Kenneth Cheung Elon Musk's X has abruptly moved the “X Pro” feature to its $40 per month Premium+ tier, stoking widespread frustration for users across the social media platform. Formerly known as “TweetDeck,” the feature is widely used by media outlets to monitor breaking news stories across all sectors globally, among other things. The feature was previously available under the Premium plan, which costs only $8 a month. When users asked Musk's AI chatbot Grok about its disappearance on Thursday, it told them, "The Creator Hub table hasn't refreshed yet, causing the mix-up. Upgrade via settings or contact Premium support for details." The unexpected feature change comes as the company continues to explore more options for monetization to increase income for the platform, which continues to struggle for revenue and user engagement growth even after Musk's arrival.

VisualCommunications/iStock via Getty Images Vail Resorts ( MTN ) has seen its share price punished by a lofty valuation along with the 2025-2026 ski season coming in as one of the worst in a decade+. Despite that, the company's intelligent moves for 2026-2027, along with an owned portfolio of top-tier ski assets, position Vail Resorts well to maintain its almost 7% dividend and strong shareholder returns. Vail Resorts Vail Resorts operates one of the most impressive portfolios in the ski industry, with 42 resorts and >2 million pass holders. Vail Resorts Investor Presentation This massive integrated portfolio enables strong synergies as the company continues to work to build an integrated and profitable experience. At the same time, these assets are irreplaceable, with no major ski resorts built in decades. That means as demand grows, it'll be driven to Vail's existing resorts, improving margins in a high fixed-cost business. Vail Resorts Investor Presentation Vail has continued to improve experiences despite the impact of the Park City Mountain labor union strike, one of the company's largest resorts, followed by a poor winter. This was a hurdle, but one that's past the company, and the net concessions from the union fight are not prohibitively expensive. Vail Resorts Investor Presentation Vail has built the Epic Pass model with 2+ million Epic Pass holders driving 74% of visits and 64% of revenue in advance. That enables the company to handle season-to-season volatility better, with the $1 billion in Epic Pass revenue. That's incredibly key to an industry that has high fixed costs, and it's key to Vail's future success. Vail Resorts Financial Results Financially, the company's performance is seen below. Despite a 28% decline in snowfall and a 10% decline in visits, adjusted EBITDA stayed flat. Vail Resorts Investor Presentation Similarly, the 2025-2026 season snowfall is incredibly weak, but we expect the company to be able to handle this. The company's resort re...

Evercore ISI upgrades Knight-Swift to outperform from in line Evercore ISI said shares of the transport company are compelling.

Spencer Platt Volkswagen's ( VLKAF ) software partnership with Rivian Automotive ( RIVN ) has passed a key milestone. The German auto giant said winter testing of the first vehicles using the joint software was completed successfully, which brings Rivian ( RIVN ) closer to the next funding tranche tied to the deal. The development is important for Volkswagen ( VLKAF ) because the partnership is one of CEO Oliver Blume’s central efforts to strengthen the company's software capabilities and close the gap with Tesla ( TSLA ) and BYD Companies ( BYDDF ), while Rivian ( RIVN ) will be closer to receiving its next tranche of funding following the software success. Volkswagen ( VLKAF ) turned to Rivian ( RIVN ) in 2024 because the electric vehicle upstart had developed a more advanced software architecture and zonal electrical design, which VW wanted to adapt across its brands. The joint venture aims to develop a software platform to be utilized with the core Volkswagen brand as well as the U.S. pickup truck business Scout and Audi subsidiary. Shares of Rivian ( RIVN ) are down more than 20% on a year-to-date basis but still trade well above their 52-week low. Short interest on RIVN stands at 11.5% of the total float.

Primo Brands , owner of viral bottled-water brand Saratoga Springs, is likely to gain more ground as it continues to ramp up its retail push, according to Jefferies. The investment firm upgraded the stock to buy from hold. It also raised its price target to $25 from $24, suggesting roughly 40% upside. "Primo Brands offers a rare combination of value, growth, and visibility," analyst Kaumil Gajrawala said Friday in a note to clients. "Having entered '26 on a firmer footing, the story is shifting from stabilization to optimization, bringing the retail opportunity to the fore." Last month, Primo issued forward adjusted EBTDA guidance in the range of $1.485 billion to $1.515 billion for fiscal year 2026. That figure seems "not just achievable but conservative" as "many growth levers are at play," Gajrawala wrote. In early 2025, Primo promoted Saratoga Springs through partnerships with influencers across social media platforms. The marketing effort was a huge success, with one TikToker's elaborate morning routine featuring Saratoga's iconic blue bottle going viral. Primo has also leaned into high-profile marketing opportunities at the Golden Globes, where Saratoga Springs appeared on the red carpet. And another one of its portfolio brands, Mountain Valley, will be visible at the Academy of Country Music Awards this spring, Primo executives said last month on a call with investors on the firm's fourth-quarter results. However, "Primo has yet to scratch the surface on [revenue growth management]," Jefferies wrote. "When executed well, a meaningful growth and margin lever can be unlocked," Gajrawala added. "Levers include pricing closer to consumption, better feature & display execution, pack architecture, and greater exposure to cold. Premium capacity adds incremental growth." He expects Primo's retail sales to grow roughly 2.5% in the coming years, with the company's top line set to accelerate through 2026. "At 10x 2028 earnings, shares do not reflect the earnings power,"...

Braskem SA reported another lackluster quarter and warned it faces a material uncertainty if its shareholders don’t complete a planned debt transaction. Recent events “indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern,” Brazil’s leading petrochemicals company said Friday in a report after releasing fourth-quarter results. Quarterly losses almost doubled from a year ago to 10.3 billion reais, primarily due to a tax writedown, Braskem said in its earnings statement . Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization also fell short of analysts’ expectations due to weaker international spreads and sales. The petrochemical producer has endured several challenging years, marked by repeated failed attempts by its controlling shareholder, conglomerate Novonor SA, to divest following its involvement in Brazil’s Carwash corruption scandal about a decade ago. There’s growing anticipation that Brazilian asset manager IG4 will take over Novonor’s stake after Brazil’s antitrust watchdog cleared the acquisition, which still needs approvals by antitrust authorities in Mexico and the European Union. Novonor’s difficulties have weighed on Braskem’s efforts to recover in a weak global petrochemicals market. The company may need to seek bankruptcy protection within the next few months, according to Valor Econômico, or pursue an out-of-court restructuring to address its rising debt. The company’s adjusted net debt increased to $7.5 billion in the fourth quarter. Leverage was at almost 15 times, stable compared to late September. Braskem kept consuming cash in the fourth quarter, holding $2.1 billion as of Dec. 31. Braskem is also grappling with the fallout from a salt mine environmental disaster, softer prices due to oversupply, and ongoing pressure on cash flow. Liabilities tied to the Alagoas incident — which cost it its investment-grade rating — continue to weigh on its outlook. The c...

Investors should buy consumer stocks in a way to play “policy panic” as the US strives to prevent a recession, according to Bank of America’s Michael Hartnett. President Donald Trump is likely to push for moves that will shield the US consumer from an economic downturn and support his popularity among voters once the Middle East conflict is resolved, the strategist said in a client note. “We assume policy panic to avoid recession,” Hartnett said, as Trump pursues a “post-war pivot to address affordability & slump in approval ratings.” He pointed to potential policy moves around universal basic income to protect workers. November midterm elections that will determine control of Congress are pressuring Trump to counter unhappiness over the rising cost of living, made worse by the oil spike from the Iran war. Polls have shown voters souring on the president’s economic agenda as high costs for housing, groceries and utilities squeeze pocketbooks. Hartnett highlighted US consumer stocks as his “fave contrarian long,” given concerns around inflation and slower economic growth. His call comes as the sector trades near lows relative to the S&P 500 index that match times of market crisis, like the Covid pandemic and the global financial crisis. He also recommended long-yield curve steepeners, which target gains from increased spreads between short-term and long-term interest rates, as an investment strategy that can deal with the post-war policy response. Investor concern over the outlook for equity markets showed up in the latest fund flows data, highlighted by the Bank of America strategists. Outflows from US stock funds hit the highest in 13 weeks in the period ended March 25, at $23.6 billion, they said, citing EPFR data. Elsewhere, European stocks recorded their largest outflow since April, at $3.1 billion. Read more: BofA’s Hartnett Says Consumer Stocks Best Bet as S&P 500 Wavers
