Goldman Sachs reported August credit-card performance showing mildly higher delinquencies but a sharper-than-expected decline in net charge-offs, along with above-seasonal loan growth. The bank said these trends leave card issuers on track to beat consensus loss estimates for the third quarter unless losses accelerate markedly in September.
Deutsche Bank moved Aena from sell to hold after Spain’s Council of Ministers approved a 0.33% annual tariff increase under the Dora III regulatory framework. The bank raised its price target to €24 from €20, citing eased regulatory risk and the implication that the allowed return on the regulatory asset base likely exceeds 8%. The decision follows…
Goldman Sachs has raised its dividend forecasts for the Euro Stoxx 50 to 194.7 for 2027 and 218.3 for 2028, about 6 index points higher than its May estimates. The firm cites stronger-than-expected dividend performance across regions, earnings upgrades driven by AI-capex beneficiaries - notably semiconductor firms - and a supportive sector mix in E…
UBS says the Swiss franc is under pressure because low domestic yields have widened the gap with other G10 currencies amid rising energy costs and expectations of further tightening from the ECB, Fed and BoE. The bank expects the SNB to hold in September and not to hike, which could allow EUR/CHF to retest 0.96 in the near term. Over the medium ter…
Oil futures climbed back above $108 per barrel after Saudi Arabia shut down its East-West pipeline, offsetting an earlier dip tied to reports of possible GCC-Iran talks and weaker demand forecasts. Citi analysts say near-term price support comes from the combination of geopolitical risk and steady physical demand, while available inventories and ex…
KeyBanc’s credit and debit card tracking indicates that year-over-year growth in spending per self-storage transaction slowed to 0.9% in August from July’s 2.3% pace. Average spend per transaction fell to $172.33 in August, a 1.4% decline from July, and the July-to-August change was the second-weakest in more than a decade of KeyBanc data.
Banco Santander S.A. ($SAN) is an actionable long here. The bank trades at a modest P/E of 11.5 and PB of 1.73 with a market cap of $219.6B, is close to its 52-week high, and continues to invest in digital transformation and regional growth. Recent announcements — notably an $800M Chile investment plan — and sector momentum give a clear re-rating p…
TISCO Securities moved its view on Thailand's electronic components sector from neutral to overweight, pointing to a brighter second half of 2026, clearer data-centre spending plans for 2027 and a recent pullback that it says has already priced in much of investor pessimism. The broker upgraded Delta Electronics Thailand and Hana Microelectronics t…
Piper Sandler recommended investors avoid heavy equity exposure after identifying deteriorating intermediate-term breadth and momentum. The firm highlighted sell readings in its 26-week and 40-week indicators, a rise in weekly downtrends versus uptrends, and uneven sector performance amid a spike in the U.S. 10-year yield and volatile oil prices.
Citi's latest survey finds that consumers plan to replace smartphones more frequently, with average holding periods shrinking to between 2.1 and 2.7 years from prior ranges of 2.9 to 4.3 years across regions. Demand for AI-capable devices is a key driver, lifting purchase consideration for Apple amid interest from older iPhone owners in Apple Intel…
CEA Industries has positioned itself as an unconventional BNB accumulator. The market currently treats the stock like a microcap shell, leaving an opportunity for a high-reward long trade if management proves the token stash and the market values those assets. This is a high-risk, event-driven trade best sized as a satellite position.
Global brokerage firms broadly expect the S&P 500 to continue its advance into 2026, citing AI-driven earnings growth and robust corporate results as the primary catalysts.

Sterling slipped as investors moved to price in a near-certain Federal Reserve rate rise and UK headline inflation ticked up in August. The dollar found broad support ahead of the Fed decision, while euro moves reflected a dollar-focused narrative rather than clear eurozone strength. Market attention centers on the incoming Fed action and its subse…
European wholesale natural gas contracts resumed gains on Wednesday, driven by low storage levels across the EU and renewed concern from ECB officials that rising gas and electricity costs are the primary inflation threat. The Dutch TTF front-month and Britain’s NBP contract both climbed, while traders factor in central bank rate moves and constrai…
Games Workshop shares rose after the company issued a trading update confirming results through August 30 were in line with the board’s expectations for the fiscal year and declared a £0.70 per share dividend, taking total dividends announced in fiscal 2027 to £3.

A central bank-commissioned quarterly survey found that South African inflation expectations stabilised in the third quarter after a sharp increase in the prior period linked to an oil price shock.

Secular growth in cable assemblies, coaxial and in-mold electronics tied to data centers, 5G and electrified vehicles supports upside. Enter at $201.35, stop at $189.50, target $230.00 over th…
Tecnicas Reunidas shares rose sharply after the company’s board authorized a share buyback of roughly 2.5% of capital for up to €50 million. The stock reclaimed a key technical level and recent company results and balance sheet improvements have removed long-standing investor overhangs, supporting the move.
Tencent Music (TME) looks priced for a much worse outcome than current fundamentals and cash flows justify. The stock is trading near its 52-week low after a long selloff, but revenue growth, paying-user gains and a generous dividend argue for a mean-reversion setup. This is a mid-term swing trade: buy into weakness with a tight stop and a realisti…

The reports indicate Société Générale agreed earlier this month to acquire the stake but wil…
BKV Corporation's integrated footprint - upstream gas, midstream gathering/processing, power generation and early CCUS assets - gives the company recurring cash flow and optional upside from decarbonization projects. Valuation is reasonable at roughly $2.67B market cap, a P/E around 9.8 and P/B near 1.16, while improving production and rising capex…
