AscentXmedia/iStock via Getty Images Introduction I rarely issue a "sell" rating, as a "hold" rating tends to be more appropriate when I decide to take money off the table. But in the case of Prysmian ( PRYMF ), I'm moving to a "sell" as the stock is trading at a mid-20s earnings multiple. And although the revenue and EBITDA continue to grow at a reasonably fast pace, the share price has more than tripled since my April 2023 article , while the total return (including dividends) approaches 300%. Seeking Alpha This article is meant as an update to previous coverage, which you can find here . For a better overview and understanding of the company’s business model, I’d like to refer you to the older articles. Yahoo Finance Prysmian has its primary listing in Italy, where it's trading on the Milan Stock Exchange with PRY as its ticker symbol. The average daily volume in Italy is approximately 1.2M shares per day . I will use the euro as the base currency throughout this article. 2025 Was a Great Year While this article will mainly focus on the company’s mid-term guidance and expectations, I wanted to take a moment to briefly discuss the recently published results for FY 2025, as these, of course, contain useful background information. As the income statement below shows, Prysmian reported total revenue of 19.7B EUR from its continuing operations but also recorded 506M EUR in other income. This is predominantly related to (non-recurring) gains on asset sales. So while this provides a nice boost to the bottom line result, keep in mind the vast majority of that 500M-plus EUR in additional income is non-recurring. Prysmian Investor Relations This, of course, also had a major impact on the operating income, which increased by more than 50% to 1.93B EUR , resulting in a pre-tax income of 1.65B EUR. After taking the corporate taxes into account as well as the 24M EUR that’s attributable to non-controlling interests, the bottom line shows a net profit of 1.27B EUR for an EPS of...

liulolo/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis With the quantum trade coming back, it was time for a reset. What looked like a structural breakdown in IonQ ( IONQ ) was, in reality, a repricing of expectations. After a sharp decline from all-time highs and muted performance since my last coverage , the overall sentiment shifted from optimism to skepticism in an incredibly short period. While the price has been repriced, the story itself didn't come to a standstill. Now, after witnessing a string of recent developments, I believe we have entered into a second phase of the quantum narrative. It's becoming less speculative and more practical, but most importantly, investable. Data by YCharts A New Phase Is Forming While in the first phase, the quantum narrative had a clear long-term component as the market was pricing in the potential impact the technology would bring to the industry. The problem was that both the timeline and the commercial path of development remained speculative. Such narratives often attract capital early on but tend to experience a repricing in most cases due to excessive expectations. I think we've reached a new stage already. The most recent developments around IonQ imply that we have entered into a new phase of the quantum investment thesis, which is more about infrastructural buildouts than pure research. As you can see, the company isn't anymore trying to showcase its milestones. Instead, it starts implementing itself into various areas of quantum stack, including computing, networking, sensing and security. As far as I know, such platforms become quite rewarding for investors as time goes by. With optionality and increasing stickiness as a result, a certain moat will inevitably develop. Data by YCharts It's All About Strategic Positioning Now Let's start by taking a close look at the most recent announcement around IonQ. I think it deserves our attention since it's about DARPA's HARQ program. The thing with DARPA is that its funding and i...

财联社4月15日讯（编辑 牛占林） 美国总统特朗普当地时间周三再次威胁要解雇美联储主席鲍威尔，并表示针对美联储总部大楼翻新项目的调查必须继续推进。 特朗普在当天接受媒体采访时表示，如果鲍威尔在继任者获得确认后仍继续担任美联储理事，他将把鲍威尔撤职。 当被问及此事时，特朗普回应道："那我就不得不解雇他，如果他不按时离开的话。我之前一直忍着没解雇他。我很想解雇他，但我不想引起争议。你懂的，我希望事情不要引发争议。" 特朗普此番言论表明，他在罢黜鲍威尔一事上态度依然强硬，毫无退让之意。 据悉，鲍威尔的主席任期将于5月15日届满，特朗普已提名前美联储理事凯文·沃什担任其继任者。美国参议院银行委员会表示，将于当地时间下周二(4月21日)举行沃什的提名确认听证会。 尽管鲍威尔的主席任期即将结束，但他作为美联储理事的任期还剩两年。虽然过去大多数美联储主席在被替换后都会离开央行，但鲍威尔在反复被问及未来计划时始终含糊其辞、未作明确表态。 鲍威尔的离职问题因美联储总部翻新调查而变得复杂。华盛顿特区联邦检察官珍妮·皮罗曾试图向鲍威尔发出传票，要求其提供有关该项目的信息，但遭到一名法官的驳回，皮罗表示将对此裁决提起上诉。 据报道，就在周二，皮罗办公室的成员在未事先通知的情况下，突击造访了美联储总部翻修工程的施工现场。此举被视为对后者调查行动的又一次升级与公然挑衅。 与此同时，北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯表示，在调查结束之前，他将阻止沃什的提名获得通过。鲍威尔则表示，按照美联储政策，他将留任主席直至继任者获得确认。 特朗普称，针对该建设项目的调查必须继续进行。"他们对那个项目所做的，可能是腐败，但更确切地说是无能，我们必须揭露这种无能。" 去年，特朗普曾试图以涉嫌抵押贷款违规为由撤换美联储理事库克，但迄今未果。美联储官员受法律保护，对其免职理由有严格限制。该案已在美国最高法院进行辩论，目前正在等待裁决。 特朗普还重申了他对降低利率的呼吁，并表示他相信沃什将会实现这一目标。

格隆汇4月15日｜英国国防大臣希利表示，无人机是乌克兰抵御俄罗斯军事行动的优先事项，英国承诺今年向乌克兰提供12万架无人机，以加强对其支持。希利在乌克兰国防联络小组会议上表示，今年的无人机援助计划将得到30亿英镑军事支持以及英国可动用的俄罗斯冻结资产的支撑。他还承诺向基辅提供数千发炮弹。希利称，无人机涵盖远程打击、攻击、侦察及海上类型，均经实战检验。尽管英国还将提供“数千枚”防空导弹，但盟友认为扩大使用更便宜、用途更广的无人机对战场取胜至关重要。德国防长皮斯托里乌斯在会议开幕词中表示，德乌已成立新合资企业生产中远程无人机，并将提供3亿欧元支持采购乌制远程无人机。北约秘书长吕特指出，乌克兰三大优先事项为：防空、无人机和远程弹药。

David Tran Adobe ( ADBE ) on Wednesday launched Firefly AI Assistant, an all-in-one creative AI studio that will let users generate results by describing their needs in natural language prompts. The AI assistant allows users to describe the outcome they want using their words as it executes the multi-step workflows across Adobe’s Creative Cloud apps and generative AI models. "This marks a fundamental shift in how creative work is done, allowing creators to direct the assistant to achieve the outcomes they want, saving time and effort while collapsing the distance between what they imagine and what they can create," the company said in its press release. The Firefly AI Assistant will be available to the public in beta mode in the coming weeks. The company will also make this new creation approach available across leading third-party AI models, including Anthropic’s Claude. “Together with Adobe, we’re exploring new ways to help creators conceptualize a project in Claude and reach straight into Adobe Firefly to execute it. That can bring about a meaningful change in how creative work gets done,” Paul Smith, chief commercial officer of Anthropic, said. The San Jose, California-based firm also expanded Firefly’s video and image editing capabilities with features such as studio-quality sound, advanced color controls, and Adobe Stock integration. It has introduced more precise image editing tools, including Precision Flow and AI Markup, and added Kling 3.0 and Kling 3.0 Omni video models to Firefly’s lineup of third-party AI engines. These new video and image editing capabilities and access to new partner models will be available for customers with a Firefly plan starting today. ADBE is +3.02% to $242.84.

After a first-quarter earnings beat, Citigroup shares are trending higher. But, the stock still has some more room to run as the bank wraps up a strategic restructuring, according to Wells Fargo analyst Mike Mayo. The analyst said the overweight-rated stock is his top pick. He raised his price target on shares in the wake of the results to $160 from $150, suggesting 24% upside from Tuesday's close. "Citi showed strong top-line double digit growth even amid its restructuring, which seems unique not only among banks but also by companies generally," Mayo said Tuesday in a note to clients. Citigroup earned $5.8 billion, or $3.06 per share, in the latest period, a marked increase from the $4.1 billion, or $1.96 per share, it earned a year earlier. Revenue rose 14% to $24.63 billion in the same period, or well above analysts' consensus estimate of $23.55 billion, LSEG data shows. The financial institution's return on tangible common equity, which is a measure of profitability, also hit 13.1%, in the first quarter. That marks its highest level since 2021 and came in well above the firm's goal of between 10% and 11% ROTCE. The strong results added to investors' perceptions that Citi's restructuring is helping its performance. Citi said about 90% of its overhaul is complete, and Mayo suspects more upside will come as it is completed. "This progress seems a key reason Citi expects lower costs for transformation, stranded costs, and severance," Mayo wrote. Strategic shift Since early 2024, Citi has had a broad plan to boost its financial results and stock. The effort included a 10% workforce reduction, affecting roughly 20,000 employees globally. It has downsized its offices in the U.S., Indonesia, the Philippines and Poland. About 3,500 technology roles were cuts in China . As it made these changes, the stock has more than doubled over the past year. C 1Y mountain Citi shares have surged more than 100% over the past year. That marks an about-face from its performance at the ...

Thoma Bravo正在退出不久之前还被定位为向更广泛软件市场扩张的一项策略。该公司目前正在逐步收缩其成长股权投资业务——该业务于2021年推出，旨在对上市及非上市的软件公司进行少数股权投资——并转而专注于其拥有控股权的核心并购方式。这一转变可能反映出该公司对其自身优势究竟如何在实践中转化为成果有了更为务实的认识。 这一决定似乎是继内部重新评估之后做出的，评估认为少数股权投资未能让Thoma Bravo以有意义的方式运用其运营策略。在没有控制权的情况下，该公司影响投资组合公司战略或执行的能力有限，这可能削弱了其相较于传统并购模式的优势。这家管理着约1830亿美元资产的公司预计将在投完与该平台相关的剩余资本后逐步结束这一策略，其先前的投资包括HubSync和Alation Inc．等公司。 这一时机也与软件行业不断变化的背景相契合，人工智能正开始重塑人们对长期需求的预期。Anthropic近期发布的产品，包括旨在实现法律、数据服务和金融研究等行业任务自动化的工具，引发了人们对软件生态系统中某些领域可能面临压力的担忧。这已导致投资者质疑投资组合的持久性，Vista Equity Partners和Thoma Bravo等公司正在与利益相关者进行沟通以安抚他们，而Thoma Bravo重新聚焦并购的举措则表明其采取了更为谨慎的定位。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. asked a UK court to name administrators over the estate of British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch , who died after his luxury yacht sank off the coast of Sicily in 2024, as the technology firm seeks to recoup about $1.2 billion. The late tycoon’s estate should be administered on the basis that it is “insolvent,” HPE’s lawyers said Wednesday. The estate owes the huge damages award after a London judge ruled that Lynch inflated the value of his Autonomy Corp. when he sold the software firm to Hewlett Packard in 2011 for $11 billion. Lynch’s net worth was between $400 and $450 million, HPE said, citing his submissions to a US court. Lynch’s widow, Angela Bacares , who was rescued when the yacht sank in severe weather, opposed the appointment of HPE’s preferred administrators. “Stress and distress” will be caused in dealing with administrators unfamiliar with the estate, lawyers for Bacares said in court documents. Bacares expects Jeremy Sandelson, a lawyer who represents the estate in the claim, to continue to attempt to appeal the UK court ruling, her attorneys said. “It appears to be common ground that someone has to act to manage and preserve the estate’s assets. The question is who should do that,” HPE’s lawyers said. While Lynch was acquitted of US criminal charges in the dispute, he was held responsible for HPE’s losses in the civil trial in the UK. The judge said Lynch had created the illusion of a company larger and more successful than it really was. HPE’s Chief Executive Officer Antonio Neri previously said it was the company’s “ fiduciary duty ” to pursue damages against the estate of Lynch. Lynch’s family spokesperson declined to comment. HPE had previously estimated that the estate owed $1.8 billion in damages and interest before the judge cut the award to $1.2 billion last month. “HPE welcomes this hearing which brings us another step closer to resolution of the dispute,” a company spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

财联社4月15日讯（编辑 夏军雄） 微软公司已同意租赁挪威一处数据中心的运算能力，该数据中心最初是为人工智能（AI）公司OpenAI规划的，并且作为“星际之门”（Stargate）项目的一部分宣传。 云基础设施提供商Nscale在声明中表示，微软将在挪威纳尔维克（位于北极圈内）的一个园区内，从Nscale处额外租用3万枚英伟达VeraRubin芯片。微软此前曾针对该园区承诺投资62亿美元，最新举措是在此基础上的拓展。 去年9月，微软、Nscale和Aker达成五年期协议，将在纳尔维克建设下一代AI基础设施，协议价值可达62亿美元。 据知情人士透露，OpenAI最初曾就该园区的算力资源进行谈判，但最终未能与Nscale达成协议。OpenAI曾在去年将该项目称为“挪威星际之门”（Stargate Norway）。 OpenAI是美国“星际之门”项目的主要参与者之一。该项目计划投资1000亿美元用于建设AI计算服务器，投资金额将在四年内扩大至5000亿美元。 上周，OpenAI表示将暂停其在英国推进的类似“星际之门”项目（同样由Nscale开发），理由是当地能源成本高昂且监管环境较为严格。 Nscale也为其位于伦敦西部的另一处数据中心找到了新客户：谷歌。据一位知情人士透露，谷歌将租用该设施的算力资源，该数据中心采用英伟达Grace Blackwell芯片。 OpenAI暂停英国项目，以及未能与Nscale在挪威达成协议，表明该公司在资本支出上采取更为谨慎的策略。 今年2月，OpenAI向投资者表示，到2030年其基础设施支出将约为6000亿美元。这一数字相较于其此前所暗示的、高达1.4万亿美元的长期投资承诺而言，显得更为具体且务实。 OpenAI发言人周二表示，公司仍在探索在挪威获取算力的可能性，并正与多家合作伙伴推进基础设施建设。该发言人随后补充称，OpenAI未来将通过微软的Azure云服务获取挪威的算力资源。 去年10月，OpenAI承诺将在微软云平台上投入2500亿美元。 随着对算力需求的快速增长，微软正加快数据中心布局，并与包括Nscale在内的“新云”（neocloud）供应商达成多项合作。 上个月，微软还宣布接手了得州一个原本由OpenAI与甲骨文开发的数据中心项目。 尽管凭借与OpenAI的合作在AI浪潮中占据先机，微软近期仍面临云服务算力不足的问题。华...

Good Riddance, Pattern Day Trade Rule Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance The Pattern Day Trader rule was one of those regulations that managed to sound official, responsible, and protective while being, in practice, deeply confusing and almost comically out of touch with how people actually learn to trade. And now, it looks like it’s finally on its way out the exit. Crypto News wrote today: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday approved FINRA’s proposed rule change eliminating the Pattern Day Trader designation, the $25,000 minimum equity requirement, and all related day-trading buying power provisions under FINRA Rule 4210. The accelerated approval removes longstanding restrictions that have governed retail day trading for decades. The SEC simultaneously approved new intraday margin standards requiring broker-dealers to monitor and address real-time risk exposure in customer margin accounts. The regulatory shift represents a substantial change to day-trading accessibility and compliance frameworks for retail investors in U.S. equity markets. At its core, the PDT rule, at one point designed to save people from themselves, declared that if you made four or more day trades within a rolling five-business-day window, you would be labeled a “pattern day trader.” This meant you got hit with a requirement to maintain a minimum account balance of $25,000. If you didn’t have that amount sitting in your account, you were effectively benched. Your ability to trade frequently was restricted, your account functionality clipped, and your participation in the market suddenly conditional on whether you had what, for many people, is a significant chunk of savings just casually lying around. I could see the rule’s purpose in 1957, when you had to walk your orders to a live broker chain smoking cigars on Wall Street to make them — the idea of placing more than one trade a year must have looked like high-speed Roulette on crack cocaine doing 120mph doing I-95 in a modif...
