(RTTNews) - Coca-Cola (KO) said it is discontinuing Minute Maid frozen juice concentrates, marking its exit from the frozen can category as part of a broader portfolio realignment. The company said the decision reflects changing consumer preferences and a focus on products that better match current demand. The frozen lineup, which includes flavors such as orange, lemonade, pink lemonade, raspberry lemonade and limeade, will be phased out in the coming months, with products remaining on shelves until existing inventory is depleted. Coca-Cola noted that the move allows it to concentrate resources on faster-growing segments of its juice business. Frozen juice was once positioned as a convenient way to enjoy juice year-round, but advances in refrigeration and pasteurization have steadily shifted consumer interest toward fresh and ready-to-drink options. While the frozen category continues to contract, Coca-Cola said its broader juice portfolio is gaining market share, supported in part by growing demand for zero-sugar offerings. KO currently trades at $78.92 or 0.52% higher on the NYSE. The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.

The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games are officially under way after a vibrant opening ceremony split across four locations. Milan's iconic San Siro stadium was the primary venue, with elements of the ceremony also taking place in Cortina, Livigno and Predazzo. Despite concerns over the logistics of a multi-location ceremony, it was an impressive production that went off without a hitch. Two Olympic cauldrons were lit - one in Milan and the other in Cortina - with Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli performing a rousing rendition of Nessun Dorma as the torch entered the San Siro. That followed a jubilant ending to the athlete's parade, with the Italy team the last to be brought out to huge cheers in all four locations. Figure skater Lilah Fear was the Great Britain flagbearer in Milan, with bobsledder Brad Hall given that honour in Cortina. Italy aside, the warmest welcome was reserved for the Ukrainian athletes, while Team USA were also loudly cheered. But there were boos when US vice-president JD Vance was shown on the big screen, with negative crowd reactions for the Israel and Georgia teams as well.

The Hims website arranged on a laptop in New York, US, on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025. Gabby Jones | Bloomberg | Getty Images The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Friday it plans to restrict GLP-1 ingredients used in non-approved compounded drugs that companies such as Hims & Hers and other compounding pharmacies have been marketing as alternatives to authorized treatments, citing concerns over quality, safety and potential violations of federal law. Shares of online telehealth company Hims and Hers Health fell nearly 12% in after-hours trade. The FDA said it is also taking steps to combat misleading direct-to-consumer advertising and marketing following warning letters that were sent in the fall of 2025. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' General Counsel, Mike Stuart, also said on Friday he has referred Hims & Hers to the Department of Justice for investigation over potential violations, following a review of the applicable facts. Hims and Hers did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. The company had said earlier on Thursday that it would begin offering copies of Novo Nordisk 's new Wegovy pill at an introductory price of $49 per month, about $100 less than the brand name. Novo Nordisk later said it would take legal action against the telehealth company over its plan to sell compounded copies of the drug. The health regulator said that, in promotional materials, companies cannot claim that non-FDA-approved compounded products are generic versions or the same as drugs approved by FDA. It added that "they also cannot state compounded drugs use the same active ingredient as the FDA-approved drugs or that compounded drugs are clinically proven to produce results for the patient."

Getty Images What is happening to the markets, as the selling pressure took down most sectors in the S&P 500 ( SPX ) ( SPY ) on Thursday (February 5), sans the Utilities sector ( XLU ) which barely escaped with a flatline performance? But, on a day when all other sectors were in the red, it counts as scant consolation for most investors, I guess. The growth to value rotation hasn’t lost steam just yet, with consumer staples, energy, and basic materials leading all sectors on a year to date basis. As a result, energy peers are now the best performers in the market for the year, and I believe the question that every tech or growth investor faces right now is whether they should keep their faith in the AI trade, move to the sidelines, or become an avid energy investor, anticipating that this rotation is only a glimpse of what’s about to come. US sector performance on February 5 (Seeking Alpha) The software armageddon, the SaaS apocalypse, the worst selloff software stocks have endured in recent times. Such is the manner of the hammering that is also extended beyond software and into other industries within tech. And as a result, technology is now the worst performing sector on a year to date basis down almost 6%, as compared to energy’s +17% surge. Now, I want to present my heartiest congratulations to energy investors who have waited for this moment for the longest time coming, I believe, since 2022. Energy sector trend score (Sundial Capital) And the good news is that the energy trend score supporting the continuation of this recovery is looking robust and promising. In other words, the market rotation does seem like technology stocks hitting a massive air pocket as investors took profit as the narrative shifted decisively from rhetoric to execution. The need to validate AI spending amid the software fallout has even scuppered world-class guidance from Palantir ( PLTR ). It was not enough to sustain its bullish narrative this week, as the post-earnings decline hamstr...

Key Points Micron is benefiting from the need for high-bandwidth memory. Sandisk is a pure-play way to play the shortage in flash memory created by AI. 10 stocks we like better than Sandisk › Artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure continues to be one of the hottest areas in the market right now. Let's look at two hot AI stocks to buy this month. 1. Micron: A DRAM leader The memory market is on fire, and Micron (NASDAQ: MU) is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this trend. The company is a leader in DRAM (dynamic random access memory), while it also participates in the NAND (flash memory) market. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Micron is one of a trio of companies, along with Samsung and SK Hynix, that dominate the DRAM industry. Meanwhile, a specialized form of DRAM called high-bandwidth memory (HBM) has become an integral part of the AI infrastructure build-out. In order for graphics processing units (GPUs) and other AI chips to perform at their best, they need to be packaged with HBM to quickly store, recover, and transmit data. With demand for AI chips soaring, so is the need for HBM. At the same time, HBM is much more complex to manufacture and requires up to 3 to 4 times the wafer capacity of ordinary DRAM. With DRAM makers putting much of their efforts into HBM, this is leading to an overall DRAM shortage, which is drastically pushing up prices. This has led to huge revenue growth and gross margin expansion for Micron. Last quarter, its revenue surged 59%, while its gross margin increased from 38.4% a year ago to 56%. While Micron is boosting its capital expenditures (capex) to increase capacity, given the growth of the AI infrastructure market, HBM and DRAM supply are likely to remain tight into the foreseeable future, hugely benefiting the company. 2. Sandisk: A NAND pure play For investors looking to benefit from th...

Key Points Gen Digital is a cash-generating machine. That cash is funding shareholders' dividend payments and sizable stock buybacks. 10 stocks we like better than Gen Digital › Shares of Gen Digital (NASDAQ: GEN) climbed on Friday after the digital sentinel announced solid quarterly growth metrics and boosted its full-year profit forecast. By the close of trading, Gen's stock price was up more than 8%. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Gen Digital's strong growth momentum Gen's revenue jumped 26% year over year to $1.2 billion in its fiscal 2026 third quarter ended Jan. 2. With brands like Norton and LifeLock, the cybersecurity company provides antivirus software, identity protection, and online privacy tools to almost 500 million users across over 150 countries. "As AI transforms digital life and the threat landscape, consumers need protection and guidance they can trust," CEO Vincent Pilette said in a press release. "Our Q3 results confirm that Gen's platform strategy is resonating." Better still, Gen's cash production is strengthening as it grows its revenue base. The company's year-to-date free cash flow surged 42% to over $1 billion, much of which Gen used to reward investors with dividends and stock buybacks. "The strength of our financial model continues to generate substantial free cash flow enabling us to invest in growth and innovation while deploying nearly $700 million of capital to shareholders during the quarter," chief financial officer Natalie Derse said. Management expects more AI-fueled gains These robust results and positive ongoing sales trends prompted Gen to lift its full-year financial outlook. The company now projects revenue of $4.955 billion to $4.975 billion, up from a prior forecast of $4.92 billion to $4.97 billion. Gen also anticipates adjusted earnings...

Key Points Dogecoin is riding a wave of green higher after Bitcoin reverses a painful slide. The tech market also reversed course after losing nearly 4.5% Monday through Thursday. 10 stocks we like better than Dogecoin › Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) is jumping today, up 11.1% in the last 24 hours as of 5:08 p.m. ET on Friday. There really isn't anything specific driving the substantial gain today. Rather, the meme coin is caught up in a larger rally after Bitcoin finally reversed its weeks-long slide. The OG cryptocurrency was approaching $60,000 for the first time in nearly 18 months. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » True to form, altcoins like Dogecoin followed Bitcoin's lead. Tech rebounds, lifting crypto Bitcoin's troubles deepened as tech stocks sold off hard on growing concerns about artificial intelligent (AI) spending. Recent earnings revealed that big tech's infrastructure investments keep hitting new records, raising questions about when -- and if -- these massive outlays will pay off. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite lost nearly 4.5% over the week's first four days before bouncing 2.1% on Friday. Should you buy Dogecoin? Let's be clear about what Dogecoin is: a meme coin -- a purely speculative asset whose value derives entirely from internet culture and collective enthusiasm rather than any fundamental utility. That makes it extraordinarily sensitive to shifts in sentiment and broader market conditions. When the vibes turn negative, there's no floor. I would not invest in Dogecoin.

New York, Feb 6, 2026, 5:32 PM EST — After-hours Oracle shares were last up about 4.6% at $142.82 in after-hours trading. Recent filings detail a $25 billion bond issuance and an up to $20 billion at-the-market share-sale program. Focus turns to the pace of fundraising, AI-driven cloud spending, and Oracle’s next earnings update. Oracle Corp shares rose about 4.6% to $142.82 in after-hours trading on Friday, clawing back some of Thursday’s sharp drop. The stock traded between $135.94 and $143.11 during the session as volumes stayed heavy. The bounce comes as investors keep a tight focus on Oracle’s funding needs for its cloud buildout, an area that has turned into a live wire for big tech. Oracle said earlier this week it expects to raise $45 billion to $50 billion in 2026 to add cloud infrastructure capacity, pointing to contracted demand from large Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers including AMD, Meta, Nvidia, OpenAI, TikTok and xAI. 1 That matters because the market has turned sensitive to AI-related capital spending — not just how big it is, but who pays for it and when cash comes back. On Thursday, the Nasdaq slid as investors sold tech heavyweights after Alphabet said it could double AI-related capital spending; Oracle fell 7% in that session. “We’re seeing this volatility about whether this investment will translate, ultimately, into results,” said Tom Hainlin, an investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. 2 On Friday, the mood shifted. The Dow closed above 50,000 for the first time and the S&P 500 gained 1.97%, with chipmakers rallying as markets leaned into the idea that more data-center spending could still mean more hardware demand. The S&P 500 Software & Services index rebounded, ending a seven-session losing streak, Reuters reported. 3 Oracle’s own disclosures show how much of the debate is now about capital markets mechanics, not just cloud bookings. A Feb. 2 filing said Oracle signed an equity distribution agreement to sell up to $20.0 ...

Liam Rosenior says life is too short to worry about people laughing at him. The 41-year-old has quickly become a figure of fun since his appointment as Chelsea’s head coach and was ridiculed after miscontrolling a dropping ball during his side’s defeat at Arsenal on Tuesday. It was the latest example of Rosenior facing online mockery because of his quotes and mannerisms. He has been referred to as “LinkedIn Liam” because of some of his comments in press conferences and compared to David Brent. One meme had him mocked up as Will McKenzie, the nerdy lead character from The Inbetweeners. Rosenior is aware of the jokes at his expense but has made clear he does not take himself too seriously. He is not on social media so may not have seen another Premier League club poking fun at his clumsy attempt to trap a ball during Chelsea’s Carabao Cup semi-final against Arsenal. Asked whether he had been working on his touch before Saturday’s trip to Wolves, though, Rosenior was self-deprecating enough to reveal he has come in for stick from Chelsea’s 18-year-old Brazilian winger, Estêvão Willian. “The lads have played it back to me on the video and we’ve had a laugh about it,” he said. “Estêvão said he can’t believe that I was a professional footballer. This is a great job – I love this job. I am serious in many aspects and demanding in many aspects. Life is too short. You have to enjoy life. You have to be able to laugh at yourself. At the moment, a lot of people in this country have been laughing at me.” Rosenior, who has six wins from his first eight games, has placed a big emphasis on creating the right culture at Chelsea. His players are holding pre-match huddles in the centre circle. The influence of Willie Isa, Chelsea’s player support and development officer, is felt. “That’s a group thing,” Rosenior said. “Willie is a top guy. He comes from New Zealand, where the culture of togetherness and spirit is crucial. He’s spoken with the leadership group about different things w...

The test for Liverpool against Manchester City on Sunday is not of their title credentials. That ship has sailed. Instead it is of how far Arne Slot’s side have truly progressed since their title defence was holed. Slot feels Liverpool’s displays have warranted defeat only occasionally this season – late lapses, set-piece failures and wasted chances have been more common explanations than the overall performance – and the 3-0 reverse at the Etihad Stadium in November was certainly one of them. The controversy over Virgil van Dijk’s disallowed header at 1-0 still lingers for the Dutchman but does not prevent him holding his hands up. “In the first half we were outplayed for large parts,” he reiterated this week. “We have shown we are able to compete with any team except for large parts of the first half against City. But it also helped [them] that the goal was disallowed for the wrong reasons in my opinion and they got a penalty. But they were the better team. We want to show a different side of us [on Sunday].” That defeat, in the 1,000th match of Pep Guardiola’s managerial career, was Liverpool’s seventh in the sequence of nine losses in 12 games that derailed their league campaign and undermined support for Slot. As the response to the subsequent 13-game unbeaten run and defeat at Bournemouth showed – misgivings accompanying almost every performance before erupting after another set-piece calamity on the south coast – neither team nor coach has fully recovered. Belatedly, however, there are at least signs of a recovery being under way. Liverpool have heeded Slot’s call for improvement in both boxes in their past two outings; the 6-0 rout of Qarabag that secured a place in the last-16 of the Champions League and the ultimately convincing 4-1 comeback against Newcastle last weekend. The team’s pressing game and work rate were superior, there were fewer chances conceded, and the form of summer signings Hugo Ekitiké, Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez continued an upwards...

Rishi Sunak has described himself as being “British, English and British Asian” in a riposte to increasing racially charged language used by figures on the right. The UK’s first British Asian prime minister was speaking after his identity was questioned in recent debate sparked by a claim by the podcaster Konstantin Kisin that Sunak was not English because he was a “brown-skinned Hindu”. Suella Braverman, the London-born Reform MP and former home secretary, later appeared to give credence to Kisin’s claims by saying that she was not English and questioning whether others born in the country could necessarily have that identity. More recently, Matthew Goodwin, Reform UK’s candidate in the upcoming Gorton and Denton byelection, refused to disown a claim that UK-born people from minority ethnic backgrounds were not necessarily British. Speaking out for the first time since those interventions, the Southampton-born former Conservative leader said the racism directed at him and his siblings was “seared in his memory” and warned against Britain “slipping back” to a time when racism was more overt. Sunak was giving evidence to the Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion, co-chaired by Sajid Javid and Jon Cruddas, which aims to speak to millions of people to try to improve cohesion after the Southport tragedy and riots. View image in fullscreen Sajid Javid, pictured with his wife Laura, has previously written about being subjected to racism while growing up in Rochdale. Photograph: Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images “I think there has been – what I describe it as – is a bit more ‘shock jockery’, recently … as people are saying outrageous things to get attention,” said Sunak, when asked if there had been shifting of the “Overton Window”, a term for the range of ideas and language that are deemed acceptable in mainstream debate. “That’s one of my worries about the attention economy, or whatever you want to call it, and how that works now, and how we consume media, is that ...

Michael Carrick has dropped the first hint he is keen on remaining as Manchester United head coach beyond the end of the season. Carrick has tried to avoid any talk about his long-term future at Old Trafford since he was appointed as Ruben Amorim's temporary successor on 13 January. Unlike Amorim, it is not Carrick's way to go looking for headlines or discuss with the media sensitive issues that his bosses would probably prefer were kept in-house. That is why Carrick's answer seemed significant as he was asked about United's plans for the summer and how involved in them he would be. "Nothing's changed, to be honest," he said. "I'm fully aware of the role I'm doing here and the responsibility I've got. We want to be successful, and I want the club to be successful beyond the end of the season - if that's me, if that's somebody else. "At this stage, I can't control that and we'll see what happens, but it's certainly about trying to improve the team and making Manchester United stronger. Results over a short period of time don't change that. "If they have changed there is something wrong. It can't be so knee-jerk whether it's really good or whether there's a few issues we need to solve."
