chameleonseye/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Starboard’s stake in Tripadvisor ( TRIP ) may prompt the company to pursue value-unlocking strategies across its portfolio, including potentially spinning off Viator and TheFork as separate businesses. Together, these units could be worth around $2.5 billion—nearly twice the company’s current enterprise value. Accordingly, BofA Securities upgrades Tripadvisor ( TRIP ) to Buy from Neutral with a new $15 price target to reflect the potential for Viator and The Fork to trade as separate businesses away from the parent company’s declining hotel meta-search business. Analyst Nafeesa Gupta believes board changes will help facilitate this action. In a letter to the Tripadvisor ( TRIP ) board in February, activist investor Starboard Value criticized the company’s leadership, slow adoption of artificial intelligence, and failure to unlock maximum value for shareholders. “In a period of such rapid innovation and change, and with such an advantaged position, Tripadvisor appears to be squandering its lead,” Starboard’s letter said. To appease the fund, Tripadvisor ( TRIP ) agreed to add four Starboard-nominated directors to the board to “support the company’s value creation efforts.” “With greater involvement of activist investor Starboard Value, we think strategic sale exploration of part of the business or entirety of the business could be on the horizon. Our analysis indicates Tripadvisor's two growth assets, Viator and The Fork, are worth more than Tripadvisor’s entire current enterprise value when valued independently,” Gupta writes in a note to clients. Risks remain, however, and Gupta warns that disruption from agentic AI, execution challenges, timing risks, competitive intensity, and the risk that the ongoing deterioration in the Hotels & Other segment will continue to drag down results could delay or erode the value of a transaction involving its faster-growing segments. Gupta’s sum-of-the-parts valuation implies a price ...

zhengzaishuru/iStock via Getty Images By Kelvin Wong The price actions of the West Texas Oil CFD (a proxy of the WTI crude oil futures) have staged the expected minor corrective pullback of 17% from its key $102.25 near-term range resistance after a retest on Monday, 23 March 2026, at the start of the London session to hit an intraday low of $85.50 at mid-London session on the same day due to US P...
zhengzaishuru/iStock via Getty Images By Kelvin Wong The price actions of the West Texas Oil CFD (a proxy of the WTI crude oil futures) have staged the expected minor corrective pullback of 17% from its key $102.25 near-term range resistance after a retest on Monday, 23 March 2026, at the start of the London session to hit an intraday low of $85.50 at mid-London session on the same day due to US President Trump’s “optimistic claims” that US and Iran are in the process of negotiating an immediate ceasefire deal. Thereafter, the West Texas Oil CFD traded sideways above its 20-day moving average as Iran rejected the US's ceasefire proposal and continued to strike the Gulf states’ key installations as the US-Iran war entered its 28th day. In addition, conflicting messages are being sent out from the US White House Administration. US President Trump has extended by 10 days his pledge to refrain from attacks on Iranian energy-producing sites and added that the “negotiation talks are going very well”. On the other hand, the Wall Street Journal has reported that the Pentagon is considering sending additional troops, as many as 10,000, to the Middle East, on top of the already deployed 2,000 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division. Hence, increasing the odds of a US ground invasion into Iranian soil as soon as this weekend. Right now, several technical factors are suggesting the potential start of a new bullish up move sequence for West Texas crude oil at this juncture. WTI calendar spread remains in negative territory Fig. 1: WTI crude oil term structure (12-month forward minus spot rate) as of 27 Mar 2026 (Source: MacroMicro) The WTI crude oil calendar spread, defined as the difference between the 12-month forward price and the spot price, serves as a gauge of the market’s structural conditions. A positive spread (contango) reflects a typical environment where futures trade at a premium to spot, factoring in storage and transportation costs. In contrast, a negative spread...

Shoreditch Town Hall, London Orpha Phelan’s fun but confusing staging for the London Handel festival aligns the opera’s characters with recognisable famous figures. Fine singers and players led by Laurence Cummings ensure consistent musical excellence Tamerlano hails from 1724, the same year as Giulio Cesare and Rodelinda. If it fails to match their level of musical invention, it arguably boasts a richer emotional palette with three-dimensional characters buffeted by love, lust and the desire for retribution. A palpable hit in its day, the defeated Turkish sultan, Bajazet was one of the first leading roles ever written for a tenor. There were plum opportunities as well for two of the era’s megastars: Francesca Cuzzoni as Bajazet’s daughter Asteria and the great alto castrato Senesino as the plot’s endlessly conflicted pivot, the Greek prince Andronico. The action takes place at the court of the despotic emperor Tamerlano to where the stubborn Bajazet has been brought in chains. The tyrant has the hots for Asteria and so decides to dump his betrothed, Irene, Princess of Trebizond. His not-so cunning plan involves offering Irene’s hand to Andronico, but alas, Andronico too loves Asteria. With both Bajazet and Andronico constantly threatening to end it all, and Asteria hell bent on assassinating Tamerlano, it’s a miracle the opera ends with an implicit double wedding instead of a bloodbath.
