mbbirdy/E+ via Getty Images Some of the hedge fund industry’s most prolific stock-pickers incurred big losses in March, as market turbulence driven by the Iran war rattled equities and upended trading strategies. Tiger Global Management’s main hedge fund tumbled 7.3% last month, while Maverick Capital’s dropped 5% and Viking Global Investors’ lost 4.1%, Bloomberg reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter. Coatue Management declined 4.8% in March, according to an earlier report. Last month Goldman Sachs ( GS ) reported a sharp acceleration in hedge fund selling activity, underscoring mounting pressure across U.S. equities as institutional sentiment continues to deteriorate.

At its peak in September of last year, Oracle briefly surged above $300 per share and flirted with becoming the next trillion-dollar valuation tech company.

Mesut Dogan/iStock Editorial via Getty Images In 2025, Oracle ( ORCL ) was one of the hottest stocks in the stock market. At its peak in September of last year, Oracle briefly surged above $300 per share and flirted with becoming the next trillion-dollar valuation tech company. In 2026, that narrative has turned upside down. Investors are scrutinizing the quality of the company's RPO, given the large exposure to OpenAI. Oracle has been one of the biggest losers in the S&P 500 this year, shedding more than 25% of its value and wiping out hundreds of billions in market cap, virtually erasing all of last year's gains. Is this a temporary correction, or is Oracle's wipeout deserved? Data by YCharts I last wrote a "Buy" article on Oracle in January , when the stock was still trading at $190 per share. I'm incredibly optimistic about Oracle's prospects, especially given the company's recent trend of revenue acceleration. Furthermore, I'm reiterating my "Buy" rating here. Oracle's Layoffs Reflect the Growing Commitment to Profitability and Fulfilling the Promise of AI Let's start with the top headline that has made me more optimistic about Oracle. The company isn't just an AI growth story but a stock that is generating true earnings with meaningful catalysts for further earnings expansion. Beyond the infrastructure contracts that Oracle is signing with the likes of OpenAI and Meta, a meaningful path to earnings growth is the company's deep layoffs. Oracle is, arguably, the tech company with the most meaningful AI-driven layoff plan to date. In late March, the company noted that it would be laying off up to 30k employees and spending $2.1 billion on restructuring and severance in FY26. To put this layoff into perspective, this covers about 18% of the company's workforce of ~162k employees. There are a number of reasons why I read this news to be positive. First and foremost, Oracle's layoffs signal that it is fulfilling the promise of AI. I find it very suspicious when ente...

Exclusive: Call for nudity-detection tech on phones as number of under-18s reporting blackmail attempts rises by 34% • ‘I felt ashamed and scared’: how an online friendship became a sextortion nightmare Children are reporting online sextortion attempts in record numbers in the UK, as campaigners urge tech companies to do more to stamp out the crime.

The figure is 34% higher than in 2024. Continue reading...

Withdrawal of additional speciality training roles amid strike deadlock has left some doctors with uncertain future After almost two years on the NHS frontline as a resident doctor, Heather Gunn says she is bracing herself for unemployment. Like many of her colleagues, she was desperate to secure one of the up to 4,500 additional training posts the government agreed to introduce in England over three years to help doctors progress into more specialised fields. The posts were promised in negotiations between the doctors’ union, the British Medical Association (BMA), and the government in a long-running dispute over resident doctors’ pay and job security.

State-funded savings accounts set up for children at birth going unclaimed, with £1.5bn estimated to be sat in bank accounts As Elle Middlemas approached her 18th birthday, she began wondering if she had a child trust fund, a government savings account given to all children born between 1 September 2002 and 2 January 2011, that can be accessed as soon as they officially hit adulthood. She quickly hit a dead end. She wasn’t sure if she was even owed the money and could find no information online. An email to HMRC seeking clarity led her nowhere. Continue reading...
