11.33 GMT Democrats celebrate Noem ouster but warn of battle to come for future of DHS Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the day. Yesterday Donald Trump announced that he was replacing Kristi Noem as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security – the first cabinet official of Trump’s second administration to be ousted from their role. Democrats cheered her departure – Noem’s scandal-plagued tenure as secretary was marked by federal immigration crackdowns that created atmospheres of fear in cities around the country and resulted in immigration agents killing two US citizens – Renee Good and Alex Prett – in Minneapolis. “Hey, Kristi Noem, don’t let the door hit you on the way out,” Illinois governor JB Pritzker said on a video posted on X. “Here’s your legacy: Corruption and chaos. Parents and childrens tear-gassed. Moms and nurses – U.S. citizens – getting shot in the face.” But Democrats also warned the public to not forget that the issues with DHS won’t go away with Noem – and to hold her accountable for her time as secretary. “Of course, Kristi Noem deserved to be fired. But rather than spend energy celebrating this Trump setback, let’s recognize that the disaster of today’s DHS runs much deeper than the (former) secretary’s incompetence – and keep stepping up the political pressure,” former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg posted on X. “Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE,” Massachusetts senator Ed Markey said. “Firing her is not enough. Noem, Greg Bovino and Stephen Miller all must be held accountable for terrorizing and endangering the American people,” said Gavin Newsom, the California governor who has confirmed that he is considering a 2028 presidential run. One Democratic senator, Andy Kim, has already gone on the record to say he won’t be voting to confirm Trump’s next pick to head DHS – “Maga warrior” Markwayne Mullin, who serves in the Senate alongside Kim. Democratic Sen. Andy Kim, who vote...

Algonquin Power & Utilities (AQN) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.06 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.04 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.06 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +38.57%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this utility operator would post earnings of $0.06 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.09, delivering a surprise of +50%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. Algonquin Power & Utilities, which belongs to the Zacks Utility - Electric Power industry, posted revenues of $630.7 million for the quarter ended December 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10.90%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $584.8 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two 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. Algonquin Power & Utilities shares have added about 11.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 0.2%. What's Next for Algonquin Power & Utilities? While Algonquin Power & Utilities 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...

Key Points In Q4, Cloudflare signed its largest deal ever by annual contract value. Its revenue climbed 30% in 2025. The stock price dropped 16% over just a few days in February. 10 stocks we like better than Cloudflare › Cloud computing services provider Cloudflare (NYSE: NET) is often described as an invisible shield that keeps businesses more secure online. The company claims to protect 20% of all websites with its cybersecurity offerings. Doing that big job provided big rewards to its shareholders in 2025, as the stock price climbed 83%. However, near the end of February, Cloudflare stock sank sharply, which may have prompted some investors to question whether they can expect those types of gains to continue. 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 » Was this pullback an opportunity or a warning sign? Keeping security tight To describe Cloudflare's operations in detail, a person would have to invoke such jargony terms as DDoS mitigation, content delivery network, and transport layer security. Thankfully, as investors, we don't have to get that technical, as the company has a nice, straightforward elevator pitch on its website: "People use Cloudflare services for the purposes of increasing the security and performance of their websites and services." Essentially, it protects websites, apps, and software programs from attacks, and -- via a vast network of hardware spread out in nodes located closer to actual users -- speeds up the response times of those websites and services. It also lets companies build, deploy, and secure access for artificial intelligence (AI) agents to interact with various features of their apps. Its customers include Shopify, SoFi, and DoorDash. Sales are strong, as the company announced in Q4 2025, it closed its largest deal ever by annual contract value -- averagi...

Police have released Peter Mandelson from his bail conditions after deciding he was not a flight risk, the Guardian has learned. Sources say the Metropolitan police have decided to drop the conditions they applied after arresting him on suspicion of misconduct in public office last month, though he remains under investigation. Mandelson was arrested at his London home in late February as part of an investigation into whether he leaked Downing Street emails and market-sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein, the financier and child sex offender. Mandelson has denied any wrongdoing. The former cabinet minister said he was told by officers during his questioning that he had been arrested after a tip-off from the Commons speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, that he was planning to flee to the British Virgin Islands. The Met is understood to believe it made the right decision to arrest the peer, but has apologised to Hoyle for revealing his name. A Met spokesperson said: “A 72-year-old man arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office has been released under investigation. The investigation remains ongoing.” More details soon …

AbbVie ABBV reported encouraging fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results last month. While the company’s immunology portfolio accounted for the bulk of revenue growth, its neuroscience franchise continued to provide diversification and steady growth. This segment — which started with Botox Therapeutic and the depression drug Vraylar — includes oral migraine drugs Ubrelvy and Qulipta, along with the newer Parkinson’s disease (PD) therapy Vyalev. Sales of the neuroscience segment totaled $10.8 billion in 2025, accounting for roughly 18% of AbbVie’s total revenues. The metric rose nearly 20% year over year on a reported basis, primarily driven by higher sales of marketed products. The company reported double-digit sales growth across Botox Therapeutic, Vraylar, Qulipta and Ubrelvy. Additional momentum came from Vyalev, which generated sales worth $482 million in 2025, driven by strong uptake across all markets. Growth from this newer asset has helped offset declining sales of older therapies such as Duodopa. For the full-year 2026, AbbVie expects neuroscience franchise revenues of $12.5 billion, suggesting 16% growth from 2025 levels. While Botox Therapeutic sales are expected to grow in the high single-digit range, the company projects double-digit growth from several other drugs in the portfolio. ABBV expects Vyalev to cross the $1 billion mark in global sales, which is encouraging for a drug that was launched last year in the United States. Beyond the expected uptake of marketed therapies, AbbVie is preparing to expand this portfolio with new offerings. A regulatory filing is currently under FDA review seeking approval for a once-daily oral therapy for PD called tavapadon, backed by late-stage data showing symptomatic improvement across a broad patient group. If approved, tavapadon could launch later this year, broadening AbbVie’s PD footprint and strengthening the long-term contribution of its neuroscience segment.

Scott Olson | Getty Images While the U.S. war with Iran is playing out thousands of miles away, American consumers are already feeling financial ripple effects. The U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran over the weekend gave way to a week with topsy-turvy markets, spiking mortgage rates and higher prices at the pump. These changes can drag on already-lackluster consumer sentiment while further elevating affordability as a leading political issue. "Wars are never good for consumer sentiment," said Mark Brennan, an associate professor at New York University's Stern School of Business. "They might be good for munitions, manufacturers and lobbyists and all these clowns, but not good for the average consumer." An average gallon of gas in the U.S. hit $3.25 on Thursday, according to AAA . The one-week jump of 27 cents is similar to what was seen during the onset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the organization said. Gas' 8.5% increase over three days is the largest since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2008, according to an analysis from Bespoke Investment Group. With Friday's jump in oil prices , gas prices are set to climb even further. Gasoline futures trading in New York were up another 2% on Friday. Stock Chart Icon Stock chart icon RBOB Gas futures, 1 year To be sure, consumers had been feeling some relief on oil prices before this week's shock. The average price of a gallon fell to its lowest level since 2021 late last year, according to AAA. Mortgage rates climbing The 30-year mortgage rate jumped above 6.1% this week, according to Mortgage News Daily . The popular fixed-rate loan had previously traded below 6%, which was around multiyear lows. Mortgage rates broadly track the 10-year Treasury yield, which climbed back above 4% this week in the wake of the attack on Iran. Higher oil prices are raisin...

Shell plc SHEL, one of the world’s largest energy companies, has reportedly expanded its footprint in Venezuela through a series of critical agreements with the government, according to Reuters. These deals focus on offshore natural gas projects and onshore oil and gas ventures, positioning Shell as a major player in Venezuela's evolving energy sector. The strategic partnerships, which were finalized, include both technical and commercial collaborations with key local and international stakeholders, further cementing Shell’s long-term commitment to Venezuela’s oil and gas industry. Strategic Offshore Natural Gas Developments The centerpiece of Shell’s latest agreements in Venezuela is the long-running Dragon gas project, a significant offshore natural gas initiative. Shell has faced numerous challenges in recent years as shifting U.S. policies impacted its operations, but recent developments have provided a clear path forward. Following the issuance of new general licenses for oil and gas exploration by the U.S. government, Shell is now able to move ahead with the Dragon gas project. The Dragon project, which has been in the works for several years, is vital to the region’s energy infrastructure. Once fully developed, it is expected to provide a crucial source of natural gas, boosting both local energy output and export potential. The project is poised to deliver its first gas to Trinidad by the third quarter of 2027, a significant milestone that will enhance the supply to the Atlantic LNG plant, one of the largest liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) facilities in the Caribbean. Role of Trinidad in Shell’s Gas Plans Trinidad and Tobago, a key partner in Shell’s Dragon gas project, stands to benefit substantially from this initiative. The goal is to significantly increase output at the Atlantic LNG plant, a joint venture between Shell, BP plc BP and the National Gas Company of Trinidad. This collaboration aims to boost LNG production capacity, which has been hindered in re...

Key Points The programmatic advertising specialist is still seeing respectable revenue growth. If the company can reaccelerate its growth, the stock should rise accordingly. Meanwhile, the shares have fallen to an incredibly attractive valuation. 10 stocks we like better than The Trade Desk › Few stocks have had as rough a go over the past year as The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD). Revenue growth has been slowing, which has caused investors to panic. It also can't seem to keep a person employed at the CFO position, which is another red flag. All this has added up to a stock that is down over 80% from its all-time high. However, I think this sell-off is overdone. While I agree that The Trade Desk shouldn't be trading at the same premium that it was before the sell-off, today's price is just way too cheap for the business that The Trade Desk is. I think the market may realize that and cause a market rally. 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 » This could propel The Trade Desk to be one of the best-performing stocks in 2026, making it a great buy now. The Trade Desk is still growing at a market-matching pace During the fourth quarter, The Trade Desk's revenue grew at a 14% pace. However, it was its first-quarter guidance that gave investors the scare. It expects at least $678 million in revenue, indcating 10% growth. Since The Trade Desk was growing at over a 20% pace just a year ago, this slowdown is very concerning. However, I don't think it's so concerning that the stock should be trading as cheaply as it is. At a price-to-earnings ratio of 26 and a forward earnings ratio of under 12, The Trade Desk looks like an unreal deal right now. I believe it is, as the S&P 500 trades for 25.8 times trailing earnings and 21.9 times forward earnings. While the trailing earnings metric looks a bit expensi...

Aehr Test Systems (AEHR 5.09%) stock managed to post explosive gains in February despite a bearish backdrop for tech stocks. The company's share price rocketed 46% higher in the month even as the S&P 500 fell 0.9% and the Nasdaq Composite declined 3.4%. While the broader market saw a pullback in response to tech-sector valuation concerns and macroeconomic news, Aehr stock moved higher thanks to the announcements of new contract wins. The stock is now up 100.5% year to date. Aehr stock surged in response to major contract wins Aehr stock got a big boost after the company published a press release on Feb. 11 announcing that it had secured a significant contract for testing and burn-in systems used for artificial intelligence (AI) chips. The company said that the order for its Sonoma systems came from its lead production customer and would be used for the purchaser's next-generation application specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Aehr followed the news up with an additional press release on Feb. 26 stating that it had secured a $14 million order from the same customer for its FOX systems, WaferPak contractors, and Automated WaferPak Auto Aligners products for semiconductors used in AI data centers.
