed. While many other commodity producers try to maximize output during weak markets, in the past Cameco has reduced production and held uranium underground when prices were too low to justify mining. That supply discipline is one of Cameco’s defining characteristics! They chose to curtail their major mines like McArthur River after the Fukushima disaster in 2011 and the following uranium bear market and instead focused on maintaining their high-grade assets and maintenance. Their strategy of preserving high-grade resources while waiting for stronger contracting conditions instead of flooding the market with excess showed brilliant execution, as now that the uranium market has tightened and utilities have begun signing long-term supply agreements, Cameco is in a fantastic position. But Cameco isn’t just a uranium miner, they also refine and convert the uranium into fuel for nuclear reactors. They produce roughly 13–14 million kgU of conversion products per year. So, while different companies compete with them in varying parts of the nuclear fuel cycle, very few competitors can actually match Cameco’s vertical integration. As with their acquisition of a 49% stake in Westinghouse Electric Company (remember them?), they have become more akin to a full nuclear energy platform. But what is the tailwind behind Cameco’s success today? It’s the global return to nuclear energy! Countries have pledged to...

ricochet64/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Johnson Controls International ( JCI ) reported fiscal second-quarter results that exceeded Wall Street expectations, but signs of uneven growth and lingering macro pressures appeared to temper investor enthusiasm, sending shares down about 2% in premarket trading Wednesday. The stock had gained 62% through Tuesday’s close. The maker of HVAC systems, fire and security solutions and smart building technologies under brands such as York, Metasys and Tyco, posted revenue of about $6.1 billion, up 8% and ahead of the $6.08 billion consensus estimate. Adjusted earnings rose to $1.19 a share, beating expectations of $1.12. Strong demand masks uneven regional trends While headline results were solid, underlying performance showed some cracks. Organic sales in Europe, the Middle East and Africa rose just 1%, significantly lagging other regions, as growth in products and systems was offset by disruptions tied to Middle East conflicts and weaker non-recurring services volumes. That unevenness contrasts with stronger gains in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, where demand for applied HVAC systems and large-scale projects, particularly data centers, continued to drive growth. Orders increased 30% organically and backlog reached a record $20 billion, but investors may be questioning how much of that demand can convert cleanly into near-term revenue given geopolitical and project timing risks. Chief Executive Joakim Weidemanis struck an upbeat tone, saying in the announcement: “We delivered another quarter of strong execution, converting sustained demand into consistent growth, margin expansion, and 45% adjusted EPS growth.” Guidance lifted but not enough to impress Johnson Controls ( JCI ) raised its full-year outlook, now expecting organic sales growth of about 6% and adjusted earnings of roughly $4.85 per share, up from a prior view of about $4.70 and above the $4.76 consensus. Still, the guidance upgrade was relatively modest given th...

Check out the companies making the biggest moves premarket: Advanced Micro Devices — Shares surged 20% after the chipmaker issued strong guidance. AMD is calling for second-quarter revenue of $11.2 billion, plus or minus $300 million, versus the analyst estimate for $10.52 billion. First-quarter results also surpassed expectations on the top and bottom lines. Super Micro Computer — The server maker jumped almost 15%. Expectations for fourth-quarter profit range from 65 cents to 79 cents per share, trouncing Wall Street's call for 55 cents a share, per LSEG. In the third quarter, Super Micro posted adjusted earnings of 84 cents per share on revenue of $10.24 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected earnings of 62 cents and $12.39 billion in revenue. Disney — The media giant jumped 5% on fiscal second-quarter revenue that beat analyst expectations. Driving the beat was a strong performance from the company's streaming and theme park businesses. CVS Health — The pharmacy benefits operator gained 4% on better-than-expected results for the first quarter. CVS earned an adjusted $2.57 per share on revenue of $100.43 billion. Analysts polled by LSEG expected a profit of $2.20 per share on revenue of $95.1 billion. The company also hiked its full-year earnings outlook. Uber — Shares surged 9% despite first-quarter revenues coming in lighter than expected. The rideshare company reported $13.2 billion in revenue, compared to estimates from analysts polled by LSEG of $13.29 billion in revenue. Guidance for the current quarter came in better-than-expected though, and the company beat estimates slightly on earnings. Jacobs Solutions — Shares slipped 1% after the technical professional services firm reported a second-quarter adjusted earnings and revenue beat versus what analysts polled by FactSet had expected. The company also raised its full-year earnings guidance. It now sees earnings coming in between $7.10 to $7.35 per share, higher than previous guidance of between $...

Jae Young Ju/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Intro We last wrote on POSCO Holdings Inc. ( PKX ) in January 2022, when we delved into the steel producer's balance sheet, where we found some encouraging trends. Shares at the time were trading just below $57 a share, and although it took a further 9+ months before the stock bottomed in late 2022, well below $40 a share, all we have seen is strong upside since that juncture. The reason for our analysis in 2022 was that, since we had recommended selling put options on POSCO the previous year (which ultimately went in-the-money), we wanted to reassure investors that significant upside remained in POSCO, and that is what ultimately played out here. With the stock now trading firmly above $80 a share, the stock has returned almost 50% since our January 2022 commentary, where we believe gains may only be getting started here. In fact, the company has just released its first-quarter earnings numbers, which were impressive to say the least. Posco's technicals were already very encouraging coming into the release of the report on the 30th of April, and we will see the ramifications of this shortly from a technical standpoint. Impressive Q1 Numbers First quarter net profit, as we see below, grew significantly both sequentially and compared to the same period of 12 months prior. Better-than-expected earnings came in Q1 as a result of robust performance in solid infrastructure and Rechargeable Battery Materials. The steel segment (although affected by forex headwinds in the quarter) performed strongly in its overseas subsidiaries, which bodes well for sustained future gains. Therefore, resiliency was the name that came to mind for POSCO in Q1, especially concerning the ongoing ramifications of the US-Iran conflict in the Middle East. Management pointed to this resiliency in its Q1 report, as we see below In the first quarter, the U.S.-Iran war disrupted the energy supply chain, which triggered greater fluctuations in the financi...

It's also attractive as an asset-light business that is expanding globally and pays a dividend yielding 2.3%. But even with the Berkshire vote of confidence, that hasn't equated to a rising stock price. After its Q1 2026 earnings release on April 27, the stock price dipped, leaving investors to wonder if it was an overreaction to short-term results that is creating a buying opportunity.
