A Site Expansion Fuels Breakout, Fintech Turns Profitable, and EV Write-Downs Shake Earnings

A strategic expansion into a high-growth Southeast market powered a sharp breakout in infrastructure services, while strong execution helped a digital payments platform deliver a pivotal profit milestone.

On the downside, hefty electric vehicle write-downs and a deep earnings miss rattled car rental firm.

A tiny government task force working out of a strip mall just finished a 20-year mission.

And with almost no media coverage, they confirmed one of the largest U.S. territorial expansions in modern history...

A resource claim worth an estimated $500 trillion.

Thanks to sovereign U.S. law, this isn't just a national asset.

It's an American birthright.

That means every citizen now has the legal right to stake a claim...

But very few even know the opportunity exists.

If you want to see how you can get in line for your portion of this record-breaking windfall...

I've assembled everything you need to see inside a new, time-sensitive briefing:

Get all the details here - while the claim window remains open.

Wall Street closed lower after the Federal Reserve’s minutes signaled policymakers are in no rush to cut rates and could even hike if inflation stays elevated. Rising oil prices amid Middle East tensions also added to a risk-off mood, while cautious guidance from Walmart weighed on sentiment.

Visa Inc (NYSE: V) is acquiring Prisma and Newpay, two platforms that sit at the center of Argentina's payments system. Prisma processes over six billion transactions a year for the country's biggest banks. Newpay handles electronic bills, cash access, and ATM networks.

Together, they form the backbone of Argentina's money movement. Visa is now wiring that directly into its global network.

Full Circle in Buenos Aires

Prisma was originally created through a merger involving Visa Argentina back in 2014. Visa sold its stake during a government push to open competition, and Advent took full ownership by 2022.

Now, Visa is buying it back bigger and more mature. You can see the patience in this move. Let someone else do the scaling, then step back in when the system is ready.

Cash Country Goes Digital

Argentina still runs heavily on cash. This deal brings tokenization, biometric tools, and modern risk management into a market with massive room to grow.

If your view of Visa stops at the card in your wallet, this is the bigger picture. Visa wants to own the infrastructure in high-growth markets, not just sit on top of it.

You are watching a payments giant buy its way to the front of every line in economies still shifting from cash to digital. That is where the next decade of growth lives.

One Stop Systems Inc (NASDAQ: OSS) just landed its largest batch of contracts yet for the P-8A Poseidon, the U.S. Navy's long-range patrol aircraft used for anti-submarine warfare, surveillance, and reconnaissance.

The company builds rugged data storage systems that capture and transfer sensor data in extreme airborne environments.

This is a small company becoming a repeat vendor on one of the military's most critical platforms. That pattern matters more than any single contract.

Repeat Business Is the Real Win

Defense procurement is slow, cautious, and built on trust. Once a company proves it can deliver reliable hardware for a specific platform, it becomes deeply embedded in the program's supply chain.

You can see that playing out here. Orders have been growing steadily, and each new award reinforces the relationship. Switching vendors on active military aircraft is expensive, risky, and rare.

The Platform Has Decades Left

The P-8A Poseidon is not a short-lived program. It is a cornerstone of naval surveillance operations with a long operational life ahead.

That gives any embedded supplier a runway that stretches well beyond the next quarterly report.

If your attention has been focused only on the big defense contractors, this is a reminder that smaller companies quietly power the systems inside the systems.

In defense, being the trusted hardware inside a major platform is the kind of advantage that compounds quietly over the years.

For decades, one type of investment was reserved for the ultra-wealthy.

Then Trump signed Executive Order 14330 - and opened it to everyone.

Now you can get into this boom for less than $20.

See what changed

United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL) is rolling out the biggest overhaul to its MileagePlus program in over a decade. Travelers without a United credit card will earn fewer miles per flight starting April 2.

Cardholders earn more miles, receive better redemption rates, and have access to discounted award seats, including long-haul business-class seats.

The message is simple. Loyalty alone is not enough anymore. United wants a financial relationship, not just a frequent flyer.

Credit Cards Are the Real Business

Airlines make billions from co-branded credit card deals. The revenue is predictable, high-margin, and not tied to fuel prices or seat capacity. Every major carrier has been quietly shifting its loyalty program to drive more card signups.

United is now being the most aggressive about it. If you fly United regularly without the card, the math just got noticeably worse for you.

Competition Forced the Move

The travel credit card market has exploded over the past five years. Amex Platinum, Capital One Venture X, and Chase Sapphire Reserve all compete for the same spending.

United needs its card to win top-of-wallet status or risk losing that revenue stream entirely.

This overhaul is less about rewarding loyalty and more about defending your attention in an overcrowded rewards market.

United is widening the gap between cardholders and non-cardholders to the point that the choice feels obvious.

If you have been earning miles casually without the card, United just made it clear that era is over.
