A general view of the stadium while Charlie Puth performs the National Anthem prior to the start of the Seattle Seahawks versus the New England Patriots Super Bowl LX game on Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. Matthew Huang | Icon Sportswire | Getty Images Nearly 125 million U.S. viewers tuned in to watch the Seattle Seahawks crush the New England Patriots in Sunday's Super Bowl, making it the second-most-watched show in U.S. history, according to NBC Sports data released on Tuesday. The Seahawks' 29-13 victory over the Patriots averaged 124.9 million viewers on the NBC network, as well as on the streaming service Peacock and Spanish-language broadcaster Telemundo and on NFL+, NBC Sports said, citing Nielsen data. The league's national championship game ranked just behind last year's Super Bowl matchup on Fox, in which the Philadelphia Eagles trounced the Kansas City Chiefs. That competition averaged a record 127.7 million viewers, according to Nielsen. More viewers tuned in to watch the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Latino rap star Bad Bunny. The live performance averaged 128.2 million viewers in the United States, and logged 4 billion views on social media within the first 24 hours of the performance, according to NBC. The Super Bowl is the biggest event each year on U.S. television. The audience peaked at 137.8 million in the game's second quarter, the network said. Advertisers this year paid as much as $10 million for 30 seconds of time during the game. Bad Bunny transformed Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, into an homage to his native Puerto Rico in a high-energy performance that included surprise appearances by Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin and a tribute to reggaeton pioneer Daddy Yankee. The selection of Bad Bunny, whose given name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, to headline the halftime show drew a rebuke from President Donald Trump and other conservatives over the entertainer's choice to perform entirely in Spanish and his ou...

A Malaysia-based artist has filed a lawsuit against the low-cost airline carrier AirAsia and its parent company Capital A Berhad for allegedly using his art on a plane without permission. Ernest Zacharevic, a Lithuanian-born artist based in Penang, alleged AirAsia used his 2012 street mural, Children on a Bicycle, on an aircraft between October and November 2024. According to Zacharevic, who on Monday filed his lawsuit in the high court of Kuala Lumpur, AirAsia used his artwork “as part of its external corporate branding”. The piece – an interactive installation in George Town, Penang – features a real bike attached to a wall and paintings of two laughing children. “This was done without my consent, authorisation, or licensing arrangement,” he alleged. Court documents reviewed by the Guardian stated Zacharevic contacted the airline about the alleged breach, and “the defendants acknowledged the unauthorised use and reproduction of plaintiff’s works on the airplane, and proceeded to remove the infringing material from public display” in December 2024. Zacharevic has accused AirAsia and Capital A, which has an estimated market value of $658m, and its affiliated entities of repeatedly using his artworks in its campaigns and products without consent. According to court documents, AirAsia launched a promotional campaign in 2016 to promote its route between Penang, Malaysia, and Yangon, in Myanmar. Zacharevic alleged his works were “prominently reproduced and displayed on the promotional banner and related publicity materials” without his knowledge. The documents also detailed negotiations Zacharevic had with the airline in 2017 about a proposed art commission on a plane and a mural in one of the company’s offices, the documents said. At the time, the airline was “made fully aware of the plaintiff’s authorship of his works, his standard business rates, and the terms upon which he licenses or authorises use of his artistic creations”. Despite this, the documents alleged, “t...

China’s factory deflation eased more than expected in January, as downward pressure on prices moderates thanks to higher commodity costs and government efforts to rein in excessive competition among companies. Producer prices fell 1.4% last month from a year earlier, their smallest decline since July 2024, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Wednesday. The consumer-price index rose just 0.2% in January from a year earlier after a 0.8% rise in December — a slowdown caused largely by base effects. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg was for a 0.4% uptick. China’s economy remains in the grip of deflation that’s eating away at income and profits. The country’s gross domestic product deflator declined for the third straight year in 2025, the longest streak since China transitioned toward a market economy in the late 1970s. The statistical effect of a high base last year probably contributed to January’s slower rate of consumer inflation because of the timing of the Lunar New Year, which tends to drive up spending by households. The festival is a moving holiday that ran from Jan. 28 to Feb. 4 in 2025 but will fall entirely in February of this year. Bloomberg Economics expects China’s economy to start to reflate as soon as in mid-2026, thanks to subsidies to spur consumption and policies to curb involution-style competition. What Bloomberg Economics Says... “Going forward, a more sustainable recovery in prices will require longer-term support to revive consumer demand. That won’t be easy with confidence so low.” — Eric Zhu and David Qu . For full analysis, click here Chinese officials have signaled that maintaining a “reasonable recovery in prices” has become a key consideration for monetary policy in 2026, with the central bank suggesting it has room to further reduce interest rates and reserve requirements for lenders. The inflation reading for the full calendar year of 2025 was zero, the lowest since 2009 and far below ...

Igors Aleksejevs/iStock via Getty Images VTOL Can Limp Before Taking Off Bristow Group ( VTOL ), which provides flight solutions and air transportation to the offshore energy companies and government agencies, has its offshore growth momentum intact. The US Gulf lacks growth, and the European territory (North Sea) appears to be retreating from offshore work at the moment. But Brazil, Africa, and the Caribbean more than make up for it, turning on the company’s fleet of S-92 and AW189s for a medium-to-long term growth. I discussed more about Bristow's drivers in my previous article . The supply chain issue has been a continuous headache for VTOL, limiting near-term upside. But it won’t affect the AW189 deliveries, where the company sees activity buzzing up. A robust balance sheet, strengthened by improved free cash flows, underpins its medium-term outlook. The stock is undervalued versus its peers. But my projection puts its stock price stalling in the short term before recovering in the medium term, so I rate it a “hold.” Industry And Key Growth Drivers VTOL's Q3 2025 Earnings Presentation Bristow continues to benefit from the offshore market growth. It is one of the largest operators of S92, AW189, and AW139 helicopters, which are primarily used in offshore transport and SAR markets. In recent months, it has improved its vendor credit programs because it has strong relationships with its OEM partners. Vendor credit is an important strategic tool as it can influence aircraft purchases, maintenance agreements, or performance-related adjustments. Bristow sees select growth opportunities from the upgrades with next-generation AW189 helicopters and investments in Government Services contracts. Sales to the government services have helped it diversify its revenue source away from offshore energy alone. However, the company’s strategic transformation is not limited to operational initiatives only; it has accelerated debt repayment, targeting lower net debt by 2026. On top ...
