narvikk/iStock via Getty Images Shares of Vertical Aerospace ( EVTL ) are under pressure on Tuesday and dipped to a record low after the company issued a warning that it has “substantial doubt it can continue to conduct its normal business operations in the foreseeable future” without liquidating assets or restructuring its obligations. “Our limited cash and cash equivalents, recurring losses from operations, and dependency on raising additional capital indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern,” the company said in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. For 2025, Vertical Aerospace ( EVTL ) reported a net profit of £202.6M ($271.6M) for 2025, or £2.63 per share, but a loss of £0.57 per share ($0.76) on a diluted basis, missing expectations for a loss of £0.0075 ($0.01). Last year, Vertical ( EVTL ) reported a loss of £38.46 per diluted share. On its balance sheet, Vertical ( EVTL ) raised $175M in capital, ended the year with $93M in cash and cash equivalents, and anticipates approximately $23M in near-term receipts from R&D tax reliefs and another $5M in government grants and VAT. At the same time, Vertical ( EVTL ) expects to spend $195M in flight testing, certification, and manufacturing, an outflow that must be covered through either government grants, R&D tax relief, or additional funding. Operationally , Vertical ( EVTL ) is making solid progress towards its goal of achieving certification and scaling production of its electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. This includes the launch of Valo, its commercial eVTOL aircraft designed for 4-6 passengers, its battery pilot program line, and completed a third prototype to provide increased flight capacity. It also completed hover, vertical flight, and wingborne flight, including the first winged eVTOL flight in open European airspace and airport-to-airport flight at the Royal International Air ...

Tom Werner/DigitalVision via Getty Images Figma, Inc. ( FIG ) was once the hottest IPO in the market. However, excessive investor optimism combined with an overall bearish tone around software companies has pulled shares back well below the IPO level. I have closely followed Figma and its market dynamics, publishing my initial thoughts shortly after the IPO, as well as periodic quarterly updates. Maintaining a Hold rating on the stock has been the correct call and one that I have been consistent about. Seeking Alpha However, the ongoing pullback in shares has now reached a point where building a small position in the name is probably worth the risk. As discussed more below, the recent Q4 report was better than feared, and the stock actually reacted favorably post-earnings. The biggest challenge has been fighting the general negative investor sentiment across software companies - something that is not just FIG-specific. Data by YCharts Figma has quickly turned into a multi-product company with improving metrics. From a fundamental and operational standpoint, I believe there are many qualities investors should like. Of course, the story is not perfect, and the company continues to deal with some post-IPO mess. However, growth metrics have been strong, sentiment is negative, and valuation is cheap. In my opinion, this marks a potentially great entry point for someone with a contrarian viewpoint. Financial Update Figma's recent Q4 results were better than expected, with growth and guidance also coming in strong. During the quarter, revenue grew an impressive 40% YoY to $303.8 million, over $10 million above consensus estimates for ~$293.2 million. Given Figma's recent IPO status, investors will continue to look at revenue growth as the leading metric. Of course, there are several factors that go into this story, but at the heart of it, Figma is a growth company. Investors want to see growth rates beat guidance and expectations.

Legendary investor Warren Buffett took a controlling stake in Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA) (NYSE: BRKB) in 1965. It was a struggling textiles manufacturer back then, and after deciding the business was no longer viable, Buffett turned it into a holding company for his various investments. He served as the CEO of Berkshire until the end of 2025, when he stepped down and handed the reins to his chosen successor, Greg Abel. Berkshire stock delivered a compound annual return of 19.7% during Buffett's 60-year tenure, which would have been enough to turn an investment of just $500 back in 1965 into over $24.2 million at the end of 2025. The same investment in the S&P 500 would have grown to just $210,997 over the same period. Berkshire typically invests in companies with steady growth, reliable cash flows, and experienced management teams, and it aims to hold them for the long term -- which often means decades . As a result, Berkshire's portfolio managers never chase the latest stock market trends, not even those as powerful as artificial intelligence (AI). Continue reading

Apple Inc. introduced a new platform that helps businesses manage devices and reach customers, in part by making it easier to advertise on its Maps app. The offering — called Apple Business — lets users configure employee groups and device settings, the company said in a statement Tuesday . The free service will be available April 14 in more than 200 countries and regions, Apple said. “Apple Business is a significant leap forward in our decades-long commitment to helping companies of all sizes leverage the power of Apple products and services to run and grow,” Susan Prescott, vice president of enterprise and education marketing, said in the statement. The introduction is part of a push by the tech giant to generate more money from services. Though the company isn’t charging customers for Business, it’s meant to help spur spending on advertising — a growing focus for Apple. With the Maps ads, businesses will appear more prominently when Apple users search for relevant terms. The company plans to begin offering the option this summer in the US and Canada. Bloomberg News reported earlier this week that Apple was preparing to announce the Maps ads.

Photo: VCG After more than two decades of debate, China has cleared the way for a massive water-control project on Poyang Lake, the country’s largest freshwater lake and a wetland of global ecological importance. The Poyang Lake Water Conservancy Project has been added to Jiangxi province’s 2026 roster of key construction projects, according to a recent notice from the provincial Development and Reform Commission. The listing is widely seen as the long-awaited green light for a plan first floated in 2002 and repeatedly challenged by conservationists, including 15 prominent academics and scientists who once filed a formal objection warning it could undermine protection efforts.

QatarEnergy on Tuesday declared force majeure on some of its long-term LNG supply contracts, with counterparties including customers in Italy, Belgium, South Korea, and China, after Iranian attacks knocked out 17% of Qatar's LNG export capacity, threatening supplies to Europe and Asia. "U.S. LNG exporters should benefit from the tighter macro, as well as increased diversification," Jefferies analyst Emma Schwartz said in a note, adding "Cheniere's ability to capitalize on the tightness despite low spot exposure, and VG's higher spot exposure is short-term advantageous." Meanwhile, U.S. natural gas futures wobbled between modest gains and losses Tuesday, as traders factored another bearish weather forecast against rising oil prices; front-month Nymex ( NG1:COM ) natural gas for April delivery recently traded up 0.8% to $2.914/MMBtu.

The probability of the ' Clarity Act ' passing this year has jumped to ~68%, rising 3% in just one day on Polymarket, as the stablecoin yield deal debate nears its final stage. Even the Kalshi prediction market isn’t far behind, forecasting a ~64% chance the crypto law clears before August. Kalshi Prediction Market (Website) Let’s uncover what happened—and whether stablecoins should be allowed to offer interest (yield) or not. Recently, Jamie Dimon said if stablecoin companies offer yield, they should be treated like banks and follow the same rules, including capital, liquidity, and compliance standards. However, crypto firms argue, saying digital assets operate differently; strict rules will limit the innovations and reduce returns. According to Eleanor Terrett ’s latest reports, the lawmakers would ban stablecoins from offering interest, directly or indirectly. Although companies can still reward users through loyalty or activity-based rewards, as long as these aren’t economically equivalent to interest. Eleanor Terrett stablecoin yield deal (Twitter) Now, after weeks of failed meetings, discussions, surfaced reports, and deadlocks, a compromise is emerging. "The lawmakers and industry leaders are set to meet in Washington this week to discuss stablecoin yield rules, including Senators Cynthia Lummis, Thom Tillis, and Angela Alsobrooks." Its impact on the crypto market will be significant. Currently Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) is facing short-term pressure while failing to stay above $72K with a dropping RSI near ~40. This structure can flip if the regulatory and yield moves happen. BTC could aim past ~$78K, breaking ~$72K resistance. In conclusion, the Clarity Act chances are rising, and the final decision on stablecoin yields is expected to be out soon. A favorable outcome can flip BTC while starting a rally among major altcoins like Ethereum ( ETH-USD ), XRP ( XRP-USD ), and Solana ( SOL-USD ).

Douglas Rissing/iStock via Getty Images Mona Mahajan, Edward Jones’ head of investment strategy, believes the broadening of market leadership will continue despite recent geopolitical uncertainty stemming from the Iran conflict, characterizing the current market volatility as a “corrective phase” rather than a severe downturn. In an interview with CNBC, Mahajan expressed cautious optimism about recent de-escalation efforts, noting that while “we’re not at the end, but could we be at the beginning of the end? That is a potential.” Mahajan emphasized that the underlying economic fundamentals remain solid, with expectations of approximately 2.5% economic growth and continued positive earnings growth heading into the year. She acknowledged that the oil shock puts upward pressure on inflation and could weigh on consumers and corporations but maintained that these headwinds do not signal a more significant market decline. “Usually if a correction is going to become something worse, you need to see a recession on the horizon or you need to see the Fed raising rates. We don’t see either of those happening for now,” she explained. On inflation, Mahajan noted that while the oil shock could push headline inflation to 3% or higher in the near term, the Federal Reserve is unlikely to respond with rate hikes. “This is a supply shock and not a demand shock,” she said, adding that services inflation, which comprises two-thirds of the inflation basket, continues to moderate over time. For investors looking to position their portfolios, Mahajan recommended diversification across market capitalization, favoring both large-cap and mid-cap stocks, as well as geographic diversification between the U.S. and emerging markets. “We still like parts of tech and AI, but we want to balance that. We like sectors like industrials ( XLI ) and, over time, consumer discretionary ( XLY ) as well,” she noted, emphasizing that the AI story remains a secular theme supporting U.S. markets. Regarding the ...
