5./15 WEST/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Shares of Pinterest ( PINS ) fell as much as 10.3% on Tuesday after the company disclosed in a Securities and Exchange filing that it would trim its workforce by less than 15% and shutter some offices. The move is expected to impact roughly 700 or more employees at the social media company, which had a headcount of about 5,200 at the end of 2025. Pinterest is taking a ~$35M-$45M one-time charge related to the job cuts. Analysts at Evercore ISI calculate the move is expected to generate up to $175M in annual cost savings, although they believe a material portion of the savings would be redeployed back into the business. The research firm said the current share price weakness is indicative of concerns around the company's ability to reaccelerate growth in the U.S. and Canada this year. However, they also note that PINS stock currently has "very reasonable valuation support at these levels." Nearly 23M shares had changed hands by 2:00 p.m. ET on the NYSE, 1.5x its three-month average trading volume. PINS has lost 27.8% in value in the past 12 months.

WHY IT MATTERS: Proposals 1 and 2 are vital to ensuring that the Company has the governance flexibility and capital structure capacity to support its financial obligations, maintain operating flexibility, and support ongoing business needs, while Proposal 3 would provide the Company with the procedural authority to adjourn the Special Meeting if additional time is needed to secure votes for these proposals. The Board of Directors encourages stockholders to vote promptly, as if the Special Meeting is adjourned to a later date, the Company would incur additional time and expense associated with reconvening the meeting. Proposal 3: Approval of the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event there are insufficient votes for the approval of Proposal 1 or Proposal 2. Proposal 2: An amendment to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 1,500,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 shares. The Board believes this amendment is the most effective way to provide the flexibility required to meet financial obligations, maintain operating flexibility, and support ongoing business needs. If this proposal is not approved, the Company would proceed with a reverse stock split. Proposal 1: An amendment to the Company’s charter to modernize its voting standards by aligning them with current Delaware law. This amendment would allow certain future charter amendments to be approved by a majority of the votes cast, where permitted by Delaware law, rather than a majority of outstanding shares, and is intended to address prior voting outcomes in which proposals supported by a substantial majority of the votes cast were not approved under the Company’s voting standard . This Special Meeting follows the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, where stockholders expressed strong support for the proposal to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, with approximately 84 percent of the votes cast in favor...

Earnings Call Insights: Sysco Corporation (SYY) Q2 2026 Management View CEO Kevin Hourican highlighted strong Q2 results, attributing performance to “improving case volume trends, strengthening gross margin performance and disciplined expense management.” Hourican announced, “we now expect full year adjusted EPS to be at the high end of our previously provided annual guidance range of $4.50 to $4.60.” Sysco delivered nearly $21 billion in total revenue, with a 3% year-over-year growth rate, and positive case growth across all business units. USFS local case volume was up 1.2%, a 140 basis point improvement versus Q1. Hourican emphasized, “we expect reported local volume growth of at least positive 2.5% in both Q3 and Q4.” The company completed the acquisition of Ginsberg's Foods, expanding its presence in the Northeast. COO Greg Bertrand is transitioning to retirement, remaining as a strategic adviser for the next year. CFO Kenny Cheung stated, “Our Q2 results were strong with sales growth of 3% and adjusted EPS growth of 6.5%. Our financial results this quarter also demonstrated high quality of earnings as free cash flow grew by 25% year-to-date.” Outlook Hourican projected, “we expect continued positive momentum for the second half of the year… we expect reported local volume growth of at least positive 2.5% in both Q3 and Q4.” He specified, “at least 2.1% to come from organic local case growth… with approximately 50 basis points additional contribution from M&A activity recently completed.” Cheung updated, “we are confident in raising our FY '26 guidance to the high end of the adjusted EPS range.” The company expects net sales growth of approximately 3% to 5% to $84 billion to $85 billion, driven by inflation of approximately 2%, volume growth, and M&A contributions. Cheung stated, “we continue to expect our disciplined actions to generate strong gross profit dollars per case in margins in this backdrop.” Shareholder returns are targeted at approximately $1 billi...

Kim stated, "We expect year-over-year revenue growth in the range of 15% to 20% for 2026. This will ...

Workers Party of Britain pick by-election candidate 1 hour ago Share Save Tom Mullen North West Share Save Manchester City Council Shahbaz Sarwar currently a member of Manchester City Council The Workers Party of Britain has announced a "star councillor" as its candidate for the forthcoming Gorton and Denton by-election. Shahbaz Sarwar is currently a councillor for the party on Manchester City Council, representing the city's Longsight ward. The by-election in the Greater Manchester constituency was triggered by the resignation of Andrew Gwynne, who stepped down last week for health reasons. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham had hoped to stand as Labour's candidate but was blocked at the weekend by his party's ruling National Executive Committee (NEC), a move that has angered some MPs. At the general election in July 2024, George Galloway's Workers Party of Britain got 10.3% of the vote and came fourth. Gwynne secured 50.8% of the vote, enough for a majority of more than 13,000 ahead of Reform UK (14.1%). The Greens, on 13.2%, came third. The Conservatives (7.9%) and Liberal Democrats (3.8%) were respectively fifth and sixth. 'Easy manner' In a post on X, the Workers Party of Britain described Sarwar as a "star councillor" and said Labour had "forgotten" about them. Writing on the same social media platform from his own account, Galloway praised Sarwar's "easy manner" and said he had first met him "on a freezing night" when he was handing out hot food to the homeless. If Burnham had been successful in a by-election, it would have triggered a mayoral election to replace him in Greater Manchester. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said Labour's resources should be "focused on the elections that we must have, not the elections that we don't have to have". About 50 Labour MPs have signed a letter urging the NEC to reconsider its decision to block Burnham. Earlier, Reform UK unveiled GB News presenter and academic turned activist Matt Goodwin as its candidate for the b...

dem10/iStock via Getty Images The U.S.'s population growth has slowed sharply, with an increase of only 1.8M, or 0.5% from July 1, 2024, to July 1, 2025, the slowest rate of growth since the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Census Bureau said on Tuesday. The growth contrasts with the 1.0% growth in 2024, which represented the fastest annual population growth rate since 2006. The rate of population growth is important because it's a contributor to the nation's ability to increase its economic growth. GDP is a function of population growth and productivity rates. An increase in population both increases demand and the labor force, allowing the country to boost production. Artificial intelligence proponents say that the technology can bolster productivity, allowing production gains with the same number or fewer people. But economists haven't seen a big impact yet from AI. “The slowdown in U.S. population growth is largely due to a historic decline in net international migration , which dropped from 2.7M to 1.3M in the period from July 2024 through June 2025,” said Christine Hartley, assistant division chief for Estimates and Projections at the Census Bureau. “With births and deaths remaining relatively stable compared to the prior year, the sharp decline in net international migration is the main reason for the slower growth rate we see today.” If current trends continue, net international migration is expected to be ~321K by July 2026, which would be a decline of almost 1M since July 1, 2025. Natural change, or the number of births minus the number of deaths, accounted for ~519K in the year, about the same as the prior year. That number represents a significant drop, though, from previous decades. In 2017, natural change was ~1.1M, and during the 2000-to-2010 period, it ranged between 1.6M and 1.9M. All four census regions and every state, except Monta na and West Virginia, saw their population growth slow or their decline accelerate. South Carolina exp...

Despite recently announcing that it expects its fourth-quarter results to be at the high end of its guidance range, shares are getting crushed. Lululemon Athletica (LULU 2.99%) shares are down about 10% year to date as of this writing, extending a rough stretch for the stock as investors grapple with tariffs, a CEO change, and disappointing sales in the U.S. Combining the stock's slide this year with its pullback of approximately 46% last year, the stock is now down about 51% since the beginning of last year. Is this a good time to buy the stock? After all, the company recently provided a positive update on its business, saying that it now expects its fourth-quarter results to come in at the high end of its guidance range. Two different geographical stories On the surface, Lululemon's results look decent -- especially when compared to the stock's conservative valuation. In its most recent quarter, Lululemon's net revenue rose 7% year over year to $2.6 billion. Notably, this was in line with the company's 7% growth in the prior quarter, highlighting sequential stability in the company's overall demand trends. But what has investors concerned is what lies underneath. In Q3, Lululemon's Americas net revenue fell 2% year over year, while international net revenue rose 33%. And the decline in its Americas segment is even more pronounced when looking at comparable sales trends. The key metric, which measures year-over-year sales trends at stores that have been open for more than a year and e-commerce sales, declined 5% year over year in Americas. With Americas accounting for 68% of Lululemon's third-quarter revenue, it makes sense that investors are concerned about this core market's weakness. Adding to the problem, the U.S. -- Lululemon's largest market -- has been even weaker than the broader Americas segment. Management said in its third-quarter earnings call that U.S. revenue fell 3% year over year during the period. Also an issue, Lululemon's third-quarter gross marg...

As part of its ongoing crusade against abortion pills, Texas sued a nurse practitioner on Tuesday, accusing her of shipping pills into Texas in defiance of the state’s abortion ban. The nurse practitioner, Debra Lynch, operates a Delaware-based group called Her Safe Harbor, which mails abortion pills to women living in states with abortion bans. Now, Texas wants a court to block Lynch from “performing, inducing or attempting abortions” in Texas, on the grounds that Texas law only permits physicians to facilitate abortions in cases of medical emergencies. Groups like Her Safe Harbor have proliferated in the four years since the US supreme court overturned Roe v Wade, as Delaware and a handful of other blue states have enacted so-called “shield laws”. These laws typically aim to protect abortion providers from out-of-state prosecutions, lending legal cover to providers who ship pills across state lines. But such efforts have enraged anti-abortion advocates and sparked a legal war between states that protect abortion rights and states that ban the procedure. Texas has already sued a New York-based doctor, Margaret Carpenter, over allegations that she mailed abortion pills into the state, while Louisiana has indicted both Carpenter and a California-based doctor named Remy Coeytaux. Officials in New York and California, which also have shield laws on the books, have refused to cooperate with those efforts. The safeguards offered by each state’s shield law vary. Eight states, including New York and California, clearly allow providers to use telemedicine to prescribe abortion pills to patients located in states where the procedure is banned. But legal experts have questioned whether Delaware’s shield law, which was first passed in 2022, always protects providers who offer telemedicine across state lines. Delaware’s law was expanded in late 2025, in part to clarify that officials may not aid out-of-state investigations into abortion providers – a move that may offer Lynch a...

Survivors of Auschwitz, the Nazi concentration camp, laid flowers and candles at the memorial site on Tuesday, as commemorations marking its liberation 81 years ago took place around Europe and beyond. Marking International Holocaust Memorial Day, Jewish leaders across the continent warned against forgetting the extermination of millions, while some of the few remaining survivors urged ordinary people to stand up against populism and extremism. One survivor, Tova Friedman, 87, who is due to address the German parliament on Wednesday said she would be speaking directly to the far-right Alternative für Deutschland in her speech and asking them: “How dare you? Who do you think you are?” The official day of remembrance of Soviet troops’ liberation of the few surviving prisoners of Auschwitz in 1945 from the clutches of their Nazi German captors is 27 January. It was declared the official German day of remembrance in 1996, and officially adopted by the United Nations in 2005. At the Auschwitz memorial site 24 former prisoners braved freezing temperatures to lay wreaths at the ‘death wall’ where German soldiers killed mainly Polish political prisoners. Polish president Karol Nawrocki later joined survivors for a ceremony at nearby Birkenau, the huge site to which Jews from across Europe were transported to be murdered in gas chambers.

Photograph: Liesa Johannssen/Reuters About 1.1 million Jews were murdered at Auschwitz alone, as well as Poles, Roma and others, including people persecuted for their religious or sexual orientation. At the snow-covered Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in central Berlin, a sea of grey concrete blocks built as an indelible symbol of Germany’s contrition, candles were lit and white roses laid on the slabs. Elsewhere events were held at museums, schools and railway stations across the country while informal gatherings took place in town...

Dallas, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VetsForever, a VA-accredited law group dedicated to helping veterans successfully navigate the VA claims process, announces its support for California Senate Bill 694. California is home to more than 1.2 million veterans, making it one of the top three states in the nation by veteran population as of 2024. Introduced in 2025, Senate Bill 694 (SB 694) is advancing through the California Legislature and is designed to safeguard veterans from unscrupulous practices that exploit those seeking help with VA claims. “Veterans serve their countries with honor, and our service-disabled veterans deserve our appreciation and the benefits they’ve earned,” says Trinidad Aguirre, co-founder and CEO of VetsForever. “SB 694 represents a critical step forward in shielding California’s veterans from deceptive and predatory practices.” VetsForever provides legal services to U.S. veterans worldwide, with four team members currently residing in California. This legislation provides much-needed clarity around who is authorized to offer paid assistance to California veterans with VA benefits claims and reinforces why accreditation and oversight matter. If enacted, SB 694 would prohibit individuals from receiving compensation for preparing, presenting, or prosecuting claims for federal veterans benefits unless they are accredited by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as an attorney or claims agent. The bill would also bar claim sharks from accessing VA computer systems using a veteran’s login credentials and from charging fees for claims assistance that exceed those permitted for VA-accredited attorneys or claims agents. “VetsForever strongly supports legal protections at both the state and federal level that prevent the exploitation of veterans, and SB 694 is a prime example,” adds Aguirre. “We’re encouraged by California’s momentum toward joining the growing list of states taking a firm stand against claim sharks.” Through this legislation, ...

Daniel Wright/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI ) is one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in the world with a more than $60 billion market cap.

Key Points Expectations are sky high for Micron stock in 2026 and 2027. NAND demand is skyrocketing, while NAND supply says flat. 10 stocks we like better than Micron Technology › After taking a bit of a breather on Monday, Micron (NASDAQ: MU) stock resumed marching higher on Tuesday, gaining 6.6% through 1:25 p.m. ET after Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh raised his price target for Micron stock (again!), and this time from $390 to $480 per share. If that name rings a bell, it should. A little over two weeks ago, Rakesh was the same Mizuho analyst who raised Micron's price target to $390 after updating his outlook for semiconductor stocks in the new year. 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 » Image source: Micron. Why Mizuho loves Micron Last time around, Rakesh simply cited "attractive valuations" as propitious for semi stocks. Today, he gave details on why Micron specifically is primed to run higher: Because NAND prices are set to explode. The price of computer NAND memory, says Rakesh in a note covered on TheFly.com, could soar 330% in 2026, followed by another 50% price spike in 2027. Add those gains up, and we're potentially looking at NAND prices in 2027 that are 5 times higher than in 2025. What's driving the price spike? Simply this: NAND demand is forecast to rise 20% this year, but NAND production will remain flat. And as we all learned in Econ 101, when rising demand meets flat supply, prices rise. Is Micron stock a buy? What does this mean for Micron stock? In a nutshell, it means more sales. Higher profit margins. More profit. More growth. This year alone, analysts forecast Micron stock to earn $31.73 per share. That would be more than four times the company's 2025 profit, and implies a price-to-earnings ratio of just 13 on this $414 stock. With earnings expected to grow 21% more in 2027, the time to buy is now. Should you buy stock in Micron Technology right no...

If a proposal to allow the company to double its number of shares outstanding passes, shareholders would face a significant dilution risk. 10 stocks we like better than BigBear.ai › Some investors and tech industry analysts are worried about the possibility that the artificial intelligence (AI) industry is in a bubble. Major tech companies like Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms are investing hundreds of billions of dollars to build data centers and infrastructure to support the AI software systems being developed.
