Wall St. Hasn’t Priced This Gold Setup Yet
Gold is trading near historic highs.
Major banks are lifting targets toward $6,000. Institutional capital is returning to the sector. Central banks continue accumulating. When gold strengthens like this, Wall Street typically adjusts valuations quickly – especially among larger producers.
Smaller explorers often follow, but with more runway.
Some investors look for what has already moved. Others look for what’s still developing.
One junior remains under $1 while actively drilling in a district that has produced over 30 million ounces of gold.
In strong gold cycles, timing and runway can matter just as much as momentum.

For sports fans, March is one of the best times of the year because of the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, known as March Madness. It’s also a favorite time for sports bettors.
Analysts forecast up to $4 billion could be wagered at U.S. sportsbooks on this year’s tournament. For those who view the world through an investor lens, that signals a potential opportunity.
How China Accidentally Created Its Own Rare Earth Rival (Ad)
Last century, wars were fought over oil. The 21st century will be won or lost on rare earth elements, the digital gunpowder of modern dominance powering robotics, AI data centers, and the F-35 Lightning II, which requires 920 lbs. of rare earths just to stay in the sky. In 2024, 97% of the 1.2 million drones produced for the Ukraine conflict relied on heavy rare earth magnets processed in China, and nearly all global refining equipment is built, coded, and controlled overseas—a dangerous chokepoint that could be cut at any time. One domestic rare earth company is working to bring that leverage back to North America with a proprietary tech stack that’s 100% independent of Chinese equipment, paired with an AI-optimized refining engine to deliver 99.5% purity metals.See how this NASDAQ company is building an uncuttable supply chain
Some of the growth expectations stem from the expansion of legal wagering into more states. This year, the opportunity is even more intriguing because of the rising popularity of prediction markets. Prediction markets allow participants to buy and sell contracts on the outcomes of future events; the price of each contract reflects the market’s perceived likelihood of that outcome.
The concept of prediction markets isn’t new, but the internet and blockchain technologies have helped address long-standing regulation and trust issues, enabling broader adoption. In fact, the 2024 presidential election was one of the first times prediction markets became part of the national conversation.
The boom has spawned many companies trying to capture this market. However, most pure-play prediction-market firms are not publicly traded. With so much attention flowing into prediction markets, several traditional gaming stocks are now entering the space.
Robinhood Expands Prediction Markets Inside Its Trading Platform
Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD) is becoming one of the best-known names in prediction markets. The company’s SuperApp is blurring the lines between stock trading, crypto, and, increasingly, prediction markets.
Robinhood offers a diversified way to gain exposure to prediction markets within a profitable trading platform rather than a single-purpose venue. For example, in its most recent earnings report, Robinhood said prediction markets revenue is already annualizing at $435 million.
That revenue now represents about 10% of Robinhood’s record $4.5 billion in fiscal 2025 revenue, which was up 52% year-over-year (YOY). In the fourth quarter, revenue of $1.28 billion and earnings per share of $0.66 were both at record levels.
Despite those results, HOOD is down roughly 30% in 2026. The stock appears to have formed a bottom and is consolidating; analysts’ consensus price target is about $120, implying more than 50% upside from recent levels.
DraftKings Brings Prediction Markets Directly Into Sports Betting
Give the people what they want. That may not be exactly what DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ: DKNG) was thinking when it announced plans to launch “DraftKings Predictions” in 2026, but the move will embed betting and prediction features directly into how fans consume live sports through exclusive integrations with ESPN and NBCUniversal.
This isn’t necessarily a play to catch up. DraftKings is expanding into prediction markets at a time when underlying customer engagement is accelerating. In its last earnings report, the company said season-to-date sportsbook hold and net revenue margins have expanded, alongside a rising parlay mix. That supports the opportunity to add prediction-markets customers who are similar, but not identical, to traditional sportsbook bettors.
Like HOOD, DKNG is down about 27% in 2026, continuing a downtrend that began in late summer 2025 and tracking broader consumer discretionary weakness. The stock appears to have found a bottom, but investors will want to see it reclaim the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) as confirmation of a bullish reversal.
FanDuel Owner Flutter Targets Prediction Market Growth
Flutter Entertainment plc (NYSE: FLUT), the parent company of FanDuel, is entering prediction markets from a position of strength. The company is the world’s leading online sports betting and iGaming operator. In the United States, FanDuel accounts for roughly 41% of online sportsbook gross gaming revenue and a 28% share of iGaming; Flutter views prediction markets as incremental total-addressable-market expansion rather than a substitute for traditional betting.
Flutter generated €16.4 billion ($19.04 billion) in 2025 revenue and served nearly 16 million average monthly players across brands such as FanDuel, Sky Bet, PokerStars, and Paddy Power. Group revenue grew 17% last year, with adjusted EBITDA up 21% to €2.85 billion ($3.31 billion) as Flutter leveraged its scale, technology, and its “Flutter Edge” data platform across markets.
The recently launched FanDuel Predictsalready offers sports contracts in 18 states and non-sports contracts nationwide. Early engagement has skewed heavily to sports and average volume per customer is tracking to expectations. Management expects to invest up to €300 million ($348 million) to build FanDuel Predicts ahead of the 2026 World Cup and the 2026–27 NFL season.
Investors haven’t rewarded the company for that growth; FLUT is down more than 50% in 2026. Still, the stock shows clear oversold signals and its consensus price target implies roughly 100% upside over the next 12 months.
