If it’s time for you to upgrade your phone, it’s worth considering the Pixel 10A , Google’s latest midrange phone that has some (but not all) of the new software features of the pricier $599 Pixel 10. Every color of the 128GB 10A — including the alluring “berry” tone — is down to $449 ($50 off) at Amazon , Best Buy , and the Google Store , where you can get it for even less with an eligible trade-in. This is the first cash discount we’ve seen since the phone’s launch in early March. The 256GB version is $50 off, too, selling for $549 at Amazon and Best Buy . Google Pixel 10A Where to Buy: $499 $449 at Amazon (128GB) $499 $449 at Best Buy (128GB) $599 $549 at Amazon (256GB) If you look at our coverage of the Pixel 10A , it won’t take you long to put the pieces together and see that we feel Google played it safe with this year’s model. It’s strikingly similar to last year’s Pixel 9A — both feature a Tensor G4 processor, plus a camera combo consisting of a 48-megapixel main shooter and a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens — but we don’t suggest getting the 9A, right now at least. Its software support will end a year earlier, and it’s currently more expensive than the 10A ($50 more at most retailers). The 10A stands out for its slightly brighter screen, faster wired charging, and support for Satellite SOS, among other small differences. It also has two unique AI-powered features from the Pixel 10 series that are not available on the 9A: Camera Coach and Auto Best Take. However, there are no internal hardware differences in the latest version that would prevent the features from coming to last year’s model. Read our full Pixel 10A review .

Federal Court Strikes Down 158-Year-Old Home Distilling Ban Authored by Kimberly Hayek via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), A federal appeals court on April 10 declared a nearly 158-year-old ban on home distilling to be unconstitutional , ruling that the ban was an unnecessary and improper means for Congress to exercise its power to tax. A judge's gavel rests on top of a desk in a courtroom in Miami on Feb. 3, 2009. Joe Raedle/Getty Images Writing for a three-judge panel in McNutt v. U.S. Department of Justice, Judge Edith Hollan Jones of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit found that the ban actually reduced tax revenue by preventing distilling in the first place, the opposite of its stated intent. The court ruled in favor of the nonprofit Hobby Distillers Association and four of its 1,300 members, who argued that people should be free to distill spirits at home, whether as a hobby or for personal consumption—including, for instance, to create an apple pie vodka recipe one of the plaintiffs created. The ban was part of a law passed during Reconstruction in July 1868. It imposed excise taxes on distilled spirits but also made it illegal for a person to use “any still, boiler, or other vessel for purpose of distilling” when the still was located, among other places, “in any dwelling-house” or “in any shed, yard, or enclosure connected with any dwelling-house.” The case began in December 2023 when the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a libertarian think tank, filed suit on behalf of the Hobby Distillers Association and four individuals against the Treasury Department’s Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau and the Department of Justice. The hobby group argued that the government’s regulatory reach could not extend to activities within a person’s home. The face of the case was Scott McNutt, a New Jersey resident and former U.S. Coast Guard engineer. McNutt received an unsolicited letter from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau warning him of po...

simona flamigni/iStock Editorial via Getty Images In this article, I'll be providing an update on BNP Paribas ( BNPQF ), an investment I had over a year ago. It was part of a major set of investments in European banking when those banks, including BNP, were underappreciated and, in my view, undervalued. Not only did I make good returns from BNP Paribas, but also from Société Générale ( SCGLY ) and from Credit Agricole ( CRARY ). However, I sold all of those positions over a year ago, and I reinvested the capital into other companies. For the most part, I'm happy with the decision to do that. While some of the banks have seen some outperformance relative to the SPY, up about 9% since my last article on BNP Paribas, found here, the investments I've made are mostly more attractive than it would have been (in my view) to keep BNP in my portfolio. Of course, there are probably those who kept BNP in their portfolio, and those have also done well if holding on to this bank until now. Despite the significant decline during the fall of last year, BNP has come back in early 2026 and is currently trading at what I would consider a relatively high valuation. This begs the question if the company should be viewed as a target for rotation here. Trading at a native price target of about €90/share may not be viewed as very expensive given a relatively low P/E, relatively good fundamentals, and a decent dividend, but there are risks to this bank that should not be underestimated in the long term. The current targets and forecasts are for the bank to grow an average of double digits in EPS over the next three years. I have previously covered both regional and multinational banks with similar growth profiles and forecasts and cited those as being unrealistic. In my Investing Group, Wolf of Value , I cover other financials and banks similar to BNP Paribas that I consider to be more attractive than this one, as well as other interesting investments for both conservative, income-oriented...

财联社4月13日讯（记者 王海春） 位于江苏省的无锡市，出台了力度不弱的楼市扶持措施。 4月13日，无锡发布两项购房支持政策：《关于支持各类人才在锡发展给予购房补贴的通知》、《关于支持市区基本居住需求家庭改善住房条件的通知》及其相关实施细则。 其中，新发布的人才购房补贴政策存在不少亮点，大幅提升补贴力度即是其中一个方面。 具体而言，新办法按学历/技能分级补贴：大专（高级工）8万元，本科（技师）12万元，硕士（高级技师及以上）25万元，博士40万元，补贴将一次性发放。该项补贴可直接充抵购房款（含首付）补贴资金能直接抵扣房款，包括首付款，大幅降低人才购房前期资金压力。 无锡本次还放宽了该项政策申请门槛，全日制大专及以上或高级工以上即可，社保仅需累计缴满3个月且在缴，年龄限40周岁及以下，加大了覆盖面。新政策还支持企业团购，不降低补贴标准企业一次性团购5套及以上，人才仍享受同档次补贴，鼓励企业集中引才、留才。 需要注意的是，该项政策仅限无房家庭，政策精准导向安居申请人及配偶市区无房，夫妻仅一人可申请，一套房只享一次，避免重复享受。附加条件还明确，享受该项政策者，所购住房自不动产权属证办理后5年内不得上市。另外，申请人购买的新建商品住房现房不包括安置房、定销商品房、配售型保障房等政策性住房，不包括法拍房。 “无锡出台的房地产新政，从人才支持和基本居住需求两个维度同步发力，体现出较强的政策精准度和民生导向。人才购房补贴政策，面向大专至博士及相应技能人才，提供8万元至40万元可直接抵扣首付的购房补贴，有效降低了人才在锡置业的门槛，有助于增强城市人才吸引力。”易居研究院副院长严跃进表示。 对于基本居住需求家庭改善住房政策，无锡将按购房款的15%给予资助，最高不超过20万元，以直接降低刚需及改善家庭购房成本。支持市区无房家庭，也支持名下仅有75平方米及以下住宅的改善型家庭，覆盖人群广，兼顾无房与小户型家庭 相关部门强调，已婚家庭以家庭为主体申请，夫妻一方符合条件即可，政策更贴合家庭购房实际。资金使用方式可抵扣房款但不用于首付，与人才政策形成差异化设计。 广东省住房政策研究中心首席研究员李宇嘉指出，该项政策更多着眼于针对改善型需求。 “这部分人群若卖一买一，与首次置业人群相比，首付压力可能会相对小一些。相关补贴可直接用于支付购房款，能直接降低月供，有助于促进卖旧买新的换房需求，提高交...

Carolina Rudah/iStock via Getty Images Novo Nordisk A/S ( NVO ) is a multinational pharmaceutical company best known for Wegovy and Ozempic, GLP-1 drugs best known for revolutionizing weight loss. Despite that, the company's share price has dropped substantially, with continued weakness since we recommended catching the falling knife, impacted by increased competition and generics in a promising market. Despite that, Novo Nordisk has an impressive portfolio of drugs under development and financials that make the company a valuable investment. Novo Nordisk 2025 Highlights Novo Nordisk managed to have a strong 2025 despite growing competition, with 10% sales growth and 6% operating profit growth. Novo Nordisk Investor Presentation Novo Nordisk managed to have a massive, almost $5 billion USD in FCF and almost double that in shareholder returns. Despite continued investments, the company also has a 4.8% dividend yield that it can comfortably afford in our view. The erosion of market share is clearly visible, with a 3.6% decline, but the growth in the market resulted in strong obesity care sales growth. Additionally, Novo Nordisk has continued to put together a strong alternative portfolio, with 9% rare disease sales growth. Novo Nordisk is continuing to raise the bar for innovation and has an exciting portfolio of upcoming opportunities. Novo Nordisk Investor Presentation Novo Nordisk continues to earn the lion's share of its revenue from the United States with the growth of GLP-1 drugs. However, international operations saw faster growth (almost double the rate of the US), indicating the company's continued diversification. At the same time, Novo Nordisk continues to see strong growth in obesity care and rare diseases, even if GLP-1 growth slows. Novo Nordisk Investor Presentation It's worth noting here that the GLP-1 market might be seeing substantial competition; however, rapid growth in the market itself is making up for that. In the international market, Ozempic r...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Adobe ( ADBE ) and Figma ( FIG ) both received Neutral ratings as BTIG initiated coverage on the digital content creation software firms. Shares for both companies had edged up about 4% by noon trading on Monday. "ADBE has long been the market-share leader for creative professionals through its Creative Cloud suite, helping ADBE drive ~$24B in FY25 revenue (+11% Y/Y) and delivering a margin profile few software companies may ever be able to match (FY25 GAAP OMs 37%)," said BTIG analysts, led by Nick Altmann, in an investor report. "That said, AI is raising a host of questions about the future of the creative ecosystem, fueling concerns about Adobe's longer-term revenue and margin trajectory. While we're encouraged by Adobe’s AI strategy and view current valuation levels as attractive (~11.5x CY27E GAAP Earnings vs. ~26x peers) and believe some of the worries are overblown, we seek greater conviction on how AI ultimately reshapes the creative space & ADBE's financial profile before recommending the shares." Adobe's shares have declined 33% year to date. Similarly, BTIG is impressed with Figma's design products but is waiting to see more of its AI monetization strategy in action. "FIG's direct monetization efforts for its Make offering initiated more broadly in March (via the introduction of credit consumption and enforcement of credit limits) and early KPIs around usage (e.g., GM compression from significant inference costs, Make WAU's up 70% Q/Q, etc.) get us constructive on FIG's potential to be one of the earliest application software companies to monetize AI," Altmann noted. "That said, it remains difficult to decipher the degree to which monetization can happen in the NT and how much the initial usage will carry through once customers are charged."

Click here to find out more » wdstock/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. ( BBW ) is increasingly a capital allocation story rather than a pure retail play. Management has already been directing most new locations toward partner-operated and franchise formats, and if that patter continues, asset-light channels would likely represent more than half of the store count by FY2028. The benefit of that shift should show up less in the top line growth and more in the quality of the business: stronger FCF, lower reinvestment needs, and a balance sheet that stays healthy even while the company keeps buying back stock and paying healthy dividends. FY2026 may still be a transition year given tariff impacts and upfront investments , but if the mix keeps moving this way, I think the business could end up looking better on cash flow than what the market is pricing in. Business Model Build-A-Bear makes money by selling stuffed animals, clothes, accessories, sounds around a personalized experience. The key is that customers usually do not buy just one bear, they build the bear and then spend more on add-ons, so Build-A-Bear is really making money from both the core product and the higher-ticket experience around it. The business now spans three main operating formats, each with different economics for the parent company. Corporate Stores Corporate-owned stores are how Build-A-Bear originally built the business. They are company-run stores where the customers take part in the full experience, choosing the animal, stuffing it, dressing it, accessorizing it and giving it a name. Partner-Operated Stores Partner-operated stores are meant to deliver the same core experience, but they are not run...

欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩13日表示，中东危机已对欧盟经济造成巨大影响。欧盟委员会将提出一系列举措，以应对能源价格上涨和供应受阻。 冯德莱恩当天在布鲁塞尔举行的记者会上说，此次中东冲突开始以来，欧盟进口化石燃料成本已增加220亿欧元。欧盟委员会将于本月22日公布能源价格应对措施提案，并将提交下周在塞浦路斯举行的欧盟领导人非正式会议讨论。 她同时表示，在更广泛的经济干预措施方面，欧盟将保持审慎，相关措施必须控制在最低限度，以避免公共赤字出现不必要的恶化。 有分析认为，当前国际能源市场对地缘政治局势高度敏感，短期走势仍取决于相关各方博弈进展。若局势反复，欧洲等能源进口依赖度较高的经济体或面临更大的输入性通胀压力。(新华社)
