Key Points MPLX expects to grow its earnings at a mid-single-digit annual rate. The midstream giant is steadily buying back its units. The MLP trades at a discount to pipeline corporations. 10 stocks we like better than MPLX › Units of MPLX (NYSE: MPLX) have soared more than 20% since bottoming out last fall, rising from below $50 to around $60. Several factors have helped fuel the surge in the master limited partnership's (MLP) unit price, including higher oil prices and its expansion initiatives. Here's a look at whether the MLP has the fuel to reach $100. 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 steady growth should continue MPLX is coming off another solid year. The MLP generated over $7 billion of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), up nearly 4% from 2024's level. That's at the low end of its target of delivering mid-single-digit adjusted EBITDA growth. The pipeline company has plenty of fuel to grow within that target range in the coming years. It invested $5.5 billion in growth initiatives last year (acquisitions and growth capital projects) and plans to spend another $2.4 billion in growth capital this year. MPLX has a long list of expansion projects under construction that should come online through the end of the decade. If MPLX grows its earnings at 5% per year, its unit price could reach $100 within a decade, assuming no change in its valuation multiple. Two additional fuel sources MPLX could grow its earnings per unit even faster by continuing to repurchase units. Last year, the MLP completed $400 million of repurchases. Over the past five years, the company has retired nearly 2% of its outstanding units, more than offsetting the dilution from newly issued units. Future repurchases could enable MPLX to grow earnings per unit fa...

鼓励专用推理芯片的国产化发展。 2026年全国两会即将召开，全国政协委员、360集团创始人周鸿祎拟围绕推理算力、智能体技术与人才发展、智能安全三方面提交提案。 周鸿祎认为，我国经历“百模大战”后，有了很多“国际一流”的开源模型，国家主导的训练算力稳步提升，推理算力需求在“百亿智能体时代”呈指数级增长，专用推理芯片是我国芯片产业实现差异化突围的重要方向。 目前，我国算力中心面向推理任务的专用集群存在缺口，区域间供需适配有待优化，专用推理芯片技术也亟需突破。周鸿祎建议优化推理算力布局：国家出台推理算力布局指导政策，依据各地场景密度、算力缺口、能源保障能力，建立“全国统筹 + 区域细化” 的推理算力布局体系，在重点产业集聚区域，建设低时延、高密度的推理算力集群。 另外，强化一体化调度，推动跨层级、跨区域的算力资源动态调配，提升推理算力利用效率。鼓励专用推理芯片的国产化发展，重点突破高精度、低时延、多模态的芯片技术，实现产业链自主可控，支持智能体技术的深度应用。 采访中，周鸿祎表示，国产大模型未达到及格线时，重视训练算力是合理的，但如今极度消耗推理算力的智能体落地成为行业重点，发展推理芯片不仅能够降低云端成本，还能支撑企业私有化部署与端侧智能硬件落地，具有重大战略意义。 另外在加速智能体产业应用方面，周鸿祎建议实施技术与人才“双线赋能”战略。在智能体安全方面，建议推动安全智能体的场景化应用，支持安全技术生态化创新。

FREDERICA ABAN/iStock via Getty Images Market Review Global equities rose in the fourth quarter, with signs that market leadership was beginning to broaden. Notably, the monthslong artificial intelligence (AI)-driven rally appeared to enter a new phase, with investors becoming increasingly cautious about the sustainability of elevated AI capital expenditure. Many perceived AI winners—mainly companies investing in or enabling AI infrastructure—sold off as the pace of spending on chips and data centers, which has been significantly reliant on debt financing, showed no signs of moderating, leading many to question the returns such investments would ultimately generate. However, AI-linked stocks staged a recovery in the closing weeks of the period; ultimately, nine of the top 10 contributors to the MSCI All Country World Index’s fourth-quarter gain were AI-levered names, which, combined, accounted for 62% of the index’s return. In the US, investors cheered as the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates at three consecutive policy meetings despite disagreements among officials about the path ahead. At its December policy meeting, the central bank hinted that it would likely pause further cuts as it collects more data to assess labor market and inflation conditions. Investors also reacted positively to a delayed release of third-quarter US GDP data showing stronger than expected growth driven by resilient consumer spending, powering stocks in the region to new highs toward the end of the period. Meanwhile in Europe, stocks advanced after the European Central Bank held interest rates steady amid signs that the eurozone’s economic outlook was improving, suggesting its easing cycle was largely complete. The Bank of England lowered interest rates in December to their lowest level in nearly three years but signaled a slower pace of future reductions. Central banks in Switzerland, Sweden, and Norway left their key interest rates unchanged during the quarter. In Japan, equities r...

欧盟一位高级议员告诉媒体，当美国和以色列在周六早上打击伊朗时，欧洲“很少有人”提前获知空袭即将开始。 欧洲议会议员、伊朗关系代表团团长汉娜·诺伊曼周二表示：“很少有人得到通知。” 她告诉媒体称，就连欧盟最大经济体的领导人、德国总理弗里德里希·默茨也“只是提前几分钟才得到通知”。 通知的缺失反映出，在中东冲突加剧进入第四天之际，欧洲在很大程度上被边缘化，而冲突更广泛的经济影响正给欧洲大陆带来潜在的动荡。 欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩和欧洲理事会主席阿尔贝托·科斯塔周六发表初步声明，称欧盟正在关切地关注事态发展，并“坚定承诺维护地区安全与稳定”。 周日，欧盟表示将保护欧盟的安全和利益，“包括通过额外的制裁”。但默茨似乎与此保持距离，称制裁并未奏效，使用武力是适当的。 他在周日的一次演讲中说：“我们还没有准备好，在必要时使用军事力量来强制执行根本利益。因此，现在不是对我们的伙伴和盟友说教的时候。尽管我们心存疑虑，但我们认同他们的许多目标，却无法真正实现这些目标。” 欧洲可能对美国具有影响力的一个领域是华盛顿对其军事基地的使用权，这些基地使其能够更容易地发动攻击。 英国最初拒绝允许美国使用其军事基地，从而失宠于特朗普，但在周一突然转变立场，允许将这些基地用于对伊朗导弹基地的“防御性”打击。 尽管英国改变了主意，特朗普还是在接受两家英国报纸采访时谴责了首相基尔·斯塔默。 他告诉媒体称，他“非常失望”，美国获得英国基地使用权“花了太长时间”。特朗普则公开对媒体表示美英关系“已非往昔”。 “严重”的报复 特朗普周一表示，随着哈梅内伊死后伊朗政权被削弱，“这是我们最后也是最好的打击机会。” 特朗普在白宫表示：“我们现在正在做的，是消除这个病态阴险的政权所构成的不可容忍的威胁。” 欧盟表示支持美国防止伊朗拥有核武库的目标，但欧洲领导人担心军事行动是否违反国际法。 欧盟在周日的声明中表示：“伊朗与国际原子能机构的全面合作，以及伊朗遵守《不扩散核武器条约》和《全面保障监督协定》下的法律义务至关重要，核安全是一个关键的优先事项。” 欧洲议会议员诺伊曼告诉媒体，欧盟的当务之急是处理对欧盟的影响，“以及看看我们能做些什么，与我们在海湾地区的伙伴一起缓和局势”。 当被问及欧盟是否几乎不可能在缓和紧张局势方面发挥作用时，诺伊曼表示，尽管德黑兰现政权在海湾地区发动了报复性袭击，并且对外交表现出缺...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have completed a $170 million purchase of a mansion on Indian Creek Island in Biscayne Bay, in a deal that people familiar with the matter say closed on Monday and may reset expectations for the top end of Miami's housing market. The property at 7 Indian Creek Island Road was acquired from celebrity plastic surgeon Aaron Rollins and his wife, Marine, and includes a partially completed mansion. At $170 million, the transaction surpasses the prior Miami-Dade County record set in 2025, when developer Vlad Doronin sold his Star Island estate for $120 million, marking what appears to be a new benchmark for the region. The acquisition places Zuckerberg among a widening group of Silicon Valley billionaires purchasing ultra-luxury properties in South Florida, a trend that has gathered pace following discussion of a proposed billionaires' tax in California. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) co-founder Larry Page has spent $188 million on three Miami-area properties, while Sergey Brin is purchasing a $50 million home in Miami Beach. Indian Creek, often referred to as the billionaire bunker, functions as its own municipality, with private roads, a country club and golf course closed to the public, and counts Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Carl Icahn (Trades, Portfolio) and Tom Brady among its residents. Danny Hertzberg of the Jills-Zeder Group, who represented the sellers, described the deal as the highest sale in Miami's history by a wide margin and suggested it could signal additional nine-figure transactions, pointing to other properties and offers currently in the market. Zuckerberg, whose net worth is listed at $231 billion on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, already owns homes in Palo Alto and Lake Tahoe, California, as well as in Washington, DC, and on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. It remains uncertain whether the Miami property will serve as a primary res...

The global economy must be reordered to ensure it serves ordinary people around the world rather than the “frivolous and destructive demands of the ultra-rich,” according to a leading UN figure. Olivier De Schutter, the UN special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, says politicians must stop prioritising “socially and ecologically destructive growth” that only increases the profits – and serves the consumption demands – of the world’s richest individuals and corporations. Instead, to tackle the interwoven crises of rising inequality, ecological collapse and a resurgent far-right politics, a new economic agenda is needed. “The scarce resources we have should be used to prioritise the basic needs of people in poverty and to create what is of societal value rather than serve the frivolous desires of the ultra-rich.” De Schutter said an economy that uses its limited resources to prioritise building large mansions rather than social housing, or powerful cars rather than public transportation systems is “grossly inefficient” and “will inevitably fail to satisfy the basic needs of people living on low incomes”. The intervention follows the Guardian’s Beyond Growth series published last month which highlighted calls for an end to the relentless focus on indiscriminate growth that critics say is driving not only ecological collapse but also rising inequality. Next month, De Schutter said he will publish his “roadmap for eradicating poverty beyond growth”, the result of an informal “beyond growth coalition” he formed that includes UN agencies, academics, civil society and unions. The aim of the roadmap is to expand the range of policy options available to governments, multilateral institutions and development agencies in the fight against poverty. Among the moves it is considering are a universal basic income, job guarantees, debt cancellation or an extreme wealth tax. Critically, De Schutter says the roadmap will coincide with two other initiatives: one instigat...

bopav/iStock via Getty Images The Defiance R2000 Weekly Distribution ETF ( IWMY ) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund designed to provide investors with weekly income by managing a call options strategy on the Russell 2000 Index (RUT). The strategy was designed to target a 30% annualized distribution rate, an appealing value proposition if executed accordingly. The strategy currently provides full exposure to the Russell 2000 Index through the use of short- and long-dated call options with no direct exposure to a tracking ETF. Investment Case for IWMY IWMY will inherently provide investors with indirect exposure to the Russell 2000 Index through the purchase and sale of call options as well as direct exposure through the use of Index-tracking ETFs. The current makeup of the portfolio is entirely invested in a call options strategy with no direct exposure to the Index. With the current holdings, IWMY is essentially a synthetic covered call strategy, purchasing long-dated call options on the underlying Index while selling short-dated call options. Corporate Filings While many investors may criticize covered call strategies for their performance relative to the underlying Index, I believe there may be value in investing in these types of strategies. As an alternative equity strategy designed to maximize income, I’d argue that buy-write and covered call strategies may be more appropriately categorized as a hybrid fixed income strategy, more appropriately compared to high-yield fixed income funds. Though derivatives may expose investors to greater risk relative to high-yield corporate bond funds or preferred shares, the nature of the overall fund strategy is relatively similar in which the portfolio invests in riskier assets with the intention of gaining high income exposure. The key risks involved in investing in IWMY are geared more towards the time value of the options strategy, particularly the long-dated call options that are used to gain long exposure to th...

Krot Studio/iStock via Getty Images Westlake ( WLK ) is dealing with volume and pricing pressure particularly in the performance and essential materials segment - things like chlorovinyls, PVC resin and polyethylene. Significant supply shutdowns have been undertaken to improve EBITDA and react to oversupply in the industry both domestically and in export markets and those exposed to tariffs on China, discussed in our previous coverage . These have seemed to have bottomed out the market but sustained improvement is unclear and based on demand. Tensions in the Middle East will also be helping make more scarce the part of the petrochem value chain that WLK participates in downstream of ethylene. We made a relative valuation argument on the basis that the more specialty businesses look a little ignored at WLK. But the underlying markets are not very good, also for the specialty businesses in terms of volume, with housing starts as one metric not really picking up despite lower rates. Higher oil prices are also not going to be helping matters as it will be a cost push increase to ethylene prices, which we have understood they offtake from ( WLKP ) at a markup still. Though stalled, vertically integrated petrhochem capacity in affected regions will be a positive supply effect for the operational assets under WLK in the ethylene value chain. Cost push inflation may also prevent some of the pernicious effects of when prices are expected to fall, and suppliers therefore run lower inventories than normal - a prevention of deflationary spirals. Shut capacity is a little constructive to prices in some markets but it's coming from capitulation by Westlake and other producers, so it's not good news as it reflects a pretty poor demand environment which we aren't expecting to improve particularly quickly given macro dynamics, with unemployment still quite high and the rate cuts not yet really juicing real estate activity. But there are considerable cost improvements coming. If thos...

The company was hoping that the trial could serve as the backbone to a BLA. Then, uniQure intended to meet with the FDA. While I argued that AMT-130’s Phase 1/2 data is the “most clinically persuasive in Huntington's to date, and there is value in that,” I didn’t think it was unreasonable for the FDA to request more robust data. Although a 2026 BLA was apparently off the table, I thought that QURE was worth speculation (“Buy”) “should AMT-130 regain a credible path.” That said, an easy path wasn’t my base case for QURE. I modeled AMT-130 with the assumption that uniQure would need a new clinical trial. On Monday, the company revealed that the FDA “strongly recommended uniQure to conduct a prospective, randomized, double-blind, sham surgery-controlled study.” Data by YCharts I take a closer look below. The Bad News The Phase 1/2 data I talked about back in October 2025 , while promising (“75% reduction in Huntington’s progression per cUHDRS at 36 months"), had obvious limitations (e.g., small sample size and use of external controls). And AMT-130 is clearly not something to quickly “pat down.” It involves invasive neurosurgery, and follow-up has been limited. So it makes sense that the FDA would require rigorous clinical trial data before green-lighting it. Events like these are of particular interest to me because there are tangible ways to measure market expectations. Why do these biotech stocks fall like this on news like this? When I originally modeled AMT-130 back in October, my Probability of Success was 75% because the company had reported that it was aligned with the FDA regarding a BLA via the accelerated approval path. My Market Entry Year was set at 2027 (BLA filing 202...

mphillips007/iStock via Getty Images The first thing to understand about your portfolio is that the numbers on the right-hand side of your statement, listing the current value of stocks, bonds, and other assets, do not actually sum up to what you would realize if you sold them. They actually overstate the value of your holdings, possibly by a very large amount. The amount will vary widely depending upon the amount of time you have held your assets (most likely stocks) and the level of success you have had with stock selection. Long term success produces a portfolio with long-term capital gains taxes embedded in the stock price, which will have to be paid when you sell. The amount you must pay, of course, depends upon your tax bracket, federal and state. You must also consider your age and the probable amount of time before you need to realize cash or pass the stock over to an heir. It's important to remember that the number you see when you look at your portfolio reflects what the market thinks of your various stocks at a particular moment. You should always have a broad estimate of its fair value and how far its current price diverges from it. A bear market generally occurs at a moment when stock prices as a whole are overvalued, and some very solid companies get pulled up with the market leaders to a point from which these stocks are also overvalued. It's a basic market principle that the majority of stocks move in the same direction as the market. The question is how much they move and for how long. My poster child for stocks pulled up by the market has for several years been Walmart ( WMT ), a great company that has seen its price rise to a P/E ratio of more than 43, at which its expected return is 2.3% per annum. This is about what my hometown bank passbook yielded in the 1950s when my father introduced me to savings and interest rates. What are people thinking when they buy a slow-growing stock like WMT with the basic equity risks? It should be noted that WMT ...
