Market Signal Briefing

A March 18 JPMorgan analysis highlighted Hyperliquid as an emerging platform for crude oil futures activity among professional traders The HYPE token advanced approximately 3.5% to reach $42.50 after Trade[XYZ] introduced S&P 500 perpetual futures contracts Trade[XYZ] secured official licensing from S&P Dow Jones Indices to offer blockchain-based derivatives using the flagship index on Hyperliquid After establishing a low point at $22, HYPE has developed a pattern of ascending peaks and troughs since mid-January Critical resistance levels are positioned between $42–$44; a successful breach could propel prices toward $50 and subsequently $59.80 The HYPE token experienced an approximately 3.5% appreciation this week, reaching $42.50, fueled by dual developments — institutional recognition from JPMorgan regarding decentralized crude oil futures activity and the introduction of the first officially authorized S&P 500 perpetual contract on the network.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) Price In their March 18 analysis, JPMorgan researchers identified Hyperliquid as an accelerating destination for professional crude oil futures participants. The assessment revealed that market participants from conventional trading environments are leveraging oil-pegged perpetual instruments on the decentralized exchange to execute trades beyond traditional market operating hours.

Traditional venues like the Chicago Mercantile Exchange maintain limited operating windows, closing overnight and throughout weekends. Global geopolitical developments, however, operate continuously. When recent weekend tensions escalated involving Iran, perpetual oil contracts on Hyperliquid experienced dramatic volume spikes while conventional exchanges remained offline.

The JPMorgan assessment further observed that decentralized platforms are progressively capturing market share from mid-tier centralized trading venues, propelled by enhanced user interfaces, strengthened liquidity pools, and increasing institutional acceptance of blockchain-based settlement mechanisms.

Official S&P 500 Perpetual Contracts Debut on Hyperliquid Infrastructure S&P Dow Jones Indices entered a licensing arrangement with Trade[XYZ], a protocol specializing in tokenized real-world asset derivatives operating on Hyperliquid’s blockchain infrastructure. This collaboration produced what’s characterized as the first formally authorized perpetual futures instrument tracking the S&P 500 within decentralized finance.

Eligible participants located outside United States jurisdiction can establish leveraged long or short exposures to the benchmark index continuously, without contract expiration constraints. The instrument incorporates S&P DJI’s institutional-quality, live index data streams — distinguishing it from earlier unofficial S&P 500 proxies circulating in DeFi markets.

The S&P 500 benchmark supports more than $1 trillion in aggregate daily transaction volume across conventional financial products. Introducing an officially sanctioned blockchain version enables continuous market access aligned with cryptocurrency trading schedules rather than equity market operating hours.

Chart Analysis: Critical Price Zones in Focus HYPE established a significant floor at $22 after completing a downward trend spanning November through mid-January. Subsequently, the asset has executed a V-shaped reversal characterized by progressively higher peaks and elevated support levels.

On March 16, price action penetrated upward from a rising wedge formation visible on daily timeframes. The 20-period exponential moving average is advancing above the 50-period EMA, while the Relative Strength Index approaches 70. The MACD indicator displays a bullish intersection accompanied by expanding positive histogram bars.

Market technician Mizer observed that failure to maintain support above the $42–$44 corridor could trigger retracement toward $40–$38, potentially extending to $36–$32. He additionally highlighted that HYPE’s price movements have exhibited strong correlation patterns with Bitcoin’s trajectory.

Immediate overhead resistance occupies the $42 to $44 range. A convincing breakout above this zone establishes preliminary upside objectives at $50, followed by $59.80, based on technical projections referenced in market analysis.

Bitget announced that its CFD business has reached a new all-time high in single-day trading volume, surpassing $6 billion and marking a significant milestone in the platform’s continued expansion across multi-asset trading.

The milestone reflects a broader shift in trading behaviour.

As volatility spreads across commodities, currencies, and indices, users are no longer focused on a single market.

Activity increased across gold, oil, forex, and major indices as recent macro developments drove broader price movements across traditional financial markets. 

Gold rallied to record levels amid safe-haven demand, while oil, major currency pairs, and global indices saw sharp price swings driven by geopolitical developments and changing interest rate expectations.

Rather than reacting within isolated markets, traders are engaging multiple asset classes simultaneously.

“Markets are moving together more than ever, and traders are responding the same way,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.

“What stands out is not just the volume, but how it’s distributed across assets. Surpassing $6 billion in a single day is a clear signal of where our users' attention is going.”

Bitget’s CFD offering allows users to trade contracts linked to global assets while maintaining margin in USDT, removing the need to transfer capital across separate broker environments.

Through integrated access to multiple markets, users can respond to developments in commodities, currencies, and indices alongside crypto positions within the same account environment. 

The latest volume milestone signals growing demand for trading environments that bring multiple asset classes into one place.

Within Bitget’s Universal Exchange (UEX) model, crypto, commodities, forex, and indices operate side by side under a single account structure, allowing users to move across markets without friction.

As financial activity becomes increasingly interconnected, this unified approach is positioning Bitget at the centre of how modern trading is evolving.

The recent CoinShares weekly report revealed that XRP products recorded outflows last week, a stark contrast from Ethereum and Solana, which had noticeable inflows. While this divergence could signal that capital is rotating into other altcoins, XRP’s bullish momentum over the last week has remained strong, following a nearly 7% weekly gain and a surge in open interest to more than $1.2 billion.

XRP Products Record Outflows as Crypto Market Rebounds Data from CoinShares shows that last week, XRP recorded $76 million in outflows. This marked the second consecutive week of outflows for XRP products per the report. This performance failed to mirror that of other assets, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, which continue to amass interest from institutional investors.

During the week, Ethereum products recorded $315 million in outflows, while Solana recorded $9 million in inflows. Other altcoins, including SUI and Chainlink, also recorded inflows of $3 million and $2.65 million, respectively.

Data from SoSoValue also shows that spot XRP ETFs have been in the red for the last two consecutive weeks, with outflows during this period totalling $32 million. Despite this, XRP ETF’s net assets have remained above $1 billion. 

XRP Price Surges as Open Interest Hits $1.2B While institutional interest in XRP has waned, retail interest has remained noticeably high, as seen in the price surge over the last seven days. Per CoinMarketCap data, XRP has gained by 7.59% in seven days to trade at $1.50 at press time, with its market cap reclaiming $94 million.

The gains could be attributed to rising demand, as trading volumes rose more than 70% to $5.2 billion. On the other hand, the open interest has also increased to $1.2 billion according to Coinglass data, suggesting that traders have been actively opening derivative positions to position themselves for future gains.

At $1.2 billion, XRP’s open interest is the highest in six weeks, and as it continues to rise in tandem with the price, it will signal a resumption of bullish momentum. Besides, the funding rate is positive, a sign that most traders are opening long positions, anticipating further price surges.

Despite these gains, the market sentiment has yet to fully shift from bearish to bullish. The crypto fear and greed index stood at 28, indicating fear, even as prices surge.

XRP is entering a critical phase as a key level that supported prices through most of 2025 now acts as a barrier to recovery.

The $1.80 mark, once a reliable floor, flipped into resistance in January 2026 and has remained out of reach since.

Even as new developments emerge on the XRP Ledger, including AI-driven payment systems, price action continues to reflect a broader downtrend.

Analysts say the token remains under pressure unless it can reclaim that level.

Key level flips to resistanceThroughout 2025, XRP traded within a wide parallel channel, with resistance near $3.45 and support around $1.80.

The token stayed inside that range even after reaching an all-time high of $3.60 in July 2025, though price action weakened with lower highs forming.

That structure broke in February 2026 when XRP closed below $1.80 for the first time.

Since then, the same level has acted as a ceiling. Each attempt to move higher has been rejected below that zone.

AltCryptoGems analyst Sjuul highlighted that the pattern of lower highs and lower lows remains intact on the daily chart, continuing to define XRP’s direction.

Rally stalls below $1.60A rebound between March 9 and March 16 offered some relief, with XRP recording seven gains in eight days.

The token rose around 15%, reclaiming $1.50 and closing at $1.54 on March 16.

However, the recovery faded quickly. A push towards $1.60 stalled at $1.6074 earlier in the week, followed by three straight days of decline.

XRP is now trading slightly higher than $1.46, up by 0.29% in the last 24 hours.

Source: CoinMarketCap

The rally followed a drop to $1.27 on February 28 during the initial market reaction to the Israel Iran conflict.

The move above $1.50 reflected a rebound rather than a reversal.

Downside zone comes into focusWith resistance holding, attention is shifting to lower price zones.

Sjuul identifies the $1.20 to $1.30 range as a key area if selling pressure increases.

This range saw limited activity during XRP’s rapid rally in November 2024, when the price moved through it quickly, leaving weaker support.

Since then, the zone has acted as a cushion during pullbacks. If XRP continues to fail at $1.80, a move back towards this range becomes more likely.

AI payments add fresh narrativeDevelopments on the XRP Ledger are adding a new dimension to the token’s long-term story.

t54 announced that autonomous AI agents can make payments natively on XRPL using XRP and Ripple USD.

The system runs on the x402 facilitator, introduced in 2025 by Coinbase and Cloudflare as a standard for machine-native payments.

The update, shared on social media, outlined how agents can handle transactions, manage escrowed tasks, and verify outcomes.

t54, founded by Chandler Fang, is building infrastructure for an agent-driven economy.

The company raised $5 million in a February seed round co-led by Anagram, PL Capital, and Franklin Templeton, with Ripple joining as a strategic investor.

These developments connect XRP to the intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain payments.

Its impact on price will depend on whether agent-based commerce gains adoption at scale.

In brief Bitcoin topped $71,000 Friday morning following the U.S. Treasury Secretary’s outlining of possible responses to soaring oil prices. Scott Bessent suggested the U.S. could waive some sanctions on Iranian oil already at sea, and mulled further releases from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The rally followed a volatile period where Bitcoin dropped below $70,000 Thursday as Brent crude surged to $119 per barrel. Bitcoin climbed to highs over $71,000 Friday morning, recovering from earlier weakness as efforts continued to stabilize oil supplies disrupted in the Strait of Hormuz.

The cryptocurrency is currently trading at $70,547, flat on the day according to CoinGecko data, after reaching an intraday high of $71,261 early Friday. The cryptocurrency's price bounce came after a tumultuous period where Bitcoin slipped below $70,000 on Thursday as Brent crude oil prices hit $119 per barrel amid attacks on Persian Gulf energy facilities, triggering over $500 million in crypto liquidations.

The news comes as U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent mulled responses to surging oil prices, including the lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil cargoes already at sea and a further release from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Nevertheless, market participants remain watchful of further disruptions, with analysts warning that oil could rise as high as $200 per barrel if the Strait of Hormuz—a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies—faces extended closure.

The broader market remains sensitive to oil price swings and geopolitical developments in the Middle East, with the correlation between crypto and energy markets strengthening as institutional investors increasingly treat digital assets as part of broader risk portfolios.

Bitcoin’s price movements are a second-order consequence of elevated energy prices, one analyst told Decrypt earlier in the month. Higher energy prices could encourage the Fed to keep interest rates higher for longer, which could “overall be bad for crypto,” GSR research analyst Carlos Guzman explained, noting that lower interest rates generally incentivize investors to shift capital toward riskier assets.

On prediction market Myriad, owned by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, users expect oil prices to continue rising, placing a 63% chance on oil’s next move taking it to $120 rather than $55. Bitcoin’s outlook has turned bearish according to Myriad predictors, who place a 51% chance on its next move taking it to $84,000 rather than $55,000—down from highs of 65% earlier in the week.

TLDR: Tom Lee sets a baseline ETH price of $12,000 using the 8-year average ETH/BTC ratio of 0.0479 at $250K BTC. At the 2021 cycle peak ratio of 0.087, Lee projects Ethereum could trade near $22,000 with Bitcoin at $250,000. Lee’s bull case puts ETH at $62,000 if the ETH/BTC ratio climbs to 0.25, driven by institutional finance adoption. BitMine holds over 4.59 million ETH worth $10 billion, targeting 5% of total Ethereum supply through its treasury strategy. Ethereum price could climb as high as $62,000, based on projections from Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee. His forecast draws on the historical ETH/BTC ratio alongside a Bitcoin price target of $250,000.

Separately, BitMine has accumulated more than 4.5 million ETH as its primary treasury asset. Combined with cash and other holdings, the company’s total treasury now stands at approximately $11.5 billion.

Both developments are shaping the conversation around Ethereum’s long-term institutional role in the crypto market.

Tom Lee’s ETH/BTC Ratio Framework for Ethereum Price Tom Lee applies the long-term ETH/BTC ratio as the core method for valuing Ethereum against Bitcoin. Over the past eight years, that ratio has averaged approximately 0.0479.

At that average, with Bitcoin at $250,000, Ethereum would be priced at roughly $12,000. This baseline case reflects a return to historical norms rather than an extreme outcome.

🔥TOM LEE: Ethereum Could Reach $62,000 If It Hits This ETH/BTC Ratio

Tom Lee has a simple way to figure out what $ETH might "fairly" be worth compared to $BTC. He looks at the historical ratio of ETH to BTC and uses that to estimate ETH's price if Bitcoin hits his target of… pic.twitter.com/Q0DIzz1aUd

— Ethereum Daily (@ETH_Daily) March 20, 2026

Lee also references the 2021 bull cycle as a second price benchmark in his model. During that run, the ETH/BTC ratio peaked at approximately 0.087.

Should Ethereum return to that level with Bitcoin at $250,000, ETH could trade near $22,000. That outcome would mirror the peak conditions of the previous major crypto cycle.

Lee’s most aggressive scenario places the ETH/BTC ratio at 0.25. This projection assumes Ethereum becomes the dominant infrastructure for institutional finance and Wall Street settlement.

Under that bull case, ETH could reach between $60,000 and $62,000. This level implies Ethereum replacing traditional financial rails entirely.

As of writing, Ethereum trades at $2,155.69, and Bitcoin is priced at $70,814.14. The present ETH/BTC ratio remains well below all three of Lee’s target levels. For any of his projections to come within reach, both assets would need to rally considerably from here.

BitMine Builds an Ethereum Treasury Targeting 5% of Supply BitMine currently holds 4,595,562 ETH, accounting for approximately 3.81% of Ethereum’s total circulating supply. At $2,185 per token, that position carries a market value of more than $10 billion. The company has set a goal of accumulating around 5% of total circulating ETH.

Of the total holdings, approximately 3.04 million ETH is staked through the company’s MAVAN program. This staking arrangement generates annualized yield on a large portion of BitMine’s treasury.

Consequently, the company earns passive income while continuing to grow its overall Ethereum position over time.

Beyond its ETH stake, BitMine holds $1.2 billion in cash and minor positions in other digital assets. Together with its Ethereum holdings, the total treasury value reaches approximately $11.5 billion. That places BitMine among the most ETH-concentrated treasury companies in the crypto space today.

BitMine originally operated as an immersion cooling and mining company before pivoting to this strategy in 2025.

The shift placed Ethereum at the center of its balance sheet, closely following MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin treasury model.

This move reflects a growing pattern of public companies building digital asset reserves as a core financial strategy.

Cardano DeFi reaches a record 520 million ADA TVL as of March 20, 2026. With SEC clarity and the USDCx launch, is the one billion ADA milestone next?

The Cardano ecosystem has officially secured a historic milestone, as the total value locked in native tokens has surpassed 520.41 million ADA, according to DefiLlama. The price is consolidating around $0.27, while the blockchain’s internal liquidity continues to grow methodically. This record is not random luck but the result of the network’s long-term maturation, reinforced by key developments this year.

How SEC victory and USDCx fuel surge for Cardano (ADA)Perhaps the main event was the launch of USDCx, a long-awaited stablecoin that enabled a seamless connection between Cardano and the global crypto market. USDCx already accounts for 36% of the network’s total stablecoin market share. The presence of a reliable stablecoin has allowed daily trading volumes across Cardano DEX and perps platforms to rise to a combined $374 million.

The second major development can be considered the final assignment of commodity-like status to the asset. Although the decision came recently, the growth in TVL suggests ecosystem participants had been anticipating such an outcome.

HOT Stories

Cardano Total Value Locked, Source: DefiLlamaAfter prolonged legal scrutiny, the SEC officially clarified that ADA is not a security, removing the regulatory overhang that had been restraining capital inflows. This clarity also explains why Cardano-based ETF products had not emerged earlier. Now, large funds can utilize the Cardano protocol without hesitation, and a steady inflow of new liquidity can be expected.

You Might Also Like

If the recent progress is capitalized as it should be, the milestone of one billion ADA in TVL could become a reality within the coming quarters. The primary drivers, as noted, will be USDCx adoption and regulatory clarity.

It is also important to keep in mind the upcoming v11 hard fork, which is set to increase Cardano’s throughput to 1,000 TPS, expected by the end of March.

Atlantic Lithium Ltd (AIM:ALL, ASX:A11, OTCID:ALLIF) said Ghana’s Parliament has ratified the mining lease for its Ewoyaa lithium project, handing the developer a key de-risking milestone as it pushes funding talks and works toward a final investment decision on what could become Ghana’s first lithium mine.

The approval gives formal backing to the proposed Ewoyaa mine and processing plant. Atlantic said the ratified lease allows it to advance discussions on project financing, with the company framing the move as a major step toward first production of spodumene.

The lease, first granted in October 2023, gives Atlantic exclusive rights to mine and produce commercially across the project area for an initial 15-year period, renewable under Ghanaian law. Revised fiscal terms bring the royalty rate and Growth and Sustainability Levy into line with current legislation, with a new sliding royalty scale now legally binding for lithium projects in Ghana.

Chief executive Keith Muller called the vote a “watershed moment” for both the company and Ghana.

"We are delighted to have the full support of the Government as we work towards achieving first production of spodumene. Having already built itself to become a leading gold producer, Ghana has now taken a major step towards a new lithium future," Keith Muller said.

He added: "We now look to the various milestones ahead of us with excitement as we pursue the path to production.

"To this end, shortly, we intend to provide further clarity on the outcomes of the work we completed through H2 2025 to enhance the viability of the project through ongoing commodity price volatility. This work will help define the direction of the project's development and inform the steps to be taken ahead of a project final investment decision."

Atlantic Lithium also said it expects to provide further detail shortly on work completed in the second half of 2025 to improve Ewoyaa’s economics amid continued lithium price volatility, helping shape the next steps ahead of a final investment decision.

When it comes to investing in the stock market, talk is often cheap. Forecasts from management teams are often viewed skeptically, and shareholders are typically not enthusiastic about buying a stock if they don't see a management team with skin in the game.

That said, when management or a chief executive officer does purchase a material amount of their company's stock, it can be viewed as a strong signal to shareholders that management is confident in what they are doing. Why else burn their own money?

Recently, new Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA) (BRKB 0.62%) CEO Greg Abel sent Wall Street an undeniable signal about the company's stock. It couldn't be any clearer.

Double-dipping Abel took the reins of Berkshire at the start of this year, stepping into the big shoes left by Warren Buffett, who ran the sprawling conglomerate for roughly six decades and is widely considered the best value investor of all time. During his tenure, Buffett turned Berkshire into one of the largest insurance companies in the U.S. and built huge businesses in energy and mortgages, among others.

Image source: The Motley Fool.

Buffett also increased Berkshire's stock portfolio to more than $300 billion in total value and built up a hoard of cash and short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, valued at close to $370 billion at the end of 2025.

Despite leaving the company in strong shape, Berkshire's stock has not been a great performer recently since Buffett announced his retirement. The stock has declined about 7% during the past year while the S&P 500 index rose almost 17%.

Although nobody expects Abel to be another Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha handpicked Abel to succeed him. Abel previously served as the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Energy.

As the year kicked off, Abel became more visible, first with an 18-page letter to shareholders that outlined how he plans to run the company. Soon after that, Abel gave Wall Street an undeniable signal that couldn't have been clearer.

In early March, Abel plowed $15 million of his own money into Berkshire stock, an amount equivalent to his after-tax annual salary. Berkshire also said on the same day that it would resume share repurchases for the first time since 2024, and it bought back $225 million worth of stock on March 4. This is a clear sign to investors that Abel views Berkshire stock as undervalued.

Following in Buffett's footsteps These moves aligns with Buffett's philosophy of putting your money where your mouth is. Buffett only received an annual salary of $100,000 from Berkshire, which also does not issue stock options to employees. Most of Buffett's wealth was made by owning Berkshire stock. As of mid-2025, Buffett owned more than 37% of Berkshire's Class A shares and held a total stake valued at roughly $149 billion, according to CNBC.

In his first annual letter to shareholders, Abel said the company's share repurchase policy remains unchanged; the company will conduct share repurchases when management believes the market value of Berkshire Hathaway trades for less than its perceived intrinsic value.

In fact, if you look at Berkshire's market price to its tangible book value (TBV), the stock currently trades at a lower valuation than its five-year historic average. TBV is essentially a measure of a company's equity after subtracting its intangible assets and goodwill and represents the value of a company in a theoretical liquidation scenario. Valuing companies based on their TBV is a frequent way investors value bank and insurance stocks.

BRK.B Price to Tangible Book Value data by YCharts

A good sign for shareholders When Buffett announced his retirement at Berkshire's annual meeting last year, it definitely caught the market off guard and caused some angst among investors. Buffett gave the stock a premium valuation because of his superb track record over six decades, during which Berkshire Hathaway's stock trounced the broader market's returns.

Once it became clear that Abel, while more than capable as a leader, would not be given that same premium and would have to show the market he could lead Berkshire into the future without Buffett.

Although change at Berkshire is likely in the future, I think it's a good sign that, so far, Abel is following many of the same principles that made Buffett into the legend he is today and Berkshire into one of the strongest companies in the world.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Navan misled investors by failing to inform them that it would need to massively ramp up its sales and marketing expenditures after the IPO to achieve usage yield growth, grow its Gross Booking Volume, and sustain revenues. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the IPO period. When the market learned the truth about Navan, investors suffered damages.

Travel and leisure stocks are leading gains on the FTSE 100 today, as a pullback in oil prices improved sentiment after weeks of conflict‑driven volatility in the Middle East. Investors appeared encouraged by a modest retreat in Brent crude, which helped risk assets rally after recent geopolitical shocks had weighed heavily on energy‑sensitive sectors.

Oil prices eased after Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu said Israel would no longer target Iran’s energy infrastructure, with Brent crude oil down 1.2% at $107.37 a barrel after briefly spiking to $119 on Thursday.

Budget airline easyJet PLC (LSE:EZJ) stood out as one of the biggest gainers, climbing more than 3% in early trade, reducing its losses since the conflict started to  24%. Reports suggest the stock is benefiting from hopes of stabilising jet‑fuel costs after soaring energy prices battered airline valuations in recent weeks.

Hotel and travel names also caught a bid. Intercontinental Hotels Group PLC (LSE:IHG) saw its share price rise more than 3%, reflecting optimism of a broader recovery in travel demand should energy costs remain contained and geopolitical fears ease. Meanwhile, International Consolidated Airlines Group SA (LSE:IAG), owner of British Airways, traded 2.6% higher as market participants bought into a rebound off recent lows that were triggered by conflict‑related sell‑offs and sharply higher fuel expectations.

These leisure and airline stocks have been among the hardest hit by the Middle East conflict, which closed key air corridors and sent jet fuel prices to multi‑month highs, squeezing margins and eroding investor confidence.

The agency last week agreed to release emergency stocks but said Friday that the demand side is also a crucial part of the energy security equation.

Centuri Holdings (NYSE:CTRI), a Phoenix-based publicly traded utility infrastructure services company, opened 2026 with a statement: more than $870 million in new commercial awards spanning MSA renewals with East Coast utilities, a new gas distribution MSA in the Southwest, and a natural gas storage and compression facility.

The announcement crystallizes the central tension surrounding this infrastructure services company: its backlog is surging, its debt is falling, and its stock has already priced in a lot of good news.

A Backlog Built for Growth Centuri ended 2025 with a $5.9 billion backlog, up 59% from the prior year, 82% of which was MSA work. For 2026, the company already has approximately $1.1 billion in year-to-date bookings, covering over 85% of the midpoint of its 2026 base revenue guidance. CEO Christian Brown was nothing but direct on the earnings call: “Coming into 2025, we set a goal to achieve a 1.1x book-to-bill ratio. We did not just exceed our goal; we shifted it, delivering a 1.5x book-to-bill for the year. In total, our bookings surpassed $4.5 billion.”

The $13 billion opportunity pipeline includes a data center segment that Brown described with notable specificity: “Of the $2.0 billion, $1.3 billion is real today, where we have got comfort that the client has funding, all the permits are in place, and it is a real contract. We are tendering that $1.3 billion as we speak.”

The Debt Picture Is Improving, But Demands Respect The leverage story shifted meaningfully in the second half of 2025, and, after a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA of 3.8x in Q3 2025, the company executed a November 2025 equity offering that raised approximately $251 million in net proceeds, using the bulk of the proceeds to pay down debt.

Centuri CFO Greg Izenstark confirmed the result: “We ended the year with a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.5x, down from 3.6x at year-end 2024. In 2026, we plan to further delever and forecast net debt to adjusted EBITDA of around 2.0x by year-end.”

This infographic from 24/7 Wall St. details Centuri Holdings’ (CTRI) financial health, highlighting its surging backlog, falling leverage, and recent quarterly performance. A Term Loan B repricing in March 2026 secured a 25 basis point rate reduction, and the CFO expects 2026 interest expense to run about 30% lower than 2025. With the 10-year Treasury at 4.20%, the rate environment remains a watchful backdrop for a company still carrying meaningful leverage.

Revenue Beats, Earnings Misses: The Margin Problem Centuri’s 2025 story was consistent: revenue beat estimates every quarter while adjusted EPS missed every quarter. In Q4, revenue of $858.60 million beat the consensus by 15.93%, yet adjusted EPS of $0.17 missed the ~$0.20 estimate.

Full-year adjusted net income came in at $39 million, a 49% year-over-year increase, but the trailing P/E sits at 122, with a forward P/E of roughly 35x based on 2026 guidance, a multiple that would require a significant earnings ramp to materialize.

Management outlined four margin levers: addressing Q1 gas-seasonality, improving fleet efficiency by at least 20%, driving crew productivity in the fast-growing Non-Union Electric segment, and expanding bid-work margins. Non-Union Electric base gross profit margin already improved to 8.5% from 5.9% in 2024, suggesting the operational work is real, if still early.

A Stock That Has Run Hard As of March 19, 2026, shares are up 80% over the past year and 20.24% year-to-date, trading near the 52-week high of $32.38. The analyst consensus target of $31.32 implies limited upside from current levels, with ratings split between 4 buys and 2 strong sells. The backlog is real, the deleveraging is real, and end-market tailwinds from grid modernization and data center power demand are real. Whether the current valuation leaves enough margin for inevitable execution bumps is the question the market is still working through.

David Connolly
Head of Investor Relations & Corporate Communications

SoFi Technologies (SOFI 0.52%) was a huge winner last year as it dazzled the market with its high growth and innovation. The stock ended 2025 with a 70% gain, on top of a 55% gain the year before. However, it has started off on the wrong foot in 2026, down 33% year to date.

Right now, it trades at $17.40 per share, down from a high of $32.73 just this past November. Can SoFi get back to $30 by the end of the year?

Image source: The Motley Fool.

SoFi wants to be the future of banking SoFi is an all-digital bank that offers a large array of financial services on its easy-to-use app. Lending is its core segment, typically accounting for about half of total revenue, but its financial services segment is growing much faster. This segment includes all of the non-lending services like investing and cryptocurrency trading, which have recently returned to the platform. The company has introduced several new blockchain products, including a SoFi Stablecoin, and it aims to innovate and offer specialized products like access to initial public offerings (IPO).

SoFi also has a business-to-business segment that it calls Tech Platform. Management has likened it to the "Amazon Web Services (AWS) of financial services," and while it has been growing more slowly than its other segments, it has been adding value to the company recently by providing the infrastructure capabilities to launch new products quickly.

The concept is hitting a note with SoFi's target market of students and young professionals. It continues to report record new additions each quarter, reaching 1 million new customers in the 2025 fourth quarter. New products are outpacing new customers, with 1.6 million new ones in the fourth quarter, indicating that the company's cross-selling strategy is working.

Gaining 72% in 9 months won't be easy for SoFi, but it's doable For SoFi stock to get back to $30 by the end of the year, it would need to gain 72%. Adjusted net revenue increased 37% year over year in the 2025 fourth quarter, and earnings per share (EPS) were up 160%. If it continues to report this kind of growth, it could certainly gain 72% by the end of 2026.

Also in its favor are the fact that it has already hit a $30 price tag in the past year, and that the stock has become much cheaper as earnings rise and the price falls. At the current price, SoFi stock trades at 47 times trailing 12-month earnings, a discount to its three-year average, and 2.1 times book value, right about the average.

There are several other pieces that have to fall into place for SoFi stock to reach $30. If the broader market crashes or investors don't feel good about the economy, SoFi stock won't necessarily move higher. But whatever happens this year, SoFi is well-positioned to deliver for shareholders in the long run.
