Investors in Nutrien Ltd (Symbol: NTR) saw new options become available today, for the April 24th expiration. At Stock Options Channel , our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the NTR options chain for the new April 24th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest. The put contract at the $73.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.75. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $73.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $71.25 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of NTR, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $74.12/share today. Because the $73.00 strike represents an approximate 2% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 57%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 2.40% return on the cash commitment, or 17.51% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost. Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Nutrien Ltd, and highlighting in green where the $73.00 strike is located relative to that history: Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $75.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.60. If an investor was to purchase shares of NTR stock at the current price level of $74.12/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $75.00. Considering the call seller will also collect...

Astera Labs picked up a new bull on Thursday when Loop Capital initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $250 price target. Astera Labs, Inc. Common Stock, ALAB That target implies roughly 110% upside from the stock’s prior close. ALAB opened at $119.00 on Thursday, well below its 1-year high of $262.90. Analyst Ananda Baruah called Astera Labs the company “most representing a diversified AI silicon pure play” outside of Nvidia. The thesis is straightforward: as AI infrastructure gets bigger and more complex, the connectivity solutions ALAB makes become harder to replace. Loop Capital noted that ALAB has exposure across “essentially all Gen AI silicon flavors” — GPUs, Trainium, TPUs, and other accelerators. That breadth is rare among semiconductor names. The firm also pointed to Astera Labs’ COSMOS software and management platform as a potential long-term edge. Baruah wrote that it “could become industry standard,” creating what he described as “moat-like stickiness” with customers. Strong Recent Earnings The initiation comes on the back of a solid Q4 report. Astera Labs posted EPS of $0.58 for the quarter, beating the $0.51 consensus estimate by $0.07. Revenue came in at $270.6M, topping the $249.5M estimate and rising 91.8% fro...

Tesla Loses A Revenue Stream Toyota and Stellantis have pulled out of Tesla's CO2 emissions pool for 2026, filings obtained by Electrek showed on Tuesday. The report says that the two automakers were among the biggest customers of carbon credits in the region Tesla's pool reportedly included the likes of Leapmotor, Ford Motor Co. , Honda Motor Corp, as well as other Japanese automakers like Mazda, Subaru, and Suzuki, besides Toyota and Stellantis. Don't Miss: Toyota believes that it can cut back on emissions on its own, while it expands its lineup with electric offerings like the bZ4X and the recently unveiled Urban Cruiser, built in collaboration with Suzuki. Meanwhile, Stellantis wants to form its own independent pool with Leapmotor, the report said. Tesla and Stellantis did not immediately respond to Benzinga’s requests for comment. A spokesperson for Toyota said, “At this point, nothing has been decided; this is a pool for 2026, and the possibility to join remains open until December 2026.” Trending: Before the IPO: How One Company Quietly Locked Up 500+ Iconic Character Rights Carbon Credits The news comes as another blow to Tesla's revenue stream, which reported losing over $2.7 billion in regulatory credit revenue following the President Donald Trump administration's decision to roll back Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. The automaker has also reported declining sales figures, with Tesla sales falling over 17% in Europe as rival BYD Co. Ltd.'s overseas sales remained strong.

MPs are planning to redact the names of 2,000 parliamentary staff from an official register that has been in place for decades, in a move that experts say will reduce transparency around lobbying by passholders. The proposal has been put forward by the House of Commons standards committee after evidence sessions held in private with staff unions, which raised concerns about the safety of those working for MPs. It would put the Commons out of step with the House of Lords and legislatures in the EU and US, which list most staff members in the interests of transparency. Under the present system, in place since 1993, about 2,000 staff members working for MPs put their names and any financial interests on a register. Parliament had decided to widen the register to about 4,000 staff to include those who have access to the parliamentary online network and may be working in constituency offices. View image in fullscreen Critics say the proposal will make scrutinising staff activities much harder. Photograph: House of Commons/UK Parliament/PA After staff raised safety concerns, the committee recommended redacting the names of all MPs’ staff and replacing them with their job titles, as well as removing from the register anyone who has no financial interests to declare. As a result, people will no longer be able to see how many individuals are employed by each MP, or their names, and any staff member carrying out work for corporate interests will no longer be identifiable. It will also no longer be possible to see which individual staff members are repeatedly accepting hospitality, for example by going on foreign trips or taking up free tickets. In 2023, it emerged through the register of staff interests that Jonathan Reynolds, then the shadow business secretary, was employing someone who worked for HSBC through a secondment, giving them a parliamentary pass. It will also no longer be possible to identify cases where MPs are employing family members of other MPs, after they we...

As US and Israeli bombs continue to rain down on Iran, civilians are enduring the bombardment in the dark – cut off from comprehensive information about where strikes have happened, which medical facilities are affected and where new rounds of bombings are about to occur. As state media broadcasts limited or contradictory information about airstrikes, and evacuation orders from the attacking countries remain invisible to most civilians, the internet shutdown risks worsening the human toll of the war, human rights groups say. The Guardian was able to speak to a small number of Iranians in the country who could briefly connect via VPNs or Starlink terminals. “Information barely gets through,” said Ali*, based in Tehran. “If there’s no internet, we know absolutely nothing. Not about other cities, not even about what’s happening a few streets away.” “There’s this belief going around that this time only military bases are being targeted, not residential areas,” Ali said. “I honestly don’t know how true that is. I doubt it.” Hours after the US-Israeli attack began on Saturday, Iran was plunged into a near-complete internet shutdown, which has now lasted over 100 hours, according to Doug Madory, director of internet analysis at Kentik. Iran’s internet traffic was “around 1% of ordinary levels,” the internet freedom monitor NetBlocks said on Thursday. External data suggests that while some infrastructure has been damaged, the shutdown itself is government-initiated. The current blackout is less absolute than the government’s January shutdown during nationwide protests – domestic internet and internal mobile phone networks appear to be at least partly operational. However, many Iranians remain almost completely cut off from the outside world. That means that while the IDF has been posting evacuation “warnings” on its social media channels about civilian areas in Iran it is preparing to bomb, experts said they were almost certainly not reaching most of the civilians in those ...

In interviews to promote their 16th album, Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook have been upfront about the reason for its existence. After the world shrugged at The Knowledge in 2017, someone told Tilbrook: “‘Nobody is interested in a Squeeze record. What matters is Squeeze’s story.’ That stayed with me,” he says. So not only does Trixies contain a story – it’s a concept-album-cum-musical about a fictional nightclub – but there’s also a great tale around the album. It was written when Difford and Tilbrook were teenagers in 1974 but left unrecorded because they couldn’t properly play the songs they had written. It’s both a new record and something for the fans who always want the old stuff. View image in fullscreen Album artwork. Photograph: PA You can certainly hear the 1974 in it: The Place We Call Mars doesn’t just borrow a planet from David Bowie, it appropriates a vocal intonation and a squealing, Mick Ronson-esque guitar solo. Hell on Earth has more than a little of Sparks in its staccato keyboards (Difford said he originally wrote the music on an RMI piano, as used by Ron Mael). Might the hard-rock tango of Why Don’t You owe a debt to the Sensational Alex Harvey Band’s version of Next, from 1973? It really sounds like a musical. There is a lot of description of what is happening, and plenty of archetypes: the brassy stomper, the rock’n’roll song, the wistful ballad and so on. You can picture them being performed from the front of the stage by a character gazing up at the gods while behind them dancers act out the scenarios. It’s been described as Runyonesque, which is true in the sense that Oasis are Beatlesesque, but the lyrics are written by a teenager – a precocious teenager, yes, but still someone writing about things he had never experienced. Hence the lyrics being a clever arrangement of cliches but not much more, albeit the intricate internal rhymes are already present. They’d all be diverting with a staging behind them, but they lack the drama and hooks f...

[The content of this article has been produced by our advertising partner.] Hong Kong takes decisive initiative amid a shifting global higher education landscape as student mobility diversifies beyond traditional destinations and universities forge practice-oriented partnerships and programmes that build cross-border competencies for a fluid global talent market. The city has amplified the “Study in Hong Kong” brand, expanded institutional collaboration, and aligned policy with institutional strategy to attract a broader mix of students, exchanges, and teaching and research partnerships. Advertisement The successful conclusion of the Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) 2026 Conference and Exhibition reflected and accelerated the transformation of numerous dialogues and sessions into tangible and impactful pathways for mobility, partnership, and innovation. Supported by the Education Bureau of the HKSAR Government, the University Grants Committee (UGC) and the Hong Kong Tourism Board, with The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) as the lead host and the other seven UGC-funded universities as co-hosts, APAIE 2026, drew more than 3,500 education leaders and professionals from across 72 countries and regions, with over 600 exhibiting organisations creating immediate opportunities for deepened partnerships and new collaborations. Advertisement Global partnerships in higher education are essential to sustainable development, a conviction voiced at the conference by Professor Dawn Freshwater, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Auckland: “When universities think and act together across borders, we can solve the world's greatest challenges.” At APAIE 2026, the Presidents’ Dialogue embodied this conviction, bringing 25 university presidents and 45 senior leaders together to explore collaborative solutions and cross-border opportunities. The Hong Kong Government has reinforced this shared vision with bold investments to position the city as an int...

Khosla Ventures and Social Capital veteran, Sandhya Venkatachalam, launches new Seed-stage firm to invest in category-defining AI companies that target the "capacity crunch" SAN FRANCISCO, March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Axiom Partners, an early-stage venture capital firm, today announced the close of its oversubscribed $52M inaugural fund, dedicated to backing "AI for the Real World" - practical applications of AI that unlock real value at global scale. Axiom Partners Founded by former Khosla Ventures and Social Capital partner Sandhya Venkatachalam, Axiom Partners has secured commitments from eight major institutional investors, as well as leading AI executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Nvidia and AMD. The firm invests in startups that use AI to democratize access to skills and resources that have long been out of reach for most of the world — not because the solutions don't exist, but because there aren't enough skilled people to deliver them at scale. This goes well beyond automating existing software, and addresses the global "capacity crunch," which spans both the digital and physical world. "We built Axiom on a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves access to the best expertise and resources — whether in healthcare, education, financial advice, or technology. Every child should learn from the best teachers. Every patient should receive care from the most knowledgeable doctors. Every person should have access to the financial advice that was once reserved for the wealthy. AI makes this possible," said Venkatachalam. "Axiom backs founders that use AI to improve the quality of life of 8 billion people globally, not just the elite 80 million. We call this "AI for the Real World." "Sandhya was lean-in on AI well before it was popular," said Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures. "She finds exceptional, often under-the-radar, founders building potentially disruptive businesses before they are obvious. I look forward to continuing to partner with her."...

Netflix Inc. acquired InterPositive, an AI filmmaking technology business founded four years ago by actor Ben Affleck . The company uses artificial intelligence to help moviemakers perform tasks such as adjusting colors, applying visual effects and reframing shots, and learns as it goes. The tool is designed to be applied to a film in postproduction, not used to create a new one from scratch. Financial terms weren’t disclosed. Affleck will join Netflix as a senior adviser, according to a statement Thursday. InterPositive employs about a dozen people. AI has a growing presence in Hollywood, with studios such as Walt Disney Co. and Paramount Skydance Corp. exploring use of the technology. It’s also created concerns that the tools will put actors, screenwriters and other staffers out of work. Affleck observed the early use of AI in film production and was disappointed, according to the statement. He worked with a small team of engineers and researchers to create a proprietary dataset on a soundstage. “I saw what I thought was a real opportunity and a real authentic danger,” he said. “But mostly I thought this is a really meaningful innovation.” Affleck shared an Oscar for best original screenplay with Matt Damon for 1997’s Good Will Hunting and won best picture as a producer of 2012’s Argo . He produced and starred with Damon in the crime thriller The Rip for Netflix this year.

Getting married changes things when it comes to Social Security.

Getting married changes things when it comes to Social Security. You may become eligible for a spousal benefit on your partner's work record, and you'll probably have two checks to look forward to in retirement instead of just one. But there are also some lesser-known Social Security rules that could affect you and your spouse. Make sure you're familiar with the three below so you're prepared for whatever may come next. 1. There's a length-of-marriage rule for spousal benefits While you're free to claim your Social Security retirement benefit at any time after you turn 62, that's not true for spousal benefits. To qualify for these, you generally must have been married to your partner for at least one year. If you married late in life, you might have to wait before you can claim on your new spouse's work record. There are two exceptions to the length-of-marriage rule. If you are the parent of your spouse's child or you were eligible for Social Security benefits in the month before the month you got married, you can claim a spousal benefit on your new partner's record as soon as the marriage is finalized. 2. You may be eligible to claim on your spouse's record even if you divorce The Social Security Administration permits you to claim benefits on your ex-spouse's work record as long as you were married at least 10 years before divorcing. You must also not have remarried, though it doesn't matter if your ex has. You'll need to provide the Social Security Administration with proof of your marriage and divorce when you apply. If you don't have these documents, the government may be able to help you track them down. 3. Claiming early reduces the survivor benefits your family is eligible for Your spouse and any dependent children you have are eligible for survivor Social Security benefits after you pass away. These are often larger than the spousal benefits your partner is eligible for while you're alive. When you claim Social Security retirement benefits early, you perman...
