JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Investment Thesis Concentrix Corporation ( CNXC ) is one of those stocks that appears to be significantly more damaged on the charts than it is in its financials. That said, I have to admit that since I wrote about Concentrix two times before, the stock has been down roughly 50 percent. For me, I think it makes sense to be honest because the stock price today does not simply reflect a poor first quarter by the company; rather, the current stock price reflects an investor community that has lost confidence in Concentrix's ability to execute upon the planned business model transition. In my opinion, this is not enough to turn me constructive on adding, but it is enough to keep me in the name. At the time of writing, Concentrix's valuation as measured by its price-to-earnings is approximately 2x forward EPS. Additionally, management expects Adjusted Free Cash Flow to range between $630M and $650M in fiscal year 2026 . The company generated $2.5B in revenue for the most recent fiscal quarter, which represented a 5.4% YoY increase. This type of data would normally represent a company facing considerable difficulties. However, I view this as a company in the process of undergoing a complex and expensive transition, with pressured margins and elevated debt levels, but ultimately a true and sizeable customer base, solid expected future cash flows, and tangible evidence of a meaningful transition into AI-driven customer experience solutions. Therefore, my rating is Hold. I will not be growing in my current position. I know the company is under pressure during this transition, but I still believe the story deserves time to play out, and I will explain why in the sections below. Those that have not yet purchased shares may want to wait for clearer evidence that the transition is working before stepping in. Why This Story Has Become So Complex for the Market It must be said that Concentrix is ​​not operating in a normal context for th...

Over the last 7 days, the United States market has dropped 2.3%, yet it remains up by 13% over the past year with earnings expected to grow by 16% annually.

The theft of the ex-Labour chief of staff’s mobile has raised eyebrows in the context of the scandal over ex-ambassador Morgan McSweeney is not the first person to have had their phone snatched on a London street, but the fact he was at the time Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, and that his phone most likely contained messages to and from Peter Mandelson, has prompted questions. So what do we know about the circumstances surrounding the theft of McSweeney’s phone? Continue reading...

As travelers continue to face hours-long airport security lines during the busy spring-break season, some airlines are making it easier and less expensive to change flights.

Rachata Amnataree/iStock via Getty Images Commentary as of 12/31/25 The fund posted returns of 2.38% (Institutional shares)( MASPX ) and 2.31% (Investor A shares, without sales charge)( MDSPX ) for the fourth quarter of 2025. The fund's outperformance of its benchmark was led by sentiment and macro-related insights. Sentiment signals, particularly those looking at informed investor positioning, were the strongest contributors. Macro insights that identified trends in wage growth and industry revenues also added positively. From a sector-positioning perspective, the fund remained largely neutral. At quarter-end, there were slight overweight positions in the health care and industrials sectors, and underweight holdings in the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors. Contributors Sentiment insights were the strongest contributors to performance. Signals that tracked short-seller activity helped align positioning with market flows, delivering positive results, particularly in the financials sector. Another sentiment measure that captured institutional interest via corporate access data added value in the information technology and industrials sectors. Additionally, value signals contributed, including one that emphasized operating cash flow and another that followed broker price target revisions, with both supporting stock selection across several sectors. Detractors Macro-related signals were the main detractors. Style-timing and economic similarity models struggled to anticipate sector rotation, which led to weaker positioning in areas including the energy and consumer staples sectors. Certain fundamental quality measures detracted, particularly one that penalized inconsistent language in earnings calls as it missed gains in speculative growth areas. Retail- and app-based sentiment signals weighed on performance in select consumer stocks. Further insight Global equities ended a strong 2025 near record highs, though the final weeks showed that key market debates r...

Harry Wilson says he has never seen himself as a replacement for Gareth Bale in the Wales team despite his fine recent international form.

More financial firms are wading into prediction markets in Canada, working to get the green light from regulators to bring a popular betting product to traders. Wealthsimple said on Wednesday it has received approval from the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization to offer trading in contracts tied to economic indicators, financial markets and climate data. The Toronto-based firm, which has more than C$100 billion ($72.4 billion) in assets under administration, is following Interactive Brokers Group Inc. , which announced the launch of Canadian prediction markets almost a year ago. Prediction markets companies have grown rapidly to have annual revenue of around $2 billion , and that’s likely to surge to more than $10 billion by 2030, analysts at Citizens Financial said late last year. One of the biggest players, Kalshi Inc. , was valued at $22 billion in a recent financing round, Bloomberg News reported earlier this month. However, Canadian regulators have been more reluctant than US watchdogs to allow a wide variety of such bets. While the newly approved firms are able to offer certain forecast contracts, some of the hottest prediction markets trades in the US — sports and elections — aren’t available in Canada. The Canadian Securities Administrators, a group of provincial regulators, banned selling or advertising short-term binary options — contracts based on a yes-or-no proposition — in 2017 due to the higher risk they carry. “Canada appears to be permitting some forecast contracts on a controlled basis through a registered dealer structure, not broadly legalizing prediction markets,” said Noah Billick, a partner and director of regulatory, funds and compliance at Renno & Co . He added that even though contracts of 30 days or longer fall outside the CSA’s binary option restriction, it “does not mean every event contract is suddenly lawful for retail distribution.” Interactive Brokers allows Canadians to bet on events such as Federal Reserve decisions, inflat...

As the saying goes, there are many possible reasons for an insider to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy -- they expect to make money. So let's look at two noteworthy recent insider buys. On Monday, Janus Living's Director, Charles J. Herman Jr., made a $110,000 purchase

Five Below's ability to capitalize on the hottest new toy on the market sets shares up for success, according to Wolfe Research. The mystery squishy dumpling, created by toy manufacturer RMS USA, is the latest viral toy trend gaining traction on TikTok and other online platforms. Mystery dumplings are shaped like a steamed bao bun and packaged in a miniature bamboo steamer, coming in a variety of colors and rarity. And much like other blind boxes that took off in popularity last year, consumers are unable to see which version they've bought until after purchase and opening the package. Wolfe Research analyst Spencer Hanus pointed to Five Below's ability to capitalize on this trend as a catalyst for the off-price retailer. "Comp momentum at FIVE remains the strongest in our coverage, and our store checks this past weekend suggest the 'Dumpling' craze is accelerating. This trend is helping to drive incremental traffic, higher ticket, and greater awareness of Five Below," he wrote. "If the current demand lasts through 2026, it could drive an incremental 100-200bps to the comp. While investors are already expecting a beat in 1Q, this is further proof that the strategy is working, even if demand for this trend slows quicker than expected," he added. The analyst currently has an outperform rating on the stock. His new price target of $291, up from $275, implies an upside ahead of 26% from Tuesday's close. This mystery dumpling craze parallels that of plushy Labubu dolls, which became a worldwide sensation last year after Lisa, a performer in K-pop group Blackpink, was spotted sporting the toy. The dolls' popularity skyrocketed the revenue and shares of its maker, Pop Mart, which are listed in Hong Kong. "We don't think this trend is as big as others (yet), but it is a positive that they can chase these trends. The other swing factor is the attach of other items, and Five Below does have other products that fit this 'squishy' theme," Hanus added. The analyst also noted tha...

Doug Burgum, US secretary of the interior, at the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference in Houston, Texas, US, on Wednesday, March 25, 2026. F. Carter Smith | Bloomberg | Getty Images HOUSTON — Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said Wednesday that the U.S. recently brought back $100 million of gold from Venezuela. Burgum visited Venezuela with oil and mining executives earlier this month to meet with interim President Delcy Rodriguez. "There hadn't been a shipment of precious metals between Venezuela and America in over 20 years," Burgum told energy executives at S&P Global's CERAWeek conference in Houston. "At the end of the two days, we were able to bring home $100 million of gold — physically, the gold," the Interior secretary said. U.S. refiners will use the gold for commercial and consumer purposes, he said. The U.S. captured former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a military raid in January, leaving the rest of the regime largely in place. The Trump administration is cooperating closely with Rodriguez, vice president under Maduro. The Interior secretary said he met with Rodriguez for 10 hours during his trip. President Donald Trump has been pressuring U.S. oil and gas executives to invest in Venezuela's energy sector. The South American nation is believed to possess the largest crude oil reserves in the world. Minerals and metals Beyond petroleum, however, the U.S. also sees a major opportunity to develop Venezuela's mineral and precious metal resources, Burgum said. The country also has vast coal resources that contain critical minerals, he said. "The mining opportunity — that's an industry that's been in complete collapse in Venezuela and they know that. It's down to just artisanal miners controlled by gangs, [with] probably some of the worst environmental practices in the world," Burgum said "They want a clean environment, they want to have modern investment, they want to see growth in their country," the Interior secretary said of the Rodriguez government. ...

Apollo Global Management Inc. ’s insurance arm was the second-biggest borrower last year in the Federal Home Loan Bank system, a Depression-era program designed to shore up mortgage lending that has morphed into a go-to — and controversial — source of cheap financing for banks and other financial institutions. Athene Holding Ltd. owed the FHLB $23.3 billion in loans, known as principal advances, as of Dec. 31, second only to Truist Financial Corp. and ahead of every major US bank. That’s up from 2024 , when Athene was the seventh-biggest borrower in the system with a balance of $15.6 billion. The US Congress set up the FHLB system in 1932 to make it easier for savings and loan associations, insurers and banks to access funds so they could finance more mortgages, though borrowers aren’t required to use the money for that specific purpose. Over time, the system has grown into a liquidity backstop for large institutions, with loan balances totaling $677 billion as of the end of 2025. The top 10 borrowers accounted for 25% of that amount. Insurance companies like Athene, which specializes in annuities, have been expanding their use of the system. Insurers’ FHLB borrowing has grown about 25% over the past two years and has tripled since 2013, data shows. Representatives for Apollo and its Athene arm didn’t respond to a request for comment. The FHLB system has faced criticism as the program has taken a more expansive role in the financial system, including during the 2023 regional banking crisis, when failed lenders including Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank were found to have tapped the program for billions.

Installed in my home, Bert is a conversation starter like no other. It usually begins with: ‘What on earth is that thing?’ I came across something that makes me happy every day. It’s a figurine of a cheery chef chap holding up a menu board in one hand and giving a big thumbs up with the other. I found it in a reclamation yard in Old Hill in the Black Country. It’s run by a bloke called Bert, who’s very funny in a bone-dry kind of way. The first time I met him he told me he was also a West Brom fan and asked me about our poor season. I told him I couldn’t face discussing them. Half an hour later, as I was negotiating a price for something, I asked him if there was a discount for West Brom fans. He looked at me and said, “You didn’t want to talk about them a minute ago.” There was no discount. Anyway, I decided to name my chef statue after him. Technically I suppose it’s more of a statuette but that’s a bit feminine-sounding for Bert. I was charmed by Bert – both Berts, actually, but here I refer to the statue – the moment I saw him but, as is the way of these things, I didn’t buy him because, you know, where do you put such an object? A week or two passed, though, and his cheeky little face kept coming to mind. So I went back to buy Bert from Bert and he was mine. And mine he will remain until death doth us part.

New council brings CEOs closer to policy

Racide Scott Modell, CEO of energy and geopolitical analysis firm Rapidan Energy Group, warned that the U.S. and Iran are headed toward military escalation despite market optimism about a potential ceasefire. In an interview with CNBC, Modell argued that oil prices ( CL1:COM ), ( CO1:COM ) should be higher given the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and that the physical realities of supply shortages will soon override the current narrative of de-escalation. The analyst dismissed the reported 15-point peace plan sent by the U.S. to Iran, noting that both nations hold “very, very extremist positions” that remain “entrenched.” Modell pointed out there are no indications of substantive talks occurring, stating, “There’s no way that President Trump can back out of this without opening the strait. So opening talks is a nonstarter for the Iranians at this point.” While oil prices ( CL1:COM ), ( CO1:COM ) have trended lower, Modell credited this to what he called a “master class in verbal intervention by the president” aimed at keeping markets calm. However, he cautioned that this approach has limits, predicting that “physical realities of markets, shortages, lack of tankers, fighting over barrels is going to take over.” Modell highlighted that the U.S. has amassed its largest military concentration in the Middle East since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, with thousands of troops now in theater. He suggested military action could begin as early as Friday, with potential moves to seize islands and initiate suppressive fire against Iranian positions disrupting tanker traffic. Iran has demanded five key points in exchange for ending the war while treating the Strait of Hormuz as what Modell described as their “own tollbooth”—a position he characterized as a “nonstarter” for the U.S. administration. The closure of the critical shipping lane has created an inflection point where military action appears to be the only remaining option. The analyst predicted that market sentiment would ...
