Apriori1/iStock via Getty Images Autohome Inc. ( ATHM ), a platform for everything related to automobiles in China, has been dreadful to follow in the past eight months or so, especially if you are bullish. This is because the stock lost close to half its value at one point during this period. However, there is reason to be optimistic the decline could be over, or close to it, if only because the decline has already lasted a long time and is due for change. There are also other signs that may herald the long decline could be over, especially with a potential catalyst coming up with ATHM scheduled to release its next earnings report on May 28. Green shoots may have started to appear after a long decline In my November 2025 article about ATHM, I took note of the selloff that had removed a big chunk from ATHM’s market cap. This made betting on ATHM somewhat daunting, but the selloff could also be seen as an opportunity to get in on ATHM at a lower price, which could pay off if there was a rebound in the stock, something the article speculated could happen with the stock close to a price level where ATHM had a history of turning it around on multiple occasions. Accordingly, I decided to rate ATHM a buy in the article. Source: Thinkorswim app The stock was trading close to the mid twenties at the time and as recently as late January, ATHM could still be had at close to this level because the stock went mostly sideways, but another leg down, which may have been influenced by geopolitical events in the Middle East, took the stock price to $16.92 per ADS on March 27, the lowest the stock went for on a closing basis since ATHM went public in an IPO in 2013. On an intraday basis, the stock went as low as $16.74 on March 30, although it ended the day higher than on Friday, March 27, the preceding trading day. The stock went for a rebound afterwards, helped by the prospect of a possible end to the war in the Middle East, which triggered a stock market rally. However, the reboun...

神舟二十三號載人飛船即將升空，除了可能首次有香港航天員，亦首次有香港的科研項目參與，有助香港推展太空經濟。 神舟二十三號載人飛船，船箭組合體已運到酒泉衛星發射中心發射區，航天員乘組名單，一般在升空前一日揭盅，外界關注會否包含首位港產航天員擔任載荷專家，上太空站負責科學實驗和研究。 數十項實驗當中，包括科大這部「天韻相機」，是本港首次有項目進駐國家太空站，它並非普通相機，而是監測全球溫室氣體與碳排放的精密儀器，科大團隊表示很期待由香港載荷專家操控。 科大太空科學與技術研究院院長蘇慧表示：「我們香港不僅是一個國家科研任務的旁觀者或參與者，我們甚至是一個引領者，對於香港航天科技發展意義非常重大。」 相比外國類似項目要用8至10年研發，科大用2年就完成，技術亦領先全球，團隊形容是奇蹟，展現「香港速度」及「香港精神」。 蘇慧說：「能特別吃苦，遇到困難不放棄、追求卓越，我們香港實際上有能力做這種高精尖的技術研發，而且也有能攻堅克難的韌性。」 理大團隊亦正積極籌備，他們的項目最快兩年後升空，在中國太空站測試不同重力下，沙土、碎石如何流動，有助未來登月、探測火星時，安全降落及活動。 理大深空探測研究中心成員兼副教授趙奇指出：「3D打印、精密儀器等，這些我們香港的科學家其實做得非常好，香港本身處於非常國際化的環境，所以在國際化合作有非常大優勢，增加中國航天在全世界的影響力。」 學者認為香港有科研人才，亦是全球金融中心，適合發展「太空經濟」較高增值的部分，例如衛星數據交易、太空保險等。 趙奇稱：「探索地球軌道及月球不再是遙不可及的未來，是我們未來五年、十年就已經能看到即將發生的事情。」 去年《施政報告》，「太空經濟」有獨立篇章，政府撥款一億支援大學航天研發。 趙奇表示：「一億是肯定不夠，不管是衛星還是登月，它所消耗的資金是遠超一億這量級。」 蘇慧表示：「如果港府能設立一個專門的航天相關部門，管理跟航天相關一些政策、法規，還有將來我們可能要發射很多衛星，衛星之間怎樣管理避免碰撞，更有效利用空間環境，還有很多工作可做。」 學者認為香港應參考內地怎樣發展「太空經濟」，並與周邊地區協同發展，做到產業優勢互補。亦要避免「短炒」心態，因為往往要數年甚至數十年，才能見到太空科研成果。

jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction Uber Technologies, Inc. ( UBER ) has continued to underperform the broader market, having declined nearly 10% YTD and ~5% since my prior publication on this name. Despite investors sustained lack of enthusiasm, I remain bullish, despite the fact that I have identified a couple of new risk factors that may loom over the stock for some time. Given this background, let's dive into my analysis of Uber. Catalysts and Uber's Autonomous Future I want to begin by highlighting some of Uber's strategies to expand its existing business lines, followed by a discussion surrounding AVs. The Uber One loyalty program now has over 50 million members, which is growing around 50% YoY and accounts for roughly half of the firm’s gross bookings. I view this program as being related to management’s goal of becoming an all-in-one superapp, as having consumers subscribe to membership programs is imperative to staying on top. The business is also beginning to launch a slew of new features, such as allowing consumers to book hotels and receive personalized recommendations when traveling. As part of this initiative, Uber has partnered with Expedia Group, Inc. ( EXPE ) to allow users to book hotels directly through the Uber app. The eventual goal is to broaden the selection of hotels to over 700 thousand unique properties over the coming years, although it was not stated exactly how many are currently available as of the initial launch of this partnership. Furthermore, Uber’s management team stated that they have “taken most of the economics of that deal,” which should allow the firm to pass off benefits to members of its loyalty program. Now let’s turn the discussion to the most exciting topic when it comes to demand aggregation platforms in the modern day, and that is autonomous. Uber now has over 30 deals signed with companies operating in the autonomous mobility and delivery spaces, and management noted that AV Mobility rides on th...

09.29 BST Andy Burnham to launch Makerfield byelection campaign as Green candidate quits Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of UK politics. Andy Burnham is set to officially launch his campaign as the Labour candidate in the Makerfield byelection this morning, as he seeks a return to parliament after nine years. Also this morning, the Greens have re-opened its candidate selection process for the byelection after Chris Kennedy pulled out less than 12 hours after being announced as the party’s candidate. We should be hearing from Burnham from about 10.45am for the official launch, although he has already been pictured out and about canvassing in the Greater Manchester constituency this week. Andy Burnham out canvassing ahead of the byelection Photograph: Ryan Jenkinson/Getty Images He is widely expected to challenge Keir Starmer for the Labour leadership if he becomes an MP, but the prime minister has said he will be out campaigning in support of Burnham ahead of the vote on 18 June. “Yes, and I’ve said to the whole Labour movement that I want everybody to be involved in the campaign, whatever other discussions are going on, it’s really important – that’s a straight fight between Labour and Reform,” Starmer said. Meanwhile, Kennedy, the Green’s candidate for the byelection, withdrew from the ballot nine hours after being announced, with the party citing “personal and family reasons”. The Times reported it had approached Kennedy about a series of social media posts he had shared about an attack on Jewish ambulances in north London in April. An Instagram video shared by Kennedy described the arrests of two men over the incident as “total bullshit to keep the false flag flying”, the paper reported.

Stock futures rose slightly on Friday morning as investors watched for progress in talks to end the conflict with Iran. The small gains show that Wall Street is feeling a bit more hopeful that peace talks could succeed, which has helped calm market fears about disruptions to global oil supplies. Here are some of Friday's biggest stock movers: Biggest stock gainers Workday ( WDAY ) +11% - Shares jumped after the company reported FQ1 results and guidance above Wall Street expectations. Adjusted EPS came in at $2.66 on revenue of $2.54B, while subscription revenue rose 14.3% Y/Y to $2.35B and operating margins topped estimates. Workday also issued stronger-than-expected Q2 subscription revenue guidance and raised its full-year adjusted operating margin outlook, with management highlighting growing momentum around its AI strategy and enterprise platform adoption. Zoom Communications ( ZM ) +8% - Shares gained after the company reported Q1 results that topped Wall Street expectations and raised its full-year guidance. Q1 adjusted EPS climbed to $1.55, supported by 7.2% growth in enterprise revenue, while CEO Eric Yuan highlighted strong adoption of AI products, including a 184% jump in paid AI Companion users. Zoom now expects FY2026 revenue of $5.08B-$5.09B and adjusted EPS of $5.96-$6.00, both above consensus estimates. However, the company issued more muted Q2 guidance that came in roughly in line with expectations. Take-Two Interactive ( TTWO ) +6% - Shares climbed after the company reaffirmed the November 19 launch date for the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 in its quarterly earnings release. Analysts see the blockbuster title driving billions in revenue and a major boost to future earnings, with Oppenheimer projecting GTA 6 sales of 40M units in FY2027 and meaningful contributions from high-margin GTA Online revenue. The launch is also expected to benefit gaming and hardware companies, including Sony, Microsoft, GameStop, Advanced Micro Devices, NVIDIA, and ...

本次访问更为重大的意义在于，中美双方对于两国关系的定位，同时都在发生变化 2026年5月13日，北京，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普抵达北京首都国际机场。图：Mark Schiefelbein/视觉中国 上周，美国总统特朗普对中国进行了为期三天的国事访问，这是时隔九年后美国总统再次访华。作为当今世界最重要双边关系中的一件大事，此次访问成为2026年最受瞩目的国际事件之一。鉴于中美在关税、出口管制以及乌克兰和伊朗局势等议题上立场分歧依旧，甚至不时交锋，双方在会晤之初便对成果抱持着务实且理性的预期。因此，尽管中方此次给予了特朗普总统极为隆重的国事访问礼遇与热情接待，但两国在峰会结束后并未立即发表联合声明，这一结果本应在意料之中。 推荐进入 财新数据库 ，可随时查阅宏观经济、股票债券、公司人物，财经数据尽在掌握。

SpaceX publicly released an investor prospectus on Wednesday as part of its plan for a $1.75tn debut on the US stock market next month, revealing unseen details about the finances and future plans of Elon Musk’s flagship company. In addition to new information on operating costs and revenue, the filing also included trademark Muskian sweeping proclamations about the universe and insights into some of the quirks of his tech empire. Scattered throughout the 300-plus-page prospectus are several disclosures and risk warnings that show the eccentricities of Musk’s company and its cosmic ambitions. Other financial details in the document highlight how interdependent Musk’s various businesses have become and the risks that they carry. As SpaceX barrels towards the largest initial public offering (IPO) in the history of the US stock market, here is a look at some of the strange details buried within its filing. SpaceX spent about $131m on Cybertrucks last year View image in fullscreen Tesla Cybertrucks are parked outside a SpaceX facility in Starbase, Texas, on 21 May. Photograph: Ronaldo Schemidt/AFP/Getty Images SpaceX appears to have done extensive business with Tesla, spending hundreds of millions of dollars with Musk’s electric car company in recent years. Although much of that money – $506m to Tesla in 2025 and $191m in 2024 – went to purchasing Tesla’s Megapack battery product, SpaceX also spent lavishly on Cybertrucks. The prospectus discloses that in 2025 SpaceX obtained $131m worth of Cybertrucks at the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, which ranges between about $69,900 and $99,900, depending on the options. At that price, SpaceX would have acquired at least 1,300 vehicles. Tesla only sold a total of 20,237 Cybertrucks last year, according to auto industry sales reports, meaning that SpaceX’s purchases made up a significant portion of its overall sales. Extend ‘the light of consciousness’ to the stars Throughout the investor prospectus, SpaceX reiterates tha...

More than 4m homes in the UK now have air conditioning, double the figure from three years ago. Portable units with power ratings around 1kW are slightly more common than the more powerful built-in versions that can guzzle 2.7kW of power – more than an electric oven. Experts suggest the increase in ownership is the result of more people working from home and rising summer temperatures. Some of the UK’s warmest summers have been seen in recent years, including the UK’s hottest ever day when temperatures hit 40C in July 2022. Of the 4m households with air conditioning, nearly 1.9m have built-in units with power ratings up to 2.7kW. In a typical week, households use their units for about four hours, but when temperatures are high, they use them for just over nine hours a day, sending the cost soaring from £2.93 a week to £42.43 a week. The 2.2 m homes with portable air conditioning units – which use 1kW of power – typically use them for about three hours a week at a cost of 83p. During hot spells, when they are used for more than nine hours a day, this bill rises to £15.71 a week. More than 260,000 UK households now have heat pumps that can be used to cool homes. Heat pumps work like traditional air conditioning units by extracting heat from the home and releasing it outside. A typical air source heat pump used in cooling mode will use about 1kWh an hour, costing a similar amount to a portable air conditioning unit – although the heat pump is likely to be more efficient at cooling large rooms. British homes will need air conditioning to survive predicted levels of global heating, the government’s climate advisers warned in a report, as measures such as drawing curtains, opening windows and growing trees for shade are not likely to be enough. Air conditioning should be installed in all care homes and hospitals within the next 10 years, and in all schools within 25 years, according to the Climate Change Committee (CCC), which published its findings on adapting to the imp...

Thomas Tuchel has named his England squad for this summer’s World Cup, handing a shock call-up to Ivan Toney, picking Djed Spence over the exiled Trent Alexander-Arnold and, as expected, finding no space for Harry Maguire, Cole Palmer and Phil Foden. Tuchel, charged with leading England to glory in Canada, Mexico and the US, called players about his plans on Wednesday and Thursday and confirmed his selection on Friday morning. The German has gone against the public mood with some of his calls, not least with the decision to bring in Toney from the cold. The Al-Ahli striker has not played for England since June 2025 but has scored 42 goals for the Saudi Pro League side and was part of Gareth Southgate’s squad at Euro 2024. Tuchel, perhaps surprisingly, has picked two strikers to provide cover for Harry Kane, with Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins also included. That meant the available slots in the No 10 position went to Jude Bellingham, Morgan Rogers and Eberechi Eze, leaving no room for Palmer and Foden after disappointing seasons for Chelsea and Manchester City respectively. Palmer has struggled for form and fitness, and Tuchel is thought to have reservations over whether the 24-year-old has the personality for a camp that could last seven weeks. With Morgan Gibbs-White also excluded, Tuchel has not been afraid to make some unpopular decisions. There will be many England fans wondering why Alexander-Arnold has not made the cut. The Real Madrid right-back has not been in a squad since last June, though, and Tuchel has gone on the record to say he does not trust him defensively. Alexander-Arnold was so low down the pecking order that the last name to be confirmed in the squad was Spence, who has been in and out of the Tottenham side this season. Spence also sustained a broken jaw after being fouled by Chelsea’s Liam Delap on Tuesday.

When I was 20, I could sleep anywhere: a friend’s floor, a sofa – even a phone box one night. These days, I won’t get a single one of 40 winks if I’m not lying on a decent mattress. Comfy but firm, cosy but breathable, and with lots of cool spots for my feet. The Guardian’s journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link.

Pocket springs are still around, but they face stiff – well, medium-firm – competition from hybrid mattresses that combine springs and memory foam for the ideal balance of comfort and support. Many of today’s trendiest brands don’t have showrooms, so you can’t usually try before you buy. Instead, these bed-in-a-box models come with generous trial periods – but you’re still buying blind. That’s why I’ve tested them myself to help you separate the dream buys from the nightmares. I, along with a panel of family members, tested 14 bestselling bed-in-a-box mattresses – including two in this latest update. Among them were four pocket-sprung models, two all-foam models and several bed-in-a-box hybrids, covering various degrees of firmness, features and price. Here’s how we got on.

Speaking on the BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Labour MP Phillips said: "For those young women going through a rape trial like this will not have been a simple thing to do, it will have been many, many months if not years to achieve any sort of justice and I am afraid to say it sends a bad message."

Funding for China’s artificial-intelligence-related start-ups jumped nearly threefold year on year in the first quarter, as investors poured capital into large language models (LLMs) and embodied AI amid growing optimism over the country’s technology ecosystem. AI-related start-ups secured more than 110 billion yuan (US$16.2 billion) in the first three months of the year, representing a 185 per cent surge from the same period last year, according to data released on Thursday by Beijing-based venture capital and private equity research firm Zero2IPO Research. The AI boom has helped lift China’s broader private equity and venture capital market. Total investment activity reached 2,568 deals worth 234.4 billion yuan in the March quarter, representing year-on-year increases of nearly 5 per cent in deal volume and over 15 per cent in value, the report showed. Advertisement Several of the quarter’s largest fundraising rounds were completed by leading generative AI developers, including Moonshot AI, StepFun, Z.ai (formerly Zhipu AI ) and MiniMax, as well as embodied AI firm Galaxea AI. The blockbuster rounds reflect intense investor appetite for automation and advanced computing infrastructure. Zero2IPO also reported a sharp rebound in foreign-currency investments. The number of foreign-currency deals more than doubled year on year to 210, while disclosed investment value skyrocketed over 495 per cent to 67.3 billion yuan, with capital primarily targeting AI and consumer companies. Cornerstone investments in Hong Kong initial public offerings remained active, according to the report.

BrianAJackson/iStock via Getty Images AI, Layoffs, and the Labor Market The corporate boardroom has seemingly evolved into the labor market courtroom, with executives across the country serving as judge, jury, and proverbial “job executioner.” Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, hiring surged on the back of renewed economic optimism and fiscal stimulus. But then, as inflationary pressures mounted, that “hopium” quickly subsided and reversed course. In 2022, Fortune 500 companies began announcing layoffs, with the catalyst of choice at the time sounding something like “trimming for operational efficiency.” Seeking Alpha, Layoffs.fyi For the last couple of years, layoffs have drawn down to a steady, albeit relatively non-panic-inducing, rate. However, in 2026 the trend seems to be on the upswing once more, with roughl y 114,000 tec h employees laid off within the first five months, marking the highest period since early 2023. Unlike in 2022, this wave of layoffs appears to be more structural, deliberate, and tied to the advancements and adoption of artificial intelligence into workflows. Meta, Intuit Are The Latest AI-Related Layoffs In 2026 Just this week, we saw back-to-back announcements from two tech giants announcing layoffs: Meta Platforms ( META ) : Meta announced on May 20, 2026, that they would be eliminating roughly 8,000 positions globally. CNBC reported that CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated in his memo to employees that, “success isn’t a given” and that “AI is the most consequential technology of our lifetimes.” Intuit ( INTU ) : In an even more aggressive move, Intuit announced it would be cutting about 17% of its workforce. Reuters cited an email to Intuit staff from CEO Sasan Goodarzi, saying that the layoffs are intended to simplify the company’s structure and help it produce better products while sharpening the company’s focus and efforts to incorporate AI. These moves by Meta and Intuit are just the latest examples of the wider trend that has spread to al...
