zhengzaishuru/iStock via Getty Images As data center development fuels an unprecedented wave of large-load customer contracts, US electric utilities are emphasizing long-term spending and growth visibility over quarterly financial benchmarks. Companies including FirstEnergy Corp. ( FE ), Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. ( PEG ), Duke Energy Corp. ( DUK ), Southern Co. ( SO ), DTE Energy Co. ( DTE ) and American Electric Power Co. Inc. ( AEP ) significantly increased their five-year capital plans when reporting fourth-quarter 2025 earnings results. Many also extended or increased their five-year growth projections for earnings per share. "Historically, earnings outcomes were dictated by near-term regulatory execution, completion of large [capital expenditure] projects, [operations and maintenance] discipline, weather normalization and financing mechanics," analysts at Mizuho wrote March 2. "This quarter, however, management teams consistently anchored investor discussions around longer-dated narratives." With equity value "increasingly tied to story credibility ... utilities are trading less like their historical norm and more like infrastructure platforms whose multiples expand or compress based on narrative traction rather than marginal execution beats or misses," Mizuho analysts continued. Smaller and mid-cap utility companies such as Portland General Electric Co. ( POR ), Avista Corp. ( AVA ), NorthWestern Energy Group Inc. ( NWE ) and Pinnacle West Capital Corp. ( PNW ) were "missing from the growth story" because they were experiencing less load growth, analysts at KeyBanc noted March 3. "All continue to trade at the lower end of the peer group," KeyBanc said. Analysts at Evercore agreed that exposure to load growth is a key factor in that "bifurcation." Utilities "facing regulatory lag, capital intensity without offsetting growth, or commodity volatility remain more valuation-sensitive," Evercore said March 5. "Utilities are now growing EPS closer to 8% at...

Galeanu Mihai/iStock via Getty Images U.S. teens seeking jobs are facing an uphill struggle. Jobs for Americans between the ages of 16 and 19 continued their long downward trend in February 2026. For younger teens, Age 16 and 17, that downward trend began in April 2022 when the percentage of that age demographic counted as being employed peaked at a seasonally adjusted 25.6%. Through February 2026, that percentage has dropped to 21.0%. Older teens, Age 18 and 19, have fared better, with their employment-to-population percentage peaking at 45.8% of their demographic in December 2025. Through February 2026, that statistic has fallen to 41.3%. The following pair of charts presents the seasonally adjusted data for both the number of teens employed in each of these age categories and also the U.S. teen employment-to-population ratio for the period from January 2021 through February 2026. The trend for younger teens is the most concerning. Over the period captured by these charts, many of the teens who were working at Age 16 and 17 in 2022 went on to become the working Age 18 and 19 teens, which helps explain why that demographic had its peak a little over two years later. Meanwhile, the teens who replaced them in the younger demographic are proving to be much less successful in finding jobs. The recent downtrend for older teens may be developing in part because of the same demographic rollover, with the portion of the teen workforce who first entered the job market in 2022 now aging out into the next higher age category.

Financial technology company SumUp Payments Ltd. is inviting banks to pitch for roles on an initial public offering in Europe, according to people familiar with the matter, after the company considered a US listing. The payments firm known for its point of sale terminal is requesting the pitches for an IPO on a European exchange like London or Amsterdam, the people said. SumUp is working with STJ Advisors on the listing preparations, they said. Frankfurt is also a possible venue, one of the people said. Deliberations are ongoing and no final decision has been made, they said. The listing could value SumUp at $10 billion or more, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information isn’t public. The firm was valued at $8.5 billion in a funding round in 2023. A representative for SumUp declined to comment. A representative for STJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The moves come after firms advising SumUp recommended the company list locally instead of in the US, people familiar with the matter have said. The advisers largely urged the company to choose a European venue due to its proportion of sales in the US, they said.

Torsten Asmus/iStock via Getty Images Key Takeaways Markets: Mid cap equities were flat to slightly positive in the fourth quarter, with the Russell Midcap Index returning 0.16%. Market performance was shaped less by macroeconomic shocks and more by an increasingly narrow set of investor preferences, particularly late in the quarter, as momentum faded in several growth-oriented areas that had driven returns earlier in the year. Earnings reactions became more uneven, with stocks often moving sharply irrespective of underlying execution, reinforcing a market dynamic where sentiment and positioning frequently outweighed fundamentals. While certain cyclical and industrial recovery narratives stalled, dispersion beneath the surface of index-level results remained elevated, underscoring both the challenges and opportunities for active, company-specific investing.

Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector, underweights to the communication services and real estate sectors. Detractors: Holdings in Alexandria Real Estate Equities ( ARE ), Chewy ( CHWY ) and Resideo Technologies ( REZI ). Stock selection in the information technology ( IT ), real estate and financials sectors. Outlook: As we look toward 2026, we believe the environment for mid cap equities is becoming incrementally more constructive, though uncertainty remains. The past several years have been characterized by an unusually narrow market, where a small subset of highly visible growth themes attracted the majority of investor attention, while many fundamentally sound businesses across the broader economy were overlooked. In our view, this dynamic contributed to a prolonged period of deferred investment and cautious decision making outside of a limited number of favored areas.

Bill Gates is one of the most well-known billionaires in the world. The Microsoft founder became the wealthiest person in the world in the late 1990s, as the tech company's value soared. Despite giving away a large chunk of his wealth since the turn of the century, Gates' net worth still sits above $100 billion. But he plans to give away almost all of it to the Gates Foundation by 2045. The Gates Foundation maintains a large endowment to fund improvements in health, gender equality, development, and education worldwide. A big part of that is its $38 billion equity portfolio. While Gates made his riches in technology, the foundation's equity portfolio reflects his personal investment style and the heavy influence of longtime friend and former Gates Foundation board member Warren Buffett. That includes a willingness to maintain a highly concentrated portfolio. In fact, about 60% of the portfolio is held in just three stocks. 1. Berkshire Hathaway (26% of assets) The Gates Foundation receives an annual injection of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA 0.40%) (BRKB 0.58%) shares from Warren Buffett. This year's donation added 9.4 million Class B shares to the portfolio. Buffett's donation comes with the stipulation that the foundation must spend an amount equal to his donation plus 5% of its other assets each year to receive the next donation. While the portfolio managers have sold some Berkshire shares to help fund the foundation's operations, they've been able to hold a large chunk, and it's currently the biggest position in the portfolio. That's worked out well for the Gates Foundation. While the share price has fallen since Buffett announced his retirement as CEO last May, the stock has held up well over the long run. Meanwhile, the company has produced solid operating results, led by its core insurance business. New CEO Greg Abel expressed disappointment with the BNSF railroad business, but noted improvements in its operating margin in 2025. The energy business produced result...
