When it rains, it pours, and Tesla (TSLA 0.88%) investors got soaked throughout all of last year. Tesla drove over numerous speed bumps that include declining vehicle sales, underutilized production capacity, reputational challenges surrounding CEO Elon Musk, an aging product lineup, price war pressures especially in China, and a cooling U.S. electric vehicle market, among others. At first glance, Tesla's rebounding registrations in Europe appear like great news, but let's dig a little deeper, because it may not be all it's cracked up to be. What's going on? Here's the good news: Tesla just posted its first meaningful year-over-year growth in Europe in over a year. Tesla registered 17,425 vehicles across 15 major European markets last month, a 10% increase compared to February 2025. Here's the not-so-good news: Tesla's result in February 2025 was a fairly large disaster and a weak comparison. Investors probably hoped for a bit larger of a rebound this February, but it didn't fully materialize. Dialing back to February 2025 for context, Tesla started the year off down significantly in registrations, partly due to the Model Y refresh limiting supply. Though Tesla quickly accelerated production to desired levels, it still couldn't catch 2024 full-year results because the Model Y refresh didn't drive significant new demand or order backlogs. Tesla's particularly poor results in February 2025 didn't stop there, either, with Tesla's first-quarter 2025 European registrations crashing 37% compared to the prior year. Though it was a rough start, the automaker did manage to recover somewhat throughout the year, with 2025 registrations in Europe (excluding Poland) dropping a lesser 28% compared to 2024. This is all important to note because Tesla's year-to-date registrations in Europe through February, are down 23 vehicles exactly -- from a brutal 2025 comparison that many media outlets considered a disaster.

An explosion damaged a Jewish school in Amsterdam early on Saturday, in what the city’s mayor described as “a deliberate attack against the Jewish community”. The explosion at the school in an upmarket residential neighbourhood on the south side of Amsterdam only caused limited damage, the mayor, Femke Halsema, said in a press release, as police and firefighters arrived at the scene quickly. No injuries were reported. Security at synagogues and Jewish institutions in the Dutch capital had already been heightened after an overnight arson attack at a synagogue in the centre of Rotterdam on Friday. In neighbouring Belgium, an explosion caused a fire at a synagogue in Liege on Monday. “This is a cowardly act of aggression against the Jewish community,” Halsema said. “Jewish people in Amsterdam are increasingly confronted with antisemitism. This is unacceptable.” Concerns about possible attacks against Jewish communities around the world have risen following US and Israeli attacks on Iran and a subsequent response from Tehran.

Investing.com – The online travel agency (OTA) sector is facing a "paradigm shift" that could prove more disruptive than the entry of Google a decade ago, according to a report from Bernstein. Analysts warn that while large platforms like Booking Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:BKNG) and Expedia Inc (NASDAQ:EXPE) successfully navigated previous challenges, the rise of generative AI threatens to compress margins and erode the "supply moat" that has long protected these industry giants. From metasearch to AI agents Bernstein’s analysis notes that Google’s 2010 entry into travel was essentially an evolution of the existing metasearch model. It was a "top-of-funnel" auction that favored large, generalist platforms with high marketing budgets. AI platforms, on the other hand, utilize high-context natural language search that delivers a narrow set of highly relevant results rather than a long list of sponsored links. This shift could diminish the cost advantage of scale, making direct hotel bookings or specialist options more competitive. "The entry of AI platforms into travel is an entirely different prospect to Google," the analysts noted. "Google adopted an existing model and refined it. AI platforms are likely to completely change the model". OTAs could be forced to increase investment spend while facing "meaningful disruption" to their take rates and marketing efficiency due to the changing landscape. Analysts caution that increasing online penetration is unlikely to offset these new headwinds instead of the growth seen in the 2010s. Margin pressure and strategic pivots The report highlights how previous pressure from Google already forced significant shifts in business models. Booking transitioned toward a "merchant model" to offer more competitive prices. But this came at the cost of EBITDA margins, which remain over 3% below 2015 levels. Expedia pivoted heavily toward its B2B segment, which now accounts for more than one-third of its revenue, as its consumer-facing business ...

spinout/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis Arbor Series F Preferreds ( ABR.PR.F ) might seem at a disadvantage compared to Arbor Realty's ( ABR ) other publicly traded preferreds. Series D ( ABR.PR.D ) and Series E ( ABR.PR.E ) are cheaper, yield more, and are no less senior in the capital stack than Series F. However, ABR.PR.F's rate reset feature is unique and adds a safety layer against interest rate volatility that its sister preferreds don't have. Equally important, the reset date is approaching soon, and based on the coupon formula, ABR.PR.F could in fact turn from being the lowest dividend yielder to the highest among ABR's preferreds. ABR's Challenges ABR has been experiencing some portfolio challenges. The company provides bridge loans to property developers until a more permanent mortgage arrangement is secured, mostly to Government Sponsored Enterprises "GSEs" such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ( FNMA ), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association ( FMCC ), and other HUD programs. The company's investment portfolio stood at $12.1 billion as of December 2025. ABR GSEs work with institutional borrowers and property developers. They require that a property is stabilized - with minimum occupancy rates and recurring rent income - before they finance a property. ABR fills the timing gap between developing a property and stabilizing it. It does this by issuing bridge loans. As of December 2025, bridge loans represented 94% of ABR's portfolio ( p.5 ). Data by YCharts An increasing number of ABR borrowers have been struggling to find permanent funding, most likely because of the inability to stabilize their properties. ABR has been modifying its bridge loans for its borrowers, lowering rates, deferring payments, extending maturities, and making other concessions to help its borrowers. Still, property ownership due to foreclosures has skyrocketed, roughly tripling in FY'25 compared to the prior year. One of the ways we are resolving our legacy ...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Sanmina Corporation ( SANM ) is in a bit of a bind, in my opinion. It is beating its revenue and EPS estimates comfortably, and yet, the share price fell by 20% after it released Q1 FY26 results in late January. I believe that the dip represents a very attractive entry point, given that the price has fallen even further since then. My position is based on the fact that the selloff is mostly a result of guidance optics, not any material change in the company’s numbers. For context, Sanmina is trading at ~$127 today, with multiples like 8x forward EBITDA and 12.6x forward P/E. It is a business that is fast becoming one of the largest US-based infrastructure manufacturers globally after buying ZT Systems from AMD last October, and it is trading at a major discount to every one of its comparable peers. The disconnect is why I’m initiating coverage with a Buy. What Sanmina Is About Sanmina is a Fortune 500 electronics manufacturing services company that co-founder Jure Sola has run as Chairman and CEO since 1980. The company operates across 20 countries and has roughly 39,000 employees today , and it builds complex electronic systems for OEMs in industrial, medical, defense, automotive, and cloud and AI infrastructure markets. The business has two segments: Integrated Manufacturing Solutions (IMS), which handles the assembly side (circuit board assembly, system integration, logistics), and Components, Products, and Services (CPS), which is the more exciting segment, in my opinion. CPS is where the company’s higher-margin divisions across optical and microelectronics manufacturing, hyperscale storage platforms, defense, and aerospace work through SCI Technology and 42Q, a cloud-based manufacturing execution system running across more than 60 of Sanmina's own factories globally. CPS is the more profitable segment of the two, and it brought in roughly 14.7% non-GAAP gross margins versus IMS at around 8.7% in the latest quarterly r...

Elon Musk has ordered another round of job cuts at xAI after growing frustrated with the poor performance of its coding product, forcing out several more cofounders and parachuting in “fixers” from SpaceX and Tesla to audit the startup. The latest overhaul of the 2-year-old startup follows the success of Anthropic and OpenAI, whose AI coding tools have shaken up the software industry, multiple people familiar with the decisions said. Musk has dialled up the pressure after merging SpaceX with xAI in a $1.25 billion deal, as he attempts to meet a June deadline for what could be the biggest stock market listing in history. The world’s richest man has said his goals are to launch AI data centers into space, build factories on the Moon, and colonize Mars. Read full article Comments

North Korea on Saturday fired about 10 ballistic missiles towards the eastern sea, South Korea’s military said, staging its own show of force as the rival South conducts a joint military exercise with the United States. South Korea ’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles were fired from an area near the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, but did not immediately say how far they flew. Japan’s Defence Ministry said the weapons landed in waters outside the country’s exclusive economic zone. The South’s Joint Chiefs said the military had stepped up surveillance and was maintaining readiness against possible additional launches while closely sharing information with the US and Japan Advertisement The launches come as the US and South Korean militaries conduct their annual springtime exercises involving thousands of troops while Donald Trump ’s administration also wages an escalating war in the Middle East. The war has raised concerns about potential security lapses in South Korea, as local media – citing security camera footage and other images – have speculated that the US is relocating some missile defence assets stationed in the country to support operations against Iran US Army’s armoured vehicles move during a joint river-crossing exercise between South Korea and the United States as part of Freedom Shield in Yeoncheon on Saturday.

Just_Super/iStock via Getty Images Gold’s diverging price trends from west to east Gold prices diverged in February (Chart 1). The LBMA Gold Price PM in USD rose 4.8%, supported by factors such as heightened geopolitical risks and lower US Treasury yields , while the SHAUPM in RMB fell 1.3%, likely impacted by the 1.4% appreciation in RMB against the dollar and the Chinese New Year (CNY) holiday, which disrupted both local trading and physical gold withdrawals. So far in March, gold prices have experienced mild declines as investor expectations of the Fed’s future rate path shift. But supported by rising safe-haven demand amid the Middle East chaos, the LBMA Gold Price PM remains above the US$5,000/oz threshold, while the SHAUPM stands firmly above RMB1,100/gram. Chart 1: February saw gold prices take different directions Monthly returns of the SHAUPM in RMB and LBMA Gold Price PM in USD* *Data to 27 February 2026. (Source: Shanghai Gold Exchange, ICE Benchmark Administration, World Gold Council) Wholesale gold demand showed resilience Gold withdrawals from the SGE totalled 85t in February, a CNY month, down 32% m/m (Chart 2), mainly due to fewer working days in February (14) compared to January (20). 1 It is noteworthy that most factories in China – including jewellery manufacturers and bullion refiners – usually take longer CNY holidays than other sectors, further weighing on February activity. Compared to February 2025, also a CNY month, wholesale gold demand fell by a modest 5t. This relative resilience was likely supported by two factors: first, a lower RMB gold price helped underpin some pre‑holiday restocking; and second, bullion sales remained robust, likely driven by seasonal factors and similar factors drove gold ETF demand detailed below.
