(4) And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. New King James VersionChange email Bible version
The English word “nurture” (KJV) or “training” (NKJV) indicates caring for and providing supportive instruction. The underlying Greek word more specifically involves educational feeding or instruction, as if in school or for the purpose of learning a discipline. The word thus covers verbal instruction, chastening, and the use of drills needed to produce Christian character. It does not at all indicate that any of these approaches is even harsh, let alone cruel. However, it suggests that parents follow an organized and consistent plan.
The term “admonition” or “instruction” (NIV) means a warning, drawing specific attention to verbal instruction. In summary, Paul touches on three areas vital to child-training so that children keep the fifth commandment properly. “Of the Lord” touches on the standard or quality one is to strive for. “Nurture” indicates what is physically done to and with the child in terms of consistent, regimented training, including discipline. “Admonition” draws attention to what is said and how it is said to the child.
Taken together, then, Paul clearly teaches that child-training is something that can neither be left to chance nor sloughed off with a careless, resigned attitude, as if it were merely a necessary evil. The parents’ vision must be long-range. From parents applying right principles consistently will come the gradual development of understanding and wisdom in the children. These are precursors that help produce the promised long life and prosperity in the Fifth Commandment (Exodus 20:12; Ephesians 6:1-3).
In I Thessalonians 2:7-8, Paul uses himself and his relationship with the Thessalonian congregation as an example:
But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children. So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.
He says he treated them with the tender affection of a nursing mother, striving hard so that no one could honestly charge him with taking anything from them. They personally witnessed how gently and consistently he dealt with them as a father does his children by appealing and encouraging them to live their lives to glorify God in their conduct.
Keysight Technologies (NYSE: KEYS)is a somewhat under-the-radar technology stock benefiting significantly from multiple converging tailwinds. The company is seeing growing demand from both artificial intelligence (AI) and defense markets, two of the world’s hottest industries. Interest from these markets has helped Keysight shares soar more than 80% over the past 52 weeks. This includes the huge 23% spike the company saw after its latest earnings report.
So, what exactly does Keysight do, and why exactly has this name been able to put up such strong performance? And, more importantly, is there still room for Keysight to deliver significant gains long-term? Let’s dive into these questions.
Keysight: A Validation Engine Pushing Technology Forward
Keysight uses a combination of hardware, software, and services to help electronics companies design, validate, manufacture, deploy, and optimize their products. Essentially, the firm offers a full-stack solution: from the research phase, to testing prototypes, to product implementation and refinement.
Keysight participates in the electronic automation design (EDA) software industry, which is led by firms such as Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS) and Cadence Design Systems (NASDAQ: CDNS). However, Keysight’s sales are much more heavily weighted toward hardware. In its latest earnings call, Keysight said software and services accounted for around 40% of revenue, with hardware making up most of the remaining portion.
This difference in revenue breakdown shows itself in the fact that Keysight’s gross margins tend to sit in the mid-60% range.
While still strong, this is far below the +80% gross margins seen at Synopsys and Cadence, as software delivers higher margins than hardware. However, one advantage of providing more hardware is that it can increase customer stickiness. Keysight’s software becomes more useful as it integrates with a large base of hardware products, making customers more likely to use its full range of solutions.
All of this isn’t to say that Keysight, Synopsys, and Cadence are direct competitors, although their businesses overlap. Keysight positions itself, Synopsys, and Cadence as providing complementary offerings.
Synopsys and Cadence focus on modeling how chips and systems should behave in virtual environments before customers produce a physical product. Meanwhile, Keysight focuses on testing and validating how technologies actually perform under real-world physical conditions.
For investors, the takeaway is that Keysight has developed its own niche that gives it an important role in electronic development, focused on validating real-world performance. They work to ensure that complex technologies across AI infrastructure, 5G, 6G, defense, and automotive function as intended after their design.
KEYS Beats Big, Ups Guidance as Big Tailwinds Drive Growth
Keysight performed very well in its latest quarter, with revenues rising 23%year over year to $1.6 billion. This marked the company’s highest growth rate since 2021 and solidly beat estimates, which called for growth of around 19%.
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) rose by 19% to $2.17. This smashed estimates of $2, which implied growth of only 10%.
Guidance was even more impressive. The company now expects revenue and earnings to grow by 20% during the year. This compares with the company’s previous guidance, which expected revenue growth near or above 7%, excluding acquisitions. The new guidance includes acquisitions, but still represents a large improvement in Keysight’s core growth expectations. The combination of Keysight’s large beat-and-raise allowed the stock to surge in response.
The company noted that it is engaging with all hyperscalers as they rapidly scale their AI infrastructure. As companies look to design and deploy AI networking solutions, Keysight is participating in the end-to-end validation of these systems. Technological development in networking is also driving more testing opportunities. In Q4 2025, Keysight collaborated with Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) to validate its next-generation 1.6 terabit networking silicon and custom AI accelerators.
In the final quarter of 2025, KEYS estimated that AI drove around 10% of revenue. This shows that AI remains a relatively small percentage of the overall business, providing potential for significant growth ahead.
The company also posted record revenue in its Aerospace, Defense, and Government end market, which grew by 18%. Keysight is seeing demand from U.S. prime defense contractors, as well as “robust, broad-based activity in Europe.” This comes as European defense budgets are on the rise.
Importantly, overall orders grew by 30%, well above revenue growth, indicating that demand is accelerating. In Q2 2026, Keysight forecasts revenue growth of 30%.
KEYS: AI and Defense Enabler With Valuation Question Marks
The MarketBeat consensus price target on Keysight sits near $295, a figure that implies only around 3% upside in shares. However, price targets moved up substantially after the company’s latest report. The average of updated targets is approximately $308, implying 7% upside.
At present, Keysight has grown its free cash flow by a compound annual growth rate near 18%, its highest level ever. The company’s current valuation implies that growth will persist at or near this rate for multiple years to come.
While Keysight is operating at historically strong levels, meeting this hurdle will be difficult. The firm’s elevated valuation makes it a somewhat risky play.
Still, the company is sitting at the intersection of two very powerful trends: AI and defense modernization. These factors could prove enough to enable significant gains going forward. Overall, Keysight is an intriguing stock to watch, and one that could present a compelling opportunity should its share price retreat meaningfully. READ THIS STORY ONLINE

Now, Meta is giving a wink back to Broadcom in a development that has clear positive implications for AVGO. Still, there are other negative factors worth noting. What does this news mean for Broadcom going forward?
META and AVGO Confirm MTIA Partnership
For some time, market watchers and analysts have generally believed that Meta is one of Broadcom’s custom AI processor buyers. However, Broadcom itself has never referred to Meta in this capacity during its earnings calls, until now. In Broadcom’s Q1 2026 call, Tan said, “Contrary to recent analyst reports, Meta’s custom accelerator MTIA road map is alive and well. We’re shipping now.”
MTIA, which stands for Meta Training and Inference Accelerator, is a custom chip lineup developed in collaboration with Broadcom. Tan’s statement came after reports that Meta halted the development of its most advanced custom AI training chip, codenamed Olympus.
Notably, Meta specifically mentioned Broadcom in its custom chip press release. The company said, “Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA), our family of homegrown AI chips developed in close partnership with Broadcom, has remained and will continue to be an important part of Meta’s AI infrastructure strategy.”
Markets already generally accepted this partnership, but the fact that both companies are specifically acknowledging this now removes any doubt.
The Good: META-AVGO Partnership Expands Into GenAI
The title of Meta’s post, “Four MTIA Chips in Two Years: Scaling AI Experiences for Billions,” provides direct support for the bullish scenario Broadcom laid out in its earnings. Hock Tan noted that the majority of its customers are moving to develop two custom chips with AVGO a year, the exact pace of development that the post describes. This lends legitimacy to Tan’s statements and the idea that Broadcom is deepening its relationships with customers.
Meta is using MTIA for a variety of purposes. This includes training and inference on its ranking and recommendation (R&R) models. Training is the process of developing more intelligent models, while inference is the process of deploying those models to answer questions and perform tasks.
R&R training and inference allow the company to deliver increasingly engaging content and more targeted advertisements to its users. The company has 3.5 billion users across its apps, or more than 40% of the world’s population. Thus, Meta has huge needs in this space that it is relying on Broadcom to meet.
The MTIA series also extends beyond R&R. The company will use MTIA 450 and MTIA 500 to enable GenAI inference, with mass deployments coming in 2027. GenAI inference likely refers to chatbot queries, video and image generation, and AI business agents in WhatsApp.
Experts have not considered Meta’s LLaMa models state-of-the-art compared to others like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. However, that doesn’t mean they can’t be useful and generate revenue for the company. Notably, Meta AI has over 1 billion users, providing an opportunity to do just that.
For Broadcom, the expansion of MTIA chips beyond R&R and into GenAI is positive. As Broadcom supports Meta’s core workloads and those that are emerging, the logical conclusion is more chip sales.
The Bad: META-AVGO GenAI Training Chip Takes a Back Seat
However, it is also important to note that Meta’s announcement did not include a GenAI training chip. This adds weight to reports that Meta is rolling back Olympus development. Meta’s Chief Financial Officer, Susan Li, also recently made a statement that aligns with this at the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference. She said Meta “expects” and is “hopeful” that it can expand its use of custom silicon to train AI models “eventually.”
This is a negative for Broadcom, which would presumably also be co-developing Olympus with Meta. However, it is good to see that Meta isn’t saying its GenAI training chip ambitions are dead; it still wants to develop them over time. Still, the timeline for Broadcom generating significant revenue through that project may have just become much longer.
AVGO and META: Powering the Growth in AI Inference
Overall, Meta’s relationship with Broadcom is now fully substantiated and appears to be growing significantly outside of GenAI training.
Importantly, many expect inference to overtake training as the dominant AI workload in the coming years. McKinsey predicts that inference will grow by a compound annual rate of 35% over the next five years, accounting for over half of AI compute by 2030.
This supports Broadcom’s outlook, as its relationship with Meta—especially when it comes to inference—is clearly deepening. READ THIS STORY ONLINE
A weak February 2026 jobs report, active inflation, and the threat of oil price spikes and other ramifications of the ongoing Iran war all have the potential to disrupt an economy that many investors are already worried is shaky. Discount retail stores can provide unique insight into the financial stresses facing families in the lower half of the income distribution. Rising sales at these companies can signal that customers are tightening their belts and controlling spending amid economic stress.
In this way, companies like Dollar General Corp. (NYSE: DG) and Dollar Tree Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR) can offer investors insight into pressures caused by the price of essentials like food, housing, and gas. Although discount retailers can thrive in stronger economies—and their performance is, of course, closely linked to operations and company-specific concerns—their performance can also reflect broader consumer spending habits and trends.
Dollar General’s Strong Recent Results May Not Outweigh Anticipated Pressures to Come
Dollar General recently came off a strong Q4 fiscal 2025 (ended Jan. 30, 2026), with revenue climbing by almost 6% year over year (YOY) to $10.9 billion on strong same-store sales improvement of 4.3%. Gross margin also improved by an impressive 105 basis points for the quarter, thanks to lower inventory and a reduction in shrink.
The company’s expansion plans are aggressive, with about 450 new U.S. stores in the works this year, a growing delivery program, and new ventures into digital territory.
Still, despite those positive signs, forward guidance came in remarkably tepid, as the company expects fiscal 2026 to see slowing same-store sales growth (only 2.2% to 2.7% for the year) and net sales growth between 3.7% and 4.2%. The company also does not plan to repurchase shares this fiscal year, which puts pressure on its valuation, given that it already trades at more than 19 times earnings.
While Dollar General is likely to see increased traffic among middle-income customers, its core base—those with household incomes of $50,000 or less—is under severe pressure. It makes sense, then, that shares of DG tumbled by more than 9% in the last week amid the earnings release, as well as 3.6% overall so far this year. Analysts see a little more than 10% upside potential for the stock, but fewer than half of the 30 ratings for DG shares are Buys.
Dollar Tree’s Multi-Price Approach Continues to Succeed, But External Challenges Loom As Well
Dollar Tree also recently reported Q4 fiscal 2025 earnings (for the period ending Jan. 31, 2026), which were also notably strong in several respects. The company’s comparable store sales climbed by 5% YOY, while full-year net sales rose by 10% over the same period. Gross margin improved by 150 basis points, helping to generate about $1.2 billion in cash from operations and facilitating $1.6 billion in share repurchases across the fiscal year.
The company has at least two unique factors distinguishing it from Dollar General. First, its summer 2025 divestiture of the Family Dollar brand helped it to streamline operations, allowing shares to rally by almost 70% in the last year. Second, Dollar Tree’s unique multi-price strategy—which expands beyond its traditional price point to include offerings priced at $3, $5, and $7, for example—has been a success.
About 5,300 Dollar Tree locations, as of the end of fiscal 2025, are utilizing this approach, with multi-price representing about 16% of sales and growing.
Forward guidance was also more modest, with management calling for 3% to 4% in comps growth, between $20.5 billion and $20.7 billion in sales, and earnings per share between $6.50 and $6.90 for fiscal 2026. The reality is that, despite its advantages, Dollar Tree is also subject to headwinds from tariffs, rising oil and gas prices, shifting tax rates, and more.
Ultimately, Dollar Tree may have greater appeal to investors at this point, thanks to its cleaner balance sheet and stronger earnings growth path. There are still unknowns, including the external factors above, as well as the potential continued success of the multi-price strategy as the company continues to implement it on a broader scale. For the time being, analysts are also cautious about DLTR shares, assigning an overall Hold rating, with upside potential comparable to Dollar General. READ THIS STORY ONLINE

Did you know that most training blocks don’t fail because you weren’t fit enough?
They fail because stress accumulates faster than your body can absorb it.
Week 1 feels great. Week 3, everything’s a little harder. By week 5 or 6, you’re feeling worn down, maybe nursing an injury, and trying to get back on track.
We have been going deep on this with David Roche lately, and his take reframed how to think about training.
His core principle is simple: “Training long-term is all about stacking build-up stresses and limiting break-down stresses.”
That’s it. The athletes who finish training blocks strong aren’t always the ones training the hardest. They’re the ones managing stress well enough to absorb more load over time.
Here’s the thing most athletes get wrong about cortisol
Cortisol can have a negative reputation, but it’s not the enemy. Disrupted cortisol rhythm is.
During a hard training block, here’s what should be happening: cortisol peaks 30-60 minutes after you wake up, gradually declines through the day, and is low by evening so you can sleep. That rhythm is what allows your body to recover and adapt.
What breaks it? Late hard workouts. Underfueling. Poor sleep. Chronic stress. Once that rhythm goes sideways, you get the cascade: bad sleep → low motivation → half-effort workouts → stagnation or burnout.
David has a simple proxy for this: do you wake up dreading your hard workout, or excited for it?
Dread = your nervous system is overloaded. You’re doing too much for where you’re at.
Excitement = your body is ready to absorb training stress.
4 Things To Help Your Hard Training Loads:
OptygenHP by First Endurance. It has been used by elite endurance athletes for years—the adaptogens in it were originally used by Tibetan Sherpas at altitude on Everest, which tells you something about what they’re designed for.
The clinical research on elite athletes is hard to ignore: 26% reduction in cortisol, 42% increase in time to lactate threshold, faster glycogen replenishment, and measurable reductions in muscle inflammation.
On the recovery side, consider Nomio. It’s best known for buffering lactic acid, but it’s also incredibly effective for speeding up recovery by activating your body’s natural antioxidant system—meaning less damage from hard workouts and faster bounce-back.
Here’s the science: Nomio delivers isothiocyanates (ITCs)—compounds naturally found in cruciferous vegetables—in a concentrated 60ml shot. One serving is roughly equivalent to about 6 pounds of raw broccoli.
These ITCs activate NRF2, your body’s master regulator of stress response. The result: lower blood lactate during exercise, improved training adaptations.
For a training block, that last piece matters most. Less oxidative stress after hard sessions means you recover faster and stay ready to hit the next one.
Timing matters: take it 3 hours before your hardest sessions (not 1 hour before) to allow your body time to convert and absorb the ITCs. Some athletes also use it post-workout for recovery—both approaches seem to work well.
Sleep is where everything comes together—and most athletes get this wrong during hard training blocks.
When your training load goes up, your sleep needs go up too. But here’s the cruel irony: harder training often makes sleep worse. Elevated cortisol, more muscle soreness, more stress. You lie there exhausted but can’t get the deep recovery sleep your body needs.
That’s exactly what Dream Shot was designed for.
It’s a 2oz drink shot you take before bed—no pills, no powders. The base is 2oz of concentrated tart cherry juice, and PeptiSleep—a peptide that specifically dampens those nighttime cortisol spikes that wake you up at 3am right when your body should be rebuilding.
69% of our initial buyers reported better sleep through more REM cycles.
More REM, more deep sleep—which is exactly when your body is doing the real repair work from that day’s training.
Having a great pre-workout can help energize you for a harder session.Transparent Labs Bulk Pre-Workout sort of hits differently.
Transparent Labs uses clinical amounts of ingredients: 8g citrulline malate for blood flow, 4g beta-alanine to buffer acid so you can push harder longer, 2.5g betaine, 300mg Alpha-GPC for neuromuscular function and focus, and 200mg organic caffeine paired with L-theanine so the energy is smooth instead of spiky.
Over 17g of active ingredients per scoop. Nothing hidden.
For strength training, hard interval days, or any session where you need to be mentally sharp and physically ready—try this pre-workout.
OptygenHP daily → supports cortisol rhythm, helps your body absorb the training stress you’re putting it through.
Nomio before key sessions → reduces lactate 12%, accelerates training adaptations, faster recovery between hard days.
Dream Shot before bed → deeper sleep, less nighttime cortisol, more REM—where actual recovery happens.
Transparent Labs Bulk before hard sessions → gives you the physical and mental output you need on the days that actually count.

Welcome to The Pregame Lineup, a weekday newsletter that gets you up to speed on everything you need to know for today’s games, while catching you up on fun and interesting stories you might have missed. Today’s edition was written by David Adler.
For Venezuela, it was the country’s first WBC championship — a win that meant everything to the team and its fans. As manager Omar López said simply after the game: “Long live Venezuela.”
For the U.S., it was the second straight loss in the World Baseball Classic finals. The United States lost the 2023 WBC championship game by the same score to Japan, and its superstar-studded 2026 team came up just short again in its quest to reclaim WBC gold after winning in 2017.
Let’s relive last night’s epic final. Here are the top five moments of the WBC championship game:
1) Sanoja’s stolen base sets up Geno’s game-winner
Eugenio Suárez’s go-ahead double off Garrett Whitlock in the top of the ninth inning was the play that gave Venezuela its first World Baseball Classic championship. And Geno’s look-to-the-heavens celebration afterwards will be one of the lasting images of the 2026 Classic.
Sanoja, subbing in for Luis Arraez after a leadoff walk, took off for second and just barely beat U.S. catcher Will Smith’s throw. It was shades of Dave Roberts in the 2004 ALCS. Then Sanoja scampered home on Suárez’s gapper.
2) Harper’s game-tying home run
If not for Suárez’s clutch knock, Bryce Harper’s home run for Team USA would be the moment we’d all be talking about today.
With the U.S. completely shut down by Venezuela entering the bottom of the eighth, Harper delivered the team’s biggest swing of the tournament.
Harper smashed a 432-foot home run to center field to tie the game, and his home run celebration — which included Team USA’s signature salute and pointing to the American flag patch on his sleeve — showed what the moment meant to the U.S.
Venezuela closer Daniel Palencia was unhittable all tournament. And he overpowered the U.S. in the ninth inning of the championship game.
Palencia struck out Kyle Schwarber on a 99 mph fastball to start the inning, and he blew away Roman Anthony — who hit the game-winning home run for the U.S. against the D.R. in the semifinals — with a 100 mph heater to end it.
Palencia’s WBC-ending strikeout of Anthony brought back memories of how the 2023 Classic ended for Team USA, when Shohei Ohtani struck out Mike Trout to win the WBC for Japan.
4) Wilyer does it again
Wilyer Abreu came up huge for Venezuela in both the quarterfinal win over Japan and the championship game win over Team USA.
Abreu’s go-ahead three-run homer against Japan helped Venezuela dethrone the reigning WBC champs. And his home run in the fifth inning of the final helped take down the U.S.
The Red Sox outfielder sent a 96 mph fastball from Team USA starter Nolan McLean 414 feet to dead center and even lost his helmet celebrating around the bases.
5) E-Rod pitches the game of his life
Eduardo Rodriguez has a 5.02 ERA over his last two Major League seasons. But the Venezuela starter stymied one of the best lineups ever assembled in the WBC finals.
Rodriguez pitched 4 1/3 scoreless innings, holding Team USA to just one hit and striking out four — including U.S. captain and reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge twice. The veteran left-hander kept the powerful U.S. hitters off-balance to set the tone for Venezuela.
So that was the best of the best of the WBC championship game. But the entire World Baseball Classic was full of incredible moments. MLB.com’s international baseball guru, Michael Clair, has more on the defining storylines of the 2026 Classic.
COLE’S BACK FOR THE YANKS
One of the best pitchers in baseball is back.
We’ve been waiting for Gerrit Cole to return, and the Yankees ace finally did, making his first Grapefruit League start today.
Cole pitched one inning against the Red Sox, allowing two hits but no runs. He threw 10 pitches. The best sign by far was how his stuff looked. Cole’s fastball averaged 97.1 mph and topped out at 98.7 mph. He slider averaged 90.2 mph and his curveball averaged 84.1 mph. Those are all higher than Cole’s averages for his most recent season in 2024.
This was Cole’s first game action since the 2023 Cy Young winner had Tommy John surgery last March. Cole won’t be ready for Opening Day, but he’s expected to rejoin the Yankees’ stacked rotation in late May or early June.
“It’s definitely exciting,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said before Cole’s start. “Obviously, I think everyone’s been excited just how good he’s looked.”
OHTANI TAKES THE MOUND, TOO
Cole isn’t the only ace back on the mound today. Shohei Ohtani is, too, even though he just got back to the Dodgers from the World Baseball Classic.
The reigning NL MVP is already making his Cactus League pitching debut this afternoon at 4:05 p.m. ET against the Giants. You can watch Ohtani’s first start on SportsNet LA, MLB.TV and MLB Network.
Ohtani didn’t pitch for Japan during the WBC this time, he only hit, unlike in the 2023 Classic. But Ohtani did stay on his pitching schedule even while he was away from the Dodgers. He threw four innings of live batting practice against the Samurai Japan hitters last Thursday — and he looked like he was in midseason form, with seven strikeouts.
Because Japan, the defending WBC champion, was eliminated in the quarterfinals, the Dodgers can get Ohtani back on the mound at Spring Training earlier than they expected.
From Thursday through Sunday, for 16 games, you’ll get to see every team’s top prospects facing off against each other.
This year’s rosters include four of MLB Pipeline’s top five overall prospects — Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin (No. 1), Brewers infielder Jesús Made (No. 3), A’s shortstop Leo De Vries (No. 4) and Cardinals infielder JJ Wetherholt (No. 5).
