Europeans must urgently seek to close their security gaps in case Russia attacks – and the US refuses to defend its allies Donald Trump’s war in Iran and tirades against Nato allies are accelerating moves to develop a plan B for European security in case the US is no longer willing to help defend allies against a Russian attack. Europe must prepare for sudden vulnerability gaps if the fickle US president decides to pull out key military enablers before Europeans can develop their own alternatives. European countries have already taken over financial and political responsibility for supporting Ukraine in its struggle against Vladimir Putin’s war of aggression, as Trump has increasingly sided with Moscow in trying to force Kyiv to hand over swathes of territory to Russia. After four years of war in Europe, most leaders have come to recognise Ukraine as a military and technological asset for European defence rather than a burden or a risk factor.

Sebastian Gorczowski/iStock via Getty Images SpaceX IPO: new developments I last wrote on SpaceX ( SPACE ) on Mar. 16, 2026. The article rated the stock as a buy after a comparison of its business model against the established United Launch Alliance (ULA). Since then, there have been several new developments surrounding this hyped IPO stock and motivated this revisit. The remainder of this follow-up will focus on the top two or three catalysts as I see: the updated timeline of the IPO, the updated valuation of the IPO, and also the potential for accelerated inclusion of the stock into major market indices after the IPO. After evaluation of these developments, I see large odds for SpaceX to be uniquely positioned for fast-track inclusion into the ( SP500 ) index due to its unprecedented scale and systemic importance to the aerospace sector. If/when this scenario materializes, I expect it to have both longer- and shorter-term implications for SpaceX. In the shorter term, I expect it to create a substation and non-discretionary demand spike from passive investment vehicles for the shares, which could potentially lead to a temporary liquidity vacuum. In the longer term, I expect it to further validate SpaceX's dominance over legacy players (such as those in the ULA detailed in my last article). With this overview, let me start with an update of the IPO's anticipated timeline and valuation to better contextualize the rest of the analysis. Since my last writing, the timeline for the IPO has solidified more, with SpaceX reported to have confidentially filed the paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission and scheduled its IPO roadshow on June 8. In the meantime, the estimated IPO share price continued to increase (see the next chart below), and the IPO valuation ceiling has been moved to a range of $1.75 to $2.0 trillion now, according to the latest Barron's news (subscription needed), vs. "only" about $1.5 trillion at the time of my last writing. With these deve...

Listen on the go! A daily podcast of Wall Street Breakfast will be available by 8:00 a.m. on Seeking Alpha , iTunes , Spotify . Getty Images Good morning! Here's the latest in trending: Cruise from hell: The CDC is monitoring U.S. travelers aboard the MV Hondius hit by a devastating hantavirus outbreak. M&A drama: GameStop ( GME ) CEO Ryan Cohen says eBay ( EBAY ) has suspended his account . Insight over influence: The White House may have early access to AI models , but will avoid choosing winners and losers . Restoring value The traditional packaged foods sector has struggled in recent years, facing a wave of immense change and supply chain disruption. Soaring inflation has led to a surge in the cost of raw ingredients and a more price-conscious consumer, while private label brands have taken a prominent place in store aisles, with an increased focus on fresh goods and healthier options. It's made it hard for companies like Kraft Heinz ( KHC ) to navigate the shifting landscape, with the stock losing nearly half its value over the past five years. Kraft Heinz: No Growth, Consumer Headwinds, And Depleting Margins Too lean: The problems at the company started even earlier, when private equity firm 3G Capital merged Kraft and Heinz in 2015. Known for its "zero-based budgeting" approach, 3G slashed costs and expenses in an attempt to please Wall Street and boost the combined entity's bottom line, but it ended up starving brands of marketing and the R&D they needed to innovate. Massive write-downs ensued as sales and goodwill in North America eroded, while the pandemic and subsequent shrinkflation continued to harm the business. Looking for a revival, Kraft Heinz ( KHC ) announced it would split into two standalone companies by mid-2026, but that decision has since been halted by CEO Steve Cahillane, who is only five months into the top job. Why? Cahillane had success in his prior position at fellow pantry giant Kellogg, where he separated its high-growth snack busines...

Yield is often the most important feature investors look for in an excellent dividend stock. That makes a lot of sense, since the higher the yield, the more money you'll get for your dollar. However, yield isn't the only feature in a great dividend stock, and sometimes a high yield can even be a red flag. Other features in a top dividend stock include dividend growth and stability over time. If you want to be able to rely on passive income forever, you want a dividend stock with a proven track record of paying and raising its dividend over a long period of time. Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) , Realty Income (NYSE: O) , and Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) are three great options. Let's look at each in turn. Continue reading
