Apollo Global Management's (APO +1.58%) stock price is down about 15% in recent weeks. The decline is mainly tied to the annual reconstitution of the Russell indexes. Apollo, an alternative asset manager, was removed from the Russell 1000 Growth Index following the latest reconstitution, which took effect on June 26.
In the algorithms that Russell uses to reconstitute its various indexes, Apollo no longer exhibited the traits of a growth stock. Instead, it was deemed a value stock and was moved into the Russell 1000 Value Index.
Right after the rebalancing took effect, Apolloʻs stock price dropped sharply and is now trading at roughly $120 per share, off 18% year to date. But is this an opportunity to buy low on this growth-turned-value stock?
Image source: Getty Images.
Growth to value A big reason Apollo stock dropped is that it got kicked out of two massive growth exchange-traded funds (ETFs) -- the $127 billion iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF +0.28%) and the $44 billion Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF (VONG +0.26%). Losing invested capital from these sizeable funds, literally overnight, can leave a big dent in the stock price.
It did get added to two value ETFs -- the $81 billion iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (IWD +0.37%) and the $20 billion Vanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF (VONV +0.47%). But combined, these two ETFs have almost $75 billion less in assets to invest than the two growth ETFs.
That aside, Apollo Global still has strong fundamentals, and this rebalancing could present an excellent buying opportunity.
Showtime for Apollo? Apollo stock looks like a good buy right now, with some momentum following a strong first quarter. As an alternative asset manager, it invests in private equity, private debt, and other alternative investments. These assets tend to have a low correlation to stocks, often performing well when stocks don't -- like they did in the first quarter.

In Q1, Apollo had record fee-related income of $728 million, up 30% year over year, while adjusted net income rose 8% to $1.2 billion. Wall Street analysts project 21% revenue growth in 2026 and 14% growth in 2027. Earnings are expected to rise 6% this year and another 20% in 2027.
One concern that contributed to the sell-off was a June 22 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing that said Apollo was capping redemptions at 5%. This was most likely due to high redemption requests to its flagship fund, Apollo Debt Solutions, totalling 16.8% of the fund. This was sparked by heightened concerns among investors about problems in the private credit market. It's the second quarter in a row that they've put redemption caps in place. While private credit has been resilient, it is something to watch.
Apollo is a good value on a forward earnings basis Apollo's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is high, but that's because it took GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) losses last quarter due to a high one-time offshore tax-related expense. But on a forward earnings basis, it is relatively cheap, trading at 13 times forward earnings.
Some 73% of Wall Street analysts rate it as a buy, with a median price target of $150 per share. That would suggest 25% upside.
I think reconstitution will benefit investors, as they can now get this value stock at a discount.

For clients actively trading digital assets, the ability to use USDC as good segregated collateral will enhance capital efficiencies and set the stage for a new wave of innovation.”
The launch of this service follows the issuance of a no-action letter from the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in December 2025, on the use of digital assets as collateral. The letter effectively permits Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs) to accept non-securities digital assets, including USDC, Bitcoin and Ethereum, as customer margin collateral for CFTC-regulated derivatives and to treat them in certain risk calculations, subject to strict conditions. Coinbase supports Marex’s implementation through NYDFS-qualified custody, 1:1 instant fiat-to-USDC conversion, and bespoke reporting infrastructure aligned with CME requirements.
The integration of USDC marks a significant step toward modernizing global derivatives market infrastructure. In today’s markets, risk moves in response to global events as they unfold, yet collateral relies on traditional banking rails constrained by operating hours and multi-day settlement. The ability to post USDC as initial margin empowers Marex clients to manage risk in near real time, moving collateral 24/7 at internet-speed to keep pace with always-on markets. Over time, as the use of tokenized collateral becomes more prevalent, its real-time mobility and transparency can help drive down risks across the system.
“USDC, when integrated into institutional trading and clearing workflows, enables initial margin to move at internet speed, unlocking new levels of efficiency and programmability in collateral management all while meeting the rigorous standards institutional markets demand,” said Claire Ching, VP of Global Capital Markets at Circle. “By supporting USDC as IM collateral, Marex is equipping institutional trading clients to operate seamlessly in a 24/7 global market environment.”
“Stablecoin collateral is moving from concept to production. Coinbase is providing the institutional infrastructure underneath: NYDFS-qualified custody, instant fiat-to-USDC conversion, and reporting built to meet clearing-grade requirements. The same infrastructure that safeguards assets for the majority of US spot crypto ETFs is now powering collateral workflows in regulated derivatives clearing. We expect this model to extend across more clearinghouses and margin workflows as the market moves toward always-on collateral,” said Liz Martin, Coinbase VP of Markets and Head of Derivatives.
Joe Balcarcel, Chief Administrative Officer, said: “Prime Trading, LLC is excited to partner with Marex on this innovative initiative and support the continued evolution of digital asset infrastructure within traditional derivatives markets. We believe this represents an important step forward for the trading industry, as blockchain-based collateral solutions have the potential to enhance capital efficiency, improve the speed and flexibility of collateral management, and provide the ability to respond to significant market events and trading opportunities beyond traditional banking hours.”
Ram Vittal, Chief Executive Officer, Marex Americas, said: “We’re proud to be at the forefront of the convergence of digital assets and traditional finance to enhance market access and responsibly reshape the financial ecosystem for clients and future generations.”
For its first transaction, Marex accepted USDC as IM collateral from Prime Trading, with Coinbase’s supporting custody, settlement, and reporting infrastructure, and delivered cash to fund positions.
Marex is a leader in digital assets innovation and regulated crypto markets. In addition to being a large clearer of crypto derivatives on CME, Cboe, SGX, Coinbase Derivatives Exchange, and Bitnomial, Recently, Marex was a day one clearer for the launch of SGX Crypto Perpetual Futures, cleared the first-ever Bitcoin Friday Futures block trade and the first-ever Bitcoin Friday Futures options trade on CME.

G2000 PRIME brings turbine-class avionics technology to high-performance piston and electric aircraft
, /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today introduced G2000® PRIME, its new premium integrated flight deck for high-performance Class I/II piston and electric aircraft. Leveraging innovations debuted in the G3000 PRIME flight deck, G2000 PRIME refines the flight deck experience for another class of aircraft with sleek, intuitive, all-touchscreen displays. State-of-the-art user interface design and advanced connectivity enable G2000 PRIME to leverage cutting-edge technologies that can enhance safety potential and efficiency while minimizing pilot workload in every phase of flight.
Garmin unveils G2000 PRIME Integrated Flight Deck "The response to our PRIME flight decks has been incredibly enthusiastic, and we're excited to bring this next-generation technology to high-performance light general aviation aircraft with G2000 PRIME. As pilots and aircraft manufacturers continue to seek more intuitive, capable and connected avionics, G2000 PRIME delivers on that demand with a premium flight deck experience designed to help simplify operations, enhance situational awareness and support advanced safety-enhancing technologies. It represents an important step forward in bringing Garmin's most advanced integrated flight deck innovations to more aircraft and more pilots."
–Phil Straub, Garmin Executive Vice President and Managing Director, Aviation
Stunning edge-to-edge glass flight displays
G2000 PRIME features expansive 14-inch touchscreen primary display units (PDU) with edge-to-edge, sunlight-readable, fingerprint-resistant glass, redefining expectations in cockpit aesthetics and functionality. The vibrant displays include multiple performance enhancements such as quadruple the memory and gigabit system connectivity that is up to 100 times faster than earlier systems. New, faster multi-core processors more than double the processing power – leveraging Garmin's experience certifying multi-core technology for civil and military aviation markets as early as 2017. Additionally, higher display refresh rates provide crisp, smooth animations and an impressively responsive and fluid experience.
The secondary display units (SDU) provide data entry and system control, with the added capability to display multi-function applications. The high-resolution, 7-inch SDUs boast a 40% increase in screen area over prior Garmin touch controllers. Additionally, in certain aircraft applications, the SDUs can double as an integrated standby flight instrument display, removing the need for a dedicated standby flight instrument in the panel.
G2000 PRIME's new advanced multi-touch touchscreen interface, capable of recognizing up to 10 touchscreen inputs at once, allows both pilot and copilot to interact with the same display simultaneously. The enhanced multi-touch technology also enables on-screen hand stabilization, allowing pilots to give precise touchscreen inputs while simultaneously resting their fingers on the display.
Modern & intuitive new user interface
G2000 PRIME boasts a modern, yet familiar user interface, blending Garmin's rich experience in avionics design with a sleek, contemporary look and feel. Enhanced fonts and iconography ensure clarity and familiarity, while smartly organized and shallow application menus provide quick access to critical functions.
Primary Flight Windows (PFW) and Multi-Function Windows (MFW) maximize situational awareness with full-screen or split-screen options. New quick access bars allow pilots to open common apps such as maps, traffic, weather and charts with one touch. While viewing maps, pilots can touch anywhere to open a radial menu with options for accessing additional airport, weather, or airspace information, or quickly adjusting a flight plan via graphical editing. Interactive engine and electrical indications allow pilots to quickly open systems controls and information such as cabin environmental controls, synoptics and more.
To further ease information management, the Window Manager feature allows pilots to configure app display, window sizing, and more across the entire flight deck from one SDU. The Window Manager also provides multiple preset options that can configure all displays with one command, eliminating the need for operators to manually configure each window for various phases of flight.
Advanced flight tools
G2000 PRIME provides enhanced flight management system (FMS) tools like the Modified Flight Plan, which allows pilots to use both the PDU and SDUs to provide a side-by-side graphical preview of flight plan changes, including performance calculation comparisons or what-if scenarios. During initialization, pilots can also elect to set up an Emergency Return function, which simplifies pilot responses to in-flight emergencies shortly after takeoff. Recently introduced to Garmin integrated flight decks,
Taxiway Routing has been further improved to provide automated route guidance on the 2D navigational maps and 3D Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™) depictions.
G2000 PRIME provides advanced automation with smart checklists that are linked to crew alerting system (CAS) messages. When pilots receive a CAS message that is associated with a checklist, pilots may simply tap the message to open the appropriate checklist with a single touch. The checklists can also now sense indications and show within the checklist that the item is in the correct position, value or configuration – or provide pilots with the option to quickly view detailed synoptics. Integration with Garmin-designed Electronic Power Distribution Systems replaces traditional switches with intuitive electronic circuit breakers, providing enhanced automation and ensuring a streamlined and modern cockpit experience.
Unmatched safety-enhancing innovations
G2000 PRIME features a wide array of industry-leading advanced safety-enhancing technologies available only from Garmin, including Autonomí, Garmin's family of autonomous safety-enhancing technologies. Collier Trophy recipient, Garmin Autoland, can take complete control of the flight to land the aircraft in an emergency situation where the pilot is unable to do so1. Additional safety tools such as Smart Glide™, Smart Rudder Bias, Electronic Stability Protection (ESP™), Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) and Garmin Autothrottle further ensure confidence in every flight.
Garmin's terminal safety solutions add even more capabilities to G2000 PRIME-equipped aircraft. Award-winning Runway Occupancy Awareness (ROA) technology analyzes GPS and ADS-B traffic information relevant to the airport's runways and taxiways to assess and alert the flight crew of a possible runway incursion or collision. ROA builds upon Garmin's other terminal safety solutions including 3D SafeTaxi® and Garmin SurfaceWatch™.
Seamless connectivity and integration
Stay fully connected while flying behind G2000 PRIME using a variety of supported connectivity options such as Connext Satellite Services, LTE, SiriusXM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth® and more. Garmin's PlaneSync™ connected aircraft management system automatically updates databases2, logs flight and engine data and allows aircraft owners and operators to remotely check fuel and systems status via the Garmin Pilot™ app3. Automated cockpit functions such as flight plan uploads over PlaneSync ensure pilots have access to real-time data, enhancing their operational efficiency and decision-making.
Initial aircraft delivering with G2000 PRIME will be announced by aircraft manufacturers. To learn more, visit Garmin.com/G2000PRIME.

MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AIRO Group Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIRO), a next-generation aerospace and defense company, today announced the successful delivery of a major unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) order to a global defense customer. Completed during the second quarter of 2026, the delivery highlights the continued expansion of AIRO’s autonomous systems business.
“Because we build the sensor, the autonomy and the airframe in-house, we control quality, cost and delivery in a way competitors relying on outside suppliers cannot.” - Joe Burns, CEO of AIRO
ShareThe delivery marks another milestone in AIRO’s strategy to expand its portfolio of proprietary technologies, increase the value delivered on each platform, and strengthen its ability to scale production for allied defense customers. Importantly, this significant delivery demonstrates AIRO’s ability to respond rapidly to large-volume customer demand, leveraging the strength of its SkyWatch brand’s supply chain, manufacturing capabilities, and operational execution.
The RQ-35 Heidrun is a battle-proven, fixed-wing UAS that gives soldiers and decision-makers real-time intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. Its onboard mission-centric AI supports detection, recognition and identification, along with customer-specific edge applications.
“Getting proven systems into operators’ hands quickly is what matters most in today’s environment, and this delivery reflects our ability to do exactly that at scale,” said AIRO Executive Chairman Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria. “As demand for unmanned ISR accelerates across allied forces, our focus is on being the partner that delivers reliable capability when and where it is needed.”
Continuously refined through battlefield feedback and validated in Ukraine, the RQ-35 Heidrun offers up to three hours of endurance, a 50 km operational range, onboard AI processing, electronic warfare-resilient navigation support and a low visual and acoustic profile. The platform is designed for time-sensitive ISTAR, target observation, route reconnaissance and terrain awareness missions.
“This delivery underscores AIRO’s strategy to build and scale advanced unmanned systems that meet the urgent needs of allied defense and security customers,” said Joe Burns, Chief Executive Officer of AIRO. “Because we build the sensor, the autonomy and the airframe in-house, we control quality, cost and delivery in a way competitors relying on outside suppliers cannot. That vertical integration is what let us convert this order into a fielded capability on schedule, and it is how we intend to keep executing against our backlog.”
This major RQ-35 drone delivery demonstrates the continued scaling of AIRO’s unmanned systems production and the growing role of its platforms in allied defense and security operations. The Company remains focused on expanding production capacity, increasing the amount of proprietary technology across its platform, and delivering mission-critical systems that support future growth opportunities across U.S., NATO, and allied markets.

The market tends to broadly group stocks into two buckets: growth and value. Growth stocks are those that are growing faster than the market, while value stocks are those that are far cheaper than the market. However, there are several subcategories that investors need to understand. I think the most exciting is hypergrowth, which meets the criteria for a growth stock but is growing so fast that it needs to be analyzed differently.
These stocks can deliver jaw-dropping gains in a short time frame and make for fantastic investments for investors looking for ultimate upside. I've got three stocks that easily fit this category, and each looks poised to soar.
Image source: Getty Images.
Micron and Sandisk I'm grouping Micron (MU 7.72%) and Sandisk (SNDK 8.32%) together because they have very similar investment theses. Both make memory chips, which are vital for nearly every computing device. Micron makes both NAND and DRAM memory, while Sandisk solely makes NAND. Although the applications for each of these memory types are different, both of them are in enormous demand thanks to increased artificial intelligence (AI) data center build-outs.
With the data center build-out not slowing down anytime soon, that will further increase supply pressure on these components. When demand is high and supply is low, commodity prices skyrocket, and that mechanism has pushed Micron's stock far higher during the past few months. But it could easily go even higher.
Today's Change

Micron told investors that it expects the shortage in the memory chip market to persist beyond 2027. That bodes well for its future, and that's reflected in Wall Street's projections.
For fiscal year (FY) 2027 (which ended in June), Wall Street expects Sandisk's revenue to rise 143%. Micron's FY 2026 ends next month, so using FY 2027's projections is valid. Next year, Wall Street expects 81% growth, easily meeting hypergrowth levels.
Despite that, each company's shares trade for a relatively cheap price tag.
SNDK PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts
The cheap price tag is the market pricing in skepticism of long-term memory chip prices remaining elevated. However, Micron told investors they can expect high prices for at least another year and a half, which is plenty of time for investors to make major returns with these two stocks.
Nvidia Nvidia (NVDA +0.29%) is the original hypergrowth stock in the AI realm, and it has delivered incredible returns year after year. However, 2026 hasn't been the same, and the stock is up about 13% on the year, well below historical levels. But that doesn't mean Nvidia isn't growing rapidly.
There is a huge demand for Nvidia's GPUs (graphic processing units) and other products. During its last quarter, Nvidia reported 85% revenue growth, and next quarter, Wall Street expects nearly 100% growth. That easily meets the criteria for a hypergrowth stock, and I think there is still major growth ahead.
Nvidia's stock isn't priced all that expensive at about 23 times forward earnings. Plus, there are several impending catalysts, such as its new Rubin chip architecture and increased data center spending. This year, the AI hyperscalers expect to spend about $650 billion on data center capacity increases. Next year, Nvidia estimates that figure could top $1 trillion.
Nvidia likely has information about future orders, so trusting what it says is a pretty safe bet. That makes Nvidia a strong candidate to continue putting up strong results while its revenue rises at a rapid rate, especially considering its size.
I think Nvidia, Micron, and Sandisk are among the most impressive companies available on the market right now, and their growth status will propel their stocks to new heights during the next year or so.
Silence Therapeutics (SLN) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions might not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Futu To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options
If you purchased or acquired securities in Futu between May 24, 2023 and May 27, 2026 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).
[You may also click here for additional information]
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Futu Holdings Limited("Futu" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FUTU) and reminds investors of the August 25, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Futu was not in compliance with the requirements of the CSRC, including because the Company continued to conduct securities business, public fund sales business and futures business in mainland China without obtaining the requisite licenses or approval; (2) as a result, Futu was reasonably likely to face regulatory penalties, including the disgorgement of ill-gotten gains and other penalties; (3) as a result of the foregoing, Futu's financial results were overstated; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
On May 22, 2026, pre-market, Futu issued a press release allegedly disclosing that it had received a notification letter from the CSRC stating that "certain Futu entities in mainland China and Hong Kong . . . without obtaining the requisite licenses or approval, conducted securities business, public fund sales business and futures business in mainland China" and that the CSRC "proposes to order the Related Companies to rectify or cease such activities, confiscate illegal gains, and impose fines, with the total proposed penalty amounting to approximately RMB1.85 billion (approximately USD271 million)." The Futu class action lawsuit further alleges that the regulatory authority "proposes to impose a personal fine of RMB1.25 million (approximately USD 183,575) on Mr. LI Hua, the founder and CEO of the Company." On this news, the price of Futu stock fell more than 27%, according to the complaint.
Then, on May 28, 2026, before the market opened, Futu issued a press release reporting financial results for the first quarter of 2026, allegedly including the proposed penalties comprised of "(i) confiscation of illegal gains of approximately RMB470 million [approximately $69.21 million USD] and (ii) imposition of fines of approximately RMB1.38 billion in an aggregate amount of approximately RMB1.85 billion." On this news, the price of Futu stock declined nearly 5%, according to the complaint.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Futu's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
To learn more about the Futu Holdings Limited class action, go to www.faruqilaw.com/FUTU or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Investors Regarding the Futu Holdings Limited Securities Class Action Lawsuit:
What is the Futu Holdings Limited securities fraud lawsuit about?
The lawsuit alleges that Futu misled investors by failing to disclose it was conducting certain securities, public fund sales, and futures businesses in mainland China without required CSRC licenses or approvals.

Who may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit?

Eligibility depends on the specific facts of each investor's transactions and losses.
What is a lead plaintiff, and how can I seek appointment?
A lead plaintiff is the investor appointed by the court to represent the interests of all class members during the litigation. Generally, the investor with the largest financial interest who meets the legal requirements may be selected. Investors seeking appointment must file a motion with the court by the August 25, 2026 deadline through counsel of their choice.
What should investors do if they purchased Futu Holdings Limited stock during the Class Period?
Investors who purchased Futu securities during the Class Period should review their investment records, preserve relevant documents, and consider contacting counsel to understand their legal rights. Those interested in serving as lead plaintiff must act before the August 25, 2026 deadline, while investors who do not seek that role may still remain eligible to share in any potential recovery.

Renowned investor George Noble didn't mince words when it came to Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX 0.59%), saying that its initial public offering (IPO) was "built to separate retail investors from their money." Noble, who ran Fidelity's first international fund, estimates the stock has a fair value of about $30; that would mean about 80% downside as of this writing. Although I don't think the stock will fall to those levels, I do agree that SpaceX is extremely overvalued, and I would stay away from its shares.
Noble noted that SpaceX's early gains were largely a "manufactured squeeze," made possible by the company selling less than 5% of its shares and then getting the popular Nasdaq-100 index to rewrite its rules to include it early, without meeting normal requirements. He added that the IPO was one of the largest wealth transfers ever packaged into a fanciful story, and that the impending lock-ups, letting early investors sell shares, would be a catalyst to drive down the stock price.
Calling Starlink a "wonderful business" worth hundreds of billions of dollars, Noble said that it was the only part of SpaceX's story that wasn't science fiction, but that it was worth much less than $2 trillion, roughly SpaceX's current market value. He finished up by saying, "This is the most grossly overpriced stock at scale that I have ever seen."

A stock valued on hopes, dreams, and unrealistic expectations SpaceX's satellite internet business, Starlink, is currently the company's only profitable operation. I agree with Noble that Starlink is a nice business, but worth nowhere near $2 trillion. It can offer internet services to airlines, and provide gap coverage to mobile providers in remote areas. However, Starlink is unlikely to become a full-fledged mobile operator without actually buying one.
There are technical and regulatory hurdles; one of the biggest is that satellite internet doesn't work well in modern office buildings, because of their construction. The service would also be overwhelmed in large cities and suburban areas. That means that Starlink is a nice business, but not one that will take over the world by any stretch.
One of SpaceX's big ambitions is to build data centers in space, which Elon Musk recently said could happen next year. It won't. Once again, the technology is not there for this to happen within the next year. Chips need to be developed that will not be compromised by cosmic radiation, and systems need to be developed that could handle cooling artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in the vacuum of space.
Other proposed businesses, like asteroid mining and terrestrial cargo transportation, also face obstacles. The extraction tools for mass asteroid mining still need to be developed, and the economics are uncertain, as bringing mass quantities of a raw material to Earth could crash those markets. Meanwhile, one-hour cargo journeys here on Earth would face safety, regulatory, and infrastructure hurdles -- and would likely require cooperation between the U.S. and China to make them feasible, a prospect that seems unlikely anytime soon.
Many of SpaceX's ambitions also center around the Starship initiative, the company's huge next-generation reusable rocket platform. Starship's 13th test flight is scheduled for July 16, but the rocket is not planned to reach full Earth orbit, and whether the company can recover both stages remains unclear.

If Elon Musk had a history of underpromising and overdelivering, it would be easy to see why investors would be excited about SpaceX stock, but the opposite is true. Musk's stated deadlines for projects such as colonizing Mars, a hyperloop connecting Los Angeles to San Francisco, Tesla's Optimus robots, and Tesla's autonomous-driving and robotaxi services have all been badly missed. In fact, an analysis by The New York Times tracking over 600 of his public predictions and commitments found that fewer than 20% were delivered on schedule.
For a growth stock whose price is solely based on the future, that's not the track record I'd want to see. Investors will likely keep the stock price higher than it should be, but I still wouldn't want to buy into it right now.

It has also supported larger financing rounds for companies developing launch systems, satellite networks, defense technologies and other orbital infrastructure.
"We've seen a clear increase in investor interest over the past year, which has been supported by the SpaceX IPO, but also reflects broader investor recognition of the commercial maturity of the sector," said Lucas Bishop, investment analyst at the British investment firm.
"We are seeing increased inbound from investors with limited or no prior space exposure, who are now looking to build positions in the category."
While Bishop said the first half of 2026 represented an exceptional period for fundraising and quarterly totals may fluctuate, he said the industry's underlying investment drivers remained strong.
Investors said interest was also increasingly focused on companies serving defense and national security customers, as well as businesses developing in-space computing capabilities, reflecting expectations that governments and commercial customers will boost spending in those areas.
Space companies raised about $7.5 billion across 141 venture funding deals in the second quarter, compared with a record $8 billion across 159 deals in the previous quarter.
"We are now seeing investors put more money into larger funding rounds for established space businesses. That will mean there's more capital for companies that have already proved their technology works, that there's clear demand, and that now's the time to scale," said Felix von Schubert, executive partner at NewSpace Capital.
Investors will be watching whether Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin completes its reported plan to raise about $10 billion.
The transaction could become among the largest private fundraises in the sector's history and extend one of the strongest periods of capital formation the commercial space industry has seen.

SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) stock fell below its initial public offering (IPO) price of $135 for the first time on Wednesday, July 15.
The stock dropped as low as $132.28 during the session as investors reassessed the company’s valuation, before it recovered slightly to close at $135.27.
At the current price, SpaceX shares are more or less back at the IPO price. However, they are down roughly 16% from their closing price of $160 on June 12, when the space company went public, and about 36% from the record price of around $211 on June 16.
Now, the company has a market cap of $1.78 trillion, marking a notable retreat from the $2.9 trillion recorded just four days after the IPO.
SpaceX stock price chart (1M). Source: Finbold SpaceX stock price continues to decline The decline highlights how quickly investor enthusiasm can fade, even for a company backed by Elon Musk and involved with key growth narratives such as artificial intelligence (AI). Primarily, the selloff comes as investors reassess SpaceX’s valuation and financial outlook as the first earnings date in August draws near.
Among the key concerns is SpaceX’s $4.9 billion net loss in 2025 as heavy investment in AI infrastructure and Starship development weighed on its bottom line. The stock’s inclusion in the NASDAQ 100 failed to reverse the decline, with shares down about 13% since joining the index.
Analysts expect SpaceX’s revenue to reach between $34 billion and $43 billion this year (versus $18.7 billion in 2025), supported by continued Starlink subscriber growth and expanding AI computing contracts.
However, investors are also preparing for a potential increase in selling pressure in late 2026. Notably, insider share unlocks expected after the company reports its second-quarter results in August could significantly increase the public float, allowing eligible employees and early investors to sell portions of their holdings.
Still, SpaceX remains among the top ten largest publicly traded companies in the world.

CompaniesJuly 16 (Reuters) - AI models from leading labs including Anthropic and OpenAI are much less likely to criticize governments known for restricting free speech, Meta's (META.O), opens new tab Oversight Board said on Thursday.
A study, the first on large language models by the body, showed AI services were echoing the rules of countries that restrict speech and that bias could creep into services used by an increasing number of users.

The board, which is funded by Meta but operates independently, ran requests for politically critical content on 10 jurisdictions across 10 models, including those from Meta Platforms, Google (GOOGL.O), opens new tab and China's DeepSeek.
The jurisdictions were split into "permissive" and "restrictive" categories using rankings from Freedom House, the NGO that publishes the annual "Freedom in the World" report.
AI models refused 34% of requests for politically critical content about "restrictive" jurisdictions that have active laws penalizing such criticism, such as China and Saudi Arabia, compared with 14% for regions that either lack such laws or do not enforce them, the study found.
"We also saw evidence of models explaining that they were following explicit rules that, as far as we could tell, did not exist and were not evenly applied," the board said.
It also urged AI companies to conduct systematic human rights analyses and asked for greater transparency in their training and evaluation processes.

Traders on Polymarket have sharply scaled back bets that a Tesla-SpaceX merger will be announced this year, even as Wall Street analysts insist a tie-up is only a matter of time.
The prediction market now puts just an 11% chance on an official announcement by 30 September, down 28 percentage points, while the odds of a deal being unveiled by 31 December have fallen 19 points to 24%.
More than $836,000 has been wagered across the market, which resolves yes if either company announces it is being acquired by or merged with the other, regardless of whether the deal completes.
The retreat contrasts with bullish calls from analysts, with Wedbush's Dan Ives putting the odds of a Tesla-SpaceX tie-up at about 80% and arguing the connective tissue between the companies is already forming.
Speculation intensified after SpaceX's $85.7 billion initial public offering, which created a company now valued at around $2.44 trillion with $100.8 billion in cash.
SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell declined to dismiss the idea when asked directly in June, suggesting a tie-up might make Elon Musk's life a little easier.
Musk has exercised 304 million Tesla options, lifting his voting stake to 19.9% as he targets the 25% control he says is needed to advance the carmaker's AI ambitions.
The two companies already share extensive commercial ties, including joint ownership of the Terafab chip facility, and SpaceX bought $697 million of Tesla's Megapack battery systems in 2024 and 2025.
Musk has form for consolidation, having folded social media platform X into xAI in 2025 before SpaceX acquired xAI in an all-stock deal this year.
Musk himself has acknowledged the complexity, telling analysts that any deal would have to make sure Tesla shareholders are served and SpaceX shareholders are served.
Tesla Inc. NASDAQ: TSLA shares have been consolidating ahead of the company's July 22 Q2 earnings report, with the stock's recent range continuing to narrow. That kind of price-action tightening is often a sign that the market is firmly in wait-and-see mode.
However, Tesla recently delivered a surprisingly strong data point that might just swing the balance in favor of the bulls. Earlier this month, the company reported record quarterly deliveries of 480,126 vehicles, beating consensus estimates by 18%. Just as importantly, deliveries outpaced production, a sign that inventory levels are healthy heading into the report rather than being propped up by discounting or channel stuffing.
Get Tesla alerts:
On paper, that's exactly the kind of headline that should silence at least some of the critics who’ve been questioning demand, worrying about Chinese competition, and flagging a valuation that leaves little room for disappointment.
The real question is whether it could actually translate into the kind of knockout earnings report that proves the bears wrong and gets the stock turning north again.
Its EV Business Has Some Life Left YetIt's worth noting that this delivery beat has arrived just as Tesla's core EV business has been looking its most vulnerable. Slowing growth, mounting competition, and questions over demand had combined to leave its established car business looking increasingly tired in recent months.
And while much of the investor focus has indeed shifted to other parts of the business, this latest number is the clearest sign yet that there might be some juice left in its EV business.
What makes that all the more compelling is that the stock hasn't really moved to reflect that shift. Deliveries beating estimates by roughly 18% is the kind of print that would usually spark a meaningful jump in shares. Instead, they’ve barely budged, which suggests the market either hasn't fully absorbed the news or remains too nervous to commit ahead of the report.
Why Margins Could Actually Matter MoreFor all the enthusiasm around the delivery beat, the real swing factor for the July 22 report could be the company’s gross margin. Deliveries can tell investors how many cars Tesla sold, but the margins tell them how profitably it sold them, and that's ultimately the number the market cares most about.
Gross margin deterioration has been flagged repeatedly as one of the company’s primary headwinds, and for good reason. Tesla has leaned on price cuts and incentives at various points over the past few years to keep volumes moving. If that dynamic shows up again in the Q2 numbers, it could easily offset the goodwill generated by the delivery beat.
The AI and Robotics Story Adds Another LayerFor those tempted to lean into the potential upside surprise in the Q2 earnings report, several other factors support the bull case. Beyond the core automotive business, Tesla's non-EV ambitions have been quietly gathering momentum, and they are likely to feature heavily in how investors judge the update.
The ongoing rollout of its robotaxi service is a good example, with Tesla recently expanding the offering to Miami. Its energy storage business has also been climbing steadily, emerging as an additional high-margin growth engine in its own right.
Add in the continued progress on its Full Self-Driving and Optimus initiatives, and the picture that emerges is of a company whose growth story no longer rests solely on vehicle sales. For a stock that's often been valued as much for its future potential as for its present-day earnings, that broadening base of momentum gives the bulls plenty to point to heading into the earnings report.

For those currently watching from the wings, the reality remains that Tesla is a famously divisive ticker, a sentiment that hasn't shifted despite the recent delivery strength. Wall Street's overall consensus rating remains a Hold, underscoring the split. Wells Fargo reiterated its Underweight rating, while other analysts have continued to focus on Tesla's long-term AI and robotics potential.
It’s this kind of divergence that places so much weight on the earnings call. If Tesla can pair healthy margins with some genuinely bullish updates to its newer growth engines, it should be enough to swing the narrative firmly back toward the bulls.
However, should those numbers miss the mark, the long-standing questions about its premium valuation will likely linger, regardless of how many cars were delivered last quarter. Either way, the coming days should finally offer some clarity on which side of the argument has been getting it right.

The AI boom is creating opportunities across semiconductors, cloud computing, enterprise software, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and automation.
Inside this report, you’ll find 10 companies positioned to benefit as artificial intelligence moves from hype to real-world deployment and becomes a core growth driver for corporate America.
There are plenty of artificial intelligence (AI) stocks to choose from these days, and many of them have very impressive returns. But if I had $500 to put toward just one AI stock right now, it would have to be Alphabet (GOOGL +3.15%) (GOOG +3.57%).
It might not seem like the obvious choice, considering that some AI stocks, like Micron Technology and Advanced Micro Devices, are up 674% and 280%, respectively, over the past 12 months. Meanwhile, Alphabet has gained about 98%.
Here's why I'd put my money on Alphabet right now.
Image source: Alphabet.
Alphabet can benefit from long-term AI opportunities Unlike AI hardware companies, Alphabet is a software-and-services play, which gives it the potential to continue benefiting even after the initial AI infrastructure boom has cooled. For example, Alphabet's Google Gemini chatbot already has 900 million users and is firmly integrated into Google's ecosystem of services and software, including Android, Google Workspace, Search, YouTube, and other services.
This means that for years to come, hundreds of millions of users will use Google Gemini as their AI service, even after the semiconductor boom has faded. What's more, the company is already benefiting from AI, with sales in its Google Cloud segment (which houses AI revenue) rising 63% to $20 billion in Q1 2026.
Additionally, Apple is reportedly paying Google $1 billion annually for use of Gemini in the new version of its Siri AI. It seems Apple has picked its AI horse to bet on, which could lead to long-term AI sales for Alphabet and give it an edge over other chatbots from OpenAI and Anthropic.
All of the above give Alphabet many opportunities to upsell users to more AI features, potentially generate more AI revenue from the Apple deal, and add more cloud revenue through additional artificial intelligence services.

Alphabet is highly profitable, and its shares are relatively cheap Another important reason why I'd choose Alphabet as my top AI stock right now is that it is very profitable -- earnings jumped 82% year over year to $5.11 per share in Q1 2026 -- and the company had more than $10 billion in free cash flow in the quarter.
I can't ignore that Alphabet is spending a lot of money on AI infrastructure -- up to $190 billion this year alone. But its profits and strong free cash flow position mean investors don't need to be overly concerned about the company's financial picture. The company's spending will likely eventually slow down once enough AI infrastructure is in place.
Just as impressive is that, even with Alphabet in a leading position in AI, with plenty of cash and profitability, the company's shares are reasonably priced right now. Alphabet stock has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of just 27, well below the average P/E ratio of 34.
When you add it all up, I think it's a pretty solid case for putting $500 (or more) toward Alphabet right now. It might not be the highest-flying stock, but I think it has the potential to go the furthest.
Few events are more exciting for investors than the quarterly filing of Form 13Fs with regulators. A 13F is a required filing for money managers overseeing at least $100 million in assets. Although 13F filings detailing second-quarter trading activity aren't due until Aug. 14, investors tracking Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA 0.52%)(BRKB 0.56%) don't have to wait that long to determine which stocks Warren Buffett's successor, Greg Abel, has been buying.
Thanks to several other regulatory filings, we know that Abel scooped up shares of four powerhouse stocks in the second quarter: Alphabet (GOOGL +3.15%)(GOOG +3.57%), Mitsubishi (MTSUY +0.57%), Marubeni (MARUY +2.78%), and Sumitomo (SSUMY +0.00%).

Buffett's protégé piled into a virtual monopoly It's no secret that Google parent Alphabet is a favorite of Berkshire Hathaway's new boss. During the March-ended quarter, Berkshire's 13F shows that 36,403,656 Class A shares (GOOGL) and 3,585,215 Class C shares (GOOG) were purchased.
But on June 1, Alphabet announced plans to raise $80 billion (which it later upped to $84.75 billion) through an equity offering to fund its artificial intelligence (AI) data center build-out. Berkshire agreed to buy $10 billion ($5 billion of each share class) via a private placement. Although Berkshire hasn't confirmed that this private placement was completed, it likely closed before the end of the quarter.

Alphabet provides the sustainable moat that Berkshire's current and former bosses appreciate. Google holds a virtual monopoly on global internet search traffic, with a 91% share as of June 2026, according to GlobalStats. It's also the parent of streaming platform YouTube, the second-most-visited social site on the planet. Between Google and YouTube, Alphabet sports exceptional ad pricing power.
However, Alphabet's growth story is all about cloud infrastructure services platform, Google Cloud, and its integration of generative AI and large language model solutions. During the first quarter, Google Cloud's sales skyrocketed 63%, which is noteworthy given that cloud margins are considerably higher than ad margins.

Abel's fascination with Japan's trading houses continues Prior to Warren Buffett's retirement as Berkshire Hathaway's CEO, he penned an annual letter to shareholders where he outlined eight stocks that he believed were "indefinite" holdings. Among them were all five members of the sogo shosha (i.e., Japan's trading houses): Mitsubishi, Marubeni, Sumitomo, Itochu, and Mitsui.
Abel played an instrumental role in facilitating Berkshire's initial investments in the sogo shosha, which began in the summer of 2019 and were first made public in August 2020. Since Buffett's retirement, Abel has continued to hike his company's stake in these broad-reaching companies, with purchases of Mitsubishi, Marubeni, and Sumitomo reported by Japanese regulators between April 30 and May 12.

Arguably, the most attractive aspect of Japan's five trading houses is their valuations. Amid the backdrop of the second-priciest stock market in U.S. history, Mitsubishi, Marubeni, and Sumitomo are trading at 21, 15, and 13 times trailing 12-month earnings per share, respectively.
Furthermore, Japan's trading houses are known for robust capital-return programs, including dividends and share buybacks, as well as modest executive compensation packages. The shareholder-first, long-term ethos of the sogo shosha aligns with the philosophies of Warren Buffett and his successor.
Hyperscalers -- the giant AI companies now racing to build AI data centers as quickly as possible -- have been issuing reams of corporate debt over the past year to fund their efforts.
Morgan Stanley estimates that AI-related global debt issuance totaled $236 billion as of May 31 -- 4 times as much as one year prior. And the investment bank expects AI bond issuance to grow to $570 billion by the end of 2026.
Just four companies, Meta Platforms (META +3.06%), Alphabet (GOOGL +3.15%)(GOOG +3.57%), Amazon (AMZN +2.97%), and Microsoft (MSFT +2.70%), are expected to spend a total $700 billion on capex this year, with most of it going toward AI-related outlays, and the forecasts suggest that over the next few years, such spending is only going increase. Such companies have long relied on strong cash flows to cover their capital investment needs, but the sheer scale of the AI data center build-out has sent the hyperscalers to the bond market for funding.

At first, investors rushed to snap up the bonds issued by these companies. But they're rapidly losing their appetite for all this AI-related debt.
Demand for hyperscaler debt is waning How do we know?
Well, cover ratios -- the ratio of asset demand to supply -- for hyperscaler bonds have decreased markedly this year, from 5x in February to just 2x in July. That's according to Apollo Global Management. That suggests that if these AI companies want to keep borrowing via bond issuance, they're going to have to pay higher rates on the bonds they issue, Apollo says.

That's not the only AI debt investors are growing tired of. I recently wrote about the debt issued by Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX 0.61%), better known as SpaceX, which went public in June. Investors were eager to get their hands on SpaceX stock, bidding it briefly up to more than $225 in the first couple of days, far above its opening trading price of $150. As of the close of trading Wednesday, the stock had fallen back to $135.27 -- just a hair above its IPO price.

Bond investors have been much more skeptical of SpaceX. The company's bonds were recently trading at an average 1.62-percentage-point premium over Treasuries, a credit spread that puts them in the BB category, which is technically non-investment grade, also known as "high-yield" or "junk" bonds. SpaceX carries a whopping $29 billion in long-term debt.
For all of these companies, the trends in bond prices, demand, and spreads may be an early warning signal to equity investors. That's because bond investors tend to prioritize capital preservation and cash flow, so changes in bond prices and demand can indicate shifts in a company's financial health before they appear in the stock market.
Of course, the AI revolution is still young, and these massive AI investments, while still a bit speculative, could certainly pay off in a big way. But investors in hyperscaler stocks would do well to keep an eye on the bond market, too.

Advanced Micro Devices stock (NASDAQ: AMD) was heading for a second straight decline on Thursday despite bullish Wall Street research.
AMD fell about 3.2% to $513 in premarket trading after dropping 3.5% on Wednesday, putting the stock on course for a two-session fall of about 6%.
The weakness reflected a wider retreat from semiconductor stocks and concern that AMD’s elevated valuation leaves little room for delays in its ambitious AI roadmap.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 2.6% on Wednesday and ended about 16.5% below its June 22 high.
The Roundhill Memory ETF dropped roughly 7%, extending its decline from the recent peak to around 30%.

Semiconductor shares delivered enormous gains in 2026 as chip shortages, rising prices and artificial-intelligence investment drove earnings forecasts higher.
That success has made the group vulnerable whenever investors question how long that growth can continue.
As per market data, the semiconductor index remained sharply higher for the year even after its July correction, while short interest and exchange-traded fund outflows had risen.
Alexander Lis, chief investment officer at SD Ventures, cautioned that target increases may partly reflect share-price momentum rather than guarantee future returns.
Rosenblatt Securities analyst Kevin Cassidy raised his AMD target to $665 from $490 and retained a Buy rating.
“We recommend owning AMD shares into the earnings report,” Cassidy said, according to TipRanks, citing EPYC server strength and AMD’s advantage following delays to Intel’s Diamond Rapids product.
UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri lifted his target to $700 from $670 and kept a Buy rating.
In a note reported, Arcuri said AMD’s July 22-23 AI event should highlight durable CPU and GPU roadmaps, possible partnerships and a broader data-centre market, while supply-chain checks remained supportive.
KeyBanc analyst John Vinh made the most aggressive call, raising his target to $725 from $530.
Vinh expects AMD’s AI GPU revenue to rise from $16.8 billion in 2026 to $48.5 billion in 2027 as additional server-processor capacity and the MI455 and Helios ramps support growth.
William Blair analyst Sebastien Naji provides the clearest explanation for the sell-off.
He initiated coverage at Market Perform, warning that AMD’s rally had left the shares “priced at a premium to peers with little room for error.”
Naji estimated AMD was trading at 33 times 2027 earnings.
He also questioned how long server-CPU share gains can continue as Arm-based processors, Qualcomm, Nvidia and a recovering Intel increase competition.
In accelerators, AMD must still prove it can take durable share from Nvidia while hyperscalers develop their own chips.
Performance remains strong as first-quarter revenue rose 38% to $10.3 billion, while Data Center revenue jumped 57% to $5.8 billion.
AMD guided for second-quarter revenue of approximately $11.2 billion.
The concern is therefore not weak demand today, but how much success the valuation already assumes.

Nvidia unveiled a new AI model for robots and vision AI agents on Wednesday, deepening its push into the physical AI market in Japan.
The company's new model, Cosmos 3 Edge, is a so-called world model, designed to help systems perceive and navigate physical environments in real time. Cosmos 3 edge is a World models are systems that can learn from a wider range of inputs compared to large language models (LLMs). The rollout follows the launch of Cosmos 3 in May.
The regional expansion takes center stage during CEO Jensen Huang's two-day visit to Japan, where the Silicon Valley chip giant is expanding its physical AI footprint by forming a coalition that local industrial giants, including Fujitsu, Hitachi, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, intend to join, according to Nvidia.
"The next frontier of AI is in the physical world, and this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Japan," Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in a Wednesday statement. "Japan invented modern manufacturing. Now, it has the opportunity to reinvent it for the age of intelligent industries."
The tech giant's partnership with Japanese firms comes just months after Microsoft's $10 billion investment in the country, which aims to build out AI infrastructure and beef up cybersecurity. Japanese investment giant SoftBank has bet heavily on the boom in AI. It's looking to partner with Microsoft and Sakura Internet to develop AI in Japan.
Japan's AI market is expected to reach $27.9 billion by 2029, opening doors for U.S. firms to invest, according to the International Trade Administration. This growth is driven by Tokyo's active push to promote AI adoption across industries, coupled with the eagerness of local firms to forge international partnerships.
Ajay Rajadhyaksha, global chairman of research at Barclays, told CNBC last month that the country holds an advantage in Asia, driven by its diverse AI and clean structural growth stories.
Nvidia's partnership pushNvidia is also aggressively expanding its AI footprint into Japan's healthcare and biotechnology sectors by extending its reach into agentic AI for advanced sciences through new drug discovery and medical robotics initiatives.
When it comes to agentic AI, Nvidia highlighted the ongoing expansion of Tokyo-1, the AI drug discovery consortium operated by Xeureka, a Mitsui subsidiary. The platform, which has steadily grown since its initial announcement in 2023, is powered by the Nvidia BioNeMo Agent Toolkit, a platform for accelerating autonomous AI drug discovery.
Japan's pharmaceutical heavyweights are already scaling their involvement. Major drugmakers, including Astellas Pharma Inc, Daiichi Sankyo, and Ono Pharmaceutical are utilizing Nvidia's specialized biology toolkit to streamline their workflows, the U.S. company said in a blog post.
Beyond biotech, Nvidia said it is making inroads into industrial automation through a partnership with Kawasaki Heavy Industries.

Walmart truck drivers earn an average annual salary of $109,000. Walmart Artificial intelligence is reshaping work, but Walmart says the tech isn't shaking its need for people to power its growing business.
With more than 2.1 million workers, Walmart is not only the largest private employer in the world — it's also one of the broadest.
Behind the cart-pushers, shelf-stockers, and order-pickers, there are teams of truck drivers, supply chain managers, and data engineers who keep the business moving. Many of them got their start in hourly roles, including CEO John Furner and former chief Doug McMillon.
"It's really all careers, and that's what makes it exciting for our associates," Walmart's chief people officer Donna Morris told Business Insider. "I might start as a frontline associate, but my pathway could lead me in so many different directions."
Like many large companies, Walmart is betting heavily on an AI-powered future, but Morris said people remain at the heart of the retailer's growth strategy. The company's jobs board lists nearly 41,000 active openings with another 273,000 future roles.
"The reality is we are a service-driven organization, which means we're going to have a lot of jobs always," she said.
"We also believe that technology absolutely should serve people," she said. "But it should be done in a manner that people actually end up having better jobs and better careers over time."
Walmart is sharing its first-ever jobs spotlight, highlighting 10 career pathways at the company that it said are (and will continue to be) in high demand, many of which lead to six-figure salaries.
Some, like store and club managers and team leads, are straightforward tracks at a company that operates more than 10,000 locations around the world.
Others, like data engineers and advertising sales associates, represent the white-collar opportunities at the retail giant. The tech division laid off about 1,000 workers in May, a move its leadership said was intended to address duplication within certain teams.
And then there are the higher-paying blue-collar jobs where Walmart is training store workers to become truck drivers and skilled trades technicians.
Earlier this year, the company said it graduated its 1,000th truck driver through the program and that more than 600 associates had completed training to become HVAC specialists, electricians, or maintenance techs.
Beyond these re-skilling programs, Walmart said more than 126,000 employees have completed training through its online education portal for everything from AI certificates to four-year degrees.
Morris said she was surprised by the total.
"I should know that because I lead the function, but when you see quarter after quarter, you don't necessarily see it cumulatively," she said.
At a time when companies continue to cite AI in their decisions to shed workers, Morris also said large employers like Walmart have a responsibility to demonstrate optimism about their need for people and the opportunities it presents.
"The economy needs people to be working," she said. "The more the narrative is about people not working, the more it's frankly disruptive to everyone, and counterproductive to people's well-being."
Here is Walmart's full list of its most in-demand careers:Advertising SalesUS base pay range: $90,000 to $234,000 a yearTypical career path: Account Management > Sales Associate > Sales Loader > Senior Sales LeaderStore ManagerUS base pay range: $95,000 to $170,000 a yearTypical career path: Team Associate > Team Lead > Coach > Store ManagerData EngineerUS base pay range: $90,000 to $234,000 a yearTypical career path: Analyst > Data Engineer > Senior EngineerFacility Services TechnicianUS base pay range: $26 to $76 an hourTypical career path: Entry-Level Technician > Certified Technician > Senior TechnicianSupply Chain General ManagerUS base pay range: $116,000 to $351,000 a yearTypical career path: Area Manager > Operations Manager > General ManagerPrivate Fleet DriverUS base pay: Walmart drivers averaged more than $109,000 over the past yearTypical career path: Driver Trainee > Truck Driver > Senior Driver/TrainerPharmacistUS base pay range: $98,000 to $172,000 a yearTypical career path: Pharmacy Intern > Staff Pharmacist › Pharmacy Manager > Market DirectorStore/Club Team LeadUS base pay range: $19 to $40 an hourTypical career path: Associate > Team Lead > Coach/ManagerClub ManagerUS base pay range: $110,000 to $160,000 a yearTypical career path: Assistant Manager > Co-Manager > Club ManagerRealty Project CoachBase pay range: $50,000 to $143,000 a yearTypical career path: Field Role > Project Specialist > Realty Project Coach

The stock market has been a difficult beast to understand. While the market has been on a multiyear bull run, investors are on edge, as numerous warning signs have emerged that suggest it might be time to head to the sidelines.
However, the market has so far shrugged these off and continued to move higher despite significant volatility.
Not all investors may want to lean in at such an uncertain time. Still, leaving money in cash and trying to time the market has never been a winning strategy. Instead, investors may want to seek more reliable dividend stocks, which can generate steady passive income annually.
Here are two dividend stocks yielding at least 5.9% and that have annually increased their dividends for at least 50 years.
Image source: Getty Images.
Altria Group -- 5.9% Altria Group (MO +0.51%) is one of the leading tobacco companies in the world. It also owns many smoke-free tobacco brands, as well as investments in cannabis. Some of its notable brands include Marlboro, Copenhagen, and on! nicotine pouches.
The company's long-standing business also allowed it to become a Dividend King, a company that has paid and raised its annual dividend for at least 50 years. Only 57 companies in the market can boast such a feat.
Altria is currently on pace to pay $4.24 in dividends, excluding any future increases. Meanwhile, management is guiding for $5.56 to $5.72 in adjusted diluted earnings per share, giving the company about a 75% dividend payout ratio.

Altria also has a free-cash-flow yield of about 7.13%, which also covers the annual dividend, so the company clearly has room to raise it this year.
Altria stock has also enjoyed a strong year, with shares up nearly 26% (as of July 13). In the first quarter of the year, Altria managed to grow revenue net of excise taxes by 5.2%, despite smokeable product shipments being down 2.3% year over year. Operating margins expanded 1.8% year over year to 65%, largely thanks to pricing adjustments.
Meanwhile, the company continued to see revenue growth in its oral tobacco division, despite year-over-year margin contraction. Low- to mid-single-digit-percentage projected earnings growth in 2027 should also continue to support modest increases in the dividend moving forward.
Universal Corp -- 6.5% Another Dividend King, Universal Corp (UVV +0.52%) has paid and raised its annual dividend for 56 consecutive years. Universal Corp operates in a sector similar to Altria's, serving as the leading global leaf tobacco supplier to companies that make consumer tobacco products.
The company also has an ingredients division that produces specialty plant-based ingredients, such as fruits, vegetables, and flavorings, used by food and beverage companies in their products. The stock took a hit in early February, as the company's quarterly results revealed excess supply in the leaf tobacco business, and the ingredients segment also experienced softer demand and pressure due to tariffs.

In its most recent fiscal 2026 fourth quarter, which ended on March 31 of this year, the company did manage to grow revenue 2% year over year but struggled due to a nonrecurring, noncash goodwill charge and some tobacco investor write-downs.
Still, the company increased its quarterly dividend by a penny in May for an annual dividend of $3.32 per share. Analysts covering the stock project adjusted earnings per share of $4.30 in its current fiscal year. Free cash flow in Universal's last fiscal year nearly covered the dividend, despite the significant goodwill charge. The company should be able to pay and raise its annual dividend going forward.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2026) - Dryden Gold Corp. (TSXV: DRY) (OTCQX: DRYGF) (FSE: X7W) ("Dryden Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received the exploration permit for its Mud Lake target. The permit allows Dryden Gold to drill test extension targets identified through its 2025 drill program and geological mapping. Surface samples collected on a high-grade shear zone similar to Elora, where a significant fold in the mineralized structure occurs, assayed 93.00 g/t gold (Figure 1). This target is north of the previously permitted area and indicates a repetition that demonstrates the potential to extend the known mineralized system providing the foundation for a much larger gold-bearing district (Figure 2). This type of structural periodicity is typical of many high-performing gold camps in Northwest Ontario, including Red Lake.
Trey Wasser, CEO of Dryden Gold stated, "Based on the data and strong geological similarities, our team believes that Mud Lake has the potential to emerge as a significant extension within the Gold Rock Camp. We are increasingly encouraged by the prospect that the Manitou Dinorwic deformation zone ("MDdz") could host multiple gold deposits along strike. Securing this drill permit is an important step toward testing the discovery potential at Mud Lake to prove periodicity, at the deposit scale. With our strong treasury providing a robust 2026 field program, our exploration teams will continue mapping and prospecting at several additional high-priority targets across the Gold Rock Camp."
Recent geological mapping at the Mud Lake target has identified a mineralized structural corridor that shares several key characteristics with Big Master and Elora at Gold Rock. The 2026 mapping program also identified an en-echelon structural trend, where high-grade gold mineralization was discovered, further strengthening the Company's geological interpretation of the target. The approved drill permit also includes the Wamsley target; another high-priority area identified during the 2025 mapping campaign (Figure 2).
At Gold Rock, exploration drilling continues to advance several high-priority targets, including a newly interpreted central mineralized corridor located between the Elora and Big Master systems. A second drill is now operating and is testing the depth extensions of the known high-grade gold zones while the other drill is expanding the structural footprint at Gold Rock. One rig will be deployed to drill Mud Lake in early August.

Thunder Bay, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2026) - Thunder Gold Corp. (TSXV: TGOL) (FSE: Z25) (OTCQB: TGOLF) ("Thunder Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce exploration diamond drill results from the UV Target, at the Company's flagship Tower Mountain Property, 40 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Six (6) holes totaling 2,937 metres targeted the down-dip projection of the main mineralized trend observed in historical diamond drill holes completed from 2002 to 2005. Three (3) holes, TM26-198, 199 and 200 targeted the projected trend 100 to 150 metres below the current bottom of the optimized pit constraining the Company's 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (the "MRE"). The remaining holes targeted gaps in the MRE where there was insufficient drill data to estimate gold grades.
Key results from the program include:
TM26-204: 142.0 metres averaging 0.668 g/t Au, including 45.0 metres averaging 1.793 g/t Au and 1.5 metres averaging 44.100 g/t Au, within and immediately adjacent to the 2026 MRE optimized pit limit.TM26-200: 238.5 metres averaging 0.259 g/t Au from 361.5 metres to 600.0 metres, consistent with historical results in TM11-63, TM04-13 and TM04-12. TM26-198: 39.0 metres averaging 0.320 g/t Au within 100 metres of surface, in a new mineralized zone immediately adjacent to the current optimized pit limit. TM26-203: 13.5 metres averaging 0.612 g/t Au from 3.0 to 16.5 metres depth in previously un-estimated rock. Full assay results, including hole locations, orientations and section references, are provided in Tables 1 and 2 below.
Drilling has confirmed that the main mineralized trend at UV continues at depth and remains open, with grades and widths consistent with historical drilling and the 2026 MRE. Importantly, multiple new zones of mineralization above the 2026 MRE cut-off grade of 0.19 g/t Au were intersected in areas previously modeled as waste, providing potential to reduce the current 1.8:1 waste-to-ore strip ratio defined within the optimized pit.
Wes Hanson, President and CEO states, "These results materially advance our understanding of the UV Target and reinforce the continuity of gold mineralization below and adjacent to the current pit shell. The step-out holes confirm that the low-grade core at UV continues at depth and remains open, while the shallow holes have identified new zones of near-surface mineralization in areas previously modeled as waste. Together, this work supports our objective of growing and upgrading the Tower Mountain resource, improving the strip ratio and enhancing the overall economics of a potential open-pit operation."
"We are now completing exploration drilling at the Bench Target along the eastern margin of the optimized pit, which will conclude the current phase of drilling focused on un-estimated areas within the 2026 MRE pit shell. We plan to commence resource definition drilling on August 1, targeting conversion of Inferred Resources to Indicated, with completion expected by September 30 and results anticipated by mid-October in advance of an updated MRE, subject to any delays related to extreme forest fire conditions in northwestern Ontario."

Section A - A' TM26-198
TM26-198 was designed to test the downward continuation of the high-grade results reported in historical drill holes TM04-09, TM04-24 and TM21-90. The current optimized pit was unable to recover the mineralization associated with TM04-24 (88.5m @ 0.989 g/t Au) and TM21-90 (138.0 m @ 0.313 g/t Au) due to the unfavourable waste : ore strip ratio to access that mineralization. TM26-198 was drilled parallel to the southwestern edge of the optimized pit limit with two objectives:
Evaluate the down-dip continuity of the interpreted sub-vertical low-grade envelope; andEvaluate the potential for "new" mineralization external to the current optimized pit limit.
The UV low-grade mineralization was projected between 400 and 600 metres downhole. TM26-198 intersected a flat lying fault at the predicted upper contact of the low-grade trend and there is a definite increase in the number of individual samples above the targeted cutoff grade of 0.20 g/t Au. However, results are scattered and inconsistent throughout the projected target. The higher grade (1.0 to 10.0 g/t Au) feldspar porphyries, common in the upper drill holes, were absent throughout the target horizon, suggesting that TM26-198 is drilled parallel to the high-grade feldspar porphyry intrusives. From 400 metres onward, silicification ranged from strong to intense and there is a notable decrease in both carbonate-sericite alteration and pyrite, two key factors associated with the MRE gold distribution. Further drilling is necessary to evaluate the northern edge of the UV system.
TM26-198 successfully identified a new mineralized zone immediately adjacent to the current optimized pit limit intersecting 39.0 metres averaging 0.32 g/t Au within 100 metres of surface, immediately under the current optimized pit limit. Further shallow drilling is planned to expand this zone as it has the potential to increase the inferred resource.
Section B - B' TM26-199
TM26-199 was designed to test the downward continuation of the mineralization reported in historical drill holes TM04-03 (262.5 m @ 0.405 g/t Au), TM04-07 (168.0 m @ 0.237 g/t Au) and TM05-49 (243.0 m 2 0.241 g/t Au). TM26-199 was drilled parallel to the southwestern edge of the optimized pit limit with two objectives:
Evaluate the down-dip continuity of the interpreted sub-vertical low-grade envelope; andEvaluate the potential for "new" mineralization external to the current optimized pit limit.
TM26-199 intersected scattered, narrow intervals greater than 0.20 g/t Au from surface to 390 metres depth, parallel to the southwestern edge of the 2026 MRE optimized pit limit.
TM26-199 intersected the projected low-grade core of the UV Target from 390.0 to 598.5 metres, almost exactly as predicted, 100 metres below the 2026 MRE optimized pit limit. Gold grades are consistently above 0.10 g/t Au and average 0.220 g/t across the 208.5 metre interval. These results are consistent with the historical drill results from 2002 through 2005.
Section C - C' TM26-200 and TM26-203
As with holes TM26-198 and 199, TM26-200 was designed to test the downward continuation of the low-grade core UV mineralization, 100 to 150 metres below the 2026 MRE optimized pit limit while also testing areas that were not estimated due to insufficient drill hole density.
TM26-203, a shallow hole, targeted gaps in the 2026 MRE model that were the result of insufficient drill coverage.
TM26-200 intersected 34.5 metres @ 0.282 g/t Au from the bottom of casing at 6.0 metres depth to 40.5 metres depth. The mineralization lies external to the current MRE optimized pit, in an area previously un-estimated due to insufficient drill hole density. From 40.5 metres to 361.5 metres, TM26-200 intersected scattered, narrow intervals above the 0.20 g/t Au. TM26-200 intersected 238.5 metres @ 0.282 g/t Au from 361.5 metres to the end of the hole at 600 metres. The results are consistent with the historical results in holes TM11-63 (231.0 metres @ 0.468 g/t Au), TM04-13 (246.0 metres @ 0.177 g/t Au) and TM04-12 (108.0 metres @ 0.530 g/t Au).
TM26-203 intersected 13.5 metres @ 0.612 g/t Au from the bottom of casing at 3.0 metres to `16.5 metres depth. The remaining 271.5 metres intersected scattered, narrow intervals greater than 0.20 g/t Au in what was previously un-estimated rock due to insufficient data.
Section D - D' TM26-202 and TM26-204
Holes TM26-202 and TM26-204 were drilled as 50-metre step out holes surrounding TM23-143 which reported 109.0 metres averaging 0.317 g/t Au.
TM26-202 intersected 38.0 metres @ 0.207 g/t Au over the final 38 metres of the hole. The mineralization projects vertically under TM23-143 (109.0 metres @ 0.317 g/t Au) and is interpreted to represent the southwestern contact of the low-grade core of the UV Target defined in drill sections A-A', B-B' and C-C').
TM26-204 intersected 142.0 metres @ 0.668 g/t Au including 45.0 metres @ 1.793 g/t Au within and immediately adjacent to the 2026 MRE optimized pit limit. This intersection offers excellent potential to increase the overall inferred resource as the 2026 MRE estimated this area to be waste, due to lack of drill hole coverage. Shallow follow-up drill holes are planned before September to expand this newly identified trend.

About the Tower Mountain Gold Property
The 7,625-hectare, 100%-owned Tower Mountain Property is beside the Trans-Canada highway, 40-km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario (pop. 110,000). Gold mineralization occurs in variably brecciated and altered rocks surrounding the calc-alkalic Tower Mountain Intrusive Complex. Drilling to date has established an initial mineral resource of 500,000 ozs (Indicated) with an additional 3,000,000 ozs (Inferred), parallel to the western contact of the intrusion. The remaining 75% of the contact demonstrates similar geology, alteration, and geophysical signatures and is untested by drilling. A second gold trend, identified at surface in 2026, outcrops at surface and is continuously mineralized over a 100-metre width. The gold mineralization occurs within Timiskaming-type conglomerates that can be traced along a southwest trend for over 5.0 kilometres. Both targets offer opportunity to materially increase the total resource through systematic drilling.

Grab samples up to 59.4 g/t gold and a ~1 km × 1 km sericitic-alteration target with visible gold in the surrounding drainages — a third target on Quimbaya's Segovia ground, next to Aris Mining.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2026) - Quimbaya Gold Inc. (CSE: QIM) (OTCQX: QIMGF) (FSE: K05) ("Quimbaya" or the "Company") has defined a new gold exploration target at Tahami Southeast, in the southern portion of the Company's district-scale land package in Colombia's prolific Segovia Gold District — immediately adjacent to Aris Mining's high-grade gold operations. Initial field work returned rock (grab and panel-grab) sample assays of up to 59.4 g/t gold and 52.30 g/t silver from quartz vein sub-outcrops.
Highlights

Tahami Southeast — New Gold Target Next to Aris Mining
Tahami Southeast lies in the southern portion of Quimbaya's land package in Colombia's Segovia Gold District, immediately adjacent to Aris Mining's high-grade gold operations. Initial geological mapping and prospecting have identified at least two prospecting areas, including quartz vein sub-outcrops with gold-silver high grade confirmed by gold in pan downstream (WP_7016, photo 1, figure 1); and quartz veins hosted in porphyritic granodiorite with strong sericite alteration and high gold concentration in pan (WP_0652, photo 1, figure 1). Selective grab and panel-grab sampling target sub-outcrops returned assays of up to 59.4 g/t gold and 52.30 g/t Ag. Grab and panel-grab samples are selective by nature and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization on the property.
The second target is defined by an approximately one square kilometer color anomaly, interpreted as strong sericitic alteration, that remains open in several directions, with coarse gold in pan observed in the surrounding drainages. Two principal vein trends have been mapped: a northeast trend, associated with the historic Mina Antigua and El Chicharrón workings, and a northwest trend. Active and abandoned artisanal workings within the area are under investigation. The historic Mina Antigua and El Chicharrón workings, the Guía Antigua and Chicharrón mines shown on Figure 1, and the Aris Mining operations referred to in this news release are located on properties not held by the Company; the Qualified Person has not verified the exploration information from those adjacent properties, and such information is not necessarily indicative of the mineralization at Tahami Southeast. Currently, exploration continues to advance towards the southeast of the claim.
Alexandre P. Boivin, CEO, Quimbaya Gold:
"We do what we say we will. We drilled Tahami South and we are defining the gold-silver veins systems; we confirmed the copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry at Tahami Center, and today we are adding a third target at Tahami Southeast - right next to Aris Mining. A one-square-kilometer alteration footprint with visible gold in the creeks and rock samples up to 59.4 grams per tonne is exactly the kind of early signal that warrants disciplined follow-up. We will advance it through a mapping and sampling program planned for the second half of 2026 to define drill targets, as we build Quimbaya into a company of real scale in one of the Americas' most prolific gold districts."
Portfolio Approach: De-Risking Through Multiple Targets
Tahami Southeast is a new, distinct target within Quimbaya's district-scale Segovia land package and does not change the Company's near-term focus. Disciplined exploration across a large land position has generated an additional high-quality target — the way successful exploration companies build value and de-risk their portfolios. Quimbaya now advances three independent targets: the gold-silver veins at Tahami South, the Cu-Mo-Au porphyry at Tahami Center, and the newly defined gold-silver target at Tahami Southeast. Multiple independent targets mean multiple opportunities to deliver discovery value for shareholders.
Segovia District Context
The Segovia Gold District has produced gold for over a century and hosts Aris Mining's high-grade operations. The structurally-controlled quartz veins with galena and sphalerite identified at Tahami Southeast are characteristic of the epithermal vein systems that define the district. This geological setting is provided as technical context only and is not a representation that similar results will be achieved at Tahami Southeast.

"In my opinion, the style and setting at Tahami Southeast — sericitic alteration, structurally-controlled quartz veins with galena and sphalerite, and coarse gold in the surrounding drainages — are characteristic of the epithermal systems linked with oxidized intrusion-related gold deposits of the Segovia District. I recommend that the Company advance a systematic program of geological mapping and sampling to identify and define drill targets."

Exploration Program
The Company intends to advance Tahami Southeast through systematic geological mapping, rock and channel sampling, and structural interpretation to define drill targets. This program is planned for the second half of 2026. Results will be reported as they are received and verified by the qualified person.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Samples were collected by Company personnel under the supervision of the qualified person, with locations recorded by handheld GPS. Rock and stream-sediment samples were submitted to SGS, an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory independent of the Company. The rock results reported herein are from selective grab samples, which are not necessarily representative of the mineralization on the property.
All samples were prepared and analyzed by SGS laboratories in Medellín, Colombia, and Lima, Peru. SGS Colombia and SGS Peru are ISO 17025-accredited and are independent of the Company. Gold assays were completed using fire assay methods, with multi-element analysis conducted using ICP techniques. Gold was determined by fire assay on a 30 g charge with an atomic absorption finish (SGS method code FAA313); multi-element analysis, including silver, was conducted by four-acid digestion with ICP-AES/ICP-MS finish (SGS method code ICP40B). Over-range copper assays above the upper detection limit of 1% Cu were re-analysed by ore-grade assay methods (SGS code AAS41B). Detection limits for the primary elements were Cu 0.5 ppm, Mo 1 ppm, Au 5 ppb, Pb 2 ppm, and Zn 0.5 ppm. The analytical protocols used are industry-standard for this style of vein-hosted gold-silver mineralization and are considered appropriate for the style and grade of the samples collected.
Quimbaya implemented a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program that included the regular insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and field duplicates. Control samples were inserted at an approximate rate of 15-20% throughout the sampling program. QA/QC results were reviewed by the Company's Qualified Person and are considered acceptable, supporting the reliability of the analytical data. Certified reference materials (CRMs) used included (Epi-35, Epi-41 of Target rock certificates) covering the expected grade range for Cu, Ag, and Au. CRMs returned values within ±2 standard deviations of their certified means. Coarse blank material sourced from Bureau Veritas quartz certificates returned values below 10x the detection limit for all elements of interest. Field duplicates showed an average pair correlation of R²= 0.872, within industry-accepted tolerances.
Channel samples were collected as continuous chip channels cut perpendicular to the observed structural orientation within underground workings at the Laurel mine and surface outcrops. Channel dimensions were approximately 15 cm wide up to 2m.

PepsiCo is rated a strong buy after recent weakness, offering a compelling blend of yield, growth, and undervaluation. PEP's forward CAGR is projected at 13.7–18.2%, driven by dividend growth, EPS expansion, and potential multiple re-rating toward historical averages. Guidance for organic revenue growth (2–4%) is conservative; I expect acquisitions and cost tailwinds to lift overall growth to 6%.
