Baloncici/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Thesis At first glance, GT may look like a buying opportunity at these prices, but I do not want to buy it yet. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company ( GT ) is trading at/near its 52-week low. The consensus price target for GT is currently greater than the current market price. Since the previous Q1 earnings report, there does not seem to be anything new which has caused investors (and me) to change their views. Cost-cutting, asset sales, a higher premium product line, and potentially a margin expansion. Not a lot of excitement here. Honestly, I am very hesitant to invest in a turnaround simply due to the fact that the stock price has fallen. I will invest in a turnaround as long as I see evidence of a company with a changing trajectory. In the case of Goodyear, I continue to see numerous areas of concern relative to operational leverage, financial leverage, and the recent quarterly earnings reports, which have shown both some positives and negatives. Therefore, I remain neutral (Hold). If you were holding this security in your portfolio following this severe decline, I would suggest not selling it now; however, the final determination to hold or sell should depend upon the investor's goals/objectives and time horizon. Agar Capital, Bloomberg Terminal Q1 2026 Goodyear’s first quarter 2026 revenue totaled $3.881 billion, down 8.7% year over year. For Q1 2026, tire units declined 11.6% year over year, from 38.5 million to 34.0 million. The company reported segment operating income of $95 million, down $100 million from $195 million in the first quarter of 2025. Company Presentation Also, the segment operating income (SOI) margin was 2.4 percent, as opposed to 4.6 percent in the first quarter of last year. Earnings per share (EPS) before taxes adjusted to $(0.39) during the current reporting period compared to ($0.04) for the prior comparable year. While a somewhat mixed bag, the report was certainly not disastrous; however, the...

Earnings Call Insights: Laird Superfood (LSF) Q1 2026 Management view Jason Vieth (President, CEO & Director) framed Q1 as a turning point, saying, "The first quarter of 2026 marked a transformative milestone for Laird Superfood." He highlighted two acquisitions: "On March 12, we completed the acquisition of Navitas Organics" and "Just weeks after quarter end on April 21, we closed the acquisition of Terrasoul Superfoods." Jason Vieth (President, CEO & Director) detailed the financing and control implications: "The initial $50 million Series A preferred stock issuance in March funded the Navitas acquisition and the subsequent $60 million issuance in April funded the Terrasoul acquisition." He added, "Following these transactions, Nexus now holds approximately 73.8% of our common stock on a fully diluted as-converted basis, and we are operating as a controlled company under NYSE American rules." Jason Vieth (President, CEO & Director) emphasized integration progress and targeted savings: "We are already executing our integration playbook across the 3 businesses," and regarding Navitas, "we are attaining the expected synergies across the combined organization." He said the team is focused on "delivering the COGS, distribution and brokerage savings that we had planned for the second half of this year and beyond." Jason Vieth (President, CEO & Director) pointed to Q1 growth and near-term margin headwinds: "our Q1 company growth was 20% versus last year, driven by the wholesale channel in our Amazon platform and including more than 2 weeks of Navitas Organics post acquisition." He also said, "we had some margin pressure in Q1 related to inventory that was costed at higher commodity prices and with tariffs," adding, "we expect that to mitigate as we move forward through the balance of the year since the commodity prices have already come down and tariffs are now removed from our products." Jason Vieth (President, CEO & Director) announced marketing leadership changes and ...

Observability startup Raindrop AI ’s new open source, MIT Licensed " Workshop " tool, launched today, gives developers something that they've likely wanted, perhaps subconsciously, since the agentic AI era kicked off in earnest last year: a local debugger and evaluation tool specifically designed for AI agents, allowing devs to see all the traces of what their agent has been doing in a single, lightweight Structured Query Language (SQL) database file (.db) It functions as a local daemon and UI that streams every token, tool call, and decision to a local dashboard—typically hosted at localhost:5899 —the moment it occurs. By visiting their localhost, developers can then see everything their agent was up to — including mistakes or errors — and identify what went wrong, when, and ideally, discern why. It's all stored in a single .db file, which takes up relatively little memory, according to a X direct message VentureBeat received from Ben Hylak, Raindrop's co-founder and CTO (and a former Apple and SpaceX engineer). This real-time telemetry eliminates the latency of traditional polling and addresses a growing developer concern regarding the privacy of sending local traces to external servers. The tool is available for macOS, Linux, and Windows. It can be installed through a one-line shell command that automates binary placement and PATH configuration for bash, zsh, and fish shells. For developers who prefer to build from source, the repository is hosted on GitHub and utilizes the Bun runtime. The product: establishing a self-healing eval loop The platform’s standout feature is the "self-healing eval loop," which allows coding agents like Claude Code to read traces, write evals against the codebase, and fix broken code autonomously. In a practical application, if a veterinary assistant agent fails to ask necessary follow-up questions, Workshop captures the full trajectory. Claude Code then reads this trace, writes a specific eval, identifies the logic error in the promp...

Two top performing space stocks have been on blistering rallies that risk soon burning short sellers betting against the highfliers, according to data provider S3 Partners. Shares of Intuitive Machines, Inc . and Rocket Lab Corp. have surged 123% and 131%, respectively, since March 30. The rapid gains have set both of them up for short squeezes, a phenomenon where sellers may be forced to buy the stock back to cover their losing positions. The covering will drive share price even higher, putting more pressure on the cohort. The underlying reasons for the short squeezes are slightly different, Leon Gross , director of research at S3 Partners, said in a message Thursday. “One is structural (the crowded) and one is momentum (how much the shorts lost recently),” Gross wrote. Intuitive Machines stock gains were boosted by a surge driven from a US Space Force contract and $1 billion revenue outlook. Now, the stock boasts more than 18% short interest as a percentage of float, a measure of how many available shares traders have borrowed to bet against it, according to S3 Partners in a note May 14. That’s highly elevated, and alongside the stock’s recent rally, has made the short trade crowded. Paper losses for traders betting Intuitive Machines shares will fall are more than $550 million for the year, S3 data show. Rocket Lab’s squeeze setup is driven more by momentum after a more than 60% rally in a week, after the company reported first-quarter revenue that beat analyst estimates, and said they seen strong demand for rocket launches and space-related services. The quick pace of the stock’s move could push existing shorts to cover even though short interest as a percentage of float is relatively low at 5.5%, per S3 data. Short sellers in the name have accumulated paper losses of about $1.9 billion so far this year.

Apollo Global Management Inc. -backed West Technology is engaged in exclusive talks to sell its remaining operating business to a counter-party, according to people familiar with the matter. The exploration of a sale process comes as the technology firm has been in negotiations with debt holders amid a liquidity pressure, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. West’s lenders are being advised by Gibson Dunn & Crutcher , the people said. An agreement on a sale hasn’t been reached and talks could still end without one, they added. A representative for Apollo declined to comment. Representatives for West and Gibson didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The company entered into a transaction support agreement after missing an interest payment due on its existing second-lien notes. That deal includes a forbearance agreement in which holders acceded not to execute their acceleration rights, according to a Moody’s Ratings report from Wednesday. West’s 8.5% second-lien notes due in 2027 changed hands at 4 cents on the dollar on May 4, versus about 15 cents in October, according to pricing firm Trace. Its roughly $872 million term loan due in 2027 was quoted at 18 cents Thursday, down from 31.125 cents on March 16, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Formerly known as Intrado, West is a fraction of its former self after the divestiture of its life and safety business in 2022, when Stonepeak acquired the provider of critical public emergency telecommunications services for $2.4 billion. Apollo acquired Intrado in 2017.

Senators Unanimously Pass Resolution To Withhold Their Own Pay During Shutdowns Authored by Jackson Richman via The Epoch Times, The Senate unanimously approved a resolution on May 14 that would suspend senators’ pay during government shutdowns. The measure, introduced by Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), passed by voice vote and is scheduled to take effect after the November midterm elections. Under the resolution, the Senate secretary would withhold lawmakers’ salaries whenever a government shutdown affects one or more federal agencies. Pay would be released once government funding is restored. Supporters say the proposal is intended to hold Congress accountable as shutdowns become increasingly frequent and prolonged. “Shutting down government should not be our default solution to our refusal to work out our issues and our differences,” Kennedy said in a floor speech on Wednesday. “This is about putting our money where our mouth is.” Kennedy initially wanted the measure to take effect immediately, but included delayed implementation language to comply with the 27th Amendment, which bars changes to congressional pay until after the next House election. He also accused Democrats of potentially using a shutdown before the elections “to create chaos” and influence the political environment heading into the midterms. The legislation follows two major shutdowns over the past year that caused financial strain for thousands of federal employees, especially workers at the Department of Homeland Security. The agency reopened last month after a 76-day partial shutdown—the longest funding lapse affecting a federal agency in U.S. history. That shutdown came shortly after a separate 43-day closure of the entire federal government, another record-setting disruption. While federal workers often miss paychecks during shutdowns, members of Congress continue to receive salaries because the Constitution guarantees lawmakers’ compensation. During a previous shutdown tied to disputes over hea...
