Yes, you can sometimes have two of the same credit card, but whether you're allowed to depends on the card issuer and the specific card. And even with issuers that allow you to have two of the same card, you're usually subject to limitations and restrictions.
Whether you can have two of the same credit card at one time depends on each credit card issuer's policies. Credit card issuers don't always make it clear that you can apply for the same card multiple times, so we reached out to several major credit card issuers. We asked them to clarify whether a customer could have two of the same card, and this is what we found:
Can you have 2 of the same credit card?

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock is up 4% in morning trading on Wednesday, following a report that the chipmaker was in talks with SK Hynix (NASDAQ:SKHY) that would allow the South Korean company to manufacture memory chips on U.S. soil.
According to the Reuters report, SK Hynix is considering leasing part of Intel's $28 billion chip manufacturing facility in Ohio. Another option, according to the report, would involve SK Hynix forming an agreement with Intel and other major cloud companies seeking memory chip supplies.
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 »

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) reported its fiscal second-quarter results on Aug. 26, and the figures were extraordinary. Quarterly revenue rose 106% year over year to $96.2 billion, accelerating from the 85% growth recorded in the fiscal first quarter. Data center revenue rose 117% to $89.0 billion.
But the figures that caught my eye came out of the earnings call, from chief financial officer Colette Kress.
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 »
"With cloud industry backlog now greater than $2 trillion, [capital expenditures] by the top 5 hyperscalers is expected to reach nearly $800 billion in 2026 and $1.3 trillion in 2027," Kress said.
That backlog is the pipeline behind both spending figures: cloud customers turn it into data centers, and a meaningful share of every data center dollar goes to Nvidia. So the way to size Nvidia's cut is to pin down that share.

Brennan ******* et Management recently released its Q2 2026 investor letter. The letter can be downloaded here. Investors were optimistic about a potential truce with Iran, highlighted by a mid-June memorandum for negotiations on regional security and sanctions, causing oil prices to drop and the market to rally. Despite geopolitical uncertainties, investors remain focused on a surge in AI infrastructure spending, which is expected to heavily influence the global economy, although questions about the returns from this investment loom. Overall, the S&P 500 remains at high valuations, seemingly unfazed by these challenges, while there are few pockets of value left, mostly outside the U.S. market. Also, check the fund's top five holdings to see its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Brennan ******* et Management highlighted Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR). Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) is a US-based broadband connectivity company. On August 28, 2026, Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) closed at $153.62 per share. The one-month return of Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) was 5.25%, and its shares lost -42.89% over the past 52 weeks. Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) has a market capitalization of $26.9 billion.
Brennan ******* et Management stated the following regarding Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR): Universally Hated, We've Been Very Wrong But…~50% Forward Free Cash Flow Yield Incongruous with 2030 Bonds Near Par
As noted earlier, it is incredibly difficult to hold onto winners over time, especially when one has an experience like CHTR. As we have discussed in prior letters, CHTR was once a fantastic winner for us -- really. We sold roughly half and, with the benefit of hindsight, life would be easier if we had sold the rest. What makes it hard is less arithmetic than psychology. A winner that visibly surrenders its gains inflicts far more mental anguish than the same dollar gain ever delivers in pleasure. That asymmetry – the very loss aversion we described with TIGO and GTX – is exactly what tempts investors to sell the sort of hated, mispriced name they should be holding.

SCHMID Group N.V. (NASDAQ:SHMD) delivered a sharp revenue recovery in the first half of 2026, but the quality of that growth fell short of management's earlier expectations. Revenue increased 172% to €46.0 million from €16.9 million, while gross profit improved to €9.8 million from a €1.6 million loss. Gross margin reached 21.2%.
However, SCHMID Group N.V. (NASDAQ:SHMD) lowered its full-year adjusted EBITDA margin outlook to 6%-9% from more than 12%. Management attributed the revision to weaker-than-expected first-half profitability and a product mix weighted toward its lower-margin Chinese business. The central question is whether stronger volume can eventually translate into dependable margins and cash generation.
The underlying performance of SCHMID Group N.V. (NASDAQ:SHMD) improved substantially. Its company-defined non-IFRS adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to €0.6 million from a recalculated €11.6 million. SCHMID Group N.V. (NASDAQ:SHMD) recast the prior-year figure under its current definition to exclude a €6.3 million foreign-exchange gain. Under the previously published definition, the first-half 2025 adjusted EBITDA loss was €5.3 million.
Demand also accelerated after a seasonally weak first quarter. SCHMID Group N.V. (NASDAQ:SHMD) reported €96.6 million of year-to-date equipment orders through August 21, including €52.3 million received during the third quarter through that date. Equipment backlog reached €95.0 million, compared with €54.8 million at the end of June. These figures exclude service and spare-parts orders.
SCHMID Group N.V. (NASDAQ:SHMD) maintained its full-year revenue target of more than €100 million and its €125 million-€150 million order-intake outlook, with management expecting the upper half of that range. Meeting the revenue target requires more than €54 million during the second half, but the larger backlog provides meaningful visibility.

Sustainable Growth Advisers (SGA), an investment management company, released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter for its "Global Growth Strategy." The letter can be downloaded here. The SGA Global Growth Portfolio returned 7.4% gross and 7.2% net, compared with 14.9% for the MSCI ACWI and 19.8% for the MSCI ACWI Growth Index. Momentum leadership and enthusiasm around AI infrastructure drove markets, with semiconductor, memory, and hardware stocks accounting for much of the gain. Although the portfolio owned AI beneficiaries, broader holdings lagged despite fundamentals, as median revenue and EPS growth reached 12% and 14% and more than 60% of the holdings beat expectations. SGA believes valuation compression reflects sentiment rather than weaker business quality, leaving the portfolio near its widest discount to the market since inception. The firm continues to favor durable compounders and expects 16% revenue growth and 20% earnings growth over three years. Also, please check the Fund's top five holdings to see its best picks for 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, SGA Global Growth Strategy highlighted Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN) as a new holding. Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN) operates as the world's leading industrial gas company. On August 21, 2026, Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN) closed at $487.57 per share. The one-month return of Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN) was -3.84%, and its shares gained 2.03% over the past 52 weeks. Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN) has a market capitalization of $224.76 billion.
SGA Global Growth Strategy stated the following regarding Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Linde plc (NASDAQ:LIN), the world's largest industrial gas company, was added to the portfolio in April. We had previously exited the position in 2024 due to valuation considerations and forced attrition; since then, the stock price has consolidated while fundamentals continued to progress. Linde remains an attractive long-term investment, supported by a highly durable business model and meaningful structural advantages. A large share of revenue is generated from long-term, recurring customer contracts in essential end markets, providing strong pricing power and cash flow visibility even in a slower growth environment. The company's strengths are rooted in its production efficiency and broad exposure across diverse end markets, including healthcare, manufacturing, electronics, chemicals, and energy.
Looking ahead, Linde is well-positioned to benefit from structural improvements and a potential acceleration in global growth across several of its core markets over the medium term. The U.S., which accounts for roughly 45% of revenue, is likely to see improved growth driven by an industrial recovery, increased semiconductor manufacturing, and higher refinery utilization. Europe (approximately 25% of revenue) has been a headwind in recent years due to negative volume growth, but is expected to stabilize over the medium term, with the potential for mo

Investor optimism has climbed to its third-highest level since 2022, according to Bank of America's August Global Fund Manager Survey, with portfolio cash holdings approaching historic lows and allocations to equities reaching their strongest level in nearly five years.
Cash declined to 3.5% of **** ets under management in August from 3.6% in July, representing the sixth-lowest reading since the survey began in 1998. BofA's Global FMS Cash Rule, which is designed as a contrarian indicator, therefore remains on "sell," as the signal is activated whenever cash allocations fall to 4.0% or below.
At the same time, global equity exposure increased to a net 56% overweight, its highest level since November 2021. Fund managers have now maintained an overweight position in equities for 14 consecutive months.
Confidence in the economic outlook has also strengthened significantly. A record 56% of respondents anticipate a "no landing" scenario, while 43% expect a "boom" outcome, the highest proportion since February 2022.
"Consensus conviction is no macro landing, no Fed hike, no AI capex cut, no DEM sweep, no bears," BofA strategists led by Michael Hartnett said in a note.

Anthropic's revenue surged sevenfold to $65B annualized, supporting a planned $2 trillion IPO with $200B in revenue targeted by 2028.
Anthropic's most powerful Fable 5 model stalled at just 11% of corporate AI spending, while the cheaper Opus 5 surpassed it within weeks.
If customers keep choosing cheaper 'good enough' models over frontier AI, Anthropic's $200B revenue target by 2028 becomes significantly harder to reach.

Corporate profits are soaring, but they aren’t all created equal. Wall Street’s earnings game is making it needlessly hard for investors to tell real growth from one-time gains.

Coupang Inc. (NYSE:CPNG) reported results on August 4 for the quarter ended June 30, and its two headline numbers point in opposite directions. Net revenues rose 4% year over year to $8.9 billion, or 10% on a constant currency basis, while the company swung to an operating loss of $556 million from a profit a year earlier. Roughly $410 million of that came from administrative fines in South Korea, but even excluding the fines, operating results still fell $295 million short of last year. Growth and profitability moved apart this quarter, and that split now defines the stock's story.
Coupang's newer businesses are growing much faster than its core marketplace. The Developing Offerings segment posted net revenues of $1.4 billion, up 20% year-over-year on a reported basis and 24% on a constant currency basis, and its adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed by $16 million from a year ago, a sign those newer bets are moving toward breakeven rather than away from it. Product Commerce, the core retail and grocery business, still added customers, with active customers reaching 24.7 million, up 3% year over year.
That growth is coming from a strategy built around proprietary logistics rather than a marketplace model borrowed from elsewhere. Coupang runs its own end-to-end infrastructure for its Rocket Fresh grocery service and has pushed into luxury goods through its Farfetch acquisition, layering new categories onto the fast delivery network it already built across South Korea and Taiwan. The company also generated $34.5 billion in revenue for 2025, up roughly 14% from the prior year, a reminder that the growth story predates this particular quarter.
The damage was not confined to the fines. Gross profit fell 3% year-over-year to $2.5 billion, and gross margin slipped 188 basis points to 28.2%. Inside Product Commerce, adjusted EBITDA fell $281 million from last year to $382 million, with margin down 390 basis points to 5.1%. Company-wide adjusted EBITDA margin came in at just 1.8%, down 318 basis points, so even the version of profitability that strips out one-time items is shrinking.
Cash generation is thinning too. Trailing twelve-month operating cash flow fell $484 million to $1.4 billion, and free cash flow dropped to just $105 million, down $679 million from a year earlier. That is a steep decline for a company that still spent $459 million buying back 23.2 million shares during the quarter. Coupang's profitability has historically run thin even in good years, with 2025 net income of about $208 million translating to a net margin near 0.6%, while stock-based compensation made up roughly 26.8% of operating cash flow that year.

Aspire Biopharma Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ASBP) said Monday it completed its $30 million acquisition of Dura Driver Control Systems, expanding the biopharmaceutical company into the automotive and mobility-control market.
The deal, first announced in June, gives Aspire 100% ownership of Dura Driver Control Systems, or DCS, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary. Aspire paid about $30 million in cash.
DCS is a tier-one automotive supplier focused on electronic driver controls and systems supporting vehicle electrification, safety, lightweighting and sustainability. Aspire said the acquisition is expected to add revenue, earnings and cash flow while diversifying its business.
The company also entered into a $22.5 million senior secured revolving credit facility in connection with the transaction. The company said it will use borrowings from the facility, along with cash on hand, to finance the acquisition.
"Closing the DCS acquisition is a cash-flow-positive milestone that structurally enhances Aspire's valuation," CEO and Board Chair Kraig Higginson said.

At Barchart's 2026 Summer Road Show meetings in Omaha and Shakopee, Minnesota, I spent a good deal of time talking about Cost of Carry tables.
With the US heading into fall harvest, we can use these tables to evaluate which market to hold and which to sell, theoretically, when it comes to corn and soybeans.

In early August, the US soybean market has a more bullish long-term fundamental outlook, but things can and will change.
At the Barchart Summer Road Show event in Shakopee, Minnesota, after the talking had ended and the horse racing began (the event was held at Canterbury Park, appropriately enough) a gentleman came up and asked if I had written about the Cost of Carry tables I spent so much time talking about. I remembered him from last year's meeting in Ames. He was interested enough in what I said then to ask if Barchart had charts showing the trend of the percent of calculated full commercial carry spreads cover. As of today, it is still a work in progress (though I have Excel files I post each week). I appreciate his continued interest in futures spreads, and my **** ysis of them. With the US 2026 fall harvest off and running, it's time to take our annual look at what I like to call The Gamblers' Secret. As Kenny Rogers' famous character told us nearly 50 years ago (is that right?!), "You've got to know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away and know when to run." For those of you new to my **** ysis and commentary, let me interpret this for you. Market Rule #2 tells us, "Let the market dictate your action." This includes deciding what crop to store after harvest (hold) and what crop to sell as harvest progresses (fold). How does the market "dictate" our actions, though? If commercial traders need cash supplies, we sell it to them. On the other hand, if those same commercial interests are indicating they do not need supplies to meet demand and are willing to pay you to NOT sell at this time, it's best to listen.
