A warehouse robotics company is generating cash like a high-yield bond, yet the market is pricing it as if that cash flow could vanish.
Symbotic (SYM) builds the AI-powered robot fleets that automate large warehouses. Yet for a company at the center of physical automation, its stock has performed poorly, returning -15.0% over the past year and trading about 47% below its 52-week high. This has created a stark mathematical divide. The market appears to be pricing Symbotic for significant risk, but its financial profile tells a story of high, stable cash generation and growth.
The question is simple: Is the market right to demand such a high return for the perceived risk, or is it overlooking a cash-generating machine that also grows?
This Coupon Pays 13.0% and Is Growing
An investor today has a choice. You can lend to the U.S. government for 10 years and receive a 4.8% yield, the risk-free rate. Or you can own a piece of Symbotic, whose free cash flow alone provides a 13.0% yield at the current price. That is a spread of 8.2% over the safest **** et available. This isn't a one-time event driven by accounting quirks; the company's 3-year average free-cash-flow yield is a still-healthy 8.0%.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe stat will prove all fans who wanted him gone right originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Things obviously didn't go as planned for former New York Yankees starting shortstop Anthony Volpe, who was recently sent to Triple-A on Monday night to make room for the debut of George Lombard. Lombard, who's expected to come in and have a major impact on the Yankees, finds himself in a good spot to win a job.
The reality is that Volpe didn't do enough on either side of the baseball and, as a result, was sent down. However, while most fans understood how poorly he was playing throughout the past few seasons, it was actually even worse than it sounded.
One ESPN writer brought up a crazy stat recently, which suggested that Volpe was among the three worst hitters in Major League Baseball.
"Like Lombard, Volpe was the Yankees' top prospect when they named him their Opening Day shortstop in 2023. Born in Manhattan and raised in New Jersey as a die-hard Yankees fan, Volpe arrived with great expectations. He has not fulfilled them.

O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:ORLY) recently reported solid financial results for the second quarter of 2026. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, sales increased by $367 million, or 8%, to $4.89 billion from $4.53 billion in the same period last year. Gross profit also increased 8% to $2.52 billion compared to the same period one year ago, while the gross margin remained unchanged at 51.4% of sales.
Despite the strong quarterly performance, some Wall Street **** ysts lowered their price targets on O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:ORLY) while keeping their positive ratings on the stock. Morgan Stanley cut its price target from $112 to $108 and maintained its Overweight rating. The research firm said the company's second-quarter results were broadly in line with expectations and believes its underlying earnings power remains intact.
DA Davidson also reduced its price target on O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:ORLY) to $106 from $114 while keeping its Buy rating. The firm noted that the company indicated it is not pursuing a deal with GPC, with both companies now stepping away from the transaction. According to DA Davidson, the market had not reacted favorably to the potential deal.
Bull Case
DA Davidson noted that O'Reilly Automotive, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:ORLY) selling, general, and administrative expenses pressure have reached their peak, which should support stronger incremental margins. The firm also pointed out that the company's implied guidance for the second half of 2026 could prove to be conservative even as it navigates margin pressure.

Liverpool have been the talk of the town over the last few weeks.
Before Arne Slot was sacked, most people expected the Dutchman to be leading the Reds into the 2025-26 season.
That is, despite how poorly his team performed under his guidance.
However, Fenway Sports Group finally saw sense and replaced him with Andoni Iraola.
And, although Liverpool's head coaches have some say in the deals that their club makes, the main mastermind behind them all is Richard Hughes.

You follow the San Francisco Giants, so you're familiar with bad baseball. You're well aware of it from watching the Giants, both this year and in many other years. But you've also become keenly alert to bad baseball through divisional foes such as the woeful Colorado Rockies, who, in most years, make you feel a little better about the Giants.
Through all of this you've learned something critical to the baseball-watching experience: there are levels to the badness. There are bad teams and there are bad teams, and there's a whole gradient betwixt the badness, plus a little something something past the extreme end of the spectrum.
The Giants have been a bad team if you look at the year as a whole, but they've sneakily only been a bad bordering on mediocre team in recent weeks. Entering tonight's game, the Giants were 25-27 over the last two months. Not the stuff dreams or even playoff teams are made of, but certainly not bad.
Well let me tell you something, folks: that have been a borderline competent team you watched for the last two months, but it's going to be a downright bad team that you watch for the next two months. That's just the nature of the best when you sell at the deadline, as the Giants absolutely, positively, most definitely needed to do and, thankfully, did (and very well, I might).
You don't get rid of your best hitter, your second-best starting pitcher, your fourth-best starting pitch, two of your best relievers, and your everyday outfielder and expect to get anything other than categorically worse, especially when the haul in return only featured two rostered players, one of which is playing fairly poorly in AAA, and the other of which is injured with no timetable for a return.

Philadelphia Union confirmed Friday the $4 million sale of defender Olwethu Makhanya to Scottish side Rangers, ending the South African's two-season stint in Major League Soccer after losing his starting spot to 18-year-old Neil Pierre.
Makhanya arrived at Union as a developmental prospect but quickly established himself as a starter. In 2025, he formed a formidable partnership with veteran Jacob Glesnes, anchoring the defense that led Philadelphia to the Supporters' Shield under Bradley Carnell.
The 22-year-old defender was expected to take on greater leadership following Glesnes' departure, but his 2026 season started poorly. Despite earning a call-up to South Africa's World Cup squad, Makhanya didn't see the field during the tournament.
While Makhanya was away with his national team, Neil Pierre returned from a loan spell at Danish club Lyngby and seized his opportunity. The teenage defender impressed immediately, scoring off the bench in his first appearances and quickly claiming the starting role.
Pierre's breakthrough made Makhanya expendable, prompting the club to accept Rangers' offer. At 1.82m tall, Makhanya brings physical strength, intensity in duels, and defensive aggression that should translate well to Scottish football.

Jerry Jones is confident that Tony Romo won't be defined by his recent arrest.
The longtime Dallas Cowboys quarterback was arrested in Wisconsin on July 23 on suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence (OWI), according to police records obtained by USA TODAY Sports. He "performed poorly on SFSTs (standard field sobriety tests)," resulting in him being taken into custody.
Jones was asked about Romo during a recent interview with KDFW Fox 4, when the Cowboys' owner said he has "been talking to" Romo in the aftermath of his arrest, and spoke glowingly about his former quarterback's character and talent.
"I love him," Jones said of Romo. "I love what he's about. I love his character. I love his love of sport. And he's a very, very unique talent. And the real question is – and I don't even have to ask what the answer is: Do you think Tony Romo knows how to get up when he gets knocked down? He had a life of that. And absolutely, that's one of his greatest attributes, is that he can handle adversity.
"And so this is something that he will work through. He is a unique talent. ... So, obviously, I'm a big fan of his, big fan of his family, and let me tell you right now, he's as real as he sounds. He feels every down time, he feels every up time."

At the All-Star Break's conclusion, I wrote on expectations, and their virtue as an exercise with this franchise towards a more hopeful future near and far. These Seattle Mariners, 3.0 games back of the AL West and the third Wild Card spot alike, have earned little and less belief. They've played poorly, wasted chances, and frittered opportunities to cleanse their palates. Much has rightly been made of the necessity for the core players to perform at or near the standards they've set for several years. But Seattle is giving up massive production on the fringes, and they've forced themselves into an uncomfortable, desperate position.
It is time for them to call up Michael Arroyo.
Seattle needs right-handed hitting, and with J.P. Crawford sidelined at least for several weeks, there is no easy solution at third base. Brendan Donovan returns on Tuesday to rotate around the field, but it's hard to look at the lineup as constructed and see anywhere for him to play more frequently than the hot corner. Arroyo has played some third base, but it's realistically not where he could be thrown in, although his defense is less egregious and more limited if asked to play second base or corner outfield. But they need his bat, because the Mariners need to take some risks, and rotating Weston Wilson, Victor Robles, Rob Refsnyder, Leo Rivas, and Mitch Garver through to take flaccid swing after flaccid swing is a Wile. E. Coyote kind of road that the Mariners have been slamming into the wall of all summer. The Rainiers' roster is stocked with similar players who've struggled to set themselves apart this year and over many years, from Connor Joe to Patrick Wisdom to Stuart Fairchild, along with injured options like Ryan Bliss and Brennen Davis. With Luke Raley seemingly ailing, the M's have to be more aggressive to rev up their offense before it's too late.
View Link
Arroyo is a 21 year old Colombian ~utilityman whose profile made him the most-heralded hitting prospect from his burgeoning baseball nation since Colombia's first and greatest star: SS Edgar Renteria. The 5'10, compact youngster has never been at the top of Seattle's prospect list, but has hit his way into top-100 status nationally over the past couple seasons, with an approach I first wrote about in the winter before the 2024 season. Following a strong debut at age 18 with the Low-A Modesto Nuts, I said this of Arroyo:

MILWAUKEE (AP) — CBS NFL ****** yst and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo had an open container of alcohol in his vehicle when he was stopped by police last week and later arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, authorities said.
According to one of three citations released by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office, the "open bottle of an alcoholic beverage" was discovered in the passenger's side of Romo's black Jeep during an inventory before it was towed.
Another citation said police stopped Romo on Interstate 43 on July 23 after he was seen passing cars in a gore area, which separates interstate traffic from cars entering from an on-ramp. Police said Romo questioned what a gore area was during the stop.
Romo performed poorly on field sobriety tests and was taken into custody, booked and released. Court records show Romo was later cited for refusing "to take test for intoxication after arrest." He has a court appearance scheduled for Sept. 21.
According to body camera footage released earlier this week, Romo told deputies he had been coming from a golf course and was on his way "to visit grandma and grandpa" when he was stopped.

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Wednesday that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) treated Republicans poorly, recalling that she would sometimes "yell" at GOP lawmakers.
Speaking on Fox News's "Jesse Watters Primetime" while discussing a graphic comparing how conservatives and liberals perceive one another, McCarthy agreed with the sentiment that most liberals view conservatives as "savages" while most conservatives see liberals as "children."
"This is where they get the Trump syndrome," McCarthy said, referencing what President Trump has dubbed "Trump derangement syndrome," explaining the intense criticism of him on the left.
McCarthy claimed Pelosi "really felt this about us."
"Like, we shouldn't be in the room — she would yell at me sometimes," McCarthy recalled. "And then, they would put magnetometers to try to deny us from entering, and you couldn't co-author with us."

Hilaria Baldwin says accusations that she married Alec Baldwin for his wealth initially hurt because they did not reflect the precautions she took at the beginning of their relationship.
During an appearance on SiriusXM's Page Six Radio, the former yoga instructor acknowledged why their circumstances attracted suspicion.
She was 27 when she met the 52-year-old actor, who was already wealthy and internationally famous.
Hilaria said she nevertheless rejected Alec's early attempts to buy her things because she wanted to determine whether the relationship would remain appealing without the financial security he could provide.
Hilaria recalled living in a small New York City apartment with an unpredictable heating system when she met Alec in 2011. Her laptop worked so poorly and became so hot that she sometimes placed her hands around it for warmth at night.

What's the definition of "not going well?" How about playing a series against a team that came in on a 12-game losing streak, and getting swept? The series against the Marlins showed that it's not just one thing plaguing the Phillies at the moment, it's everything. Each loss came in a different fashion, with the one common thread being poor defense.
Next, the Phillies will travel to Baltimore to take on an Orioles team that theoretically should provide some opportunities for victories. However, considering how poorly the team has played since the All-Star Game, any future opponents could say the same thing.
Jackson Holliday was a can't miss prospect. The son of a former All-Star and first overall pick of the 2022 draft, Holliday was rated as the top prospect in baseball prior to the 2024 season. When he was called up to the majors in April of that year, it was expected that the middle infielder would become an instant star.
For every Phillies fan who complains that the team is too slow to promote their young players, just remember that not every prospect, no matter how touted they are, is going to be succeed immediately upon reaching the majors. Holliday struggled so much that the team quickly demoted him. (For the fans who want to trade every prospect, this is some ammunition for your case.)
He returned to the majors at the end of July that year, and while he wasn't awful, he certainly didn't look anything like the star that was promised. 2025 was slightly better as he hit 17 home runs, but his defense was subpar and his OPS was only .690.

Tony Romo has been placed on leave by CBS Sports "until further notice" following his July 23 arrest in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence.
J.J. Watt will replace Romo during the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback's absence and work alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson.
Romo, 46, was stopped going southbound on I-43 and "performed poorly on SFSTs (standard field sobriety tests)," according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office's arrest report.
He has a court date set for Sept. 21.
Romo has been CBS Sports' lead NFL ***** yst since 2017 following his retirement from the league. He spent his entire 13-year playing career with the Dallas Cowboys, rising from an undrafted free agent to a four-time Pro Bowl selection and the franchise's all-time leader in touchdown passes.

CBS Sports placed Tony Romo on leave Friday morning, "until further notice," in its first public statement since his OWI arrest in Milwaukee last week
"Tony Romo is on leave from his role at CBS Sports until further notice," the network said in a statement.
Awful Announcing has learned that JJ Watt will join Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson as the network's lead NFL broadcast team during Romo's absence, with CBS set to release the rest of its NFL on CBS roster at a later date.
Boomer Esiason told his radio audience barely a day earlier that he didn't expect CBS to comment on the situation at all, a read that lined up with how the network had handled things all week. The Daily Mail had reported days earlier that CBS executives had already closed ranks around Romo, with one source telling the outlet, "I don't want to act like it's not a big deal, because it is. But it's not going to get him fired." A second characterized the arrest as a "lapse in judgment" rather than anything approaching a fireable offense, noting Romo had reached out to his bosses almost the moment it happened.
Romo was pulled over on Interstate 43 in Milwaukee County on the night of July 23, hours after competing in the Wisconsin Amateur Championship, and taken into custody after performing poorly on standardized field sobriety tests. Body camera footage of the stop later surfaced on TMZ, including Romo's own reaction to the test results.

The Las Vegas Raiders look to be an improved team heading into this season, and the way in which the team is approaching their preparation for the upcoming slate ahead has second year back Ashton Jeanty encouraged by what he's seen so far.
"There's different energy and urgency in the building, and I truly believe that it starts from the top down," said Jeanty. "So, I love what I'm seeing so far from everybody and it's only gonna continue to grow and get better."
The Raiders earned a 3-14 record in Jeanty's rookie season in 2025. He and former QB Geno Smith struggled behind a poorly coached patchwork offensive line. Jeanty finished averaging just 3.7 per carry for the year and Smith was sacked 55 times. A gutted Las Vegas defense also showed room for improvement around Pro Bowl EDGE Maxx Crosby.
This offseason saw a far more aggressive approach led by the hiring of reigning Super Bowl champion Kubiak to be their next head coach this offseason.

"There's different energy and urgency in the building, and I truly believe that it starts from the top down," said Jeanty. "So, I love what I'm seeing so far from everybody and it's only gonna continue to grow and get better."
The Raiders earned a 3-14 record in Jeanty's rookie season in 2025. He and former QB Geno Smith struggled behind a poorly coached patchwork offensive line. Jeanty finished averaging just 3.7 per carry for the year and Smith was sacked 55 times. A gutted Las Vegas defense also showed room for improvement around Pro Bowl EDGE Maxx Crosby.
This offseason saw a far more aggressive approach led by the hiring of reigning Super Bowl champion Kubiak to be their next head coach this offseason. Big free agent acquisitions included veteran Kirk Cousins and center Tyler Linderbaum on offense and big upgrades at linebacker, edge rusher, and cornerback.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS Sports broadcaster Tony Romo was arrested in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin on the night of July 23, according to police records obtained by USA TODAY Sports.
According to the records, Romo is accused of operating a vehicle while under the influence (OWI). Romo was stopped going southbound on I-43 and "performed poorly on SFSTs (standard field sobriety tests)." On July 28, new details came to light after bodycam footage surfaced.
Obtained by TMZ, the footage showed what took place during the stop and led to his arrest. Romo explained he was heading to his grandparents' home at the time of the stop, which occurred after the quarterback left a golf tournament nearby.
Take a look:
According to the officer, the reason for the stop was "unsafe passing on the right," and "cutting across the gore."

Kate Cassidy has removed one of her tribute tattoos to Liam Payne.
On Tuesday, the social media influencer took to Instagram to share a picture from Skin Club Miami laser studio. She captioned the mirror selfie, "tattoo removal today."
She followed the post with a video of the tattoo removal process, which extracted her "444" tattoo. The piece was initially done as a tribute for Liam after his death in October 2024. It represented the couple's angel number that meant love and support.
Along the video, the influencer clarified she "decided to get some tattoos removed that were done poorly," however, she "will be getting redone eventually."
The influencer had several tattoos done in honor of Liam. She also has one of angel wings and his initials, "LP," on her wrist.

In the winter of 2024, Roma decided to appoint Daniele De Rossi as manager after the dismissal of José Mourinho. And after an encouraging start from the former number 16, fans were growing hopeful that the man who had made the club famous as a player would have an equally impressive career on the bench.
The following season, despite his contract extension, the Ostia native only made a handful of appearances as manager, and was then sacked by the Friedkins.
From then on, a series of ups and downs began for the club, which first brought in Ivan Juric and then Claudio Ranieri, but the season still ended with the club securing a Europa League spot.
Fans, however, remained discontented at seeing a club legend treated so poorly. Even more disappointed than the fans was De Rossi himself, who gave an interview to Cronache di Spogliatoio.
In a brief excerpt, the former midfielder commented on his dismissal: "I was furious. I had my 'enemies' and I felt defeated in a battle I didn't have time to fight. But I never wanted to show that I was getting jealous. I only did it once in a press conference at Spal, and I regretted it. I've worked hard on these things."

Tony Romo and CBS Sports were probably hoping that the news of his OWI arrest would start to recede from the public consciousness at this point. Unfortunately for them, footage of police approaching the NFL commentator's car and the subsequent sobriety test has hit the internet.
Romo was arrested Thursday night in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating while intoxicated after reportedly performing poorly on standardized field sobriety tests. He was subsequently booked on a first-offense operating while intoxicated (OWI) charge and released. Romo was also cited for refusing to take an intoxication test.
As tends to happen in these situations, the body cam footage comes courtesy of TMZ.

Lamar Jackson shares the expectations of those who believe the Baltimore Ravens can contend for a Super Bowl. He is no longer interested in discussing those projections without results. Baltimore entered last season widely viewed as one of the NFL's most talented teams. The Ravens instead finished 8-9 and missed the postseason, providing Jackson with a direct response to another offseason of championship predictions.
"We were just 8-9," Jackson said on "The Lounge" podcast. "We were talking about it, but we didn't produce. So why talk about it? We've got to be about it."
Jackson still expects Baltimore to compete for the championship. His focus has shifted toward the daily work required to reach February rather than the destination itself.
"It starts now," Jackson said. "It starts each and every week. It doesn't just happen in February. We have to get there first."
That process includes improvement in meetings, practice, recovery and situational football. Jackson pointed to a recent training-camp practice in which the Ravens began and finished poorly. He viewed it as an opportunity to correct a pattern that has hurt Baltimore during previous seasons. The lesson was reinforced by Baltimore's playoff loss to Tennessee following the 2019 regular season. The Ravens entered that game with a 14-2 record and considerable expectations but fell behind early and never recovered.

During a conversation with Turkey's Socrates Magazine, the 23-year-old was asked about some of the controversial narratives surrounding last season's team. Regarding his pairing with Durant, Sengun said (via YouTube's English transcript): A perception suddenly formed out of nowhere. I've never had an argument with KD, not even once. We've never raised our voices at each other. We always talk, and we always talk after games, too. We especially talked after games we lost. Like, "What are we doing wrong?" I specifically would ask him, "What do we need to do? Where do you think we made mistakes today? Why didn't it work out?" I ask him, and he answers. These things always happen, but like I said, because we're people who hate losing… you can see that on our faces during games. You can read it on KD's face. You can read it on my face. You can read it on Ime's face. KD also has a massive fanbase. I think about it like this. My fans will never view me negatively. I notice this. Like, there are areas where I perform poorly, and I see that myself. But, say, I'm talking to someone on the phone — they'll always blame others. I'm not that kind of person, though. I always hold myself accountable. I don't speak like that with anyone — whether it's a friend or family member. When things like that are discussed, I always say, "That's not how the situation actually is." Do you get me? I can't ease my conscience by shifting the blame to someone else. I don't like those kinds of excuses, and you can't get any better that way.

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider responded to criticism from the fans after the Blue Jays have struggled so far this season.
Just a season removed from making it to Game 7 of the World Series, the Blue Jays are in last place in the American League East and are extremely unlikely to make the playoffs this year, as they are currently 47-57 with 58 games left in the season.
Frustration has boiled over to the Blue Jays' fanbase, who are extremely frustrated by how poorly the team has played so far this season. The fans have also been critical of Schneider, whose managerial decisions in terms of his lineups and bullpen usage have been heavily criticized among the Blue Jays fanbase.
But according to Schneider, he doesn't care what the general public thinks.
Speaking to the "Blair & Barker" show, Schneider responded to fan criticism directed towards the job he has done as Blue Jays manager and toward the team in general.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS color commentator Tony Romo was arrested Thursday on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to multiple reports.
According to the report, Romo was traveling southbound on Interstate 43 on the high-rise bridge in Milwaukee when he was stopped by authorities on the evening of July 23. Law enforcement officials indicated that the former quarterback performed poorly on standardized field sobriety tests, which led to his arrest of operating while intoxicated (OWI), Wisconsin's legal term for DUI.
Romo, 46, was taken into custody, booked, and released the same night. The incident is reportedly being treated as a first-time offense, which in Wisconsin is typically categorized as a cicli violations rather than a criminal charge. Potential penalties could include fines and other administrative consequences.
A court appearance has been tentatively scheduled for September 21, where further details surrounding the case are expected to emerge. CBS is scheduled to broadcast four games on September 20, the day before his expected appearance, but announcers have not yet been ***** igned to specific games.
Since his 14-year career in Dallas, Romo has largely maintained a clean public image.

Tony Romo, CBS Sports's No. 1 NFL game **** yst, was arrested in Milwaukee on Thursday for OWI (Operating While Intoxicated).
According to the arrest report obtained by Fox6 Milwaukee, the former Cowboys quarterback was pulled over while driving on Interstate 43. The 46-year-old Romo was taken into custody after "performing poorly on standardized field sobriety tests." He's due in court on Monday, Sep. 21.
Romo's arrest comes just weeks before the start of the 2026 NFL season. Given the star power of Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Romo is likely to call the Bills-Texans Week 1 game on Sunday, Sep. 13 with play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson.
After quarterbacking the Cowboys for 14 seasons, Romo joined CBS in 2017 and immediately became the network's No. 1 game **** yst, succeeding veteran Phil Simms. Romo quickly became a TV sensation, with viewers dubbing him "Romostradamus" for his uncanny ability to predict play calls just before they played out on the field.
But Romo has faced mounting criticism for his on-air performance in recent seasons. CBS also has a strong No. 2 team with JJ Watt and Ian Eagle.

Blue Jays are in same boat as Mets for potential Tarik Skubal trade originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Toronto Blue Jays came into the 2026 MLB season as one of the top World Series contenders, but after the season has gone very poorly for a few reasons, they're now at great risk of missing the postseason.
As part of missing the postseason, as they're well behind their top competition in the AL East and the wild card, the Blue Jays could wind up selling at the deadline.
As Katie Woo, Will Sammon, and Patrick Mooney of The Athletic noted, the Blue Jays are in the same boat as the New York Mets when it comes to the trade deadline, and more specifically, in pursuit of Tarik Skubal.
"Tier 8: Maybe in free agency. Teams: New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays," the trio from The Athletic writes. "... The Blue Jays, despite winning the AL pennant last year, are fighting to remain a playoff contender. Both could be awfully motivated to reel in Skubal after the season."

Fred Alger Management, an investment management company, released its "Alger Small Cap Focus Fund" second-quarter 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. U.S. equities experienced a strong recovery in Q2 2026, with the S&P 500 Index gaining 15.2%, marking its best quarter since 2020. A ceasefire between the United States and Iran and accelerated investment in artificial intelligence (AI) fueled market optimism in the quarter, driving the Information Technology and Industrials sectors forward while Energy and Utilities lagged due to falling oil and gas prices. In June, the Federal Reserve maintained steady interest rates, but the meeting had a hawkish tone. As AI transitions into its agentic phase, opportunities are identified within sectors adopting the technology. The Alger Small Cap Focus Fund's Class A shares outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index in the quarter, driven by strong performances in the Industrials and Health Care sectors, while Financials and Consumer Discretionary detracted from the performance. In addition, please check the Fund's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Alger Small Cap Focus Fund highlighted Forte Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:FBRX). Forte Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:FBRX), a US-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, detracted from the Fund's performance during the quarter. On July 20, 2026, Forte Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:FBRX) closed at $47.49 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $972.54 million. Forte Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:FBRX) posted a one-month return of 161.65%, while its shares gained 355.32% over the past 52 weeks.
Alger Small Cap Focus Fund stated the following regarding Forte Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:FBRX) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"Forte Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:FBRX) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing FB102, an anti-CD122 monoclonal antibody with potential application across a range of autoimmune conditions, including celiac disease, vitiligo, and alopecia areata. We view Forte favorably given the differentiated mechanism underlying FB102 and its potential applicability across multiple sizeable indications, supported by encouraging early celiac data and a series of meaningful clinical readouts anticipated through the balance of the year. Shares detracted from performance during the quarter, pressured by an equity raise whose limited initial disclosure was poorly received, as well as by growing investor impatience as anticipated vitiligo data extended beyond the previously communicated timeline. Despite a challenging quarter, we remain constructive ahead of the celiac readout expected later this year and cautiously optimistic on the forthcoming vitiligo results. We believe FB102 retains meaningful strategic value as its clinical profile comes into clearer focus."

In this series, we will look at established players — virtual locks to make this year's Kansas City Chiefs squad — with the most riding on the 2026 season.
On April 27, 2023, with the NFL Draft being held at Kansas City's Union Station, the Chiefs announced a selection that had the look of a generational feel-good story.
Coming off of a victory months earlier in Super Bowl LVII, team chairman Clark Hunt took the stage to announce the final selection in the first round. Kansas State edge rusher Felix Anudike-Uzomah — a Lee's Summit, Missouri, native who was actually in the hometown crowd that night — joined the Chiefs.
Three years later, unfortunately, the move has aged poorly.
Anudike-Uzomah was relegated to a rotational role over his first two seasons and delivered only three career sacks. He then missed his third season after a preseason hamstring injury a year ago.
