Presented by Reagan Gold Group: Retirement savers and conservative investors are turning to physical gold as inflation and policy shifts put paper assets at risk. Get the free report on why gold matters now →

Big plans are getting rewarded this morning. A premium sportswear brand is leading the tape after laying out long-range targets backed by a buyback, a power supplier doubled its growth outlook, and a Chinese tech giant put a massive number on its data center ambitions.

The pain is coming out of Washington. A federal report on what Medicare pays for lab work, and a plan to pull those payments down to private-market rates, is hitting diagnostics names hardest. Meanwhile, a meme stock is catching an insider-buying bid.

Major financial changes rarely come with a warning.

By the time headlines confirm what's happening, early movers are often already positioned.

That's one reason gold has started drawing renewed attention from retirement savers, conservative investors, and Americans concerned about inflation and long-term purchasing power.

This FREE report explains why.

You'll learn:

The goal isn't panic.

It's preparation.

Understanding how gold has historically reacted during economic transitions may help you make smarter decisions for the future.

On Holding (ONON): +11%

The Swiss sportswear brand used its Investor Day to set new midterm targets, including at least CHF5.6 billion in sales by 2029, and committed to repurchasing up to $1 billion in shares over the same stretch. Reiterating this year's outlook alongside the long-range plan gave investors near-term reassurance and a longer runway to underwrite at the same time.

Vicor (VICR): +9%

The power electronics company more than doubled its growth outlook, now forecasting third-quarter revenue up more than 20% from the prior quarter versus earlier guidance of nearly 10%. A raise that large means demand is running well ahead of what management saw just weeks ago, and the market is paying up for the acceleration.

Alibaba (BABA): +4%

CEO Eddie Wu told the company's Apsara Conference that Alibaba Cloud plans to operate more than 20 gigawatts of data centers globally by 2032, and he launched the Zhenwu V900 chip alongside it. Pairing a capacity target that large with in-house silicon signals Alibaba wants a much bigger seat in the AI infrastructure buildout, on its own hardware.

GameStop (GME): +3%

CEO Ryan Cohen disclosed a purchase of 1.2 million shares, and the meme stock is climbing on the news. Insider buying at that scale is the kind of confidence signal GameStop's loyal retail base has historically been quick to reward.

Quest Diagnostics (DGX): -7%

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released a report showing Medicare has been paying 16% more for laboratory services than private payors, and said it will align most Medicare payments with private-sector rates. For a diagnostics provider, that points to lower reimbursement on its Medicare business.

Labcorp Holdings (LH): -6%

The diagnostics provider is sliding after federal regulators flagged that Medicare pays meaningfully more for lab work than private insurers do. The real issue for investors is the follow-through: regulators plan to bring most Medicare lab payments in line with private rates, turning a pricing gap into a policy change that could squeeze reimbursement.

Gold has played a role in financial systems for thousands of years.

Even after the U.S. officially left the gold standard in 1971, central banks, governments, and long-term investors continued holding gold as part of broader financial strategies.

So why is gold becoming a major conversation again?

BlackBerry (BB)

BlackBerry is sitting at the top of StockTwits' trending list heading into Thursday's earnings, with retail sentiment climbing to its most bullish reading after RBC suggested the quarter could come in ahead of estimates, even while keeping a Sector Perform rating. An emphatic on-air endorsement from Jim Cramer last week added fuel, and the chatter has spilled onto r/wallstreetbets, where mentions jumped roughly twelvefold in a day, albeit from a small base.

The stock is up more than 120% this year on the strength of QNX, its embedded software business, and it reports fiscal second-quarter results before the bell Thursday. With that much of a run already behind it, the print could either validate the QNX story or give holders a reason to take some chips off the table.

✌️That’s it for today.
