Improving momentum alongside a cheaper valuation could drive upside for shares of Block , according to Truist Securities. The investment firm upgraded the fintech stock to buy from hold. Analyst Matthew Coad's price target of $77, up from $72, implies an upside ahead of 29%. "We came into the year relatively cautious on Block as we worried that the ongoing business mix shift to lending-related activities would result in worse than Street expected margin expansion as well as multiple compression," Coad wrote. "We now see upside potential to Street margin expectations following the ~40% reduction in force, the stock has meaningfully de-rated (as it now trades at 12x our 2027 EPS), and we believe capital return could surprise to the upside as FCF generation improves." The analyst wrote that Square's new business momentum is encouraging, with new volume added increasing by 27% year over year in the fourth quarter. "We expect Square's improved new business momentum to provide a greater boost to overall volume growth in 2026 and that growth may accelerate further in 2027," he said. "After more than a year of [monthly transacting actives] being stagnant at ~57mn, Block has added 2mn Cash App MTAs over the past two quarters, we believe in-part due to the utility of Cash App Borrow and Cash App Green which is driving higher activity levels for users that previously transacted less frequently." Meanwhile, new business applications in the U.S. are up 15% year over year after several years of stagnation. This could result in better-than-expected U.S. business formation and hence growth in Square's net new accounts in the U.S. this year. Coad added that outsized growth within its international business continues to boost Square's overall volume growth. Shares of Block have slipped 8% this year and are flat over the past 12 months. Coad said the stock now looks cheap on a comparable price-to-earnings basis and when adjusted for top-line growth, and is the bank's preferred "value"...

Ovid Therapeutics (OVID) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.06 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.1 per share. This compares to a loss of $0.13 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +158.71%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post a loss of $0.15 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.17, delivering a surprise of -13.33%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. Ovid Therapeutics, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, posted revenues of $0.72 million for the quarter ended December 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 195.47%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $0.08 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. Ovid Therapeutics shares have added about 23.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 1.9%. What's Next for Ovid Therapeutics? While Ovid Therapeutics 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 harnessi...

At the GTC 2026 conference, Nvidia laid out a bold vision: Its flagship AI accelerators will help it generate $1 trillion in revenue from 2025 through 2027. That’s a massive number for a product buried deep inside massive data centers, invisible to the average person. Yet, the market’s muted reaction suggests that this hypergrowth is already “priced in” for Nvidia stock. For investors seeking the next alpha, the opportunity may no longer lie in the chips themselves but in the secondary infrastructure and downstream sectors positioned to capture the value of this unprecedented surge in compute. While Nvidia commands center stage, this massive wave of data center spending creates a powerful multiplier effect in the following key hardware and manufacturing sectors, which are positioned as the critical beneficiaries of this strategic pivot. However, not every tech giant is joining the AI capex race. Apple is pursuing a fundamentally different AI strategy centered on on-device intelligence rather than cloud computing. See Apple’s Contrarian AI Strategy Manufacturing Partners: The Silicon Backbone Nvidia designs and develops its chips, but it needs its foundry partners to build them. To reach $1 trillion in sales, Nvidia needs massive, diversified foundry capacity. The key players who could benefit include TSMC and Samsung. TSMC is the bedrock of the industry; it handles the complex Rubin GPUs and the advanced packaging required to link them with next-generation memory. The company’s leading-edge nodes deliver the performance, yields, and scale Nvidia needs for its highest-volume, cutting-edge chips. The stock reflects this dominance, having gained close to 14% year-to-date. However, rather than chasing the rally by buying shares outright, investors can leverage this momentum more strategically. Here is a trading opportunity for TSMC designed to generate compelling yields while maintaining a fair margin of safety. Samsung Electronics is now a key foundry for the Groq 3 la...

Key Points Broadcom is seeing huge demand for its custom AI chips. TSMC is benefiting from AI build-outs. 10 stocks we like better than Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing › The $3 trillion stock club is an exclusive group that only a few companies are currently in. Nvidia, Apple, and Alphabet are the current members, although Microsoft may be in there depending on the daily fluctuations of the market. I think two stocks that could join them over the next three years are Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(NYSE: TSM) and Broadcom(NASDAQ: AVGO). These two have a ways to go, as TSMC is valued at $1.75 trillion while Broadcom is at $1.59 trillion. To get to $3 trillion, the two must rise 71% and 89%, respectively. 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 » If either stock grows at that pace over the next three years, it will be considered a highly successful investment, making them both genius buys now. I think they are both primed to rise to the $3 trillion mark, and investors should position themselves accordingly. Both Broadcom and TSMC are huge beneficiaries of the AI build-out Broadcom and TSMC have each been successful investments over the past few years due to the massive amount of money being spent on AI infrastructure. That isn't slowing down, and 2026 looks to be another year of record-setting expenditures on data centers set up to process AI. TSMC is seeing strong growth from this trend due to its positioning as a neutral party. TSMC is the world's top logic chip producer and is a leader in the production and technological side. It doesn't matter which company's products are placed in a data center; chances are, there are a ton of chips from TSMC in them. Because it doesn't have any skin in the game in terms of which company is the current leader in AI computing hardware, it's just root...

Iran has been moving its crude through the Strait of Hormuz at rates broadly comparable to transit before the war began, making the most of its control of the vital waterway as other exporters falter. Iranian crude exports through the corridor accounts for nearly three-quarters of the 27.2 million barrels that have left the Persian Gulf since March 1, data from intelligence firm Kpler Ltd. show. That amounts to about 1.2 million barrels a day of crude for Tehran, compared to a pre-war daily level of 1.5 million barrels.

Samsung Electronics signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AMD to supply and partner on next-generation AI memory and computing technology, while opening the door to a future foundry partnership. Under the agreement, Samsung will supply high-bandwidth memory, HBM4, for AMD’s MI455X accelerators, as well as advanced DRAM solutions for the 6th generation AMD EPYC CPUs. Samsung will also supply DDR5 memory chips for AMD’s Helios system. The companies explained the collaboration is positioned at addressing advanced memory technology demands for AI and data centre workloads. As memory bandwidth and power efficiency become increasingly critical to system level performance, “this collaboration will help deliver more optimised AI infrastructure for customers”, they explained. A signing ceremony held by the two companies was attended by AMD CEO Lisa Su (pictured, right) and Samsung co-CEO Jun Young-hyun (pictured, left) at a Samsung manufacturing plant in Pyeongtaek, Korea. Subscribe to our newsletter Get breaking news, exclusive insight, and expert analysis - before anyone else. Subscribe Su said powering the next-generaiton of AI infrastructure requires deep collaboration across the industry. “Integration across the full computing stack, from silicon to system to rack, is essential to accelerating AI innovation that translates into real-world impact at scale. Later down the line, the two companies said they plan to discuss opportunities for a foundry partnership, through which Samsung will provide foundry services for next-generation AMD products. AMD is a competitor to AI chip trailblazer Nvidia, Last month, it struck a major deal with Meta Platforms to deploy 6 gigawatts’ worth of GPUs over the next five years, as it attempts to loosen Nvidia’s stranglehold over the GPU chip sector.

'Worst Disruption To Oil Flows Ever': Oil Surges After Iran's Oil, Gas Assets Attacked Energy headlines summary: Iran says oil and gas assets are under attack Iraq reroutes flows through Ceyhan Pipeline to Turkey Iran reiterates new rules in place for Hormuz transit "The blockade is now the worst disruption to oil flows ever. Real barrels are now disappearing from global oil markets, which can lead to demand destruction in the weeks to come." * * * Update (0748ET): WTI crude futures are surging after Iranian state TV reported that part of the South Pars gas field in the Persian Gulf area had been hit by an airstrike. South Pars is the backbone of Iran’s gas system and part of the world’s largest natural gas field, which Iran shares with Qatar, where the same reservoir is called the North Field. Most of Iran’s gas production comes from South Pars, making it central to power generation, industrial feedstock, petrochemical production, and winter heating demand in Iran. WTI futures quickly surged to $95/bbl on the news. Operation Epic Fury appears to have shifted toward targeting the IRGC’s funding lines. This was evident last week with strikes on the Kharg Island export hub. * * * Brent crude futures were directionless overnight, oscillating between $100 and $103 per barrel after news broke that Iraq had found a workaround for the Hormuz chokepoint by restarting exports through Turkey's Ceyhan port. Bloomberg reports that North Oil Co.'s oil pipeline to Ceyhan port, with an expected initial export capacity of 250,000 barrels, has begun operation. That is in addition to 210,000 barrels per day from Kurdistan through the northern pipeline, according to Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul Ghani. Ceyhan exports crude from the Kurdistan and Kirkuk fields (Iraq) to the Mediterranean port, effectively bypassing the chaos at the Hormuz chokepoint and in the Gulf region. Disruption of tanker flows in the critical waterway forced Iraqi oil production to plunge to about 1.4 million barrels...

luismmolina/iStock via Getty Images Gran Tierra Energy ( GTE ) down 12.2% pre-market Wednesday after saying four board members resigned due to disagreements over the handling of an audit committee investigation; following the resignations, the board reduced its size from nine directors to five. According to an 8-K filing , the resignations stemmed from a disagreement with the majority of the then five-member audit committee regarding the handling of the committee's independent investigation into an anonymous complaint; the company said the complaint does not involve any allegations of fraudulent activity or misstatement in its financial statements. Separately, Gran Tierra ( GTE ) said it agreed to acquire a 49% working interest in the Tisquirama block in Colombia's Middle Magdalena Valley Basin; specific terms were not disclosed. The block contains the Tisquirama and San Roque fields, which produced an average of 2,500 boe/day on a gross basis in 2025 and are located adjacent to the company's Acordionero field.
