The US is preparing offensive weapons to blind China’s military satellites in any future conflict, even as the two sides lack reliable channels to manage risks in an increasingly crowded orbit, defence analysts said on Tuesday.

The US is preparing offensive weapons to blind China’s military satellites in any future conflict, even as the two sides lack reliable channels to manage risks in an increasingly crowded orbit, defence analysts said on Tuesday. Kari Bingen, director of the Aerospace Security Project at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and a former US deputy under secretary of defence for intelligence, said that Washington was openly debating how to “hold at risk” the satellites that underpin Chinese targeting of American forces in any Indo-Pacific conflict. “We’re now having to think … how do we, the United States, hold those assets at risk, so that they can’t use space to target us on the ground,” Bingen told the CSIS event. “That is really starting to spur this much more public conversation on offence, or our ability to deny the other side the use of space.” Advertisement The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) now operates more than 500 intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) satellites, Bingen said, and has been “practising out in the Gobi Desert, targeting our ports, our ships, our airfields” by pairing space sensors with battle networks to close “kill chains” against US forces. Bingen also warned that Washington and Beijing lacked the basic safety dialogue that still exists between Washington and Moscow. Advertisement If a US satellite was on a collision course with a Chinese one, “we send an email. We don’t know if it gets answered. The onus is on our side to take that evasive manoeuvre”, she said.

Key Points Eos Energy is a young company doing big things. It just posted massive numbers, compelling one analyst to initiate coverage of the stock. 10 stocks we like better than Eos Energy Enterprises › Shares of Eos Energy Enterprises (NASDAQ: EOSE) surged on Tuesday, rallying 13% in early morning trading and closing the day up 8.3%. This company has developed zinc-based battery energy storage systems (BESS) as an alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries and is already sitting on a backlog worth of $600 million. A fresh analyst endorsement sent EOS stock soaring today. 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 » Eos Energy stock is gaining attention Analysts at Needham have initiated coverage of Eos Energy stock with a buy rating and a $11 price target. Needham released their rating just before the end of last week. The firm issued its rating late last week. With Eos Energy shares closing at $8.06 on May 21, Needham's target implied nearly 36% upside from the stock's closing price. Needham highlighted Eos Energy's strong position as a U.S.-based manufacturer of zinc batteries, noting that the company has reached a critical turning point in its commercial rollout. The firm believes Eos provides unique investment exposure to trends such as artificial intelligence (AI) power demand and utility-scale storage growth. With its technology already proven, the test for Eos now lies in its manufacturing execution. Why Eos is a stock to watch This analyst upgrade follows a massive earnings beat. Eos recently reported a surprise first-quarter djusted profit of $0.12 per share on 445% revenue growth. It delivered 5.7 times more battery modules during the quarter as it automated factories and scaled up production. Eos has also partnered with Cerberus Capital to create an independent company calle...

Showcase Of Socialism: New York, Europe, And The Rise Of The New Left Submitted by Thomas Kolbe Supporters of bourgeois-conservative or libertarian politics have had little reason to celebrate over the past decades. One could also say that the interim balance sheet of the 21st century will go down in history as a complete failure for patriots, sovereigntists, and friends of liberty. The sparks of hope remain largely confined to a few South American beacons. Alongside El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele and Argentina’s eccentric libertarian Javier Milei, the conservative politician of German descent Antonio Kast recently achieved an impressive electoral victory in Chile. Yet with Antonio Kast’s family history, the similarities between South America’s political revolution and the land of his forefathers - Germany -+already come to an end. It is hardly far-fetched to say that Berlin politics and the EU doctrine it dominates resemble the left-Islamist politics of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani far more than they resemble the chainsaw-wielding libertarianism of Javier Milei or the conservative momentum represented by Antonio Kast. Kast has undoubtedly succeeded in overcoming the National Socialist ideology embraced by his father and establishing himself as a conservative-patriotic politician. In the culture war against the socialist camp, maintaining a clear distinction between patriots, sovereigntists, and libertarians on one side and the radical right on the other is indispensable. European conservatives repeatedly fail because the ideologically socialist political spectrum and its aligned media apparatus successfully blur the line between conservative-patriotic politics and outright extremism, thereby severely obstructing any conservative revival. Kast must look upon the bizarre developments in the homeland of his ancestors with profound bewilderment. How must this aggressive European eco-socialism appear from the perspective of a conservative South American? Perhaps as a remin...

The Unlikely Story Of How French Fry Tycoon J.R. Simplot Became The First Major Venture Capital Investor In… Micron Technology Unless you live in Idaho, I have a strong feeling you've never heard the name J.R. Simplot. That's kind of crazy because I absolutely guarantee you have eaten one of his creations. Probably many, many, many, many of his creations. Thanks to a series of agricultural innovations, for much of his adult life, Simplot's agricultural business was one of the most important potato suppliers to a little company called… McDonald's. As you can imagine, that was an extremely lucrative relationship. At the time of his death in May 2008, at the age of 99, J.R. Simplot's net worth was $3.7 billion. And while the majority of that fortune was starch-based, a couple hundred million dollars was attributable to a very unlikely investment he made several decades earlier. In 1980, at the age of 70, J.R. Simplot – who had no knowledge of computer technology – invested $1 million in a tiny Boise semiconductor startup called Micron Technology. In exchange, he received a 40% stake in the young venture. On the day of his death in May 2008, Micron's market cap was around $5 billion. A few months later, at one of the lowest points of the 2008 financial crisis, you could have bought 100% of Micron for $2 billion. Earlier today, Micron's market cap topped $1 trillion. From Runaway Teenager To Potato Billionaire John Richard Simplot was born in 1909 in Dubuque, Iowa, but his family moved to Idaho when he was still a baby. He grew up in the newly irrigated farm country of the Magic Valley, where life was hard, money was scarce, and opportunity belonged to anyone willing to work longer, move faster, and take bigger risks than the next guy. Simplot did all three. According to family legend, he left home at 14 after an argument with his father, who refused to let him attend a basketball game. His mother gave him a small amount of money, and young Jack moved into a local hotel....

SpaceX has captured the imagination of millions by becoming the first privately funded company to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) and by pursuing ambitious plans to colonize Mars. Officially registered as Space Exploration Technologies Corp., SpaceX was valued at $1.25 trillion in February following a merger with xAI, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence start-up. On the heels of this valuation and SpaceX's official initial public offering (IPO) filing, investors are expected to pile in, and pay up to buy shares. And that's where a gut check comes into play. If you're considering investing in SpaceX stock when it IPOs, you must be willing to take the good with the bad. As of March 31, 2026, the company had an accumulated deficit of $41.3 billion, including a net loss of $4.27 billion in the first quarter of this year. While the potential for gain is beyond imagination, so is the potential for loss. Before deciding to invest like SpaceX founder Elon Musk, you may want to think twice, particularly if you can see yourself in any of the following investor types. Risk-averse investors Space travel is a highly unpredictable endeavor, rife with potential difficulties, including regulatory hurdles and technical failures. SpaceX is the perfect example of a company that's enjoyed success but has also incurred tremendous losses. While this IPO could be an incredible opportunity, there's no guarantee the stock will go up, and if an investor loses sleep every time the stock price slips, they're probably going to be miserable. Investors seeking quick returns The space industry requires patience, and investments may take years (or decades) to yield profits. It's doubtful that a space-related company will make you rich overnight. Investing works best when you're in it for the long haul, and investors should only invest money they don't need for short- or medium-term costs like rent or the honeymoon they're planning in 2028. Investors with high-interest deb...

As part of the audit, they are considering numerous factors to work out why it has become such a problem. For example, Spurs are analysing the "bounce" on the club's home pitch in comparison to that at rival grounds and their Enfield training centre. At present, the club have found there is no major difference between the conditions of other pitches in comparison to their home ground, but testing is ongoing. There is a view that certain knee injuries are unavoidable - Odobert for instance damaged his ACL following an awkward landing. It is also understood Spurs are confident the on-field treatment of Simons' injury did not result in additional damage to the Dutchman's knee. There has been criticism from supporters after footage showed medics allowing the attacker to put weight on his knee despite having suffered a serious injury. One of the key improvements Lewindon has recommended is to make medical support more individually tailored - based on factors including strength, fatigue and robustness. Medical staff will compile bespoke profiles for each player that will include personal insights as well as physical and psychological information to ensure they can deliver expert individual support to treat - but also prevent - injury. There is also set to be greater leeway for injured players to conduct part of their rehabilitation away from the club's training facility. Players across the Premier League are increasingly relying on external medical practitioners to aid their fitness and recovery, while many overseas footballers even return to their homeland for treatment. That dynamic often causes friction but moving forward Tottenham are open to letting players leave their direct care provided all parties involved agree to one shared recovery plan - though Spurs would ultimately take responsibility for any problems that arise during the process. The medical team will work closely alongside head coach Roberto de Zerbi and his staff over the summer amid concerns changing m...

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS), a quantum computing systems and services developer, closed Tuesday at $27.81, down 5.25%. The stock is moving as traders react to recent CHIPS and Science Act funding headlines and consider the stock’s already lofty valuation. Trading volume reached 54.2 million shares, coming in about 78% above its three-month average of 30.4 million shares. D-Wave Quantum IPO'd in 2020 and has grown 174% since going public. How the markets moved today The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) added 0.62% to finish Tuesday at 7,519, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) rose 1.19% to close at 26,656. Within quantum computing, peers saw mixed action as IonQ (NYSE:IONQ) closed at $63.62 (-0.06%) and Quantum Computing (NASDAQ:QUBT) finished at $11.61 (-5.12%), underscoring ongoing volatility across speculative growth names. What this means for investors Investors piled into D-Wave Quantum stock late last week after it announced $100 million in new funding from the U.S. Department of Commerce. Shares of D-Wave and other quantum computing names pulled back today, however, after Flatiron Institute researchers challenged the superiority of quantum computing simulations over classical computing. The institute, which focuses on advancing scientific research, claimed that classical computers are capable of addressing a category of problems once thought to be solvable exclusively by quantum computers. D-Wave responded in a press release, disputing the claim, stating that the researchers used an algorithm that is “not effective across the full range of problem classes studied in D-Wave’s Science paper,” which showed simulation quantum superiority. The dispute highlights just one risk associated with quantum stocks like D-Wave, which already have success built into their pricey valuations. Should you buy stock in D-Wave Quantum right now?

Kardigan Inc. filed for a US initial public offering that will help fund three late-stage drugs that target the root cause of cardiovascular diseases. Led by a team including the former managers of MyoKardia Inc. prior to its $13.1 billion acquisition by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. in 2020, the firm is developing separate drugs to treat genetic dilated cardiomyopathy, calcific aortic valve stenosis and acute severe hypertension, according to its filing Tuesday with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The Princeton, New Jersey-based company had a net loss of $56.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with a net loss of $18 million in the same period a year earlier, the filing shows.

What Happened? A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after Iran-US peace progress and the broader market hitting all-time highs lifted sentiment. Online retailers (Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Wayfair, Chewy, Etsy) are tech stocks dressed as retailers. They trade on multiples that move directly with discount rates, so the same yield decline which lifted Micron during the session lifts them too. Online retailers ship enormous package volumes. Amazon alone delivers billions of packages annually. Diesel costs are roughly a quarter of last-mile delivery economics, so a 5% drop in oil prices materially improves margins. Lower yields also improve the present value of these high-growth businesses, which earn most of their value from cash flows 5+ years out. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Online Retail company Wayfair (NYSE:W) jumped 6.7%. Is now the time to buy Wayfair? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free. Online Retail company Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) jumped 4.1%. Is now the time to buy Carvana? Access our full analysis report here, it’s free. Zooming In On Wayfair (W) Wayfair’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 32 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 7 days ago when the stock dropped 4.5% on the news that investors grew increasingly concerned about persistent inflation and rising bond yields, raising worries about future Federal Reserve policy. The pressure on equities became more pronounced following a significant move in the U.S. bond market, where the 10-year Treasury yield held near 4.60% and the 30-year yield pushed past 5.1%, a level not seen since 2007. These higher yields reflect investor anxiety that ...

Kenneth Cheung/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images With the stock market continuing to climb to new record highs, the key question that more investors should be asking is, how can I protect my portfolio from downside? Gains have been hugely concentrated into a small group of AI-linked hardware and semiconductor stocks, which in my view makes the stock market rally frail. Now, I prefer buying into stocks in underappreciated industries that have been falling since the start of the year. Expedia ( EXPE ), the online travel agency (OTA) platform, has seen a ~25% share price slide since the start of the year, which has eliminated a large chunk of the stock's healthy rebound rally in 2025. While it remains the smallest of the big three OTAs (Booking ( BKNG ), Airbnb ( ABNB ), and Expedia), its growth performance gap to its rivals has closed, while it maintains the cheapest valuation. All of this is a great setup for a rebound. Data by YCharts I last wrote a "Neutral" article on Expedia in March, when the stock was trading higher at $250 per share. Since then, pessimism, particularly over the Iran conflict and the surge in fuel prices, has put a sharp dent in all travel-related stocks. At the same time, we're receiving strong signals from Expedia's own bookings that showcase its resilience in a very dynamic environment. With all of this in mind, I'm upgrading Expedia back up to a "Buy" rating. As a reminder for investors who are newer to Expedia, here is what I view to be the core drivers of the bull case for this company: Expedia's integrated One Key Rewards program gives travelers a compelling reason to book. Its main rival, Booking, has a very fragmented rewards system, with its two largest subsidiaries, Booking.com and Priceline, each using a different rewards system. Meanwhile, Expedia has an integrated One Key membership program that works across Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo. This is also the only rewards program that has a cash-back mechanism, making it more attract...

The implosion of a chemical tank at a pulp and paper mill in southwestern Washington state on Tuesday injured at least 10 people, while an undisclosed number of others had been killed or remained missing, authorities said. In a joint statement, Nippon Dynawave Packaging and local first response agencies confirmed there had been fatalities. Cowlitz Fire and Rescue Chief Scott Goldstein later told a news conference that it was unclear how many workers had been killed. Asked how many remained missing, he replied: Advertisement “We have information on that, but we’re not releasing that information.” Among those injured was a responding firefighter. Authorities said some victims had suffered burns or inhalation injuries, and that the severity of the injuries ranged from minor to critical. There was no immediate threat to the public, they said. Cowlitz Fire and Rescue Chief Scott Goldstein speaks to reporters after a hazardous liquid implosion at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging on Tuesday.
