Taylor Brownstein, Director, Technology Investment Banking, TD Cowen joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how Wall Street is funding the autonomy economy.The autonomous vehicle and truck markets are currently experiencing a healthy rebound from the 2021 to 2023 hype cycle, driven by real commercialization, the Physical AI tailwind, and a more disciplined investor base that is now focusing on companies that are growing businesses focused on commercialization, not just technology.Capital is king. Over the next 18 months or so, the autonomy markets are expected to consolidate as companies that are unable to raise capital, retain and hire talent will fall further behind, as their competitors continue to raise capital that accelerates their growth.In this market, dual use is one of the most compelling opportunities as the Department of War actively embraces automation and autonomy. But at the end of the day, no matter what it all comes down to the economics of the business.Then there are the public markets. The SPAC window is currently open for companies with paying customers and the potential for long-term growth.While the traditional IPO path remains largely closed to pre-revenue/early-stage autonomy companies as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic absorb all the air in the room, making SPACs paired with PIPE capital the most realistic route to the public markets for the next wave of autonomous vehicle and truck companies at this time.Episode Chapters0:00 AUTNMY AI0:37 Autonomy is Back in Vogue4:11 Unit Economics9:51 Dual-Use Applications22:24 Consolidation29:22 The Robotaxi Competitors: Waymo and Tesla42:38 SPACs with PIPE Capital45:05 Traditional IPOs50:55 Market Signals --------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

Our guest on this week's episode is Christelle Keefer, director of training and certifications at The Association for Advancing Automation (A3).  As labor becomes harder to find for our distribution and manufacturing facilities, companies are turning more and more to automation. This is National Robotics Week  - when the industry celebrates the impacts that these mechanical workers are making on our operations. Our guest speaks with Senior Editor Ben Ames about gaps that still remain when deploying robots to work with human workers.New information from the International Federation of Robotics, or IFR, illustrates just how prevalent robots are becoming in factories and industrial settings around the world. The group released its World Robotics 2025 report this week, which outlines the number of factory robots being used in various regions as compared to the local manufacturing workforce. TD Cowen, a banking and investment analysis firm, shared the results of their quarterly “1Q26 TD Cowen Carrier Survey” this week. It showed that a lot of the companies that operate trucking fleets are looking increasingly to technology for answers, and specifically AI. The survey found that 26% of trucking carriers would be willing to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools entirely instead of relying on human freight brokers. What might this mean for the freight broker industry?Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:The Association for Advancing Automation (A3)Report: robot density surges in Europe, Asia, and the AmericasTD Cowen: 26% of carriers would use AI instead of freight brokers?Visit DC VelocityVisit Supply Chain XchangeListen to CSCMP and Supply Chain Xchange's Supply Chain in the Fast Lane podcastSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@agilebme.comThis podcast episode is sponsored by: Werner

March 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks. Includes an article with a terrific ranking of companies by their ethical standards. By Ron Robins, MBA Transcript & Links, Episode 165, March 27, 2026 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to my podcast episode 165, published on March 27, 2026, titled "March 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks." This podcast is presented by Investing for the Soul. Investingforthesoul.com is your go-to site for vital global, ethical, and sustainable investing mentoring, news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript and links to content, including stock symbols and bonus material, on this episode's podcast page at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. I have a great crop of 18 articles for you in this podcast! Note: Some companies are covered more than once. Now with so many articles to potentially cover, I've chosen 3 to quote from. The other 15 can be found on the webpage for this podcast edition, along with their titles and links. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Best 3 Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy and Hold for Decades from fool.com In this episode, I begin with an article on an investment sector at the core of most ethical and sustainable investors' portfolios: renewable energy. The article's title is The Best 3 Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy and Hold for Decades from fool.com. It's by Reuben Gregg Brewer. Here are some quotes on each of his picks. "1) Brookfield Renewable is 100% clean (BEP)(BEPC) Brookfield Renewable has exposure to hydroelectric, solar, wind, battery storage, and nuclear power… The assets… are spread across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. If you are looking for a simple way to participate in the shift toward clean energy, Brookfield Renewable is a good choice… The one wrinkle is that you can buy Brookfield Renewable in two different ways. The partnership share class offers a distribution yield of 5.2% while the corporate share class has a dividend yield of 3.8%. They represent the same business and have the same dividend payment; the difference is that the corporate shares are in higher demand among institutional investors. Small investors should feel comfortable with the partnership. 2) NextEra Energy is a giant in two businesses (NEE) NextEra Energy operates one of the largest regulated electric utilities in the United States. That is the foundation on which it has built one of the largest solar and wind power businesses in the world. This combination has led to 11% annualized dividend growth over the past decade. Half that rate of dividend growth would be considered good for a utility. NextEra Energy's dividend yield is 2.7%, which is actually above the utility average of nearly 2.5%... That said, management is calling for dividend growth to slow to a still very healthy 6% in 2027 and 2028. 3) TotalEnergies mixes the old with the new (TTE) TotalEnergies will be the hardest sell as a clean energy investment because it is an integrated energy giant. That means that it is a vertically integrated oil and natural gas business. If you only want clean energy, you probably won't want to buy TotalEnergies." End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 11 Best Ethical Companies to Invest In Now According to Reddit from insidermonkey.com My second article has some unusual investing options for many investors coming to my podcasts. It's titled 11 Best Ethical Companies to Invest In Now According to Reddit from insidermonkey.com and is by Noor Ul Ain Rehman. Here are some quotes from the article. "We first sifted through relevant threads on Reddit to compile a list of the best ethical companies and then selected the top 11 that were the most popular among elite hedge funds as of Q3 2025.

The Hershey Company (NYSE:HSY) Morgan Stanley lifted the price target on The Hershey Company to $247 from $238 on March 16, maintaining an Overweight rating on the shares.

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (NASDAQ:CTSH) On March 16, Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation announced the launch of Cognizant AI Factory, which is a multi-tenant, enterprise-grade offering powered by Dell Technologies (DELL) and NVIDIA AI (NVDA) infrastructure and software platform.

Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NASDAQ:KMB) Piper Sandler cut the price target on Kimberly-Clark to $114 from $133 on March 13 and maintained an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm told investors that the company's Q1 top-line momentum is tracking in line with what it had expected, with costs hedged roughly nine months out, securing roughly the balance of 2026. However, Piper also stated that if increased oil costs persist, there could be a risk to the outlook for 2027… Kimberly-Clark sells its products under various brands, including Kleenex, Scott, Cottonelle, DryNites, Huggies, and others. 8. Ecolab Inc. (NYSE:ECL) March 16, Ecolab was upgraded to Buy from Hold by Berenberg, with the firm adjusting the price target on the stock to $326 from $300. Berenberg told investors in a research note that (Ecolab) will raise prices across all products, services, and geographies by 10%-14%, adding that it anticipates the price increases to be implemented swiftly and become a 'sticky component of Ecolab's structural pricing, rather than being rolled back'. The firm views Ecolab as a net inflation beneficiary… Ecolab offers hygiene, water, and infection prevention solutions and services. 7.

Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN) TD Cowen cut the price target on Accenture to $275 from $282 on March 16, maintaining a Buy rating on the shares.

Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) March 16, Salesforce, announced the commencement of the prepayment and initial delivery of around 103 million shares under its previously announced $25 billion accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements.

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) On March 16, TD Cowen lifted the price target on Micron Technology, to $500 from $450 and maintained a Buy rating on the shares. The firm told investors that it updated its model ahead of the company's fiscal Q2 earnings, where a strong beat is expected. TD Cowen also said that while it continues to see upside to the buy-side view even after earnings, the majority of the long-term stock returns could be driven by re-rating… Micron Technology, provides innovative memory and storage solutions. 2. Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) Eli Lilly was downgraded to Reduce from Hold by HSBC on March 17, with the firm bringing the price target on the stock down to $850 from $1,070. The firm told investors in a research note that it believes expectations for the total addressable market for obesity are elevated at over $150 billion, and the market is likely to be in the range of $80 billion -$120 billion by 2032, with price competition 'likely to be significant'.

The Trump administration’s bold policy announcements are creating significant investment opportunities across defense contractors, mortgage markets, and technology sectors. For investors thinking about retirement or already in retirement, understanding these market shifts is essential for protecting and growing your portfolio. Tom Dupree, Mike Johnson, and James Dupree from Dupree Financial Group break down how these policy changes affect retirement planning strategies and what it means for your investment portfolio. Defense Spending Surge Creates Investment Opportunities The Trump administration’s announcement to increase defense spending from $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion—a 50% increase—sent shockwaves through defense contractor stocks. While initial announcements about dividend and buyback restrictions caused share prices to drop 5-7%, the spending increase announcement triggered a strong rally the following day. Key Defense Investment Insights: Defense infrastructure has been underinvested for decades on a global basis Small-cap defense contractors like Credos Defense offer unique positioning with no direct competitors The company trades at an 800 price-to-earnings ratio due to its exclusive government contract capabilities Credos builds hardware for rockets, drones, and defense systems through two segments: Credos Government and Credos Unmanned Systems As Mike Johnson explained, “The whole industry, the complex had been underinvested for decades. Different laws and regulations had been passed, allocating capital to other areas. It was basically left in shambles.” The Commandant of the Marines confirmed on Fox News that current U.S. naval capacity has declined from 600 ships during the Reagan years to just over 300 ships today, highlighting the critical need for defense modernization. Mortgage Rate Policies Benefit Real Estate Investments Trump’s directive for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to purchase $200 billion in mortgage bonds represents a strategic move to lower mortgage rates and free up the housing market. This policy, likely advised by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, is already showing results. Mortgage Market Developments: 30-year mortgage rates touched 5% (down from over 6%) TD Cowen analysts project rates reaching 5.25% by year-end The policy artificially narrows the spread between mortgage bonds and Treasury yields Institutional investors may be restricted from purchasing residential properties Tom Dupree emphasized the administration’s unprecedented focus: “You don’t see an administration come out and talk about spreads between mortgage bonds and treasuries. This one’s doing it because of Scott Bessent.” For retirement investors, Dupree Financial Group holds mortgage REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) that benefit directly from these policy changes. These companies own large portfolios of mortgage bonds with leverage, generating dividend yields in the teens while experiencing significant price appreciation as spreads tighten. AI Sector Volatility Requires Strategic Positioning The artificial intelligence sector continues to demonstrate extreme volatility, with some stocks dropping 50-60% from recent highs while others surge dramatically. Applied Digital, a company held in Dupree portfolios, recently reported earnings that exceeded expectations by 54% (actual revenue: $126 million vs. expected $82 million). AI Investment Realities: SanDisk Corp became the largest S&P gainer in 2025, up 585% Applied Digital eliminated losses, reporting zero EPS versus the expected 11-cent loss Oracle dropped 40% despite being a mega-cap company The equal-weight S&P 500 outperformed the market-cap-weighted index by over 1% in a single day James Dupree noted about Applied Digital: “They absolutely blew out their earnings. Expected revenue was supposed to be around 82 million, and they ended up reporting 126 million.” This volatility underscores the importance of personalized portfolio management that balances growth opportunities with income-producing investments. Market Breadth Signals Healthy Rally Expansion The broadening of the market rally beyond the “Magnificent Seven” technology stocks represents a significant shift. On one recent trading day, the S&P 500 was flat while the equal-weight S&P 500 gained 1%—a substantial discrepancy indicating money flowing into financials, energy, and mid-cap stocks. Market Breadth Indicators: Small-Cap Russell Index is up approximately 5% over five trading days Both momentum stocks (best performers) and deeply oversold stocks (worst performers) led 2025 gains The healthcare sector is attracting renewed investment flows Mid-cap AI companies ($2-10 billion market cap) are trading as their own distinct sector Mike Johnson observed, “You don’t typically see the two ends of the spectrum be the best performers in a year. The ones that were above their 200-day moving average were the leaders, the ones that were well under their 200-day moving average came in close second.” Bear Market Preparation During Bull Markets Despite strong market performance, the Dupree Financial Group team emphasizes the importance of preparing for inevitable market downturns. The firm maintains strategic cash positions and focuses on dividend-paying stocks to provide income during market volatility. Bear Market Protection Strategies: Maintain cash reserves to buy quality stocks at lower valuations Focus on dividend-paying companies for consistent income during downturns Take profits strategically even in bull markets Avoid forced selling by maintaining adequate liquidity Tom Dupree reflected on historical perspective: “I remember the market going down 500 points in one day in 1987, which was 22%. That would be about 11,000 points on the Dow today.” The team emphasizes that separately managed accounts of individual stocks and bonds provide greater flexibility than mutual funds during market stress, allowing tactical adjustments based on each client’s specific income needs. Income Generation for Retirement Investors For investors ages 50 and above, the combination of growth and income remains essential. Dupree Financial Group’s approach focuses on dividend-paying stocks that provide cash flow even during market downturns, supplemented by strategic growth positions in sectors like AI and defense. Dividend Strategy Benefits: Provides income without selling principal during bear markets Reduces sequence-of-returns risk for retirees Creates compounding opportunities through dividend reinvestment Offers inflation protection through dividend growth Tom Dupree emphasized their client focus: “We manage money for people who are typically retirement investors who need both growth and dividends. It’s a lot more fun to talk about growth when things are growing, but we also like dividends and we like to have the certainty of the income, or not certainty, but probability of the income that dividends provide.” The firm’s approach recognizes that while dividend cuts can occur during severe recessions (as seen in 2008-2009), a well-diversified portfolio of quality dividend payers provides more stability than growth-only strategies. Frequently Asked Questions How do Trump’s defense spending policies affect retirement portfolios? The 50% increase in defense spending creates opportunities in defense contractor stocks, particularly smaller companies with unique capabilities. However, investors should understand these positions as growth components within a balanced portfolio that also includes income-producing investments. What impact will lower mortgage rates have on investment portfolios? Lower mortgage rates benefit mortgage REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) that own portfolios of mortgage bonds. As rates decline and spreads tighten, these investments experience both price appreciation and high dividend yields, making them attractive for retirement income strategies. Is the AI sector too volatile for retirement investors? AI sector volatility requires careful position sizing and risk management. Applied Digital and similar companies can offer significant growth potential, but should represent only a portion of a diversified portfolio that emphasizes income-producing investments for retirement security. How should retirees prepare for the next bear market? Preparation includes maintaining cash reserves for opportunistic buying, focusing on dividend-paying stocks for income continuity, and working with advisors who actively manage portfolios rather than passive buy-and-hold strategies. Strategic profit-taking during bull markets creates flexibility during downturns. What advantages do separately managed accounts offer over mutual funds? Separately managed accounts provide direct ownership of individual stocks and bonds, allowing customized portfolios tailored to specific income needs, tax situations, and risk tolerances. Unlike mutual funds, you can see exactly what you own and make tactical adjustments during market volatility. Take Control of Your Retirement Investment Strategy The current market environment presents both opportunities and risks for retirement investors. Trump administration policies are reshaping defense, housing, and technology sectors while removing artificial market distortions. Understanding these changes and positioning your portfolio accordingly requires experience in both retirement planning and active portfolio management. At Dupree Financial Group, we specialize in creating personalized investment strategies for investors aged 50 and above who need both growth and income. Our separately managed accounts provide direct access to portfolio managers—not assigned counselors—and transparent communication about exactly what you own.

Are we approaching a paradigm shift…where the conversation elevates from “quantity” to “quality” of weight loss? And if true…what could that mean for “muscle health” CPG products, which have benefitted greatly from the current GLP-1 market dynamics? The first wave of GLP-1 receptor agonists, which I'm dubbing the “quantity” paradigm, has been nothing short of revolutionary…with Wegovy Ozempic and Zepbound Mounjaro demonstrating significant weight loss, often exceeding reported data from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly clinical trials respectively. This unprecedented efficacy fueled a massive surge in demand and Morgan Stanley projects annual GLP-1 sales will soon become the biggest drug class in history. However, the initial conversation was dominated by how much weight could be (and how quickly it was) lost. Therefore, as these medications became more widely used…critical concern emerged surrounding how a significant portion of the lost weight was not just fat but also valuable lean body mass. But this concern has catalyzed the move toward a next wave in the GLP-1 market, which I'm dubbing the “quality” paradigm…where the focus is on what kind of weight is being lost. Recognizing that health is about more than just a number on a scale, the shifted goal would now be (still) maximizing fat mass reduction but while simultaneously preserving, or even enhancing, lean mass. Also, the “quality” paradigm emphasizes an integrated approach to weight management…as patients seek outcomes that support an active, healthy lifestyle. Accordingly, many CPG companies (explicitly those positioned across the intersecting categories of food, beverage, and dietary supplements) have progressively adapted to support the specific nutritional needs of individuals prescribed GLP-1 medications. In fact, my introductory statement referred to how these GLP-1 market dynamics have been beneficial to certain CPG products (particularly ones aiding in “muscle health”). Also, just to clarify my definition of “muscle health” CPG products that are benefitting greatly from current GLP-1 market dynamics…I'm mainly talking about protein (the tried-and-true nutritional cornerstone of building muscle), but also creatine (a natural fuel source for muscles) and HMB (that helps protect muscle mass). Though, if we want to fully understand any potential “muscle health” CPG categorical impacts stemming from next-gen pharmaceutical innovation aimed at improving long-term metabolic health and functional outcomes. According to analysts at TD Cowen, combination treatments designed to help individuals preserve muscle while losing weight with popular GLP-1 drugs by Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly could generate more than $30 billion in sales by 2035. And maybe the most closely watched mid-stage drug trials have revolved around bimagrumab, which is a muscle-preserving drug that was part of an almost $2 billion Eli Lilly acquisition from mid-2023. Regardless of possible regulatory challenges still remaining, my strong conviction centers around eating less (with the help of current GLP-1 medications) can only do so much to better your health…thus “weight loss while maintaining muscle mass” is far too important for long-term health outcomes. Accordingly, these will become the next holy grail of obesity treatment (as we move closer to the 2030s). And if that prediction is directionally correct (which I believe is highly probable), it means eating/drinking culture will be reshaped further, accelerating a pivot toward nutrient density and functional benefits!

George Tsilis jumps on to Opening Bell to look at Autodesk's (ADSK) premarket surge after earnings. The company's CEO says long-term growth is due to steady A.I. demand, prompting the company to raise its revenue outlook. Meanwhile, Workday (WDAY) shares were going the opposite direction after it topped earnings estimates in its 3Q report. George points to several analyst moves including multiple price target cuts from Stifel, RBC, Bernstein and TD Cowen. ======== 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 – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Die Wall Street startet mit Rückenwind in die neue Woche – die Aktienfutures von Dow, S&P 500 und Nasdaq liegen allesamt im Plus. Anleger blicken gespannt auf eine vollgepackte Woche mit frischen Quartalszahlen von Netflix, Tesla, Coca-Cola und Intel sowie auf den Inflationsbericht am Freitag, der entscheidend für den nächsten Fed-Schritt sein dürfte. Rückenwind gibt es auch von der politischen Seite: Laut Wall Street Journal will Präsident Donald Trump zahlreiche Produkte von den gegenseitigen Strafzöllen mit China ausnehmen. Das weckt Hoffnungen auf eine Entspannung im Handelskonflikt vor dem geplanten Treffen mit Xi Jinping Ende des Monats. Finanzminister Scott Bessent sieht die Lage ohnehin „spürbar beruhigt“. Nach der turbulenten Vorwoche mit Sorgen um Regionalbanken und geopolitische Risiken bleibt die Stimmung robust. Der VIX-Index fiel deutlich auf etwa 20 Punkte zurück – ein Zeichen für nachlassende Nervosität. Anleger hoffen zudem auf eine weitere Zinssenkung der Fed um 0,25 Prozentpunkte Ende Oktober. Derweil beobachten die Märkte aufmerksam den anhaltenden Shutdown der US-Regierung, der das Wirtschaftswachstum kurzfristig bremsen könnte. Besonders im Fokus: Ally Financial – die Aktie sprang, nachdem TD Cowen sie von Halten auf Kaufen hochstufte und das Kursziel auf 50 US-Dollar anhob. Das entspricht einem Potenzial von rund +26 %.

Our guest on this week's episode is Frank Kenney, director of industry strategy at Cleo. The Federal government shutdown is in its third week now with no end in sight.

Our guests shares how this latest disruption is adding even more uncertainty and how our supply chains should respond. Price and trust top shoppers' wish lists this holiday season, as U.S. consumers say accurate delivery promises are just as important as good deals this year, ramping up the pressure on retailers to meet shipping expectations.The trucking industry has been in a freight recession for more than three years now, which generally means there are too many trucks for not enough freight, so the rates that drivers can charge are super low. But there's more to the picture than that, and this week we saw a report that shed some light on it. It reveals that business conditions are very different depending if you're in the truckload sector, less than truckload, or parcel. Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Without volume and market share growth, the Class I's may be at risk—or be forced to look at merging. Investors continue to await the next leg of Class I railroad earnings growth. While margin gains from current levels are expected, PSR (Precision Scheduled Railroading) is no longer the investor story it once was, and the railroads must prove they can grow to maintain their premium multiples. In this wide-ranging conversation with Railway Age Editor-in-Chief William C. Vantuono, Wall Street Contributing Editor Jason Seidl, Managing Director at TD Cowen, explores the factors that can drive railroad market share growth, including high-quality, consistently reliable service; ease of doing business; industrial development projects; regulatory relief allowing technological advancement; and potential mergers producing a U.S. transcontinental network. While the track record for industry volume growth has been questionable, Seidl views the growth levers “as largely in railroad control.”
