New Zealand staged a miraculous comeback to win the second T20 at Canterbury having begun the game by collapsing to 11 for four. Their recovery came by virtue of a 159-run partnership from 98 balls between Sophie Devine and Maddy Green – a record against England in T20 internationals. The partnership rollicked along so quickly that the scorebox operators struggled to keep up, with the numbers repeatedly getting stuck due to the 28C heat. Set 171 to win, England’s nerves got the better of them: openers Sophia Dunkley and Alice Capsey could only manage bits-and-pieces contributions, while a promising 42-run partnership between Maia Bouchier and Heather Knight for the third wicket ended in disaster when Knight ran halfway down the pitch, was sent back by her partner and fell victim to a throw-in by Sophie Devine from midwicket. Bouchier, clearly unsettled, chipped the next ball up to long-on leaving England still needing 52 from 27 balls. Freya Kemp and Dani Gibson have both been touted by head coach Charlotte Edwards as aggressive finishers in T20 but it proved too big an ask, and with scoreboard pressure telling, Gibson swung at a straight one from Bree Illing in the 19th and was bowled. Kemp smashed two sixes in the final over, taking on Lea Tahuhu, but it was all too little, too late. The series is now level at 1-1, with the decider at Hove on Monday.

Photograph: Justin Setterfield/Getty Images Devine and Green had reached half-centuries within consecutive overs, but Devine accelerated rapidly at the death as the last four overs cost England 56, including 16-run overs apiece from Gibson and Kemp in the 17th and 18th. Devine’s intense desire to accumulate runs, combined with the heat, led to contortions at the crease so acute that she fell over multiple times. She was run out from the final ballwith her six-st...

JuSun/iStock via Getty Images I have been very underweight consumer ( XLP ) and industrial ( XLI ) stocks in recent years, in large part due to my concern that elevated inflation would prove to be sticky and to the ongoing risk of supply chain disruptions due to geopolitical turmoil in the world. Meanwhile, my energy ( XLE ) and materials-related ( XLB ) investments have been big winners, which has helped fuel our significant outperformance over the past five and a half years since we launched our portfolios. That being said, with the strong rally of energy and material stocks, along with mega-cap tech stocks, much of the low-hanging fruit has already been picked. Moreover, there are several consumer and industrial names that have been dropping like stones despite having reasonably solid underlying balance sheets and business models. As a result, they provide compelling starting yields and decent, if not very attractive, long-term total return potential. In today's article, I'm going to discuss two opportunities that have been on my watch list for quite some time and are objectively undervalued today, and are dropping to a point where their margin of safety may soon be large enough to warrant buying them. A Fallen Packaged Foods Giant The first opportunity we discuss is Conagra Brands ( CAG ). It is one of America's most recognizable packaged food companies, with brands that reach about 94% of American households. Its business is diversified across three segments: Frozen foods Snacks Staples The company's major growth priority is in frozen foods and its competitive moat lies in its large range of brands, which give it access to numerous customer bases, significant proprietary corporate data, and an ability to pivot from one segment and brand to another to capture current trends and minimize the risk of throwing good capital after bad opportunities. It is investing particularly aggressively in rolling out new products and brands in the frozen food category, which is ...

Nvidia (NVDA) Exceeds Expectations with Strong Earnings Report GuruFocus

STORY: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang signaled on Saturday, his company sees major long-term opportunities in China, despite tensions arising from the U.S.-China technological race. Huang spoke to reporters after landing in Taipei, ahead of a major trade show there. He was asked whether the world's second largest economy was part of the $200-billion market forecast he mentioned during Nvidia's earnings call on Wednesday. "I would think so. $200 billion is not today, it’s someday. And it includes all the data centers, CPUs. This is a new market for us." :: Nvidia CPUs, or central processing units, are becoming more important as companies move toward agentic AI, which are systems that can perform tasks more independently. The shift is expanding demand beyond GPUs - or graphics processing units - the chips Nvidia is best known for, widely used to train large AI models. :: Archive In face of rising competition, Huang has tried to assure investors that the world's most valuable company can keep up its blockbuster growth with its broad base of customers. He has also been positive that new products will help the company beat the $1 trillion in sales it has forecast for its flagship AI chips. "'Vera' is a really exciting CPU, I'll tell you more about it next week..." :: Nvidia But Nvidia's H200 chip still faces hurdles in China. The U.S. government has granted licenses allowing the company to sell its second-most powerful chip there. But Chinese officials have not yet approved it, as Beijing works to support domestic chipmakers. "H200 has been licensed to ship to China. It would be terrific to be able to serve that market. The Chinese market is very important. It's very large, of course." :: May 14, 2026 Recent talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping did not produce an immediate breakthrough.

Underdog Global Partners is leading negotiations on behalf of a US consortium to acquire SSC Napoli SpA from the De Laurentiis family for about €2 billion ($2.3 billion), The Athletic reported . The bid has stalled over sticking points flagged by owner Aurelio De Laurentiis and UGP hopes to revive negotiations, according to the Athletic, which cited sources it didn’t identify. De Laurentiis, a film producer and businessman, bought the Naples, Italy-based soccer team in 2004, rescuing it from bankruptcy and turning a third-tier team into a powerhouse that won the Italian league championship in 2023 and 2025. While De Laurentiis wasn’t soliciting bids for Napoli, UGP has persisted in negotiations that began six months ago. If the sale were to go through, De Laurentiis would secure one of the biggest profits in sports, having acquired the soccer team for less than 2% of what the American group is offering, according to the The Athletic. The bid includes a commitment to invest in infrastructure and plans to privatize and redevelop the Stadio Diego Maradona, the home stadium named after the late Argentinian star who played for Napoli starting in the mid-1980s. UGP declined to comment on “rumor and speculation,” according to The Athletic. UGP’s portfolio also includes Campobasso FC, a Serie C Italian soccer team, and top-tier Italian club Napoli Basketball.

NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) stock has huge potential. Interest in nuclear energy is skyrocketing thanks to soaring energy demand from artificial intelligence (AI) companies , which in turn rely on energy-intensive data center infrastructure . In the coming years, trillions of dollars will be spent scaling additional data center infrastructure, adding ever more demand for clear, reliable energy sources like nuclear. NuScale is taking a novel approach to nuclear. Instead of building massive power plants -- what experts typically call conventional nuclear power plants -- NuScale specializes in small modular reactors, or SMRs. SMRs are quicker and cheaper to build, meaning they can meet AI's rising energy demands more immediately than conventional plants. And because SMRs are modular, they can be added to in the future, meaning their small initial size isn't a permanent limiting factor for energy generation capacity. In 2023, NuScale became the first company in the U.S. to have an SMR design approved for construction. Afterward, the company signed a major deal with ENTRA1 and the Tennessee Valley Authority for a 6-gigawatt SMR system to serve the eastern U.S. But the company also has projects abroad, such as its 462-megawatt project in Romania.

Elise Stefanik Eyes Next Move As Congressional Tenure Nears End Benzinga

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday called India a natural partner and invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Washington, turning the page at least rhetorically on friction despite new-found US warmth towards China. One week after joining US President Donald Trump on a state visit to Beijing, Rubio – visiting both Asian powers for the first time – flew to New Delhi and met Modi for more than an hour, inviting the premier to visit the White House soon. “The world’s oldest democracy in the United States and the world’s largest democracy here in India are natural partners now and in the future,” said Rubio, sporting a tuxedo in the searing heat as he entered a gala dinner for business and political leaders at the US ambassador’s residence. Advertisement Modi said he discussed with Rubio issues related to regional and global peace and security. “India and the United States will continue to work closely for the global good,” he said in a social media post. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio (front), his wife Jeanette and US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor arrive at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi on Saturday.

What a lot of unnecessary fuss that all was. For all the rigmarole over interns spying at golf courses and which team should be allowed to play at Wembley, it was Hull who were destined to become a Premier League club all along. Head coach Sergej Jakirovic had described his side as “collateral damage” in the spygate saga that had provided the most extraordinary precursor to this Championship playoff final, forcing him to prepare for the £200m match by analysing the wrong team for more than a week. Best laid plans and all that. After nine years, Hull are back in the top flight. Following a buildup no one will forget, it was a turgid match that few will ever choose to remember. The only thing that mattered was Oli McBurnie’s stoppage-time winner. Having sat deep for most the 90 minutes, Hull broke down the left through substitute Yu Hirakawa, whose cross was palmed away by Sol Brynn, but only as far as McBurnie. The Scot could not miss his rebound from a couple of yards. Victory will come as a relief to many given Hull owner, Acun Ilicali, had vowed that his side would take legal action in the event of defeat here, questioning why an eliminated team had been reinstated. Speaking immediately before kick-off – “now the boys are in the stadium and they will not hear me” – he suggested his lawyers would argue that either Hull should have been declared playoff winners after Southampton’s expulsion or seventh-placed Wrexham inserted into a semi-final against Middlesbrough. Thankfully, the threat will no longer need to be acted upon. Little over a year ago, Hull supporters were considering life in an alternative division. On that occasion it was relegation to League One that was of paramount concern – a fate they avoided on the final day of the season only thanks to superior goal difference. They then began this campaign with a three-window transfer fee embargo – later reduced to two – that has left them relying on suitable free agents when looking to strengthen. The pre-sea...

The title battle between Mercedes drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli boiled over for the first time as the Englishman won a gripping sprint race at the Canadian Grand Prix. Russell and Antonelli collided in one incident and the Italian ran off track in two as they battled for the lead of the race in the early laps. Antonelli's second off-track incident handed second place to McLaren's Lando Norris and the three cars fought nose to tail until the end of the race. Antonelli, who finished third behind Norris, complained over the radio that Russell had pushed him off track and deserved a penalty. And team boss Toto Wolff, who rarely talks on the radio, ordered his protege to "concentrate on the driving, not on the radio moaning". Russell kept his cool in the lead - and on the penultimate lap Antonelli had a third off-track moment as he attempted to dive around the outside of the McLaren into the first corner, but Norris held firm. Russell's victory, from Norris and Antonelli, cuts his deficit in the championship to Antonelli to 18 points and was a much-needed return to the front for the Briton after three consecutive grand prix wins for his team-mate. Antonelli complained again about Russell's driving on the slowing down lap and Wolff again came on the radio to admonish him: "Kimi, we talk about this privately, not on the radio."

Intel CEO reveals rare ‘speed-of-light’ turnaround plan thestreet.com

JaysonPhotography/iStock via Getty Images Wall Street finished the week in positive territory, though trading remained volatile as investors grappled with surging Treasury yields, escalating Middle East tensions, and another closely watched earnings report from Nvidia ( NVDA ). Early in the week, concerns about an inflationary shock tied to the Middle East conflict pushed Treasury yields higher and pressured equities. Market sentiment improved later in the week amid growing optimism surrounding a potential temporary ceasefire framework between Washington and Tehran. Markets also adjusted to the arrival of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve chairman on Friday. Nvidia remained at the center of investor attention after the AI chipmaker delivered earnings and guidance above Wall Street expectations. For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ( DJI ) gained +2.1%, the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) rose +0.9%, and the Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) added +0.5%. Here’s what caught investor attention this week: Dominion Energy ( D ) shares jumped on Monday after confirming a merger agreement with NextEra Energy ( NEE ) in an all-stock deal valued at about $67B that would create the world’s largest regulated electric utility by market capitalization. Bitcoin Depot ( BTM ) shares plunged 39% over the week after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. as it seeks to wind down operations and pursue asset sales. The company said its Bitcoin ATM network has been taken offline and cited mounting compliance costs, transaction restrictions, litigation, and regulatory actions as key pressures on its business model.

England suffered a disappointing 14-run defeat as Sophie Devine's brilliance levelled the T20 series for New Zealand at Canterbury. England's bowlers started magnificently in scorching conditions, restricting New Zealand to 11-4, but Sophie Devine and Maddy Green added a record-breaking 159 for the fifth wicket to take the White Ferns to a competitive 170-5. All-rounder Devine blasted 87 from 57 balls before she was run out from the final ball of the innings, with Green finishing 56 not out in support. Devine whacked six sixes and five fours as England's bowlers and fielders struggled under pressure in all-too-familiar scenes. The stunning recovery saw New Zealand take the momentum into the second innings, and though England started their chase positively, Sophia Dunkley was the first to throw away her start and fell for 26 from 18 balls. After Alice Capsey was out for 22, Heather Knight and Maia Bouchier added 43 for the third wicket but their cautious approach saw the run-rate climb and the pair fell in consecutive balls in the 16th over to all-but seal the win for New Zealand. Explosive all-rounders Dani Gibson and Freya Kemp were tasked with scoring 30 from the final two overs, but they were dismissed for 12 and 14 respectively as England finished on 156-6. The series decider takes place at Hove on Monday, when even hotter conditions are expected.
