Kenneth Cheung/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images By this point, it comes as little surprise to most investors that growth stocks keep getting battered, as investors worry about the prospects of an extended war in the Middle East, high inflation that is preventing the Fed from cutting rates faster, and a shaky domestic macroeconomy. The stock market has entered into a "risk off" mode, and many of last year's biggest gainers have shed much of their gains. DoorDash ( DASH ) is exactly in this bucket. The food delivery platform has lost nearly 30% of its value this year and is down more than 40% from highs notched above $275 late last year. At the same time, however, the company has delivered excellent results in a tough economy, leading us to ask, at what point does this stock become deeply oversold? Data by YCharts I last wrote a buy article on DoorDash in November, when the stock was trading slightly above $200 per share. At the time, I had touted the company's acceleration in order growth rates even as many companies in the restaurant sector had showcased weakening same-restaurant sales. In the company's recently released Q4 earnings, that acceleration has only continued, increasing my confidence in the company's execution amid a choppy macro. The compression in valuation multiples alongside this year's declines is just an added plus on top. With all of these factors in mind, I'm reiterating my buy rating on DoorDash. As a reminder for investors who are newer to DoorDash, here is what I view to be the long-term bull case drivers for this company: DoorDash is achieving substantial growth acceleration at scale. Marketplace GOV, which is the total sum of all orders placed on the DoorDash platform, crossed the $100 billion mark in 2025. DoorDash's scale even slightly tops its next-largest rival, Uber Eats ( UBER ), and yet the company is still achieving meaningful acceleration. Deliveroo is opening up Europe for DoorDash. In October, the company closed its acquisition ...

Andrii Dodonov/iStock via Getty Images Introduction A few months ago, I discussed the preferred shares of Pearl Diver Credit Company ( PDCC ). In my conclusion, I argued I'd probably want to avoid the common stock, but I thought the preferred shares offered an excellent risk/reward ratio, as there is a mandatory call, and the required 200% net asset coverage, of course, is also an interesting feature. Now that the worries about the private credit market are accelerating, I wanted to have another look at the company and its preferred stock to see if the risk/reward ratio is still favorable. Data by YCharts The preferred shares enjoy a good position in the capital stack PDCC is a CEF focusing on CLO equity . One of the issues that likely has an impact on the appeal of PDCC is, of course, the exposure to software, as that accounts for 8.2% of the exposure . Top 10 industry exposure - PDCC While the fear that AI may disrupt the software sector is a real risk, PDCC's exposure to the sector appears to be manageable. This year will be an interesting year, as about a quarter of the CLO investments will see a reinvestment end date distribution for the CLO equity. CLO distribution charts - PDCC This will be important for PDCC as it will provide details on default rates and how wide open the financing window is for the respective borrowers. As you can see below, the fair value of the investments stood at approximately $140M at the end of 2025, which already includes almost $30M in revaluation losses. Assets and liabilities table - PDCC I'm of course interested in seeing the net investment income to determine how well the preferred dividends are covered. As you can see below, the CEF reported a total investment income of $22.8M, and recorded $9.9M in expenses for a total net investment income of $12.9M. Investment income table - PDCC Keep in mind that because the preferred stock has a mandatory call date, the preferred dividends are included in the 'interest expenses.' There's ...

If you wanted proof that the U.S. stock market is resilient, look no further than what's transpired this year. Investors have shown extreme concern about artificial intelligence's (AI's) impact on the economy, a weakening labor market, slowing growth, and the ongoing conflict in Iran, which has pushed oil above $100 per barrel and made investors start to worry about possible stagflation. Yet, as of this writing, the broader benchmark S&P 500 Index is down a measley 2% this year (as of March 17 close). That's despite major sell-offs in stock markets across Japan, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea, among others. Can anything stop the S&P 500? What is keeping this market so resilient Investors must always remember that the markets are unemotional, and money has no loyalty or moral compass. It often goes to the place where it can generate the best returns. That said, I think most are fairly surprised by the S&P 500's resilience. After all, oil prices have skyrocketed, and Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz to certain ships, through which one-fifth of the world's oil supply flows daily. Other tankers are simply avoiding the passage. There have also been reports of critical oil infrastructure being damaged in the Middle East, exacerbating concerns. Higher oil prices are likely to drive inflation higher, especially if the conflict in Iran is prolonged. Furthermore, recent data indicate the labor market may be weakening in the U.S., stoking stagflation fears. So, how has the U.S. market remained so resilient? Well, the market does not yet seem to believe that the conflict will be a prolonged affair that leads to boots on the ground. If the conflict is somewhat settled over the next few weeks, elevated oil prices could come back down. Furthermore, the conflict has led to a resurgence in the U.S. dollar, as investors have once again flocked to the world's reserve currency as a safe haven. The dollar had been weakening, as President Donald Trump's tariffs had led to a significan...

Over the last year, Micron Technology (MU 4.89%) has emerged as one of the most compelling stories in the artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor landscape. Following its 162% surge in just the last six months, Micron shares now hover around $440. The question smart investors are asking is whether this rise is a byproduct of a temporary boom or the beginning of a structural growth rally. Over the next three years, I'm forecasting Micron stock to soar even higher. Read on to find out why. What is driving Micron stock higher? AI hyperscalers are deploying millions of clusters of graphics processing units (GPUs) across their data centers. These structures consume high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for training and inference of generative AI models. Micron's recent ascent is fueled by explosive demand for these high-performance memory solutions -- supported by the $700 billion AI infrastructure buildout. The company's HBM3E and upcoming HBM4 products are already sold out for 2026 -- allowing the company to command premium pricing and widen the profit margins across its DRAM and NAND chip suites. As big tech continues allocating infrastructure budgets toward additional capacity solutions across memory and storage, Micron remains in a position to accelerate both revenue and earnings over the coming years.

In the past, memory cycles have been highly cyclical as they relied heavily on device upgrades from consumers and enterprises. Today's AI revolution is changing this narrative, though. Trends in digitization, 5G networks, and cloud storage were not as robust during prior memory cycles. But with the introduction of next-generation services across robotics, agentic AI, a...

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo has apologized for saying that chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and asthma are “fake”, insisting that his comments were not meant to be taken seriously. In an appearance on the Bring the Juice podcast, the 24-year-old was asked whether he believes CTE – a degenerative brain condition linked to repeated head trauma – is real. Skattebo called the condition an “excuse”, before making a similar claim about asthma. “Yeah, asthma’s fake too,” Skattebo said, adding that people should “just breathe air”. After receiving widespread backlash for his comments, Skattebo offered a retraction on social media. “I recently did an interview and had a lapse in judgment, which resulted in me making a tasteless joke about CTE and asthma. It was never my intention to downplay the seriousness of head injuries or asthma,” he wrote on X on Saturday. “I sincerely apologize to anyone that was offended by my remarks, and I assure you that I’ll be more mindful and respectful going forward.” CTE a condition that can cause mood swings, depression, suicidal thoughts and memory loss, was found in 110 of 111 former football players in a 2017 study. The condition, which is caused by repeated blows to the head, can only be diagnosed after death. The league finally acknowledged a link between football and the condition in 2016. Asthma affects hundreds of millions of people around the world and can lead to death in extreme cases. Skattebo’s mother, Becky Skattebo, replied to her son’s post saying she was asthmatic and his comments had been in jest. “If only people knew how many times cam had to “run and get mom’s inhaler” they’d realize the sarcasm,” she wrote. “You’ll never make everyone happy and you’ll never say all the right things and people are bound to spin something sooner or later in a direction it was never intended to go.” Skattebo was a popular figure with Giants fan in his rookie season in 2025 due to his physical running style. He scored sev...

Lyceum theatre, Sheffield Nineteenth-century verismo becomes 21st-century psychodrama, as English Touring Opera dramatise this tawdry tale of jealousy and violence with a keen eye for the dramatic image Heralding a new era, Pagliacci and The Gondoliers are the first English Touring Opera productions to premiere in Sheffield, the company’s new home city. If the latter was a palpable hit on opening night, Leoncavallo’s slice of operatic grand guignol was less so, despite director Eleanor Burke’s valiant attempt to turn 19th-century verismo into a 21st-century psychodrama. Some things work here and others don’t. Pointing up Nedda’s enduring love for Canio even as she plans to elope with Silvio heightens the final tragedy. Having the outstanding ETO ensemble portray the demons inside Canio’s head, urging him on to commit the final act of violence – here, strangling Nedda with a telephone cord – is a powerful device. Zeynep Kepekli’s meticulous lighting design ensures they are a watchful presence throughout while highlighting the prurient voyeurism that compels audiences to revel in other people’s domestic misfortunes.

AlexLMX/iStock via Getty Images Me, Before Seeking Alpha My journey on Seeking Alpha started as something that was between a challenge and a joke. But, before we get to that, you should know the broader picture so that you grasp better the opportunities and the hurdles I had to face, especially as I started. I'm Italian, but when I was a teenager, I lived in Texas for several years (back then, I used to speak with the drawl and twang typical of the Texan accent). I also spent a bit of time in Germany and Brazil, so I have a decent CV when it comes to living abroad. In this article, I will share with you the experience of an analyst overseas. I became an investor when I got married and my wife bore our first child. I thought about what I would have liked to pass on to my kids, both in terms of values and teachings, and in terms of assets. So, I started investing to create a portfolio that I mean to be part of the legacy I will leave behind. This immediately positions me as a long-term investor. Right off the bat, the first motivation for contributing to SA has to do with our answer to why we invest. Writing articles is a means to refine and test our research process, which can end up strengthened. Everything else stems from this core attempt: improve one's own skills. Onboarding Process To help my research, I landed on Seeking Alpha, and for a couple of years, I was just a user. Then, I noticed that some of the ideas that I was developing were not discussed by anyone. I submitted my first article. It was rejected. A few months later, I submitted a second article. Again, it was rejected. At this time, I was submitting my articles mostly as a game. I had fun jotting down the ideas and numbers I was collecting, and thought that they could be useful for Seeking Alpha. However, the two rejections made me consider that I had to improve something. Finally, I developed a very detailed idea on Ferrari N.V. ( RACE ), which I submitted. This time, the editor sent positive feedb...

What Do Bonds Know That The Stock Market Doesn't? Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, Most investors spend their time watching the S&P 500. That’s a mistake, because the credit market is the real “tell.” The bond market has been whispering a warning for weeks now, and credit spreads are now shouting it. As of this writing, the CDX Index, a benchmark measure of credit default swap spreads, has climbed to a nine-month high while the S&P 500 sits within 5% of its all-time peak. Over the past 20 years, every time that combination appeared, a bear market followed. Every single time. That’s a track record worth taking seriously, and credit spreads are critical to understanding market sentiment and predicting potential stock market downturns. A credit spread refers to the difference in yield between two bonds of similar maturity but different credit quality. This comparison often involves Treasury bonds (considered risk-free) and corporate bonds (which carry default risk) . By observing these spreads, investors can gauge risk appetite in financial markets. Such helps investors identify stress points that often precede stock market corrections. The chart shows the annual rate of change in the S&P 500 market index versus the yield spread between Moody’s Baa corporate bond index (investment grade) and the 10-year US Treasury Bond yield. Rising yield spreads consistently coincide with lower annual returns in the financial markets. The reason is that credit is the lifeblood of the economy. Businesses borrow to operate, and consumers borrow to spend. As such, when the cost of that borrowing rises, particularly the premium lenders demand to extend credit to riskier borrowers, it signals that the economy is under stress. That “stress” directly affects forward earnings estimates and increases the likelihood of a valuation repricing. The “Junk to Treasury” spread is the clearest expression of this dynamic. Investors who buy high-yield bonds, the ones with a meani...
