Grail’s Cancer Blood Test Just Failed Its Biggest Trial — Stock Cut in Half

Grail just learned what happens when the most anticipated clinical trial in cancer diagnostics misses its mark. The stock lost nearly half its value on Friday.

While everyone argues about AI valuations and tariff chaos, one company is quietly stacking $268 billion in orders and barely making headlines. RTX Corporation — the company formerly known as Raytheon Technologies — just reported 2025 results that should make growth investors sit up and pay attention. Full-year turnover came in at $88.6 billion, with adjusted earnings per share of $6.29. Both figures beat the January guidance of $83-84 billion in sales and $6.00-6.15 in EPS. The stock barely budged. But ...

Nvidia reports fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings on Wednesday, February 25th, after the bell. The stock is the single most-watched event on every trader's calendar this week. But if you're thinking about buying the earnings straddle, the data says you should think again. The at-the-money options straddle expiring February 27 — the market's best real-time gauge of how much it expects Nvidia to move — is priced at roughly 7%. That sounds reasonable for the world's largest company by market cap ($4.44 ...

The AI Chip Play Nobody Is Talking About Just Surged 9%

Everyone knows Nvidia. Everyone owns Nvidia. But while the world stares at GPU revenue like it's the only scoreboard that matters, a quieter corner of the semiconductor industry just fired a flare that serious investors should not ignore. Analog Devices (ADI) crushed its fiscal first-quarter earnings last week, posting $3.16 billion in revenue — a 30% jump from a year ago — while earnings of $2.46 per share demolished the $2.33 Wall Street expected.

For those just tuning in: meme stocks are basically the rebellious teenagers of Wall Street.

AI Is About to Make Your Job Obsolete (And Here’s How to Profit From It)

Remember when your biggest career worry was whether robots would steal factory jobs? Well, plot twist: they're coming for the corner office too. We're witnessing what economists are calling the "Great Decoupling" – basically, the moment when corporate profits and human paychecks decided to see other people. Corporate profits are hitting record highs at 11.55% of GDP while workers' share has plummeted to 53.8%, the lowest since the 1940s.

The NYSE Is Building a Stock Market That Never Closes

The New York Stock Exchange — the 233-year-old institution that rings a bell every day at 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM — is about to make those bells irrelevant.

If regulators approve, it could launch by late 2026. And it's not a pilot program or a sandbox experiment. It's ...
