Amazon stock might be the biggest bargain of the new year. Amazon (AMZN 1.93%) has been a reliable long-term performer, but the growth stock didn't have a spectacular 2025. The growth stock only gained 5% despite strong financial results throughout the year, and this mismatch makes Amazon look promising. It has made great strides in e-commerce, online advertising, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), four industries that are poised for long-term growth. That's enough to warrant a closer look, and when you dig into recent results, Amazon's stock seems undervalued at current levels. Online ads can boost margins Amazon's margins have received a massive boost in recent years as its business diversifies beyond online retail. While Amazon Web Services has taken center stage in the company's long-term plans, investors should also consider the growth in Amazon's online advertising segment. That part of the business was up by 24% year over year in Q3, reaching $17.7 billion. Although ad revenue is a little less than 10% of Amazon's total revenue, it is a high-margin business. Amazon is also competing with tech giants Meta Platforms (META 1.47%) and Alphabet (GOOG +0.48%) (GOOGL +0.69%) with online ads. Meta Platforms earned $51.2 billion in Q3, while Alphabet brought in $65.9 billion from ads. Amazon's ad business is catching up to the two adtech leaders. It's still growing at a great pace despite the one-year stock gains not reflecting that.

The yin-and-yang of Harry Brook and Joe Root has headlined England’s best batting day of the Ashes, with the pair taking them to 211-3 before a storm hit the SCG on day one of the fifth Test. Their side down 3-1 in the series and the Ashes decided, Brook and Root’s unbeaten 154-run counter-attacking stand helped rescue England from 57 for 3 on Sunday. The partnership is already England’s best of the tour, with Root unbeaten on 72 and Brook 78 when umpires took players from the field just before tea. Rain and lightning stopped players returning before the day was abandoned under brighter skies and with no rain falling at 5pm. It came as Australia went without a spinner at the SCG for the first time in 138 years, with Todd Murphy left out and Beau Webster in the XI for Jhye Richardson. Brook has had a miserable tour after arriving as England’s best cause for hope of a first series win in Australia in 15 years, but Sunday was everything he is known for. The 26-year-old’s intent was always clear, even if his execution was at times questionable. He jumped down the wicket and left his first ball from Scott Boland, then inside-edged the next down to fine leg to get off the mark. View image in fullscreen Harry Brook bats on the way to reaching 78 mnot out day one of the fifth Ashes Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Photograph: Robbie Stephenson/PA In the three hours of batting that followed, Brook charged the quicks again at different times, gave himself room and took on the short ball with fielders back. At one stage former England captain Michael Vaughan, in commentary, accused the right-hander of batting as if he simply got bored, deciding to take on Australia’s short ball plan. Nowhere was that better summed up than when he picked up a Cameron Green delivery and half scooped, half hooked, it over fine leg for six. On the next delivery, Brook premeditated by backing away and giving himself room, before having to get the bat down to defend a fuller, straighter ball. Stil...

He took office promising to annex Greenland and take back the Panama Canal. Now that he has ousted Maduro, other countries could be next “This is genius,” Donald Trump enthused. It was February 22, 2022. Vladimir Putin had just declared parts of eastern Ukraine to be independent and sent in Russian troops to serve as so-called peacekeepers. The once and future American president was impressed, even inspired. “We could use that on our southern border,” Trump mused. Trump didn’t know then that he was speaking at the start of a full-scale invasion that has lasted nearly four years and inflicted upwards of 1.5 million casualties and counting. And Trump doesn’t know now what he has unleashed in Venezuela. The South American country is not Ukraine, nor, for that matter, is it Afghanistan, Iraq, or Libya. But by ordering military strikes to seize dictator Nicolás Maduro, Trump has thrown a country of around 28 million people into uncertainty and tossed aside the most obvious, hard-won lesson of decades of US foreign policy failures: regime-change wars are easy to start and hard to win, much less to turn into anything resembling genuine success.

Turkey urged the parties involved in the US attack on Venezuela to exercise caution and said it was ready to help resolve the crisis, issuing its first statement after the operation that resulted in the capture of Nicolás Maduro in Caracas. “Türkiye attaches importance to the stability of Venezuela and to the peace and well being of the people of Venezuela,” according to a statement issued by Turkey’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Saturday. “We call on all parties to exercise restraint in order to prevent the current situation from leading to adverse consequences for regional and international security.” The statement came as Venezuela’s allies across the globe, including Brazil, Russia and China, condemned the attack. Meanwhile, Devlet Bahceli , a political ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and one of the country’s most prominent nationalist politicians, told CNN Turk late Saturday that the US had “illegally” toppled Maduro. Erdogan told local reporters Friday he is scheduled to hold a phone call on Monday with US President Donald Trump on regional issues, including Ukraine and Palestine.

A man who broke into the home of South Korean singer-actress Nana and was jailed on robbery charges has now filed a counter-complaint against her – and his handwritten prison letter, released through local TV, is stirring anger among social media users. According to JTBC news programme Crime Chief, the intruder sent five letters from detention through an acquaintance, insisting that he did not attack Nana or her mother and that he was instead stabbed during the struggle. He wrote that he had entered the home only to steal, saying he wore gloves and a headset but “did not prepare a weapon in advance”. He said he grabbed Nana’s mother tightly to stop her from moving rather than engaging in a violent fight. Advertisement The K-pop star attempted to stab him with a household object, he said. “I was cut about 7cm (three inches) between my ear and neck, but I never touched any part of Nana’s body – not even a single hair.” He also alleged that he broke into the home because he needed money for his mother’s hospital bills, and that after being subdued he confessed and apologised. He went on to claim that Nana’s team proposed giving him 40 million won (US$27,700) if he told police he had entered with a weapon. Advertisement Police accounts sharply contradict his claims. Investigators said the man entered Nana’s residence in Guri, Gyeonggi province, in November using a ladder to climb to the veranda while carrying a knife in a sheath.

South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung has arrived in Beijing for his first China trip since taking office, as Seoul looks to steady ties with a key economic partner at a time of rising regional tensions. Lee landed in the Chinese capital on Sunday, kicking off a four-day trip that will include a meeting with President Xi Jinping on Monday and a visit to Shanghai. Lee is the first sitting South Korean president to travel to China since 2019. The visit comes two months after Xi made his first trip to South Korea in 11 years, where he emphasized the need for peace and stability in the region and pledged deeper cooperation with Seoul. Their talks on Monday are expected to cover trade, economic ties and security issues. Lee’s trip also comes at a delicate moment for regional diplomacy. Relations between China and Japan have deteriorated sharply and tensions over Taiwan continue to simmer. That’s giving Seoul added incentive to position itself as a potential mediator, even as it seeks to avoid being drawn into escalating rivalries among major powers. China Seeks S. Korea Support on Japan, Taiwan Before Lee’s Visit Xi Renews China-Korea Ties With Lee on First Visit in 11 Years Beijing, Seoul Signal Thaw in Cultural Ties After a Decade (1) North Korea’s latest ballistic missile launch, which traveled about 900 kilometers into waters off its eastern coast, came just hours before Lee arrived in Beijing for talks with Chinese leaders about regional security and stability. The provocations coincided with heightened global tensions after the US captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a raid, underscoring the high-stakes backdrop for Monday’s summit. Ahead of the visit, Lee’s security chief Wi Sung-lac said South Korea will maintain a consistent position on issues related to Taiwan and respect the One-China policy. He added that Seoul will urge Beijing to play a constructive role in promoting peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. China remains one of North Korea’s ...
