美國傳媒集團派拉蒙，提高收購同業華納兄弟探索的報價後，串流影視平台Netflix宣布，退出收購戰。華納兄弟探索和派拉蒙隨後簽署協議。 美國傳媒集團派拉蒙，日前將收購同業華納兄弟探索的報價，從每股30美元提高到31美元，總作價大約為1,110億美元。華納兄弟董事會星期四通知Netflix，指派拉蒙的報價對公司而言是更有優勢的方案。 Netflix之後發聲明表示，如果將報價從每股27.75美元，提高到等同派拉蒙的最新報價，這項交易在財務上已不具吸引力，宣布放棄收購。 華納兄弟股東將於下個月投票決定，是否接納派拉蒙收購方案。有關交易仍然需要美國和歐洲反壟斷監管機構批准。美國參議院司法委員會將於下月4日舉行聽證會，審議這宗交易。 加州檢察長邦塔表示，這宗交易並非已成定局。他早前說，加州檢察署將會審視任何涉及華納兄弟的交易，因為娛樂業對加州經濟是關鍵環節。派拉蒙承諾，若監管機構反對這宗交易，將會向華納兄弟支付70億美元解約費。

AI agents now carry more access and more connections to enterprise systems than any other software in the environment. That makes them a bigger attack surface than anything security teams have had to govern before, and the industry doesn't yet have a framework for it. "If that attack vector gets utilized, it can result in a data breach, or even worse," said Spiros Xanthos, founder and CEO of Resolve AI, speaking at a recent VentureBeat AI Impact Series event . Traditional security frameworks are built around human interactions. There's not yet an agreed-upon construct for AI agents that have personas and can work autonomously, noted Jon Aniano, SVP of product and CRM applications at Zendesk, at the same event. Agentic AI is moving faster than enterprises can build guardrails — and Model Context Protocol (MCP), while decreasing integration complexity, is making the problem worse. Agentic AI is moving faster than enterprises can build guardrails around them, according to Aniano and other enterprises leaders. And Model Context Protocol (MCP), while decreasing integration complexity, doesn’t help. “Right now it's an unsolved problem because it's the wild, wild West,” Aniano said. “We don't even have a defined technical agent-to-agent protocol that all companies agree on. How do you balance user expectations versus what keeps your platform safe?” MCP still "extremely permissive" Enterprises are increasingly hooking into MCP servers because they simplify integration between agents, tools and data. However, MCP servers tend to be “extremely permissive,” he said. They are “actually probably worse than an API,” he contended, because APIs at least have more controls in place to impose upon agents. Today's agents are acting on behalf of humans based on explicit permissions, thus establishing human accountability. "But you might have tens, hundreds of agents in the future with their own identity, their own access," said Xanthos. "It becomes a very complex matrix." Even as his s...

CoreWeave ( CRWV ) CEO Mike Intrator defended his company's spending plans Friday, the day after the company released a mixed Q4 earnings report and weaker-than-expected guidance. “I understand the concerns that people have as they see us allocating a massive scale of money to this market, but the truth of the matter is, our backlog is enormous,” Intrator told CNBC on Friday . The AI infrastructure company said it plans to spend $30B to $35B this year. Analysts had been expecting expenditures of around $26.9M, CNBC added. Shares of CoreWeave were down 20% Friday afternoon. The company, which went public in March 2025, released its Q4 earnings report Thursday evening. In January, Nvidia ( NVDA ) announced it was making a $2B investment in CoreWeave.

natatravel/iStock via Getty Images Today we are revisiting a name that we bought initially in 2019 and got aggressive on in May of 2020. This was a long-term investing idea at BAD BEAT Investing at a $1.35 basis. We have long maintained a house position in this mid-tier silver name. Typically, we favor companies that can demonstrate organic growth without sacrificing the integrity of the balance sheet. For a long time this has been a challenge for the precious metal miners, we have to tell you. We saw stagnant prices outside of the slow grind higher in gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ), silver ( XAGUSD:CUR ), and base metals, with rising costs of production. That said, folks, Endeavour Silver Corp. ( EXK ) spent the last 24 months attempting to bridge the gap between being a high-cost legacy producer and a modern, multi-asset senior producer. Shares have absolutely skyrocketed on the back of the huge surge in metals prices. While the stock is expensive at first glance, when we consider. The company’s Q4 and fiscal year 2025 results, released just this morning, confirm that the growth has arrived, but it has come with a hefty price tag. Overall, we are neutral on the name. We still hold it, and if prices stay elevated, it will translate to more earnings and justify the share price. Let us discuss. Endeavour Silver Financial and Operating Results While the market is cheering the 115% jump in revenue, we are taking a bit more measured approach as long-term shareholders. The transition from developer to a 15-million-ounce-equivalent producer is notoriously fraught with ramp-up costs and issues, and Endeavour’s Q4 numbers, in our opinion, certainly reflect a company that is currently larger, yet significantly more complex to manage. That all said, 2025 was, by any operational metric, a transformational period for Endeavour (and many other miners too). The company reported record revenue of $467.5 million, more than doubling the $217.6 million seen in 2024. This was driven by a 48% inc...

watch now VIDEO 10:24 10:24 Anthropic trying to put limitations on its AI models 'really has no standing', says Brent Sadler Squawk Box The Department of Defense's clash with Anthropic over the integration of artificial intelligence into military operations, and who sets the limits on usage, reached a peak this week with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth giving the AI company until 5:01 p.m. ET Friday to cede to the government's demands. Anthropic has not budged, to date at least, but the battle between military and industry over AI is just getting started. The Pentagon is colliding with the private companies that control AI in a way that has not been tested in the post-World War II era. On Thursday, Anthropic refused Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's demand to loosen certain safeguards of its models for military use, including mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons, because it violates company policies. CEO Dario Amodei's decision comes after the Pentagon warned it could terminate the partnership if the company refuses to support "all lawful uses." "It is the Department's prerogative to select contractors most aligned with their vision," Amodei wrote in a statement on Thursday. "But given the substantial value that Anthropic's technology provides to our armed forces, we hope they reconsider." The standoff highlights the emerging reality that private firms developing frontier AI may seek to set their own limits on how the technology is deployed, even in national security contexts. In July the Defense Department awarded contracts worth up to $200 million each to four companies — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Elon Musk's xAI — to prototype frontier AI capabilities tied to U.S. national security priorities. The awards signal how aggressively the Pentagon is moving to bring cutting-edge commercial AI into defense work. The urgency is reflected in internal Pentagon planning as well. A January 9 memorandum outlining the military's artificial intellig...

Earnings Call Insights: Natural Resource Partners L.P. (NRP) Q4 2025 Management View President & COO Craig Nunez stated that "NRP generated $46 million of free cash flow in the fourth quarter and $169 million of free cash flow in the full year 2025." He emphasized ongoing challenges, noting, "All three of our key commodities, metallurgical coal, thermal coal and soda ash continued to struggle with sales prices that are near or below our estimates of operator's marginal cost of production." Nunez addressed the ongoing downturn in the soda ash market, stating, "We believe 2026 will be worse" and described the current environment as "the worst bear market in its 60-plus-year history." He revealed a $39 million investment in the Sisecam Wyoming joint venture to support its capital structure and reduce bank debt, which will delay the anticipated increase in unitholder distributions from August to a subsequent quarter. Chief Financial Officer Christopher Zolas reported, "In the fourth quarter of 2025, NRP generated $31 million of net income, $45 million of operating cash flow and $46 million of free cash flow." Zolas highlighted that "our Mineral Rights segment generated $40 million of net income, $49 million of operating cash flow and $50 million of free cash flow in the fourth quarter." He pointed out that segment declines were due to weaker metallurgical coal markets and that soda ash segment income and cash flow also fell from the prior year. Zolas confirmed, "We used the free cash flow generated from our business segments in 2025 to repay $109 million of debt. Even including the impact of our planned $39 million capital investment into Sisecam Wyoming, we remain on track to accomplish our deleveraging goal this year." Outlook Nunez indicated that the timing for a substantial increase in unitholder distributions has shifted: "The $39 million investment in Sisecam Wyoming is one such event and will push the distribution increase we had expected to occur in August back ...

Earnings Call Insights: Alpha Metallurgical Resources (AMR) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Charles Eidson reported adjusted EBITDA of $28.5 million and 3.8 million tons shipped in Q4, closing a year marked by market weakness but improved cost performance. He stated, "Since our last earnings call, we issued 2026 guidance and announced 3.6 million tons in sales commitments to domestic customers. We have since added another 500,000 contracted tons, bringing Alpha's domestic commitments to a total of 4.1 million tons for the year at an average price of $136.30." Eidson highlighted the importance of these domestic commitments for cash flow stability in volatile market conditions. Eidson noted recent coal market movements have been "largely concentrated within the Australian Premium Low Vol index" due to supply disruptions from Queensland flooding, which he described as "isolated and temporary." He warned that "growing oversupply of high vol coal seems to be contributing to the widening spread between low-vol and the high-vol A and B coals. Given our usual quality mix, if the current pricing environment for high-vol persists, it would likely exert downward pressure on our realizations for the year." Eidson emphasized a continued focus in 2026 on "a strong balance sheet and safe, efficient operations as a recipe for success in these challenging times." CFO Todd Munsey stated, "Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $28.5 million, down from $41.7 million in the third quarter. We sold 3.8 million tons in Q4, down from 3.9 million tons in the third quarter. Met segment realizations increased quarter-over-quarter with an average realization of $115.31 in Q4, up from $114.94 in the third quarter." Munsey also shared, "SG&A, excluding noncash stock compensation and nonrecurring items, decreased to $10.9 million for the fourth quarter as compared to $13.2 million in the third quarter." President & COO Jason Whitehead reported operational progress at the Kingston Wildcat low-vol ...

Earnings Call Insights: CubeSmart (CUBE) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Christopher Marr highlighted that fundamentals have stabilized and CubeSmart is positioned to return to growth, stating, "Operating metrics have seen improvement over the last couple of quarters. And now that's beginning to flow through to financial metrics." Marr reported positive move-in rates, with Q4 2025 move-in rates at +2.8% year-over-year, building on a trend of sequential improvement throughout the year. He observed, "The occupancy gap at the end of January of this year improved from year-end when it was down 70 basis points to end January at 88.7%, 40 basis points below January of 2025." Marr disclosed that only 19% of same stores are projected to face an impact from new supply in 2026, the lowest level since 2017, adding, "the magnitude of the impact of this competitive supply continues to lessen as more of the delivery is in that 3-year rolling impact from 2 or 3 years ago." CFO Timothy Martin stated, "Same-store revenue growth accelerated from the third quarter to just shy of flat at negative 0.1% for the quarter," and reported FFO per share as adjusted of $0.64 for the quarter. Martin announced a 1.9% increase in the quarterly dividend, bringing it to an annualized $2.12 per share, and highlighted a new joint venture with CBRE IM with a $250 million mandate to invest in high-growth markets. Martin reported recent share repurchases and an expansion of repurchase authorization to approximately $475 million, noting, "We generated approximately $100 million in free cash flow annually so we could execute under the share repurchase program on a leverage-neutral basis up to those levels." Outlook Martin provided 2026 FFO per share guidance in a range of $2.52 to $2.60 per share. The midpoint of same-store revenue guidance assumes a "generally similar macro environment to last year, a lasting impact from competing new supply in our markets, a continuation of steadily improving competitive pri...

Until 2025, Samsung was the world's largest smartphone manufacturer, and by association, the world's largest maker of cameras. It's still the second largest after Apple.

财联社2月28日讯（编辑 赵昊） 周五（2月27日），宝马集团在官网宣布，公司首次将物理人工智能引入欧洲——在莱比锡工厂启动了人形机器人试点项目。 新闻稿称，该项目旨在将人形机器人技术融入现有汽车的量产流程，并探索其在电池和零部件生产中的更多应用。 去年，宝马集团已经在美国斯帕坦堡工厂实施了人形机器人试点项目，本次试点也是该公司首次在欧洲工厂引入人形机器人，反映其正在押注人形机器人市场的增长潜力。 汽车行业希望利用其在机器人工程方面的专业能力，既开辟新的收入来源，也降低人工成本、提升生产效率。先前大摩估计，到2050年，人形机器人市场规模可能达到5万亿美元。 根据宝马的说法，其计划部署的机器人“AEON”由瑞典公司Hexagon提供，将被用于装配线以及电动车高压电池制造等环节。在这些岗位上，员工通常需要穿戴笨重的防护服。 宝马欧洲试点项目规模与此前在美国工厂开展的试点相似。公司表示，在斯帕坦堡工厂中，“Figure 02”参与了超过3万辆宝马X3的生产，每周工作五天（周一至周五）每天工作十小时。 宝马称，这项工作“对速度和精度要求极高，同时对员工体力消耗很大”。声明特别提到，采用人形机器人的目标是对现有自动化技术的补充，减轻人类员工负担，进一步改善工作条件。 宝马生产主管Milan Nedeljković在声明中写道：“数字化正在提升我们在欧洲乃至全球生产体系的竞争力。”Nedeljković将于今年5月出任首席执行官。 未来，宝马还可能利用人形机器人承担目前由供应商完成的更多任务。宝马流程管理负责人表示，“这让我们有机会把更多生产环节转移到内部完成，” 当下，汽车行业正日益将人形机器人视为升级工厂以及开拓新市场的重要方式。上周，丰田汽车也宣布将在加拿大工厂引入人形机器人。
