tadamichi Stock futures inched lower Thursday premarket as investors struggled to keep pace with rapidly evolving developments amid uncertainty over the Iran-U.S. war. Here are some of Thursday's biggest stock movers: Biggest stock gainers Olaplex Holdings ( OLPX ) +48% – Shares surged after the company agreed to be acquired by Henkel AG & Co. KGaA ( HENKY ) for $2.06 per share in cash, valuing the company at approximately $1.4B. The offer represents a ~55% premium to the prior close and a ~45% premium to the 30-day VWAP. Upon closing, expected in H2 2026 pending approvals, Olaplex will operate under its existing brand but will be delisted from Nasdaq, with Advent International exiting its stake. Biggest stock losers MillerKnoll ( MLKN ) -19% – Shares plunged after the company reported Q3 results that missed expectations, with adjusted EPS of $0.43 and revenue of $926.6M, both below consensus. While orders grew 9.2% and gross margin improved slightly, adjusted operating margin declined to 5.7%. The company also issued a soft outlook for Q4, guiding EPS to $0.49–$0.55 and revenue to $955M–$995M, both below analyst estimates, weighing on investor sentiment. Super Micro Computer ( SMCI ) -3% – Shares declined after investors reacted to a proposed class-action lawsuit alleging securities fraud, claiming the company failed to disclose its exposure to China-linked sales and potential export control compliance issues. The complaint follows last week’s sharp selloff tied to U.S. charges against individuals linked to the company over alleged smuggling of AI technology involving Nvidia GPUs.

Charing Cross theatre, London Carmel Owen’s ambitious musical follows the impressionist’s regrets back to his early adventures in art and his first marriage As its title suggests, this musical about Claude Monet is full of reflections – fittingly so given the artist’s preoccupation with light. In 1916, while struggling to complete The Water Lilies with cataracts, the ageing painter (Jeff Shankley) retreats into memories of his early career. His single-minded younger self (Dean John-Wilson) may be about to change art for ever but, looking back, all Monet sees is the personal cost of his drive, particularly his mistreatment of his first wife, muse and mother of his children, Camille (Brooke Bazarian). For a man usually defined by his success, this alternative reflection is refreshing. Also bouncing back at Monet are his peers’ struggles, the artistic establishment’s dismissal of impressionism, and art’s relationship to war and women. So abundant are these reflections, in fact, that Carmel Owen’s ambitious book at times becomes a house of mirrors – enticing but with a distractingly split focus. Continue reading...

I know many well-regulated women who spend hours on social media, and others who struggle while not being online Recently I read Girls ® , a new book seeking to explore the problems posed by digital and social media to young women’s mental health. It has been praised by reviewers as “punchy” and “a starting place for young women seeking guidance”. As a young woman always open to improving myself, I rolled my sleeves up. Written by 26-year-old Freya India, it encourages young women to “look past what you’re being TOLD and see what you’re being SOLD”. Big tech, the book says, is preying on the insecurities of its users; the recent mental health crisis in young women should be chalked up to social media, the internet and our addiction to it.

If you had an hour, I could talk you through so many scenarios,” says Egil Johansen, the landlord of the Kenton pub in Hackney, east London. He sounds exhausted just remembering them. Johansen is still shaken by the three-year-old who recently toddled behind the bar and tumbled down the cellar hatch while his parents sat, oblivious, in a different part of the pub.

Henry Ford changed the face of industry forever – what kind of economic model do Musk’s methods presage?

Henry Ford changed the face of industry forever – what kind of economic model do Musk’s methods presage? Genius industrialist or clownish conman, humanity’s saviour from a rapidly crumbling planet or rabid social media troll – the verdicts on the world’s richest person vary in flavour, but most share something in common: they focus on Musk as an individual. In their study, Quinn Slobodian, a historian at Boston University, and Ben Tarnoff, a tech writer, wish to reframe the conversation. The most important question, they argue, is not “who is Musk?” but “what is Musk a symptom of?” As the title suggests, their answer is “Muskism”, the coinage a deliberate nod to Fordism, the shorthand for 20th-century capitalism built on the pairing of mass production with mass consumption. If Fordism was the last century’s operating system, Slobodian and Tarnoff contend that Muskism is this century’s. Continue reading...

Jena Lisa Jones says she backed Trump in 2024 election because of his campaign promises to release Epstein files After casting her vote for Donald Trump in 2024 in hopes that he would bring transparency around the Jeffrey Epstein case, Epstein survivor Jena Lisa Jones said in an interview this week that she now fears “we’re not going to get justice in all of this”. “I wanted my day in court,” said Jones, who has said she was abused by Epstein when she was 14 , in an interview on the Shadow Sessions podcast that aired on Thursday morning. “I didn’t get that, and we were so close to it, it really got ripped from us, and then after [Epstein] passed, everything just went into a circus show.” Continue reading...

In an honest new memoir, the musician opens up about being closeted in country, sexual assault, and finding love in his 60s On 14 June 1995, Nashville singer Ty Herndon was riding high with a No 1 single on the country charts and an album hurtling towards gold status when he was arrested on charges that could have killed his career in an instant. At 10am, he pulled into a gas station in Texas, right across the street from park well known for gay cruising and hookups. Amped by a hit of meth amphetamine, Herndon strolled into a glade where he soon met a guy he later described as “movie-star handsome”. The stranger began stroking his own crotch, then reached for Herndon’s. But when the singer unzipped his fly, the man, an undercover cop, said, “This ain’t your day, cowboy,” leading to the star’s arrest on charges from drug possession to indecent exposure. While news of the incident traveled fast – aided in no small part by the police alerting the media – Herndon’s record company swung into parallel action. They cooked up a massive PR strategy that painted the singer as victim of drug use while feeding the media a series of lies to explain away the sex. “The drugs could be forgiven,” Herndon says during a Zoom interview the other day from his Nashville home. “Being gay definitely could not.” Continue reading...

Listen and subscribe to Trillions on Apple , Spotify , iHeart and the Bloomberg Terminal. With each passing year, ETFs pull in trillions of dollars while mutual funds steadily bleed assets. And yet, mutual funds still hold more money overall. Now, a long-standing wall between the two may finally be coming down. Dimensional Fund Advisors has launched the first-ever ETF share class of an existing mutual fund, a structure made possible by the expiration of Vanguard’s once-protective patent. On this episode of Trillions , Eric Balchunas and Joel Weber speak with Joel Schneider, Dimensional’s deputy head of portfolio management for North America, and Katie Greifeld of Bloomberg News. They discuss why Dimensional volunteered to be the guinea pig, why it chose its 45-year-old US Micro Cap Portfolio (ticker: DFMC), and whether this hybrid structure could reshape how trillions of dollars are invested. Money goes where it’s treated best. That simple truth is a big reason why more and more money (trillions of dollars, in fact) flows into a powerful, low-cost tool that’s quietly transformed investing. Exchange-traded funds let you invest in everything from the stock market to gold like never before. This biweekly podcast will demystify them—and hopefully delight you in the process.

When it comes to punishments levied against Meta Platforms Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google over the years, $6 million for claims that their apps were addictive and caused a mental health crisis might not seem like much.

When it comes to punishments levied against Meta Platforms Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google over the years, $6 million for claims that their apps were addictive and caused a mental health crisis might not seem like much. The amount, which a Los Angeles jury on Wednesday ordered to be paid to a 20-year-old woman known as Kaley G.M., is a mere pittance when compared with a $5 billion fine from the Federal Trade Commission for Meta or a $3.5 billion penalty for Google from the European Union. But that would be the wrong way to look at this pivotal moment in big tech accountability. Those other penalties could be chalked up as the cost of doing business. They resulted in little change to the companies’ actual products, the defining characteristic of which is their ability to keep users hooked in order to sell advertising. But the case of Kaley G.M., and a similar case that went against Meta just a day earlier in New Mexico, may well be an inflection point. As the group Mothers Against Media Addiction pointed out in its statement celebrating the verdict, the case in Los Angeles was chosen as a bellwether: Thousands of additional cases are waiting in the wings, lawsuits filed by families and school districts and others in the blast radius of Meta and Google’s design choices as well as those made by the owners of other apps such as Snapchat and TikTok. The verdict will give even more momentum to a legal approach that has proved more effective than some previous efforts that stumbled on First Amendment grounds or ran into the notorious Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act — the protection that shields platforms from liability for third-party content. Instead, relying on tort law — the branch of civil law used by injury claims lawyers, among others — the attorneys in this case removed these questions and replaced them with a different one : What if it could be proved the very design architecture of the services was responsible for Kaley’s addiction? Features like inf...

Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is struggling to respond to Flavio Bolsonaro ’s rise in polls as tensions mount within his inner circle over how to counter the surge, adding to a string of crises denting his approval and threatening his chances in the final electoral campaign of his career. Lula has seen a double-digit lead evaporate in just four months, and Flavio, the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro , now holds a slight advantage ahead of October’s election. That has generated divisions among allies preaching patience and those who want Lula to go on the attack now, people familiar with the situation said, as the president also grapples with a slowing economy, inflationary concerns from US war in Iran, and corruption probes that are fostering anti-establishment sentiment across Brazil. The combination has returned Lula’s approval ratings to their low points from last year, before Donald Trump ’s trade war against Brazil provided a boost that turned him into an election favorite. And it has reinvigorated concerns over whether the 80-year-old Lula is capable of crafting a message tailored to a modern Brazilian voter. A massive probe into fraud allegations at Banco Master SA , a failed bank whose former CEO forged deep connections with Brazil’s political elite, is weighing on voter sentiment ahead of the election, and posing political risk to Lula even though he’s faced no allegations of wrongdoing in the case. Roughly 60% of Brazilians rate corruption as one of the country’s biggest concerns, according to LatAm Pulse, a survey conducted by AtlasIntel for Bloomberg News and released Thursday. About 40% say Lula’s allies are the most involved in the scandal, compared to 28% who say Bolsonaro’s are, even as the highest-profile politicians who’ve been directly linked to former Master owner Daniel Vorcaro are associates of the former president.
