koyu/iStock via Getty Images I previously reiterated Core Scientific ( CORZ ) as a Buy in March 2026, attributed to their likely to be significant margin expansion and top line growth from FQ1'26 onwards. In this article, I shall discuss why I am downgrading CORZ to a Hold, attributed to the overly done rally from the March 2026 bottom. CORZ Proves Their AI Beneficiary Status CORZ 1Y Stock Price (Trading View) Since my last Buy rating, CORZ has indeed outperformed with a +51.5% rally compared to the wider market at +8.3%, with a similar breakout also observed in its hyperscaler/neocloud peers in varying degrees. 1. Bitcoin Mining Pivot To HPC Much of their tailwinds are attributed to numerous market leaders reiterating the durable, multi-year cloud spending trends in the Q1'26 earnings season, with it naturally buoying AI infrastructure players such as CORZ. It goes without saying that AI growth hinges on the availability of reliable power, with market analysts already expecting the data center power demand to grow by " almost double by 2030. " Here is where CORZ has proven their AI beneficiary status, as the management seeks to pivot much of their bitcoin mining operations to HPC, with only "one or potentially two sites operating Bitcoin mining" by the end of this year. This is on top of their brilliant reversal from the prior bankruptcy in 2022 , attributed to "slumping bitcoin prices, rising energy costs for bitcoin mining, and a $7 million unpaid debt from U.S. crypto lender Celsius Network, one of its biggest customers." CORZ's Expanding Capacity (CORZ) Beyond the ~590 MW of power already contracted to CoreWeave ( CRWV ) and the 1.1 GW of current leasable power capacity, CORZ is also looking to expand their power pipeline to 3 GW, "supported by grid expansion, the Polaris acquisition, and behind-the-meter solutions," allowing them to drive expanded HPC monetization opportunities. This is significantly aided by the ongoing tenant diversification beyond CRWV, bas...

A stoppage-time eruption and a crying Manolo González means the Catalan club’s long-awaited victory changes everything After 143 days and many more sleepless nights Manolo González was liberated, if only for a little while. In the 92nd minute of the 19th game of 2026, something amazing happened: Espanyol won and Espanyol went wild. A goal up against Athletic Club, a late Gorka Guruzeta header had shaken them more than the post it hit, a familiar fatalism refusing to leave, and they were desperately hanging on to what they had now and had lost too many times before, whistling for this suffering to finally end, when at last they could let go. “You have to be strong in life but, bloody hell, we all have limits,” González said, and they had reached theirs but now, on a Wednesday evening in May, they were released. Ramon Terrats, a boyhood Espanyol, nodded the ball on. Kike García, the only member of the squad born in the 80s and a man with a bit of the 80s about him, a 36-year-old, 6ft 1in, 12-stone striker they call the “labourer of goals”, a sub who had only been out there six minutes, ran on to it. Keeping his head, he guided a shot past Unai Simón so everyone else could lose theirs. The clock said 91.06. The scoreboard said 2-0. The table said: 14th, 42 points, 11 wins. And 29,943 people said: argrhjrfujhk n gsafkjhfskljdzrogjdgixjkgjhlkbxcfh . As for González, he broke down and cried. Continue reading...

There are so many causes here that aren’t up to him, writes advice columnist Eleanor Gordon-Smith . Rather than trying to change him, change the goal Read more Leading questions I am in a relationship with a lovely man who I first dated when we were 19 and 20 years old respectively. Now in our mid-50s , we have been together for three years. We laugh a lot and enjoy doing lots of things together – his enthusiasm for travel matches mine. The issue is he sleeps a lot – at least 10 hours a night but could be 12 hours. He could easily stay in bed until 1pm on any day off. This means when we are on one of our frequent trips away, we rarely get to do things together in the morning – a time I love. I’ve addressed it with him and he sometimes makes the effort, but then reverts back. We don’t live together and only see each other one day a week, so time is precious and I often end up waiting around for him to get up. Continue reading...

(Ourness) Seething with righteous anger and moshpit-ready tracks, the Australian artist’s genre-hopping but cohesive LP makes a case for the durability of the form Last September, Genesis Owusu road-tested material from his then-untitled third album at three intimate gigs at Sydney Opera House. Performing in the round for adoring fans, he radiated the confidence of an artist sharing music he deeply believes in. What made the new songs so arresting were the contrasts – snarling punk intermingling with neosoul and dexterous hip-hop – all grounded in Kofi Owusu-Ansah’s magnetic charisma. Even then, months before the album’s release, it was clear the next era of the Ghanaian Australian artist would be something special. Now titled Redstar Wu & the Worldwide Scourge, Genesis Owusu’s third album arrives with significant expectation after its predecessors – 2021’s Smiling With No Teeth and 2023’s Struggler – rode waves of acclaim and went on to win the Aria album of the year. Following the dense symbolism of those records, with their vivid imagery of black dogs and the unkillable roach, Genesis Owusu has made clear his latest exists “very much on planet Earth in the 2020s”.

With the release of Michael and not one but four Beatles feature films under way, I am once again calling for a moratorium on these films (with one exception) In the last few weeks, there has been a lot of discussion around the new Michael Jackson biopic. It is a film that has seen huge success at the box office, while receiving mixed (mostly negative) reviews. It has been skewered as a shallow film , more like a well-performed playlist of Michael Jackson songs than a deep dive into his complicated story. The movie also ends in 1988, a seemingly deliberate choice to avoid having to reckon with the darker aspects of his life that followed. Rebecca Shaw is a writer based in Sydney Continue reading...

Yongyuan Dai/DigitalVision via Getty Images Winners & Losers of REIT Earnings Season In Part 1 of our Earnings Recap, we highlighted the Winners of REIT Earnings Season and the key takeaways from roughly 200 reports across equity REITs, mortgage REITs, and homebuilders over the past six weeks. In Part 2, now turn to the laggards - including outright disappointments and in-line performers that failed to keep pace with the broader REIT rally. Hoya Capital As noted Part 1, overall REIT earnings results were considerably better than consensus expectations and delivered a notably cleaner reporting period than several recent quarters, with fewer high-profile disappointments and a broader mix of upside surprises across sectors and market-cap tiers. Of the 98 equity REITs that provided full-year FFO guidance, 58 REITs - or 59% - raised their outlooks, considerably above the typical first-quarter raise rate of roughly 40-45%, while 36 REITs - or 37% - maintained guidance, and just 4 REITs - or 4% - lowered guidance. Since the start of earnings season, the Equity REIT Index is higher by 4.1%, outpacing the 3.9% gain from the S&P 500 . While there were few outright bombshells, this earnings season produced a handful of laggards, with disappointments clustered in Lab Space, Commercial Mortgage, Residential Mortgage, Self-Storage, and Farmland REITs. Hoya Capital Lab Space remained the clearest downside standout, as Alexandria’s results reinforced a delayed recovery timeline, with soft leasing demand, declining occupancy, negative cash rent spreads, and another wave of expected 2027 move-outs pushing the earnings trough further into the future. Commercial Mortgage REITs also remained under pressure, with credit stress still concentrated in multifamily bridge loans, office exposure, and impaired transitional loans, prompting continued book value erosion, elevated credit-loss provisions, and another dividend reset from Arbor. Residential Mortgage REITs were broadly in line from an...

Russia Sends Over 1500 Missiles, Drones On Ukraine In 48 Hours After V-Day Ceasefire Soon on the heels of the successful 3-day and US-backed 'V-Day' ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, Russian forces have unleashed several days of drone and missile barrages on Ukrainian cities, especially the capital. It seems the Kremlin is bent on 'payback' for several weeks of effective Ukrainian long-range drone attacks which have badly damaged several Russian oil refineries and energy sites. BBC reports Thursday that " At least seven people have been killed , including a 12-year-old girl, in Kyiv after Russia launched a massive wave of drone and missile strikes on the Ukrainian capital and other regions, officials have said." The death toll is expected to rise given bodies are still being pulled from under the rubble of a destroyed apartment building in Kiev, while local emergency agencies say at least 20 people are feared missing . Dozens more were wounded in the attack, with at least 21 initially being transported to the hospital. via Associated Press Thursday marks the third day in a row Ukraine has witnessed deaths from the now unrelenting drone attacks, which followed the last day of the ceasefire, which expired on Monday . President Zelensky later announced that the military tallied that Russia sent more than 670 drones and 56 missiles targeting the country overnight. This ranks it as among the largest aerial assaults since the war started in 2022. Zelensky stated that the strikes hit at least 180 sites across Ukraine, including over 50 residential buildings , but also claimed an "overall interception rate" of 93%. He additionally added a 48-hour tally : "In total, since midnight yesterday, Russia has used more than 1,560 drones against our cities and communities ," he said on X. "These are definitely not the actions of those who believe the war is coming to an end," he added, referring to Putin's Saturday speech wherein he hinted a the 'end' of the special military ope...

Morgan Stanley analyst notes that gross merchandise sales (GMS) and revenue should improve in the second half of the year. - Viking Holdings (VIK) shares are rallying after the cruise-line operator reported first-quarter yields above estimates. Analysts cited “impressive” 2027 bookings and executive management changes that helped remove an overhang. - Watches of Switzerland (WOSGF) shares are higher and are trading at the highest since early 2024, after the watch retailer said annual adjusted Ebit will be ahead of its previous guidance.

brebca/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction The American manufacturing industry is seeing signs of a much-awaited rebound, with the ISM Manufacturing PMI in expansion territory since the start of the year. The causes are known: manufacturing reshoring has become a geopolitical need, and the data center buildout is driving the charge. Data by YCharts About a year ago, I wrote one of my most successful articles on Seeking Alpha, where I compared Caterpillar Vs. Deere, saying that the former was going to deliver higher returns than the latter. Below, you see how the call played out, with Caterpillar now considered an AI stock as it is the leader in power generators. Deere, on the other hand, lagged behind, although it was able to deliver returns more or less at par with the market. As a result, I have held a neutral rating on the stock. Data by YCharts In a few days, Deere will report earnings, and I would like to share what I will be considering to see whether my rating still holds or not. Let me warn you right away: Deere has been a stock that has recently traded up after poor earnings because investors were excited about any news hinting that a trough might have been reached. This has gradually inflated Deere's multiples as investors expect a turnaround to come. So, grounding an analysis based on the fundamentals might not lead to the most lucrative short-term decision, especially when we consider the stock's volatility around earnings. Deere's Q2 FY26 Earnings Preview When Deere reported its last quarterly results , revenues were up 13% YoY to $9.6B, with $8B coming from equipment sales, and the EPS came in at $2.42, 27% above the consensus. The stock was up by over 13% on that day. However, looking beneath the surface, we saw that the company's net income was down 25% YoY with production and precision agriculture (PPA) reporting operating profits of only $139M, a 59% YoY decline that led to 4.4% margins. The causes were identified as the impact of tariff...

Bitcoin climbed past $80,000 after the Senate Banking Committee advanced a landmark US digital asset market structure bill after months of negotiations. The so-called Clarity Act would establish the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as the primary regulator for large parts of the crypto industry while the Securities and Exchange Commission would retain authority to oversee digital securities. The bill now heads to the Senate floor, where lawmakers will need to combine it with another version from the Agriculture Committee, which has jurisdiction over the CFTC. The bill advanced following a 15-to-9 vote. Read more: Long-Stalled Crypto Bill Wins Key Senate Committee Vote The largest digital asset had been locked in a relatively narrow trading range even as lawmakers moved ahead on the long-delayed legislation. At the same time, JPMorgan Chase & Co. is expanding its tokenized finance efforts. Charles Schwab Corp. is widening access to spot-Bitcoin and Ether trading. Large financial groups continue to back new crypto infrastructure bets. “There is still a lot of uncertainty about whether it will pass the full Senate, but this is still good news,” said Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak + Co. “Bitcoin has been bumping up against its 200-day moving average for two weeks now. So, if it can finally break above that line in any meaningful way, it will likely see the kind of breakout move that will shoot it considerably higher over the coming weeks.” The disconnect may reflect less a lack of enthusiasm than a shift in how investors express optimism about the sector. The more revealing signal is not in the spot market, but in derivatives, where traders appear unconvinced that any of this amounts to an immediate catalyst for Bitcoin itself. Short-dated Bitcoin options were trading near their lowest implied volatility levels of the year, according to crypto analytics firm Block Scholes, suggesting little appetite to pay for protection against sharp price swin...
