FEATURED: This little-known trick saves thousands when appliances break down—repair companies HATE this! (Adopt A Contractor)

• Tehran Mass Exodus: Thousands fleeing Iranian capital as Trump's strike options reportedly include joining Israel's military operations - civilian evacuation accelerating
• Modi-Trump Clarification: India's leader tells Trump there was no U.S. mediation in Pakistan ceasefire - diplomatic lines being clarified
• Iran UN Warning: Ambassador says country will respond firmly if U.S. becomes directly involved in Israeli strikes - escalation threats mounting
• Zelenskiy G7 Disappointment: Ukrainian president leaves summit without Trump meeting or fresh U.S. arms support - alliance tensions visible
• Strait of Hormuz Incident: UAE says navigational error caused oil tanker collision near critical waterway - shipping risks rising
• Israeli Evacuation Airlift: Country launches operation bringing home stranded citizens after Iran strikes - repatriation efforts expanding
• Japan G7 Uncertainty: PM Ishiba departs with trade deal but political future in doubt - regional leadership instability

ADM gets targeted as cost cuts and margin recovery set the stage for a 2026 earnings rebound. The company plans up to $750M in savings over 3–5 years, offsetting weak crush margins and lower insurance recoveries. Its new Decatur-East plant adds leverage, while a 4.16% dividend yield and 50-year growth streak boost appeal. FY26 EPS is projected at $4.70, above consensus. (Price at call: $54.16, Current price: $54.11, Analyst expectation: $66)

BGSF Inc (BGSF) BGSF gets a “Strong Buy” rating with a $9 target after selling its professional division to INSPYR for $99M—more than double its prior $45M market cap. Shares jumped 35% to $5.37 on the news. The deal wipes out $47M in debt, boosts liquidity, and leaves behind a higher-margin property management unit. With at least $99M in equity post-deal and shares trading below adjusted book value, analysts see major upside from current levels. (Current price: $4.92, Analyst expectation: $8)

Fed Decision Day Positioning: Powell's 2 PM press conference represents the day's main event, with dot plot updates crucial for rate cut expectations. March SEP showed two quarter-point cuts anticipated; markets may scale back to just one reduction. Position defensively ahead of a potential hawkish surprise given recent economic resilience.

Geopolitical Oil Volatility: Tuesday's crude spike reversing as markets digest Trump's Iran comments and Tehran evacuation reports. Oil cooling 0.9% suggests conflict premium may be overdone, creating energy sector rotation opportunities while maintaining safe-haven hedges for escalation scenarios.

Solar Sector Recovery Play: Tuesday's historic sector selloff on tax credit elimination creates a potential bargain hunting opportunity in oversold names. Sunrun's record 40% decline may have overshot the fundamental impact, especially if Senate provisions face House resistance or modification during the legislative process.

Biotech Acquisition Themes: Focus on well-positioned smaller biotechs with compelling platforms after strong sector M&A activity. Target companies with reasonable valuations and avoid heavily diluted names like Biomea Fusion, pricing offerings below $2 per share.

Asset Sale Value Unlock: BGSF's successful asset monetization at 0.6x revenue (4x market multiple) suggests other undervalued companies with disposable divisions could unlock similar value—screen for firms trading below book value with non-core assets ripe for divestiture.

Spencer Rascoff co-founded Zillow, scaling it to a $16B valuation. But everyday investors couldn’t invest until the IPO, missing early gains. So he made sure that wasn’t the case with Pacaso. Pacaso has made $100M+ in gross profits by disrupting the $1.3T vacation home market. And unlike Zillow, you can invest while Pacaso is private.

Circle Internet Group (CRCL ⬆️ 3.6%): The stablecoin issuer got a regulatory appetizer boost as the Senate passed the Genius Act, establishing rules for stablecoins - the lifeblood of the crypto market. The legislation will create a framework for dollar-pegged tokens backed by reserves, giving Circle's business model some much-needed regulatory clarity and investor confidence.

Peloton Interactive (⬆️ 2.9%): The connected-fitness company rebounds after Tuesday's 12% decline when the Senate's budget bill omitted House provisions allowing health savings accounts for sports and fitness expenses. Sometimes a dead cat bounce tastes better than continued free fall.

Hasbro (⬆️ 0.9%): The toy maker gets a cost-cutting seasoning boost after laying off 3% of its global workforce, according to Wall Street Journal reports. CEO Chris Cocks had warned in April that tariffs could lead to layoffs and higher prices - now the company's serving up the efficiency gains investors crave.

Tesla (TSLA ⬆️ 1.1% premarket): The EV maker attempts another recovery recipe after Tuesday's 3.9% decline, following gains of 1.9% Friday and 1.2% Monday. Shares continue bobbing up and down ahead of this weekend's expected robotaxi launch - sometimes anticipation creates its own volatility seasoning.

Solar Stocks Recovery Attempt: After Tuesday's devastating sector selloff on Republican tax credit elimination plans:

Sunrun (RUN ⬇️ 0.9% premarket): Still digesting Tuesday's record 40% single-day plunge

Enphase Energy, First Solar, SolarEdge: All trading higher in premarket after previous session's carnage, proving even the most beaten-down sectors can find bargain hunters

Biomea Fusion (BMEA ⬇️ 25%): The clinical-stage diabetes and obesity biotech suffered a massive dilution disaster after pricing an underwritten public offering of 19.45 million shares and warrants at $2.00 per unit, raising $40 million gross proceeds. The deal includes pre-funded warrants priced at $1.9999 per unit - when biotech companies resort to sub-$2 pricing, investors always lose their appetite quickly.

UBS (⬇️ 2%): The Swiss banking giant got downgraded by Morgan Stanley from Equal Weight to Underweight, with analysts citing capital uncertainty and weaker earnings relative to peers. The firm cut its price target to CHF 26 from CHF 28, reflecting proposed Swiss regulatory changes requiring UBS to hold up to $24 billion more in capital. Morgan Stanley trimmed buyback assumptions to $3 billion annually, about 40% below consensus.

La-Z-Boy (LZB ⬇️ 2%): The furniture maker disappointed despite stronger Q4 sales, missing earnings expectations, and providing cautious guidance amid macro uncertainty. Q1 sales guidance of $490-510 million implies -1.2% to +2.8% growth, bracketing the $507.9 million consensus. CEO Melinda Whittington cited ongoing housing weakness and economic volatility.

Bitdeer Technologies (BTDR ⬇️ 3%): The Bitcoin mining firm fell after announcing a $300 million private placement of convertible senior notes due 2031, with an additional $45 million option for purchasers. The Singapore-based company plans to use proceeds for data center expansion and mining rig development, but dilution fears always leave crypto investors with indigestion.

Zoetis (⬇️ 0.9%): The animal-health company slipped after Stifel downgraded shares to Hold from Buy, reducing the price target to $160 from $165. Sometimes, even pet-focused businesses can't escape analyst pessimism.
