JHVEPhoto At its investor day discussing its opportunity in space, French-Italian semiconductor company STMicroelectronics ( STM ) said it is targeting more than $3B of space-related revenue by 2028. Noting that the company has been “at the heart” of Starlink's ( STRLK ) scale-up, SpaceX's ( SPACE ) satellite internet service, STMicro said it sees opportunity in the growing low-Earth orbit broadband market. Currently, there are “several” thousands of dollars worth of STMicro content per Starlink satellite, STMicro said. “The STM32V8’s high computing performance and integration of large embedded memory and digital features were critical in meeting our demanding real-time processing requirements, while providing a higher level of reliability and robustness to Low Earth Orbit environment, thanks to the 18nm FD-SOI technology.” Michael Nicolls, Vice President, Starlink Engineering at SpaceX, said in a statement. The low-Earth orbit serviceable addressable market is forecast to reach around $3B by 2030, roughly four times the size when compared to 2025. STMicro is already offering a competitive Bipolar Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor, or BiCMOS, offering and has moved to offer high-volume Panel Level Packaging, the company said in an investor presentation seen by Seeking Alpha. Starlink's head of silicon, Deepak Bansal, said STMicro's BiCMOS technology has been a “key differentiator” that has allowed for Starlink to develop its terminal. “The technology has allowed us to build [the] most power and area-optimized RF Front-end modules,” Bansal said. By 2028, STMicro said its next BiCMOS generation should have increased performance for the Kuiper bands and above. And by 2030, STMicro believes it can move onto other satellite constellations and other geographies, including offerings from China. Additionally, STMicro said the recent talk of orbital data centers, which has been championed by Elon Musk and others, will be a further growth driver for the company. An STMi...

Shipping activity in the Persian Gulf is increasingly disrupted as commercial vessels steer clear of Tehran’s expanded control zone in the Strait of Hormuz. At least 13 ships have diverted from the area after reports that Iran extended its maritime reach from south of Mount Mobarak to Fujairah, and from west of Qeshm Island to Umm al-Quwain. The change in traffic patterns coincided with a UK Maritime Trade Operations warning about unidentified radio instructions, highlighting uncertainty for vessels operating in the region. The alert has reinforced caution among ship operators already facing elevated security concerns. Transit through the Strait of Hormuz remained largely halted on Monday as tensions intensified, with ships attacked and the US beginning operations to guide vessels out of the waterway. US Central Command said two American-flagged merchant vessels had successfully passed through, while emphasizing efforts to restore commercial movement. Traffic on the Gulf of Oman side has not retreated to the same extent, but the increase in diversions within the Persian Gulf signals deepening concern across the shipping sector.

3 Dead, 149 Trapped Onboard: Track Cruise Ship With Suspected Deadly Virus Outbreak A luxury cruise ship carrying 149 passengers and crew is facing a suspected hantavirus outbreak that has already left three people dead. The vessel is currently anchored offshore near Cape Verde , the island nation in the central Atlantic off the west coast of Africa, as health officials rush to assess the scale of the outbreak. The MV Hondius is currently anchored offshore near Praia , the capital and largest city of Cape Verde. Ship-tracking data show the vessel anchored just off the coast on Sunday after transiting from Argentina, with its prior voyage originating near the Antarctic Peninsula . Track the virus-plagued ship. Hondius's operator, Oceanwide Expeditions, told BBC News that a Dutch husband and wife, as well as a German national, had died but did not reveal the cause of death. However, the Dutch company said hantavirus was confirmed in a 69-year-old UK national who is in intensive care in Johannesburg, South Africa. The main transmission risk of the deadly virus to humans is through infected rodent urine, droppings, saliva, or contaminated dust, especially in poorly ventilated areas. People can inhale contaminated particles when rodent waste is disturbed. Oceanwide Expeditions confirmed two other crew members on board " with acute respiratory symptoms, one mild and one severe. " "It is not entirely uncommon for rodents to hitch a ride on a ship, which would be one possibility ," Charlotte Hammer, assistant professor and infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Cambridge, told the UK Science Media Center. Hammer noted, "People having been infected when the ship last made port in Argentina is another possibility. The last possibility would be human-to- human transmission, which, particularly at scale, would be very unlikely." Bloomberg quoted the World Health Organization, which is "facilitating coordination between member states and the ship's operators for ...

MicroStockHub Cantor Fitzgerald’s latest bi-weekly equity report reinforces a constructive outlook for U.S. stocks, citing a powerful and accelerating earnings backdrop that continues to outpace market pricing. The investment institution highlighted that forward earnings estimates for the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) have been steadily revised higher over the past several months, a trend it views as a key driver of equity performance. Notably, analysts’ projections are climbing faster than share prices, suggesting that valuations may have room to expand if current trends persist. According to Cantor Fitzgerald, this earnings momentum is being fueled in large part by the rapid integration of artificial intelligence across industries, impacting a broad swath of companies that make up the index. The investor report also underscores expectations for continued strength in corporate margins, supported by productivity gains and resilient demand. Despite concerns around elevated energy costs, the firm maintains that the U.S. economy remains sufficiently robust to absorb higher oil prices without derailing growth. Overall, Cantor Fitzgerald sees a favorable environment for equities, with rising earnings and economic durability forming a supportive foundation for further market gains.

Douglas Rissing/iStock via Getty Images Market Overview While a number of broad equity indexes established new all-time highs early in the new year, rumors of war and the war itself weighed on investor sentiment. Relatively benign first quarter declines belie the severity of the selloff experienced following the February 28 attack on Iran by US and Israeli forces. While the S&P 500 Index lost 4.3% for the period as a whole, it was down more than 9% from its peak. Similarly, the MSCI EAFE Index’s decline of 1.2% during the quarter obscures a peak-to-trough loss of more than 11%.1 Impulsive Behaviors Our commentaries in recent quarters have repeatedly called attention to the very low risk perception evident in financial markets broadly, as corroborated by high equity market valuations, tight credit spreads and low implied volatility. As we entered the year, these Goldilocks conditions were not entirely without support. Corporate earnings expectations were strong, economic activity was picking up, and hyperscalers continued to direct massive levels of capex toward supporting their ambitions in artificial intelligence. At the same time, expectations of lower interest rates had investors looking forward to easier financial conditions. The war in Iran has altered the Goldilocks narrative. The primary economic disruption of the attack on Iran was the shock to the global energy supply chain. In addition to assaulting major Middle East energy hubs, Iran quickly moved to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow seaway between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman through which approximately 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply passes along with a large range of petrochemical inputs and end products. Commodity prices responded violently, with oil and LNG prices climbing more than 50% and 85%, respectively. Fertilizer prices, too, have soared just in time for spring planting season in the northern hemisphere; the Strait handles a large share of the gl...

It took six years and a lot of soul-searching for the coach nicknamed Salvador Milagros to return in 2023. After more miracles, he is off again In the final minutes before Villarreal met Copenhagen in December, they came down the tunnel, marched on to the pitch, lined up before the ballboys holding out that starry tarpaulin like firemen waiting for a leap from a burning building, and listened to the Champions League anthem blasting out. Only there was no die besten that night, no grosse sportliche veranstaltung and no grandes équipes either. No lyrics at all, in fact. Someone somewhere had put on the Europa League tune by mistake, so they shifted their feet and looked awkward instead. Then they went out and got beaten again. But that was then and this was now and this time the DJ played the right record and everyone danced, singing along to the chorus, life good again. That was December, before week six in the Champions League, and Villarreal were soon gone. Without a win, having picked up a single point in eight games , they were the second worst team there and eliminated early: the continent’s premier competition, it seemed, was not their place, some kind of musical metaphor in that mix-up. But this was May, five months on, and they had just beaten Levante 5-1, securing the opportunity to go back and try again. They had done that early too. So at the full-time whistle on Saturday afternoon, week 34 in La Liga, the right anthem did go round the Ceramica, and so did the players, setting off on a lap of honour. Above them, message appeared on the scoreboard. “We are a Champions League team (again),” it said. Continue reading...

The US Justice Department confirmed it was investigating potential antitrust violations in the meatpacking industry amid soaring domestic beef prices and a shrinking cattle herd. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche declined to provide additional details about the probe, but said the agency would seek to move rapidly. “There is a lot of work that has been done and a lot of work to do,” said Blanche, who took over as the head of the Justice Department after President Donald Trump fired his first attorney general last month. “We are moving as quickly as we can.” Bloomberg reported late last month that the Justice Department had opened a criminal investigation into how meatpackers including JBS NV and Tyson Foods Inc. purchase cattle from ranchers. That investigation, which also involves a separate probe by the department’s civil attorneys, came after Trump last November ordered the Justice Department to look into the meatpacking industry amid record beef prices. Spokespersons for JBS, Tyson, Cargill Inc. and National Beef didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Blanche declined to answer questions about how the current probe differs from one initiated during the first Trump administration that the Justice Department closed last year . Read More: Tyson Boosts Outlook as Protein Demand Offsets Beef Pain The use of so-called alternative marketing agreements between cattle feedlots and meatpackers, instead of open auctions, has long drawn scrutiny. Such contracts are based on reported spot market prices, but consolidation in the industry — four companies control about 85% of US cattle purchases — has in the past raised concerns from ranchers that those base prices could be distorted, according to the Agriculture Department . But the severity of the current cattle shortage has sent prices so high that meatpackers are losing money on every animal they process, according to data from HedgersEdge. Cattle futures in Chicago reached a record high last week, and US b...
