Supreme Court to hear expedited arguments on protected status for migrants toggle caption Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from going ahead with plans to deport some 6,000 Syrians and 350,000 Haitians who were granted Temporary Protected Status by Presidents Obama, Biden, and Trump himself in his first administration. But at the same the court expedited arguments so that the cases will be argued in April, with a decision likely by the end of June. Federal law allows presidents to grant TPS for people in the U.S. whose home country is experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters, and other extraordinary and temporary conditions. President Trump is seeking to end that status for people from 13 countries, including Myanmar, Nepal, Honduras, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Cameroon, Yemen, Somalia, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Venezuela. Sponsor Message In two separate emergency appeals, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to block lower court orders that have continued TPS for Syrians and Haitians while their cases are litigated. Rather than let that play out in the lower courts, Solicitor General D. John Sauer asserted the time was right for the high court to act now, "given lower courts' persistent disregard" for this court's actions in other TPS cases. In an unsigned order, the court agreed with Sauer that the broader TPS question needs to be decided and set expedited arguments for April on several questions. The first is whether TPS designations are reviewable by the courts and if so, whether the TPS holders have some valid claims. Finally, the court will determine whether the TPS holders equal-protection claim fails on the merits. There were no noted dissents. The TPS program allows people from specific countries to temporarily live and work in the U.S. while upheaval – from an ongoing armed conflict, environmental disaster, or another extraordinary and temporary condition – in their home ...

Semtech (SMTC) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.44 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.43 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.4 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +1.92%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this chipmaker would post earnings of $0.44 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.48, delivering a surprise of +9.09%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. Semtech, which belongs to the Zacks Semiconductor - Analog and Mixed industry, posted revenues of $274.4 million for the quarter ended January 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.48%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $251 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Semtech shares have added about 15.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 3.1%. What's Next for Semtech? While Semtech has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Last year at GTC, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang predicted that Nvidia’s data center hardware would earn the company a half-trillion dollars in 2025 and 2026. In the last 12 months, the data center segment has had sales of $192 billion, up 66% from the previous period. Huang’s 140-minute presentation began with a discussion of CUDA, free software that comes with Nvidia’s expensive hardware.

pingingz/iStock via Getty Images MP Materials' ( MP ) two-fold rally over the past year was driven by a confluence of factors, namely the transformational partnership with the U.S. Department of War, a $500M deal with Apple ( AAPL ), surging NdPr prices, and the company's quick progress towards building a vertically integrated rare earth magnetics platform. The pullback in the last three months has set up a healthier entry point after an initial spike following a flare-up of U.S.-China trade relations in October 2025. Data by YCharts The transition to a vertically integrated rare earths platform The company has moved away from an upstream concentrate producer towards a vertically integrated platform encompassing mining, oxide separation, metal and alloy production, and, most importantly, magnet manufacturing. In FY25 , the company brought in a GAAP revenue of $224.4M, up 10% Y/Y from $203.9M from the prior year. The GAAP net loss reached $85.9M, or -$0.50 per diluted share. But these GAAP figures obscure the underlying fundamental acceleration because the $51M income earned under the price protection agreement (" PPA ") in 4Q25 comes below the revenue line. The materials segment recognized $86.6M in total realized proceeds in 4Q25, compared with just $61.3M in 4Q24, on an adjusted basis. As such, adjusted Q4 EBITDA came in at $39.2M, swinging $49.9M in the positive direction from -$10.7M in 4Q24. Adjusted net income/EPS was $9.4M/$0.05 during the quarter, the first positive quarter in two years. Historically, MP mainly sold rare earth concentrate to Chinese customers but was wound down due to its alignment with the DoW as per their agreement. In mid-2025, the company ceased all concentrate sales to China. In substitute, the higher-valued separated NdPr oxide and metal revenue increased to $115.1M in FY25, doubling from the prior year's $57.8M. The new segment, Magnetics, which had no revenue in FY25, contributed to $66.9M in FY25 arising from magnetic precursor prod...

The Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni offer a range of smarts for a relatively affordable price. | Image: Ecovacs If you like the idea of spring cleaning but not the part where you actually have to clean, both the Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni and newer X9 Pro Omni have dropped to their lowest prices to date ahead of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale , which officially kicks off on March 25th. The X8 Pro Omni is available for $599 ($501 off) from Amazon , Best Buy , and Ecovacs , while the X9 Pro Omni is on sale for $679 ($621 off) at the same retailers ( Amazon , Best Buy , Ecovacs ). Deebot X8 Pro Omni Where to Buy: $1099.99 $599 at Amazon $1099.99 $599 at Ecovacs $1099.99 $599 at Best Buy Ecovacs Deebot X9 Pro Omni Where to Buy: $1299.99 $679 at Amazon $1299.99 $679 at Ecovacs $1299.99 $679 at Best Buy Both robot vacuums are packed with smart features designed to reduce the time you spend cleaning. Using lidar and a 3D camera for mapping, they can deftly navigate around furniture and baseboards, and even identify and avoid potential obstacles. The roller mop on both models also cleans itself while it works, and each robovac comes with a multifunction dock with a built-in water tank, allowing them to refill themselves and move dirty water into a separate waste tank. You can also use either the companion app or voice commands to control them thanks to their support for Matter, which lets you connect them to platforms like Alexa and Google Home. Both models are excellent cleaning devices, too, and each uses an extendable roller mop that can apply up to 4,000Pa of pressure and reach hard-to-clean areas (including corners). The biggest differences between the two models come down to how they handle suction and airflow while vacuuming. For instance, the last-gen X8 Pro Omni offers slightly more powerful suction at 18,000Pa, compared to 16,600Pa on the X9. The X9 Pro Omni, meanwhile, leverages Ecovacs’ Boosted Large-Airflow Suction Technology, which moves more air through the vacuum, all...

triloks/iStock via Getty Images By Geoff Bysshe Markets tend to focus on one big idea at a time, and right now, there's no question what that idea is and should be - the war with Iran, because... Bull markets and strong economies are killed by “shocks.” The difference between a problem and a shock can be measured in time and magnitude. I don’t think many investors would debate that the magnitude of the war with Iran qualifies as a shock. Now the question is, “How big will the shock be?” For the bulls looking for a resumption of the bull market... Time is running out. War is raging in Europe and the Middle East.Global trade is choking.The American consumer’s buying power is eroding daily as oil prices skyrocket.The mid-term elections are getting closer. Any of the above could change the outlook for stocks. 2025 enjoyed a bull market and an incredibly positive outlook, in which the focus was on the AI boom being so big that it was creating fears of a bubble. The growth opportunities were so strong that it was creating problems for energy costs and job displacement. I’m optimistic that the AI revolution, space industry, blockchain tech, dramatic advances in medicine and healthcare, and more will provide the foundation for the growth stories that will power the economy and bull market higher, but time is running out for it to continue on the trajectory it had in 2025. Bull markets are patient, and they “climb the wall of worry” until they give up. That process of giving up is slow, and then all of a sudden. Two Big Factors To Watch 1) Short Term: Oil’s Influence As you can see in the table below, the oil markets are now the tail wagging the dog. The table's last column shows the daily correlation of each index and sector to USO (oil ETF) over the last year. The second-to-last column shows the correlation since the war began.

Key Points AMD's stock trades at around 75 times its trailing earnings. The company is coming off a good quarter, but it is expecting its growth rate to slow down. 10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices › Buying shares of a top artificial intelligence (AI) chipmaker can be a potentially great move to make for the long term. Investments in AI are growing, and tech giants are likely going to continue to need tons of chips as they develop next-gen products and services. One stock that surged last year amid its growth potential was Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD). It rose by more than 77%. This year, however, it has been declining by 7%, as there's been some bearishness around AI of late. Could this be a good time to buy AMD's stock on the dip, or should you hold off and wait for an even bigger decline? 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 » AMD's results have been strong, but not overly impressive AMD reported earnings last month, which proved to be underwhelming despite the seemingly strong growth numbers.
