Manchester City lead the Premier League for the first time since the opening week so the title is now a riveting five-game shootout with Arsenal. The Gunners were top for 200 consecutive days until Erling Haaland’s first-half goal ended the run and proved the slender difference to Burnley, who have gone straight back to the Championship.

SeanShot/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Introduction It has been four years since I started writing on Seeking Alpha, and last month I had my first opportunity to be featured on the Portfolio Pulse video series on SA, comparing Moody's and S&P Global . Moody's ( MCO ) has just released its Q1 2026 earnings report, and it is therefore time to update our assessment. The first time I wrote on the stock, it was because I reverse-engineered Buffett's investment thesis, which clearly hinged on the compounding quality of the company and its extremely strong moat. However, back then the stock was trading at fwd PE close to 40, which made it too expensive. A year later, I came back and considered the stock a buy finally because the outlook had improved. In particular, we were seeing private credit growth as well as a debt maturity wall that was approaching. I saw Moody's as an indirect beneficiary of the AI buildout. Then, a few months ago, I ran a head-to-head comparison between the two undisputed leaders in debt ratings as AI disruption fears were sending both MCO and SPGI down. I said that MCO was a better pick over SPGI, and this is, so far, aging well, as Moody's is proving to be a bit more resilient than its peers. Data by YCharts My thesis was that AI fears were overblown. In particular, Moody's analytics business is more insulated than SPGI because it provides data that are used by loan models with regulatory approval. Let's then turn to Moody's report and see the new financial figures released. Moody's Q1 2026 Earnings Review Was I surprised by the report and by the fact that Moody's beat both top and bottom line estimates ? The first two months of the quarter saw high issuance volumes, fueled by the AI buildout and M&A activity. March, as we all know, was a hard month where credit spreads widened, creating some softness in new debt issuance. This is why investors were more concerned about the outlook than about the past quarter. But let's see the main numbers t...

SaaS Stocks Slammed As ServiceNow Disappoints, Blames MidEast War Perhaps indicative of the fragility of the current rebound - as Software stocks have recently ripped higher for 8 straight days - SaaS stocks are all deeply in the red after-hours as ServiceNow - the potential poster-child for AI disruption - cut its margin outlook amid lackluster results, sending shares reeling. At first glance, it was a good print - the provider of business task management software posted first-quarter adjusted earnings of 97 cents a share, which was in-line with Wall Street estimates, according to FactSet. Revenue for the quarter rose 22% to $3.77 billion, marginally above analyst expectations of $3.75 billion . Additionally, ServiceNow said that subscription revenue will increase about 23% to $3.82 billion in Q2, the company said ( marginally above the consensus of $3.75 billion). But it wasn't all pretty... But, it appears Wall Street was hoping for more - with investors already worried about the disruptive impact of AI on software stocks - as NOW shares sank 13% in extended trading... ...after the software company also cut its full-year forecast for subscription adjusted gross margin ... The software giant now expects a 31.5% margin on its full-year adjusted income from operations, whereas ServiceNow (NOW) was previously targeting a 32% margin. The company's forecast for a 26.5% adjusted operating margin in the second quarter is also meaningfully below the 30.1% Wall Street consensus But have no fear, the future looks incredibly rosy!!?? The lukewarm result was blamed on the Mideast conflict: In Q1 2026, subscription revenues growth saw an approximately 75 basis point headwind from delayed closings of several large on-premise deals in the Middle East, due to the ongoing conflict in the region. This outlook reflects a prudent assessment of those geopolitical headwinds on deal timing for the remainder of FY 2026. The margin narrative overshadowed ServiceNow's rosier view of its AI...

财联社4月23日讯（编辑 牛占林） 美东时间周三，三大指数集体收涨，其中标普500、纳指创收盘新高。此前，美国总统特朗普宣布延长与伊朗的停火协议，尽管市场仍不确定此举是否最终会促成实质性和平谈判。 特朗普表示，此次无限期延长停火是应巴基斯坦方面调解请求所作出的决定。不过，美国海军对伊朗港口的封锁仍在继续，而伊朗方面则在霍尔木兹海峡扣押了两艘船只。 这一关键航道承担着约20%的全球海运原油运输，其是否恢复畅通仍是投资者面临的重大不确定因素之一，也一直是谈判中的关键分歧点。 伊朗议会议长兼首席谈判代表穆罕默德·巴吉尔·卡利巴夫表示，只有解除海上封锁，全面停火才有意义。 近期股市上涨，主要源于市场普遍认为和平协议可能正在接近达成。不过，纳指在周一结束了此前连续13个交易日上涨的纪录。 WEBs Investments分析师Ben Fulton认为，投资者正式开始将中东局势抛诸脑后。他表示，事实上，从现在起美国股市将比国际市场更容易走高，尤其是考虑到财报带来的预期顺风。 Wedbush Securities高级副总裁Stephen Massocca表示：“市场已经对这一局势感到厌倦……显然，投资者正期待出现一个有利或至少体面的结果。” 他补充称：“企业盈利表现不错，但如果战争持续，这种良好表现还能否延续，将会削弱市场上涨动能。不过在我看来，目前市场中仍存在大量价值洼地，许多股票价格依然便宜。” 根据LSEG数据，当前第一季度企业盈利增速约为14%。不过，通胀再次升温的风险仍然存在，因为油价目前徘徊在每桶100美元附近，并可能进一步上涨。 市场动态 截至收盘，道指收涨340.65点，涨幅为0.69%，报49490.03点；纳指涨397.60点，涨幅为1.64%，报24657.57点；标普500指数涨73.89点，涨幅为1.05%，报7137.90点。 美股行业ETF多数收涨，半导体ETF涨2.62%，全球科技股指数ETF、科技行业ETF至少涨2.20%，能源业ETF涨1.20%，银行业ETF跌0.59%，全球航空业ETF跌3.25%。 标普500指数的11个板块多数收涨，信息技术/科技板块涨2.31%，电信、能源板块至少涨1.14%，房地产板块跌0.69%。 热门股表现 大型科技股普涨，苹果涨2.63%，亚马逊涨2.18%，谷歌A涨2.12%，微软涨2.07%，英伟达涨1.3...

Unwell, the media company founded by podcaster Alex Cooper and her husband, Matt Kaplan, held an all-hands meeting on Tuesday, amid concerns about the startup’s show launches, employee retention and complaints about Kaplan’s behavior. T.J. Marchetti, Unwell’s chief marketing officer, hosted the gathering. He discussed the continued expansion of the company’s leadership team as well as plans to grow the business. He acknowledged there have been employee departures, but said Unwell’s turnover is below that of other startups. Cooper and Kaplan, who serve as co-chief executive officers, were not present at the meeting, according to people familiar with the discussions. On Monday, Bloomberg News published a story about recent challenges facing Cooper and Kaplan after they combined forces to build a media empire that encompasses podcasts, TV shows, physical products and a creative agency. Over the past year, multiple high-level executives exited the company, including its second head of the podcast network in nearly three years, as well as rank-and-file employees. Some original shows that Unwell made for SiriusXM Holdings Inc. were canceled in less than a year, all while Kaplan has developed a reputation for yelling at employees, sometimes driving them to tears. His behavior has become so prevalent that crew members have threatened to quit their jobs on film sets and live tours if he didn’t keep his distance. Marchetti didn’t discuss complaints about Kaplan’s behavior at the team meeting, the people said. The company declined to comment. Cooper is best known as the host of the podcast Call Her Daddy .

特斯拉 公布第一季度财报时，14亿美元的正向自由现金流令华尔街大感意外。 这家车企一季度实现营收224亿美元，同比增长16%；汽车业务营收同样同比上涨16%。 能源业务营收来自工商业及家用储能产品销售，在近期财报中一直是公司亮点，但今年一季度同比下滑12%。 在截至3月31日的季度内，特斯拉净利润增长17%。 尽管分析师普遍预计该公司将出现两年来首次自由现金流为负的情况，特斯拉仍实现了14亿美元的正向自由现金流。 由埃隆·马斯克执掌的特斯拉本季度资本支出达25亿美元，主要用于扩充AI算力基础设施，并建设包括Cybercab无人驾驶出租车在内的全新生产线。 受财报利好推动，特斯拉股价在盘后交易中上涨超4%。 特斯拉一季度全球电动车销量为358，023辆，同比增长6.3%。尽管同比有所增长，但这仍是特斯拉自2022年以来销量第二差的季度。 在交付量实现增长的同时，特斯拉正试图将业务重心从汽车销售转向自动驾驶汽车与人形机器人，而这两类产品目前均未正式开售。公司近期已停产Model S和Model X两款豪华车型，并曾宣布将于本月启动无人驾驶出租车Cybercab的量产。 特斯拉计划今年夏季开始交付纯电动半挂卡车，同时也预告了多款新车，包括改款Roadster跑车。 特斯拉也在扩张其无人驾驶出租车网约车服务。上周六公司表示，已在得克萨斯州达拉斯和休斯顿的部分区域推出完全自动驾驶载客服务；今年1月，特斯拉已在奥斯汀率先开放少量完全自动驾驶体验。此外，该公司还在加州运营配备安全员的网约车服务，车辆使用辅助驾驶版本软件。 责任编辑：陈钰嘉

gorodenkoff/iStock via Getty Images CACI International ( CACI ) reported fiscal third-quarter results on Wednesday that topped Wall Street expectations, as the government technology and defense contractor posted higher revenue, profit and margins. Shares of CACI International ( CACI ) were little changed in extended trading. Through Wednesday’s close, the stock had risen 23% over the past 12 months. Revenue for the quarter ended March 31 rose 8.5% to $2.35 billion from $2.17 billion a year earlier, matching the figure disclosed by the company and beating analysts’ consensus estimate of $2.35 billion. Adjusted earnings per share rose to $7.27 from $6.23, ahead of Wall Street expectations of $6.93 a share. Net income rose to $130.4 million, or $5.88 a share, from $111.9 million, or $5.00 a share, a year earlier. Margins improve despite acquisition costs CACI International ( CACI ) said earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose 14.3% to $289.7 million. Margin expanded to 12.3% from 11.7% a year earlier, even with $17.4 million of transaction costs tied to its recently completed acquisition of ARKA Group. “CACI delivered another outstanding quarter, reflecting the strength of our strategy and our continued ability to win in the market with differentiated capabilities and exceptional execution,” Chief Executive John Mengucci said in the earnings release. Guidance raised as ARKA joins portfolio CACI International ( CACI ) raised its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $9.5 billion to $9.6 billion, up from prior guidance of $9.3 billion to $9.5 billion, reflecting contributions from ARKA Group, which it acquired for $2.6 billion in March. The company also increased its expected ebitda margin range to 11.8% to 11.9%, from 11.7% to 11.8% previously, while maintaining free cash flow guidance of at least $725 million. Backlog remains robust Total backlog at quarter-end stood at $33.4 billion, up 6.4% from a year earlier, while funded backlog in...

Investors may be taking issue with various elements of the software company’s margin forecast.

The chemistry is sweet, the location beautiful and there’s a crime every week that’s not too difficult to wrap up neatly. It’s the traditional dance of the minor cop show If all cop shows, celebrity travelogues and cooking competitions were to disappear overnight, the world of television would risk imploding. They are the load-bearing walls that sustain the whole structure. The sheer volume of these shows means that inevitably, there are tiny, specialised niches within each genre. Take Canadian crime drama Saint-Pierre, for example. Have you ever wondered what a slightly grittier Death in Paradise might look like? If so, you’re in luck. Just to make things even more familiar, Death in Paradise alumna Joséphine Jobert can be found in Saint-Pierre, too, co-starring as deputy chief Geneviève “Arch” Archamboult, a Parisian cop who, for reasons which will eventually become clear, has been transplanted to the tiny north Atlantic French territory of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. She is joined by another mildly troubled blow-in, Allan Hawco’s Royal Newfoundland Constabulary inspector Donny “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, a detective who has been shunted into obscurity after digging a little too vigorously into the nefarious deeds of a politician on his previous beat. Perhaps inevitably in this context, he’s struggling with a difficult private life, which lends him a slightly dishevelled air. He’s also prone to sea sickness, which, given his new placement on a small island, is not ideal. Pretty much as we meet him, he’s hacking up his breakfast into a nearby rockpool. The locals are not sympathetic. Continue reading...

OAKDALE, Calif., April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oak Valley Bancorp (NASDAQ: OVLY) (the “Company”), the bank holding company for Oak Valley Community Bank and their Eastern Sierra Community Bank division, recently reported unaudited consolidated financial results for the first quarter of 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, consolidated net income was $5,309,000, or $0.64 per diluted share (EPS). This compares to consolidated net income of $6,335,000, or $0.77 EPS, for the prior quarter and $5,297,000, or $0.64 EPS, for the same period a year ago. The net income decrease compared to the prior period was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses and a decrease in net interest income. The net income increase compared to the prior year was due to an increase in net interest income driven by earning asset growth. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $18,824,000, compared to $19,457,000 in the prior quarter, and $17,807,000 in the same period a year ago. The decrease from the prior quarter is due to lower yields on cash balances, lower average earning assets, a slight increase in the interest rate paid on deposit accounts and two less days of interest accruals, while the year-over-year increase is due to growth in earning assets and loan yields. As a result, net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 4.12%, compared to 4.14% for the prior quarter and 4.09% for the same period last year.

Singapore’s stability and business-friendly environment have long made it the regional hub of choice for tech giants such as Amazon, Google and ByteDance. However, the city-state’s traditional role as a bridge between East and West is under pressure. Rising protectionism, technological decoupling and a global retreat from free trade now threaten the open flows of capital that built its wealth.

A global wave of mergers and acquisitions is looming among private equity-backed data-center companies as their debt burdens become unmanageable, said Greg Goodman , chief executive officer of Australian industrial property giant Goodman Group . Goodman Group, which started out with a single industrial building in Sydney in the 1990s, is making a hard pivot to data centers, building out a global network of sites stretching from Los Angeles and Paris to Tokyo and Hong Kong. The company is among legions of businesses worldwide racing to provide infrastructure for an artificial intelligence boom that will consume trillions of dollars. In a rare interview at the company’s Sydney headquarters, the 63-year-old founder said he has growing concerns about the scale of private equity leverage fueling the data-center explosion. The rising refinancing costs of billions of dollars of debt are unsustainable, he said, predicting forced asset sales that will ultimately leave a smaller group of better-capitalized players. “There’ll be consolidation around the world,” the billionaire said. “You’ll see less data center developers and operators.” The scenario will play out over the next two to four years, he said, declining to identify companies that may be vulnerable or point to examples of worrying debt. Doubts about the viability of corners of the credit market have been circulating for months, with JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon in February calling out rival lenders for doing “dumb things.” But the Goodman boss went further, mapping out the potential consequences in the data center sector should borrowers become overstressed and banks turn more selective with their lending. “Look at all the private equity models,” he said. “There’s billions and billions of refinancing required just to keep these things sustainable. When does enough become enough for some of the big banks?” Bain Capital-owned Bridge Data Centres has engaged banks for a potential new loan of up to $6 billion. B...

California Exposes Amazon's Alleged 'Retail Price Fixing' In Unredacted Court Filing California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Monday released a largely unredacted court filing packed with internal emails that allege Amazon strong-armed brands like Levi Strauss and Hanes into pressuring Walmart, Target and other rivals to raise prices - all to protect Amazon’s $2.66 trillion empire. The 19-page memorandum , filed in support of a preliminary injunction in San Francisco Superior Court, paints a picture of coordinated price elevation that Bonta calls “naked” and “per se illegal” under California’s Cartwright Act. The evidence builds on documents the Guardian first reported on last week, but goes significantly further by naming major brands and quoting verbatim email chains that had remained heavily redacted until Monday. " You don’t see price fixing so explicitly and egregiously in writing like this ," Bonta told reporters, framing the documents as proof that Amazon used its market dominance to eliminate real competition across the internet. The case, The People of the State of California v. Amazon.com Inc. (CGC-22-601826), dates back to September 2022. California accuses Amazon of running what it calls a "Retail Price Fixing Scheme" that relies on threats of lost Buy Box placement, suppressed search visibility and outright order suspensions - tools the state says gave the company "overwhelming bargaining leverage" over vendors. The emails tell the story in real time. In one exchange detailed in the filing, Amazon flagged "styles of concern" to Levi’s - specifically Easy Khaki Classic pants listed cheaper at Walmart. The next day, Levi’s replied that it had "partnered with" Walmart to raise the price back to the desired $29.99 ladder. Amazon then matched the higher price. Similar patterns appear with Hanes (pressuring Target and Walmart), Allergan eye drops (Walmart raised prices after Amazon suppressed the listing), pet treats coordinated with Chewy, and furniture sold...

【有線新聞】政府計劃年中試行調查私人樓宇滲水的新程序，測量師學會在本台節目《政經CHAT》估計，處理滲水爭議的時間可加快一半。有物管業界認為，向上層單位業主收回檢測費用有阻嚇力，相信業主會更願意接受物管調解。 政府計劃年中試行調查私人樓宇滲水的新程序，包括向不願意維修的上層單位業主，追收調查及檢測費用，估計至少要17,000元。測量師學會在本台節目《政經CHAT》指，估計新程序比以往快一半，又形容追收檢測費定價水平合理，跟目前私人市場相若。香港測量師學會副會長謝志堅：「我相信政府這個17,000元的費用，是一個起始的費用，因為都要視乎他測試範圍，或者他要做多少測試。（會不會擔心說，可能政府收的費用其實是比私人市場便宜的話，可能反而業主會有誘因就會覺得由政府去做。）我始終覺得，政府現在出的價錢是最低的價格，將來可能會三、四萬都不出奇，這個都不知道。」 物管業界就認為追收檢測費具阻嚇力，相信日後透過物管成功調解的個案會增多，個案毋須交到滲水辦處理。香港物業服務公司協會主席潘建良：「要收你萬七元或以上費用，在他來說，他計算過數字，他不會再拖延，所以我希望在政府日後真的在試驗期間，多一點個案、多一點解說、多一點宣傳，讓我們廣大市民知道，今天我可能是上層，所謂上一層，但是他日我可能是受苦，下低一層。」 潘建良希望政府為業界提供更多培訓和講解，有需要時給予業界更多權力處理滲水爭議。
