In a market full of warnings and downgrades, FedEx just did something almost nobody expected — it raised guidance. The global shipping giant reported fiscal Q3 earnings Thursday that topped Wall Street estimates across the board. Consolidated revenue rose 8% year-over-year. Adjusted EPS grew 16% and beat consensus by $1.13. And management bumped full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $19.30–$20.10, with revenue growth now expected at 6%–6.5%. The stock surged as much as 9.5% in after-hours trading. What makes this remarkable is the ...

Planet Labs just reminded Wall Street why satellite imagery is no longer a niche business — it's an AI infrastructure play. The San Francisco-based satellite company reported Q4 fiscal 2026 revenue of $86.8 million, a 41% jump year-over-year that blew past analyst estimates. Full-year revenue hit a record $308 million, up 26% from the prior year. Backlog surged 79% to $900 million. And the stock? It's up 535% over the past 12 months, with shares popping another 14.6% in after-hours trading ...

Jeff Bezos just made his most audacious play yet — and it has nothing to do with same-day delivery. Blue Origin, Bezos's rocket company, filed a proposal with the FCC on Thursday for something called "Project Sunrise" — a constellation of up to 51,600 satellites designed to operate as data centers in orbit. That's right. Not internet satellites. Not communication relays. Full-blown computing infrastructure floating between 500 and 1,800 kilometers above your head. The filing argues that "insatiable demand for AI workloads" ...

Here's the thing nobody's talking about: while everyone's obsessing over AI, there's a quieter, weirder trend that's about to reshape how money moves. It's called prediction markets, and it's basically Vegas for the internet age—except smarter, faster, and way more accessible. Think about it. You can now bet real money on whether the Fed cuts rates in June, if Apple beats earnings, or whether we slip into a recession. Not through some shady offshore site, but on legitimate platforms like Kalshi ...

One of the biggest consumer goods shakeups in years just landed. Unilever confirmed Friday that it's in active talks to sell its entire food business to McCormick & Company — the spice and seasoning giant headquartered in Maryland. We're talking about some of the most recognizable kitchen brands on the planet: Hellmann's mayonnaise, Knorr soups and bouillon, and Marmite (the love-it-or-hate-it British spread that somehow still exists in 2026). Unilever called the food unit "highly attractive," which in corporate-speak means "we ...

The Federal Reserve just entered territory it hasn't seen since the 1950s — and most traders aren't paying attention. Here's the setup: Jerome Powell's term as Fed Chair expires in May. President Trump has nominated Kevin Warsh to replace him. Simple transition, right? Not even close. Powell told reporters Wednesday that he won't leave his seat on the Board of Governors until a criminal investigation led by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro is "well and truly over with transparency and finality." And ...

If you thought Super Micro Computer had already used up its nine lives, think again. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan just unsealed an indictment charging SMCI co-founder Wally Liaw — a board member who controls $464 million worth of company stock — with running a "brazen" scheme to divert $2.5 billion worth of Nvidia-powered AI servers to China. Two other associates, Steven Chang and Willy Sun, were also charged. Liaw was arrested Thursday in California. Chang is on the run. The alleged scheme ...

So Warren Buffett—the guy who's spent decades saying tech stocks confuse him—just dropped $4.3 billion on Alphabet. Yeah, *that* Buffett. The one who famously avoided tech like it was a penny stock pump-and-dump scheme. Here's what happened: In Q3 2025, Berkshire Hathaway quietly loaded up on 17.8 million shares of Alphabet (Google's parent company), making it about 1.6% of their massive $267 billion portfolio. And the market noticed. Alphabet stock jumped 5% the day after the filing went public. **Why Now? Why ...
