日本自民黨在眾議院選舉大勝，首相高市早苗有意推動修憲，亦不排除再到靖國神社參拜，當地有民調指逾八成受訪者支持修憲。新華社評論指，日本右翼勢力若執意挑戰底線，只會進一步惡化同鄰國的關係。 日本首相高市早苗過去周日，帶領執政自民黨勝出眾議院選舉，更獨佔逾三分之二的議席。政府將於下周三召開特別國會，高市連任首相幾乎已成定局。 高市表明要讓日本變得更強大，強化國家安全政策，而憲法象徵國家理想藍圖，在堅定瞻望國家未來的同時亦要持續推動修憲。外界關注高市有意推動「再軍事化」，包括解除武器出口禁令、將自衛隊寫入憲法等。 共同社在周三公布民調結果，指有八成一受訪者贊成或傾向贊成修改《憲法》第九條，明確列出自衛隊的地位，反對或傾向反對的不足一成。對於在日本憲法中設置緊急事態的修憲，約八成三贊成，反對的不足百分之九。 高市過往曾到供奉二戰甲級戰犯的靖國神社參拜，對於將來會否再參拜，她就稱正努力營造能夠實現參拜靖國神社的環境，爭取鄰國及盟友的理解。 新華社周三發表評論，指靖國神社是日本軍國主義發動對外侵略戰爭的精神工具和象徵，供奉對侵略戰爭負有嚴重罪責的14名甲級戰犯，他們曾犯下南京大屠殺、強徵慰安婦及勞工等滔天罪行，對中國在內的亞洲各國人民帶來深重災難，日本人民亦深受其害。 評論又指，靖國神社這筆歷史賬沒有任何討價還價的餘地。日本右翼勢力若執意挑戰底線，只會進一步惡化同鄰國的關係，讓自身在國際社會中更加孤立。任何誤判形勢，必將遭到所有愛好和平的國家和人民堅決抵制和迎頭痛擊。 中方亦指，強徵慰安婦是日本軍國主義犯下的嚴重罪行，鐵證如山，不容否認。並敦促日方深刻反省侵略歷史，以誠實和負責任態度，妥善處理歷史遺留問題。

Hey, do you like peace? Oh, cool, you do? Then, how about we establish a group of countries, all committed to that concept, working together to create global harmony? No, not the one that has already existed for 80 years. A new one. Who’s in? It turns out: not that many world leaders or global citizens. That’s because the Board of Peace, created last year by a UN security council resolution, and intended to have a singular focus on implementing a Gaza peace plan, is increasingly looking like a Donald Trump fiefdom, which could allow the US president to wade into other countries’ affairs as he sees fit. Most of the world’s most influential western countries will reportedly be avoiding the first meeting of the Trump-led Board of Peace later this month, with key US allies like France, Germany, the UK and Canada among those expected to be giving the board a wide berth. It seems they have been put off by a Board of Peace charter that designates Trump as judge, jury, executioner, money handler, graphic designer and anything else he might desire of the Board of Peace. “This board has the chance to be one of the most consequential bodies ever created in the history of the world,” Trump said in a speech about the Board of Peace in January. (In the same speech, the US president said his bombing of an Iranian nuclear facility had “obliterated everything”, claimed he was “annihilating” terrorists in Nigeria and bragged about the US capture of Nicolás Maduro, the president of Venezuela.) Upon its formation in November, Trump invited about 60 countries to join the board. So far only about 20 countries have said they will participate: Albania, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Bulgaria, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Mongolia, Morocco, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and Vietnam. “Few of the countries that have signed up for the board are democracies,” Reuters noted. When the UN s...

RiverNorthPhotography/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Iron Mountain ( IRM ) is scheduled to announce Q4 earnings results on Thursday, February 12th, before market open. The consensus FFO estimate is $0.99 and the consensus revenue estimate is $1.8B (+14.04% Y/Y). Last quarter, the data center and document storage services company delivered results that beat on FFO per share and adjusted EBITDA, while quarterly revenue matched the consensus estimate. The company also increased its quarterly dividend, but the shares were unchanged after the results announcement. "Iron Mountain has made good progress on its business restructuring over the past few years, leading to higher revenues and earnings in recent years," said Seeking Alpha analyst Labutes IR . "However, this has not translated into higher free cash flow and debt levels are rising to relatively high levels, leading to much higher balance sheet leverage than what the company has been reporting based on its own metric," added the author. "The recent attack from a short-seller seems to have some merit, but the company has not addressed this in the best way, in my opinion, raising some questions about its financial figures and issues about its business model," said Labutes IR. "Moreover, its valuation remains quite high, which doesn’t seem to be supported by its fundamentals," added the author. Seeking Alpha authors recommend a Hold on the stock. Meanwhile, the Quant Rating system grades IRM as Strong Sell. The stock has lost ~6% in the past one year, but is trading ~7% above its 20-day simple moving average. Insiders are net sellers, with the stock seeing six sell transactions in the past three months against one open market buy. Short interest stood at 3.12% of the total float as of January 30. Meanwhile, the Wall Street analysts see IRM as a Buy. Recently, Barclays raised its price target on IRM to $126 from $123, considering consistent growth across its core storage, rentals, and specifically the asset lifecyc...

France ’s economy will sustain steady growth at the start of the year, unchecked by persistent geopolitical risks and uncertainty, the central bank said. Output is on track to expand between 0.2% and 0.3% in the first quarter, the Bank of France said in its monthly survey of 8,500 firms. The pace of growth in January was better than business leaders predicted, with strength in defense and aerospace helping to keep industrial activity above its long-term average for the eighth consecutive month. “If I had to choose an adjective to describe the French economy last month, it would be imperturbable, despite the fury of the world and international and national uncertainties,” Bank of France Chief Economist Xavier Debrun said. Economic growth in the euro area’s second largest economy held up through repeated government collapse since elections in 2024, as well as rising trade tensions and tariffs since Donald Trump ’s return to the White House last year. Adding to the potential upside in France, domestic headwinds eased in recent weeks as Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu managed to get a budget adopted by parliament after months of opposition parties threatening to topple him. The Bank of France’s monthly measure of business uncertainty eased for the fifth month in services to reach its lowest level since July last year. Still, it rose slightly in industry, which the central bank said is normally more sensitive to the international context.

Hyperscalers are desperate for data center capacity. There was a lot of talk in 2025 that artificial intelligence (AI) was headed to a bubble. After all, the bears reasoned, there's no way that companies will continue to accelerate their spending on AI technology. Right? But now we have the answer, definitively. The AI run-up is just getting started. Amazon announced it would spend $200 billion on AI this year, Meta Platforms plans to spend up to $135 billion, Alphabet is on board to spend $185 billion, and Microsoft plans to spend $105 billion in its fiscal year that ends in June. With those four companies alone, we're looking at about $625 billion this year on AI data centers, chips, and necessary hardware. The market's reaction to that spending is muted at best, at least for the big spenders. Some analysts are worried that these companies are investing too much in an emerging technology, and that's why their stock prices are slipping. But there are also going to be some huge winners because of all this spending, and my prediction is that Nebius Group (NBIS 2.00%) will outperform the rest of the AI stocks in 2026. Expand NASDAQ : NBIS Nebius Group Today's Change ( -2.00 %) $ -1.84 Current Price $ 89.95 Key Data Points Market Cap $23B Day's Range $ 87.25 - $ 94.69 52wk Range $ 18.31 - $ 141.10 Volume 379K Avg Vol 16M Gross Margin -1312.43 % What does Nebius Group do? Nebius Group is a Dutch company building data centers that are designed to power AI technology. The company operates a full-stack AI cloud platform in data centers that are powered by thousands of top-of-the-line Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs). That's important because Nvidia's GPUs are designed to work together to perform high-performance tasks such as AI and machine learning. And because Nebius' cloud platform provides full-stack services, it allows companies to build, deploy, manage, and scale their AI platforms in a cloud environment. Nebius reported that it sold out of its capacity in the...

Elon Musk Vows To Establish A Moon City Within 10 Years Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Elon Musk and SpaceX are charting a bold new course for American space dominance, prioritizing a thriving city on the Moon to shield civilization from earthly perils like natural disasters or geopolitical chaos. With frequent launches and rapid iteration cycles, the Moon offers a practical launchpad for multi-planetary life, free from the constraints of overregulated space agencies that have stalled progress for decades. SpaceX’s announcement comes amid a renewed push for lunar exploration, where private enterprise is outpacing sluggish international efforts. SpaceX just officially shifted its #1 priority to building a self-growing city on the Moon. Not a base. Not an outpost. A city. Here's why it makes sense: you can launch to the Moon every 10 days vs. every 26 months for Mars. Two-day trip vs. six months. That means hundreds of… pic.twitter.com/G8JyICe9Qw — tetsuo (@tetsuoai) February 10, 2026 According to reports, the company aims to establish a “self-growing city” on the Moon within a decade, leveraging the proximity for hundreds of test cycles that Mars’ distant orbit simply can’t match. Musk elaborated on X, stating, “SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.” He emphasized the logistical edge: launches to the Moon every 10 days with a two-day trip, versus Mars’ 26-month windows and six-month journeys. For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.

Pure-play quantum computing stocks such as IonQ IONQ, D-Wave Quantum QBTS and Rigetti Computing RGTI have attracted strong investor interest due to sharp stock moves and major technology announcements. However, while their technological breakthroughs and rapid stock appreciation have drawn attention, their financial fundamentals remain early-stage and speculative. In such a situation, analysts are increasingly recommending established tech companies with quantum divisions — like NVIDIA NVDA or Microsoft MSFT — as less risky ways to capture quantum upside alongside other core revenue streams. Quantum Pure Plays With Wobbly Financials IonQ has delivered solid year-over-year revenue growth and formed partnerships with leading cloud providers, supporting expectations for future commercial growth. However, it posted substantial net losses and depends on periodic equity raises to extend its cash runway. Rigetti, in its most recently reported quarter, incurred an operating loss of $20.5 million, reflecting continued investment in research and development and core operations. On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes certain non-cash items, the company recorded a net loss of $10.7 million or a loss of 3 cents per share. D-Wave reported $3.7 million in revenues in the third quarter of 2025, up year over year and sequentially. However, the company recorded a GAAP net loss of roughly $140 million, largely due to non-cash warrant-related charges. On a non-GAAP basis, the net loss was approximately $18 million, reflecting continued operating losses. D-Wave ended the quarter with more than $836 million in cash and investments, highlighting strong liquidity despite its early-stage, loss-making profile. Analysts accordingly frequently emphasize that these stocks trade more like assets than traditional growth equities, making them ill-suited for investors who prioritize stable fundamentals.

Adtech company AppLovin reports its fourth-quarter earnings under a cloud of negative reports and AI disruption. AppLovin has an ad platform that facilitates ads surrounding mobile apps, especially games, one of the last untamed wildernesses of digital advertising. Another short-seller report from CapitalWatch in January made the more salacious claim that AppLovin had ties to international crime syndicates.

Centrica boss’s 2030 prediction is not controversial, but government’s strategy hardly adds up to one to prove him wrong The price of electricity is less entertaining than a bout of leadership plotting but Labour MPs, if they lifted their gaze, could note that the boss of one of our largest energy companies made a significant prediction this week. British electricity prices in 2030 would be higher than they were in 2022 after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, said Chris O’Shea, the chief executive of British Gas-owning Centrica . If he’s right, the implications may matter more for those MPs’ re-election prospects than if or when the prime minister goes. O’Shea was not making a point about net zero. He was merely saying all options for the necessary upgrade of the country’s energy infrastructurewere expensive. “We’ve underinvested in the system for many years, and whether it’s the cost of building a new gas-fired power station or a new windfarm, the costs have gone up,” he said.

The company's CEO might be a bit too optimistic. In 2007, Apple launched the first iPhone, a device that eventually became the model for other smartphones. The iPhone wasn't the first smartphone, but it completely changed the industry and made Apple immensely successful. It remains its largest source of sales to this day. Meta Platforms (META 0.67%) is trying to pull off something similar. The company believes it has identified how most people will interact with artificial intelligence (AI) in their day-to-day lives within a few years. And if Meta Platforms can lead this revolution, it could pay rich dividends to the tech leader down the road. Are AI glasses the future? Zuckerberg thinks so. By now, everyone is familiar with AI chatbots. Although they are very useful, they are limited in that they only respond to questions and requests that users explicitly ask. AI glasses could be upgraded versions of chatbots. AI glasses are equipped with cameras and microphones, which, in a sense, make them AI chatbots with eyes and ears. They can interact with the world around those wearing them in real time, anticipate needs and requests, and, of course, still respond to questions and requests via voice commands. These added perks make AI glasses the "ideal form factor for AI," as Meta Platforms' CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, once argued. And anyone who doesn't have them will be at a severe disadvantage in a few years, or at least, that's what Zuckerberg thinks. During the company's recent fourth quarter earnings conference call, he said the following regarding where AI glasses are right now and where we could be heading in the near future: I think that we're at a moment similar to when smartphones arrived, and it was clearly only a matter of time until all those flip phones became smartphones.

In this podcast, Motley Fool retirement expert Robert Brokamp speaks with Fool contributor Dan Caplinger about how they're approaching the decision of when to call it a career.

Robert Brokamp: How to decide when to retire and updates from the housing market? You're listening to the Saturday Personal Finance edition of Motley Fool Morning. I'm Robert Brokamp, this week, I speak with Motley Fool contributor Dan Caplinger about how we're each determining when we can retire. But first, here are some news items from last week, and they all have to do with housing. First up, Redfin announced that more than 40,000 home purchase agreements were canceled in December. That represents 16.3% of all homes that went under contract, the highest percentage of monthly cancellation since Redfin began tracking the metric in 2017. One reason could be that home buyers are becoming more cautious amid economic anxiety. After all, the Michigan consumer sentiment index is near its lowest level in 50 years, though it has ticked up a bit in recent months. But another reason is that inventory has risen, giving potential homebuyers more choices. According to Chen Zhao, head of Economic Research at Redfin, "Home sellers outnumber buyers by a record margin, meaning the buyers who are in the market have options and may walk away if they believe they can find a better or more affordable home."
