The apparel company's shares fell by over 15.5% on the trading following the earnings release, hitting new multi-year lows. An initial look at Nike's latest results and guidance reveals why these numbers elicited an investor exodus. However, a closer look, particularly at one metric, shows that Wall Street is missing the big picture. Namely, that while the current macroeconomic backdrop is producing various challenges for the famed sneaker company , better times could be just around the corner. Image source: Getty Images.

A user on Quizlet, an online learning platform, created a public flashcard set in February that appears to have exposed highly confidential information about security procedures in US Customs and Border Protection facilities around Kingsville, Texas. The Quizlet set, titled “USBP Review,” was available to the public until March 20, when it was made private less than half an hour after WIRED messaged a phone number potentially linked to the Quizlet user. Though an individual with the user’s name was listed at an address of an apartment less than a mile from a Kingsville CBP facility, WIRED has not been able to verify that the flashcard set was created by an active CBP agent or contractor. “This incident is being reviewed by CBP’s Office of Professional Responsibility,” a CBP spokesperson wrote in a statement to WIRED. “We will not be getting ahead of this review. A review should not be taken as an indication of wrongdoing.” Read full article Comments

Feverpitched/iStock via Getty Images AVGO stock: FQ1 2026 earnings reveal multi-year visibility My last work on Broadcom Inc. ( AVGO ) was published on Feb 24. That article focused on the options (put options in particular) for the stock and ended with a buy rating. Since then, there have been a few new catalysts evolving around AVGO both in terms of macroeconomics and also company specifics. In the remainder of this article, I will focus on updates provided in its FQ1 2026 earnings report (ER). In a nutshell, I see years of profit and growth visibility for the company from its FQ1 ER. With the combined effects of its updated growth potential and the valuation correction amid the broader market’s ongoing volatility, I also believe this potential is priced at a discounted price, as reflected by a PEG (P/E growth) ratio far below 1x. As such, I keep seeing a skewed return/risk curve and maintain my buy rating. Let me start with a very brief recap of the ER released on March 4. As seen in the snapshot below, Broadcom demonstrated another quarter of consistent top- and bottom-line expansion in FQ1. Revenue has scaled significantly from $14.92B in FQ1 2025 to $19.31B in the past quarter, representing a robust year-over-year (YOY) growth rate of almost 30%. This revenue acceleration is mirrored in the bottom-line too, as EPS rose from $1.60 in the prior year's Q1 to $2.05 in the last quarter, representing a YOY growth rate of more than 28%. Seeking Alpha AVGO stock: growth-adjusted valuation With the updated growth curve and the share price changes since the ER, Broadcom currently presents a valuation profile that appears very attractive either in absolute terms or relative to close peers. As an example, the chart below compares its FWD P/E ratios and PEG ratios to the Magnificent Seven stocks (with TSLA excluded). As seen, with a non-GAAP FY1 P/E of 27.72x, AVGO’s raw multiple is well aligned with the rest of this group of overachievers. It is below Apple's 30x P/E, in-l...

Prosecutors say Anthony Odiong exploited his parishioners’ emotional dependency to engage in sexual conduct with them A Roman Catholic priest with ties to Texas and south-east Louisiana and criminally charged with abusing his position as a clergyman to pursue sex with three spiritually vulnerable female congregants faces being taken to trial on all of those cases at once. The Texas district attorney’s office prosecuting Anthony Odiong filed a motion seeking to consolidate the three cases in late March, ahead of a trial date that the Guardian understands has tentatively been set for 4 May. Prepared by McLennan county first assistant district attorney Ryan Calvert, the motion notes that Texas state law allows “a defendant [to] be prosecuted in a single criminal action” if the crimes alleged “are connected or … are the repeated commission of the same or similar offenses”.

As medieval sages understood, putting things off – done well – can open the doors to creativity and purpose A soft rain hammers at the window. I’ve pushed the couch to the other side of the coffee table because I need to get closer to my floor lamp. In front of me is a stack of 40 student essays, unopened and ungraded. The water I boiled for tea went cold an hour ago and I’m looking up the age of ...
As medieval sages understood, putting things off – done well – can open the doors to creativity and purpose A soft rain hammers at the window. I’ve pushed the couch to the other side of the coffee table because I need to get closer to my floor lamp. In front of me is a stack of 40 student essays, unopened and ungraded. The water I boiled for tea went cold an hour ago and I’m looking up the age of celebrities on Wikipedia. David Hasselhoff (born 17 July 1952). Dannii Minogue (born 20 October 1971). Has my afternoon been wasted? Is this … procrastination ? Today the P-word has a bad reputation. Psychologists link it with increased anxiety, diminished self-esteem and depression. And magazines (like the ones I just sorted into a date-ordered stack) feature articles with headlines such as “How to Stop Procrastinating, NOW!” Am I one of the 20% of the population with “chronic procrastination”, the lifelong tendency to avoid doing the things I should be doing? A few years ago, this would have alarmed me – but now I no longer worry. I embrace days like this. Because an obscure idea I discovered in a work of medieval theology has taught me how to relax.

The energy crisis sparked by the war is making some countries consider ramping up their use of dirty fuels Not two months in office, as the price of west Texas crude approached $14 a barrel, President Jimmy Carter donned a cardigan to speak candidly about his strategy to face the permanent energy shortage he saw in the nation’s future. His “fireside chat” is mostly remembered for asking Americans to lower the thermostat to 65F in the daytime and 55F at night, an idea that didn’t go down too well in the bitter winter of 1977.

The best-selling novelist explains why his new retelling of Homer’s epic offers the ideal antidote to the age of Trump Yann Martel’s writing studio, where he sits while we talk over Zoom, is a mere 10ft by 12ft; beyond his treadmill desk lie the drifts of snow that separate him from the house he shares with his wife, writer Alice Kuipers, and their four children. Martel was born in Spain, but his father’s academic work took the family to places including Portugal, France, Costa Rica and Alaska; perhaps it’s no surprise that, after all that travelling, he’s been settled in Saskatoon, Canada, for many years. But his novels couldn’t be any less rooted, in time or place: from the sea-tossed raft of the Booker prize-winning Life of Pi to the Dante-inspired Beatrice and Virgil and the era-shifting triptych of The High Mountains of Portugal , Martel is clearly possessed of an itinerant imagination. Now comes Son of Nobody , for which Martel has written what the novel’s dismissive professor would term “pseudo-Homerica”; a version of the Trojan war seen from the perspective of an unknown soldier, Psoas, and discovered by an eager researcher in present-day Oxford, Harlow Donne. The poem appears in full, with Harlow’s story – including the breakdown of his marriage and his relationship with his young daughter, Helen – presented via digressive footnotes, at times scholarly but just as often humorous and domestic.

The US has invoked national security to remove protections for the endangered cetacean, of which only about 50 are left Since before modern humans existed Rice’s whales have been diving to the depths of the ocean to gorge on fat-rich fish while growing to leviathan proportions, their bodies spanning the length of a bus and weighing as much as as six elephants. Unfortunately for these grand creatures, their only home became a patch of the Gulf of Mexico that the oil and gas industry, much later, became highly interested in for drilling. Only about 50 of these baleen whales still exist on Earth, surrounded by clanging aquatic highways of boats and shifting drilling infrastructure. Continue reading...
In April 1976, the flawless Watergate film premiered in Washington – cast members and reporters share their memories of ‘the granddaddy of journalism movies’ The rustle of a notepad.

In April 1976, the flawless Watergate film premiered in Washington – cast members and reporters share their memories of ‘the granddaddy of journalism movies’ The rustle of a notepad. The click of a pen lid. On a floral-patterned sofa sits Dustin Hoffman with long hair, big collar and a lean and hungry look. Opposite is Jane Alexander, wearing a blue button-down dress, cornered and nervous in the glow of a table lamp. In this taut, claustrophobic acting masterclass , no detail is too small. “The makeup artists ran in because the sweat was pouring off Dustin’s face,” Alexander recalls with a laugh. “Gordon [Willis, cinematographer] said, ‘Don’t touch that, I’m lighting off his sweat!’ I love that.” Continue reading...
