November 26, 2025, 9:08 PM EST. January WTI crude (CLF26) and January RBOB gasoline (RBF26) settled higher on Wednesday, aided by dollar weakness.

Is Studio City International Holdings' Balance Sheet Healthy? An MSC Debt Review

November 26, 2025, 8:46 PM EST. Studio City International Holdings (MSC) carries a sizable debt load. As of September 2025, it had about US$2.06 billion in debt but only around US$99.4 million in cash, leaving net debt near US$1.96 billion. Liabilities total roughly US$2.13 billion versus cash and near-term receivables, signaling meaningful balance-sheet pressure. The company would likely need a major recapitalization if creditors demanded repayment, so investors should scrutinize leverage alongside earnings. Key metrics to watch include net debt to EBITDA and interest coverage, which show how debt weighs on profitability and cash flow. In sum, MSC's balance sheet points to risk and warrants careful monitoring of maturity risk, liquidity, and potential financing needs.

Studio City International (NYSE: MSC) Balance Sheet: Debt Burden and Recapitalization Risk

November 26, 2025, 8:44 PM EST. Studio City International Holdings (NYSE: MSC) carries about $2.06 billion in debt as of September 2025, with only $99.4 million in cash, leaving a net debt of roughly $1.96 billion. Liabilities total around $2.13 billion, larger than the company's current assets (cash and near-term receivables), creating notable balance-sheet pressure. The gap suggests potential refinancing needs if creditors demand repayment, depending on cash flow and earnings. Investors should gauge not only net debt/EBITDA and interest coverage, but also the company's ability to generate sustainable cash flow to support debt service. The balance sheet warrants close monitoring and could be a catalyst for recapitalization discussions if risk increases.

Studio City International (NYSE: MSC) Balance Sheet: Debt Burden and Recapitalization Risk

November 26, 2025, 8:36 PM EST. Studio City International Holdings carries substantial indebtedness, with a net debt of about US$1.96b after offsetting roughly US$99.4m in cash. Liabilities total about US$2.13b versus a liquidity cushion that may not fully cover them, given a market cap near US$685.6m. This balance-sheet gap raises liquidity risk and could necessitate a major re-capitalization if creditors demand repayment. In evaluating debt sustainability, analysts look at net debt/EBITDA and EBIT/interest coverage, but with cash flow pressures and limited buffers, risk remains elevated. Investors should monitor refinancing options, cash flow trends, and any steps to shore up capital, as a debt-heavy profile can weigh on returns even as earnings recover.

Sugar Prices Rally on Smaller Brazil Output; India Ethanol Push, ISO Surplus Outlook

November 26, 2025, 8:28 PM EST. Sugar prices firmed on Wednesday as the March NY world sugar #11 and March London white sugar #5 rose, after StoneX cut Brazil's 2026/27 Center-South output to 41.5 MMT from 42.1 MMT. The rally pushed prices to five-week highs. Support also came from India eyeing higher ethanol blending, which could divert cane crush from sugar, and from the 1.5 MMT export quota for 2025/26. Yet a global surplus backdrop persists, with the ISO forecasting a surplus for 2025-26 and Czarnikow lifting its surplus view. On the supply side, Brazil's Center-South October data and a higher cane-crush share boosted harvests, while ISMA raised India's 2025/26 production to about 31 MMT, underscoring a mixed fundamental landscape.

Sugar Prices Rally on Brazil Output Cut; ISO Forecasts Global Surplus

November 26, 2025, 8:27 PM EST. Sugar prices rose to 5-week highs after StoneX trimmed Brazil's 2026/27 Center-South production to 41.5 MMT, supporting NY #11 SBH26 and ICE white sugar. The rally was tempered by signs of a looming global surplus, with the ISO forecasting a 2025-26 surplus of about 1.6 MMT and global output seen up about 3.2%, driven by India, Thailand and Pakistan. Bullish factors include India considering higher ethanol blending, which could curb sugar supply, and India's export quota for 2025/26. Bearish headwinds include Brazil's record-like output in 2025/26 per Conab and rising Center-South crush for sugar, boosting supply. The market also digested late-November data from Unica and ISMA, while Czarnikow raised its 2025/26 surplus estimate to 8.7 MMT. Prices moved despite a broader sugar surplus backdrop.

Sugar Prices Jump on Signs of Smaller Brazil Output and Policy Shifts

November 26, 2025, 8:24 PM EST. Sugar prices firmed, with NY world sugar #11 up 0.23 and London white sugar #5 rising as traders digest supply shifts. StoneX trimmed Brazil's Center-South sugar output to 41.5 MMT from 42.1 MMT, helping support prices at five-week highs. The rally is underpinned by India's ethanol-blending push, which could divert cane crush toward ethanol and tighten sugar supplies. India also approved a 1.5 MMT export quota for 2025/26, aiding sentiment. On the bearish side, the ISO forecasts a sugar surplus in 2025-26 and a robust 181.8 MMT world production (+3.2% y/y), reflecting ample supplies despite occasional regional outages. In Brazil, crop forecasts remain elevated (Conab 45 MMT), keeping a lid on gains.

Krugman: Bitcoin Crash Signals Unraveling of the Trump Trade

November 26, 2025, 8:23 PM EST. Nobel laureate Paul Krugman argues Bitcoin's slump reflects an unraveling of the Trump trade. After an all-time high near $126,000, the Bitcoin price has dropped to about $87,000 as part of a broader ~$1 trillion crypto selloff that even touches the Trump family's holdings. Krugman links the decline to diminishing political power and a shift away from the policy path that once favored crypto investments, calling the move the unraveling of the Trump-backed narrative. He notes Trump's past calls for crypto-friendly steps and executive actions that encouraged crypto investors, though Trump's influence appears waning amid bipartisan pushes on disclosures and regulation. The piece underscores the tension between political signals and market volatility, with Krugman treating price action as a gauge of the fading Trump trade.

Coffee Prices Slip as EU Deforestation Delay Supports Global Supply Outlook

November 26, 2025, 8:20 PM EST. March Arabica (KCH26) settled down 0.94% and January ICE Robusta (RMF26) fell 1.01% as traders digest a 1-year delay to the EU's EUDR deforestation law, which should keep global supplies ample. The delay preserves imports from Africa, Indonesia and South America. Losses were trimmed by weather risks that could curb output: Brazil's Minas Gerais received rain, aiding Arabica; Vietnam's Dak Lak forecasts heavy showers that could delay Robusta harvests. ICE inventories remain tight: Arabica around 399k bags and Robusta about 4,900 lots. Tariff dynamics on Brazilian coffee have weighed US purchases, though exemptions and demand shifts have tempered the impact. Look ahead: StoneX sees a 2026/27 rebound with Brazil and Vietnam contributing sizable output.

S&P Downgrades USDT Stability to 'Weak' Amid Bitcoin Backing Concerns

November 26, 2025, 8:16 PM EST. Credit ratings firm S&P Global Ratings trimmed its view on USDT's ability to maintain a 1:1 peg, labeling the stablecoin's rating as weak. The downgrade cites reserve composition, including exposure to Bitcoin and other high-risk assets, which could leave USDT undercollateralized if asset values fall. S&P also flagged limited transparency around custodians, counterparties, and bank arrangements, and highlighted weaknesses in reserve management and the lack of a robust regulatory framework. Tether argues USDT has weathered shocks and points to potential independent audits; regulators have scrutinized the issuer. USDT is the dominant stablecoin and a liquidity backbone for crypto markets, but the report raises questions about reserve quality and redeemability.

Cocoa Prices Dip as EU Delays Deforestation Rules, Keeping Supplies Ample

November 26, 2025, 8:15 PM EST. March ICE NY cocoa futures closed down on Wednesday, with ICE London softer as the EU approved a one-year delay to the deforestation rule (EUDR), keeping cocoa supply ample. The deferment allows continued imports from Africa, Indonesia and South America where deforestation concerns persist. Traders pointed to a likely bumper West Africa crop and favorable weather in Ivory Coast and Ghana as price headwinds. Ivory Coast port shipments slid about 3.7% year over year, while US port inventories dropped to an 8.5-month low, supporting prices on a supply-tightness basis. Yet weak global demand remained a downside, with Q3 grindings in Asia and Europe falling and Halloween chocolate sales softer. The market remains sensitive to policy risk and crop reports.

S&P Downgrades USDT Stability to Weak Over Bitcoin Backing Concerns

November 26, 2025, 8:09 PM EST. S&P Global Ratings has downgraded USDT's ability to maintain a 1:1 peg with the dollar to a 'weak' rating, citing reserves backed by risky assets. The agency warned USDT could become undercollateralized if the value of assets like Bitcoin declines. S&P also criticized limited transparency around custodians, counterparties, and bank accounts, along with weaknesses in reserve management and lack of robust regulatory framework. Tether disputed the assessment, arguing that USDT has withstood shocks and has long operated to maintain liquidity and redemption capability. The rating highlights ongoing regulatory scrutiny and the tension between crypto liquidity needs and reserve disclosures. As USDT remains the dominant stablecoin by trading volume, a downgrade could affect trader behavior and the broader stability of crypto markets, especially if fears of consequent redemptions rise.

November 26, 2025, 7:59 PM EST. Markets rose as an implied volatility collapse-driven by Nvidia earnings and the jobs report-pushed the VIX lower, with the index mood easing toward the mid-teens. The rally lifted the S&P 500 toward the 6,700 area, a critical options positioning level that has capped gains. The index also neared the 50-day moving average near 6,713, which acted as resistance today. A potential gap-fill pattern suggests some risk of a pullback into Tuesday. In FX, the USDJPY eased from its highs to around 156.9, signaling more yen weakness; the Pound firmed ahead of the UK budget. Indicators like RSI and Bollinger Bands hint a softer near-term tone.

Robinhood Stock Surges on LedgerX Deal as It Targets Prediction Markets

November 26, 2025, 7:46 PM EST. Robinhood Markets (HOOD) jumped about 11% today after announcing a deal with Miami International Holdings to take control of LedgerX, the former FTX crypto entity. The three-party arrangement would give Robinhood and Susquehanna International Group a combined 90% stake, with Miami retaining 10%, and is expected to close in Q1 2026. The move signals Robinhood's push into prediction markets, where contracts forecast events from elections to Federal Reserve rate moves. These platforms have drawn big bets from traditional markets, including ICE's recent $2 billion investment in Polymarket. While the upside could be meaningful if LedgerX scales, the stock's rally in recent years leaves some investors wary of valuation and execution risk.

November 26, 2025, 7:40 PM EST. CVB Financial Corp (CVBF) traded with a 4%+ dividend yield, based on its quarterly payout of $0.20 annualized to $0.80. The intraday low touched around $19.97, highlighting the yield return for income-focused investors.

However, the article cautions that dividend amounts are not guaranteed and recommends reviewing the history chart to judge whether the 4% yield is sustainable in the near term.

November 26, 2025, 7:38 PM EST. Independence Realty Trust Inc (IRT) trades with a yield above 4% after an annualized dividend of $0.68 on a price around $17. The takeaway for income investors is that dividends have historically supported a meaningful portion of total returns, even when price appreciation stalls. The article cites a hypothetical IWV example showing dividends boosted overall return to about 13.2% over 12 years, despite a small price loss. If IRT's 4% yield can be sustained, it could remain attractive for income-focused portfolios. IRT is a member of the Russell 3000, underscoring its status among larger U.S. companies. As with most dividends, predictability varies with profitability, so looking at IRT's history helps gauge whether the most recent payout is likely to continue.

In contrast, the ISO projects a global surplus for 2025-26 and says world production could rise about 3.2% to 181.8 MMT, weighing on prices. Still, Brazil's Center-South output and India's production outlook remain key drivers, but the broader surplus backdrop keeps the bearish bias intact for sugar in the near term.

The report notes USDT now carries about 5.6% bitcoin in circulation-above the 3.9% overcollateralization margin-raising the risk that a BTC price drop could render reserves undercollateralized. Other high-risk holdings-gold, secured loans, corporate bonds-come with limited disclosures and introduce credit, market, interest-rate, and FX risks. S&P also highlights limited transparency on custodians, counterparties, and reserve management, and a lack of a robust regulatory framework. The GENIUS Act's implementation remains uncertain, affecting crypto firms and stablecoin issuers until Treasury regulations are in place.

November 26, 2025, 7:08 PM EST. The major U.S. indexes rose ahead of Thanksgiving as traders priced in a possible Fed rate cut next month.

Petco Health and Wellness (WOOF) surged about 18% after a surprise profit and raised guidance tied to its transformation plan. Workday (WDAY) fell about 9% amid concerns about subscription revenue. Deere & Company (DE) slipped around 5% after a weak forecast and challenging market conditions. HP (HPQ) declined about 2% on cost-cutting and tariff headwinds. Crude oil slid, gold climbed, yields little changed, and the dollar shifted against major currencies.

UK budget leak stuns markets as OBR report goes live 40 minutes early

November 26, 2025, 7:02 PM EST. Moments before Rachel Reeves's budget speech, Reuters reported that the OBR's Economic and Fiscal Outlook appeared on its website 40 minutes early, jolting markets. The alert outlined tax rises and a larger fiscal buffer, sending the 10-year gilt yield lower by about four basis points and lifting the pound ~0.3%. The leak prompted the OBR to apologise and launch an internal review as aides and MPs scrambled. Leaks around fiscal policy have occurred before, highlighting fragile information flow. As Reeves prepared to speak at 12:35pm, Downing Street and the Treasury faced scrutiny over the breach and its handling.

Sugar Prices Jump to 5-Week High After StoneX Cuts Brazil 2026/27 Output

November 26, 2025, 6:50 PM EST. March NY sugar #11 and March London white sugar #5 rose to 5-week highs after StoneX trimmed Brazil's 2026/27 Center-South sugar production to 41.5 MMT from 42.1 MMT. The move underscores a broader view of ample supply even as traders weigh a potential squeeze from India. The ISO still forecasts a sizable 2025-26 surplus, helped by higher output in India, Thailand, and Pakistan, and notes a global production rise to about 181.8 MMT. Supportive factors include India's potential boost to ethanol prices for gasoline, which could reduce sugar milling. India's export quota of 1.5 MMT for 2025/26 provides some price support, while data from Conab and Unica in Brazil point to a larger Center-South crop. The market remains sensitive to global surplus signals and harvest progress.

Bitcoin rises above $90,000 as stock rally fuels cautious crypto recovery

November 26, 2025, 6:48 PM EST. Bitcoin (BTC-USD) rose above $90,000 on Wednesday as a risk-on mood in US stocks helped lift crypto, though strategists warn the move may not signal a genuine V-shaped recovery. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite extended gains on bets a Fed rate cut in December could come, even as Bitcoin hit around $81,000 last Friday, its lowest since April. Torsten Slok of Apollo Management notes the historically high correlation between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq has weakened amid a sharp drop in Bitcoin. Bitcoin remains about 30% below its all-time high above $126,000 in October. Analysts say catalysts are needed for Q4 gains; if the Fed holds off, risk of a sharper sell-off rises. The timing of TGA spending and Fed communication could shape liquidity-driven moves, with resistance near $92k-$95k if a rally resumes, per Ed Engel of Compass Point.

Bitcoin tops $90,000 as stocks rally; Fed rate-cut bets loom for crypto

November 26, 2025, 6:46 PM EST. Bitcoin rose above $90,000 on Wednesday as risk-on mood supported equity gains, but strategists warn the move may not signal a lasting recovery. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq logged a fourth straight session of gains as traders bet on a December Federal Reserve rate cut. Bitcoin traded around $90k after a dip to about $81k last Friday, its lowest since April, leaving it roughly 30% below its peak near $126k in October. Analysts note the Bitcoin-Nasdaq relationship has weakened, with BTC's price path more sensitive to Fed communication than to rate moves. The fate of a December cut-and Powell's remarks-could still drive crypto volatility. Some see resistance around $92-$95k if the rally extends, while catalysts for sustained gains remain in question.

Encompass Health Expands Tennessee Footprint with Vanderbilt Health JV, 40-Bed Rehab Hospital

November 26, 2025, 6:44 PM EST. Encompass Health (EHC) disclosed a new joint venture with Vanderbilt Health to build a 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Lebanon, Tennessee, targeting operations by 2028. The facility, in Barton Village, will feature private rooms, a large therapy gym, an in-house dialysis unit, and multidisciplinary care to treat strokes, neurological injuries and complex orthopedic conditions. The deal underscores EHC's strategy to expand its Tennessee footprint alongside Vanderbilt, complementing the existing Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital in Nashville. Management notes that broader capacity supports rising demand for post-acute care, potentially boosting volumes and revenue as EHC already reported $4.4 billion in revenue in the first nine months of 2025 (up 10.6%). The stock has risen about 13% over the past year; Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Has Rachel Reeves broken her manifesto promises with the budget? Markets weigh implications

November 26, 2025, 6:41 PM EST. Labour's chancellor Rachel Reeves argues the budget preserves manifesto pledges while freezing tax thresholds and avoiding new tax rises. The Conservatives accuse her of breaching promises by raising or planning to raise taxes and by moving more of the tax burden onto the working public. Reeves had warned that sticking to the manifesto would require deeper spending cuts, yet she chose a three-year freeze on income tax thresholds rather than higher rates. The OBR estimates the move will raise about £8bn a year by 2029-30. By contrast, last year's budget funded £40bn of tax rises, including a 1.2p increase in employers' national insurance contributions. The debate hinges on whether the pledge to keep taxes on working people as low as possible was kept, and whether employer NI counts toward that promise.

Dollar Weakness Triggers Short Covering in Cocoa Futures as Ivory Coast Harvest Outlook Improves

November 26, 2025, 6:36 PM EST. Cocoa futures on ICE regained ground as a weaker dollar spurred short covering. March ICE NY cocoa (CCH26) rose about 0.37% and December ICE London cocoa #7 (CAZ25) gained about 0.33%. Prices had slid after the EU Parliament approved a one-year delay to the deforestation law (EUDR), keeping ample near-term supplies. ICE cocoa inventories in U.S. ports fell to an 8.25-month low, supporting prices amid tighter stocks, while West Africa harvest optimism grows. Ivory Coast port arrivals were down 3.7% year over year, illustrating a mixed supply picture. The demand backdrop remains a headwind with weak global demand, though reports of improving regional grindings and a robust pod count add nuance.

Voya Financial's Series B Preferred Yield Climbs Past 5.5%

November 26, 2025, 6:32 PM EST. Voya Financial's 5.35% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B (VOYA.PRB) yielded above 5.5% in Wednesday trading as the price touched $24.19 and annualized dividends stood at $1.3375. The issue traded with a 1.88% discount to its liquidation preference, versus the 10.32% average in the Financial sector. The security is non-cumulative, so missed payments aren't carried forward before resuming a common dividend. On the day, VOYA.PRB rose about 0.5%, while the common stock VOYA gained roughly 0.6%. Preferred Stock Channel pegged the Financial sector average yield near 6.73%. Investors should weigh the lack of accumulation risk against pricing near the liquidation threshold and the current yield versus peers.

Agree Realty's ADC.PRA Yields Above 6% as Discount to Liquidation Preference Widens

November 26, 2025, 6:30 PM EST. Agree Realty Corp.'s 4.250% Depositary Shares Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock (ADC.PRA) yielded above 6% on Wednesday, based on an annualized dividend of $1.0625. Shares traded as low as $17.67, supporting a yield above peers in Real Estate. At last close, ADC.PRA stood about a 29% discount to its liquidation preference, wider than the Real Estate category average of 13.11%. The day's action also had ADC.PRA up roughly 0.3% while the common shares (ADC) slipped about 0.7%. A dividend history chart accompanies the note, along with a prompt to explore the 50 highest yielding preferreds. Takeaway: investors may weigh the discount to liquidation preference against the relative yield when evaluating this issue.

Vertiv Rides AI Infrastructure Demand as Backlog Expands and Competition Intensifies

November 26, 2025, 6:26 PM EST. Vertiv (VRT) is riding a wave of accelerating AI infrastructure demand, with the Americas up 43% and APAC up 21% in Q3 2025. A robust order pipeline and a backlog of $9.5B, up 12% sequential and 30% YoY, point to durable growth and a book-to-bill of 1.4x. The company is expanding capacity to meet AI deployments, including a high-density reference design for NVIDIA's GB300 NVL72 delivering up to 142kW per rack via liquid/air cooling. Competitive pressures are rising from SMCI and HPE, which are scaling AI offerings and backlogs (SMCI with over $13B in AI back orders; HPE reporting Q3 AI revenues of $1.6B and AI backlog of $3.7B). VRT is up about 49% YTD, but trades at a premium (trailing P/B ~18.5x).

ScanSource (SCSC) Growth Stock: 3 Reasons It Stands Out

November 26, 2025, 6:24 PM EST. Zacks Growth Style Scores flag ScanSource (SCSC) as a top growth stock, combining a strong Growth Score with a Zacks Rank of 1 or 2. The article highlights three core reasons to consider SCSC now: 1) Earnings Growth – projected 15.5% this year vs. 13.9% industry average; 2) Asset Utilization – an S/TA of 1.73 compared with 0.93 industry avg, signaling efficient asset use and healthy sales growth (about 3.9%); and 3) Earnings Estimate Revisions – positive trends historically linked to near-term price moves. While growth stocks carry volatility and higher risk, the blend of rapid earnings growth, asset efficiency, and improving estimates makes ScanSource a compelling growth candidate in the tech distribution space.

Is PJT Partners (PJT) a Solid Growth Stock? 3 Reasons to Think Yes

November 26, 2025, 6:22 PM EST. PJT Partners (PJT) enters the growth-stock spotlight thanks to the Zacks Growth Style Score, a framework that looks beyond traditional metrics to gauge genuine growth prospects. The article highlights three pillars backing PJT as a potential winner: 1) Earnings Growth – projected EPS to rise about 33% this year, well above the industry average; 2) Cash Flow Growth – year-over-year cash flow up around 38.1%, with a longer-term track record of solid growth; 3) Earnings Estimate Revisions – upward revisions in the current year's consensus bolster near-term price leverage. Coupled with a top Zacks Rank 1 or 2, these elements align with robust growth traits. Investors should weigh the mix of high growth potential and the risks inherent in growth stocks.

Allient (ALNT) Growth Stock: 3 Reasons It Could Rally

November 26, 2025, 6:21 PM EST. Allient (ALNT) is highlighted as a top growth pick by the Zacks Growth Style Score, combining a favorable Growth Score with a #1 or #2 Zacks Rank. Here are three reasons to think the stock could continue to advance: 1) Earnings Growth – projected EPS up ~38.9% this year, well above the industry average; 2) Asset Utilization – an S/TA ratio of 0.91 indicates efficient asset use vs. 0.72 industry avg and solid sales growth outlook (+2.8% this year); 3) Earnings Estimate Revisions – current-year estimates have been revised upward, a strong near-term price signal. While volatility is a consideration for growth stocks, ALNT's growth trajectory and favorable metrics present a compelling case.

Wednesday 11/26 Insider Buying Report: ONEW & HSY Highlight Executive Purchases

November 26, 2025, 6:18 PM EST. Insider buying remains a potential signal for future stock performance. This report highlights two notable purchases. OnWater Marine's Executive Chairman Philip Austin Singleton Jr. bought 43,179 shares of ONEW for $11.47 apiece, a $495,263 stake. The stock traded near $12.71, leaving Singleton in roughly the 10% green on the position, and ONEW is up about 6.5% on the session. Singleton has completed five prior buys in the last year, totaling $515,866 at an average $17.29. At Hershey (HSY), CEO Kirk Tanner acquired 2,000 shares at $185.46 for $370,915; the stock is up about 0.5% that day, with Tanner ~1.9% in the green on the trade.

SEC must not let crypto firms bypass rules, exchanges warn

November 26, 2025, 6:16 PM EST. Stock exchanges led by the World Federation of Exchanges warned the SEC against granting an 'innovation exemption' that would let crypto firms sell tokenised stocks without traditional broker-dealer registration. In a letter dated Nov. 21, the WFE argued such relief could threaten market integrity and investor protections, arguing the industry should be held to the same regulatory principles. The SEC has signaled it is exploring an innovation exemption to experiment with new business models, while crypto platforms seek a path to sell crypto tokens pegged to listed equities to retail investors. The letter from Nasdaq and Deutsche Boerse peers stops short of naming firms but underscores the broader finance industry's push to balance innovation with compliance. The SEC has not commented. Tokenisation is seen by issuers as potentially improving efficiency, but stakeholders fear uneven rules.

Canaccord Genuity Cuts Waldencast Price Target; WALD Stock Faces Mixed Analyst Views

November 26, 2025, 6:14 PM EST. Waldencast (NASDAQ: WALD) saw its price objective cut by Canaccord Genuity Group from $5.00 to $4.00, while keeping a Buy rating. The target implies a potential upside of 61.62% from the prior close. Other analysts offered mixed views: Weiss Ratings Sell (e+); Jefferies Buy with a $3.50 target; Telsey Market Perform with a $3.00 target. MarketBeat shows a Hold consensus (4 Buy, 2 Hold, 1 Sell). The stock fell about 14% to $2.48 with light volume (103,674 vs 141,605). The 50-day and 200-day moving averages sit near $1.98 and $2.10; 52-week range $1.48-$4.18. Institutional holders include UBS, JPMorgan, Milestones, Covestor, and others, comprising roughly 42% of shares.

NetApp (NTAP) Stock Dips on Weaker Next-Quarter Guidance Despite Q3 Beat

November 26, 2025, 6:08 PM EST. NetApp (NTAP) shares fell 1.3% after a softer next-quarter revenue forecast overshadowed a solid Q3 beat. The company posted revenue of $1.71 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.05, ahead of estimates, but guided for about $1.69 billion next quarter, roughly 1.1% below consensus. The softer outlook suggests a tougher near term, offsetting an uptick to full-year profit. The move indicates traders focused on guidance rather than the quarterly beat. Some investors may view the pullback as a potential entry point for a high-quality storage name, even as NetApp's volatility has been relatively tame with few 5% moves in the past year. Investors will watch demand trends and margins as the company navigates a cautious macro backdrop.

Stocks Rally as Fed Cut Bets and 2026 S&P 8,000 Target Stir Markets

November 26, 2025, 6:04 PM EST. Stocks rose into the Thanksgiving break as traders priced in easier policy and a potential path to a higher S&P by 2026. The S&P 500 gained about 0.5%, clearing its 50-day moving average, with the Nasdaq-100 lifting as Nvidia firmed after AI-related jitters. The VIX slid for a fourth day, even as the 10-year yield nudged higher near 4.02%. Stronger-than-expected jobless claims data kept the Fed in view for a possible 25-basis-point cut in December, a path supported by bets on further cuts through 2026, with traders pricing roughly an 80% chance of December action. Beyond the U.S., UK policy chatter boosted expectations for fiscal buffers. Long-range targets from Deutsche Bank (8,000 for the S&P), JPMorgan (7,500), and SocGen (7,300) suggest a cautious, AI-influenced setup as investors weigh rate policy and risk.

Notable Wednesday Option Activity: APP, PNR, KMB

November 26, 2025, 6:02 PM EST. Notable Wednesday option activity across three S&P components: APP, PNR, and KMB. In APP, ~38,431 contracts traded (≈3.8 million underlying), about 80.9% of its 1-month ADV. The focus: the $600 strike call expiring Nov 28, 2025 with ~3,428 contracts (~343k shares). In PNR, 8,055 contracts so far (~805.5k shares), about 64.3% of its 1-month ADV. The highlight: the $85 strike put expiring May 15, 2026 with ~2,600 contracts (~260k shares). In KMB, 49,849 contracts (~5.0 million shares; ~58.3% of ADV). The notable move centers on the $115 strike call expiring Mar 20, 2026 with ~9,338 contracts (~934k shares).

Crude Prices Gain on Doubts About a Russian-Ukrainian Peace Deal; EIA Data Weighs In

November 26, 2025, 6:00 PM EST. Crude prices move higher as dollar weakness lends support, with January WTI up 0.14% and January RBOB up 0.61%. Doubts about a Russian-Ukrainian peace deal helped trigger some short covering. EU officials said there's no clear sign Russia wants peace, limiting upside. However, gains are tempered by the latest EIA weekly report showing a larger-than-expected rise in crude and product inventories. The backdrop remains geopolitics and supply constraints: sanctions and lower Russian exports, refinery disruptions, and OPEC+ output management amid a looming global surplus. The EIA outlook nudges US production higher, capping the rally despite supportive demand signals.

Genie Energy (GNE) Downtrend Tied to Weak ROE vs Industry; What Investors Should Know

November 26, 2025, 5:58 PM EST. Genie Energy (NYSE:GNE) has slipped about 7.7% this month as investors weigh its weak fundamentals. The centerpiece is ROE: 3.7% on trailing twelve months to September 2025, far below the industry average of about 9.1%. Net income has fallen 4.3% over five years, suggesting limited earnings growth and potential capital allocation issues. With a payout ratio around 52% (roughly 48% retained), much profits are returned to shareholders, which may limit reinvestment and growth. Relative to peers, Genie's earnings growth trails an industry that grew about 6.4% in the same period. The key question for investors is whether any anticipated earnings growth is already reflected in the price, or if the stock remains vulnerable until fundamentals improve.

Trane Technologies Stock Forecast: Analysts See Modest Upside to 2027 (TT)

November 26, 2025, 5:56 PM EST. Trane Technologies (TT) trades near $419 and has drawn steady earnings as demand for HVAC upgrades and energy-efficient systems supports margins. Wall Street's consensus targets a modest 2027 upside, with an average target around $482-about 15% above current levels. High/low targets sit at $550 and $415, with a median of $470 and ratings of 5 Buys, 2 Outperforms, 15 Holds, and 1 Sell. Growth prospects show about 7.5% revenue growth through 2027 and operating margins near 19.3%, aided by resilient pricing and building-efficiency demand. A forward P/E of ~27x points to a valuation around $488 by 2027, or roughly 16.5% upside (≈7.6% annualized). Overall, TT appears as a dependable industrial compounder with solid fundamentals and low leverage.

Carrier Global Stock Prediction: Analysts Forecast ~24% Upside by 2027

November 26, 2025, 5:54 PM EST. Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR) trades near $54 as softer HVAC demand and higher interest rates weigh on results. Despite near-term headwinds, analysts see meaningful upside by 2027: the average target is around $73 (implied ~35% upside from current levels; high $90, low $60; ratings: 11 Buys, 2 Outperforms, 11 Holds). The growth outlook remains moderate, with revenue growth ~2.2% and operating margin ~16.2%, supported by heat pump expansion and building automation; a 19x forward P/E is used for valuation. TIKR's model points to about $67 by 2027, implying ~24% upside and roughly 11% annualized returns. The case rests on stable demand, cost discipline, and durable replacement cycles.

Coffee prices retreat as EU deforestation delay signals ample global supplies

November 26, 2025, 5:53 PM EST. Arabica futures (KCH26) and Robusta (RMF26) edged lower as traders digest a one-year delay to the EU's deforestation regulation, signaling ample global supplies. Coffee prices slipped about 1.4% for arabica and 1.0% for robusta, even as weather-driven supply risks persist. The EU delay supports continued imports from Africa, Indonesia and South America. On the demand/supply side, ICE inventories have shrunk, with arabica at a 1.75-year low and robusta near a 6.25-month low. In Brazil, dryness provides some price support, while Vietnam's output and exports rise, adding to regional supplies. A mix of factors, including past tariffs on Brazilian coffee and forecasts of higher output in 2026/27, keeps prices under pressure but capped by weather-led losses.

UK Labour budget leak signals tax hikes aimed at growth and debt stability

November 26, 2025, 5:50 PM EST. Britain's Labour government unveiled a tax-raising budget intended to boost growth and stabilize debt, but the plan was marred by a late leak before Treasury chief Rachel Reeves delivered the statement. The package includes about £26 billion in tax hikes, largely to bolster the fiscal buffer while backing a pledge not to raise income tax for working people. Measures freeze income tax thresholds for three more years, introduce a mansion tax on property over £2 million, tighten the capital gains tax regime, raise gambling taxes, and add a levy on electric-car use. The government also eliminates the cap on benefits for larger families, freezes rail fares, and eases energy bills, but critics say the economy remains uneven.

Stocks Climb on Hopes of Lower Interest Rates as Fed Cut Bets Grow

November 26, 2025, 5:48 PM EST. Stocks rose as rate-cut bets boosted optimism into the Thanksgiving week, with the S&P 500 up about 0.5%, the Dow higher and the Nasdaq 100 advancing. Semiconductors supported the rally even as the Nov MNI Chicago PMI plunged to a 17-month low. Traders price in an ~80%-81% chance of a 25 bp Fed cut at the Dec 9-10 meeting, helping lift futures and push bond yields lower. Positive US data-weekly jobless claims dropping to 216,000 and stronger capital goods orders-plus changes in mortgage activity, fed optimism on the economy. Q3 earnings remain solid, with about 83% of S&P 500 components beating forecasts, underscoring a resilient earnings backdrop even as overseas markets stay mixed.

Shopify Delivers Strong Q3 Beat Among E-commerce Software Stocks

November 26, 2025, 5:38 PM EST. Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) posted Q3 revenue of $2.84B, up 31.5% YoY, and beat consensus by 3.1% with a solid EBITDA beat, signaling momentum for its multi-channel platform. As a group, e-commerce software stocks beat estimates by 1.4% but guide for next quarter was in line, and shares have fallen roughly 7% since results. Shopify's performance was the strongest among peers; GoDaddy (GDDY) delivered $1.27B in revenue, +10.3% YoY, beating EBITDA but guiding next quarter slightly below expectations, and Wix (WIX) continues to leverage AI-driven tools to fuel growth across its 263M registered users. The stock prices reflect mixed sentiment as the broader online-retail opportunity remains large, with ~80% of retail still offline.

Ex-Dividend Reminder: Crane Co, Huntington Ingalls Industries & Interface

November 26, 2025, 5:36 PM EST. Dividend Channel notes that on 11/28/25, Crane Co (CR), Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII), and Interface Inc. (TILE) go ex-dividend for upcoming payouts.

Dividends are subject to company performance; review history for stability before expecting continuation.

Zscaler Stock Dips After Q3 Beat, Billings Miss Sparks Growth Concerns

November 26, 2025, 5:34 PM EST. Zscaler (ZS) slid about 11% after reporting a beat-and-raise quarter but missing on billings, a key indicator of future growth. Revenue reached $788.1 million, up 25.5% year over year, with an adjusted EPS of $0.96, ahead of estimates, and the company raised its full-year outlook. However, the billings miss of $597 million soured investor sentiment, fueling worries about a slower growth trajectory for a richly valued name. The move comes amid broader market volatility and a shift toward defensive favorites as rate-cut expectations flicker. Zscaler has shown volatility with double-digit moves, though the context matters: the stock is still up for the year but well below its 52-week high. Investors weigh whether this pullback presents a buying opportunity.

Enhanced Games to Debut on Nasdaq, Launch Direct-to-Consumer Performance Products

November 26, 2025, 5:32 PM EST. Enhanced Games is pursuing a dual path to capital and markets: a Nasdaq listing expected to raise about $200 million and a new direct-to-consumer line focused on performance products, as it aims to democratize access to performance enhancement tools under medical supervision. The timing capitalizes on a Las Vegas event six months away featuring Olympic athletes and a $250,000 prize, though athletes will not face Olympic-style drug testing and will undergo medical profiling to safeguard health. A $40 million equity deal closed prior to the public filing, convertible into shares when trading begins, underpins the move. Leadership changes accompany the push, with Maximilian Martin as CEO and Aron D'Souza stepping back; Sid Banthiya and Rick Adams also join the executive team.

Based on OLN's recent price of $20.30, the ex-date move is about 0.99% lower; SCL about 0.87% and CNR about 0.13%.

Dot-Com vs AI Bubble: Is This Time Really Different?

November 26, 2025, 5:04 PM EST. Historically, investors warned that 'this time is different' is dangerous. The AI boom of 2025 may resemble a new cycle rather than a replay of the 2000 Dot-Com crash. The piece contrasts Cisco in the dot-com era – a Valuation Bubble with lofty multiples and fragile demand – with Nvidia today, which combines high growth, robust cash flow, and a more reasonable multiple. It notes that Nvidia's forward P/E sits around 38x versus Cisco's 200x at the peak, and highlights why cash flow matters: Nvidia earns $25B per quarter vs Cisco's $1.3B. The debate centers on Capacity vs Utility: tech giants are pouring hundreds of billions into AI data centers, while the payers and end-user revenue lag. The risk is a potential temporary demand spike rather than lasting value, demanding caution on valuations and financing.

Some traders may view the 29.4 reading as a sign selling could be exhausting and look for potential buy entry opportunities.

Dollar Pressured by Fed Cut Bets as Markets Price December Move; Euro, Yen Eye Central Banks

November 26, 2025, 5:00 PM EST. The dollar wobbles as December rate-cut bets gain traction, with the DXY little changed after an early rally. A softer backdrop from the Nov MNI Chicago PMI and a firmer Nikkei helped stocks and reduced demand for the greenback. Earlier data showed weekly jobless claims at a seven-month low and capital goods orders rising, supporting yields and the dollar's rate differentials. A Bloomberg report naming Kevin Hassett as a dovish potential Fed chair adds a bearish tilt for the dollar if policy independence comes under pressure. Markets price roughly an 81% odds of a 25 bp Fed cut at the Dec FOMC. In FX, EUR/USD nudges higher on ECB chatter, while USD/JPY rises as yields stay firm and traders eye the BOJ path. The BOJ odds sit near 44%.

YieldBoost WSC to 17.1% with July 2026 Covered Call at $22.50

November 26, 2025, 4:52 PM EST. Shareholders of WillScot Holdings Corp (WSC) can boost income by selling the July 2026 covered call at the $22.50 strike, collecting the $2.00 bid premium, which annualizes to about 15.7% and, with the stock's 1.4% dividend yield, yields a combined 17.1% annual return if the stock stays below $22.50. If called away, upside beyond $22.50 is foregone, but the shares would have to rise roughly 12.5% from current levels to be called, delivering a 22.5% return on the trade plus dividends. The approach, dubbed YieldBoost, relies on volatility estimates (roughly 51% trailing 12-month) and the stock's price of around $20.07.

YieldBoost Stepan To 15.2% Using Options

November 26, 2025, 4:46 PM EST. Investors in Stepan Co. (SCL) can boost income by selling the June 2026 covered call at the $50 strike, collecting a $3.00 bid premium. The premium annualizes to about 11.7%, producing a combined YieldBoost of roughly 15.2% if the stock isn't called. If SCL rises above $50 and is called away, upside is capped, but upside would only need about a 9.2% rise to trigger the call, yielding about 15.7% in that scenario plus any dividends paid beforehand. Step by step, the strategy fades the benefits of additional price appreciation beyond $50 but relies on a current dividend around 3.4%. The analysis uses trailing volatility near 34% and notes dividend unpredictability. Readers should weigh upside cap against steady income and consider chart history and fundamental factors.

YieldBoost: REV Group's 9.4% Yield Using July 2026 Covered Call

November 26, 2025, 4:44 PM EST. REV Group Inc (REVG) investors can boost income with a July 2026 covered call at the $65 strike. The bid premium of $3.00 annualizes to about 8.9% additional yield, for a total potential 9.4% annualized return if the stock isn't called away. Upside beyond $65 would be capped; the stock would need to rise about 23.3% to trigger assignment, in which case shareholders could capture roughly 29% total return plus any dividends received beforehand. The base dividend yields about 0.5%, with volatility around 44% (trailing twelve months), helping frame risk/reward. The piece notes the caveat that dividends are not guaranteed and depends on profitability, and references stock options data for other expirations. This yields-boost approach hinges on option premiums vs. potential capital gains.

The deal is expected to deliver cost and commercial synergies and expand BG's global origination, processing, and distribution footprint, potentially lifting topline growth and margins.

Bitcoin Drawdown Breaks Old Rule as Volatility Remains Tame: Institutions Redefine Crypto Risk

November 26, 2025, 3:10 PM EST. Bitcoin's latest decline underscores a broader shift in crypto markets, where institutional money is reshaping risk transmission.
