Benzinga Money is a reader-supported publication. We may earn a commission from the advertisers associated with this article. Read our Advertiser Discloser . The most valuable companies in entertainment are built on ownership. That principle has defined the rise of companies like Disney and Marvel—where control of characters, not just content production, enabled decades of recurring revenue across media, consumer products, and licensing. Now ownership is going to the next level as evidenced in Paramount’s $110 billion dollar acquisition of Warner Brothers. This is the strategy behind Elf Labs , a privately held IP company that has spent more than a decade securing rights to globally recognized characters, including Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, and others. After recently reserving its Nasdaq ticker ($ELFS) and reporting valuation growth exceeding 1,600% in under two years , Elf Labs is beginning to draw increased attention from investors tracking pre-IPO investment opportunities usually reserved for elite venture capital firms. But that investment opportunity will soon be gone. Elf Labs’ private round closes on March 19th. Join the 3,500+ investors seeking to disrupt a $2 trillion market with the most profitable character IP in history. Interested investors can learn more about the company’s assets and strategy before the private round closes for good. An IP Strategy That’s Generated $15M in Royalties Rather than starting with content and building brands later, Elf Labs focused first on legal ownership. Over a ten-year effort, the company secured 500+ protected trademarks and copyrights tied to some of the most recognizable characters in history. This foundation gives Elf Labs the abili...

It's been a tough few years for United Parcel Service (UPS +0.34%), or UPS for short.

Investing in turnaround stories can be tricky because there's always the risk that things just don't work out as hoped, and even if you're ultimately proved right, buying too soon could mean years of disappointment. So, why is UPS a magnificent industrial stock you might want to buy now? The company's transformation looks ready to deliver results It can be scary to lose a customer like Amazon, which ultimately moved most of its delivery logistics in-house. However, it seems likely for the best. Amazon reportedly accounted for 20% to 25% of UPS' package volume but only about 12% of its total revenue. The company has been scaling down its Amazon business and restructuring along the way. It reduced its Amazon volume by 1 million packages per day in 2025 and will drop another 1 million per day by mid-2026. UPS has been downsizing to cut costs and adjust to lower volume.

Torsten Asmus/iStock via Getty Images With every passing week so far in 2026, the chances of a Stagflationary environment descending over the U.S. economy and equity markets continue to grow. Inflation has proven more than ' sticky ' in recent months, with the CPI stuck above the Federal Reserve's two percent ' official' target. BLS January's Producer Price Index rose .5% on a month-over-month basis, a bit over expectations. The PPI for final demand rose 3.0% in 2025. This followed a 3.5% increase in 2024. The February PPI reading is due out on March 18th. PPI By Month (NASDAQ.Com) And it should be noted, both the recent CPI and PPI readings happened before the conflict in the Middle East spiked oil prices past the $100/barrel level. Statista In addition to the roughly 20% of global oil supplies passing through the Strait of Hormuz, other critical supplies like nitrogen and phosphate (critical for the fertilizer industry) transit this chokepoint as well as LNG, chemicals, and metals. Diesel fuel just topped five bucks a gallon in the U.S. for the first time since late 2022. Fertilizer prices also hit their highest levels since 2022, obviously a negative for food inflation.

Jonathan Kitchen Thoma Bravo co-founder Orlando Bravo said that many software companies will be hurt by artificial intelligence. “There are many, many software companies in the public markets that will be disrupted from AI,” Bravo said in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday. “Those companies were going to be disrupted anyway. AI will create that disruption a lot faster and some of the decreases in their valuation are very warranted, and we would have no interest in buying those companies." Bravo's comments come after software stocks have been severely hurt in recent months on fears that AI companies will be able to replace some of the software names. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF has dropped almost 20% this year. Bravo added that some software names have taken “unjustified” hits 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,” Bravo added. Bravo said that he's confident in the 77 companies that the tech-focused private equity firm owns. "For the most part, our companies are crushing it," Bravo added. "Our companies are incredibly positioned to be winners in the agentic era. Our companies are well on their way toward becoming AI-centric companies."

A day after Jensen Huang unveiled a new chip and updated guidance at Nvidia's annual GTC conference, the stock is ... not doing much. That raises the question: Was this year's keynote a disappointment? Has the stock simply run out of steam? Nvidia has one of the most frustrating stocks in the market, especially for fundamental investors like us. The problem isn't that the stock has been flat for eight months; it's that the stock has been flat despite positive updates after positive updates, including blockbuster earnings reports. That makes it a classic case of a broken stock, not a broken company. What we heard at GTC demands that we maintain a position in the name and reminds us that this remains a stock to be owned long-term, not traded. For those who don't own any Nvidia shares, the muted response to a remarkable keynote presents a buying opportunity. There are many reasons a stock gets stuck. In the case of Nvidia, it may have something to do with the options market and hedging activities on the part of the liquidity providers known as market makers and large shareholders that essentially render the stock "pinned" around current levels. Without getting too far into the weeds, the main point is that the stock's lack of momentum may be tied to market mechanics more than anything else. Could there be other forces keeping a lid on the stock? Sure. One could always blame investor sentiment, but it's hard to believe they're souring on a company that keeps humming. After all, the consolidation certainly isn't due to a lack of growth. Annual revenue growth is set to accelerate over the next two quarters. What about further out on the horizon, because we know some investors always seem to be worried that AI spending is peaking? Well, one of the big headlines from Jensen's keynote was the disclosure that Nvidia has high-confidence visibility into at least $1 trillion in revenue from Blackwell and Rubin between 2025 and 2027. In effect, Jensen told us to expect several bi...

Key Points Shares of neocloud platform provider CoreWeave have fallen 55% from their 2025 highs. The company has grown revenue from $229 million in 2023 to $5.1 billion in 2025. Investors are concerned about capex spending eating into profitability. 10 stocks we like better than CoreWeave › It's harder than ever to find bargains among artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. Top AI stocks, like chipmaker Nvidia and hyperscaler Microsoft, already have multitrillion-dollar valuations. Meanwhile, smaller AI companies, like memory-chip maker Micron Technology and data center infrastructure specialist Vertiv have seen their share prices skyrocket by 200% or more over the last year alone. That's been great for existing shareholders, but not so good for those hoping to buy in now. Instead, it may be worth looking at an AI company that the market has left for dead for the past six months: AI cloud provider CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV). Here's how this beaten-down AI stock could surprise investors in 2026. 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.

The dollar index (DXY00) on Tuesday fell by -0.14%. The dollar gave up overnight gains and turned lower on Tuesday as T-note yields fell after the weekly ADP employment change showed the fewest new jobs added in five weeks, a dovish factor for Fed policy. The dollar extended its losses on Tuesday after stocks rallied, which curbed liquidity demand for the dollar. Losses in the dollar were limited after Feb pending home sales unexpectedly increased, and as the war against Iran enters its eighteenth day on Tuesday with no end in sight, boosting safe-haven demand for the dollar. Join 200K+ Subscribers: The ADP weekly employment change for the four weeks ending February 28 increased by +9,000, the smallest increase in five weeks and a sign of a slowdown in hiring by US employers. US Feb pending home sales unexpectedly rose +1.8% m/m, stronger than expectations of a -0.6% m/m decline. The 2-day FOMC meeting began on Tuesday, and market expectations are for the Fed to keep the federal funds target range unchanged at 3.50%-3.75%. With the Jan core PCE price index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, at 3.1%, well above the Fed’s 2.0% target, the Fed is expected to signal an extended pause ahead. Swaps markets are discounting the odds at 3% for a -25 bp rate cut at the Tue/Wed FOMC meeting. The dollar continues to be undercut by a poor outlook for interest rate differentials, with the FOMC expected to cut interest rates by at least -25 bp in 2026, while the BOJ and ECB are expected to raise rates by at least +25 bp in 2026. EUR/USD (^EURUSD) on Tuesday rose by +0.30%. The dollar’s weakness on Tuesday supported gains in the euro. However, the upside in the euro was limited after today’s economic news showed the German Mar ZEW survey expectations of economic growth fell more than expected to an 11-month low. Also, Tuesday’s +2% increase in crude oil prices is negative for the euro, as higher crude prices are bearish for the Eurozone economy, which relies heavily on energy im...

April Nymex natural gas (NGJ26) on Tuesday closed up +0.010 (+0.33%). Nat-gas prices settled slightly higher on Tuesday, gaining on carryover support from a +1% rally in European nat-gas prices on supply concerns after operations were suspended at the Shah gas field in the United Arab Emirates when an Iranian drone struck it. Don’t Miss a Day: Nat-gas prices gave up most of their advance on Tuesday amid warming US weather forecasts, potentially curbing nat-gas heating demand. The Commodity Weather Group said Tuesday that forecasts shifted warmer, with above-average temperatures expected across the western half of the US through March 26. Nat-gas prices surged to a 3-year high earlier this month due to the war in Iran. On March 2, Qatar shut its Ras Laffan plant, the world's largest natural gas export facility, after it was targeted by an Iranian drone attack. The Ras Laffan plant accounts for about 20% of global liquefied natural gas supply, and its closure could boost US nat-gas exports. Also, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the war in Iran has sharply curtailed nat-gas supplies to Europe and Asia. US (lower-48) dry gas production on Tuesday was 112.1 bcf/day (+4.2% y/y), according to BNEF. Lower-48 state gas demand on Tuesday was 103.7 bcf/day (+30.7% y/y), according to BNEF. Estimated LNG net flows to US LNG export terminals on Tuesday were 20.0 bcf/day (+1.7% w/w), according to BNEF. Projections for higher US nat-gas production are bearish for prices. On February 17, the EIA raised its forecast for 2026 US dry nat-gas production to 109.97 bcf/day from last month's estimate of 108.82 bcf/day. US nat-gas production is currently near a record high, with active US nat-gas rigs posting a 2.5-year high last Friday. As a positive factor for gas prices, the Edison Electric Institute reported last Wednesday that US (lower-48) electricity output in the week ended March 7 rose +1.00% y/y to 78,133 GWh (gigawatt hours). Also, US electricity output in the 52-week ...

US actor Sean Penn has been gifted an Oscar-shaped award made from war-damaged rail metal by Ukraine, after he skipped Sunday's ceremony to visit the war-torn country. Penn, 65, won his third Academy Award for his supporting actor role in political thriller One Battle Another but was absent from the ceremony. In a video posted by Oleksandr Pertsovskyi, the CEO of Ukrainian Railways, Pertsovskyi tells Penn: "You're missing Oscars... So we made this one. This is from the railcar that was damaged by the Russians". A long-time advocate for Ukraine, Penn has visited several times since the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of the country four years ago. He gifted one of his Oscars to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2022. More on this story.

Lululemon ( LULU ) issues cautious guidance despite topping quarterly expectations Lululemon ( LULU ) beat top- and bottom-line expectations for the fourth quarter but shares traded defensively on downbeat guidance, increased tariff costs, and continued weakness in its Americas segment. Revenue came in at $3.6B, with a 17% increase in international markets offset by a 4% decline in the Americas. Net income of $5.01 per share beat estimates of $4.78 but declined from $6.14 per share a year ago.

Words options trading written on a book by Vitalii Vodolazskyi via Shutterstock Most options traders start the same way. They buy calls or puts… and hope the stock makes a big move fast enough to win. But there’s a problem: Time decay. Even if you’re right on direction, your trade can still lose money if the move isn’t strong enough — or doesn’t happen quickly. That’s where credit spreads come in. Long Options vs. Credit Spreads In this recent video explainer , options expert Rick Orford describes two ways to express the same market view: 1. Long Options (Speculative) Buy a call → need price to move higher Buy a put → need price to move lower There’s high upside potential with this type of premium buying options strategy… but there’s also high dependency on timing. The stock has to move far enough, fast enough, to overcome the impact of time decay on the option’s premium. 2. Credit Spreads (Risk-Defined) Sell a put → bullish view Sell a call → bearish view To create a credit spread, you’d buy the same type of option at a deeper out-of-the-money strike, which limits risk. Now, instead of needing a big move… You just need the stock to stay on the right side of your short strike. Why This Matters With credit spreads: You collect premium upfront Your risk is defined You don’t need a massive move to win For example: A bull put spread profits if the stock stays above your strike A bear call spread profits if the stock stays below your strike This shifts your edge from prediction → probability How to Find These Trades Faster Instead of manually searching for setups, you can use Barchart tools to filter for high-probability trades. With the Options Screener , you can: Scan for bull put and bear call spreads Filter by days to expiration (30–45 days) Analyze probability of profit Compare max risk vs. reward You can also use: The Real Takeaway Long options can deliver big wins. But they require precision and timing. Credit spreads offer a different approach: More consistency. ...
