Barney Frank, former U.S. Congressman Adam Jeffery | CNBC Former U.S. Representative Barney Frank , a quick-witted Democrat who gave his name to a landmark financial reform bill after the economic crisis of 2007-2009, has died, his sister Ann Lewis said on Wednesday. He was 86. One of the best-known gay politicians of his time, ⁠Frank served for over 30 years in the U.S. House of Representatives as a member from Massachusetts and a liberal who gladly worked with Republicans. "He's a guy you can sit down and deal with," Republican Representative Tom Cole from Oklahoma said in 2011, when Frank chaired the House Financial Services Committee. Along with then Senator Chris Dodd, Frank spearheaded 2010 legislation that tightened banking regulations and consumer protections to avoid a repeat of the 2007 financial crash and subsequent Great Recession. Known as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the law led to new rules on the previously unregulated off-exchange derivatives ⁠market, ‌and set up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to shield consumers from predatory and abusive ⁠practices. It was regarded as one of the main successes in Congress of Barack Obama's two-term presidency. 'Things would have sucked worse without me' As the financial crisis was unfolding and institutions such as Lehman Brothers investment bank were collapsing, Frank was at the heart of congressional efforts to save the U.S. banking industry and limit the damage to the wider economy. He shepherded the ‌Treasury Department's $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bank bailout through the House in 2008. The bailout stabilized the financial sector, with the government buying stock in eight major banks. By the time it ended in 2013, TARP had earned taxpayers a modest profit of $11 billion as the banks' share prices recovered. But it was criticized by some Democrats for not doing enough to help the crisis-bound housing market and for allowing bankers to receive l...

D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges, left, U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, right, and Michael Fanone, a former D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer, arrive for the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol hearing to present previously unseen material and hear witness testimony in Cannon Building on Thursday, June 9, 2022. Tom Williams | Cq-roll Call, Inc. | Getty Images Two police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot sued President Donald Trump on Wednesday, seeking to block the $1.8 billion "lawfare" fund set up by the Department of Justice to compensate Trump allies who claim they were victims of prosecutorial overreach. "In the most brazen act of presidential corruption this century, President Donald J. Trump has created a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to finance the insurrectionists and paramilitary groups that commit violence in his name," the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C ., says. "The fund, styled the 'Anti-Weaponization Fund,' is illegal," the suit alleges. "No statute authorizes its creation, the settlement on which it is premised is a corrupt sham, and its design violates the Constitution and federal law." The two plaintiffs in the civil complaint are Harry Dunn, a former U.S. Capitol Police officer, and Daniel Hodges, an active officer of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington.

For the second day in a row, Marvell Technology (MRVL +7.45%) stock is moving higher -- and this time, you've got Wall Street to thank for it. Tic-tac-toe, three-in-a-row, Wall Street analysts at Citigroup, Oppenheimer, and Wells Fargo lined up to raise price targets on Marvell stock -- to $215, $200, and $195, respectively. Why Wall Street loves Marvell stock Why are Wall Street banks raising price targets on Marvell stock? Let me count the ways. Citi's mainly playing catch-up here, raising its price targets on semiconductor stocks long after they've already skyrocketed. Yesterday, Citi nearly doubled its price target on Micron (MU +1.57%). Today, it's Marvell's turn, at the PT rises from $118 to $215 (also nearly a double). As for the others, both Oppy and Wells cite Trainium chip sales to Anthropic, Amazon.com (AMZN +1.28%), and others as a major catalyst for Marvell. Oppenheimer forecasts $2 billion in custom chip sales (including Trainium) this year, with sales to Microsoft (MSFT 0.75%) ramping toward the end of the year. Wells points out that Marvell already has $225 billion in Trainium backlog and predicts Trainium sales could reach $6 billion in 2027 and 2028 -- with the potential to double if prices move higher. Oppenheimer forecasts total revenue exceeding $11 billion in 2026 and $15 billion in 2027. Expand NASDAQ : MRVL Marvell Technology Today's Change ( 7.45 %) $ 13.14 Current Price $ 189.41 Key Data Points Market Cap $154B Day's Range $ 182.35 - $ 193.30 52wk Range $ 58.61 - $ 193.30 Volume 575K Avg Vol 25M Gross Margin 50.10 % Dividend Yield 0.14 % What it means for Marvell stock Valued in excess of 57 times trailing earnings (and nearly 46 times forward earnings), Marvell is not a cheap stock -- not at first glance. Even just $11 billion in 2026 sales would mean 34% revenue growth, however, accelerating to 36% growth in 2027 if Marvell hits 2027 -- and Oppenheimer thinks these are conservative numbers. Assuming profits growth can keep pace, Marvell s...

It's difficult to know the true state of the Russian economy, both because the country's financial reporting is sparse and because official figures are unreliable. But things probably aren't great. This week, Sweden's minister of foreign affairs, Maria Malmer Stenergard, shared her country's assessment that the Russian economy has likely contracted over the last five years amid the war in Ukraine. Inflation is also high, and international sanctions have cost Russia $450 billion since the onset of the war in February 2022. Russia's economy is currently smaller than that of Texas, Stenergard said. By most measures, then, the economy is not in tip-top shape. Moreover, the war is draining a large amount of the country's financial resources, with defense spending reaching a post-Soviet record of about 7 percent of government spending.

bgwalker Target ( TGT ) fell in early trading on Wednesday after issuing a cautious outlook on the rest of the year. CEO Michael Fiddelke cited "recent dips in consumer sentiment" and noted the retailer was not wanting to swing too hard too quickly. Meanwhile, CFO James Lee reminded investors that Target ( TGT ) faces a much harder sales comparison in Q2 as it laps the Nintendo Switch launch. BNP Paribas analyst Chris Bottiglieri said Target's ( TGT ) top line beat sell-side consensus but was generally in line with elevated buy-side expectations. He noted that strength was broad-based, including e-commerce and advertising. While margins improved significantly, they lapped one-time headwinds that drove most of the expansion, highlighted Bottiglieri. Looking ahead, the firm thinks the key issue now is where same-store sales trend over the balance of the year as the company moves past easy comparisons and as tax refund benefits fade. "Given the ongoing consumer uncertainty amidst higher gas prices and post-tax refund season, we maintain our underperform rating on the stock given the risk that decelerating sales trends could compress the multiple and limit incremental upside to today's guidance raise," wrote Bank of America analyst Christopher Nardone. "The biggest question for the stock remains how much of the 1Q improvement was driven by early merchandising/strategy wins versus refund benefits," he warned. Oppenheimer viewed the Target ( TGT ) more favorably than the general market. "We think this report should be enough to meet elevated expectations. We remain upbeat on TGT’s turnaround efforts, and today’s report is a clear step in the right direction," updated analyst Rupesh Parikh. "We are now focused on sustainability of comp momentum, which could be necessary to fuel further multiple expansion," he added. Shares of Target ( TGT ) moved 7.2% lower in early action on Wednesday but are still up more than 20% on a year-to-date basis. More on Target Target Q1 2026 Ea...

Bournemouth are facing a race to complete upgrades to the Vitality Stadium to enable it to stage European football next season. Uefa has granted Bournemouth a provisional stadium licence after meeting club officials in April to review their redevelopment project, but improvements are required owing to the limited size of the hospitality areas and broadcasting facilities. A visit from Uefa’s stadium inspection and commercial operations team will take place next month after Bournemouth secured European qualification for the first time courtesy of a 1-1 draw with Manchester City on Tuesday. Club sources said their plan was to use the Vitality for next season’s European fixtures. Bournemouth have submitted plans for a phased expansion that would almost double the 11,286 capacity to more than 20,000, with the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council planning committee due to discuss their proposal on Friday. That meeting, which will focus on the proposed demolition and replacement of the South Stand, was due to take place on 11 May, leading to concern about the potential for further delays. View image in fullscreen Andoni Iraola will leave Bournemouth as a hero after leading them into Europe for the first time in their 127 year history. Photograph: Graham Hunt/ProSports/Shutterstock Bournemouth do not have to increase their capacity to meet Uefa requirements – Bodø/Glimt competed in the Champions League this season with a stadium holding 8,000 spectators – but infrastructure improvements are needed to gain a Uefa category rating. Bournemouth’s planned work this summer includes creating a permanent outside broadcast compound, the installation of new perimeter fencing and turnstiles and resurfacing the pitch. They have been forced to scale back planned building work though. The club had intended to add about 1,500 seats before next season by filling in gaps in all four corners but that figure was reduced to 800, with only the north-west and south-east corners to be comp...

onuma Inthapong/E+ via Getty Images A Less Than Acceptable Return I tend to think that I don’t shy away from writing about the companies that have performed poorly since I’ve covered them. Luckily, there aren’t that many like this I say as I pat myself on the back. But Texas Pacific Land Corporation ( TPL ) is one of them that slipped through. I rated it a Strong Buy on February 22 this year and the stock has fallen some 23% since then, drastically underperforming the S&P 500 during the same period. Arguably, the stock was trading at the highest multiples in its history at the time, but looking at the core thesis here it’s still a Strong Buy in my book. Price Change (Seeking Alpha) With the price now down, and another earnings report out that showed strong growth rates on both the top and bottom line. With the most notable trend being that water sales grew 20.6% YoY. before Bolt could buy a single drop of water to cool their location, they had to legally go to TPL first. It creates a monopoly by “capturing” customers. Because TPL is scaling its desalination facilities, it can turn around and sell recycled water to data centers like Bolt. This creates a closed loop of sorts. I discussed the water monopoly that TPL was creating in my first coverage. In my experience, these types of monopolies and strong business positions deserve a premium valuation. That TPL should trade at the same level as the energy sector makes little sense. It’s now a landlord of sorts with highly recurring revenues at high margins as well. Just last quarter the company reported 60.3% in net margins. There are not many companies in this sector that could say they did the same. I might be stubborn here, but I still see TPL as a Strong Buy, especially considering the Bolt investment and how that could snowball into more in the future. Treat TPL As Water Handling And Real Estate Empire And Nothing Else That TPL is just another company collecting oil and gas royalties is no longer a valid descriptio...

During the quarter, the asset management firm tripled its share count in NETSTREIT ( NTST ), a single-tenant retail REIT, to over 14.8M shares, valuing the stake at $278.7M as of March 31. Cohen & Steers also doubled its stake in National Storage Affiliates Trust ( NSA ), a self-storage REIT, to nearly 4.5M shares during the quarter, valuing the holding at $169.6M at quarter-end. The firm also increased its stakes by more than 50% in timber REIT Rayonier ( RYN ), single-tenant retail REIT Essential Properties Realty Trust ( EPRT ), and hotel-focused DiamondRock Hospitality ( DRH ). Cohen & Steers also initiated stakes in two new REIT holdings, buying 245,403 shares valued at $10.3M of NNN REIT ( NNN ) and a $1.3M stake in healthcare REIT Sabra Health Care REIT ( SBRA ). On the other hand, the asset management firm cut its position in 28 US REIT holdings, including all shares of diversified REIT W.P. Carey ( WPC ). Additionally, the firm sold all its shares in cold-storage-focused Americold Realty Trust ( COLD ) and a bulk of shares in single-family rental REIT American Homes 4 Rent ( AMH ), as well as shopping center REITs Regency Centers ( REG ) and SITE Centers ( SITC ).

仓储零售巨头Costco Wholesale股价在5月19日交易中触及1096.50美元的历史新高，年内累计涨幅已超过25%，公司市值升至约4850亿美元。 Q2财报奠定上涨基础，销售势头强劲 本轮上涨的坚实支撑来自公司3月5日发布的2026财年第二季度财报。当季营收达696亿美元，同比增长约7.4%，超越市场预期的692.5亿美元；每股收益4.58美元，同样高于预期的4.55美元。会员费收入增长13.6%至13.55亿美元，全球付费会员增至8210万，美国和加拿大续费率稳定在92.3%的高位。 销售数据持续强劲。4月净销售额同比增长13%至239.2亿美元，电商业务成为重要增长引擎，第二季度数字渠道可比销售额大增22.6%。 瑞穗金融 集团4月将目标价上调至1100美元，维持“跑赢大盘”评级，指出燃油业务和商品均价上涨对同店销售增长贡献显著。 拆股猜测升温，历史表明概率不高 股价突破四位数后，市场对Costco实施拆股的猜测明显增加。Costco历史上仅进行过三次拆股：1991年2拆1、1992年3拆2、2000年2拆1。此后26年间，尽管股价持续攀升，公司再未进行任何拆股操作。 分析人士对此意见分歧。一方认为，当前散户可通过零股交易轻松购买高价股，拆股的实际必要性已大幅降低；高股价本身反而是管理层对公司价值有信心的信号。另一方则指出，拆股有助于降低心理门槛、增加流动性，且公司账上持有约170亿美元现金，不排除在拆股同时派发特别股息的可能性。 估值争议：52倍市盈率“完美定价”了吗？ 股价飙升使估值问题成为市场最大争议点。目前Costco滚动市盈率约52至57倍，前瞻市盈率约46倍，几乎是标普500指数均值约25倍的两倍。历史比较显示，这一估值水平接近其10年历史中位数的两倍。 Wedbush Securities分析师指出，Costco目前处于“为完美定价”状态，市场已为其设定了极高的期望值，任何同店销售增速的轻微放缓或续费率的小幅下滑，都可能引发显著的估值压缩。然而，持续的消费者流量、定价权以及会员模式的防御性特征，使其在不确定的经济环境中持续吸引寻求“安全港”的机构资金。 机构目标价分歧，内部人士减持引关注 华尔街分析师对Costco后市看法存在分歧，但整体偏向乐观。德意志银行目标价1106美元， 高盛 1088美元， 美国银行 最为乐观，给出1185美元的...

Paul Morigi/Getty Images Entertainment Former Democratic Congressman Barney Frank, one of the most influential liberal lawmakers of his generation and a key architect of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law, has died at the age of 86, the Associated Press reported. Frank represented Massachusetts in Congress for more than three decades and became one of the most prominent voices on banking regulation, civil rights, and progressive politics. According to AP, Frank played a central role in shaping the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act alongside former Senator Chris Dodd following the global financial crisis. The legislation tightened oversight of banks and expanded regulators’ ability to monitor financial risk after the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the near-failure of several major financial institutions. Frank was known for his sharp wit, combative debate style, and outspoken criticism of conservatives, including President Donald Trump during his later years. He also became one of the first openly gay members of Congress and was a leading advocate for LGBTQ rights while serving in the House. AP reported that Frank remained active in political commentary after leaving office in 2013, frequently weighing in on financial regulation and Democratic Party politics. During Trump’s second term, parts of the Dodd-Frank framework faced renewed pressure from Republicans and financial industry groups seeking looser regulation.

哥伦比亚财政部公共信贷主管哈维尔・奎利亚尔周三向哈韦里亚纳立体声电台表示，该国预计2027年外债融资需求将降至60亿美元以内，相较于2026年预估的98亿美元大幅缩减。 政府对外融资渠道涵盖发行债券、多边机构贷款以及商业银行借贷。 奎利亚尔称：“2027年相关数据仍在核算中，但美元融资需求大概率低于60亿美元，远低于2026年的98亿美元，主要原因是美元计价债务偿债支出大幅减少。” 哥伦比亚将于6月中旬在中期财政框架中公布2027年融资目标。 奎利亚尔透露，虽然具体资金配比尚未敲定，但对外融资中约30亿美元将通过发行国际债券筹集，剩余约30亿美元则取自多边金融机构、商业银行等其他渠道。 责任编辑：江学思

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Previewing CRWD's Upcoming Earnings CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. ( CRWD ) stock is hitting its all-time high at the moment, just a couple of weeks ahead of its fiscal Q1 2027 earnings release (set for 06/03/2026 after-market). I wrote about the stock a few times, with my most recent article on it dated late August 2025 with a "Hold" rating. Back then, I was reviewing the earnings print for Q2 2026, explaining why the stock fell after the release despite quite strong numbers in general. Now, I'd like to update my coverage, but with a preview this time. But first, let's briefly review the latest data (Q4 2026). In the quarter, the firm made $1.31 billion (+23% YoY) with a new ARR of $331 million (+47% YoY), ending the total ARR at $5.25 billion, making CRWD the only pure-play cybersecurity firm that crossed the $5 billion ARR mark. Non-GAAP EBIT came in at $326 million at a 25% margin, with FCF hitting $376 million (29% margin). Given that CRWD is hitting its all-time highs this year, the SaaSpocalypse that came from Anthropic's ( ANTHRO ) Claude hasn't impacted the forward growth story at CRWD, not taking into account the latest quarter results as well. The Falcon Flex subscription model still works exceptionally well, and I believe this makes CRWD's offerings more attractive for the customers' cost control. With Falcon Flex, customers can unlock greater economic value for a pre negotiated commitment that can be drawn down over time. The balance can be used to easily expand access to additional CrowdStrike offerings during this period, including newly released modules and services. This reduces or entirely skips the often lengthy procurement cycle or legal reviews related to out-of-cycle purchases. Source: CRWD's press release The ending ARR from Flex accounts went up by >120% YoY in Q4 2026 , still being at a very low base of just $1.69 billion, in my opinion. I think this niche will keep contributing to the ARR exp...

Tesla is still banking on autonomous software saving the company, despite not having the best driver-assist suite on the market. The company is looking to expand its questionable software to China, and it's hiring everything from engineers to test drivers in the country to make that goal happen.

Musk had previously expected to officially launch the advanced driver-assistance technology as early as February, but last month executives said regulatory approval is now expected by the third quarter of the year.
