格隆汇1月29日丨在美元走弱以及投资者对实物资产需求强劲的推动下，铜价攀升至历史新高。盛宝银行分析师表示：“这轮铜价上涨尤为引人注目，凸显出近期基本面趋弱（全球供应增加已推动远期曲线进入正价差结构）与投机性投资者蜂拥而入、争相布局这一最重要的转型金属之间日益扩大的脱节。”铜价上涨发生在更广泛的实物资产配置潮中。随着财政与地缘政治担忧加剧，以及美元持续疲软，投资者正回避主权债券和货币资产。美元指数下跌使以美元计价的大宗商品对海外买家更具吸引力。

Yuriy T/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Investment Rating - "Buy" Amazon.com, Inc. ( AMZN ) doesn't require a long introduction. It's one of the biggest companies in the world, which doesn't lose its growth. AMZN went from $107 billion in sales in 2025 to over $637 billion in sales as of TTM, based on Seeking Alpha, and the operating income went from about $2.2 billion to ~$68.6 billion for the same period. What's noteworthy, the forward estimates don't indicate any major slowdown, at least over the next few years, making such a large company unique for the level of its continued expansion. I think the stock looks quite attractive, although the stock price is close to its all-time highs. The company is set to report its Q4 results on February 5th, which is in about a week from now, and I see quite high odds for another "blowout" quarter, as analysts say. And it's not just gut feeling or a nod to the past few quarters. Recent events make current consensus expectations quite pessimistic and fragile, especially for what's coming beyond Q4. FY2026 guidance should be strong, in my opinion, and it’s going to provide a nice catalyst for bullish momentum. AMZN is a "Buy" ahead of its upcoming earnings report. Let's Assess The Expectations For AMZN's Q4 Amazon reported for its Q3 in late October, and despite seeing consensus estimates that priced a premium over the management's guidance, the firm was able to beat the estimates on both revenue and EPS. And the beats were quite strong - 1.35% and 25.3%, respectively, based on Seeking Alpha . In general, the Q3 EPS beat was the 11th in a row, and despite that 25%+ already looking quite solid, it looks like a common thing for AMZN (the weakest beat since late 2022 was 16.77%). Seeking Alpha The management set a revenue guidance for Q4 at $206-213 billion, implying a YoY growth rate at 11.56%. The late-October consensus was expecting ~$207.95 billion, according to Seeking Alpha , so it was closer to the lower end of the range. ...

Boarding1Now Southwest Airlines’ ( LUV ) aggressive efforts to boost profits through additional ancillary fees, basic economy fares, and cost reductions gained traction in the fourth quarter, leading the company to set an ambitious goal for 2026 that represents 330% profit growth from 2025. “Last year we implemented the most ambitious transformation in company history,” said Southwest Airlines’ CEO Bob Jordan, adding that these efforts position the company for long-term success “and sets the stage for significant earnings growth this year.” Including any negative impact from Winter Storm Fern, Southwest Airlines expects to earn a profit of at least $0.45 per share in the first quarter, incorporating available seat miles ((ASM)—also viewed as capacity—of up 1% to 2%, revenue per available seat mile (RASM) up at least 9.5%, and cost per available seat mile, excluding fuel (CASM-x) up ~3.5%. Estimates peg Q1 EPS at $0.34 per share. For 2026, the carrier expects to earn a profit of $4.00 versus $0.93 a year ago, and above $3.46 estimates. This forecast assumes an increase in capacity of 2% to 3%. For the fourth quarter, Southwest ( LUV ) achieved record quarterly operating revenue of $7.4B (up 7.4% year over year) and adjusted earnings of $0.58 per share, which missed analysts’ expectations on revenue but beat EPS by a penny. Regarding operations, Southwest ( LUV ) had fewer revenue passengers carried but increased revenue per passenger by 3.2%, average passenger fare by 7.9%, and passenger revenue per yield (RPM) by 4.3%. Costs increased marginally with CASM up 0.2% and CASM-x up just 0.3% year-over-year.

The investors at South Park Commons realize there are a lot of places that promising founders can go for help when they’re starting companies. There’s the famed Y Combinator, which enrolls about 500 startups per year. There’s Andreessen Horowitz’s Speedrun , which promises to supercharge startup growth. There are even live-in programs like HF0, which offers laundry and meal services so founders can focus on a productive 12-week sprint. South Park Commons, a members-only startup community and investment firm, has a different pitch. In an era of fast and furious artificial intelligence funding rounds, it wants its founders to move more slowly. In fact, it doesn’t really mind if the techies who join never come up with a business plan at all. This year, the firm is aiming to raise $500 million, its largest-ever fund, according to securities filings. The group bills itself as an “anti-accelerator” — a community of technologists that tinker together, usually for at least six months, in the general direction of starting a business. It’s a different approach than the typical hard-charging startup climate, and about 20% of the participants don’t actually wind up starting a company. While some wind up raising about $1 million from the firm, others go into research, join an existing company or run for public office instead . Adam Judelson, former head of product for Palantir Technologies Inc.’s Gotham platform and a South Park Commons member, described joining the group as an almost existential exercise. “Either you’re already at 30 grand in revenue and just need accountability and access to resources, in which case, you’re going to Y Combinator,” he said, “or you’re a lot earlier in your journey.” For Judelson, “I needed to feel like there were important questions for me in this market, and most of them were internal questions for myself.” Ten years ago, South Park Commons was launched as a members-only community by Ruchi Sanghvi , an early engineer at Meta Platforms Inc.

Nearly three-quarters of Americans expect China to overtake the US in power and global influence at some point – if it has not done so already, according to a survey by a US foreign policy institute. Releasing the results of a national poll earlier this month, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace said 47 per cent of the 1,500 adults surveyed agreed that China had already surpassed the United States or would do so within the next five years. A further 27 per cent said the shift would take longer, while only 26 per cent said China would never catch up. Advertisement The survey was carried out between November 24 and December 1. China’s biggest advantage, according to the respondents, was technological Advertisement Asked where China outperformed the US, 63 per cent pointed to technology – a view shared by 74 per cent of Democrats, 62 per cent of independents and 52 per cent of Republicans.

Morgan Stanley expects China’s humanoid robot sales to grow 133 per cent to 28,000 units this year, while noting that falling production costs will gradually make owning robots more accessible. The US investment bank revised its forecast from the 14,000 units previously on the back of the rapid growth of the industry in the world’s second largest economy. The cost of materials to produce robots in China, home to most of the industry’s supply chain, was set to drop 16 per cent this year, the bank said. The consulting firm Bain & Co, meanwhile, expects parts prices to decrease by roughly 70 per cent globally by 2035. Advertisement This would lead to lower prices for humanoid robots – to around US$21,000 by 2050 from US$50,000 in 2024 – in middle and low-income countries, including China, according to Morgan Stanley. In rich nations like the US, the average price would decrease to US$75,000 from US$200,000 in the same period, it added. The US investment bank predicted humanoid installations would eventually become more pervasive. By 2036, some 25.4 million human-shaped machines would be in use, accounting for 2 per cent of the market that includes robotic arms and wheeled robots. That proportion would reach 13 per cent by 2040 and 42 per cent by 2044. 01:01 Dancing robots take the stage at China’s Spring Festival Gala performance Dancing robots take the stage at China’s Spring Festival Gala performance By 2050, around 1 billion humanoid robots would be adopted, with more than half in upper middle-income countries, including China, according to Morgan Stanley. China already leads the world in terms of adoption, accounting for more than 80 per cent of humanoid robot installations in 2025, according to market intelligence provider Counterpoint Research.

Prostock-Studio/iStock via Getty Images Since my November article , "Pfizer: Is This Pharma Giant Finally A Bargain", Pfizer stock ( PFE ) has risen 5.6%, outperforming the 'barometer' for the biotech investors, the iShares Biotechnology ETF ( IBB ) [5.2% return], as well as the S&P 500 ( SPY ) [5%]. And now its shares are again above the +1σ band formed from the VWAP, $25.56. To me, this is the first strong signal that Wall Street's bullish sentiment on Pfizer is returning. Source: TradingView Meanwhile, retail investors are somewhat skeptical about its long-term outlook, despite the latest milestones in the development of two of Pfizer’s anti-cancer drugs, Padcev and Braftovi. Well, I will continue with 3 reasons why I am planning to buy Pfizer shares. Braftovi and Padcev are two "gems" in Pfizer's oncology portfolio Let me briefly remind you that Braftovi [encorafenib] is a kinase inhibitor . It is approved by the FDA and EMA for the treatment of metastatic NSCLC [non-small cell lung cancer], unresectable/metastatic melanoma , and metastatic colorectal cancer [mCRC] with BRAF mutations. Source: Table Was Made By Author However, for me, and most likely for you, only mentioning Braftovi's label isn't enough. In my view, it is much more important to find out the BRAF V600E/BRAF V600K mutation rate in each cancer type. So, the BRAF V600E occurs in 8-12% of patients with mCRC, if I take into account information from the European Medical Journal's article. Source: Table Was Made By Author Moreover, according to WHO's Cancer Tomorrow , the number of colon cancer cases will rise by 90% from 1.14 million in 2022 to 2.17 million [1.15 million men and 1.02 million women] in 2050. That is, I make an interim conclusion that the TAM for Braftovi is not only large but also rapidly growing. Source: The Global Cancer Observatory In Q3, sales of Braftovi+Mektovi, Pfizer didn't release separate numbers only for Braftovi, reached $202 million , up 11% quarter-over-quarter and beatin...

Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images I previously covered C3.ai ( AI ) in October 2025, discussing how the sudden sales restructuring and the management's departure had led to the mixed FQ1'26 performance and the underwhelming FQ2'26 guidance. Pending the eventual conversion of its growing Initial Production Deployments [IPD] to longer-term licensing commitments and further recovery in its performance metrics, I had believed that the stock might be a value trap, resulting in my reiterated Hold rating then. In this article, I shall discuss why I am reiterating my Hold rating for the C3.ai stock here, attributed to the AI SaaS company's lack of profitable/growth prospects despite the ongoing AI boom, as observed in the lackluster Rule of -52.1% performance. This is on top of the lack of bullish support, the deteriorating balance sheet with negative free cash flows, the elevated SBC expenses bringing forth shareholder equity dilution, and the potential volatility from the elevated short interest ratio. C3.ai's Value Trap Risks Remain C3.ai 1Y Stock Price ( TradingView ) Since my last Hold rating, C3.ai has lost another -31% of its value compared to the wider market's sideways trading at single-digit gains over the same time period, with a similar correction also observed in its AI SaaS peers in varying degrees. Part of the pessimism may be warranted after all, with the market seemingly pricing in growth headwinds for software companies "if artificial intelligence improves productivity but results in the elimination of jobs ." While C3.ai does not operate a per seat licensing business model and operates on a consumption-based pricing model , I am of the opinion that the stock's ongoing meltdown has been somewhat warranted, since the AI SaaS company has reported an underwhelming H1'26 subscription revenue performance at $130.54M (-15.5% YoY) while offering another pessimistic FQ3'26 overall revenue guidance at $76M at the midpoint ( -23% YoY ). This is despite th...

Just_Super/iStock via Getty Images AI has run wild: stocks are soaring, multi-billion dollar investments are being made, infrastructure CapEx has never ever been higher, and private funding rounds are at levels the early internet days would blush at. But with a few years of investment and advancements in AI, why do we not see the revenue generation many have expected by now at end markets (not at the hardware level)? When will the trillions of dollars start showing an ROI? Eventually, these investments will come home to roost, but whether that means success or failure remains unanswered. As of right now, it's not looking good. AI end markets are not pushing others out of the way, saying, "Take my money!" Thus, I'll separate the technology from the financials in this article to understand how good technology can be a poor revenue center. While this article is about how AI is failing to turn into a viable business and actual profits, it's not because I'm against AI or the profiting I'm making from the stocks involved. In fact, I've navigated the AI industry, calling out its beneficiaries like Nvidia ( NVDA ), Arista Networks ( ANET ), Micron ( MU ), and Meta Platforms ( META ) before ChatGPT even came onto the scene. So when I say the AI economics have cooked themselves, I'm not hoping for it, nor am I oblivious to the forward potential, nor forgetting my fantastic calls on it. How It's Been Going The AI retail and enterprise industry has not broken the glass revenue ceiling to this point. Will it? Maybe, but it remains to be seen. The trajectory has been, generally speaking, a solution in search of a problem. Enterprise Level You wouldn't think so with headlines of enterprises "adopting" AI tools at a fast clip, according to many reports and research outlets. But the qualification of "using AI" is loose and headline clickbait. For example, a research firm wrote , "[a] bank deployed a coding assistant that boosted the productivity of tens of thousands of engineers by ...

All financial results are unaudited. “We achieved strong earnings in the fourth quarter of 2025, capping off a record-breaking year,” said Julie Glance, CFO. “This performance reflected portfolio growth across both loans and deposits during the fourth quarter while successfully expanding our net interest margin despite headwinds from the Fed’s recent rate reductions during the latter part of the year. Earlier investments in our team and technology platform are clearly delivering results, evidenced by meaningful year-over-year improvement in our efficiency ratio, elevated client engagement levels, and enhanced overall performance. Our strong positioning heading into the new year, combined with an evolving interest rate landscape, gives us confidence in our path toward continued earnings expansion and superior shareholder value creation.” Results for the fourth quarter of 2025 included a $664,000 provision for credit losses, reflecting continued prudent credit risk management. This compared to a $396,000 provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2025, and a $374,000 provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2024. Core pre-tax earnings, excluding taxes and loan loss provisions, were $3.06 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $202,000, or 7.1%, compared to $2.86 million in the preceding quarter, and up $1.13 million, or 58.9%, from $1.93 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Fourth quarter net income attributable to common shareholders was $5.48 million, or $1.90 per diluted share, compared to $4.99 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, for the same quarter in 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, net income increased by 17% to $21.5 million from $18.4 million in 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, earnings per diluted share rose to $7.46 from $6.34, an increase of 18% from 2024. Key Highlights Non-interest income was $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, which was $140 thousand lower than the third quarter of 2025 and $81 thousand over the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding net losses on the sale of securities in each period of $413 thousand, $0, and $122 thousand, wealth revenue constituted 92% of non-interest income in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 94% for the third quarter of 2025 and to 89% for the fourth quarter of 2024. Loans increased 13% to $814 million at year end compared to $721 million at September 30, 2025, and were up 21% compared to $670 million at December 31, 2024. Total deposits increased by 7% from $1.16 billion at September 30, 2025, to $1.24 billion at December 31, 2025, and were 43% higher in comparison to $866 million at December 31, 2024. Truxton continues to fund much of its growth from a single banking location led by its commitment to provide what it believes is superior deposit operations service and technology. Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 2.97%, an increase of 15 basis points from the 2.82% experienced in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and an increase of 18 basis points from the 2.79% recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

is an editor covering deals and gaming hardware. He joined in 2018, and after a two-year stint at Polygon, he rejoined The Verge in May 2025. The Corsair Galleon 100 SD didn’t just come out of the ether. The new full-size mechanical keyboard with a Stream Deck fused to its side is the result of a lot of things coming together over the years. Corsair’s gaming business is more refined than ever, and Stream Deck’s wide ecosystem of plug-ins makes the dedicated hardware useful to just about anyone, even if they have little interest in streaming. The fusion makes sense. The possibilities with a Stream Deck were already vast, and the Galleon makes it easier to feel like a power user. I can turn my Philips Hue lights on and off throughout my apartment with one of its dials, and I can pause, skip, and fave tracks in YouTube Music with its buttons. I can launch The Verge, declutter a mess of windows on my screen into a tidy grid, and so much more with a single button press — all without taking my hands off the keyboard. Anyway, here’s a quick history lesson on how we got here: The Galleon is the result of acquisitions and another company’s misfortune. After Corsair bought Elgato in 2018, it acquired a majority stake in iDisplay, the company that already produced tiny screens for the Stream Deck. And it’s possible none of this would have happened if iDisplay hadn’t been asked years earlier to supply OLED screens for each key of Art Lebedev’s groundbreaking, yet ultimately flawed, Optimus Maximus keyboard, which sold for $1,490 at launch in 2008. So here we are. The Galleon is reasonably priced at $350. Yes, you can pay about $60 for a Deck Mini and then buy a very good keyboard; perhaps both will cost you less than $350. But it’s fun to use a product that’s both a good, polished keyboard and a great bundle of customizable buttons and dials. The Stream Deck integration is the big draw with the Galleon. It has 12 buttons, a non-touch screen, and two rotary dials, all of which c...

人人都需要睡眠，嬰兒一天要睡十多小時，小朋友要十小時，一直長大，要睡的時間就越短。年輕人睡八小時就足夠，成年人睡得好，有六小時已經不錯。公公婆婆熟睡的話，有五個小時就夠了。不過很多城市人都覺得睡得不好，甚至長期失眠。 Susanne稱：「我自己感覺身體機能在不斷地退步，好像是等死這樣。」 要做個好夢，是否真的很難呢？《新聞掏寶》和大家重溫2004年專題。 十年前，Susanne經營兩間時裝店，將自己的興趣變成事業。不過五年前開始慣性失眠，對所有事物都失去興趣，最嚴重時經過商場高處，會出現幻覺。 Susanne說：「那時狀態不好，不敢像現在這樣站在邊上，你是很怕的，只可以走裡邊，擔心自己不知會否跳下去。」 很多朋友都認為，她睡不好是心理作用，Susanne向醫生解釋，也沒有辦法將病情弄清楚。 Susanne表示：「那醫生也不明白，『我已給你最好的降血壓藥，你怎會不成？你可能正值更年期，有沒有看好姨的廣告？』他還這樣說，給他氣死。」 根據醫學界的統計，本港醫生在2001年共開出四千五百萬粒安眠藥，在亞洲地區來說數字頗高。 Susanne的失眠情況，幾年來都沒有改善，吃醫生開的安眠藥同鎮靜劑會有副作用，有時難得睡得著，又會發噩夢。 Susanne說：「你今晚正在發噩夢，追著那個人，用刀斬他，第二晚會繼續下去，追到一個階段好像拍電影那樣，繼續補回上次那樣拍下去，所以你很怕。」 Susanne試過個多星期，天天都睡不到一小時。Susanne有時看著街外的景色等天明，箇中痛苦令她曾經想過一死了之，後來她將窗花上了鎖，乾脆連鑰匙都掉了。 Susanne指出：「驚自己太辛苦時，就會開了窗跳下去，一次過上了鎖，鑰匙扔掉不用多想。」 由失眠到出現幻覺，Susanne試過許多藥物都沒法治療，最後向臨床心理學家求助。 臨床心理學家湯崇琪表示：「她是頗典型的情緒問題，又帶一些失眠問題，我們經常碰到這一類病人。我所見的病人，他們有幾年，甚至十幾年前已開始睡不好是很常見。她對睡覺這回事認識不多，原來睡覺也需要認識的。」 她說很多人有錯誤觀念，趁放假會多睡一點，但她說反而不是太好。 點擊觀看節目重溫

Founded and built by former Palantir Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs), Northslope believes the era of one-size-fits-all software is over. The leading enterprises of the next century need AI that amplifies their differentiation rather than conforming them to the status quo. Today, Northslope’s products help doctors catch cancer earlier, aerospace manufacturers build and fly better rockets, and energy producers supply more renewable megawatts onto the global grid. Northslope’s connected AI application suites provide each customer with the precision and control of custom software without sacrificing the speed, cost structure, or maintainability of enterprise SaaS. "World-changing organizations don't run on off-the-shelf software, they cannot afford to operate like everyone else," said Founder and CEO Bill Ward, a former Palantir Forward Deployed Engineer. "Northslope brings mission-specific software within reach for organizations ready to stop compromising. Our customers get to focus on what only they can do. We handle the rest." The Series A was co-led by Friends & Family Capital, founded by former Palantir CFO Colin Anderson, and Goldcrest Capital, founded by Adam Ross, Palantir’s first independent board member. Addi...

Ainekko Brings together Raspberry Pi DNA, MRAM-powered AI memory, and open source hardware to redefine the future of edge silicon SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ainekko , a startup pioneering open, software-defined AI infrastructure, today announced it is merging with Veevx , a fabless semiconductor company known for its cutting-edge embedded AI solutions and MRAM-based memory innovations. Douglas Smith, co-founder of Veevx and a foundational engineer who for many years managed the intellectual property at Broadcom, will join Ainekko as an executive team member to help lead the next chapter of developer-driven, community-powered silicon. The combined company will operate under the Ainekko name and continue its mission to democratize silicon by delivering flexible, software-defined hardware platforms that empower developers, startups, and researchers to co-design and build the next generation of chips. The merger brings together two visionary teams: Ainekko’s open-source platform for AI-native silicon and Veevx’s deeply embedded AI expertise, including their proprietary iRAM memory technology and low-power AI accelerator, co-packaged with microcontrollers. The merger follows Ainekko’s recent acquisition of Esperanto Technologies’ intellectual property, including a manycore RISC-V chip architecture and toolchain. Together with Veevx, Ainekko is creating a full-stack, open silicon platform optimized for rapid AI innovation at the edge. “We’re doing for AI hardware what Linux did for operating systems and Kubernetes did for cloud infrastructure,” said Tanya Dadasheva, Co-founder and CEO of Ainekko. “With the addition of Veevx’s architecture team, MRAM-based memory IP, and Douglas’s leadership, we’re combining advanced compute and storage with radical openness. This is not another chip company but an open foundation for the next generation of intelligent devices.” With AI workloads increasingly bottlenecked by memory bandwidth and power constraints, Vee...

Lea la nota en español Having lost more of its value than any other major currency in the world this century, the Argentine peso has long been seen as far too unstable to lure carry-trade investors. But in a sign of just how much President Javier Milei has regained the market’s confidence in the wake of his party’s midterm-election victory, evidence is mounting that those investors are starting to pile into the peso. After a stomach-churning stretch last year, Argentina’s currency has moved in a narrower range since the end of November, tempting foreign-exchange investors looking to harvest the peso’s rich yields. One sign that the carry trade — where investors borrow in dollars to buy the local currency — is in play can be seen in money market fund balances held in pesos, which have grown by 7% so far in January, according to local consulting firm 1816 Economía & Estrategia . While Argentina remains a high-risk play by any definition, obstacles that would have made the strategy unthinkable a few months ago no longer loom as large. These include a political picture that’s become more settled since Milei’s comeback victory in October gave the avowed libertarian a strong mandate to keep pursuing free-market policies that won a financial lifeline from Donald Trump . Meanwhile, inflation expectations are subsiding, while strong inflows into the peso — from investors, farm export flows and companies repatriating proceeds from a recent dollar bond sale — have kept the Argentine currency aloft even as the central bank boosted reserves by a net $1 billion in January. The central bank’s cash pile now stands at its highest level in more than four years, helping push down the country’s sovereign risk ahead of a closely-watched bond sale. “This has happened only a few times over the past 10 years: a stretch of FX calm ahead — potentially four months — combined with historically very high real interest rates. It’s an ideal mix for putting on the carry trade,” said Belisario Álva...

The biotech could be on the verge of expanding its lineup and entering a new era of growth. Despite a few setbacks, Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX +0.64%) performed pretty well last year, although it lagged the S&P 500. However, things could be very different in 2026. Thanks to several catalysts and potential regulatory progress, the biotech could see its shares jump significantly this year. Here's why 2026 could be the year of Vertex Pharmaceuticals. Vertex Pharmaceuticals' late-stage pipeline Vertex Pharmaceuticals' strategy is to develop medicines in areas with high unmet needs. The company has dominated the market for cystic fibrosis (CF) -- a rare disease that affects internal organs -- for over a decade. But the biotech has sought to diversify its product lineup, and it has been somewhat successful in recent years. Vertex Pharmaceuticals could make another giant leap toward that goal this year. The company's late-stage pipeline features zimislecel, inaxaplin, and povetacicept. Zimislecel is an investigational medicine for type 1 diabetes. In clinical trials, it has shown the ability to restore patients' insulin-producing capacity -- or at least, it has significantly decreased insulin dependence. Vertex could submit applications for approval for this medicine this year. Inaxaplin, an investigational therapy for APOL-1-mediated kidney disease, is currently in a phase 2/3 clinical trial. The company plans to release an interim analysis of this study this year and to proceed with a request for accelerated approval if it is positive. Expand NASDAQ : VRTX Vertex Pharmaceuticals Today's Change ( 0.64 %) $ 3.04 Current Price $ 480.95 Key Data Points Market Cap $121B Day's Range $ 477.87 - $ 481.14 52wk Range $ 362.50 - $ 519.68 Volume 450 Avg Vol 1.4M Gross Margin 86.29 % The biotech has the same plan for povetacicept, a potential drug for IgA nephropathy (also a kidney disease). If the interim analysis of its ongoing late-stage study is strong, Vertex will seek acceler...

Rubio Announces Start Of US-Denmark-Greenland Talks Amid Arctic Security Push Authored by Kimberley Hayek via The Epoch Times, Technical discussions between the United States, Denmark, and Greenland on improving Arctic security have begun, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday. The talks originate from a working group created earlier this month during a Washington meeting including Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, and the foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland. “It begins today and it will be a regular process,” Rubio told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “We’re going to try to do it in a way that isn’t like a media circus every time these conversations happen, because we think that creates more flexibility on both sides to arrive at a positive outcome.” “We’ve got a little bit of work to do, but I think we’re going to wind up in a good place, and I think you’ll hear the same from our colleagues in Europe very shortly,” Rubio said . The initiative comes after President Donald Trump has said that the United States must secure Greenland to increase national security against Russia and China. European allies have rebuked Trump’s approach. Trump recently threatened tariffs on Denmark and other European nations opposing his Greenland overtures before brokering a preliminary framework with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last week, Trump said no military force would be used for acquiring the island, stating, “I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force.” Trump has portrayed the deal as providing total access to Greenland without payment or time limits, underscoring the Golden Dome missile defense system. “There’s no end, there’s no time limit,” he said, adding, “We’re not doing a 99-year or a 10-year [deal] or anything else.” The president assigned Rubio, Vance, and special envoy Steve Witkoff to work on the negotiations. NATO has highlighted the framework’s goal of prevent...

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan , a former tech entrepreneur supported by influential Silicon Valley leaders, entered the race for California governor, seeking to channel voter frustration over homelessness and the country’s highest housing costs into a centrist challenge to the state’s liberal establishment. Mahan’s entry into a primary election already crowded with fellow Democrats sets up a test of whether his tough-on-crime approach and business-friendly message will break through in a state where progressive activists and labor unions often hold sway. His candidacy also signals growing frustration with the state’s Democratic leadership among California’s wealthiest residents. A 43-year-old Harvard graduate who was a dorm buddy of Mark Zuckerberg , Mahan has built his political brand around aggressively confronting homelessness and bolstering public safety. He has championed policies that allow police to arrest people living on the streets who repeatedly refuse offers of shelter, and supported tougher penalties for drug and theft crimes — positions that have put him at odds with much of his party’s progressive base. “People are hungry for solutions,” Mahan said in an interview, arguing that his moderate approach is needed to counter a drift to political extremes on both the left and right. “The way that we rebuild faith in government and keep people from turning to a strong man is to show them that government can work and make their lives better.” Mahan began his short political career in 2020 by winning a seat on San Jose’s city council. He captured the mayor’s office in Silicon Valley’s largest city two years later, defeating a union-backed candidate. His rise has coincided with increasing frustration in California over the lack of progress in clearing homeless encampments and anger over a pandemic-era surge of car burglaries and high-profile retail theft. As mayor, Mahan also emerged as a rare California Democrat willing to spar with Governor Gavin Newsom , accusin...

00:00 Elon Musk we'll probably unveil Optimus uh three in a few months. 00:04 Elon Musk Um and um I think it's it's going to be quite uh 00:10 Elon Musk surprising to people. It's it's a an incredibly capable robot. 00:15 Elon Musk Um, and as I mentioned, we're replacing the SX line in Fremont with a million unit per million unit per year line of Optimus. 00:26 Elon Musk Um now because it is a it's a completely new supply chain, 00:32 Elon Musk I it's just it's a there's really nothing from from the existing supply chain that exists in in in Optimus. everything is designed from physics first principles. 00:48 Elon Musk So that means um the the normal S curve of manufacturing ramp will be longer for Optimus than it is for uh products that have uh at least some portion of an existing supply chain. 01:03 Elon Musk Like when everything is new, um the the production rate will be proportionate to the least lucky, least confident part of the entire supply chain. 01:17 Elon Musk And if there's 10,000 things that need to go right, it's, you know, it only takes one to to be slowed to to lag that. 01:25 Elon Musk But um so it will be sort of a stretched out S curve. uh but I'm I'm confident that we'll get to a million units a year of uh in Fremont uh of Optimus 3. 01:42 Elon Musk Um, 01:47 Elon Musk and and this this Optimus 3 really will be a a general purpose robot that can um learn by observing human human behavior. So you can like demonstrate a task or literally verb verbally describe a task or show it a task. 02:03 Elon Musk Um, even show it a video and it will be able to do that task. So it's a it's going to be a very capable robot. 02:11 Elon Musk Um I I think long-term Optimus will have a very significant impact on the US GDP. Like it will actually move the needle on US GDP significantly. 02:30 Elon Musk So, um, in conclusion, um uh you know, there's still obviously many who doubt our ambitions for creating amazing abundance, but we're we're confident uh it can be done...

Two-time defending champion Sinner may not have looked completely convincing on his way to the last four but he is still the heavy favourite to beat Djokovic. The 24-year-old was grateful when the Australian Open's heat rule saved him against American opponent Eliot Spizzirri in a third-round match that he looked destined to quit because of cramping. But he has since breezed past compatriot Luciano Darderi and American eighth seed Ben Shelton, despite looking unsteady on his feet in parts of both matches. "Sinner's movement now is absolutely phenomenal," former British number one Tim Henman said on TNT Sports. "When you think he should be on the defensive, he's able to use that core strength and come back on the offensive." The physical state of 38-year-old Djokovic is where the bigger questions lie. The 24-time Grand Slam champion, who will move clear of Margaret Court's singles record if he wins in Melbourne, has barely played since Saturday after a fourth-round walkover and a quarter-final cut short by injury to Lorenzo Musetti. While that might leave him fresher to push Sinner, the lack of action could leave him undercooked. Djokovic lacked sharpness in his shots and movement against fifth seed Musetti, who led by two sets to love before quitting. There are also concerns about the gruesome foot blisters that hampered Djokovic. "Djokovic wasn't tracking down a few balls that Musetti was hitting into the corners and didn't look like he was attempting to run for them," former British number one Annabel Croft said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Australian Open daily podcast. "That made sense after we saw the condition of his feet. "That's a big job for the physio to get those feet back together to take on Sinner, who can pummel balls into the corners and make opponents run."
