News and Insights

Newmont Mining stock rose 4.5% on Friday as gold prices rallied nearly 10% to cross $4,500 per ounce following President Trump's 10-day pause on U.S. attacks on Iran's energy facilities. Investors are buying the dip in the world's largest gold miner, with analysts projecting gold could reach $6,100-$6,300 by end of 2026. Newmont's strong financial position, including record $7.3 billion free cash flow in 2025 and active share buybacks, supports investor confidence.

With the S&P 500 at historically high valuations, the financial sector stands out as a bargain with a P/E ratio of 14 (29th percentile over 10 years). The recent Iran war and potential shift toward rate hikes could benefit banks and insurers. Over 40% of S&P 500 financial stocks have forward P/E ratios below 10, with Wells Fargo and MetLife trading at significant discounts to their five-year averages.

The Financials sector (XLF) has declined 10% YTD but shows signs of stabilization with recent price action improvements. Major banks have held relatively flat month-to-date, regional banks (KRE) are rebounding 6% off March lows, and private credit stocks like KKR and APO are performing well. However, long-term technical indicators remain bearish with a death cross and significant overhead supply, though Q1 earnings starting in mid-April could serve as a catalyst for further movement.

Alliant Energy's stock has surged 12.4% year-to-date, hitting an all-time high, driven by three key factors: robust demand from AI data centers in the Midwest with 3 GW of contracted load and 2-4 GW in negotiations, favorable regulatory conditions in Iowa and Wisconsin providing earnings visibility, and a 17% increase in capital expenditure to $13.4 billion to expand capacity through natural gas, energy storage, and renewable energy investments.

Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs have both fallen approximately 20% from recent highs amid geopolitical tensions and sector weakness, despite strong 2025 performance. Both stocks are trading at technically oversold levels with analysts viewing the declines as potential buying opportunities. Wells Fargo faces operational challenges and missed earnings expectations, while Goldman Sachs saw revenue misses but maintains analyst support with significant upside targets. Next month's earnings reports could serve as catalysts for potential relief rallies.

Samsara's stock surged 18% following strong Q4 FY2026 earnings, demonstrating investor preference for profitable, operationally excellent tech companies over speculative growth stories. The company reported $444.3M quarterly revenue (28% YoY growth), $1.89B ARR (30% YoY growth), and achieved its second consecutive GAAP profitable quarter. Strong enterprise customer momentum, with 61% of ARR from $100K+ customers and 13 new $1M+ deals, combined with a proprietary data moat of 25 trillion annual data points, positions Samsara as a durable growth investment with FY2027 guidance for 21-22% revenue growth and full-year GAAP profitability.

Verizon stock surged 20.4% in February following strong fourth-quarter results and exceptional subscriber growth of 616,000 net postpaid additions. Multiple major analysts including JPMorgan Chase, RBC Capital, UBS, and Morgan Stanley raised their price targets on the stock in early February. Despite broader market volatility in March driven by geopolitical tensions and weak jobs data, Verizon continues to climb, up 1.9% in early March. The stock trades at a reasonable 10.4x forward earnings with a 5.4% dividend yield.
