(4AD) Lyrics about naked owls and eating rocks might be irksome to some – but there’s no denying that the alt-rocker’s fifth album is beguiling, tightly written and richly melodic Aldous Harding cuts a divisive figure in the world of alt-rock. To her devotees – and there are enough of them to warrant her playing three nights at London’s Barbican later this month – she is a strange and endlessly fascinating figure. Her lyrics are mysteries to be unpicked for deeper meaning, like dreams awaiting analysis. On Train on the Island, her fifth album, you’re invited to make some kind of sense of stuff about naked owls, having your face covered with bechamel sauce, seeing “the real John Cale” silently eating rice, “Sicilians reaching over the clams”, and the imponderable lines: “I’m saving myself by eating rocks and plants / I pray for the incel.” The curious album covers; the uneasy stage presence and between-song non-sequiturs; the weird costumes; the videos filled with her pulling faces and engaging in awkward choreography; the preponderance of mannered vocal tics and funny accents when she sings, noticeable on Train on the Island’s Worms (vaguely Gallic vowel-stretching) and closer Coats (strangulated little girl voice); the halting, elliptical interviews: for fans, this is evidence of true originality in a cookie-cutter era.

Debate continues to rage over whether a strange carcass found in 1937 was a new species or a basking shark. Either way, the case reveals how little is known about what lies beneath the waves Its head resembled a dog’s, its downturned nose a camel’s, and at the end of its reptilian body was the tail of horse. Witnesses say it was covered in a thin white film. When the remains of a strange creature were pulled from the stomach of a sperm whale, most of those present agreed: it was a sea monster – or at least something unknown living in the depths off Canada’s west coast. Crews at the whaling station in the archipelago of Haida Gwaii assembled a platform of wooden boxes and laid out the 3-metre (10ft) carcass, using a white sheet to display the curiosity that had baffled veteran whalers.

What’s so life-affirming about collecting and trading miniature animals, keyrings, stickers and pins? We visit one of the 1,500 trinket exchanges to find out I’m standing, holding a thumbnail-sized glass owl, in front of a pink box filled with a boggling kaleidoscope of colours, shapes and textures. There’s a plush elephant wearing a green and pink sombrero; a rubber oval that is part doughnut with sprinkles, part frog; a bubble tea keyring; stickers and pins; a sparkly tangle of bracelets and much more. My mission? To swap my owl to experience first-hand the buzz of trading at a trinket exchange. Boxes filled with tchotchkes that visitors exchange for their own trinkets are popping up everywhere. Emerging in the US last autumn ( Philadelphia had one of the first using a ready-made electrical junction box, a popular format), they’re a new iteration of a phenomenon that started with Little Free Libraries and diversified during the pandemic into myriad neighbourhood installations.

Justin Sullivan The traditional packaged foods sector has struggled in recent years, facing a wave of immense change and supply chain disruption. Soaring inflation has led to a surge in the cost of raw ingredients and a more price-conscious consumer, while private label brands have taken a prominent place in store aisles, with an increased focus on fresh goods and healthier options. It's made it hard for companies like Kraft Heinz ( KHC ) to navigate the shifting landscape, with the stock losing nearly half its value over the past five years. Kraft Heinz: No Growth, Consumer Headwinds, And Depleting Margins Too lean: The problems at the company started even earlier, when private equity firm 3G Capital merged Kraft and Heinz in 2015. Known for its "zero-based budgeting" approach, 3G slashed costs and expenses in an attempt to please Wall Street and boost the combined entity's bottom line, but it ended up starving brands of marketing and the R&D they needed to innovate. Massive write-downs ensued as sales and goodwill in North America eroded, while the pandemic and subsequent shrinkflation continued to harm the business. Looking for a revival, Kraft Heinz ( KHC ) announced it would split into two standalone companies by mid-2026, but that decision has since been halted by CEO Steve Cahillane, who is only five months into the top job. Why? Cahillane had success in his prior position at fellow pantry giant Kellogg, where he separated its high-growth snack business (Kellanova) from its slow-growth cereal division (WK Kellogg). It didn't take long for Kellanova to be sold to American confectionery titan Mars for $36B, while WK Kellogg was scooped up by Italian chocolatier Ferrero for about $3B. However, Cahillane is taking a different tack at Kraft Heinz ( KHC ), arguing that the company must first fix the growth and market share problem of its underlying brands before justifying the cost and complexity of structural changes. To boost the endeavor, he even launched a $600...

jetcityimage Planet Fitness ( PLNT ) fell in early investor reaction to the company's first-quarter earnings report. Revenue climbed 21.9% to $337.2M to top the consensus estimate, and adjusted EBITDA rose to $139.9M. The company reported adjusted non-GAAP EPS of $0.74 vs. $0.63 consensus. The fitness chain also said system-wide same-club sales rose 3.5% and system-wide sales increased to $1.4B, boosted by continued club performance and membership gains. Planet Fitness ( PLNT ) ended the quarter with about 21.5M members, which it noted underscored its scale as it continued to expand its franchise system. The New Hampshire-based company warned that the year started more slowly than expected on net member growth because of internal and external headwinds during the peak sign-up period, prompting the company to sharpen its marketing focus. Planet Fitness ( PLNT ) cut parts of its 2026 outlook, lowering its expectation for same-club sales growth, revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA growth, and adjusted net income performance in comparison to prior guidance. "While we are resetting near-term expectations, we expect that these actions will help set the stage for enhanced top- and bottom-line results in 2027. The fitness industry continues to benefit from a number of secular tailwinds given the growing awareness of the vital role movement plays in health and well-being. Long-term, our thesis remains intact, and as the leader in the high-value, low-price segment, Planet Fitness is well positioned to capitalize on our industry leadership," highlighted CEO Colleen Keating. Shares of Planet Fitness ( PLNT ) were down 4.6% in premarket trading.

J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images Market overview The ICE BofA BB-B US Cash Pay High Yield Constrained Index (the benchmark) returned -0.38% during the first quarter. Lower-quality issues underperformed materially, with BB, B, and CCC rated issues returning -0.40%, -0.39%, and -2.97%, respectively. Overall, spreads ended 53 basis points (bps) wider. (A basis point is 1/100 of one percent.) The first quarter delivered a modest negative total return for U.S. high-yield bonds, representing the first quarterly loss for the asset class in more than three years. A combination of sharply higher interest rates, steady spread widening, lower equities and large retail-fund outflows drove bond prices lower over the quarter. After marking a new post-GFC (Global Financial Crisis) tight spread level in January (+270bps), the high-yield market steadily widened throughout the remainder of the quarter as geopolitical tensions increased, culminating in US/Israeli strikes on Iran and subsequent retaliation on energy infrastructure throughout the Middle East. Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of global crude oil and LNG (liquified natural gas) supplies flow, resulted in the largest global oil-supply disruption in history. Oil (West Texas Intermediate) prices reacted accordingly, surging 76% to $101.40/barrel. As expected, the Federal Open Market Committee paused its interest-rate easing cycle, citing stabilization in labor market trends, continued economic strength and the uncertain implications of conflict in the Middle East on the economy. The commodity price shock lifted inflation expectations and reversed market pricing regarding Fed easing during the year, driving 2-, 5-, and 10-year U.S. Treasury yields higher by 32 bps, 22 bps and 15 bps, respectively.

Intuit Credit Karma is opening its site to Americans who have no credit history, allowing them to take the first steps to building credit. “Credit invisible” individuals are now able to create Credit Karma accounts, the company said in a statement on Thursday. This will give them free access to Credit Karma’s tools, including two that use alternative data to help consumers build credit. “The economic reality for millions of Americans today is rooted in high costs, rising debt and financial instability,” said Courtney Alev , a consumer financial advocate at Credit Karma. A generation is entering adulthood with no credit history, creating “urgency right now to build something to serve those consumers who are starting from zero,” she said in an interview. Credit Karma’s Credit Spark service uses alternative spending data including rent, utilities and phone bills to establish a credit history. The company’s Credit Builder allows customers to build credit while making consistent payments to a locked savings account. It’s the only free credit-building tool that will report on-time payments to TransUnion . About 17 million Americans are considered credit invisible, according to Credit Karma. Having little to no credit history can prevent consumers from reaching first-time milestones like renting an apartment or buying a car. The issue is especially acute for Gen Z, as almost half of 18- to 24-year-olds say they feel at a financial disadvantage because they lack a credit history, the company said. “What we’re trying to do here first is really just make sure that people can get access to a good credit score,” Alev said.
