Jane Helman's spilled coffee led to a lucrative business idea.

格隆汇5月8日｜美国能源部长克里斯・赖特表示，伊朗石油日产量或已缩减约40万桶。赖特周四在福克斯新闻的采访中称：“随着储油设施逐渐爆满、石油出口渠道受阻，伊朗大概率会继续减产。”赖特表示，若这种状况持续过久，伊朗将被迫关停部分低压老旧油田。他称，此举可能对油田造成永久性损伤，并导致产能永久下降。赖特还提到，伊朗石油产能面临永久性受损的风险，或将成为推动各方结束冲突的又一诱因。船舶数据分析机构 Vortexa 的数据显示，在美国实施封锁前，伊朗3月份石油日出口量为184万桶；2月份的日出口量则为215万桶。

Stocks soared to new heights in April, and leveraged exchange-traded funds may have added fuel to that fire. As the S & P 500 saw its best monthly performance in more than five years last month, flows into mutual funds and ETFs held steady at roughly $90 billion, according to JPMorgan. However, when incorporating a $100 billion rebalancing flow from leveraged ETFs, the net flow from global equity funds totaled a new record of $190 billion, the firm added. That popularity may have given momentum to the bull market's comeback. "The $100bn estimated rebalancing flow by leveraged equity ETFs during April was the highest monthly rebalancing flow on record and given this flow tends to reverberate at the end of the day in a price insensitive manner, it has certainly acted as a strong amplification force for the equity market during April," wrote a team of global markets strategists headed by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou in a note this week. Leveraged ETFs aim to magnify returns, multiplying the underlying asset's daily performance. However, these funds can also amplify losses if the asset they're pegged to sells off. With the funds' popularity offering a boost, leveraged ETFs can work to the downside if things start to turn for the worse in the market. Some of the more popular ones seen last month may not exactly be favorable for long-term investors given their high risk, daily resets and high fees. Below are the top 10 leveraged ETFs seen in April, based on average volume through the month, per FactSet.

Mohammed Haneefa Nizamudeen Akebia Therapeutics ( AKBA ) plummeted more than 20% after reporting a muted Q1 print. It was trading 20.61% lower at $1.18 at noon. The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based firm reported a loss of -$0.03 per share, which was in line with analysts’ estimates, while revenue of $53.5M beat consensus.

The total number of prescribers increased by 28% to around 1,025 in Q1. “The number of patients on Vafseo increased through the start of the year, and we are further encouraged by trends suggesting continued growth as we leverage improved patient access and adherence as dialysis organizations implement observed dosing protocols,” said Akebia CEO John Butler. Auryxia net product revenues were $36.2 million in the quarter, while license, collaboration, and other revenues were $1.6 million. Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, were around $162.6 million. The company said. The stock has declined over 27% in the year so far, compared to a 7% rise in the broader markets.

Vic Harper on why the government should ensure better access to fresh food Your article on UK food prices being on track to be 50% higher by November 2026 ( 4 May ), read alongside your editorial on unhealthy Britain ( 3 May ) describes a single story from two ends. Food has become unaffordable and the households absorbing those price rises are getting sicker. By the time poor health shows up in the data, families have been cutting food quality, quantity and variety for years. The Bread and Butter Thing runs affordable food clubs from Maidstone to Northumberland, supporting more than 10,000 households each week. Last week alone, 439 new members joined our network. Our 2025 survey of more than 8,500 members shows the mechanism playing out. Among households with £0-£25 left each month after housing and energy bills, 87% describe their overall health as not good.

Earnings Call Insights: Lincoln National Corporation (LNC) Q1 2026 Management View “Our first quarter results reflect continued execution with adjusted operating income increasing 16%, marking our seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth,” said Ellen Cooper (Chairman, President & CEO), adding that Lincoln’s priorities remain “fortifying our capital foundation, optimizing our operating model and driving profitable growth across our businesses.” Cooper highlighted product-mix moves in Annuities: “Total sales were $3.9 billion with spread-based products representing 64% of sales as we evolve toward a more balanced and less market-sensitive business mix.” She also said variable annuity sales “were down year-over-year…consistent with our objective to reduce market sensitivity over time.” Cooper pointed to Life momentum but cautioned about timing: “First quarter life sales were $129 million, up over 30% from the prior year…although it will take time to meaningfully flow through to earnings and free cash flow.” Christopher Neczypor (Executive VP & CFO) framed the quarter as supported by underwriting and investments: “We reported first quarter adjusted operating income available to common stockholders of $326 million or $1.66 per diluted share,” and said the quarter included “2 normalizing items,” including alternative investment performance and “a onetime $7 million impact due to unfavorable tax-related items.” Outlook Neczypor said Retirement Plan Services outflows are expected to rise near term: “As we look to the second quarter…we expect net outflows to be elevated in the range of $2 billion to $2.5 billion, driven by a small number of known plan terminations, the majority of which did not meet our profitability targets.” On Annuities fee income sensitivity, Neczypor said the Q1 ending balance dynamic matters: “We would expect this lower starting balance to be a headwind to fee income beginning in the second quarter,” while adding, “equity markets have recov...

Jean Coussins says a cross-party Lords committee has been tasked with coming up with a plan to normalise resilience in our everyday lives Your editorial ( Britain’s fragile systems: when global shocks hit your shopping bill, 1 May ) makes clear that the public need to be more fully informed about global threats and actively engaged in a national resilience plan. The UK remains dangerously exposed to external shocks, whether from cyber-attacks, extreme weather triggered by climate change, or hostile state interference with our democratic processes and critical national infrastructure. A cross-party House of Lords special inquiry committee , which I chair, has been set up to examine national resilience. “Keep calm and carry on” doesn’t cut it: a plan for the 21st century needs to recognise the interconnectedness of threats: a cyber-attack can quickly escalate into power cuts, transport chaos, supply chain disruption and the collapse of public services. And this is not a case of “what if”: hybrid warfare emanating from Russia, China or Iran as cyber-attacks, disinformation or the sponsorship of proxy terrorist attacks is already commonplace.

Suja Life Inc. shares fell 14% in its trading debut on Thursday, after the initial public offering for the maker of organic cold-pressed juices and other nutritional beverages raised $186.7 million. The company’s shares opened at $18 on Thursday in New York, below the IPO price of $21 apiece. The trading gives the company a market value of $695 million, based on the outstanding shares in its filings.

Suja Life restructured the IPO to consist solely of new shares, people familiar with the matter have said .

The juice maker had a net loss of $23.3 million on revenue of $326.6 million for its fiscal year ended December 2025, compared with a net loss of $20.8 million on revenue of $258.9 million a year earlier, according to the filings.

Earnings Call Insights: Texas Pacific Land Corporation (TPL) Q1 2026 Management View “TPL's first quarter 2026 marked a strong start to the year as TPL generated record quarterly total revenue, net income and free cash flow,” said Tyler Glover (President, CEO & Trustee), while noting that “oil and gas royalty production averaged approximately 37,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day, roughly flat sequentially, and up roughly 19% year-over-year.” Glover tied near-term upside to commodity exposure, saying “with crude oil prices spiking dramatically over the last few months, TPL is poised to benefit directly through our oil and gas royalties,” and emphasized positioning, adding, “with our unhedged commodity position, we are fully capturing the direct upside from elevated oil prices.” On “power generation and data centers,” Glover said, “during the quarter, we entered into an agreement to sell a small section of land for $43 million, which is structured into annual payments over a 20-year period,” and added, “we have entered into a separate commercial agreement to supply water for this same development,” while cautioning that “we are currently limited in providing additional details.” On produced water desalination progress, Glover said, “our Phase 2b 10,000 barrel per day facility is nearly complete,” adding, “we expect to begin flowing inlet water barrels in the coming weeks,” and framed the objective as evaluating “whether produced water desalination can work economically at scale.” Chris Steddum (Chief Financial Officer) reported, “consolidated revenues during the first quarter of 2026 were approximately $237 million,” adding that “consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $181 million” and “free cash flow was $136 million.” Outlook Management did not provide formal revenue, EPS, or full-year guidance figures in this transcript; Glover instead described scenario-driven expectations, saying, “oil prices could very well remain elevated for quite some time,” and “if so, we woul...

Earnings Call Insights: TerrAscend (TSND:CA) Q1 2026 Management view Jason Wild (Executive Chairman) framed U.S. medical cannabis rescheduling as a profitability and capital-markets catalyst, saying, "The most immediate impact will be the elimination of the 280E tax burden on medical cannabis, which will materially improve profitability, further strengthen our balance sheet and lower our cost of capital over time." He also tied the change to potential market structure shifts, adding that rescheduling "provid[es] public multistate operators such as TerrAscend with an opportunity to uplist onto a U.S. exchange such as the NASDAQ or the NYSE" and cited "the potential for retroactive tax relief" as "meaningful upside opportunity." Wild also flagged upcoming U.S. hemp regulation as a competitive reset, calling the "approximately $20 billion to $30 billion psychoactive hemp market" the industry’s "largest competitor" and saying, "We are confident in our ability to produce best-in-class experiences across our branded and CPG portfolios and eagerly look forward to capturing the psychoactive hemp consumer as they turn back to the regulated market." Ziad Ghanem (President & CEO) emphasized retail strength and brand momentum in New Jersey, saying, "All 3 Apothecarium locations ranked within the top 25 and gained market share quarter-over-quarter" and that the company is maintaining leadership positions in vape and edibles. He also highlighted Pennsylvania capacity additions ahead of potential adult-use, saying, "We reactivated 6 additional cultivation rooms late last year with our first harvest completed in April. We expect product to be available for sale this quarter," and stressed this leverages existing infrastructure "without incremental CapEx."
