A university student who died after he was stabbed in Leicester has been named by police as 20-year-old Khaleed Oladipo. Oladipo, who was from London and studying cybersecurity at De Montfort University, died in hospital after the incident in the city centre, police said. An 18-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody. Officers said a postmortem examination found Oladipo had died as a result of a stab wound to the chest. His family described the 20-year-old as an “extremely loved son, brother, uncle, boyfriend and friend” in a statement released by Leicestershire police. “Khaleed was a good boy who loved his family. He was in his second year at university, and we were so proud of him,” they said. “One of his main passions was football and he had played since the age of four. He was an Arsenal supporter and we believe he was on his way home to watch the game later that night when he was stabbed and killed.” Oladipo’s family thanked members of the public who “stopped to try and help Khaleed” as well as the emergency services. “We are struggling to understand why anyone would do this. We know getting justice for Khaleed will not bring him back but we will make sure that he gets the justice he deserves,” the statement concluded. Police and emergency services were called just after 5pm on Tuesday after they received reports that a man had collapsed. They later received reports that the man had been stabbed. The East Midlands ambulance service took Oladipo to Leicester Royal Infirmary, where he died a short time after. In a statement yesterday, Prof Katie Normington, the vice-chancellor of DMU, said the university was “devastated”. “Our thoughts are with everyone who is affected by what has happened,” she said. “We are offering direct support to the students, staff and the family of the victim.” Officers said initial inquiries suggest Oladipo had been involved in an altercation with another man in the street, who left the scene before polic...

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior says Arsenal showed his side a lack of respect during the warm-up for the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday. Rosenior was seen angrily shouting at those from the Gunners side to stay on their half of the pitch and not encroach on Chelsea's area as the teams prepared for the game at Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal winning 1-0 to secure a 4-2 aggregate victory. "It wasn't the players," said Rosenior. "When you warm up, you have your half and the other team have their half. "I've never asked my team or coaches to encroach on the opposition's territory. In that moment, I didn't think it was right where they were operating, they were affecting our warm up. "I asked them, maybe not politely, to make sure they stay in their half. I'm not here to have mind games, it's just what I think is right and respectful. Hopefully, we respect that and other teams do too." He added: "There are certain etiquettes in football. "I don't have an issue with anyone at Arsenal Football Club. [Arsenal manager] Mikel [Arteta] is someone I've got so much respect for. It was just in that moment, I didn't think that respect was shown to my team."

The deep learning revolution has a curious blind spot: the spreadsheet. While Large Language Models (LLMs) have mastered the nuances of human prose and image generators have conquered the digital canvas, the structured, relational data that underpins the global economy — the rows and columns of ERP systems, CRMs, and financial ledgers — has so far been treated as just another file format similar to text or PDFs. That's left enterprises to forecast business outcomes using the typical bespoke, labor-intensive data science process of manual feature engineering and classic machine learning algorithms that predate modern deep learning. But now Fundamental , a San Francisco-based AI firm co-founded by DeepMind alumni, is launching today with $255 million in total funding to bridge this gap . Emerging from stealth, the company is debuting NEXUS, a Large Tabular Model (LTM) designed to treat business data not as a simple sequence of words, but as a complex web of non-linear relationships. The tech: moving beyond sequential logic Most current AI models are built on sequential logic — predicting the next word in a sentence or the next pixel in a frame. However, enterprise data is inherently non-sequential. A customer’s churn risk isn't just a timeline; it's a multi-dimensional intersection of transaction frequency, support ticket sentiment, and regional economic shifts. Existing LLMs struggle with this because they are poorly suited to the size and dimensionality constraints of enterprise-scale tables. "The most valuable data in the world lives in tables and until now there has been no good foundation model built specifically to understand it," said Jeremy Fraenkel, CEO and Co-founder of Fundamental. In a recent interview with VentureBeat, Fraenkel emphasized that while the AI world is obsessed with text, audio, and video, tables remain the largest modality for enterprises. "LLMs really cannot handle this type of data very well," he explained, "and enterprises currently rely ...

peshkov This year will be Apple’s ( AAPL ) breakout year, according to Dan Ives, global head of technology research at Wedbush Securities. During an interview with CNBC, Ives projected that AI could add “$75 to $100 per share” to the company’s valuation, dismissing concerns about European regulators and pointing to Apple’s offensive positioning in the consumer AI space. He drew a comparison to Alphabet’s ( GOOGL ), ( GOOG ) strong performance last year. Jeff Kilburg, founder, CEO, and CIO of KKM Financial, noted that investors have been rotating out of previous winners like Nvidia ( NVDA ) and Meta ( META ) into laggards like Apple ( AAPL ) and Alphabet ( GOOGL ), ( GOOG ), which presented buying opportunities during the lows of the tariff announcements in April. Kilburg expressed particular enthusiasm for Alphabet’s ( GOOGL ), ( GOOG ) momentum, noting the company surpassed $400B in revenue for the first time. He highlighted the efficiency gains in Google’s Gemini platform, which now processes 10B tokens per minute while serving costs have dropped 78% in one year. “I get giddy about Google,” Kilburg said, describing the company as “the tip of the spear moving forward.” Despite what Ives called a “software apocalypse” with massive selloffs across the sector, both analysts see opportunity in the carnage. Ives characterized the current moment as a “table pounder” time to buy oversold names like Salesforce ( CRM ), CrowdStrike ( CRWD ), Microsoft ( MSFT ), Oracle ( ORCL ), and ServiceNow ( NOW ). “We’re going to look back at this moment as a table pounder time to own the names that I think have just really been massively sold off,” Ives said. The analysts also addressed the volatility in cryptocurrency markets, with Kilburg identifying MicroStrategy ( MSTR ) as a “falling knife” after dropping 72% from its all-time highs. “Cryptocurrency overall is in a gut check moment,” Kilburg said, noting that in times of distress, crypto “becomes way over-cooler and exaggerate to ...

Melpomenem/iStock via Getty Images The U.S. Treasury yield curve has continued to steepen, with the gap between two-year and 10-year yields widening to its largest level since January 2022, according to Bloomberg data. The spread, which had been deeply negative through much of 2023 as short-dated yields rose sharply above longer maturities, has now moved decisively into positive territory. Bloomberg’s 2s10s curve shows a steady climb since mid-2024, culminating in the widest differential in more than four years. The data was posted by Bloomberg journalist Lisa Abramowicz on X. A steeper curve reflects a combination of easing pressure at the front end and relatively firmer long-term yields. The two-year note is typically more sensitive to expectations around Federal Reserve policy, while the 10-year yield is more closely tied to long-run growth and inflation outlooks. The move marks a clear reversal from the prolonged inversion that followed the Fed’s aggressive tightening cycle in 2022 and 2023. Yield curve inversions have historically been viewed as recession warning signals, though the timing and reliability of that relationship varies. Market attention recently has been dominated by developments in technology stocks and artificial intelligence-related investments. The shift in the Treasury curve suggests that fixed-income markets are sending their signal, one rooted in changing expectations for monetary policy and the economic outlook.

We recently published an article titled 12 High Growth E-commerce Stocks To Buy. Stifel analyst Mark Kelley lowered the firm’s price target on Etsy, Inc. (NYSE:ETSY) to $62 from $65 while maintaining a Hold rating on the shares on January 27. The update followed a review of third-party data suggesting the broader e-commerce group delivered a healthy fourth quarter overall, though the analyst flagged the potential for incremental consumer pricing pressure in 2026 based on recent commentary from Amazon. These dynamics informed Stifel’s more cautious near-term outlook, even as sector demand trends remain broadly intact. During its third quarter 2025 earnings conference call, Etsy, Inc. (NYSE:ETSY) also outlined a notable leadership transition. Founder Josh Silverman announced plans to step into the role of Executive Chair, with Kruti Patel Goyal assuming the CEO position effective January 1. The Board of Directors expressed full support for the transition, which is intended to provide continuity while positioning the company for its next phase of operational execution and strategic focus. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, Etsy, Inc. (NYSE:ETSY) operates a differentiated e-commerce marketplace centered on handmade, vintage, and unique goods. The platform spans categories including jewelry, apparel, home décor, furniture, toys, and art, catering to a global community of creators and buyers. The stock has an average revenue growth of over 27% in the past 5 years.

In this article QCOM Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon delivers a keynote speech at Computex in Taipei, Taiwan May 19, 2025. Ann Wang | Reuters Qualcomm shares plunged 10% after the chipmaker issued disappointing guidance as skyrocketing demand for artificial intelligence data centers eats away at memory chip supply for consumer electronics. On an earnings call with analysts, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said the weakness was "100% related to memory." The availability of dynamic random access memory, commonly used in smartphones, computers and wearable tech, was down from a year ago. He said handset demand remains strong, but memory supply is down as more resources go toward high-bandwidth memory used in data centers. "I think the market is going to be sized by that," Amon said. "Our customers are adjusting, I think, their build production to the memory they have available." Stock Chart Icon Stock chart icon qualcomm year-to-date stock chart. The California-based company topped fiscal first-quarter estimates, but forecasted adjusted earnings per share between $2.45 and $2.65 on revenue of $10.2 billion to $11 billion this current quarter. Analysts polled by LSEG had forecast $11.11 billion in sales and earnings of $2.89 per share. Amon said in an interview that he was unsure whether smartphone makers would hike prices, but that he expects the shortage to hamper supply. He also said the company's customers focus on higher-tier devices, making them more capable of absorbing memory price increases. Companies across the tech sector are starting to feel the pinch from the memory crunch. Arm also fell post-earnings on smartphone memory chip worries. Apple warned last week that it can't get enough chips to meet strong iPhone demand. The supply and demand imbalance is helping memory chipmakers, including Micron Technology and Samsung Electronics , and contributing to higher prices. Qualcomm said on Wednesday that it expects data cent...
