Danny Funt, author of 'Everybody Loses: The Tumultuous Rise of American Sports Gambling,' said that online sports betting is a 'whole new ballgame' as the ability to make thousands of real time bets 24/7 has ballooned over the last decade, outpacing any attempt to regulate sportsbooks. Funt detailed how sports leagues changed their tune on betting when officials learned that gambling could revitalize struggling media deals and make a windfall for major sports. Funt also talked about the meteoritic rise of prediction markets as regulators question what counts as gambling. (Source: Bloomberg)

Andrii Shablovskyi/iStock via Getty Images Introduction It has been over a year since the first time I covered Allison Transmission ( ALSN ), and now that we have the full year’s results, it is a good time as any to revisit. Since the first article , when I gave it a hold rating, due to an uncertain macroeconomic outlook, the company’s share price advanced 16.6% vs SPY’s ( SPY ) 11.5%. The trucking demand remains soft in key markets, with some positives in other segments; however, not enough to offset the negatives fully. Therefore, my initial hold rating stands. Briefly on Performance Now that we have the full year under our belt, let’s take a look at the top-line performance. Revenue for FY25 was around $3B, which is down almost 7% y/y. The same issue is still causing the company’s top-line performance to be lackluster. The NA on-highway demand, especially medium-duty and vocational truck builds, is causing it. On the positive side, the defense segment and outside NA sales helped offset the issues slightly. Seeking Alpha Going over the company’s margin development in 2025, we can see a mixed bag. Overall, gross profitability stayed strong, but its operating expenses and product mix moved quite a bit over the year. Most of the margins went down at the end of the year, apart from gross margins, which essentially were maintained. Pricing held up pretty well, with contractual pass throughs helping the company maintain and even improve gross margins. Seeking Alpha With the decline in the bottom line, we naturally get a decline in other efficiency metrics like ROA and ROE. These are still quite attractive, but they have declined quite a bit from the beginning of the year. Also, the company’s return on total capital took a hit, which is not ideal. The company may be losing its pricing power, and its moat is eroding. Seeking Alpha Going over to the company’s balance sheet, ALSN finished the year with around $1.5B in cash and equivalents, against close to $2.9B in long-ter...

Driverless vehicle growth in terms of technology and scale is accelerating rapidly in the U.S. and around the world, and businesses leading this charge are poised to expand just as rapidly. The evolution of driverless vehicles marks a massive transformation in the transportation industry and could present investors a once-in-a-generation opportunity to profit. But choosing the right business is a challenge. Here are three stocks well positioned to thrive with the rise of autonomous vehicles. Autonomous trucking is arguably one of the most intriguing angles in the driverless arena, and Aurora Innovation (NASDAQ: AUR) is a pioneer. Being a carrier in the industry is a game of margins. With autonomous trucks able to work around the clock, it's a key driver of business growth. For long-term investors, there's reason to be excited about the company's recent steps forward. Aurora Innovation first deployed driverless trucks in April of last year. It then released its first software update that validated driverless operations between Dallas and Houston, a second update that validated operations at night, and a third that validated El Paso. Now with the fourth software update, Aurora expects to give Aurora Driver the capabilities to autonomously navigate the southern United States. Continue reading
