Astronomer HR chief Kristin Cabot appears to be married to CEO of Privateer Rum -- and bought a house with him just five months ago: records
Property records obtained by The Post show that the 52-year-old Cabot, whose maiden name is Stanek, has shared a Rye, New Hampshire address with Andrew Cabot — the chief executive of Privateer Rum, a Massachusetts-based booze maker — since at least 2023.
Privateer Rum's website lists Andrew Cabot as its CEO and COO of the company. His bio says his 'ancestor, the original Andrew Cabot (1750-1791), was a merchant, rum distiller and successful American privateer during the American Revolution.'

After being listed as co-residents at one address in Rye, Andrew and Kristin Cabot bought the two-story, four-bedroom New Englander-style house — located just minutes from the Atlantic coast — in February for $2.2 million, the records showed.
While Kristin and Andrew Cabot share a last name and appear to jointly own the home, The Post could not confirm immediately when or where their apparent marriage took place.

'Responsible for the vision and strategy, Andrew works closely with the team he assembled to produce one of the finest rums in in the world,' Privateer's website says. 'One simple question has focused Andrew throughout his career in technology, and time in public education and academia– 'how can we do this better?'
Elsewhere, ad copy for the brand — whose high-end bottles can retail for upwards of $100 each — pitches its strict use of authentic ingredients and 'Made in the USA' pedigree.

Ahead of the event, analysts expect ADI to report an adjusted EPS of $1.93, up 22.2% from $1.58 reported in the year-ago quarter.

For the full fiscal 2025, analysts expect Analog's EPS to come in at $7.40, up nearly 16% from $6.38 reported in fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2026, its earnings are expected to surge 18.9% year-over-year to $8.80 per share. ADI stock has dropped nearly 1% over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 14.5% surge and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLK) 15.6% returns during the same time frame. Despite delivering impressive results, ADI stock prices dropped 4.6% in the trading session following the release of its Q2 results on May 22. The company's revenues for the quarter soared 22.3% year-over-year to $2.6 billion, coming in at the high end of its guidance. Further, its EPS increased 32% year-over-year to $1.85, surpassing the Street's expectations by 9.5%. However, its Q3 revenues guidance of $2.75 billion (midpoint) fell below several estimates, and the company expects the second half of 2025 to be marked with a slowdown in automotive demand, which raised investor concerns. Nevertheless, analysts remain optimistic about ADI's long-term prospects, and the stock holds a consensus 'Moderate Buy' rating overall. Of the 32 analysts covering the stock, opinions include 21 'Strong Buys,' two 'Moderate Buys,' and nine 'Holds.' Its mean price target of $258.76 suggests a 13.5% upside potential from current price levels.

Subscribe today! For the full fiscal 2026, analysts expect TJX's EPS to come in at $4.47, up 4.9% from $4.26 reported in fiscal 2025. In fiscal 2027, its earnings are expected to further surge 10.1% year-over-year to $4.92 per share. TJX stock prices have gained 11.4% over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 14.5% surge and the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLY) 19.9% returns over the same time frame. Despite beating Street expectations, TJX Companies' stock prices dropped 2.9% in the trading session following the release of its Q1 results on May 21. Driven by an increase in customer transactions, the company's comparable sales increased 3% year-over-year. This led to a 5.1% growth in net sales to $13.1 billion, beating expectations. Further, its EPS of $0.92 surpassed the consensus estimates by 2.2%. However, due to higher SG&A expenses and cost of sales, TJX's margins suffered during the quarter. Further, operating cash flows dropped 46.5% year-over-year to $394 million, due to increased inventory levels. At the end of Q1, its merchandise inventory stood at $7.1 billion, up from $6.2 billion in the year-ago quarter. While this might be a result of TJX trying to beat tariffs, increasing inventory in apparel may lead to inventory becoming obsolete. Nonetheless, the consensus view on TJX remains extremely optimistic, with a 'Strong Buy' rating overall. Of the 21 analysts covering the stock, 18 recommend 'Strong Buy,' one suggests 'Moderate Buy,' and two advise a 'Hold' rating. Its mean price target of $144.18 represents a 14.1% premium to current price levels.

One of Wall Street's biggest bulls sees tech powering an 11% gain in stocks through the rest of 2025
The S&P 500 is on track to rise another 11% by year-end, Wells Fargo's Chris Harvey says. Harvey predicts the S&P 500 will pass 7,000 by December, making him one of Wall Street's biggest bulls. That's largely because tech stocks will keep winning amid a strong macro backdrop, he said. The US stock market looks like it's going to keep powering through to new records, says one of the biggest bulls on Wall Street. Christopher Harvey, the chief US equity strategist at Wells Fargo, predicts that the S&P 500 will reach 7,007 by the end of the year. His forecast — now one of the most optimistic on Wall Street — implies the benchmark index climbing another 11% from its current levels, or a 19% gain for the year. Speaking to Bloomberg about his thesis on Monday, Harvey pointed to a handful of reasons that would keep the market climbing higher: AI boom. Mega-cap tech stocks will likely keep climbing higher, Harvey said. He brushed off concerns that the hype over artificial intelligence resembled the dot-com bubble in the 1990s, noting that many companies today have stronger fundamentals. Large-cap tech and AI stocks have been on a tear since their low in early April, shortly after President Donald Trump announced his Liberation Day tariffs. The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF is up 41% from its April 8 low. "What we're seeing is the winners continue to win. The uber-cap companies have the higher margins, are gaining more market share. There is a real secular trade in AI that will continue," Harvey said. Strong mergers and acquisition activity. Dealmaking has remained relatively strong on Wall Street, another factor that should support the market, Harvey said. Strategic M&A activity was up 11% year-over-year from January through May, according to an analysis from the consultancy Bain & Company. "We think that M&A will continue to be very, very healthy up and down the capitalization," Harvey added. The US consumer remains strong. Americans keep spending, despite concerns that tariff-related price increases could shut off an important engine of the economy. Consumers ramped up their spending more than expected last month, with retail sales rising 0.6%, according to the US Census Bureau. The Fed is likely to cut interest rates. The central bank looks on track to eventually lower interest rates despite hesitation stemming from President Donald Trump's tariffs in recent months. Investors are pricing in two or three rate cuts from the Fed by the end of 2025, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Those bullish factors override any concerns investors have over the market, Harvey said, pointing to concerns about the impact of tariffs and Trump's escalating feud with Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Investors are worried that tariffs could raise inflation while hampering economic growth, and that Trump could interfere with the Fed's independence, which could stoke inflation down the line. "We had seen Trump 1.0. We know his style," Harvey said, referring to the belief that the president goes hard on his policies before softening his tone. Harvey was one of the few strategists on Wall Street who stuck to his original S&P 500 target for the year, even during the historic sell-off in April as Trump unveiled his slate of tariffs. Forecasters like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan lowered their stock forecasts and lifted their recession odds, before reversing once Trump paused most tariffs.
