JHVEPhoto Hasbro ( HAS ) reported a 12.7% year-over-year increase in revenue for its fiscal first quarter, driven by strong growth in its Wizards and Digital Gaming segment, which rose 26%, while Consumer Products remained flat and Entertainment declined 24%. Adjusted operating profit was up 29% to $287M during the quarter that ended on March 29, reflecting favorable product mix and topline strength. Adjusted EPS came in at $1.47 vs. $1.29 consensus and $1.04 a year ago. Hasbro ( HAS ) said the Wizards segment benefited from a 36% increase in MAGIC: THE GATHERING revenue, supported by new releases and continued back-catalog strength, while Monopoly Go! contributed $41M. Consumer Products performance was steady, with gains in key categories offset by tough prior-year licensing comparisons. The Entertainment segment saw lower revenue due to deal timing but improved profitability from reduced royalty expenses. On the capital allocation front, Hasbro ( HAS ) returned $106M to shareholders and allocated $96M toward debt reduction, including issuing $400M in new notes to refinance upcoming maturities and repurchase higher-cost debt. Looking ahead, Hasbro ( HAS ) continues to expect revenue to be up 3% to 5% in constant currency, an adjusted operating margin of 24% to 25%, and adjusted EBITDA of $1.40B to $1.45B (midpoint $1.425B) vs. the consensus estimate of $1.44B. "We remain focused on delivering our annual objectives by driving operating leverage, investing behind our highest-return brands, and returning cash to shareholders as we build on this solid start to the year," highlighted CFO Gina Goetter. Shares of Hasbro ( HAS ) edged 0.3% higher in premarket trading on Wednesday after gaining 3.7% on Tuesday.

Key Points Oil futures suggest current supply disruptions are temporary. Energy stocks may benefit if oil prices remain high longer than expected, not least because oil companies aren't as yet ramping up investment in response to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. 10 stocks we like better than Global X Funds - Global X Mlp & Energy Infrastructure ETF › It's time to revisit what the oil futures market is pricing in. The data make for fascinating reading and, arguably, positive news for investors in energy stocks such as Chevron (NYSE: CVX) and U.S.-focused energy infrastructure ETFs like the Global X MLP & Energy Infrastructure ETF (NYSEMKT: MLPX). Here's what it all means to investors. Interpreting the oil futures data In theory, at least, futures prices should trade in "contango," meaning that prices further out trade higher than near-term prices. This reflects the cost of storage, insurance, and cash tied up in holding it. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » However, in practice, oil futures often trade in backwardation (as in the chart), whereby nearer-term prices are higher than longer-term prices. This is possibly due to a concerted preference to avoid the risk of a future price rise due to OPEC action or geopolitical factors by having oil to hand in the near term. Backwardation also occurs when a scarcity of near-term supply stresses the oil market, but it is expected to normalize over time. That's pretty much what the chart says. You could think of it as the market signaling it's pricing in a near-term supply constraint that will normalize over time. There are two things in the chart that imply that futures contracts are shown as being higher in early April than in mid-May: Both sets of data show backwardation with lower prices in the future. Note that the spread between the M...

India’s treasury bill yields surged at a weekly auction, signaling fixed-income traders are starting to price in potential interest-rate hikes by the central bank. Yield on the 364-day treasury bill rose 21 basis points to 5.9750% Wednesday, the most in nearly four years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Yields on 182-day t-bills were up 22 basis points, while those on the shortest-tenor t-bills were up over 18 basis points. “The three-month t-bills are pricing in a 25-basis-point rate hike,” said Puneet Pal , head of fixed income at PGIM India Mutual Fund. “This was bound to happen as t-bill yields were way too low relative to overnight index swaps and bank certificates of deposits.” The Reserve Bank of India last hiked rates in February 2023 as consumer prices surged. Inflationary pressures are rising again as state-run refiners start passing on some of the oil price gains to households. Read More: Here’s a Look at India’s Measures to Stem Hit From Oil Shock

Lowe's (LOW) came out with quarterly earnings of $3.03 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.96 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.92 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +2.39%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this home improvement retailer would post earnings of $1.95 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.98, delivering a surprise of +1.54%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times. Lowe's, which belongs to the Zacks Retail - Home Furnishings industry, posted revenues of $23.08 billion for the quarter ended April 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.62%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $20.93 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Lowe's shares have lost about 9.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 7.4%. What's Next for Lowe's? While Lowe's has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Only four companies have a market value of $3 trillion or more. However, by the end of 2027, I think four other companies will join this exclusive club. One of these stocks is a no-brainer, but the other three will need to make some noise to reach a $3 trillion market cap by the time 2027 ends. The four stocks I think can reach this level are Amazon (AMZN 2.08%), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM 0.94%), Broadcom (AVGO 2.51%), and Meta Platforms (META 1.36%). All four of these stocks are heavy competitors in the artificial intelligence (AI) build-out, and I think they could make for genius investments. Amazon Amazon is about the easiest pick for this list. It currently has a $2.8 trillion market cap, so reaching $3 trillion should occur this year, let alone 2027. While Amazon is commonly thought of as a commerce investment, the reality is that its Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing segment is driving a lot of its earnings growth.

Taiwan Semiconductor Now is where things get a bit more interesting. Currently, Taiwan Semiconductor is a $2 trillion company, so it needs to rise about 50% to gain entry to the $3 trillion club. That's no easy feat, but with major chip demand stemming from increased AI spending, I think it's possible.

Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Investment Thesis I have been bullish on Alibaba ( BABA ) since 2021-2022, where the stock was trading in the low $60 range while the pessimism towards China technology stocks was at its peak. Even though the stock has doubled from that level, it has turned out to be a laggard investment compared to the overall market as the recovery period was much longer than anticipated. The reason why the current thesis is all about AI and not about e-commerce is because Alibaba has transformed itself into an integrated AI and cloud infrastructure company using Qwen models and proprietary chips. Data by YCharts AI Revenue Run Rate Accelerates Forward Cloud Profitability Alibaba derives AI product monetization fastly as Cloud Intelligence Group topline expanded 40% YoY. AI product topline maintained % growth across 11 quarters and is capturing 30% of cloud topline. AI revenue run rate is now over RMB36 billion. Here, Model and application services topline exceeded RMB8 billion and is progressing toward RMB10 billion. Alibaba has a solid hold on the AI infra stack as T-Head chips hit Model-as-a-Service production. Alibaba’s 60% of compute capacity serves the internet, finance and automotive sectors. Thus, operating a compute supply chain differentiates Alibaba from hardware scarcity issues and hardware ownership limits the impact of server deployment cost inflation. As client demand shifted from chatbots to AI agents, agent orchestration needs multiplication of inferencing workloads. As a result, Token consumption volumes on the Bailian platform expand revenue run rates. Although Alibaba also increased token prices due to shortages, their clients have acceptance levels in terms of changing token prices. Due to shortages in the supply side compared to demand, Model-as-a-Service generates higher profits than Infrastructure-as-a-Service for Alibaba. Q4 Earnings Moreover, this Token consumption growth lifts cloud segment gross margins and c...

Palantir (PLTR +0.11%) has been one of the most popular artificial intelligence (AI) stock picks over the past few years. However, its stock has faltered as of late. The stock has failed to meaningfully participate in the AI rally that kicked off in April, and is down around 35% from its all-time highs. Furthermore, the company reported a blowout first quarter, yet the stock hasn't budged. This may look like a genius buying opportunity for Palantir stock if you missed out on the initial rise. But is it a solid buy now or a trap? Palantir's attractiveness depends on what you value as an investor Depending on how you look at Palantir's stock, it's either a no-brainer buy or a company to stay far away from. This dichotomy makes the stock hard to analyze, as it really comes down to individual investor preference. From a growth standpoint, Palantir is crushing it. Its data analytics AI platform has been supercharged with the integration of generative AI. This has caused monster growth and allows Palantir's platform to perform tasks that humans normally would have had to do.
