mesh cube/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis First and foremost, let me say that I think FormFactor, Inc. ( NASDAQ : FORM ) is one of the picks and shovel names that looks boring right until it doesn't. The market is fixated on the shiny end of AI, like GPUs and giant data center builds. Meanwhile, the real constraint in advanced packaging is often yield, test time, and how many goods you can push through the line without shipping defects. And obviously, that pushes value into probe cards and test hardware. Here's the part that matters most to me. Management is explicitly describing a world where HBM stack complexity keeps rising (such as HBM3E, HBM4 Ramp, and work towards HBM5). This translates into higher test intensity and harder specs. And that is not marketing fluff. It is the economics of advanced packaging where one bad chiplet can kill the whole stack. Now, a good story does not automatically mean a good stock. But what interests me with FORM is that the company is also showing tangible operational improvement. The Q4 2025 earnings update points to an expanding non-GAAP gross margin and continued strength into Q1 2026. In my opinion, that combination, demand together with strategic execution, is what I would say keeps a " good company " from becoming a " good but overpriced " situation. I am rating FormFactor a Buy . And this is not because the stock is cheap today. Actually, it is not. But I am buying the idea that earnings power is rising faster than many investors are modeling. And that the next few quarters can keep surprising on margin while the revenue line stays firm. Business Overview FormFactor sits in semiconductor test and measurement across the IC lifecycle, from early characterization and debug to qualification and high-volume production test. The business is reported in two segments . First are the Probe cards, which include probe cards and analytical probes. Second are systems, which are basically probe stations plus thermal and cryogen...

Stocks struggled for direction Friday as fears of AI disruptions weigh against the potential for more interest rate cuts after a cooler-than-expected inflation reading. The S&P 500 was 0.1% lower after initially flipping between gains and losses following a three-session losing streak. Expedia Group Inc. was among the worst performers in the benchmark, falling on continued fears about the threat of AI even after providing better-than-expected guidance. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index was 0.2% lower and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.3%. “Today’s inflation report is a relief for investors rattled by AI disruptions in the stock market,” said David Russell, global head of market strategy at TradeStation. Indexes have fallen for three straight sessions before Friday’s inflation reading, which spurred a move higher in US futures. US consumer prices rose slower than expected in January while the core CPI reading matched estimates, reflecting higher services costs. The inflation report “was actually pretty encouraging,” Tiffany Wilding , an economist with Pimco, said in an interview with Bloomberg TV. She added that the Federal Reserve’s interest rates look restricting and after the inflation reading, “getting a couple of more interest rate cuts in this year seems pretty reasonable to us.” Indeed, the report spurred traders to increase bets on a third rate cut this year. “With employment hopefully improving, the Fed doesn’t have to worry about doing any more ‘insurance cuts.’ It can because it wants to, not because it has to,” said Brian Jacobsen , chief economic strategist at Annex Wealth Management. Still, fears that AI will disrupt revenues continue to hit stocks. Drug distributors slumped on Friday, joining a long list of industries including software, wealth managers and logistics firms to sell off. Separately, shares in US metal firms sank as the Trump administration is considering narrowing tariffs on aluminum products. Alcoa , Century Aluminum and Kaiser A...

wellesenterprises/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Until recently, I have typically avoided sports stocks. They tend to be vanity assets—great for cocktail party conversation but terrible for compounding capital. They usually bleed cash, have volatile earnings based on whether a ball hits a foul pole or a home run, and trade at premiums because fans want to own the team. But Atlanta Braves Holdings ( BATRK ) is doing the exact opposite. It is trading like a boring utility in decline despite owning one of the most valuable intellectual properties in North American sports. The structure is admittedly annoying. It’s a tracking stock spun out of Liberty Media , which keeps a lot of generalist investors away. It’s messy. But that messiness has created a dislocation where the public market value implies the franchise is worth significantly less than recent private market transactions for inferior teams. In my view, you would be buying a top-tier MLB franchise at a discount, and you’re getting a high-growth real estate development company thrown in for free. Two Engine Business Model Most people think of this just as a baseball team. If you look at the Q3-25 filings , though, it’s clear this is evolving into a dual-engine business. First, there is the franchisee. The Braves operate in a massive geographic monopoly. Unlike the Northeast, where you can’t drive two hours without hitting another MLB stadium, the Braves own the Southeast. This drives the attendance numbers, as seen in the Investor Day presentation —consistently top-tier. In Q3-25, baseball revenue ticked up 4% to $284m. That doesn't sound explosive, but in a mature business, 4% pricing power is solid. The point here is cost control and the floor provided by the fan base. Even when the team isn't winning the World Series every year, the turnstiles keep turning. Ticket volume stability (Company Investor Day Presentation Jun-25) The other engine is the Battery (mixed-use development), and this is the part the mar...

Briton finishes ninth after quarter-final defeat ‘Sorry, I was hoping to put on a better show’ Few sports at the Winter Olympics are more thrilling or turbulent than snowboard cross. The idea is simple. Four competitors, a steep mountain, ramps, and whoever gets down quickest to the bottom first wins. But jeopardy lurks on every sharp turn and steep bank. And calamities are an unfortunate fact of life. Team GB’s Charlotte Bankes knows this better than anyone.

Getty Images This is not a good time to be an investor with exposure to cryptocurrencies. As I discussed in a recent macro analysis, empirical evidence suggests the crypto winter may last much longer . Although I do not have direct exposure to BTC, I am a Coinbase Global, Inc. ( COIN ) shareholder, so I have indirect exposure to BTC and the broad crypto market. Amid the crypto winter, COIN has been one of the biggest losers in my portfolio over the past year (down almost 50%). Although a prolonged crypto winter will most certainly impact Coinbase’s transaction revenue, which is the biggest contributor to revenue today, I believe Coinbase has what it takes to turn into a more efficient business in 2026. This will lay the foundation for a strong comeback in the post-crypto winter era. After digesting Q4 earnings and the structural changes Coinbase is going through today, I believe now is a good time to double down on COIN stock. Q4 2025 Earnings Review I will begin this analysis with a brief discussion of Coinbase's Q4 2025 earnings . If I had to summarize the earnings print in one word, ugly is the word I’d have chosen. Revenue was down 22% YoY to $1.78 billion. This was a sequential decline of 5%, which highlights how the ongoing crypto winter is continuing to threaten Coinbase’s short-term growth. Transaction revenue was down 6% sequentially, driven by a 13% QoQ decline in consumer transaction revenue to $734 million. As expected, institutional volumes remained strong, leading to a 37% QoQ increase in institutional transaction revenue to $185 million. Given that this institutional business is still relatively small compared to the retail business, this strong sequential growth could not prevent Coinbase’s revenue from dipping below the previous quarter's level. The integration of Deribit had a lot to do with this stellar growth in institutional revenue. The GAAP net loss for the quarter was $667 million. The company’s crypto investment portfolio recorded a $718 mil...

Getty Images Even with how much they’ve grown their backlog, expanded margins, and kept cash coming in, I can’t get excited about Elbit Systems ( ESLT ) at these prices. The market’s already baking in years of higher defense budgets, constant geopolitical tension, and near-perfect execution. There isn’t much room for slip-ups. In my view, the risk and reward are about even here. The recent run is already priced into the stock, and to get more upside, Elbit would have to not just keep up the pace but actually beat already high expectations. At $665, the stock’s trading at about 50 times what analysts expect for 2026 earnings and 43 times for 2027. Big U.S. defense players are closer to 30. That gap doesn’t really close over the next two years unless Elbit crushes their earnings projections. The case for owning the stock is all about its huge backlog and the current defense boom. Honestly, these aren’t surprises anymore. I think most investors are already betting Elbit keeps putting up double-digit revenue growth, keeps boosting margins, and throws off steady cash. The risk is if orders start to cool off, costs go up, or shipments get pushed back. The stock could get hit hard. Strong Growth is Driven by Land Systems and Major Contract Wins Elbit’s right where tech innovation meets growing defense budgets, especially in Europe and Israel. They’ve become the go-to for governments wanting to modernize their militaries. You can see it in their numbers: big European artillery deals, with 12% growth overall and especially strong results from their land (up 41%) and cyber arms. Management’s been highlighting the wins. They just landed a record $2.3 billion contract , their biggest ever. But I think the market already expects this level of performance. The question now isn't, “Can Elbit win deals?” It’s “Can they keep growing this fast when everyone’s watching?” Elbit Systems Right now, we’re in a real defense boom. European and Israeli spending is way up after Ukraine. Elbit...

Dilok Klaisataporn Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon sees a favorable economic landscape ahead, describing the macro setup for 2026 as “quite good.” In an interview with CNBC, Solomon pointed to two primary catalysts driving his optimism: strong fiscal stimulus across developed economies and a significant surge in capital investment fueled by artificial intelligence technology, which he characterized as “very, very stimulative to the economy and to economic activity.” The banking executive also highlighted a major deregulatory shift in the U.S. as an additional tailwind for growth. Solomon explained that when regulatory burdens ease, companies can redirect resources previously spent on compliance toward “more productive parts of the business,” creating momentum for broader economic activity. Goldman Sachs economist Jan Hatzius projects 2.9% real growth and 5% nominal growth for the year, figures Solomon noted are on the higher end of consensus estimates. However, the CEO suggested actual performance could exceed even those forecasts, observing that conversations with market participants indicate “we could see better than that” in what he described as a “constructive environment.” On deal activity and public offerings, Solomon expressed confidence that the IPO market ( IPO ) will strengthen, predicting “potentially some very, very large IPOs, unprecedented in size.” He acknowledged challenges for smaller IPOs, which “require more discount, more patience,” and noted he has met with SEC Chair Atkins to discuss ways to create broader market participation for retail investors who are increasingly shut out of private market gains. Despite the optimistic outlook, Solomon voiced genuine concern about the nation’s fiscal trajectory. “I have real concern for the continued level of deficit spending and the growth of the debt and the deficit,” he said, adding that sustained higher growth rates are essential to managing these challenges. Without fiscal discipline and ...
