Oil prices dropped below $70 a barrel, giving drivers more cash to spend—and restaurants, especially fast-food chains, are feeling the love. Stocks for El Pollo Loco and Wingstop jumped nearly 5% and 4% respectively as the market cheered the economic relief. While El Pollo Loco’s stock has surged 56% this year and hit a 52-week high, long-term investors still lag behind. With the World Cup heating up, stadium-area eateries are poised for a boost, and chains are rolling out special deals to ride the wave. Still, wage inflation looms as a potential threat to restaurant profits. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Wendy’s stock surged 25% after Reddit’s WallStreetBets users rallied to “save” the struggling burger chain, which has lost value and profits over the past five years. Facing declining customers and rising costs, the company’s fortunes may be turning with new leadership—CEO Robert Wright and CFO Steve Cirulis, both proven turnaround experts from Potbelly’s 500% stock surge. Investors now watch closely to see if this social media-driven spike signals a real comeback or just a fleeting trend. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

TMC, The Metals Company, is on the verge of a major breakthrough after securing NOAA approval to explore a vast Pacific seabed for critical minerals — a crucial step toward revenue and investor confidence. With the U.S. government actively pushing to reduce reliance on foreign mineral sources, TMC stands to benefit from strong policy tailwinds. But the real test lies ahead: proving it can actually extract these minerals from the ocean floor. Until then, it’s a high-risk, high-reward play — but the potential for a stock surge hinges on execution, not just promises. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

TotalEnergies just locked in a 10% stake in Abu Dhabi’s Bab Gas Cap project, a major win that deepens its partnership with ADNOC as the UAE accelerates its natural gas ambitions. The project taps into gas reserves above the existing Bab oil field, targeting 1.5 billion cubic feet daily — fueling the UAE’s growing LNG sector, including TotalEnergies’ own 10% share in Ruwais LNG. Seen as a low-cost, low-emission asset with huge growth potential, the move underscores TotalEnergies’ 87-year foothold in the UAE and its strategic role in the region’s energy future. ADNOC Onshore leads with 60%, joined by bp (10%), CNPC (8%), and others, building on a 40-year concession renewed in 2015. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Dell’s AI server boom is driving over 90% revenue growth, but the real story might be Jabil—the quiet contract manufacturer powering AI data centers with server racks, cooling, and networking gear. Jabil’s AI-related revenue is projected to hit $13B this year, up 24% in EPS, fueled by new hyperscaler deals and explosive 34% annual growth in AI servers. Trading at a steep discount to its value, Jabil could be the next big AI infrastructure play waiting for market recognition. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Brinker International’s stock jumped over 3% today as crude oil dipped below $70 a barrel—good news for consumers and restaurants alike.

Palantir’s stock, after a meteoric rise of over 300% in five years, is now facing a steep 36% drop this year despite strong AI-driven growth—especially in the U.S. commercial sector, which surged 133% and posted a 53% net income margin. CEO Alex Karp remains bullish, forecasting U.S. revenue to double again by 2027, but investors are wary of AI’s threat to lower entry barriers for competitors and the political volatility of government contracts. With the stock already pricing in near-perfect execution, the path ahead is narrow: fundamentals suggest continued growth, but the market may be ahead of itself, leaving little room for error as Palantir navigates a rapidly evolving AI landscape and mounting competition.
