CompaniesNEW DELHI, July 20 (Reuters) - India's Hindustan Petroleum Corp (HPCL.NS), opens new tab on Monday invited liquefied natural gas (LNG) suppliers, producers and traders to register to supply LNG on a spot and long-term basis, according to a notice on its website.
HPCL operates an LNG import and regassification facility at Chhara in western India with annual capacity of 5 million metric tons.

Apart from spot purchases, HPCL is looking to import up to 1 million tons per year of LNG for 10 to 15 years, sources with knowledge of the matter said.
HPCL did not respond immediately to an emailed request for comment.
India wants to raise the share of gas in its energy mix to 15% from about 6% currently to cut its carbon footprint.
HPCL also has a 10-year LNG import deal with Abu Dhabi National Oil Co for 500,000 tons of LNG every year from 2028. The company also buys LNG through spot tenders.

Pre-Market Stock Futures: Futures are trading higher as we get ready to start another action-packed week of second-quarter earnings results. This comes after a volatile week of trading and a Friday close that saw all major indices finish lower. Ongoing rotation out of semiconductor stocks, worries over an escalation of the war with Iran, a rekindling of inflation concerns, and the possibility of an interest rate increase at some point this year all weighed on investors. When the final bell rang, the Nasdaq once again was the big loser, closing down 1.40% at 25,520, while the S&P 500 finished the week lower by 1.01% on Friday at 7,457. The Dow Jones Industrial closed at 52,146, down 0.77% on the day, while the small-cap Russell 2000 closed at 2,962, down 0.42%.
Treasury Bonds: Yields were mixed across the Treasury curve on Friday, with buyers targeting the belly and long-end, while sellers sold off the shorter maturities. The 30-year-long bond finished the session at 5.07%, while the benchmark 10-year note closed at 4.55%. Traders cited the tech sell-off, geopolitical worries, and the strong June import prices report as factors on Friday.
Oil and Gas: The song remains the same for the energy complex, as buyers once again bid up the prices of the two oil benchmarks. Concerns over supply disruption as the war escalates, drone strikes on regional infrastructure suspending crude loadings at Iraq’s Basra terminal, and the increase in the geopolitical premium are all among the tailwinds for the buyers on Friday. When the final bell rang, Brent Crude finished the day at $88.12, up 4.62%, while West Texas Intermediate was last seen at $82.47, higher by 4.46%. Natural gas closed Friday at $2.92, up 2.20%.
Gold: After a very difficult week for the precious metals complex, investors received a strong finish on Friday. Traders cited softer consumer sentiment readings and a weaker dollar as reasons for the uptick. Gold closed trading at $4,017, up 1.05%, while Silver ended the day at $55.84, up 0.78%.
Crypto: Crypto markets slid on Friday amid the broad risk-off sentiment, as a sharp sell-off in global semiconductor stocks spilled over into digital assets and was further fueled by rising U.S.-Iran tensions. Bitcoin dropped 1.2%, slipping below $63,000, while Ethereum led major coin losses, falling roughly 4% to around $1,850. The downturn triggered nearly $400 million in crypto liquidations over the past 24 hours, with long positions bearing the brunt of the pain. At 8 AM EDT, Bitcoin traded at $64,817, while Ethereum traded at $1,890.

In 1982, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted Rule 10b-18, providing companies with a safe harbor for qualifying share repurchases. Since then, publicly traded companies have been repurchasing their own shares in order to consolidate ownership and boost earnings per share (EPS). But for some firms, the timing of their stock buybacks indicates that management views the current share price as undervalued.
This year, companies are on a record-setting pace.
Get Dollar Tree alerts:
According to Bloomberg, during the first four months of 2026, S&P 500 companies announced plans to repurchase $665 billion worth of shares, the highest total ever recorded in that same timeframe. And, based on historical rates, analysts now forecast authorized repurchases to reach $1.55 trillion for the full year.
Participating in that shopping spree are three companies that have recently announced a collective $24.5 billion in new, replenished, or increased share repurchase plans.

On July 2, the board of directors for Dollar Tree NASDAQ: DLTR replenished its share repurchase authorization to the tune of $2.5 billion.
The board approved the authorization the previous day, and the amount represented approximately 10.7% of the company’s more than 192 million shares outstanding at the time
Although Dollar Tree’s current authorization doesn’t have an expiration date, the company had already been active in the market, repurchasing $500 million of stock in June under its previous authorization.
When the calendar turned to July, shares were down 5.13% year to date (YTD), presenting an opportunity as the stock’s momentum had recently shifted.
Since its YTD low of $86.80 on May 13, DLTR has gained nearly 48% and now trades around 10% lower than its 52-week high of $142.40. The current rally can be partly attributed to July 8 upgrades from Raymond James (Outperform rating) and Goldman Sachs (from Sell to Neutral), as well as upwardly revised full-year guidance, with forecasted EPS increasing to a range of $6.70 to $7.10.
With a low-volatility beta of 0.65, a TradeSmith financial health indicator that has been green for about a month, and more than 97% institutional ownership, the discount retailer’s buyback aligns with Wall Street’s improving sentiment. After posting EPS beats for five consecutive quarters and six out of the last seven, Dollar Tree is expected to report Q2 earnings on Sept. 2.

Ahead of its record-breaking Q2 earnings report on July 15, Morgan Stanley NYSE: MS reauthorized a massive $20 billion buyback—good for 5.6% of its shares outstanding—on June 24.
The company’s current multi-year repurchase authorization doesn’t have an expiration date, and shares have ticked up slightly since the most recent buyback.
Q2 marks the second consecutive quarter the investment bank announced all-time high EPS and revenue, with the firm attributing its recent success to a 69% year-over-year jump in equity trading, an increase in investment banking deals and hitting a $10 trillion milestone in total client assets under management, including a record $148 billion in net new assets.
In Q2, the company spent $1.5 billion on its own shares, and since its YTD low on March 12, shares are up nearly 48%. The stock carries a consensus Moderate Buy rating, while current short interest is just 1.12% of the float.

On June 23, global professional services and consulting firm Accenture NYSE: ACN announced a $2 billion increase to its fiscal 2026 share repurchase program that accounts for 2.4% of its shares outstanding.
From management’s perspective, the authorization comes at an opportune time: Shares of ACN are down around 46% YTD, and nearly 53% off of their 52-week high.
That $2 billion repurchase plan was an increase that brought its 2026 authorization to $7.5 billion.
The company has until Aug. 31 to exhaust those funds, with CEO Julie Sweet saying that “Accenture is at the center of AI-driven reinvention, and we do not believe our current share price reflects that position or the strength of our business fundamentals.”
Still, the firm faces an uphill battle in getting its stock near its 52-week high. In Accenture’s Q3, revenue growth slowed to 5.59%, with operating cash flow regressing to a quarter-over-quarter loss of 0.82%.
Meanwhile, the company’s financial health, according to TradeSmith, has been in the red for more than five months. But the stock’s consensus price target suggests around 33% potential upside from current prices. Over the past year, institutional inflows of more than $25 billion (compared to $13.25 billion in outflows) demonstrate that the smart money also sees a buy-low opportunity.

The combined manufacturing footprint spans botanical extraction in Spain, Slovenia and Peru and fermentation in the United States. The merged group will have around 700 employees serving more than 1,200 customers in over 60 countries. Customers will continue to be served seamlessly, without interruption, and the group will continue to invest in commercial capability, R&D and innovation across the enlarged group.

Yoni Glickman, Non-Executive Chairman of SuanNutra, added: "Clinically supported branded ingredients are where this industry is heading – proven actives with the science to stand behind them. This expansion puts SuanNutra at the forefront of this transition. The move from artificial colours and preservatives to natural, scientifically substantiated ingredients is reshaping the food and health industries faster than ever."
Markus Petersen, Managing Partner of Carbyne Equity Partners, explained: "SuanNutra has a clear strategy and a management team that understands these businesses and their markets. This merger creates a botanical-based ingredients group of genuine scale and scientific credibility, and we are pleased to back the team in building it. We look forward to the opportunities these teams and SuanNutra will create together."

Staten Island, New York, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Tunnel to Towers Foundation announced today that its Chairman and CEO, Frank Siller, will publish his memoir, Let Us Do Good , on September 1, 2026, from Broadside Books, an imprint of HarperCollins. The book takes its title from the words the Siller family has lived by for generations.
NEW YORK, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for securities fraud after its significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.
If you invested in Peabody, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/peabody-class-action-lawsuit.
Key Details of the Peabody ($BTU) Class Action:
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: August 24, 2026Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud relating to Peabody’s statements about the coal production at Centurion, its flagship premium hard coking coal mine.Largest Alleged Stock Drop: March 30, 2026 – 9.7% stock dropCourt: U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of MissouriAction: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights Investors have until August 24, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Peabody common stock. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. It is captioned McGeachy v. Peabody, et al., No. 26-cv-01020.
Why is Peabody Being Sued for Securities Fraud?
Peabody is a producer of metallurgic and thermal coal that owns interests in 16 active coal mining operations in the United States and Australia.
According to the complaint, during the relevant period, Peabody announced it would be increasing production from its flagship premium hard coking coal mine, Centurion due to an acceleration of longwall operations. Peabody stated that shipments of Centurion’s premium hard coking coal would expand sevenfold in 2026 to 3.5 million tons and even more beyond that time. On February 5, 2026, Peabody indicated that the team was “putting the finishing touches on the Centurion mine in advance of starting longwall mining, well ahead of its original schedule.”
As alleged, in truth, the Centurion mine was facing significant commissioning challenges resulting in increased costs and volume decreases in its production.
Why did Peabody’s Stock Drop?
On March 30, 2026, Peabody announced lower sales volume from the Centurion mine due to a delivery of only 250,000 tons in the first quarter. Peabody attributed the low volume to “greater than anticipated mine commissioning challenges.”
This news caused the price of Peabody common stock to drop $3.82 per share, or 9.7%, from $39.50 per share on March 27, 2026, to $35.68 per share on March 30, 2026.
Then, on May 5, 2026, Peabody announced additional delays to the commissioning of the Centurion mine as well as increased costs and lower volume. Peabody stated it only expected to sell about 300,000 tons in the second quarter and reduced its full year sales outlook for Centurion from 3.5 million tons to 2.5 million tons.
This news caused the price of Peabody common stock to drop $1.52 per share, or 5.7%, from $26.52 per share on May 4, 2026, to $25.00 per share on May 5, 2025.

BTQ and TIDAL PWR to develop a repeatable architecture for quantum-enabled data centers, trusted supply chains, procurement standards, and secure deployment models for large-scale AI and advanced computing infrastructure
, /PRNewswire/ -- BTQ Technologies Corp. ("BTQ" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: BTQ) (CBOE CA: BTQ), a global technology company building the trust infrastructure for the quantum era, is pleased to announce a strategic collaboration with TIDAL PWR, a Texas-based developer of power generation and data center infrastructure for AI and advanced computing.
TIDAL PWR is focused on one of the most important constraints in AI infrastructure: reliable power and scalable data center buildout. As AI, high-performance computing, and quantum systems begin to converge around the same facilities, BTQ believes data center operators will need a clearer framework for deciding what to deploy, how to secure it, which vendors and devices to trust, and how to prepare facilities for quantum systems without treating quantum as an open-ended research project.
The collaboration is intended to develop a trusted quantum data center reference architecture that can be applied across future large-scale facilities. The initial scope is expected to include quantum data center design principles, trusted supply chain requirements, vendor and device procurement standards, post-quantum cryptographic security considerations, and a repeatable deployment model for facilities seeking to integrate quantum systems into AI, high-performance computing, and enterprise data center environments.
For BTQ, Building Trusted Quantum Technologies means helping operators move from interest in quantum to practical deployment. In the context of data centers, that means answering the operational questions that sit between research and real infrastructure: what systems should be deployed, how they should be secured, which vendors and devices can be trusted, how procurement standards should be written, and how quantum infrastructure can be built into facilities with defined technical and commercial outcomes.
"Building trusted quantum infrastructure is not just about the technology itself. It is about giving operators a clear path to deploy it," said Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of BTQ Technologies. "TIDAL PWR is focused on one of the most important constraints in AI infrastructure: reliable power and data center buildout. By combining that focus with BTQ's work across post-quantum security, quantum systems architecture, and trusted deployment models, we believe there is an opportunity to help define what a quantum data center should look like before the market standard is set."
The collaboration is expected to focus on several workstreams, including:
A trusted quantum data center reference architecture for AI, HPC, and future quantum workloads A technical roadmap for integrating quantum systems into large-scale data center facilities Procurement standards for devices, chips, and infrastructure components that may require post-quantum security or crypto-agile design Supply chain and vendor assessment criteria for trusted quantum infrastructure Security frameworks for protecting AI workloads, model weights, training systems, inference traffic, enterprise data, and privileged access A repeatable deployment model for hyperscale, enterprise, and managed service provider customers "TIDAL PWR is building power and data center infrastructure for the next wave of AI demand, and we see quantum as a natural extension of where advanced computing is going," said Chad Swensen, President and CEO of TIDAL PWR. "BTQ brings a practical framework for trusted quantum deployment, from security and procurement to architecture and vendor alignment. We believe this collaboration can help position TIDAL PWR among the first infrastructure developers planning for the quantum requirements of future data centers."
BTQ's role is expected to center on solutions architecture, post-quantum security guidance, trusted procurement frameworks, and vendor mapping across the quantum infrastructure stack. The objective is to create a practical blueprint that data center operators can use to evaluate, procure, secure, and deploy quantum-related infrastructure with defined technical and commercial outcomes.
"Quantum, AI, and data center infrastructure are moving toward the same physical footprint," added Roussy Newton. "The companies that build the data centers will need a trusted way to decide what to deploy, what to secure, what to buy, and how to make those systems useful. That is what Building Trusted Quantum Technologies means in practice."
The parties intend to begin with an initial planning and architecture track, with the potential to expand the relationship into deeper technical, commercial, and project-specific opportunities.

TIDAL PWR is developing power generation and data center infrastructure to support the growing demands of AI and advanced computing. Based in Texas, TIDAL PWR focuses on reliable, scalable power infrastructure for large-scale data center deployment.

The AI trade in 2026 has broadened well past mega-cap headliners. NVIDIA, Microsoft and Alphabet remain reflexive answers, but the second wave of infrastructure and software beneficiaries looks most interesting in July. PineBridge’s 2026 outlook flags datacenter equipment growth as “essentially locked” as hyperscaler CapEx compounds, and Goldman Sachs frames the AI CapEx boom as the counterweight driving business and investment activity into 2026. That backdrop favors the layer of the stack bought after the GPUs: servers, networking fabric, and enterprise software that monetizes the models.
Three names capture that thesis: One for AI Factory hardware, another for AI data center ethernet and another for agentic enterprise AI. Each delivered a tool-verified data point in the last quarter that justifies the label “AI beneficiary” without needing NVIDIA in the ticker.

In Q1 FY27, reported May 28, 2026, revenue hit $43.84 billion, up 87.5% YoY, and AI-optimized server revenue exploded to $16.13 billion, up 757% YoY. Non-GAAP EPS of $4.86 beat the $2.96 consensus. Management booked $24.40 billion in AI orders in the quarter and raised full-year FY27 revenue guidance to $165.0 to $169.0 billion, with AI server revenue guided to roughly $60 billion for the full year.
The bull case is clear: Dell captures the enterprise and sovereign AI buildout that hyperscalers cannot serve directly. CEO Jeff Clarke framed it as “exceptionally strong demand for AI-optimized servers” with over 3,000 customers now buying various forms of our Dell AI factories”. Shares are up 241.91% year to date through July 13, closing at $427.11, and traded up another 7.05% on July 14 to $457.21. A P/E of 23 against this growth profile remains reasonable if AI server orders compound.
The risk: gross margin compressed to 17.8% from 21.1% YoY as the AI mix crowds out higher-margin traditional server and storage revenue. Shareholders’ equity remains negative at $(1.40) billion, and prediction-market sentiment has cooled, with a composite score of 34.36 (bearish) and a -20.05 shift over the past seven days. A nonlinear order pattern means quarters can disappoint even inside a strong trend.
Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) is the enterprise software counterpoint: agentic AI turning into durable recurring revenue. Q1 FY27 revenue came in at $11.13 billion, up 13.3% YoY, with non-GAAP EPS of $3.88 against a $3.13 estimate. Agentforce plus Data 360 combined ARR reached approximately $3.4 billion, up over 200% YoY, and Salesforce processed 3.8 billion Agentic Work Units and 28.6 trillion tokens. Marc Benioff called it “an outstanding quarter for Salesforce, record revenue, record deals, and cash flow. Agentic AI is the biggest growth opportunity for our customers, and for Salesforce.”
The bull case rests on valuation and monetization. Salesforce trades at a P/E of 19 with a 77.7% gross margin and 21.5% operating margin. Current RPO of $33.6 billion, up 14% YoY gives forward visibility, and the company raised FY27 revenue guidance to $45.9 billion to $46.2 billion. A $25 billion accelerated share repurchase reduced diluted share count to 871 million from 970 million YoY. Sentiment sits at a neutral 47.93 composite score, framing CRM as the contrarian pick, up just 3.21% over the past month against a -35.03% year-to-date return.

The risk: noncurrent debt ballooned to $39.3 billion from $10.4 billion to fund the buyback, and the Informatica acquisition adds integration risk. Core Sales and Service Cloud growth trails Agentforce, so the AI narrative must keep converting.
Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET) Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) is the networking layer connecting hyperscaler GPU clusters, executing on both demand and pricing power. Q1 2026 revenue came in at $2.71 billion, up 35.1% YoY, non-GAAP EPS of 87 cents beat the 81-cent consensus, and operating cash flow more than doubled to $1.69 billion. Management raised the 2026 revenue target to $11.5 billion and the AI Fabrics target to $3.5 billion, effectively doubling AI sales annually.
The bull case is simple: Jayshree Ullal said flatly that “our demand is actually the best I have ever seen in my Arista tenure”, and the company now claims the number one market share in high-speed switching in the greater than 10 gigabit Ethernet category. Purchase commitments jumped to $8.9 billion from $6.8 billion, a forward indicator of the order book. Shares are up nearly 24% this year, with the strongest prediction sentiment of the three at a 66 bullish composite score.
The risk: gross margin compressed to 62.4% from 64.1% YoY as hyperscaler mix and component costs weigh on unit economics, and Arista carries meaningful customer concentration alongside 52-week lead times on key chips. If hyperscaler CapEx intentions soften in 2027, the backlog reprices quickly.
What Ties These Three Together Each captures a specific slice of AI spend, none requires calling the top on NVIDIA, and each delivered a quarter with hard evidence that AI dollars are landing on the P&L. That is the setup worth watching into second-half earnings season.

ATLANTA, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) awarded four prestigious national Sigma Delta Chi Awards to Gray Media’s national investigative team, InvestigateTV, and its New Orleans, Louisiana, station WVUE FOX 8.
InvestigateTV received two national awards for its deep-dive reporting on healthcare inequities and police interrogation tactics. For the third consecutive year, WVUE FOX 8 was also honored with two national awards, including top honors for breaking news and large-market investigative reporting.
“These national honors reflect Gray’s deep commitment to high-impact journalism that serves our communities and holds the powerful accountable,” said Gray Chief Operating Officer Sandy Breland. “Whether providing critical, real-time information during a breaking news crisis or spending months uncovering systemic inequities, our teams at InvestigateTV and WVUE deliver reporting that truly matters. We are incredibly proud of their dedication and this well-deserved recognition.”
The 2025 Sigma Delta Chi Award-winning entries from Gray include:
Television/Audio Inequities in Society: InvestigateTV won for “Dead Zone,” a powerful series exposing how the lack of high-speed internet in rural America fuels life-and-death disparities in healthcare access, disproportionately affecting poor, elderly, and Black communities. Partnering with KFF Health News, the team analyzed FCC broadband maps alongside health workforce and outcomes data to identify 210 “dead zone” counties.Television/Audio Crime Reporting: InvestigateTV won for “Confession Questions,” a compelling investigation into police interrogation techniques and the controversial tactic of using deception during questioning. The report featured Amanda Knox, who was later exonerated in her roommate’s death, describing how interrogation pressure led to a false confession.Television Breaking News (All Markets): WVUE FOX 8 news staff won first place for its wall-to-wall coverage of the Bourbon Street Terror Attack on January 1, 2025. Judges praised the station’s coverage, noting that it showed “speed doesn’t automatically conflict with accuracy and compassion.”Television Investigative Reporting (Large Market): WVUE FOX 8 won for “Outside the Office: The Indictment.” The multi-year investigation into former New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell’s misuse of public funds and her relationship with a former police officer assigned to her security team led to a federal grand jury indictment. The Society of Professional Journalists’ Sigma Delta Chi Awards recognized outstanding work published or broadcast in 2025, with judges selecting winners from entries across print, radio, television, and online categories to honor journalism that promotes a well-informed citizenry and protects free speech.

Earnings season is here, and the setup is unusual: expectations were already high before a single major report landed.
That matters because high expectations raise the bar for what counts as "good enough"—a company can beat last year's numbers and still disappoint the market if it doesn't beat this year's inflated bar.
Analysts raised their estimates heading into this season, a pattern that has historically preceded more volatility, not less, even when the underlying economy is strong.
Get Avnet alerts:
Marc Chaikin of Chaikin Analytics says this earnings season is likely to reward patience and selectivity over blanket optimism, and the early bank numbers show exactly why. That tension is already visible in the first results of the season: the banks.
Bank Earnings Beat, But the Real Driver Is Under the HoodBig bank earnings landed strong across the board.
Goldman Sachs NYSE: GS, JPMorgan Chase NYSE: JPM, Bank of America NYSE: BAC, Wells Fargo NYSE: WFC and Citigroup NYSE: C all topped estimates—and the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund NYSEARCA: XLF hit a new high on the news.
But the headline beat isn't the full picture investors should weigh. A meaningful chunk of this quarter's bank profits came from shrinking loan-loss reserves rather than pure business growth, per Chaikin's analysis.
Banks set aside less money to cushion against potential defaults when the economy looks stable, and that reversal flows straight to the bottom line.
It's a real tailwind, but a one-time one, not a repeatable growth engine. For investors, that argues for treating bank stocks as a buy-the-dip opportunity rather than something to chase at current highs.
Big Tech Splits Into Winners and the RestNot every mega-cap name deserves the same treatment this earnings season, and lumping them together would be a mistake.
Among the six mega-cap technology companies highlighted by Chaikin—Microsoft NASDAQ: MSFT, Apple NASDAQ: AAPL, Amazon NASDAQ: AMZN, Alphabet NASDAQ: GOOGL, Oracle NYSE: ORCL, and Meta Platforms NASDAQ: META—only Apple and Meta currently carry a bullish Power Gauge ratings, meaning the others haven't cleared his fundamental and technical bar despite their size.
Investors weighing whether their own mega-cap holdings pass that same bar can run any stock through the Power Gauge directly.

Oracle is the clearest case for caution.
The company has committed roughly $300 billion to build data-center capacity for OpenAI, a bet that looks shakier now that OpenAI has pushed its IPO timeline from 2026 into 2027 while holding out for a $1 trillion valuation. That's a meaningful read-through: Oracle's growth story is tied to a customer whose own path to public markets just got murkier.
Tesla NASDAQ: TSLA carries a similar caution flag, and NVIDIA NASDAQ: NVDA faces its own pattern worth watching: the stock has sold off after each of its last four earnings reports despite beating estimates every time.
For investors holding these names into earnings, that history provides a reason to expect volatility around the report itself, regardless of how the numbers come in.
The Chip Trade Looks Like the Opposite SetupIf mega-cap tech is a "good news might not be good enough" story, chip stocks one rung down are closer to "the bad news may already be priced in."
Micron Technology NASDAQ: MU, AMD NASDAQ: AMD, SanDisk NASDAQ: SNDK, Dell Technologies NYSE: DELL, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise NYSE: HPE have all pulled back 15% to 20% from recent highs, even after several have posted strong earnings results.
That combination—still-bullish fundamentals paired with an oversold chart—is what Chaikin points to as the more attractive setup heading into this earnings cycle. The distinction is that this isn't a bet on the next earnings report specifically, but a bet that a group already down double digits has more room to recover than room to fall further.

SpaceX NASDAQ: SPCX shares have continued sliding since the IPO, and the reason matters for anyone deciding whether to buy the dip.
The company's own prospectus reframed SpaceX as an AI business rather than purely a Starlink and launch operation, a repositioning that the market hasn't rewarded.
On top of that, standard post-IPO insider lockup periods typically run around six months, a stretch that historically has kept pressure on newly public stocks (Facebook's 2012 debut is a comparable case).
The practical takeaway: this isn't necessarily a broken company, but it may be a slow-moving stock for a while yet, and investors expecting a quick turnaround may be early.
The same caution extends to smaller space-adjacent stocks that rallied ahead of the IPO and have since given much of that back, since many still lack the earnings to justify a rebound on their own.

Here's the more counterintuitive takeaway: a great earnings report doesn't always help a stock the way investors assume.
In mega-cap names like NVIDIA, the good news is often already priced in, and index funds may be the only reliable buyers left, regardless of results.
Small and mid-cap stocks work differently. Because they're covered by fewer analysts, a strong quarter tends to attract new coverage and new buyers rather than getting absorbed immediately.
Chaikin points to Avnet NASDAQ: AVT as an example.
After posting strong results in April, the electronic components distributor climbed from roughly $77 to $94 over the following two months, the kind of sustained follow-through he says is more typical in the mid-cap space than at the mega-cap end.
A recent breakout in value-oriented S&P 500 stocks adds a broader tailwind to that thesis.
For investors willing to look past the most obvious names, this segment of the market may offer better risk-reward this earnings season than the names getting the most headlines.
This Earnings Season Rewards Patience, Not PanicThe risk this earnings season is real: high expectations, a market already near record highs, and a track record of sell-the-news reactions in the most-watched names. The upside is just as real, though.
A pullback in strong companies caught up in a broader "sell the news" reaction can become an entry point rather than a warning sign, particularly in beaten-down chip names and under-covered mid-caps trading well below their recent highs.

I keep hitting the “Buy” button on Credo Technology Group (NASDAQ:CRDO | CRDO Price Prediction) because I have not found another pure-play way to own the wiring of the AI data center at this scale. Every rack of GPUs a hyperscaler stands up needs high-speed connectivity that does not drop links, does not burn extra watts, and does not require the whole cluster to be babysat. Credo sells exactly that, and the fiscal 2026 numbers tell me the buyers are ordering with both hands.
The Thesis in Plain English Credo makes Active Electrical Cables, retimers, optical DSPs, SerDes chiplets and memory connectivity for AI clusters, supporting port speeds up to 1.6 terabits per second. Fabless, vertically integrated and now printing hyperscaler-grade margins.
CEO Bill Brennan put it cleanly on the Q4 call: “Fiscal 2026 marked another defining year for Credo. For the year, revenue more than tripled to $1.3 billion, and non-GAAP net income increased more than five times to $662 million.” That is the catalyst itself, already in motion.
Three Reasons the Conviction Holds First, the growth is real and compounding. Q4 FY2026 revenue landed at $437.00M, up 157.0% YoY, and full-year revenue came in at $1.335 billion, up 205.7% YoY. Credo has beaten EPS estimates in four consecutive quarters, with the most recent beat at 12.17%.
Second, the margin profile. Non-GAAP gross margin in Q4 was 68.3%, non-GAAP operating margin hit 49.6%, and net income margin reached 51.9%. Operating income grew 361.2% YoY on 157% revenue growth. That is operating leverage most semiconductor investors dream about.
Third, the balance sheet. Cash sits at $1.165 billion against total liabilities of $232.01M and equity of $2.064 billion. No debt overhang forcing a bad decision at a bad time.
Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Credo Technology Group didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
Why Not the Obvious Names The instinct is to reach for Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL) or Astera Labs (NASDAQ:ALAB). I own AI silicon through other slots, and none deliver Credo’s specific mix: Quarterly revenue growth of 157% year over year while operating margin ran 35.7% trailing 12 months on a share count barely over 186 million.
Broadcom is fine, but AI networking is one slice of a giant conglomerate. Marvell’s growth rate does not sit in the same neighborhood. Astera plays an adjacent lane, but Credo’s AEC franchise, where Brennan says “AECs are up to 1,000 times more reliable and consume half the power” versus optical, gives it a moat I can point to.
The Risk I Actually Watch Insider selling has been heavy. The CTO disposed of roughly 300,000+ shares across the April to July window, and executives were selling into the recovery, not just at the highs. Customer concentration is real: the top three customers were 35%, 33% and 20% of revenue in Q1. RSU-driven selling against $662 million in annual non-GAAP net income reads as routine diversification at a rapidly compounding company, and a fourth hyperscaler is already ramping toward material contribution.
What Keeps the Buy Button Active Q1 FY2027 guidance calls for revenue of $465 million to $475 million, sequentially higher again. Analysts are bullish with 17 Buy ratings versus one hold rating and a target of $269.81. Forward P/E of 41 is not cheap, but on this growth curve I will pay it.
As long as hyperscalers keep building clusters and Credo keeps beating its own guide, my order tickets stay open.

Predominantly third-line pancreatic cancer patients demonstrated durable survival despite advanced disease; patient who received Namodenoson as second-line therapy remains alive more than 18 months
Ramat Gan, Israel, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (NYSE American: CANF) (TASE: CANF), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drugs targeting oncological and inflammatory diseases, today announced that an abstract highlighting positive results from its Phase 2a study of Namodenoson in patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), has been accepted for poster presentation at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2026.
The accepted abstract, entitled "Durable Disease Stabilization with Namodenoson in Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Results from a Phase 2a Study," will be presented as a poster during the ESMO Congress, one of the world's premier scientific meetings in oncology.
The Phase 2a study evaluated oral Namodenoson in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer who had progressed following prior standard therapies. As previously announced, the study successfully achieved its primary safety endpoint and demonstrated encouraging survival outcomes together with durable disease stabilization in this difficult-to-treat patient population.
"We are pleased that our abstract has been selected for presentation at ESMO, one of the most prestigious international oncology conferences," said Pnina Fishman, Ph.D., Chairperson and Chief Scientific Officer of Can-Fite BioPharma. "Acceptance by ESMO provides important scientific recognition of our pancreatic cancer program and offers an opportunity to present our clinical findings to the global oncology community. We believe these data further support the continued development of Namodenoson for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer."
Namodenoson is a highly selective A3 adenosine receptor agonist with a unique mechanism of action that induces apoptosis of cancer cells while exhibiting an excellent safety profile. The drug has demonstrated anti-tumor activity across multiple preclinical models, including pancreatic cancer, and is also being developed for hepatocellular carcinoma and MASH.
Can-Fite is currently planning the next stage of clinical development for Namodenoson in pancreatic cancer, with a Phase 2b study designed to evaluate Namodenoson in combination with chemotherapy based on encouraging clinical findings and supportive preclinical evidence demonstrating synergistic anti-tumor activity.
Additional details regarding the poster presentation, including presentation date, session information, and poster number, will be announced when they become available.
About Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC)
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is among the most aggressive malignancies and remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Patients with advanced disease who progress following standard therapies have limited treatment options and continue to face poor clinical outcomes, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic approaches.
About Namodenoson
Namodenoson is a small orally bioavailable drug that binds with high affinity and selectivity to the A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR). Namodenoson is currently being evaluated in a pivotal Phase 3 trial for advanced liver cancer, concluded successfully a Phase 2a study in pancreatic cancer and is enrolling patients in a Phase 2b trial for the treatment of Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatohepatitis (MASH). A3AR is highly expressed in diseased cells whereas low expression is found in normal cells. This differential expression may be one of the important factors that accounts for the excellent safety profile of the drug.
About Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd.
Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (NYSE American: CANF) (TASE: CANF) is an advanced clinical stage drug development Company with a platform technology that is designed to address multi-billion dollar markets in the treatment of cancer, liver, and inflammatory disease. The Company’s lead drug candidate, Piclidenoson recently reported topline results in a Phase 3 trial for psoriasis and commenced a pivotal Phase 3 trial. Can-Fite’s liver drug, Namodenoson, is being evaluated in a Phase III trial for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a Phase 2b trial for the treatment of MASH, and in a Phase 2a study in pancreatic cancer. Namodenoson has been granted Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S. and Europe and Fast Track Designation as a second line treatment for HCC by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Namodenoson has also shown proof of concept to potentially treat other cancers including colon, prostate, and melanoma. CF602, the Company’s third drug candidate, has shown efficacy in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

CompaniesJuly 20 (Reuters) - Magnolia Oil & Gas (MGY.N), opens new tab said on Monday it had agreed to acquire WildFire Energy for about $4.06 billion, including debt, to expand its position in the Giddings field in South Texas.
The deal includes about 810,000 net acres in Giddings, more than doubling Magnolia's position there to over 1.25 million net acres, strengthening its position across the Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford and Woodbine formations.
The Reuters Power Up newsletter provides everything you need to know about the global energy industry. Sign up here.
The acquisition also includes a sand mine that supplies about 80% of Magnolia's annual sand needs, along with more than 500 miles of gas gathering pipelines.
Shale producers are pursuing consolidation in core operating areas to secure long-life drilling inventory, lower development costs and support shareholder returns, even as the pace of industry megamergers has slowed.
The company said the larger, contiguous acreage position is expected to generate more than $100 million in annual cost savings and operational synergies.
"WildFire is not only a hand-in-glove fit for Magnolia, but it also offers unmatched benefits while meeting several important characteristics we look for — focused, high-quality assets with concentrated scale, a low capital reinvestment rate providing moderate production growth, high operating margins, and steady free cash flow," Magnolia CEO Chris Stavros said.
Stavros added that these qualities would allow Magnolia to deliver consistent and significant shareholder returns.
Under the agreement, WildFire owners will receive 32.2 million Magnolia Class A shares, while Magnolia will assume $600 million of WildFire notes due in 2029.
Magnolia also raised its quarterly dividend by 9% to 18 cents per share, citing confidence in the acquired assets' ability to generate higher free cash flow.
Separately, Magnolia said second-quarter production averaged 106,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day and raised its standalone 2026 production growth forecast to 6% from 5%.
The deal is expected to close late in the third quarter of 2026.

The move shows that building resilient domestic fuel capacity requires coordinated action from more than just miners and enrichers. There are also component suppliers, construction and site services firms, reactor developers, and utilities — all translating this policy support into tangible revenue opportunities for nuclear players.
Key Takeaways The DOE approved the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Consortium Voluntary Agreement. The structure gives participants antitrust protections to develop Plans of Action that strengthen the nuclear fuel cycle from mining through recycling. The consortium explicitly includes committees and scope for utilities and reactors, not just upstream fuel stages. Major participants include Solstice Advanced Materials (SOLS), Mirion Technologies (MIR), and Amentum (AMTM). These names highlight how the initiative draws in specialized materials, instrumentation, and construction and operations expertise. DOE Formalizes Broad Industry Collaboration Framework On July 6, the Federal Register published the approved voluntary agreement for the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Consortium. The agreement followed a public meeting, comment period, and coordination with the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission. It responds to the executive orders on reinvigorating the nuclear industrial base and addressing the national energy emergency.
The consortium creates a structured way for private-sector companies to share information, coordinate planning, and develop specific Plans of Action under DOE oversight. These plans can target bottlenecks in mining and milling, conversion, enrichment, fabrication and deconversion, recycling and reprocessing, and the interfaces with utilities and reactors.
To navigate potential antitrust concerns, the project is being coordinated by the DOE. By leveraging the DPA to address a national energy security emergency, the program has secured direct antitrust immunity from the Department of Justice.
Importantly, the governance model organizes committees by stage of the fuel cycle and explicitly incorporates utilities and reactors. This structure recognizes that fuel supply only creates value when it supports operating plants and new reactor deployments.

Participants Span the Entire Nuclear Ecosystem The published list of companies that have signed the voluntary agreement includes dozens of entities active at every point in the nuclear value chain:
Fuel chain names such as Cameco (CCJ), Centrus Energy (LEU), and Lightbridge Corp (LTBR). Advanced reactor developers including Oklo Inc (OKLO), NuScale Power (SMR), and NANO Nuclear (NNE). Reactor owner/operators such as Constellation Energy (CEG), Vistra Corp (VST), and Talen Energy (TLN). Supply and manufacturing companies including BWX Technologies (BWXT). The presence of supply chain and construction firms shows the initiative reaches well beyond traditional uranium miners and enrichers. Solstice Advanced Materials (SOLS) brings specialized capabilities in the uranium conversion and advanced materials segment. Mirion Technologies (MIR) supplies reactor instrumentation and radiation monitoring systems. Amentum (AMTM) contributes deep experience in DOE site operations, construction, plutonium processing infrastructure, and waste management.
These examples illustrate how a program that began with a fuel security mandate naturally pulls in the companies that design, build, instrument, and operate the facilities that turn fuel into electricity.
NUKZX Captures Balanced Exposure Across All Segments The VettaFi Nuclear Renaissance Index (NUKZX) includes many of the consortium participants and maintains meaningful weightings across the full spectrum of the industry. The index is further balanced with companies in the component manufacturing and engineering industries, such as Curtiss-Wright (CW) and Flowserve (FLS).
This diversified composition positions NUKZX to benefit as the consortium helps coordinate timelines, reduce project risk, and accelerate concrete Plans of Action. Investors gain exposure to nearer-term opportunities in fuel infrastructure and existing fleet support as well as longer-term upside from advanced reactor deployment — without concentrating risk in any single segment of the value chain. NUKZX serves as the underlying index for the Range Nuclear Renaissance Index ETF (NUKZ).
