Time has never seemed to slow the US skiing star down. Entering Sunday’s Olympic downhill medal race, a ‘100% gone’ ACL hasn’t either It was all going a little too easy for Lindsey Vonn, wasn’t it? All of the nervous apprehension, the paternalistic concern, the arch skepticism and hushed snickers that had rippled through the sports world when she announced her comeback from a six-year retirement had long since gone silent. A once-unthinkable fairytale ending at the age of 41 on the slopes of Cortina d’Ampezzo was practically within touching distance. Back in November 2024, having been chased from the sport in 2019 by a battered right knee worn down by a string of gruesome crashes and multiple surgeries, Vonn proposed a return to a high-risk sport where no woman had ever won a race past 34. There’s a history of comebacks like these going brutally wrong and even Vonn’s most dedicated fans were bracing themselves for the worst. Think Louis getting battered through the ropes and on to the ring apron by Marciano. Or Borg returning to the tour in the early 90s with a wooden racket, defiantly flailing through a sport that had moved on without him. Continue reading...

Trump formally announced plans to launch a $12 billion critical minerals stockpile, in his latest effort to aid manufacturers while minimizing reliance on Chinese rare earths. Bonnie Cash | Bloomberg | Getty Images The Trump administration's portfolio of equity stakes in U.S. companies has reached a scale that is unprecedented outside economic crisis or wartime. The administration has taken stakes or has agreements to do so with at least 10 companies , most of which are publicly traded. The government announced its latest investment , USA Rare Earth , at the end of January. Democrats have also considered taking stakes in U.S. industries in the past. But the Trump administration's approach carries risks both for the companies involved and for the broader markets in which they operate. "It is a invisible barrier to startups and new market entrants," said Scott Lincicome, an international trade lawyer affiliated with Cato Institute. "Why would you ever want to enter a market that you know your chief competitor is backed by the U.S. government?" Many of the investments are in smaller critical mineral companies, like USA Rare Earth and MP Materials , but they also include big industrial and tech companies such as U.S. Steel and Intel . Top administration officials like Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum have argued that the U.S. government is investing in strategic industries to reduce dependence on Tawain in the case of semiconductors and China for critical minerals . Historically, the U.S. has taken equity stakes in companies in the context of bailouts with the understanding that the investments were temporary an...

Leah Millis | Reuters The Trump administration has made unprecedented equity investments and obtained other stakes in at least 10 companies over the past year. Many are in critical mineral companies as the White House plots a strategy to directly back mining companies to build a domestic supply chain and reduce dependence on China. But the investments also include chipmakers and possibly a nuclear reactor company. In the case of U.S. Steel, the administration has taken a governance stake rather than a direct economic interest. The number of investments is extraordinary outside of wartime or an economic crisis, said Scott Lincicome, a trade lawyer and a researcher at the libertarian Cato Institute. And the administration's portfolio could keep growing. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC last August that the government could take stakes in major defense suppliers , such as Lockheed Martin . In the past, the U.S. has taken temporary stakes in companies in the context of bailouts, said Peter Harrell, who served as the senior director for international economics under President Joe Biden. "With these companies, it's a very different thesis," Harrell said. "The government is kind of acting as a strategic investor to put capital into these companies so that these companies can achieve both a commercial return but also, at least in theory, some kind [of] national purpose." U.S. Steel President Trump secured a "golden share" in U.S. Steel as a condition for approving Nippon Steel's acquisition of the historic manufacturer. The golden share is a governance stake that gives the president veto power over key business decisions. It is not a direct economic stake in U.S. Steel. The president can veto decisions to close, idle or sell U.S. Steel plants. He can also bl...

多位中英工商界人士表示，中英经贸关系正在回暖，双方态度也更趋向务实。 当地时间6日晚间，英国48家集团“破冰者”新春晚宴在伦敦举行。 在全球贸易不确定性上升的背景下，这一连续举办多年的活动，被视为观察中英经贸走向的重要窗口。在活动现场，多位中英工商界人士向第一财经记者表示，今年以来，中英经贸关系正在回暖，双方态度也更趋向务实。 48家集团主席杰克·佩里（Jack Perry）告诉第一财经，近期中英高层互动为双方关系提供了新的契机，有助于增强企业界对中英经贸合作的信心。 从“气氛改善”到“信心修复” 多位英国商界人士在采访中对中国在全球经济中的角色给出了相对一致的判断。保诚集团候任主席范智廉爵士（Sir Douglas Flint）在接受第一财经记者采访时表示，尽管近期全球市场波动加剧，但中国在制造业、创新、能源转型以及低碳经济领域依然处于领先位置，在新技术和新经济板块中的作用“极其重要”。在他看来，无论是机器人、新能源汽车，还是医疗健康和制药产业，中国都已成为全球产业链中不可忽视的一环。 范智廉同时提到，近期中英关系出现的积极变化，尤其是人员往来和高层互动，为企业层面的合作提供了更清晰的预期。他强调，企业真正看重的在于是否能够在一个可对话、可持续的环境中开展业务。 这一判断也得到其他英国企业代表的呼应。杰克·佩里表示，近期中英关系的变化，让英国企业在心理层面“更加舒适”，当企业感受到确定性回升时，便会更愿意主动接触中国市场、探索新的合作机会。 新能源与制造业机会受关注 新能源与绿色转型，是当晚两国工商业人士讨论热度最高的领域之一。英国最大能源企业之一章鱼能源（Octopus Energy）首席执行官格雷格·杰克逊（Greg Jackson）表示，中国在可再生能源、电池和电动交通领域的技术进步，正在显著降低全球能源转型成本；对英国而言，与中国在这些领域展开合作，有助于在保障能源安全的同时，实现更低成本、更高效率的能源体系。 杰克逊向第一财经记者透露，章鱼能源已在中国与多家企业开展合作与试点项目，并希望未来在新能源系统优化、电力市场机制等方面进一步深化合作。 汽车产业同样成为中英双方关注的重点。比亚迪（英国及爱尔兰）国家经理葛洪德在采访时表示，比亚迪在英国市场已完成初步布局，正进入加速发展阶段。目前英国门店数量已超过百家，下一步将继续扩展销售与服务网络，同时推进高功率充...

格隆汇2月7日｜美国驻叙利亚特使：美国赞扬沙特与叙利亚的投资协议。

The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) promises to add tremendous value to the economy by increasing worker productivity, accelerating product development, and providing a greater variety of services for consumers and businesses. It spells a lucrative opportunity for investors, with Statista projecting the AI market to increase fourfold to $826 billion by 2030. Here are two profitable AI software companies that should be relatively safe bets for the next 10 years. 1. Palantir Technologies Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) is a leading AI software builder that is used by major corporations and the U.S. government. Its latest financial results continue to point to a large opportunity that could deliver handsome returns to shareholders. After experiencing a slowdown in growth amid macroeconomic headwinds last year, the company is starting to see accelerating revenue again. Revenue grew 27% year over year in the second quarter, driven by balanced growth from commercial deals and the government. Organizations are spending more money with Palantir because it helps them improve operating efficiency and quicken the time to market with new products, all while keeping their data secure. Palantir distinguishes itself from competitors by targeting projects where it adds the most value, such as expensive and complex projects that other companies are unwilling to tackle. Palantir is building deep relationships with customers, and this is most evident in its strong growth with the government. In the second quarter, Palantir's U.S. government business grew 8% over the previous quarter and 24% year over year. Importantly, Palantir is becoming a very profitable business, which is also helping it stand out. Its adjusted free-cash-flow margin relative to revenue has increased from 15% in Q4 2022 to 22% in the most recent quarter. While there will be winners and losers in the AI market, Palantir's growing revenue and free cash flow show it will be one of the winners. 2. Microsoft...

FabioIm/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Investment Thesis I am raising my recommendation from hold to buy Petrobras (NYSE: PBR ) shares. This article is the continuation of my initial coverage article published on April, 2024. My last article about the company was published on November 12, 2025. In this article, my intention is to explain why Petrobras is my top pick for 2026. I will carry out an analysis in the macroeconomic context and the oil sector. Additionally, I will analyze the company's finances and its valuation compared to its competitors to prove that this is an excellent opportunity in 2026. Corporate Profile Petrobras was founded in 1954 and is currently the largest Brazilian company in terms of market value. The business model is integrated, and the company divides its business into the segments of (i) (i) (i) (i) (i) exploration and production, where it is responsible for more than 1/3 of national production; (ii) refining, transportation and marketing; (iii) gas and energy. The company's focus is on ultra-deep water exploration (especially in the pre-salt ). State control provides privileged access to natural resources in the country. Oil Production (Petrobras) Context This will probably be the most important article I will write about a company's stock of the year. Today I will analyze the investment thesis of Brazilian oil company Petrobras and tell you why it is my top pick for 2026. Although the stock is already up more than 25%, however, I have reason to believe that this is just the beginning of the rally. The fact is that the beginning of 2026 marked a lot of volatility with Maduro's capture, and large price variations in gold, silver, and cryptocurencies, and these were the main reasons for me not writing this article sooner. However, for those who follow my work closely, on January 6th I published my recommended stock portfolio for 2026, and there were Petrobras shares, so I invite you to follow the profile before we start an in-depth stu...

Enbridge (NYSE: ENB) and Dominion Energy (NYSE: D) are both involved in green energy and working to position themselves to prosper in a lower-carbon future. Their approaches to the megatrend differ: Enbridge is a midstream infrastructure giant pivoting toward renewables, while Dominion is an electric utility engaging in a massive effort to decarbonize its power generation fleet. Dominion delivers regulated electricity to more than 3.6 million homes and businesses in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. It's seeing a surge in demand in northern Virginia and North Carolina because of an explosion in data center growth in those markets. The company's renewable energy projects, including solar, offshore wind, and hydroelectric, generate more than 2,500 megawatts -- enough to power 625,000 homes. It is also the largest producer of carbon-free electricity in New England, thanks to its Millstone nuclear power facility in Connecticut. Over the past year, Dominion's stock has risen by more than 10%. As a regulated utility, it enjoys predictable cash flows , and it has distributed dividends for 392 consecutive quarters. Though it has not increased its payouts since 2022, it still has a relatively high yield of about 4.3% at the current share price. However, the company's lofty payout ratio of around 87% is a concern, even though it has increased its annual revenues by more than 25% over the past decade. Continue reading

AMZN Stock Today: February 08 – $200B AI Capex Plan Spurs Selloff Meyka

kozorog/iStock via Getty Images Molina Healthcare ( MOH ) is a pure play health insurance company. Along with other players in the sector, Molina has been struggling with margin pressure resulting from claims inflation. Molina came out with its Q4 2025 results on 6th February, reporting a loss for the quarter, and slashing guidance for 2026. Management stated that their assumptions for the claims inflation trend were for a 5% increase through 2026. Given that the overall industry trends have shown higher claims inflation, and Molina has underestimated claims in the last few quarters, this estimate lacks credibility. I do not have confidence in the management guidance, and will be avoiding MOH until they are able to demonstrate that they have control over their medical care ratio. Previous Coverage I last covered Molina after their Q3 earnings, Molina Healthcare - looks Like a Sick Puppy. In that article, I reiterated my Hold rating, due to concerns about the declining medical care ratio. This proved to be a good call, as the share price has performed badly since then. While the market positioned for a margin recovery on the back of price hikes and underwriting actions, all these gains and more were given back after the Q4 results. Seeking Alpha Investors might consider the drop as a dip-buying opportunity, but should first take a careful look at the latest developments and outlook. Q4 Results Following up on a weak Q3, the Q4 results were nothing short of horrific. The all important Medical Care Ratio or MCR, blew out from 90.2% to 94.6%. The cost ratio also deteriorated from 6.3% of premiums to 7% of premiums. Combined, these resulted in a net loss for the quarter of $160m, halving the adjusted EPS for the year from $22.65 to $11.03. This was a big miss on the $14 EPS guidance that management issued in October, when they dropped their estimate from $19 EPS. Molina The MCR deteriorated in all three segments—Medicare, Medicaid, and Marketplace—with the company referr...

Key Points After two years of declines, foot traffic turned positive for this popular beverage chain in the latest quarter. Management is partnering with a local investment group to accelerate success in the world’s second-biggest economy. Profitability has been strained, but Wall Street sees better days ahead. 10 stocks we like better than Starbucks › If you're searching for potential investment opportunities, perhaps a good place to start is by looking at past winners. There's one business that has posted a fantastic gain in recent decades. Since this restaurant chain's initial public offering in 1992, the stock price has surged more than 27,000% higher (as of Feb. 3). Including the dividend, the total return balloons to an even more impressive 36,470%. This performance is 11 times better than the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC). 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.

Returning to positive foot traffic During the first quarter of fiscal 2026 (ended Dec. 28), Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) reported same-store sales growth of 4%. Even better, the company told investors that foot traffic globally was up 3% year over year. This came after two years of declining traffic. For any restaurant, this is obviously an encouraging trend. It's a sign that Starbucks is heading in the right direction. "Both non-Rewards customers grew transactions and rewards customers grew transactions," CEO Brian Niccol said on the Q1 2026 earnings call. "People came back to the brand, and we also drove engagement or more frequency with our existing customers." The company expects same-store sales to rise 3% or more in fiscal 2026. 2.

HSBC Encouraging Departures By Offering "Little To Zero" Bonuses For Underperformers HSBC is preparing to award little or no bonuses to some bankers as it adopts a tougher, performance-driven pay model similar to its US rivals, according to Bloomberg . Underperforming staff in investment banking and wealth management — including some managing directors — may be encouraged to leave after bonuses are paid in the coming weeks, according to people familiar with the matter. Final decisions have not yet been made. The move reflects the strategy of CEO Georges Elhedery, who has pushed to align HSBC’s compensation practices with those of Wall Street firms. Since taking over in late 2024, he has led a major restructuring, shutting down much of the bank’s US and European deals and equity underwriting operations and merging commercial and investment banking. Several senior executives have exited as part of the overhaul. According to Bloomberg , HSBC said it remains committed to rewarding employees competitively, with pay linked closely to performance. The bank’s 2024 bonus pool remained flat at $3.8 billion, defying an industry trend toward higher payouts. Some staff, particularly in corporate and institutional banking, were warned to expect lower awards. While Elhedery’s revamp is expected to deliver $3 billion in savings, it has raised costs in the short term. HSBC’s cost-to-income ratio rose to 49.9% in the first half of 2025, up from 43.7% a year earlier. Still, investors have responded positively, with shares nearly doubling since his appointment in September 2024, though gains trail rivals such as Barclays and Standard Chartered. HSBC remains Europe’s largest bank by market value, at around £225 billion, ahead of Santander, UBS, and BNP Paribas. Founded in Hong Kong in 1865, HSBC has strengthened its focus on Asia and the Middle East amid shifting geopolitical risks. The bank is also reviewing options for its Singapore insurance unit, following recent asset sales in Euro...

There’s plenty to look forward to in the match, as well as plenty in my preamble for Scotland fans to take issue with. Feel free to let me know about this and anything else on the email . A year that looks good for Scotland in terms of form and fitness starts with a match vs Italy in Rome. This could be seen as a decent way to ease into the championship for Townsend’s team, who enter the tournament with optimism for what feels like at least the fifth year on the bounce. Talented, experienced, mostly settled, this side has all the markings of a group that should be challenging for the title but history proves will likely finish fourth. Hey, don’t shoot the messenger. This inexplicable frailty was demonstrated by this fixture last time out in 2024, when Italy came from behind then survived a late rally by the visitors to win 31-29; delivering their first win in eleven years. How the Azzuri would love the same result today. Both teams have an open style of playing, reflected in this being only fixture of the opening round that features both sides with a 5:3 split in the subs. Most coaches are favouring as much beef as possible off the bench, but Gregor Townsend and Gonzalo Quesada prefer more craft in their options. This approach has earned some decent results for Italy in the previous two years, but less so consistently for Scotland. One of the many frustrations that bubble up about Townsend is inability – or unwillingness - to change approach in the face of the same performances and outcomes. The tone setting nature of this fixture for both sides should not be underestimated; especially the visitors whose whistle and drone from the deflation of defeat will be audible in Inverness.

If humanoid robots really are about to enter the mainstream, the first signs of that trend might appear in these three stocks. The idea of humanoid robots that can walk, talk, and interact with people in everyday life has captivated imaginations for decades. And today, several companies are amping up their efforts to combine robotics with the latest advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to turn that science-fiction dream into reality. How will you know when "the robots are here"? Morgan Stanley research forecasts that 10% of U.S. households could own a humanoid by 2050, with the devices selling at an average price of $50,000. However, the first widely adopted humanoid robots might not be robot housekeepers for the consumer market. Instead, the latest trends suggest that these humanoid robots might arrive first in car factories. If you believe humanoid robots are almost here, you might want to buy shares of Hyundai, Toyota (TM +2.96%), and Tesla (TSLA +3.47%). Hyundai: New Atlas robot could work in its factories in 2028 Korean automaker Hyundai made big headlines at CES 2026 with Atlas, a humanoid robot developed by its Boston Dynamics subsidiary. Atlas won the trade show's award for best robot, and the CES voting panel praised its naturalistic way of walking and sleek design. Hyundai says it intends to put Atlas robots to work in its car factory in Savannah, Georgia, by 2028, starting with simple processes like parts sequencing. It then plans to expand their workloads to more complex activities by 2030. According to Hyundai, the Atlas robot is designed to be trainable on most tasks in less than a day and can lift up to 110 pounds. It has advanced rotational joints, human-scale hands, and precise sensors that should make it a good fit for industrial environments. Since the day it announced its plans for the Atlas robot at CES, Hyundai stock has risen by about 60%.

18m ago 13.36 GMT Will Unwin It certainly feels like Burnley are already down but a loss today will confirm it, even if Lancashire’s leading optimists will point to the mathematical possibilities between now and mid-May. They have not been good for many months, failing to win any of their past 15 Premier League games, and most recently getting brushed aside by Sunderland, thanks to an appalling performance that earned the ire of Scott Parker and Kyle Walker. The fans will be looking for a response and something to lift the gloom against West Ham, the team one place above them. Things have improved under Nuno Espirito Santo but West Ham remain six points from safety. Losing against Burnley today would be an impressive new low, which is saying something considering the Hammers are the only team to have lost to rock-bottom Wolves. These are the games West Ham need to win if they are to chase down Nottingham Forest, Leeds and Crystal Palace but they have slipped up before.

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) is preparing a major capital raise of about US$45b to US$50b through a mix of debt and equity. The company plans to use the funds to accelerate cloud infrastructure build out to support large AI focused partnerships. Oracle is also considering workforce reductions that could affect up to 30,000 roles and a possible sale of its Cerner health tech unit. Oracle is best known for its database software, enterprise applications and rapidly expanding cloud infrastructure business. The planned capital raise signals a focus on large scale data center and cloud investments tied to AI workloads, an area where many large technology peers are also committing substantial resources. For investors, this combination of fresh capital, potential divestiture of Cerner and sizable job cuts points to a willingness to reshape the business around cloud and AI. It also brings execution questions around integration, cost management and how any Cerner sale terms might affect Oracle's long term mix of recurring software, services and infrastructure revenue streams.

The Defense Department said it is severing academic ties to Harvard University and ending professional military education fellowships, the latest blow to the university from the federal government. Secretary Pete Hegseth , a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School, said in a post Friday night that attendance at the school no longer “meets the needs” of the Department or the military services and the Pentagon will discontinue graduate-level professional military education, fellowships and certificate programs at the Harvard Kennedy School starting in the next academic year. “For too long, this department has sent our best and brightest officers to Harvard, hoping the university would better understand and appreciate our warrior class,” Hegseth said. “Instead, too many of our officers came back looking too much like Harvard — heads full of globalist and radical ideologies that do not improve our fighting ranks.” The Trump administration has been targeting higher education, particularly Harvard, for concerns over antisemitism, diversity programs, perceived political bias and a perceived lack of academic rigor . Several elite universities struck deals with the administration, including Columbia, Brown, Northwestern and Cornell universities, that restored hundreds of millions of dollars in federal research funding. Harvard hasn’t settled and this week Trump demanded $1 billion after the New York Times reported they were close to a deal. Military personnel who are currently attending classes at Harvard will be able to finish those courses of study. Hegseth also cited concerns about Harvard’s relationships with foreign nations. The department and military services would evaluate similar relationships with other schools, he said. Harvard didn’t have an immediate comment. Over the past 10 years, more than 500 US active duty service members, reservists, and veterans have enrolled in the Kennedy School’s various educational programs, the school said in November .
