Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, on 3/11/26, Regency Centers Corp (Symbol: REG), TFS Financial Corp (Symbol: TFSL), and Principal Financial Group Inc (Symbol: PFG) will all trade ex-dividend for their respective upcoming dividends. Regency Centers Corp will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.755 on 4/1/26, TFS Financial Corp will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.2825 on 3/25/26, and Principal Financial Group Inc will pay its quarterly dividend of $0.80 on 3/27/26. As a percentage of REG's recent stock price of $78.66, this dividend works out to approximately 0.96%, so look for shares of Regency Centers Corp to trade 0.96% lower — all else being equal — when REG shares open for trading on 3/11/26. Similarly, investors should look for TFSL to open 2.03% lower in price and for PFG to open 0.87% lower, all else being equal. Below are dividend history charts for REG, TFSL, and PFG, showing historical dividends prior to the most recent ones declared. Regency Centers Corp (Symbol: REG): TFS Financial Corp (Symbol: TFSL): Principal Financial Group Inc (Symbol: PFG): In general, dividends are not always predictable, following the ups and downs of company profits over time. Therefore, a good first due diligence step in forming an expectation of annual yield going forward, is looking at the history above, for a sense of stability over time. This can help in judging whether the most recent dividends from these companies are likely to continue. If they do continue, the current estimated yields on annualized basis would be 3.84% for Regency Centers Corp, 8.13% for TFS Financial Corp, and 3.47% for Principal Financial Group Inc. In Monday trading, Regency Centers Corp shares are currently down about 0.8%, TFS Financial Corp shares are off about 0.1%, and Principal Financial Group Inc shares are down about 1.3% on the day.

There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on March 3, Whirlpool Corp's Director, Greg Creed, invested $198,828.80 into 3,305 shares of WHR, for a cost per share of $60.16.

In trading on Monday, bargain hunters could buy shares of Whirlpool Corp (Symbol: WHR) and achieve a cost basis 2.5% cheaper than Creed, with shares changing hands as low as $58.65 per share.

The Trade Desk TTD, a prominent name in the digital ad tech space, continues to face pressure with the stock sliding 25.4% over the past three months. This is an uncomfortable drawdown for a company viewed as one of ad tech’s leading players. Price Performance Zacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research However, the company is not alone in the downturn, underscoring the widespread pressure across the digital advertising ecosystem. The Zacks Internet Services industry is also down 7.7% over the same time frame. Moreover, the Zacks Computer & Technology sector and the S&P 500 composite have lost 7.1% and 2.5%, respectively. Looking ahead, the key question for investors is now is whether the recent sell-off represents a buying opportunity? Let’s examine closely to understand what TTD’s slump represents for investors. Multiple Tailwinds Strengthen Long-Term Prospects Even with the recent share-price pressure, several tailwinds continue to support The Trade Desk’s long-term narrative. These include CTV, retail media, AI & Kokai, international growth and supply-chain modernization efforts, including OpenPath. Moreover, The Trade Desk’s strategy revolves around the open Internet, which is where price discovery and competition exist and it continues to expect the open Internet to gain share relative to closed advertising ecosystems. Increasing digital spending in CTV, particularly for premium content and live sports, is a key growth driver. The transition toward biddable CTV is gaining momentum. The benefits of decision-based buying (like greater flexibility, control and performance) compared with traditional programmatic guaranteed or insertion-order models are rendering it the logical choice for advertisers. CTV continues to be one of the company’s fastest-growing channels. In the fourth quarter of 2025, video, which includes CTV, comprised about half of the company’s business. Retail media has emerged as one of the fastest-growing areas in the digit...

Zoox is now mapping the streets of Dallas, Texas, and Phoenix, Arizona, as a precursor to testing its autonomous vehicles in the two Sun Belt cities. The company said on Monday that it had sent a small number of its Toyota Highlander SUVs to each city, where workers will drive them to help Zoox’s autonomous software get the lay of the land. Zoox will afterwards start testing its self-driving system using the SUVs in both cities, before switching to its purpose-built robotaxis. Zoox said the two new markets will help it collect data in areas that are different from the dense metros its vehicles currently operate in. Once the company goes live in Dallas and Phoenix, Zoox will operate in 10 cities in the United States, alongside Atlanta, Austin, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. The company is currently offering free rides in Las Vegas and San Francisco through its early-rider program. Zoox said it has driven more than a million autonomous miles in Las Vegas and San Francisco, and ferried more than 300,000 passengers. The Amazon-owned company is still waiting for federal approval of its purpose-built AV in order to launch a true commercial robotaxi service, as the vehicle does not have a steering wheel or pedals. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last August granted Zoox an exemption from the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards so the company could demonstrate its AVs on public roads, but it is still waiting for further exemptions to operate commercially. Zoox will also need permission from local agencies that oversee ride-hailing operations, like California’s Public Utilities Commission.

As of March 9, 2026, the global technology landscape is defined by one primary bottleneck: memory. While the early years of the artificial intelligence boom focused on the raw processing power of GPUs, the industry has hit what experts call the "Memory Wall." In this new era, Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) has transitioned from a cyclical commodity producer into a mission-critical architect of the AI revolution. Micron stands as the only major U.S.-based manufacturer of DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory), a position that has granted it unique strategic importance amid intensifying geopolitical competition and a global surge in data center investment. With its stock reaching record valuations in early 2026, Micron is no longer just a "chip maker"—it is a foundational pillar of the global AI infrastructure. Historical Background Founded in October 1978 in the unlikely location of a dental office basement in Boise, Idaho, Micron’s origins were humble. Co-founders Ward Parkinson, Joe Parkinson, Dennis Wilson, and Doug Pitman initially operated as a semiconductor design consulting firm. By 1981, they pivoted to manufacturing, producing their first 64K DRAM chips. The company’s history is a testament to survival in one of the world's most brutal industries. Through the 1990s and 2000s, dozens of memory manufacturers went bankrupt or exited the market due to extreme price volatility. Micron survived and scaled through aggressive consolidation, acquiring the memory businesses of Texas Instruments in 1998 and Japan’s Elpida Memory in 2013. These strategic moves left Micron as one of the "Big Three" global DRAM players, alongside South Korea’s Samsung and SK Hynix. Business Model Micron’s business model is centered on the design and manufacture of volatile and non-volatile memory products. As of 2026, its revenue streams are categorized into four primary units: Compute & Networking Business Unit (CNBU): The largest segment, serving data centers, client PCs, and network...

The Group of Seven nations is “not there yet” in terms of organizing a global release of emergency oil inventories in response to the Iran war, according to France, which holds the current presidency. French Finance Minister Roland Lescure was speaking after a virtual meeting to discuss the impact of the Iran war on energy markets. “We agreed on following the situation very closely, we are ready to take all necessary measures including using strategic reserves to stabilize the market,” he said after a virtual meeting of G-7 finance ministers. Brent oil futures pared a surge of as much as 29% earlier on Monday when it emerged that the G-7 would discuss a possible release in their talks on the economic fallout from the conflict. Prices are soaring as producers across the Middle East are forced to cut output and the vital Strait of Hormuz chokepoint is all but halted to tankers. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates, who between them pump about 20% of the world’s oil, have lowered output because the effective closure of Hormuz means there are no longer enough tankers to export their barrels. Stock releases are normally coordinated by the International Energy Agency in Paris. French President Emmanuel Macron said earlier Monday that energy ministers will also meet in Paris on Tuesday on the sidelines of a conference on nuclear power. Coordinated releases of strategic stockpiles have been carried out only five times before, including twice in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Before that, reserves were tapped following supply disruptions in Libya, Hurricane Katrina, and during the first Gulf War. France chaired a virtual meeting with finance ministers from the group to discuss the economic consequences of war. Consumers across the world are already feeling the impact of the disruptions in the Middle East, with long queues forming at filling stations, and a surge in jet-fuel prices pushing up the cost of air tickets.

Suphanat Khumsap/iStock via Getty Images Thesis The investment thesis is simple: Freightos Limited ( CRGO ) operates the leading digital booking platform in a global freight market that remains largely manual and recent disruption in air cargo may accelerate the industry's shift toward digitization. Freightos operates the largest digital booking marketplace for global air cargo and sits squarely at the center of price discovery, routing and booking across global freight markets. Periods of disruption tend to accelerate trends that were inevitable. Geopolitical conflicts, pandemics and other global shocks condense years of technological adoption into shorter timeframes as industries are forced to adapt fast. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, video conferencing existed but was fragmented and largely associated with Skype. Within a few short months of global lockdowns, Zoom emerged as the default platform for remote communication and its name quickly became a verb. The technology was not new, but the disruption caused by the pandemic dramatically accelerated adoption. Global freight may now be facing a similar moment. Despite the size of the industry, most freight bookings are still arranged manually through email, spreadsheets and phone calls between counterparties. When these networks suddenly become unstable and capacity erodes, freight forwarders need real time market visibility. Platforms like WebCargo by Freightos that aggregate airline capacity and provide instant price discovery and booking become exceptionally valuable. Freightos does not own aircraft or cargo capacity. It lives in the digital transaction layer of the freight industry, facilitating price discovery and booking between airlines and freight forwarders. In many ways it functions for freight booking the same way Booking.com does for travel reservations. As disruptions force the industry to move quicker and operate more efficiently, digital platforms that simplify routing, pricing and booking can see fa...

spawns/iStock via Getty Images By Kelvin Wong West Texas ("WTI") crude oil ( CL1:COM ) has continued its relentless bullish move in today’s Asia session, March 9, 2026, where it gapped up and staged an intraday rally of 30% to print a current high of $119.54/barrel, its highest level since June 2022. Thereafter, WTI crude oil gains have been reduced by almost half to around 13% to trade at around $102.90/barrel after a media report highlighted that three of the G-7 countries, including the US, have expressed support for a possible joint release of their respective stockpile of oil reserves. The recent steep rally seen in oil prices - WTI crude oil recorded a weekly gain of 35.6% for the week of March 2, 2026, its best weekly performance since the week of July 30, 1979 (+38.7%) - has been attributed to a rising risk that global oil supplies may face significant shortages to a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz after Iran stated that its military forces are prepared to continue an “intense war” against the US and Israel for at least six months. Here’s the latest potential short-term trajectory (1-3 days) of WTI crude oil from a technical analysis perspective. WTI Crude Oil - Minor bullish acceleration phase remains intact Fig. 1: West Texas Oil CFD minor trend as of 9 Mar 2026 (Source: TradingView) Watch the $102.25 tightened key short-term pivotal support on the West Texas Oil CFD (a proxy of the WTI crude oil futures) to maintain the minor bullish acceleration leg/phase from the February 26, 2026 low. Next intermediate resistances are located at $124.40 and $130.30/132.67 (Fibonacci extension and the important major swing high of March 7, 2022, formed during the onset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine). However, a break and an hourly close below $102.25 negates the bullish tone to kickstart an extended minor corrective decline sequence to expose the next intermediate supports at $92.47 (lower limit of the gap support) and $86.10 (the pullback of the former mino...

Galeanu Mihai/iStock via Getty Images Iran named Mojtaba Khamenei to succeed his slain father, Ali Khamenei, as the country’s supreme leader. The choice sends a signal that the country’s hardliners are still in control of the country and will remain defiant against President Trump’s demand for “unconditional surrender.” With neither side blinking, a quick end to the war, now in its tenth day, still appears elusive. The main macro effect: oil prices on Sunday soared to nearly $120 a barrel for the US benchmark (West Texas Intermediate) before pulling back to just above $100 in early trading on Monday (Mar. 9). The spike marks the first return to triple-digit pricing in four years. Assessing the risk outlook for the global economy boils down to a basic calculus: How long can Iran hold out? The reasonable view: Not long. The combined military might of the US and Israel is vastly superior to Iran’s. But The Islamic Republic is fighting for its survival and is probably reasoning that it has little to gain from acceding to Washington’s demands. Although Iran will surely be transformed when the fighting stops, getting from here to there looks increasingly risky as the regime lashes out in a strategy to inflict maximum damage on the global economy by widening the conflict throughout the Middle East and thereby raising energy prices. The US will almost certainly “win” in the end, but debate rages about the cost of victory and how the current conflict will reshape the Middle East and the politics of energy supplies. Escalating the war won’t improve Iran’s odds of winning per se, but it will increase the pressure for a negotiated settlement in some form if public pressure ramps up in the West to end the fighting as a mechanism to lower energy prices. Among the latest signs of Tehran’s strategy to widen the war, Saudi Arabia reported that its air defenses intercepted a new wave of airstrikes targeting Aramco’s giant Shaybah field. Expect more of these attacks to come. The US is...
