What Happened?
A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after geopolitical tensions spiked following a strict deadline set for Iran.
President Trump set a high-stakes deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil shipping route. Investors were worried about a potential military strike if the deadline passes without a deal. The tension also pushed oil prices to their highest levels in years. This could increase costs for businesses, trigger inflation and slow down global growth.
The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Zooming In On The Real Brokerage (REAX)
The Real Brokerage’s shares are very volatile and have had 28 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 26 days ago when the stock gained 2.7% on the news that the U.S. Senate passed a significant bipartisan bill aimed at addressing the nation's housing supply and affordability challenges. The bill, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, represented one of the most substantial federal efforts to impact the housing market in decades. This positive legislative development for the real estate industry coincided with the company's own healthy performance metrics. The Real Brokerage had reported sustained growth in transaction volume and an increasing agent count. This backdrop of industry-wide optimism was further supported by other strategic activities in the sector, including notable acquisitions and investments, suggesting a dynamic market environment.
The Real Brokerage is down 33.7% since the beginning of the year, and at $2.45 per share, it is trading 54.6% below its 52-week high of $5.38 from August 2025. Despite the year-to-date decline, investors who bought $1,000 worth of The Real Brokerage’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,294.
