Holders Arsenal take a two-goal lead into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Chelsea next week after a 3-1 win at the Emirates Stadium, with the quality of the goals, two disallowed Chelsea goals and the Blues’ injury woes the talking points. A Stina Blackstenius header and Chloe Kelly long-range effort made it 2-0 after the visitors had twice hit the post before Veerle Buurman’s header was ruled out for a very soft foul on Laia Codina, but Lauren James was on hand to reduce the margin in style, curling in from outside the box. Alessia Russo restored the Gunners’ cushion but there was drama at the close, when Kadeisha Buchanan’s goal was ruled out after she ploughed her foot into Anneke Borbe as she put the ball over the line.

Chevron Corp. is warning that California is careening toward an energy crisis because of the Iran war and that the company may quit refining oil in the state unless officials roll back taxes and regulations. California, the most populous US state, is highly exposed to the disruption rippling across commodity markets because it imports about 20% of its refined fuels from Asia. Now shipments from China, South Korea, Singapore and elsewhere are at risk of slowing significantly as Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, leaving Asian nations struggling to meet their own demand at home. Chevron’s oil refining head Andy Walz said the potential for fuel shortages in California is his “worst fear.” “We have refineries in Asia that are having to cut crude, and so they’re going to make less products,” Walz said in an interview Tuesday. “What if San Francisco doesn’t have the jet fuel it needs? Or Los Angeles? Or maybe gasoline?” California is disconnected from the US fuel-making centers of Texas and Louisiana, essentially making it an energy island. That’s compounded by multiple refinery closures in recent years due to increased costs driven by regulations designed to fight climate change and cap oil industry profits. As a result, California consumers are more exposed than most other Americans to surging energy prices because of the Iran war. They already pay nearly $6 for a gallon of gasoline, compared with a national average of close to $4. It’s a growing political problem for Governor Gavin Newsom , a Democrat who is expected to run for president in 2028. “California has decided that they’re going to rely on imports,” Walz said at the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference in Houston. “It’s a dangerous game.” Read More: California Diesel Prices Top $7 a Gallon to Hit Record High California officials should declare an “energy emergency,” to reform its climate and tax rules and promote in-state oil production, Walz said. Without such action, Chevron could quit refining in California wi...

Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) at the opening bell in New York on March 24, 2026. Angela Weiss | AFP | Getty Images U.S. stock futures rose Tuesday night following a news report that the U.S. has given Iran a plan that could bring the conflict to an end. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures advanced 0.7% and 0.9%, respectively. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 320 points, or 0.7%. During the day's regular session, all three major averages posted losses. The S&P 500 slipped 0.37%, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.84%. The blue-chip Dow fell 84.41 points, or 0.18%. The moves came after President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that the U.S. is " in negotiations right now " with Iran. He added that Tehran is "talking sense" and suggested it is eager to make a peace deal. The New York Times reported Tuesday afternoon that the U.S. is said to have sent Iran a peace plan to end the war, citing two unnamed officials. The 15-point plan was delivered by way of Pakistan, the outlet said. Stocks gave back some of their gains from Monday, which saw all three averages soaring more than 1% after Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that the U.S. and Iran have held "very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East." However, Iranian state media denied reports of these direct talks between the two nations. Oil prices resumed rising on Tuesday after falling the day before . Michael Kantrowitz, chief investment strategist at Piper Sandler, pointed to the commodity as the primary market driver in recent days. "We continue to see this as just an oil-driven, one-variable market," he said on CNBC's " Closing Bell: Overtime " Tuesday afternoon. "Oil and interest rates are driving the equity market. And for now, I think markets are priced appropriately for where conditions are, and we'll continue to move and react as conditions evolve." He added: "I'm less concerned a...

Livium Limited CEO & Managing Director Simon Linge talked with Kerry Stevenson from Proactive at the Small and Mid-Cap Conference about the company’s expanding role in battery recycling and its growth outlook within the renewable energy sector. Linge explained that Livium Limited operates across the battery value chain, with its core business focused on lithium-ion battery recycling through its Envirostream division. The company is also expanding into adjacent recycling markets, including solar panels and permanent magnets, driven by client demand and the broader shift toward renewable energy. He highlighted that Livium Limited works with major global clients such as BYD, Hyundai, Volvo Energy and LG Energy Solution, processing end-of-life batteries to recover valuable materials. The company’s business model is already proven, generating revenue through service fees while also sharing in the value of recovered materials. A key theme from the discussion was the strong growth outlook for the sector. Linge noted, “over the next five years, we see a fivefold increase in volumes,” pointing to a significant demand curve driven by energy storage and electric mobility adoption. The company is also progressing a joint venture with Mineral Resources to improve lithium recovery yields in mining, offering additional upside without requiring further capital investment from Livium Limited. With supportive regulation, strong demand growth and opportunities for strategic partnerships and M&A, Livium Limited is positioning itself as a leader in Australia’s battery recycling industry. #proactiveinvestors #ASX #lit #Livium #ASXLIT #BatteryRecycling #LithiumIon #EVBatteries #RenewableEnergy #EnergyStorage #CleanTech #MiningTech #Sustainability #Recycling #ProactiveInvestors #EVGrowth

In this article O9T-FF ARM Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 15:24 15:24 Inside Arm’s $71 million chip lab where its making its first ever CPU Tech Arm Holdings stock popped 6% in after-hours trading on Tuesday as CEO Rene Haas announced 2031 annual revenue expectations that were more than six times what it was in 2025. Haas unveiled Arm's first in-house chip on Tuesday at an event in San Francisco, with Meta as the initial customer. CNBC got an exclusive first look at the chip earlier this month, visiting the lab Arm built for it in Austin, Texas. Arm stock closed about 1.5% lower on Tuesday following the chip announcement. Haas said Arm expects the new chip to generate roughly $15 billion in annual revenue by 2031, with total annual revenue of $25 billion and earnings per share of $9. Central processing units are seeing a resurgence of demand as agentic AI changes compute needs. Haas predicted CPUs will see a fourfold increase in demand around agentic AI. "We may be under-calling that number," Haas said Tuesday. "I think the demand is higher than we think it is." It's a huge lift for the chip design firm that generated just over $4 billion in annual revenue in 2025.

Aleksandr Golubev/iStock via Getty Images I always appreciate companies that are showing attractive growth. But as a value investor, the price for that growth has to be appropriate. In some instances, it is. In others, it's not even close. Back in December when I last looked at Core & Main, Inc. ( CNM ), I found myself impressed with the overall financial performance of the business. However, I made the case that, for all the growth that the company was exhibiting, upside potential was likely limited from that point on. This led me to take a more neutral stance on the business, ultimately calling it a Hold. Since that time, the stock has performed along the lines of what I would have anticipated. While the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) is down 3.8%, its stock is down 3.4%. This is even in spite of a 4.5% jump in share price that we saw on March 24th after management reported financial results for the final quarter of the company's 2025 fiscal year. Those figures were actually mixed. Revenue, for instance, fell short of analysts’ expectations. But at the same time, earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share both came in above what they were anticipating. What's more, management is forecasting some growth this year, specifically on the top line and when it comes to EBITDA. But at the end of the day, the stock just does not look cheap enough on an absolute basis to justify all that bullish outlook. Instead, it makes for a much better Hold candidate than it does a Buy right now. A Mixed Bag The final quarter of the 2025 fiscal year was an interesting time for shareholders of Core & Main. Take revenue, for starters. It actually fell year over year, dropping from $1.70 billion to $1.58 billion. At first glance, this is a bit surprising. I say this because, for the year as a whole, revenue grew 2.8%, from $7.44 billion to $7.65 billion. The decline in sales, according to management, was actually because of an extra selling week that the company had in 2024. Actual average dail...
