Farm Machinery Manufacturers Facing Headwinds

Geopolitical instability in the Middle East is prompting investors to reassess the defense sector. Steven Wieting says much of the conflict-driven impact may already be priced in, noting strong gains in defense hardware alongside lagging cybersecurity performance. Garrett Smith argues that rising defense budgets and growing demand for drones can still raise challenges for legacy defense companies like Lockheed Martin (LMT), RTX Corp. (RTX), and General Dynamics (GD).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

After Nvidia (NVDA) dominated attention of the AI trade this week, George Tsilis turns to a stock that has fallen under many investors' radars: Supermicro (SMCI). As George notes, the company beat its most recent earnings but faces steepening competition against peers. The stock is cheap compared to the rest of the tech sector, though margins can cut into profits. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

This is all the people whose lives you've touched transmitting. Greg, if you copy, hold the frequency. It feels like absence, like space where a voice once was. Signals do not disappear. They continue. And what a person builds on air in wire in people does not simply stop. You never lived by the rule that comfort equals peace. You lived by the rule that comfort is the first thing to question. You believed headwinds are not personal. Crosswinds are not unfair. And lee winds — that sudden drop, that shaking frame — are not a sign to quit. They are a test of trim. You adjust. You steady. You climb. You believed complacency is the real danger. Not risk. Not boldness. Not standing out. Complacency. The quiet drift downward when we stop paying attention to lift. You believed connection matters. If you can reach someone reach them. Build the antenna. Make the call. Transmit while you can. You didn't just build antennas. You built reach. From Mobile One to a garage that hummed again because purpose does not retire, you proved that usefulness is not seasonal. If your hands still work build. If your mind still sparks design. If your voice still carries speak. Unapologetically. You believed fitting in is vastly overrated. So you didn't. You never entered quietly, not rooms, not conversations, not lives. Joy first. Volume second. Standing on your toes as if the ground were optional. You ruffled feathers. You challenged comfort. You made rooms adjust to you instead of shrinking to fit them. And yes not everyone understood you at first. But you never measured yourself by first impressions. You measured yourself by whether you were real. You believed people are more than the worst thing they've done. So you forgave early. You forgave often. You saw past the noise to the signal underneath. And that belief changed people. And made the world a better place You wrote poetry like you flew — direct, deliberate, aware. Warning of sleeping dragons. Warning of drift. Reminding us that lift is earned by those who stay awake. You believed joy is not indulgent. It is oxygen. That laughter is not noise. It is energy. That love is not soft. It is structural. And so very necessary in this world You believed life is not meant to be lived carefully around the edges. It is meant to be entered fully. Fully loud. Fully flawed. Fully alive. Unapologetically And here is what you leave us — Not just memory. Not just stories. A mandate; A way to live, A way to love, A way to give, That keeps your memory alive Do not live small. Do not lower your voice just because the room is timid. Do not mistake comfort for safety. When the air drops — trim. When the frame shakes — hold. When the rotor hits — climb. Headwinds are not personal. Crosswinds are not unfair. Lee winds will shake you. But lift is still there. Always there. If we pay attention. If we stay awake. If we refuse complacency. If we live wide instead of careful. If we love before we are certain. If we build something that reaches beyond us. If we forgive without score, If we give from our hearts when we can, If we transmit what matters, We too can make the world a better place. Then your signal does not fade. It strengthens. It is amplified. It hums in the way we show up. It hums in the way we speak truth. It hums in the way we stand taller, even when the air feels thin. And one day, when someone asks why we refused to shrink, why we dared to live louder, why we chose joy over fear — We will say: Because we knew a man who would not live half-life. A man who climbed when the air fell away. A man who taught us that lift is always there, if you're willing to rise into it. Explorer-hearted. Unfiltered flame. Generous spirit. Greg — you mattered. This is all the people whose lives you've touched here. Signal strong. Altitude rising. Bandwidth wide. We are not descending. We are climbing. We rise in lifting others. Final 7-3 VK4BBX, Clear.

Nvidia's (NVDA) downside price action off what Olivier Blanchard considers stellar is "odd," though he understands concerns on the Big Tech CapEx narrative. Additionally, he sees a lack of energy supply serving as another major headwind for Nvidia. Keith Gangl notes that Nvidia is cheap compared to its historic average, now trading at a P/E ratio in the 20s. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Team NEO 2025 Performance & Impact Annual ReportThe headline numbers from Team NEO's new 2025 jobs report include nearly 3,000 new jobs, more than $450 million in capital investments, and 92 business investments across Northeast Ohio. The report also highlights the rollout of the JobsOhio Relocation Incentive Program, which offers businesses up to $15,000 for making successful hires in certain industries, with a focus on STEM and technical roles. There's also the expansion of LayerZero, a manufacturer for power systems like data centers. The company is opening a new facility in Portage County that expects to create 535 new jobs. At the same time, new federal trade policies could affect Northeast Ohio's economic outlook. A 10% U.S. tariff on most global imports took effect Tuesday, despite President Donald Trump's earlier pledge to set the rate at 15%. And findings from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland say that tariffs are contributing to price increases across Ohio and parts of Pennsylvania, Kentucky and West Virginia. Manufacturers and retailers add that their products cost more to make, so consumers are paying more. On Thursday's the “Sound of Ideas,” Team NEO CEO Matt Dolan joins the program to discuss what the report's findings mean for Northeast Ohioans and the state economy. Guest:- Matt Dolan, CEO, Team NEO 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame NomineesLater in the hour, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees are here, and we'll discuss who made the cut. Of this year's 17 nominees, 10 are appearing on the ballot for the first time. Here are the nominees:- The Black Crowes- Jeff Buckley- Mariah Carey- Phil Collins- Melissa Etheridge- Lauryn Hill- Billy Idol- INXS- Iron Maiden- Joy Division/New Order- New Edition- Oasis- P!NK- Sade- Shakira- Luther Vandross- Wu-Tang Clan Guest:- Kabir Bhatia, Senior Arts Reporter, Ideastream Public Media ShuffleTo close the program, we'll hear a new installment of "Shuffle." Akron musician Brett Auerbach once drove 15 hours for a 30-minute gig. It was a gamble that helped launch his band, Rye Valley, onto national tours. This week, Ideastream Public Media's Amanda Rabinowitz talked with Auerbach about the journey, and how it led him to create a space for other songwriters in Northeast Ohio. Guests:- Amanda Rabinowitz, Host, Ideastream Public Media- Brett Auerbach, Musician, Rye Valley

Electric co-ops are grappling with rising costs, but members are in no mood for rate hikes. Load growth can help, but it's not without risks.

Raul Shah braves the snow and cold to join Morning Movers from the NYSE floor. He discusses Hims & Hers (HIMS) ahead of earnings. The company's faced multiple headwinds including legal issues from Novo Nordisk (NVO) and its sale of a semaglutide weight-loss product. Raul says the earnings call "will be crucial" for investors to get some clarity from the company's leaders and more insights on Hims & Hers next steps. Raul points to other markets like hormonal treatment as a potential growth area for HIMS. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

After Bitcoin tapped levels below $65,000 once again, Alex Miller with Stack Labs maintains a bullish thesis on a crypto comeback.

The ongoing efforts of the Trump Administration to walk back climate policy and clean energy development may be handing over the health of the US economy to our chief economic rival. China is outpacing US economic growth by supplying the world with the clean technologies vital today and in the future, including electric vehicles and critical minerals, while the Trump Administration tries to revive a dying coal industry. Also, onshore wind in the US is hitting a cliff, even in the most wind-powered state, Iowa, which generates about 2/3 of its electricity from wind. A combination of local opposition, anti-wind rhetoric and tax credit phaseouts has led to a steep decline in new wind projects. And the young hero of children's book Daisy Rewilds not only likes nature, but she also wants to become nature.

Mike and Luke talk about the sell off that occurred in the hog market, and the recent WASDE report.

In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Paul Glossop and Phil Tarrant discuss the economic forces shaping Australia's property market and what they mean for investors. Glossop outlines how unexpected inflation data has prompted the Reserve Bank of Australia to reconsider its rate path, fuelling speculation about future interest rate movements. The hosts note a divide among major banks: some forecast stability, while Westpac anticipates further hikes, adding to market uncertainty. Drawing on insights from Chris Joye of Coolabah Capital, the episode highlights how shifting economic data has challenged earlier forecasts and reinforced the need for investors to remain adaptable. The conversation also examines debates about persistent inflation, including criticisms that government spending and subsidies contribute to it. Glossop stresses that investors should focus on fundamentals and adopt disciplined strategies to navigate these headwinds. Potential policy changes, such as adjustments to the capital gains tax (CGT) discount, are flagged as risks that could dampen market liquidity by encouraging investors to hold properties longer. Despite these pressures, strong housing demand, structural undersupply, and strategic planning continue to support long-term opportunities for property investors.

Kevin Gordon with Charles Schwab says certain downward revisions in the nonfarm payrolls print is nothing to be concerned about.

On the international front, Michelle Gibley explains how a weaker U.S. dollar set the stage for outperformance in stocks outside the U.S. Following Japan's recent election, she urges investors to mind headwinds of balancing a strong yen to earnings. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Meghan Joyce calls Palantir's (PLTR) latest earnings an "inflection point" for the company. While the AI software giant's international sales remain weak, its 137% year-over-year commercial revenue growth is a metric Meghan believes can't be ignored. As for Christopher Davis, he agrees with positivity backing the growth outlook but remains cautious on Palantir under future presidential administrations. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Walt Disney (DIS) is a "story of patience," argues Stephen Kent. While the stock experienced a years-long consolidation, he sees the company making "money on autopilot" through its maturing streaming platform even as it faces the "YouTube question." Morningstar's Matt Dolgin adds that its experiences segment is doing great, though he warns of softness ahead as international visits slow. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Markets have delivered strong returns, but retirement planning is about more than a good run in stocks. In this episode of Safer Retirement Radio, Brad Geddes, CFP® joins Brian Decker to break down what today's retirees and near-retirees need to watch next—especially when you're transitioning from saving to spending. You'll hear a practical discussion on: Why strong markets can quietly encourage retirees to take more risk than they realize The “sequence of returns” problem: why a downturn early in retirement can do outsized damage Longevity and rising healthcare costs—and how to plan when you don't know what life will bring Inflation's long-term impact, including why sitting in too much cash can be costly over time The mindset shift from accumulation to distribution, and why income planning becomes the priority How to think about “pulling risk back” without “getting out of the market” Why flexibility and planning often matter more than predictions If you're within 5–7 years of retirement, recently retired, or wondering whether your current portfolio is built for income and resilience—this episode will help you think more clearly about the next phase.

American corn farmers are celebrating a historic achievement in the fields, even as they face a sobering reality at the bank. The National Corn Growers Association tells Mid-West Farm Report that the U.S. has produced a record-shattering 17.02 billion bushel corn crop, driven by an unprecedented yield of 186.5 bushels per acre. Despite this feat, the agricultural sector is grappling with a fourth consecutive year of negative returns. The surge in supply, while matched by record demand, has failed to lift market prices high enough to offset near-record input costs. "We've done the supply side work and that demand needs to be able to meet the moment," says Gretchen Kuck, an economist with the NCGA. "We have this corn, it’s really competitively priced and we have plenty of it, and we need demand solutions to make that demand and those market opportunities match the achievement that our farmers have come up with."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stewart Glickman notes that Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) are navigating a complex landscape of pricing headwinds and geopolitical volatility. He highlights that while year-over-year earnings have dipped, both companies beat fourth-quarter expectations through aggressive structural cost savings. Glickman points out that Exxon Mobil maintains a competitive edge over Chevron due to its superior balance sheet and larger stake in the Guyana project. Finally, he warns that potential supply disruptions in the Middle East could sideline millions of barrels, forcing a difficult balance between military objectives and surging crude prices.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

We always love a chance to hear from someone who's been investing in climate for a long time. Daniel Weiss fits the bill. His firm, Angeleno Group, was founded in 2001 and since then has led or co-led over $3 billion into clean energy and climate solutions. Daniel and the Angeleno Group also surround themselves with accomplished leaders that bring true global expertise. Their advisory board includes a former US Secretary of Energy, former Secretary of Treasury, UN Ambassador, Nobel Laureate, and several other top scholars and industry leaders.Lean in closely for this conversation and learn from Daniel's perspective. What we heard was somewhat surprising: that despite the headwinds coming from Washington and rippling around the world, strong deal flow, ever improving talent, and low valuations make this the best time in decades to invest in climate solutions. We spoke about Daniel's background, this unique moment in climate investing, Angeleno Group's thesis and recent investments, and much more. Lots to learn about and consider in this episode. Enjoy.

Year 2025 is in the rear view, just back there behind the trailer. With any luck at all, owner-operators are making good time outrunning all that happened during what was some kind of a momentous year in and around trucking. As my colleague Alex Lockie put it in his year-in-review last week just ahead of New Year celebrations, 2025 may well go down as the year when the you-know-what truly "hit the fan" in trucking: https://overdriveonline.com/15774734 Among surprises, though, was real engagement from regulators in response to longtime asks of small trucking. That's even as owner-operators' hopes for economic improvement at the beginning of 2025 with the second Trump administration went largely unrealized by the time the clock wound down on the year. Ongoing surveying of Overdrive readers shows a majority reporting income tracking along at levels either worse than or similar to those seen in the very-sluggish year 2024: https://overdriveonline.com/15774647 As of this writing, too, only just more than a third of readers are expecting 2026 to fare better on that score. Yet as this week's podcast makes clear, there are at least some reasons to be optimistic. The episode springs into 2026 with a look back at the 10 most-listened-to podcasts of 2025, near all providing trucking-market touchpoints in stories that continue to evolve, with impacts slowly developing. From the federal push for a non-domiciled CDL purge and boosted English-language proficiency enforcement to freight-rates impacts with negotiation tactics and interest-rate cuts and owners' increasingly sophisticated attention to business brass tacks, all could prove positive for owner-operator demand and bedrock income day-to-day, week-to-week as time marches on. Run back through the year with us in this week's episode, and find here a playlist featuring two honorable mentions for podcasts just outside the top 10, which start the playlist counting from No. 12 to the No. 1 most-listened-to episode of 2025.

He explains how their team centralizes regional data, builds commercial listing systems, and acts as a neutral connector to incentives, infrastructure, and workforce programs—without taking commissions—so companies can de-risk expansions and relocations. Tom shares case studies ranging from Odoo's tech expansion and Milk-Bone's reinvestment to Tesla's solar facility and large industrial site redevelopments on former steel mill land, highlighting the importance of shovel-ready sites and public–private collaboration. He also digs into cross-border Canadian investment, tariffs, and why developers and local businesses “pay to play” not for sweetheart deals, but to collectively grow jobs, investment, and the regional tax base.
