Lemon_tm Jefferies boosted its rating on C.H. Robinson Worldwide ( CHRW ) after visiting management at its headquarters. After six months of share price underperformance, analyst Stephanie Moore and her team see a compelling entry point. Moore said the firm has increased conviction on the stock on its view that a technology and productivity transformation is still in early innings. Moore also pointed to a post-Montgomery regulatory environment that structurally favors scaled brokers and a balance sheet that positions CHRW as a natural consolidator. "With the stock now trading at a relative discount to some best-in-class peers, investors are being offered exposure to a business that has structurally re-rated its cost structure, carries a clean path to significant earnings power expansion at cycle inflection, and now benefits from a regulatory catalyst that reinforces its competitive moat. We see risk/reward as skewed meaningfully to the upside," highlighted Moore. Jefferies assigned a price target of $195 to C.H. Robinson Worldwide ( CHRW ), representing 18% upside potential. Shares of CHRW were up 2.2% in premarket trading. More on C.H. Robinson Worldwide C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (CHRW) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript C.H.

Perion Network (PERI) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.11 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.06 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.11 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +83.33%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this digital media company would post earnings of $0.49 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.49, delivering no surprise. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. Perion Network, which belongs to the Zacks Internet - Content industry, posted revenues of $90.37 million for the quarter ended March 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.3%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $89.34 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three 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. Perion Network shares have added about 11.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 7.4%. What's Next for Perion Network? While Perion Network has outperformed 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 revi...

da-kuk/E+ via Getty Images U.S. equities are partying at all-time highs, but BTC can't break out of the $80,000 range, sitting 35-40% below last October's peak. This week: $635 million pulled from spot ETFs in a single day, $500 million in longs liquidated at the 200-day MA, and a new Fed Chair whose first move remains unknown. Yet beneath the surface, JPMorgan quietly tripled its Bitcoin ETF position, and perpetual shorts have hit record levels. Will Bitcoin stay stuck? U.S. Equities Rally to ATH. Why Hasn't Bitcoin Followed? U.S. equities are deep into a risk-on rally. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq continue to print record highs, with the Dow reclaiming the 50,000 level. AI momentum, strong corporate earnings, and optimism around U.S.-China cooperation following the Beijing summit are fueling aggressive equity inflows. Yet, Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) remains range-bound near $80,000, roughly 35-40% below its October 2025 all-time high above $126,000. Source: @TheBTCTherapist The disconnect has become one of the most discussed questions among investors this week. Two factors explain the divergence: 1 - Bitcoin may have already priced in its risk cycle ahead of equities. As a 24/7 globally traded asset, Bitcoin reprices geopolitical shocks, liquidity shifts, and weekend headlines in real time, while equities wait for the next session open. When BTC hit $126,000 last October, leverage and greed were at extremes, followed by mass liquidations. That was crypto's version of peak risk appetite. U.S. equities, driven by AI trades and the China thaw, appear to be entering a similar euphoric phase now. Bitcoin is not lagging; it may have front-run this cycle. 2 - The real constraint is liquidity. Bitcoin is highly sensitive to global liquidity conditions. Rate cuts, QE expectations, and loose financial conditions drive crypto inflows. The current macro environment offers none of that. April CPI came in at 3.8% YoY, the highest since May 2023. The PPI print was even more striking: 1.4% Mo...

The space sector has been one of the most exciting areas of the market in 2026, and the excitement is only building. Reports that SpaceX could file its prospectus as soon as this week, ahead of a potential June IPO, have injected fresh momentum into a sector already generating compelling stories of its own. A potential SpaceX listing at a rumored valuation of $1.75 trillion would be one of the largest IPOs in history. And in the lead-up to that moment, capital is flowing into space infrastructure names that stand to benefit most from the sector's continued expansion. Three names in particular are worth paying close attention to right now. Get Intuitive Machines alerts: Sign Up Intuitive Machines: The Lunar Infrastructure Play Intuitive Machines NASDAQ: LUNR is one of the most established names in commercial lunar services. The company provides end-to-end lunar mission capabilities through NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program. Intuitive Machines Today LUNR Intuitive Machines $33.11 +0.65 (+2.01%) 52-Week Range $7.78 ▼ $38.55 Price Target $29.65 Add to Watchlist It is building what could become critical cislunar infrastructure through its $4.82 billion Near Space Network Services contract. That contract alone, first announced near the end of 2024, represents multi-year recurring revenue visibility at a scale few space companies can match. More recently, on May 18, the company announced that it had won a $20 million NASA contract for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera and ShadowCam. The stock is up 100% year to date, driven by both sector excitement and genuine fundamental progress. Q1 2026 revenue came in at $186.73 million, with a record backlog of $1.1 billion. Management has guided 2026 revenue of up to $1 billion. Investors should be clear-eyed about the setup, however. Q1 results missed both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) estimates, and the stock’s consensus rating is Hold across 13 analysts, with a price target of $28.45, implying downside...

+ ↺ − 16 px Intel, Micron, and Sandisk stocks extended their recovery on Wednesday, bouncing for a second consecutive day as semiconductor shares regained momentum ahead of Nvidia’s quarterly earnings report. Intel (INTC), Micron (MU), and Sandisk (SNDK) all advanced in trading, while AMD (AMD), Marvell (MRVL), and Arm Holdings (ARM) also posted gains in premarket activity, News.Az report, citing Yahoo Finance. The sector’s rebound comes as investors position themselves ahead of Nvidia’s (NVDA) earnings release later on Wednesday, with shares of the AI chip leader also rising by more than 1% after recent volatility. Semiconductor stocks had previously fallen amid a broader market sell-off driven by rising bond yields and renewed inflation concerns. Memory and storage-related firms such as Micron and Sandisk had also seen pullbacks following strong earlier gains. Despite recent volatility, the semiconductor sector has been one of the key drivers of the broader market rally to record highs. Investors are now focused on Nvidia’s results, which are widely seen as a key indicator for the artificial intelligence industry. Market participants will be watching for signs that major cloud computing companies continue to invest heavily in AI infrastructure, that Nvidia can meet sustained demand, and that its profit margins remain strong.

Althom Lowe’s ( LOW ) is trading defensively ahead of Wednesday’s open despite a top- and bottom-line beat for the first quarter, as lingering softness in the housing market led the company to maintain its full-year outlook, including profit guidance that was less than expectations. Additionally, operating income as a percentage of sales is expected to decline by ~120 basis points from FY25 to a range of 11.2% and 11.4% in FY26. The home improvement retailer continues to expect to earn an adjusted profit of $12.25 to $12.75 per share, with the $12.50 midpoint below the $12.59 per share consensus estimate. On an unadjusted basis, earnings are expected to be within a range of $11.75 to $12.25, less than the $12.44 estimate. For FY26, Lowe’s ( LOW ) sees comparable store sales for the year unchanged to up 2% compared to the prior year, while total sales are expected to increase by 7% to 9% to be within a range of $92B to $94B, straddling the consensus estimate of $93.07B. For the reported quarter, the home improvement retailer earned an adjusted profit of $3.03 per share, up 3.8% year-over-year and 6 cents better than expected. On an unadjusted basis, however, a $96M pre-tax charge tied to its Foundation Building Materials and Artisan Design Group acquisition eroded profits by 2 cents from a year ago. While comparable store sales were up less than 1% during the first quarter, buoyed mostly by demand for appliances and home services, the company’s revenue improved by 10.4% to $23.1B, beating estimates by $220M.

In this article RAND-NL Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Female apprentice engineer working with CNC machine in factory Witthaya Prasongsin | Moment | Getty Images The days of going to college to secure a lucrative career are over, as skilled trade workers have seen a 30% wage bump in the past few years, the CEO of the world's largest recruitment firm told CNBC. Sander van't Noordende, CEO of Dutch staffing giant Randstad , recommended the skilled trades career track to young people in an interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Wednesday. "I would say the days of going to college and doing something in an office, they are over," Noordende said. "You've got to be smarter than that. I think technology, any kind of technology, is still a good career trajectory. "The skilled trades are coming up rapidly. I would say you can make a good career and good money in skilled trade. That's definitely a career track," he added. How the red-hot AI data center boom is igniting demand for a new, lucrative career path: Trade workers Specialized skilled trade roles are now offering salaries that compete with traditional office jobs, with wage growth up 30% in the U.S. in the past four years, up 21% in the Netherlands, 18% in Germany, and 9% in the U.K, according to Randstad's latest data shared with CNBC. Mechanics now earn an average of $79,000 in the Netherlands and $76,600 in Germany, while in the broader housing and construction sector in the U.K., average salaries reach over $78,500. The number of data centers — specialized facilities powering the AI boom — is growing rapidly, and it requires a large physical workforce, including skilled trade workers, to support it. This has caused demand for trade workers to surge in recent years. watch now VIDEO 5:10 05:10 Global data center deals hit record $61 billion in 2025 Squawk Box Europe "The digital revolution requires a massive physical foundation," Noordende previously told CNBC in March.
