There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on March 5, Griffon Corp.'s Director, Henry A. Alpert, invested $79,990.00 into 1,000 shares of GFF, for a cost per share of $79.99. Bargain hunters tend to pay particular attention to insider buys like this one, because presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money. In trading on Monday, bargain hunters could buy shares of Griffon Corp. (Symbol: GFF) and achieve a cost basis 10.9% cheaper than Alpert, with shares changing hands as low as $71.31 per share. Griffon Corp. shares are currently trading up about 2.2% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of GFF shares, versus its 200 day moving average: Looking at the chart above, GFF's low point in its 52 week range is $63.92 per share, with $97.58 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $72.71. By comparison, below is a table showing the prices at which GFF insider buying was recorded over the last six months: Purchased Insider Title Shares Price/Share Value 03/05/2026 Henry A. Alpert Director 1,000 $79.99 $79,990.00 The current annualized dividend paid by Griffon Corp. is $0.88/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend ex-date was on 02/27/2026.

Noah Sauve/iStock Editorial via Getty Images ZLB:CA Overview The BMO Low Volatility Canadian Equity ETF ( ZLB:CA ) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund with a NAV of ~$5.9 billion CAD that invests in listed stocks across all market cap sizes in the Canadian stock market. The Bank of Montreal's ( BMO ) offering is very liquid, is a basket of low-beta stocks, and has a small expense ratio, making it an easy way to get full exposure across less volatile Canadian stocks. This article looks to compare this offering with some other larger ETF fund offerings that have low beta stocks in the Canadian market, including some passive offerings. As per the prospectus , the fund does not have a benchmark listed and simply seeks to provide exposure to the performance of a portfolio of Canadian equities that have less sensitivity to market movements with the potential to drive outsized gains. I think it's worth reviewing because after a blockbuster year for the Canadian equity markets, with over 20% returns even with sluggish oil prices, I think the Canadian economy may see a return to historical forward P/E ratios, and this fund is a way to ensure an investor is buying quality stocks at reasonable prices. There is a lot of momentum in Canada, and investment stability is now ensured, with the Carney government passing its comprehensive budget recently. With chaos in Iran, Canada looks like a sane and stable neighbor to the US that can provide oil to the global economy. Also buoyed by expansionary policy under Mark Carney, the country is focusing on productive sectors like infrastructure, mining, and defense, areas that were forgotten or even attacked under the Trudeau administration, and trying to fast-track oil infrastructure to fill the gap caused by the war. Ultimately, while iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index ETF ( XIU:CA ) or Vanguard FTSE Canada All Cap Index ETF ( VCN:CA ) are other similar solid alternatives, if investors want to get exposure to Canadian equity without excess...

Selcuk Oner/iStock Editorial via Getty Images In my last analysis , I described Permian Basin Royalty Trust ( PBT ) as an exceptional business whose royalties model allowed it to avoid the massive capital expenditures and sharp downsides of the oil & gas industry while preserving what I called “an option on oil and gas’ upside.” However, the Trust’s rich valuation limited further upside, leading me to assign a “Hold” rating. Since that analysis, several material developments have emerged affecting the Trust's operational performance, financial position, and governance structure. Nevertheless, the balance of those factors leads me to extend my “Hold” rating. Stock Market Underperformance Since my last analysis, the Trust’s units have declined by 0.68%, compared to a rise of 25.28% for the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF ( XOP ) and declines of 1.16% and 1.4% respectively for the iShares Russell 3000 ETF ( IWV ) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF ( SPY ), respectively. Taking dividends into account, the Trust’s total returns were -0.21% over that period, compared to 26.19% for the XOP, -0.88% for the IWV, and -1.15% for the SPY. Source: Morningstar Blackbeard’s Amicable Settlement The most material issue facing the Trust when I first wrote about them was the dispute with Blackbeard Operating, LLC, which found that the firm’s legal position was unassailable. The August 2025 settlement enshrined a structured payment involving an initial $4.5 million payment within 30 days (received September 2025) and four quarterly installments of $1.125 million throughout 2026. As of February 2026, the Trust had received the first two quarterly installments on schedule, amounting to $6.75 million; $2.25 million of installments is still due. Beyond the monetary recovery, the settlement established crucial operational parameters going forward. The agreement fixed the overhead rate that Blackbeard may charge against the Trust's interests, permits pass-through charges for saltwater ...

Torsten Asmus/iStock via Getty Images Fertilizer Stocks Surge As Mideast Conflict Disrupts Supply Chains Industrial agriculture stocks experienced a significant rally as the war in the Middle East disrupted supply chains, including shipments of fertilizer and key raw materials. CF Industries ( CF ) soared to a record high last week, and industry peers Nutrien ( NTR ) and Mosaic ( MOS ) posted huge gains. As the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict continued to escalate, Brent oil topped $100/bbl while the broader market fell. Wall Street Journal One-third of the global seaborne fertilizer trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz, along with key inputs such as natural gas, ammonia, urea, sulfur, and phosphates. Iran’s de facto closure of the passage has investors betting North American fertilizer producers will take market share and expand margins, given they have access to cheaper natural gas than overseas competitors. Although traders are focused on oil, the lack of emergency supply for fertilizers like nitrogen might pose a bigger risk – and the repricing window may already be open, according to Teucrium’s Jake Hanley. “Here’s the part that should keep anyone in agriculture up at night: there is no strategic nitrogen reserve. The U.S. maintains hundreds of millions of barrels of crude in the SPR. There’s no equivalent for fertilizer," Hanley wrote in a blog post . "You can’t flip a switch." Oilseed giants Bunge Global ( BG ) and Archer Daniels Midland ( ADM ) have also outperformed since the conflict began on rising commodity prices. But the largest fertilizer and industrial agriculture companies have Hold ratings, lacking collective strength across SA Quant’s core Factor Grades: Valuation, Growth, Profitability, Momentum, and EPS Revisions. CF Industries, for example, is largely weighed down by an ‘F’ Growth Grade , driven by poor forward metrics including a -16% long-term EPS growth rate vs. the sector’s 13%. Weak growth has kept Nutrien at a Hold, while subpar profitabil...

Wall Street bounced back on Monday as investors looked past the increased oil prices and the ongoing Middle East conflict, focusing on recovering ground in U.S. stocks. The benchmark S&P 500 ( SP500 ) closed +1%, while the Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) ended +1.2%, and the blue-chip Dow Jones ( DJI ) finished +0.8%. U.S. Treasuries, however, were lower, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield ( US10Y ) 5 basis points lower at 4.23% and the 2-year Treasury yield ( US2Y ) 5 basis points lower at 3.68%. Crude oil futures ( CL1:COM ) dropped to $94.3, while Brent futures ( CO1:COM ) were at $100.8 per barrel. Now, here are three things to focus on for Tuesday: Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) has staged a little comeback , reaching $74,000 once again on Monday. According to analysts at CoinDesk, a move above $74,000 could trigger a rally toward $80,000, while a rejection would lead to a reversion to a trading range between $62,000 and $72,000. On the economic calendar, investors will receive the Business Leaders Survey from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, data on imports and exports, new residential construction, and the Pending Home Sales Index by the National Association of REALTORS. Lastly, companies expected to report on Tuesday include Elbit Systems ( ESLT ), Tencent Music Entertainment Group ( TME ), lululemon athletica ( LULU ), and Docusign ( DOCU ), among others.

Investing in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks can be a huge opportunity for investors right now. AI stocks are down big of late, but they still possess a lot of upside in the long run, as the AI revolution is in its early innings. Finding a quality AI stock that is down and that has room to rise higher can potentially lead to some significant returns later on. One AI stock that might fit that criteria is UiPath (PATH 0.09%). Entering trading this week, it has declined by close to 30% since the start of 2026. Could this be one of the best and most underrated AI stocks to buy right now? Why are investors bearish on UiPath? UiPath is involved in robotic process automation and has an automation platform for its customers; it's the type of company that you might expect to be thriving amid an AI boom. Companies are investing heavily in automation and agentic AI, and UiPath's software should be in high demand. However, the results don't seem to support that excitement and optimism. The company recently wrapped up its year-end results, and for the year ending Jan. 31, its revenue totaled $1.6 billion, which was a 13% increase from the previous year. That doesn't exactly scream growth. The good news was that at least the company turned a profit of $282.3 million (versus a loss of $73.7 million a year ago). For investors, however, that may simply not be enough to prove it's going to be a winner in AI. Expand NYSE : PATH UiPath Today's Change ( -0.09 %) $ -0.01 Current Price $ 11.57 Key Data Points Market Cap $6.2B Day's Range $ 11.47 - $ 11.88 52wk Range $ 9.38 - $ 19.84 Volume 39M Avg Vol 34M Gross Margin 83.87 % Is UiPath a good AI stock to buy today? Hype is one thing, but results are a whole other story. And unfortunately, UiPath hasn't been delivering the numbers needed to show that it's the real deal. The problem is that many businesses offer similar automation services, and if its growth rate isn't taking off, it may be indicative of the level of competition it face...

Finding a clear long-term winner in the artificial intelligence (AI) buildout isn't as simple as one may think. It's still unknown which company will be declared the winner of the generative AI model realm, and there may be multiple winners. Another possibility is that models become commoditized, and there's really no benefit to being a winner. There are also cloud infrastructure companies, but they have to spend a fortune building out their footprint to meet demand. One category I circle back to as clear winners is the chip companies. While there is still a ton of competition in the computing hardware space, there's really one winner that has emerged in chip fabrication: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM +0.55%). TSMC, as it's also known, is by far the leader in this realm, and I think it is a clear AI winner that investors shouldn't hesitate to buy right now. Taiwan Semiconductor is a neutral business Taiwan Semiconductor is a clear winner in AI because of its neutral position. In the computing unit space, the biggest names are Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, and Broadcom. All three of these companies source at least some, if not most, of their logic chips from Taiwan Semiconductor. This is because Taiwan Semiconductor has established itself as the most technologically advanced and top manufacturer of chips in the world. It doesn't matter whose computing unit is being used in AI, as Taiwan Semiconductor is likely supplying the chips being used within them. All that matters to TSMC is that there is increased AI spending, and all signs point to rising spending over the next few years.

Armor-Piercing Ammo Metal Up 557% As China Chokes Supply, War Demand Surges Tungsten, used in missiles, tank rounds, armor-piercing ammunition, and some smaller-caliber munitions, has surged in price over the last year as China curbed exports and global supplies tightened.
