SO WHAT: If you purchased Graphic Packaging securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Graphic Packaging class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=64523 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 6, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Graphic Packaging was experiencing, inter alia, significant inventory management issues, as well as significantly reduced demand and volumes and increased costs; (2) defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of the foregoing issues, which were likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on Graphic Packaging's business and financial results; (3) defendants likewise overstated the strength and sustainability of Graphic Packaging's business model and operations, as well as its ability to weather ongoing macroeconomic headwinds; (4) accordingly, Graphic Packaging's previously issued full year 2025 financial guidance was unreliable and/or unrealistic; and (5) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

A crucial element in SpaceX's soaring IPO was the army of do-it-yourself traders who bought some $118 million of SpaceX stock on the first day of trading.
Meta has begun dismantling its $2 billion acquisition of Manus, completing an operational separation from the Chinese-founded AI startup and halting data sharing between the two companies. This is the most concrete step yet toward complying with a divestiture order Beijing issued roughly two months ago on national security grounds.
Meta has cut Manus off from its internal systems, Bloomberg reported, preventing employees from using Manus tools for internal projects as the two companies move toward a full separation.
Meanwhile, according to May reports, the co-founders of Manus have held preliminary discussions about raising approximately $1 billion from outside investors to reclaim the startup from Meta, a move that could pave the way for a Chinese joint venture structure and an eventual listing in Hong Kong, a venue that has seen a surge in AI listings this year for Chinese AI startups like MiniMax and Zhipu.
What was supposed to be a landmark exit for Chinese AI is quickly unraveling. The move underscores Beijing’s determination to retain control over strategically sensitive technology, regardless of a company’s offshore incorporation.
In addition to the forced divestiture, Chinese authorities have since expanded travel restrictions to researchers and executives at private firms, requiring government approval before heading abroad. China is also tightening its grip on foreign capital, with reports indicating that top AI firms, including Moonshot AI, StepFun, and ByteDance, will need government sign-off before accepting U.S. investment, adding another layer to Beijing’s sweeping effort to control its AI sector.
Even as Meta moves to sever ties with Manus, the agentic AI startup has continued to ship new features, rolling out integrations with Similarweb and Shopify.
Manus drew widespread attention with a viral agent demo relocated its staff to Singapore in mid-2025 before announcing a $2 billion acquisition by Meta in December. Chinese regulators moved to scrutinize the transaction earlier this year, citing potential violations of technology export controls and foreign investment rules.
Manus investors, including California-based venture firm Benchmark, have already received their proceeds from the acquisition, while Asian backers, including Tencent, HSG, and ZhenFund, have indicated they will cooperate with the unwinding process, according to the WSJ.
Manus’ Chinese origins with parent company Butterfly Effect drew scrutiny on both sides of the Pacific, with Senator John Cornyn questioning whether American capital should flow to a Chinese-linked firm.
Meta and Manus did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours.

Tesla (TSLA +1.65%) and SpaceX (SPCX +19.22%) CEO Elon Musk just crossed a line no one ever has. With the public-market debut of SpaceX on Friday, the value of his stake in the rocket and satellite company pushed his net worth past $1 trillion, making him the world's first trillionaire. In fact, as of this writing, he's worth more than the next four people on the global wealth rankings combined.
But for the millions of people who own Tesla stock, the milestone is less a story about Tesla than about where Musk's fortune now sits. After Friday's debut, his SpaceX stake was worth more than $760 billion -- well over twice the value of the Tesla shares he holds. The company that made Musk famous is no longer where most of his wealth lives.
Tesla, still about a $1.3 trillion company, is now just one of two enormous public companies Musk leads. Here's a closer look at what that means for its shareholders.
Image source: Getty Images.
How SpaceX minted a trillionaire SpaceX priced its initial public offering (IPO) at $135 a share, opened around $150 on Friday, and pushed higher from there, ending its first trading day valued at more than $2 trillion. That makes the rocket maker one of the largest companies in the United States, built on an offering that raised about $75 billion.
This isn't only a space company, though. Earlier this year, SpaceX merged with Musk's artificial intelligence (AI) start-up, xAI, putting a fast-growing AI business inside the company that just went public. And Tesla is tied to the result: it owns a small stake in SpaceX, which in turn is a Tesla customer for Megapack batteries and Cybertrucks. Further, through a dual-class structure, Musk controls about 82% of SpaceX's voting power while owning about 42% of its equity -- a degree of control he doesn't have at the carmaker.

None of this means Musk is stepping back from Tesla. Last year, Tesla shareholders approved a pay package that could be worth about $1 trillion if he hits a long list of valuation and operational targets, an arrangement built to keep him focused on the company for years. But he now sits atop two public businesses of staggering size, and his attention, like his fortune, is split across both.
What it means for Tesla investors In the meantime, Tesla isn't the growth story it used to be.
The electric-car maker's revenue fell about 3% in 2025 -- the first annual revenue decline in the company's history. And even after a stronger first quarter to start off 2026 (revenue rose 16% to $22.4 billion, with about 358,000 vehicles delivered), the company earned just $477 million in net income. Against earnings that thin, the stock trades at about 370 times earnings as of this writing.
That price only makes sense if you believe Tesla becomes something far larger than a carmaker. And that belief rests almost entirely on Musk's vision for autonomy and robots -- the same kind of long-term bet that drives SpaceX.
"I think Optimus will be our biggest product, not just Tesla's biggest product ever, but probably the biggest product ever," Musk said during Tesla's first-quarter earnings call, referring to its humanoid robot.
So, Tesla investors are really betting on Musk himself -- his vision and his willingness to keep funding it.
Additionally, management has guided capital expenditures of more than $25 billion this year (a huge step up from last year) -- largely for factories and AI infrastructure. Significant capital expenditures like this add significant risk for the stock.
A public SpaceX shifts the picture in a subtler way, too. A large block of Musk's SpaceX shares does not vest unless, among other conditions, the company someday builds a colony on Mars. But he can borrow against them, which means his potential access to cash is increasingly tied to SpaceX, not Tesla.
And for years, buying Tesla was one of the only ways for public investors to bet on Musk's biggest ambitions. That's no longer true. Anyone who wants exposure to his space and AI dreams can now simply buy SpaceX, without taking on a struggling car business to get it. Some investors are even watching whether the two companies could eventually merge.

So, what does all of this mean for Tesla stock?
Less than the trillionaire headlines suggest. Musk's net worth doesn't change how many cars Tesla sells or whether its robotaxi bet ever pays off. What the moment does is sharpen the real question for shareholders: Tesla is now one of two giant companies competing for Musk's time and capital, and investors finally have a more direct way to own his boldest bet. I think that puts the focus where it belongs -- on Tesla's autonomy and AI story, not Musk's place on the rich list.

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of common stock of Roblox Corporation (NYSE: RBLX) between October 30, 2025 and April 30, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 7, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the complaint, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Roblox’s organic growth potential; notably, that Roblox would see a significant slowdown in its growth rates as enrollment in the age verification rollout would quickly taper, compounding the resulting slowdown in on-platform communication, resulting in app store rating reductions and a swift reduction in organic growth. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

What Buyers Researching ICE Box Are Looking For
Search interest around "ICE Box claims evaluated" reflects consumer verification behavior before purchasing. Buyers often want to understand how ICE Box is designed, what the system includes, what types of documents it is intended to organize, and how the product fits household emergency-preparedness planning.
Why Household Document Organization Matters
Many households store important documents in multiple scattered locations, which can make records harder to locate during emergencies, estate administration, travel disruptions, or family transitions.
Estate administration, medical emergencies, natural disasters, and sudden family transitions all create the same situation: family members need specific documents quickly, under stress, often without the person who knew where everything was kept. A centralized document organization system is designed to close that gap before it becomes a problem.
ICE Box is designed specifically for that scenario. It brings everything — records, valuables, digital backups, and keys — into one organized, protected system that any authorized family member can navigate without guidance.
Buyer takeaway: ICE Box is designed to address the scattered-document problem that makes estate administration, emergency response, and family transitions harder than they need to be. The system is built to organize everything in one place before an urgent situation requires it.

How ICE Box Is Designed to Work
Quick answer: ICE Box is a personal document storage system that organizes important household records, valuables, and digital files into one unit built with fireproof and water-resistant materials, using 12 labeled folders, a 32GB USB stick, a protective pouch, and key tags — all guided by an expert-developed step-by-step checklist. The system is designed to complete setup in under one hour.
ICE Box is built around a simple, structured setup process. The included step-by-step guide — developed by estate experts and lawyers — covers every document category a household is likely to need, in sequence, so nothing gets skipped. No prior estate planning knowledge is required. Most households complete the full setup in a single session.
The 12 labeled document folders are designed to cover the full range of household documents: deeds and titles, final arrangement instructions, insurance policy details, financial records, passports and birth certificates, precious photos, and digital file backups. Each folder is color-coded for fast identification by any family member.
The 32GB USB stick is included to protect digital documents, photos, and videos that exist only in digital form. A secure pouch holds jewelry, heirlooms, keys, and small physical valuables alongside the document folders. Color-coded key tags allow labeling of car keys, house keys, safety deposit box keys, and any other keys the household needs to keep identified and accessible.
ICE Box measures 11.8" H x 10.4" D x 13" W — spacious enough for legal-sized documents, small valuables, and digital storage devices, while remaining compact and lightweight enough to carry in an emergency.
Buyer takeaway: ICE Box organizes the full scope of household documents — physical records, valuables, digital files, and keys — through a single structured setup process designed to take under an hour. The core organizational components are included with the system.
ICE Box Emergency Preparedness Design
ICE Box is designed with fireproof and water-resistant materials intended to add a layer of physical protection for stored documents. For sensitive papers requiring additional protection, ICE Box is designed to accommodate waterproof sleeves inside the unit alongside the standard folders.
The grab-and-go design is intentional. ICE Box is built to be lightweight and compact enough to carry out of a home during an evacuation. ICE Box is designed to remain accessible inside the home rather than stored in an off-site location — so it's available when it's needed without requiring a separate trip or appointment.
A combination lock and secure latch provide two layers of physical security for everything inside. The tamper-resistant construction is designed to help limit unauthorized access while keeping the system simple enough for authorized family members to open without difficulty.
ICE Box is designed to stay accessible at all times. A home office, closet, or location near an exit — somewhere a family member can locate it quickly without instructions — is the intended storage location.

ICE Box for Estate and Legacy Organization
ICE Box is designed to organize documents that are relevant to estate administration: wills, deeds, titles, insurance policies, financial records, final arrangement instructions, and identification documents that family members may need when managing an estate.
ICE Box is designed to work for two groups at once. The primary user gains a single, organized location for every document that matters to their household. Their family members gain a clear, labeled reference point — so that when documents are urgently needed, they are easier to locate through a labeled category system.
ICE Box includes space for documents across all stages of life. The folder categories are designed to accommodate what a household needs now and what it will accumulate over time, so the system remains relevant as a household's estate grows and changes.
ICE Box is not a substitute for legal, financial, insurance, estate-planning, or emergency-preparedness advice. Users with questions about estate planning, legal documents, insurance coverage, or emergency planning should consult qualified professionals. ICE Box is designed to organize and protect documents — not to create, interpret, or manage them.
Buyer takeaway: ICE Box is designed to give households a complete, labeled organizational system for estate-relevant documents. The goal is to make those documents easier to locate through a labeled category system — without requiring the primary user to be present or the family to know where to start looking.
How ICE Box Compares to Other Storage Approaches
Quick answer: ICE Box is designed to address specific limitations of ordinary folders, filing cabinets, home safes, and off-site storage by combining document organization, physical protection, digital backup support, and home accessibility in one system. ICE Box is built to remain accessible inside the home, organized with an expert-developed estate-planning structure, and portable enough to carry during an emergency.
ICE Box is designed to address limitations common to storage approaches that households typically assemble without professional structure. Ordinary folders and boxes provide no fire or water protection and no guided category framework — meaning commonly needed document types can be harder to locate when they are urgently required. ICE Box is built with physical protections and a guided category structure intended to help households organize commonly needed document types.
A safety deposit box provides bank-grade physical security but requires an off-site visit to access. ICE Box is designed to remain accessible inside the home rather than stored in an off-site location, making it available during situations where leaving home or accessing a bank may not be straightforward.
Hiring an estate attorney provides professional legal guidance on estate structure and document preparation. ICE Box is designed to store and organize what professional estate planning produces. The two work together — ICE Box is not positioned as a replacement for professional estate advice, but as the physical organizational home for the documents that professional advice generates.

Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA +0.73%)(BRKB +0.71%) is one of the most recognized names on Wall Street. That notoriety is based on former CEO Warren Buffett's long history of success as an investor. However, what allowed him to invest is often overlooked. The key ingredient was the so-called "float." And it isn't just Berkshire Hathaway that has benefited from the float, which is the powerful tool that allows insurance companies to generate billions in profits for shareholders. Here's what you need to know.
A timing mismatch is the big win for insurance companies What, exactly, is the float? An insurance company like Progressive (PGR +0.32%) collects money from its customers as they pay for their insurance coverage. But Progressive doesn't actually pay out any money until a claim is filed. Not every customer files a claim, so Progressive keeps some of the premiums it collects. However, there will always be some number of claims, so Progressive, like all insurers, needs to have money available to pay them. The float is the money an insurance company like Progressive has collected and is holding to pay claims.

Insurance companies don't put that money in a safe and let it sit idle. They invest it. Some companies are very conservative with the cash, largely investing in bonds to generate income. Others, like Berkshire Hathaway, have taken a more aggressive approach, investing in stocks and, in the case of Berkshire Hathaway, buying entire companies.
Berkshire Hathaway is an unusual case Warren Buffett's insight was that he could use float in ways others didn't. His investment approach made him a household name and a Wall Street icon, but it was the float that made it all possible. There are other companies that mimic the Berkshire Hathaway model, including Markel Group (MKL +0.87%) and Brookfield Corporation (BN +0.40%), which is currently shifting its business to become what it describes as an investment-led insurance company.

That said, most insurance companies, like Progressive, take a more conservative approach. But even taking a conservative approach to the float can be highly profitable, as Progressive generated investment income of $917 million in the first quarter of 2026 alone. Annualizing that figure puts the insurance giant on pace to generate nearly $3.7 billion in investment income, which would be up from roughly $3.58 billion in 2025.
That said, there is a downside to investing the float. When markets are rising and profits are flowing, the float is a powerful wealth creator. But investing the float puts that money at risk. When a bear market occurs and/or interest rates rise sharply, the value of an insurance company's investments can decline.

Progressive specifically warns that "If the fixed-income or equity portfolios, or both, were to suffer a substantial decrease in value, our financial position, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected." In such situations, an insurance company's financial position would weaken, and reported earnings could be reduced. So the float is a powerful tool, but one that has to be wielded wisely. This is why most insurance companies are not as aggressive as Berkshire Hathaway when investing their float.
Be ready for volatility if you own an insurance company The big takeaway is that insurance companies can generate billions in profit from the float, but those profits are not risk-free. In fact, insurance companies are likely to be smarting from a bear market at the same time that you are and for similar reasons. That can make insurance stocks hard to hold through the trough of a typical bull/bear market cycle.
But, at the same time, patient investors may also find that bear markets open up attractive investment opportunities in the insurance sector. So, perhaps, dig into the sector now and create a wishlist of insurers you'd like to own if only they were cheaper. Berkshire Hathaway and Progressive could easily find their way onto that list for most investors.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company.

In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) POET Technologies misrepresented its tax status due to it likely being deemed a passive foreign investment company (or "PFIC") under U.S. tax laws which, if not properly reported by each U.S. stockholder, would have negative tax implications for those U.S. stockholders; (2) the foregoing tax issue would, if discovered, make POET Technologies a less attractive investment than it would otherwise be, thus threatening POET Technologies' valuation; (3) Defendant Thomas Mika, despite affirming that he was not violating a non-disclosure agreement, in fact violated a business agreement by speaking about POET Technologies' business agreements in a public interview, thus endangering POET Technologies' business prospects, and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about POET Technologies' business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR 2.32%) was among the biggest early winners of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. Customers rushed to the company for its AI-driven software platform, and this helped supercharge Palantir's revenue growth. Investors rewarded this performance by piling into the stock, and that pushed it to a gain of more than 700% over three years.
But recent times haven't been as easy for Palantir, at least from a stock performance perspective. While earnings growth and demand remain strong, the stock price hasn't followed. Instead, Palantir has fallen, heading for a loss of 26% so far this year.
And this has made Palantir, a stock once considered very expensive, cheaper too. Is the stock ripe for a rebound at today's level? Let's find out.
Image source: Getty Images.
Palantir's path so far First, we'll consider Palantir's path so far. As mentioned, Palantir is among the first batch of companies that have translated AI expertise into revenue. The company actually has been around for quite some time -- more than 20 years -- and over that time, perfected its software platforms that help customers harness the power of their data. The U.S. government represented the major revenue driver for Palantir in its early days, but in recent times, Palantir's AI platform, launched in 2023, has helped generate big gains in the commercial market.
This product is the Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), and it incorporates large language models in its aggregation and analysis of a customer's data, so that the customer can then make better use of the data. For example, a customer may use its conclusions to make strategic decisions or develop new products and services.
And the great news here is that, since the AIP launch, the government and commercial businesses have been delivering significant growth in the double and triple digits. In the latest quarter, total revenue surged 85%, for the company's highest-ever year-over-year growth rate, to more than $1.6 billion. And Palantir's Rule of 40 score of 145% shows it's doing a tremendous job of balancing growth and profitability -- a score of 40% is considered good, and anything above that progressively better.
Importantly, gains in commercial customer count and total deal value, as well as ongoing comments from the company about strong demand, suggest this momentum will continue.

Why has Palantir stock declined? So, considering all of this, why has Palantir stock declined in recent months? The stock has faced a couple of headwinds. First, since early last year, some investors worried about Palantir's valuation, which peaked at 285x forward earnings estimates in November. By comparison, big tech companies involved in AI, such as Nvidia and Alphabet, at the time traded for less than 45x estimates.
This valuation level clearly made some investors think twice before buying the stock, particularly as certain analysts and investing professionals suggested that an AI bubble could be forming. Then, in the earlier months of this year, investors rotated out of the biggest AI winners and broadened exposure into other industries, such as healthcare and certain consumer-related stocks, as well as companies known for dividend growth. In an environment of uncertainty, with ongoing turmoil in Iran and rising inflation in the U.S., investors opted for stocks associated with a certain level of earnings stability.
All of this has weighed on Palantir stock in recent months. As a result, valuation -- the element that sparked caution in the first place -- has come down. Today, Palantir trades for 89x forward earnings estimates, which is still higher than many big tech stocks. Again, to use Nvidia and Alphabet as a comparison, they're trading for less than 25x estimates.

So, now that Palantir is cheaper, though still not cheap, could the stock be ripe for a rebound? I think it's possible, particularly if investors regain a general confidence in growth stocks -- this may be on the way if the U.S. and Iran reach a peace agreement. But the best news of all is, even if it takes time for Palantir stock to recover its momentum, the company has what it takes to deliver earnings growth and a win for investors over the long term.
Pharmaceutical giant Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY +0.26%) is offering investors a 4.5% yield. That is well above the 1% you'd collect from the S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) and the 1.6% average for the drug sector. While the yield looks relatively attractive, given how high it is, prudent investors will wonder if the dividend is safe. It's highly likely that it is, and here's why.
Bristol Myers Squibb is a well-run business Bristol Myers Squibb isn't an upstart drug company; it has been in business for a very long time and is highly respected. Notably, its dividend hasn't been increased every year, but it has trended higher for decades. That's an indication of the company's strength as a business and of the board of directors' understanding of the dividend's value to shareholders.
Image source: Getty Images.
At the end of the day, it is the board of directors that will decide Bristol Myers Squibb's dividend policy. However, dividend investors should consider several key statistics when evaluating the safety of the drug maker's lofty yield. For example, the dividend payout ratio is around 72%. That's kind of high, but not outlandishly so. There's some room for adversity before a cut would likely be in the cards.
There are reasons to worry about Bristol Myers Squibb's dividend That said, Bristol Myers Squibb has some important drugs losing patent protection: Revlimid, Pomalyst, and Eliquis, which is marketed with Pfizer (PFE +0.15%). Patent loses will put material pressure on its top and bottom lines over the next couple of years. Although the company is working to develop new drugs to replace the lost revenue, timing mismatches between patent losses and new drug development are common in the pharmaceutical sector. The payout ratio could rise in the near term.

Which is why a look at the company's balance sheet is equally important. For starters, Bristol Myers Squibb has an investment-grade credit rating, so it is financially strong. Notably, the debt-to-equity ratio is currently 2.2x, down from 3x at the end of 2024. Interest coverage is 6.3x, suggesting ample leeway for the company to meet its bond obligations. All of this suggests that, if needed, the company could take on additional debt to support its business and dividend if needed.
Not for super conservative investors, but not a huge risk either If you simply can't tolerate uncertainty, then maybe Bristol Myers Squibb's 4.5% yield won't be a good fit for your dividend portfolio. However, for most investors, the company's long and successful history, lofty but not unreasonable payout ratio, and strong financial position should provide ample confidence that the dividend will hold through the patent expiration headwinds Bristol Myers Squibb is facing right now.
Memory specialist Micron Technology (MU 1.02%) is scheduled to report its fiscal third-quarter results on Wednesday, June 24, after the market closes. And expectations heading into the report are about as high as they get. Shares have surged 244% in 2026, crossing a $1 trillion market capitalization along the way -- a milestone only two other memory companies have reached.
That run has been powered by an artificial intelligence (AI) build-out that has turned memory chips into one of the most sought-after components in the data center, and Micron into one of its biggest beneficiaries. But a stock that has climbed this far, this fast, leaves little room for a stumble.
Put another way, the stakes are high. And when the company reports later this month, a single number may tell investors more about whether the story is still intact than any other line in the release.
That number is gross margin.
Here's a closer look at why this one metric carries so much weight -- and what to watch as the report approaches.
Image source: Getty Images.
Why gross margin is the number that matters When Micron last reported, in March, its results were staggering across the board. Fiscal second-quarter revenue (the period ended Feb. 26, 2026) nearly tripled year over year to $23.86 billion, marking a company record. But the figure that best captured what's happening inside the business was gross margin, which expanded to about 75% from roughly 37% a year earlier. That is an enormous swing for a memory company, and it speaks directly to pricing.
Memory has historically been a brutal, commodity-like business, with prices swinging sharply as supply and demand fall in and out of balance. What's different now is that AI demand has collided with tight industry supply, sending prices higher and lifting margins along with them. In the fiscal second quarter, Micron said DRAM prices sequentially rose in the mid-60% range, and NAND prices climbed in the high-70% range.
For the fiscal third quarter, management guided for gross margin to reach about 81%. That would mark yet another step up. And it explains why this is the make-or-break figure: revenue can grow on volume alone, but a gross margin approaching 81% is a direct readout of how much pricing power Micron still holds.
If that number comes in at or above guidance, it confirms the favorable pricing environment is holding. If it slips, it could signal that the best of the pricing cycle is already behind the company.
"We expect higher price, lower cost and favorable mix to all contribute to gross margin expansion in Q3," said Micron chief financial officer Mark Murphy in the company's fiscal second-quarter earnings call.
That is the bar the report will be measured against.

The bull and bear cases The bull case rests on supply that simply can't keep up. High-bandwidth memory (HBM), a specialized type of DRAM that sits alongside AI processors, has become the tightest part of the chain -- and Micron has said its entire 2026 HBM supply is already sold out. That kind of visibility is rare for a chipmaker, and it suggests pricing could stay firm well into next year. And management has even gone further, saying it expects supply and demand for both DRAM and NAND to remain tight beyond calendar 2026.
There's also a structural argument. As AI models grow larger and lean more heavily on memory, the demand for Micron's chips may prove more durable than in past cycles.
"In the AI era, memory has become a strategic asset for our customers," said Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra when the company reported in March, pointing to the same dynamic that has reshaped the business.
The bear case is the one that has repeatedly plagued memory stocks: cyclicality. Micron has lived through painful downturns before -- most recently in 2023, when oversupply cratered prices and the company posted losses. And rivals Samsung and SK Hynix are notably racing to expand their own HBM output, and Micron itself is projecting more than $25 billion in capital spending this fiscal year. Should that supply arrive faster than AI demand can absorb it, the same pricing leverage now lifting margins could just as easily work in reverse.
So, what should investors make of all this heading into June 24?
With shares trading at a trailing price-to-earnings ratio in the mid-40s after their enormous run, a lot of good news is already baked in. I think the smartest approach is to keep your eyes on that gross margin line rather than the headline revenue number. It may be the best signal of whether Micron's pricing power -- and the thesis behind the stock's remarkable climb -- is still intact.

Marvell (MRVL +0.21%) shares are pulling back after soaring for most of 2026.

Even as the S&P 500 has risen 20% over the past year and sits near an all-time high, many of my favorite consumer goods stocks haven't joined in on this run. In fact, three of them look like incredible buying opportunities thanks to their once-in-a-decade low valuations. While tech, AI-adjacent, and semiconductor stocks continue to propel the market to new highs, many steady-Eddie consumer goods stocks have been left behind but deserve a long look from investors today.
Here's the case for buying each of these top-tier operators while they are available at rarely seen valuations.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
1. Chewy: 58% below 52-week high Leading e-commerce pet goods juggernaut Chewy (CHWY +2.88%) has had a tumultuous run as a publicly traded company since its 2019 debut. Currently, its stock is 14% below its initial public offering (IPO) price and 58% below its 52-week high, which might prompt investors to think Chewy's a busted business.
But that notion couldn't be further from the truth. Over the last seven years, Chewy's sales have nearly quadrupled. It has reached profitability (alongside strong free-cash-flow generation) and expanded into numerous, higher-margin pet categories.
Most importantly for investors, the core of Chewy's operations -- its Autoship offering (repeat, scheduled purchases of necessary items like pet food) -- remains robust, accounting for 84% of the company's sales. The steady, predictable nature of Autoship's sales provides Chewy with ample cash flows to explore new areas such as private-label goods, Chewy Vet Clinics (CVCs), advertising, health and wellness, and even an expansion into Canada.

I believe Chewy is poised to begin reaping the rewards of its investments in high-margin areas, particularly through its CVCs. Following the company's acquisition of fellow vet clinic Modern Animal, Chewy expects to have roughly 60 CVCs open in 2026. These CVCs are important to the Chewy investment thesis because 40% of their new customers weren't previously in the Chewy ecosystem. Furthermore, these new customers spend roughly $900 in their first year with Chewy -- well above the company's average of $600 for its current customer base.
Trading near an all-time low price-to-sales ratio of 0.6 and with an adjusted forward price-to-earnings ratio of 12.5, Chewy with its rising margins and high single-digit sales growth looks deeply undervalued.
2. Sprouts Farmers Market: 50% below 52-week high Health food-focused grocer Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM 2.03%) has also seen its share price roughed up lately, dropping 50% below its 52-week high. However, this decline probably had more to do with its valuation getting stretched too far than anything going wrong with the actual business.
Despite the challenging consumer environment and Sprouts' slight premium pricing for its differentiated groceries, sales rose 4% in its latest quarter, while same-store sales (SSS) only dipped 2%. While no SSS decline is great, I don't think it is outrageous considering the circumstances, and Sprouts' deeply discounted valuation at just 15.6 times forward earnings more than accounts for these challenges.

Sprouts shifted to a smaller store format in the early 2020s and has become a true growth story ever since thanks to its rising margins and improved new-store economics. Sprouts plans to continue growing its store count by more than 10% annually as it expands beyond its current 483 stores in 25 states. Over the long term, management hopes to triple its store count -- and I don't believe that is unrealistic as consumers continue to shift toward healthier eating options, especially among soaring GLP-1 use.
If Sprouts can deliver anywhere near that level of store-count expansion -- while launching a new loyalty program and growing its private-label offerings -- the company could be a top-tier growth stock at today's valuation.
3. Tractor Supply Company: 51% below 52-week high Much like Sprouts Farmers Market, leading rural lifestyle retailer Tractor Supply Company (TSCO 0.03%) has seen its sales growth slow to 4%, and its stock has been absolutely pummeled as a result. Down 51% from its 52-week high -- and trading at a mere 15 times earnings -- Tractor Supply is being treated as though it is going out of business rather than the niche-leading behemoth that it is.
TSCO PE Ratio data by YCharts.
The company has 2,435 stores. Management's long-term goal of 3,200 doesn't offer a massive growth opportunity like Sprouts, but Tractor Supply should benefit from the ongoing shift toward rural migration in the U.S. Furthermore, the company's Neighbor's Club rewards program is home to over 38 million members, which account for roughly 80% of Tractor Supply's sales, highlighting how entrenched members are into their ecosystem.
Additionally, since Tractor Supply's operations are rural focused, it generates the bulk of its sales from consumable, usable, and edible products, such as livestock feed, pet food, and essential farm supplies. These repeat purchases make the company's Neighbor's Club a no-brainer in most cases.

Best yet for prospective Tractor Supply investors, the company's 3.1% dividend yield is at its highest-ever level, and the dividend has been raised for 16 straight years. Despite this, the dividend uses only 46% of Tractor Supply's net income, so it is still incredibly well funded. Thanks to Tractor Supply's growing dividend, its massive loyal member base, its once-in-a-decade low valuation, and rural migration trends in the U.S., the company makes for an excellent steady-Eddie dividend growth stock to buy and hold for a decade.

Elon Musk, founder and CEO of SpaceX, speaks via video before the ringing of opening bell at the Nasdaq Marketsite at the launch of the company's initial public offering (IPO) on June 12, 2026 in New York City. Getty Images What do you do when your brokerage firm notifies you that you can get in on the deal of the century, the initial public offering of Elon Musk’s SpaceX?
For me, it was easy: Ignore it.
Mind you, the note was enticing. I was offered a “one-day indication of interest,” a window where I could tell the firm I wanted a piece of the AI-satellite-and-rocket conglomerate that aims to colonize Mars. Then, if I was lucky, I could get stock at the IPO price as opposed to the “pop” that comes after the deal is priced at $135 a share.
One problem: I’m a reporter who covers such stocks. I don’t buy individual shares because I can move prices and I don’t want to end up like Andrew Left, the famed short seller who just got convicted of stock manipulation in California.
The bigger problem: If this thing is so great, why come to me?
OK — I’m not quite the bottom of the barrel when it comes to investors; I am a “qualified investor,” which means I have enough savings to meet certain risk thresholds the SEC imposes on such stock sales. But if you know those limits, you also know that I didn’t make this year’s who’s who on Wall Street or in Silicon Valley.
SpaceX was the largest IPO ever. Musk & Co. raised $75 billion and the market valued SpaceX at more than $2 trillion. The deal was supposed to be so sought-after by the “smart money,” it was designated as four times “oversubscribed,” Wall Street parlance for more buyers than sellers.
And yet I have my doubts about the quality of the oversubscription and how long the pop in the stock will last. That’s when the irrational exuberance wears off and shares crater, as they so often do with these “hot IPOs.” The PR offensive to drum up interest had been going on for weeks, with lots of touting that everyone wants in on the next new thing. It picked up steam Thursday when the offering price was set to begin trading on Friday.
‘Dumb money’ What scares me is that it was also targeting the so-called “dumb money,” aka retail investors like me who are easy prey for Wall Street dealmakers and hedge fund flippers when they sell after the spike.
Look at the continued allure of meme stocks, companies with suspect balance sheets that online investors push as the next Apple and Amazon. Some have folded, others have crashed after the irrational exuberance of 2021, and all are well off their highs. Yet, the meme community still exists, hoping to make it big on some miracle when they would have been better off keeping whatever they had in the bank.
SpaceX isn’t a meme stock — far from it — but at least some of the same dynamics apply. Yes, Musk has a lengthy track record defying critics and swarms of short sellers predicting the demise of Tesla. The electric-car maker is now a $1.27 trillion company and among the market’s best performers, up over 30,000% since its IPO years back.

Musk himself was also worth more than $1 trillion after the SpaceX IPO started trading Friday — and more power to him. We need to reward visionary entrepreneurs who create stuff, making our lives better and more prosperous. Musk built his wealth; he weathered ups and downs along the way — and he produced. Tesla is profitable and it wasn’t always. It took him years to convince Wall Street he wasn’t a fugazy.
But that’s not the point of this column. The financials of SpaceX may or may not follow the same trajectory as Tesla. AI is the future, but so was the internet. Recall all those dot-coms that soared in price after their IPOs only to crash and burn when it came time to produce real earnings.
Last year SpaceX lost nearly $5 billion after turning a small profit in 2024 as it began to build out its AI infrastructure that is supposed to be the glue that holds this disparate conglomerate together.
It also might be worth looking at what this company does. Yes, it sends rockets to space and yes, it does operate satellites for broadband usage. And yes, this will be powered by AI, Musk’s company xAI, to be precise. Buried inside this company is also the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, which for all Elon’s headcount shaving still isn’t believed to be profitable.
Maybe this will work, although I’m not sure. There’s also the question of when it will work. On Friday, the IPO went great out of the gate; underwriters Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are the best in the business and they know how to work their book of investors.
There will be hedge funds and other savvy trading types who got in on the offering price, who will flip on the pop. Some smart people on Wall Street also believe shares will drop some 20% over the coming months because that’s how these things work.
I’m also pretty sure the underwriters know all of the above, which is why retail investors (like myself) got that call last week.
After all the buildup, the SpaceX (SPCX +19.22%) initial public offering (IPO) was perhaps a bit of a letdown. That's not necessarily because of the stock's performance, which was notable, but because the months of lead-up ended in an event that was completed in, basically, a day. It was sort of like waiting an hour for a roller coaster ride that only lasts three minutes.
Now that SpaceX is public, however, investors need to consider what it means. And one of the biggest issues is the company's massive size. With a $2.1 trillion market cap after just its first day of trading, it is already one of the world's largest companies. Here are a few things to think about if you own it, are considering buying it, or are just investing more broadly.
Image source: Getty Images.
How did the SpaceX IPO go? For those who remember the dot-com bubble, the SpaceX IPO wasn't that impressive. Back at the turn of the century, it was common for IPOs to double in a day. SpaceX "only" saw a price increase of around 19%, with the IPO price set at $135 per share and the stock closing its first day at roughly $160.
From a functional perspective, the bankers who handled the IPO did a pretty good job pricing it. Still, by the end of the day, the company's market cap ballooned to $2.1 trillion. There are only six companies that are larger than SpaceX, and it is a pretty tight race with Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM +0.46%) for the sixth spot, as the chipmaker's market cap is $2.199 trillion.
The good news here is that the market absorbed the IPO in relative stride. That bodes well for the future, since there are more large IPOs on tap, including Anthropic and OpenAI.

The size of SpaceX has led to big index changes That said, SpaceX's size, combined with the company's popularity, has led to interesting shifts in the world of indexes. While the S&P 500 index (^GSPC +0.50%) is holding to its inclusion rules, other indexes have made changes to quickly add SpaceX to their index lists. For example, the Nasdaq-100 will likely add SpaceX after around 15 days.
Being added to an index will lead index funds to buy the stock, creating additional demand for the shares. Inclusion in indexes will also create a base of investors who have no choice but to own the stock. The normal dynamics of a smaller IPO don't apply here, and, for the most part, the market is in uncharted waters. However, it seems reasonable to expect the shares to hold up, if not rise some more, at least in the near term. From a longer-term perspective, it seems reasonable to expect Anthropic and OpenAI to receive early index inclusions as well.
What about SpaceX as a business? SpaceX is already a massive company, but it is also spending heavily on research and development because "space" is still an emerging technology. While SpaceX is currently a leader in the space industry, there's no guarantee it will remain there. And, perhaps equally important, remaining a leader will likely mean SpaceX remains a money-losing business for longer. And then there's the massive capital being spent on Grok, SpaceX's AI product. Once again, a huge investment is needed to compete in the AI sector. Red ink is likely to be the norm for quite a while.

While the company's Starlink business is highly profitable, it is merely subsidizing its investments in space exploration and artificial intelligence. And even that isn't enough, since the company clearly needed to raise additional capital by going public. Buying SpaceX today is a bet that Elon Musk's vision will, someday, lead to a profitable business. That belief worked out well with Tesla (TSLA +1.65%), but there's no guarantee of a repeat performance.
In fact, despite its massive size, SpaceX is really just a money-losing start-up. If you wouldn't be comfortable owning a smaller money-losing start-up, you should probably think twice about buying SpaceX. A $2.1 trillion market cap doesn't magically turn SpaceX into a "safe" investment.
SpaceX: Think before you take this leap of faith Headline-grabbing events on Wall Street don't always work out as well as hoped over the long term. Right now, the excitement is high, but if SpaceX continues to bleed red ink, investor enthusiasm could quickly wane. For risk-averse investors, the best way to own SpaceX might be through a diversified index fund. More aggressive growth investors may want to jump aboard, but you'll probably want to think of the unprofitable company as a long-term holding.
Image Credits:Bruce Bennett / Getty Images Amazon CEO Andy Jassy may have been the source of security concerns that led Anthropic to cut off worldwide access to two models on Friday.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Jassy told Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and other government officials that Amazon researchers used Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 to obtain information that could be used in cyberattacks. The government subsequently imposed an export control ban on the Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models.
An Amazon spokesperson said in a statement that while it’s “not uncommon for governments to seek our counsel on potential security risks,” the company does not “share the details of those discussions.”
The spokesperson also pointed to an update stating that AWS has been affected by the model cut off.
The Information and Reuters similarly reported that Amazon (a major Anthropic investor) had communicated concerns about the security of Anthropic’s models.
David Sacks, Trump’s former AI czar who now co-chairs the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, offered his own account of the discussions, claiming that “a highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG […] came forward with a jailbreak.”
Sacks added, “The Admin asked [Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei] to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused.”

No matter what Adobe (ADBE 6.75%) does, it seemingly isn't good enough for investors. The stock slid yet again after posting another nice quarter, cutting its shares in half over the past year.
Let's take a closer look at the software-as-a-service (SaaS) company's results and prospects to see what could help get the stock moving in the right direction.

A model of consistency While there is a pervasive narrative that Adobe will be an artificial intelligence (AI) loser, the company has been a model of consistency that continues to deliver low-double-digit revenue growth quarter in and quarter out. This continued in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, ended May 29, with revenue rising 13%, or 11% in constant currencies, to $6.62 billion. This was well above its previous forecast for revenue of between $6.43 billion and $6.48 billion.
Annual recurring revenue (ARR), meanwhile, climbed 12.5% to $27.1 billion, and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) jumped 18% year over year to $5.96, ahead of Adobe's prior $5.80 to $5.85 outlook.
Turning to individual segments, the creative and marketing professionals customer group saw revenue grow by 13% to $4.54 billion. Revenue from the business professionals and consumers group climbed by 16% to $1.85 billion.
Adobe also upped its full-year guidance. It now expects adjusted EPS of $24.35 to $24.45 on revenue of $26.5 billion to $26.6 billion. That's up from an earlier outlook for adjusted EPS of $23.30 to $23.50 on revenue of $25.9 billion to $26.1 billion.
While the results and guidance were solid, investors didn't like that Adobe planned to lean into a freemium model to bring in more customers, which it said would have some short-term ARR impact. The company also announced that its CFO would depart, which follows an earlier announcement that its CEO was stepping down.

Is it time to buy Adobe stock? In the near term, the answer to that question appears to be no. The company continues to deliver solid, consistent results and generates huge free cash flow. However, despite trading at a forward P/E of just 8.5 times, the stock continually gets pushed down.
Given its growth and valuation, I think the stock looks interesting long-term, but right now there is no catalyst in sight to get the stock moving in the right direction. The company needs to shake the narrative that it will be an AI loser, and apparently, delivering consistent, solid revenue growth isn't the answer. As such, investors who own the stock are going to need to be extremely patient at this point.

Block (XYZ +0.62%) is an innovator within the world of financial services. Its Square segment, for example, provides numerous products, services, and software solutions specifically for merchants that have historically been underserved by the industry. The platform helps these sellers run their businesses better, supporting their ultimate success.
Recently, this fintech stock introduced a groundbreaking feature for its Square customers. In doing so, Block is trying to prove that the ultimate cryptocurrency has a real use case. Will this move work?
Image source: Block.
Further tapping into the Bitcoin ecosystem In 2018, Block's Cash App segment, which is a personal finance platform for individuals, introduced Bitcoin (BTC +1.17%) trading. This move was clear evidence that the business was a forward thinker. Bitcoin's value has grown to a $1.2 trillion asset today, even though its price trades about 50% below its record.
Block isn't done dabbling in the Bitcoin waters. In March, the Square segment enabled all its qualifying U.S. merchants (except those in New York) to accept Bitcoin payments at checkout. There are more than 4 million Square sellers, so this launch was certainly a notable development with a large addressable audience.
This move was a major advancement for Bitcoin penetration. According to River Financial, the number of merchants accepting the crypto for transactions was around 6,500 in North America at the end of 2025. This single solution from Block can be a gigantic move forward.
This move is yet another step by Block toward its Bitcoin ambitions. Besides the mentioned Cash App trading and Square payments acceptance, the business sells a Bitcoin hardware wallet called Bitkey and mining equipment under the Proto name. Through Spiral, the company also funds open-source projects.

It's still early During the first quarter (ended March 31), Bitcoin activities only accounted for 2.3% of Block's total gross profit. The leading cryptocurrency won't move the company's financial performance in any meaningful way anytime soon.
But progress is being made. According to Bitcoin Magazine, citing a Block employee, 1 million sellers activated Bitcoin functionality as of mid-May.
It's still so early. If adoption among Square sellers takes off, however, while customers use it to transact, it's a bullish signal for Bitcoin. Other payment companies might also copy this playbook.
Block's innovation could prove to be a tailwind for Bitcoin. Less than two decades old, the crypto is still viewed primarily as an investable asset. For Bitcoin to further penetrate the global economy, its strongest bulls would agree that it needs to evolve into a more widely used medium of exchange, which will boost demand for it.
Block is helping drive that mission. This is certainly an encouraging development for Bitcoin investors.
Despite the S&P 500 climbing and routinely breaking its all-time highs recently, the U.S. consumer sentiment survey just printed 44.8 in May, the lowest reading in its history, undercutting even the gloom of the mid-2022 inflation scare. When shoppers feel this battered, they typically trim their purchases of discretionary goods first, and the textbook response for investors is to hunt the companies that are about to feel that squeeze.
The idea is that the ongoing consumer despair will lead to discounts on certain consumer-facing stocks soon, which, for those who pick the right assets, will then (hopefully) lead to gains when the mood inevitably lifts. The trouble is that the bargain bin is presently much emptier than that theory predicts, which is making many investors concerned that their new investments will be placed in highly overvalued assets that might never recover to their current price.
So should investors be worried about how gloomy consumers are feeling right now?

Where's the money going? When household budgets tighten because people are either expecting or experiencing hard economic times, people tend to redirect their spending rather than halt it altogether.
That meshes with census data, which shows headline retail sales still climbing, even as discretionary and big-ticket categories soften. Be on the lookout for buying opportunities over the next year or so, as you'll probably see some serious earnings softness leading to deep discounts on shares if consumer sentiment remains so sour.
The other side of the coin is that the most obvious winners of this era of discontent are the warehouse and discount giants, Walmart, (WMT +0.44%) Costco Wholesale, (COST +0.67%) where a dollar can be stretched the furthest.
Of course, much to the chagrin of investors, the market figured this out years ago. Walmart's trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 42, and Costco's is 49. By that measure, both rank as being fairly expensive for recession-resistant retailers.

Nonetheless, even if the market experiences a sharp downturn, those names are more likely than not to bounce back, even if consumers remain unhappy.
The case for staying calm The best move for investors right now is to stay patient and to be highly selective about which stocks to buy and when. The most important trigger to be watching is actual spending habits, not feelings.
If discretionary outlays keep contracting over the next couple of quarters to the point where there appears to be little hope for the stocks of luxury goods producers and similar companies, that will be the moment to look for bargains to buy in that segment. At the same time, the valuations of Costco, Walmart, and other consumer staples businesses may be even less favorable by then, so be more cautious.

In other words, position yourself to take advantage of poor consumer sentiment and any of the resulting market volatility as the opportunities present themselves, and don't be worried about it specifically. It's frustrating to experience inflation, but worrying (rather than taking action) will just make it harder to bear.

Will it, or won't it? That's the question most investors are struggling to answer after last week's shocking inflation reports. They were already well up in April, and May's inflation figures hit three-year highs.
The Federal Reserve's usual response would be to raise interest rates to curb price-inflating spending. But raising rates in this challenging economic environment could end up doing more harm than good. Now the rate cuts anticipated to begin later this year have ceded to cautious, defensive bets that they'll actually start inching higher then. Such indecision, of course, works against stocks.
There is one company that benefits from this uncertainty, and all the hedging stemming from it. That's CME Group (CME +2.80%), formerly known as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
The market is responding That's not all it is anymore. In 2007, the exchange merged with the Chicago Board of Trade to form parent company CME Group, which went on to acquire the New York Mercantile Exchange. Now the organization operates as a futures middleman for agricultural commodities, metals, interest rates, some market indexes, and more. If it's not a stock, it's probably handled by CME.
This is an important distinction, too.

Just because trading activity in equities might be muted doesn't mean the need to manage other auction-priced assets simply goes away. Plenty of companies, including airlines, food processors, insurers, and even miners, will buy and sell futures contracts as a means of protecting themselves from unpredictable price changes. Speculative traders do it too, although the practice has certainly become less speculative than it used to be. It's a must-do for institutions and even individuals looking to defend their portfolios from the unknown.
This trading, of course, has a cost, and this cost is collected by CME in the form of spreads, transaction fees, and simply selling market data.
This has become a very big deal to CME in the past couple of months, when inflation firmed up dramatically. Interest rate futures contracts -- one of several futures CME handles -- have seen a swell of trading activity.
Take CME's reported activity on highly popular 10-year Treasury notes as an example. Nearly 73 million contracts traded hands last month, up 24% year over year, and nearly 92% higher than April's activity. Two-year note futures activity jumped almost 31% from last May's levels, and soared almost 129% just from the prior month. Five-year note trading volume improved 94% in one month alone, while always-active Fed Funds Rate futures experienced a 61.5% increase in trading volume between April and May.
Image source: Getty Images.
That's just a sampling. It's also just through May, and doesn't yet reflect the surge that's sure to have stemmed from the recently posted inflation figures that are forcing the Fed's hand.
Sooner than later It's still too soon to say for sure whether this backdrop will prove a boon for CME Group in the fiscal quarter ending this month. For what it's worth, though, analysts' expectations for 2% revenue growth this quarter -- and comparable earnings growth -- seem low in light of the sudden swell of interest rate futures trading activity.
Either way, analysts think it's coming sooner than later. They're modeling top-line growth of nearly 11% for next quarter, with similar earnings growth in the cards.
Axcelis Technologies (ACLS +3.77%), a leader in semiconductor equipment, reported a sale by its VP Corporate Controller amid strong one-year stock performance.
Todd Sutton, Vice President Corporate Controller of Axcelis Technologies (ACLS +3.77%), reported the open-market sale of 2,574 shares of common stock for a total consideration of ~$422,000, according to a SEC Form 4 filing.

The company leverages decades of engineering expertise to deliver high-performance tools that are critical to advanced chip manufacturing. Its focus on both innovative equipment and comprehensive lifecycle support strengthens its competitive position in the semiconductor capital equipment market.
What this transaction means for investorsSutton's open-market sale represents roughly a quarter of his reported direct holdings, but most of what remains are unvested RSUs subject to forfeiture — meaning his actual unrestricted position after the sale is thin. That shrinks the insider confidence signal without making it a red flag. Axcelis competes in a specialized niche where customer relationships and equipment qualification cycles create real switching costs against rivals like Applied Materials(AMAT +2.69%) — a genuine moat, though a narrow one. The bear case is cyclicality. Semiconductor capital equipment spending moves hard with industry investment cycles, and Axcelis is more exposed than the diversified equipment giants. If fab spending softens, order books tighten fast, and the stock's run over the past year reflects a strong cycle, not a re-rating of the business. After a run like this, a buy only works if you believe the cycle has more runway than the market is pricing in — that fab spending holds, backlog keeps growing, and margins don't compress. A design win at a major new fab buildout would give the stock a non-cyclical leg, but absent that, you're making a cycle call. If wafer fab equipment (WFE) spending is already rolling over, you're buying late. The stock reflects a lot of good news already. For most investors, the risk/reward after a run like this favors watching over buying. That said, I did build a small semiconductor and AI basket a couple of months ago on names I have conviction in — accepting the volatility that comes with it. If that's your approach, a small position isn't unreasonable. The semiconductor sector runs hot and corrects hard; size it accordingly.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 13, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of FS KKR Capital Corp. (NYSE: FSK) between May 8, 2024 and February 25, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 6, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased FS KKR Capital securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the FS KKR Capital class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=64089 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 6, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) FS KKR Capital overstated the effectiveness of its portfolio restructuring efforts for its nonaccrual companies; (2) FS KKR Capital overstated the valuation of its portfolio investments and/or overstated the effectiveness of FS KKR Capital's portfolio valuation process; (3) FS KKR Capital overstated the durability of its quarterly distribution strategy; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about FS KKR Capital's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the FS KKR Capital class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=64089 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

American investors have no shortage of opportunities to deploy capital within the U.S. financial services industry. However, it's a good idea to expand your horizons. There are booming businesses in other parts of the world.
Nu Holdings (NU +0.62%) is a prime example. It has become a banking powerhouse in Latin America. And it now sports a market cap of $59 billion. Here's what investors need to know before buying the fintech stock.
Image source: Getty Images.
All signs point to ongoing success Nu's value proposition is clear. It provides low-cost, transparent, and easy-to-access financial services to an audience that was not only historically underserved but also unfamiliar with a digital-first model. Founded in 2013, this business continues to register phenomenal growth as its adoption soars.
As of March 31, Nu had over 135 million customers, up 14% year over year. An ever-expanding user base propels the top line. First-quarter 2026 revenue jumped 42% to $5.3 billion.
Most of the users are in Brazil, the company's home country. Nu has a presence in Mexico (15 million customers), where it's the third-largest financial institution. And it has nearly 5 million customers in Colombia. Additionally, while it obtains the necessary approvals, the business is planning to start operations in the U.S. next year, which would be a major milestone.
Still in hypergrowth mode, Nu is reporting sizable profits. Its Q1 net income rose 41% year over year, resulting in a margin of 16.4%. Just four years ago in Q1 2022, the business posted a $45 million net loss.
It's understandable that by avoiding the costly overhead that comes with operating a network of physical bank branches, the company runs a leaner model. Its return on equity (ROE) was 29% during Q1. This is significantly higher than JPMorgan Chase, a dominant and scaled financial services entity, which reported an ROE of 19% last quarter.

Can this fintech stock be a long-term winner? Nu's financial performance has been exceptional. But the stock is under pressure. It has fallen 28% in 2026 (as of June 11), although it has climbed 61% in the past three years.
Chief Financial Officer Guilherme Lago, a seven-year company veteran, will step down on July 13. Nu's expected credit losses were up 76% year over year, which might be scaring the market. The stock was also downgraded by analysts earlier this month.
These are valid headwinds. But for long-term investors, it's hard not to be interested in this opportunity. Nu shares trade at a compelling forward price-to-earnings ratio of 16.1. This Latin American banking empire deserves a closer look.

Five years after Wegovy's FDA approval, the obesity drug market has evolved rapidly. Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly introduced GLP-1 pills this year and others like Structure Therapeutics and Zealand Pharma are trying to fight for market share.
The SpaceX (SPCX +19.17%) initial public offering (IPO) is finally here, and whether you invest in it directly or not, this historic event is likely to impact your portfolio. I say it's historic because it is expected to raise $75 billion for the company, the largest-ever initial public offering.
Whether you've sworn off the IPO, were the lucky recipient of IPO shares, or are planning to buy some as soon as you can, here's what you need to know about the bigger picture.
The markets could be volatile It's not just the size of the offering that's huge; the company's total value is expected to start at $1.8 trillion, and it could soar much higher on the first day of trading. A new stock of that size can't go by unnoticed.
Image source: Getty Images.
Prediction sites are already calling the IPO for over $2 trillion. Pre-IPO futures on crypto exchange Hyperliquid are predicting $2.1 trillion right now, although traders on Polymarket only give it a 5% chance of breaking through $3 trillion.
The S&P 500 has been down this week, and although the decline began with a positive jobs report last Friday, investors might be preparing their funds to buy SpaceX stock. Depending on what happens over the next few days, there could be ripples throughout the market.
It's going to be included in several indexes If you own exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the Nasdaq-100 or the Russell 1000, you might be buying SpaceX stock faster than you think. The Nasdaq and FTSE Russell changed their rules to include it sooner than existing regulations allowed, and it might be added to the Russell 1000 as early as five days from now. New rules might also expand its presence in the Nasdaq-100.
ETFs like the popular Invesco QQQ Trust, which tracks the Nasdaq-100, will have to reallocate their funds to reflect changes in the index.

$
160.88
Not only will these moves add SpaceX to the ETFs, but they could also impact SpaceX's price, as they have to buy so much stock to reflect the changes.
The Invesco ETF, for example, has $460 billion in assets under management. It's the second-most traded ETF on the market, which could add further volatility to the stock and to the market as a whole. It's a weighted index, with its top positions in Nvidia (8.7%), Apple (7.7%), and Microsoft (5.7%), and those stakes will look very different once SpaceX gets in.
Vanguard has three separate ETFs that track the Russell 1000: the Russell 1000 ETF, the Russell 100 Growth ETF, and the Russell 1000 Value ETF, and many other companies have similar index funds. All these ETFs will be buying SpaceX once it's included in the index.
It's not going to be included in the S&P 500 -- yet S&P Global, the company that owns the S&P 500, has declined to change its regulations to include SpaceX stock. To be included, stocks need to be on the market for at least one year and be profitable, in addition to other requirements.
That will provide some measure of stability for at least a year, when SpaceX stock might be eligible to join the broader index if it's profitable. It reported a $4.9 billion loss in 2025 and a $4.3 billion loss in the 2026 first quarter.
It's just another moment in stock market history These are short-term factors, although they could be significant over the next few days or weeks. If you're a long-term investor who's well-diversified among classes and categories, this IPO ultimately won't make a difference in your portfolio. If the SpaceX IPO does end up inducing heavy market volatility, the important thing is to remain calm and not panic sell.
It was a strange day to own a space stock. While SpaceX jumped about 19% in its first session as a public company, several of the smaller, already-public names in the sector went sharply in the other direction. As of this writing, shares of Rocket Lab (RKLB 10.91%), AST SpaceMobile (ASTS 15.62%), and Intuitive Machines (LUNR 13.12%) were all down meaningfully, even as the company they're so often compared to was being celebrated.
So, what happened?
One widely floated explanation is rotation. With retail demand for SpaceX shares running hot, the theory goes that some investors sold their existing space holdings to free up cash for an allocation in the debut. If that's the main driver, the drop says little about these businesses and a lot about a one-day scramble for shares.
But the move may also reflect something more durable: investors taking a harder look at how these companies stack up against a far larger, better-funded rival. Here's a closer look at the three names and whether the drop changes anything.
Image source: Getty Images.
1. Rocket Lab Rocket Lab fell more than 10% on Friday -- a notable drop but the mildest of the three -- and one that came on a day the company actually had good news. Rocket Lab said it will join the Nasdaq-100 index later this month -- a milestone that typically brings fresh demand from index funds.
Of the trio, Rocket Lab has the most established business. It runs an active small-rocket launch service and a growing space systems segment that builds satellites and spacecraft components, and its revenue rose about 63.5% year over year in the first quarter of 2026. It is also developing a larger rocket, Neutron, aimed at heavier payloads.

But the stock's valuation is difficult to justify. Rocket Lab still isn't profitable, and the stock trades at around 80 times sales even after the pullback.
2. AST SpaceMobile AST SpaceMobile took the hardest hit of the group, sliding more than 15% as of this writing. That fits its profile as the most speculative of the three. The company is building a network of satellites designed to beam broadband directly to ordinary smartphones. The vision is ambitious. But it is largely still just a vision.
AST's financials drive this point home. The company generated just $14.7 million in revenue in the first quarter, yet trades at a market value in the tens of billions and a price-to-sales ratio in the hundreds.

The company is burning cash as it builds out its constellation. It does notably hold more than $3 billion to fund the effort. It is targeting getting about 45 of its BlueBird satellites in orbit by the end of 2026.
There's an irony worth noting, too.
AST has three more satellites set to launch in mid-June -- aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. For all the talk of these companies competing with SpaceX, several still depend on it to reach orbit.
3. Intuitive Machines Intuitive Machines dropped about 13%. Unlike AST, though, this is a company with sizable revenue. Its first-quarter sales came in at about $187 million -- nearly triple the year-ago figure, helped by its acquisition of satellite builder Lanteris.
The lunar specialist also carries a backlog of about $1.1 billion, including NASA and national security work, giving it more visibility into future revenue than most of its peers. And it recently posted its first quarter of positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), marking a small but meaningful step toward profitability.

Still, the recent stretch hasn't been all good. The company announced a plan earlier this month to sell up to $500 million in new stock, a move that would dilute existing shareholders, and it was passed over for a set of NASA lunar-rover awards that went to competitors.
With a $4.3 billion market capitalization and just $187 million in first-quarter sales, the stock isn't cheap either.
So, is this a chance to buy the dip, or a signal to stay away?
If the move really was driven by investors shuffling money toward the SpaceX debut, then a one-day drop in unrelated businesses is mostly noise. But these stocks were richly valued before this week, and a high-flying growth stock tends to fall hardest when sentiment turns, regardless of the trigger. Rotation may have lit the match, but these stocks were arguably overdue for a correction.
Of the three, Rocket Lab looks like the most defensible business, with Intuitive Machines a more speculative bet on lunar and government work, and AST SpaceMobile the furthest from proving its model.
But none of these stocks got cheap enough on this drop to make them buys. I'd treat the sell-off as a reason to give these stocks a second look, not as a reason to buy them.
SpaceX had a successful IPO, as the company quickly reached a $2.1 trillion valuation. Wall Street assumes SpaceX to reach $226 billion in 2030 revenues, which I underline as unrealistic based on a segment-by-segment analysis. The current valuation relies on shaky earnings assumptions, making SPCX an overly risky investment.
The launch of Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone may have contributed significantly to America's declining birth rate, according to a new working paper published earlier this month by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).
The study found that smartphone adoption may explain a meaningful share of the sharp drop in U.S. fertility over the past two decades.
The findings were notable. In the first four years after the iPhone's release, regions with greater access to the device saw birth rates fall 4.5% to 8% more among ages 15 to 19 and 3.2% to 6.6% more among ages 20 to 24. The decline was steepest among younger Americans but appeared across every age group.
Even after adjusting for factors such as housing prices and urbanization, researchers still found a strong relationship between higher iPhone adoption and lower fertility.
Study coauthor Caitlin K. Myers told Fortune that births fell much faster in places where consumers could access the iPhone earlier.
"We had a baby-less recovery," Myers said, referring to the years after the 2008 financial crisis. "The economy recovered, and births didn't."
Digital Isolation And Economic PressureThe researchers said the trend may reflect broader behavioral shifts tied to smartphone use, including less in-person social interaction, reduced relationship formation and rising digital dependence.
Myers told Fortune she worries the decline could reflect a deeper social issue.
"I see these declines in births, and I'm wondering, like, are we okay?" she said. "People in their twenties, and more broadly, if the reason we're seeing this decline is because people are all depressed and alone and doom scrolling, I'm worried about us."
Why It MattersFalling fertility carries long-term economic consequences. A lower birth rate can shrink the future labor force, weaken consumer spending and leave fewer workers supporting a growing retiree population, increasing pressure on programs such as Social Security and Medicare.
The latest annual report from the Social Security Board of Trustees, released in June 2026, lowered its long-term U.S. fertility assumption to 1.75 births per woman, down from 1.9 previously.
Myers said more research is needed before drawing sweeping conclusions, but she believes the findings raise important questions about how technology may be reshaping social connection, family formation and long-term economic health.
