Pandora A/S forecast slowing sales this year and said it will pause buybacks while reducing its exposure to volatile silver prices. The Danish jeweler expects organic sales to grow as much as 2% in a best-case scenario and to decline as much as 1% otherwise, in what would be the first sales drop since the pandemic. That missed analysts’ consensus of 3.9% growth. Share buybacks will be resumed once it has made progress on plans to shift to platinum-plated jewelry, it added. “The US has slowed, silver prices are high, and costs could initially climb amid the disruption of plans to transition to some platinum-plating,” Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Deborah Aitken and Andrea Ferdinando Leggieri wrote in a note . Jefferies cut its recommendation on the stock to hold this week, leaving the jeweler with just four buys out of 22 ratings. The company is caught “between a rock and a hard place” as volatile silver prices and increasingly cautious consumers worsen existing margin pressures, analysts including Frederick Wild said. Pandora cut its organic revenue forecast for 2025 last month, as weak consumer sentiment in the US resulted in fewer shoppers visiting stores. The shares have slumped 28% since the start of 2026 through Wednesday’s close, and are among the biggest laggards in Europe’s Stoxx 600 Index this year. The stock saw some reprieve during a broad selloff in precious metals, though silver remains elevated against historical levels.

As the bodies of two dozen Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes arrived at hospitals in Gaza on Wednesday, the director of one asked a question that has echoed across the war-ravaged territory for months. “Where is the ceasefire? Where are the mediators?” Shifa Hospital’s Mohamed Abu Selmiya wrote on Facebook. At least 556 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes since a US-brokered truce came into effect in October, including 24 on Wednesday and 30 on Saturday, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Advertisement Four Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza in the same period, with more injured, including a soldier whom the military said was severely wounded when militants opened fire near the ceasefire line in northern Gaza overnight. Palestinians make their way through the rubble of destroyed buildings in Gaza City. Photo: AFP Other aspects of the agreement have stalled, including the deployment of an international security force, Hamas’ disarmament and the start of Gaza’s reconstruction. The opening of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt raised hope of further progress, but fewer than 50 people were allowed to cross on Monday.

Chaloemphan/iStock via Getty Images Summary During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Polen 5Perspectives Small Growth Composite Portfolio returned -1.3% gross and -1.5% net of fees, respectively, compared to the 1.2% return of the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The top contributors to relative performance in the period were Bloom Energy ( BE ), GeneDx ( WGS ), and Argan ( AGX ). The most significant detractors from the Portfolio's relative performance in the quarter were Stride ( LRN ), Corcept Therapeutics ( CORT ), and Ramaco Resources ( METC ). After consecutive double digit returns in 2Q and 3Q, small caps – as defined by the Russell 2000 Growth Index – ended the year with a more modest 1.2% return in 4Q. Performance continued to broaden out beyond the AI theme, and Biotech in particular was a standout performer during the quarter. While the prospect of declining interest rates and improving earnings growth has driven more attention to the small cap asset class broadly, we remain most excited about structural tailwinds the asset class enjoys—most notably, the accelerating pace of innovation and the disruption and opportunity it presents for disciplined investors. Seeks Growth & Capital Preservation (Performance (%) as of 12-31-2025) Commentary In some ways, the fourth quarter of 2025 felt like a microcosm of the year overall. Similar to the tariff-related drawdown in the first quarter that gave way to a V-shaped recovery off the April lows, the fourth quarter featured a sharp 10% correction that was erased as quickly as it came with small caps returning to all-time highs later in the quarter. If AI has been the defining theme of market leadership in 2025, a big part of the sell-off in the early part of 4Q came down to growing concerns over the durability of that theme. As a result, the market rotated away from AI and AI adjacent industries like semis, electrical equipment, and tech hardware—much of which had benefitted from the surge higher in data center capex—and in...

Key Points Did you know that the largest initial public offering in 2025 was a boring medical supply company based in Chicago? Medline looks primed and ready to continue delivering on its history of rapid, profitable sales growth 10 stocks we like better than Medline › Did you know that the largest initial public offering in 2025 was a boring medical supply company based in Chicago? But, boring can be beautiful, and Medline (MDLN) looks primed and ready to continue delivering on its history of rapid, profitable sales growth. Just the Facts Medline bills itself as "the largest provider of medical-surgical products and supply chain solutions serving all points of care." It boasts 335,00 products and 33 manufacturing facilities in more than 100 countries. 95% of customers here in the United States can receive next-day delivery. It therefore isn't much of an exaggeration to consider Medline the Amazon (AMZN) of medical and surgical ("medsurg") products. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Hospitals, surgery center, and physicians are among the main users of Medline's medical kits, surgical gloves, wound care, and lab supplies. A key competitive advantage is its namesake Medline Brand products, which count as private label and help boost margins. By serving as both the manufacturer and distributor, it gets to keep the margin another reseller might demand to get its products to market. Medline's M&A History Medline just went public, but was already publicly traded prior to a private buyout back in 2021. The buyout at the time was for $34 billion. The current initial public offering (IPO) was priced at $29 per share and raised $6.3 billion, which will be used to pay down debt. Medline's current valuation is $35.5 billion, or only slightly ahead of the valuation at which it was taken private. Based on the valuation multiple of EV/EBITDA, both the buyout and IPO are in the mid-...

ICE can't make warrantless arrests in Oregon unless there's risk of escape, judge rules toggle caption Jenny Kane/AP PORTLAND, Ore. — U.S. immigration agents in Oregon must stop arresting people without warrants unless there's a likelihood of escape, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai issued a preliminary injunction in a proposed class-action lawsuit targeting the Department of Homeland Security's practice of arresting immigrants they happen to come across while conducting ramped-up enforcement operations — which critics have described as "arrest first, justify later." The department, which is named as a defendant in the suit, did not immediately comment in response to a request from The Associated Press. Similar actions, including immigration agents entering private property without a warrant issued by a court, have drawn concern from civil rights groups across the country amid President Donald Trump's mass deportation efforts. Sponsor Message Courts in Colorado and Washington, D.C., have issued rulings like Kasubhai's, and the government has appealed them. In a memo last week, Todd Lyons, the acting head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, emphasized that agents should not make an arrest without an administrative arrest warrant issued by a supervisor unless they develop probable cause to believe that the person is in the U.S. illegally and likely to escape from the scene before a warrant can be obtained. But the judge heard evidence that agents in Oregon have arrested people in immigration sweeps without such warrants or determining escape was likely. The daylong hearing included testimony from one plaintiff, Victor Cruz Gamez, a 56-year-old grandfather who has been in the U.S. since 1999. He told the court he was arrested and held in an immigration detention facility for three weeks even though he has a valid work permit and a pending visa application. Cruz Gamez testified that he was driving home from work in October w...

Nippon Steel Corp. dropped after the Japanese company was reported to be considering selling as much as 500 billion yen ($3.2 billion) of convertible bonds. The steelmaker is weighing a final decision as soon as this month, Reuters reported on Thursday, citing two unidentified people with knowledge of the matter. A company spokesperson told Bloomberg News that nothing has been decided. Its shares fell as much as 7.6% before paring losses and are still set for the biggest drop since December. At $3.2 billion, the potential Nippon Steel convertible-bond sale would be among the largest by Asian companies involving bonds that can be converted into stock. Chinese delivery firm ZTO Express Cayman Inc. this week raised $1.5 billion from convertible bonds, and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. last year also raised $3.2 billion from such instruments. Nippon Steel is planning to invest 6 trillion yen over the next five years, including in US Steel, which the Japanese company acquired last year. Capital needs are rising to support overseas expansion, particularly in the US, where demand is expected to grow.
