The S&P 500 ( SP500 ) closed in the red on Friday, after the week saw escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and military confrontations between the U.S. and Iran. For the week, Nasdaq ( COMP:IND ) was mostly flat, while Dow ( DJI ) lost 1.9%, respectively. Wall Street had a slew of upgrades and downgrades from analysts. Here are some of the major calls for the week: MongoDB in focus after Q4 results Baird downgraded MongoDB ( MDB ) to Neutral from Outperform and reduced its price target by nearly 50%, to $260 from $500, following the company’s fourth-quarter results. “While growth would have been 30% normalized for a bundling impact, it still missed investor expectations (investors were looking for the fourth consecutive quarter of acceleration). The weaker-than-expected FQ4 beat also affects the starting point for FQ1 and F2027,” said Baird analysts William Power and Yanni Samoilis. Barclays reduced its price target to $370 from $440 on the stock, while Needham slashed its price target by 40% to $300 from $500. Citi, Wedbush, and Wolfe Research also lowered PT. Citi, which maintained its Buy rating, said “the market reaction was overdone.” Wedbush analyst Dan Ives also maintained Outperform rating. "While this was a major hiccup, we remain positive on the name as new and existing customers leverage its platform to modernize legacy applications while driving margin expansion and cash flow generation,” Ives said. Tesla gets a bull rating from BofA Bank of America picked up coverage on Tesla ( TSLA ) reinstating the stock with a Buy rating. The firm called the EV maker the current leader in consumer autonomy. BofA set a price objective of $460 on the stock. "We expect TSLA to quickly become a leader in robotaxi services, given its ability to scale more profitably than competitors. We see autonomous vehicles spurring the next era of mobility and, as the most significant change agent in the Auto 2.0 landscape, offering consumers the prospect of saving time...

As of this writing (March 5), Tesla (TSLA 2.07%) stock is trading for roughly $404 per share -- equating to a market capitalization of $1.3 trillion. This valuation reflects a high degree of collective optimism following an otherwise volatile performance in 2025. Many analysts on Wall Street view Tesla through the lens of an automotive manufacturer -- obsessed with the company's quarterly vehicle delivery and production figures. The smartest money, however, is looking at something else entirely: Tesla's vision to become a services business powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Below, I'll break down how Tesla stock could potentially reach over $2,000 per share by 2030 as the company evolves from a car company and into a distributed physical AI ecosystem. Key 1: Monetizing full self-driving at scale The first crux of Tesla's long-term bull thesis revolves around its ambitions in autonomous driving. In Tesla's recent earnings report, investors learned that subscriptions to the company's full self-driving (FSD) platform grew 38% year over year to 1.1 million paid customers. This represents 12% of Tesla's all-time cumulative vehicle deliveries. As Tesla inches closer to 8 billion cumulative miles driven with FSD, more regulators will hopefully understand and accept the case for Tesla launching a global robotaxi service. If Tesla can capture a mere fraction of the estimated $10 trillion robotaxi market, the company's automotive hardware becomes the path to unlock a recurring, high-margin software operation. Key 2: Scaling Optimus globally This year, Tesla is entering its long-awaited foray into AI-powered robotics. According to CEO Elon Musk, Tesla hopes to transition from prototype to actual production of its humanoid robot, Optimus, by year-end. The long-term upside with Optimus revolves around Tesla's ability to scale Optimus in a way that profits from labor arbitrage. In other words, Tesla must execute on building and commercializing a general-purpose robot that c...

USA Rare Earth (USAR 8.22%) recently updated investors on its medium-term plans as it enters a multiyear execution period, backed by U.S. government and private investment. Buying the stock is not a straightforward investment proposition, as many dynamic factors are at play. Still, the stock will definitely interest investors who like to manifest strongly held political views. Here's why. Heavy and light rare earths The odd thing about the company is that it's arguably more strategically important than its peer, MP Materials (MP 0.43%), yet it's not supported with the same favorable terms. USA Rare Earth's Round Top deposit is a rhyolite laccolith rich in crucial heavy rare-earth elements (HREE), such as dysprosium and terbium. Meanwhile, MP Materials' Mountain Pass is a carbonatite deposit containing light rare earth elements (LREEs), notably neodymium and praseodymium. HREEs trade at significantly higher prices than LREEs, with USA Rare Earth management arguing that they trade at 10x-100x the price of LREEs. HREE prices reflect their scarcity, their crucial role in missiles, drones, and electric vehicles, and China's near-total monopoly on them. LREEs are high-volume rare earths that are easier to procure in the West. Comparing USA Rare Earth and MP Materials Investors may be wondering why MP Materials received a deal involving 10-year pricing-floor commitments for its NdPr (neodymium-praseodymium) products and a Department of Defense agreement ensuring that "100% of the magnets produced at the 10X Facility will be purchased by defense and commercial customers, with shared upside," while USA Rare Earth only received government and private investment as well as loans. One answer lies in the fact that Mountain Pass is operational now and MP Materials is producing magnets, with a significant ramp-up when the 10X Facility is built. In comparison, USA Rare Earth plans to start producing magnets at its Stillwater facility in due course, while Round Top is expected to be...

OGULCAN AKSOY/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Wall Street ended the week lower as a conflict in the Middle East erupted after Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed, triggering war escalations and uncertainty within oil supply chains. The S&P (SP500) lost 2.0% , while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (COMP:IND) dipped 1.2% , and the blue-chip Dow (DJI) fell 3.0% . Financials extended losses for the second straight week. The State Street Financial Sel Sec SPDR ETF ( XLF ) was down 1.67% from the prior week to $50.57. The Middle East conflict adds to concerns around consumer confidence. Investors were already anxious over the potential impact of AI on the labor force and credit quality in lending to non-depository financial institutions, S&P Global Market Intelligence reported , citing Piper Sandler analyst Scott Siefers. Last week, HSBC Holdings ( HSBC ) stood out as a clear winner among the megacap stocks. However, this week the stock recorded the largest loss in the category. HSBC fell 9.78% week-over-week to $84.05. This week, bank stocks largely underperformed as the Middle East war clouded an already uncertain economic outlook, according to a note by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The war disrupted the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz and caused a spike in oil prices, the report noted. Large banks followed in the list, with Goldman Sachs Group ( GS ) pulling back by 4.44% to $821.42, Morgan Stanley ( MS ) down 3.75% W/W to $160.27, and JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) falling 3.60% to $289.48. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said in a speech at a business summit on Wednesday that he was surprised at the "benign" reaction in financial markets over the conflict in the Middle East, and it may take a "couple of weeks" for investors to more fully digest the impacts, Reuters reported . Notably, Morgan Stanley was said to be eliminating roughly 3% of its global workforce, or about 2,500 jobs. Among largecap stocks, Rocket Companies ( RKT ) topped th...

An 18-year-old Black water polo player filed a lawsuit against one of Los Angeles’s most elite private schools last week, alleging he was sexually assaulted and racially harassed by teammates for years while school staff failed to intervene. Aidan Romain is accusing Harvard-Westlake school in Studio City; its president, Richard Commons; the head of the boys’ water polo program, Jack Grover; and former teammate Lucca van der Woude of allowing a “culture of harassment” within the elite program. The lawsuit was filed on 27 February in Los Angeles superior court. The allegations strike at the heart of one of southern California’s most prominent private schools and a highly competitive high school water polo program. In the lawsuit, Romain and his family argue that school officials ignored or minimized reports of abuse to protect the team and one of its star players: Van der Woude. “Despite repeated, direct disclosures of sexual assault, the school failed to report the abuse, failed to remove the perpetrator, and instead retaliated against the victim,” reads the complaint. View image in fullscreen Aidan Romain. Photograph: Courtesy of Daniel Watkins Romain said the abuse began in August 2022 when he was 14 years old and the only freshman on the varsity team. According to the complaint, Van der Woude allegedly repeatedly digitally penetrated him in locations around campus, including the pool, locker room, showers, weight room and a staircase. The reported harassment, which allegedly involved forcibly and without consent touching Romain’s genitals, lasted through January 2024. According to the complaint, Romain also endured “racial slurs, racially-charged comments, and racist attacks” by his teammates. “Harvard-Westlake will not offer specific comment other than to say that it unequivocally disputes many of the allegations in the lawsuit because they mischaracterize facts and the school’s actions,” the school said in a statement. “The school treated reports of inappropriat...

Washington’s decapitation operation in Iran would push Pyongyang to feel “vindicated” in developing nuclear weapons for its own security and move closer to China and Russia to bolster its deterrence capabilities, according to analysts. On Wednesday, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un inspected the test firing of what the country’s state media called a “strategic cruise missile” from the new 5,000-tonne naval destroyer Choe Hyon before the vessel’s official commissioning. Kim hailed the warship as a “new symbol of sea-defence capability” after it completed a shakedown cruise as part of the destroyer’s sea trials on Tuesday. Advertisement The North Korean leader said his country had seen “satisfactory progress” in building “the most powerful navy” equipped with nuclear-capable systems. “Our navy’s forces for attacking from under and above water will grow rapidly … All these successes constitute a radical change in defending our maritime sovereignty, something that we have not achieved for half a century,” Kim said, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency.

Oksana Masters led a United States one-two finish in the women’s 7.5km sitting sprint on Saturday, winning gold to deliver the United States’ first medals of the Milano Cortina Winter Paralympics. Masters crossed the line in 21:21.3 at Val di Fiemme, coming in 16 seconds ahead of teammate Kendall Gretsch, who took silver. Both Americans shot a perfect 10-for-10 on the range, leaving the race to be decided on the snow. Masters proved fastest over the course, pulling away from Gretsch on the final lap to secure the 10th Paralympic gold medal of her career. Germany’s Anja Wicker claimed bronze. The victory was the 20th Paralympic medal overall for Masters, already the most decorated winter athlete in US Paralympic history. The 36-year-old has previously won titles in Para cross-country skiing and Para-cycling in addition to biathlon. Masters said sharing the podium with Gretsch made the moment even more meaningful. “It’s incredible to have one and two for the USA,” she said. “Not just one and two USA, but with your friend who is also a great competitor. She pushes me on the range and we push each other on the course.” The gold came after a difficult buildup to the Games for Masters, who said she dealt with surgery during the summer and health setbacks in recent weeks, including an infection and a concussion that limited her training. According to NBC research, Masters becomes the sixth American to win 20 or more medals at the Winter and Summer Paralympics, joining Trischa Zorn (55), Jessica Long (31), Tatyana McFadden (22), Sharon Myers (21) and Bart Dodson (20). Para biathlon competition continues Sunday in Val di Fiemme with the individual events as athletes contest additional medals across the sitting, standing and visually impaired classifications.

bymuratdeniz/iStock via Getty Images Kuwait, one of the world's largest oil producers, has reduced crude oil production and refining as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East causes ripple effects across the region, including a near-total shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime checkpoint. Kuwait Petroleum Corp. announced in a statement on Saturday that the “precautionary” measures were implemented as part of the company’s risk management and business continuity strategies. “In light of the ongoing aggression by the Islamic Republic of Iran against the State of Kuwait, including Iranian threats against safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, KPC has implemented a precautionary reduction in crude oil production and refining throughput,” the company said in an X post. “KPC emphasizes that this adjustment is strictly precautionary and will be reviewed as the situation develops. It remains fully prepared to restore production levels once conditions allow.” The announcement comes at a time when other Gulf states have taken similar steps as the conflict drags on. Following a drone strike, Saudi Arabia’s Aramco ( ARMCO ) shut down its Ras Tanura refinery, one of the largest in the region, as a precautionary measure earlier this week.

European Nationalists Rally Around Orbán Following Zelensky's "Outrageous" Remarks Authored by Thomas Brooke via Remix News, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has condemned remarks by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Budapest says amounted to a threat against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Responding to comments made during a press briefing in Kyiv on Thursday, Szijjártó said the statement was “beyond every limit” and reflected what he described as “the kind of ‘culture’ coming from Kyiv.” “This is the man Brussels admires and the country they want to fast-track into the European Union,” Szijjártó said. “No one can threaten Hungary or its prime minister. No one can blackmail us just because we refuse to pay the price of Ukraine’s war and refuse to accept higher energy prices because of Ukraine.” Zelensky had been speaking to compatriots about the proposed €90 billion European funding package for Ukraine, and warned that a single EU leader should not block the measure, widely interpreted as meaning Viktor Orbán. “We hope that in the European Union, one person will not block the 90 billion [euros]. Otherwise, we will give this person’s address to the armed forces, to our guys, let them call him and talk to him in their own language,” Zelensky said. Zelensky issues dire threat to Hungarian PM Orbán if he continues to block €90 billion in loans to Ukraine. "We hope this one person [Orban] in the EU will not block €90 billion aid. Otherwise, we will give this person's address to our armed forces." pic.twitter.com/ayoSJlDCEs — Remix News & Views (@RMXnews) March 5, 2026 The Patriots for Europe group in the European Parliament also criticized the comments , saying that “statements suggesting intimidation or threats of violence are incompatible with democratic principles and with the spirit of mutual respect that should guide relations between partners.” The group noted that EU member states have already provided approximately €200 billion in support to Uk...

Key Points The amount of money you get from Social Security each month depends partially on your filing age. Many people rush to claim Social Security as early as possible. Doing so could hurt you more than you think. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › The decision to claim Social Security is not an easy one. Though your monthly benefits are calculated based on your personal earnings history, your filing age also plays a big role in determining how much money you get each month. A lot of seniors are tempted to file for benefits as early as possible. But if you make that decision without thinking things through, it could end up costing you in the long run. 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 » The problem with claiming Social Security early Age 62 is the earliest age you can file for Social Security. But you won't get your monthly benefits in full until age 67, which is full retirement age, if you were born in 1960 or later. It can be tempting to claim your benefits as soon as they become available to you. But realize that filing early doesn't just result in a temporary reduction in your Social Security checks. Rather, that reduction is permanent. And it also trickles down to smaller raises over time. Each year, Social Security benefits are eligible for a cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, so they're able to keep up with inflation. If you reduce your benefits by filing early, your COLAs, in turn, will also be smaller. Here's an example to illustrate the danger of filing early. Let's say you're eligible for $2,000 a month in Social Security at a full retirement age of 67. If you file at 62, you'll get $1,400 a month instead. Now, let's say Social Security benefits get a 3% COLA. If you're starting with a $2,000 monthly benefit, that COLA is worth $60. If...

Millwall moved five points clear of Hull in the Championship playoffs and closed the gap on second-placed Middlesbrough for 24 hours at least as second-half goals from substitute Mihailo Ivanovic and Josh Coburn earned their side a 3-1 win at the MKM Stadium. Ivanovic cashed in on the goalkeeper Ivor Pandur’s error in the 70th minute before Coburn’s fierce hit eight minutes later provided Alex Neil’s side with a victory that had looked highly unlikely after a one-sided first half. The visitors opened the scoring after 14 minutes through Jake Cooper’s instinctive volley from close range, but they were extremely fortunate to have been level at the break. Hull, who twice struck the bar and had a goal disallowed in a breathless first half, equalised four minutes later when Joe Gelhardt scored his 12th of the season.
