England suffered a chastening pre-T20 World Cup defeat as they were completely outplayed by India in a 38-run defeat in Chelmsford. Chasing 189 to win, England stuttered to 150-8 as questions remain around their batting line-up before the tournament begins in June. Openers Alice Capsey and Sophia Dunkley fell cheaply before Amy Jones made a fluent 67 from 48 balls, but the run-rate climbed out of control as they collapsed from 120-3. The returns of Danni Wyatt-Hodge from maternity leave and Nat Sciver-Brunt from injury cannot come soon enough for England's stuttering top order. Extras also proved a big difference, with England giving away 21 compared to India's three. Lauren Bell gave England the perfect start with two wickets in the first over, including star batter Smriti Mandhana from the first ball of the innings before Shafali Verma fell for two. But Jemimah Rodrigues and Yastika Bhatia remained unflustered, taking 27 from the second over bowled by Issy Wong to kickstart their counter-attacking third-wicket stand of 126. England's standards in the field slipped again when they were under pressure, but stand-in skipper Charlie Dean led an encouraging fightback by removing both set batters in the 14th over. Bhatia was run out for 54 and Rodrigues was caught and bowled for 69 as India slipped from 133-2 to 148-6, including debutant Tilly Corteen-Coleman's first T20 wicket as Richa Ghosh was sensationally caught by Wong. But Deepti Sharma, so often a thorn in England's side, struck four boundaries in her 22 from 13 balls at the death to ensure India's middle overs brilliance was not in vain as they finished 188-7. The three-match series continues at Bristol on Saturday, where Wyatt-Hodge is in contention to feature for the first time this summer.

(RTTNews) - Agriproducts company Universal Corporation (UVV) posted a loss in the fourth quarter loss hurt largely by a goodwill impairment charge and higher tobacco inventory write-downs, which weighed on results, despite slightly higher revenue. Net loss attributable to Universal was $43.3 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, compared with net income of $9.3 million, or $0.37 per share, a year earlier. Adjusted loss per share was $0.46, versus adjusted earnings of $0.80 per share last year. Preston Wigner, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Universal, said, "Fourth quarter and fiscal year 2026 results were ultimately impacted by a non-cash, goodwill impairment charge related to our Universal Ingredients-Shank's operation, as well as increased tobacco inventory write-downs, primarily for non-wrapper, dark air-cured tobacco." Quarterly sales and other operating revenues rose 2% to $715.2 million from $702.3 million a year ago.

Kent Nishimura | Bloomberg | Getty Images Disney shot back at the Federal Communications Commission on Thursday as part of an early renewal process for broadcast licenses for eight of the company's stations. Disney said in filings it was submitting the applications "under protest in response to an unlawful, arbitrary, and unconstitutional order" from the FCC. In late April the FCC said it was launching an early review of the Disney-owned ABC stations years ahead of schedule following concerns around the company's diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. The licenses of the eight stations were originally up for renewal between 2028 and 2031. Last year the FCC, the federal entity that regulates the media and telecommunications industry, began an investigation into the DEI efforts of Disney and other media companies. The agency said it began investigating Disney last March for possible violations of the Communications Act of 1934 and the FCC's rules regarding its prohibition on unlawful discrimination. In April, the FCC said it had determined further action was needed. Disney had until Thursday to file the renewals. The FCC's early review came shortly after ABC faced renewed political backlash from President Donald Trump following comments made by comedian Jimmy Kimmel during his late night TV show that airs on the broadcast network. The timing raised eyebrows from critics of the Trump administration — as well as from a sitting FCC commissioner — who said the scrutiny was politically motivated. In Thursday's filing, Disney said it objected to the process and added that the FCC hadn't called for an early renewal in more than five decades. "The order has no legitimate purpose," Disney said in the fi...

J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images The Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities ETF ( VTIP ) is an index ETF investing in treasury inflation-protected securities, or TIPs. VTIP's returns should roughly equal 1.1% plus inflation moving forward, equivalent to 4.9% right now. VTIP's expected returns compare favorably to most high-quality bonds, although of course these are dependent on the future path of inflation. VTIP's comparatively safe, high-quality portfolio, good income and return potential, strong track-record, and effectiveness as an inflation hedge make the fund a buy. VTIP should be of particular interest to more risk-averse investors concerned about inflation. VTIP And TIPs: Quick Overview Quick explanation of how TIPs work, as these are somewhat niche securities. Feel free to skip this section if you already know how these securities work. TIPs are inflation-protected treasuries. These securities pay investors a fixed coupon rate plus an inflation component. VTIP's TIPs currently pay a fixed 1.1% coupon rate, broadly consistent with government data . VTIP In practice, VTIP's dividends are equivalent to that 1.1% plus inflation, more specifically annual CPI. In truth, the (face) value of the fund's TIPs is pegged to CPI so that their value increases as prices do. Gains from increased inflation generally get classified as income and distributed to shareholders as dividends, so there's no real practical difference from saying that inflation leads to increased income and dividends for the fund. Considering the above, VTIP's dividend yield should roughly track CPI, with a small delay as dividend payments get made. Data is broadly as expected. Data by YCharts Due to the uncommon behavior of these securities, accounting and regulatory issues, and ETF distribution requirements, individual dividend payments might not align with prevailing inflation rates, but the overall trend is clear. With the above in mind, let's have a look at VTIP's characteris...

Key Points Etsy is a leaner business now following a pair of divestitures. The company's financial results have improved. The stock trades at reasonable levels relative to the large growth opportunity ahead. 10 stocks we like better than Etsy › After underperforming the market for several years, Etsy (NYSE: ETSY) is finally bouncing back. The company's shares have climbed 34% over the past 12 months, slightly better than the broader market. If Etsy can maintain this momentum, it may still be time to invest in the e-commerce specialist, especially since its shares remain down more than 70% from their all-time high reached in late 2021. Let's see whether there is more upside ahead for Etsy. A rejuvenated business Etsy is going back to the basics. Last year, the company divested Reverb, a marketplace for vintage musical instruments. And in February, Etsy announced it would sell Depop, a fashion-focused online marketplace. 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 » Etsy wants to focus on its core e-commerce platform, which is primarily geared toward the sale of vintage, handmade, or otherwise unique items. Meanwhile, Etsy's financial results are improving. In the first quarter, the company's revenue increased by 3% year over year to $631.3 million. After reporting a loss per share of $0.49 in the year-ago period, Etsy posted net earnings per share of $0.60 this time around. And although active buyers declined by 2.1% year over year to 86.6 million in the period, the metric increased sequentially -- by just 0.1% -- for the first time in two years. Active sellers grew on a year-over-year basis. Etsy is on the right track, but can the company keep going? On the one hand, one reason Etsy underperformed for years is that the items on its platform aren't exactly cheap, nor are they the essential goods ...

Douglas Rissing/iStock via Getty Images The current economic doldrums have most investors concerned about a potential market downturn. The bottom line concern many economists and consultants have expressed lately is stagflation, the dreaded combination of flat economic growth with inflation that gets higher and higher indefinitely. We may be approaching a time where that concern becomes so widely held that it gets reflected by the market. That worry is only compounded by the fact that we are now in the six-month period of the calendar year, typically marked by underperformance relative to the full year. The six months from October 1 through April 30 between 1926 and 2025 have averaged about 500 basis points more, reflecting a difference of about 7.3% to 2.3%, than the May - October period. This does not mean that investors should sell their S&P 500 stocks in May. In terms of frequency, the S&P 500 Index posts positive returns for the May-October period about two-thirds of the time but also underperforms the year’s S&P 500 return almost as frequently. Such trends are not repeated every year but certainly do nothing to dispel fears that the new economic realities for the USA will translate into a six-month-or-more market downturn. During high inflation and economic stagnation, earnings growth rates tend to decline as sales rise less quickly than costs for most companies. Typically, the stock market struggles to tread water in the first six to 12 months of such a period and often, albeit not always, declines into market correction territory or worse. When stagflation is anticipated, active asset managers tend to sell stocks in growth-oriented and economically sensitive sectors such as consumer discretionary, industrial, and technology. The stocks to own typically include stocks in sectors such as energy, materials, REITs, financials, consumer staples, healthcare, and utilities. “Old economy” and “value” stocks often outperform because they hold real assets and can pass...

July Nymex natural gas (NGN26) on Thursday closed up +0.190 (+6.14%). Nat-gas prices rallied to a 2.5-month nearest-futures high on Thursday and settled sharply higher on a smaller-than-expected weekly storage increase. EIA nat-gas inventories rose +92 bcf in the week ended May 22, below expectations of +96 bcf. Nat-gas prices added to their gains after updated weather forecasts turned hotter, potentially boosting nat-gas demand from electricity providers to power increased air-conditioning usage. The Commodity Weather Group said Thursday that above-average temperatures are expected across the West and Midwest from June 2-11. Don’t Miss a Day: Projections for higher US nat-gas production are negative for prices. On May 12, the EIA raised its forecast for 2026 US dry nat-gas production to 110.61 bcf/day from an April estimate of 109.60 bcf/day. US nat-gas production is currently near a record high, with active US nat-gas rigs posting a 2.5-year high in late February. On April 17, nat-gas prices tumbled to a 1.5-year nearest-futures low amid robust US gas storage. EIA nat-gas inventories as of May 8 were +6.5% above their 5-year seasonal average, signaling abundant US nat-gas supplies. The outlook for the Strait of Hormuz to remain closed for the foreseeable future is supportive for nat-gas as the closure will curb Middle Eastern nat-gas supplies, potentially boosting US nat-gas exports to make up for the shortfall. US (lower-48) dry gas production on Thursday was 110.4 bcf/day (+2.6% y/y), according to BNEF. Lower-48 state gas demand on Thursday was 70.2 bcf/day (+2.1% y/y), according to BNEF. Estimated LNG net flows to US LNG export terminals on Thursday were 18.5 bcf/day (+2.2% w/w), according to BNEF. Nat-gas prices have some medium-term support on the outlook for tighter global LNG supplies. On March 19, Qatar reported "extensive damage" at the world's largest natural gas export plant at Ras Laffan Industrial City. Qatar said the attacks by Iran damaged 17% of Ra...

Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT) Chief Executive Officer Gary Dickerson said artificial intelligence is driving a multi-year expansion in semiconductor manufacturing demand, with the company positioned around the areas he described as the fastest-growing parts of wafer fab equipment spending. Speaking at a Bernstein conference with Senior Analyst Stacy Rasgon, Dickerson called AI “the biggest technology inflection of our lifetimes” and said demand is centered on leading-edge foundry logic, DRAM and advanced packaging. He said those three categories represent “way more than 80%” of incremental wafer fab equipment spending in 2026 and are expected to remain central to growth. Dickerson said Applied is also using AI internally across innovation, product development, operations, supply chain, service engineering and process engineering. He said the technology is expected to help the company bring “multi-billion dollar products to market faster,” including some later this year, and make service engineers more productive. AI Demand Drives Logic, DRAM and Packaging In leading-edge foundry logic, Dickerson highlighted gate-all-around transistors, backside power delivery and wiring innovations as important drivers of Applied’s business. He said the adoption of gate-all-around and backside power increases Applied’s revenue per wafer start by about 30% and that the combination of transistor and wiring opportunities can move from $12 billion to $14 billion for 100,000 wafer starts. Dickerson said Applied has built “integration innovators” over the past seven to eight years and that about 30% of the company’s revenue now comes from integrated systems, where multiple technologies are combined under vacuum. He said that capability is important because some films are only one or two atoms thick and can be damaged if exposed to air. In DRAM, Dickerson said Applied has gained about 10 points of share in overall DRAM spending over a little more than a decade and is “by far the leader” ...
