Non-Executive Co-Chairman of Sunrise Energy Metals Robert Martin Friedland Buys 92% More Shares
Sunrise Energy Metals Limited (ASX:SRL) shareholders (or potential shareholders) will be happy to see that the Non-Executive Co-Chairman, Robert Martin Friedland, recently bought a whopping AU$3.0m worth of stock, at a price of AU$0.30. That increased their holding by a full 92%, which arguably implies the sort of confidence required for a shy sweet-natured nerd to ask the most popular kid in the school to go out on a date. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. In fact, the recent purchase by Robert Martin Friedland was the biggest purchase of Sunrise Energy Metals shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. Although we like to see insider buying, we note that this large purchase was at significantly below the recent price of AU$0.81. While it does suggest insiders consider the stock undervalued at lower prices, this transaction doesn't tell us much about what they think of current prices. You can see a visual depiction of insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last 12 months, below. If you click on the chart, you can see all the individual transactions, including the share price, individual, and the date! See our latest analysis for Sunrise Energy Metals There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. You probably do not want to miss this free list of undervalued small cap companies that insiders are buying. Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Insiders own 31% of Sunrise Energy Metals shares, worth about AU$23m. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders. It is good to see the recent insider purchase. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. However, we note that the company didn't make a profit over the last twelve months, which makes us cautious. When combined with notable insider ownership, these factors suggest Sunrise Energy Metals insiders are well aligned, and that they may think the share price is too low. While it's good to be aware of what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision. For instance, we've identified 3 warning signs for Sunrise Energy Metals (2 make us uncomfortable) you should be aware of. If you would prefer to check out another company -- one with potentially superior financials -- then do not miss this free list of interesting companies, that have HIGH return on equity and low debt. For the purposes of this article, insiders are those individuals who report their transactions to the relevant regulatory body.

5 Dow Jones Industrial Stocks Declining In Price, Not Rallying
Dow Jones Industrial Average The Dow Jones Industrial Average has not yet joined the 'new highs' crowd. Although the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 achieved it last week, the 30 equities known as 'Dow Industrials' failed to get there. One reason is that these five stocks – all DJIA components – have been dropping in price, not rising. Each one has an individual story but it's probably worth noting that 16.67% of the big index is pulling down the overall average. It's enough of a weight that the other stock market indexes have pulled ahead and left the Industrials behind. Inflationary expectations and lack of an interest rate cut may be hitting harder for these 5. 5 Dow Jones Industrial Stocks In Price Drops Apple Apple daily price chart, 6 30 2025. The price hit $260 in late December 2024 and that's been the peak. By early April, the stock had tanked to just below $170. A rally took it up to the $215 level but buyers seem reluctant to move Apple higher than that. The 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average in early April. The stock closed above the 50-day on the last day of June. Salesforce daily price chart 6 30 25. The software application company peaked in early December 2024 at just above $365. Selling took it down for a few weeks and then the stock hit the $365 mark again, briefly. The sell-off into early April took the price down to $230 before buyers showed up. The 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average in mid-April. Home Depot Home Depot daily price chart 6 30 25. The price reached above $430 in late November 2024 and in early December 2024 but it's been down since then. It rallied off of the early April low and briefly popped above the 200-day moving average in mid-May, hitting just above $385. The 50-day moving average appears to trending upward and Home Depot closed above it on the last three days of June. Merck Merck daily price chart, 6 30 25. The stock of the pharmaceutical company is not helping the Dow Jones Industrial Average at all. Take a look at the relentlessness in downward direction of the 200-day moving average. The price has traded below it for the entire period shown on this chart. Merck in June has managed to move above the 50-day moving average for most of the month but refuses to take off above the late April high. Unitedhealth Group Unitedhealth Group daily price chart, 6 30 25. This huge health insurance company with a market cap of $283 billion is the one component pulling down the Dow the most. The stock traded at just under $620 in November 2024 and now goes for $311. That's practically a 50% slide. The 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average in late January 2025 providing a warning of sorts.

Stock market today: S&P 500, Nasdaq jump to fresh records, capping stunning second-quarter comeback
US stocks climbed to fresh records on Monday amid signs of progress in trade talks, ending one of the most volatile first halves of a year in recent memory. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose over 0.6%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) and the S&P 500 (^GSPC) moved up about 0.5%, with both indices notching new record highs as the benchmark index closed above 6,200 for the first time. Big Tech giants Nvidia (NVDA) and Meta (META) hit their own fresh records. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite last week had clinched new record highs for the first time since February — the start of the year's tariff-fueled stock swings. Stocks started a holiday-shortened week on an upbeat note as hopes rose that the US and its top trading partners are closing in on deals over the sweeping tariffs introduced by President Trump. Canada scrapped a digital services tax targeting US tech companies late on Sunday — just hours before it was set to start collecting payments — in a bid to revive stalled trade negotiations. The easing in odds of a global trade war comes as a July 9 deadline looms for the resumption of sweeping US "reciprocal" tariffs, which Trump on Sunday said he didn't think he'd need to extend. So far, his administration has hammered out only two accords — not full-blown agreements — with China and the UK, with the British tariff deal going into effect on Monday. Market watchers were closely following Senate negotiations over Trump's proposed $4.5 trillion tax cut bill, as Republican leaders race to persuade party holdouts to back the legislation. The Congressional Budget Office estimated it would add $3.3 trillion to the deficit over a decade, as it stands. The Senate was voting on dozens of amendments in a marathon session on Monday. Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) fell about 5 basis points to 4.23%. Looking ahead, the June jobs report on Thursday will be a highlight, as markets increasingly grow optimistic that the Federal Reserve could lower interest rates soon. But the week's trading will be cut short, as markets will close at 1 p.m. ET on Thursday, and remain shut on Friday for the Fourth of July holiday. The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) and S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose around 0.5% Monday to notch fresh records, ending a volatile first half of the year. Those gains come after the two indexes hit new highs last week for the first time since February. The tech-heavy Nasdaq moved up as Nvidia (NVDA) and Meta (META) notched their own record closing highs. Microsoft (MSFT) touched an intraday high but ended the day nose hairs short of a new record. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) climbed 0.6% but was still clawing its way back toward its prior record close in December. The 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) fell 5 basis points as investors closely watched the advancement of Trump's "big, beautiful bill" through the Senate. Yahoo Finance's Josh Schafer reports: Read more here. Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META) touched all-time highs on Monday as Big Tech companies led modest gains. Meta was poised to close at a new record after CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a restructuring of the company's artificial intelligence group. Microsoft and Meta have risen by double-digit percentages year to date, while AI giant Nvidia (NVDA) hit fresh records last week. President Trump broke new ground in his ongoing calls for Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates — the president sent a signed note to the Fed chair. In a post on Truth Social, the social network owned by Trump, the president again called for Powell and the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, writing that Powell and the Fed's Board of Governors "should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen to the United States." Trump added that the Fed should cut rates to 1%. Earlier this month, the Fed kept its benchmark interest rate in a range of 4.25%-4.5%. Trump's post included a signed picture of global central bank interest rates that showed the nearly three dozen global central banks that have set benchmark rates below the Fed. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed in a press conference Monday that this signed table was sent to Powell. Trump's latest barbs at Powell come as speculation over who will replace Powell as Fed chair next year continues to heat up. During an interview on Bloomberg earlier on Monday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested there are people already at the Fed being considered to take Powell's role as chair. Bessent added that there are other strategies Trump could pursue, such as filling the open seat on the Fed's Board of Governors, that could exert pressure on Powell before his term as chair is up next May. As Yahoo Finance's Jennifer Schonberger has reported, former Fed government Kevin Warsh, current Fed governor Christoper Waller, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, former World Bank president David Malpass, and Bessent are candidates that have been discussed to replace Powell, according to people close to the administration. Shares of Robinhood (HOOD) spiked more than 11% on Monday, setting the stock up to close at a record high, after the trading platform said it has launched tokenized trading for more than 200 US stocks and ETFs in the European Union. The announcement continues Robinhood's push into crypto, using blockchain technology to allow European investors to trade the commission-free tokens around the clock, five days a week. Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi reports: Read more here. BNB Paribas downgraded Alphabet stock (GOOGL, GOOG) to Neutral from Buy on Monday. 'Google has come a long way since then in developing its Gemini offering, culminating in the recent successful launch of Gemini 2.5 pro model,' analyst Stefan Slowinski wrote. 'However, monetisation of Gemini remains limited for now.' The analysts wrote that 'Alphabet will be an eventual GenAI winner as it has the entire 'stack'' but that they fear 'GenAI investments could slow EPS growth.' Slowinski lowered his price target on the stock to $172 from $213. The stock traded flat on Monday at around $178 per share and is down more than 6% for the year, underperforming its 'Magnificent Seven' peers. Slowinski also wrote: 'In addition, business model transition risks may weigh on top line Search Advertising growth as Google sees fewer Search clicks, and explores new monetisation approaches like AI Overviews, AI Mode, Live Search and the Gemini Assistant.' Meta (META) stock was on pace to close at a record high on Monday for the first time since February. Shares hit an all-time intraday high just north of $748 each. Meta has outperformed the rest of the "Magnificent Seven" stocks year to date, gaining 26% compared to a 17% increase in AI chip giant Nvidia (NVDA), which is also hovering at record highs. Meta has been doubling down on AI, recently investing in the startup Scale AI ( As part of the deal, Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang will reportedly join Meta's AI research lab focused on pursuing "superintelligence." The first half of 2025 marked a triumphant return of crypto optimism. From President Trump's crypto-friendly stance and his appointment of a new SEC chair to the first couple's own controversial coins, momentum in the industry returned, helping boost bitcoin to record highs near $112,000. Yahoo Finance's Ines Ferré reports: Read more here. Morgan Stanley (MS) analysts wrote in a note to clients Sunday that they are bullish on Nvidia (NVDA) stock and "looking through" concerns over bottlenecks in its supply chain that could lead the chipmaker to produce GPUs faster than its suppliers can build them into server racks. After meeting with industry contacts in Taiwan and Beijing, analyst Joseph Moore wrote that Nvidia's supply chain is "strong near term" but "mixed longer term." "Near-term data points from several supply chain participants suggest strength in AI, but significant skepticism about 2026 remains," Moore wrote. "That skepticism is driven by the same concerns we hear about from US investors — chip production ahead of various supply bottlenecks will lead to excess inventory by year end." "The reason we are looking through these concerns is that our contacts point to very strong demand for all Blackwell form factors, and supply bottlenecks across racks and power management easing materially," the analyst added. Moore said Nvidia is his top pick of chip stocks. The Financial Times reported in late May that Nvidia's suppliers had resolved technical issues that had delayed shipments of its Blackwell AI servers and threatened the chipmaker's annual sales targets. Nvidia stock last week notched a new record high. Shares fell fractionally Monday morning. Hewlett Packard Enterprise stock (HPE) jumped more than 13% Monday morning following news over the weekend that the company had settled a case with the US Department of Justice. The DOJ sued HPE — one of the largest makers of wireless networking systems — in January to block the company's proposed $14 billion acquisition of another company in the industry, Juniper Networks (JNPR). Juniper Networks shares were up 8% early Monday. The settlement "paves the way to close HPE's acquisition of Juniper Networks," HPE CEO Antonio Neri said in a statement Saturday. Juniper has a "strong position" in the artificial intelligence space, Bank of America's Wamsi Mohan wrote in a note to clients Monday. With the acquisition of Juniper, HPE is "positioned to offer an end-to-end networking and AI infrastructure stack that can better compete in AI-enabled datacenter and cloud-edge environment," boosting the company's earnings over the long term. Stocks moved higher at the market open Monday to start a holiday-shortened week, set to notch fresh records amid rising hopes for US trade deals ahead of the July 9 deadline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose roughly 0.5%. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) moved up about 0.3%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) jumped about 0.4%. Oracle stock soared more than 7% and was set to start the trading session at a new intraday high after the software giant disclosed in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission that it had signed new cloud services agreements. 'Oracle is off to a strong start in FY26," CEO Safra Catz will tell other Oracle colleagues later today, according to the filing. "Our MultiCloud database revenue continues to grow at over 100%, and we signed multiple large cloud services agreements including one that is expected to contribute more than $30 billion in annual revenue starting in FY28." In its fiscal year 2025, which ended May 31, Oracle's revenue was $57.4 billion. The company partnered with OpenAI ( and SoftBank (SFTBY) to launch the highly publicized $500 billion Stargate project, building AI data centers earlier this year, but the project has stalled. Solar stocks fluctuated in premarket trading Monday after it emerged that the Senate's draft version of the tax and spending bill, which slashes wind and solar tax credits, also now contains a tax on wind and solar projects completed after 2027 that use components from China. The tax on renewable projects came as a surprise to the industry, which largely relies on China to source components from batteries to solar panels. A statement from the American Clean Power Association said the effect would be to "strand hundreds of billions of dollars in current investments." The latest provision comes after solar stocks were hit two weeks ago when lawmakers moved to phase out tax breaks for the industry sooner than expected. Shares of NextEra Energy (NEE) dropped 4% while Enphase Energy (ENPH) stock fell 2.6%. The Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) declined 1.5%. However, there were some bright spots for certain renewable stocks. US-based First Solar (FSLR) rose 7%, while GE Vernova (GEV), which offers wind technologies, added 1.1%. And Sunrun (RUN) gained 7% while SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG) advanced 0.5% due to a short-term extension of residential solar tax credits. Read more here.
