Bevan Goldswain/E+ via Getty Images Boston Scientific ( BSX ) has been getting crushed YTD, down over 43%, and the stock is in the process of wiping out years of steady gains for shareholders. After a weak 2026 outlook in February and now guidance after Q1 being cut, the investor focus is now shifting towards whether or not the company can draw a line in the sand and put a floor in estimates. I believe that after this guidance cut, the company has given themselves enough breathing room to warrant a reaffirmation of the full-year guide at Q2 earnings in a couple of months. This should bode well for the stock, and I begin coverage today with a Buy rating. Business Profile Boston Scientific is a medical device manufacturer primarily in the cardiovascular and medical surgery verticals. By geography , the company has 64.1% of its revenue in the United States, 17.2% in EMEA, 15.3% in APAC, and 3.4% in Latin America and Other. By end market, the company is 67% cardiovascular and 33% medical surgery. Within medical surgery, the company has Endoscopy at $736 million, Urology at $646 million and Neuromodulation at $318 million. It's important to understand these end markets in more detail. The endoscopy business develops minimally invasive tools doctors use inside the digestive tract (stomach, intestines, bile ducts) to diagnose problems, remove tissue, place stents, and perform GI surgeries. Urology focuses on making devices to treat urinary and reproductive system issues like kidney stones and prostate cancer. Neuromodulation focuses on making implantable or energy-based devices that alter nerve signals to treat chronic pain, movement disorders like Parkinson's or spine-related nerve pain. The largest segment cardiovascular focuses on devices to treat heart and blood vessel diseases, including irregular heart rhythms and blocked arteries, among several other use cases.

A selloff in risker assets like stocks swept up cryptocurrencies as concerns over inflation and high oil prices rattle jittery investors. Bitcoin , the largest digital token, fell as much as 3.4% on Friday to around $78,600, its lowest in two weeks. It’s on pace for its first down week since the end of March. Other coins were also hit, with Ether losing nearly 4% at one point to drop to $2,200. The crypto declines came in tandem with drops in stock and bond markets. Nervous traders are contending with the possibility that central banks will be forced to tighten policy to keep inflation in check as the US’s conflict with Iran continues to drag on. The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil used to travel through, has weighed on sentiment and sent oil prices higher. “Global bonds are selling off, pushing interest rates higher and fueling risk-off action in speculative instruments like cryptocurrencies,” said Michael O’Rourke , chief market strategist at Jonestrading. While crypto proponents have frequently argued that digital tokens could be useful as a safe haven during periods of turmoil, this year’s 11% drop in Bitcoin has undermined that thesis. The drawdown this week comes even as cryptoassets have been buoyed by a slew of positive news, including the advancement by the Senate Banking Committee of a landmark US digital-asset market-structure bill that could provide much-needed regulatory clarity. Read more: Bitcoin Tops $80,000 as Crypto Market Regulation Bill Advances Even before Friday’s selloff, Bitcoin had stalled around $80,000 in recent weeks as retail investors stayed on the sidelines, having seen the token fall from above $126,000 in early October. Some of the action has shifted to some prediction markets, where trading has boomed.

jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Thesis I rated Dollar General ( DG ) as a buy back in late July 2025. The stock started to soar not too long after, rising from ~$107 to over $150. The rally proved sustained for a time, but starting in March, the stock began to slip and is now trading just about $100. $150 was DG is a big ask, but at $100, the stock is looking like a buy again. This is backed up by data and valuation metrics, as outlined below The Tricky Economic Environment Plays to DG’s Strengths Dollar General has traditionally catered to lower-income shoppers, who are struggling quite a bit right now. I doubt the pressures on low-income consumers will ease up any time soon. At the same time, however, since Dollar General is already focused on value, customers will struggle to trade down. Aldi’s, Walmart, and a few other companies can likewise compete in the value segment, but I doubt any will massively undercut DG. As such, I believe the concern over pressure on lower-income consumers is overdone. What’s more, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see wealthier customers trading down as they come under financial pressure. We may see some shoppers skipping a run to Publix in favor of DG, for example. Walmart ( WMT ) has actually secured most of its growth from wealthier customers. I don’t know if DG will have as strong of a pull with wealthier customers, but if they can convince even a small number of defectors, it could make a big difference. Despite the considerable headwinds, during the last earnings call back in March, same-store sales were up 4.3%. At time when consumers are under strain, this is pretty solid growth even if it failed to wow investors. The next earnings report will land on June 2, and while I wouldn’t be surprised if the report failed to wow investors again, I don’t think we’ll see heavy deterioration. I do think DG will perform in line with if not ahead of many peers in the retail sector. Could High Gas Prices Be A Tailwind For DG? I w...

Michail_Petrov-96/iStock via Getty Images Fund performance The equity portion of the Fund fell (gross of fees) and underperformed its benchmark over the quarter. ¹ uniQure ( QURE ) detracted as regulatory uncertainty resurfaced around its Huntington's disease gene therapy program as the Food and Drug Administration raised questions regarding trial design and comparability. Inspire Medical Systems ( INSP ) also weighed on performance as concerns emerged around procedure growth. Expectations became elevated after a period of strong performance, but as growth assumptions moderated, the stock experienced multiple compression. EyePoint ( EYPT ) was negative as investors discounted the binary risk associated with upcoming 'phase 3' data in retinal disease. Competition within retinal therapeutics remains intense, contributing to uncertainty around ultimate differentiation. Conversely, Veradermics ( MANE ) contributed as investor confidence increased around its extended-release oral minoxidil program for androgenetic alopecia, a form of hair loss. If successful, this could materially expand the addressable market. Tectonic Therapeutic ( TECX ) performed strongly as investors placed greater value on its G-protein coupled receptors-targeting biologics platform, which aims to unlock a historically difficult but highly validated class of drug targets. Vaxcyte ( PCVX ) was also beneficial as its next-generation pneumococcal vaccine program gained traction and visibility. As development progresses, investor focus shifted toward the magnitude of potential market share capture rather than just regulatory success. We view Vaxcyte as a differentiated story within vaccines, where innovation can meaningfully reshape an established market.

The head of Shell Plc in Brazil, who helped secure final approval for the Orca deepwater project, has decided to leave the oil major. Cristiano Pinto da Costa will be replaced by João Santos Rosa, the current head of Shell in Italy, Shell said in a press release on Friday. Pinto da Costa is pursuing new opportunities after almost 30 years with the company, he said in a post on LinkedIn. “We’ll be working together through a transition process that, I’m certain, will position him to take my beloved Shell Brazil even further,” Pinto da Costa said . Read more: Shell’s Government Payments Drop as Brazil Overtakes Nigeria Shell increased production by about 25% in Brazil under Pinto da Costa’s leadership to more than 500,000 barrels a day in March, and first oil at Orca is expected in 2029, the company said. Shell’s Brazilian exploration and production contracts have jumped to 70, compared to 30 when Pinto da Costa took over. Brazil is a key part of Shell’s international portfolio and Rosa will be tasked with extending the life of the massive Tupi deepwater oil field, where Shell is a partner with state-controlled producer Petroleo Brasileiro SA . Production at the field hit a peak around 2020 and Petrobras is working partners on projects aimed at sustaining output.

Earnings Call Insights: Creative Realities (CREX) Q1 2026 Management View CEO Richard Mills said the company posted Q1 revenue of $16.3 million, including $7.9 million from the CDM acquisition, while “extreme cold weather across the Southeast U.S.” delayed about $4 million of revenue into later quarters. CEO Mills said Q1 gross profit was $5.6 million and consolidated gross margin was 34.2%, adding that results were also impacted by “a onetime event as we terminated a CDM legacy subcontractor, which reduced gross margin by approximately $0.5 million.” CEO Mills said the company ended Q1 with ARR of $20.1 million and “an additional $4 million of ARR contracted and in place already that ARR will start at year-end,” and added: “We remain on track for our best year ever with company revenue exceeding $100 million and adjusted EBITDA margins reaching the high teens in the coming quarters.” Chief Financial Officer Tamra Koshewa said, “Revenue from our legacy CRI business decreased approximately 15% year-over-year,” citing install timing and “a decrease in our SaaS from expiration of certain customer contracts in 2025.” CEO Mills announced new customer wins and expansions, including: “we are the official digital signage provider for the Tennessee Titans and the new Nissan Stadium,” calling it “an $8.5 million deal,” and said the company won Dairy Queen in North America after an RFP and expects revenue to “grow between $1 million and $2 million a year on an annual basis.” CEO Mills said the AMC theater lobby network rollout with National CineMedia is “approximately 1,200 screens and large-format LEDs throughout the rest of 2026” with “expected revenue of this is $6 million to $7 million.” Outlook CEO Mills said weather-delayed Q1 installs shifted into Q2 and Q3 and that “we expect our second quarter results to improve compared to the first quarter with the remainder of 2026 showing growth acceleration and margin expansion.” CEO Mills reiterated synergy timing and longer-ter...

Gary Yeowell/DigitalVision via Getty Images WASDE-671, The Options Chain, And WEAT’s Structural Problem Thanks to what I have learned from the routines of great investors, I always like to start and end the day by reviewing price action to detect any anomaly and pull the thread if needed. That happened to me on May 12, with an approximately 7% increase in the price of wheat , which led me to the WASDE-671 report published on the U.S. crop. It turns out that the wheat crop has been the smallest since 1972, at 1.561 billion bushels, implying a 21% cut versus the 1.985 billion bushels of the previous cycle. And the culprit behind this situation is, on the one hand, a severe drought in the Hard Red Winter belt , the producing region across Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, and, on the other, an all-wheat planted area of 43.8M acres , which represents a historical low when reviewing the USDA Prospective Plantings Report. This is because this year, the pressure on farmers from high operating costs, such as diesel and fertilizers , has had enough of an effect to push them toward other more profitable crops such as soybeans or corn. So, as I continued my research, I decided to review the behavior of the Teucrium Wheat Fund ( WEAT ) to see what it was reflecting, and that is when I saw what I consider an opportunity. The first thing I looked at was the options chain, where the first July expiration showed an open interest call/put ratio of practically 13 to 1, with 29,643 contracts concentrated at the $30 strike, that is, a level that requires WEAT to rise 26% in about two months. And the market has positioned itself with fresh flow on May 12 at the $25 strike, with 1,172 contracts traded that day. To me, this is a signal of institutional money paying premium for an upside scenario. dtnpf.com Before continuing, it is important to understand how WEAT works and what it holds. Currently there are three CBOT Soft Red Winter (SRW) futures contracts distributed with a 35%, 30%, and 35%...
