Elon Musk has suggested timing a possible initial public offering of SpaceX to coincide with a planetary phenomenon and his birthday in June, the Financial Times reported. The owner of the rocket maker is considering timing the offering to coincide with when Jupiter and Venus appear very close together, the FT reported, citing five people familiar with the matter. That suggests a date in the middle of June, the same month the billionaire turns 55. The logic behind such a choice would be surreal for most companies, but Musk has a long-held record of leaning into symbolism, and jokes with even the most serious business decisions. To be clear, the timing of IPOs is typically driven by investor appetite, market conditions and company readiness. The owner of Telsa tweeted about taking Tesla private at $420 a share, widely interpreted as a reference to April 20, a day of celebration for cannabis smokers. Musk’s decision to rename Twitter to X is also seen as a nod to his early payments startup X.com, a name that was lost when it merged with PayPal. SpaceX is looking to raise as much as $50 billion in the offering at a valuation of about $1.5 trillion, the FT reported, which would make it the largest IPO in history. SpaceX did not respond to the FT’s request for comment. SpaceX didn’t immediately reply to Bloomberg’s request for comment.

Morgan Stanley believes that Johnson and Johnson has stronger earnings potential driven by its robust product cycle. The bank upgraded the pharmaceutical stock to an overweight rating from equal weight and lifted its price target to $262 from $200, signaling a gain of 17% from current levels. Analyst Terence Flynn attributed the change to higher estimates from new products at the pharma giant. "While significant further multiple expansion seems unlikely, we'd note the stock is trading at a ~3x discount to the S & P, and we do see a path to EPS driven beats from one of the most robust new product cycle offerings in Biopharma, where in aggregate we are ~20% above consensus," he wrote. JNJ 1Y mountain JNJ 1Y chart Flynn noted that this view was reinforced by a recent Therapeutics Doctor Days conference. He raised his estimate for a handful of Johnson & Johnson medications, which resulted in higher annual revenues estimates overall. The analyst added that he's also keeping a close eye on several other drugs and trials currently in the company's pipeline. "We now project 2026-2030 CAGRs for revenue/EPS of ~5.5%/12% which compares favorably to Biopharma peers and places JNJ in the 'higher growth' cohort," he wrote. "Furthermore JNJ's [loss of exclusivity] profile is in the middle of the group, but the company's new product cycle offering nearly fills the hole (we project 2026/2031/2035 sales of $100bn/$125bn/$117bn)." Shares of Johnson & Johnson have surged 49% over the past 12 months. The stock ticked higher after the upgrade. Most analysts covering the stock are bullish, with 15 of 28 giving it a buy or strong buy rating, per LSEG.

As the U.S. bids adieu to the World Health Organization, California says hello toggle caption Krisztian Bocsi/Bloomberg/via Getty Images At 5 a.m. California time, when it is still dark outside, a member of the state's Department of Public Health gets on a weekly call. The topic? Health emergencies all over the world. For years, the U.S. federal government participated in these calls, which are organized by the World Health Organization. Now — as the Trump Administration says it has withdrawn from WHO over its handling of COVID, among other things — California is stepping in. It is the first state to join WHO's Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network, also known as GOARN. Dr. Erica Pan, director of the California Department of Public Health, says she's been in touch with other states hoping to follow suit. Illinois , in a press release, said it's "making preparations" to join. Sponsor Message "The Trump administration's withdrawal from WHO is a reckless decision that will hurt all Californians and Americans," said California Governor Gavin Newsom in a statement. "California will not bear witness to the chaos this decision will bring." This move by states to take things into their own hands is part of a broader trend, according to Dr. Gavin Yamey , a professor of global health and public policy at Duke University. "I think this is a very smart and savvy play," says Yamey. "The federal government has reneged on its public health protection responsibilities, and you're seeing states taking steps so they still are part of the international response to outbreaks and emerging threats." Not quite a member but still a participant That doesn't mean California, for example, could become a full-fledged WHO member. Many forums and meetings hosted by WHO are limited to member states — meaning national governments. But some parts of WHO, like GOARN, are open to a broader array of groups, including non-profit and multinational organizations, academic centers and different levels ...

The agreement includes an option to purchase up to an additional 20 widebody aircraft. Deliveries of the aircraft will begin in 2029. The A330-900 aircraft will be powered by the Trent 7000 engine, and the A350-900 aircraft will utilize the Trent XWB-84 EP engine, both manufactured by Rolls-Royce. Notably, the aircraft order is within Delta's ( DAL ) previously announced capital expenditure and capacity targets. Delta has obtained long-term financing for a substantial portion of the purchase price of each aircraft. Delta's ( DAL ) widebody fleet will have grown to 55 A330neos and 79 A350s following the deliveries. "As we grow our international footprint and prepare our fleet to serve expanded long-haul markets, these aircraft will enhance our capabilities and elevate our premium offerings," stated Delta ( DAL ) CEO Ed Bastian. "We value our long-standing partnership with Airbus, and with these widebody aircraft we will see additional operational efficiencies and long-term cost benefits in the years to come," he added. Bastian said Delta's ( DAL ) renewed confidence in both the A330neo and the A350 is a testament to the enduring partnership and the excellence of the Airbus widebody family performance.

Reuters Jan. 28, 2026, 6:46 a.m. ET Jan 28 (Reuters) - Amazon said on Wednesday it was cutting 16,000 jobs worldwide in the second major round of layoffs at the company in three months, as it restructures after pandemic-era over-hiring and expands the adoption of artificial intelligence tools.

Reuters Jan. 28, 2026, 6:46 a.m. ET Jan 28 (Reuters) - Amazon said on Wednesday it was cutting 16,000 jobs worldwide in the second major round of layoffs at the company in three months, as it restructures after pandemic-era over-hiring and expands the adoption of artificial intelligence tools. Reuters first reported last week that Amazon was planning a second round of job cuts as part of a broader goal of trimming about 30,000 corporate roles, with the layoffs expected to affect workers in Amazon Web Services, retail, Prime Video and human resources departments. Amazon slashed 14,000 white-collar jobs in late October, with CEO Andy Jassy stressing the need for the company to eliminate excessive bureaucracy by trimming operational levels and reducing the number of managers. "Some of you might ask if this is the beginning of a new rhythm – where we announce broad reductions every few months. That's not our plan," said Beth Galetti, senior vice president of people experience and technology at Amazon. RISING AI ADOPTION The job cuts also underscore how artificial intelligence is changing corporate workforce dynamics. Significant improvements in AI assistants are helping enterprises execute duties from routine administrative tasks to complex coding problems with rapid speed and precision, driving widespread adoption. Jassy had said last summer that the increased use of AI tools would lead to more automation of duties, resulting in corporate job losses. Earlier this month, top executives at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting said while jobs would disappear, new ones would spring up, with two of them telling Reuters that AI would be used as an excuse by companies planning to cut jobs anyway. The 30,000 jobs would together represent a small portion of Amazon's 1.58 million employees, but nearly 10% of its corporate workforce. The majority of Amazon's workers are in fulfillment centers and warehouses. Tech giants, including Amazon, Facebook-parent Meta Platforms META....

Hong Kong police have arrested seven members of a fraud syndicate accused of swindling nearly 100 victims out of HK$10 million (US$1.3 million) by luring them into taking out loans under a bogus bankruptcy scheme and then charging hefty handling fees that left them even further out of pocket. The case first surfaced last year after four victims reported receiving cold calls offering help in securing low-interest loans. They were later invited to an office in Kwai Fong, which falsely claimed to be an accounting firm, where staff promoted a “personal mini-bankruptcy plan”, according to the regional anti-deception unit of New Territories South. Victims were told that by joining the scheme, they would not need to repay existing debts and would avoid normal bankruptcy restrictions, such as limits on buying property, vehicles or applying for new loans. Advertisement Once victims expressed interest, they were taken to a finance company in Tsim Sha Tsui and persuaded to borrow sums ranging from HK$38,000 to HK$170,000, at annual interest rates as high as 47 per cent. After receiving the loan funds, staff immediately took the money under the pretext of referral handling fees. Victims were then directed to a designated law firm to process the supposed bankruptcy plan, only to discover that they were actually applying for formal bankruptcy. Advertisement When the victims realised that the “mini-bankruptcy” scheme did not exist, the fraudsters could no longer be contacted.

Centrist ideas are no longer wanted in the Conservative party, Kemi Badenoch has said, arguing that one nation-type Tories or others who have qualms about her rightward direction for the party “need to get out of the way”. Making a speech in Westminster intended to set out her vision for her party after a spate of recent defections to Reform UK, the Conservative leader hit out at what she called the “tantrum” of Robert Jenrick and others. But she explicitly rejected the approach of Andy Street, the former West Midlands mayor, and Ruth Davidson, the former Scottish Tory leader, who have launched a new group within the party for what they call “politically homeless” centrist and centre-right voters. While Badenoch said she welcomed any help that could win her party an election, she said this did not involve any policies that were not based around her right-leaning ideas. “They need to recognise the agenda which I’m setting,” she said, when asked about the efforts by Street and Davidson. “I’m the leader of the Conservative party, not anyone else. And it is what I think needs to happen that they need to support. “Anybody who is trying to push an agenda that is not what I got, not the platform I stood on, is not being helpful.” Badenoch was clear on her direction, setting out a Reform-adjacent policy platform based around cutting immigration, opposition to net zero policies, slashing social security and lower taxes. “My Conservative party has moved to the right every day since I became leader,” she said in an early draft of the speech, a line Tory officials said was removed only for reasons of length. The Tories “have to be a truly Conservative party”, Badenoch said in her speech, adding she was relaxed if that meant centrists deciding to leave: “I won’t apologise to those walking away because they don’t like the new direction. We only want Conservatives.” She said: “The people who don’t agree with this direction need to get out of the way … We’re about the future, not t...

pcess609/iStock via Getty Images By Ashok Bhatia, CFA Anu Rajakumar: Artificial intelligence isn't just a stock market story anymore. It's become one of the biggest borrowers in global bond markets, with an AI-driven financing wave sweeping through credit. How sustainable is this AI debt supercycle? What happens if the trillions earmarked for data centers, chips, and power infrastructure don't deliver the returns investors are banking on? How should fixed-income investors think about the risks and opportunities of AI alongside the broader outlook for bonds in 2026? My name is Anu Rajakumar, and today I'm joined by Ashok Bhatia, Chief Investment Officer and Global Head of Neuberger Berman's Fixed Income. Together, we're going to unpack what's behind the AI debt supercycle, where we see the most compelling opportunities, and what the biggest potential missteps might be for bond investors. Ashok, welcome back to the show. Ashok Bhatia: Hi, Anu. Great to be back. Anu: Before we plunge into AI, I do want to set the scene for our listeners. We've just started a new year, Ashok. What's your outlook for fixed-income markets overall, and how are you and your team positioning portfolios for that environment? Ashok: Well, I think, just to start, maybe I'll spend a few minutes, just real quick, on macro, rates, credit, just some high-level thoughts from us. I think macro is relatively straightforward. We think the US will grow 2.5% this year, so that's up a little bit, up a couple of tenths from where 2025 likely ends up. We think the unemployment rate will continue to rise modestly. The unemployment rate in the US right now is about 4.4%. We think it'll go up to about 4.8%, so a moderate rise from here. I think, importantly, we think inflation - and this may be where we differ from consensus the most - we think inflation will be well-behaved this year. Core inflation in the US is right now around 2.5%, 2.6%, and we think that's where it will end up at the end of 2026. Importan...

Andrii Dodonov/iStock via Getty Images Thesis USA Compression ( USAC ) is expected to close out 2025 with what should amount to a neutral free cash flow position after paying its hefty distribution. This is a large accomplishment for a firm that has historically run in the red following distribution payments. I last provided an FCF analysis of the company in July of 2025. Since then, the company has slightly improved EBITDA guidance while also trimming capital expenses. However, 2026 appears to be positioned for a step change improvement in free cash flow. This improvement stems from the acquisition of J-W Power Company. The deal was struck at accretive terms that not only improve the company's FCF profile but also aid in the company's deleveraging strategy. As a result, I expect distribution growth can be a real prospect in 2026. These factors, as well as a positive outlook for natural gas compression, give me confidence in maintaining a BUY rating for the company. Previous Coverage In July, I provided an assessment of USAC's FCF profile (shown in the table below). Since then, the company has slightly improved its full-year EBITDA projections, as well as modestly trimming its CAPEX guidance. In total, after the first nine months of the year, the company appears on track to achieve my projection of a neutral FCF profile. July 21st FCF Assessment (USAC 10-Q/10-K reports) The new EBITDA guidance of $615 million at the midpoint bodes well for investors who may have been worried about the distribution coverage. The company that has consistently maintained its distribution rate for nearly 10 years now also has balanced its budget to ensure this payment is financially secure for its unit holders. Data by YCharts More importantly, this neutral position should allow the firm to stabilize its debt position. As shown below, the company's debt position has stabilized in recent years as the company's earnings have come more in line with the large distribution. Data by YCharts C...

Welcome to India Edition, Bloomberg’s daily dive into what’s moving the worlds of business, markets and politics in this dynamic, fast-paced economy. I’m Shruti Srivastava , Bloomberg’s India Economy and Trade Reporter in New Delhi, filling in for Menaka. If you didn’t receive this directly in your inbox, you can subscribe here , and share feedback with us here . Today we look at the leadership vacuum in the India’s most industrialized state, and the finer points of the trade deal with the European Union. Ajit Pawar, the 66-year-old deputy chief minister of Maharashtra, and four others were killed Wednesday morning when their aircraft crash-landed in Baramati. I spoke to my colleague and Bloomberg’s South Asia Political Reporter in New Delhi, Swati Gupta, to get a sense of the political fallout. This is what she told me: Pawar’s death is expected to unsettle his Nationalist Congress Party, strain the state’s Bharatiya Janata Party-led coalition government, and add to the broader political uncertainty in Maharashtra. Outspoken and ambitious, Pawar broke away from his uncle Sharad Pawar’s party in 2023, and along with some loyalists, joined forces with the BJP. He won a legal battle to retain the name and symbol of the party that his uncle had founded almost three decades ago — a move that split both the party and the Pawar family. Political observers see his death reigniting a battle for the NCP’s identity, a play for its four members in the parliament, and for the 40 state legislators in the BJP-led coalition. The alliance won more than 230 out of the 288 seats in the legislative assembly in 2024, and can comfortably maintain control of the state, with or without the NCP’s support. The incident, however, has left the leadership of one of India’s most consequential regional parties in flux — in a state that contributes more than 10% of the country’s GDP. Next up in this edition, the stories you need to read, watch or listen to from us today. Best of Bloomberg Across ...

It has struggled, but has posted solid numbers recently. 10 stocks we like better than Chewy › There are multiple reasons you might want to invest in shares of Chewy (NYSE: CHWY) stock. A key one, to me, is its valuation. Its recent forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 24 is well below its five-year average of 73, and the recent price-to-sales ratio of 1.1 is well below the stock's five-year average of 1.4. The stock has not been a phenomenal performer lately, though, with its shares averaging annual losses of 21% over the past five years. Thus, you should be quite confident that it will be growing before you devote your hard-earned dollars to it. Let's take a closer look at why you might -- or might not -- want to invest in Chewy. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Chewy is primarily an e-commerce business, specializing in products and services for pets. When you think e-commerce, you probably think of Amazon.com, and Amazon has indeed been a rival for a long time, as has Walmart. But they have not killed off Chewy -- whose revenue has been growing -- at a slow but steady pace. One growth driver has been its autoship service, permitting customers to set up subscriptions for items such as dog food or cat litter. These give Chewy more dependable revenue. Chewy is also expanding into pet insurance, veterinary telehealth, and pet prescriptions. Chewy's third-quarter earnings report featured: Revenue up 8.3% year over year, and increased earnings, too. Increased net and gross profit margins. Autoship revenue growing by 5% and making up about 84% of total sales. Another plus for Chewy is customer loyalty. There are many stories of customers being bowled over when the company sent condolence cards for pets that passed away, or offered other acts...
