Crude oil prices are soaring in the aftermath of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. Brent oil, the global benchmark price, is up more than 5% again today, and has risen roughly 15% in the past couple of days. The surge in crude prices has sent oil stocks soaring. ConocoPhillips (COP 0.31%) has popped nearly 8% in the past few days, while Chevron (CVX 0.69%) closed at a record high on Monday at nearly $190 per share. Here are two things investors need to know about the current state of the oil sector before buying oil stocks. All eyes are currently on the Strait of Hormuz The war with Iran has massive implications for the oil sector. The Middle Eastern country is a founding member of OPEC and produces over 3 million barrels of oil per day. Additionally, roughly 20 million barrels of oil per day pass through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, about 20% of global supplies. Iran has long threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for military action against the country. While the U.S. military is working to prevent its closure, the war is having an impact on the flow of oil out of the region. Supertanker rates surged to record highs after Iran attacked several ships. Additionally, insurance companies have canceled war risk coverage. These surging costs will likely prevent companies from taking the risk of transporting oil out of the region until things calm down. If there's a prolonged period where oil doesn't freely flow out of the Persian Gulf, it could cause oil prices to continue rising, potentially to more than $100 per barrel. U.S producers have the capacity to ramp up, but it will take time The oil price spike has taken most of the oil industry by surprise. The U.S. Energy Information Administration initially predicted that Brent oil would average around $66 per barrel this year, driven by tepid demand and higher global inventory levels. As a result, most U.S. oil companies planned to keep a tight lid on capital spending, aiming to invest just ...
After rocketing to highs nearing $3.50 last year, XRP (XRP 2.68%) has fallen below $1.50 as Bitcoin and the broader crypto market slide. Investors may be wondering if they should jump in and buy the dip. But the current sell-off might not be the real concern for XRP holders; it's possible the dip isn't a dip at all, but a new normal.

After rocketing to highs nearing $3.50 last year, XRP (XRP 2.68%) has fallen below $1.50 as Bitcoin and the broader crypto market slide. Investors may be wondering if they should jump in and buy the dip. But the current sell-off might not be the real concern for XRP holders; it's possible the dip isn't a dip at all, but a new normal. So, where might XRP be a year from now? To answer that, we have to look at Ripple, the company behind the token, and its pivot toward stablecoins. Expand CRYPTO : XRP XRP Today's Change ( -2.68 %) $ -0.04 Current Price $ 1.36 Key Data Points Market Cap $83B Day's Range $ 1.34 - $ 1.40 52wk Range $ 1.14 - $ 3.65 Volume 3.1B Ripple is all-in on stablecoins Ripple has spent the past year and change repositioning itself as a stablecoin infrastructure company. Its website now leads with "integrate stablecoin payments into your business." It acquired stablecoin payments company Rail for $200 million. And it launched RLUSD, its own dollar-backed stablecoin, which it's aggressively pushing into the cross-border payments market. This isn't happening in a vacuum. The Genius Act provided stablecoins with real regulatory clarity, and Ripple is building to capitalize on it. RLUSD can function as a bridge asset within Ripple's cross-border payment products. That might sound tangential to what we're discussing -- XRP's value -- but it very much is not. It's critically important because XRP has always been the key bridge asset in Ripple's cross-border payment system. RLUSD's adoption cannibalizes XRP's "market share" within its own ecosystem. Why RLUSD complicates XRP's bull case XRP's investment thesis has always rested on the idea that growing adoption of Ripple's products would drive demand for the token. That argument was already shaky. Institutions that use XRP for cross-border payments convert in and out of XRP nearly instantly -- every buy order is matched with an immediate sell order, creating little lasting demand pressure. Now layer RLUSD on ...

Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel , in trading on Tuesday, shares of Royalty Pharma plc (Symbol: RPRX) were yielding above the 2% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $0.94), with the stock changing hands as low as $46.44 on the day. Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return. To illustrate, suppose for example you purchased shares of the iShares Russell 3000 ETF (IWV) back on 5/31/2000 — you would have paid $78.27 per share. Fast forward to 5/31/2012 and each share was worth $77.79 on that date, a loss of $0.48 or 0.6% decrease over twelve years. But now consider that you collected a whopping $10.77 per share in dividends over the same period, increasing your return to 13.15%. Even with dividends reinvested, that only amounts to an average annual total return of about 1.0%; so by comparison collecting a yield above 2% would appear considerably attractive if that yield is sustainable. Royalty Pharma plc (Symbol: RPRX) is a member of the Russell 3000, giving it special status as one of the largest 3000 companies on the U.S. stock markets. In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Royalty Pharma plc, looking at the history chart for RPRX below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 2% annual yield.

Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return. To illustrate, suppose for example you purchased shares of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) back on 12/31/1999 — you would have paid $146.88 per share. Fast forward to 12/31/2012 and each share was worth $142.41 on that date, a decrease of $4.67/share over all those years. But now consider that you collected a whopping $25.98 per share in dividends over the same period, for a positive total return of 23.36%. Even with dividends reinvested, that only amounts to an average annual total return of about 1.6%; so by comparison collecting a yield above 3% would appear considerably attractive if that yield is sustainable.

Key Points IVV is much cheaper to own than IWM and offers a slightly higher yield. IWM focuses on small-cap stocks, while IVV tracks large-cap U.S. companies with a heavy tilt to technology. IVV has delivered stronger risk-adjusted returns and a smaller drawdown over the past five years. 10 stocks we like better than iShares Core S&P 500 ETF › The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT:IVV) stands out for its ultra-low expense ratio and large-cap technology exposure, while the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSEMKT:IWM) targets small-cap stocks with higher volatility and costs. IWM and IVV are both broad-based U.S. equity ETFs from iShares, but they serve different roles. IWM captures the performance of nearly 2,000 small-cap companies, while IVV tracks the S&P 500’s largest U.S. firms. This comparison highlights how their costs, returns, risks, and sector makeup differ. Snapshot (cost & size) Metric IWM IVV Issuer IShares IShares Expense ratio 0.19% 0.03% 1-yr return (as of 2026-02-27) 23.1% 17.3% Dividend yield 1.0% 1.2% Beta 1.30 1.00 AUM $74.0 billion $750.7 billion Beta measures price volatility relative to the S&P 500; beta is calculated from five-year monthly returns. The 1-yr return represents total return over the trailing 12 months. IVV is considerably more affordable, charging just 0.03% in expenses compared to IWM’s 0.19%, and it also offers a modestly higher dividend yield at 1.2% versus 1.0%. Performance & risk comparison Metric IWM IVV Max drawdown (5 y) -31.91% -24.53% Growth of $1,000 over 5 years $1,156 $1,763 What's inside IVV tracks the S&P 500, providing exposure to 503 large-cap U.S. stocks with a strong tilt toward technology (34%), followed by financial services and communication services. Its top holdings — Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) — make up a significant share of the portfolio. With nearly 26 years of history and no notable quirks, it is a long-standing, straightforward vehicle for large-cap exposure. By ...

Klaus Vedfelt/DigitalVision via Getty Images In May last year , I had issued a Buy rating on the WisdomTree Efficient Gold Plus Equity Strategy Fund ETF ( GDE ) at a time when equity was under pressure and gold was strong but still prominently a hedge—not an asset class I was chasing. The timing turned out to be extremely good, as equity markets saw a strong rally subsequently, and later gold joined in with a rally of once-in-a-decade proportions. Since the time of the Buy, it is actually gold that has driven returns with close to 60% returns, while equities have started consolidating (although after a bull run of its own), contributing ~17.5% returns. GDE's total returns of ~69% are an unprecedented run in more ways than one. First, the returns itself are the highest annualized returns run rate since inception. The nearest return performance was seen in mid-2024, but that was equally supported by gold and a very strong equity bull run. The second aspect of what makes this GDE run unprecedented and rare is that gold has taken the lead. My outlook for GDE remains reasonably strong ahead, but returns will moderate from here. Again, GDE, in my view, is a portfolio stabilizer that does not chase growth directly but provides a hedged and diversified exposure that comes along with risk-adjusted growth. From that perspective, its role has changed. I view GDE as a strong Hold given the macro and geopolitical scenario and the stage we are in in the equity markets. This downgrade is to imply normalized returns ahead, which means it remains a strong Hold for existing investors. Chasing fresh entries now may not be the best idea because the risk-reward balance as a stabilizer is now strong but challenged. Data by YCharts Data by YCharts Reversing Roles and New Avatar GDE's primary objective is equities as the aggressor with gold as the defender. Generally, the defender does deliver growth too, but in periods of equity weakness. That aspect of the setup was already altered when ...

Lin Bin , the billionaire co-founder of Chinese consumer electronics company Xiaomi , has reached an agreement to buy a 1% stake in the Miami Dolphins at a $12.5 billion valuation, according to people familiar with the matter. Lin’s 1% stake in the holding company that owns the Dolphins would also include assets like the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix and Hard Rock Stadium, the largest stadium venue in South Florida. The Dolphins’ majority owner is billionaire developer Stephen Ross , who acquired the team in 2009. Ross, whose net worth is $15 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index , is the developer behind New York’s Hudson Yards. He’s shifted his focus to Palm Beach County, Florida, where he moved full time during the pandemic. Sports franchise valuations have skyrocketed in recent years. At an event in January, Ross said he’d been offered as much as $15 billion for the team. The real estate developer sold minority stakes totaling 13% in the Dolphins in 2024 at a valuation of about $8 billion. “I don’t think there’s a better asset,” Ross said, saying that he plans to keep majority ownership in his family. Lin’s stake in the Dolphins will have to pass through the NFL’s approval process where at least 24 owners must green light the deal. The league’s next scheduled meeting is in Phoenix at the end of the month. The NFL, Dolphins and representatives for Lin did not immediately respond to request for comment. Sportico first reported Lin Bin’s stake acquisition. Lin has a fortune of $11.9 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire’s Index. He’s the vice chairman of Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi and previously held roles at Microsoft and Google.
