Good evening, you're tuned to Markets Desk.

Greg Abel's tenure as Berkshire Hathaway CEO is off to a decisive start. Abel, who took the helm at the start of two thousand twenty six, has already put six point eight billion dollars to work in a bet on homebuilder Taylor Morrison, with Warren Buffett himself stepping back to praise Abel's execution on the deal.

Turning to the semiconductor space, Qorvo remains in focus as insider filing activity continues to draw attention. A disposal of roughly twenty-two hundred shares at a weighted average of ninety-five dollars and four cents, and a separate transaction involving nearly three thousand shares valued at around two hundred eighty-five thousand dollars, are notable, though analysts say the real story is whether a Skyworks buyout materializes. That merger outcome will ultimately define Qorvo's trajectory far more than any insider move.

In the nuclear energy space, investors are drawing a clear distinction between producers and developers. Cameco and Centrus Energy are the only two names in the sector generating actual fuel revenue today, with trailing twelve month figures of roughly two point five billion and four hundred seventy-four million dollars respectively. The remaining players carry significant valuation premiums despite having no fuel sales to show for it yet.

That's the tape. Markets Desk, signing off the floor.
