hapabapa Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. ( MSGS ) moved higher in premarket trading on Friday after setting a new 52-week high on Thursday. The share price gains have followed closely with the success of the New York Knicks, now only three games away from their first NBA championship since 1973. Ticket prices on the secondary market have surged for Knicks home games, and the company is expected to benefit from strong ancillary sales. The timing of the New York Knicks' playoff run is seen by analysts as a positive for shareholders as the company explores options to separate its hockey franchise from its basketball franchise to create two separate publicly traded businesses. The parent company expects the deal to be structured as a tax-free spin-off, with holders of Class A and Class B common stock receiving a pro-rata distribution of 100% of the common stock in the newly created company. Wall Street analysts and Seeking Alpha analysts both have a consensus Buy rating on MSGS. Shares of Madison Square Garden ( MSGS ) are up 14% over the last six weeks.

Iran Oil Exports Plunge To Four Year Low As Blockade Tightens, While Inflation Soars To World War 2 Levels If it was indeed Trump's intention to starve Iran's economy of oil export revenue, the plan may just be working: Iran's oil exports fell to their lowest level in at least six years in May as the US naval blockade has succeeded in choking off crude shipments and leave tens of millions of barrels stranded at sea. According to shipping data from Vortexa, Iran exported just 209,000 barrels per day of crude oil and condensate in May , down from 1.34 million bpd in April and nearly 1.9 million bpd in March . Kpler had estimated May exports slightly higher at 260,000 bpd, but still the lowest level since the height of the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" campaign in 2019-2020. When the blockade first took effect in April, analysts expected Tehran to lean on floating storage while waiting for an opportunity to move barrels, which it did with ease as it had control of the strait thanks to its own blockade (much to our surprise, as we asked back in early March why the US didn't do the same ). But storage is no longer growing. According to Kpler, floating inventories have fallen from roughly 190 million barrels in late April to about 147 million barrels today as cargoes continue trickling into China and production slows. Meanwhile, another problem for Tehran is that China's appetite for oil is not only not growing, it is crashing just as Iran needs buyers most (see " Traders Puzzled As Physical Oil Prices Tumble Amid Surging Chinese Crude Sales, Plunging Imports "). Chinese imports of Iranian crude fell to 1.1 million bpd in May, the lowest level since 2022. Independent Chinese refiners have begun cutting processing rates amid weak margins and comfortable fuel inventories, reducing demand for sanctioned barrels. That shift has already pushed Iranian Light crude from a premium to a discount . As Reuters notes, plunging demand from Iran’s top crude buyer, China, ha...

Francesco Scatena/iStock via Getty Images Introduction AmpliTech Group, Inc. ( AMPG) is a small company based in Hauppauge, New York. It manufactures radio frequency microwave components and 5G communication systems with only 46 employees and a $127 million market cap. That is the kind of description that makes most investors move on immediately. But the one fact that changes the whole picture is this: AmpliTech is the only company in the world that holds OTIC certification for the 64T O-RAN 5G Massive MIMO radio. Major North American mobile network operators need this specific hardware to deploy next-generation 5G networks. My buy thesis has three aspects. First, AmpliTech has this certification no one else does; they are the world's only OTIC-approved 64T O-RAN 5G Massive MIMO radio makers. It's not just fancy talk; it simply means some customers can't find this exact product anywhere else. And that is not a temporary competitive advantage. Competitors would need years to replicate the certification process. Next, let's talk about cash flow. In FY2025, revenue grew 165%, and in Q1 2026, it kept rising by 48.6%. Gross margins jumped from 33% to 48%. The gross profit nearly doubled while revenue increased by about 50%. This is the first time we see solid proof of their efficient operations in the numbers. Lastly, we need to check out the Letter of Intent (LOI) pipeline. The total value is bigger than the whole market cap of the company; let me break it down to you. There's already a $40 million LOI in the works and another $70 million, mentioned on the earnings call. That adds up to $110 million against a market cap of $112 million. At $50 million in annual revenue guidance, it trades at 2.5 times its sales, which isn’t expensive for this growth and has no debt. What AmpliTech Actually Does This business is interesting once you grasp it. Whenever someone makes a phone call, use a satellite link, connect via 5G, or even when defense radars do their thing, those signa...

A debt-laden caregiver attempting suicide is the catalyst for him finding new meaning to life from a ward of terminally ill patients in touching ensemble drama ‘You know the law of entropy? Life is a process of constant decay,” ssays a doctor in this Chinese hospital comedy drama – but not that you’d know it from the gabbling, frenetic first half-hour of director Chen Sicheng’s death-fixated film. Being Towards Death kicks off with caregiver Xiaobing (Jiang Long) about to throw himself off the roof because, after a scheme to flog his superiors care robots fails, he’s in hock to triad loan sharks. Thankfully the film later settles into an intermittently touching ensemble drama with a meta tint; albeit one that doesn’t fully grasp the profundities it’s aiming for. Hauled back from the ledge, Xiaobing is talked by the hospital director into leading a project studying mental health interventions in terminal cancer care. So he finds himself among the “Ward 10 Fearless Squad”, a group of patients whose outlook is as plucky as their diagnoses are grim. Before long, he has co-opted film director Dao (Wang Zichuan) to make a documentary about his roomies, including bullish property mogul Mau (Cai Ming), browbeaten first son Bowen (Huang Yi) and fib-spinning poppet, Xiaobing (Ye Quanxi) – nicknamed Little Bing.

How does a 100-year-old dance company face the 21st century? For Rambert’s Benoit Swan Pouffer the answer is combining innovation with popular adaptations such as the Brummie crime saga On 15 June 1926, the Lyric theatre in Hammersmith played host to “an engaging little ballet” called A Tragedy of Fashion, a “chic trifle” according to the press, that had been first concocted round a west London dinner table. Yet it turned out to be a momentous moment in the course of British dance. The show was produced by Marie Rambert, a Polish émigré who had performed with Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, and it was the beginnings of a dance company that’s still going strong 100 years later. Marie Rambert was a force of nature. She has been called “an inspired talent spotter and legendary bully”, with “wit, taste and a sharp instinct for trends”, and with her nascent company (first known as the Marie Rambert Dancers, then Ballet Club, then Ballet Rambert), she kindled the talents of Britain’s most influential choreographers of the age, including Frederick Ashton and Antony Tudor. “This woman was a pioneer,” says the company’s current artistic director, Benoit Swan Pouffer. “She was really ahead of her time.” Nonetheless, fast-forward 100 years and Marie Rambert wouldn’t recognise the company that still bears her name, written in capitals down the side of a sleek building just behind the National Theatre, on London’s South Bank.
