Earnings Call Insights: Jabil Inc. (JBL) Q2 2026 Management View CEO Michael Meheryar Dastoor highlighted, "the second quarter came in stronger than we had anticipated in December, with revenue approximately $500 million above the midpoint of our guidance, which also drove better-than-expected performances in both core operating margin and core EPS." Dastoor noted that the revenue upside was broad-based, with outperformance in cloud and data center infrastructure, networking and communications, automotive, and renewables. Dastoor stated, "our Intelligent Infrastructure segment, driven by the AI data center build-out, continues to be our growth driver in the near term," and pointed to signs of recovery in automotive, transportation, and renewables. Dastoor announced the revised outlook: "We now believe our Intelligent Infrastructure segment will be approximately $16.5 billion, an increase of $1.1 billion over our previous expectations and 34% growth over fiscal 2025, driven by incremental growth in all 3 of our end markets in that segment." CFO Gregory Hebard reported, "Net revenue for Q2 was $8.3 billion, exceeding our outlook for the period. Favorable revenue mix and ongoing cost discipline enabled us to achieve core operating income of $436 million and a core operating margin of 5.3%. On a GAAP basis, operating income was $374 million, and GAAP diluted earnings per share was $2.08. Core diluted earnings per share for Q2 was $2.69, reflecting results that were above our expectations for the quarter." Outlook Dastoor provided updated guidance: "For fiscal 2026, we now expect revenues of approximately $34 billion, an increase of approximately $1.6 billion from a prior outlook of $32.4 billion. We're also raising our full year diluted earnings per share outlook to $12.25, up from $11.55." The company expects Intelligent Infrastructure revenue to reach $16.5 billion, with AI-related revenue targeted at $13.1 billion for fiscal 2026, representing a 46% year-over-year in...

A worrisome trading pattern in the roughly $30 trillion Treasury market points to concerns about the economy and inflation.

We welcome Gordon Brown’s powerful focus on the traumatic effects of war on children in Iran (Children killed, a school turned into a graveyard: even in wartime, we can’t accept this, 12 March). In our work with child psychologists in Ukraine, Gaza and other conflict zones, we have seen how wars blight the lives not only of children who are injured but also of those who lose their homes, families and communities. Disrupted schooling, displacement to other countries, bereavement in their peer group and family, witnessing the horrors of conflict and feeling the terrors of air raids or ground attacks – all of these catastrophic experiences can lead to lifelong psychological disturbance. In this context, we would urge the international community not only to strengthen legal protections for children in war zones, but also to increase support for life-changing trauma treatments, which we have found in Ukraine can help up to 92% of traumatised children to recover their mental health. Dr Maria Callias Chair, Children and War UK It shouldn’t be controversial to be against the targeting of children and teachers. It shouldn’t be controversial to stand against child slavery in war and conflict. And it certainly shouldn’t be controversial to use our voices to speak out against mass murder of children. Gordon Brown raises moral, political and legal standpoints in this well-written, factual article. I believe, as citizens, that it is our duty to engage in our democracy, as one of the British values, to raise this problem to MPs, councillors, metropolitan mayors and council leaders so that children are never blown up in their own classroom again. Mackenzie Smallman Manchester I couldn’t agree more with Gordon Brown. No child should ever become collateral damage. Attacks on education buildings – and one assumes on schoolchildren – are war crimes. In September 2025, Save the Children stated that at least 20,000 children in Gaza had been killed in 23 months – on average one Palestinia...

The Nvidia GTC Has Been Very Bullish For AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) Seeking Alpha

phokin/iStock via Getty Images Thesis Summary Once again, Nvidia ( NVDA ) CEO Jensen Huang has shocked the world with a path toward a trillion-dollar AI infrastructure empire. That's very bullish for AI and Nvidia. But while investors are cheering Nvidia and its partners, I believe Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ( AMD ) is the big winner. Nvidia is trying to become the one-stop shop for AI infrastructure, and this may backfire. AMD is offering an open-source alternative while also outperforming Nvidia where it matters: memory. AMD stock outperformed Nvidia in 2025, and I believe this will continue in 2026. Nvidia vs. AMD Approach With the introduction of the Vera CPU , it's clear that Nvidia aims to be a full-stack AI infrastructure provider. Of course, this makes sense, since it increases the company's TAM. But it also makes it harder for the big hyperscalers to trust Nvidia and buy into its ecosystem. Hyperscalers don’t want to be locked into a single vendor’s proprietary stack, especially one that is rapidly expanding its pricing power. AMD, in contrast, is leaning into openness. Its Helios rack architecture, built on open standards and supported by the ROCm software ecosystem, gives its clients full control. AMD is trying to offer value wherever it can, rather than trying to offer a holistic solution to AI. As Nvidia pushes further toward vertical integration, AMD is becoming the default alternative for those who want to avoid vendor lock-in. AMD Does Memory Better And that’s not the only thing that makes AMD the better alternative to Nvidia today. If there’s something that became apparent at GTC, it’s that compute is no longer the bottleneck; memory is. Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, has identified the memory bottleneck as the most critical limiting factor in AI advancement for 2025 and 202 Source: Yahoo Finance . Agentic AI systems require persistent context, large model states, and real-time reasoning. This is why high-bandwidth memory (HBM) is quickly becoming t...

要在伊朗漫长侧翼守住这条海峡，意味着必须投入大量军舰，或展开大规模地面作战 作者：贾里德・马尔辛 特朗普总统誓言重新开放 霍尔木兹海峡 —— 这条全球能源供应生命线已被伊朗封锁。这绝非易事。 特朗普与国防部长皮特・赫格塞斯已多次承诺，海军舰艇将为油轮及其他船只提供护航，通过海峡。周四，特朗普称护航行动将 “很快” 开始。周六，他在两条社交媒体帖文中呼吁其他国家共同参与。 美国目前暂未派遣军舰进入这一狭窄水道 —— 其最窄处仅 21 英里（约 34 公里） 。海军官员警告，伊朗的无人机和反舰导弹可能将这片海域变成美军的 “死亡陷阱”。 为护航行动开辟通道的方案主要有两个： 一是 强化空中力量 ，在导弹和无人机向海峡内船只发射前就将其搜寻并摧毁；二是 动用地面部队 ，夺取海峡沿岸领土。 伊朗外交部长阿拉巴尔奇对哥伦比亚广播公司表示，“已有多个国家” 与伊朗接洽，希望本国船只安全通过霍尔木兹海峡。 美国政府称所有选项均在考虑之中， 包括动用地面部队 。周五，特朗普下令一支海军陆战队远征部队前往中东，该部队通常配备多艘军舰、数千名水兵、攻击机以及 2200 名陆战队员。 护航行动 在护航模式下，美军战舰（可能与盟国海军协同）将与油轮并行通过海峡，扫清水雷、抵御伊朗来自空中以及 “蚊子舰队”（小型快速攻击艇）的袭击。 专家估算， 每艘油轮可能需要 2 艘军舰护航 ，护卫一支 5–10 艘油轮的船队需要约 12 艘军舰才能提供必要的防空能力。而距离过短，使得拦截导弹和无人机难度极大。 尽管美以已连续数周打击，重创伊朗海军与军事能力，伊方指挥官仍展现出持续攻击能力。 哈德逊研究所高级研究员、资深海军军官布莱恩・克拉克估算，除军舰外，还需要至少 12 架 MQ-9 “死神” 无人机 在海峡上空巡逻，一旦伊朗海岸出现导弹和无人机发射装置就立即打击。 “这需要数千名陆军和海军人员，相当大的资金投入，而且可能要持续数月。” 克拉克说。 其他军事专家还提议使用 “鹞” 式垂直起降战机等机型支援护航。 将军舰投入油轮护航，意味着它们无法再执行进攻任务或更广泛的反导防御。特朗普周六表示，希望中、法、英等国派遣军舰协助。 据航运分析机构劳氏情报预测，安全措施和可用军舰数量限制，将导致通过海峡的油轮流量降至正常水平的 10% 。 按这一速度，积压在海湾地区的 600 多艘 国际商船需要数月才能疏通...

Readers respond to Simon Jenkins’ article that supported King Charles’s planned trip to America in April I sympathise with much of Simon Jenkins’ reasoning on why King Charles should confirm his presence at celebrations of the US’s declaration of independence, but ultimately come to a different conclusion ( The king’s visit to the US must go ahead despite Trump’s terrible military aggression, 13 March ). As Jenkins points out: “Separating headship of state from daily politics is a virtue of hereditary monarchy.” I am just not convinced that the king’s host will be capable of understanding that level of subtlety. He will instead see what he wants to see: a king come to pay tribute to him personally. We should have no part of that and should not expect our king to have any part either. We can think about a visit once the would-be monarch of America apologises for his most recent slights on our nation, most notably on the men and women who fought and died in support of his nation’s cause that he so easily dismissed.

The Prison Governors’ Association is right to warn about “nothing-to-lose” prisoners attacking notorious inmates such as Ian Huntley (Governors warn of increasing violence of ‘nothing-to-lose’ inmates attacking notorious prisoners, 13 March). But the warning barely scratches the surface. The deeper problem is that the system itself contains many people with little to lose, either inside or outside prison. Thousands arrive already trapped in cycles of addiction, trauma, homelessness and untreated mental illness, with little stake in life beyond the prison walls. Prison rarely repairs this damage; more often it compounds it. Rehabilitation has increasingly given way to containment and idleness, and regimes that in practice resemble solitary confinement. Release often changes little. Former prisoners are at best monitored, but rarely supported into stable housing, employment, education or treatment. Unsurprisingly, many return to custody even more embittered and dysfunctional. Until ministers confront these wider social and institutional failures – and hold the leadership of the prison and probation services properly accountable – the crisis in our penal system will deepen and serious violence will become increasingly endemic. John Podmore Former governor, HMPs Belmarsh, Brixton and Swaleside; and former prisons inspector

Retirees who work may create temporary financial shortfalls. but it all evens out later on. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › For many seniors, retirement doesn't mean disappearing from the workforce entirely. Some people want to retire and still work part-time, while others must keep working into their traditional retirement years out of financial necessity. Earning a paycheck is typically not a bad thing for seniors, but things can get tricky because work can affect your Social Security benefits in certain situations. Some retirees can work as much as they want while still collecting Social Security, while others have strict limits, and failure to understand them could lead to an unexpected loss in retirement benefits.

They can work as much as they want, as many jobs as they want, to supplement the money in their retirement plans. Seniors who can do that are those who have already reached their full retirement age (FRA). FRA is based on birth year. For anyone born in 1960 or later, it's 67. As the Social Security Administration makes clear, "starting with the month you reach full retirement age, there is no limit on how much you can earn and still receive your benefits." Working after FRA will not only not reduce y...

Wheat was climbing as the war in Iran continued to push up oil prices, prompting worries that farmers could cut back on sowing due to soaring costs for fuel and fertilizer. Additionally, harsh winter weather in parts of the central US may have damaged wheat plants that had broken dormancy at a time when limited precipitation was already stressing fields . Futures for hard red winter wheat , a variety used to make all-purpose and bread flour and favored in states such as top grower Kansas, gained as much as 3.8%. Benchmark Chicago futures for soft red winter wheat, used for cookies and cakes, rose as much as 2.9%. The jump came as oil surged amid further strikes on Persian Gulf facilities, while a surprisingly hot inflation report from before the war pressured the stock market. Broader concerns about inflation have also helped to bring investors into crops such as wheat and soybeans — the part of the commodities space with the highest correlation to price pressures in the last decade, according to StoneX chief commodities economic Arlan Suderman . “Thus, we’ve generally seen positive money flow into the grain and oilseed sector when inflation expectations rise, as they have been, while the money flow reverses when those expectations pull back,” Suderman said in a Wednesday note. Investment funds recently flipped to a net bullish position in Kansas wheat and have been chipping away at their short in Chicago wheat, while adding to bullish bets in corn and soy, according to regulatory data . Meanwhile, erratic weather across the US included some below-freezing temperatures in the Plains, where some wheat fields have been growing for a few weeks. “Wheat is pretty hardy for winter conditions, but once it starts its spring march to finish, it gets more vulnerable,” Lee Scheufler, who grows wheat in central Kansas, said by phone. “I do have some concerns we are set up for freeze damage because our wheat is ahead of schedule.” Any impact on yields won’t be known for weeks.

Regarding your article (Royals and celebrities warned to watch words as lip-reading videos go viral, 15 March), the public needs to be aware that lip-reading is not an exact science and research shows that only about 30% of information can be seen on the lips in the best of circumstances. This is because the remainder of speech shapes are inside the mouth, hidden from view. So lip-reading is very much guesswork and relies on a great deal of factors, including having good English competency, which many congenitally deaf people do not have due to lack of support in education; having the person being lip-read close enough to see clearly, their head still, with slow, clear lip patterns; nothing hiding the mouth like beards or hands; having an accent that is familiar to the person lip-reading; plenty of facial expressions and gestures, and so on. The TV programme Code of Silence was unrealistic, as is most people’s understanding of deafness. Lip-reading and hearing-aided technology have been mythologised to deaf people’s detriment, so that we must live up to an impossible dream. Jill Jones Chair, Deaf Experience (Dex)

Stefonlinton FedEx ( FDX ) is expected to see an 8.4% decline in its third-quarter earnings, which will be released on March 19, after markets close. The consensus EPS estimate is $4.13, while revenue is seen jumping 5.8% to $23.48B. In the prior quarter, the company guided for Q3 adjusted EPS to decline sequentially from Q2, while revenue was expected to remain broadly in line. Operating expenses were projected to rise modestly due to peak demand pressures and higher costs associated with the MD-11 grounding. Over the last 3 months, EPS estimates have seen 8 upward revisions and 13 downward moves. Revenue estimates have seen 15 upward revisions and 2 downward moves. In Q3, the Federal Express segment revenue is expected to reach $20.68B, while the FedEx Freight segment revenue is likely to come in at $2.04B, as per Zacks Equity Research. Going into the quarterly results, investors are likely to watch out for the company’s forward guidance amid the Middle East tensions. Analysts have already cautioned investors over mounting cost pressures and downside risk that the company faces due to the U.S.-Iran conflict, which has resulted in elevated oil prices. FedEx may enjoy higher fuel surcharges but would also incur higher fuel and transportation expenses, Seeking Alpha analyst Asian Value Investor said. “Its operating costs and expenses may increase and squeeze margins. It must also watch out for the further effect on consumer and business spending, which may affect its volume and pricing,” the analyst warned. Service suspension in the Middle East could also emerge as another pain point for the company, likely disrupting its supply chain and driving higher costs for FDX. Even as the freight company is at risk of losing some revenues and incurring more expenses amid the current situation, the analyst was optimistic that the firm’s heavy investment in AI may prove to be beneficial. “Route optimization amid delays and rerouting may allow its drivers to find the best and mo...

On Wednesday, security researchers published findings on a new hacking tool that targets iPhones running iOS 18.4 to 18.6.2, as reported earlier by Wired. The “DarkSword” exploit allows bad actors to scoop up the personal information on iPhones that visit malicious links, and has already been used by Russian hackers. The Google Threat Intelligence Group worked with the cybersecurity firms Lookout and iVerify to analyze the attack, which could affect up to 270 million devices still running the impacted versions of iOS 18. When a user accesses a compromised website, Google says DarkSword uses “six different vulnerabilities” to carry out an attack targeting Safari, giving bad actors the ability to collect text messages, contacts, saved credentials, iCloud files, photos, cryptocurrency wallets, call logs, location history, and more. Google says it reported the vulnerability to Apple in late 2025. In an emailed statement to The Verge, Apple spokesperson Sarah O’Rourke confirmed that Apple had patched all “underlying vulnerabilities” in iOS last year before issuing an “emergency software update last week for older devices that were unable to update to more recent versions of iOS.” DarkSword uses a “hit-and-run” design that allows attackers to “extract high-value data and disappear before traditional detection methods can respond,” according to Lookout. Google says suspected Russian state-sponsored hackers used DarkSword to target users in Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and Turkey. These hackers were also discovered using an iOS exploit kit called Coruna, which Google highlighted in a report earlier this month. iVerify notes that the Russia-linked hackers left ...

Growth stocks are attractive to many investors, as above-average financial growth helps these stocks easily grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. However, it isn't easy to find a great growth stock. That's because, these stocks usually carry above-average risk and volatility. In fact, betting on a stock for which the growth story is actually over or nearing its end could lead to significant loss. However, the task of finding cutting-edge growth stocks is made easy with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects. Our proprietary system currently recommends Stantec (STN) as one such stock. This company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank.
