Bernstein argues that a durable rebound in home improvement spending hinges on improved housing affordability, most importantly through lower mortgage rates and steadier home prices.

Volcker Public Integrity Award in a taped video, drawing parallels as he himself faces sustained political criticism, an active Department of Justice probe, and efforts by the administration to influence Fed policy and lea…
A recent Bernstein study frames AI leadership as a function of raw compute capacity, which depends on energy supply, data center buildout and semiconductor efficiency. Today the U.S. holds about 35 zettaFLOPS of AI compute versus China’s roughly 5 zettaFLOPS. China’s strength in electricity generation and rapid capacity additions could enable it to…
Bahrain’s government says a U.S.-made Patriot air defence system intercepted an Iranian drone over the Sitra residential area on March 9, preventing what officials say would have been a deadly strike.

American Airlines (AAL) is trading near $10.63 after a sector-wide selloff driven by a spike in jet-fuel expectations. Valuation metrics (market cap ~$6.9B, EV/Sales 0.66, P/E ~62) and an oversold technical profile (RSI ~31) create a defined, asymmetric mid-term trade: buy near $10.40 with a stop at $9.40 and a target at $13.50 over the next 45 tra…
NetApp combines durable profitability, a tidy free cash flow profile, and direct exposure to hybrid-cloud storage needs that scale with AI inference.

Canton Network's architecture and growing institutional interest make it one of the more compelling infra plays in crypto-finance.

AGNC's monthly $0.12 dividend, double-digit yield and cheap valuation metrics make a case for a tactical long. Technical oversold signals, elevated short activity and a near-term ex-dividend date create a defined trade with asymmetric upside if mortgage spreads remain stable and funding costs stay contained.
Amkor (AMKR) is executing on an advanced packaging ramp that showed up in Q4 beats and gives management confidence for double-digit revenue growth in FY26-FY27.

Regal Rexnord (RRX) is a cash-generative industrial play on automation, motors and power transmission. The company is not a bargain — P/E ~42 and EV/EBITDA ~13.5 imply expectations for steady growth — but strong free cash flow ($893M last reported), a $11.66B market cap and a conservative balance sheet make a disciplined long trade reasonable. The …
