Uh, and I think I hope we have a picture of this thing. Uh, which was very blue in the mock of what they released. It's very smooth and it feels like very un Ferrari and I don't think people are a huge fans of this thing. 00:23 Speaker B No, I mean, if you look at the reaction online, I mean, journalists have been kind of like trying to be fair about this. I wrote about design departure, a surprising, 00:31 Speaker C Yeah, 00:32 Speaker B surprising sort of 00:34 Speaker C diplomatic. 00:35 Speaker B look for this car that's so unlike any Ferrari I've ever seen, right? The reaction online has been quite negative in terms of just shock and and just awe like what is going on here. But I think if we talk about the car, it's meant who's it targeting? It's not targeting the current Ferrari owner. and I think that's the big thing that they want to talk about is we're approaching a new owner, we're approaching, maybe it's uh people in Asia, China, it's younger people with more tech forward people. That's what they're looking for, but I mean it's such a weird looking car. 00:54 Speaker A All right, so we kind of now know what the reaction is to the car, 640 grand. Um again, it feel so Jony 01:00 Speaker A Ive's firm was involved in the design exterior and interior. It feels in a lot of ways. I saw people making this comment like this is what the Apple car would have been if Apple had gone on ahead with it. But I guess you got to see the car and talk to the company in a vacuum before there'd been a public reaction to it. 01:11 Speaker C So you saw it in person? 01:12 Speaker B No, no, not 01:13 Speaker A But like, but like you saw a picture.

May 26 (Reuters) - Shares of Micron Technology climbed about 14.2% in early trading on Tuesday after brokerage UBS sharply raised its target price for the stock citing stronger AI demand and long-term supply deals, taking the chipmaker closer to $1 trillion in market value. The revised target - the highest among the 46 brokerages covering the stock - implies a potential valuation of close to $1.8 trillion for the company by the next twelve months, compared with a market capitalizationof $846.93 billion as of close on Friday. • UBS raised the price target more than threefold to $1,625 from the earlier $535, compared with the stock's Friday close of $751. • The brokerage said the emergence of long-term agreements across the industry, locking in volumes and partially fixing prices could stabilize Micron's historically volatile earnings profile. • These deals are expected to cover a growing portion of DRAM supply, providing greater demand visibility and reducing pricing swings, according to the brokerage. • There was "no reason" Micron should trade much differently from Nvidia on a price-to-earnings basis as long-term agreements and AI-driven demand reshape the company's earnings and visibility,UBS said. • The brokerage added that hyperscalers are increasingly willing to trade pricing flexibility for long-term supply assurance, a shift that underpins the contracts and helps stabilize the sector. • As a result, UBS expects Micron to command a higher valuation multiple, moving closer to other semiconductor peers as investors gain confidence in its longer-term earnings durability. • Micron was trading at 8.42 times expected earnings over the next 12 months, compared with 21.1 for the benchmark S&P 500 index and 24.66 for the Nasdaq 100.

Key Points The 4% rule is designed to support 30 years of retirement savings. It has you withdrawing 4% of your savings during the first year of retirement and adjusting future withdrawals for inflation. The rule might lock you into spending less than you can really afford. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › For decades, the 4% rule has been treated as one of the gold standards of retirement planning. And the idea is simple. If you withdraw 4% of your savings balance during your first year of retirement and adjust that amount annually for inflation, your savings should last roughly 30 years under typical market conditions. A big reason the 4% rule exists is to reduce the risk of retirees running out of money. But while the rule may be effective in that regard, it opens the door to another big risk. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » You may end up spending less than what you can afford It's definitely not a good idea to overspend in retirement, because then you risk depleting your nest egg in your lifetime. At the same time, following the 4% rule could put you in the opposite position where you underspend during retirement and lose out on certain experiences because of it. Part of the problem is that the 4% rule is fairly rigid. It doesn't account for the fact that you may want to spend more during your early retirement years, when your health might be optimal. It also doesn't give you the license to increase your spending to take advantage of strong markets. After all, you're supposed to start by withdrawing 4% of your IRA or 401(k) and then make inflation adjustments only. That doesn't necessarily allow for a six-week trek through Europe during your third year of retirement, or a follow-up trip during your 10th year if the market goes gangbusters. ...

Analog Devices ADI is benefiting from AI-related demand with revenues reaching a record $3.62 billion, up 37% year over year, and earnings rose to a record $3.09. The growth was supported by record demand and disciplined execution with year-over-year growth across all end markets, led by Industrial and Communications. ADI’s Communications revenues were up 79% year over year, where the data center business accounted for more than 75% of that segment. Data center revenues grew more than 90% year over year, driven by both optical and power portfolios, which suggests ADI is benefiting from the full stack of AI infrastructure needs rather than a single product category. Management said the business is on a steep growth trajectory and that confidence in continued growth into fiscal 2027 is increasing. As AI systems are pushing higher power density, faster data movement, and greater system complexity, ADI’s analog, mixed-signal, power and optical offerings are getting a boost. ADI’s hybrid manufacturing model, supply-chain flexibility and long R&D cycle are helping it capture this demand surge. Given these factors, ADI is able to improve profitability. ADI’s gross margin expanded to 73% on an adjusted basis, expanding 360 basis points (bps) year over year, while adjusted operating margin reached 49%, expanding 780 bps. ADI is also widening its AI power platform through the acquisition of Empower Semiconductor. Empower Semiconductor’s integrated voltage regulator and silicon capacitor technology as a way to reduce power footprint and improve response for volatile AI workloads, reinforcing ADI’s push from board-level power delivery toward chip-level power management. How Competitors Fare Against ADI Broadcom AVGO is a leader in the domain of custom silicon solutions for data centers. Broadcom’s advanced 3.5D XDSiP packaging platform is critical to ensure the performance and efficiency of custom AI XPUs. Broadcom’s Semiconductor segment, which accounts for its custom silicon ...

Audi provided flights from Washington, DC, to Munich, Germany, and accommodation so Ars could see its new Q, as well as drive its new RS5, which you can read about later this week. While we were there, we spoke with the CEO. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. MUNICH—One of the defining car industry trends of the early 21st century was the global, or world, car . Spread the development costs out across multiple markets, the thinking went, and efficiency takes care of the rest. At least that was the idea; post-COVID, post- Evergreen , and in a world now erupting into trade wars and actual shooting wars , plans need to change. "With Audi we have to be flexible on a global perspective," said Audi AG CEO Gernot Döllner, and the new Q9 is an example of that. "It's really the car where US requirements were at the center of the product development process. It's dedicated to the US for the first time. Global launch, not Europe and then US. And for the Q9, it's the US first and then it's also dominated the volume we expect by the US American market. And then after the US, we will have the global launch of that car," he said. Yes, that means bigger and better cup holders that can handle the insulated mugs that everyone had to have, as we saw from the Q9's interior . But it also means paying more attention to things like the JD Power surveys and so on. For example, for the Q9, "we rearranged the smart door panels we have in our A5, A6, and Q5 cars and came back to dedicated switches, optimized the interior cooling, and of course seating, the roof concept, all that with a key customer focus," Döllner said.

While heavily skewed by a rebound from 2022 lows, eBay’s (EBAY) net income grew an average of 96.7% over three years, yet its earnings per share surged 101.1%. This gap is the denominator effect in action, where a shrinking share count amplifies shareholder returns. Is this a sign of a flawless machine, or a company buying time? The result has been a 176% total stock return over the last three years. This robust performance is the result of a dual-engine approach. It is driven by the core business’s fundamental profit growth, combined with the compounding boost from systematic share buybacks. Is the core business actually growing? Absolutely. Think of eBay as a global flea market, connecting millions to buy and sell unique items, from rare sneakers to vintage car parts, all online. The company generated $2.2 billion in operational cash flow while reinvesting a disciplined $486 million into capex. This high-efficiency model directly funds a net shareholder yield of 5.6% (as of May 2026). It is a structure designed for capital return. However, this engine is showing signs of strain. The company’s forward guidance for Q2 revenue, GMV, and EPS points to a deceleration from its recent strong performance. How sustainable is this capital return program? The financial foundation is manageable, but the mechanics are stretched. An interest coverage ratio of 9.4x shows that debt service is not an immediate concern, but a funding ratio of 0.6 indicates that only 60% of the shareholder payout is covered by annual organic cash flow. This is a critical vulnerability. It means eBay must tap into its balance sheet reserves or issue new debt to fund the remaining 40% of its buybacks and dividends. In a higher-for-longer interest rate environment, borrowing to buy back stock becomes increasingly expensive. If debt costs rise or free cash flow dips even slightly, this buyback engine will be forced to decelerate, stripping away the EPS growth premium that has driven recent stock perform...

Iran's 90-Day Internet Blackout Ends As NetBlocks Confirms Partial Restoration Internet monitoring firm NetBlocks has confirmed our Monday report that, after 88 days of "near-total isolation" from the global internet, Iran has seen a "partial restoration to internet connectivity." 📈 Confirmed: Live metrics show a partial restoration to internet connectivity in #Iran on day 88, after 2093 hours of near-total isolation from international networks, the longest nationwide internet shutdown in modern history. It is unclear if the restoration will be sustained. pic.twitter.com/Fi3z3UCMWp — NetBlocks (@netblocks) May 26, 2026 The timing of the partial restoration of internet connectivity is notable and may only suggest incremental progress as Washington and Tehran try to solidify a peace deal. Energy experts have warned that if the Hormuz maritime chokepoint remains closed through June, the global oil market could face a disastrous supply cliff as temporary buffers, floating storage, and emergency stockpile releases lose their ability to cap crude prices. Revisiting our Monday report: Iranian Presidency Orders Reopening of International Internet Access After Nearly 90-Day Blackout We cited Reuters, which said that Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian issued an order to reopen international internet access after a three-month blackout. However, we added a caveat to readers that this still needed confirmation. In our view, a partial internet restoration suggests that Tehran may be trying to project a return to normalcy as U.S.-Iran talks continue. It is certainly a positive diplomatic indicator. Perhaps the Trump team has given Tehran a guarantee that it won't pursue its color-revolution social-instability operation. Again, a positive diplomatic indicator.

tupungato Hyatt ( H ) plans to host its first investor day since 2023 on May 28 in Chicago. The hotel giant is expected to provide an update on current trends ahead of the World Cup in the U.S. and discuss long-term strategy. Morgan Stanley analyst Stephen Grambling noted that during prior analyst days, Hyatt ( H ) management focused on expectations related to asset sell-downs, capital expenditures (particularly regarding owned assets), and managed and franchise earnings mix. This year, Grambking and his team anticipate the focus to shift to other aspects of the Hyatt ( H ) business following the ~$5.7B of real estate disposition proceeds since the company's first asset sell-down commitment in 2017, which has shifted the asset-light mix shift to over 80%. The firm anticipates management to focus on the latest net unit growth algorithm and dynamics related to free cash flow generation and conversion. It is expected that loyalty-related growth drivers like World of Hyatt updates and co-branded credit card fees will also be discussed. Hyatt ( H ) management is also expected to discuss how the hotel operator is implementing AI tools, particularly agentic AI. Morgan Stanley kept an Overweight rating on Hyatt ( H ), with Grambling noting that it continues to screen as having the best risk-adjusted return in the firm's lodging coverage universe. "We expect strength in core RevPAR to drive a positive update at the analyst day on near-term trends," previewed Grambling. Shares of Hyatt ( H ) were up 1.7% in morning trading on Tuesday.

Marvell Technology (MRVL +5.32%) stock soared 8.4% through 9:55 a.m. ET Tuesday morning on improved sentiment for semiconductor stocks. You can thank Japanese megabank Mizuho for the boost. Mizuho loves memory stocks Today's first catalyst comes from Mizuho, which this morning reiterated its outperform rating and $800 price target on Micron (MU +17.87%). Citing strong demand for computer memory driven by the growth of artificial intelligence, Mizuho predicts the memory market will remain 30% to 50% undersupplied throughout 2026 and 2027. Demand for high-bandwidth memory, in particular, could drive prices up by 70% to 100% next year, leading to vastly improved profits for Micron. Micron is, of course, one of the world's leading suppliers of high-bandwidth memory (HBM), which is based on DRAM chips that it manufactures. But here's the thing: While best known for its Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), Marvell also has a nice business building custom HBM architecture, enabling "up to 25% more area for compute, 33% greater memory capacity, and a 70% reduction in memory interface power." In other words, Marvell will almost certainly benefit from increased demand for Micron chips, especially as it collaborates directly with Micron (and SK Hynix and Samsung as well) in this market.

The UK has recorded its highest-ever May temperature for the second consecutive day, as thermometers hit 35C (95F) at Heathrow and Kew Gardens in London, the Met Office said. The latest high was recorded the day after the country’s provisional hottest meteorological spring temperature of 34.8C in Kew Gardens in south-west London. The previous May peak of 32.8C had stood since 1922. The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms across England earlier on Tuesday. Forecasters said isolated storms with lightning, hail and gusty winds could affect large parts of the country, from Bath and Reading to Lincoln and Sheffield. The Met Office said many areas would stay hot and sunny, but that there was potential for as much as 30mm of rainfall in the space of an hour in some parts. The warning will be in effect from 3pm to 10pm. Police reported two deaths over the bank holiday weekend. A 13-year-old boy died on Monday after getting into difficulty in a West Yorkshire reservoir. Police said he was pulled from the water and taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. South Yorkshire police said the body of a second boy had been found in the early hours of Tuesday after he was last seen entering the water at a park in Rotherham the day before. The country experienced a “tropical night” on Monday, defined as when temperatures do not fall below 20C. Kenley Airfield in south London recorded an overnight temperature of 21.3C. Many places across England and Wales will reach the heatwave threshold on Tuesday, and some will have experienced such conditions for five days by Wednesday, the Met office’s senior meteorologist, Becky Mitchell, said.

is transportation editor with 10+ years of experience who covers EVs, public transportation, and aviation. His work has appeared in The New York Daily News and City & State. Ferrari makes some of the fastest cars on the planet, so it’s anyone’s guess how the Italian automaker ended up being so incredibly late to the EV party. Long after most automakers have drastically scaled back their EV ambitions, cancelled battery-powered models, or curtailed factory plans, Ferrari emerges from the shadows with a real weird one: the all-electric Luce. Ferrari unveiled the Luce Monday at the Vela di Calatrava, a massive architectural sporting complex located on the outskirts of Rome. In many ways it’s the most anticipated and also the most over-hyped EV to come out since battery-powered models first arrived on the scene. An electric Ferrari! This is a huge deal! But the Luce looks almost nothing like a Ferrari. In fact, it looks more like something Apple would make. Which makes sense because the Luce was designed with help from LoveFrom, the design firm helmed by famed Apple designer Jony Ive and his partner Marc Newson. This is basically as close as we’ll get to an Apple car. Previous Next 1 / 6 Remember when Apple was going to make its own self-driving car? But instead the project lingered in development hell for years until Tim Cook eventually pulled the plug? Apple may have decided designing its own car wasn’t worth the effort, but Apple’s former lead designer clearly seems to have never fully abandoned the idea. By farming out the design to LoveFrom, Ferrari has essentially, and perhaps unwittingly resurrected the dream of an Apple car. The Luce could have easily have emerged from the design halls of Cupertino. The exterior is certainly smooth and rounded like an Ive-designed Apple product. The Autopian said it was akin to a Magic Mouse, and honestly, where’s the lie? (Fortunately, the charge port is not located on the underside of the Ferrari.) Ferrari fans are, understanda...
He was my Covid buddy Stephen doesn’t know that he was my Covid buddy. I’d sent my daughter to her dad’s house in rural Scotland so he was my evening companion and kept me sane. I know he was speaking to me directly but it felt like there was another person muddling through with me. I loved his wit, charm and an American perspective.

It was an exemplary takedown of Republican party apologists and Fox News, and their barely concealed hypocrisy and racism. His fury was blistering that met the moment and delivered with eloquence and humour poking fun at the failure of walls to keep those the US did not want out. Robert Lindsay, London Our nightly sanity check Colbert after the January 6 attack on the Capitol spoke for all of us who were outraged by the actions of Trump. His visible anger was just what we needed. Also Colbert during Covid was our nightly sanity check, we would not have made it without him. Eric Schmeckpeper, Acworth The most dangerous adversary After he announced the cancellation, when he announced “the gloves are off!”, CBS had unwittingly created for themselves, the most dangerous adversary: one with nothing to lose. He then proceeded to demonstrate it every night the rest of the time the show was on. That was the best example of that concept I’ve ever seen! Lenny Rothbart, New York Made him pop right out of the screen Hands down, when he discussed his faith both as interviewer and during his monologue. His genuine love of his religion made him pop right out of the screen. Stephen Cook, Washington It was like attending a concert I went to the last show before Christmas in ...
