jetcityimage A federal judge ruled that Berkshire Hathaway's ( BRK.B ) ( BRK.A ) HomeServices of America brokerage unit must face a proposed antitrust suit that alleges it conspired to inflate commissions that home sellers pay real estate agents, according to a media report on Thursday. The judge said the brokerage's $250M settlement for the same claims in 2024 doesn't protect the company from the new suit, Reuters reported. The HomeServices settlement was separate from a $418M settlement reached between plaintiffs and the National Association of Realtors (NAR). U.S. District Judge Stephen Bough in Kansas City, Missouri, rejected Berkshire Hathaway Energy's argument that the alleged dealings with HomeServices qualified as a “single enterprise” for antitrust purposes. Under BHE's reasoning, the company didn't owe additional damages to home sellers due to the settlement. The NAR changed its real estate commission rules after a jury in 2023 ordered the trade group and four brokerages to pay $1.8B to home sellers who said they were overcharged. The defendants later settled, but some objectors, which included home buyers and sellers, asked the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to void the settlement as inadequate. Oral arguments were held in January, Reuters said. Despite the ruling, class B shares in Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.B ), which is better known for its insurance businesses, rose 1.4% in Thursday afternoon trading.

Companies are not going to abandon Salesforce altogether in the age of artificial intelligence, but they are changing how they use it and what they expect.

Companies are not going to abandon Salesforce altogether in the age of artificial intelligence, but they are changing how they use it and what they expect. For Morgan DeBaun, CEO and co-founder of digital media group Blavity, cost-saving enabled by AI is a major factor in how she views Salesforce going forward. Blavity, which aims to serve Black audiences, spends about $1 million per year on enterprise software across roughly a dozen vendors, including Salesforce. Once its current six-figure contract expires in early 2027, DeBaun plans to replace Salesforce's customer relationship management (CRM) platform with a more cost-efficient AI solution. She said the move will result in savings of at least 50% to 60%. DeBaun told CNBC she does not plan to sever ties with Salesforce completely. She wants to hold onto Slack, which Salesforce bought for nearly $28 billion in 2021, because rebuilding a workplace messaging platform internally is too expensive and complex, even with AI. Just last week, Salesforce unveiled new AI features for Slack, following a big January agentic update . DeBaun, however, does not want to pay Salesforce or any other enterprise software vendor more money for AI features. "I would expect their AI features to be included in their base offering," she explained. "What they're all doing is trying to upcharge us to use the AI features, which should be endemic to their product naturally." She added that higher prices for AI are not translating into better efficiency. The shift reflects the broader debate on Wall Street over whether applications built using AI coding assistants from newcomers like Anthropic and OpenAI will disrupt traditional enterprise software companies like Salesforce. AI disruption worries have crushed software stocks this year, as investors have adopted a sell-first, ask-questions-later approach. While AI tools do make it easier for companies to build custom CRM and data management systems, many businesses, like Blavity, still rely on...

Wall Street traders paced a rebound in stocks as an oil rally waned after Israel agreed to direct talks with Lebanon, bolstering expectations that a US ceasefire deal will hold. The US and Iran prepared for peace talks in Pakistan after agreeing on a two-week ceasefire, though issues such as Israel’s offensive in Lebanon and the opening of Hormuz remain unresolved. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to hold direct talks with Lebanon, with the focus on disarming Hezbollah. President Donald Trump has called him, asking for a scale-back in strikes to ensure the success of negotiations with Iran, NBC reported.

When you make less than $50,000 per year, it can sometimes feel like you're living your life on hard mode, especially when it comes to retirement savings. You do your best to use your income wisely, but your monthly expenses leave little room for you to build a nest egg. If boosting your income or lowering expenses aren't options, you have to focus on stretching the savings you have as far as possible. A big part of that is choosing the right retirement accounts, and two in particular really stand out. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Texas Pacific Land Crashes After Largest Shareholder Dies Land-and-royalty company Texas Pacific Land Corp. crashed the most since early Covid after the head of its largest shareholder unexpectedly died. Bloomberg reports that Murray Stahl, CEO of Horizon Kinetics and a TPL board member, died on Thursday, sending shares spiraling lower by 17% in late-afternoon trading. This marked the largest intraday decline in the stock since early 2020. Stahl was described as a longtime believer in TPL, one of the largest private landowners in Texas, with most of its acreage concentrated in the oil-rich Permian Basin of West Texas. TPL generates revenue by owning land, collecting oil and gas royalties from activity on that land, and selling or managing water-related services tied to drilling and production. "His firm, Horizon Kinetics, along with its predecessors, had been TPL's largest shareholder for many decades. Murray believed in the Company when it was still a thinly-traded, little-known trust that simply owned some land in west Texas," TPL CEO Ty Glover wrote in a press release. Bloomberg data show that Horizon Kinetics is TPL's largest shareholder, owning 10.3 million shares, or about 14.99% of the tradable shares outstanding. The cause of death was not immediately released by the family or TPL's CEO. The plunge in TPL shares following the death of its largest shareholder likely reflects uncertainty about the company's future direction, as well as the possibility that Horizon could eventually reduce its stake. The volatility may also result from TPL's tight float and thin trading, which can amplify price swings when unexpected news hits. * * * Tyler Durden Thu, 04/09/2026 - 15:00

Kosmos ( KOS ) volumes have improved in Mauritania and Senegal after a challenging start-up at Tortue; the company still has signi fi cant oil beta and investors have raised mid-cycle Brent expectations closer to Goldman's mid-cycle outlook of $75/bbl, based on dialogue; and Kosmos has taken steps to reduce debt—but after sharp outperformance, Mehta said he sees less upside than for large-cap peers such as ConocoPhillips ( COP ) and mid-cap names such as Ovintiv ( OVV ), Permian Resources ( PR ), and Viper Energy ( VNOM ). Mehta also said he views quarterly and operational execution as a key risk for Kosmos ( KOS ) in light of past project delays, cost overruns, and negative guidance revisions, and the analyst expects a more conservative production outlook for Jubilee results due to a history of operational challenges over prior quarters relating to riser instability, FPSO downtime, insufficient water injection, and power reliability issues. While recent transactions have addressed immediate cash needs, Mehta said he maintains a cautious view of Kosmos' ( KOS ) debt levels, which remain elevated compared to U.S. and global E&Ps.
