Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU), a memory and storage chip maker, closed Wednesday at $410.34, up 9.94%. The stock jumped after bullish analyst commentary on high‑bandwidth memory demand, an upgraded Street‑high price target, and strong recent results. Investors are watching Micron’s fiscal 2026 HBM ramp and AI‑driven earnings power. The company’s trading volume reached 47.4 million shares, which is 47% above compared with its three-month average of 32.2 million shares. Micron Technology went public in 1984 and has grown 29002% since its IPO. How the markets moved today The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) slipped 0.03% to 6,941, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) fell 0.16% to 23,066. Among semiconductors, Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC) closed at $273.74 (+4.26%) and Seagate Technology Plc (NASDAQ:STX) finished at $407.25 (+2.78%), as investors continue to favor storage names tied to AI infrastructure demand. What this means for investors Micron Technology shares climbed on Wednesday after bullish commentary on high-bandwidth memory demand reinforced the company’s role in AI infrastructure. Recent coverage noted that Micron has already sold out its fiscal 2026 HBM supply and expects the HBM market to expand from roughly $35 billion in 2025 to as much as $100 billion by 2028. That outlook strengthened the case for multi-year revenue visibility tied to AI server deployments. The move was boosted by an analyst upgrade that set a Street-high $600 price target, following strong fiscal first-quarter results marked by rising revenue and expanding margins. Despite substantial gains over the past year, some analysts believe Micron’s valuation does not yet reflect its AI-driven growth potential. The company is making significant long-term investments, including a $100 billion commitment to a New York megafab and additional projects in Singapore and Taiwan. Investors will continue to monitor whether Micron can convert sold-out HBM supply into sustained margin expansion as A...

It might seem like a good idea, but it could backfire. There's a reason Roth retirement plans have long been a popular choice among savers. Although you don't get a tax break on the money you contribute to a Roth IRA or 401(k), you get numerous benefits to make up for that. Roth retirement accounts offer tax-free investment gains and withdrawals. When you're living on a fixed income and are no longer working, not having to worry about losing a portion of your withdrawals to the IRS is huge. Plus, Roth IRAs and 401(k)s do not force savers to take required minimum distributions (RMDs). That gives you more flexibility with your money -- for yourself and in the context of estate planning. But the flexibility Roth retirement accounts offer is actually a mixed bag. In fact, Roth IRAs and 401(k)s are almost a little too flexible in one regard. For that reason, a Roth may not be the best option for you. There's too much temptation to touch the money When you save for retirement in a traditional IRA or 401(k), there's a big incentive not to take withdrawals ahead of your senior years. Removing funds before turning 59 1/2 generally subjects you to a 10% penalty. But Roth IRAs and 401(k)s work differently. With a Roth savings plan, you can withdraw money early without a penalty as long as you're tapping the principal portion of your account and leaving the gains portion alone. The logic is that since you didn't get a tax break on that money when it went into your Roth account, there's no issue with you taking it out. But that flexibility could become problematic if it tempts you to keep tapping your savings ahead of retirement. So if you don't trust yourself to leave your long-term savings alone, you may want to stick to a traditional retirement account, despite the many benefits Roth accounts offer. Let's say you manage to contribute $5,000 to a Roth IRA this year. But next year, you're hit with an unplanned $2,500 expense. If it's easy enough to take that money out of your r...

PhonlamaiPhoto Shares of QuantumScape ( QS ) were pinned down in Wednesday’s late trading, pressured by the company’s most recent quarterly results, which showed a modest beat on profit expectations but again showed no revenue generated from its core business. Moreover, the company expects to increase investment in scaling production of its solid-state battery using the Eagle Line but did not outline any revenue guidance for FY26 or new OEM partnerships, instead setting a vague set of “ambitious goals to bring our revolutionary technology to market.” QuantumScape ( QS ) also plans to increase capex in 2026 to between $40M and $60M versus $36.3M in 2025. By trimming its operating expenses by 14%, the company narrowed its loss per share to $0.17 from a loss of $0.22 per share, a penny better than expected. The company’s inaugural customer billings—a measure of future cash inflows and not a substitute for revenue—totaled $19.5M in 2025.

RuthSoh/iStock via Getty Images You can call me a long-time Nike ( NKE ) bear now, as this is my third sell rating on the company. Figuratively, at this point, it is the equivalent of me getting on my rooftop and yelling to anyone who can hear, but I have no pulse on who is listening. Data by YCharts I have seen Nike considered a darling stock. It has been one for as long as I can remember, and for a long time, the story was its brand. Revenues and profitability were remarkable, and the promise of world domination/expansion had investors piling in. Investors were ready to pay up for its brand, and fortunately for Nike, the brand indeed did a lot of the talking, and the business was not treated like it was discretionary. When I first dug in , even though I loved the brand, I wanted to truly understand what was going on with the business. The writing was on the wall. The lustre was no longer there. The market was beginning to see it, but the retail investors thought it was a bargain even when the valuation did not reflect it (it was a case of "it has never been valued this low"). Separating my feelings from my investment paid off handsomely. SA The second time around , I took no action, as the risk versus reward simply did not exist, but I wanted to dive in further to educate readers on why the bullish narratives did not make any sense. At length, I explained that its brand won't protect it from the competition. I also predicted correctly that any short-term upward price move will be temporary in nature, and investors are better off looking elsewhere. What am I seeing this time around? While some of the same patterns of resting on the brand's laurels exist, I see yet another misleading narrative emerge. That its sales are growing in North America, and therefore it's a buy. Peeling the onion, we will see why it's a mirage and not an oasis.

Salameh dibaei/iStock via Getty Images Waste Connections ( WCN ) reported quarterly results that met revenue expectations and exceeded profit estimates, with shares little changed in extended trading Wednesday. Fourth-quarter revenue was $2.373 billion, in line with the Wall Street consensus estimate of $2.37 billion and up from $2.260 billion a year earlier. Adjusted earnings were $1.29 a share, above estimates of $1.27. Net income swung to $258.5 million, or $1.01 a share, from a net loss of $196.0 million, or $0.76 a share, in the year-earlier period. Operating income totaled $420.8 million, compared with an operating loss of $199.2 million a year ago, when results were affected by significant landfill-related impairments. Margin expansion drives quarter Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization increased 8.7% year over year to $795.6 million. Adjusted ebitda margin expanded 110 basis points to 33.5% of revenue. President and Chief Executive Officer Ronald J. Mittelstaedt said, “Adjusted ebitda margin expansion of 110 basis points in the fourth quarter capped off a remarkable year for Waste Connections, driven by price-led organic growth in solid waste and strong execution from ongoing improvements in operating trends.” For the full year, Waste Connections ( WCN ) reported revenue of $9.467 billion. Net income totaled $1.077 billion, or $4.17 a diluted share. Adjusted ebitda reached $3.125 billion, or 33.0% of revenue.

Key Points Mattel's all-important holiday shopping season went poorly. Management forecasts further declines in 2026. 10 stocks we like better than Mattel › Shares of Mattel (NASDAQ: MAT) plunged on Wednesday after the toy manufacturer's fourth-quarter earnings fell short of investors' expectations. By the close of trading, Mattel's stock price was down 25%. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Declining margins Mattel's net sales rose 7% year over year to $1.8 billion. The gains were driven by growth in the company's Hot Wheels and action figure categories. However, higher tariff-related costs dented Mattel's profitability. The toy seller found it challenging to pass on those costs to cash-strapped consumers via price hikes. Worse still, the uncertainty surrounding the implementation and timing of tariffs disrupted Mattel's ordering processes. That made proper inventory management more difficult, which ultimately forced Mattel to offer discounts to clear excess inventory. These factors drove a 4.8 percentage point decline in Mattel's gross margin to 45.9%. All told, Mattel's net income decreased by $35 million to $106 million. Moreover, the company's adjusted earnings per share of $0.39 came in well below Wall Street's estimates. Analysts had expected per-share profits of $0.55. A concerning forecast Looking ahead, Mattel expects sales growth of 3% to 6% in 2026. Yet management warned that the company's adjusted earnings per share could fall as much as 16%. "We are making strategic investments that will impact the bottom line this year but are intended to accelerate growth in top and bottom lines in 2027 and beyond," CEO Ynon Kreiz said.

(RTTNews) - Kraft Heinz (KHC) has put its planned corporate split on hold as its new chief executive moves to refocus the company on operational recovery and growth. CEO Steve Cahillane, who took over in January, said the company's problems are largely within management's control and can be addressed through disciplined execution. He indicated that returning the business to profitable growth is the immediate priority, adding that suspending separation efforts will prevent additional costs tied to the proposed breakup this year. Alongside the pause, Kraft Heinz plans to invest $600 million into reviving its U.S. operations. The funds will be directed toward marketing, sales, research and development, product quality improvements and selective pricing actions aimed at strengthening competitiveness. The breakup plan, first unveiled in September, would have undone much of the $46 billion merger that created the current company. While initially welcomed by investors, the merger's appeal faded over time as U.S. sales weakened and the company took write-downs on major brands such as Oscar Mayer and Maxwell House. Kraft Heinz has spent years attempting to stabilize its domestic business. Berkshire Hathaway, which holds a significant stake in Kraft Heinz, backed the decision to pause the separation. CEO Greg Abel said management can now concentrate on improving the company's competitive position and customer service under its new leadership. Analysts offered mixed reactions. Some viewed the strategic shift as a necessary reset under Cahillane, who previously led Kellogg through its own restructuring. Others warned the move signals the businesses may not yet be strong enough to stand independently, suggesting uncertainty remains around the long-term growth outlook. The announcement coincided with quarterly results that exceeded earnings expectations but missed revenue forecasts. Shares initially fell before recovering to trade roughly flat, reflecting divided investor sentime...

Canadian police on Wednesday identified the person who carried out a deadly school shooting as an 18-year-old woman with mental health issues but did not give a motive for one of the worst mass killings in Canada’s history. The killer, who police named as Jesse Van Rootselaar, died by suicide after the shooting on Tuesday in Tumbler Ridge, a remote community of 2,400 people in the Pacific province of British Columbia. Police revised the death toll down to nine, including Van Rootselaar, from the initially reported 10. On more than one occasion, Van Rootselaar had been apprehended under the provincial Mental Health Act for an assessment, said Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald, commander of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in British Columbia. She once attended the school but dropped out four years ago. Advertisement “Police had attended that [family] residence on multiple occasions over the past several years, dealing with concerns of mental health with respect to our suspect,” McDonald said. Unlike the United States, school shootings are almost unheard of in Canada, and federal politicians initially struggled to maintain their composure.

These monks' walk for peace captivated Americans. It ends this week toggle caption Rahmat Gul/AP WASHINGTON — Thousands gathered at Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday to see Buddhist monks who have completed a 108-day, 2,300-mile journey on foot from Texas to the nation's capital. Surrounded by leaders from several faith traditions, including Washington Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde, the monks talked about how the practice of compassion can transcend religious differences. "In front of you all, you can see all religions' leaders here together for the same mission: peace," said Venerable Bhikkhu Paññākāra, the monks' leader. "This is the first time to me, that we are working together. We are walking together on this path to find peace for ourself, to share that to our nation and the world." Sponsor Message At the event, called "A Sacred Stop on the Walk for Peace," the 19 monks from the Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana Center in Fort Worth were welcomed by a cheering crowd of people young and old, some of whom had waited for hours to secure a spot close to the monks. Many held flowers or signs, while others sported homemade "Walk for Peace" garments. Why the monks walked The monks are part of a Vietnamese Theravada Buddhist tradition and practice Vipassana meditation. The walk, which began on Oct. 26, 2025, was "not to bring you any peace," said Paññākāra, "but to raise the awareness of peace so that you can unlock that box and free it." While calling mindfulness the "key to peace," the monk said that it is not about Buddhism per se. "All you need to do is just practice mindfulness to unlock that box where you have kept peace and happiness inside and locked it up and then left it somewhere," he said. "Now it's your job. It's your duty, to find it and unlock it. You're the only one who can do this, not the venerable monks, not the reverends, nor anybody else, but you." Paññākāra offered humor and practical tips to incorporate mindfulness in a world where distraction...
