Apple's (AAPL) stock historically likes the annual iPhone reveal day, at least in the months after the tech giant unveils its latest pricey whiz-bang product.
Shares of the tech giant have often exhibited a modest sell-the-news reaction immediately following launch events before recovering in the subsequent 30-60 days, according to new ***** ysis from Bank of America ***** yst Wamsi Mohan on Tuesday.
Apple's stock has gained in the 60 days following an iPhone reveal day 17 times, dating back to the 2007 smartphone launch, Mohan's research found.
The biggest gain was 20%, recorded 60 days after the iPhone 11 reveal in 2019.
Apple stock wavered on Wednesday ahead of its event.

The Ripple dollar-pegged stablecoin RLUSD has surpassed a $2Bn market capitalization, with more than $1Bn of that supply issued on the XRP Ledger, according to Jack McDonald, Ripple's senior vice president responsible for stablecoins.
The milestone arrived less than two years after RLUSD's launch, McDonald said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, first reported by blockchain outlet The Crypto Basic.
This is not simply a supply-growth headline. It is Ripple's clearest signal yet that RLUSD is meant to function as dollar-based settlement infrastructure across tokenized finance, payments, and lending, rather than as a token confined to exchange order books.
McDonald's disclosure stated that RLUSD issued on the XRP Ledger alone has exceeded $1Bn, a figure distinct from the token's total market capitalization across all networks.
The primary reporting places this announcement in early September, with The Crypto Basic's account crediting the milestone to McDonald's own attestation post rather than to a third-party data aggregator.

MD Sass, a boutique ******* et management firm, published its second-quarter investor update for its flagship, the "MD Sass Concentrated Value Strategy." The letter can be downloaded here. In the first half of 2026, AI infrastructure stocks led the market, with the Russell 1000 Value increasing by 16.3%, outpacing the S&P 500 (10.2%) and Russell 1000 Growth (5.3%). This growth was fueled by semiconductor, memory, and hardware companies benefiting from AI development, even though they are considered cyclical. These sectors, representing only 7.7% of the Russell 1000 Value at the start of the year, contributed nearly 70% of its returns. The portfolio gained 10.0% in the second quarter, net of fees, compared to 13.9% for the Russell 1000 Value Index. Year-to-date, the strategy returned 6.6%, net of fees, versus 16.3% for the Index. The portfolio faced challenges due to limited exposure to companies with the greatest upside from AI infrastructure investments. It also lacked exposure to the Energy sector, which returned about 20% in the first half amid geopolitical tensions with Iran that increased commodity prices, affecting performance. The firm recognizes the importance of adapting its strategies while maintaining core investment principles as it explores future opportunities in emerging technological themes. Also, check the fund's top five holdings to see its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, MD Sass Concentrated Value Strategy highlighted Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU). Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU), a leading semiconductor company manufacturing memory and storage products, contributed to the fund's performance this quarter. On August 28, 2026, Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) closed at $932.86 per share. The one-month return of Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) was 14.00%, and its shares gained 694.60% over the past 52 weeks. Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) has a market capitalization of $1.05 trillion.
MD Sass Concentrated Value Strategy stated the following regarding Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"We owned Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) for only a portion of the second quarter, but its impact was significant, as the stock appreciated approximately 50% during our holding period. Although MU had already experienced a massive run before we initiated our investment, most of the share price appreciation was driven by positive earnings revisions rather than multiple expansion. In fact, with the stock trading at approximately 6x our earnings estimate for the next 12 months, the market clearly signaled that MU was overearning and that a significant decline in earnings was imminent. We believed this ******* umption, although consistent with previous memory boom and bust cycles, was erroneous. We believed this cycle would remain stronger for much longer for three primary reasons. First, high bandwidth memory ("HBM") is growing rapidly, is less commodity orien

Tim Cook is about to hand the reins of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) to incoming CEO John Ternus, but he left shareholders with a bit of bad news on his last earnings call, saying the company is currently facing a "100-year flood"-level event when it comes to memory prices.
Cook wasn't being dramatic. Some memory prices skyrocketed by 90% in the first quarter of 2026 alone as tech companies rushed to buy memory for devices and data centers. The shortage caused prices to spike, and it could be years before the supply-and-demand imbalance is resolved.

I'm an Apple shareholder, and I've been keeping a close eye on the company's response to rising memory costs. Here's why I don't think it's time to worry just yet.
Apple often commands better pricing on the device components (including memory) it purchases from suppliers because of its large order volume. But even Apple hasn't been able to weather the current memory crunch without adjusting pricing strategies.

Greenlight Capital is an investment management firm specializing in value-oriented strategies. The letter can be downloaded here. Greenlight Capital released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, reporting a 4.3% decline for the Partnerships and a 1.9% year-to-date gain, net of fees and expenses, compared with gains of 15.2% and 10.2% for the S&P 500 Index. The funds entered the quarter conservatively, but costly trading decisions and macro positions, particularly in gold and U.S. interest rates, weighed on results. Long positions contributed roughly 9%, offset by similar losses from shorts. The letter also highlighted concerns over speculative market conditions, using **** eX's $1.75 trillion IPO valuation and investment-grade rating as examples of excess. Looking ahead, Greenlight is more constructive on Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh's inflation stance and expects positions to recover if inflation moderates and rates remain unchanged. Additionally, reviewing the Strategy's top holdings could help identify its best ideas for 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Greenlight Capital highlighted Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE:FBIN). Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE:FBIN) provides home, security, and digital products for residential home repair, remodeling, new construction, and security applications in the United States and internationally. On August 26, 2026, Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE:FBIN) closed at $46.31 per share. Over the past month, Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE:FBIN) returned -7.33%, while its shares have declined 22.57% in the last 52 weeks. Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE:FBIN) has a market capitalization of $5.44 billion, and its stock has traded within a 52-week range of $32.34 to $64.84.
Greenlight Capital stated the following regarding Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE:FBIN) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE:FBIN) is a building products company whose brands include Moen, Therma-Tru and Master Lock. Over the past several years, both a challenging housing market and poor execution by prior management led to share losses and profit erosion. Despite these challenges, we believe the company's brands remain strong and its competitive position is intact. In March, an activist investor joined the board, and in June the company appointed a new CEO with an exceptional track record of value creation in the building products industry. Even without a recovery in housing, we believe new leadership can address the operational issues and grow earnings substantially. While significant share recapture (or a strong housing recovery) would provide additional upside, if FBIN simply achieves the low end of prior management's mid-cycle margin targets on current revenue, it should support approximately $5 of earnings per share. We acquired our position at an average price of $39.37, or approximately 8x those earnings, while peers trade for almost 20x. FBIN shar

While ******* e's stock has bubbled up, Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta (META) is down by 15%, and Elon Musk's Tesla (TSLA) is off by 22% (the latter being the worst-performing Magnificent Seven member in 2026).
Score one for the expense-watching middle managers at ******* e — a completely different approach than the likes of Meta (aggressively building massive AI data centers) and Tesla (aggressively building robots and robotaxis).
The investment thesis at ******* e has been a classic case of an old-school consumer-products business being reinvented, with a heavy dose of cost cuts and safe-haven appeal in an uncertain world.

The second quarter earnings season is nearly complete, with Nvidia's (NVDA) Q2 results on Wednesday serving as a keystone to a remarkably strong stretch of corporate reports.
According to FactSet data, second quarter earnings for S&P 500 companies are on pace to rise 50% year over year, the highest growth rate since 2021. Artificial intelligence has been the growth engine of that broad-based earnings growth, Bank of America strategists noted.
In addition to Nvidia's results, investors watched for key updates from dollar stores Dollar Tree (DLTR) and Dollar General (DG); software companies, such as Salesforce (CRM), Intuit (INTU), and Zoom (ZM); and other retailers like ******* 's Sporting Goods (DKS) and Kohl's (KSS).
Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) plunged further into the red on Tuesday after the footwear and apparel retailer warned that headwinds may get worse for the remainder of the year.
"We're going to go through some pain," ******* 's executive chairman Edward Stack said in the company's earnings call. "Every once in a while, an industry has to go through a little bit of pain to reset, and we're going through that right now. But we're going to come out the other side, the industry and ******* 's Inc., stronger than we've gone into it."

e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:ELF)'s growth story right now has a very famous face behind it. Rhode, the skincare and makeup brand founded by Hailey Bieber, was bought by e.l.f. for $1 billion a year ago. It contributed about $160 million of the $479.4 million in sales the company posted last quarter, helping total sales climb 36% and beat Wall Street's expectation of $431.2 million. By contrast, the core e.l.f. Brand actually declined.
Ulta Beauty, Inc. (NASDAQ:ULTA) told a very different story earlier this summer: its fiscal first-quarter sales climbed 11% to $3.16 billion as wealthier shoppers traded up to prestige brands.
Both retailers just beat expectations, but e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:ELF)'s growth is now riding almost entirely on one celebrity-founded brand while its own namesake line shrinks. Ulta's is coming from affluent shoppers splurging on prestige names.
That leaves a real question: is e.l.f.'s Rhode-powered growth a sign of real momentum, or a company becoming dangerously dependent on a single brand?
Rhode's appeal goes well beyond its Gen Z fanbase. CFO Mandy Fields said "everybody looks at her and aspires to do what she's doing," adding that women in their 40s are lining up for Rhode products too, a sign the brand isn't confined to one age group. Rhode's narrow, curated approach, going deep on a handful of categories like blushes, lips, and bronzer rather than chasing one viral hit, has driven strength broadly across its lineup. e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:ELF) also raised full-year guidance meaningfully: adjusted EPS to $3.50-$3.55 from $3.27-$3.32 and sales to $1.94 billion-$1.97 billion from $1.84 billion-$1.87 billion, both ahead of Wall Street's prior estimates. Management said trends for the core e.l.f. brand have already started improving, and it expects growth across every brand for the rest of the year. Profit also got a boost because Rhode outperformed the earnout targets set in the acquisition deal, prompting e.l.f. to record a $16.1 million fair value adjustment.

The U.S. Treasury Department said Wednesday it will more than double the size of its debt buybacks, and yields dropped as someone had finally answered the phone.
Scott Bessent and his team are aiming at the far end of the curve, the 10-to-20 and 20-to-30 year bond investors who have been avoiding Treasuries like gas station sushi since late June. Starting September 9, Bessent and Co. will double how much of that stuff it's willing to buy back, from $2 billion up to at least $4 billion. Traders responded just like 1500 Pennsylvania Ave. hoped they would, with the 10-year yield falling 6 basis points to 4.647%, the 30-year dropping 9 to 5.196%, a level that 24 hours earlier was the highest since 2007. Stock futures cheered from the sidelines.
But here is the plainer version of what the Treasury just did: ***** ody wanted to buy the long bond, so the government is going to buy more of it itself, becoming the customer the market declined to be. Think of it like Bessent lending the bond market its own credit card.

On August 7, **** ured Guaranty (NYSE:AGO) closed out a first half that pushed several core valuation metrics to record territory. Shareholders' equity, adjusted operating shareholders' equity, and adjusted book value per share all hit new highs at quarter-end, while new business production climbed to $152 million in present value of new business production/PVP for the first six months of 2026, up from $103 million a year earlier. That growth came even as the company kept underwriting through credit exposures that haven't gone away.
US public finance alone generated $106 million of PVP in the first half of 2026, more than the entire company produced in the first half of 2025, while insuring $9.6 billion of new issue par across 423 transactions. Global structured finance PVP more than doubled to $35 million from $15 million a year earlier, helped by fund finance deals that typically mature in a few months to a little over two years, letting the company recycle capital faster than in its longer-duration public finance book. The newer annuity reinsurance platform, **** ured Life Re, launched in January, and management says it remains on track to hit its production and income milestones.
Overseas, the company added deals in the UK, Spain, and France, part of a stated push into Europe and Asia Pacific. Second quarter adjusted operating income rose 22% year-over-year to $55 million, or $1.23 per share, helped by loss expense falling to $4 million from $28 million a year earlier. The company also kept returning cash, repurchasing 554,000 shares for $45 million in the quarter and paying $17 million in dividends, with the quarterly dividend per share now at $0.38.
Not everything moved in a straight line. The Brightline transaction was the biggest driver of economic loss development in the quarter, and management said the toll operator continues to face liquidity pressure even as its revenue grows; the exposure hasn't hurt adjusted operating income yet because expected losses haven't exceeded the deferred premium revenue on the policy, but the company said it is still working with Brightline and its other creditors on a resolution.
Thames Water remained a live issue too, though management reported no material change to its loss expectations in the second quarter, and the company is waiting on a new administration to help implement a solution creditors already negotiated with the UK regulator. The alternative investment book, which has delivered a roughly 12% inception-to-date internal rate of return against a 4.3% three-year average yield on the fixed maturity portfolio, took a step back after a $19 million mark-to-market loss tied to a CLO equity fund investment that reports on a one-quarter lag, a reminder of how much a single position can sway quarterly results.

For months, investors questioned whether Palantir Technologies (PLTR) could justify its premium valuation, especially as competition in the artificial intelligence (AI) enterprise software market intensified. Those concerns, however, have largely taken a back seat following the company's blockbuster second-quarter results and significantly stronger-than-expected outlook.
Palantir continues to benefit from surging demand for its AI Platform (AIP), which is driving rapid growth in both revenue and profitability. The latest results suggest that the company is not only maintaining its leadership in the enterprise AI software market but is also widening its competitive advantage through strong customer adoption and execution.

Carillon Tower Advisers, an investment management company, released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter for the "Carillon Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund". A copy of the letter is available to download here. Mid-cap stocks delivered strong results, with the Russell Midcap® Growth Index rising 14.55% and slightly outperforming the Russell Midcap® Value Index's 13.40% gain. Information technology led the growth index with a 36.90% return, while industrials also outperformed, and energy was the only sector to decline. The quarter was supported by resilient corporate earnings, economic growth and AI infrastructure spending, although geopolitical tensions, higher energy prices and election-related uncertainty could create volatility. The firm remains optimistic that data-center investment will support technology, energy, defense and automation companies, while attractive healthcare valuations and stronger merger activity could create opportunities. However, financials and consumer stocks face mixed conditions because of housing weakness, inflation and uneven spending. In addition, please check the Fund's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.

July 22 (Reuters) - Electronic equipment maker TE Connectivity on Wednesday forecast fourth-quarter profit and revenue above Wall Street expectations, betting on ‌a boom in demand for its AI-related tools and products.
Growing ‌demand for AI-related tools and products has boosted investments in data centers and network equipment globally, benefiting companies like TE, which produces electrical connector systems used in data centers.
CEO Terrence Curtin told Reuters in an interview that the company would stick to its strategy of passing on higher raw material costs through price hikes to ‌protect its margins, as ⁠the cost of oil-based products such as resins remains elevated amid renewed fighting between the U.S. and Iran.
When asked about ⁠refunds from President Donald Trump's tariffs, Curtin said the company had applied for them and had not "gotten big money back," adding that it would return the refunds to customers, rather than offering broad price cuts.

Meta is reportedly in talks to lease computing power to Anthropic in a deal worth as much as $10 billion over two years, according to the New York Times.
The arrangement would open a new business line for Meta while easing Anthropic's desperate hunt for compute.
Computing power, or compute, refers to the data center capacity used to train and run artificial intelligence models. The Anthropic proposal, first announced in June, would let the startup rent Meta's excess infrastructure rather than build its own facilities.
According to the NTY, Anthropic would pay Meta in monthly installments over the two-year period, with an early-exit clause available to either party.
The scale still looks modest by industry standards. The proposal runs about a third of the deal Anthropic signed with Elon Musk's **** eX in May.

If OpenAI and Anthropic go public at valuations even close to expected, could they also quickly enter index funds, including the S&P 500? Let's find out.
The biggest catalyst is Nasdaq's new fast-entry rule. Under the updated Nasdaq-100 methodology, the largest new listings can be reviewed on their seventh trading day if their full market value ranks among the top 40 current Nasdaq-100 companies. The companies also need to meet Nasdaq's eligibility rules and have enough trading liquidity.
Nasdaq may consider both listed and unlisted shares when determining eligibility and ranking, but the company's actual weight in the index is based only on listed shares. So OpenAI and Anthropic could go public at high valuations, but their impact on the index would depend on how many shares are actually listed for trading, not just on their total market value.

Avantis U.S. Small Cap Value gives investors active exposure to profitable, lower-valuation small-cap stocks.
Vanguard Small-Cap offers broad, low-cost access to small-cap companies across value and growth categories.
iShares Russell 2000 remains one of the most liquid ways to track the broader U.S. small-cap market.
The small-cap equities world carries a number of risks—unproven companies, higher volatility, and so on—but also brings the opportunity for growth that may outpace some larger names. International small-cap names may be heating up, and while small-cap stocks in the United States have already had a good run, many valuations remain comparably attractive when held up against mega-cap tech stocks and other top names. A big factor is the interest rate environment: investors predicting that the Fed might hold rates steady or even lower them at some point in the foreseeable future might want to stock up on small-cap names to buy and hold before that time.

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) is one of the stocks with rising earnings estimates and fresh catalysts.
The stock has 42 upward EPS revisions and 3 downward revisions for the upcoming fiscal year over the last three months, while revenue estimates show 43 upward revisions and 2 downward revisions.

The catalyst is broader than GPUs: agentic AI, cloud expansion, and enterprise modernization are increasing CPU demand alongside accelerator demand.

After such a meteoric rally, most investors might **** ume the easy money has already been made. But in my view, Micron's true potential is only beginning to unfold. The catalyst that powered its meteoric ascent -- unprecedented demand for advanced memory in artificial intelligence (AI) data centers -- is accelerating, not peaking.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
That sets the stage for Micron to enjoy substantially higher earnings power, and puts the stock price on a trajectory that could lead it to trade at $2,000 or more within the next year.
Over the last few quarters, Micron has meaningfully accelerated both its revenue and earnings growth. The reason is simple: The company's products sit at the center of the AI infrastructure build-out. Hyperscalers are pouring record sums of capital expenditures into the construction of new data centers, which has resulted in acute shortages of DRAM, NAND, and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) -- all three of which Micron specializes in.
