Hustle culture may be the norm at tech companies in the AI era, but the work will stop tomorrow at publishing platform makers Medium. Medium CEO Tony Stubblebine is giving its employees permission to take the day off to participate in tomorrow’s nationwide general strike protesting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. Activists behind the general strike are calling for “no work, no school, and no shopping” amid a push to defund ICE, which has escalated raids in U.S. cities, killing several people including two U.S. citizens earlier this month in Minneapolis. In a Slack message shared today with Medium staff, Stubblebine says all employees are free to participate in the strike however they see fit. “Whether or not you want to fully take the day away from work, or do a partial work day, or orient your work towards something that feels aligned to the goals of the strike, that is up to you,” he wrote in a general announcements channel. The exec clarified that Medium is not “in the business of dictating people’s politics,” so the choice to participate was an individual one, not a company mandate. Of course, the publishing platform has an important role in helping people share news, opinion, insights, and analysis around politics, culture, and other topics. So it can allow its employees to take the day off to protest, Stubblebine said Medium will coordinate with the necessary teams to ensure there’s a plan for “business continuity” on Friday. Tech leaders, including Google DeepMind chief scientist Jeff Dean, have been outspoken in protest of ICE. Still, many large tech companies and executives have spent the last several weeks courting favor with the Trump administration. Some execs — including Apple CEO Tim Cook — were criticized for attending the screening of the Amazon MGM Studios-produced “Melania” documentary on the day federal immigration agents shot and killed ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Many rank-and-file tech employees, meanwhile, have dema...

00:00 Josh Breaking news, Apple earnings just now hitting the tape and Yahoo Finance is Dan Howley is here with the numbers. Dan. 00:08 Dan Howley Yeah, Josh, big beat for Apple here uh on the top and bottom line. They said they recorded all-time record revenue for the iPhone, $85.3 billion. That's well ahead of the 78.3 billion that analysts were anticipating. Uh, the company saw 69.1 billion in the prior quarter. EPS came in at $2.84 on revenue of 143.8 billion. Analysts were anticipating $2.68 on 138.4 billion. So again, a big beat there. Services revenue was in line with expectations. and then we had Mac iPad revenue at 8.4 billion and 8.6 billion respectively. Wearables came in at 11.4 billion. but one important aspect of this is greater China sales. Over the last three of four quarters, they had seen declines in that region. But now, in this quarter, they had 25.5 billion in revenue. That's up nearly 38% year-over-year. So a big return to growth there out of China. This was something that Tim Cook had kind of telegraphed in the prior quarter earnings call saying that they were expecting huge iPhone sales. Part of this has to do with kind of the lapping of people going out and purchasing tons of new smartphones during the COVID era. It's been six years now. People upgrade around that kind of time. The new iPhones, the 17 and 17 Pro, they're interesting. They have slightly tweaked designs. I think it'll be interesting if we get any kind of color as to where the iPhone Air was in terms of sales. We have been hearing different different uh inklings that perhaps sales sales volume of that particular model have been a little disappointing and that a lot of people are flocking to the Pros and the standard iPhone 17. They don't really break those numbers out anymore, so we'll just have to wait and see. It also will be interesting to see what Tim Cook has to say about the recent tieup with Google where Apple and Google are going to be kind of combining with AI and havi...

These ETFs offer investors two different approaches for investing in the growing robotics boom. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) remain one of the simplest ways to tap into major growth trends without dealing with the volatility that comes from owning a single stock. That balanced approach is particularly appealing in robotics, a sector with a huge runway for long-term growth. Precedence Research values the global technology robotics market at $108.43 billion for 2026, expecting that value to climb 283% by 2035 to $416.26 billion. Today, we'll compare two robotics ETFs, the ROBO Global Robotics & Automation Index ETF (ROBO 1.01%) and the Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ 0.04%), to judge which may be a winner for your portfolio. Analyzing BOTZ holdings The BOTZ ETF offers exposure to both robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) through holding companies that earn a significant portion of their revenue from those fields. Below are its top two holdings by market weight, as of January 25th. I'll follow that with a quick dive into each company so any potential investor will understand what's under the BOTZ hood.

endopack/iStock via Getty Images Shares of Eastman Chemical ( EMN ) fell 2.2% in extended trading Thursday after the specialty materials maker posted quarterly revenue that missed Wall Street estimates, offsetting a modest profit beat. The company reported fourth-quarter revenue of $1.97 billion, down from a year earlier and below analysts’ expectations of $2.02 billion, reflecting lower volumes across several end markets. Adjusted earnings were $0.75 a share, topping the consensus estimate of $0.72. Net income rose to $125.4 million, or $0.90 a share, from $109.7 million, or $0.75 a share, a year earlier. Chief Executive Officer Mark Costa said the company focused on cash generation and cost discipline amid ongoing industry weakness. “Despite a challenging operating environment for the chemical industry, our team delivered a year that demonstrates the strength of our portfolio’s ability to generate cash,” Costa said in a press release. Fourth-quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization declined as lower volumes and price pressure weighed on results, partially offset by cost-reduction actions. Adjusted ebitda was also lower year over year, reflecting continued weakness in consumer discretionary and construction-related markets. Sales fell across all major segments, including advanced materials, fibers and chemical intermediates, with the sharpest declines tied to customer inventory destocking and competitive pressure in global commodity markets. The company said selling prices were lower in chemical intermediates, while volumes weakened in fibers and consumer-exposed businesses. For 2026, Eastman ( EMN ) said it expects earnings improvement driven by deeper cost reductions, higher utilization and contributions from its Kingsport methanolysis facility, though it declined to provide a full-year adjusted earnings forecast due to macroeconomic uncertainty.

The company's content lineup looks quite strong over the coming months. Mr. Market clearly liked what he heard from Comcast (CMCSA +2.92%) Thursday morning. The media company posted its final set of financial results from 2025, and the quarterly bottom-line figure came in higher than expected. Thanks in no small part to the earnings beat, Comcast's shares rose by nearly 3% on the day. Mixed but encouraging results For its fourth quarter of 2025, Comcast's revenue was a bit over $32.31 billion, representing a 1% increase from the same period the previous year. Net income not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) fell to $3.06 billion, or $0.84 per share, from the year-ago profit of $3.69 billion. That meant a mixed quarter for Comcast, as it convincingly beat the consensus analyst non-GAAP (adjusted) net income estimate of $0.73 per share. However, pundits tracking the media conglomerate were modeling a slightly higher revenue figure of $32.35 billion. Comcast splits its business into two main segments: residential connectivity and platforms, and content and experiences. The former's revenue slumped by 2% to $17.65 billion, while the latter's improved by 5% to $12.74 billion. Content and experiences' growth was fueled mainly by a nearly 6% rise in the media sub-segment (to $7.62 billion). Crucially, media contains the company's Peacock streaming service. The company's lineup of theme parks also did well, with a nearly 22% increase in their collective revenue to $2.89 billion.

Earnings Call Insights: PulteGroup, Inc. (PHM) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Ryan Marshall highlighted that "PulteGroup's 2025 operating and financial results further demonstrate the value of our differentiated operating model that emphasizes diversification and balance across markets, buyer groups and spec versus build-to-order production as well as a highly disciplined approach to project underwriting and overall capital allocation." Marshall emphasized closing over 29,500 homes and generating home sale revenues of $16.7 billion for the year, with gross and operating margins of 26.3% and 16.9%, respectively. He noted that the company ended the year with $2 billion in cash after investing $5.2 billion into the business and returning $1.4 billion to shareholders. Marshall announced a strategic shift: "we have made the strategic decision to divest of our off-site manufacturing operations. ICG has proven to be a strong operator... but we have determined that our business and in turn, our shareholders are best served by us focusing on our core homebuilding operations." CFO James Ossowski stated, "We recorded net new orders in the fourth quarter of 6,428 homes, which is an increase of 4% over Q4 of last year." He also reported fourth quarter home sale revenues of $4.5 billion, a 5% decrease from the prior year, and noted a decrease in absorption pace and an increase in incentives as the company worked to clear finished spec inventory.
