MPLX remains a top-tier midstream operator with a durable 7%-plus yield, strong free cash flow and attractive coverage. The trade here is to own exposure for income while protecting capital: enter around current levels, set a tight stop, and target a breakout above the 52-week high for upside. I like owning MPLX for distributions, but I have stoppe…
Host Hotels & Resorts reported Q2 2026 adjusted EPS of $0.35 and revenue of $1.64 billion, beating consensus estimates, but shares plunged after management signaled only modest full-year GAAP revenue growth and highlighted near-term headwinds including a decline in transient room nights, Hawaii storm-related costs and elevated capital spending.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said outside a Rio Tinto aluminum plant in Quebec that U.S. import duties on foreign aluminum are largely being passed through to American purchasers.

Block Inc. shares slid 6.1% to $79.07 in mid-day trading after an initial post-earnings pop, as investors parsed a set of Q2 2026 results that beat on adjusted EPS and revenue but revealed several operational headwinds.

Texas Pacific Land shares slumped intraday after the company reported Q2 results that missed consensus revenue and some EPS benchmarks. While the firm posted record consolidated net income and free cash flow supported by higher oil royalties and volumes, weaker water services revenue and no land-sale gains versus the prior quarter pressured the top…
Ukraine's military intelligence says a North Korean missile unit of roughly 90 personnel has started deploying in western Russia, potentially bringing up to 120 ballistic missiles and six launchers to the Voronezh region under Russia's 112th Missile Brigade. The move would extend an already deep military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang tha…
President Donald Trump publicly affirmed his satisfaction with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's performance after a media report said the president had expressed frustration about munitions shortages and being misled about weapons stockpile levels. Trump dismissed the account, praised recent military actions, touted expansion in defense manufacturi…
Fresnillo (FNLPF) has been pulled down by production narratives, but technicals, heavy short positioning and industry tailwinds for silver open a mid-term swing opportunity. Enter near $37.00 with a $33.00 stop and a $46.00 target over roughly 45 trading days—a trade that bets on a re-rating as balance-sheet moves and improving metal markets reasse…
Artesian Resources Corporation announced a regular quarterly dividend of $0.3199 per share payable August 28, 2026.

A Reuters poll of 18 analysts indicates Mexico's annual headline inflation probably slowed to 3.12% in July, the fourth straight monthly decline and the lowest reading since May 2020. Core inflation also appears to have eased to 3.94%, while month-on-month consumer prices are estimated to have risen 0.03%. The central bank is expected to hold its p…
MercadoLibre is showing accelerating customer engagement and record revenue growth while intentionally sacrificing near-term margins to scale logistics and credit. I think those margin pressures are temporary. Enter a mid-term long at $1785.00 with a $2200 target and a $1650 stop to capture upside from margin stabilization, fintech monetization, an…
Zebra Technologies has ripped from its March lows and is trading near its 52-week high after bullish guidance and AI-frontline demand. The business generates solid free cash flow and sits at a reasonable enterprise multiple for growth.

Intel (INTC) looks to have crossed an inflection point where operational improvement and clearer foundry economics make a measured long trade attractive. Buy with a clear stop and a two-stage upside target tied to execution milestones.
Amazon just cleared the $3 trillion threshold in market value — a headline milestone, not an endpoint. Fundamentals still favor upside: AWS and advertising provide software-like margins, EPS of $12.54 supports a reasonable P/E expansion, and an Anthropic IPO could crystallize a multibillion-dollar gain. I lay out a structured long trade with entry,…
Javvy, the producer of caffeinated protein coffee powders and concentrates, is conducting an early-stage sale process that could place its valuation around $1 billion. The South Carolina firm, generating nearly $300 million in annual sales, has hired Houlihan Lokey, according to people familiar with the matter. Javvy’s product lineup and recent ret…
S&P Global Ratings changed its outlook on The Mosaic Co. to negative from stable while keeping the issuer credit rating at BBB, forecasting a drop in funds from operations to debt below 20% in 2026 and materially lower adjusted EBITDA as elevated sulfur and ammonia costs erode phosphate segment margins and constrain production and cash flow.
Bper Banca's chief executive, Gianni Franco Papa, told analysts the lender's capital position gives it latitude to pursue strategic combinations and step up shareholder returns should market conditions allow. The bank plans to launch a share buyback program immediately after the summer period ends and is tracking several potential consolidation mov…
Speaking in Saguenay, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada is defending domestic workers and businesses as talks continue in Washington over a review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade pact.

With the U.S. campaign against Iran now lasting six months, the administration confronts a narrowing set of options: accept a temporary Iran-Oman arrangement that would give Tehran oversight in the Strait of Hormuz, risk a major military escalation that could prolong the crisis, or sustain a costly status quo of blockades and intermittent retaliati…
I initiated a long position in W.W. Grainger after a post-earnings pullback. The company’s strong free cash flow ($1.51B), exceptional return on equity (~45%), and an impending dividend payment create a favorable risk-reward for a swing trade. Technicals look stretched to the downside (RSI ~36), offering a defined entry, stop, and target with a mid…

The reallocation of risk across the options chain arrives as the company approaches an earnings report and …
GE HealthCare's recent order momentum, improving Patient Care Solutions (PCS) recovery, and a deep innovation pipeline support a constructive trade. Valuation is reasonable - market cap ~$31.8B, P/E ~16, EV/EBITDA ~11 - and free cash flow generation ($1.578B) provides downside protection. I'll take a long position with a 180 trading-day horizon, si…
