Amazon.com Inc. ’s $11.6 billion deal to buy Globalstar Inc. ramps up competition with Elon Musk ’s Starlink in satellite communications, a market predicted to double to $200 billion in the coming years. On Tuesday, Amazon announced plans to buy the satellite operator for a mix of stock and up to $90 a share and said that in 2028 it will launch a direct-to-device service, offering connectivity straight to people’s mobile devices as an alternative to traditional cell towers. Through Globalstar, Amazon will gain radio frequency licenses that are key to the company advancing its satellite-to-mobile services. The e-commerce giant has been trying for years to break into satellite services to gain new sources of growth beyond its enormous retail and cloud-computing businesses. But its efforts have been hampered by delays from rocket builders and a slow start to its manufacturing operations. Meanwhile, Musk’s Starlink, a division of SpaceX, has sprinted ahead with a network of 10,000 satellites in orbit serving 10 million people and developing a reputation for reliable internet service in hard-to-reach areas. With the acquisition, “customers can expect faster, more reliable service in more places — keeping them connected to the people and things that matter most,” said Panos Panay , senior vice president of devices and services at Amazon, in a statement announcing the deal. Amazon is offering Globalstar shareholders either $90 in cash per share, or 0.32 shares of Amazon stock with a value capped at $90 a share, according to the statement. That represents a nearly 117% premium over Globalstar’s price from late October, before Bloomberg reported that the company was exploring a potential sale. Globalstar shareholders will get a chance to choose whether they want to receive a mix of cash and Amazon stock. The cash amount will be prorated depending on how many shareholders elect to be paid that way, with no one getting more than 40% cash. The acquisition, Amazon’s second large...

Robert Way With advertising revenue seen offsetting soft electronics sales, JD.com ( JD ) is expected to report positive Q1 results on May 14, with revenue forecasted to grow 3% and operating margin to expand by 30 basis points. This led Macquarie analysts Ellie Jiang and Jason Zhang to upgrade JD.com ( JD ) to Outperform from Neutral and set a $35 price target, which assumes 20% upside from Monday’s closing price. The upgrade drove shares higher, leaving JD.com ( JD ) 8% higher at Tuesday’s close and above its 200-day moving average for the first time since October. “We expect [JD Retail] to be largely on track, with the high base effect from the trade-in policies dragging on electronics’ sales, offset by faster-growing advertising revenue as [JD Retail] expands into more third-party categories,” Jiang and Zhang wrote in their note to clients. Wall Street analysts expect JD.com ( JD ) to have earned an adjusted profit of $0.50 per share on $45.56B in revenue in the first quarter. JD.com ( JD ) is viewed as a Strong Buy among Wall Street analysts, while Seeking Alpha authors and Seeking Alpha’s Quant rating view the stock as a Buy with a Quant score of 3.77 out of 5.

zorazhuang/iStock via Getty Images Williams ( WMB ) marked the official start of construction Tuesday on the Northeast Supply Enhancement project pipeline, which will move natural gas supply from Pennsylvania through New Jersey via a 25-mile underwater extension of the 10K-mile transcontinental system. The pipeline will deliver ~400K dth/day of natural gas, roughly equivalent to the daily needs of 2.3M homes, from Pennsylvania to New York City and Long Island, and is expected to go into operation by the end of 2027. The project had appeared dead in 2024 after failing to receive the necessary state permits, but it was able to obtain the permits last November to move forward with its project, with the strong backing of the Trump administration. Williams ( WMB ) CEO Chad Zamarin told Bloomberg in an interview that governors of New England states have expressed support for the Constitution natural gas pipeline project. "We've met with all of the New England governors, we've met with all of the utilities, and there's strong interest in the project," Zamarin said, adding the company has filed paperwork for the pipeline with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission "as of today."

Chinese Firm Claims It Tracked US Jets Over Iran During Operation Epic Fury Authored by Ameya Paleja via Interesting Engineering , MizarVision, a private Chinese company specializing in geospatial intelligence, claims to have tracked US aerial refueling missions of its KC-135 and KC-46 tanker aircraft during Operation Epic Fury. A report published earlier this month analyzed these activities and provided links to strike patterns witnessed in Iran. The recent strikes conducted by the US over the past month surprised many around the world, but data from transporters refueling flights provided valuable information about their locations. While bombers work to keep their location under wraps, the refueling tankers continue to broadcast their locations via Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast signals, which are publicly accessible. Researchers at MizarVision claims to have used this data to determine movements of bombers, giving them more insights on how the strikes were taking place. What bombers has the US deployed? Prior to the ceasefire announced last week, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General Dan Caine confirmed that the US has staged 62 bomber missions . These involved all three of its strategic bombers, the B-1s, B-2s and B-52s. The US Central Command had previously said that the B-1s were used to degrade Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities while the B-52s struck the command and control posts for the ballistic missiles. Media reports also confirmed that the B-2s had dropped bunker buster bombs on a target used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Now, using MizarVision’s data the US bomber strike patterns can be divided into three phases. Three phases of Epic Fury The report published shows US tanker operations in the initial phase, which took place between March 1 to March 5. Although intelligence was limited in these early phases, MizarVision reported a suspected refueling of a B-52H over the Mediterranean. Most of the ...
