A recommendation downgrade from an analyst at a prominent bank helped send Conagra (NYSE: CAG) stock down by more than 18% last month. Although this was part of a "package" downgrade of notable food industry stocks, it was small comfort to shareholders. The downgrading party was one of the "big four" U.S. lenders, Wells Fargo . The bank's analyst Chris Carey downshifted his rating on Conagra, in addition to two other peer stocks, Campbell Soup and General Mills . He now feels all three rate an underweight (read: sell), where previously he flagged each as an equal weight (hold). Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Iran Threatens "Complete And Utter Annihilation" Of OpenAI's $30BN Stargate Data Center In Abu Dhabi In a move that may well have been sponsored by Dario Amodei or Elon Musk, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a clear public warning to the US that any damage inflicted on Iran’s power infrastructure will be met with decisive retaliation. Specifically, IRGC spokesperson Brigadier General Ebrahim Zolfaghari threatened the “ complete and utter annihilation” of U.S. and Israeli facilities, with Stargate's $30 billion "hidden" AI datacenter in Abu Dhabi singled out as a juicy target for Iranian destruction later in the video. The threats come on the heels of Iran reportedly delivering enough damage via rocket strikes to some Amazon AWS data centers that they have shut down. Iran leveling up They released a video of threatening to strike 1GW Stargate AI datacenter in the UAE. The data center is hidden on Google maps they even shown that pic.twitter.com/LuOGIp3BVj — Furkan Gözükara (@FurkanGozukara) April 3, 2026 In the video, Zolfaghari warned that “should the USA proceed with its threats concerning Iran’s power plant facilities the following retaliatory measures shall be promptly enacted: All power plants, energy infrastructure, and information and communications technology of the Zionist regime, and all similar companies within the region that have American shareholders shall face complete and utter annihilation.” As Tom's Hardware notes , after Zolfaghari's remarks end, the video switches to a shot of the Earth from space, which zooms into Abu Dhabi on Google Maps. A zone not far from the coast is then centered on, showing an apparently ‘empty’ area of desert. However, a message is overlaid on this bleak view, stating “Nothing stays hidden to our sight, though hidden by Google.” The video then switches to a ‘night vision’ view of the same area of the map with the full extent of the Stargate AI datacenter in Abu Dhabi clear to see. The threat comes af...
The US-Israeli strikes on Iran and ensuing conflagration offer a window into how the US-led order works.

The US-Israeli strikes on Iran and ensuing conflagration offer a window into how the US-led order works. For all its contributions, it functions like an air conditioner – cooling the American centre by pumping hot air into the periphery. Aggressive interest rate hikes export inflation to emerging markets. Proxy wars outsource geopolitical risk to distant theatres. The United States stays cool while the Global South absorbs the brunt of the heat. But the vents are closing: developing nations are...

PDerrett/E+ via Getty Images America’s housing stock is getting older, and homeowners are paying the price. The median U.S. home is now 44 years old, leaving many properties in need of major repairs and upgrades that are becoming increasingly expensive, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday. New construction hasn’t kept pace with aging homes, creating a growing backlog of maintenance needs. Costs are rising sharply. Structural repairs, plumbing and other essential fixes have all increased well beyond general inflation in recent years, driven by higher labor costs, pricier materials and the scale of work required. Financial advisers say the traditional rule of setting aside 1% of a home’s value annually is no longer sufficient. Many now recommend budgeting closer to 2% to 3%, especially for older properties that require ongoing upgrades and unexpected repairs. Older homes bring unpredictable expenses For homeowners, the challenge is not just the frequency of repairs but their unpredictability. Projects often uncover hidden issues that push costs higher than expected. One Long Island couple living in an 88-year-old home expects to spend about $25,000 this year on upkeep alone, including electrical work and repainting, with additional costs for landscaping, the Journal reported. In past years, their maintenance spending has swung widely, at times reaching six figures depending on the scope of repairs. Even relatively straightforward renovations can escalate quickly when aging structures reveal complications behind walls or beneath floors. Rising costs extend beyond repairs Maintenance is only part of the burden. Higher insurance premiums, property taxes and association fees are making homeownership more expensive overall. Deferred maintenance can also create serious risks. Insurers may raise rates or cancel coverage for properties with unresolved issues, and lenders can restrict financing for homes or buildings that lack adequate upkeep. Nearly half of home-improve...
