Market Talk: The bull market will not be ‘derailed’ by war

Eric Diton, president and managing director of The Wealth Alliance, said that despite 'nervousness' among investors that led to a nearly 5% drop for the S&P 500 in the first quarter of 2026, 'a lot of pent-up demand' for stocks will continue to push Wall Street's main indexes higher this year.

Anthropic employees have sold some equity to investors, wrapping up a secondary share sale that started earlier this year, according to people familiar with the matter. But some investors weren’t able to pick up as many shares as they planned because of the limited number that employees were willing to sell.

yahoo news | Rush Street Interactive (RSI): Buy, Sell, or Hold Post Q4 Earnings?

Rush Street Interactive (RSI) has outperformed the broader market even during recent downturns, with its share price climbing to $22.76 and delivering a 24.8 % return over the past six months—beating the S&P 500 by 26.9 %. This strong performance follows solid quarterly results and has prompted investors to consider whether now is the right time to add RSI to their portfolios.

Despite the recent price gains, three key concerns temper enthusiasm for the stock. First, the company’s long‑term revenue growth, while respectable at a 32.4 % compound annual growth rate over the last five years, falls short of the higher standards expected in the consumer‑discretionary sector. Second, operating margins have risen to an average of 5.4 % over the past two years, yet this level remains modest for a business in this space and suggests a suboptimal cost structure. Third, free‑cash‑flow margins, currently at 14.5 % for the trailing twelve months, are projected to slip slightly, indicating potential pressure on cash generation going forward.

Given these factors, the analysts conclude that RSI’s current valuation—trading at roughly 39.7 × forward P/E—offers limited upside. While the stock has benefited from market enthusiasm, the modest profitability metrics and projected cash‑flow slowdown lead the team to recommend steering clear of RSI in favor of other, higher‑quality opportunities, particularly in the software sector.

undefined | FedEx trucking spinoff targets 2026 operating margin of 12%

FedEx Freight, the less‑than‑truckload (LTL) trucking division that is being spun off from FedEx Corp., told investors it expects to post a 12 % operating margin this year. The forecast is based on projected revenue of $8.7 billion and adjusted operating income of $1.1 billion, figures disclosed by incoming CEO John Smith during the company’s first investor‑day presentation ahead of the planned June 1 listing as an independent, publicly traded company.

The company also said it anticipates average core‑profit growth of 10 %‑12 % over the medium term, with revenue rising 4 %‑6 % in the same period. Those targets come amid higher U.S. diesel prices that have delayed a broader trucking‑industry turnaround and are squeezing cash flow and profit margins for many independent big‑rig operators. FedEx Freight remains the largest U.S. LTL provider, competing with rivals such as XPO, Saia and Old Dominion Freight Line.

Analysts note that FedEx Freight’s assets have been under‑appreciated within the larger FedEx organization and that the separation should give the business greater flexibility to expand its LTL network. By becoming a standalone public entity, the company hopes to unlock value and accelerate growth in a market that relies on moving multiple shipments on a single truck.
