Leader in high-bandwidth memory, Nvidia linked.
SK Hynix ADR debuted in the U.S. above its listing price with strong demand and liquidity. The company is the leader in high-bandwidth memory, a key Nvidia supplier, and offers U.S. investors a pure-play memory opportunity that dominates where the Nvidia connection matters.
Ed Bastian CEO of Delta Air Lines 2:15
Strong demand, profit goal within reach.
Delta posted a $1.4 billion profit with 9% margins despite a 75% surge in fuel costs. Demand for air travel remains very strong and Delta is capturing over 60% of industry profits with only 20% market share. The original 2026 profit goal is within reach.

Tight refining capacity lifts fuel, benefits refiners.
Refining stocks like Valero and Marathon Petroleum hit record highs thanks to a jump in gasoline and diesel futures. A flood of stranded crude exited the Strait of Hormuz, but there is little spare refining capacity globally, which keeps fuel prices elevated and benefits refiners.
