Scott O’Neil sends rallying cry to staff after reports McGinley says PGA Tour could now ‘play hardball’ LIV Golf has insisted the tour intends to continue “uninterrupted and at full throttle” this season amid claims its Saudi Arabian backers will imminently withdraw having funded the breakaway league to the tune of $5bn (£3.68bn). The future of the rebel tour was mired in confusion on Wednesday following an executive meeting in New York and publication of a new Saudi investment strategy that did not mention sport and emphasised sustainability.

primeimages/E+ via Getty Images The strategy pursues long-term outperformance by owning a concentrated portfolio of 35 to 45 high-quality U.S. mid-cap stocks with the potential for long-term growth and business resiliency. Key Takeaways Parnassus Mid Cap Growth Fund (Investor Shares)( PARNX ) returned -7.03% (net of fees) for the quarter, fared worse than the Russell Midcap Growth Index's -6.35% return. Fund performance was hampered by our holdings in Industrials, Health Care and Financials, as well as a lack of exposure to Energy, partially offset by strong outperformance in Information Technology. In the first quarter, we diversified our exposure away from companies more vulnerable to artificial intelligence (AI) disruption toward companies with durable business models and clear paths to growth. We remain focused on selecting best-in-class, innovative companies with large addressable markets and long runways for growth in the pursuit of strong long-term returns. Market Review The Russell Midcap Growth Index kicked off 2026 with first-quarter losses as market leadership broadened away from large cap technology stocks into more reasonably valued mid caps, amid heightened market volatility from geopolitical shocks and shifting AI narratives. While the AI megatrend remained intact, fears of AI disruption caused sharp sell-offs among software and data services stocks. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady due to persistent inflation and economic uncertainty. The conflict with Iran drove oil prices sharply higher and resulted in a shift to a risk-off market sentiment, which pressured global equities and sharply increased volatility. During the quarter, the Energy sector's strong returns led the Russell Midcap Growth Index, followed by healthy but more modest returns in the Industrials and Materials sectors. The Communication Services, Financials and Information Technology sectors ended the period with the heaviest losses. Fund Facts Investor Shares Institutiona...

(EMI) The podcaster’s third sequin-festooned album in a row is her most retro, with its slightly cringe moments balanced by unerring quality control and opulent arrangements Recent episodes of Table Manners, the podcast Jessie Ware co-hosts with her mother, Lennie, have begun with a brief advert for Ware’s new album: listeners, it advises, can get 10% off by preordering Superbloom using a special code. The fact that the advert is directing traffic from Ware’s podcast to her music feels slightly telling. As side hustles go, Table Manners has proved extraordinarily successful, attracting A-list guests: Margot Robbie, Jeremy Allen White, Paul McCartney, Robert De Niro. Indeed, it’s proved so successful that it scarcely seems like a side hustle at all: in 2026, Ware is probably better known as a podcaster than a singer. Hats off to her: in an uncertain era, when rock and pop artists are well advised to have a backup plan, there’s something hugely impressive about how big Ware’s has become. Still, there lurks the danger of her music seeming an afterthought: like the 10% off ad, something to get out of the way before the more serious business of enjoying banana bread with Lisa Kudrow. You can hear the impact of Table Manners on Superbloom in a literal sense: a track called Automatic features a deep-voiced spoken-word appearance from Euphoria star Colman Domingo, previously a guest on the podcast. It’s also an album marked by a sense of doubling down. Ware’s third album in a row to mine a disco-pop hybrid, it’s also the most straightforwardly retro of the trio, sanding away the sheen of futuristic electronica found on 2020’s What’s Your Pleasure? and 2023’s That! Feels Good! in favour of lush orchestration: even the most synth-heavy tracks here speak less of the present than they do the early 80s post-disco boogie genre. Continue reading...

Jon Tetzlaff/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Back in November of last year, I decided to take a fresh look at airplane manufacturing giant The Boeing Company ( BA ) . For years, the company has faced certain struggles. Operational inefficiencies, combined with some high profile air related incidents, severely negatively affected financial performance. Last year, the company started showing some meaningful signs of improvement. As backlog grew, revenue increased. The bottom line for the company became healthier as well, and recently management has been successful in reducing overall leverage. Today, shares actually look much cheaper in some respects than they have over the last few years. However, problems still persist. Even though management is expecting positive free cash flow this year, the stock is nowhere near what I would consider to be cheap considering the issues that it has faced. And yet, the stock is up 14.5% since I reaffirmed it as a 'hold' candidate last November. Over the same window of time, the market is up 3.8%. However, the return disparity is smaller if we look at the time I upgraded it to a 'hold' in June of last year. Since then, shares are up 12.6%, which is actually a bit inferior to the 17.2% rise that the S&P 500 saw. Long term, I have no doubt that the company would do fine from an operational standpoint. However, I am not ready to upgrade it just yet. Although management is making some significant progress, I want to see more before becoming bullish on it. The good news is that there will be the opportunity for management to prove itself. I say this because, just around the corner, management will be announcing financial results for the first quarter of the company's 2026 fiscal year. Revenue is expected to improve, though profitability is forecast to worsen. Naturally, investors should keep a close eye on what goes on here, and they should pay attention to other important details like backlog and debt. Until we do see something substan...

Glickman came to ZIM ( ZIM ) as President and CEO in 2017 after serving as CEO of Israeli Electric, the country's largest utility company, and as Deputy CEO of Orange Cellular Communication. His resignation comes two months after German shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd signed a deal to acquire 100% of ZIM's ( ZIM ) shares for $4.2B, after he had attempted to lead a group to acquire the company that ultimately was rejected.

jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Eli Lilly ( LLY ) on Thursday said it will seek a label expansion for its newly approved weight loss pill, Foundayo, in Q2 after the once-daily therapy succeeded in a Phase 3 trial for patients with type 2 diabetes. Citing topline data, the Indiana-based drugmaker said that its Phase 3 ACHIEVE-4 trial, designed to evaluate Foundayo against a long-acting form of insulin called insulin glargine in adults with type 2 diabetes, met the primary endpoint. The global trial for more than 2,700 adults reached its primary endpoint, as Foundayo was found to be non-inferior to insulin glargine in the risk of stroke, heart attacks, and other major adverse cardiovascular events, according to the company. In the study, Foundayo, also known as orforglipron, was associated with a 16% and 57% lower risk for major adverse cardiovascular events and risk of all-cause death compared to insulin glargine, respectively. However, during the 52-week minimum treatment period, nearly 11% of patients on Foundayo dropped out of the trial due to adverse events, despite the safety and tolerability data for the drug being roughly in line with its past studies. The open-label trial enrolled adults with type 2 diabetes and obesity or overweight who are at an increased risk for cardiovascular events. Eli Lilly ( LLY ) intends to seek a label expansion for Foundayo for type 2 diabetes by the end of Q2 under the FDA Commissioner's National Priority Review Voucher program, which accelerates the review of products developed by companies aligned with national priorities.
