You get a text message with some good news: your mobile provider has been operating a rewards programme and you have earned almost 13,000 points. You haven’t heard of the scheme before but since so many of the operators have rewards plans, you assume you must just have missed it. When you click on the link, you arrive at a site branded with your operator’s logo and find you can cash in your points for a new massage chair or a high-end vacuum cleaner, among other items. All you have to do is pay the postage. The texts, the rewards programme, the site and the promise of expensive appliances are all part of a scam, however – the latest ruse by criminals to extract your bank details, which they can then exploit. Recently, fake text messages have gone out claiming to be from EE and Vodafone and promising prizes from their rewards schemes. View image in fullscreen A fake rewards scheme text message, purportedly from EE. Photograph: Handout A spokesperson for EE said it first heard of the scam two months ago and since then 265,000 people had reported the fake text messages. The company does not offer a points-for-rewards scheme. Vodafone has the VeryMe Rewards scheme but says it never refers to it as the “Vodafone Rewards Club”, which is what it is called in some texts. EE said the messages were sent via RCS, a more advanced type of messaging than SMS, and it is unable to block them (unlike SMS, which it can). EE said it was working with Apple and Google on the problem. Vodafone said its customers were mostly not receiving the texts (labelled as coming from Vodafone) because RCS is not enabled by the carrier on iPhones. However, people on other networks are receiving them. What it looks like The text message claims to be a reminder that you have gathered points, and says most of them must be used immediately or they will expire. “This message serves as an advance notice regarding your Vodafone Reward Points.

A UK dairy delivery business is to begin collecting unwanted or broken toys, mobile phones and laptops while dropping off milk, orange juice and butter in its latest attempt to expand. The Modern Milkman was founded by entrepreneur Simon Mellin in Burnley, north-west England, in 2019 and delivers groceries to more than 100,000 households across the UK. The business will now start collecting electronic goods and toys to give to recycling specialist EMR Group, which will repurpose or recycle the items. Consumers pay £2.50 a time for a collection bag. British households have an average 30 broken tech items each – up from 20 four years ago, according to non-profit organisation Material Focus. Britons dispose of about 2m tonnes of electronic waste every year. Retailers must now offer take-back schemes and some councils do kerbside collections but it can still be hard to find an easy way to get rid of small items such as cables, chargers and old phones. “We did a lot of research and there is not really a convenient way to deal with this stuff,” said Mellin. The service has been trialled in four regions and would now be expanded across the group’s operations. It also has plans to tackle other waste such as soft plastics or textiles in future. “It is about how we build a stronger proposition and make ourselves more valuable to our customers,” he said, with a focus on “sustainable growth rather than blowing the barn doors off”.

Eight people have been confirmed dead in a blast at a biotechnology factory in central China early on Saturday. The explosion ripped through a workshop in Shanyin county, Shanxi province, operated by Jiapeng Biotechnology, a company involved in bio-feed, coal and related products, building materials, and paint manufacturing. The county government said the rescue operation had concluded and the company’s legal representative had been taken into police custody.

When the U.S. sneezes, it seems Europe may not catch its cold in the same way it used to. The Stoxx 600 is sitting close to record highs after recording its 7th positive week in eight, despite the tech-led devastation around it. It's been a different story across the pond. In a recent note, Deutsche Bank has started drawing comparisons to the dot-com bubble of 2000, and says the recent sell-off in AI and software-exposed stocks is showing no signs of easing. This week's declines leave the S&P 500 down almost 30 percent from their October 2025 peaks. Broader European stocks meanwhile, are looking more resilient.

Warm weather in the middle of January and zero income taxes have turned Fort Lauderdale into a top retirement city. South Florida is one of the few places in the U.S. that gives you the opportunity to walk around in shorts on the beach on a fine January morning. However, the city of Fort Lauderdale isn't just attracting snowbirds who need a one or two week break from the cold. It has increasingly become a top southern retirement spot. Warm weather throughout the year is a major draw for people who can withstand Florida summers, but that's not the only selling point for retirees. Florida does not have state income taxes Affordability is a key factor retirees consider when deciding which location is right for them, according to the Motley Fool's 2026 Best Places to Retire research. Florida happens to be one of the nine states with zero income taxes. You can save a lot of money when you withdraw from your retirement plans and claim Social Security. However, Florida has a high sales tax, and it could become the highest in the country if the Sunshine State ends property taxes. It's a great trade-off for most retirees who want to relocate to Fort Lauderdale, and even if property taxes remain intact, the lack of income taxes is already a big plus for affordability. No state income taxes can reduce financial stress while making it easier to enjoy the warm weather and get out on the beach. It's a solid foundation for a growing city that has additional perks. It's easy to stay active Fort Lauderdale is warm and sunny for most of the year, making it easier to get out and walk. Warm weather is more important for retirees because the human body becomes less resilient against cold weather as it ages. Muscles tighten up, blood vessels constrict, and bodies lose heat faster as people get older. Fort Lauderdale helps people avoid those issues while giving people several reasons to get outdoors, beyond the beach and scenic trails. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Flamingo ...

MF3d/iStock via Getty Images In recent years MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) became a Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) wrapper in traditional markets. For many investors this stock seemed like a good investment instrument if they believed in Bitcoin growth, you buy MSTR and get Bitcoin on steroids. But this narrative seems to be fading. The latest quarterly earnings (Q4 2025) were in fact a shock to me. Not because the company’s operations were bad, in fact they were good, but the numbers showed, how MSTR’s financial results are dependent on Bitcoin price swings. Immediately after earnings, I asked myself, why do investors pay a premium for difficult corporate structure, if they can’t just buy Bitcoin themselves? At first glance, MSTR and BTC seem to be the same bet. But looking deeper into the structure, these assets are completely different, with different risk profile and different behavior in critical phases. Earnings Yesterday MicroStrategy announced its Q4 2025 earnings , which I would say were pretty bad. But the majority of those negative numbers were caused by accounting, rather than operational events. The company reported around $12.4 billion in net loss, GAAP EPS was -$42.93 per share, which did not beat analysts expectations at all. However, these results are more connected to Bitcoin price fall during the quarter rather than business problems. The main change was new fair value accounting rules application. According to them, MicroStrategy must revalue its Bitcoin at market price. Bitcoin in Q4 2025 was falling, it fell around 25-26%, so the company naturally was forced to report around $17.5 billion unrealized losses. As all traders like to joke, the losses are on paper - MicroStrategy did not sell any Bitcoin. Operational side, which somehow is secondary for many investors, was stable. Software segment generated $123 million in revenue, a little beating markets expectations. But these operations clearly do not impact valuation, MicroStrategy today is valued almost as Bitc...

Demand for memory far exceeds supply, much to the benefit of Micron, Western Digital, and SanDisk investors. There's a bottleneck in the AI boom that won't be solved anytime soon. AI workloads require immense amounts of dynamic random access memory (DRAM), high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and "NOT AND" (NAND) storage far more than traditional computing. This supply-and-demand imbalance is causing a serious shortage, as supply is largely controlled by just a few players. Memory makers with the ability to scale and keep pace with advanced memory technology are well-positioned to succeed for several more years. The memory shortage presents a real problem for AI companies, but a great opportunity for memory designers and manufacturers, and thus their investors. Memory companies such as Micron Technology (MU +3.17%), Western Digital (WDC +8.67%), and SanDisk (SNDK +3.85%) are all stocks investors should consider purchasing for just that reason. AI momentum is transforming from pure hype and enthusiasm to real earnings for these companies.

Micron is one of only three major global DRAM producers and is rapidly growing its HBM portfolio as well. This combo gives Micron an enormous competitive moat and pricing power. Micron is strategically shifting away from low-margin consumer memory toward higher-margin enterprise customers, data centers, and cloud computing. Already, Micron is sold out for all of 2026. The company can meet only about two-thirds of customer demand and is building two large factories in Idaho to increase production capacity starting in 2027 and 2028. As of its latest quarterly earnings, Micron's revenue had b...

Hispanolistic/E+ via Getty Images SoFi Technologies’ ( SOFI ) is increasingly looking less like a fintech that is willing to grow at all costs and more like a capital allocator with a variety of different levers. The easiest place to point to is the revenue mix. Fee revenue is now a substantially larger portion of the business and is growing faster than lending revenue. I think that’s a big deal because fee revenue growth is compounding growth that does not consume capital, does not have a long duration, and is not impacted by funding costs. I think that’s a structural shift from accumulation to compounding. SOFI is now roughly 20% below where I last wrote about it, and that pullback materially improves the entry for investors who missed the earlier move. Scale is Growing, but Efficiency is the Real Story SoFi has seen a record 1 million new members join in Q4 and 1.6 million products. The platform now has almost 13.7 million members and over 20 million products. At this scale, growth rate may not be as important as it used to be. What matters now is the quality of growth. Earnings Release Cross-buy now stands at 40%. It continues to improve and indicates that product growth is increasingly driven by existing members. This is important as internal growth is structurally lower-cost growth. It also allows for margin accretion without the need for commensurate increases in marketing spend. There is another important story on efficiency that has not garnered as much attention or funding. Deposits have been growing rapidly and now make up the bulk of SoFi’s funding mix. Deposits have significantly reduced the need for warehouse lines and other costlier forms of funding. Funding efficiency does more than just improve margins. It gives management optionality. Loans can be retained when they make sense and released when they don't. Optionality is a strategic asset, especially when the rate environment is uncertain. What is significant is not the diversification but the chan...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images By Anthony Goh, Senior Investment Research Analyst @ Khaveen Investments In this analysis, we compare Palo Alto ( PANW ) against Fortinet ( FTNT ), as both companies are the top 2 largest pure cybersecurity companies in the world and, specifically, are leaders in the network security market with a combined market share of around 42% of security appliances . We aim to determine which company had the edge over the other based on several key factors for comparison, including their business model breakdown and performance, market positioning, as well as profitability, to determine the superior company. By examining each company's business model, we identify how each differs in terms of revenue exposure to hardware and software segments and how it influences their growth outlook and their profitability. We also update our valuation based on DCF valuations to determine which company shows more attractive upside. Revenue Breakdown & Performance Comparison Both companies operate in the network security market, which is a subsegment of the cybersecurity market and is focused on protecting networks from cyberattacks with firewalls and monitoring systems. To better analyze Palo Alto and Fortinet in their market, we compiled their revenue breakdowns. We then segment their revenues into different market subsegments to more easily compare them. We believe that both companies’ Product segment is likely to be Network Security. This is because the segment is driven by firewall applications. In terms of comparison, Palo Alto’s Product revenue comes from its hardware and software firewalls. Its subscription and support revenue is from different cybersecurity subsegments such as Cloud Security, Network Security, Endpoint Security, Integrated Risk Management, and Professional Services. Fortinet’s Product revenue relates to Network Security through FortiGate appliances. Its Service revenue can be aligned with Network Security and Cloud Security...

Hong Kong will promote the deep integration of technological and industrial innovation through opportunities brought by the nation’s blueprint to drive economic growth, the finance chief has pledged, two weeks ahead of the annual budget. Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po on Sunday also said that Hong Kong must better utilise its strengths as an international financial centre to empower and speed up industrial development as the city enters the first year of the national 15th five-year plan. “The 15th five-year plan is the most important guiding principle for the country’s socio-economic development over the next five years,” Chan wrote on his weekly blog ahead of his annual budget announcement on February 25. Advertisement “There is a high level of attention both at home and abroad, with a desire to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the country’s future development direction and the opportunities it presents. The 15th five-year plan also points the way for accelerating development and increasing capacity in the next stage of Hong Kong’s growth.” Chan revealed a recent exchange between senior officials and lawmakers on proactively aligning with mainland China’s national plan, observing a consensus that the city had unique strengths in finance, trade and innovation and technology (I&T) and new areas and developments offered “abundant opportunities”. Advertisement Separately, a recent forum hosted by the Hong Kong Productivity Council with more than 500 representatives also underscored the importance of fostering collaboration and driving the integration of scientific and industrial innovation, he added.

Chinese aviation start-up AutoFlight, backed by electric vehicle (EV) battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), is emblematic of mainland China’s ambitions in the flying car market, part of the country’s broader push to dominate the low-altitude economy. The Shanghai-based company on Thursday unveiled Matrix, a five-tonne (11,000lbs) class electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, which it described as the largest of its kind in the world after completing a flight demonstration at a testing facility in Kunshan, a city neighbouring Shanghai. The aircraft, with a 20-metre (65-foot) wingspan and dimensions of 17.1 metres long by 3.3 metres high, comes in two variants for passenger transport and heavy-duty logistics. It can carry 10 passengers, a leap in scale for an industry that has largely focused on smaller airframes weighing between 1.5 tonnes and 3 tonnes with capacities of four to six passengers. Advertisement Autoflight joins peers including Ehang, Xpeng’s flying car unit Aridge and Geely’s Aerofugia as China’s major players in commercial eVTOL applications. The country is moving quickly to set standards for domestic makers and operators, aiming to regulate the skies as the low-altitude economy takes shape. Earlier last week, 10 government departments, including the market regulator and transport ministry, jointly released guidelines to establish basic standards by 2027 and more than 300 standards by 2030. These will cover five core areas: aircraft, infrastructure, air traffic management, safety supervision and application scenarios. Passenger aircraft accounts for 70 per cent of AutoFlight’s total orders. Photo: Handout Founded in 2017, AutoFlight was currently focused on cargo transport, but saw strong potential in passenger flights, said Xie Jia, senior vice-president of AutoFlight, in an interview.

Chinese coffee giant Luckin opened its first flagship with premium drinks as the company takes on Starbucks Reserve. Luckin Coffee BEIJING — China's Luckin Coffee is taking direct aim at Starbucks ' high-end roastery chain with a new flagship store in the country's south that sells premium drinks. It's Luckin's first major departure from its original strategy of operating budget-priced coffee kiosks – a move that helped the company overtake Starbucks in terms of the number of storefronts in China. Now, with the U.S. company selling off most of its struggling China business to a local investment firm, Luckin is proving it's more than made a comeback from fraud allegations in 2020 that forced it to delist from the Nasdaq. The Chinese company on Sunday officially opened its two-floor Luckin Coffee Origin Flagship in Shenzhen on the border with Hong Kong. In contrast to Luckin's typical offerings priced at roughly $1 or $2 for an Americano or latte, the flagship store has nudged prices slightly higher for a range of pour-over and cold brew coffee drinks. Customers can choose beans from Brazil, Ethiopia or China's Yunnan province, as Luckin taps into the geographical sourcing "origin" theme popular with Starbucks and other coffee companies. The new store also sells several specialty drinks such as a "tiramisu latte" with a pastry on top, according to posts on Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu. Users have started posting about 1 to 3 hour waits for the drinks since the store's soft launch on Jan. 20. watch now VIDEO 8:40 08:40 Starbucks CFO on financial outlook for 2026 and beyond News Videos The 420-square-meter (4,521 square feet) store signals how intense the competition in China has become for Starbucks.

The provisional administrator of the housing estate ravaged by Hong Kong’s deadliest fire in decades will attend hearings of the independent committee “as necessary” to represent the “common interests” of the owners’ corporation, the city’s home affairs chief has said amid criticisms that displaced residents lack legal representation in the probe. Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak Mei-kuen on Sunday defended Hop On Management, the firm appointed by the government as the administrator of the estate’s owners’ corporation, days after its notable absence from the first public meeting of the committee investigating the blaze that claimed 168 lives. With the next hearings set to begin on March 19, some displaced Wang Fuk Court residents expressed concern about not being consulted by Hop On Management regarding their need for legal representation in the probe, especially since government officials will testify before the committee’s lawyers. Advertisement Mak told a radio show on Sunday that the company had attended closed-door direction hearings along with legal advisers, and would cooperate and provide information if asked by the independent committee. “For subsequent hearings of the independent committee, Hop On will attend with their legal counsel as necessary,” she said, adding that all individual owners and potential whistle-blowers could express their opinions or provide information to the committee without going through the firm. Advertisement “Hop On represents the common interest of the owners’ corporation. If it involves the owners’ corporation, Hop On has the responsibility to show up,” Mak stressed.
