Captain Ben Davies has returned from a serious ankle injury to be included in Wales' squad for friendly matches against Ghana and Romania, while Connor Roberts could make his first competitive appearance for a year. Tottenham Hotspur defender Davies, who turned 33 last month, has not played since sustaining the injury, which required surgery, while playing for his club in January. Burnley right-back Roberts has been absent since injuring himself during Wales' World Cup qualifying defeat by Belgium in June 2025. The 30-year-old was forced off with a groin injury in Brussels, before damaging his Achilles after returning to Burnley, ruling him out of the entire 2025-26 season. Having featured for the Clarets' Under-21s earlier this month, Roberts returned to the first-team matchday squad for the first time this campaign on Sunday as he was an unused substitute for the Premier League draw with fellow relegated side Wolves. There is also a return from injury for centre-back Chris Mepham, but midfielders Jordan James and Rubin Colwill as well as forwards Liam Cullen and Mark Harris miss out with minor injuries. Wales host Ghana, one of England's World Cup group opponents, at Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday, 2 June, before facing Romania in Bucharest the following Saturday.

Andranik Hakobyan/iStock via Getty Images Market review March saw extreme shifts in Federal Reserve (Fed) expectations, leading to a period of higher interest rates and elevated volatility. Higher rates are challenging for borrowers and yet are better for investors looking to deploy new capital. Rate volatility complicates planning exercises across the economy, and the degree of volatility during March was notable. As implied by the federal funds futures market, over the course of just weeks, expectations for the Fed shifted from near-certain rate cuts, to no cuts, to possible hikes, to possible cuts (again). With short rates materially higher during the last month of the first quarter (by roughly 50 bps), we find the front end of the curve particularly attractive. The sell-off in 2-year U.S. Treasuries was driven by a combination of new expectations for the Fed as well as the unwinding of yield curve positions. Debates around the Fed's next steps could be potentially over-indexed to current inflation pressures. Notable risks to meeting the Fed's inflation objectives stem from discrete events: tariffs (which Powell recently hinted could have been a one-time impact) and war (whose duration is unknowable). The waning effects of tariffs and a de-escalation of the latest conflict in the Middle East could lower inflation expectations. At the same time, labor market risks appear more structural and driven by visions of an artificial intelligence (AI)-centric future. While the current market is focused on inflation, there is potential for an eventual reassessment of the Fed's competing priorities. Fortunately, the U.S. economy remains in decent shape, for now. Consumer spending accounts for roughly two-thirds of gross domestic product, and consumer confidence, while historically low, moved higher for the second month in a row. Further, AI investments are expected to contribute nearly 0.5% to economic growth. Globally, geopolitical tensions (Russia/Ukraine, China/Taiwan) an...
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, May 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc.

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, May 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Next Hydrogen Solutions Inc. (“Next Hydrogen”) (TSXV:NXH), a leading Canadian designer and manufacturer of clean hydrogen electrolyzers, reports its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. 2026 Q1 Financial Highlights Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $300,883, compared to $331,864 for the same period in the prior year. Revenue consisted entirely of service revenue under ongoing service and maintenance agreements. Net loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $2,795,411, compared to $2,940,412 in the prior year period. The improvement was driven by lower relative operating expenses as a result of cost management initiatives implemented in Q1 2026. Cash balance was $14.9 million as at March 31, 2026, compared to $18.5 million as at December 31, 2025. The decrease primarily reflects operating cash outflows during the quarter. Update on Strategic Initiatives Raveel Afzaal, President & CEO of Next Hydrogen said, “Our first commercial-scale NH150 0.75 MW electrolyzer module has been successfully operating since August 2025 at a Toronto area distribution centre of a major Canadian retailer using fuel cell powered forklifts. We are now focused on commercializing our NH150 electrolyzer across a range of applications including distribution centres, cold storage facilities, military applications and distributed hydrogen uses such as long-haul fuel cell trucks and fuel cell buses where its ability to integrate directly with renewables and excess grid electrical sources provides meaningful performance advantages. Onsite hydrogen production also offers customers meaningful cost advantages relative to delivered hydrogen by avoiding transportation and handling costs associated with trucked-in supply. Having demonstrated commercial viability at the unit level, we are now advancing multi-modular configurations to address large-scale industrial hydrogen dem...

Hong Kong AI drug discovery firm Insilico Medicine Cayman TopCo is stepping up the quest to harness artificial intelligence to extend human life. The company, whose stock has doubled since its December market debut , is working with a US partner to develop what they expect to be among the first AI foundation models dedicated to human longevity science. The venture with closely held Human Life Foundation Models Inc. aims to build an AI system that can identify disease risks earlier and accelerate the discovery of therapies. The push reflects a broader shift in the health care and pharmaceutical sectors, where large AI models are starting to play a bigger role. The opportunity is massive: UBS Group AG estimates the global “longevity industry” could reach $8 trillion by 2030. The companies plan to make their AI model available commercially to potential customers such as researchers and medical firms. That would mark an expansion for Insilico, which has focused on AI drug discovery in areas such as pain, obesity, metabolic disorders, oncology and immunology. Still, it’s early days for AI in medicine, with no fully AI-discovered drugs yet reaching the market. Proving the drugs are safe and effective in human trials is a costly and drawn-out process, and multiple high-flying startups have run into clinical failures and terminated programs. Anti-aging therapies could be even riskier as they could take years — if not decades — to show an effect. Because aging is not currently classified as a disease, it also lacks clear standards for what constitutes a successful treatment. Insilico has developed drugs that it says could have “dual use,” meaning they are designed to tackle a specific disease, but may also have anti-aging properties. Others have pursued treatments for age-related diseases such as dementia and cataracts. For the new partnership, Insilico will contribute technology such as computational algorithms. Human Life Foundation, a newly formed entity spun out of San D...

Quantinuum Inc. , a quantum computing company backed by Honeywell International Inc. , is seeking to raise $1.05 billion in its US initial public offering, capitalizing on investor enthusiasm for the technology. The company plans to market about 21 million shares for $45 and $50 each, according to its filing Tuesday with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. At the top of that range, Quantinuum would have a market value of $12.7 billion based on the outstanding shares listed in its filing. Quantinuum makes powerful quantum computers that are capable of solving complex tasks beyond the abilities of traditional processors. Quantum computers have the potential to make exponential leaps in computing, necessary in artificial intelligence. The company is developing platforms for use in fields such as chemistry, machine learning, cybersecurity, finance and drug discovery. It counts companies such as Amgen Inc. and Mitsui & Co. as early users and collaborators, the filing shows. “We believe that we are executing a roadmap to the first commercial-scale, fully fault-tolerant quantum computer before the end of this decade, the Apollo system,” Chief Executive Officer Rajeeb Hazra wrote in a letter to investors included in the filing. The Broomfield, Colorado-based company had a net loss of $136.6 million on revenue of $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, compared with a net loss of $30.5 million on revenue of $19.1 million a year earlier, according to its filing . The artificial intelligence frenzy that’s powered the broader market over the past three years stoked a rally in quantum computing stocks that reached a peak in October before seeing some selling pressure this year.

Stord Inc. , a logistics technology startup, raised $250 million in a new funding round to expand its fulfillment operation and help merchants better compete with Amazon.com Inc. The financing, which Stord is set to announce on Tuesday, values the firm at $3 billion. Kleiner Perkins , Founders Fund and Strike Capital were among the investors that participated in the round, the company said. Founded in 2015, Stord has positioned itself as a partner to help retailers manage inventory as well as the checkout and fulfillment process, at a time when many businesses struggle to match the fast, affordable shipping offered by Amazon. Amazon’s advantage is not its payments system or product selection, said Sean Henry, Stord’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “It’s all because we trust we’re going to buy it now and get it tomorrow,” he said. “That’s what infrastructure we want to deliver to every other independent brand.” Stord said it currently operates nearly 100 warehouses globally. The Atlanta-based company plans to use the new funding to expand that network, as well as to invest in artificial intelligence and robotics initiatives meant to streamline the process of handling customer orders. Alongside the funding, the startup announced the launch of Stord Labs, a facility designed to test the robotics initiatives before rolling them out to sites. Henry said the company is working with more than five robotics vendors, but didn’t name the companies. Stord said it processes more than $15 billion in annual gross merchandise value across more than 1,000 customers. The company has also completed eight acquisitions to date.

When Bitcoin is running higher, it's easy for investors to get caught up in the excitement and start buying anything remotely tied to crypto. But history has shown that not every crypto stock is created equal. Some own the picks and shovels. Others are simply trying to survive the next mining cycle. Today, a ton of miners are struggling to survive the next cycle, including today’s Bear of the Day. I’m talking about Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) BitFuFu (FUFU). On the surface, the company checks a lot of boxes. It provides Bitcoin mining and cloud mining services, has relationships with major industry players, and benefits when Bitcoin prices move higher. The problem is that crypto mining remains one of the most brutally competitive businesses on the planet. Every time Bitcoin rallies, miners rush to add capacity. New machines come online, network difficulty rises, and the economics get tougher. What looks like a windfall today can quickly become a margin squeeze tomorrow. The halving event only amplifies that challenge by cutting mining rewards in half while operating costs continue to rise. BitFuFu Inc. Price and Consensus BitFuFu Inc. price-consensus-chart | BitFuFu Inc. Quote Investors also need to remember that BitFuFu isn't just a bet on Bitcoin. It's a leveraged bet on Bitcoin mining economics. If Bitcoin rises 20%, that doesn't automatically mean profits rise 20%. Factors such as electricity costs, machine efficiency, hosting expenses, and network hash rate all play major roles in determining profitability. Estimates have been moving in the wrong direction when you look out towards next year while this year’s numbers have bounced all over the place. Our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has gone from 12 cents to 16 to 7 to 14 over the last ninety days. The current year started as a 27-cent profit, then moved to a 6-cent loss before ticking back up to a 7-cent gain. That means that next year earnings are forecast to shrink 52%. BitFuFu is in the Fina...
Gold stocks have been shining lately, but not all gold miners are created equal.

Gold stocks have been shining lately, but not all gold miners are created equal. Some are simply riding the wave of higher bullion prices, while others are executing at a level that allows them to turn those higher prices into explosive earnings growth. That's where today’s Bull of the Day stands out. I’m talking about Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) Orla Mining (ORLA). The company has quietly transformed itself from a single-asset producer into a growing mid-tier gold story. Its flagship Camino Rojo operation in Mexico continues to generate strong cash flow, while recent acquisitions have expanded its development pipeline and long-term production profile. In a market where investors are increasingly demanding both growth and profitability, Orla is checking both boxes. Analysts are beginning to take notice as well. Over the last sixty days, three analysts have increased earnings estimates for this year while two have done so for next year. The bullish moves have increased our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Current Year from $1.44 to $1.64 while next year’s number is up from $1.54 to $1.69. Orla Mining Ltd. Price and Consensus Orla Mining Ltd. price-consensus-chart | Orla Mining Ltd. Quote A quick look at the Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Chart helps outline the opportunity here. While gold prices rose, estimates continued higher but there’s been a disconnect recently. After gold prices peaked, ORLA shares have retreated well off all-time highs while estimates continue to rise. When you get that gap, stocks tend to catch back up over the long run. The potential reward here is not without risk. Gold prices remain the biggest variable. A sharp decline in bullion would pressure margins and investor sentiment across the sector. The company also faces the normal operational and permitting risks that come with mining. But for investors looking for exposure to precious metals without buying the metal itself, Orla offers a compelling combination of production growth, expand...

May 2026 has been a rollercoaster month for companies in the quantum computing industry, as leaders like D-Wave Quantum Inc. NYSE: QBTS, IonQ Inc. NYSE: IONQ, and Rigetti Computing NASDAQ: RGTI fell for much of the month, despite some promising Q1 results, before surging sharply toward month-end. The swing upwards may be due to a recent announcement that the federal government is interested in providing incentives to a handful of domestic quantum firms. The U.S. Department of Commerce recently signed letters of intent with nine quantum computing companies—including both foundries and broader computing names—to provide more than $2 billion in funding through the CHIPS and Science Act. Get D-Wave Quantum alerts: Sign Up The immediate move upward in share price is to be expected, but investors will want to know what this might mean for the industry over the longer term. A closer look at the three companies above—among the biggest names in quantum and established leaders in the field—may provide more context. D-Wave: A Big Boost to a Cash Pile That's Already Sizable D-Wave is slated to receive $100 million in funding from the Commerce Department as part of the incentives plan. Specifically, this funding will go toward advancements in both annealing and gate-model systems. D-Wave Quantum Today QBTS D-Wave Quantum $26.63 -2.77 (-9.42%) 52-Week Range $12.75 ▼ $46.75 Price Target $34.67 Add to Watchlist The firm has distinguished itself among quantum companies by taking this dual-focused approach, and an influx of cash may make a big difference in its timeline as it tries to balance technological developments in two areas at once. Cash has not been a major concern for D-Wave for quite some time, as the company now has a solid history of building up strong cash reserves (and deploying that cash for key acquisitions, among other things). While $100 million will certainly help, the company was not hurting for capital. In this way, it's possible that the federal influx will be ...

A Hong Kong police chief inspector has been jailed for 2½ years for accepting more than HK$1.1 million (US$140,400) in cash and gifts from a businessman in exchange for ending a criminal investigation against him and divulging details about two other cases. Tsuen Wan Court, which is now handling District Court cases, on Tuesday sentenced Ho Siu-tung on two counts each of accepting advantages as a public servant and misconduct in public office over his illicit dealings with Qu Haipeng between August 2021 and January 2023. The court heard that the 40-year-old officer, who has been suspended, was marked for promotion to superintendent before he started taking bribes to keep up an affluent lifestyle beyond his monthly income of HK$100,000. Advertisement In his mitigation letter, Ho admitted that he had become Qu’s “private servant” after failing to resist the temptation of quick cash and benefits. He also revealed that his mother had died shortly before his conviction, while his wife had initiated divorce proceedings following his arrest. Advertisement Deputy District Judge Terence Wai Hon-hei cited Ho’s supervisor as saying the defendant had made exceptional contributions to maintaining law and order in the city with his “extraordinary” and “innovative” ideas on crime detection and prevention.

Micron Technology could more than double from here as investors pay more attention to its long-term agreements, even though the semiconductor stock has already surged massively, according to UBS. The investment bank has a buy rating on the memory name. It raised its price target on shares to $1,625 from $535, implying 116% upside from Friday's close. "In contrast to prior periods where offtake agreements were simply volume based, these new 'enhanced' LTAs now incorporate longer durations, fixed volume commitments and - most importantly - a partially fixed pricing framework," analyst Timothy Arcuri said in a note to clients. "The market will start to put a more 'normal' multiple on the stock and MU will continue to re-rate higher." Those long-term agreements, which usually last between three and five years, have two benefits for memory suppliers like Micron, according to the analyst. For one, the deals offer a "smoother" earnings and revenue profile and higher cross-cycle ROIC, he noted. They also provide investors with "improved visibility into now-committed customer demand," Arcuri said. To be sure, there is also potential for the stock to fall sharply if demand for high bandwidth memory chip falters, Arcuri said. His downside scenario sees the stock falling to $250 — or 66% below Friday's close. UBS' base case falls in line with consensus on Wall Street. Of the 46 analysts covering Micron Technology, 43 have a buy or strong buy on the stock, LSEG data shows. Shares have risen 704% over the past 12 months.
