In 2021, General Electric announced it would split its sprawling business into three companies. It spun off its healthcare business as GE HealthCare (NASDAQ: GEHC) in 2023, and its energy business as GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) in 2024. The remaining aviation business was rebranded as GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE) , which retained its original ticker symbol. Over the past 12 months, GE Vernova's stock rallied 70% -- compared to GE HealthCare's nearly flat return and GE Aerospace's gain of almost 90%. Today, we'll take a closer look at GE Vernova -- which is well-poised to profit from the energy sector's cyclical growth -- to see if its stock can soar even higher over the next 12 months.

The average retired worker receives just over $2,000 per month in Social Security benefits, according to November 2025 data from the Social Security Administration. However, it's possible to receive far more from the program. In 2026, the maximum amount beneficiaries can receive is a whopping $5,251 per month, or just over $63,000 per year. While that money could be life-changing for many retirees...

France Records First Peacetime Natural Population Decline As Deaths Exceed Births Authored by Thomas Brooke via Remix News, France recorded a negative natural population balance in 2025 for the first time since the end of the Second World War, according to the national statistics institute INSEE, as the number of deaths exceeded the number of births over the year. INSEE estimates that 645,000 babies were born in France in 2025, a decline of 2.1 percent compared with 2024 and 24 percent fewer than in 2010, the last peak year for births. Over the same period, 651,000 people died, an increase of 1.5 percent year on year. The result was a negative natural balance of -6,000. The statistics institute said the increase in deaths was due in particular to a severe winter flu epidemic at the start of the year, as well as, in some areas, episodes of intense summer heat. Despite this, life expectancy at birth continued to rise, reaching 85.9 years for women and 80.3 years for men in 2025, both up by 0.1 years and at historically high levels. The decline in births was compounded by a further fall in fertility. The total fertility rate dropped to 1.56 children per woman in 2025, down from 1.61 in 2024, and the lowest level since the end of the First World War. INSEE noted that the number of women of childbearing age has not fallen and has even increased slightly in recent years, meaning the drop in births is attributed entirely to lower fertility. The average age at which women give birth to their first child rose to 31.2 years in 2025, compared with 29.6 years in 2005. As of Jan. 1, 2026, France’s population was estimated at 69.1 million, an increase of 0.25 percent over the previous year. This growth was driven entirely by migration, with net migration provisionally estimated at plus 176,000 people. The population included 66.8 million people in metropolitan France and 2.3 million in the overseas departments. The demographic shift is also reflected in the country’s age composit...

AI tool faces growing global scrutiny over the spread of nonconsensual sexual images of women and minors on X Elon Musk said on Wednesday he was not aware of any “naked underage images” generated by xAI’s Grok, as scrutiny of the AI tool intensifies worldwide. “I not aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero,” Musk said in an X post. Musk’s comment comes as xAI and X face growing global scrutiny, including calls by lawmakers and advocacy groups for Apple and Google to drop Grok from app stores, an investigation by UK regulators, and bans or legal action in countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia.

Top Taiwanese officials are traveling to Washington to advance a long-stalled agreement to lower US tariffs on the self-governing island’s exports and boost investment in America, according to people familiar with the matter. Taiwan’s vice premier Cheng Li-chiun and trade representative Yang Jen-ni are expected to arrive late Wednesday or early Thursday, with plans to meet in the coming days with representatives from President Donald Trump ’s administration, said the people who requested anonymity to discuss the previously undisclosed visit. It’s unclear which US officials will participate in the meetings and whether Trump plans to become personally involved, the people said. Whether a deal will be finalized during the visit also remains uncertain. The White House, Office of the US Trade Representative, US Commerce Department and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Washington didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Still, the trip marks the latest signal that months of negotiations between Washington and Taipei are entering their final stages. Earlier: Trump Team Nears Taiwan Trade Deal With More US Chip Investment Under the terms of the emerging pact, duties on Taiwanese imports would fall to 15% from the current level of 20%, according to a person familiar with the parameters. That rate would put goods from Taiwan on par with those from Japan and South Korea, which reached agreements with Trump last year. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. in turn would significantly expand planned investments in chip production on US soil, people familiar with the matter said. The world’s top producer of advanced chips used in artificial intelligence would pledge to build at least four more chip manufacturing plants in Arizona, adding to the six factories and two advanced packaging facilities it has already promised to open there, one of the people said. A signed pact would represent a significant victory for Taipei, which has been pushing to...

Germany’s co-ruling Social Democrats criticized Deutsche Lufthansa AG over its deal to use Elon Musk-backed SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet network, saying it should have chosen a domestic operator like Deutsche Telekom AG . Isabel Cademartori, a spokeswoman for transportation policy for the SPD’s parliamentary caucus, said the agreement opens Lufthansa up to making itself dependent on US technology at a time of “intense debate about greater European sovereignty.” “I find this decision difficult to understand from a transportation policy perspective,” Cademartori said Wednesday in an emailed statement. Treating digital infrastructure as a “mere matter of convenience” fails to recognize its strategic importance, added Johannes Schätzl, SPD caucus spokesman for digital affairs and state modernization. “Especially when it comes to critical connectivity, Europe and key European companies must not knowingly allow themselves to become dependent on problematic sources,” Schätzl said. “We have an outstanding network operator in Deutsche Telekom. As a German company, not relying on these services is a serious mistake.” Lufthansa didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The group — which includes Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines and Swiss — announced Tuesday that it will equip its more than 800 planes with the Starlink service, which it described as the industry’s fastest in-flight internet. The rollout is set to begin in the second half of this year and be completed by 2029. The choice of Starlink follows similar moves by carriers like United Airlines Holdings Inc. , Emirates, Qatar Airways and Saudi Arabia’s flagship Saudia. For Lufthansa, it’s part of a strategy to bolster its premium appeal in an increasingly competitive market.
