Polymarket, the world's largest prediction market, said Tuesday it had formed a partnership with Palantir Technologies to monitor its sports betting markets; a move that comes as the platform faces an intensifying wave of insider trading allegations. The tie-up will use Vergence AI, a joint venture between Palantir and TWG AI launched last year, to monitor trades in near real-time, screen out prohibited participants and generate automated compliance reports. Once dismissed as a niche crypto curiosity, prediction markets have burst into the mainstream in just a few years, striking partnerships with major news organisations as real-time forecasting tools, and positioning themselves as an alternative to both traditional polling and licensed sports gambling. Polymarket allows users to buy and sell shares tied to the probability of real-world events, from election outcomes to military strikes. But the growth and visibility have brought growing pressure on Polymarket and its archrival Kalshi over suspected abuse of privileged information. Several accounts reportedly made around $1.2 million in profits on Polymarket after placing bets predicting US military action against Iran hours before the strikes began. Crypto-analytics firm Bubblemaps identified what it called "six suspected insiders" behind the wagers. In January, a separate trader reportedly earned over $400,000 after betting that Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro would be removed from power, shortly before reports emerged of an operation targeting him. US Senators Jeff Merkley and Amy Klobuchar have introduced the End Prediction Market Corruption Act, which would bar the president, vice president and members of Congress from trading event contracts on prediction platforms, and impose fines for violations. Sports markets have drawn separate scrutiny. According to the Wall Street Journal, an anonymous day-old Polymarket account had correctly predicted 17 out of around 20 bets about the Super Bowl halftime show, stron...

(RTTNews) - European stocks may open flat to slightly higher on Friday as investors await the U.S. Labour Department's highly anticipated monthly jobs report later in the day for more clarity regarding the outlook for the U.S. economy and interest rates. Economists currently expect the report to show employment rose by 140,000 jobs in September after an increase of 142,000 jobs in August. The unemployment rate is expected to hold at 4.2 percent. CME Group's FedWatch Tool currently indicates a 65.4 percent chance the Fed will lower rates by a quarter point and a 34.6 percent chance of another half point rate cut in November. Focus will also shift to the earnings season, with some of the big U.S. banks expected to kick off the third-quarter earnings season at the end of next week. Asian stocks were broadly higher, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng rising nearly 2 percent on optimism about potential stimulus measures from China. Gains elsewhere remained muted due to worsening tensions in the Middle East. Israel on Thursday said it hit Hezbollah's intelligence headquarters in the Lebanese capital Beirut amid growing fears of an all-out war in the region. U.S. President Joe Biden said the U.S. was discussing whether to support potential Israeli strikes against Iranian oil facilities. The dollar hovered near a six-week high and headed for its biggest weekly gain since April, driven by safe-haven demand. Gold edged higher while oil prices were little changed after rallying about 5 percent in the overnight U.S. trading session. Both Brent and WTI crude contracts remain on track for weekly gains of around 8 percent as traders priced in the likelihood of supply disruptions in the Middle East, which accounts for about a third of global supply. U.S. stocks finished slightly lower overnight as the payrolls report loomed and concerns mounted over a widening regional conflict in the Middle East. In economic news, weekly jobless claims saw a modest increase last week while U.S. service se...

Earnings Call Insights: The Beachbody Company, Inc. (BODI) Q4 2025 Management View Mark Goldston, Executive Chairman, highlighted that 2025 was a “transitional year for BODi” following the shift from the multilevel marketing (MLM) business model to a five-pronged omnichannel model. He stated, “As a result of the dramatic shift in our business model, year-over-year comparisons are not really relevant from a revenue perspective, because we're no longer utilizing the tens of thousands of former MLM sellers.” Goldston detailed, “We achieved positive net income in Q3 2025. And today, we're reporting that we achieved positive net income in Q4 of 2025, and we've achieved positive adjusted net income for the full year 2025. We also achieved positive operating income in both Q4 and for the full year of 2025.” He emphasized the upcoming retail entry: “We're going to enter the retail market of grocery, drug stores, mass merchants and club stores for the first time ever in Q2 of this year with our new P90X line of nutritional supplements, a new 7-serve $34.99 form factor of our Shakeology brand... Shakeology... has never been sold at retail.” Carl Daikeler, Co-Founder and CEO, indicated, “Our supplement strategy represents a significant business model shift... We'll soon offer our highly effective supplements under the P90X and Shakeology brands at $15 to $35 price points with healthy margins.” Brad Ramberg, Interim Chief Financial Officer, reported, “For the quarter, we exceeded our guidance for net income and adjusted EBITDA while producing revenues that were above the midpoint of guidance.” Outlook Ramberg guided, “We expect first quarter revenues to be in the range of $49 million to $54 million, net income to be in the range of negative $2 million to positive $1 million, and adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $4 million to $7 million.” Management highlighted a notable shift: “We currently expect a notable shift by the end of '26 to a much larger percentage of our busines...

fatido JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) has marked down the value of certain loans held by private-credit groups and is tightening its lending to the sector, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday. The move limits how much the U.S. bank lends to private credit groups against those loans into the future, according to the report, which cited people familiar with the matter. The devalued loans are to software companies, the report said, a sector that’s been in the spotlight in recent weeks. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon told investors at the bank’s leveraged finance conference last week that it’s being more prudent in lending against software assets, the report said. One person familiar said the move was made preemptively to reduce the amount of credit available to the funds. Private credit executives said they hadn’t seen other banks take a similar view, the FT reported. A wave of worry about climbing defaults on loans to software companies is setting up firms in the private credit market for a shakeout, Apollo Global Management ( APO ) CEO Marc Rowan said recently. BlackRock ( BLK ) has meanwhile curbed withdrawals from its private credit fund after a surge in redemption requests, becoming the latest to be highlighted in the broader private credit issue. In February, Blue Owl Capital ( OWL ) permanently restricted withdrawals from a $1.6B private credit vehicle and sold $1.4B in loans to pension funds and its own insurance company.

There are no tributes to the conquering heroes at Bodo airport, no banners proclaiming their success hang in the streets outside. But visitors venturing this far north shouldn’t let Scandinavian understatement detract from Bodo Glimt’s achievements, and the impact on its hometown. The football team from the Norwegian Arctic fishing port has beaten giants Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City already in the Champions League this season. On Wednesday evening, it will host Sporting Lisbon, the club that produced global star Cristiano Ronaldo, at its 8,200-capacity stadium more than 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) north of the Portuguese capital. The match in the last 16 of Europe’s elite competition is more than another lucrative chapter in Bodo’s David-against-Goliath tale. It’s a chance to showcase a transformation underpinned by a fighter pilot turned mental-health coach who says that winning isn’t the point. It goes back to 2019 when the club decided it needed a shift in culture , according to Orjan Berg, 57, a former Glimt and Norwegian national team player whose son, Patrick, is one of Bodo’s current stars. Key was the appointment of Bjorn Mannsverk, who adapted lessons from his time in Norway’s air force to the club’s team psychology. Under Mannsverk’s direction, the emphasis was put on team performance and not results — so much so that even references to “winning” were banned, and rigorously policed. In came yoga, mindfulness and breathing techniques. Berg joked that the club, its players and staff have all been “brainwashed.” “Until then we were a decent club — we were talking about winning and the will to win,” he said in an interview at the Aspmyra Stadium in Bodo last week. The shift to focus on harmony and overall well-being “turned the world upside down,” he said. Football history has other examples of less storied clubs progressing to this stage in the Champions League. Last year, French team Lille made it, as did RB Leipzig the year before. Bo...

Finding and identifying unstoppable stocks is a smart investment strategy. These are the stocks that are positioned to deliver incredible returns over the long run because they are participating in a huge market trend. There is no bigger investment opportunity than AI right now, and I think the best ways to invest in it in March would be to buy Nvidia (NVDA +1.13%), Microsoft (MSFT 0.95%), and Broadcom (AVGO 0.98%). Microsoft Microsoft's stock has been on a downward trend over the past few months, but that momentum could turn around in March. There's really nothing wrong with Microsoft's business. Although some may take issue with how much money it is spending on its data centers, it's still less than other hyperscalers are laying out. Furthermore, it is using a lot of its cloud computing capacity to host its clients' models. That adds to Microsoft's top line. The tech giant posted solid results for its fiscal 2026 Q2, which ended Dec. 31, as revenue rose 17% year over year. Wall Street analysts' consensus expectation is that Microsoft will finish out the year strong, with 16% growth in Q3 and 15% growth in Q4. Despite this, Microsoft is trading at a price-to-earnings ratio that it has rarely been lower than since 2020. When Microsoft was last this cheap in late 2022, everyone assumed the U.S. economy was heading into a recession, and stocks sold off as a result. That's not the case right now, yet the stock can be purchased at a similar valuation. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me, which is why now looks like a great time to scoop up Microsoft shares. Nvidia Nvidia has been a leading supplier of the AI buildout since it began in 2023, yet right now, it is trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio that's close tp the cheapest it has traded at during that run. At 22 times forward earnings, Nvidia stock actually looks cheap. It's still growing its top line rapidly (management expects 77% growth in Q1), yet the stock trades at a lower level than many of its big ...
