However, fresh competition in car financing – while better than another bruising discount war – may not be enough to shore up deliveries as consumers refrain from buying cars due to reduced government incentives. “All EV makers are facing a dilemma this year as rising raw-material costs eat into their profit margin, which prevents them from offering steep price cuts even though overall market demand has turned weak,” said Chen Jinzhu, CEO of consultancy Shanghai Mingliang Auto Service. “The new incentives show Tesla and other premium EV makers’ eagerness to lure more buyers.” Advertisement In January, Tesla China said it would charge annualised interest of 1.36 per cent on a seven-year car loan, enabling buyers to pay less than 2,000 yuan (US$288) a month to own a Shanghai-made Model 3 or Model Y after a down payment of about 80,000 yuan. It was the first time that an automotive firm in mainland China granted a seven-year loan to car buyers, the previous maximum being five years, and the rate was lower than the normal 3 per cent for consumption loans.

The U.S. stock market has been on a tear for more than three years — but the people running America's biggest companies are suddenly selling into the strength at a pace not seen since the last major market peak.

The U.S. stock market has been on a tear for more than three years — but the people running America's biggest companies are suddenly selling into the strength at a pace not seen since the last major market peak. Corporate insider selling has surged to its highest sell‑to‑buy ratio in five years, according to data cited by Maverick Equity Research. In an X.com post, the firm warned that "U.S. Corporate Insiders like & love the current high valuations as they are quite selling: highest Selling/Buying ratio in 5 years… 2021 crazy valuations time, they were quite smart and sold nicely before the 2022 bear market."

The timing is hard to ignore. Since late 2022, the U.S. stock market has been powered by a blistering AI‑driven rally. The S&P 500 rose 23.3% in 2024, another 16% in 2025, and added 1.4% in just the first month of 2026, pushing the index above 7,000 for the first time ever. The gains have been so relentless that many investors have stopped asking whether the rally is sustainable — but insiders appear to be asking exactly that. Big Players Signal Caution And they're not the only ones flashing caution. Over recent months, several major institutions and analysts have issued warnings about the risks building beneath the surface of the market. The IMF cautioned last quarter that "sky‑high stock valuations are increasing the risk of disorderly corrections", noting that U.S. equities — especially AI‑linked names — are trading well above fundamental levels. A January 2026 market outlook from Fidelity International highlighted that elevated valuations and index concentration have already prompted profit‑taking and increased volatility across sectors.

Insurers, in turn, must balance prevention and preparedness with long-term risk management. This context requires a different approach to product design, health partnerships, customer engagement and education programmes, she said. Longer lives bring new challenges for individuals and institutions alike, she said. People are required to plan for extended retirements, manage health risks over a longer horizon and consider how purpose and independence can be sustained in later years. Karen Leggett, Manulife’s global chief marketing officer, said the Institute formalises work that has been developing across the group over time. She said: “Empowering health, wealth and longevity is a core part of Manulife’s ambition. It reflects our values and our commitment to the communities where we operate.” Research focuses on evidence-based insight into healthy ageing and financial readiness, advocacy promotes awareness of health and long-term planning, and community partnerships support practical programmes in local markets, including Hong Kong. The initiative is a response to global trends. People are living longer, yet some may spend many of those added years facing health challenges or financial uncertainty. Manulife believes this is the moment to address that gap in a more structured and coordinated way. The Longevity Institute supports work across three pillars – research, advocacy and community partnerships. Manulife has launched a global Longevity Institute with a C$350mn (HK$1.96bn) commitment through 2030, sharpening its focus on how people live longer lives with better health and financial resilience. [The content of this article has been produced by our advertising partner.] Global thinking, local application Advertisement Although the Longevity Institute operates globally, Leggett said its relevance depends on how insight is applied locally. Patterns of ageing, health systems and family expectations vary from one region to the next, limiting the effectiveness of a sing...

Today, Apple TV announced that its new psychological horror thriller “Cape Fear” will make its global debut on Friday, June 5, 2026 with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Friday through July 31, 2026. The highly anticipated 10-episode limited series is created, showrun and executive produced by Nick Antosca, with Academy Award winners Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg serving as executive producers. Academy Award winner Javier Bardem stars alongside Academy Award nominee Amy Adams, who also executive produces. Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Patrick Wilson, CCH Pounder, Joe Anders, Lily Collias, Jamie Hector, Malia Pyles and Anna Baryshnikov round out the ensemble cast. “Cape Fear” is inspired by the 1991 remake directed by Scorsese and produced by Spielberg. A storm is coming for happily married attorneys Anna (Adams) and Tom Bowden (Wilson) when Max Cady (Bardem), the notorious killer they are responsible for putting behind bars, is let out of prison — and he wants vengeance. Hailing from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Amblin Television, “Cape Fear” is based on both the novel “The Executioners,” which inspired Gregory Peck’s Universal Pictures feature in 1962 of the same name, as well as the acclaimed 1991 remake directed by Scorsese. The series is executive produced by Spielberg, who produced the 1991 film, alongside Scorsese. Creator Antosca showruns and produces alongside Alex Hedlund for Eat The Cat; and Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey produce alongside Spielberg for Amblin Television. Academy Award nominee Morten Tyldum will direct the pilot and serve as executive producer. The series is developed and produced through Antosca’s overall deal at UCP, where he’s been based since 2017. Apple TV offers premium, compelling drama and comedy series, feature films, groundbreaking documentaries, and kids and family entertainment, and is available to watch across all of a user’s favorite screens. After its launch on November 1, 2019,...

We came across a bullish thesis on JD.com, Inc. on r/valueinvesting by Jordosreddit. In this article, we will summarize the bulls’ thesis on JD. JD.com, Inc.'s share was trading at $29.23 as of January 28th. JD’s trailing and forward P/E were 9.56 and 10.67 respectively according to Yahoo Finance. CoreWeave (CRWV) Climbs 22.6% on 'Buy' From Citigroup Suwin/Shutterstock.com JD.com, Inc. operates as a supply chain-based technology and service provider in the People's Republic of China. JD may be one of the most undervalued quality plays in China today. Unlike many Chinese tech peers, JD operates a fully owned logistics network—including warehouses, trucks, couriers, and drones—giving it control over delivery speed, quality, and customer experience, much like Amazon but with a stronger domestic infrastructure. The company recently announced it expects to exceed its annual profit forecast, yet the market continues to price it like a struggling retailer, creating a notable disconnect between fundamentals and valuation. Adding to its growth potential, JD is reportedly pursuing the acquisition of Ceconomy, the European electronics retailer behind MediaMarkt and Saturn, which would provide JD with a meaningful foothold in Europe and diversify revenue beyond China. Financially, JD is attractively priced, trading at a forward P/E just above 10 while continuing to grow earnings and generate robust free cash flow. The company maintains a strong balance sheet, has been actively buying back shares, and its logistics arm alone could arguably be worth more than the current market capitalization. While exposure to China carries inherent risks—regulatory, political, and sentiment-driven—the combination of an expanding profit outlook, operational excellence, and potential European expansion positions JD as a highly asymmetric risk-reward opportunity. For long-term investors, the current pricing appears disconnected from the company’s quality and growth potential, presenting a compelli...
