Corning NYSE: GLW reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results that management said reflected accelerating demand for its innovations—particularly in Optical Communications—and the impact of its “Springboard” plan to improve profitability and cash generation. Get Corning alerts: Sign Up Fourth-quarter and full-year results Chairman and CEO Wendell Weeks said fourth-quarter 2025 sales rose 14% year over year to $4.41 billion, while core EPS grew 26% to $0.72. Corning expanded operating margin by 170 basis points to 20.2% and increased return on invested capital (ROIC) by 150 basis points to 14.2%, achieving its Springboard operating margin target of 20% a full year ahead of plan. Weeks also noted that full-year 2025 delivered double-digit sales growth, with EPS growing “twice as fast as sales” and free cash flow growing “three times faster than sales.” CFO Ed Schlesinger provided additional detail, calling 2025 a “record year.” He said full-year sales increased 13% to $16.4 billion, core EPS rose 29% to $2.52, operating margin expanded 180 basis points to 19.3%, and free cash flow was $1.7 billion. In the fourth quarter, Corning generated free cash flow of $732 million. Springboard milestones and upgraded sales targets Weeks and Schlesinger both emphasized progress under the Springboard plan, which launched in late 2023. Weeks said that since the plan’s Q4 2023 launch point, Corning expanded operating margin by 390 basis points to 20.2%, grew EPS 85% to $0.72, and expanded ROIC by 540 basis points to about 14%. He added that full-year free cash flow nearly doubled to $1.72 billion in 2025 from $880 million in 2023. Alongside the earnings release, Corning upgraded its long-term sales ambitions. Weeks said the company is raising its internal Springboard target to add $11 billion in incremental annualized sales by the end of 2028, up from the original $8 billion. For 2026, Corning raised its internal plan to add $6.5 billion in incremental annualized sales by year...

Key Points The cost of Medicare Part B has risen substantially in 2026. That increase, coupled with higher Medicare deductibles, could burden millions of older Americans this year. If you're struggling to keep up with your Medicare costs, there may be steps you can take to improve your cash flow. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › For a lot of Americans ages 65 and over, signing up for Medicare is non-negotiable. Many people have no choice but to buy coverage through Medicare in the absence of having employer coverage -- whether that's due to retirement or another reason. This year, one major Medicare cost is a lot higher than it was last year. And it's apt to hurt retirees in more ways than one. 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 » Medicare Part B will take a bigger bite out of your retirement paycheck Most Medicare enrollees do not pay a premium for Part A, which covers hospital care. But Part B, which covers outpatient care, charges a monthly premium that's a lot higher in 2026 than it was in 2025. Last year, the standard monthly Part B premium was $185. This year, it's $202.90. That $17.90 increase hurts not just because it's substantial, but because seniors on Social Security did not receive a particularly generous cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) this year. The 2026 Social Security COLA is 2.8%, which, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA), was supposed to raise the average pre-COLA monthly benefit of $2,015 to $2,071. But that estimate was released by the SSA before Medicare's standard monthly Part B premium was announced. In light of that hike, the typical retiree on Social Security may be looking at much less of a raise, since Part B premiums are paid out of Social Security benefits directly. Finding ways to cope with higher Medicare costs It's not just that the cost of Medica...

财联社1月29日讯（编辑 赵昊） 梅赛德斯-奔驰集团CEO康林松（Ola Källenius）透露，霍华德·卢特尼克曾提议说服这家车企将总部从德国迁往美国。 康林松在接受采访时表示，2025年1月时，他在纽约与卢特尼克共进早餐——当时卢特尼克已获出任美国商务部长的提名，但次月参议院才确认了这一任命。 康林松在采访中描述了当时的情况，他向卢特尼克解释了美国拟议中的汽车关税对欧洲汽车行业的影响，试图说服美方不要征收关税。 但谈话的后半部分变成了卢特尼克的“推销”环节，他开始试图说服康林松将梅赛德斯总部迁往美国。 卢特尼克说：“在美国做生意很棒，而且还在变得越来越棒。”并解释说，美国新政府“将在各个方面改善营商环境——能源、税收、监管——在这样的条件下，梅赛德斯的目标只有一个：搬到美国。” 康林松承认，美国的商业环境总体上非常好，无论是能源、就业、税收，亦或是“速度”，例如建造工厂的速度。 值得一提的是，康林松曾多次批评德国的官僚体系和劳动力成本，并因公开提及员工病假率过高而引发工会与员工代表的不满。 然而，康林松指出，梅赛德斯迁往美国是不现实的，这不仅有政治原因，也是出于文化和传统原因。 “这颗星（指奔驰标志）已经是一家全球性公司超过100年了，但我们的根在施瓦本地区。这里既是奔驰总部所在地，也拥有多座工厂，这些根不能——也不应该——被拔出来。” 尽管康林松拒绝了这一提议，但奔驰去年5月仍宣布，将把GLC SUV的生产线从德国转移至其位于美国阿拉巴马州塔斯卡卢萨的工厂之中。 康林松在采访中说道：“我们将在美国投资，但我们不会将总部从斯图加特迁至美国。” “如果其他主要经济体提供有吸引力的条件，那么资本流向那里的可能性自然会增加。因此，欧洲和德国必须努力提升自身的竞争力，使我们的商业前景同样出色，甚至更好。” 分析认为，康林松描述的这段经历，让外界更加清楚地看到，特朗普政府在吸引欧洲企业投资方面所付出的努力。 特朗普长期批评德国对美汽车贸易顺差，并且还曾特别抱怨，在特朗普大厦周边街道上，奔驰汽车随处可见。

Shareholders of Dell Technologies Inc (Symbol: DELL) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 1.8% annualized dividend yield can sell the September 2027 covered call at the $160 strike and collect the premium based on the $15.30 bid, which annualizes to an additional 8% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the), for a total of 9.8% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $160 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but DELL shares would have to climb 36.4% from current levels for that to happen, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 49.4% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called. In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Dell Technologies Inc, looking at the dividend history chart for DELL below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 1.8% annualized dividend yield. Below is a chart showing DELL's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $160 strike highlighted in red: The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the September 2027 covered call at the $160 strike gives good reward for the risk of having given away the upside beyond $160. (Do most options expire worthless? This and six other common options myths debunked). We calculate the trailing twelve month volatility for Dell Technologies Inc (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $116.92) to be 51%.

The company continues to target a dividend payout ratio of between 55% and 65% of its adjusted earnings.

格隆汇1月29日｜伊朗外交部长阿拉奇：德黑兰始终欢迎一项公平的核协议，该协议应确保伊朗的权利并保证不发展核武器。

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images News The Federal Reserve has yet to comply with grand jury subpoenas tied to the criminal investigation of Chair Jerome Powell, CNBC reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. Federal prosecutors recently launched a criminal probe into Powell over the monetary authority's renovation of its Washington headquarters and whether Powell lied to Congress about the project’s scope during his congressional testimony last June. That testimony concerned a multi-year project to renovate historic Fed office buildings—a matter Powell characterized as merely a “pretext” for the administration’s broader campaign against central bank independence. Conducted by the office of Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, the Powell probe remains ongoing, the person told CNBC . There is no clear timeline for when the Fed must produce the records sought by the subpoenas. The Federal Reserve didn't immediately respond to Seeking Alpha's request for comment. The news comes just hours before the central bank announces its latest interest-rate decision, which is widely expected to be a pause.

World photo/iStock Editorial via Getty Images As I've covered back in October, I wasn't particularly bullish on Banco Santander, S.A. ( SAN ) as the bank’s premium valuation compared to historical values and its relatively weak earnings momentum were two major factors making me cautious. Despite that, its shares have performed quite well since then and have maintained their bull run, being up by close to 28% when including dividends since then and beating the S&P 500 Index ( SP500 ) by a wide margin during the same period. Article performance (Seeking Alpha) This strong performance is mainly justified by a higher valuation multiple rather than earnings or book value growth, as the market continues to push banking valuations upwards, supported by good capital return prospects for shareholders. Banco Santander has been no exception and is now trading at about 1.62x book value, a much higher valuation than when I last covered it (1.27x book value at the time), despite its earnings momentum being somewhat weak and its growth prospects not being particularly impressive. As shown in the next graph, Santander’s current valuation is at its peak over the last decade and has re-rated considerably in recent months, a trend that has been widespread across the European banking sector. P/BV multiple (Seeking Alpha) Despite higher valuations and positive investor sentiment toward European banks, not all banks are reporting higher earnings in recent quarters as the interest rate path has been downward in Europe since mid-2024. As Southern European banks are more exposed to rates than other European banks due to higher exposure to variable-rate loans, the earnings momentum of Banco Santander and some of its peers has not been particularly great in recent quarters, mainly due to some margin pressure in its domestic market. Indeed, the bank’s earnings on Q3 2025 were practically flat when adjusting for the hyperinflation in Argentina, not being supportive of a higher share price latel...

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer put under the microscope. Cramer showed bullish sentiment toward the stock during the episode, as he said: You know what didn’t matter at all to these bears, though? I got tremendous assurance that there could be some very big Chinese sales on the horizon. Jensen’s in China. That matters. To me, he sounded sanguine. He urged that no one take the sales for granted. I think that’s terrific. I also think that the companies that keep on announcing the reliance on their own chips, Google, Amazon, and today, Microsoft, continue to be gigantic customers of NVIDIA. And the demand away from the hyperscalers is enormous and growing.

CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWV) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer put under the microscope. Cramer highlighted NVIDIA’s investment in the company, as he commented: … NVIDIA announced that it invested another $2 billion in CoreWeave, buying 22.9 million shares at $87.20 per share. It was a fantastic verification for CoreWeave, demonstrating that it’s the preferred provider of NVIDIA chips. These are hard to procure. If you’re a big hyperscaler, you’re going to get a serious allocation. If you’re not, though, you know who to go to now. You can set up with NVIDIA by getting it through CoreWeave.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer put under the microscope. Cramer mentioned the stock during the episode and stated: Finally, on Thursday night, Apple reports, and this stock has been on an eight-week losing streak, although it managed to post a nice 3% gain today. Much of that pullback relates to the rising cost of memory chips because those are key components for iPhones and Mac computers. Apple’s now forced to choose between sacrifices of margin or raising prices and possibly hurting demand. I want to see what kinds of gross margins Apple’s able to generate and hear from management how they think that it could change in the future. I’m not optimistic on the memory issue, but we did get some positive commentary from an analyst about how memory margin problem is manageable, and that could be why the stock was up $7.37. First good day in ages, by the way. brandon-romanchuk-NOFyRmSQfUQ-unsplash Apple Inc.

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer put under the microscope. Cramer said that investors need more details on how the company’s autonomous taxis and robots are doing when it reports. The Mad Money host remarked: Tesla’s the last Mag Seven company reporting on Wednesday, and it’ll be the one I’m actually paying least attention to because this is the only Mag Seven stock that we don’t own for the Charitable Trust. At the same time, Tesla doesn’t really trade on the numbers at all. If it did, the stock would be in the gutter because the electric vehicle business is in such bad shape. Instead, Tesla trades on Elon Musk’s storytelling. He’s been pitching a fantastic narrative about self-driving taxis and robots. So we need to hear more details on how these technologies are going. At the World Economic Forum, Davos last week, Musk said he expects Tesla to start selling humanoid robots by the end of 2027. But even though he’s a brilliant businessman, he has a history of being overly optimistic about his timelines. So anything that he can say to make investors feel like that data is solid will bolster the stock. Photo by Tesla Fans Schweiz on Unsplash Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) designs and sells electric vehicles and also develops and installs solar energy and storage systems for residential, commercial, and industrial customers.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer put under the microscope. Cramer highlighted what he would like to see in the company’s earnings report, as he commented: Next up, Microsoft had the same problem when it reported on the same night as Meta in late October. All their numbers for the reported quarter looked great, but after previously saying that their CapEx growth in fiscal 2026 would be lower than it was in fiscal 2025, they basically took that back and said the opposite was now true. Oh man, did they kill their stock. CapEx growth will be higher this year than it was last year, so the stock got crushed. The other issue with Microsoft’s last quarter, they projected a slight decline in the growth rate of their Azure cloud business… Even as management explained that that was purely due to supply constraints, not a decrease in demand.

Jim Cramer on Meta: “If the Stock’s Going to Turn Around, It Needs a New Catalyst” Yahoo Finance UK

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer put under the microscope. Cramer said that the company “needs a new catalyst,” as he remarked: Why don’t we start with Meta Platforms, which saw its stock plunge 11% last time it reported in late October, and it’s now down almost 16% from its August highs. At these levels, Meta is selling for less than 23 times this year’s earnings estimates, making it look pretty darn cheap. But if the stock’s going to turn around, it needs a new catalyst. This time… I expect a great set of numbers from Meta, especially from the core advertising business. But these guys reported strong numbers last time, too, and it didn’t matter because Wall Street only cared that they raised their capital expenditure forecast to fund a massive AI data center build-out.

The former academic’s candidacy in the Gorton and Denton byelection shows the hard right has evolved. To stop it the left must change too Matt Goodwin has been selected as the Reform UK candidate in the upcoming Gorton and Denton byelection – a contest he has a very good chance of winning. I suppose I miss the days when watching the toxic right was more of a cod-psychoanalytical pastime: when you could watch the Goodwin of 2024, preaching the superiority of Hungary in openly anti-migrant terms, compare him to the Goodwin of the mid-2010s, when he was an adviser to the coalition government on tackling anti-Muslim hatred, and say, “wow, this guy’s been on a journey”. What were the waypoints of his slide from “just asking the questions”, through dog-whistle racism , to brazen ethno-nationalism? What could have been the trigger events? Which bad crowd has he fallen in with? The author James Bloodworth, who mapped Goodwin’s journey rigorously last summer, considers him the intellectual mascot of the politics of resentment. He quoted Goodwin thus: “I just spent four days in Hungary, a conservative country criticised by elites across the west. I saw no crime. No homeless people. No riots. No unrest. No drugs. No mass immigration. No broken borders. No self-loathing. No chaos. And now I’ve just landed back in the UK.” These talking points are all commonplace on the hard and far right; migration is situated as a wellspring of social ills , from crime and disunity, through drug use and housing crises, and it is stated with so much confidence, so little evidence or logic, that it’s really more of a muster point than an opinion held in good faith.

PhanuwatNandee/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis This article continues my coverage of the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF ( VYM ), a $71B product that's performed well this year relative to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF ( SPY ). Though many analysts have declared a sentiment shift that favors the smaller, more value-oriented stocks VYM holds, this article argues that this declaration is premature and that it's not yet reasonable to expect VYM to outperform SPY. However, this article also evaluates VYM against four large-cap value peers, illustrating how its balance, both at the sector and fundamental levels, is why it's historically been a consistent performer year over year. Overall, these features make VYM a solid "hold" for investors seeking a moderate ~2.50% dividend yield, and I look forward to explaining why in further detail below. I hope you enjoy the read. VYM Overview One challenge with assessing VYM is that its strategy is proprietary. An Index methodology document exists, but it offers few clues surrounding the selection process beyond the basics. These include how the selection universe for the FTSE High Dividend Yield Index is the FTSE US All Cap Index, how its membership is reviewed annually, and how REITs and non-dividend-paying securities are not eligible. VYM's cheap 0.06% expense ratio and 0.01% 30-day median bid/ask spread are other noteworthy factors, but in my opinion, they don't really help us differentiate it from the 100+ other competing funds. However, we can learn more about what the Index likely aims to accomplish by evaluating it fundamentally. To start, consider how the dividend yields of VYM's top holdings are not in descending order, with Broadcom's ( AVGO ) 0.81% dividend yield in the #1 spot and higher-yielding stocks like Chevron ( CVX ) and Philip Morris International ( PM ) in the #13 and #19 spots, respectively. Instead, the correlation between weight and market cap appears much stronger, which tells me that weight is likely a ...

Name: The potato bed. Age: About two months. Appearance: The cosiest way to achieve spinal distress. Is this sleeping on potatoes? Is it sleeping like potatoes? Neither, really. A potato bed is a hot new method of sleep that is huge on TikTok. Fine. Explain. To make a potato bed, you have to place a fitted sheet upside down on top of your bed. Got it. Now, stuff the edges with as many pillows and blankets as you like, creating a soft, thick rim. Finally, layer blankets and duvets in the empty space in the middle, and stretch a duvet over the top. Look upon your creation and tell me what you see. Allow TikTok content? This article includes content provided by TikTok .

Allow and continue It looks like what my dog sleeps in. No! It’s a potato bed! It’s a soft and cosy cocoon that you can sleep in, swaddled like a newborn against the harshness of the world. I share a bed with my spouse. Not any more you don’t. You have created peak luxury cosiness, but there’s only space for one. Tell them to sleep on the floor. This isn’t about them. Also, this seems horrifically soft and uneven. Look, if you want to be picky, an unsupported sleeping surface like this might exacerbate back pain. And some sleep experts have noted that the setup will make you far too warm to achieve a state of restorative sleep. And you definitely don’t want to make a potato bed for young children, because of the suffocation risk. But you do want to protect yourselves against the horrors of the world, right? Honestly, I just want a decent night’s sleep. Oh, I see, you’re boring. In that case you’ll need a properly supportive mattress. You might also find a dark, quiet room useful, and avoiding caffeine and electronics in the run-up to bedtime. But listen, nobody ever went viral on TikTok by being sensible. What about pillows? For the potato bed? It d...
