The Canadian has been tipped as Gianni Infantino’s successor. He defends World Cup ticket prices and explains why the Premier League may soon have a rival Victor Montagliani believes the World Cup will trigger a “cultural revolution” in North America that could result in Major League Soccer rivaling the Premier League at the top of club football. In an exclusive interview with the Guardian, the president of Concacaf, who is also Fifa vice president: Defended the tournament’s controversial pricing strategy on the grounds that a World Cup in North America will be the peak of Fifa’s earning power that funds global football. Claimed Donald Trump will have “no part to play” at the tournament and that Fifa is “more than one guy.” Insisted it is too early to begin discussing expanding the World Cup to 64 teams, something which has been requested by South American confederation Conmebol. Expressed support for increasing the Club World Cup to 48 teams to raise standards and drive revenue growth. Left the door open to running for the Fifa presidency in 2031, after Gianni Infantino completes a final term following his expected reelection next year. Continue reading...

美国建筑天花板系统制造商阿姆斯壮世界工业公司(Armstrong World Industries, Inc.,纽约证券交易所代码:AWI)正面临多家股东权益律师事务所的证券欺诈调查。继2月份财报披露项目延迟导致股价单日暴跌约10%后,The Schall Law Firm、Pomerantz LLP及Kirby McInerney LLP等多家律所已先后启动调查,以评估公司及管理层是否发布了虚假...
美国建筑天花板系统制造商阿姆斯壮世界工业公司(Armstrong World Industries, Inc.,纽约证券交易所代码:AWI)正面临多家股东权益律师事务所的证券欺诈调查。继2月份财报披露项目延迟导致股价单日暴跌约10%后,The Schall Law Firm、Pomerantz LLP及Kirby McInerney LLP等多家律所已先后启动调查,以评估公司及管理层是否发布了虚假或误导性陈述。 调查的导火索是阿姆斯壮于2026年2月24日发布的2025年第四季度及全年财报。尽管全年营收创下16亿美元的历史新高,同比增长12%,但公司在财报电话会上披露的不利消息引发了市场剧烈反应。 公司高管在电话会上透露,当季“销量比预期更为疲软”,且“未见到节后正常的反弹”。更令投资者担忧的是,公司的建筑特制品业务出现了明显的项目延期问题。管理层坦言,“有五个相当大的项目”被推迟,这些项目“不仅未能计入本季度,也未能计入本年度”,导致公司在第四季度“确实没有产生运营杠杆”,并对业绩造成了“空穴效应”。 受此影响,阿姆斯壮的股价在2月24日当天暴跌18.53美元,跌幅约10%,收于174.30美元。截至3月下旬,该股自财报发布以来已累计下跌约14%。 除了项目延期和销量疲软,公司还面临成本端的压力。财报显示,当季运营利润率从25.7%收缩至23%,公司管理层将此归因于多项因素,包括与裁员和降本行动相关的更高支出、收购Eventscape的交易成本,以及关税调整带来的影响。尽管建筑特制品业务实现了11%的销售额增长,但该分部的运营利润却从1480万美元下降至930万美元。 面对股价下跌和投资者的质疑,阿姆斯壮管理层曾在3月初举行的 摩根士丹利 会议上试图安抚市场,重申了对2026年全年的业绩指引,预计净销售额在17.45亿至17.85亿美元之间,调整后EBITDA为6亿至6.2亿美元。公司同时还指出,一季度销量趋势正在改善。然而,根据4月底发布的一季报,公司每股收益为1.69美元,低于市场预期的1.82美元。 The Schall Law Firm鼓励在2024年4月18日至2026年2月24日期间购买阿姆斯壮股票并遭受损失的投资者联系律所。截至目前,尚未有正式诉讼文件提交,调查仍在进行中。 责任编辑:张俊 SF065

Today at its pre-filmed Worldwide Developers Conference keynote, Apple was finally prepared to fully introduce the long-delayed "Apple Intelligence" update for its Siri voice assistant. The new "Siri AI"—now being promised for OS updates rolling out "this fall"—will come alongside a new Google-powered update to Apple's on-device Foundation Models, as well as tighter integration of all these AI capabilities across Apple's many operating systems. Unlike other companies that "appear to be racing forward, seemingly pursuing AI for the sake of AI, with little regard for the people... it's meant to serve," Apple's SVP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi said, "we believe that truly helpful AI must be centered around you and your needs." Just a friendly chat with your AI assistant The company highlighted this kind of focus in a series of scripted conversational demos with Siri AI , complete with seemingly unedited, multi-second pauses between each spoken prompt and Siri's response. In these demos, Apple executives showed Siri AI bouncing between different usage modes and app-based tasks as needed in an effort to highlight how Apple Intelligence can now be used "well beyond one-shot tasks" for a "brand new conversational experience" with the virtual assistant.

For three years, the artificial intelligence (AI) trade was simple: Buy Nvidia , collect the upside, repeat. The graphics processing unit (GPU) was the atom of modern AI; everything else seemed to be organized around it. That story is not over. But something structural is shifting beneath it, creating one of the more compelling investment setups of the next decade. The largest technology companies on Earth are no longer content to simply buy Nvidia's chips off the shelf. They are designing their own, purpose-built silicon tuned to their specific models, workloads, and cost structures. Continue reading

Juan Jose Napuri/iStock via Getty Images GoGold Resources ( GLGDF ) up 9.7% in Monday's trading after saying Mexico's federal environmental department has granted all permits and approvals required to construct the Los Ricos South bulk tonnage underground mine in Jalisco state. GoGold ( GLGDF ) said the approval represents "a transformative milestone" that paves the way for the company to add a second producing asset to its Mexico-focused portfolio. The company said its board approved a construction decision to begin construction of the project, which is expected to take 24 months from commencement until first pour. Los Ricos South is envisioned as a 15-year mine with the capacity to produce 80M payable silver equivalent oz, including 7.3M annually over the first five years, according to a feasibility study published in 2025. The study, which used a $26.80/oz base-case silver price and $2,330/oz gold price, gave the project an after-tax net present value with a 5% discount rate at $355M with a 28% after-tax internal rate of return; the project's initial capital was pegged at $227M, while sustaining capital would require an additional $100M.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is in talks with investors to refinance a nearly $1 billion loan at a 15% interest rate for Sable Offshore Corp. , a Trump administration-supported oil driller, according to people familiar with the matter. The company, which resumed selling crude in March after over a decade-long hiatus, has a term loan from Exxon Mobil Corp. that expires on June 26. Sable’s banker, JPMorgan, has been discussing refinancing terms with potential investors at a 15% coupon with 20% amortization payments, according to the people who asked not to be identified because the information is private. The bank is considering offering the debt at 98% of face value, one of the people said. JPMorgan declined to comment. Sable didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Houston-based Sable is pumping 46,000 barrels of oil daily from a cluster of platforms off the coast of Santa Barbara after President Donald Trump invoked Cold War-era powers to override state-level opposition to the project. The platforms were previously owned by Exxon and have been essentially offline since a Plains All American LP pipeline burst in 2015, staining beaches and provoking alarm from regulators, environmentalists and local residents. “There’s a lot of moving parts here, but we’re confident with our bank, JPMorgan and the group they have together as far as being able to execute on this plan with plenty of time to spare,” Jim Flores , Sable’s chief executive officer said on an investor call last week.

Apple delivered on what Wall Street was expecting: a complete artificial intelligence overhaul — leveraging Google's Gemini in a new conversational Siri and updating the company's in-house AI efforts. Just before the Siri news was announced at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on Monday afternoon, Apple shares were up more than 3%. We know that a single day's stock move is not the whole story — but by the end of the event, the stock was down more than 1%. Buy the rumor, sell the news? Perhaps. The stock has been ripping higher going into WWDC — and at Monday's session highs, it set another all-time, intraday high. No matter the reason, we have seen this type of trading pattern before around big Apple events. What matters is what Apple announced, not how a fickle market trades the shares. AAPL 1D mountain Apple 1 day Siri has been rebuilt. With AI at its core, the personal assistant is more capable and conversational than ever. In fact, given what we saw on stage, it now finally strikes us as an actual personal assistant, not the simple, one-answer chatbot we've come to know and disregard. This revamped, more personalized Siri also extends to AirPods and CarPlay. Models can run both on device and on private cloud servers, which offer enhanced privacy as the data is either on your device or encrypted on cloud servers to the point that even Apple cannot access it. We would expect nothing less from Apple, whose reputation is as much about innovation as it is user privacy. On-screen awareness allows Siri to better understand your request in context and provide a more personal answer. Users can now ask a question about what they're looking at on their screen. Systemwide integration means that Siri can do things like search all user content based on a request, or open apps and input information. For example, you can request that Siri find an image without opening the Photos app or ask about a recent text message conversation. Whatever the ask, a new data...

An exchange-traded product that profits when oil prices fall had its biggest weekly outflow on record as several buffers that had helped keep rallies in check begin to fade. Investors pulled roughly $220 million from the ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Crude Oil ETF last week, the most on record, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The fund returns twice the inverse of the daily performance of its underlying index, which rose 2.2% during the period. Meanwhile, several vehicles designed to profit from higher oil prices, including the United States Oil Fund and Brent Oil Fund , saw notable inflows over the same time frame. The outflow comes as global oil reserves draw down at a record pace, while a flare-up in hostilities across the Middle East threatens to complicate negotiations. The US-Iran war has led to the near-closure of the crucial Strait of Hormuz, curtailing supplies of crude from the region to global customers and fueling a wave of retail interest in oil trading. “The swift resolution that could have sent oil prices sharply lower has not materialized, while upside risks to oil remain in place,” said Bret Kenwell , analyst at eToro , which tracks retail investing. “For an inverse oil ETF, that backdrop makes it harder for investors to stick around too long — and in a leveraged product, volatility is the opportunity while time is the risk.” He also notes that last week’s outflow may have been driven by a correction following a previous two-week rally, as well as a recent four-to-one reverse stock split that “served as a reminder not to overstay their welcome in a leveraged product.” The outflow belies an otherwise bearish market backdrop, defying early forecasts made at the onset of the conflict that predicted oil could surge to $200 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate futures are down about a fifth since the US and Tehran agreed to a ceasefire in early April, pressured by record US exports, a slowdown in Chinese demand and a steady trickle of crude finding...
