Both VNQI and REET provide access to real estate investment trusts (REITs) on a global scale, offering diversified exposure across developed and emerging markets.

(0:16) Alibaba posts wide quarterly misses as AI spending pressures profits. (1:47) Oscars audience falls , while global music revenue keeps rising . (2:46) This is an abridged transcript of the podcast: Out top story so far, to paraphrase Kaiser Soze: just like that, it’s gone. Markets now see little chance the Federal Reserve cuts rate this year. Just a month ago, about 50 basis points of easing were priced in. Fed funds futures now imply nearly an 80% chance that rates will end 2026 where they are today — and a 5% probability they could even be higher — as global central banks picked up the hawkish baton from Wednesday’s FOMC meeting and ran with it. “Take one hawkish-leaning FOMC presser, mix in a hawkish hold from the BoJ, sprinkle on top a BoE 9-0 hold vote — and what do you get? A mess,” said Guy LeBas, strategist at Janney. The Bank of England especially rattled the cage, signaling potential rate hikes to combat energy spikes. Not long ago, two rate cuts were expected this year. Now roughly 60 basis points of hikes are priced in. Near-term gilt yields surged to 52-week highs. In the U.S., the 2-year Treasury yield ( US2Y ) topped 3.85%, levels not seen since July. Michael Brown of Pepperstone warned the BoE’s tone “implies that the MPC may be on the verge of making a horrific policy mistake.” He argued the economy is in a very different place than during the last energy shock, with a more fragile labor market and lower risk of persistent price pressures. Markets found some relief when the ECB, which also held rates, sounded less alarmed — though it left the door open to a potential April hike. The ECB “obviously looked at the BoE statement today and thought ‘OK, let’s not do anything THAT crazy,” economist Dario Perkins said. Among active stocks, Alibaba ( BABA ) reported wide fourth-quarter misses on both revenue and...

Encompass Health Corporation EHC recently disclosed plans to construct a new freestanding inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Bear, DE. The facility will be equipped with 40 beds. The hospital will comprise private patient rooms, a large therapy gym equipped with advanced rehabilitation technology, a suite for daily living activities, an on-site dialysis unit and several other amenities. Thus, the facility will be equipped to provide physical, occupational and speech therapy services to patients recovering from serious illnesses and injuries. Treatment will be delivered by a team of specialized nurses, therapists and physicians, and a round-the-clock nursing care facility will also be available. This, in turn, is expected to help patients across New Castle County and nearby communities with improved health outcomes and ensure their quicker return to normal daily activities. Encompass Health’s Motive Behind the Recent Move Apart from bringing better health outcomes for the targeted patient community, the recent move reflects Encompass Health's sincere efforts to strengthen its presence in Delaware. Once operational, the Bear facility will become EHC’s second location across the state, in addition to another one in Middletown. By continuously expanding its nationwide network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, Encompass Health strengthens its ability to serve a growing patient base while driving higher revenues. Increased patient volumes naturally contribute to stronger revenue performance for healthcare providers like EHC. In 2025, the company generated $5.9 billion in revenues, marking a 10.5% increase compared with the previous year. At present, Encompass Health operates 174 rehabilitation hospitals across 39 states and Puerto Rico. This expansive portfolio is the result of a proactive growth strategy that includes both independently developed facilities and facilities built through partnerships with regional healthcare providers. The most recent addition to it...

Gold.com GOLD boasts an impressive acquisition portfolio that has expanded scale and capabilities, while widening global presence. As a rebranded, fully integrated precious metals platform, GOLD’s merger and acquisition story, besides being a growth lever, gives competitive advantage across distribution, product breadth and operational efficiency. Gold.com leverages acquisitions to rapidly scale its direct-to-consumer (DTC) ecosystem. The acquisition of Monex Deposit Company, with its diversified customer base and established storage capabilities, strengthens Gold.com’s vertically integrated model. This transaction not only enhances product offerings but also improves operational efficiency and deepens customer value through cross-selling opportunities and streamlined services. Geographic expansion is another critical benefit. GOLD has increased its stake in UK-based Atkinsons Bullion & Coins by 24.5% to 49.5% and strengthened its European presence. This provides a scalable platform for international DTC growth, reduces dependence on any single market and positions the company to capture demand in regions with a strong affinity for precious metals investing. Gold.com’s acquisition history—spanning businesses such as SGI, Pinehurst, AMS and SGB—reflects a consistent strategy of acquiring niche leaders across the value chain and integrating them into a unified platform. This approach expands product offerings across bullion, coins and collectibles, while diversifying revenue streams and strengthening multi-channel distribution. Acquisitions are also driving margin expansion through synergies. Management stated its strategic focus remains on integrating and realizing cost savings and the synergies from recent acquisitions, expanding both domestic and geographic reach as well as further diversifying the customer base. What About Peers? Coinbase Global COIN is increasingly leaning on inorganic growth, and its acquisition story is impressive. COIN’s targeted acquisitions ...

Analysts expect Rivian (RIVN +1.35%) to report its next earnings in early May. That earnings announcement will offer financial results for the first quarter of 2026. There should be plenty of critical updates delivered to investors. There are two catalysts in particular that could be revealed that day. Both catalysts hold the potential to send Rivian's stock price soaring. 1. Updates on Rivian's new affordable SUV The very first revelation that investors should be looking for in Rivian's next earnings report is an update on the company's newest vehicle launch. The R2 SUV is Rivian's first vehicle with a base price starting under $50,000. Previously, the company only had two models on the market, both luxury trucks offered at a price too high for most consumers to afford. The R2 marks the company's first real vehicle for the "mass market," theoretically making Rivian's products accessible to tens of millions of new buyers. The R2 was in development for years. But deliveries are expected to begin in April, starting with a higher trim variant for select customers. So don't expect total deliveries to be very high by May. But what investors should be paying attention to is whether initial deliveries started on time, whether the backend manufacturing capacity is scaling as expected, and how the latest reservation numbers have grown or shrunk. Delays in initial shipments and unforeseen issues in scaling up production have proven common in the EV industry. But Rivian is my top growth stock in 2026 for a reason. If deliveries, production scaling, and reservations look to be on track, expect the market to reward the company's relatively paltry valuation of just 3.3 times sales.

Rasi Bhadramani/iStock via Getty Images By Zain Vawda Oil prices surged in early trade today as Brent crude oil prices surged toward a high near the $114 per barrel mark. The rally, which saw Brent ( CO1:COM ) hit a high of $114 and WTI ( CL1:COM ) cross the $105 mark, was triggered by a dangerous escalation in Middle Eastern hostilities that now directly threatens the world’s most vital energy infrastructure. The Catalyst: Attacks on Energy Hearts The primary driver behind the price spike was a series of kinetic strikes on Iranian oil facilities and the subsequent expansion of the conflict. Reports confirmed Israeli airstrikes targeting Iran's South Pars gas field, but the US and Qatar were not involved, Trump said late Wednesday. In a retaliatory move that sent shockwaves through trading floors, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a formal warning that it would target oil installations in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates ( UAE ), and Qatar. Because these three nations represent approximately 20-25% of global crude exports, the threat transformed a regional conflict into a systemic risk for the global economy. Recent missile and drone attacks have caused major damage to energy facilities across several countries. Some of the attacks are listed below. Qatar: Missiles hit the world’s largest LNG (natural gas) plants and a major Shell facility, stopping production and causing European gas prices to spike. Saudi Arabia: The military stopped several missiles and drones, but an aerial attack on a refinery in Yanbu briefly disrupted oil shipments. Kuwait: A drone strike started a fire at a refinery, though it was contained. For context, Iranian attacks have knocked out 17% of Qatar's liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity, causing an estimated $20 billion in lost annual revenue and threatening supplies to Europe and Asia, QatarEnergy's CEO told Reuters on Thursday. QatarEnergy had declared force majeure on its entire output of LNG, after earl...

As artificial intelligence fears grip the white-collar world , Oppenheimer believes that the technology may ignite a "blue-collar renaissance" by driving up demand for the power and machines that will fuel the new technology. Concerns over AI disruption have gripped markets this year, leading to growing concerns about unemployment. Software, in particular, is an industry investors fear could be hammered by AI advancements. The sector has sold off this year, with the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) down 20% year to date. Just last month, fintech provider Block said it was laying off more than 4,000 employees , nearly half its workforce. Recent economic data has shown the same weakness, with nonfarm payrolls falling by 92,000 in February . The unemployment rate edged higher, to 4.4%. But Oppenheimer is hopeful that even if surging AI adoption disrupts office jobs, it can open doors elsewhere in the skilled trades . U.S. manufacturing employment saw significant losses last year, with the National Association of Manufacturers estimating that as of January 2026, employment in the sector is still below its pre-pandemic levels . "If one side of the AI-labor displacement debate is the rapid rightsizing of certain categories of white-collar office jobs, the other side is the resurgence in traditionally 'blue collar' jobs producing goods and services not easily displaced by code or text generation automation," a team of Oppenheimer analysts led by Colin Rusch wrote in a recent report. "Yes, we believe the robots are coming to their assistance, but the world still needs the skilled workforce to build and service the machines that build the machines." Rusch called the phenomenon a "nuanced reshaping of the labor market." "Demand for more traditionally 'blue collar' jobs producing goods and services does not align with available supply, driving the need for incremental productivity technologies," he wrote. "We see a multi-year supportive backdrop across our Indus...

narvo vexar/iStock via Getty Images BYD Company ( BYDDF ) ( BYDDY ) plans to invest about $57M in a new automotive research and testing center in Rio de Janeiro. The project will deepen the company's Brazilian electric vehicle footprint. Construction is expected to start toward the end of 2026, with operations slated to begin around 2028. The complex will be built on a site of more than 180K square meters near Galeão International Airport, which will give the electric vehicle maker easy logistics access and prominent visibility to international visitors. BYD's ( BYDDF ) ( BYDDY ) plan is to create a dedicated hub to test electric vehicles for speed, power output, endurance, durability, and performance under varied driving conditions, including specialized tracks that simulate different road environments and an off-road circuit. Notably, the facility will also generate data specific to tropical climates, helping the company adapt products and technologies to Brazil and other emerging markets. The center is inspired by a similar BYD testing complex in Zhengzhou, China, and will serve as a key R&D pillar alongside the company’s major manufacturing plant in Camaçari in Bahia. BYD ( BYDDY ) ( BYDDF ) executives describe the Rio site as reinforcing Brazil’s strategic role in the company's international expansion and in the future of electric mobility in Latin America.

peshkov/iStock via Getty Images The stock market did not perform great in the last few months – especially when compared to previous years. The S&P 500 basically stagnated in the last six months. But when looking at the performance across different sectors and industries, we see that financial data companies are rather displayed in red on the chart. S&P 500 6-month performance (Finviz) And one of the companies that was affected heavily was FactSet Research Systems, Inc. ( FDS ). I already published an article about the company in September 2025, when the stock was still trading slightly above $300, and in the conclusion of my article, I wrote: In my opinion, FactSet is a great business with a wide economic moat and sustainable business model. In the recent past, the business was struggling, and therefore a lower stock price was probably justified. However, FactSet is now down about 40% from its previous all-time high, and this decline makes it rather undervalued and a “buy” at this point. (…) But while FactSet is trading below its intrinsic value in my opinion, we still should be cautious. Stock markets usually tend to swing from one extreme sentiment to another. It is rather the exception that stocks are trading close to the intrinsic value – instead, the stock price usually swings from overvaluation to undervaluation and is kind of oscillating around its intrinsic value. In case of FactSet this could lead to even lower stock price over the next few quarters—although the stock seems oversold right now and the previous low around $295 could be a strong support level. Data by YCharts Since my last article was published, the stock declined more than 30% again, and the stock has now declined 55% from its 52-week high and 57% from its all-time high. In the following article, I will make the argument once again that FactSet is a “Buy” – mostly due to the low valuation multiples it is trading for. Additionally, while acknowledging some risk for the business, I think GenAI...

Never miss an important update on your stock portfolio and cut through the noise. Over 7 million investors trust Simply Wall St to stay informed where it matters for FREE. DNOW (NYSE:DNOW) is working through material integration challenges tied to its MRC Global acquisition, with Oracle ERP issues affecting roughly 40% of its U.S. operations. The company is also facing legal scrutiny over potentially misleading business information following a sharp share price drop after disappointing Q4 2025 financial results. Operational disruptions and legal questions are now central to the near term risk profile for DNOW and are drawing increased attention from investors and regulators. DNOW supplies energy and industrial customers with distribution, supply chain and related services, so system reliability and order execution are core to its business model. When a large acquisition like MRC Global is combined with a complex Oracle ERP rollout, disruption can spill into day to day operations and customer relationships. For investors, the current issues sit alongside existing sector themes such as supply chain resilience, digital systems integration and customer service continuity. Looking ahead, the key questions are how quickly DNOW can stabilize its Oracle ERP environment and how the legal review around its business disclosures progresses.

Three-quarters of its members could be indirectly elected by local councillors, with temporary seats reserved for the heads of the national governments and regional mayors. Party leaders not yet in the Commons – such as Zack Polanski – could also sit there. The remaining seats could be time‑limited appointments for experts such as retired civil servants and former ministers, perhaps with different voting rights.

Ian Duckworth Billington, Lancashire Reduce the Lords to 400 members, with 300 appointed on merit by an independent committee, not because they are party donors or long-serving civil servants. They should be contracted to attend a minimum number of days a year at a modest day rate. And 100 could be separately elected at the same time as a general election. No bishops unless they make it into the group of 300. No patronage by prime ministers. No her...
