For this year’s Integrated Systems Europe trade show, AMD is unveiling an upgraded lineup of its Kintex mid-range FPGAs. Dubbed the Kintex UltraScale+ Gen 2 family, this latest iteration of the Kintex family is designed to modernize the FPGAs, bringing support for newer and faster memory, I/O, and cryptography technologies. As with the existing (Gen 1) Kintex UltraScale+ parts, AMD is planning on offering the FPGAs over the long term, with availability through at least 2045. At a high level, the new Kintex UltraScale+ Gen 2 parts are intended to augment the lower-half of AMD’s existing Kintex UltraScale+ SoC family. Altogether there are 3 planned versions of the Gen 2 chips, with the largest topping out at 491,000 logic cells. With both the original and Gen 2 chips intended to be available out to the same 2045+ timeframe, the Gen 2 chips are not so much a replacement for the previous chips as they are another option for customers who need more (and more modern) I/O resources for a given FPGA compute performance level. Compared to the original parts, the biggest upgrade here are the memory controllers, which AMD is significantly bulking up. Whereas the comparable gen 1 parts all feature a single hard block 64-bit DDR4 memory controller, the Gen 2 chips increase this to either 128-bits (4×32-bit hard blocks) or 192-bits (6×32-bit hard blocks) of LPDDR4X/5/5X depending on the SKU. As a result, the Gen 2 chips offer multiple times the memory bandwidth of the original chips, boosting bandwidth both via the 2-3x larger memory bus, and being able to run at 4266Mbps/pin, versus DDR4’s more pokey 2677Mbps/pin. The memory technology update also serves to help future-proof the FPGAs over the long window that AMD wants to offer them. DDR4 production is already in decline, whereas LPDDR – and particularly LPDDR5X – is going to be readily available much farther in to the future. So although the Gen 2 chips are not especially taking advantage of the higher bandwidth potential of L...

Bank of Åland Plc Financial Statement Release February 4, 2026, 9.00 EET Year-end Report for the period January–December 2025 Record results and solid growth “The year 2025 was the most successful year financially in the history of the Bank of Åland. Income amounted to EUR 67.2 million (65.0), while we also maintained solid growth. “During the year, our deposits grew by 7 per cent to EUR 3,760 million and our lending by 5 per cent to EUR 3,762 million. Our actively managed customer assets rose by 14 per cent, for the first time exceeding the EUR 12 billion mark and at the end of the year amounted to EUR 12,119 billion. During the year, we had a strong net flow of new customer assets, EUR 708 million. “In terms of income, our net interest income decreased to EUR 95.2 million (104.1) as was expected due to falling market interest rates. What was surprising on the positive side was that we succeeded in raising our net commission income by 12 percent to EUR 85.7 million (76.4), which compensated for the decreasing net interest income. The net commission income benefited from increased activity in the stock markets. Expenses developed in line with our planning. “The Bank of Åland has a strong liquidity and capital position, and we also continue to see very good numbers in our customer satisfaction surveys. Altogether, these create strong conditions for our motivated employees to create continued growth. “For 2025, we generated a return on equity of 17.8 per cent. Our ambition for 2026 as well is to create a return on equity that exceeds our long-term financial goals of 15 per cent.” Peter Wiklöf, Managing Director and Chief Executive January-December 2025 compared to January−December 2024 Net operating profit increased by 3 per cent and amounted to EUR 67.2 M (65.0). Core income consisting of net interest income, net commission income and IT income remained at an unchanged level EUR 214.7 M (215.6). Other income increased to EUR 5.6 M (0.7). Total expenses increased by 3...

As the popular fintech stock trades sideways, institutional investors are increasing their positions. During mid- to late 2025, shares in SoFi Technologies (SOFI 1.29%) were on a tear. Shares zoomed from under $10 to over $30 per share thanks to a series of promising quarterly results. In more recent months, however, bullishness has screeched to a halt. Worse yet, after staying range-bound from September through January, this fintech stock has started to pull back, and now appears to be on a downward trajectory. SoFi has been a "meme stock" in the past, but institutional investors, many of whom bought into the stock last year, could be driving recent price action. Even so, that may not necessarily mean it's time to follow their lead. Numerous heavy hitters bought into SoFi last year Based on 13-F filings for the quarter ending Sept. 30, 2025, SoFi Technologies attracted a considerable amount of investor inflows from major asset managers. During the period, J.P. Morgan Chase increased its position by 18 million shares, to around 65 million shares, equating to 5.4% of shares outstanding. Funds managed by BlackRock also upped their stakes during the September quarter. In total, the funds increased their position by around 13.5 million shares, giving the asset manager control of around 5.2% of SoFi's outstanding stock. Alongside these asset managers, Wall Street trading firms like Susquehanna, Citadel, and Jane Street also increased net positions, to the tune of 10.6 million, 8.6 million, and 7.9 million shares, respectively. Irrespective of Wall Street's angle, stay focused on the long-term bull case In a few weeks, asset managers will release their next round of 13-F filings. It will be interesting to see if these asset managers have cut their positions, but based on recent quarterly results, SoFi's overall growth story appears intact. SoFi continues to gradually grow its loan, banking, and financial services user base. As anticipated in earnings forecasts, incrementa...
More Europe?

More Europe? Draghi Pushes For Federalization As Answer To Europe's Decline Authored by Thomas Brooke via Remix News, Former Italian prime minister and former European Central Bank president Mario Draghi has urged European Union member states to move toward a more federal structure, warning that Europe risks economic and geopolitical decline unless national governments surrender more powers to Brussels. Speaking while receiving an honorary doctorate at KU Leuven in Belgium on Monday, Draghi argued that Europe faces a future in which it risks becoming “subordinated, divided, and deindustrialised at once” as global power shifts further toward the United States and China. Draghi said the collapse of the current economic world order leaves Europe exposed unless it acts collectively, declaring that “the collapse of this order is not itself the threat… the threat is what may replace it.” He argued Europe must choose between remaining dependent on global powers or transforming into a political force capable of defending its own interests. “Of all those who today find themselves squeezed between the United States and China, only Europeans have the option of becoming a true power themselves,” Draghi said. The tone is reminiscent of previous Eurocrats who have used geopolitics and economic crises to call for “more Europe.” “We must decide: do we simply remain a large market, subject to the priorities of others? Or do we take the necessary steps to become a power?” Draghi asked. He argued that Europe commands influence only when powers are centralized at the EU level, pointing to areas such as trade policy, competition law, the single market, and monetary policy. “Where Europe has federated on trade, on competition, on the single market, on monetary policy, we are respected as a power and negotiate as one,” he said. It should be noted that many Europeans considered these areas to be highly bureaucratic, and vie to push through a “one-size-fits-all policy” on nations. He claime...

In this article SHEL-GB Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT This report is from this week's CNBC's UK Exchange newsletter. Like what you see? You can subscribe here. The dispatch It is just over three years since Wael Sawan succeeded Ben van Beurden as chief executive of Shell. While there has been much background noise, not least about a possible takeover bid for BP, a less remarked-upon aspect of Sawan's time at the helm to date is just how often the oil major has beaten expectations on results day. In five of the last eight quarters, Shell has reported better-than-expected earnings, most strikingly when, at the end of October last year, it reported third-quarter earnings of $5.4 billion — comfortably ahead of the $5.1 billion that even the most bullish analysts had forecast. That may reflect nothing more than skilled expectations management. However, for a business as widely-followed in the market as Shell, beating expectations — particularly to this extent — takes some doing. And, given the precipitous year-on-year drop in the oil price, it highlights that Sawan has sharpened Shell's operational performance to an extent perhaps underappreciated by the market. A Shell petrol station in London, U.K., on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026. Chris Ratcliffe | Bloomberg | Getty Images All of which should be borne in mind when, tomorrow, Shell reports results for the fourth quarter of 2025 and for the year as a whole. With Brent crude falling almost 19% over 2025 , and at one point last month, slipping below $60 a barrel for the first time in nearly five years , headline earnings for 2025 are likely to be down by around a fifth on the previous 12 months. For the fourth quarter, they are expected to be down by around 10% year-on-year; Shell indicated in last month's trading update that earnings in its downstream division will be lower, its chemicals arm will report "a significant loss" and that the outcome for its energy trading business "is expected to be significantl...

Strangers used to open doors, help lift my pram and greet me with approval when I looked ‘like a mum’. After one simple haircut, I was treated very differently In November 2000, two weeks after giving birth to my first and only child, I found myself collapsed in bed, breastfeeding in front of Top of the Pops, hair matted, sheets dirty, surrounded by sick-soaked muslin rags. I liked it. Or at least, it felt like a perfectly reasonable thing to be doing, until Madonna – who had given birth to Rocco Ritchie only three months earlier – appeared on the screen in a cropped leather jacket, belly bared, sexy-dancing to Don’t Tell Me. Did I feel inspired? Resentful? Brimming with pity for this attention-seeker? For sure, it was all three. As the weeks wore on, I began to see how it might be possible to shower, put on actual clothes and maybe even pop to the corner shop. Occasional visits to cafes, museums and other warm, baby-friendly spaces soon followed and stopped me from feeling as if I had fallen into a well of loneliness. Continue reading...
