Financial disclosures from the US Office of Government Ethics reveal President Donald Trump’s investment accounts have executed over 6,100 trades this year.
While these accounts are controlled by independent “third-party” managers – their moves offer a fascinating window into Wall Street’s current artificial intelligence (AI) playbook.
The most striking trend? Trump’s managers have been systematic net sellers of memory-chip firm Micron MU, while they have aggressively accumulated shares of the AI leader, Nvidia (NVDA).
For retail investors trying to navigate the volatile artificial intelligence landscape, this divergence in a high-profile portfolio raises a critical question: why favour one tech titan over the other in 2026?
Trump’s managers choosing to unload MU shares likely doesn’t have anything to do with financial weakness or structural concerns.
After all, the memory chips specialist recently posted a stunning Q3 earnings release – featuring a more than 4x increase in revenue to $41.4 billion as a global shortage doubled memory chip prices.
Micron Technology Inc is also mitigating its boom-and-bust cycles by signing multiyear contracts that secure stable, long-term pricing.
Still, Trump’s managers have trimmed holdings by up to $116,000, likely because Micron reached a stretched valuation.
With memory supply expected to catch up to demand by 2028, Wall Street anticipates a potential price correction. This prompted savvy managers to lock in massive profits before cyclical cooling begins.
That said, Wall Street analysts remain bullish as ever on Micron stock for the next 12 months.
The consensus rating on MU remains at “Buy”, with the mean price target of $1,579, according to WSJ, indicating potential upside of nearly 60% from current levels.
While NVDA stock has been rather muted for an AI darling this year, Trump accounts have bought as much as $3.7 million worth of it.
Why? Perhaps because the company remains the uncontested gold standard of AI infrastructure – controlling over 80% of the accelerator market.
Its latest financial report showed a spectacular 85% revenue leap to just under $82 billion on huge data center demand.
Plus, Nvidia’s chips are the most efficient, yielding the lowest operational cost per token for clients.
With its ultra-powerful Vera Rubin platform entering volume production and the new RTX Spark superchip poised to disrupt the personal computer market – investment managers likely see Nvidia stock as a safer, more dominant long-term compounder, especially as its forward valuation multiple sits at a major discount to its historical averages currently.
Wall Street firms are just as bullish on Nvidia stock as well.
The consensus rating remains at “Buy,” with the mean price target of about $314 signaling potential upside of about 50% from here.
Key Takeaways SK Hynix's U.S. listing sparked launches of 2X leveraged ETFs SKHL and HYNX. AI-driven HBM demand and policy support could fuel SK Hynix's long-term growth. Leveraged ETFs suit active traders only due to daily resets and higher risk. South Korean memory chip giant SK Hynix just made a debut on Wall Street under the ticker code of (SKHY - Free Report) . The stock surged 28.3% on July 14, 2026, indicating massive investor interest in the stock.
The company raised approximately $26.5 billion through the offering, making it the largest U.S. IPO ever by a foreign company, according to Bloomberg data, as mentioned on Yahoo Finance.
AI Boom Fuels Memory Chip DemandSK Hynix is benefiting from explosive demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and advanced storage chips, both of which are essential for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The rapid expansion of AI data centers has created a global shortage of memory products, affecting industries ranging from cloud computing to consumer electronics.
As one of NVIDIA's key suppliers, SK Hynix is expanding manufacturing capacity to meet rising demand driven by the global AI investment cycle.
Political Tailwind South Korea's ruling party has proposed easing regulations to allow SK Hynix to establish factory ventures with outside investors, as the government seeks to strengthen the country's position as a global AI powerhouse, per Reuters. The amendment would remove a restriction that currently prevents subsidiaries of subsidiaries in strategic high-tech industries from forming such ventures.
U.S. Listing Broadens Investor AccessThe Nasdaq listing makes SK Hynix shares significantly easier for U.S. investors to own, particularly retail investors and smaller institutional funds. No wonder, exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuers will leave no stone unturned to tap this IPO euphoria.
SK Hynix-Heavy Leveraged ETFs Hit the Market Two issuers have rolled out new leveraged exchange-traded funds tied to SK Hynix, giving U.S. traders a way to amplify exposure to one of the world's most important AI memory chipmakers following the company's recent U.S. ADR listing on July 10, 2026.
Direxion Launches SKHLDirexion introduced the Direxion Daily SK Hynix Bull 2X ETF (SKHL). SKHL seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the daily performance of the SK Hynix Inc.-sponsored American depositary receipt. The ETF is aimed at active traders looking to capitalize on short-term moves in SK Hynix, a leading supplier of HBM chips.
REX Shares and Tuttle Capital Introduce HYNXSeparately, REX Shares and Tuttle Capital Management launched the T-REX 2X Long SKHY Daily Target ETF, ticker HYNX.
Like SKHL, HYNX seeks to provide 2X the daily return of SK Hynix, before fees and expenses. The fund came just days after SK Hynix's U.S. listing, giving traders a leveraged way to gain exposure to the world's leading supplier of high-bandwidth memory, a key component used in AI data centers. The issuers highlighted SK Hynix's leadership in HBM, alongside its broader DRAM and NAND flash memory businesses.
HYNX expands the T-REX family to more than 40 leveraged and inverse single-stock ETFs, which already include products linked to Tesla, NVIDIA, and Robinhood.
Supply Constraints Could Persist for YearsIndustry analysts expect tight supply conditions in the chip market to continue through the end of the decade, as building new semiconductor fabrication facilities requires significant capital and several years to complete. To secure future supply, memory manufacturers are increasingly signing long-term agreements with customers.
Inside the Valuation ComparisonSK Hynix (000660.KS) currently has a trailing 12-month (TTM) price/earnings (P/E) ratio of 18.11X, while its forward P/E ratio stands at 6.28X, per Yahoo Finance data. In contrast, its competitor Micron Technology (MU - Free Report) trades at a P/E (TTM) of 21.18X. MU shares currently trade at a forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of just 6.05X. This shows that SK Hynix’s valuation is on par with its U.S.-based peers.
Bottom LineAs a caveat, investors should note that such products are suitable only for short-term traders as these are rebalanced on a daily basis. These products are riskly in nature.
Topsy-turvy Micron (MU 7.72%) stock took another tumble on Wednesday, sliding an unlucky 7.7% through 2:50 p.m. ET after Warren Buffett warned that it's becoming "tough to find values when everybody is preferring gambling" on the artificial intelligence revolution and similar themes.

Making sense of Micron Investors have been running hot and cold on semiconductor stocks like Micron for weeks -- sometimes responding to the very same news with buying or selling, depending on the day of the week.
For example, after South Korea's SK Hynix (SKHY 9.00%) began selling stock on the Nasdaq last week, investors first bought computer memory semiconductor stocks on the theory that SK's CEO thought demand would outstrip supply for years. They then turned around and sold these same stocks a few days later, though, worried that SK Hynix's plans to increase production to satisfy this memory demand might hurt prices and profits for both SK and its competitors (like Micron).
So basically, Buffett is right: investors are taking each bit of news as it happens, and gambling on whether it might drive memory stocks up or down.

What's next for Micron stock Does this mean investors are finally becoming rational by selling Micron stock, though? Not necessarily.
At 22 times earnings today, the stock doesn't look particularly expensive -- not when analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence are forecasting a ten times improvement in earnings this year, and for profits to double again next year, and average 172% annual increases over the next five years. If Micron misses those estimates by half, it's still probably an incredible bargain at today's prices.
Simply put, if you do the math, there's no need to gamble on Micron: This stock is still plenty cheap to buy.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (ADR) (NYSE:TSM) is expected to report second quarter results that come in slightly ahead of expectations, with Wedbush analysts pointing to strong revenue trends and continued demand for advanced semiconductor technologies as potential drivers for a stronger outlook.
Wedbush reiterated its ‘Outperform’ rating ahead of TSMC’s earnings, writing that the company’s monthly revenue figures indicate it likely exceeded the firm’s prior second-quarter top-line estimate by around 1%, similar to the previous quarter’s performance.
The analysts expect gross margins to have at least reached the midpoint of TSMC’s prior guidance range, noting that results appeared to track closely with expectations throughout the quarter.
Looking ahead, Wedbush expects TSMC could provide an improved revenue outlook for the full year. The company previously guided for sales growth of more than 30% in US dollar terms, while revenue growth has been tracking in the high-30% range year-to-date. Wedbush wrote that the ramp of TSMC’s 2-nanometer process technology in the second half of 2026 could support at least mid-30% annual sales growth.
The analysts added that such an outcome could lead to higher 2026 estimates and reduce the magnitude of the slowdown they currently model for 2027.
Wedbush also highlighted gross margins as a key area to monitor, with the firm and consensus forecasts currently expecting some pressure in the second half of the year due to the 2nm launch and expanded overseas manufacturing capacity. The analysts wrote that third-quarter guidance should provide more visibility into how those factors will affect profitability, while recent currency movements could provide some benefit.
Capital spending will also be closely watched, with Wedbush writing that sustained demand for advanced nodes could prompt TSMC to raise its annual capex outlook again. The analysts noted that this would further support the view that current 2027 revenue growth expectations may be too conservative.
Wedbush wrote that TSMC remains one of its preferred hardware investments, citing the company’s position in advanced semiconductor manufacturing and packaging as a key beneficiary of the ongoing AI data center build-out and future edge AI opportunities across areas including optics, robotics, automotive technology and electronic design automation.
Shares of TSMC traded hands at $417 on Wednesday afternoon, having gained more than 37% so far this year.
4:15pm: Apple surges, inflation cools Stocks finished higher on Wednesday as another softer-than-expected inflation report reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve could keep interest rates on hold in the months ahead.
The Dow Jones rose 150 points, or 0.3%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.4% and the Nasdaq climbed 0.6%.
Investors welcomed June's Producer Price Index report, which showed wholesale prices fell 0.3% during the month, adding to optimism after Tuesday's cooler consumer inflation data.
Apple was a standout performer, rising 4% to a record closing high of $327.50. The rally followed reports that the iPhone maker received approval to roll out its generative AI features in China, a key market for the company.
Investors also looked ahead to a fresh round of earnings. United Airlines is set to report results after the closing bell, while Thursday's earnings calendar includes Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC), UnitedHealth Group, GE Aerospace and Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT), giving investors another read on corporate performance and the health of key sectors of the economy.
3:40pm: Proactive news headlines Purepoint Uranium Group Inc (TSX-V:PTU, OTCQX:PTUUF, FRA:P5X0) CEO Chris Frostad said Canada and the United States must address growing uranium supply challenges as nuclear expansion plans accelerate and geopolitical tensions reshape global supply chains. VivoPower PLC (NASDAQ:VIVO, FRA:51J) said the limited availability of power-secured, renewable-backed sites is becoming a key constraint for AI infrastructure growth and is positioning its platform to meet rising demand across multiple markets. Century Lithium Corp. (TSX-V:LCE, OTCQX:CYDVF) announced that lithium carbonate from its Nevada-based Angel Island project was converted into high-purity lithium metal and used in battery cells through a US Army-backed research program. American Resources Corp (NASDAQ:AREC)’ ReElement Technologies was selected as an industry partner in a National Science Foundation-backed critical minerals consortium eligible for up to $160 million in funding over 10 years. BioHarvest Sciences Inc (NASDAQ:BHST, FRA:8MV0) received a $1.4 million grant from the Israel Innovation Authority to support research using machine learning and computer vision to advance its plant cell culture technology. Nextech3D.AI (CSE:NTAR, OTCQX:NEXCF, FRA:1SS) launched an enterprise pilot program for KraftyLab Intelligence, an AI-powered workforce analytics platform designed to help organizations collect employee feedback and generate workplace insights. Power Metallic Mines Inc (TSX-V:PNPN, FRA:IVV1, OTCQB:PNPNF) reported high-grade near-surface copper mineralization from drilling at its Lion Zone within Quebec’s Nisk polymetallic project as it advances toward an initial NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate. 2:45pm: Market movers Dell Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:DELL) fell as investors worried that Meta’s plans to lease excess AI computing capacity could signal overbuilding among cloud providers and weigh on future server demand. Aehr Test Systems surged after the semiconductor testing equipment maker posted better-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter results and issued a stronger revenue outlook for fiscal 2027. Century Lithium Corp. (TSX-V:LCE, OTCQX:CYDVF) said lithium carbonate from its Nevada-based Angel Island project was converted into high-purity lithium metal and used in battery cells through a US Army-backed research program. BlackRock Inc (NYSE:BLK) reported stronger-than-expected second-quarter earnings as record client inflows and higher fees boosted profits at the world’s largest asset manager. ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:ASML, XETRA:ASME) gained after the semiconductor equipment maker beat second-quarter expectations and raised its full-year 2026 revenue forecast on stronger demand. American Resources Corp (NASDAQ:AREC)’ ReElement Technologies was selected as an industry partner in a National Science Foundation-backed critical minerals consortium eligible for up to $160 million in funding over 10 years. BioHarvest Sciences Inc (NASDAQ:BHST, FRA:8MV0) received a $1.4 million grant from the Israel Innovation Authority to support research using machine learning and computer vision to advance its plant cell culture technology. 2:10pm: BoC holds rates North of the border, the Bank of Canada kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 2.25%, marking its sixth straight meeting without a policy change.
The bank said improving economic conditions and inflation gradually moving back toward target support holding rates steady, while geopolitical and trade uncertainties remain elevated.
Bank of America noted the BoC’s guidance remains cautious and data dependent, with policymakers balancing weak economic growth against inflation that remains above target. The firm expects the central bank to remain on hold through 2026, citing soft underlying activity, persistent excess supply and core inflation near 2%. While risks to rates are tilted slightly higher as the economy recovers, BofA said the bar for a hike remains high.
1:15pm: PPI offers fresh relief Bill Adams, chief economist at Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ:FITB), said the latest Producer Price Index (PPI) report was notable less for the headline numbers and more for the downward revisions to inflation in recent months.
While Consumer Price Index (CPI) data isn't revised after it's released, those lower PPI revisions could feed into future revisions to the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, suggesting inflation may have been softer than previously thought.
That PCE inflation could be revised down a bit for April and May, Adams noted.
"The Fed will likely see June’s cool inflation as a justification for holding interest rates steady at the decision near the end of this month," he commented.
"Even so, it’s hard to feel too excited about last month’s drop in producer prices, which largely reflected lower energy prices—prices which rebounded in the first half of July as energy traffic through the Strait of Hormuz slowed."
12:05pm: More impressive bank earnings Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) (Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS)) reported record second quarter revenue and profit that topped Wall Street expectations on Wednesday, driven by strength across its institutional securities, wealth management and investment management businesses.

A year earlier, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) (Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS)) reported earnings per share of $2.13 on revenue of $16.79 billion.
Elsewhere, BlackRock Inc (NYSE:BLK) (BlackRock Inc (NYSE:BLK)) reported second-quarter profit that topped Wall Street estimates on Wednesday, powered by record inflows and higher fees.
The world's largest asset manager posted adjusted earnings of $13.91 per share, beating the average analyst estimate of $12.57 and up 15% from a year earlier.
Revenue rose 31% to $7.08 billion, ahead of the $6.72 billion expected by analysts.
11:00am: PPI slows US producer prices unexpectedly declined in June, adding to signs that inflation pressures are easing and strengthening expectations that the Federal Reserve could begin cutting interest rates in the coming months.
The Producer Price Index (PPI) fell 0.3% month over month, compared with expectations for no change, while annual producer inflation slowed to 5.5% from the expected 6.2%.
Core PPI, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.2% on the month, below forecasts of 0.3%, while the annual core rate eased to 4.7%, also coming in below the expected 5.1%.
10am: PayPal and BlackRock lead Wall St higher at open Wall Street has opened Wednesday trading on the front foot, with investors digesting more earnings.
The Nasdaq has added 0.6% in initial trades, while the S&P 500 and the Dow both climbed 0.3%.
PayPal leapt 14.5% on a reported bid from that payments company Stripe and private equity firm Advent.
BlackRock is among the standout S&P performers, jumping more than 7% after the world's largest asset manager reported a record US$15 trillion of assets under management.
The group attracted US$192 billion of net inflows during the second quarter as investors continued to pour money into exchange-traded funds.
Elsewhere, uniform supplier Cintas rose 4.7%, while software groups Adobe and Workday were also among the leading gainers in the Nasdaq 100.
8am: Nasdaq set to rally but Dow futures flat, PayPal climbs on bid report US stocks appeared set for a steady start on Wednesday as investors drew confidence from strong bank earnings and a softer-than-expected inflation report the day before, even as oil prices remained elevated following fresh US strikes on Iran.
Nasdaq futures were up 0.5% ahead of the opening bell, with S&P 500 futures up 0.1%, while those for the Dow Jones were little changed.
Wall Street finished mostly higher on Tuesday after June's consumer price data came in below expectations, easing concerns that the Federal Reserve may need to raise interest rates this month.
The Nasdaq climbed 0.9% to close at 26,107.01, the S&P added 0.4% to 7,543.59 and the Dow inched 10 points or 0.02% higher to 52,508.27.
European markets were weaker in Wednesday trading, however, as slower-than-expected Chinese economic growth weighed on sentiment. London's FTSE 100 was dragged lower by miners and other cyclical stocks after China GDP expanded 4.3% in the second quarter, its slowest pace since 2023 and below the government's 4.5%-5% target range. Germany's DAX was down 0.8%.
Oil prices were trading broadly sideways following the recent surge, with WTI crude up 0.5% at just under $80 a barrel.
Investors were also watching PayPal, whose shares jumped over 18% in pre-market trading after Reuters reported that privately held Stripe had teamed up with Advent International to make a joint US$53 billion takeover approach.
Also, Nasdaq-listed ASML, the Dutch semiconductor equipment maker, is set to climb around 3.5% after raising its 2026 guidance for a second time.
Earnings from Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), BlackRock, Progressive and BNY are also out today.

One stock that might be an intriguing choice for investors right now is First Majestic Silver Corp. (AG - Free Report) . This is because this security in the Mining - Silver space is seeing solid earnings estimate revision activity, and is in great company from a Zacks Industry Rank perspective.
This is important because, often times, a rising tide will lift all boats in an industry, as there can be broad trends taking place in a segment that are boosting securities across the board. This is arguably taking place in the Mining - Silver space as it currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 73 out of more than 250 industries, suggesting it is well-positioned from this perspective, especially when compared to other segments out there.
Meanwhile, First Majestic Silver is actually looking pretty good on its own too. The firm has seen solid earnings estimate revision activity over the past month, suggesting analysts are becoming a bit more bullish on the firm’s prospects in both the short and long term.
In fact, over the past month, current quarter estimates have risen from 27 cents per share to 32 cents per share, while current year estimates have risen from 74 cents per share to 78 cents per share. This has helped AG to earn a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), further underscoring the company’s solid position. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
So, if you are looking for a decent pick in a strong industry, consider First Majestic Silver. Not only is its industry currently in the top third, but it is seeing solid estimate revisions as of late, suggesting it could be a very interesting choice for investors seeking a name in this great industry segment.
Shares of Circle Internet Group and Coinbase Global moved higher on Wednesday after William Blair said many of the key risks facing both companies are already reflected in investor expectations.
The firm also highlighted their potential to benefit from any recovery in Bitcoin prices.
Circle CRCL shares gained more than 3% in midday trading, while Coinbase stock rose nearly 2%.
Bitcoin was trading around $64,900, up about 0.5% over the previous 24 hours after reaching an intraday high of $65,500.
The cryptocurrency continued to struggle to hold above the $65,000 level.
William Blair cuts estimates but remains optimisticWilliam Blair said investors should continue to stay invested in Coinbase as spot trading volumes potentially bottom out, despite lowering its financial estimates for the crypto exchange.
The firm said both Coinbase and Circle offer "outsized leverage to a bitcoin recovery."
William Blair also warned that consensus estimates across the sector are likely to continue falling and revised its own forecasts lower.
The brokerage reduced its 2026 revenue estimate for Coinbase by 12% and its 2027 forecast by 13%. It also lowered EBITDA estimates by 34% for both years.
Despite those reductions, the firm expects profitability to recover after this year, stating that EBITDA "seems set to trough" in the second half of 2026 before rebounding in 2027.
Separately, Piper Sandler lowered its price target on Coinbase to $155 from $170 while maintaining a Neutral rating.
Analyst Patrick Moley said subdued cryptocurrency trading has contrasted with record options activity and the strongest quarter on record for US cash equities trading volumes.
He added that prediction markets and perpetual futures "were the story" of the second quarter, with the FIFA World Cup driving what he described as "massive" growth across the prediction markets industry.
Looking ahead, Moley said investors are paying close attention to "significant investor attention on the perpetual future threat," highlighting increasing competition as more trading activity shifts toward newer products such as perpetual futures.
While analysts updated their outlooks, Cathie Wood's ARK Invest continued to increase its exposure to Circle despite the stock's recent weakness.
ARK purchased another 220,000 Circle shares across three actively managed exchange-traded funds on Tuesday.
Based on Circle's Tuesday closing price of $63.22, the acquisition was valued at approximately $13.9 million.
The latest purchase brings ARK's disclosed Circle purchases during July to 725,517 shares.
The investment firm had previously acquired 287,609 shares on July 1 and 217,896 shares on July 9.
Circle has become a significant holding across ARK's innovation-focused portfolios.
As of Wednesday, the company represented 4.37% of the ARK Fintech Innovation ETF, making it the fund's seventh-largest position with a value of roughly $33 million.
Circle also accounted for 3.35% of the flagship ARK Innovation ETF, ranking as its ninth-largest holding and carrying a value of approximately $218 million.
Despite Wednesday's gains, both stocks remain under pressure this year. Coinbase shares have fallen nearly 30% in 2026, while Circle stock is down almost 20%.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the complaint, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Roblox's organic growth potential; notably, that Roblox would see a significant slowdown in its growth rates as enrollment in the age verification rollout would quickly taper, compounding the resulting slowdown in on-platform communication, resulting in app store rating reductions and a swift reduction in organic growth. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:SPOT) is expected to report a steady second-quarter performance, with Jefferies maintaining a positive long-term view despite not anticipating a "narrative changing" earnings release.
The investment bank reiterated its ‘Bu’y rating and $600 price target, implying upside from current levels of $485, ahead of the company's results, writing that it prefers to remain positioned for potential catalysts including a Warner Music Group remixing agreement and the launch of AI-powered remixing features.
For the second quarter, Jefferies forecasts gross margin of 33.1%, in line with Spotify's guidance, while noting that a typical beat of more than 20 basis points to around 33.3% represents a reasonable upside scenario.
The analysts also view the current third-quarter Wall Street gross margin estimate of 33% as achievable, despite expected regulatory charges.
Jefferies expects constant-currency revenue growth of 15% year over year in both the second and third quarters, in line with consensus estimates.
It also forecasts second-quarter net additions of 6 million premium subscribers and 17 million monthly active users, with potential upside to MAUs from Spotify's Wrapped 20th anniversary campaign.
The analysts expect investor attention to center on management's comments about new products, particularly the timeline and adoption of an AI remixing offering.
"We'll be listening for commentary on AI remixing adoption/timeline, but given investor skepticism on uptake, remixing is ultimately a 'show-me' that we think plays out positively in the coming months," Jefferies wrote.
While the bank sees the potential for lower operating expenses, it wrote that cost reductions alone are unlikely to drive a sustained re-rating without additional revenue from new products.
Looking further ahead, Jefferies expects 2027 to benefit from new product opportunities, additional pricing initiatives and more normalized cost growth, while reiterating that evidence of incremental revenue from AI remixing could renew investor interest in the stock.
Annaly Capital (NLY +0.63%) is a mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT). This is a unique niche of the broader REIT sector that is a bit more complex to understand. That said, mREITs often have very large yields, luring in dividend investors that may not understand the risks they are taking on. Annaly Capital's 13% yield has a very real near-term headwind. Here's what you need to know.
How does Annaly Capital make money? A property owning REIT buys a building and leases it to tenants, generating rental income. Mortgage REITs like Annaly Capital buy mortgages that have been pooled into bond-like securities, generating interest income. In both cases, leverage is employed to enhance returns, with profits driven by the difference between operating costs (including interest expenses) and income. However, property REITs generally finance their operations with mortgages or bond issuance. Both generally have rates that don't change with interest rates. Mortgage REITs, on the other hand, tend to make use of short-term loans with rates that adjust quickly.
Image source: Getty Images.
The problem is in the timing. If rates rise, mREITs quickly face higher interest costs. But the securities they own have long maturities and don't produce more income, so profits come under pressure. Worse, the securities mREITs own will likely also fall in value, so the yield they offer to a new buyer would be equivalent to the prevailing market yield. That's a double hit for an mREIT: lower earnings and a drop in its net book value per share.
Annaly needs rates to hold steady In the first quarter of 2026, Annaly generated $0.76 per share in earnings available for distribution. It paid out $0.70 per share in dividends during the quarter. That's a 92% payout ratio, which is high but not unusual in the mREIT sector. But if rates rise, Annaly's ability to pay its dividend could come under pressure quickly.

The problem is that oil prices are rising again as the conflict in the Middle East flares up. High oil prices have been stoking inflation, which is running hotter than the Federal Reserve would like. And that could force the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates, perhaps even at its next meeting.
The history is clear, Annaly's dividend is highly variable If you examine Annaly's longer-term dividend history, you'll find it is marked by volatility. You simply can't buy this stock expecting the dividend to remain stable, which makes it a hard sell for investors trying to live off their dividends. And the company just increased its quarterly dividend to $0.75 per share, which could make dividend coverage even tighter based on the first quarter's distributable earnings results. Dividend investors should tread with extreme caution here.

GERMANTOWN, Md., & VENLO, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--QIAGEN N.V. (NYSE: QGEN; Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA) today highlighted its portfolio of molecular testing solutions supporting the public health response to the growing number of cyclosporiasis cases reported across the United States.
More than 1,600 U.S. cases of cyclosporiasis have been confirmed since May, along with another 7,000 potential cases, as health authorities investigate multiple outbreaks involving Cyclospora cayetanensis, a foodborne parasite that can cause prolonged diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. The parasite is not detected through routine stool culture and requires specialized diagnostic methods, including molecular testing.
QIAGEN's Sample to Insight portfolio supports laboratories across the molecular testing continuum, from syndromic diagnostics and digital PCR to next-generation sequencing (NGS):
The FDA-cleared QIAstat-Dx Gastrointestinal Panel 2 includes Cyclospora cayetanensis as a standard target within its 16-target menu for bacterial, viral and parasitic pathogens. The fully integrated syndromic test delivers results in about an hour, enabling laboratories to test for Cyclospora alongside other common causes of gastrointestinal illness from the initial patient sample. For research use only, QIAGEN offers the digital PCR Microbial DNA Detection Assay targeting Cyclospora cayetanensis for use with the QIAcuity digital PCR system, supporting highly sensitive detection in research and public health applications. QIAGEN's sequencing portfolio also includes the PulseNet-approved QIAseq FX DNA Library Prep Kit for research use only with any NGS sequencer. This kit is designed to support “shotgun sequencing workflows” that analyze all DNA in a sample to help identify and characterize foodborne pathogens for PulseNet, the U.S. public health laboratory network that detects and investigates foodborne disease outbreaks. “The current rise in cyclosporiasis cases highlights the need for rapid, reliable detection to support timely patient care and effective public health action,” said Nitin Sood, Senior Vice President and Head of Product Portfolio & Innovation at QIAGEN. “QIAGEN is ready to support laboratories and public health authorities worldwide with molecular testing technologies that help detect infections, guide investigations and strengthen responses to emerging disease threats.”

BOSTON, July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Block & Leviton is investigating Pentair (NYSE: PNR) for potential securities law violations. Investors who have lost money in their Pentair investment should contact the firm to learn more about how they might recover those losses. For more details, visit https://blockleviton.com/cases/pnr.
What is this all about?
Block & Leviton is investigating whether Pentair plc and certain of its executives violated federal securities laws in connection with what the company told investors about the health of inventory in its Pool channel. On April 28, 2026, Pentair guided to roughly 1% second-quarter sales growth and 2–4% full-year growth, and management told investors it had evaluated a range of Pool revenue scenarios and reflected the expected sell-in pressure in that guidance. Then, after the market closed on July 14, 2026, Pentair pre-announced that preliminary second-quarter sales would be approximately $930 million — down about 17% year-over-year — and slashed its full-year outlook, attributing the shortfall to Pool channel inventory destocking that was "more pronounced" than previously estimated and that it estimated would cut full-year Pool sales by roughly $250 million. The company also disclosed that its chief financial officer had departed on July 10, 2026, just days before the warning, with the former CFO returning on an interim basis. Pentair shares fell sharply on the news.
Who is eligible?
Anyone who purchased Pentair common stock and has seen their shares fall may be eligible, whether or not they have sold their investment. Investors should contact Block & Leviton to learn more.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman is investigating potential violations of U.S. securities laws by Pentair plc (NYSE: PNR) following the company’s recent announcement of a significant earnings warning, a sharp reduction in full-year guidance, and the unexpected resignation of its Chief Financial Officer.

Focus of HBSS’ Pentair plc (PNR) Investigation:
On July 14, 2026, Pentair shocked investors by pre-announcing preliminary second-quarter 2026 financial results that fell substantially below consensus estimates. The company revealed that sales were expected to be approximately $930 million—a significant miss against prior forecasts of $1.14 billion.
While the company attributed the shortfall to inventory destocking in its Pool channel, Hagens Berman is investigating whether these results may have been exacerbated by undisclosed and unsustainable sales practices with its distributors – practices that may have artificially inflated the company’s revenue figures in prior reporting periods.
These concerns are compounded by the abrupt departure of CFO Nicholas Brazis, who left the company after serving in the role for only four months, raising further questions regarding the internal controls surrounding the company’s revenue recognition and sales forecasting.
Following these disclosures, Pentair slashed its full-year 2026 growth guidance, reversing its earlier projections. The news triggered an immediate and sharp decline in Pentair’s share price, resulting in a significant loss of shareholder value.
“Investors deserve transparency regarding the true health of a company’s sales channels,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation. “We are looking into whether the company may have utilized unsustainable practices with distributors to meet short term internal targets.”

Lucid is in the middle of a turnaround effort. It's not considering bankruptcy, the company said. Lucid Motors Lucid Motors wants everyone to know it's not going bankrupt.
On Tuesday, the luxury EV maker filed paperwork with the SEC, forcefully denying two articles from EVs.com that — citing anonymous sources — reported the company was considering bankruptcy or going private. The automaker also sent the publication a cease-and-desist letter demanding that it retract the reports.
Cláudio Afonso, the founder of EVs.com's parent company, CARBA, told Business Insider that the company had responded to Lucid's letter but declined to comment further.
"Lucid is not considering bankruptcy or a transaction to take the company private," Silvio Napoli, the company's recently-appointed CEO, wrote in a LinkedIn post on Wednesday. "Those reports are false. The Board did not explore either scenario. Period."
Nick Twork, Lucid's communications chief, also pushed back in a series of posts on X.
$LCID The rumors are completely false. The company has sufficient liquidity to carry its operations well into next year, as recently published in its last quarterly filings, and it has not formed any special Board committee to explore the scenarios reported today. Our focus is…
— Nick Twork (@ntwork) July 14, 2026 The reports have sent Saudi-backed Lucid's shares on a wild ride this week. The stock price dropped from an opening of $5.53 on Tuesday to a midday low of around $2.40 following the articles. By Wednesday, the stock had largely recovered, rising more than 18%.
Lucid confirmed that it was working with AlixPartners, an advisory firm known for corporate turnarounds, but said the firm was helping improve its operations and execution — not preparing it for bankruptcy.
"My priority is clear: turn this company around," Napoli wrote.
This moment is consequential for Lucid Motors. The company is still climbing through the so-called "valley of death," where startup automakers burn through vast amounts of cash while trying to reach mass-market profitability. Last quarter, Lucid lost more than $1 billion.
During its May earnings call, an investor asked management about concerns that Lucid could eventually face bankruptcy. The company declined to address "market rumors or hypothetical strategic alternatives."
Lucid said it ended the quarter with $3.2 billion in total liquidity and said subsequent financing would have raised that figure to about $4.7 billion on a pro forma basis — enough, the company now says, to fund operations well into 2027.
Lucid has gone through two major layoff events this year, including a 12% staffing cut in February and an 18% workforce reduction in June.
Napoli, who took over as CEO on June 1, has overseen major C-suite changes, too: The company eliminated the chief operating officer position held by Marc Winterhoff, the recent interim CEO. Chief financial officer Taoufiq Boussaid also left in July.
Lucid has struggled to build sales momentum for its current lineup. Lucid reported 3,953 deliveries, below an analyst estimate of about 5,000. It's now offering massive incentives on its 2026 Gravity SUVs, including 0% financing for up to six years.
The biggest test is still coming
Lucid filed patent paperwork in May that could be teasing its coming mass-market car. EUIPO Right now, both of Lucid's cars — the Air sedan and Gravity SUV — carry luxury prices.
The long-awaited Cosmos is supposed to change that. The midsize SUV is expected to enter production by the end of 2026 on a new platform that Lucid says will support vehicles starting below $50,000.
That would put Lucid into the heart of the American auto market — and one of its most competitive segments.
Rivian began delivering its R2 in June, while Tesla has continued expanding the Model Y lineup. The Cosmos will also compete against established electric SUVs, including the Toyota bZ, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Chevrolet Equinox EV.
Its gas-powered competition may be even tougher. The Honda CR-V was the country's best-selling SUV during the first half of the year, while Toyota has been ramping production of its redesigned RAV4 amid tight supplies and strong demand.
Lucid plans to follow the Cosmos with a more rugged SUV called the Earth and has previewed a purpose-built robotaxi called the Lunar.

Shares slipped roughly 4% after hours despite United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL | UAL Price Prediction) beating on both lines: adjusted EPS of $1.99 versus $1.8498 expected and revenue of $17.67 billion.
The reaction fits UAL’s post-beat pattern. Following Q1 2026’s 8.93% beat, shares still fell -5.58%. Q3 2025’s beat produced a -5.63% drop. The average day-of move on beats sits at -1.8%.
The market is fixating on the Q3 and FY 2026 EPS guidance coming in below analyst expectations, net income falling -17.27%, and free cash flow collapsing -65.38%. With shares up 35.32% over the past year, the market may have already priced in a big beat.

Fuel expense climbed $2.3 billion, or 84%, year over year during Q2. United recovered approximately half of that increase during the quarter and expects to recover 80% to 90% by Q3 and nearly all of it by Q4.
The recovery reflects strong pricing power, with yields rising 12% during the quarter. United’s ability to raise fares and offset the fuel shock helps explain why management increased the bottom end of its full-year earnings range despite the enormous cost increase.

United Airlines just reported second-quarter earnings, with shares initially down 3% following the report. Here are the key numbers:
Revenue: $17.7 billion vs. $17.6 billion expected Adjusted EPS: $1.99 vs. $1.87 expected Guidance:
Full-year adjusted EPS: $9.00 to $11.00, raised from the prior $7.00 to $11.00 range
Quick Read:
United beat expectations on both revenue and earnings, while raising the bottom end of its full-year outlook by $2 per share.
The airline also secured $3.7 billion in additional liquidity to protect against geopolitical uncertainty and oil-price spikes, while expanding Starlink to 450 aircraft and targeting nearly 1,000 by year-end.

United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) trades at $120.67 with Polymarket odds at 97% for a beat, but four wildcards remain unpriced.
First, CEO Scott Kirby sold 48,303 shares at $121.30 on June 15, an unusual pre-earnings move.
Second, the full-chain put/call ratio sits at 1.6, with the July 24 expiry spiking to 6.06, signaling heavy hedging against the crowd.
Third, ratification risk lingers on the tentative deal covering 30,000 flight attendants.
Fourth, history warns: UAL’s average day-of reaction after beats is -2.25%, and last quarter’s 8.93% surprise still triggered a -5.58% drop.

The Guidance That Matters Most Tonight Wall Street’s attention shifts quickly from Q2 results to United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) Q3 and full-year outlook. Investors want a fresh Q3 EPS guide, an updated FY26 EPS range (currently $7 to $11), fuel assumptions, and capacity plans beyond the 5-point cut already announced.
CFO Michael Leskinen framed recovery in phases: 70% to 80% fuel recapture in Q3 and 85% to 100% by Q4. Any narrowing toward the upper half ($9 to $11) would signal fuel relief. Management has skewed conservative, beating EPS by 8.93% in Q1 2026, 5.41% in Q4 2025, and 3.98% in Q3 2025.
Bearish: FY26 EPS cut below the $7 floor, further capacity trims, or fuel recovery slipping behind schedule.

United wants to keep expanding, but the FAA has placed limits on flight growth at three of its most important hubs: Newark, Chicago O’Hare, and San Francisco.
Those constraints could make it harder for United to deploy new aircraft profitably just as its delivery schedule begins accelerating.
Competition is also getting tougher. American Airlines and Southwest are improving their revenue strategies, while Delta plans to expand at Los Angeles and across the Asia-Pacific market, where United is currently the largest U.S. carrier. That threatens the premium customers and international growth that have powered United’s post-pandemic recovery.
Investors will be looking for evidence that United can grow earnings despite hub restrictions, rising labor costs, heavy capital spending, and stronger competition from the other major U.S. airlines.

United Airlines enters tonight’s report with one major tailwind: jet fuel prices have fallen from roughly $4 per gallon during the Iran crisis to below $3 on the U.S. spot market.
Because fuel expenses flow through airline results with a delay, the largest benefit may appear in United’s third-quarter guidance rather than its reported Q2 numbers.
Demand also remains strong. Airlines have successfully raised fares, premium travel continues to outperform, and the collapse of Spirit Airlines removed roughly 2% of U.S. capacity ahead of the summer season. That combination could allow United to preserve pricing even as its largest variable cost declines.
The key question is whether those improving conditions give management enough confidence to reaffirm its full-year adjusted EPS range of $7.00 to $11.00. A strong outlook would signal that United’s fuel recovery is arriving on schedule. Cautious guidance would suggest higher labor costs and operational pressures are absorbing more of the benefit.

United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) reports Q2 2026 results tonight, July 15, at 4:00 PM ET after the bell, with the earnings call scheduled for 10:30 AM ET the next morning. Shares sit at $121.25, up 39.2% over the past year, raising the bar for the earnings report.
Fuel Recovery Meets Premium Momentum Q1 delivered $1.19 EPS against a $1.0924 consensus, an 8.93% beat. Revenue rose 10.57% to $14.61 billion, with premium up 14% and loyalty up 13%.
However, fuel jumped to $2.78 per gallon from $2.53, a $340 million headwind. Management responded by pulling 5 points of capacity for the rest of 2026 and lowering the FY EPS band. Shares initially dropped 5.58% on the Q1 earnings report but have since rallied to $120.31.
Consensus Setup Metric Q2 2026 Guide FY 2026 Guide Adjusted EPS $1.00 to $2.00 $7.00 to $11.00 Fuel Recovery 40 to 50% Ramps to 85 to 100% by Q4 CapEx N/A Under $8B UAL’s forward P/E sits at 12, with a $120.31 share price, indicating meaningful upside to analysts’ consensus price target of $153.97.
Fuel Pacing and Guidance Range Take Center Stage Tonight, I’ll be watching UAL’s comments around fuel recovery first. CEO Scott Kirby framed Q2 as the toughest quarter of the recovery arc, so the surcharge and mix commentary will tell us whether the upper half of the FY $7-$11 band remains reachable.
Premium and loyalty durability matter next. Both grew by 14% and 13% in Q1, and the JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) Blue Sky collaboration, plus new MileagePlus economics, should extend that runway.
Investors will also focus on international mix, particularly the Middle East, India, and Africa corridor that posted 23.9% passenger revenue growth, alongside Atlantic at 18.9%. CASM (Cost per Available Seat Mile) ran up 5.9%, so analysts will be looking for cost commentary, and the flight attendant tentative agreement covering 30,000 workers.
CEO Kirby said, “We’ll stay nimble in the short term while continuing to grow the airline and invest in our customers, product and people.”

Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT | AMAT Price Prediction) and KLA (NASDAQ: KLAC) both closed strong quarters tied to AI infrastructure buildout. Applied posted Q2 FY2026 revenue of $7.91 billion on May 14, 2026. KLA reported Q3 FY2026 revenue of $3.415 billion on April 29, 2026. Both beat consensus. Their playbooks look nothing alike.
AI Fab Tools Lift One. Inspection Dominance Lifts the Other. Applied’s Semiconductor Systems segment delivered $5.965 billion at a 35.1% operating margin, up from 32.8%. DRAM mix moved to 29% of that segment, reflecting real HBM pull. CEO Gary Dickerson told investors Applied delivered “record quarterly performance” and now expects the semi equipment business to grow more than 30% in calendar 2026, raised from an earlier 20% call. That is a rare mid-cycle upgrade.
KLA’s story is narrower and richer. Process Control brought in $3.083 billion, roughly 90% of revenue, at a non-GAAP gross margin guide of 61.75% for June. Rick Wallace flagged “continued market share momentum in process control” backed by third-party industry data. Fewer product lines, harder moat.
Business Driver AMAT KLA Main revenue engine Semi Systems $5.965B Process Control $3.083B YoY revenue growth 11.4% 11.5% China revenue share 27% Meaningful, more insulated per analysts Breadth Play vs. Specialist Fortress Applied is widening the net. New Gate-All-Around tools like Precision Selective Nitride PECVD and Trillium ALD, the agreement to acquire ASMPT’s NEXX business for panel-level advanced packaging, and EPIC Center partnerships with TSMC, SK hynix, Micron and Samsung keep Applied embedded in every atomic-layer transition. This makes AMAT the more comprehensive AI manufacturing play, capturing raw physical volume of global foundry expansion.
KLA leans harder on one dominant niche. Inspection and metrology carry structurally higher margins, and Barclays upgraded KLAC to Overweight citing relative insulation from China export controls. The tradeoff: KLA’s diagnostic business is sensitive to wafer-start fluctuations.
The Next Test Is Cash and China Applied’s free cash flow fell to $210 million, down 80.21% YoY on working capital consumption. KLA’s FCF also softened to $622 million, off 36.97%, but the absolute figure remains healthier. Watch whether Applied converts its Q3 revenue guide of roughly $8.95 billion into cash, and whether KLA hits its $3.575 billion June-quarter target.
Why I Lean Toward Applied Materials Right Now AMAT is the sharper AI-infrastructure vehicle today. The 30%+ calendar 2026 equipment growth call, GAA tool ramp, and HBM exposure line up with where fab spending is going. KLA remains a beautiful business, and its 17th consecutive dividend increase plus a fresh $7 billion buyback authorization reward patient holders. For direct leverage to physical AI capacity coming online, Applied offers the clearest exposure. That thesis weakens if China restrictions tighten materially or if Applied’s cash conversion stays weak past one more quarter.

Best Buy Co Inc (NYSE:BBY)'s early bet on RGB TV is starting to pay off, Jefferies says, pointing to rising site traffic and social media buzz as signs the retailer is building consumer awareness of the emerging technology.
Jefferies analysts flagged that Best Buy holds exclusive rights to sell RGB TVs during the technology's first 12 months on the market, a head start that's translating into real search and traffic advantages.
RGB TV, also called Micro RGB, is a new TV backlight technology, pioneered by Samsung, that uses thousands of tiny individually controlled red, green, and blue LEDs behind the screen instead of the blue LED-with-phosphor or Mini LED setups used in conventional TVs.
In June, BestBuy.com captured visits from one in four consumers searching "RGB TV," up from 19% in May and 4% in April, making it the top retail destination for shoppers researching the technology, well ahead of the next-closest retail site at just 1%.
Digital creators are helping fuel that awareness: tech influencer Andrew Bond's July 13 video from a Best Buy store praising Samsung's Micro RGB TV drew about 2 million views in 24 hours, while lifestyle creators Brooke Mason and @lifewithcina posted similar videos name-checking Best Buy that pulled in tens of thousands of views apiece.
Jefferies estimates Best Buy holds roughly 33% market share in the TV category, a position the firm views favorably given the timing. The analysts note that US TV sell-through has been growing at a solid pace in recent weeks, and they see a major replacement cycle building as televisions purchased during the pandemic approach the end of their useful life.
Looking at the broader picture, Jefferies estimates about 13 million US TVs sold between 2020 and 2021 were the result of pandemic-driven pull-forward demand. With an average useful life of about six and a half years, the firm believes a first, smaller wave of replacement purchases has already begun, with the bulk of that replacement cycle still ahead in 2027 and 2028.

We recently closed out of our position in Terreno (TRNO) and wanted to walk readers through our thought process and how we look at the company today.
The REIT Forum
We sold shares on 7/9/2026. For readers interested, we will post all the sales at the end of the article.
Seeking Alpha
Before we sold, Terreno was flirting with the border between our neutral/overpriced ranges. Shares were trading at 31.4x consensus forward AFFO. Technically, it’s probably a little bit lower if we factor in that Q2 2027 AFFO per share will probably be higher than Q2 2026 AFFO per share. However, even adjusting for higher AFFO, the multiple would still be very large.
July 9th Thought Process Terreno has been one of my favorite REITs for several years. I viewed it as a great long-term position. However, I am looking at shares trading over 30x forward AFFO while the 2-year Treasury is over 4% (4.16% presently), the 10-year is at 4.535%, and the 30-year is at 5.054%. I’m feeling a bit skeptical about multiples around 30x AFFO (or higher) in this environment. If we assume that REITs with more “normal” growth levels typically trade around 14x to 20x AFFO, then we have to assume several years of strong growth. While that’s certainly possible, I wouldn’t want to use it as the base scenario.
AFFO Estimates And Multiple Our sheets are currently using a forward estimate of $2.19.
If we were to use AFFO estimates for the next 4 quarters starting with Q3 2026, then the consensus estimate would increase to $2.25. That’s better, but not substantially better.
Even if we use the $2.25 value, at $68.68 shares would be trading a hair over 30.5x forward AFFO estimates.
If we use $2.18 or $2.19, the multiple is 31.36x or 31.50x, respectively.
That’s a pretty high multiple given the Treasury yields. While I still really like TRNO, I felt it was prudent to harvest gains here.
The REIT Forum
Note: TRNO has rallied even higher since we closed our position. As of 7/15/2026, shares are at $72.09.
Why TRNO Can Achieve A High Multiple Our thesis played out well with the industrial real estate portfolio delivering strong growth in same property NOI (Net Operating Income). That drove significant growth in AFFO per share, which supports TRNO trading at pretty high multiples of AFFO per share. The market likes seeing strong growth across several key indicators. However, the valuation still hit a point where I felt it was prudent to just take the gains.
Issuing Shares TRNO was issuing equity during Q1 2026:
TRNO
They felt it was reasonable to issue it at $64.85, and I agree with them. That was a very reasonable price for choosing to issue new equity. Issuing at $68.68 (5.9% higher) would make even more sense. That’s the right choice for management as they look to maximize value for shareholders.
Impact Of Treasury Rates The last time I purchased TRNO was in 2023 at $62.99. That’s not dramatically lower than the current price. The AFFO multiple was similar. What changed?
Well, the interest rate scenario changed quite a bit as shown by the 10-year and 30-year Treasury rates:
MBSLive
MBSLive
The 10-year Treasury yield is up 60 basis points (that means 0.60%) and currently trending higher (based on the current yield relative to the moving averages). The 30-year is up just over 100 basis points and also in a trend higher.
That feels ugly. It’s been less of an issue for TRNO since they have such little debt on their balance sheet. Consequently, they have been less exposed to interest rate pressure than most equity REITs. However, it makes it harder to justify high multiples.
Adjusted EBITDA/Total Enterprise Value Doing a full model for “Market Implied Cap Rate” is pretty slow. In theory it seems like it would be quick to update, but in practice it can get messy doing quarter after quarter.
A simpler method is calculating adjusted EBITDA to Total Enterprise Value. It is less precise (which is negative), but it factors in overhead (which is positive).
Total Enterprise Value = Market value of equity + total debt + preferred stock + minority interest - cash and near-cash items.
Often there won’t be preferred stock or minority interest, which makes it even simpler.
The bigger question is simply which version of EBITDA we want to use. Do we use the most recent quarter? Do we try to run a forward estimate? Sometimes the answers matter a great deal, and sometimes they don’t. In this case, the picture is pretty clear regardless. One adjustment I really like to make, though, is to revise “adjusted EBITDA” by deducting stock-based compensation. That’s fundamentally overhead by another name.
Goal Of Calculation This is a way to approximate the amount of adjusted EBITDA the company is producing relative to the total value assigned to the company.
It can be a quick way to compare REITs. However, investors should be aware that all REITS do not simply deserve to trade at the same valuation. That would be silly. Some properties are simply more desirable, and some management teams are superior. For now I’m simply going to refer to adjusted EBITDA minus stock-based compensation as “revised EBITDA.” I wanted to compare TRNO with Rexford (REXR).
Using Q1 2026, I came to the following estimates when removing stock-based compensation:
TRNO at $68.62 has a revised EBITDA yield of 3.96%. This is why it makes sense for TRNO to issue shares.
REXR at $34.42 has a revised EBITDA yield of 6.12%. This is why it makes sense for REXR to repurchase shares.
Note: We don’t want to use growth rates in adjusted EBITDA or revised EBITDA unless we control for the expected change in the shares outstanding and net debt outstanding.
That’s the gap in valuation. It is very material.
Hypothetically, what if REXR climbed all the way to our “overpriced” level? The revised EBITDA yield would drop from 6.12% to 4.79%.
Final Thoughts I expect that TRNO will do a better job (than REXR) of growing every metric over the next year or two. However, I don’t expect it to be remotely large enough to offset the enormous gap in these valuation metrics.
We currently view TRNO as overpriced despite the company's strong execution. Even after our sale, shares continued climbing. We'll continue watching the company closely because it's still one of my favorite REITs. I simply don't like today's valuation. Here is the record of our sale:

Key Takeaways NVIDIA combines strong earnings growth expectations with positive estimate revisions for the current year. Neurocrine Biosciences qualified with rising earnings estimates and projected earnings growth of 48.4%. Ball made the screen on improving earnings estimates and expected 11.8% earnings growth this year. Earnings growth is essential for organizations of all sizes because sustained profitability is key to survival. To calculate earnings, examine a company’s revenues over a certain period and subtract the production costs. A company’s earnings have a significant influence on its share price, with earnings expectations playing a key role in determining market performance.
Against this backdrop, NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA - Free Report) , Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (NBIX - Free Report) and Ball Corporation (BALL - Free Report) are delivering strong and impressive earnings growth, making them compelling investment opportunities for the second half of this year.
Earnings Estimates & Share Price Movements We have frequently seen stock prices decline despite earnings growth or rally after an earnings decline. This is largely the result of a company’s earnings failing to meet market expectations.
Earnings estimates reflect analysts’ views on factors such as sales growth, product demand, the competitive industry environment, profit margins, and cost control. Consequently, earnings estimates are a valuable tool for making investment decisions. They also help analysts evaluate cash flow to determine a firm's fair value.
Thus, investors should be on the lookout for stocks ready to make a big move. Such stocks should have a history of earnings growth and rising quarterly and annual earnings estimates.
Research Wizard: Your Shortcut to Finding Winning StocksTo shortlist stocks that have striking earnings growth and positive estimate revisions, we have added the following parameters:
Zacks Rank less than or equal to 2 (Only Zacks' 'Buys' and 'Strong Buys' are allowed. With the Zacks Rank proving itself to be one of the best rating systems out there, this is a great way to start things off.)
5-Year Historical EPS Growth (%) greater than X-Industry (stocks with a strong EPS growth history).
% Change EPS F(0)/F(-1) greater than or equal to 5 (companies that saw year-over-year earnings growth of 5% or more in the last reported fiscal).
% Change Q1 Estimates over the last 4 weeks greater than zero (stocks that have seen their current quarter earnings estimates revised higher in the last 4 weeks).
% Change F1 Estimates over the last 1 week greater than zero (stocks that have seen their annual earnings estimates revised higher in the last 1 week).
% Change F1 Estimates over the last 4 weeks greater than zero (stocks that have seen their annual earnings estimates revised higher in the last 4 weeks).
The above criteria narrowed the universe of around 7,839 stocks to only 24. Here are the top three stocks:
NVIDIA NVIDIA is a leading AI infrastructure company with operations across the United States, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Europe and other global markets. The company’s expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 90.8%. NVDA currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) (read more: Missed NVIDIA's 900% Run? Micron Could Be AI's Next Big Winner).

The company’s expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 48.4%. NBIX currently has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Buffett on Stock Market ValuationsThat $397 billion continues to sit on the sidelines as stocks hit record highs across many sectors.
Buffett said he fails to see value in many investments and thinks the stock market is getting closer to a casino.
"It’s tough to find values when everybody is preferring gambling," Buffett told CNBC Wednesday.
The legendary investor said the market today is driven more by speculative trading and not long-term investing.
"There are times when opportunities are just thrown at you so fast you can’t, you know, it’s unbelievable. There’s other times when you’re very, very lucky if you find one thing in a couple of years. And it should always be that the, the latter is what prevails."
Buffett said that humans like to gamble, which means there’s more money in "cultivating gamblers than there are cultivating investors."
In the first quarter, Berkshire Hathaway took new positions in three stocks, believing there was value upside in companies like Delta Air Lines, Alphabet and Macy’s. The company also sold off many old positions and took the overall investment portfolio from 42 positions to 29.
The company’s continued bet on holding cash and looking for value has the stock underperforming (-1.4%) against the S&P 500 (+10.0%) once again in 2026.
Buffett vs. Stock Market TrendsBuffett has become more outspoken about the recent stock market trends and shifting investor appetite.
In May, he compared the stock market to "a church with a casino attached." The legendary investor was critical of new investment instruments like one-day options, which he called "gambling" rather than investing.
"Robinhood has become a very significant part of the casino aspect of the casino group that has joined into the stock market in the last year or year and a half," Buffett said at the time.
Buffett said what Robinhood is doing isn’t immoral or illegal but cautioned that it is capitalizing on investors who are gambling on the stock market.
"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public — it’s not the most admirable part of the accomplishment."
Whether Buffett’s value discipline pays off again — or leaves Berkshire trailing a momentum-driven market — remains the open question for the rest of 2026.

Berkshire Hathaway first bought Alphabet Class A (GOOGL) shares in the third quarter of 2025, and later increased the position in the first quarter of 2026.
Today, Berkshire Hathaway owns 54,249,798 GOOGL shares, which were worth $15.6 billion at the end of the first quarter and the company’s seventh largest stock investment.
Berkshire also took an initial stake in Alphabet Class C shares (GOOG) in the first quarter, a position worth $1 billion at the end of the first quarter, ranking 19th in the investment portfolio.
Asked about who made the Alphabet play first between Buffett and his successor Greg Abel, the Oracle of Omaha didn’t hold back.
"I initiated it," Buffett told CNBC’s Becky Quick on Wednesday.
Buffett said he talks all the time with Abel, including since his retirement.
"I am not doing anything that he doesn’t approve of. He’s not doing anything I don’t approve of."
As the CEO, Abel is the "decider," Buffett clarified Wednesday.
Along with investing in Class A and Class C shares, Berkshire Hathaway also participated in a private placement of $10 billion from Alphabet, helping to fund the company’s future growth.
"The trick in life is to find – I mean investing – is to find businesses that are going to earn high returns on capital for an extended period of time."
Finally taking a position in Alphabet stock in 2025, Buffett has previously expressed regret for not buying the Magnificent Seven stock sooner. Berkshire Hathaway owns the Geico insurance brand and recognized early the success of Google’s advertising business through Geico ads.
While he’s a fan of Alphabet stock going forward, Buffett remains cautious on the large amount of spending being done to compete in the AI sector.
"The real question with Google and all of its competitors now, because they’re all laying out hundreds of billions, and that’s real money. That’s the game they’re playing now. They weren’t playing that game with computer software."
Buffett also said that Alphabet is not his favorite Berkshire Hathaway position or owned business.
"I would say that I don’t like it as well as at least four or five other businesses that we own."
Buffett on Apple StockAnother stock covered in his interview with CNBC was Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), which is the largest holding in the Berkshire Hathaway investment portfolio.
Even with Tim Cook stepping down as CEO, Apple is one of Buffett’s favorite stocks.
"I know more about Apple than I knew many years ago," Buffett told CNBC.
Berkshire Hathaway holds 227,917,808 AAPL shares as of the end of the first quarter, a position tat was worth $57.8 billion at the end of March and represented 22% of the investment portfolio.
"If you’re Apple, you’ve got very, very smart people all over the world shooting and trying to figure out how to make sure that, that Apple’s future, the future is as bright as the past."
