Key Points Nvidia will report first-quarter earnings with analysts expecting 79% revenue growth. Management says demand continues to outpace supply. The stock looks well-priced on a forward basis. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has held the title of world's most valuable company for nearly a year now, after first claiming it in June 2024 and then trading places with Apple and Microsoft. That's a testament to both the power of the AI boom and Nvidia's own success in dominating the market for data center GPUs, the chips that have been the building blocks for the AI revolution. 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 » In fiscal 2026, which ended in January, Nvidia reported 65% revenue growth to $215.9 million, and 65% profit margins, equal to a $120.1 billion net income. No company this big has ever grown revenue this fast, with such high profit margins. Nvidia is no longer the top-performing AI stock. That mantle has been passed to memory chip stocks like Micron and Sandisk, and CPU makers like Intel and AMD, who are set to benefit from the era of agentic AI. However, Nvidia is still easily beating the S&P 500 this year, and the stock recently topped $5.5 trillion in market cap, though it's since pulled back slightly from there. Nvidia will report first-quarter earnings after hours on Wednesday, and with the company's current market cap at $5.34 trillion, a strong enough reaction could drive the stock past the $6 trillion mark. What to expect from Nvidia's Q1 Remarkably, Nvidia's revenue has accelerated over the last two quarters, underscoring the strength of demand for its chips and dispelling any notion of an AI bubble. In the first quarter, Wall Street analysts see its revenue growth to 79.6% to $79.1 billion, and adjusted earnings per share more than doubling...

imaginima/E+ via Getty Images By Kyle Richards For the first quarter of 2026, most of the constituents in the broad Alerian Midstream Energy Index (AMNA) maintained their payouts, with a handful of MLPs and select C-Corps providing sequential growth. The vast majority of midstream companies have increased their dividends within the last year, with further growth expected this year. Learn more below about 1Q26 MLP/midstream dividends and why dividend growth is just one of multiple tailwinds for this space. 1Q26 Payouts: Notable Increases From MLPs & C-Corps Dividend announcements for 1Q26 included increases from steady growers, as well as a few notable hikes from names that typically increase their payouts once a year. The largest sequential percentage increase was from C-Corp Targa Resources ( TRGP ), which raised its dividend by 25% to $1.25 per share, consistent with management’s guidance from November 2025 . Notably, DT Midstream ( DTM ) increased its 1Q26 dividend by 7.3%, as announced in February. Pembina ( PBA ) and Kinder Morgan ( KMI ), which typically raise their payouts annually for the first quarter, increased their dividends by 3.5% and 1.7% , respectively. Sunoco ( SUN ) had one of the more notable increases among MLPs for 1Q26, raising its quarterly distribution by 6.25% sequentially. The increase, comprising a one-time 5% step-up and a 1.25% quarterly increase, aligns with the company’s target of at least 5% multi-year distribution growth. Besides SUN, other sequential increases came from MLPs with a track record of growing their payout each quarter: Energy Transfer ( ET ), Hess Midstream ( HESM ), Global Partners ( GLP ), and Delek Logistics Partners ( DKL ). Western Midstream ( WES ) grew its payout 2.2% and Star Group ( SGU ), which is only in the Alerian MLP Index (AMZ), increased by 6.8% . The pie charts below show quarter-over-quarter changes to dividends for AMNA, AMZ, and the Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index (AMZI) by comparing 1Q26 payouts to...

1. German courts have handed down lengthy prison sentences in drug-facilitated rape cases targeting Chinese women, exposing an international criminal network built around encrypted Telegram groups, anesthetic drugs, cross-border shipping, and digital payments [para. 1]. The cases were uncovered through cooperation between German and Chinese police in late 2024, centered on a Telegram group where members used coded language: women were referred to as "cars," sedatives as "fuel," and rape as "driving" [para. 2]. Most victims were Chinese women in Germany, China, or elsewhere in Europe; some were unaware they had been assaulted until police contacted them after finding photos and videos on suspects' devices [para. 3]. 2. The main defendant, Dapeng Zhang (44), was sentenced in Frankfurt to 14 years in prison for aggravated rape, dangerous bodily harm, attempted murder, and possession of child sexual-abuse material, with preventive detention ordered; he has appealed [para. 5]. Tong Zhou (26) received 5 years and 9 months in Berlin, while Zhongyi Jiang (28) was sentenced to 11 years and 3 months in Munich [para. 6]. A fourth defendant, Zhiting Shao, a medical student accused of giving drug-use advice, is expected to be sentenced in Berlin in June [para. 6]. Judges noted that victims' survival was often a matter of chance due to dangerous doses of sedatives and anesthetics [para. 7]. A German judge commented that the crimes are a global phenomenon, not limited to Chinese or German contexts [para. 8][para. 9]. 3. The network operated through encrypted chat groups where Zhang, a computer science graduate and former IT worker, became an administrator distributing sedatives and anesthetics [para. 10][para. 11]. Over three years, Zhang committed 12 attacks, escalating from acquaintances to posing as a female renter for apartment viewings, leaving threats and intimate photos [para. 12]. Police arrested him in November 2024 and found sedatives, anesthetics, wigs, and 170,000 imag...
