Ed Butowsky and Christopher Davis break down FedEx (FDX) earnings as the stock pops. Ed thinks their hedging strategies are being overlooked though they're a big part of the company's turnaround. However, he thinks it's overpriced and wouldn't buy at these levels. Christopher says FedEx is showing how AI is transforming industrials, and he highlights new leadership growing the healthcare part of the business. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

While this idea makes good sense, just how realistic is it for a small business CEO, especially a new one? While we'd otherwise like to be spending our time mostly on strategy, culture, and capital allocation, being sucked into the day-to-day whirlwind feels like an inevitable part of small business leadership – or is it?My guest today, Dr. Jim Schleckser, is the author of a book entitled Great CEOs Are Lazy, and is also the founder of The CEO Project, where he and his team work with hundreds of CEOs of high growth companies. I think you'll find that while Jim acknowledges that working in the business is an inevitable and acceptable part of a CEO's role at times, you'll also likely notice that Jim focuses a lot on leverage: That is, ways in which CEOs can generate the highest level of output through the fewest inputs, through things like purposeful hiring, delegation, and explicit rules around where to spend their time- and, importantly, where not to.

This episode comes directly from the Wednesday update that members inside the DTA community receive. In this update we discuss: Inflation just got more aggressive, and today's PPI report proves it. We break down the February 2026 Producer Price Index data, why a 48.9% spike in vegetable prices is more than a blip, and what Jerome Powell's careful word choice is really telling us about the state of the economy.In this episode:​Why PPI came in at 0.7% — more than double expectations — and what's driving it.​The "perfect storm" of weather, tariffs, and labor shortages is hitting food prices.​Powell's "pincer move" explanation and why he's refusing to use the word stagflation.​The 10-year Treasury yield is hitting 4.25% and why. ​Earnings breakdown: Micron's massive AI-driven beats the forecast. ​SPY and QQQ key levels — why the market is bearish but still highly tradeable.​The two catalysts that could flip the inflation narrative.

Tiffany McGhee covers the Fed's decision yesterday and its higher estimations for inflation this year. She says there were “no major surprises” as they signal “caution, not confidence,” and the main theme remains “uncertainty.” She shares some of her stock picks, including Exxon Mobil (XOM) and NextEra (NEE). She emphasizes the criteria of real assets and strong balance sheets. Tiffany also likes Microsoft (MSFT) but is selective within the tech sector. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Ron Westfall and Olivier Blanchard look through Alibaba (BABA) earnings, which missed estimates, and discuss the Chinese tech sector. Ron thinks the company is going through a “strategic pivot” and says the stock is becoming “increasingly attractive.” Their cloud intelligence division is “really delivering” and AI is booming; he notes its prebuilt customer base allows for fast adoption. Olivier agrees, adding that investors should remember these companies are in transition from e-commerce to AI and they are still “struggling to decouple” from their original revenue streams. He compares several Chinese tech companies and advises patience.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (BABA) is facing near‑term pressure after earnings showed margin strain, but Henry Greene says the market is mispricing the stock. He points to long‑term upside from Alibaba's cloud and full‑stack A.I. strategy, including the undervalued T‑Head semiconductor unit. Despite capital rotating away from large‑cap China tech, Greene argues fundamentals are improving as China's macro backdrop stabilizes.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Sim Tshabalala, CEO of Standard Bank Group, after the lender reported strong results for the 2025 financial year. The bank posted headline earnings of R49.2 billion, with earnings per share and dividends both rising 12%, while return on equity reached 19.3%, the top end of its target range. The performance was supported by solid balance sheet growth, stronger fee and trading income, and lower credit impairments, alongside continued expansion across its African operations and increasing digital adoption among customers. In other interviews, Sanisha Packirisamy, Chief Economist at Momentum Investments talks about the surge in global oil prices after fresh shipping attacks in the Middle East pushed Brent crude oil above $100 a barrel.

Robert Cantwell and Luke Yang break down Oracle (ORCL) earnings, with the stock up around 10% after the report. Robert estimates LLM revenue is around $50 billion total and heading quickly to $100 billion. However, Oracle is spending money faster than they're bringing it in, he notes, and he is suspicious around their expense reporting. He argues that CoreWeave (CRWV) is a “pure play” on what Oracle is trying to do. Luke is looking for more clarity on the financing and how it can ramp up its business. He also has concerns around customer concentration.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.
