Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, in trading on Thursday, shares of Tractor Supply Co. (Symbol: TSCO) were yielding above the 2% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $4.12), with the stock changing hands as low as $203.40 on the day. Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return. To illustrate, suppose for example you purchased shares of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) back on 12/31/1999 — you would have paid $146.88 per share. Fast forward to 12/31/2012 and each share was worth $142.41 on that date, a decrease of $4.67/share over all those years. But now consider that you collected a whopping $25.98 per share in dividends over the same period, for a positive total return of 23.36%. Even with dividends reinvested, that only amounts to an average annual total return of about 1.6%; so by comparison collecting a yield above 2% would appear considerably attractive if that yield is sustainable. Tractor Supply Co. (Symbol: TSCO) is an S&P 500 company, giving it special status as one of the large-cap companies making up the S&P 500 Index. In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Tractor Supply Co., looking at the history chart for TSCO below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 2% annual yield.

Bank Of America Settles Lawsuit Over Ties To Jeffrey Epstein's Sex Crimes Authored by José Niño via Headline USA , Bank of America has reached a settlement with an anonymous woman who accused the financial giant of enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation and profiting from his criminal enterprise. A Bank of America flies backward, emblematic of the financial institution's backward mindset in prioritizing woke political objectives over shareholder profits and financial health. / IMAGE: Wcnc Newsroom via YouTube Lawyers for both parties informed a judge they had agreed to a “settlement in principle” according to court filings made public on Monday that The Financial Times reported. The proposed agreement contains undisclosed terms and awaits judicial approval at a hearing scheduled for early April. Bank of America declined to comment on the matter. The woman filed her lawsuit in October of last year in Manhattan federal court under the pseudonym Jane Doe. She sought class action status and financial damages while accusing BofA of “participating in and financially benefiting from Jeffrey Epstein’s widespread and well-publicised sex-trafficking operation, as well as the direct financial benefits it received therefrom.” According to her complaint, the plaintiff first encountered Epstein while living in Russia in 2011. She resided in New York from 2011 to 2019 during which time the convicted sex offender abused her. The lawsuit alleged that Bank of America failed to file suspicious activity reports to law enforcement about questionable transactions “before it was far too late” and ignored red flags the bank had a legal responsibility to report. “A review of Jane Doe’s account history will show incredibly alarming and erratic banking behaviour,” the initial complaint stated. The anonymous woman described opening a Bank of America account in 2013 that Epstein and his accountant Richard Kahn allegedly used to pay her monthly rent. This arrangement purportedly cr...

Global equities ( URTH ), ( VT ) have fallen 5% since the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran, a move that HSBC analysts identify as “largely justified” by macro drivers. However, the bank’s analysis reveals significant “dislocations beneath the surface,” suggesting several markets have been oversold relative to their fundamentals, according to a research note. Performance of global equities is broadly inline with fundamentals (FTSE Russell, Factset, Bloomberg, HSBC) HSBC’s regime models indicate that recent market rotations are “more indicative of a market pricing recession not stagflation,” with the probability of recession now standing at 35%, up sharply from 10% just two weeks ago. The implied likelihood of stagflation has barely moved, holding at just 8%, Alastair Pinder, head of emerging markets and global equity strategist at HSBC Global Investment Research, said. This shift is consistent with the sharp 9% underperformance of cyclical sectors versus defensives since mid-February, according to the bank. The “biggest physical disruption in the oil market’s history” caused by the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz represents the main pain point for equities, Pinder added. European markets such as Germany ( EWG ), Netherlands ( EWN ), Belgium ( EWK ), and France ( EWQ ) are likely to underperform if supply constraints keep oil prices elevated, while energy-heavy markets including Norway ( NORW ), ( ENOR ), Saudi Arabia ( KSA ), the UK ( EWU ), Canada ( EWC ), and Brazil ( EWZ ) should prove relatively more resilient, according to the analysis of equity return sensitivity to oil price ( CL1:COM ), ( CO1:COM ) shocks. HSBC’s research identifies several emerging markets that appear to have been “unfairly punished” by the recent volatility, with Korea ( EWY ), South Africa ( EZA ), and Indonesia ( EIDO ) oversold by approximately 5-10%. % over/undershot macro drivers since start of Iran war (FTSE Russell, Factset, Bloomberg, HSBC) The strategists noted th...

Gross margin was 46.1%, compared with 48.3% in 2024.

General and administrative expenses decreased by 11.9% year-over-year to RMB1,007.3 million (USD143.3 million), primarily due to lower employee-related expenses. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 13.7% in 2025, compared with 14.1% in 2024. Net other losses were RMB1,245.8 million (USD177.2 million) in 2025, compared with net other losses of RMB973.9 million in 2024. The net other losses in 2025 were primarily due to a RMB1.8 billion impairment loss of goodwill attributable to New Classics Media, and was partially offset by gains from certain investee companies.

Finding stocks that have the potential to set you up for life is no easy task. Currently, there's no better place to find that type of massive upside potential in the stock market than in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. For investors looking to maximize their returns, I'm incredibly bullish on Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) . Although they've delivered strong gains already in recent years, I can think of few better stocks to buy than these two. Image source: Getty Images. Although the market may be growing a bit wary about the vast sums of money being spent on AI infrastructure, the reality is that the hyperscalers cannot afford to underspend. Right now, less than 20% of all businesses are using AI, according to research done by The Motley Fool . AI resources are still generally hard to come by, so there's clearly a need to continue spending more on AI computing capacity because demand now isn't even close to what it's expected to be a few years down the road.

European nations should prepare for attacks by non-state actors including criminal networks, terror groups and lone attackers as drone technology advances, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned. The Ukrainian president said it was no longer just “a wealthy madman like Putin” who could afford mass attacks as he demonstrated the latest technology to British MPs and peers. Zelenskyy said the regimes in Moscow and Tehran were “brothers in hatred”, with Russia using Iranian-designed Shahed drones, as well as its own variants of them, to attack critical infrastructure in Ukraine. His UK visit came as Keir Starmer said the west must not “lose focus” on Ukraine amid concerns that the Iran conflict had revived Russia’s ailing economy by increasing oil revenue and Kyiv could miss out on air defence systems being deployed to the Middle East instead. The prime minister said: “Putin can’t be the one who benefits from the conflict in Iran, whether that’s oil prices or the dropping of sanctions. It is really important we keep our resolve in relation to supporting Ukraine, doing everything we can to weaken the hand of Putin.” In his speech at Westminster, Zelenskyy said: “It is not only about a state launching attacks, we must be ready for any kind of strike, including from non-state actors, criminal networks, terrorist groups and even lone attackers who can gain access to such technologies. “With the spread of drones, mass attacks no longer cost billions. They cost far less. It is no longer only a wealthy madman like Putin who can afford this, unfortunately, but even now he is still being given money as sanctions of his own are lifted.” Zelenskyy suggested the Middle East conflict was “not a faraway war” for Ukraine because of the military technology shared by Iran and Russia. He added: “If evil wins, the evolution of war will cross any distance on earth, no ocean will help, no desert, no mountains … the regimes in Russia and Iran are brothers in hatred, and that is why they are brothers...

Galeanu Mihai/iStock via Getty Images I've become more cautious on markets recently, as the Iran war has introduced an additional layer of considerable uncertainty into the economic equation. The primary issue for markets here may not be the war itself, but the substantial increase in oil prices as the Strait of Hormuz remains obstructed. Oil Futures - Could Move Higher Oil futures (thinkorswim) This dynamic has caused oil prices to skyrocket from the previous $60-70 range to approximately $100 now. Moreover, there is the risk of further escalation in the conflict, which could cause the price of oil to remain higher for longer than the market appears to anticipate or has priced in for now. In addition to the higher oil prices, the economy could face higher inflation as prices at the pump jump. We should also consider that oil is a crucial component in numerous products, which could increase the costs of many goods as we advance. CPI Inflation 3 Years CPI Inflation (Trading Economics) While the CPI and other inflation gauges have decreased recently, the surge in oil prices could have a negative impact on inflation going forward. This dynamic complicates things for the Fed, as the FOMC may find it challenging to justify cutting interest rates or introducing QE in an increasing inflationary environment. So, How Many Rate Cuts This Year? Rate probabilities (CMEGroup) Currently, the market has become quite bearish and hawkish concerning the Fed rate cut probabilities. In fact, there is more than a 50% probability that we won't even see one rate cut by September. Moreover, there is even about a 33% probability that there will not be a rate cut in 2026. There was a likelihood of 2-3 rate cuts before the Iranian conflict began. However, we've seen a drastic change in rate cut probabilities since then. A month ago, there was about a 90% probability that we would see at least one rate cut by September's FOMC meeting, and now, it's essentially a coin flip. The Market Hates Unc...

watch now VIDEO 5:01 05:01 Orlando Bravo: Many software companies in the public markets will be disrupted by AI The Exchange Thoma Bravo co-founder Orlando Bravo on Tuesday said that artificial intelligence will disrupt software companies faster, and some of the hits to valuation are "very warranted." "There are many, many software companies in the public markets that will be disrupted from AI," he told CNBC's Leslie Picker at Thoma Bravo's investor meeting in Miami. "Those companies were going to be disrupted anyway." Bravo did not name the companies he felt deserved lower valuations or those that were in danger of disruption. Thoma Bravo is a software-focused investment firm founded in 2008. As of December, the firm had over $183 billion in assets under management in 77 companies.

The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF ( IGV ), which tracks the industry, is down roughly 28% from its all-time high in September. Bravo said that some software names, however, took "unjustified" hits from the sell-off and are "phenomenal businesses that are actually going to be big winners in the agentic era." "Those companies have been severely punished when they shouldn't have been," he added. Bravo did not name those companies.

Remedy is winding down its team shooter FBC: Firebreak with a big update that launches today. But while the game won’t be getting any new content going forward, the studio intends to keep it alive for the foreseeable future. It’s yet another example of a live-service game struggling amidst a volatile market. The new update is called “Open House,” and it includes a handful of new areas pulled from Control (Firebreak is a spinoff that takes place in the Control universe), along with what Remedy describes as “gameplay improvements and balance changes aimed at making combat clearer, smoother, and more flexible.” You can check out Steam for the full list of changes. However, unlike many recent shooters that have shut down entirely, Remedy plans to keep Firebreak running even with a smaller userbase. “We have done engineering work to ensure we can sustain the upkeep of the relay servers when the player volume is lower,” the developer says. The studio has also made some changes to try to keep the playerbase active even without content updates. Anyone who owns Firebreak can play with their friends for free through a new feature called “Friend’s Pass,” and the game’s price has been reduced to $19.99. Remedy says that Firebreak “will stay online and continue to be playable for years to come.” As for Remedy, the studio is returning to what it’s known for with its next release. A Control sequel called Resonant shifts the franchise to an action-RPG experience, and is expected to launch some time in 2026.

Wachiwit Netflix ( NFLX ) has a plan to extend the Stranger Things franchise with an animated spin-off. Stranger Things: Tales From '85 is poised to extend the franchise by turning its first animated spin‑off into both a streaming event and a limited theatrical experience. The early April 18 screenings of the first two episodes in 34 U.S. AMC theaters (plus New York’s Paris Theater and Netflix House Philadelphia) are aimed at creating a premium "must‑see‑first" window ahead of the April 23 full Netflix ( NFLX ) launch. Notably, it will be the second major time Stranger Things has been in theaters, with the season 5 finale hitting theaters across the U.S. and other select territories on New Year's Day. By strategically positioning Tales From '85 to take place between seasons 2 and 3, the streaming giant will keep core characters like Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, and Max in play after the flagship series' highly discussed conclusion. The new series may also extend Stranger Things engagement while Netflix ( NFLX ) explores additional live‑action spin‑offs. The animated format, produced with Flying Bark and leaning into a stylized 1980s aesthetic, is anticipated to broaden merchandising potential and open the door to younger, more family‑oriented audiences, without the budget profile of VFX‑heavy live action. If Tales From '85 performs well for Netflix ( NFLX ), it will validate animation as a scalable way to mine the Stranger Things universe between major tentpole beats.
