PRESS RELEASE

The technology company's stock got a nudge from a big-name analyst. The fact that a major player in the technology space just became a shareholder, however, is an even-bigger deal.

Guido Mieth/DigitalVision via Getty Images Key takeaways 1 The fund underperformed its benchmark Underperformance mainly resulted from stock selection in the industrials, information technology (IT) and financials sectors. Stronger stock selection in the consumer discretionary and energy sectors partially offset these results. 2 Portfolio activity There was no significant change to overall positioning as we sought to keep most sector, factor and other macro-related exposures similar to the S&P 500 Index. 3 US equity markets declined Amid heightened volatility sparked by geopolitical tensions, rising energy prices and artificial intelligence-related (AI) investor concerns, US equities fell during the quarter. The S&P 500 Index returned -4.33%, driven by declines in the IT and financials sectors. Investment objective The fund seeks capital appreciation. Fund facts Fund AUM ($M) 10,365.30 Portfolio managers Mani Govil, Benjamin Ram Manager perspective and outlook US financial markets experienced a volatile first quarter, marked by shifting monetary policy expectations, geopolitical instability and uneven economic data. Equities started the year with momentum as earnings remained solid and market leadership broadened beyond mega cap growth stocks. Volatility rose later in the quarter due to the Iran conflict, higher energy prices and concerns about AI disruption. Economic growth remained positive but showed signs of softening, as job gains slowed, unemployment edged higher and inflation stayed above the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) 2% target. Following three interest rate cuts in late 2025, the Fed left the federal funds rate unchanged during the quarter, signaling a more cautious stance with rates staying "higher for longer" in response to persistent inflation and a cooling labor market. Equity markets declined amid heightened volatility, with the S&P 500 Index returning -4.33%. Energy stocks outperformed on rising oil prices, while financials, consumer discretionary and...

Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) , a developer of electric vertical takeoff and landing ( eVTOL ) aircraft, went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) on Sept. 17, 2021. Its stock opened at $9.90 per share, but it now trades at about $6. Archer's stock slumped after it missed its own production targets and posted steep losses. It's only manufactured two eVTOLs so far, compared to its original targets of producing ten eVTOLs in 2024 and 250 eVTOLs in 2025. In 2025, it generated less than $1 million in revenue (from agreements and small milestone payments) but posted a net loss of $618 million. That seems like a bleak situation for a company with a market cap of $4.85 billion. But if Archer overcomes its growing pains, it might generate massive gains for its patient long-term investors.

Bank of America: How I Double The Average Dividend Yield The Investment Doctor | Buy As I own a few series of preferred stock issued by Bank of America ( BAC ), I try to keep an eye on the bank's financial performance on a quarterly basis. As the preferred shares tend to be non-cumulative in nature, I have to make sure I could try to spot any (financial) issues should they arise. As I wanted to add some duration to the portfolio, I'm keeping an eye on the so-called busted preferred shares, which currently offer a dividend yield of just under 6%. While that's of course not shockingly high, I'm fine with locking in that yield for a prolonged period of time (of course on the condition the financial results of the bank remain strong; should the situation deteriorate, I may have to reduce my exposure).

The company has experienced significant operational improvement over the last few months, as a result of cost reductions and AI-based demand. Additionally, the company reported a gross margin of 2.4% and significantly reduced its cash burn YoY in Q4. This provides evidence that Project Quantum Leap has had some success. That, in addition to an expected EBITDA-positive transition by late 2026, suggests that the company is moving from capital-...

Cecilie_Arcurs/E+ via Getty Images ZipRecruiter’s ( ZIP ) latest earnings call offered another window into a U.S. labor market that continues to function but lacks the urgency seen during the post-pandemic hiring surge. “The job market remains in a sluggish hiring backdrop,” ZipRecruiter CFO David Travers said during the company’s Q1 2026 earnings call , characterizing current conditions as “a subdued but relatively stable environment.” Employers appear cautious and slower to convert job openings into actual hires—consistent with a broader labor picture marked by low churn, diminished job-switching power and cooling momentum that has yet to fully break. “In Q1, the quits rate and total hires stayed near their lowest levels since 2015, while job openings were down 3% year-over-year,” Travers noted. " In spite of this subdued hiring environment, ZipRecruiter outperformed our Q1 results, and we believe this is due to our product improvements and the efficacy of our marketplace." The sentiment extends to both sides of the market: employers are holding back, while job seekers are tempering expectations to match the slower hiring climate, he explained. U.S. nonfarm payroll growth last month exceeded consensus figures while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%. The labor force participation rate ticked down to 61.8% from. 61.9% prior.

When buying individual shares of companies, you may go in concentrated or in a calculated and diversified manner. An example of going into a theme with several names at once would be focusing on a certain sector. You may be expecting this sector to mean revert [being a contrarian], or possibly trying to get the best momentum names in sectors with the most upside in the near term [trend following]. Brokerages are now offering fractional ownership. Schwab, and a few other brokerages that I know of offer fractional share ownership, including: Fidelity Robinhood Interactive Brokers These products now afford you the ability to buy shares in exact dollar amounts. I don't have accounts on all of these platforms, thus I'm only taking a look at Schwab's program and how it could be utilized. I took it for a quick test drive and purchased $24 of Waste Management ( WM ) stock. I bought a bit over 1/10th of a share. I want to emphasize that this is in no way an endorsement of Schwab's platform, just simply the only one of this group that I personally have access to. Any of the mentioned brokers should have the same functionality, with more or fewer stocks and ETFs to select from. How it works schwab.com The pitch here by Schwab is fairly clear. This seems to be aimed at the lower end of retail that might want to own a variety of stocks, yet not have the right amount of funds to do so. There is a minimum of $5 per share purchase price in your selections at Schwab, which can buy you any fraction, or combination of whole shares and fractions, in any stock you choose from in the S&P 500 ( SP500 ).

【有線新聞】警方發表網絡安全報告，發現本地機構系統安全漏洞已成為本港主要的網絡威脅，又表示黑客和騙徒近年多了運用人工智能，警方要以科技應對科技。 跨國網上學習管理平台Canvas遭黑客入侵，令全球近萬間教育機構受影響，這類涉及入侵系統的案件亦已成為本港最常見的網絡威脅。警方網罪科發布新一份《網絡安全報告》，去年全年偵測到154萬項針對香港的網絡威脅情報，當中34%針對本地機構系統安全漏洞。網絡安全及科技罪案調查科總警司林焯豪：「任何雲端平台也有風險，如果他們在登入或者在端口漏洞做得不好的時候，被發現漏洞會有很大問題。所以在揀選一些工具時候，要留意一些網絡安全的需要。」 科技罪案數字方面，今年首季涉及入侵系統活動罪案損失金額按年上升七成，而整體科技罪案就錄得6,504宗，比去年同期下跌了約一成半，損失金額亦減少了一成，不過警方指仍不能忽視人工智能以及量子科技等技術帶來的潛在威脅。林焯豪：「看到黑客是用人工智能，騙徒又用人工智能，其實我們要面對這個問題，沒辦法不用科技去應對，我們策略也是用科技應對科技。市民日常可用的防騙視伏APP，都加入了人工智能數據分析的內容，自動梳理每天進來的情報，在最快的時間希望可以回饋市民。」 警方又會與國際刑警組織合作，加強跨境情報交流，又會舉辦研討會和跨部門演習等，提升各界應變能力。

primeimages/E+ via Getty Images Fears that artificial intelligence could replace millions of workers are growing, but economist Kathryn Anne Edwards argued that the deeper issue is the fragile structure of the U.S. labor market itself. In a Bloomberg Opinion column, Edwards said anxiety around AI-driven job losses reflected more than fears of automation. Instead, she argued that workers were reacting to an economy increasingly divided between secure, high-paying jobs and lower-wage positions with fewer benefits and less stability. Edwards noted that top earners in the U.S. workforce now make dramatically more than the majority of workers, while many lower-income households continue to face unpredictable monthly earnings and limited access to healthcare, retirement plans, and paid leave. The column argued that losing a high-quality job in today’s economy often means a sharp decline in financial security, making the threat of AI disruption especially unsettling for middle-class workers. Rather than relying on universal basic income proposals backed by some AI executives, Edwards called for broader structural reforms aimed at strengthening the labor market itself. She pointed to policies such as universal paid leave, expanded childcare access, stronger labor protections, and easier unionization as ways to reduce economic insecurity. Edwards also pushed back against the idea that mass AI-driven unemployment was unavoidable. Instead, she argued policymakers still had the ability to shape how the economy responds to technological change. According to Edwards, AI was exposing long-standing weaknesses in the American economy, including inequality, unstable work, and the shrinking availability of middle-class jobs.
