據報屈臣氏集團計劃在香港及倫敦兩地上市，集資約156億元。 英國《金融時報》引述消息報道，長和旗下屈臣氏集團，可能今年底之前在本港及英國倫敦雙重上市，目前並未決定主要上市地。集資金額約20億美元，相當於約156億港元，市值300億美元。 屈臣氏集團行政總裁倪文玲未有回應上市事宜，只表示在地緣政治局勢不明朗下，集團的業務模式會兼顧穩定性及靈活性。

存储成本飙升影响手机及IoT业务，汽车、AI投入增长下，市场对小米分歧加剧 2026年5月8日，陕西西安，一家小米之家旗舰店。图：视觉中国 【财新网】 存储成本飙升、汽车出货不及预期、AI投入增长下，市场对小米分歧加剧。小米集团一季度录得营收为991.42亿元，同比下滑10.9%；同期经调整净利润为60.72亿元，同比下滑43.1%。 5月26日晚间，小米集团（ 01810.HK ）发布一季度财报披露上述数据。公司营收、利润表现均低于市场预期，LSEG分析师此前对小米一季度营收的平均预期为1034亿元，经调整净利润平均预期为64亿元。 市场悲观情绪已体现在股价中。5月26日，小米股价跌0.80%，收报29.76港元/股。自去年9月下旬新品发布会达到区间高点以来，小米股价自每股近60港元一路下跌，目前几近折半，市值蒸发超8000亿港元。摩根大通提出，公司股价已接近底部，但在内存价格稳定或海外电动汽车业务有所进展之前，难以有推动股价上涨的催化剂。

(May 26): Micron Technology topped US$1 trillion (RM3.9 trillion) in market value for the first time on Tuesday, crowning a dizzying rally that has cemented the largest US memory chipmaker as one of the standout winners of the AI boom. Micron's shares were last up 18% at US$886.6 — a record high — with Tuesday's boost coming after brokerage UBS increased its price target on the stock to US$1,625 from US$535, which is the highest among the 46 brokerages covering the company, according to LSEG data. The milestone, which underscores memory chips' central role in AI infrastructure, also reflects a broader shift in the AI trade as investors seek out companies that can benefit from Big Tech's massive spending plans after initially crowding into makers of graphics processors. South Korea's Samsung Electronics, the world's top memory chipmaker, has already hit the US$1 trillion milestone, while SK Hynix is also closing in. While Nvidia makes the powerful processors used to train and run AI models, Micron mainly produces memory chips used to store and move data. The company's ascent gives the US a strong contender in a memory-chip race that has largely been led by Asia so far. Shares of Micron, long viewed as one of the semiconductor industry's most cyclical names, have jumped more than eightfold in the last 12 months, thanks to strong earnings and supply chain constraints that have given it pricing power. With technology companies racing toward artificial general intelligence, customers are committing to longer-term data center investments that have fueled a ​sharp rise in demand ​for advanced memory ⁠and storage, creating a supply crunch and driving price increases. Micron has said its entire 2026 high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chip supply is already sold out, a sign of how far demand is outstripping capacity. Its next-generation HBM4 products are now in production. The company emerged as one of the biggest institutional favorites in the first quarter of the year, according t...

AI Startup Says It Will Pay People $2,000 A Month to Masturbate... Yes, Really Authored by Jason Nelson via Decrypt.co, Joi AI is hiring 10 “masturbation consultants” at $2,000 for a month to test an AI-guided masturbation feature and document its effects on stress, sleep, mood, and confidence. The feature uses mood-matched AI voice sessions, and consultants would submit written feedback and questionnaires directly to the company. Joi AI says the campaign is intended to collect product feedback while drawing attention to AI’s growing role in sexual wellness and digital intimacy. Joi AI says it will pay people $2,000 a month to masturbate. Yes, you read that right. The AI companion startup is hiring 10 “masturbation consultants” to test a feature called Daily Guided Masturbation , which uses mood-matched AI voice sessions to guide users through the experience. Participants would document how regular use affects stress, sleep quality, mood, and confidence. The four-week role is open to adults 18 and older in the U.S. and the U.K. “The role is real, and we’ve had great responses since the posting went live,” Joi AI Head of Brand and Communication Julie Levin told Decrypt. we’re hiring 10 Masturbation Consultants $2,000/month to test our new Daily Guided Masturbation feature and document the effects on stress, sleep and mood yes it’s real yes you get paid — Joi AI (@joi___ai) May 18, 2026 The listing describes ideal candidates as “articulate, observant, and impossible to blush”—people who can describe sensations “better than a sommelier describes a wine.” The posting also promises flexible scheduling, and “the most interesting ‘What do you do for a living?’ answer at any party.” Joi AI is an online platform that includes AI-generated avatars, voice interactions, and personalized chat experiences built around companionship and intimacy.

Luis Alvarez/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investment thesis The Joint Corp (NASDAQ: JYNT ) is transforming itself from a traditional clinic operator into an asset-light franchisor focused on collecting recurring royalties. While the market remains skeptical due to declining clinic count and negative comp sales, I think the market may be underestimating how much the refranchising strategy could improve margins and free cash flow over the next few years. The core business still needs to prove it can return to consistent growth, but if management successfully stabilizes comps and completes the transition to a pure franchise model, the current valuation looks attractive. Leader in the chiropractic clinics industry The Joint has chiropractic clinics, which is a fairly simple business, but in this case, the company is looking to scale the business by creating clinics where appointments and insurance aren't required. Also, their locations are typically in high-traffic shopping malls, so I see it as a chiropractic clinic with a focus like quick service restaurants or a gym franchise, where the key is to be everywhere and reduce barriers for potential new clients. This approach seems to work because management estimates that 41% of new patients in 2025 were first-time chiropractic users. So, it seems that the convenience of their clinics attracts those people who had never before thought about going to a chiropractor. The Joint Corp investor presentation The sector is highly fragmented, which makes sense because it's not the typical business where you see large chains of clinics. Rather, it consists of independent clinics with a single owner. The Joint estimates that there are currently more than 38,000 independent chiropractic practices in the United States, while most of the large chains still operate fewer than 150 clinics compared to The Joint's 943 centers, making it the largest operator in the sector by a significant margin. Even so, the company estimates that it onl...

澳洲航空雄心勃勃的“日出计划”遭遇新的挫折。 空客 公司于5月25日确认，由于供应链问题，首架定制版A350-1000ULR超远程客机的交付时间将从原定的2026年底推迟至2027年4月。 这并非“日出计划”首次延误。该项目最初于2017年提出，目标是开通从悉尼直飞伦敦和纽约的全球最长商业航线，单程飞行时间超过20小时。新冠疫情及随后的供应链危机已使时间表一再推后。此次交付延迟，意味着原定于2027年中期启动的首飞计划很可能被迫延后。 尽管如此，澳航股价在消息公布后不跌反涨，周一收涨约4.9%。市场分析认为，投资者对此次推迟反应积极，主要是基于财务逻辑的考量。每架空客A350-1000的目录价格超过3.5亿美元，12架飞机的订单代表了超过40亿美元的巨额资本支出。交付推迟意味着这笔巨额资本支出将在未来数年才逐步支付，从而在短期内减少了公司的现金流出和折旧成本，改善了近期的自由现金流。 澳航方面则表示，尽管首架飞机交付延迟，但预计随后的四架飞机将“快速跟进”交付。公司有信心通过后续的加速，到2027年11月使整个机队的交付进度回到原定计划。澳航同时确认，用于“日出计划”的首架A350-1000ULR目前已在法国图卢兹进入喷漆车间。 此外，澳航发布了强劲的半年报业绩，也为股价提供了支撑。财报显示其税前基本利润同比增长5%至14.56亿澳元。多家机构看好该股，大部分分析师给予“买入”评级。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

Wolterk/iStock Editorial via Getty Images My current position on General Mills ( GIS ) is a hold, but not a place for new money today. The major stock price decline has already taken place, and the dividend remains covered by company profits. Management appears to recognize the challenges caused by changing consumer habits and is responding to those pressures. Investors still need proof these changes will stabilize sales, improve profit margins, and stop the decline in the stock price. Company Challenges Over the last year, General Mills stock price declined nearly 40% by mid-May . Investors have been reacting to several challenges facing the company. Inflation pushed many consumers toward lower-cost store brands as families looked for ways to reduce grocery bills. Consumers are changing eating habits and the growing use of GLP-1 weight loss drugs has some users eating less, skipping meals, or changing eating habits toward healthier foods. These pressures have slowed sales growth and squeezed profit margins, leading investors to question how quickly the company can adjust. The good news for investors is General Mills remains profitable while management works through these challenges. The company continues paying its dividend and still benefits from decades of brand recognition across many of its products. For investors, the question is no longer whether the company survives, but whether management can stabilize sales and rebuild confidence in the business. Stock Price Fell Faster Than Company Value Yahoo Finance and company financial filings. Investors have already sold down the stock price from near $55 to the current price near $33. The book value listed in the last quarterly report was $16.98. That means last year’s stock price near $55 traded at a little over 3x book value, while today’s stock price near $33 trades at a little under 2x book value. The market has clearly lowered expectations for the company as investors wait to see whether General Mills can stabi...

Key Points Mizuho doubles down on Micron stock today -- with implications for Marvell. Marvell itself receives three price target hikes and a new buy rating on Wall Street. 10 stocks we like better than Marvell Technology › Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) 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. 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 » Mizuho loves memory stocks Today's first catalyst comes from Mizuho, which this morning reiterated its outperform rating and $800 price target on Micron(NASDAQ: MU). 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.

In addition to Micron's boost, Marvell received three price target hikes this morning (from Cantor Fitzgerald, Morgan Stanley, and Susquehanna) and an upgrade to ...

In Spotify’s rapidly evolving quest to become the home of everything audio-related, the company announced on Tuesday that it’s bringing narrated long-form magazine articles to its app. The articles will be available to Premium subscribers as part of their 15 hours of audiobook listening time per month. Free users can opt to purchase standalone articles for $1.99. The streaming service said that, starting today, there will be over 650 long-form magazine articles (available in English only) from a collection of stories that includes publications like Rolling Stone, The Atlantic, Vogue, Variety, Billboard, Vibe, GQ, Wired, Vanity Fair, and Pitchfork. Spotify says the articles were produced in-house by its audiobooks team and complement Spotify’s existing audio offerings, like podcasts. Spotify tells TechCrunch that the narrated articles will use a mix of human and digital voice narration and that the portion of the articles using digital voice narration will be clearly labelled for users. Beyond being another means of bringing monetizable audio to its app, Spotify believes the addition of articles could encourage users to try a different type of listening beyond music, which could ultimately lead them to try other forms of long-form listening, like its potentially more profitable audiobooks. “By bringing shorter form content into the mix, we’re meeting audiences where they are to help build healthy listening habits, ultimately growing engagement with books over time,” noted Colleen Prendergast, Licensing Lead at Spotify Audiobooks, in a blog post about the launch. At present, Spotify offers audiobook listening hours to its paid subscribers as well as “top-up” hours when the listening time runs out. There’s also a $9.99 per month Audiobook Access plan for Spotify’s free music listeners, and a $11.99 per month Audiobooks+ plan that doubles the listening hours. The addition follows a deluge of news from the streamer in recent weeks. This saw the company take large leaps i...

格隆汇5月26日｜据华尔街日报，美国军方官员透露，美国海军已恢复协助船只穿越霍尔木兹海峡。这些官员表示，一艘满载200万桶原油的希腊籍超级油轮，在穿越阿曼海岸附近的水域时，获得了美国海军的引导护航。这艘船自3月初以来一直滞留在中东海湾地区，目前正驶往印度以交付其货物。此次护航行动标志着“自由计划”的重启。该计划是美国此前发起的一项旨在引导船只穿越这一重要航运通道的倡议，但在启动约36小时后曾一度中止。官员们表示，美国海军计划在未来几天内，协助包括超级油轮和集装箱船在内的约十余艘船只穿越该水域。

My wife and I are Starbucks people. Not in the "I need my venti triple-shot caramel macchiato to function" way, but in the "this is our road trip stop of choice" way. We've racked up enough points over the years to feel financially responsible about our habit, and Starbucks ( SBUX ) has consistently impressed us with how it updates its menu to stay trendy and relatively healthy. It's not a health food store by any means, but it makes us feel a lot better than a gas station run. (Though we'll never turn down a Buc-ee's when the opportunity presents itself.) Here's the problem: for years, we've loved being Starbucks customers but refused to become Starbucks shareholders. According to Peter Lynch , I’m making a mistake. You're supposed to invest in what you know. We know Starbucks. We use Starbucks. We watch Gen Z flock to their Refreshers and see them constantly evolve their food offerings. But the stock has been hammered for years, and watching a company you love underperform the market while you're actively giving them money is a special kind of painful. But 2026 is different. Starbucks is up more than 22% year-to-date, and while multiple factors are driving the turnaround, I think we can point to one unexpected catalyst: Khloé Kardashian's popcorn. The Khloud Factor When the influencer’s Khloud protein popcorn landed in Starbucks snack cases in January, it didn't seem like a big deal. Just another celebrity food product trying to cash in on name recognition. But according to a Los Angeles Times report published Thursday, sales of Khloud's kettle corn flavor nearly doubled on Amazon ( AMZN ) in the month following its Starbucks debut. Performance picked up at Target ( TGT ) stores too. The brand has now added a second flavor, white cheddar, to Starbucks shelves. Dana Pellicano, Starbucks' senior vice president of global product experience, explained the snack strategy to Bloomberg: customers during slower afternoon hours are "probably not looking for a packaged meal...

Investors in United States Oil Fund (Symbol: USO) saw new options become available today, for the June 10th expiration. At Stock Options Channel , our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the USO options chain for the new June 10th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest. The put contract at the $133.00 strike price has a current bid of $5.00. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $133.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $128.00 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of USO, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $137.59/share today. Because the $133.00 strike represents an approximate 3% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 62%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 3.76% return on the cash commitment, or 91.48% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost. Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for United States Oil Fund, and highlighting in green where the $133.00 strike is located relative to that history: Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $140.00 strike price has a current bid of $6.40.

巴克莱分析师在一份研究报告中表示，在增长率放缓的环境下，奢侈品公司需要重新思考其战略。在疫情后的高峰期过后，该行业一直在应对高端商品需求长达数年的低迷。“近期的放缓突显了消费者行为的转变，并要求重新思考既定的战略手册，“他们写道。这些分析师表示，这些公司应专注于其核心业务，减少对非奢侈品活动的敞口。他们补充说，这可能需要进行资产剥离，例如开云集团出售其美容业务。他们表示，目前的格局需要不断的创新和新产品，以及更本地化的产品供应，以应对区域客户的差异。“成功将取决于品牌在保持质量、传统和工艺的同时，适应不断变化的消费者群体的能力，“巴克莱表示。

Investors in Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (Symbol: TTWO) saw new options begin trading today, for the November 20th expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 178 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a potential opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration.
