Use a needle to pierce the stock market bubble, the bubble economy getty Are we in a stock market bubble or not? Let’s tackle that question head-on, because it’s all we seem to be hearing about these days. I’ll put my cards on the table: We’re not in a bubble. I’m going to show you why I’m still bullish on stocks at these levels. Then we’re going to play overwrought bubble fears with a “cornerstone” fund that’s beaten stocks over just about every timeline but is still cheap (and yields a rich 8%, too). When it comes to stocks, the truth is, there’s a good reason why they keep rising: We’re in a booming economy. Of course, you might not feel that way—many communities across America are suffering. Income inequality, crime, corruption—it’s a mess out there. Those are all serious problems, to be sure. But just as the stock market is not the economy, the stock market is not society, either, and those problems can co-exist with a rising market. Where Earnings Go, Stocks FollowStocks are rising because their moves are tied to one thing: earnings. And earnings are soaring. Bloomberg recently reported on something we’ve been talking about for a while here at Contrarian Outlook and in my CEF Insider service: Earnings are growing as companies improve their profits through efficiency gains, some of which are driven by AI. In fact, the earnings beats we’re seeing come from across the economy, from companies as diverse as General Motors (GM), Coca-Cola (KO), Morgan Stanley (MS) and, of course, tech names like Broadcom (AVGO) and Lam Research (LRCX). While tech continues to be the top-performing sector, there’s good reason to expect that more and more gains will come from outside of tech, as new innovations spread from that sector into other parts of the economy. This doesn’t mean we should simply avoid tech and buy the rest of the market. After all, tech’s earnings gains are the strongest out there and will likely remain so, although financials are a close second. At a time like this, we want broad-based market exposure. But of course, as my CEF Insider members know, we do not want an index fund. Their paltry 1% yields are just plain unacceptable to us income investors. The 8% Dividend OpportunityInstead, we’re going with a closed-end fund (CEF) that invests in a broad range of S&P 500 stocks, but with a key difference: This one pays a rich 8% yield. That would be the Adams Diversified Equity Fund (ADX), which holds tech darlings like Broadcom, as well as top performers from other sectors, like JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM). Thanks to its well-crafted portfolio, ADX hasn’t just matched the stock market’s returns over the last decade—it’s beaten it. ADX Outperforms Ycharts This is why, at CEF Insider, we’ve been holding ADX for almost the entire time shown on this chart (and we would’ve held it for the entire time if CEF Insider had launched in 2015, rather than in 2017). This outperformance is great—but so is the dividend. ADX Dividend Ycharts ADX has yielded around 9.5% over the last decade, thanks to the huge special payouts management issued at year-end. But in 2024, the fund changed its distribution plans, going with a more evenly spread payout tied to the fund’s net asset value (NAV, or the value of its underlying portfolio). Now, ADX’s regular distributions are more consistent and reliable. The fund pays about 8% now, largely because the stock price is up over 13% in 2025 (as prices rise, yields fall). But its total return including dividends is 21.7% for the year, as of this writing, again far ahead of the S&P 500, at 16.6%. In other words, this fund has outperformed over the short and the long term. Yet it still trades at a discount to NAV. ADX Discount to NAV Ycharts ADX’s discount is now 8.3%, but it was over 10% at the start of the year (and was around 12% most of the time before that). With the fund’s high yield, market outperformance and smartly built portfolio, this discount is likely to disappear, especially as more money comes into stocks as bubble fears fade. If you buy ADX today, you can still lock in this discount, boosting your upside potential while also securing that healthy yield. Michael Foster is the Lead Research Analyst for Contrarian Outlook.

The market for obesity and diabetes treatments remains scorching hot, funneling billions in sales to Eli Lilly and fueling a bidding war over another drugmaker. Lilly said Thursday that its top-selling drugs, Mounjaro and Zepbound, brought in more than $10 billion combined during the recently completed third quarter. That made up over half of the drugmaker’s $17.6 billion in total sales. Separately, Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk announced plans to buy Metsera Inc. in a deal that could be worth up to $9 billion. That came more than a month after U.S. drugmaker Pfizer Inc. made a nearly $5 billion bid for Metsera, which has no drugs on the market but is developing several potential oral and injectable treatments. Subscribe to the Daily newsletter.Fast Company's trending stories delivered to you every day Popular treatments labeled GLP-1 receptor agonists are fueling the soaring sales and deal interest. They work by mimicking hormones in the gut and the brain to regulate appetite and feelings of fullness. But they don’t work for everyone and can produce side effects that include nausea and stomach pain. Supplies of the drugs have improved this year, and some insurance coverage is growing. That helps improve access to drugs that can cost around $500 a month without coverage. That can put them out of reach for many patients. The treatments are injectable drugs, but Novo and Lilly are also developing easier-to-take pill versions. U.S. sales of Lilly’s weight-loss treatment Zepbound nearly tripled, to $3.57 billion, in the third quarter. Meanwhile, revenue from the diabetes drug Mounjaro, which has been on the market longer, has doubled, to $6.52 billion, thanks to growth outside the U.S. Combined, the drugs have brought in nearly $25 billion in sales so far this year for Indianapolis-based Lilly. That surpasses the entire company’s revenue total from 2020. The drugs helped Eli Lilly and Co. record a $5.58 billion profit in the third quarter and deliver a better performance than Wall Street expected. Novo Nordisk said it will pay $56.50 in cash for each Metsera share and could pay an extra $21.25 if the company meets some drug development milestones. The drugmaker already has the obesity and diabetes treatments Wegovy and Ozempic on the market. That combined total of $77.75 more than doubles the closing price of Metsera shares on September 19, the last trading day before Pfizer made its offer. Metsera said Thursday that its board has determined that the new, unsolicited offer from Novo was superior, and Pfizer has four business days to negotiate adjustments to its offer. Pfizer called Novo’s offer “reckless and unprecedented” and an attempt by a drugmaker with a “dominant market position to suppress competition in violation of law by taking over an emerging American challenger.” Pfizer Inc. is known for the COVID-19 vaccine Comirnaty and the treatment Paxlovid, among other drugs. But the New York drugmaker decided to take another stab at obesity treatments months after ending development of its own drug. —By Tom Murphy, AP health writer AP Health Writer JoNel Aleccia contributed to this report.

Wall Street is staring at a $65 billion commitment from Meta Platforms, yet many analysts are openly confessing they don’t understand what they're seeing. The problem crystallized when Evercore ISI’s Mark Mahaney confessed Thursday on a Bloomberg podcast that he's "not super intelligent" enough to grasp Meta's vision. This isn't a simple lack of data; it’s an unprecedented knowledge gap on a game-changing technology. Investors following these analysts are flying blind on the biggest strategic pivot in Meta’s history. The Goal is Personal Superintelligence Meta’s $65 billion commitment must be viewed through the lens of its colossal user base: 3.48 billion monthly active users across the Family of Apps (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger). This user base represents nearly half the connected world. The investment signals a fundamental shift beyond dominating social media toward establishing AI infrastructure dominance. This vision is not just a smarter chatbot. The goal is personal superintelligence—a context-aware, seamless assistant integrated directly into our daily lives through everything from our smartphones, smart glasses, and future devices. This could revolutionize user interaction by offering ambient, proactive assistance, essentially rewriting the rules of human-technology engagement. The resulting engagement and monetization upside is potentially unfathomable, and that is the leverage Meta is buying with its investment. Crucially, Meta’s existing, narrow AI is already proving the concept at scale. For instance, AI-powered, end-to-end automated ad tools are currently driving $60 billion in annualized revenue. AI ranking improvements have pushed Reels to a $50 billion run-rate and increased Instagram video time spent by over 30% year-over-year. In terms of user adoption, more than a billion people already use Meta AI monthly. Superintelligence could supercharge these already impressive metrics. The Race and the Real Risk The strategic imperative behind Meta's $65 billion spend is not mitigating the uncertain timeline for monetization; rather, the central threat is the corporate AI arms race itself. The real risk is falling behind while competitors actively pursue platforms that could decouple Meta from its user base. Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are investing comparable, or even larger, sums into their own AI foundations. Google’s parent company, Alphabet, for example, is raising its projected capital spending to between $91 billion and $93 billion. Microsoft's investment in OpenAI and its integration of generative AI into Azure has driven significant cloud growth, outpacing rivals and demonstrating the immediate leverage of AI infrastructure. The competition is no longer about social media features. It is about owning the next generation of digital interface. Google’s Gemini-enabled Android phone and OpenAI’s AI-first browser are a shot across the bow of the Meta mothership. If successful, Meta’s core advertising revenue stream is structurally threatened. Wall Street’s current lack of insight is rooted in this fundamental complexity: they are focusing on short-term CapEx costs while overlooking the existential threat of user displacement in an AI-first world. Takeaway Meta's drive to create personal superintelligence represents a fundamental societal and business shift. For investors with a long-term horizon, the current misunderstanding among analysts is an anomaly: surface-level analysis is missing the point. Recognizing this evolution is crucial, as the real transformative potential behind the hype lies far beyond the noise of standard quarterly earnings calls.

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc., (NASDAQ: MYGN), a leader in molecular diagnostic testing and precision medicine, today announced a post-hoc analysis of the Precision Medicine in Mental Health Care (PRIME) study showed that treatment informed by the GeneSight® test led to faster initial remission and response in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Further, the post-hoc analysis showed that this benefit persisted over six months with no evidence of changing over time. “Every single day matters to someone suffering from depression; patients want to get back to feeling like themselves as quickly as possible. As a result, a long trial-and-error period with medication can be frustrating for both clinicians and patients,” said Dale Muzzey, chief scientific officer, Myriad Genetics. “This post-hoc analysis shows that treatment informed by the GeneSight test led to faster remission and response in patients with MDD – and this benefit lasted for at least six months.” The PRIME Care study, the largest pharmacogenomic randomized controlled trial in mental health, enrolled 1,944 U.S. Veterans with depression to test whether GeneSight results improved treatment outcomes. Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2022, it found patients whose clinicians had GeneSight results were significantly more likely to achieve remission over 24 weeks. The post-hoc analysis of the study results explored whether having access to the GeneSight test results increased the rate of remission and response over time and if the effect was persistent. Published in the Oct. 30, 2025 edition of Frontiers in Pharmacology, the new post-hoc analysis showed that patients who took the GeneSight test were at any given time during the 24-week study period relative to patients receiving usual care: 27% more likely to achieve remission from depression21% more likely to experience response (at least a 50% reduction in depressive symptoms) Myriad Genetics plans to submit these data to payers as part of its ongoing efforts to increase patient access to the GeneSight test and to help patients achieve remission from depression. About the PRIME Care Study & the post-hoc analysis The largest pharmacogenomic (PGx) randomized controlled trial (RCT) ever conducted in mental health, the PRIME Care Study included 1,944 veteran patients with MDD who were randomized to receive GeneSight results immediately (pharmacogenomic-guided group) or after 24 weeks (usual care group). The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) independently conducted and funded the study. Myriad Genetics provided the GeneSight tests for the study. PRIME Care met both of its prespecified primary outcomes: patients in the PGx-guided arm were less likely to be prescribed an antidepressant medication with a significant gene-drug interaction and were 28% more likely to achieve remission across the 24-week duration of the trial compared to patients in the usual care arm. The prespecified post-hoc analysis of the PRIME Care study included veteran patients who had sufficient data to be included in the post-hoc analysis, or 1,764 of the 1,944 veterans. The primary endpoints of this post-hoc analysis were the time of the first instance of remission (defined as PHQ-9 ≤5) and response (defined as ≥50% reduction from baseline PHQ-9 score). About the GeneSight® Test The GeneSight Psychotropic test from Myriad Genetics is the category-leading pharmacogenomic test for more than 60 medications commonly prescribed for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other psychiatric conditions. The GeneSight test can help inform clinicians about how a patient’s genes may impact how they metabolize and/or respond to certain psychiatric medications. It is designed to provide information that may help reduce the trial-and-error process that often takes place when patients are prescribed certain mental health medications.

Colgate-Palmolive (CL - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.91 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.89 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.91 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +2.25%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this consumer products maker would post earnings of $0.89 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.92, delivering a surprise of +3.37%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times. Colgate-Palmolive, which belongs to the Zacks Consumer Products - Staples industry, posted revenues of $5.13 billion for the quarter ended September 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.07%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $5.03 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Colgate-Palmolive shares have lost about 15.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 16%. What's Next for Colgate-Palmolive?While Colgate-Palmolive has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Colgate-Palmolive was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead.

The Zacks Fertilizers industry is challenged by elevated costs of key raw materials, partly due to the Russia-Ukraine war, which has put pressure on the margins of companies in this space. Weaker crop prices and higher costs are also likely to result in farmers reducing application rates, partly due to affordability issues, leading to weaker fertilizer demand. However, improved fertilizer prices augur well for the industry players. Fertilizer players such as Nutrien Ltd. (NTR - Free Report) , CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (CF - Free Report) and Yara International ASA (YARIY - Free Report) are worth a look, notwithstanding the near-term headwinds. About the Industry The Zacks Fertilizers industry comprises producers, distributors and marketers of crop nutrients for the global agriculture industry. Companies in this space offer nutrients such as phosphates (including diammonium phosphate, monoammonium phosphate and phosphoric acid), potash and nitrogen (including urea, ammonia and urea ammonium nitrate) fertilizers. They also provide other nitrogen products to help farmers maximize crop yield. Crop nutrients are essential to drive agricultural productivity and boost the natural fertility of the soil. Demand for these nutrients is being supported by the need to increase the production of grains to address rising food consumption globally. Moreover, the constant need of growers to nourish their crops, replenish nutrients in the soil following a harvest and boost yields to feed a growing global population drives the consumption of fertilizers. What's Shaping the Future of the Fertilizers Industry? Elevated Input Costs a Concern: Increased prices of major raw materials pose a headwind to the companies in this space. Prices of both sulfur and ammonia — key inputs for the production of phosphate — remain elevated. Supply disruptions from Russia amid the war with Ukraine contributed to the rise in prices of both sulfur and ammonia. Plant shutdowns and maintenance also led to a tight supply of these raw materials, which, coupled with strong demand, pushed up their prices. Rising natural gas prices, a key feedstock for nitrogen fertilizer, are also a concern. Higher raw material costs have led to an increase in production costs. As such, fertilizer makers are likely to face short-term margin pressure associated with higher input costs. Reduced Affordability to Dampen Fertilizer Demand: While farm income is projected to rise this year, growers face challenges from increased fertilizer prices, higher input and other costs and lower crop commodity prices. Escalating costs are likely to result in farmers reducing fertilizer applications or switching to less fertilizer-intensive crops, leading to softer demand. Per the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), net farm income is projected to climb 40.7% year over year to $179.8 billion this year, driven by a significant increase in government payments. However, this reflects a decline from USDA’s February 2025 projection of $180.1 billion. Also, farmers face challenges from lower expected crop receipts in 2025. USDA sees crop cash receipts to decline 2.5% year over year in 2025 due to lower prices for most crops. Prices of corn, soybean and wheat have declined from the multi-year highs reached in 2022, and remain lower this year due to oversupply. Higher Fertilizer Prices Augur Well: Prices of phosphate and potash retreated in the back half of 2022 from their peak levels attained in the first half, impacted by the Russia-Ukraine war and disruptions due to the sanctions in Belarus. Global nitrogen prices also declined due to higher global supply, driven by increased global operating rates resulting from lower global energy costs. Prices remain depressed in 2023 and 2024, weighing on the profitability of fertilizer companies. On a positive note, strong demand and supply tightness have led to an uptick in fertilizer prices this year, with phosphate prices seeing a notable increase. Higher fertilizer prices are expected to drive top-line and margin expansion for companies in this space over the near term. Zacks Industry Rank Reflects Downbeat Prospects The Zacks Fertilizers industry is part of the broader Zacks Basic Materials sector. It carries a Zacks Industry Rank #207, which places it in the bottom 15% of more than 250 Zacks industries. The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, which is basically the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates a bleak near term. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

The industry has gained 13.5% over this period against the S&P 500’s rise of 22.7% and the broader sector’s increase of 8%. One-Year Price Performance Industry's Current Valuation On the basis of the trailing 12-month enterprise value-to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) ratio, which is a commonly used multiple for valuing fertilizer stocks, the industry is currently trading at 5.55X compared with the S&P 500’s 19.18X and the sector’s 13.91X. In the past five years, the industry has traded as high as 18.05X and as low as 4.55X, with a median of 10.4X, as the chart below shows. Enterprise Value/EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) Ratio Enterprise Value/EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) Ratio 3 Fertilizer Stocks to Keep a Close Eye on Nutrien: Canada-based Nutrien is a leading provider of crop inputs and services.

Cost and operational efficiency initiatives are also expected to aid the company’s performance. NTR remains focused on lowering the cost of production in the potash business. The company has announced several strategic actions to reduce its controllable costs and boost free cash flow. Nutrien currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). NTR has expected earnings growth of 31.4% for 2025. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 earnings has been revised 5.1% upward over the past 60 days. It also has an expected long-term earnings per share growth rate of 14.5%. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. Price and Consensus: NTR CF Industries: Illinois-based CF Industries is a leading global manufacturer of nitrogen and hydrogen products for fertilizer, clean energy, emissions reduction and other industrial applications. It is gaining from higher nitrogen fertilizer demand in the major markets such as North America, Brazil and India. CF is seeing higher nitrogen demand for industrial uses in North America. CF remains committed to boosting shareholders’ value by leveraging strong cash flows. The company is also taking action to de-leverage its balance sheet. CF Industries, currently with a Zacks Rank #3, has an expected earnings growth rate of 23.7% for 2025. CF’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters at an average of 25.3%. Price and Consensus: CFYara International: Norway-based Yara International is a leading global producer and supplier of mineral fertilizers. It has industry-leading experience in ammonia development, production, operations and distribution. A favorable nitrogen demand environment bodes well for YARIY. Cost reductions and actions to strengthen the balance sheet are expected to boost the company’s profitability and cash flows. YARIY also remains focused on rewarding its shareholders by leveraging strong cash flows. Yara International presently has a Zacks Rank #3. It has an expected earnings growth rate of 149.3% for 2025. YARIY has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of roughly 58.4%, on average. Price and Consensus: YARIY

SummaryCompaniesAnanym redoubles push to persuade LKQ to sell European businessHedge fund says there are buyers interested in the European businessProceeds from a sale could be used to reduce leverage, buy back stockNEW YORK, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Ananym Capital has intensified its call for auto-parts supplier LKQ (LKQ.O), opens new tab to sell its European business, stressing that there are interested buyers and that the proceeds could be used to buy back shares, according to a letter to LKQ's board on Friday that was seen by Reuters. The letter, following close on the heels of the company's third-quarter earnings report the day before, pressed the activist hedge fund's point that keeping the European and North American businesses together makes little sense. Sign up here. "While management continues to pursue the arduous task of trying to integrate the disparate collection of businesses that comprise the EU business, LKQ continues to suffer from a substantial sum-of-the-parts discount and to dramatically lag its peers in share price performance," the hedge fund wrote, opens new tab. A representative for LKQ was not immediately available to comment. On Thursday's earnings call with analysts, CEO Justin Jude said: "The challenges in Europe affect the entire industry but LKQ excels in such environments, as shown by our own success in North America. Having integrated businesses in tough settings before, I am confident we can achieve similar results in Europe." The strong North America performance powered a more than 5% rise in LKQ's stock during Thursday's session, but its close at $31.16 left it down more than 16% for the past 12 months. Ananym's letter noted that the total return on stock in LKQ, which has a market value of $8 billion, has lagged its proxy peers by 33% over the last 12 months, by 113% over the last five years, and by 253% over the last decade. It added that, instead of trying to integrate 20 ERP software systems across 900 locations in 18 different countries in Europe, management should talk to potential buyers who could handle the integration and free up LKQ executives to concentrate on running its "crown jewel NA (North America) collision business." Management could use the proceeds from selling the European business to reduce leverage and buy back shares, which would create more benefits for shareholders than trying to run the European business in the coming years, the hedge fund said. Ananym has been holding discussions with Chicago-headquartered LKQ in recent months and has been largely complimentary of the company's CEO, Justin Jude, who was named to the position in July 2024. But in late summer, the hedge fund stepped up its push for a separation or sale of the European business after disappointing second-quarter earnings, when investors pushed the stock price down more than 20%. The company has taken steps to simplify its portfolio, and in August announced the sale of its self-service segment to private-equity firm Pacific Avenue Capital Partners. Ananym was founded last year by Charlie Penner, the architect of a massive three-board-seat victory at Exxon Mobil (XOM.N), opens new tab in 2021, and former P2 partner Alex Silver.

These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices.

Order strengthens growing partnership to deploy long-duration energy storage across multiple markets October 31, 2025 09:10 ET \| Source: Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. PITTSBURGH, Oct. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOSE) ("Eos" or the “Company”), an American energy company and the leading innovator in designing, sourcing, manufacturing, and providing zinc-based battery energy storage systems (BESS) and Frontier Power Ltd. (“Frontier”), a leading UK-based energy developer, today announced a strategic 228 megawatt-hour (MWh) order to deploy Eos Z3™ energy storage systems across Frontier’s expanding portfolio of storage and grid-reliability projects. The 228 MWh order – the first to be converted under the companies’ 5 GWh framework agreement announced in April 2025 – marks a significant milestone in a growing partnership focused on scaling alternative, long-duration energy storage to strengthen grid reliability across multiple markets. “This order reflects continued confidence in Eos’ zinc technology and the strength of our partnership with Frontier,” said Nathan Kroeker, Eos Chief Commercial Officer. “Together, we’re demonstrating that long-duration storage is ready to scale and play a critical role in delivering reliable dispatchable power.” Frontier will deploy Eos’ Z3™ energy storage systems, featuring the Company’s proprietary battery management system, software, controls and analytics platform – DawnOS™ – to validate performance and reliability in diverse grid environments. This provides a unique opportunity to showcase Eos’ technology ahead of Frontier’s upcoming projects under Ofgem’s Cap-and-Floor program. Frontier recently advanced 11 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of long-duration storage projects to the second round of the program, all incorporating Eos’ technology and more than double the original commitment. This milestone highlights the growing market demand for 8-hour-plus storage and reinforces confidence in the companies’ joint ability to deliver commercially viable, large-scale solutions. “Our partnership with Eos goes beyond a single project – it’s about building a platform for long-duration storage at scale,” said Humza Malik, Frontier Chief Executive Officer. “Together, we’re demonstrating how innovative, safe, and sustainable zinc technology can support renewable growth and deliver dependable, flexible power for the grid of the future.” Eos’ Z3™ technology builds on the company’s proven zinc-based chemistry, offering enhanced energy density, extended duration, and a safe, non-flammable solution ideal for long-life, grid-scale applications. As the partnership grows, Eos and Frontier are positioned to accelerate deployment of long-duration energy storage across key international markets, supporting renewable integration, grid stability, and global energy security. The announcement coincides with the Company also achieving its final cash receipt milestone previously agreed upon between Eos and an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management LP (Cerberus) as part of Cerberus’s strategic investment in the Company. No additional preferred stock or warrants will be issued to Cerberus at this time. About Eos Energy Enterprises Eos is accelerating the shift to American energy independence with positively ingenious solutions that transform how the world stores power. The Company’s BESS features the innovative Znyth™ technology, a proven chemistry with readily available non-precious earth components, that is the pre-eminent safe, non-flammable, secure, stable, and scalable alternative to conventional lithium-ion technology. The Company’s BESS is ideal for utility-scale, microgrid, commercial, and industrial long-duration energy storage applications (i.e., 4 to 16+ hours) and provides customers with significant operational flexibility to cost effectively address current and future increased grid demand and complexity.

Meta Platforms (META) stock fell 11.3% in a single day after investors reacted negatively to the company’s plans to meaningfully increase capital spending next year to support its growing AI compute needs. A photograph taken during the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos on January 19, 2025, shows the logo of Meta, the US company that owns and operates Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp. (Photo by Fabrice COFFRINI / AFP) (Photo by FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images We believe that the stock appears to be fairly valued right now, although past patterns indicate you could gain by purchasing when prices drop. Consider the following information: Size: Meta Platforms is valued at $1.7 Trillion, with $189 Billion in revenue, and is currently trading at $666.47.Fundamentals: Revenue growth over the last 12 months is at 21.3%, with an operating margin of 43.2%.Liquidity: It has a Debt to Equity ratio of 0.03 and a Cash to Assets ratio of 0.15.Valuation: The stock of Meta Platforms is presently trading at a P/E multiple of 28.7 and a P/EBIT multiple of 19.7.It has shown a median return of 74.5% within a year after significant drops since 2010. Refer to META Dip Buy Analysis.While we prefer to purchase on dips when the fundamentals align – for META, see Buy or Sell META Stock – we remain cautious about catching falling knives. Specifically, it is essential to consider if circumstances worsen, and META declines by another 20-30% to $467 levels, would we be able to retain the stock? What is the worst-case scenario? We refer to it as downturn resilience. It turns out that the stock has performed worse than the S&P 500 index during various economic recessions. We assess this by evaluating (a) the magnitude of the stock's decline and (b) the speed of its recovery. Investing in a single stock can be risky, but there is significant value in a broader, diversified strategy that we embrace with the Trefis High Quality Portfolio. This is one approach to analyze stocks. The Trefis High Quality Portfolio assesses a lot more and aims to mitigate stock-specific risk while providing upside potential. Below are the specifics, but first, as a brief overview: META offers products that allow individuals to connect and share through devices, including mobile phones, PCs, VR headsets, wearables, and augmented reality, facilitating connection anytime and anywhere. 2022 Inflation Shock META stock declined 76.7% from a high of $382.18 on 7 September 2021 to $88.91 on 3 November 2022, compared to a peak-to-trough decrease of 25.4% for the S&P 500.However, the stock fully regained its pre-Crisis peak by 19 January 2024.Since then, the stock rose to a high of $790.00 on 12 August 2025 and is currently valued at $666.47.Inflation Shock Trefis 2020 Covid Pandemic META stock fell 34.6% from a peak of $223.23 on 29 January 2020 to $146.01 on 16 March 2020, compared to a peak-to-trough decline of 33.9% for the S&P 500.However, the stock completely recovered to its pre-Crisis height by 20 May 2020.2020 Trefis 2018 Correction META stock declined 43.0% from a peak of $217.50 on 25 July 2018 to $124.06 on 24 December 2018, compared to a peak-to-trough decrease of 19.8% for the S&P 500.However, the stock fully returned to its pre-Crisis peak by 9 January 2020.2018 Trefis It is important to remain aware of how low META could potentially fall during a recession. Additionally, you should assess how the stock performed when evaluated against the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, which features a collection of 30 stocks and has a proven history of comfortably outperforming its benchmark that incorporates all three — the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices. Why does this occur? Collectively, HQ Portfolio stocks have delivered superior returns with lower risk compared to the benchmark index; they present less volatility, as evidenced in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) is scheduled to announce its earnings on Monday, November 3, 2025. Growth is expected to be underpinned by accelerating adoption of its AI platform, rising enterprise demand, and deeper commercial partnerships that are broadening the company’s industry footprint. Continued strength in government contracts is also likely to drive performance. The Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR) stock is displayed on a mobile phone with Palantir in the background in this photo illustration in Brussels, Belgium, on August 6, 2025. (Photo by Jonathan Raa/NurPhoto via Getty Images) NurPhoto via Getty Images The firm currently has a market capitalization of $460 billion. Over the past twelve months, revenue was $3.4 billion, and the company reported operational profit with $570 million in operating profits and a net income of $763 million. While how the stock reacts after the earnings report will depend on how the results and future outlook compare to investor expectations, analyzing past results can be beneficial if you are a trader focused on events. This can be done in two ways: either comprehend the historical probabilities and prepare yourself ahead of the earnings announcement, or assess the relationship between immediate and medium-term returns following earnings and make an investment one day after the announcement. View earnings reaction history of all stocks Investing in a single stock can be risky, but adopting a wider, diversified strategy as we do with the Trefis High Quality Portfolio provides significant value. Additionally, think about what the long-term performance of your portfolio could be if you allocated 10% to commodities, 10% to gold, and 2% to crypto alongside equities. Palantir Technologies' Historical Chances of Positive Post-Earnings Return Here are some insights into one-day (1D) returns following earnings: Over the past five years, 20 earnings data points have been recorded, with 11 showing positive and 9 showing negative one-day (1D) returns. Overall, positive 1D returns were observed about 55% of the time.This percentage notably rises to 67% if we analyze data from the last 3 years instead of 5.The median of the 11 positive returns = 20%, while the median of the 9 negative returns = -13%More data about the observed 5-Day (5D) and 21-Day (21D) returns post earnings is summarized along with the statistics in the table below. Returns Trefis Relationship Between 1D, 5D, and 21D Historical Returns A relatively less risky approach (though ineffective if the correlation is weak) is to understand the relationship between short-term and medium-term returns after earnings, identify a pair with the strongest correlation, and execute the appropriate trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D exhibit the highest correlation, a trader could position themselves “long” for the next 5 days following a positive 1D post-earnings return. Below is some correlation data based on a 5-year and a 3-year (more recent) history. Please note that the correlation 1D_5D refers to the link between 1D post-earnings returns and the following 5D returns. Relationship Between Returns Trefis If you’re looking for potential upside with a smoother experience than investing in a single stock like PLTR, consider the Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio. This collection of 30 stocks has a history of successfully outperforming its benchmark, which includes the three—S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices. What accounts for this? Collectively, HQ Portfolio stocks have yielded superior returns with reduced risk compared to the benchmark index, creating a smoother investment journey, as demonstrated by HQ Portfolio performance metrics.

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - AUGUST 2: A Chipotle logo is displayed outside their restaurant on August 2, 2025 in San Diego, California. (Photo by Kevin Carter/Getty Images) Getty Images Chipotle Mexican Grill stock (NYSE: CMG) crashed 18% yesterday, October 30, 2025, after the company reported its Q3 2025 earnings. For the third time this year, Chipotle cut its sales forecast due to weaker-than-expected comparable sales. Management attributed this disappointing performance to persistent macroeconomic pressures and a notable pullback in spending from its core customers, particularly the 25-to-35 age group. This single-day drop has extended CMG’s recent decline to 23.2% in under a month (falling from $42.36 on 10/21/2025 to a current price of $32.53). Given this sharp correction, the central question for investors is: Should you buy this dip? Buying a stock after a decline is a valid strategy, provided the company is a quality business with a history of bouncing back. It turns out that CMG stock meets basic quality criteria, having generated a median return of 94% over one year, and a peak return of 102% after experiencing sharp declines (>30% in 30 days) historically. For a brief overview, CMG offers fast-casual Mexican food with around 3,000 locations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and other parts of Europe since 1993. For insights regarding stock fundamentals and evaluations: Read Buy or Sell Chipotle Mexican Grill Stock to gain a comprehensive view. That being said, if you seek an upside with less volatility than holding an individual stock like CMG, consider the High Quality Portfolio. It has comfortably outperformed its benchmark—a combination of the S&P 500, Russell, and S&P MidCap indexes—and has achieved returns exceeding 105% since its inception. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.

CMG Basic Financial Quality Checks Trefis Investing in a single stock without comprehensive analysis can be risky. Consider the Trefis Reinforced Value (RV) Portfolio, which has outperformed its all-cap stocks benchmark (combination of the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 benchmark indices) to produce strong returns for investors. Why is that? The quarterly rebalanced mix of large-, mid-, and small-cap RV Portfolio stocks provided a responsive way to make the most of upbeat market conditions while limiting losses when markets head south, as detailed in RV Portfolio performance metrics.

Charter Communications (CHTR - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $8.34 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $9.32 per share. This compares to earnings of $8.82 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -10.52%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this cable provider would post earnings of $10.05 per share when it actually produced earnings of $9.18, delivering a surprise of -8.66%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once. Charter, which belongs to the Zacks Cable Television industry, posted revenues of $13.67 billion for the quarter ended September 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.52%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $13.8 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Charter shares have lost about 32.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 16%. What's Next for Charter?While Charter has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook.

Key Takeaways LyondellBasell posted adjusted EPS of $1.01, topping estimates but down from $1.91 a year ago.Improved U.S. olefins margins and higher polyethylene demand aided performance.LYB expects seasonal softness and higher feedstock costs to pressure Q4 results. LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (LYB - Free Report) recorded a loss of $890 million or $2.77 per share. This compares unfavorably with a profit of $573 million or $1.75 per share reported a year ago. Barring one-time items, LYB posted adjusted earnings of $1.01 per share, down from the year-ago quarter's figure of $1.91. It topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 80 cents. The company’s net sales in the reported quarter were $7,727 million, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7,493.9 million. Net sales fell around 10% from $8,604 million in the prior-year quarter. LYB saw improved profitability in the Olefins & Polyolefins — Americas segment, backed by higher olefins margins and increased sales volumes. Sales volumes were supported by higher domestic demand for polyethylene. LyondellBasell’s Segment HighlightsIn the reported quarter, the Olefins & Polyolefins — Americas segment's revenues declined around 13% year over year to $2,606 million. The figure beat the consensus estimate of $2,531 million. Similarly, Olefins & Polyolefins — Europe, Asia, the international segment revenues declined 8% year over year to $2,587 million. It topped the consensus estimate of $2,293 million. In the Intermediates and Derivatives segment sales were $2,343 million, a decline of roughly 13% year over year, beating the consensus estimate of $2,325 million.

At the end of the quarter, LYB had $1.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents, along with $6.5 billion in total available liquidity. LYB’s OutlookIn the fourth quarter, LyondellBasell anticipates reduced operating rates and year-end seasonality to impact results across most of its businesses. Increased natural gas and feedstock costs are expected to put pressure on integrated polyolefins margins in North America. LYB also sees soft industrial and consumer demand to persist in Europe. While Industry downtime aided oxyfuels margins during October, seasonally higher costs for feedstocks and reduced octane values are expected to pressure margins for the balance of the fourth quarter. Cost reduction initiatives are also forecast to offset some of the pricing pressures in Advanced Polymer Solutions. LYB remains on track with its Cash Improvement Plan, which is expected to deliver on a $600 million target for 2025 and at least $1.1 billion by the end of next year. LYB’s Price PerformanceShares of LyondellBasell have lost 47.8% in the past year compared with the Zacks Chemicals Diversified industry’s 27.4% decline.

See the supplemental information of this release for further information regarding the Company's non-GAAP measures including reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Revenue Sales in the quarter increased 6.1% compared to the third quarter of 2024. When normalizing for the impact of foreign currency exchange, sales on a daily, constant currency basis increased 5.4% compared to the third quarter of 2024. In the High-Touch Solutions - N.A. segment, sales were up 3.4% on both a daily and constant currency basis compared to the third quarter of 2024. Results for the segment were driven by volume growth and improving price contribution as tariff costs are passed. In the Endless Assortment segment, sales were up 18.2%, or 14.6% on a daily, constant currency basis, compared to the third quarter of 2024. Growth for the segment was driven by strong performance at both MonotaRO and Zoro. Gross Profit Margin Gross profit margin was 38.6% in the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of 60 basis points from the third quarter of 2024. In the High-Touch Solutions - N.A. segment, gross profit margin was 41.1%, a 50 basis point decrease compared to the prior year quarter as tariff-related inflation caused unfavorable price / cost timing and last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory valuation headwinds. In the Endless Assortment segment, gross profit margin increased by 60 basis points from the third quarter of 2024 due to improvement across the segment. Earnings For the third quarter of 2025, total Company reported operating earnings were $511 million, down 25.5% compared to the third quarter of 2024. Reported operating margin was 11.0%, a 460 basis point decrease compared to the third quarter of 2024. On an adjusted basis, operating earnings for the quarter were $707 million, up 3.1% compared to the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted operating margin was 15.2%, a 40 basis point decrease compared to the third quarter of 2024. This decrease in adjusted operating margin was driven by unfavorable gross margin in High-Touch Solutions - N.A., which was partially offset by expense leverage in Endless Assortment. These adjusted results for the quarter exclude the asset impairment loss from the planned divestiture of the Cromwell business, along with other expenses related to the intended exit from the U.K. market incurred in the current year period. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2025 were $6.12 on a reported basis, down 38.0% compared to the third quarter of 2024. On an adjusted basis, diluted EPS was $10.21, up 3.4% compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase was driven primarily by sales growth and fewer shares outstanding. Tax Rate For the third quarter of 2025, the effective tax rate was 34.7%, compared to 24.8% in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the loss from the planned divestiture of the Cromwell business and intended exit from the U.K. market, for which there are no corresponding tax benefits. On an adjusted basis, the effective tax rate was 24.8% in both periods. Cash Flow During the third quarter of 2025, the Company generated $597 million of cash flow from operating activities. The Company invested $258 million in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $339 million. During the quarter, the Company returned $399 million to Grainger shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to assist investors in understanding financial results and assessing future performance as they provide a better baseline for analyzing the ongoing performance of its business by excluding items that may not be indicative of core operating results. Basis of presentation The Company has a controlling ownership interest in MonotaRO, which is part of our Endless Assortment segment. MonotaRO's results are fully consolidated, reflected in U.S. GAAP, and reported one-month in arrears. Results will differ from MonotaRO's externally reported financials which follow Japanese GAAP. Adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A, adjusted operating earnings, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted EPS Exclude certain non-recurring items, like restructuring charges, asset impairments, gains and losses associated with business divestitures and other non-recurring, infrequent or unusual gains and losses (together referred to as "non-GAAP adjustments"), from the Company's most directly comparable reported U.S. GAAP figures (reported gross profit, SG&A, operating earnings, net earnings and EPS). The Company believes these non-GAAP adjustments provide meaningful information to assist investors in understanding financial results and assessing future performance as they provide a better baseline for analyzing the ongoing performance of its business by excluding items that may not be indicative of core operating results. Free cash flow (FCF) Calculated using total cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company believes the presentation of FCF allows investors to evaluate the capacity of the Company's operations to generate free cash flow. Daily sales Refers to sales for the period divided by the number of U.S. selling days for the period. Daily, constant currency sales Refers to daily sales adjusted for changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Daily, organic constant currency sales Refers to daily sales excluding the sales of certain divested or closed businesses in the comparable prior year period post date of divestiture or closure and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange Calculated by dividing current period local currency daily sales by current period average exchange rate and subtracting the current period local currency daily sales divided by the prior period average exchange rate. U.S. selling days: 2024: Q1-64, Q2-64, Q3-64, Q4-64, FY-256 2025: Q1-63, Q2-64, Q3-64, Q4-64, FY-255 2026: Q1-63, Q2-64, Q3-64, Q4-64, FY-255 As non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these measures with other companies' non-GAAP measures having the same or similar names. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported results. These non-GAAP measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of operations that, when viewed with GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of the business. This press release also includes certain non-GAAP forward-looking information. The Company believes that a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking information to the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP cannot be made available without unreasonable efforts. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures would require the Company to predict the timing and likelihood of future restructurings, asset impairments, and other charges. Neither of these forward-looking measures, nor their probable significance, can be quantified with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures is not provided. The reconciliations provided below reconcile GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures used in this release: daily sales; daily, constant currency sales; and free cash flow.

One of the worst stocks on Wall Street that hardly anybody talked about yesterday was Wolfspeed Inc (NYSE:WOLF), which dropped 18.2% to close at $26.16. The chipmaker reported worse-than-expected fiscal first-quarter revenue, and also issued a dismal fiscal second-quarter revenue outlook. This marked the company's first quarterly report since it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 30, but options traders weren't buying it. WOLF made an unusual appearance on Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White's list of equities that attracted the highest options volume over the past two weeks. In the last 10 days, 7,963,705 puts and a meager 18,103 calls exchanged hands. On Oct. 24, a block of 120,000 weekly 10/25 2.50-strike puts were sold to open, followed not far behind by the 1.50-strike in the same weekly series. The stock obviously traded above the sold strikes. After reopening on Sept. 30 at $18, the shares charged as high as $36.53 by Oct. 9, though they have drifted lower since. Puts have been popular for some time. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), WOLF sports a 50-day put/call volume ratio of 4.97.

For investors seeking momentum, the Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLI - Free Report) is probably on the radar now. The fund just hit a 52-week high and is up 39.2% from its 52-week low price of $112.75 per share. But are there more gains in store for this ETF? Let’s take a quick look at the fund and its near-term outlook to get a better sense of where it might head. XLI in FocusThe underlying Industrial Select Sector Index includes companies from the following industries: industrial conglomerates; aerospace & defense; machinery; air freight & logistics; road & rail; commercial services & supplies; electrical equipment; construction & engineering; building products; airlines; and trading companies & distributors. The product charges 8 basis points (bps) in annual fees (See: All Industrials ETFs here). Why the Move?By a 10-2 vote, the Federal Reserve recently cut interest rates by a quarter percentage point for the second consecutive meeting this year, bringing its benchmark rate down to a range of 3.75%–4.00% (per CNBC). The decision, though taken amid limited economic data due to the ongoing government shutdown, reflects the central bank’s intention to bolster economic growth and strengthen the labor market.At the same time, hopes of easing U.S.–China trade tensions have lifted investor sentiment. Lower rates and the trade truce optimism are great for industrials ETFs like XLI. More Gains Ahead?XLI may continue its strong performance in the near term, with a positive weighted alpha of 16.97 (as per Barchart.com), which suggests a further rally.

8am: Futures in high spirits US stock futures were mostly higher ahead of the open after earnings from Amazon lifted spirits after Thursday's losses due to uncertainty about the future policy of the Federal Reserve after its chair, Jerome Powell, suggested a cut in December, to follow this week’s, was not a foregone conclusion. The Nasdaq was poised to take the lead, with futures suggesting a 1.3% gain. S&P 500 Futures rose 0.8%, while those for the Dow were 0.1%. Amazon's shares jumped over 12% in pre-market trading after it reported earnings that were better than expected, driven by surging demand for its cloud computing services. Revenue at Amazon Web Services (AWS) jumped 20% to $33 billion in the third quarter, continuing an evident trend in Microsoft and Google's earnings reports. “The e-commerce division may have by far the bigger public profile, but it’s the cloud services AWS division which is the real engine of Amazon’s growth, and it’s this which sparked the share price into life overnight," commented AJ Bell's Russ Mould. “Demand for computing power linked to AI is showing no signs of letting up, and that is driving significant growth for AWS, with third-quarter numbers helping to ease fears that this business was losing ground to rival operators. For other global markets, it's a mixed picture as the week and October draw to a close. The FTSE 100 fell 0.3% in morning trading in London, while Frankfurt's Dax has fallen 0.2% and the Paris CAC 40 is 0.1% off the pace. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 bucked the trend in Asia, closing over 2% higher, while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong fell 1.4% and Shanghai's SSE Composite ended 0.8% lower. The BSE Sensex in Mumbai fell 0.6% and Sydney's ASX 200 retraced earlier losses to end just a few points down. "European markets are on the back foot in early trade, with the FTSE 100 leading the declines as we close out a week that has seen major volatility from a plethora of key announcements," commented Scope Markets' Joshua Mahony. "Coming off the back of yesterday’s ECB rate pause, this morning saw the latest inflation release dominate as core CPI rose unexpectedly to 2.4%.

Citi has reiterated its buy rating on BP PLC (LSE:BP.) after the company released more details about its Bumerangue oil discovery offshore Brazil, which the bank believes could prove transformational. The discovery, first announced in July, lies in the Campos Basin and is now thought to contain several billion barrels of light oil and condensate, according to Citi’s interpretation of the new geological data. The bank said BP’s latest technical disclosures support the view that Bumerangue could be a “multi-billion barrel liquids discovery,” with the potential to materially reshape the group’s upstream portfolio. Crucially, BP holds 100% ownership of the block, giving it full control over development decisions and any future partnerships. Citi described that combination of scale and equity as “a rare and highly attractive proposition” among current global discoveries. While the bank cautioned that appraisal drilling and commercial testing will be needed to confirm recoverable volumes, it said the initial results reinforce BP’s strategy of focusing on higher-margin, lower-carbon barrels in regions with fiscal stability and existing infrastructure. Citi kept its 'buy' rating and 475p price target, saying Bumerangue strengthens BP’s medium-term growth story at a time when investor sentiment toward traditional exploration remains subdued.
