Defenestration has become the modus operandi in politics, instead of MPs working through the real issues of the day Does the United Kingdom really need a new prime minister? In particular, does it need Wes Streeting, Angela Rayner or Ed Miliband, reportedly lining up to replace Sir Keir Starmer? The answer is surely no, not now and not after whatever the May elections may indicate. A change of government not even two years in office cannot be in the national interest. Yet Britain’s political community appears to be cohering round just such a defenestration. It seems the only way it knows how to hold power to account, giving it the seventh leader inside a decade. Parliamentary democracy is dysfunctional. Simon Jenkins is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

fcafotodigital/iStock via Getty Images Introduction and Thesis I am strongly bullish on Prenetics Global Limited ( PRE ), driven by a strategic shift to quarterly subscriptions, which has doubled customer value from $110 in 2025 to $233 in early 2026. In the recently released Q4 2025 , it also indicates this optimism by maintaining an 80% new customer subscription rate. This is mainly driven by its new product, IM8, which in 12 months achieved annualized recurring revenue of $120 million. It was possible because IM8 revenues in 2025 started at $581,000 in the first month and reached $10 million per month. For those who don’t know, IM8 is a health and wellness multivitamin by Prenetics, which provides a clinical-grade nutritional supplement with fruity flavors and bioactive vitamins. They are designed to boost resilience, energy, and longevity. The management reaffirms revenue guidance for FY2026 of $180 million to $200 million, with an ARR path of $250 million to $300 million by the end of 2026. If you take a midpoint revenue guidance of $190 million, that implies a possible revenue growth YoY of 105.65%. In my view, IM8 is a revenue machine that could drive Prenetics to a billion-dollar company for one reason. That consumers are increasingly curious, informed, and intentional in seeking food that supports mental clarity, longevity, and emotional well-being. Globally, around two-thirds of consumers take vitamins to supplement their diets. Right now, only 17% of consumers do not use any supplements. I think this is what is driving the global dietary supplement market from its current volume of $229.77 million to $507.35 million in 2035 at a CAGR of 9.2%. Now, let’s look at this from a deeper perspective and unravel why I believe IM8 warrants a bullish outlook for Prenetics. Company Brief Prenetics Global Limited provides advanced consumer health services internationally through IM8 wellness products. The company also provides Europa sports nutrition distribution and ...

Check out the companies making the biggest moves premarket: Intel — Shares nearly 27% after the chipmaker posted first-quarter earnings that beat Wall Street's expectations. Intel posted adjusted earnings of 29 cents per share on revenue of $13.58 billion, while analysts polled by LSEG had expected it to earn 1 cent per share on $12.42 billion in revenue. Intel's second-quarter forecast also was well above analysts' expectations. Procter & Gamble — The consumer goods giant popped more than 3% on better-than-expected results for the fiscal third quarter. Procter earned an adjusted $1.63 per share on revenue of $21.24 billion. Analysts polled by LSEG expected a profit of $1.56 per share on revenue of $20.5 billion. Advanced Micro Devices — Shares surged nearly 12% after investors gained renewed faith in the AI trade after Intel's earnings and the company got an upgrade from DA Davidson. The firm said Intel's big earnings are a pre-cursor for a big ramp up in the company's CPU business. Boyd Gaming — The gambling and hospitality stock slipped 6% after Boyd posted first-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.60 per share, below the $1.73 consensus from LSEG. Revenue of $997.4 million also fell short of the expected $1 billion. Performance was hurt by soft revenue at its Las Vegas business. SAP — The software stock popped almost 7% after the company earned $1.72 per share, excluding items, in its latest quarter, beating the expected $1.69, per LSEG. SAP cloud revenue rose 19%. The company's said its 2026 financial outlook is based on the assumption that the Middle East conflict will de-escalate. SLM — Shares added 1% after the student loan provider earned $1.54 per share, up from $1.40 per share a year ago. Sallie Mae also raised its full-year earnings guidance to between $3.10 and $3.20 per share, from a prior forecast of between $2.70 and $2.80 per share, which was above FactSet's $2.78 estimate.

ewg3D/E+ via Getty Images It has now been more than four months since the rains in Queensland halted operations at Glencore, Stanmore Resources, Coronado Global Resources and AMCI. Following this event, Australian ports had as many as 108 vessels waiting in queue , pushing Premium Low Volatility (PLV), the global benchmark, up to $237 per ton. In theory, it was an event of enough magnitude to have dragged alternative producers globally into a positive upward trend, with the world’s largest exporter out of action. However, during this disruption, Hampton Roads High Volatility A (HVA) remained at $159. What reasons explain this differential? Raw material quality aside, because obviously that is one of the answers and, in my view, the easy one, I would rather explain what Alpha Metallurgical Resources’ ( AMR ) operations look like, meaning starting with the Central Appalachian Coal Basin in Virginia and West Virginia. One of the explanations I find is that, geologically, the deposits have narrower seams and are deeper than those in Queensland or the Rocky Mountains in Canada. www.alphametresources.com That means the dominant extraction method is underground mining, carried out through the room-and-pillar method, which is less efficient than longwalls, as it can only extract between 50%-60% of the coal, leaving the rest behind as pillars to support the roof. But beyond that, the type of coal extracted is mostly HVA and HVB, both below the top end of the market pricing scale. In my previous article on Warrior Met Coal ( HCC ), I discussed these concepts and how the strategy it is executing is another reason that helps explain the pricing differential, so I also recommend reading it to gain a broader view of all the players involved in this exciting game. Inside The Mines That said, I am now going to focus on the mining complexes currently operated by Alpha Metallurgical Resources. Right now, AMR’s production is based on four qualities, where 75% of the mix falls into HVA...
