Shortly after the opening bell, we will initiate a position in Cardinal Health , buying 170 shares at roughly $229. Following the trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own about 1% of Cardinal Health. Stocks are expected to open sharply lower on Monday as markets react to weekend strikes on Iran, with crude oil climbing above $70 per barrel and fueling worries about geopolitical risk and rising inflation. The pullback adds complexity to a market already struggling with the perceived future risks AI poses to the labor market and enterprise software companies. In his Sunday column, Jim outlined how investors are trying to navigate this period of uncertainty, and appropriately, our cash position is unusually high, providing us with a buffer in this decline. Thanks to a number of profit-taking moves and portfolio exits, our cash position is at about 15% of the portfolio. This gives us the firepower to pick up stocks that are being irrationally dragged down in the broader market sell-off and, later on, pick up other high-quality names that have come down too far. One such company is our most recent addition to the Bullpen: Cardinal Health. This backbone of the U.S. health-care industry generates about 99% of its revenue domestically, insulating it from overseas pressure. We laid out our case for Cardinal Health on Friday. It plays a major role in the health-care supply chain by supplying and distributing medicines and medical products to hospitals, retail pharmacies, and clinics. It operates effectively as an oligopoly dominated by three players, including McKesson and Cencora . It buys prescription drugs from manufacturers and distributes them to hospitals, retail pharmacies, and clinics. It manufactures and distributes items such as surgical products, examination gloves, and other medical products and supplies. It provides health-care services and solutions, including inventory management and supply chain support. A significant long-term tailwind for Cardinal Healt...

hapabapa Dutch Bros ( BROS ) landed an upgrade from Goldman Sachs on Monday as the analyst team pointed to the chain's continued unit growth and same-store sales growth stories. Notably, Dutch Bros ( BROS ) is seen as having a durable competitive moat amid the intense competition in the coffee chain industry. "We see the recent pullback as an attractive entry into the best-in-class growth story in all of the U.S. restaurant space, driven by solid SSSG (roughly 2/3 from transaction growth) and strong unit economics supporting mid-teens store growth," wrote analyst Christine Cho. Dutch Bros ( BROS ) stands out to the Goldman analyst team as a leader in customized energy drinks and is expected to defend its market share from incumbents and generate continued excitement from younger consumers. Despite the strong results, Goldman Sachs sees even more upside. "We think food and mobile order could unlock frequency opportunity, and we believe increasing penetration of mobile order pay/Dutch Rewards activation as well as introduction of expanded food offerings could drive more frequent, habitual use occasions—especially in the morning daypart," highlighted Cho. Goldman Sachs assigned a price target of $75 to Dutch Bros ( BROS ). Dutch Bros ( BROS ) was down 0.8% in premarket trading amid broad declines across the market. BROS is down more than 12% on a year-to-date basis, and short interest stands at 10.2% of the total float.

Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images News J.P. Morgan has assigned streaming giant Netflix ( NFLX ) an investment rating of “overweight” following a period of restriction. Analysts at the research firm believe the company remains a healthy organic growth story, driven by a combination of strong content, global subscriber growth, continued pricing power, and an early-stage/under-monetized ad tier. They think the company's ad-supported tier should further expand its subscriber base while driving high-margin incremental revenue. "NFLX’s ad revenue grew more than 150% in 2025 & is expected to double to ~$3B in 2026, and we believe the business has continued momentum led by improvements in targeting & measurement," the research firm said in its March 2 note. They also expect continued strong FCF generation and anticipate elevated share buybacks in 2026, driven by the $2.8B termination fee from Warner Bros. ( WBD ) and a currently opportunistic share price. For Netflix, AI should drive improved content discovery and personalization and better advertising solutions and measurement, which would ultimately reduce content production costs, JPM said. "We believe storytelling and talent will remain critical moats, ultimately better insulating NFLX from AI disruption risk compared to transactional business models," JPM said Monday. NFLX has a price target of $120, implying an upside of nearly 42%.

The post Best Crypto Prop Trading Firms by Sarah Edwards appeared first on Benzinga . Visit Benzinga to get more great content like this. Cryptocurrency markets operate around the clock with high volatility and significant capital requirements. For traders seeking to access institutional-level capital without risking personal funds, crypto proprietary trading firms offer an alternative model. These firms provide funding, infrastructure, and risk parameters in exchange for a share of trading profits. Unlike traditional brokerage accounts, prop firms evaluate traders through structured challenges before allocating capital, creating a merit-based system for accessing larger position sizes. The crypto prop trading sector has expanded considerably since 2020, with firms now offering dedicated cryptocurrency pairs, faster payout cycles, and evaluation structures designed specifically for digital asset volatility. Account sizes typically range from $5,000 to $400,000, with profit splits between 50% and 95% depending on the firm and account type.

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Marsh Inc. ( MRSH ) is an American professional services firm which operates globally. Founded in 1871, Marsh, which used to be known as Marsh & McLennan before its early 2026 rebranding, is now an $87 billion (by market cap) major solutions provider which employs almost 100,000 people. Marsh has clients in 130 countries. The company operates across two segments: Risk & Insurance Services, 64% of FY 2025 operating revenue; and Consulting, 36%. Its main segment, Risk & Insurance Services, is anchored by the company’s position as the world’s largest insurance broker. This is Marsh’s crown jewel, featuring “tollbooth” characteristics. An insurance broker is an intermediary between clients (such as individuals or even businesses) and insurance companies, and this intermediary status takes on none of the direct financial risk associated with insurance. The brokerage maintains “sticky” customers and feeds off of recurring insurance transactions (taking a percentage of insurance premiums via a commission charge). This fee-based business has highly visible and recurring revenue, and it sports extremely high returns on capital and margins. To say that it’s excellent is understating it. On the other hand, the other business under the Marsh umbrella is no slouch. The consultancy side of the house is a capital-light, asset-light business model with loyal clientele of its own, and it has the ability to scale and generate higher revenue with little incremental increases in costs. Similarly to insurance, its consultancy work has a lot to do with risk management for its clients (and insurance, as we already know, is all about risk management). This “one-two punch” across different elements of risk management has led to a success story more than 150 years in the making. Yet, recent results suggest its best days may be yet ahead, signaling even more revenue, profit, and dividend growth to come. Dividend Growth, Growth Rate, Payout Ratio and...

A buying opportunity will emerge after Monday's sell-off. Just not yet. U.S. equities were under pressure after a joint attack from the U.S. and Israel against Iran over the weekend. Stock futures were sharply lower, while gold prices soared as traders searched for a safe haven. Oil and natural gas prices surged after the conflict disrupted shipments out of the Persian Gulf, as well as and crude and LNG production. But while many on Wall Street may be looking at these declines in stocks as a buying opportunity, they may also want to wait. Wells Fargo found that since World War II the S & P 500 sees a median gain of 0.4% two weeks after a geopolitical event. But nearer term, in the one-, three- and seven days following an event, the benchmark has historically seen a loss on a median basis. In the following one-, three- and 12 months, the index followed geopolitical events with median advances of 1.2%, 2.7% and 11.2%. "The situation is fluid, but the playbook from the past two Gulf Wars was to sell the news, i.e., buying stocks," Wells Fargo strategist Ohsung Kwon wrote to clients. "In both instances, SPX was volatile during the military buildup, then rallied 16% during the Gulf War 1 and 14% in the first three months of Gulf War 2." "History also suggests geopolitical dips should be bought, usually recovering in two weeks," he said. He added that his "worst case" scenario takes the S & P 500 to 6,000. That implies almost a 13% decline from Friday's close. JPMorgan's trading desk echoed Wells Fargo, noting: "We are Tactically Cautious as we prepare for what may be a multi-week period of elevated uncertainty." "We would look for a 1-2 week decline in risk assets, creating a buy-the-dip opportunity as the market looks through the initial pullback," said JPMorgan traders.

tang90246 As part of its product blitz this week, Apple ( AAPL ) on Monday unveiled two new products, an updated low-end iPhone, known as the iPhone 17e, and a refreshed iPad Air. Apple shares fell 1% in premarket trading. The iPhone 17e has an updated camera system, includes support for Apple's MagSafe charging technology (and Qi2 for fast charging), and has a base level of 256GB, twice the storage of the iPhone 16e. It sports a 48MP Fusion camera that contains an optical-quality 2x Telephoto, which allows users access to two cameras in one so they can get closer to the subject and easily frame their shot, Apple said. The new smartphone also includes Apple's 3-nanometer A19 processor, which contains a 6-core CPU, a 4-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It also includes the latest version of Apple's in-house modem, the C1X. Apple said the C1X is twice as fast as the C1 in the iPhone 16e and is as fast as the iPhone Air. It also comes equipped with all-day battery life and can be charged up to 50% in 30 minutes, Apple explained. It also supports Apple Intelligence and iOS 26. “iPhone 17e combines powerful performance and features our users love at an exceptional value, making it a compelling option for customers looking to upgrade to the iPhone 17 family,” said Kaiann Drance, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing, in a statement . “We know our customers want a product that will last, and iPhone 17e delivers just that. With A19 for incredible performance, double the entry storage, a smarter camera system, and enhanced durability, iPhone 17e is designed to stay fast, secure, and valuable for years to come.” The iPhone 17e is available in black, white, and soft pink in 256GB and 512GB storage capacities and starts at $599. Pre-orders for the new iPhone 17e start on March 4, and it will be available on March 11. iPad Air Separately, on Monday, Apple refreshed its iPad Air tablet, which is now powered by its M4 processor.
