Watch: Unhinged Woman Tries To Burn Down Rumored ICE Building The dramatic rise in left-wing chaos has been remarkable over the past year. From radical left militant groups firebombing Tesla showrooms, to the protest-industrial complex funded by activist nonprofits unleashing chaos on city streets, to the rise of militant transtifa - even the deep-state publication The Atlantic had to acknowledge the "rise of left-wing terrorism." This week, a video showing what appears to be an unhinged white liberal attempting to burn what she believed was an ICE warehouse went viral on X on Thursday. " A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored to be a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government ," Kansas City KMBC News wrote on X late Thursday.

imaginima/iStock via Getty Images Overview When I previously covered American Electric Power Company, Inc. ( AEP ), I issued a Buy rating due to the strong earnings and several growth initiatives that management highlighted. I believed that these growth initiatives could lead to higher earnings for the business. Since my last coverage, the share price has risen steadily and has outpaced the S&P 500 ( SP500 ). I wanted to revisit the business after its most recent Q4 earnings because I believe the growth catalysts have become more significant over the last quarter. AEP can now provide exposure to the growth of the AI markets, by servicing the growing demand for AI data centers. Looking at the performance over the last twelve months, we can see that AEP has provided a total return of nearly 24%. This total return includes all dividends that were paid out to shareholders. AEP now offers investors a starting dividend yield of about 3.1%, while offering a strong potential for continued dividend growth in the future. AEP now trades at all-time highs, but I don't think this is a reason for investors to stop accumulating. I believe in letting your winners run, and I believe that AEP is a clear winner for investors looking for a straightforward buy-and-hold dividend growth position. Data by YCharts While I am bullish on the outlook of AEP, there are some risks to consider. For instance, the shift in growth initiatives that have some exposure to AI can expose AEP's stock price to higher than usual levels of volatility. The AI sector is driven by sentiment and so far the sector's performance for 2026 has been a bit disappointing. So AEP having some direct exposure to the growth of AI can introduce a new level of price sensitivity that isn't typical for the stock. So let's start by reviewing the highlights of the most recent earnings report . Q4 Earnings Confirms More Growth Ahead AEP is one of the largest electric utilities companies in the U.S., and its business spans across ...

PM Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images The Blue Owl Capital stock ( OWL ) has been in steep decline since my last coverage in November. In addition to mishaps pertaining to the merger of its business development company (“BDC”) operations – namely, the publicly traded Blue Owl Capital Corporation ( OBDC ) and non-traded Blue Owl Corporation II (“OBDC II”) – the firm’s sentiment is further deteriorated in recent months, blighted by its acute exposure to AI-related financing. This is further corroborated by $527 million of withdrawals – or 15.4% of net assets – from its non-traded tech-focused “ Blue Owl Technology Income Cor p. ” (“OTIC”) fund last month after the firm raised the redemption limit to 17% from 5% previously. As acknowledged by management during Blue Owl Capital’s latest earnings update , the elevated redemptions signaled embedded “volatility and fear” amongst investors: From a fundraising perspective, industry-wide non-traded BDCs experienced a slowdown in capital raising and elevated redemptions during the fourth quarter. This is in line with what we have seen in prior market environments with heightened volatility and fear. Source: Blue Owl Capital Q4 2025 Earnings Call Transcript This accordingly draws the question to whether this “volatility and fear” is fuelled by credible concerns – a situation further exacerbated by recent scrutiny over Meta Platforms’ ( META ) accounting for its joint venture (“Hyperion JV”) with funds managed by Blue Owl Capital. And the implications of which are unlikely contained to the Meta transaction alone, considering the rise of AI-related off-balance sheet SPV financing to which private credit companies, such as Blue Owl Capital, have become increasingly exposed to. The latest development raises the risk of additional regulatory scrutiny over other emerging risk factors facing the broader AI ecosystem – including the validity of accounting assumptions used in AI infrastructure asset valuation and AI-related financing...

Yuriy T/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The calendar has already played out Soon we’ll get TKO Group Holdings, Inc. ( TKO ) results, and we’ll be able to know with certainty whether the recent attendance successes at this quarter’s events have had the same effect on cash. To refresh the latest results, as of the end of Q3 TKO had accumulated $3.69B in revenue, with adj. EBITDA of $1.30B, with UFC and WWE as the company’s main engines. In fact, if we break down the mix in the report, WWE leads with $731.5M (+23.1% YoY), followed by UFC with $637.8M (+22.5% YoY), and lastly we have IMG contributing $163.9M (-10.1% YoY) to the mix. We also have the guidance outlook for how FY25 will end, so in this sense I don’t expect much deviation from what has been laid out, with revenues expected to land around $4.69B to $4.72B, and adj. EBITDA around $1.57B, something perfectly achievable given the performance they’ve been delivering. In addition, we can already be more specific with the now-finalized calendar of events for this Q4, which in my opinion have delivered good results. UFC 322 at MSG had an attendance of 20,664 and a gate of $13.6M, along with UFC 323 at the T-Mobile Arena with 18,603 in attendance and a $4.74M gate. That’s fine, but is it a lot or a little? For UFC, in my opinion, it's a strong attendance, since an average UFC event can be around 17,000 in certain cases, so coming in around 18k and 20k means being in the upper part of the usual range. On the other hand, WWE is showing even better signals, as the 2025 Survivor Series announced 46,016 attendees, setting a record for the event and far surpassing the 2024 event , which reported 17,828 attendees. So for me, live events won’t be the problem, if there is one. Data by YCharts I say this because with these data alone we can’t guarantee that the quarter itself will be positive, since we still need to see what happened with what I consider the main driver, which is how much of this actually makes it into TKO’...

Worawith Ounpeng/iStock via Getty Images Recession risk remains low, but the torrid pace of GDP growth in recent quarters is expected to downshift in next week’s delayed fourth quarter report from the government, based on the median for a set of nowcasts compiled by The Capital Spectator. Today's update indicates a 2.7% annualized increase in GDP, unchanged from the previous estimate. If accurate, output will ease following Q3’s 4.4% pace, a two-year high. The upside outlier in the data sets in the chart above remains the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model. Note that the regional Fed bank’s nowcast has been revised lower in recent weeks and is currently estimating a 3.7% advance (as of Feb 10). That’s still a solid gain, but here too the view has cooled lately, and the economy is expected to expand at the slowest rate in the past three quarters. Whatever next week’s numbers reveal, it’s likely that the Q4 data will confirm that the US ended 2025 with an economic tailwind. Analysis in our sister publication this week – The US Business Cycle Risk Report – highlights a persistently moderate growth pace through January, based on a broad set of business cycle indicators. Wednesday’s better-than-expected payrolls report for last month strengthens the view that the economy remains resilient, at least in relative terms. As a result, the recession warnings from some economists late last year still look wide of the mark. A low pace of layoffs via jobless claims data supports the view that the labor market is stabilizing after downshifting in last year’s second half. There are several caveats to consider with the latest payrolls numbers, including downward revisions that show that hiring last year was substantially less than previously estimated. Another issue: last month’s increase in payrolls was highly dependent on healthcare, which suggests that the cyclical parts of the economy could falter as the year rolls on. “The surprisingly strong job gains in January were driven mainly by ...

Multistrategy hedge fund giant Schonfeld Strategic Advisors LLC has hired BNP Paribas SA ’s co-head of commodities trading, Arthur Goossens , according to people familiar with the matter. He had only last year been promoted to the bank’s co-head of commodities trading from his previous role as head of precious metals trading, according to his Linkedin profile. John Rosai serves as the other joint head of commodity trading at BNP Paribas. Goossens will primarily trade volatility across asset classes, including metals, as Schonfeld looks to expand its volatility trading business along with discretionary macro and fixed income. His departure from BNP Paribas underscores the challenge for banks in retaining commodities traders, as hedge funds and trading houses — with their ability to offer larger bonuses than many banks — vie for talent. Another top metals trader, Benjamin Binet-Laisne of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. , has been tapped up by Mercuria Energy Group , Bloomberg reported last month. Senior precious metals traders at HSBC Holdings Plc recently moved to join crypto giant Tether Holdings SA.

hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images By Anthony Goh, Senior Investment Research Analyst @ Khaveen Investments In our previous analysis of Adobe ( ADBE ), we analyzed Adobe’s advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) across its core business segments, mainly Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and Digital Experience, and assessed how these initiatives influence the company’s competitive positioning and long-term growth prospects. We evaluated Adobe’s new AI-driven features and partnerships, considering whether these developments enhance its product offerings and strengthen its position relative to peers amid increasing competition in the CRM space and the broader AI landscape. Since our previous coverage, Adobe’s stock has suffered a deep and continued selloff of 47%. This decline is despite Adobe delivering solid operating performance over the past two years, reporting record-high revenues with annual growth slightly above 10%, while net margins continued to improve from 27.97% in 2023 to 30% in 2025. Company Data, Khaveen Investments Based on our analysis, by compiling the views of leading Wall Street firms, the most common negative concerns about Adobe include slowing revenue growth, the long-term sustainability of its business model, intensifying competitive pressures driven by the rise of AI, Adobe’s slower-than-expected AI monetization, and potential profitability headwinds resulting from elevated AI-related investments. In this article, we examine each of these factors to assess whether they represent material risks to Adobe’s business and whether the magnitude of the stock selloff is justified based on these concerns. Falling Market Share But Still Has The Broadest Portfolio Catering To Enterprise Customers One common factor highlighted by recent analyst reports is growing concern over Adobe’s competitive position in the age of generative AI. Several Wall Street firms, including Oppenheimer ( OPY ) and BMO Capital Markets , have downgraded Adobe or lower...
