OGULCAN AKSOY/iStock Editorial via Getty Images In a very choppy stock market environment in 2026, investors have to be careful to deploy active portfolio management to weed out weak companies from our portfolios. Persistent inflation, a weak consumer spending environment, and the possibility of a less-accommodating Fed are all threats on the horizon that will challenge businesses that have already entered into the year facing pressure. Lionsgate Studios Corp. ( LION ), the Hollywood studio known best for the Hunger Games and John Wick series, has been struggling over the past year to keep generating box office hits and return to top-line growth while managing an overbearing debt load. Despite its challenges, shares have risen nearly ~40% over the past year, ever since the company spun off its streaming arm, Starz Entertainment Corp. ( STRZ ), into a separate publicly traded company. C an Lionsgate truly justify its gains over the past year, or is this a phantom rally that is unlikely to last in a choppy market? Data by YCharts I last wrote a “Sell” rating on Lionsgate in January, when the stock was trading at similar levels around $9. Since then, the company has reported continued profit contraction, while adjusted OIBDA has also shrunk and led to rising leverage ratios. It appears that Lionsgate is leaning heavily on its back library to drive revenue, while recent releases aren't picking up the slack as we wait for major tentpole releases ahead in FY27. I'm reiterating my “Sell” rating here. Weaker film profitability, lower TV revenue Lionsgate last reported fiscal Q3 (December quarter) results in early February, and though the stock has rallied modestly since that print, I found many issues that make the stock risky to hold through the rest of the year. The company's trended results are shown in the chart below: Lionsgate trended results by segment (Lionsgate Q3 earnings release) Let's start with the issues in the company's motion picture (box office films) divis...

We've been fortunate enough to have James on a few times , most notably talking about the Iran War and its likelihood of it being protracted is a matter of when and not if. And that has proven to be the case. He was also discussing the likelihood of the Strait of Hormuz being closed. Also something that has come to pass. And it seems that every day brings more and more depressing, devastating news out of that region and also how it's stretched into various regions in the globe as we've all seen. So happy to bring back James to get some context and to ground us in this moment and to get more insight and edification on how he sees the war going and what that means for us as investors. So James, welcome back to the show and happy for you to just reintroduce yourself for those that haven't been fortunate enough to hear your previous episodes and then lay out the picture as you see it as we're heading into April 2026, how you see the next few days, few weeks, few months going. James A. Kostohryz: Thank you for having me again, Rena. I appreciate it. Yes, as you've pointed out, for quite a while, going back even a couple of years, I've been saying that a major war between Iran and Israel was likely, and that in the course of this war, it's likely that Iran would be likely to resort to blocking the Strait of Hormuz, whi...

Donny DBM/iStock via Getty Images Highlights • Weakness in the labor market and two interest rate cuts by the Fed contributed to a modest U.S. bond market rally in the fourth quarter. • High-yield corporate bonds and residential mortgage-backed securities were the best performers, while investment-grade corporate bonds underperformed. • The fund trailed the return of its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, due primarily to country allocation and foreign currency positioning. Market review and outlook The U.S. bond market posted positive returns in the fourth quarter, capping a solid year of performance. Despite strong third-quarter economic growth, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) lowered short-term interest rates twice during the fourth quarter due to continued weakness in the labor market, including a four-year high in the unemployment rate. The Fed's decision-making was complicated by an extended federal government shutdown, which caused delays in economic data collection and reporting. For the quarter, short-term bond yields declined, reflecting the Fed rate cuts, while intermediate-term bond yields were largely unchanged, and long-term bond yields rose slightly. From a sector perspective, high-yield corporate bonds and residential mortgage-backed securities led the market's advance, while investment-grade corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities lagged. As we move into 2026, we expect global economic activity to moderate in the coming year. Uncertainty about future interest rate policy decisions and U.S. tariff policy are expected to weigh on consumer spending, the housing market, and job growth. As a result, we expect market volatility to remain elevated as market participants navigate the economic and geopolitical uncertainty. In this environment, we continue to focus on striking a balance between yield and risk while emphasizing quality, stability, and liquidity. Contributors and detractors The fund posted a gain for the quarter but trailed...

ThinkLabs AI , a startup building artificial intelligence models that simulate the behavior of the electric grid, announced today that it has closed a $28 million Series A financing round led by Energy Impact Partners (EIP) , one of the largest energy transition investment firms in the world. Nvidia’s venture capital arm NVentures and Edison International , the parent company of Southern California Edison , also participated in the round. The funding marks a significant escalation in the race to apply AI not just to software and content generation, but to the physical infrastructure that powers modern life. While most AI investment headlines have centered on large language models and generative tools, ThinkLabs is pursuing a different and arguably more consequential application: using physics-informed AI to model the behavior of electrical grids in real time, compressing engineering studies that once took weeks or months into minutes. "We are dead focused on the grid," ThinkLabs CEO Josh Wong told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview ahead of the announcement. "We do AI models to model the grid, specifically transmission and distribution power flow related modeling. We can calculate things like interconnection of large loads — like data centers or electric vehicle charging — and understand the impact they have on the grid." The round drew participation from a deep bench of returning investors, including GE Vernova , Powerhouse Ventures , Active Impact Investments , Blackhorn Ventures , and Amplify Capital , along with an unnamed large North American investor-owned utility. The company initially set out to raise less than $28 million, according to Wong, but strong demand from strategic partners pushed the round higher. "This was way oversubscribed," Wong said. "We attracted the right ecosystem partners and the right capital partners to grow with, and that's how we ended up at $28 million." Why surging electricity demand is breaking the grid's legacy planning tools T...
It's rare to find a company that has a true monopoly on its industry. It's even rarer when that company has no meaningful competition in any form ready to break into the market and claim some of it. And it's rarer still when that company isn't resting on its laurels and is still innovating on the product or service that made it a monopoly in the first place. Continue reading

DKosig Stock index futures were higher on Monday as investors navigated a holiday-shortened week with eyes on the ongoing Iran conflict and rising energy costs. Now, here are five news stories that broke overnight to watch out for: Gas prices hit $4 milestone: The U.S. national average price of gasoline rose above $4 a gallon on Monday for the first time in more than three years, according to GasBuddy data, as the U.S.-Israel war with Iran continued to disrupt global energy markets. The $4 per gallon threshold was last reached in August 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and represents what some analysts have called a psychological barrier for consumers, according to a Reuters report. Gold heads for worst month in 17 years: Gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ) ticked higher on Tuesday on hopes of Middle East de-escalation but headed for its worst month in 17 years as higher energy costs dampened U.S. rate cut expectations. Spot gold was up about 1% to $4,557.62 per ounce but down 14% this month. Silver ( XAGUSD:CUR ) advanced 3% to $72.22 but slipped 23% so far this month. Australia weighs legal action against social media giants: Australia’s online safety regulator is weighing legal action against major social media platforms, including Meta ( META ), Snapchat ( SNAP ), TikTok ( BDNCE ), and YouTube ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ), over concerns they are failing to prevent children under 16 from using their services. The watchdog, led by eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, is assessing compliance with laws that took effect on December 10 banning under-16s from holding accounts. Pentagon dismisses Hegseth investment report: A broker for U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sought to make a large investment in major defense firms in the lead-up to the Iran war, according to the Financial Times. The Pentagon has dismissed the report. The FT reported Tuesday that Hegseth’s broker at banking giant Morgan Stanley ( MS ) contacted BlackRock ( BLK ) in February about making a multimillion-d...
