Getty Images Strategy overview A passively managed grantor trust that invests in most of the same 30 blue-chip companies bought in 1935 – or their direct descendants. Key takeaways Equity markets advanced in 4Q25, buoyed by moderating inflation and robust earnings. Technology remained dominant, fueled by accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, while industrials benefited from strong capital expenditure trends, although energy softened after early strength. Broader market participation persisted, with small caps and cyclicals contributing. Looking ahead, investors face geopolitical risks and policy uncertainty. Market leadership is widening beyond mega-cap growth, supported by AI-driven innovation and sustained corporate capital expenditure. Opportunities are emerging in defensives and rate-sensitive sectors, reinforcing the need for nimble positioning amid evolving macro conditions. For the quarter, the Voya Corporates Leaders Trust Fund Series B underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (the Index) on a net asset value (NAV) basis, due to both allocation and selection effects. Market review U.S. equity markets closed 4Q25 on a positive note, driven by moderating inflation and robust earnings. The S&P 500 Index advanced 2.66%, and the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 2.57%. The healthcare and communications services sectors led, while real estate and utilities sectors lagged. Large cap stocks beat small cap stocks, and value outperformed growth stocks. The U.S. Federal Reserve supported markets in 4Q25 with two 25 basis point rate cuts. At its December meeting, the Fed signaled a balanced tone and improved growth and inflation outlook. At the same time, artificial intelligence (AI) remained a dominant theme, with strong headlines around innovation and elevated capital investment by major technology firms. Increased spending on AI infrastructure and adoption trends reinforced optimism about its role as a key driver of future growth. An inves...

US President Donald Trump plans to unveil a website on Thursday allowing people to directly buy prescription drugs, part of his push to address Americans’ concerns about affordability. The president is scheduled to host a 7pm event to launch the site - branded as TrumpRx - at the White House alongside Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz and government design chief Joe Gebbia, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on social media. The website is designed to enable customers to buy certain medicines directly from drug makers without using insurance and at discounted prices negotiated by the Trump administration. Advertisement Leavitt did not say when the site will become operational, or when some of the discounted drugs - which have been announced at a series of recent events at the White House - would actually become available. The administration has touted its efforts to lower the cost of drugs, including by negotiating agreements with more than a dozen of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, including Eli Lilly & Co, Novo Nordisk A/S and Pfizer , often in exchange for a reduction in threatened tariffs. Advertisement It remains to be seen whether the website will significantly bring down costs and entice large numbers of Americans to pay cash for medicines instead of going through insurance.

(RTTNews) - Pizza Hut (YUM) is set to close hundreds of restaurants across the United States as its owner, Yum! Brands, continues to reassess the long-term direction of the struggling chain. During its latestearnings call Yum! said around 250 underperforming Pizza Hut locations will shut in the first half of the year, representing about 3 percent of the brand's U.S. footprint. The company did not disclose which outlets will be affected. The closures come as part of a broader strategic review launched late last year, in which Yum! is evaluating options for Pizza Hut, including a potential sale. Management offered no new details on that process, other than confirming it expects the review to conclude sometime this year. Pizza Hut's challenges persist amid intense competition in the U.S. pizza market, particularly from Domino's. The brand posted another weak quarter, with U.S. same-store sales down 3 percent. Efforts to reignite demand through value-focused offerings, such as a $5 pizza, have yet to gain traction with customers. In contrast, Yum!'s other brands delivered stronger results. Taco Bell continued to outperform, with same-store sales rising 7 percent as frequent menu launches attracted a broad mix of consumers, including higher-income households. KFC showed modest progress in the U.S., posting a 1 percent increase in comparable sales as it leans on menu innovation to regain share from fast-growing chicken rivals. Despite Pizza Hut's ongoing struggles, Yum! shares are up about 6 percent so far this year, reflecting investor confidence in the group's broader portfolio and its willingness to make tough decisions around underperforming assets. YUM currently trades at $161.18 or 1.01% higher on the NYSE. The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.

Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook told employees that he’s “deeply distraught” with the US’s current approach to immigration and will continue pressing the issue with lawmakers. “I’ve heard from some of you that don’t feel comfortable leaving your homes,” Cook said during an all-hands meeting with staff on Thursday. “No one should feel this way. No one.” The CEO added that immigration is especially important to Apple, which has “team members across the US on some form of Visa.” “For as long as I can remember, we have been a smarter, wiser, more innovative company because we’ve attracted the best and brightest from all corners of the world,” he said. “I am going to continue to lobby lawmakers on this issue. You have my word on that.” The remarks expanded on a memo that Cook released last week, when he said he was “heartbroken” by events in Minneapolis, where US immigration agents have killed two people in recent weeks.

He also said he had discussed the matter with President Donald Trump. “Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect,” the CEO during Thursday’s meeting. “No matter where they come from.” After Cook’s initial memo was released, employees privately criticized Cook for his limited and late response to the shootings. The executive also responded to an employee who said during the meeting that they are concerned about being deported and separated from their daughter. Cook said, “I love you if you’re on DACA,” referring to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that allows people who came to the US as a child to remain in the country on a work permit. He said that Apple has hundreds of DACA workers. “I will personally advocate for you,” he said. “I am a huge believer in the program.” During the meeting, Cook also discussed the company’s artificial intelligence efforts and teased upcoming device...

October NY world sugar #11 (SBV24) today is down -0.39 (-2.11%), and Oct London ICE white sugar #5 (SWV24) is down -7.60 (-1.45). Sugar prices today are moderately lower. Over the past month, sugar prices have been under pressure on signs of larger global supplies. NY sugar posted a 1-3/4 year nearest-futures low last Monday, and London sugar dropped to a 2-1/3 year low. Unica reported Tuesday that Brazil's Center-South sugar production in the marketing year through July was up by +8% y/y at 20.753 MMT. Optimism that above-average monsoon rains in India will lead to a bumper sugar crop is a bearish factor for sugar prices. The Indian Meteorological Department reported Sunday that India received 579.7 mm of rain during the current monsoon season as of August 11, 7% more than the comparable long-term average of 481.9 mm. India's monsoon season runs from June through September. Conab, Brazil's crop agency, projected on April 25 that Brazil's sugar production for the overall 2024/25 marketing year will climb +1.3% y/y to a record 46.292 MMT as 2024/25 sugar acreage in Brazil increases by +4.1% to 8.7 million hectares (21.5 million acres), the most in seven years. For the 2023/24 marketing year that just ended, Unica said on April 19 that Brazilian sugar output rose +25.7% y/y to 42.425 MMT. Last Friday, sugar prices posted 1-week highs on positive carryover from last Thursday when India's Food and Commerce Ministry said it would maintain its curbs on sugar exports to ensure adequate domestic supplies and boost India's ethanol output. The Indian Sugar and Bio-energy Manufacturers Association (ISM) on July 3 reported India's 2023/24 sugar reserves at 9.1 MMT and reported a surplus of 3.6 MMT. India has restricted sugar exports since October 2023 to maintain adequate domestic supplies. India allowed mills to export only 6.1 MMT of sugar during the 2022/23 season to September 30 after allowing exports of a record 11.1 MMT in the previous season. Separately, the ISM reported...

They had come to say a prayer for the father, the son and the holy ghost. The father was Donald Trump, who, despite sending federal militias to roam Minneapolis, threatening to invade Greenland and telling lies by the dozen, remains the lord and saviour of the religious right. The son was his protege, Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, who, despite documented human rights violations and mass detentions that swept up 3,000 children, was praised by a congressman for leadership that displays “character” and “conscience”. And the holy ghost was the Republican party’s moral spine, now reduced to a phantom thread. “The power of Trump compels you!” as The Exorcist nearly said. They had gathered on Thursday in the cavernous ballroom of the Washington Hilton hotel for the National Prayer Breakfast, an annual event where past speakers have included Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Bono, Tony Blair and Bryan Stevenson of the Equal Justice Initiative. Trump, of course, can be relied upon to make it feel less a church sermon than a knockabout campaign rally. “Good God!” and “Jesus Christ!” are more likely to be exclamations from horrified onlookers than earnest pronouncements from the truly faithful. In a somewhat slurry tone, the US president, wearing dark suit and purple tie, went on a rhetorical tour of his greatest hits that had nothing to do with either prayer or breakfast. There was the swipe at “transgender insanity”, a rant against bird-killing wind farms, an account of Greenland as “the biggest piece of ice in the world” and a boast that “we have a military where they all look like Tom Cruise only bigger”. There were insults too. Thomas Massie, the Republican representative of Kentucky, was dismissed as a “moron”, and there was the eternal dilemma of whether to call Trump’s predecessor “Sleepy Joe” or “Crooked Joe”. Trump described Barack Obama as “divisive” yet also observed: “I don’t know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat.” There was the obligatory lie ...

Key Points The crypto sector has been sold indiscriminately this week. The sector seems to be struggling in a similar manner to many software stocks. 10 stocks we like better than Dogecoin › Since the close of trading last week, the price of Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) had crashed over 21%, as of 1:56 p.m. ET Thursday. The crypto sector has taken a beating all week, with few cryptocurrencies spared. Mounting pessimism While Dogecoin's network has never had much real-world utility, it is one of the original cryptocurrencies and to this day remains a top 10 cryptocurrency by market cap. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Cryptocurrencies often move in tandem with the sector, which is heavily influenced by Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Bitcoin has been crushed as investors have begun to question whether the token is truly a hedge against currency debasement and inflation. Tech stocks have also struggled lately, and cryptocurrencies can trade in a correlated fashion with this sector as well. There's a possibility that investors are treating crypto like software stocks, which are selling off amid fears that artificial intelligence will significantly upend current software solutions and business models. Blockchain technology has been seen as one of the most innovative new technologies, so it's possible that crypto investors are worried about how future AI will affect it. Volatility is part of the game When investing in cryptocurrencies, one must be aware that this is an inherently volatile sector. Just like cryptocurrencies can soar quickly, they can also collapse quickly, too. While there may be some dip-buying opportunities in the crypto sector, I don't view Dogecoin as one of them. The token has long been a meme token, and its network offers no real-world utility...

Ether, the second-largest digital token, slid as as much as 10% on Thursday to $1,911, hitting its lowest intraday price since May as a months-long rout in cryptocurrencies prices deepens. Down about 20% so far in February, Ether has posted negative monthly returns since September, and is headed for six consecutive months of losses, its longest such streak sine Bloomberg began tracking the token in 2018. The token is down roughly 60% from last year’s peak, having erased around $345 billion in market value. Ether’s decline reflects a broader repricing of risk rather than any single crypto-specific catalyst, said James Harris, chief executive officer of digital asset manager Tesseract. “This has been building for several weeks,” he said, pointing to a sharp tightening in risk appetite across asset classes, including “disorderly” moves in precious metals. Ether’s slump is part of a broader collapse across cryptocurrency markets, with Bitcoin leading the selloff. The largest digital token has slid sharply this month, dragging down smaller peers as risk appetite fades, liquidity tightens and investors pull back from speculative assets. Bitcoin fell as much as 10% Thursday to $65,356, the lowest since October 2024. The rout has wiped out nearly half of Bitcoin’s value since it reached a record four months ago and has spread to other tokens, related ETFs and companies like Strategy Inc. that hold vast sums of coins. “The entire cryptocurrency market is evolving in a climate of generalized decline, characterized by a decrease in total market capitalization, increased volatility, and a weakening appetite for risk,” digital asset data firm Kaiko said in a research note. “This dynamic is all the more concerning as it is accompanied by a contraction in liquidity.” Read More: Bitcoin Drops Below $70,000 as ‘Forced Deleveraging’ Accelerates Markets reacted swiftly to the nomination of Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve , a development investors interpreted as signaling a les...

While the US president’s many mentions in the Esptein files seem to have no consequences, in the UK Starmer could be the first world leader to fall All around Europe, the political and business elite are facing an inquest on what blinded so many to think it was permissible to consort with a known sex trafficker. As the 3m emails and 1,800 photos released on Friday by the US Department of Justice start to percolate across the continent and through to national media, questions about the moral fibre of this elite are starting to be asked at markedly different levels of intensity. Squirming businessmen, bankers, politicians, royals, academics, tech bros and partners in law firms have become entangled in Jeffrey Epstein’s interlocking circles of money, power and sex. It seems there was no one in a position of power that Epstein was not in email contact with, and that there was little limit to what this networking elite was prepared to do in return for a gift, a contact or an invite to a sexually charged party. Elon Musk was right when in July 2025 he tweeted – only to quickly delete it – that “so many powerful people want that list suppressed”. Continue reading...

Earnings Call Insights: Xcel Energy Inc. (XEL) Q4 2025 Management View Robert Frenzel, President, CEO & Chairman, reported that "Xcel Energy expects to invest in excess of $60 billion to modernize and expand the grid, adding advanced transmission and distribution infrastructure, new natural gas and renewable generation and smart, weather-hardened infrastructure" over the next five years.

He highlighted operational milestones, including the start of Phase 2 of the Sherco solar project, the conversion of the Harrington coal plant to natural gas, completion of wind repowerings at Border and Pleasant Valley, and the commissioning of the Rocky Mountain solar project in Colorado. Frenzel announced an updated capital plan that includes "an initial 7,000 megawatts of company-owned renewables, natural gas generation and storage across our states to transition our fleet and build for growth."

Canadian stocks boomed in 2025 thanks to multiple catalysts. American stocks make up under half of global market capitalization -- yet the typical U.S. investor has over 70% of their portfolio in U.S. stocks. This tendency to prefer domestic companies, called "home country bias," isn't unique to Americans, as people everywhere are more comfortable with what's familiar. But with the U.S. accounting for just 25% of the global economy, giving in to home country bias can mean missing out on great opportunities. Last year, for instance, international equities outperformed the U.S. market -- and America's northern neighbor in particular is shining. The S&P/TSX Composite Index, Canada's equity benchmark, rose 28.3% last year, compared to the S&P 500's 16.4% gain. Expand SNPINDEX : ^GSPC S&P 500 Index Today's Change ( -1.12 %) $ -76.97 Current Price $ 6805.75 Key Data Points Day's Range $ 6780.13 - $ 6857.85 52wk Range $ 4835.04 - $ 7002.28 Volume 2.8B The 12-percentage-point beat marks the first time since 2016 that the Toronto gauge has beaten the S&P 500 in a bull market, and some analysts expect the outperformance to keep up through 2026. Why Canadian stocks are having a moment For the last three months, U.S. tech stocks have been essentially flat, as fears took hold that the white-hot rally in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks was rising into bubble territory. Since early November, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has stayed essentially flat, rising just 0.4%. Canada's market doesn't have overvaluation fears weighing it down. While tech stocks make up a third of the S&P 500's value, tech is only the Canadian market's fifth-biggest sector. Tech makes up just 10% of the TSX Composite, which is heavier in banking and natural resource stocks. Financial firms are benefiting from falling interest rates, which at 2.3% are much lower than the 3.5% to 3.75% range the Federal Reserve opted for in its January meeting. This could change on April 29, the next time Fed officials ar...

What a crowded congressional primary in N.J. says about the state of Democrats toggle caption Spencer Platt/Getty Images; Alex Wong/Getty Images; Chris Pedota/USA Today Network via Reuters Eleven Democrats are vying to be the next representative from New Jersey's 11th Congressional District in a special primary election on Thursday. The winner of the Democratic primary will go on to face the lone Republican, Randolph Township Mayor Joe Hathaway, in the special general election in April. Mikie Sherrill resigned from the seat shortly after she won the state's gubernatorial election last November. The special primary contest is one of the first congressional primaries of the year where we will find out what issues are currently resonating with some Democratic voters. Here are some key things to know about the contest: Sponsor Message 1. A labor activist is seeking to upend the race Analilia Mejia, director of the New Jersey Working Families Alliance, has been endorsed by several progressive groups and politicians including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Locally, she has received the endorsement of Ras Baraka, the mayor of Newark, New Jersey's largest city. Sanders, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, campaigned alongside Mejia in January at an event at William Paterson University. "In a moment of rising authoritarianism, of economic insecurity, of state-sanctioned violence, any old blue just won't do," Meijia said at the event with Sanders. "If you send weak sauce to Congress, we will get weak sauce back." Meijia also called for ICE to be abolished at the event. "You can't reform that. It's not fixable," she said. "Get it out. Kick it over. It is done. Forget it." 2. A former congressman, from another district, is aiming for a political comeback Former Rep. Tom Malinowski, has the backing of New Jersey Sen. Andy Kim.

One day after The Wall Street Journal published a blockbuster story about Meta’s own dismal findings about teen girls’ mental health on Instagram, CEO Mark Zuckerberg wondered whether Meta should change how it studies its platforms’ potential harms. “Recent events have made me consider whether we should change our approach to research and analytics around social issues,” Zuckerberg wrote in a September 15, 2021 email to top executives including then-COO Sheryl Sandberg and head of global affairs Nick Clegg. The day before, the Journal published a story based on documents obtained from a whistleblower later revealed to be Francis Haugen, which showed the company’s own research had found that “Thirty-two percent of teen girls said that when they felt bad about their bodies, Instagram made them feel worse.” The subject line of Zuckerberg’s email read: “Social issue research and analytics — privileged and confidential.” The 2021 email was unsealed Thursday after being collected in discovery by New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez as part of a case alleging Meta deceptively positioned its products as safe for teens, when it was aware of harmful design choices that the state claims addicted kids and allowed for child predators to thrive. In the complaint, the AG’s office alleged that disclosing harms Meta identified on its platforms “would have corrected the misleading and deceptive nature of its public statements proclaiming its platforms ‘safe.’” Meta spokesperson Andy Stone told The Verge in a statement that the company “is proud of our continued commitment to doing transparent, industry-leading research. As we have for years, we continue to use these insights to make meaningful improvements, like introducing teen accounts with built-in protections and providing parents with tools to manage their teens’ experiences.” The email is just one example of the kind of internal conversations expected to come to light throughout that trial, and in a series of cases with simi...
