南非可再生能源投资领域的两大平台Revego Africa Energy Fund与H1 Holdings正在探讨合并事宜。若交易达成,将缔造一家总资产超过133亿兰特、管理着36个运营中可再生能源项目的行业巨头,按当前汇率计算价值约8.07亿美元。 Revego是约翰内斯堡证券交易所上市的可再生能源收益型基金,其投资组合涵盖南非境内多个运营中的风电与太阳能项目,资产均与南非国家电力公司Eskom签订了长期购电协议。该基金于2026年1月获得英国国际投资公司和Alexforbes各5亿兰特的注资,总资产规模已扩大至约30亿兰特。H1 Holdings则是一家拥有20年行业经验的私营可再生能源投资者,业务涵盖发电、能源交易及电池储能,背后有Norfund和英国CDC集团支持,目标新增容量达1067兆瓦。 据悉,拟议中的合并将整合36个可再生能源项目,旨在打造南非最大的专注于可再生能源的基金之一。通过此次联手,双方希望扩大规模,锁定长期现金流,并吸引更多寻求绿色能源基础设施投资的机构资本。当前南非可再生能源市场正经历深刻变化:该国已连续超过365天未实施限电,电力危机显著缓解;同时,预计2026年将有34个、共计5252兆瓦的新可再生能源项目完成融资关闭。 尽管市场格局因电力供应改善而面临定价压力,但通过合并组建更大体量的投资平台,有助于在竞争加剧的市场中巩固优势。Revego目前由一家多数股权为黑人持有的基金管理公司运营,此次战略整合也旨在进一步释放南非可再生能源二级市场的流动性。 责任编辑:张俊 SF065

Jelena Lalic/iStock via Getty Images It has been several months since my previous coverage on Milestone Pharmaceuticals Inc. ( MIST ), where I reiterated my Strong Buy rating on the company after they received FDA approval for their flagship product Cardamyst . This drug was the first and remains the only rapid-acting self-administered prescription therapy for acute PSVT (paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia) episodes in adults. The microcap stock has experienced several marked price movements in this time, with very high volatility. The trend has been sideways but certainly with some downward pressure. The stock is down 37% since my last bullish call. Seeking Alpha While news of expanded insurer coverage for Cardamyst helped buoy the stock, Q1 results seemed to disappoint the investment community, with the stock now down 26% since they reported on May 13. I argue that the revenue expectations were massively overblown, given the slow rollout, and that subsequent quarters will represent a much fairer reflection of the company’s product launch and patient demand. Looking further ahead, the company has plans for international expansion and is about to embark on a Phase 3 clinical trial to assess Cardamyst on patients with AFib-RVR. The label extension, if approved, would expand the TAM for the product enormously. In this article, I’ll offer an updated assessment of the company’s prospects and risk/reward profile for investors. Company Background Milestone Pharmaceuticals was founded in 2003 and is based, jointly, in Montreal and Charlotte, with its 30+ employees split between both locations. As a reminder, the company has one product on the market, a nasal spray to treat episodes of PSVT. The condition PSVT is a type of arrhythmia, which causes “a fast heart rate and other symptoms, like chest discomfort, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and dizziness.” There are many potential triggers of PSVT episodes, including stress, fatigue, alcohol, smoking, exercise,...

Chile’s Finance Ministry ditched its goal of balancing the so-called structural budget by 2030 on Tuesday, as the administration struggles to replenish fiscal coffers amid an economic downturn. The government is now targeting a structural deficit — which takes into account cyclical effects such as copper prices and economic fluctuations — of 1.5% of gross domestic product at the end of its term in four years, according to its fiscal policy decree. Asked directly during a press conference if the administration was admiting that it wouldn’t achieve its target of a balanced budget, Finance Minister Jorge Quiroz replied, “obviously, that’s what the numbers say.” The announcement is the latest blow to the reputation of President José Antonio Kast ’s administration, which had come to power on pledges to stop the state from spending beyond its means. The government has already raised its forecast for the fiscal deficit this year and asked Congress for permission to sell an additional $6.2 billion in bonds, effectively lifting the debt ceiling by 36%. “Our fiscal objective is clear: to regulate the sustainability of public finances, stabilize the debt trajectory and strengthen the state’s financial position,” Quiroz said. The budget target takes into account measures to rationalize and reorganize public spending — “mainly efficiency gains and also general austerity,” he said. That is on top of the $2 billion the government has already announced in spending cuts. However, Quiroz didn’t announce any new expenditure reductions during his presentation. Top Lawmaker Says Chile’s Debt Hike to Pass at Cost to Prestige Chile Senate Takes Up Kast’s Mega Economic Bill as Warnings Grow Chile Government Seeks $6.2 Billion in Additional Debt Sales The budget office estimates published in May showed gross debt reaching 43.1% of GDP in 2026, 45.4% in 2028 and 46.5% in 2030. Those levels are over the threshold of 45% that the government has qualified as prudent, and which some people say c...

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Apple ( AAPL ) revealed that it plans to extend its Private Cloud Compute beyond Apple's data centers for the first time through a new collaboration with Google ( GOOG )( GOOGL ) and Nvidia ( NVDA ). This allows Apple Intelligence workloads to run on Google Cloud, powered by a combination of Nvidia GPUs, Intel ( INTC ) CPUs with TDX and Google's Titan chips. The announcement follows Apple's collaboration with Google earlier this year to leverage its Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models, which in turn power Apple Intelligence features. Apple unveiled some of those new features during its Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday. Apple contends this new PCC collaboration will maintain the same security standards and requirements that have become a cornerstone of its products. "Originally built exclusively on Apple silicon with our world-class software security technologies, PCC set a new bar for AI privacy in the cloud, and continues to power the most demanding Apple Intelligence features," Apple said in a blog post . "Since then, the wider industry has been working to provide a set of confidential inference primitives that could theoretically be combined to reach the security level of PCC." "However, until today, those primitives have never been integrated into a comprehensive, end-to-end confidential inference pipeline capable of operating at global scale," Apple added. "That's what we've done with PCC on Google Cloud, which incorporates PCC's exceptional security and privacy properties at every stage, including the industry's most comprehensive transparency guarantees that allow external security researchers to verify our privacy commitments." Analysts say deal counts as win for all parties "This partnership reflects the first time Apple has been using Nvidia's chips for many years," said Julian Lin , Investing Group Leader for Best Of Breed Growth Stocks. "This also indicates a clear dif...

Dragon Claws/iStock via Getty Images Energy prices, elevated from the Iran war, will continue to exert upward pressure on the Consumer Price Index in May, while the core CPI number is expected to demonstrate a more measured increase. Economists will plug the fresh CPI data into their models to estimate the May PCE and core PCE measures. Core PCE is the Federal Reserve's preferred measure for gauging underlying inflation. That may shift somewhat as new Fed chairman, Kevin Warsh, has said he prefers the Dallas trimmed mean measure. The CPI is expected to increase 0.5% M/M in May, slowing slightly from the 0.6% increase in April, according to the consensus of economists. The year-over-year comparison is expected to accelerate to 4.2% from 3.8% in the prior month. The Cleveland Fed Inflation Nowcasting model puts May CPI at 0.46% M/M and 4.2% Y/Y, in line with the consensus. Excluding food and energy, which can swing widely from month to month, core CPI is expected to climb 0.3% M/M, a tick slower than the 0.4% advance in April. Y/Y, core CPI is projected to rise 2.9%, a touch hotter than the 2.8% increase in April. The Cleveland Fed model sees core CPI at 0.23% M/M and 2.82% Y/Y, slightly cooler than the consensus estimates. "We are going to see a significant bump in the CPI headline that is expected to bring us up to about 4.2% Y/Y," Dan North, senior economist at Allianz Trade North America, told Seeking Alpha in an interview. "That is, in my mind, a pretty big jump over the past few months." By contrast, February's headline CPI Y/Y increase was 2.4%. "That's a pretty stiff dose of price increases for the consumer to take," he added. "So it's significant but wouldn't be unexpected, but consumers will hate it anyway, of course." For core CPI, North expects the increase to tick up to 2.9%, in line with the consensus, from 2.8% in April and 2.4% in February. Citi economist Veronica Clark estimates the May core CPI increase at 0.22%, slowing from 0.38% in April. Shelter ...

sitox FuelCell Energy ( FCEL ) up 14.7% in Tuesday's trading, a day after reporting a Q2 loss of $1.45/share on revenue of $35.6M , as sales surged 267% Q/Q, driven primarily by the AI and data center boom. The results prompted Canaccord analyst George Gianarikas to upgrade shares to Buy from Hold with a $30 price target, raised from $12, reflecting increased confidence that FuelCell Energy ( FCEL ) will announce a significant data center-related contract before the end of its current fiscal year, with the possibility of replicating, on a smaller scale, the success achieved by Bloom Energy in supplying power solutions to the data center market. "We have long felt that leveraging the company's reliable clean power technology for data center customers would represent a meaningful strategic and financial inflection point for FuelCell, noting last quarter that we were tempted to upgrade the stock ahead of a potential announcement," Gianarikas writes. "The exact timing of when this transformative data center deal is coming remains uncertain, with management only saying it expects something to materialize before the end of the fiscal year. However, we now feel there are enough data points to suggest that a landmark announcement is within reach, along with plenty more behind that," the analyst says.
