格隆汇3月27日｜据美国趣味工程网站，美国密苏里大学科学家领衔的工程师团队，正致力于开发一种能够在深海、外太空等极端环境中连续运行数月甚至数年而无需维护的核动力光伏电池。该项目总投资280万美元，并获美国国防部高级研究计划局（DARPA）支持。这种核动力光伏电池可将核辐射直接转化为电能。与传统电池不同，它无需充电，能为远程应用提供长期稳定的电力。这些微型电池结构紧凑，专为浮标、航天器及远程传感器设计，在这些场合，更换或充电都极为困难。团队的目标是实现每千克质量产生10瓦电力，功率密度将显著高于现有光伏系统。

格隆汇3月27日｜经济日报金观平文章指出，当前，财政增收面临较大压力、刚性支出不减，收支总体紧平衡，有的地方收支矛盾较突出。在此背景下，强调更好“当家理财”、增收节支意义重大。增收的基础在于促进经济发展，涵养税收的源头活水。各地应锚定经济高质量发展，积极拓展税源，依法严格规范征收，形成经济发展与税收增收的良性循环。当然也要注意，防止收过头税费，决不能竭泽而渔。同时，通过税制改革为地方提供增收动能，特别是优化税制培育高质量财源。应加快健全地方税体系，推动地方附加税改革，调整优化消费税征税范围、税率并推进部分品目征收环节后移，推动地方形成稳定、可持续的税源。增收不应只盯增量，也要在存量上做文章，特别是积极盘活利用存量资源资产。当前，各地有不少国有资产闲置沉淀或者低效运转。创新机制实现充分利用和调剂共享，唤醒“沉睡”的资源资产，也是“当家理财”的重要手段。

Two years to the day since penalty shootout heartbreak against Poland, more agony from 12 yards for Wales. Bosnia and Herzegovina prevailed on spot-kicks after a typically absorbing night in the Welsh capital, one that went the distance, more than 133 minutes passed before Brennan Johnson spooned over and Neco Williams saw his penalty saved by Nikola Vasilj, who read Williams’s effort to his left. For so long it had seemed Daniel James, whose spot-kick was saved by Wojciech Szczesny to kill hopes of reaching Euro 2024, would be the match-winner but Edin Dzeko, who turned 40 this month, glanced in a header to take the game to extra time. For the second successive qualifying campaign, the locals left the Cardiff City Stadium with that horrible feeling in the pits of their stomachs, a numbness. Continue reading...

cherdchai chawienghong/iStock via Getty Images Introduction It’s been almost two years since I decided to cover Immersion Corporation ( IMMR ), and the decline of its share price prompted me to look into it once again and give some color on what has happened since then and why such a decline has occurred. Currently, there are a lot of risks around the restatement delays, which could push the company to be delisted. Besides that, the company’s lumpy revenue business model and how they go about getting that revenue are still unappealing to me. I hope that the current investors or potential investors will weigh their relationship with IMMR and decide what is best for their money. The Beginning Of Troubles - BNED Accounting Issues It seems that the issues were identified in 2025. Immersion and Barnes & Noble ( BNED ) audit committee investigations found some accounting issues, which led to a lot of filings being in need of restatement. The core issues at hand were found to be unsupported manual journal entries that seem to have reduced the cost of sales in the fiscal 2024 and 2025 periods and errors in revenue recognition for the First Day Complete program. The revenue under this program was recognized too early because opt-out assumptions were incorrect and later were reversed when the actual opt-out rates were known. The full explanation can be found in the link here. Here is an excerpt: The Investigation is now complete and, based on the Investigation, the Barnes & Noble Education Audit Committee concluded that a former Barnes & Noble Education Payment Processing employee (whom Barnes & Noble Education had terminated) made unsupported manual journal entries that improperly reduced cost of sales in the fiscal years ended April 27, 2024 and May 3, 2025. And; The Investigation also concluded that certain revenue recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 related to First Day Complete was incorrectly accelerated based upon incorrect optout assumptions; this revenue a...

Earnings Call Insights: Shoe Carnival (SCVL) Q4 2025 Management View Interim President & CEO Clifton Sifford opened by addressing the departure of former CEO Mark Worden on February 24 and confirmed his own appointment as Interim CEO, stating the search for a permanent successor is underway. Sifford emphasized his experience with the company and a focus on operational discipline, noting "Fiscal '25 demonstrated this organization's fundamental operational discipline. Full year EPS of $1.90 exceeded consensus. Gross profit margin exceeded 35% for the fifth consecutive year. We ended the year debt-free for the 21st consecutive year with over $130 million in cash and securities." Sifford discussed the strategic adjustment in the rebanner program, sharing that 101 rebanners were completed in fiscal 2025, but observed "meaningful variability in in-store sales performance across the converted locations." He announced a slower pace with only 21 stores to be rebannered before back-to-school 2026 and reaffirmed the Board's commitment to Shoe Station as the company's long-term growth vehicle. The company launched the Jordan brand from Nike in over 60% of stores, with plans for a full fleet rollout by mid-April and a projected impact of approximately 5% of enterprise-level athletic sales. Sifford outlined three operational priorities for fiscal 2026: reducing inventory, completing targeted rebanners, and controlling costs, with an emphasis on working down $440 million in merchandise inventory. CFO W. Jackson stated, "Net sales in the fourth quarter were $254.1 million, a decline of 3.4% versus $262.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Comparable store sales declined 3.5%. By banner, Shoe Station net sales were approximately flat with a low single-digit comparable store sales decline. Shoe Carnival net sales declined 4.5% with a mid-single-digit comparable store sales decline." Outlook Fiscal 2026 guidance includes expected net sales down 1% to up 1% versus fiscal 202...

格隆汇3月27日｜据央视，黎巴嫩总理纳瓦夫·萨拉姆当地时间26日与联合国秘书长古特雷斯通电话，萨拉姆在通话中强调了以色列国防部长多次威胁要占领利塔尼河以南地区，以及以色列财政部长发表的吞并该地区的言论。萨拉姆还详细描述了黎巴嫩南部城镇和村庄居民的大规模流离失所、土地每日遭到侵占以及房屋被拆毁甚至夷为平地的情况，这表明平民在短期内可能无法返回家园。萨拉姆强调，无论以色列是以“安全地带”还是“缓冲区”为借口，这些行动和言论都对黎巴嫩的主权、领土完整和公民权利构成严重威胁，并违反了国际法和《联合国宪章》。萨拉姆告知古特雷斯，他已要求外交部长立即向联合国安全理事会提出申诉，敦促联合国承担起制止这些侵犯人权行为的责任。

格隆汇3月27日｜据华尔街日报，参与和平谈判的调解方透露，伊朗未要求美国暂停对其能源设施的打击行动，也未就结束战争的15点计划作出最终回应。特朗普此前表示，将对伊朗能源设施的打击行动再暂停10天，至4月6日。特朗普此前设定的最后期限是本周五。他表示，延期是应伊朗的要求。调解方称，伊朗官员已向他们表示，伊朗对谈判感兴趣，但伊朗领导层尚未参与并作出最终决定。调解方表示，伊朗官员已要求美国缩减其在15点计划中提出的过高要求，然后才会同意会面讨论可能的停火事宜。伊朗还排除了将讨论其导弹计划作为谈判起点的可能性，并且不愿承诺永远停止铀浓缩活动。调解方称，停火成功的可能性仍然很低，因为美伊提出的强硬要求超出了对方所能接受的范围。

Earnings Call Insights: Blink Charging Co. (BLNK) Q4 2025 Management View President and CEO Michael Battaglia declared that "the fourth quarter of 2025 marks a pivotal moment for Blink Charging. The most significant transformation in this company's history, our BlinkForward initiative substantially met its 2025 objectives." He emphasized a transition from restructuring to preparing for growth, highlighting a reduction in global headcount from nearly 600 to fewer than 300 employees and a completed shift to contract manufacturing in the U.S. and India. Battaglia stated, "We reassessed and subsequently wrote off approximately $6 million of legacy inventory at year-end as part of this realignment." Battaglia detailed a 32% decrease in adjusted Q4 operating expenses to $17.1 million, down from $25.2 million in early 2025, and highlighted service revenue growth: "In Q4, our service revenues reached $14.7 million, up 62% year-over-year. Service revenues represented 54% of our total revenue, up from 32% in Q4 of last year." Blink also raised $20 million in a follow-on equity offering in December, primarily to expand its DC fast charging network. CFO Michael Bercovich said, "Q4 2025 revenues were $27 million compared to $28 million in the fourth quarter of 2024," and reported product revenues of $11 million for the quarter.

He outlined a gross margin target of approximately 34%–35% and emphasized the expectation of "significantly reduced a...

Ashi Sae Yang/iStock via Getty Images Intro While it’s always important to balance risk within a portfolio, during uncertain times, it becomes even more important to put more focus on investments that are less correlated with the main indexes. As is often the case, it’s easier said than done — just like many things in life. As a rule of thumb, the much‑discussed bonds‑versus‑equities split is usually a starting point when one is thinking about portfolio diversification. While there are some exceptions, most of the time the two don’t correlate much. Between them, you can include every other asset class — commodities, REITs, cryptocurrencies, and various alternatives such as option‑based strategies. If we look at each asset class more closely, they all have their own subdivisions: in commodities, you have precious metals like gold and silver, and in energy, you have oil and gas, and so on. Bonds can be viewed along a spectrum of risk, starting with Treasuries at the lower‑risk end and extending to junk bonds at the higher‑risk end. In equities, the lower‑risk end might be a boring grocery retailer, while the riskiest end could be a small AI play with no real earnings but an impressive story and an elevated stock price. There’s one asset category that often gets less attention – preferred stocks. Continuing the previous line of thought, I see them sitting somewhere between high‑yield dividend stocks and high‑yield (junk) bonds in terms of risk. They’re technically equities, but in practice, they share more similarities with bonds. Asset Manager Virtus , managing the Virtus InfraCap US Preferred Stock ETF ( PFFA ) built on preferred stocks, offers the following definition and illustrative chart: Preferred stock is a class of capital equity that pays regular dividends at a specified rate and has priority over common stock, but not corporate debt, in the payment of dividends and in any liquidation of the corporation’s assets (hence the term “preferred”). Preferreds are of...

Whenever a place rises up economically on the mainland, some observers inevitably portray it as a potential competitor with Hong Kong. This view misunderstands the crucial role the city plays as a global financial hub in Beijing’s “opening up” liberalisation. Hainan’s new status as a free-trade port is a case in point. The usual suspects warn that the island – more than 30 times the size of Hong Kong – could become a duty-free competitor. In reality, besides being Hainan’s biggest source of...
