IURII KRASILNIKOV/iStock via Getty Images Crescent Energy ( CRGY ) reported a loss due to a noncash impairment charge . What is causing these charges throughout the industry are the weak commodity prices that trigger a lower of cost or market impairment combined with the sudden rise in commodity prices that caused hedges to lose value as commodity prices went up. The last article noted the acquisition of royalties as part of a venture into yet another business line in the upstream part of the business. The purchases made during times of weak commodity prices are often higher than the lower of cost or market calculation would allow. That triggers an immediate impairment charge during the next reporting period. But that charge does not indicate that the company will not make decent money from the purchase once commodity prices recover. The United States GAAP accounting does not allow recovery of that impairment during the next cyclical recovery. But IFRS, which is used in several countries of the world does allow the recovery of that impairment because that accounting system recognizes that the costs overall could be very reasonable even if they are not at the current low price in the cycle. This difference in thoughts in the two major accounting systems demonstrates an overall accounting disagreement as to the actual effect of the impairment. For Crescent Energy, many times it has purchased properties from higher cost operators that tend to use older more costly practices. These operators have a higher breakeven point. Sometimes Crescent Energy can combine the acquired properties into one that is much more profitable. The company has long had a goal of building an Eagle Ford presence and is now adding a Permian presence as well. Generally, this company will continue to buy properties as long as the purchase price is considered a bargain and then will likely sell the company when selling prices are likewise a whole lot better than they are now. This is something that ...

manusapon kasosod/iStock via Getty Images U.S. gasoline prices climbed past $4.50 a gallon on Tuesday for the first time since July 2022, according to GasBuddy, as ongoing conflict involving the U.S., Israel and Iran continues to disrupt a key global oil transit route. The national average reached $4.52 a gallon as of late Tuesday afternoon, marking a steady rise since prices crossed the $4 threshold in late March. That level had last been seen in the months following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The increase comes just ahead of the Memorial Day holiday, the traditional start of the U.S. summer driving season, raising concerns about higher costs for consumers and broader economic implications if prices continue to climb. California remained the most expensive state for fuel, with average prices hitting $6.14 a gallon. The surge at the pump has tracked a sharp rally in crude oil markets, with Brent crude gaining roughly 58% since hostilities began. Much of the pressure stems from disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint that normally handles about one-fifth of global oil flows. Analysts say the continued constraints on shipping through the strait, combined with refining issues, have amplified upward pressure on fuel prices. A recent outage at BP’s 440,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Whiting, Indiana temporarily reduced output, though operations have since resumed. Inventory trends are adding to concerns. U.S. gasoline stockpiles have been declining faster than typical seasonal patterns, with data showing a drop of more than 6 million barrels last week to 222.3 million barrels, the lowest level since December and below the five-year average. Morgan Stanley noted that while supply constraints are driving much of the drawdown, demand has remained relatively resilient. U.S. gasoline consumption averaged 8.95 million barrels a day over the past four weeks, up 1% from a year earlier. Meanwhile, U.S. gasoline futures were trading around $3.64 a gallon on T...

Manuel Milan Restaurant Brands International ( QSR ) gained in early trading on Wednesday after topping estimates on both lines of its first-quarter earnings report. The restaurant operator reported system-wide sales growth of 6.2% in Q1. Comparable sales were up 3.2% during the quarter to top the consensus expectation of +3.0%, driven higher by a 5.8% increase for the Burger King segment. The international business was also strong during the quarter with a 5.7% comp, while Popeyes struggled with a 6.5% decline in comparable sales. Total revenue was up 7.1% to $2.26B to beat the consensus estimate by $20M. Adjusted operating income was $229M vs. $220M a year ago. Non-GAAP EPS of $0.86 was ahead of the consensus estimate of $0.83. Restaurant Brands International ( QSR ) saw 2.6% net restaurant growth during the quarter to end it with 32,985 units. Weighing in on the report, RBC Capital Markets analyst Logan Reich said the Burger King business was a bright spot to help make up for weaker-than-anticipated numbers with the Tim Hortons chain.

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images I Believe SHOP Remains A "Buy" Following Its Post-Earnings Dip I turned bullish on Shopify, Inc. ( SHOP ) in early February 2026 , right before the company's Q4 2025 results release, expecting an eventual re-acceleration in SHOP's top-line growth and its TAM expansion thanks to the ongoing AI integration and new AI-related opportunities (like agentic AI stuff). Then SHOP reported, beating on the top line but missing on the bottom line, and the stock lost over 8% after earnings. Remarkably, the next two trading sessions after that Q4 release formed a local support level, and the SHOP stock price hasn't breached for the whole quarter (as of early May 2026). A few hours ago, Shopify released its fresh quarterly data, this time for Q1 2026, and the stock is falling down again. Yesterday, SHOP closed over 15% lower, despite showing a nice double-beating this time. Seeking Alpha, SHOP In spite of this negative price action, I think SHOP looks tempting on this post-earnings dip as the catalysts I foresaw previously remain in active mode, waiting for an eventual materialization. The valuation has already reset meaningfully, and while I agree that on most conventional metrics SHOP still looks pricey, when we adjust for what's coming next for their business model, the stock wouldn't look that expensive. Based on all this, I'm not touching my "Buy" rating on SHOP following the Q1 print. Reviewing SHOP's Q1 Results In the latest quarter, we saw that SHOP's GMV (gross merchandise volume), which is the total dollar value of orders facilitated through their platform, has reached $100.7 billion (+37% YoY), and it has massively driven up the firm's top line. In Q1, SHOP had $3.17 billion in revenues (+34% YoY), beating the consensus estimate by 2.70%, according to Seeking Alpha data. Breaking down the revenue's components , we see that Subscription Solutions brought in $750 million (+21% YoY), the Merchant Solutions segment gave $2.42 bill...

Getty Images Warner Brothers ( WBD ) is in the process of being bought out by Paramount Skydance ( PSKY ). The acquisition follows months of competitive bidding, financial complexity and debates on funding, as well as life after the acquisition. The acquisition is highly controversial and, as a result, carries with it a very interesting set up for prospective investors. The stock is trading approximately 15% off of its deal price and with the merger set to close in September, there is a clear uncertainty from the market as to whether or not the deal will even close. It's time to unpack that and explore investors' options with this media megadeal. Will The Deal Close? There are two considerations in trying to answer this question: regulatory and financial. We will begin with the latter and examine the full financial considerations. To set the stage, the announcement that Paramount Skydance would be purchasing Warner Brothers Discovery came back on February 27 for $31/share in cash. This followed months of back and forth between Paramount and Netflix ( NFLX ) as to who would actually end up being able to acquire WBD. For our purposes today, it's not worth revisiting that. Since the February 27 announcement, only one major event has occurred: the approval of the acquisition by WBD shareholders. This happened on April 23, just over a week ago. Going forward, the deal is supposed to close in September, specifically September 30. The reason for this is to not prolong the process for either party as it materially affects operations. Interestingly, on this date, a $0.25 per share fee applies if it's not closed by then. This adds approximately 1% to the deal price every day the deal fails to close. That may not seem like much to investors, but that creates a multi-billion dollar financing headwind for Paramount. That $0.25 gets added to the purchase price every day that the deal does not get closed, which creates a large financial incentive for this deal to get done. If Para...
