Investors may want to pick up shares in companies that can withstand a possible inflation comeback. The second quarter is off to a rough start as investors have become increasingly wary about higher-for-longer interest rates and stickier inflation. Against this market backdrop, we used the CNBC Pro Stock Screener to search for stocks with the pricing power and cost controls to handle a potential inflation reacceleration. These names have also showed reliable earnings growth during the post-pandemic inflation spike. The darling chipmaker has gross profit margin of 72.7% and high levels of earnings growth.

☆ Uber joins the Dow Transports. Here's why it's a curious addition

Uber is going into the Dow Transports on Monday, marking the first change to the index since Dec. 7, 2021, when Old Dominion replaced Kansas City Southern. Under Dow Theory, the Transports should confirm a new high in the Dow Industrials. Uber is a funny add because unlike many of the other index components, it's not really a shipping company. The add likely reflects the Dow Transports index committee's belief that this is a transportation company, even if it just shuttles people instead of packages. This follows a well-known pattern called the S & P inclusion effect.

Review and Outlook: A wake-up call for the Democratic Party, as a Siena College-New York Times poll of six 2024 battleground states shows Mr. Biden losing to Donald Trump in Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Images: AP/Getty Images Composite: Mark KellyDemocrats had a good election night on Tuesday, and the left is especially ebullient about blocking statewide Republican control in Virginia. But a closer look at the returns shows that GOP Gov. Mr. Youngkin threw his full political weight behind holding the House of Delegates and flipping the state Senate, part of why Democrats were so relieved he failed. The Democratic upper chamber has blocked his priorities such as a cut in the state’s corporate and personal income tax rate.

Is the 80-year-old Biden (who turns 81 on Nov. 20) uniquely vulnerable because of his age and other issues? We'll get you copies of all those other polls," Biden said as he prepared to leave for a speech before United Auto Workers in Illinois. A lot of Biden's policies are toxic," O'Connell adds, ticking off the border and inflation along with the president's age. Democrats, meanwhile, believe they can benefit not just from the abortion issue but discontent toward Trump, whose favorability numbers with the general electorate are on par with Biden's . With stubbornly low approval ratings a year out from the election, Biden will need all the help he can get.

A European company has canceled plans to build blades for offshore wind turbines in coastal Virginia, the latest sign of struggle within the U.S.'s nascent industry. Dominion said its 176-turbine project will be the largest offshore wind farm under development in the U.S. The main appeal of offshore wind for supporters, including environmentalists and many state governments, is that it doesn't burn fossil fuels and therefore drive climate change. But opponents claim offshore wind is inherently unworkable without massive financial subsidies. But the costs of renewable energy — wind, solar, and other forms — have been declining, while becoming increasingly competitive, he said.

☆ Virginia's House and Senate are up for grabs, with abortion access at stake
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-07 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Republicans currently have a narrow 51-to-46 majority in the House of Delegates, while Democrats hold a slim 22-to-18 edge in the state Senate. If Republican majorities take over both chambers, they will almost certainly enact a controversial 15-week abortion ban proposed by Virginia Republican Gov. In the Senate, Democrats have pulled in $12.7 million in contributions, compared with the $10.6 million Republicans have raised. In the House, Democrats booked $14.2 million, compared with the Republicans' $8.4 million. The Republican victory suggested Virginia voters were shifting to the right, just a year after Joe Biden trounced Donald Trump in the state in 2020.

But this year, abortion is on the ballot, with party control of the closely divided chambers of the legislature determining whether Virginia will lose its status as the last Southern state where abortion is mostly legal and accessible. Democrats, meanwhile, see the races as critical not only to sustaining abortion rights in swing-state Virginia but as a test of how powerful the issue remains nationally. Predicting winners is always difficult in state legislative races, but especially hard in Virginia. Where Democrats have an edge, experts say, is on the motivating factor of abortion rights. Since Dobbs, pro-abortion rights voters have become more energized, Rackaway says, since they're trying to regain something they lost in the Supreme Court ruling.

The freight shipping company, which went bankrupt in August after a protracted labor dispute, owns approximately 12,000 trucks and 35,000 trailers, according to its bankruptcy court filings. Yellow intends to conduct an auction for the vehicles by Oct 18 and seek court approval for the vehicle sale on Oct. 27. The company is taking a longer time to sell its real estate assets, despite having a $1.525 billion offer in hand from rival shipping company Estes Express Lines. Yellow has set a Nov. 9 bid deadline and expects to seek court approval for a real estate sale in December. A longer sale process will allow more competition for Yellow's 300 shipping terminals and other real estate assets, which have already generated significant interest from buyers.

Yellow said Estes' new bid is the best and superior to Old Dominion Freight Line Inc's (ODFL.O) $1.5 billion August stalking horse bid. Privately held Estes had submitted a $1.3 billion bid last month to acquire Yellow's shipment centers. A stalking horse bid is an initial bid on the assets of a bankrupt company, setting the low-end bidding bar so that other bidders cannot underbid the purchase price. "Estes Stalking Horse Bid is an improvement over the Old Dominion Bid because it offers more money for the Acquired Assets and less fees in terms of bid protections," Yellow said in a filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. The nearly 100-year-old company filed for bankruptcy with just $39 million cash on hand, which it said was not enough to run a months-long bankruptcy sale for its 12,000 trucks, real estate holdings and other assets.

Missouri and Texas A&M were the first teams to join the SEC in 20 years. Financial benefits and concerns about conference stability lured Boston College to become the A.C.C.’s 12th member in 2005. Penn State, one of the last major programs to remain independent, became the Big Ten’s 11th member in 1993, setting off a wave of realignment across college football. The Missouri Valley Conference stopped sponsoring football after the 1985 season. Arkansas departed for the SEC in 1991, signaling the beginning of the end for the Southwest Conference, long associated with N.C.A.A.
