No IRS Direct File in 2026: Here are the free ways to file your taxes now

The IRS has urged taxpayers to “Get Ready” ahead of the 2026 filing season. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/what-taxpayers-can-do-to-get-ready-for-the-2026-tax-filing-season https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/2026/01/05/when-will-2026-tax-season-start-how-to-file-your-2025-taxes-for-free/88028548007/

  • GPC Jumps 12.9% as O'Reilly Looks to Buy Auto Unit, Market Eyes Industrial Shift
    July 3, 2026, 5:13 AM EDT. Genuine Parts (GPC) shares soared 12.9% to $132.57 after news hit of O'Reilly Automotive's cash bid topping $10 billion for its auto-parts segment.

Even with a big stock surge, analysts left the consensus EPS at $2.10 for next quarter. Revenue is forecast up 3.6% to $6.39 billion from last year. Some say GPC may not hold onto gains unless earnings estimates start to climb. GPC is still rated Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
