Hong Kong’s hotels and tourist-area restaurants reported robust business during the Lunar New Year holiday, even as a surge in outbound travel by residents underscored the city’s increasingly visitor-driven festival economy. An industry leader said the city had also seen more mainland tourists partly because of ongoing diplomatic tensions between China and Japan.

littleny/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The Unthinkable Might Finally Happen Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (NYSE: MSGS ) is a unique small-cap company that allows shareholders to own a piece of professional US sports. The stock encompasses equity ownership of both the NBA's New York Knicks and the NHL's New York Rangers . There aren't many other opportunities to do this, with the Atlanta Braves Holdings, Inc. ( BATRK ) being the other often owned and written about opportunity. Some news on the recent announcement : MSG Sports, in part following activist shareholder pressure, is exploring a spin-off of the NBA’s Knicks and NHL’s Rangers into two separate, publicly traded companies. The James Dolan–led entity said Wednesday that it is looking into the move and whether it would provide “enhanced strategic and financial flexibility,” though there is no certainty it will happen and no defined timetable for a decision. “Both the Knicks and Rangers are premier teams in their respective leagues, with storied histories and large and passionate fan bases,” Dolan, MSG Sports executive chairman and CEO, said in a statement. “We believe this proposed transaction would provide each company with enhanced strategic flexibility, its own defined business focus, and clear characteristics for investors.” The formal exploration of the spin-off arrives nearly eight months after activist investor Boyar Value Group pressured MSG Sports to do this , arguing that the full value of the Knicks was particularly trapped in the current corporate structure. Investors in this stock have seen value for years. Two of the most valuable franchises in their respective leagues are being sold at a discount to comps. However, they had little faith that ownership and CEO James Dolan would budge and split apart the two companies to make them marketable.

中環海濱即日起有新的臨時通道啟用，連接中環碼頭至國際金融中心(ifc)商場，路程較原來的行人天橋，步行多約兩分鐘。 連接國金商場至中環碼頭的行人天橋，自07年起啟用至今近19年，服務告一段落，天橋周三晚起封閉，即將展開拆卸工程。 連接商場一面的入口已經圍上木板，標示了旁邊的臨時通道，位於正在興建的新商場大樓內。 由起步計，行人可以使用扶手電梯、升降機或樓梯，先上一層，然後是長約300米的室內通道，全日開放，配備了冷氣系統，去到連接中環碼頭部分路段，採用半開放式設計，走勻全程需要大約六分鐘。 臨時行人通道半開放式部分，樓底比原有天橋高，整體步行時間需多約兩分鐘。 有市民表示，使用新通道比起行人天橋舒適。 譚小姐指︰「通道內有鏡、有椅子，感覺好像進入時光隊道，以前行走(天橋)會很熱很辛苦，感覺少少不同，有冷氣舒服點，一家大小和旅客等可以停留一會。」 鄭小姐表示︰「好像(路程)長了，裡面很冷，剛才有冷氣機漏水。」 內地遊客曾女士說︰「裡面有很多關於香港的介紹，我們走出來看見摩天輪，感覺煥然一新，對小朋友一路也不會曬太陽，很好，很漂亮。 」 有在碼頭開業多年的攝影畫廊店主表示，見證了中環海濱的變遷。 商戶黎先生稱︰「我記錄了這條舊橋，由它還沒有興建的時候，拍它的不同角度 ，可以懷念，但大家都要向前看。」 預計新商場明年落成後，臨時行人通道部分路段會改建成多功能綠化海景平台。

Sandwish/iStock via Getty Images Introduction Paychex ( PAYX ) was long seen as a stable, growing business in the human capital management (HCM) space that was built on sticky business clients, recurring payroll revenues, and operating margins north of 40%. For years, its scale, regulatory expertise, and bundled HR solutions created a durable moat that justified premium valuation multiples. But as growth starts to lean more on acquisitions and as AI begins to commoditize parts of its business, I think investors are forced to ask a tougher question: is Paychex still the defensive cash machine it once was, or is its competitive advantage quietly clocking out? Credit where it’s due, the business is holding its own Q2'26 expectations were already low for Paychex, and so the company surpassed them across all major metrics. On the top line, revenues of $1.56 billion were 18% higher compared to last year, right in line with consensus expectations. On the bottom line, EPS of $1.26 was 12 cents higher compared to last year and 3 cents above sell-side estimates. Seeking Alpha When we look at what drove results this quarter, the biggest thing to point out was in the Management Solutions business that grew 21% to $1.2 billion; the company had decent product penetration and price realization, but that was partially offset by a softer revenue per client. But most of that wasn’t organic, as the Paycor acquisition contributed roughly 17% to that increase. In April last year, Paychex bought Paycor in a $4.1 billion transaction at a 15.7x EV/EBITDA multiple, well above where Paychex itself trades today. Paycor is similar to Paychex in that it provides HCM software like payroll and HR but Paycor has more of a focus on small and mid-market customers, and the deal rationale was mostly around cross selling opportunities that would allow Paychex to deliver its PEA, ASO, and retirement solutions services to Paycor customers. In the company’s other segment, PEO and Insurance Solutions, reve...

Fourth quarter revenue of $228.1 million increased by $79.3 million or 53% ascompared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to the increase of grossearned premium, ceding commission income, and a reduced premium cession raterelated to quota share reinsurance following our recent renewal, as covered indetail in the second quarter's letter to shareholders.

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi (L) takes a group photo with AI company leaders including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (C) and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei (R) at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi on February 19, 2026. Ludovic Marin | Afp | Getty Images OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei had an awkward moment on Thursday as they chose not to hold hands during a group photo of political and tech leaders. They were on stage at the India AI Impact Summit, alongside Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, among others. Both had been keynote speakers. Modi had lifted Altman and Pichai's hands before an applauding crowd, with others following suit. However, Altman and Amodei, who were next to each other, raised their fists instead of holding hands with one another. It comes as competition intensifies between ChatGPT maker OpenAI and Claude maker Anthropic, with both vying for their models to become the default choice for consumers globally. The companies have also recently traded shots over the potential use of adverts in AI models. The image of Altman and Amodei opting out of holding hands quickly made the rounds on social media. Siddharth Bhatia, cofounder of AI startup Puch AI, posted on X: "When AGI? The day Dario and Sam hold hands." Justine Moore, an investing partner at Andreesen Horowitz, shared a picture with the words: "When you're forced to do a group project with your opp." Last month, Anthropic released Super Bowl commercials that poked fun at OpenAI's plan to start testing ads for free users and ChatGPT Go subscribers in the U.S. Altman called the ads "clearly dishonest," saying: "I guess it's on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren't real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it." Anthropic's chief customer officer, Paul Smith, later told CNBC that it was focused on growing its business rather than making "flashy headlines," in a veiled ...
