神奇一幕出现了。 港交所信息显示，段永平通过他控制的H&H International Investment, LLC，一举将泡泡玛特的持股比例推到了5.69%，持仓市值超110亿港元，成为公司第二大股东。 老段变了。 记得去年底，段永平还曾直言“看不懂泡泡玛特，不投资”，但今年的态度却超级大转弯——他卖掉了持有十几年的神华资产，全部置换为泡泡玛特股票，甚至连头像都换成了满桌子的泡泡玛特。 没想到，这一买，就买成了公司的第二大股东。有人调侃：阿段这是彻底“入坑”了。 逆势买买买，泡泡玛特大涨130亿 这并非心血来潮。 故事要从2025年8月说起。彼时，整个消费板块一片沸腾，泡泡玛特股价即将触及339港元的历史最高点，有投资者甚至将其比作新消费领域的茅台，满怀期待地追问段永平的看法。 然而，段永平在个人社交账号“大道无形我有型”上给出了一个出人意料的回答：泡泡玛特的产品确实有意思，创始人也很有意思，能做到今天这样很了不起，但他看不懂十年后公司会怎样。 他的顾虑简单而直白：潮玩这东西，会不会像曾经风靡一时的电子宠物、呼啦圈、魔方一样，只是一阵风？“看不懂就不碰”，这是段永平从未动摇的投资铁律。 此后数月，他的态度始终未见松动。2025年12月再聊起泡泡玛特，他依然直言： “看不懂，不投资”、“也许已经过了能理解这个产品的年纪了”。 2026年1月，他再次坦言，自己大致看过泡泡玛特，但依然无法理解“人们为什么会需要这个东西，万一过两年大家都不要了呢？” 变化来得比预想中更快。 2026年3月，泡泡玛特发布了2025年全年财报：全年营收371.2亿元，同比增长184.7%；经调整净利润130.8亿元，同比增长284.5%；核心IP LABUBU家族营收突破百亿。这是一份足以让投资人侧目的成绩单。 但市场却给出了截然相反的回应。财报发布后，泡泡玛特股价直线闪崩，7个交易日内暴跌超34%。拉长时间看，过去数月间，公司市值从4500亿港元的高点蒸发近2500亿港元，几近腰斩。 抛售潮历历在目，段永平却在这个时候逆着人流，沉下心来研究这家潮玩公司。 “这两天花时间再看了看泡泡玛特，决定收回之前不投资的说法。” 3月30日，他正式公开“改口”。 之后，他看完了王宁的访谈录《因为独特》，又亲自跑了一趟美国商场，蹲在泡泡玛特店门口数人头。结果令他颇感意外：不大的门店生意极好，进店顾客绝大...

In this article CZR Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT A view north along Las Vegas Boulevard is seen from Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino at sunset in Las Vegas, Dec. 7, 2015. George Rose | Getty Images Caesars Entertainment said on Thursday it will be bought out by Tilman Fertitta-owned firm in a $17.6 billion deal, as the hospitality billionaire looks to expand his leisure empire. The deal, which will take one of the Las Vegas Strip's most prized casino operators private, includes about $11.9 billion in assumed debt, the company said. Fertitta, the United States ambassador to Italy and San Marino and owner of Fertitta Entertainment, offered $31 per share for the company, a nearly 50% premium to the stock's closing price before the deal was first reported in February. Fertitta Entertainment, which owns the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casinos and basketball team Houston Rockets, had approached Caesars in 2018 about merging it with his own gaming empire, Reuters had reported. Through his restaurant and hospitality company, Fertitta owns more than 600 properties in 36 states and over 15 countries, including casual dining brands such as Rainforest Café and Bubba Gump Shrimp. Caesars combined with smaller rival Eldorado Resorts in 2020 to form one of the biggest casino and entertainment companies in the United States — a deal set in motion after activist investor and billionaire Carl Icahn built a stake a year before and pushed the company to pursue a sale. Caesars controls more than 50 casinos across North America, including the Caesars Palace, Harrah's and Eldorado. It also runs a retail and online sports-betting app. The company faces mounting pressure as fewer visitors to Las Vegas — its core market — dent revenue at resorts, hotels and casinos, while its online betting arm trails larger rivals like FanDuel and DraftKings and faces growing competition from prediction markets.

We recently compiled a list of the 10 Most Widely Held Stocks by Individuals in 2026. Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is also among the most widely held stocks by individuals. TheFly reported on May 20 that META CEO Mark Zuckerberg informed employees that the company does not expect any additional broad layoffs for the remainder of the year. Earlier restructuring reduced the global workforce by about 10% and included the reassignment of roughly 7,000 employees into artificial intelligence-focused roles. The internal communication, reported via a memo cited by Reuters, indicated that the company is shifting headcount toward AI development rather than continuing large-scale workforce reductions. The update suggests a transition phase in which META is stabilizing staffing levels after prior cuts while prioritizing investment in artificial intelligence initiatives and reorganizing internal teams to support that strategic direction. In a separate move, on May 20, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton opened an investigation into Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) regarding its Meta AI smart glasses, focusing on privacy and data protection concerns. The inquiry examines whether the device’s camera-enabled eyewear could expose sensitive personal information, including audio, video recordings, and facial data of individuals in Texas. Is Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) Entering a New AI Growth Phase After Workforce Restructuring? The glasses include continuous data-processing features linked to Meta AI, along with a recording indicator light that authorities say may not always be easily noticeable. The investigation also references concerns about third-party data access and potential exposure of private user content during data annotation processes. Additional scrutiny involves reports that future versions may incorporate facial recognition capabilities using embedded camera systems to identify individuals without their knowledge.

The most consequential spending decisions in tech right now are being made by CFOs—and at five of the giant hyperscalers funding the AI build-out, plus Nvidia, those CFOs are women. That’s among the topics in my new article, released alongside the 2026 Fortune Most Powerful Women list. Meta’s Susan Li, Microsoft’s Amy Hood, Alphabet’s Anat Ashkenazi, Oracle’s Hilary Maxson, OpenAI’s Sarah Friar, and Nvidia’s Colette Kress are steering their companies through one of the largest infrastructure expansions in corporate history, and the capital commitments are staggering. For example, Microsoft is targeting roughly $190 billion in 2026 capex, a 61% jump from the prior year. In the AI boom, compute isn’t just a technology expense—it’s a strategic asset. Access to chips, data centers, power, and long-term cloud capacity can determine how quickly companies develop, deploy, and profit from AI. That shift has elevated the CFO role. The finance chiefs steering this race are largely women, and each interprets what that means on her own terms: a milestone, a coincidence, a sign of new kinds of power, or a reminder of the CEO chairs they still don’t occupy. Jenna Fisher, co-head of Russell Reynolds Associates’ Global Financial Officers Practice, says these leaders are cutting against the “glass cliff,” the pattern of women only landing big jobs in moments of crisis. These CFOs, she notes, are arriving at a moment of scale and ambition, not collapse. You can read the full story here.

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images CVS Health’s ( CVS ) pharmacy benefit manager, CVS Caremark, announced on Thursday updates to its most common commercial formularies, including a decision to restore coverage for Eli Lilly’s ( LLY ) blockbuster weight-loss medication, Zepbound, effective October 1. CVS Caremark will also add coverage for Lilly’s ( LLY ) new weight loss pill, Foundayo (orforglipron), effective June 1. Shares of the Indiana-based drugmaker came under pressure last May after CVS Caremark picked Novo Nordisk’s ( NVO ) rival weight loss therapy Wegovy as the preferred GLP-1 medicine ahead of Zepbound on its standard commercial formularies. “CVS Caremark will add Zepbound back to our commercial formularies as an additional preferred option on October 1, 2026,” the company said in a statement. “These formulary updates are one component of CVS Health's ongoing efforts to address rising prescription drug costs and improve access to affordable medications for the millions of Americans it serves.” Meanwhile, Novo Nordisk ( NVO ) sought to reassure investors and patients, noting that its Wegovy injectable and pill continue to have a preferred status on CVS Caremark formularies. "Wegovy injection and pill have strong formulary access across the US market," said Tom Scales, Senior Vice President of Market Access & Public Affairs at the US unit of the Danish drugmaker. “As CVS Caremark adds other weight loss medications to their formulary, in addition to Wegovy, Novo Nordisk supports the opportunity for patients seeking care for obesity and the prescribers who treat them to have flexibility,” he added.

Key Points Goldman Sachs sold off a lot of its crypto holdings. It sold some or all of its positions in Solana, XRP, Ethereum, and Bitcoin. It bought a stock that gives it exposure to Hyperliquid in the same period as the sales. 10 stocks we like better than Goldman Sachs Group › Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) just gave crypto investors one of the clearest institutional signals of the year, and, somewhat surprisingly, it wasn't a bullish endorsement of the usual suspects. The bank's Form 13F from Q1 2026, which discloses positions as of March 31, shows it fully liquidated its holdings in both XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) and Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) exchange-traded funds (ETFs), while also slashing its Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) ETF exposure by roughly 70%. It also opened a new position in a digital asset treasury (DAT) company that's accumulating Hyperliquid (CRYPTO: HYPE), a popular decentralized crypto exchange for trading crypto derivatives. Goldman's moves here aren't random trims. The reshuffling of the roster maps to a changing set of narratives across the crypto sector, wherein yesterday's institutional darlings like Ethereum, Solana, and XRP are losing favor to emerging protocols with stronger mechanisms for holders to capture value. Let's dig into what Goldman sold, what it bought, and where the sector might be headed next. 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 » This reshuffle almost looks like an about-face Just one quarter before the most recent 13F filing, in Q4 of 2025, Goldman Sachs ranked as one of the largest known institutional holders of spot XRP ETFs (exchange-traded funds) in the U.S., with a position worth $154 million. It also held about $108 million in Solana ETFs. By March 31, those positions had been mostly or completely sold off. Now, its Ethereum ETF allocation is just $114 million, re...

Wicked star Cynthia Erivo has said that reactions to the incident at the Singapore premiere of Wicked: For Good, in which she stepped in to fend off a red-carpet invader who grabbed co-star Ariana Grande, revealed “the insidious nature of how we view Black women” and put her off campaigning for Oscars. In an interview with Variety, Erivo said that she and Grande were “terrified” when Johnson Wen jumped a barrier at Universal Studios Singapore and rushed towards them. “Nobody moved. Nobody moved. So I moved because my brain went, ‘Get him away! Get him out of here!’ … And what people couldn’t see is that he wouldn’t let go [of Grande]. He wouldn’t let go. So I just kept pushing at him to get him off.” Erivo added: “A stranger is a stranger. Personal space is still personal space. It doesn’t belong to anyone, even if you feel you know the person,” she says. “In that moment, we were all terrified.” Wen, who has a history of disrupting public events, was sentenced to nine days in jail. The incident triggered a huge response on social media, including suggestions that Erivo was Grande’s “bodyguard” – something to which Erivo objects. “I think that we haven’t really come to terms with the insidious nature of how we view Black women. And I’m sure people will read this and think, ‘Oh, for goodness sake, it’s not about that.’ But it is. Because that’s what was being made fun of. It was my physique; it was my shape; it was the fact that I was bald; it was about what I looked like. And because of that, there was this assumption that I was bigger than my co-star and so I had to be controlling or protecting, and that was my role. I would hazard a guess that it would not have been the same had it been the other way around.” The first Wicked film took $765m (£571m) in box office receipts worldwide on its release in 2024 and won two Oscars; the sequel has performed markedly worse, taking $541m (£404m), and received no Oscar nominations. Saying “I just felt like my humanity had been...

Pavlo Sukharchuk Shares of Photronics ( PLAB ) plunged more than 25% in premarket trading on Thursday after the semiconductor manufacturing company reported weaker-than-expected results for the fiscal second quarter. For the period ending May 3, the Brookfield, Conn.-based Photronics said it earned an adjusted $0.42 per share as revenue slipped 0.5% year-over-year to come in at $209.5M. Analysts had expected the company to earn $0.53 per share on $216.03M in revenue. “Photomask market dynamics reflect a mix of supportive long-term drivers and several temporary headwinds," Chairman and CEO George Macricostas said in a statement . "In the near term, certain design releases have been delayed due to elevated fab utilization rates, which are extending new product launch timelines, memory supply constraints and related cost pressures for OEMs, and geopolitical uncertainty. The underlying long-term demand environment remains strong as we advance our investments in the U.S. and Korea to strengthen our position at the high end of the market over the coming years.” Looking to the fiscal third-quarter, Photronics expects to earn between $0.39 and $0.45 per share on an adjusted basis. Revenue is expected to be between $207M and $215M. The company will host a conference call at 8:30 a.m. EST to discuss the results.

HONG KONG, May 28 (Reuters) - Small biotech firms "latch onto" AI more quickly than bigger firms, the head of ‌Chinese tech giant Tencent's healthcare division said on ‌Thursday, as more businesses embrace AI to improve efficiency. Pharmaceutical companies are also increasingly ​turning to AI to accelerate research and development, betting on new modeling tools and automated labs to improve efficiency and slash costs as well as drug development timelines. Drugmakers including Novo Nordisk ‌and Eli Lilly have ⁠announced AI-related collaborations with technology firms. "When you have less people, when you need to do more, ⁠you tend to figure out more efficient ways of doing things," Tencent Healthcare President Alex Ng told Reuters. "AI is definitely something ​that they ​latch onto very quickly," he ​said. For very big ‌pharmaceutical companies, however, with elaborate organisation and specified workflows, just adding an AI will sometimes not be successful, Ng said. Industry forecasts suggest that the use of machine learning to optimize target discovery, design molecules and streamline clinical trial planning could halve ‌early-stage development timelines and costs within ​the next three to five years, ​Reuters has previously reported. Ng ​also said people have become more positive ‌about embracing AI and what it ​can accomplish as ​the technology improves. "I think the culture and the environment and the discussion has changed so much that I ​think a lot ‌of people are a lot more positive," Ng said.

运营商做起了Token生意。但Token不是流量，还没那么好卖。 近日，中国三大运营商接连上线Token套餐。中国电信、中国移动、中国联通接连推出Token套餐及相关AI服务，面向个人、家庭、开发者、中小微企业等用户销售大模型调用量。 虽然相关套餐仍处在早期推广阶段，但已经迅速成为资本市场关注的新叙事。 5月18日，三大运营商股价齐涨，其中中国电信领涨，一度触及涨停，收涨7.74%。 三大运营商密集上架Token类产品， 其背后是运营商正在完成一次身份切换，而Token套餐，只是这场转型在用户侧露出地面的那一角。 过去几十年，运营商的每一次业务变化，往往都伴随着计费单位的变化。普通人日常中理解的通信服务的方式，经历了几次悄然的单位切换和角色叠加。 先是按分钟付费。用户打一个电话，会花多少钱，一清二楚。 后来是按流量付费。看视频、刷网页、发微信，背后消耗的是多少GB。运营商的生意，也长期围绕着语音、短信和流量展开。 然后到现在，一个新的计费单位开始被塞进运营商的套餐表里：Token（也称“词元”）。 每一次计费单位的变化，往往都对应着一次基础设施角色的变化。按分钟计费的时代，运营商是通信网络的提供者；按流量计费的时代，运营商是移动互联网入口的承载者。 当Token开始进入套餐表，运营商试图扮演的角色，正在从“连接服务商”进一步变成“AI 算力入口”。就像当年电网把发电厂的电送进千家万户，运营商正在试图把智算中心里的算力，通过套餐和账单体系，变成像水、像电一样可以按月购买、按量消耗的公共资源。 不过，要理解这轮运营商卖Token，除了看套餐价格本身，还要关注背后的基础设施逻辑，以及它能否真正被市场理解和接受。 图片由AI工具生成 01、Token套餐上架后，真正的难题才开始 目前运营商推出的Token套餐，没有模型厂商API那样细分输入、输出、缓存命中的复杂定价，整体打包成一个月度额度，简单分类明确：每月多少钱、包含多少Token、能用哪些模型。 当算力真正从后台资源变成前台商品，各大运营商面对统一的问题：用户是否真的能像理解流量一样去理解Token套餐？这里面存在不少门槛。 “现在Token套餐看起来眼花缭乱，但我对Token的使用其实没有概念。”一位用户说。 Token并不像GB流量那样相对统一，同样是1000万Token，用在短问答和长文档分析上，消耗速度不一样；...

Andrey Abryutin/iStock via Getty Images In the fall of 2025, I concluded that shares of Commercial Metals Company ( CMC ) had undergone both a rapid and unexpected transformation. This came after the company announced two larger acquisitions to expand its business by moving into higher-margin and less asset-intensive operations. Trading in the high fifties at the time, shares have seen decent 30% returns to levels around $76 amidst a raging stock market, with the added financial leverage bringing some momentum into the share price as well. This is also aided by solid momentum in the business after the two deals closed towards year-end 2025, now starting to make a contribution. Other and higher conviction ideas, including the areas of technology and industrial applications, can be found at Value In Corporate Events . Eventful Second Quarter Results By the end of March, Commercial Metals Company reported its fiscal results for the second quarter, that is, for the month that ended in February. The company reported a more than 21% increase in second-quarter sales to $2.13 billion. This followed the closing of the $1.84 billion cash acquisition of Foley Products Company on the 15th of December and a $675 million deal for Concrete Pipe & Precast LLC closing on the 1st of December, both taking place early in the second quarter. While these deals should add to the reported growth, sequential revenue growth is hardly existent after first-quarter sales came in at $2.12 billion. Adjusted EBITDA nearly doubled to $252 million, but this number was actually down from a $289 million number in the first quarter. A similar dynamic was seen for earnings, with adjusted earnings of $1.16 per share, up from a mere $0.31 per share this time last year. Earnings were down substantially from a $1.84 per share number in the first quarter. Net debt is reported at $2.87 billion, largely having increased due to M&A efforts, yet that seems manageable. Annualized adjusted EBITDA trends around a b...

REX American Resources press release ( REX ): Q1 GAAP EPS of $0.56. Revenue of $156.5M (-1.1% Y/Y). REX reported Q1 ’26 net sales and revenue of $156.5 million, compared to Q1 ‘25 net sales and revenue of $158.3 million, primarily reflecting lower ethanol pricing. The Company reported production tax credit income of $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2026. First quarter 2026 gross profit for the Company was $29.1 million, compared with $14.3 million in Q1 ’25 as the production tax credit income and lower corn costs more than offset the lower ethanol pricing.

Confidence among chief executive officers about the US economy tumbled in the second quarter as concerns intensified about supply chains and energy. The Conference Board’s Measure of CEO Confidence dropped to 47 from 59 in the first three months of the year, according to results published Thursday. Readings below 50 indicate more negative than positive responses. Some 141 CEOs participated in the survey, which was conducted May 4-18 and released in collaboration with the Business Council. “CEOs reported that the economy is materially worse now than it was six months ago and expected economic conditions to weaken further over the next six months,” Dana Peterson , chief economist at the Conference Board, said in a statement. Nearly half of respondents said economic conditions were worse, a dramatic swing from the 8% who said as much in the first quarter. Forty percent see the business climate worsening in the next six months, up from 13% in the previous survey. At the same time, CEOs are not wavering on their capital spending plans. About 37% are expecting to increase outlays, a larger share than in the first quarter. “Additionally, the ‘low-hire, low-fire’ economy remains in place. The share of CEOs planning to increase the size of their workforce over the next 12 months edged down, while those expecting job cuts rose slightly,” Roger Ferguson , vice chairman of the Business Council and Chair Emeritus of the Conference Board, said in a statement.
