How fast is fast enough? That’s a question to pose to Amazon, which is kicking its already brisk deliveries into high gear with one-hour and three-hour shipping across select U.S. cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville and Washington, D.C., in its latest bid to leave the competition in the dust. “Our customers are busier than ever and are looking for new ways to save time while keeping ...
How fast is fast enough? That’s a question to pose to Amazon, which is kicking its already brisk deliveries into high gear with one-hour and three-hour shipping across select U.S. cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville and Washington, D.C., in its latest bid to leave the competition in the dust. “Our customers are busier than ever and are looking for new ways to save time while keeping their households running,” Udit Madan, senior vice president of worldwide operations at the e-tail Goliath, said in a press release Tuesday. “We saw an opportunity to use our unique operational expertise and delivery network to help make customers’ lives a little easier while unlocking even more value for Prime members.” The Everything Store said the new delivery options will be flagged next to more than 90,000 eligible products, including pantry staples, health and beauty items, over-the-counter medications, toys, clothing and electronics. Customers can also use “in 1 hour” and “in 3 hours” search filters or browse a dedicated online storefront where those options are available. One-hour delivery will roll out across hundreds of locations, from smaller cities like Des Moines, Iowa, to American Fork, Utah, Amazon said. Three-hour delivery will extend even further, reaching cities of all sizes and suburban spots like Cornwall, Pennsylvania, and Harrah, Oklahoma. Both will be available seven days a week as coverage continues to expand. The Seattle-based firm has been racing against its rivals. Last October, Walmart updated its online shopping experience with a “Get It Now” feature promising Walmart+ members delivery in as little as 46 minutes for a $10 fee—a feat made possible by tapping real-time inventory data from more than 4,600 locations nationwide to sidestep shipping delays tied to warehouse fulfillment. Gig platforms such as DoorDash, Instacart and Uber Eats are also jockeying for customers with more money than time. Many promise drop-offs in under an hour. Amazon say...

Brian Bolan is the aggressive growth stock strategist at Zacks Investment Research and his big idea this week is a quick look at a space stock and Tesla. Brian then focus on another Irishman at Zacks, Jermey Mullin. Some good natured digs at the editor of the Counterstrike portfolio come from a deep seeded respect for the excellent trader that Jeremy . First up is Starfighers Space FJET doesn’t have a Zacks Rank just yet and Brian discusses why that is the case and what needs to happen for a stock to get a Zacks Rank. Brian met with company management last year and one of their venture backers Fortuna Investments and continues to follow this start up. Next up is Tesla TSLA which is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and it has an F for Value and a C for Growth. Brian brings this stock up because he likes the long term play as he is banking on the success of robo taxis and the Optimus robot. The editor of the Counterstrike portfolio has a different take and is short the stock via an ETF. Brian then closes out the video talking about Jeremy Mullin and pokes a little fun at him and hints at a long lost brother that has a similar name. It is all in jest on this St Patrick’s Day – some good natured Irish humor between two Irishmen. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

Just_Super/iStock via Getty Images Standard Lithium Ltd. ( SLI ) has now pulled back after surging due to higher lithium prices. The lithium miner has promising lithium projects in Arkansas and Texas in the Smackover formation, but Standard Lithium is still years away from production. My investment thesis remains Bullish on the stock, but the easy money has already been made with the re-rating of Standard Lithium to above $4. Source: Finviz Lithium Back In Demand Standard Lithium has surged in the last year due to the increasing demand for lithium from both global EV demand and battery storage. The U.S. stock market got overly negative on lithium miners back in 2025 due to signs of weak EV demand in the U.S., but global demand for lithium from battery-related projects remains strong. Lithium prices recently tripled to $158,000 CNY/t as the market has started to realize the forecasts for lithium demand to soar through 2035 are actually still in the forecasts. The market actually forecasts a 1.1 MT LCE gap could occur by 2035, with supply only doubling from now to 3.2 MT in 2035. Source: Standard Lithium Q4'25 presentation Lithium mining leader Albemarle ( ALB ) has led the rebound by guiding to 15% to 40% lithium demand growth this year due to stationary storage expansion. At the prior lows, the stock market had decided lithium demand wouldn't materialize at this pace. The Standard Lithium story is a little more complex, with the company lacking any near-term lithium supplies. The company has a couple of lithium projects in the works, but the earliest project isn't targeted to reach production until 2028 with 22,500 TPA. Source: Standard Lithium Q4'25 presentation The East Texas asset has an ultimate goal of reaching production of over 100,000 TPA of LCE in Texas through multiple phases. The project has 2.2 MT of total inferred LCE, with additional large resources of potassium chloride and bromide potentially providing nice offsets to the already low costs to produce...

Shares advanced as investors responded to optimism around a “memory supercycle,” sold-out high-bandwidth memory capacity, and upcoming Q2 earnings, with attention on AI data-center demand and guidance. The company’s trading volume reached 42.1 million shares, which is nearly 20% above compared with its three-month average of 35.2 million shares. Micron Technology went public in 1984 and has grown 32644% since its IPO. How the markets moved today The S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.25%) added 0.25% to finish at 6,716.09 while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +0.47%) rose 0.47% to close at 22,479.53. Among semiconductors, Sandisk (SNDK +2.37%) closed at $720.17, up 2.35%, while Western Digital (WDC +10.03%) finished at $313.81, gaining 9.64% as storage peers tracked the AI and memory upcycle. What this means for investors Micron Technology rose as investors continued to price in a memory upcycle tied to artificial intelligence infrastructure, with sentiment supported by reports that its 2026 high-bandwidth memory capacity is already sold out. That has reinforced the view that tight HBM supply could support premium pricing as demand from AI servers and accelerators remains strong. The stock’s move also came with shares trading near record levels, a sign that the market is assigning more value to Micron’s AI exposure than to a typical memory-cycle rebound. The advance also reflected positioning ahead of Micron’s upcoming quarterly report, where Wall Street is looking for about $8.74 in earnings per share on roughly $19.03 billion in revenue.

Cibus (CBUS) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.42 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.43. This compares to a loss of $0.87 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +2.33%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this developer and licensor of plant traits for seed companies would post a loss of $0.41 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.44, delivering a surprise of -7.32%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. Cibus, which belongs to the Zacks Agriculture - Operations industry, posted revenues of $1.06 million for the quarter ended December 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 27.85%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.21 million. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates 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. Cibus shares have added about 104.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 2.1%. What's Next for Cibus? While Cibus 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 r...

Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., March 17, 2026. Brendan McDermid | Reuters Stock futures traded near the flat line on Tuesday night as traders awaited the Federal Reserve's rate policy decision. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 19 points, or 0.04%. S&P 500 futures dropped 0.04%, while Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.02%. Major U.S. stock averages rose on Tuesday, but closed off their highs of the session. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that the U.S. did not need help from NATO or other countries. Trump's post came after he signaled on Monday that a coalition may be formed to help protect ships attempting to travel through the Strait of Hormuz. The S&P 500 finished the session 0.3% higher, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed nearly 0.5%. The Dow added 46.85 points, or about 0.1%. Crude oil prices continued their climb, with West Texas Intermediate futures advancing nearly 3% to close at $96.21. Brent futures advanced 3.2% to settle at $103.42 — the highest close since August 2022. A wave of Iranian attacks on the United Arab Emirates' energy infrastructure also sparked fears about crude and fuel shipping. Investors are now looking ahead to the Fed's interest rate decision expected on Wednesday. Markets are expecting the central bank to keep interest rates unchanged in a range between 3.5% to 3.75%. Traders will be watching for any guidance from Fed Chair Jerome Powell on whether oil prices could impact future monetary policy "Markets continue to trade with some hesitation ahead of [Wednesday's] Fed decision and elevated oil prices. While the Fed is likely to hold rates steady [Wednesday's], investors will be looking to see how policymakers frame the Iran conflict in the context of inflation risks and potential impacts on the growth outlook," said Anthony Saglimbene, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial. Saglimbene said he also believes the healthy earnings backdrop is a...

Chelsea huddled once and, as if in an act of resistance, huddled again. They gathered once on either side of the centre circle before kick-off, apparently unconcerned by the kerfuffle that followed their weekend antics, and it was the biggest fight they put up on a night that underlined their distance from Europe’s elite. Can anyone say, with hand on heart, that this project is going well? Any sense they could overturn a three-goal disadvantage was nipped in the bud by two quick Paris Saint-Germain goals and, by the time Senny Mayulu had added the third, there was little mistaking how some of the home fans felt about the early trajectory of Liam Rosenior’s tenure. In fairness, Rosenior cannot call on players with the sheer presence and brio of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia or Bradley Barcola, whose interventions in the opening quarter of an hour killed the tie. He also cannot bargain for a litany of injuries and Trevoh Chalobah departing on a stretcher five minutes from the end compounded a bleak night. Rosenior has two months to make a success of the season but, on and off the pitch, Chelsea must project themselves far more strongly than this. Even if the size of the deficit appeared daunting this was a chance for Chelsea to make their supporters feel something, anything. They have barely done so in the BlueCo era but could attempt to channel the muscle memory of a 3-0 win against the same opponents in the Club World Cup final. Perhaps Stamford Bridge, encouraging if not overly expectant at the outset, might also harness the spirit of the night almost 14 years ago to the day when Napoli were overhauled spectacularly en route to Champions League glory. That optimism was obliterated almost as soon as Chelsea had completed their multiple pre-match conflabs. Kvaratskhelia’s finish was unerring but entirely avoidable for a home side whose start, while enthusiastic, had been palpably skittish. Marauding at one end, João Pedro ignored exhortations to shoot and instead conceded a ...

Oil held a gain as the war in the Middle East dragged on, with Iran confirming the death of its security chief in another intensification of the conflict that’s roiled energy markets. West Texas Intermediate was little changed near $96 a barrel, after adding almost 3% on Tuesday, while Brent settled above $103. Ali Larijani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and a key pillar of the country’s wartime leadership, was killed, according to state media. The death came as President Donald Trump has been seeking to restart trade flows through the Strait of Hormuz to ease a growing global energy crisis. While the US leader pressed allies to send warships to help reopen the artery that normally carries about a fifth of the world’s oil, his efforts were rebuffed. “The Larijani killing is a big deal, and may make Iran more desperate to disrupt oil flows,” said Aaron Stein, president of the Foreign Policy Research Institute . “Trump is obviously being pressured to escort tankers — so we’re in for the possibility of very tense US operations in ways I’m certain the Navy would like to avoid.” To get Bloomberg’s Energy Daily newsletter in your inbox, click here . WTI for April delivery fell 0.1% to $96.16 a barrel at 6:01 a.m. in Singapore. Brent for May settlement closed 3.2% higher at $103.42 a barrel on Tuesday.
