Trump says he'll review Iran's latest 14-point proposal but doesn't think he can make a deal, and separately floated the possibility of resuming strikes. Oil remains above $100 per barrel and there's no clear path to Hormuz normalization.Spirit Airlines shut down early Saturday morning after a $500 million federal bailout collapsed at the finish line. The Trump administration's proposed deal would have handed the government a 90% equity stake, but bondholders couldn't agree on terms and disagreements within the administration sealed the airline's fate. We cover what this means for the budget travel landscape and whether surviving carriers catch a competitive tailwind.Ryan Cohen and GameStop just made one of the bolder moves in recent Wall Street memory — quietly building a stake in eBay and preparing a formal takeover bid. GameStop is valued around $12 billion. eBay sits near $46 billion. With $9 billion in cash on hand and a compensation package that requires taking GME to a $100 billion market cap, Cohen is swinging big. We break down whether this makes strategic sense and how to trade both tickers.Bed Bath & Beyond delivered its first meaningful revenue growth in 19 consecutive quarters — Q1 net revenue up 6.9% to $247.7 million, with losses narrowing and margins improving. The stock surged over 24% after hours. We weigh the real turnaround case against the risks of a company still losing money while integrating multiple acquisitions.Then we close with your full earnings and economic calendar preview: Palantir reports tonight with EPS expected to more than double year-over-year. AMD and Disney follow mid-week, with Disney reporting its first quarter under new CEO Josh D'Amaro. McDonald's gives us a consumer health check Thursday. And Friday's jobs report will be the first major labor market read in the Warsh era at the Fed.⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.
