Russian President Vladimir Putin met Chinese engineer Peng Pai on Wednesday, over a quarter century after a chance encounter between the two when Peng was 12 years old during Putin’s first presidential visit to China. Putin received Peng at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing and praised his decision to study in Russia, which he said was “very pleasing” to him. He also observed that Peng was born in southern China, where the weather is different from Moscow, and said he hoped Peng had found a good and friendly environment there. Advertisement The two shared a hug after a long handshake, exchanged utensils and memorabilia, and Putin signed a commemorative photo of their first meeting. According to Russian state broadcaster RT, the initial encounter took place in July 2000, when Putin made an unscheduled stop at Beijing’s Beihai Park after touring the Forbidden City during his first trip to China as Russia’s leader. Advertisement The park visit was not part of the official itinerary and the area had not been cleared. RT reported that Putin bypassed on-duty armed police and noticed the young boy.

ExxonMobil (XOM +1.28%) and Chevron (CVX +1.51%) are leaders in the oil patch. They both have globally integrated operations, low costs, fortress balance sheets, and excellent records of delivering value to shareholders. The energy giants also boast strong long-term growth outlooks. Given their similarly strong profiles, it can be difficult to decide which of these top energy stocks to buy. Here's a look at which one is the better buy right now. The undisputed leader in the oil patch ExxonMobil and Chevron share many similarities. However, when comparing these two large international oil companies (IOCs), it's abundantly clear that Exxon reigns supreme. Last year, the oil giant generated $28.8 billion in earnings and $52 billion in cash flow from operations, putting it well ahead of Chevron ($13.5 billion of earnings and $33.9 billion in cash flow from operations). Exxon not only bested its closest peer last year but has also delivered IOC-leading earnings and cash flow growth over the last five years (compound annual growth rates of more than 20% and 10%, respectively). Those aren't the only categories where Exxon leads all IOCs. As of the end of last year, Exxon had delivered $15.1 billion in cumulative structural cost savings since 2019, more than all other IOCs combined. It has also delivered an average return on capital employed of 11% since 2019, leading all IOC. Meanwhile, Exxon ended last year with an industry-leading balance sheet, backed by an ultra-low 11% net debt-to-capital ratio. Exxon's financial strength enabled it to pay $17.2 billion in dividends last year, making it the second-largest dividend payer in the S&P 500. Exxon has also increased its dividend for an industry-leading 43 straight years. As a result, Exxon has delivered peer-leading total shareholder returns since 2019.

TLDR Nvidia reports Q1 fiscal 2026 earnings on May 20, with Wall Street expecting EPS of $1.76 on revenue of $78.75 billion.

TLDR Nvidia reports Q1 fiscal 2026 earnings on May 20, with Wall Street expecting EPS of $1.76 on revenue of $78.75 billion. Data center revenue is projected at $72.85 billion, roughly double the $39.11 billion posted in Q1 last year. CEO Jensen Huang said Nvidia’s China market share has dropped to zero as Beijing pushes domestic chip development. The next-gen Vera Rubin platform is on track for production shipments in the second half of 2025, with samples already sent to customers. Q2 guidance will be closely watched — Wall Street expects around $87 billion; anything below that could weigh on the stock. Nvidia is about to deliver one of the most watched earnings reports of the year. The company is expected to post $78.75 billion in revenue and earnings per share of $1.76 for Q1, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates. That compares to $44.06 billion in revenue and $0.96 EPS in the same quarter a year ago. NVIDIA Corporation, NVDA The stock closed at $220.61 on May 19, down slightly on the day, but is still up around 19% year to date. It touched an all-time high closing price of $235.74 on May 14. Data center revenue is expected to carry the load again, with analysts projecting $72.85 billion from that segment alone. Of that, $60.53 billion is expected to come from compute, and $12.45 billion from networking. Gaming is forecast at $3.64 billion, down about 3%. What to Watch Beyond the Headline Numbers The Q2 outlook may matter more than Q1 results. Wall Street is sitting at around $87 billion for next quarter. If management guides below that number, even a strong Q1 beat may not be enough to hold the stock. There’s also a change in how Nvidia will present its financials this quarter. Starting now, the company is including stock-based compensation in its non-GAAP figures, so comparisons to prior quarters will need to account for that shift. The Vera Rubin platform is another focal point. Nvidia’s next-generation rack-scale system succeeds Blackwell and is positio...

Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images The Janus Henderson B-BBB CLO ETF ( JBBB ) makes an attractive case for itself. With monthly distributions, floating-rate exposure, low duration, and a yield profile above ordinary core bond funds, there are many things to like here. For most investors, a 12-month distribution yield of 6.86% and a 30-day SEC yield of 6.02% are enough to get attention. But JBBB has some concerning facets . It is not a plain bond fund, and it is not simply Janus Henderson AAA CLO ETF ( JAAA ) with a higher coupon. JBBB owns lower-ranking CLO debt, as its name implies, mostly BBB rated. That is a higher risk, for which you are being compensated a little more. Your tranche is subordinate to AAA CLO ETFs, and there could be liquidity risks as well. In Seeking Alpha’s comment section for JBBB, I see investors comparing JBBB with JAAA, PAAA, and FAAA. Some are holding, but the recent volatility is holding them back from buying more. Some worry that CLO equity stress may jump to CLO debt as well. These are real concerns. My own take on JBBB is that it is useful as a specialized income ETF. It may work as a secondary allocation, and only for investors aware of the risks. My near-term view is that JBBB can still work in 2026 if credit remains calm, but I expect most of the return to come from coupon income rather than NAV upside. My general rating for JBBB is Hold. JBBB's Portfolio JBBB seeks capital preservation and current income through floating-rate CLO exposure. The prospectus says that JBBB invests at least 80% of assets in CLOs rated between BBB+ and B-. Portfolio snapshot Author JBBB has a reported 82.19% trailing one-year turnover on the current portfolio page . The fund invests in the same asset class, although in different CLO issues. Investors are exposed to one specialized area of structured credit. That is not necessarily negative; that depends on whether BBB/B CLO debt is attractive enough for the risk. JBBB’s fact sheet shows 91.0% ...

The comedian Munya Chawawa on satire in the age of social media and what Donald Trump has in common with wrestlers Even if you don’t know Munya Chawawa’s name, you will almost certainly have seen one of his skits. He’s the guy on your feeds who’ll take a nostalgic chart-banger and turn it into a political parody. He first blew up in the Covid pandemic, when he mocked the health secretary for his affair, the prime minister for rule-breaking, and the sheer absurdity of living through lockdown. Since then he’s racked up more than a billion views, appeared on Celebrity Bake Off and Taskmaster and made documentaries on Kim Jong-un and Robert Mugabe, all the while putting a modern twist on the hoary tradition of political satire. But as the news moves faster and grows darker, he tells Nosheen Iqbal how he finds jokes in the growing political chaos. Continue reading...
