Chad Hugo is suing Pharrell Williams, his production partner in the Neptunes, over claims that Williams owes Hugo up to $1m from their final album as NERD, 2017’s No One Ever Really Dies. The Neptunes defined the sound of pop music in the late 90s and early 00s, producing for artists including Kelis, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Clipse and Justin Timberlake. As NERD, they released five albums. Lawyers for Hugo allege that Williams, in his own right a producer for artists including Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran and the Weeknd, has withheld royalties and shares from touring income and merchandising, and that he refused to share documents that would clarify Hugo’s earnings despite repeat demands for financial disclosure. Hugo’s lawyers say the demands were ignored or met only with “limited” and “incomplete” documentation in “a breach of the operating agreement”. They estimate that the earnings due to Hugo from No One Ever Really Dies could exceed “$750k-$1m” They claim Williams perpetuated a “systematic denial” of Hugo’s rights, alleging that he engaged in “self-dealing, concealed material information and … diverted revenues owed to plaintiff. Such wilful, fraudulent and malicious conduct warrants the imposition of punitive damages.” A representative for Williams told Billboard magazine that a standard accounting review was under way. “The lawsuit filed is premature as there may not even be a dispute between the parties. “If the accounting review determines that money is owed, the appropriate party will pay it. Pharrell has consistently acted in good faith. He has great respect for Chad and looks forward to resolving this in a way that honours their shared history.” It is the second lawsuit that Hugo has filed against Williams. In 2024, he accused him of “fraudulently” attempting to control the Neptunes name. The matter is still the subject of a federal trademark tribunal. At the time, representatives for Pharrell told Billboard that he was “surprised” by the filing. “We have...

We recently published 14 Stocks Jim Cramer Talked About. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer talked about. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) continues to be on Jim Cramer’s radar. The CNBC TV host has continued to defend the stock even though gains have stalled lately. Since early November, the shares are down by 10%. During this time period, Cramer has asserted that NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s valuation is low when compared to the firm’s intellectual property. Analysts have also continued to be optimistic about the company. RBC Capital and Wolfe Research have reiterated Outperform ratings on the stock. Some of the reasons the analysts have cited as driving their confidence include NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s strong ecosystem, AI demand, and order backlog. In his recent remarks about the firm, Cramer asserted that market watchers should have more faith in the firm’s CEO. CEO Jensen Huang’s fireside chat with Eli Lilly’s CEO has also piqued Cramer’s attention, after the pair discussed the role AI could play in extending human lifespan. In this appearance, Cramer discussed a recent blog post by OpenAI CFO, Sarah Friar: “Right and when she says compute, again I’m referencing Sarah Friar, CFO of OpenAI. Compute’s a scarce resource in AI, well compute, a lot of people read that and they think, okay, that’s accelerated computing, that’s NVIDIA, that’s Jensen Huang. And yet if you look at NVIDIA, the stock can’t get out of its way.” While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

China’s new dry dock near the South China Sea could help Beijing avoid having an aircraft carrier “gap” in the disputed waterway and pave the way for military outreach to the Indian Ocean, analysts said. According to a report by American geospatial intelligence company AllSource Analysis, satellite imagery on January 21 shows the first use of a new dry dock at Yulin Naval Base in the southern Chinese province of Hainan for the likely maintenance of Chinese Navy aircraft carriers The report said China’s second aircraft carrier, the Shandong , entered the naval base dry dock for the first time on January 20 or January 21, indicating an expansion of the dry dock’s capabilities and marking a “milestone” for the facility and People’s Liberation Army (PLA) carrier operations. Advertisement Construction of the Yulin Naval Base dry dock began in 2017 and it became operational in 2022, but it had not yet been used by aircraft carriers or vessels of similar tonnage, the AllSource report said. “Traditionally, major repairs and overhauls for Chinese aircraft carriers were confined to the Dalian Shipyard in northern China,” it said. “The ability to maintain and repair such large naval vessels in the South China Sea greatly improves the Chinese Navy’s ability to sustain carrier operations in this critical theatre.” 01:34 China’s most advanced aircraft carrier, the Fujian, enters service China’s most advanced aircraft carrier, the Fujian, enters service Dry docks are specialised basins that lift aircraft carriers out of the water for the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of submerged, inaccessible parts, such as hulls, propellers and sea chests, ensuring operational readiness and longevity. They are essential for cleaning and repainting to prevent corrosion and carry out complex overhauls.

kasinv/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Why Netflix Is Back in the Spotlight It looks like Netflix, Inc. ( NFLX ) is back in the headlines for both bulls and bears again following its earnings release. On one side, we have a business that closes 2025 with metrics that, if you look at them coldly, are blue chip. But on the other side, we have the proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. ( WBD ) for around $82.7B could introduce an extra layer of uncertainty for the market, as it is a deal that carries both execution risk and leverage risk. As of the time of writing, the company is trading around $83, and NFLX has been experiencing a drop of more than -30% over the last 6M, which leaves a current valuation around 26x 2026 P/E and a FWD FCF yield of about 2.8%. A valuation that, in my opinion, seems to suggest the market is questioning whether current valuations correctly reflect the size of the transaction and the company’s future balance sheet. On the positive side, I would say that in 2025 revenues keep moving forward at a double-digit pace, up to $45.2B (+16% YoY), with a margin close to 30%, and FCF of $10.1B. On top of that, the company’s guidance for 2026 points to growth in advertising from $1.5B up to $3B and, in general, another year of double-digit sales growth. But on the other hand, viewing hours barely grew +2% in the second half of 2025 despite the increase in subscribers, which could signal an engagement issue that caps pricing and retention if the catalog does not lift this metric, which I consider key. Strong Execution, but Viewing Hours Are the KPI That Matters It is time to start breaking down the operating performance after the latest results. And at first glance, my view is that these are good results if we look at execution, but there is a yellow warning light that turns on if we focus on one of the key KPIs for a business like NFLX. Even though the company crosses the milestone of 325M paid memberships, it is important to look at ho...
