Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) , global streaming TV and film platform, closed Tuesday at $97.7, up 0.63%. The stock’s move reflects continued enthusiasm following bullish analyst calls and optimism after Netflix walked away from a Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) deal. Investors are also watching whether advertising and organic growth can sustain recent gains. Trading volume reached 55.9 million shares, coming in nearly 8.6% above its three-month average of 51.5 million shares. Netflix IPO'd in 2002 and has grown 81,562% since going public. S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) fell 0.95% to 6,817, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) slipped 1.02% to 22,517 as growth shares broadly cooled. Within entertainment, industry peers Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) closed at $103.3 (-0.99%) and Warner Bros. Discovery finished at $28.2 (-1.05%), lagging Netflix’s modest gain. Netflix stock bounced even among a sea of red in the markets today. A five-day rally has lifted the streaming service stock nearly 25%. That rally came after investors anticipated, and received confirmation, that Netflix was walking away from its proposal to acquire much of Warner Bros. Discovery. Continue reading

Sunderland departed West Yorkshire 13 months ago on a snowy February night with their hopes of automatic promotion from the Championship seemingly in tatters. Leeds had come from behind to clinch a 95th-minute victory that took them top of the second tier and only the most optimistic visiting fans expected a rematch this season. Fast-forward to a balmy March evening though and Régis Le Bris’s well executed game-plan lifted Sunderland to the 40-point mark and 11th place in the Premier League. Who, last February, could seriously have imagined that the eventual playoff winners would be four places and nine points ahead of Daniel Farke’s team today? An injury-hit Sunderland arrived very much in containment mode. Le Bris’s players duly devoted the first half to protecting their debutant goalkeeper, Melker Ellborg, and frustrating Leeds fans in equal measure. The 22-year-old Ellborg, a £3m, 22-year-old, arrival from Malmö in January, was deputising for the hamstrung Robin Roefs. His teammates happily ceded plenty of possession to Leeds but their off the ball positioning was so suffocating that bar expertly turning an Anton Stach free-kick around a post, Mellborg had relatively little to do. Enzo Le Fée is Sunderland’s brightest creative talent but, with the left sided midfielder’s evening spent largely in industrious tracking-back mode rather than picking defence bisecting passes, the Leeds goalkeeper, Karl Darlow, was even less involved than his Swedish counterpart. When Ellborg collapsed, clutching a hamstring, following a fairly innocuous looking collision with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and required lengthy treatment, Elland Road regulars became seriously annoyed. With the visiting players taking drinks and clustering around Le Bris their boos – not to mention chants of “What the fuck is going on” – suggested that time-wasting was suspected. Like Farke, Sunderland’s manager had arranged his side in a 3-4-2-1 formation. With the excellent Dan Ballard directing operations fr...

(RTTNews) - United Airlines [UAL] flight 2127 from Los Angeles to Newark was forced to make an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, carrying 256 passengers and 12 crew members, had to turn back after the pilots received a fire alert on one of the aircraft's two engines shortly after takeoff. The crew shut down the affected engine, but continued to receive fire indications. As a precaution, the pilots decided to evacuate the aircraft after landing safely on a taxiway at LAX. Passengers exited the plane using emergency slides and mobile stairs, leaving their belongings behind. No injuries were reported. The passengers were transported to the terminal and later accommodated on another flight to Newark Liberty International Airport.

Make better investment decisions with Simply Wall St's easy, visual tools that give you a competitive edge. Meta Platforms (NasdaqGS:META) has entered a major AI hardware supply agreement with AMD and expanded its collaborations with Nvidia and Google. The company is testing an AI driven shopping feature aimed at changing how users discover products across its platforms.

Recent shorter term performance has been mixed, with the shares up 2.6% over the past week, a 8.8% decline over the past month, and a 0.5% return year to date.

For investors, the combination of hardware partnerships, consumer facing AI experiments and legal action around scams highlights several different levers that could influence how the NasdaqGS:META equity story develops.

peshkov/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis I reiterate my buy recommendation on assets that track the main hard assets, although I'm downgrading my buy recommendation on leveraged oil ETFs. This article is part of a weekly series starting January 6, 2026, where I bring valuable commodity insights to Seeking Alpha readers. In this week's edition, it is impossible not to talk about oil, as the armed conflict between the United States and Iran causes the price of the commodity to soar. My intention is to address recent events, the implications for the stock market, and how investors should position themselves at this moment. Context The month of February ended with oil prices rising due to expectations that the Trump administration would attack the Iranian regime. Expectations were confirmed, and on Saturday, the attacks began. Subsequently, Iran carried out several retaliations, including bombing one of Saudi Arabia's largest oil refineries . Result? The price of crude oil has soared. Crude Oil Futures (SA) In this sense, shares of oil companies soared at the opening of the market; on the other hand, the cost of navigation, especially for oil ships, soared. Therefore, if you own shares in companies that depend on these costs, it is worth rethinking your investment allocation. Cost of hiring a ship soar (Bloomberg) But what is actually at stake? As I described in detail in another article, Iran has significant oil production, more than 3.3 million barrels per day. The detail is that more than 80% of these exports go to China, so the Chinese are extremely interested in ending this conflict. Another point is the geographical issue, since the conflict could affect the Strait of Hormuz, through which oil exports pass not only from Iran but also from other countries in the Middle East. There are more than 21 million barrels of oil per day, 76% of which goes to Asia. Strait Of Hormuz (US Energy Information) The major implications for the stock market will depend on th...

Domino's (DPZ) posted mixed fourth quarter and fiscal 2025 results as the chain doubles down on growing sales, store count, and profits while consumers home in on value. The pizza chain posted revenue of $1.54 billion for the fiscal fourth quarter on Monday morning. That was up 6.4% year over year and a tick above the $1.52 billion Wall Street forecast, per Bloomberg consensus data. The bump was driven by higher order volumes and an increase in the company's food basket pricing to stores. Adjusted earnings came in at $5.35 per share, just below estimates of $5.37. CEO Russell Weiner said the chain's "MORE strategy" delivered higher sales and profits. He said in the release, "These strong results flowed through to increased franchisee profits, showcasing our ability to drive store level profitability while providing incredible value for our customers." US same-store sales grew 3.7%, above the 3.3% jump forecast, while international stores of 0.7% were lower than the expected 1.1% tick up. Shares in Domino's rose over 5% at market open Monday, as investors assessed its revenue growth. The stock is down 12% over the past year, compared with the S&P 500's (^GSPC) 15% gain. For the fiscal year, revenue came in at $4.9 billion, alongside adjusted earnings of $17.57. Same-store sales for US stores grew 3%, more than the 2.85% forecast. For the year, international stores' same-store sales growth missed expectations, rising 1.9% versus the estimated 2.14%. In 2025, the company added 776 stores, slightly more than the Street anticipated, bringing the total to 22,142 globally. For the current year, Domino's said it expects US same-store sales to grow 3% and for international sales to be up between 1% to 2%. The company also expects growth from third-party platforms, such as DoorDash and Uber. "We expect our share on DoorDash to grow as awareness and marketing spend increases. This opportunity is meaningful, as we have not yet reached our fair share on either of the major aggre...

Paramount Skydance's $111 billion purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has a notable supporter in Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr. The FCC boss told CNBC today that the Paramount/WBD combination "is a lot cleaner" than the now-defunct Netflix deal to buy WBD. Netflix "would have had a very difficult path forward from a regulatory perspective" because of "the scope and scale" of the streaming service that would have been created by combining Netflix with WBD property HBO Max, Carr said. There were "a lot of concerns in DC" about Netflix buying the company, he said. Netflix backed out of its deal with Warner Bros. instead of matching the Paramount offer. Although Paramount plans to merge its own Paramount+ streaming service with HBO Max, Carr said the Paramount/WBD merger "does not raise at all the same types of concerns [as Netflix]. I think there's some real consumer benefits that could emerge from it." Read full article Comments

中東局勢|伊朗封霍爾木茲海峽 特朗普:不排除派軍艦護航 To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 【有線新聞】伊朗對開霍爾木茲海峽處於近乎停航,革命衛隊聲稱完全控制海峽,美軍則指炸毀17艘伊朗艦艇。美國總統特朗普不排除派軍艦為通過的船隻護航。 美軍中央司令部在交代針對伊朗的「史詩之怒」行動片段中提到,已摧毀整支伊朗海軍,出動導彈驅逐艦等炸毀17艘伊朗艦艇,包括一艘核潛艇。中央司令部司令庫珀重申已沒有伊朗船隻可以駛過霍爾木茲海峽、阿拉伯灣或阿曼灣。 不過伊朗革命衛隊聲稱,霍爾木茲海峽完全受海軍控制,十多艘油輪無視警告通過被海軍炸毀。根據標普全球的數據顯示,周一只有零星數艘船通過海峽,包括兩艘運載原油和化學品的貨輪,較衝突前平均每天60艘大減逾96%。 總統特朗普發文,下令國際金融開發公司以合理價格為途經波斯灣的商船,特別是運載能源的貨船提供保險及財務保障,如有需要可以盡快派海軍軍艦,為通過霍爾木茲海峽的運油輪護航,重申美國致力保障全球能源供應自由。 霍爾木茲海峽被封鎖,導致油價及天然氣價格上升。特朗普在白宮回應記者提問時承認連日行動短期內會推高油價,但相信行動結束後油價會回落,甚至低過以往水平。

April Nymex natural gas (NGJ26) on Tuesday closed up by +0.094 (+3.18%). April nat-gas prices settled sharply higher on Tuesday on the outlook for increased demand for US nat-gas supplies. On Monday, Qatar shut its Ras Laffan plant, the world's largest natural gas export facility, after it was targeted by an Iranian drone attack. The Ras Laffan plant accounts for about 20% of global liquefied natural gas supply, and its closure could boost US nat-gas exports. Nat-gas prices also had carryover support from Tuesday's +22% surge in European nat-gas prices to a 3-year high. Don’t Miss a Day: Nat-gas prices extended their gains on Tuesday when updated weather forecasts called for colder US temperatures, potentially boosting heating demand for nat-gas. The Commodity Weather Group said Tuesday that forecasts shifted colder across the US through March 12, although the eastern half of the country will still be above normal. US (lower-48) dry gas production on Tuesday was 112.8 bcf/day (+4.9% y/y), according to BNEF. Lower-48 state gas demand on Tuesday was 86.3 bcf/day (-5.6% y/y), according to BNEF. Estimated LNG net flows to US LNG export terminals on Tuesday were 19.6 bcf/day (+1.3% w/w), according to BNEF. Projections for higher US nat-gas production are bearish for prices. On February 17, the EIA raised its forecast for 2026 US dry nat-gas production to 109.97 bcf/day from last month's estimate of 108.82 bcf/day. US nat-gas production is currently near a record high, with active US nat-gas rigs posting a 2.5-year high last Friday. Natural gas prices surged to a 3-year high on January 28, driven by the massive storm that disrupted the US with Arctic cold weather. The well below normal temperatures caused freeze-ups in gas wells, disrupted production in Texas and elsewhere, and drove a spike in demand for natural gas for heating. About 50 billion cubic feet of natural gas came offline, or about 15% of total US natural gas production, due to freeze-ups. As a negative facto...

(RTTNews) - Blackstone [BX] President Jon Gray defended the credit quality of the firm's flagship private credit fund, BCRED, after investors withdrew nearly 8% from the fund in the last quarter. The alternative asset management company stated in a late Monday filing that it allowed 7.9% of BCRED investors, which it calls the largest private credit fund in the world with around $82 billion invested, to withdraw their funds. Blackstone facilitated this in part by having the firm's own investors contribute $150 million into the fund. Recent moves by alternative asset managers to allow investors to cash out of funds have added to jitters around private credit and loans to the software industry. Last month, Blue Owl said it found buyers for $1.4 billion of its loans, in part to help cash out 30% of an embattled credit fund. Now, with the larger Blackstone being swept up in this trend, concerns around private credit seem to be broadening. Gray acknowledged that there is "a constant spin cycle" of concerns in the market, which can make investors and financial advisors nervous and trigger redemptions. However, he noted that loans to software firms, which make up the single biggest exposure for BCRED at around 25% of the fund, will be difficult to dislodge despite the impact of AI in the coming years.

Track your investments for FREE with Simply Wall St, the portfolio command center trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. Applied Digital (NasdaqGS:APLD) has launched a secured notes offering of about $2.15b to fund a large scale AI data center project. Nvidia has fully exited its equity stake in Applied Digital around the same time, removing a high profile technology backer from the share register. The combination of significant new debt funding and the departure of a major investor is drawing fresh attention to the company’s growth plans and risk profile. Applied Digital comes into this news after a very large share price move over the past year, with a 1 year return of 306% and a current share price of $27.93. The multi year performance has been even stronger in percentage terms, although recent trading has been weaker, with a 7% decline over the past week and a 17.6% decline over the past month. For you as an investor, the $2.15b funding plan and Nvidia’s exit mark an important junction for NasdaqGS:APLD, especially given its heavy focus on a relatively small customer base.

Key Points I lived through the dot.com bubble and found the experience very enlightening. With quantum computing likely to be a huge opportunity, I'm still hedging my bets. 10 stocks we like better than International Business Machines › The internet has dramatically changed the world, and that change has occurred entirely in my lifetime. However, the dot-com bubble at the turn of the century should be a strong warning to investors, as newer, potentially more impactful technologies continue to emerge. This is why my quantum computing pick in 2026 is a bit on the boring side. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » I bought into the quantum story years ago The truth is that I've owned my big quantum play for about a decade. It was a legitimate factor in my decision to invest in International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM), but when I hit the buy button, quantum was still in its early stages of development. I reasoned at the time that IBM had the resources and technological capabilities to turn quantum into a real business at some point in the distant future. I didn't expect quantum to become a hot topic on Wall Street within a decade when I added IBM to my portfolio. And, in truth, the real driver of the company's results has been its pivot into cloud computing and artificial intelligence. That said, the next big thing could very well be quantum computing, and IBM is likely to be an important player in the space. IBM's diversification and deep pockets are the key IBM's business and stock have both rebounded strongly since I bought shares in 2016, which is nice. However, a deep drawdown, driven by investor fears about AI's impact on the company's business, has tempered my gains. I'm not overly concerned because IBM is a large and diversified business. I expect AI to benefit the company by help...

Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) develops hydrogen fuel cell systems for electric vehicles and equipment. Shares closed at $2.23, up 23.20%. The stock moved higher after Q4 results showed a revenue beat, improving margins, and a CEO transition. Investors are watching execution on the turnaround plan and profitability targets. Trading volume reached 222.8 million shares, coming in about 122% above its three-month average of 100.3 million shares. Plug Power IPO'd in 1999 and has fallen 99% since going public. How the markets moved today The broader market weakened Tuesday, with the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) closing down 0.95% at 6,817, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) fell 1.02% to finish at 22,517. Among hydrogen fuel cell systems peers, Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) closed at $153.01 (-7.83%), while Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ:BLDP) finished at $2.07 (-4.17%), underscoring Plug Power’s outsized rebound. What this means for investors Plug Power’s fourth-quarter results were encouraging. The hydrogen production and fuel cell company beat estimates with 17.6% year-over-year revenue growth and a smaller loss than expected. It’s getting to be crunch time for Plug Power investors. New CEO Jose Luis Crespo said the company aims to reach positive EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) by the fourth quarter. Crespo also assured investors that they could anticipate "positive operating income by the end of 2027, and full profitability by the end of 2028." With shares sinking more than 83% over the last three years, achieving those stated goals may be the only way to fully reverse that trend. Should you buy stock in Plug Power right now?

Iraqi Shiites shout slogans as they carry a portrait of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and wave Iran flags during a protest against US and Israeli attacks on Iran at a bridge leading to Green Zone where the US embassy is located, in Baghdad on February 28, 2026. Several hundred people protested against the US-Israeli strikes on Iran near the US embassy in Baghdad on February 28, AFP journalists said. Ahmad Al-rubaye | Afp | Getty Images As the fighting in the Middle East roars on, cyber experts are increasingly warning of online attacks from Iran on U.S. businesses and infrastructure. "From a timing perspective, it's now or never," said Pavel Gurvich, founder and CEO of cybersecurity startup Tenzai . "In that sense, the danger is meaningfully higher." Gurvich said Iran may have stored capabilities and is waiting for a high-risk moment to launch. Following U.S. and Israeli strikes on the region over the weekend, Iran has stepped up retaliatory strikes, hitting U.S. bases, embassies and major hubs, including Tel Aviv, Doha, and Dubai. The looming threat of an Iran-linked cyberattack poses a critical risk to the U.S. at a time when the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the leading readiness body, is grappling with a partial government shutdown, furloughs, and a management reshuffle that could hinder its ability to counteract an attack.

Syngenta, maker of a controversial pesticide linked to Parkinson’s disease, said on Tuesday that it will stop making its paraquat weed killer by the end of June. The announcement comes as the company is facing several thousand lawsuits brought by people in the US who allege they developed Parkinson’s disease due to their exposure to Syngenta’s paraquat products. The company did not mention the litigation in making the announcement, and did not respond to a request for comment. The company’s announcement cites “significant competition” from generic producers of paraquat and a “less than 1 percent” contribution to the company’s global sales as reasons for exiting the paraquat business. “This decision is about focusing our resources where they deliver the greatest value for our business and our customers,” Mike Hollands, president of Syngenta UK and head of Syngenta’s global production and supply, said in a statement. The company said it “affirms that paraquat is safe when used in line with registered label instructions”, and that paraquat remains “highly effective in controlling weeds”. Michael Okun, chair of neurology at the University of Florida, who has called for a ban on paraquat, called the news a “public health milestone”. “For decades we have warned that certain pesticides increase the risk of Parkinson’s and other serious diseases. This moment proves that advocacy, data and courage can change the trajectory of disease,” Okun said. Paraquat has been used in the US since 1964 as a tool to kill broadleaf weeds and grasses. Though banned in several countries, including throughout Europe, Syngenta’s paraquat-based Gramoxone herbicide brand has remained popular with US farmers for use in growing soybeans, cotton and corn as well as in growing grapes, pistachios, peanuts and many other crops. Syngenta has always maintained that the evidence linking paraquat to Parkinson’s disease is “fragmentary” and “inconclusive”. Numerous scientific studies have found that paraqu...
