Andrzej Rostek Smallcap stocks have seen a solid start to 2026, with the State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 600 Small Cap ETF up ~9% year-to-date. Comparatively, the S&P 500 index is in negative territory, having logged about a -0.15% return year-to-date. With interest rate cuts looming , inflation decreasing , and the economy holding relatively steady , investors are readying for a breakout in smallcap stocks, a recent report by S&P Global Market Intelligence said. The smallcap rally is expected to intensify in 2026, the report said, citing Tyler Richey, a co-editor with Sevens Report Research. Considering the current scenario, Seeking Alpha has compiled a list of the most and least shorted REIT stocks (with a market cap up to $2B) as of mid-February. Short interest is the percentage of shares outstanding that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. Extremely high short interest shows investors are very pessimistic.

Paying off debt is supposed to feel freeing. And it does, eventually. But for many people grinding through thousands of dollars in payments, the journey feels surprisingly isolating. One Redditor who recently paid off $20,000 described the experience. “You quietly say no to plans, cut back, and grind through it while everyone else lives their life,” they said. “There is no applause for discipline,...
Paying off debt is supposed to feel freeing. And it does, eventually. But for many people grinding through thousands of dollars in payments, the journey feels surprisingly isolating. One Redditor who recently paid off $20,000 described the experience. “You quietly say no to plans, cut back, and grind through it while everyone else lives their life,” they said. “There is no applause for discipline, no encouragement when motivation drops just you and your bank app.” The Quiet Work No One Sees Many

Klaus Vedfelt/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investment Thesis Last week, upcoming neocloud provider IREN Ltd. (NASDAQ: IREN ) reiterated its year-end target in its Q2 FY26 ER to achieve $3.4B in ARR as it continues to build out GPU capacity that enables it to achieve those ARR targets. In the current investing climate prevalent for growth stocks, a mere reiteration of a prior target will result in shares getting chastised. This is what happened to IREN’s shares post-Q2 ER, leading to the neocloud company’s shares dropping 22% last week. However, if investors cut through the post-ER pessimism, they will find enough bullish catalysts that are firmly positioning IREN to accelerate its AI services revenues further. Per my analysis, IREN is making significant advancements in three key areas—power, GPU deployments, and financing—to accelerate the neocloud business momentum it has become a beneficiary of. The current drawdown makes IREN meaningfully attractive again, and I reiterate my bullishness on the neocloud’s prospects for this year. Buy Any Pullback - IREN’s Buildout Will Accelerate Growth In September last year , I wrote, “IREN timed its AI pivot to perfection,” a thesis that is playing out in its full entirety as the price of Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) collapses, impacting the economics of mining Bitcoin. For IREN, the timing of that AI pivot was extremely evident in their Q2 FY26 results, which showed just how the two business lines were diverging, not just in growth but also in predictability of forward revenue growth. In Q2, IREN reported total revenues worth $184.7M, up 60%. That 60% pace was only possible because AI cloud services revenues surged 137% sequentially, or a mammoth 541% y/y, to $17.3M, offsetting the Bitcoin mining revenue that moved in the other direction, up 48% y/y but down 28.2% sequentially to $167.4M. Exhibit A: IREN was able to post revenue growth of 60% in Q2 only because its AI services revenue surged 500%. (Company filings) The thorn in IREN’...

Meillard takes title after Norwegian loses grip on gold 39-year-old Briton finishes 17th in final Olympic race As the Rocket zigged and zagged for a fifth and final time at a Winter Olympics on Monday, another skier made a very different kind of exit. Coming into the final run of the men’s slalom, the Norwegian Atle Lie McGrath knew that victory was there for the taking – until he straddled a gate. Gold was gone. A heartbroken McGrath – who had hoped to deliver victory in honour of his grandfather who died on the day of the opening ceremony – threw his poles as far as he could and trudged across the slope into the woods.
