While the market chases AI stocks and IPOs at 90x sales, Simon Erickson is looking in the opposite direction, at CME Group (NASDAQ:CME), the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, a business that doesn't care if markets go up or down. It just needs them to move. CME Group sits at the center of global derivatives trading across six asset classes, interest rates, equity indexes, foreign exchange, energy, agriculture, and metals, capturing the bid-ask spread on every contract that clears through its platform. Q1 2026 delivered all-time records in both revenue (up 14% to nearly $2 billion) and average daily volume (36.2 million contracts/day, up 22%), with record volumes across all six product lines simultaneously.0:00 - Introduction and Overview of CME Group as a business3:31 - Review of CME's six product classes 6:41 - Review of Q1 2026 Results (from our 7investing Community Forum)8:42 - Why Kevin Warsh as the new Fed Chair will be important for CME Group10:48 - New Retail product lines: Crypto, e-mini futures, and even compute pricing14:18 - A look at CME Group's current valuation and why the stock has been selling off16:19 - Why we recently upgraded CME Group to a "Strong Buy" conviction rating 18:32 - Q&A with audience questions + a review of CME Group's capital allocation policiesThe business model is exceptional: near-zero variable costs as volumes scale, massive network effects, and a 70% operating margin in Q1 2026, up 250 basis points year over year. With geopolitical uncertainty (Iran oil prices, Russia/Eastern Europe conflict, China tariff tensions) and a brand new Federal Reserve Chairman in Kevin Walsh navigating rate policy, Simon believes 2026 and 2027 will bring more volatility, not less. That's directly in CME Group's favor. The company is also launching new products including Bitcoin volatility futures, e-mini S&P 500 and NASDAQ options at one-tenth standard contract size (opening the door to retail investors), and a first-of-its-kind AI compute futures product in partnership with Silicon Data Partner.CME Group is also returning serious capital to shareholders: a longstanding variable dividend policy that pays out 50% of annual earnings, plus a $3 billion share repurchase authorization, $500 million of which was deployed just last quarter, with $2.5 billion still available. CEO Terry Duffy is transitioning out after a decade at the helm, handing off to 20-year company veteran Lynn Fitzpatrick (currently President and CFO), in what Simon views as seamless succession planning. This is a company that knows exactly what it is and executes flawlessly.7investing upgraded CME Group to strong buy conviction in November 2024, the stock returned 51% by March 2026, nearly tripling the S&P 500 return over the same period. They've just upgraded it to strong buy again in June 2026. The stock has pulled back significantly from its March highs, and valuation multiples on price-to-earnings, price-to-sales, and price-to-free-cash-flow are all at five-year lows. If you want a stock that hedges against market chaos rather than suffering through it, CME Group is worth a serious look.Discuss CME Group with us in our 7investing Community Forum! https://discord.com/invite/PT9ZQqdXXSStocks & Companies Mentioned:CME Group (NASDAQ:CME)Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) — teased for upcoming Friday episodeKalshi — private (prediction markets competitor)FMX Exchange — private (interest rate futures competitor)FanDuel — private (CME prediction markets partner)Silicon Data Partner — private (CME compute futures partner)#CMEGroup #CME #StockAnalysis #ValueInvesting #DividendStocks #HiddenGems #MarketVolatility #DerivativesTrading #InterestRates #Bitcoin #CryptoFutures #InvestingIn2026 #UndervaluedStocks #GrowthStocks #7investing #Simonerickson

Recorded live at the Retail Technology Show at ExCeL London in partnership with TNS. Host Graham Barrett speaks with leaders from across retail, hospitality and technology to explore the pressures shaping store operations, payments, fulfilment and customer experience in 2026. 1/ Jon Cole, Director of Product and Technical Solutions, TNS 2/ Shazmeen Malik, Partner Brands and Flexible Fulfilment Director, ASOS 3/ Martin Ward, Head of Software UK&I, Toshiba 4/ Gemma Edlin, Retail Director, Company Shop Group 5/ Richard Lewis, Group Chief Executive Officer, RedCat Hospitality 6/ Meriel Neighbour, Director of Technology Delivery and Transformation, River Island The episode opens with Jon Cole, Director of Product and Technical Solutions at TNS, who discusses the surge in retailer focus on resilience and cybersecurity and why hybrid cloud/on‑premise architectures are becoming essential. Next, Shazmeen Malik, Partner Brands & Flexible Fulfilment Director at ASOS, dives into the art of marketplace curation. She explains how ASOS balances global brands with emerging labels, why 20% of its branded portfolio is now newly onboarded, and how flexible fulfilment models, from partner fulfilment to ASOS Fulfilment Services, enable scale without compromising customer experience. Shazmeen also shares how ASOS is using AI for personalisation, outfitting and virtual try‑on, describing it as “super exciting” for discovery‑led shopping. We then hear from Martin Ward, Head of Software UK&I at Toshiba, who explores why retail transformations fail when they prioritise technology over people. He reflects on Toshiba's work with Matalan, the importance of involving store colleagues early, and why retailers must “test and learn and fail fast” to drive meaningful change. Martin also offers a grounded view on Agentic AI, its potential, its risks, and why adoption must be purposeful rather than hype‑driven. Next, Gemma Edlin, newly appointed Retail Director at Company Shop Group, explains how the UK's largest surplus supermarket prevents waste at scale, redistributing products from over 800 brands and stopping 47,000 tonnes of waste last year alone. She discusses dynamic pricing, robotics in the warehouse, and how AI could help set “the right price first time” to balance commercial viability with affordability and trust. Richard Lewis, Group CEO of RedCat Hospitality, shares a hospitality perspective on loyalty and digital micro‑donations. He emphasises that loyalty begins with consistently great experiences: “customers don't give you praise for getting the basics right, but when you get it wrong, they tell you”. He explores how data, communication and digital engagement can drive frequency across pubs and hotels. Finally, Meriel Neighbour, Director of Technology Delivery and Transformation, River Island closes the episode with a fashion retail perspective, sharing how a major high‑street brand is thinking about modern store operations, digital enablement and the evolving role of the physical store in a technology‑rich, customer‑driven world. A rich, fast‑paced episode capturing the realities of modern retail and hospitality, from cybersecurity and payments infrastructure to marketplace strategy, store transformation, waste reduction and customer loyalty.

The long waves of efficiency are over. If your brand waits 18 months to pivot, you have already lost the margin. Jason O'Toole, Head of Connected Commerce & Media at Gildan, and guest host Spencer Lian-Thornton, VP Growth & Partnership of Mindgruve, discuss why the "Fail Fast" culture is now a requirement for survival. INSIDE THE EPISODE: - The ROAS Trap: Why high returns often hide cannibalization and how Gildan focuses on incremental growth instead. - Test and Learn: Placing experimentation at the center of the operating model to find the 3% of initiatives that actually scale. - The Final Differentiator: As AI automates the grunt work of reporting, strategy becomes the only competitive moat left. Stop managing channels. Start managing the consumer footprint. Watch the full episode here.

Shoppers are about to outsource the hunt. That's the spark for a candid conversation with Chase Binnie, CEO of RetailWire, on how AI agents, retail media, and marketplaces are rewriting the rules of discovery and growth across the retail ecosystem.We dig into what happens when search turns into advice and agents make choices for us. Chase lays out why AI adoption is already table stakes, but the real edge comes from what you do with the time and money saved. Auto‑generated creative and product pages will soon be everywhere, which shifts advantage to purpose, positioning, and message clarity. We talk practical steps for becoming “agent‑discoverable,” from enriching product detail pages with usage occasions and outcomes to structuring data so LLMs can match intent to inventory without friction. If you've wondered how to win when feeds are flooded by synthetic content, this is your playbook.Retail media's high margins take center stage as retailers morph into platforms and push beyond transactions into daily rituals, apps, and connected experiences. We unpack incrementality, cannibalization, and how suppliers can use marketplaces as a low‑risk proving ground before scaling into stores. Chase also challenges the hype cycle with a grounded reminder: stores still command the majority of sales, and rising digital costs are sending brands back to brick‑and‑mortar for better unit economics. Personalization has a limit, and human leadership; clear expectations, culture across generations, and trust at the shelf, remains the differentiator.You'll leave with a sharper lens on agentic commerce, LLM‑era SEO, PDP enrichment, retail media strategy, and a pragmatic test‑and‑learn path that de‑risks scale. If discovery is shifting to AI, empathy is now a core strategy. Subscribe, share this episode with a teammate who owns PDPs or retail media, and leave a review with the one change you'll make this quarter.

Gregg also breaks down shifting generational influence, from the spending power of Boomers and Gen X to the rising impact of Gen Alpha, and what this means for future retail formats and experiences. The conversation wraps with a look at the “new retail math,” where market-level impact and brand influence are becoming more valuable than traditional KPIs. Listen to the full podcast below or on the following platform links: Spotify, Podcasters, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Google Podcasts and Amazon.

How is the next generation redefining what it means to shop, connect, and co-create in physical spaces?Grab a pen and get ready to take some notes because Melissa Gonzalez and her firm, MG2 Advisory, have cracked the Gen-Z code through groundbreaking new research. But make no mistake, this isn't more one-size-fits all data about a large, and highly nuanced, cohort. This is granular research that unpacks the social, behavioral, and psychological forces impacting how different Gen Z personas shop. This week, we're learning how brands can leverage powerful tools that Gen Z is already wielding to level up their physical retail experiences: nostalgia, authenticity, sustainability, and co-creation. Listen now to get Melissa's data-driven blueprint for designing meaningful brand experiences. Multiplayer This, Co-Creator ThatKey takeaways:Values vs. Value Tension: 94% of Gen Z shops with values in mind (authenticity, transparency, humility, sustainability), but economics still drive final decisionsCo-Creation Imperative: Three out of four Gen Z consumers want to be collaborators in the brand journey, extending beyond product customization to store design, layout, and programmingNostalgia as Currency: Y2K and 2000s aesthetics dominate Gen Z's desire for nostalgic comfort, with apparel and fashion brands leading the charge through vintage-inspired experiences and activationsTechnology Extends Instinct: Successful retail tech either reduces friction through operational efficiency or creates deeper immersion. Anything in between feels like novelty and lacks authenticity[00:09:15] "The reason why it doesn't always win their wallet share is because economics still matter. But if there's a great desire for it... if a brand or retailer can get it right and enable it, there's a big opportunity there because they're helping consumers live those aspirational values." – Melissa[00:14:59] "Three out of four... want to be co-creators and collaborators in the brand journey. Store design, product customization... but you don't see it often in store design, I think... there's a real opportunity because you're getting validation buy in." – Melissa[00:28:30] "You have to have a team... you have to always understand the zeitgeist and how generations are evolving... because it's not a one-size-fits-all answer that's going to remain static." – Melissa[00:38:36] "What about it is going to feel more ethereal and more immersive... What are you giving people? Why are they getting out of their house? Why are they getting out of their phone? Why do they feel like they have to engage with this physical experience?" – MelissaIn-Show Mentions:New 2025 Gen Z ResearchOur Upcoming Webinar with MG2 AdvisoryThe Pop-Up Paradigm bookRetail Refined podcastMG2 AdvisoryAssociated Links:Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Today's show is the second in a mini-series on the changing face of business. On Friday's show we talked about how Google is keeping search traffic on the Google platform and is not sending organic search results to the source pages in the way it used to. Traffic to businesses is dramatically reduced. This will cause many businesses who relied largely upon organic search to either adapt to whatever will replace organic search, or they will face bankruptcy. This is also going to affect every aspect of retail. So much has been written about the retail apocalypse. There is no question that the footprint of traditional retail is changing. There is much less diversity in shopping experience today than when I was a teenager. In the US we had numerous department store chains including Bloomingdales, Macy's Sears, Kmart, Bergdorf Goodman, Filenes, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, JC Penny, Walmart Target Montgomery Ward, Ames, and countless others. Today, only a small fraction of those remain. We are all familiar with the e-commerce revolution and how Amazon and Walmart are increasingly dominating this space. Even major retailers including Home Depot and Best Buy have a larger online catalog with products that are only a couple of days away from your home. But the new revolution is in a form of shopping called social shopping. This has been in existence in China for more than 8 years and is still in experimental stages in the US on a limited basis with specific platforms. So what is social shopping?  It is a method of e-commerce that integrates the social aspects of human interaction into the online shopping experience. It leverages social media platforms and online communities to facilitate the discovery, research, sharing, and purchasing of products and services. Think influencers. Think buying events. -----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Last week, Alibaba announced that Hou Yi, the founder of the Hema (or 'Freshippo') retail chain, will retire as CEO, to be replaced by CFO Yan Xiaolei. What does this mean for Hema?   Hema, positioned as premium retail, reflected Alibaba's anticipation that consumers would become more affluent and upgrade their consumption habits.
