panida wijitpanya/iStock via Getty Images President Trump will reschedule marijuana as a Schedule III drug under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), a major move that would allow for greater research of the plant, make it easier for pharma companies to develop cannabis-based medicines, and reduce some legal penalties associated with marijuana possession. Axios, citing an administration official, said the reclassification could come as soon as Wednesday. Multi-state operators are surging on the report. Trump's decision, however, would fall short of legalizing marijuana on the federal level. Its manufacture, distribution, and possession would still be considered illegal under the CSA. In December, Trump said he was "very strongly" looking at an Executive Order to reclassify marijuana.

In this article YSWY Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Thomas Trkla, chairman and and chief executive officer of Yesway Inc., during the company's initial public offering (IPO) at the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York, US, on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. Michael Nagle | Bloomberg | Getty Images Deep-fried burritos and chimichangas from convenience store chain Allsup's are helping its parent company Yesway steal customers from fast-food chains, even with higher fuel prices, Yesway CEO Tom Trkla said Wednesday. "A lot of the data that we get from our data providers show that our sales are up and some of their competitors' sales are down," he told CNBC. "We infer that we are taking some market share, both from other c-store chains and from other [quick-service restaurant chains] that sell food and compete with our burrito platform." Yesway made its public market debut on Wednesday, trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under "YSWY." It raised $280 million in its initial public offering, pricing shares at $20 for a valuation of $1.21 billion. The stock began trading at $22 a share. The jump in the stock — and demand for Yesway's food offerings — underscore how the convenience store industry has steadily chipped away at fast food's dominance. In 2025, Allsup's sold roughly 41 million proprietary food products, including 24 million burritos, according to regulatory filings. About two-thirds of Yesway's revenue comes from fuel, while the merchandise sold inside stores accounts for the remaining third. And while fuel prices have risen as a result of the war in Iran, Yesway is still seeing high demand for its food. "People come to our stores, not just for fuel, and that helps a lot too in these environments," Trkla said. "The other thing I should mention is that we're already a value shop ... We actually are already at the $4, $5, $6 price for our meals, so we've actually seen increases of inside merchandise sales." Over the last decade, c-stores have been taking mark...

In this article MSFT Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Daniel Shapero, CEO of LinkedIn and Ryan Roslansky, EVP of LinkedIn and Microsoft Office. Courtesy: LinkedIn Microsoft has tapped Dan Shapero to be the new CEO of its LinkedIn division, succeeding Ryan Roslansky, who has run the subsidiary since 2020 and last year took on additional responsibility in Microsoft's Office productivity group. The change is effective immediately. "Dan has led sales, marketing, and product across the most important parts of this business," Roslansky wrote in a LinkedIn post on Wednesday announcing the change. "He knows our members, our customers, and carries the mission in a way that's genuinely rare." Roslansky, who came to LinkedIn from Glam Media in 2009 to be product chief and six years ago took over the group from Jeff Weiner , will retain his position as executive vice president at Microsoft. In his six years, membership has grown to 1.3 billion from about 700 million. LinkedIn's revenue grew 11% year over year in the fourth quarter, as the business social network has added members and sought to generate more money from each of them. Growth has slowed since Microsoft acquired the company for $27 billion in 2016. Social network operator Meta is more than 10 times larger than LinkedIn by revenue, and it showed nearly 24% growth in the fourth quarter. Microsoft has been busy adding artificial intelligence features across its Office products and in LinkedIn, while also spending heavily on data center infrastructure to provide AI computing power to cloud clients. "The power of economic opportunity and the promise of LinkedIn has never been more important than it is today as the world is transformed by AI and professionals everywhere must transition along with it," Shapero, who joined LinkedIn as a general manager in 2008 after running consulting projects at Bain & Co., wrote in a LinkedIn post . The revamp comes weeks after Microsoft's top-ranking Office leader, Rajesh ...
