Cash flow matters to Boeing (NYSE: BA) . Not only does Boeing need to fund a new narrowbody airplane within the next decade, but it also needs to pay down the debt built up during the lockdowns and 737 MAX groundings. However, its cash flow generation could be coming under pressure. President Trump's executive orders aimed at ensuring defense contractors deliver on time. Here's the lowdown. The company's consolidated debt stood at $54.1 billion at the end of 2025, while its cash and marketable securities totaled $29.4 billion, resulting in $24.7 billion in net debt. It also burned through $1.9 billion in cash in 2025. Meanwhile, the former CEO, Dave Calhoun, is on record as saying a new narrowbody would cost $50 billion to develop. In addition, Boeing needs to support the recently acquired Spirit AeroSystems, its electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) business , Wisk, the ramp-up of 737 deliveries, the inventory build for the delayed 777X program, and customer considerations related to the 777X delay.

Tim Cook, chief executive officer of Apple Inc., during the 60th presidential inauguration in the rotunda of the US Capitol in Washington, DC, US, on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025. Bloomberg | Getty Images Apple is having its worst day in the stock market in months. Shares of Apple were down 5% Thursday as reports surfaced about delays with Siri and its news app faced Federal Trade Commission scrutiny over political bias . The long-awaited artificial intelligence update to the iPhone-maker's personal assistant Siri has been internally pushed back to May and potentially later, Bloomberg reported Wednesday. The update was expected to launch within a couple weeks, but the company may roll the features out slowly over several months, the report stated. Apple told CNBC it is still on track to launch in 2026. On Wednesday, the FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson told Apple CEO Tim Cook to review the terms of service and curation policies on Apple News. Ferguson cited recent "reports" that Apple News was promoting left-leaning news outlets while suppressing conservative content. Last month, Apple beat Wall Street expectations when it reported first-quarter earnings, however, the stock has been tied to Wall Street's recent concerns about big tech spending too much on AI.

Morsa Images/DigitalVision via Getty Images To be honest with you, I am not a huge fan of the home furnishings market. It is intensely competitive, and margins have a tendency to be slim. In the past, I have been neutral or negative on many companies that operate in this space. One such example can be seen by looking at Arhaus, Inc. ( ARHS ), a business that operates specifically as a provider of home furnishings. Its vertical business model empowers it to design and produce furniture, outdoor products, lighting products, textiles, and decor. It is a huge industry, worth around $100 billion annually if we focus on the U nited States alone. But in my previous article about the business, published in September of last year, I said that I needed more clarity on revenue and profits before being anything other than "N eutral." In addition to uncertainty associated with the economy and tariffs, I decided to reaffirm the business as a "Hold" candidate. Since then, the stock has pulled back some, dropping 4.5%, while the S&P 500 is up 3%. Even with that decline, however, the stock is up 68.7% since I first rated it a "Hold" back in March 2022. That is a bit above the 59.5% increase that the market has experienced. Looking at the data today, I see that the trading multiples of the company have come down. Management expects continued growth for 2025 in its entirety. And even though economic concerns remain problematic, especially since I believe that the U nited States is heading toward a recession, the stock is now priced at levels that I think make a bit of sense. Because of this, I believe that upgrading the company to a soft "Buy" is the right move. But this could change as new data comes in. Soon, that will be the case. In fact, on Feb. 26, management is expected to announce financial results for the final quarter of the company's 2025 fiscal year. Although revenue is expected to increase, earnings per share should contract some. But assuming that this is more of a blip ...

Strategically positioned near emerging shipping routes, the island has drawn interest from the U.S., Russia, China and Europe. But Greenland’s untapped wealth sits under the ground. With significant deposits of rare earth elements and other critical minerals, the mining industry could boost the territory’s slowing economy.

Researchers at Nvidia have developed a technique that can reduce the memory costs of large language model reasoning by up to eight times. Their technique, called dynamic memory sparsification (DMS), compresses the key value (KV) cache, the temporary memory LLMs generate and store as they process prompts and reason through problems and documents. While researchers have proposed various methods to compress this cache before, most struggle to do so without degrading the model's intelligence. Nvidia's approach manages to discard much of the cache while maintaining (and in some cases improving) the model's reasoning capabilities. Experiments show that DMS enables LLMs to "think" longer and explore more solutions without the usual penalty in speed or memory costs. The bottleneck of reasoning LLMs improve their performance on complex tasks by generating " chain-of-thought " tokens, essentially writing out their reasoning steps before arriving at a final answer. Inference-time scaling techniques leverage this by giving the model a larger budget to generate these thinking tokens or to explore multiple potential reasoning paths in parallel. However, this improved reasoning comes with a significant computational cost. As the model generates more tokens, it builds up a KV cache . For real-world applications, the KV cache is a major bottleneck. As the reasoning chain grows, the cache grows linearly, consuming vast amounts of memory on GPUs. This forces the hardware to spend more time reading data from memory than actually computing, which slows down generation and increases latency. It also caps the number of users a system can serve simultaneously, as running out of VRAM causes the system to crash or slow to a crawl. Nvidia researchers frame this not just as a technical hurdle, but as a fundamental economic one for the enterprise. "The question isn't just about hardware quantity; it's about whether your infrastructure is processing 100 reasoning threads or 800 threads for the s...

Victor Hanson On Our Super Bowl Satyricon Authored by Victor Davis Hanson via American Greatness, In recent years, Americans have known what to expect from our Neronian Super Bowl halftime shows: mediocre music veneered over with gaudy, flashily lit, but ultimately empty and meaningless sets. As seen again this year, the usual array of supporting dancers twerk and simulate intercourse, in sync with the main singer, mindlessly grabbing his/her genitals—apparently to highlight the explicit sexual allusions of mostly nonsensical lyrics. For some strange reason, this Roman orgiastic ritual is supposedly designed by the NFL each year to appeal to American families of all ages as they gather together around the living room TV on their festive cultural holiday. But the script has now grown predictable and trite. This year’s mess jumped the shark and had a force-multiplying boring effect on one of the most tedious Super Bowl games in history. The decision to have Bad Bunny as the main attraction to sing solely in Spanish—only 14 percent of the U.S. population is fluent in Spanish, while 90 percent is proficient in English—was apparently designed to grow the NFL’s global audience, particularly in the Western Hemisphere, or perhaps to shock America to get accustomed to its new official multilingual identity. Yet of the anticipated 60 million Americans who likely watched this flat show, more than 50 million of them could neither read nor comprehend Spanish. And they had previously been insulted by Bunny to hurry up and learn Spanish before the game—or else? How odd that America provides translations of every conceivable language in its courts, hospitals, and schools for minorities of non-English-speaking residents. And yet at its annual signature sporting event, the marquee and main-event non-English speaker would not even provide translations for the vast majority of the viewing population. Part of the hype of Bunny’s appearance was his supposedly edgy decision to perform ent...
