Hi, Tim Plaehn here.

Gold just shattered another record, breaking through $5,000 per ounce for the first time ever.

In just the first 26 days of this year, gold has surged 15%…

Building on last year’s historic 65% gain.

But I’ve found a smart way to play this gold surge.

It’s a simple gold fund that’s been quietly delivering up to 64% in yearly distributions — paid monthly — while gold climbs.

That means while others wait for gold to go higher…

You could already be collecting $1,152 a month.

The next payout could be just days away.

To your income,

This Month’s Exclusive Story

From a Dividend King to FinTech, These 3 Large Caps Just Reported

Author: Jordan Chussler. Article Posted: 2/12/2026. 

Article Highlights

• After mixed Q4 results, Coca-Cola maintained its 2026 guidance, including EPS growth of 7% to 8%.
• Robinhood has prioritized prediction markets, despite a short-term stock dip following a Q4 revenue miss.
• Duke Energy beat on the top and bottom lines, with the utility company extending its long-term growth projections, fueled by a massive five-year capital investment plan.

With earnings season in full swing, investors are counting on companies’ full-year and Q4 2025 financials to serve as an impetus for the S&P 500, which to date has mustered a gain of just 1.22%.

More importantly, shareholders are watching guidance for clues about how their portfolios may perform for the rest of the year.

A notable number of large-cap companies have already reported or will report earnings this week, including several household names that reported on Feb. 10.

From a Dividend King to a fintech groundbreaker and a 122-year-old electric utility provider, these companies’ results offered insight into their stocks, sectors and industries.

Despite Coca-Cola’s Mixed Results, Guidance Remains Steady

Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) reported full-year and Q4 2025 results before the market opened on Feb. 10. By the close, the consumer staples giant had slipped 1.47% after delivering mixed results.

The company beat analyst expectations for earnings per share (EPS) by 2 cents but missed the consensus revenue estimate by nearly 2%. Quarterly revenue rose 2.2% year-over-year (YOY).

The soft-drink maker has not missed an earnings estimate since Q1 2017, and its dividend—which Coca-Cola has increased for 64 consecutive years—has an annualized five-year growth rate of 3.93% and a dividend payout ratio of nearly 66%.

For 2026, the company expects organic revenue growth of 4% to 5%—stronger than Q4’s YOY growth—alongside EPS growth of 7% to 8% and free cash flow of approximately $12.2 billion.

During the earnings call, management noted that over the past 50 years Coca-Cola’s annual volume declined only once, during the pandemic, and investors have reason to expect the blue-chip stock will deliver again in 2026.

The Market Overlooks Robinhood’s Enormous Annual Revenue Growth

After an outsized gain of more than 185% in 2025, shares of mobile-first brokerage platform Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD) fell by more than 7% in after-hours trading on Feb. 10 after the company beat on earnings but missed on revenue.

Robinhood’s Q4 2025 EPS came in at $0.66, topping analyst expectations of $0.58. Revenue of $1.28 billion fell short of estimates of $1.32 billion.

The market’s negative reaction looks shortsighted. While quarterly revenue missed, annual revenue of $4.47 billion represented a 52% YOY increase. And, spurred in part by this year’s Super Bowl ads, prediction markets are again moving toward center stage in the U.S.

Robinhood’s recent push into prediction markets should be a substantial revenue generator as it positions itself to compete with Kalshi and Polymarket while continuing to provide financial services for equities and crypto.

According to Grand View Research, the global predictive analytics market is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.3% from 2025 to 2030, rising from $18.89 billion to $82.35 billion.

That trend should benefit Robinhood’s top line; the company listed prediction markets as its number-one priority in the earnings presentation.

Of the 24 analysts covering HOOD, 17 assign it a Buy rating, and the stock’s average 12-month price target implies nearly 54% potential upside.

Duke Beats on Top and Bottom Lines, Extends Its Long-Term EPS Growth Projections

Over the past six months, the utilities sector has trailed all 11 S&P 500 sectors with an uninspiring gain of just 0.91%. But over the past month—fueled by natural gas inflation and rising demand for electricity this winter—the sector’s 1.85% gain has outperformed the broad market.

Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK), which traces its roots to early 20th-century regional utilities, has grown through decades of mergers and acquisitions into one of the largest U.S. utilities. When it reported Q4 2025 financials on Feb. 10, it beat on both the top and bottom lines.

Duke’s EPS was $1.50, and revenue of $7.94 billion easily surpassed analyst expectations of $7.57 billion. With a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 19.62, the company’s earnings are projected to grow about 6.32% this year, from $6.33 per share to $6.73 per share.

Of note from the earnings call: Duke’s five-year capital plan increased by $16 billion to $103 billion, funding roughly 14 GW of incremental generation over five years and supporting a projected 9.6% earnings-based growth rate. Management said the company is “also extending our 5%–7% long-term EPS growth rate through 2030.”

Eleven of the 18 analysts covering DUK assign it a Buy rating, and the stock’s average 12-month price target implies about 8.69% upside. Meanwhile, Duke’s dividend, which yields 3.44%, continues to reward patient shareholders with a five-year annualized growth rate of 2% and 20 consecutive years of increases.
