I highlighted Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation’s (NYSE:BAH) strength in the cyber, 5G and AI in defense and civil markets in my previous coverage published in May 2024. The company released its Q1 result on July 26th before the market opened, reporting 10.6% organic revenue growth and a 1.7% operating profit decline.

I reiterate a “Strong Buy” rating with a fair value of $180 per share. Strong Top-line Growth with Weak Margins The…

Heavy rain began to fall about 30 minutes into the three-hour show, a nightmare scenario for the planners of the theatrical performance that featured a massive cast…

I’ve been the host of The Retirement Answer Man podcast for over ten years now. I try not to overshare my life on the show because the podcast isn’t about me. It’s about you and rocking retirement! Nonetheless, I have dropped snippets about our Colorado relocation journey over the past few years, as the process has taken a lot of unforeseen twists and turns. Recently, I realized that sharing the whole story (even though I find parts of it a little embarrassing) might be helpful to many of you who are in the same situation, either trying to relocate or…

Sen. JD Vance, the running mate of former President Donald Trump, on Friday defended his comments accusing key Democrats — including Vice President Kamala Harris — of being miserable “childless cat ladies” who want to “make the rest of the country miserable too,. anti-family and anti-kids.Vance has been under fire for days after the “cat ladies” remark resurfaced online following the Ohio Republican’s nomination as the party’s vice presidential candidate. But his decision on Friday to double down on the comments, rather than to apologize or to say his views have changed, means the Trump campaign can expect the critiques…

The Microsoft -backed AI startup said SearchGPT will generate quick responses to user queries that include relevant sources from the web. Users will be able to ask follow-up questions to add more context with each query. OpenAI said the prototype is currently available to a small…
