JD.com Inc. (NASDAQ:JD) is one of the 10 Stocks to Watch Right Now. JD rallied for a second day on Friday, jumping 6.12 percent to close at $27.03 apiece, after an investment firm reaffirmed its “buy” recommendation and price target for the stock. In its market report, Benchmark maintained its rating and $38 price target for JD.com Inc.

Edward Chaidez/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The last time I wrote about Grocery Outlet ( GO ), I explained that it was a potential turnaround stock. Now, it sounds like its turnaround plan has run into some setbacks. Grocery Outlet decided to move away from its treasure-hunt model and become more like a regular discount grocery store. In my previous article, I said that this was a risk factor and the company risked damaging its brand if it did this. It now looks like Grocery Outlet’s customers might not have liked its recent changes. Grocery Outlet did report double-digit revenue growth in the fourth quarter , but that was mostly because of the extra week in 2025. Its total revenue rose 10.7% to $1.22 billion for the quarter, but same-store sales were down 0.8%. Meanwhile, traffic was up 0.9%. So, it sounds like Grocery Outlet’s customers are trying to conserve their money right now, which isn’t surprising. Right now, other grocery stores are also saying that their customers are now making more trips to the store, but buying fewer products on each trip. But Grocery Outlet also reported an operating loss of $234.8 million for the quarter. This setup creates a potential opportunity for value investors who can look past the company’s poor GAAP results. Grocery Outlet’s operating loss includes non-cash impairment losses. But the reason for these impairment losses is that Grocery Outlet is writing off the value of many franchised grocery stores that it plans to close. These store closures aren’t a good sign, so this stock could be a value trap. But Grocery Outlet could also make changes to its turnaround plan and recover. It sounds like its management team knows that the company made some mistakes recently. Grocery Outlet Is Bringing Back More Treasure-Hunt Groceries Bears think that Grocery Outlet might not be able to buy the inventory it needs in the future. Grocery Outlet needs to be able to buy groceries for very large discounts from food manufacturers to make i...

Amarin (AMRN 0.78%) is a drug company that is in a particularly precarious position. This fact is highlighted by the company's recent move to restructure its operations in an effort to cut costs. And Vascepa, the one drug it has to sell, is already facing generic competition in the United States. Most investors would be better off with a larger drug company. Amarin has some positives to offer Perhaps the most positive thing about Amarin is its balance sheet. The company is carrying no long-term debt, has a cash balance of nearly $135 million, and owns short-term investments worth just under $168 million. In short, it is in a very strong financial position and can likely sustain its business for years to come. Meanwhile, despite the headwinds Vascepa faces in the U.S. market, it is a revenue-generating product. In 2025, Amarin had product sales of nearly $183 million. And a restructuring effort in 2025 has helped the company reduce costs. Management believes the restructuring will help it to generate positive free cash flow in 2026. A pharmaceutical company with no debt and positive free cash flow would normally be hard to complain about. I still wouldn't touch Amarin with a 10-foot pole For the most part, the good news ends there. The big risk is that the company's sales stood at $285 million two years ago. So there's been a material decline on the top line. The fact that its only drug has faced generic competition in the U.S. market has a lot to do with the revenue decline. With no other product to lean on, Amarin has little choice but to pull back on spending or its strong financial situation could quickly start to deteriorate.

Pakin Jarerndee/iStock via Getty Images It has been over half a year since I have covered SoFi Technologies, Inc. ( SOFI ). That piece was focused mainly on the technical analysis side of things. In terms of the fundamentals, I did find strength, but the valuation was also relatively elevated, so in my view the stock was only a hold. Despite pulling back, you can see below that SoFi sits significantly above levels when my previous update came out, and so it appears that I was overall too cautious. Nonetheless, today, I aim to provide a fresh perspective that's rooted in fundamental analysis. Seeking Alpha Below, it is shown that SoFi is in a great position in the fintech space. User metrics are looking good, and that is successfully being translated into financial growth. The company is also one that's well run as their margin expansion helped to power an impressive Rule of 40 score. While revenue guidance could have been stronger, the outlook is overall solid. In my view, the valuation has also come down too much, and their CEO's recent purchases of stock show that there's opportunity. Therefore, I have decided to upgrade SoFi to a buy rating now. The Company Has Come A Long Way SoFi Q4 Presentation SoFi is, in the grand scheme of things, still a fairly young company despite being one of the pioneers of fintech. After being founded in 2011, the company has greatly expanded their portfolio of services. You can see above that while there has been some acquisitions along the way, the vast majority of their expansion has been organic. This shows that SoFi remains an innovator at heart. Their solutions now span from banking to crypto, and these services are now available through SoFi Plus. In my view, the company has come a long way, and a good track record in this business means a lot when evaluating the investment potential of the stock. Activity Looks Strong SoFi Q4 Presentation At the end of the day, a fintech company is usually successful when it can attract users ...

Track your investments for FREE with Simply Wall St, the portfolio command center trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against Alphabet (NasdaqGS:GOOGL), alleging its Gemini AI chatbot contributed to a user's suicide. The claim is reported to be the first legal case directly tied to Google's AI tools and their role in a death. At the same time, Alphabet announced a new healthcare AI partnership with CVS Health focused on a real time consumer engagement platform. Alphabet, the parent of Google and Gemini, is a central player in large scale consumer AI and cloud services, and is steadily tying these tools into sectors where user safety and regulatory oversight are front and center. The combination of a wrongful death lawsuit and a new healthcare AI collaboration with CVS Health highlights how its technology is used in high stakes contexts. For investors, the key questions relate less to short term headlines and more to how legal risk, product design, and compliance frameworks evolve as Gemini and related tools reach deeper into areas such as health engagement. How Alphabet sets guardrails, explains AI limitations, and responds to litigation could influence how regulators, partners, and users engage with its AI platform over time.

India raised prices of its most widely used cooking gas for the first time in a year, as the Iran war disrupted Middle East energy flows and sent global fuel costs higher. Indian Oil Corp. , the nation’s largest refiner, increased the price of a 14.2-kilogram liquefied petroleum gas cylinder in New Delhi by 7% to 913 rupees ($9.95), according to its website. Other state-run retailers — Bharat Petroleum Corp. and Hindustan Petroleum Corp. — raised rates in tandem, marking the first hike for household consumers since April. India, the world’s third-largest LPG consumer, sources more than 90% of its imports from the Middle East. Much of that supply transits the Strait of Hormuz, now effectively closed to traffic, squeezing shipments of a fuel widely used for cooking across the country. The price increase will affect more than two-thirds of India’s roughly 333 million LPG-using households, with the rest being subsidized. While urban consumers also have access to piped natural gas, higher cooking gas prices are likely to add to inflation by lifting the fuel component of the consumer price index. Household LPG prices are typically adjusted only once or twice a year, reflecting their political sensitivity. Women make up nearly half of India’s electorate, and cooking gas costs are closely watched by political parties. Prices of commercial LPG cylinders used by hotels and restaurants were raised 6.5% to 1,883 rupees, according to Indian Oil. Commercial rates, which are revised monthly, were last increased 1.6% on March 1. An oil ministry spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to an email sent outside office hours, requesting for comment on the price increase. In order to boost stockpiles of LPG, the government has used emergency powers to push refiners to maximize production and prioritize household users, and curtail supplies to petrochemical plants.
