Matador Resources Keeps Quarterly Dividend at $0.375 per Share, Payable June 5 to Holders of Record May 8

Research Alert: Ibm: Results Beat, But Software Deceleration Offsets Consulting Resilience

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Q1 2026 results modestly exceeded expectations with sales of $15.9B (+9% Y/Y) and non-GAAP EPS of $1.91 (+19%), beating consensus of $15.7B and $1.81, respectively. Constant currency sales growth of 6% reflected deceleration from the prior two quarters' +9% and +7%, but management maintained 2026 guidance for constant currency revenue growth of "more than 5%" and FCF of about $15.7B. Software growth decelerated to 8% in constant currency from 11% in Q4 and 9% in Q3, a potential red flag for the bears, though Red Hat rebounded to +10% from +8% in Q4. Thus, we expect consistent ~20% bookings growth in recent periods should support low-teens sales growth this year. Infrastructure remained robust at +12% constant currency growth, with IBM Z sales up 51% Y/Y, though growth faces tougher comps ahead. We view IBM's 110 bps of Y/Y operating margin expansion as impressive, while Consulting's resilience (sales +1%, signings +10%) should counter fears around Anthropic-related COBOL competition, at least for now.

Research Alert: Lululemon Athletica Appoints Ex. Nike Executive Heidi O'neill As Ceo

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Lululemon announced Heidi O'Neill as its next CEO effective September 8, 2026, following a search process after Calvin McDonald's departure in January amid pressure from founder Chip Wilson and activist investor Elliott Management. O'Neill brings over 30 years of performance apparel experience, including 25+ years at Nike where she helped grow the company from a $9B to $45B global leader and most recently served as President, Consumer, Product & Brand. We are in favor of the decision and believe her extensive Nike background and current board positions at Spotify, Hyatt, and Lithia & Driveway make her a well-rounded candidate to guide the turnaround at lululemon. Shares fell 5% in after-hours trading as investors digest the announcement, most likely due to Nike's share decline during her recent tenure there. Her experience overseeing Nike's global consumer and product engine, resetting brand foundation, and reducing product development timelines should accelerate speed to market at LULU.

US Natural Gas Update: Futures Prices Maintain Two-week High

US natural gas futures pared earlier gains in after-hours trade on Wednesday but remained at a two-week high, as heightened geopolitical tensions surrounding conflicts in the Middle East lent support to prices.Both the front-month Henry Hub contract and the continuous benchmark edged up 0.63% to $2.714 per million British thermal units.Prices had earlier traded as high as $2.76/MMBtu during the session.Market sentiment was underpinned by expectations that the Strait of Hormuz could remain closed for an extended period, a development that would likely sustain or boost demand for US LNG exports.However, gains were capped by a weak near-term domestic demand outlook. Forecasts for warmer-than-average temperatures are expected to reduce heating demand in the coming days. Data cited by Barchart from the Commodity Weather Group indicate above-normal temperatures will likely persist across the eastern half of the US through Apr. 26, followed by cooler weather into May.Gelber & Associates said forward weather patterns may provide some support, noting that a cooler bias into early May could modestly lift heating demand. Still, the firm added that the lack of meaningful cooling demand continues to limit overall consumption.Storage expectations also weighed on the market. Analysts anticipate a larger-than-normal inventory build in the US Energy Information Administration's weekly report due Thursday. Market estimates call for an increase of 94-97 billion cubic feet for the week ended Apr. 17, well above the five-year average build of 64 Bcf for the period.On the supply side, dry gas production in the Lower 48 states was estimated at 110.3 Bcf/d, up 3.3% from a year earlier, according to data from BNEF. Demand across the region was pegged at 68.4 Bcf/d, a 2.2% increase year over year.Flows to US LNG export terminals remained steady, with net feedgas deliveries estimated at 20.1 Bcf/d, up 1.6% from the previous week.
