Inchcape LON: INCH reported what management described as a strong performance in 2025 despite “tariff-related disruption and economic uncertainty,” highlighting record profit before tax (PBT) in the Americas and Europe and Africa and an improved second half in Asia-Pacific (APAC). Group CEO Duncan Tait and Group CFO Adrian Lewis also laid out the company’s outlook for 2026, including a new share buyback program and expectations for earnings growth. Get Inchcape alerts: Sign Up 2025 performance: cash generation and shareholder returns Inchcape said it returned around GBP 340 million to shareholders through dividends and buybacks in 2025 and delivered 13% growth in both earnings per share (EPS) and dividends per share (DPS). The group generated GBP 315 million in free cash flow, which management said underscored its “cash generative and capital-light model.” Lewis said revenue was GBP 9.1 billion, with 1% organic revenue growth and operating margins of 6.2%. Adjusted PBT was GBP 443 million, up 3% in constant currency, supported in part by GBP 17 million of gains from divestments of non-core assets and offset by approximately GBP 19 million of translational currency headwinds. Excluding disposal gains, he said operating margins were 6%, in line with the company’s medium-term targets. Return on capital employed (ROCE) was 29%. Closing leverage was 0.4x, down from 0.6x at the half-year, and within the company’s “self-mandated headroom” of 1x. The company declared a final dividend per share of 22.8 pence, taking total dividends for the year to 32.3 pence, up 13% year over year. Strategy execution: contract wins, portfolio actions, and AI tools Tait said Inchcape continued to execute its Accelerate+ strategy, focused on scaling and optimizing regions and expanding the OEM partner portfolio and geographic footprint to enhance earnings resilience. The company reiterated its ambition to achieve 10% market share across its markets. In 2025, Inchcape was awarded 10 new distrib...

My Photo Buddy/iStock via Getty Images Edison International ( EIX ) won the dismissal of a lawsuit alleging the company defrauded shareholders before the January 2025 Los Angeles-area wildfires by assuring it had significantly reduced the risk of losses from such catastrophes, Reuters reported Monday. Shareholders accused the Southern California Edison ( EIX ) utility of being "structurally unable" to address extreme weather events and safely implement its Public Safety Power Shutoff program for wildfire mitigation before the Eaton Fire that devastated the area north of Los Angeles last year. The shareholders also said Edison ( EIX ) falsely promised that the program, combined with hardening power lines and trimming vegetation, could reduce wildfire risk by as much as 90%. However, a U.S. District Judge in Los Angeles dismissed the complaint, saying Edison's ( EIX ) statements about the power shutoff program were too vague for a reasonable investor to have relied on them, and shareholders failed to show that the company promised to reduce wildfire risk everywhere it served. The January 2025 wildfires killed 31 people and destroyed or damaged more than 16,000 structures, with much of the damage caused by the Eaton Fire in Altadena and the Palisades Fire in Pacific Palisades. The shutoff option in California allows utilities to cut power to transmission lines experiencing extreme weather capable of generating dangerous sparks.

You can start getting Social Security retirement benefits when you turn 62 years old, the earliest age when they're available. However, there are downsides to starting benefits at such a young age. Because this is well below your full retirement age, you'll see your benefits reduced by as much as 30%, compared to your standard benefit. Taking a 30% hit to one of your most important sources of retirement income may seem like something you should avoid at all costs. However, there are some situations where an early claim makes the most financial sense. Here's the single best reason to start your benefits at 62 instead of waiting. Starting your benefits early could preserve your savings There's one situation when claiming Social Security at 62 makes a lot of sense. You'll want to claim at this age if doing so enables you to preserve your savings. Many people want or need to retire at 62 or even before that. You might need to retire when you hit this age if you have family issues, like a need to care for an aging spouse or a desire to care for young grandchildren. Or you might have health issues or simply be tired of working and want to stop. If you no longer have paychecks coming in, you'd need money from somewhere. You'd likely have two primary choices: Social Security and savings. Unfortunately, if you try to rely on savings without any help from Social Security, this could be a problem if doing so causes your account balance to fall too quickly. If that's happening to you, an early Social Security claim is a far better choice than draining your savings account dry. Don't take money out too fast just to delay Social Security When it comes to making your savings last in retirement, the key is not to take too much money out too fast. If you do that, you may find yourself in a situation where you don't have enough invested to keep earning returns, and your money may run out quickly. Most experts recommend withdrawing no more than 4% of your account balance in your first...
Given their inability to win a knockout tie in normal time, there can be little doubt of the physical impediment that West Ham’s continued prolonged endeavours in this season’s FA Cup must make to their efforts of remaining in the Premier League.

Given their inability to win a knockout tie in normal time, there can be little doubt of the physical impediment that West Ham’s continued prolonged endeavours in this season’s FA Cup must make to their efforts of remaining in the Premier League. But, with an eminently winnable home quarter-final against Leeds United now upcoming, the chance of a rare trip to Wembley is the type of happy distraction any relegation-threatened side can embrace. For the third time in three FA Cup ties, the conventional 90 minutes were insufficient for Nuno Espírito Santo’s team to find a winner, with two goals apiece for Jarrod Bowen and Igor Thiago cancelling each other out. Unlike the previous two occasions, they could not even settle this one in extra time, requiring a penalty shootout to see off Brentford. After Dango Ouattara missed his embarrassingly weak Panenka, Konstantinos Mavropanos eventually stepped up and rifled home for a 5-3 spot-kick triumph. For rather different reasons, both sides could have been forgiven for focusing their efforts on their respective league endeavours, but a difference of approach appeared evident in their selected firepower for this Cup encounter. Despite pushing for a first European campaign in Brentford’s history, via their league placing, Keith Andrews fielded close to the strongest team at his disposal. By contrast, most of West Ham’s leading lights began the evening in the London Stadium dugout as Nuno understandably opted to prioritise top-flight survival over knockout jeopardy. He had taken a similar approach in the previous round against lowly Burton Albion, only to call his heavy artillery off the bench to squeak past the League One club in extra time. Crucially, he had his biggest gun on the pitch from the outset here. If West Ham do find themselves in the second tier next season, it is difficult to envisage Bowen remaining with them. Little of his abundant majesty was required in his first-half double, just a simple knack of being in the...
It was either former FBI Director Robert Mueller or former Cisco CEO who once said, "There are two types of companies: those that have been hacked, and those that don't know they've been hacked."

It was either former FBI Director Robert Mueller or former Cisco CEO who once said, "There are two types of companies: those that have been hacked, and those that don't know they've been hacked." That statement is doubly true in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), which has simultaneously lowered the barrier for prospective cybercriminals and allowed them to launch more attacks faster than ever before. It used to be that someone launching a phishing attack needed to learn the language spoken within the company they wanted to hack to compose a convincing email or message. Now, any AI program can compose a message that sounds like it came from a native speaker of any widely used language. And, as reported by the subject of this article, CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD +1.25%), AI threats have increased the number of cyberattacks by 89%. Fortunately, CrowdStrike is aware of all the cybersecurity problems caused by AI, and this software-as-a-service (SaaS) company offers solutions to protect the data and networks of its clients. A digital bird of prey The company's flagship product, called Falcon, combines 33 different security modules into one single agentic-AI driven platform. Formerly, companies and individuals needed to purchase numerous different pieces of security software for things like identity verification, cloud security, or antivirus use. But Falcon puts all of those into a single program that doesn't require any extra hardware for the customer, prevents important security data from being siloed, and eliminates friction from different applications and programs trying to communicate with one another. CrowdStrike's management is also quick to point out in its latest presentation that it's potentially far cheaper and easier for companies to only have to pay CrowdStrike for its cybersecurity apps and not to pay for and manage dozens of different subscriptions. Given the threats posed by AI, cybersecurity is an incredibly large and growing market. CrowdStrike ass...

In this article MMC Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Luojiashan tanker sits anchored in Muscat, as Iran vows to close the Strait of Hormuz, amid the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran, in Muscat, Oman, March 9, 2026. Benoit Tessier | Reuters Global insurers, brokers and shipping companies are concerned about an environmental catastrophe if an oil tanker sinks in the Persian Gulf. It's a massive risk in a region that stretches from Kuwait to Qatar — an area of glittering high-rise buildings, posh beachfront resorts and booming commercial centers. Its incredible wealth and shift toward tourism is a dramatic change from the late 1980s, when a tanker war between Iraq and Iran threatened the oil trade in the Persian Gulf. What the region doesn't have is the kind of sophisticated oil clean-up industry and technology that is readily available in the United States, according to a risk advisor who asked not to be named. That expensive pollution risk has not yet been addressed by the global insurance market, which doesn't have the data to calculate business disruption claims should a massive oil spill contaminate destination beaches. Pollution is offered under marine insurance, which also includes coverage for ships' hulls, machinery and cargo. Expensive coverage Hull, machinery and cargo coverage has remained available to shipping companies, even after missiles began flying. But it was expensive — 4-6 times more than the previous week, according to Marsh and Howden Group, two leading global insurance brokers. Still, sources tell CNBC that President Trump's commitment to insure tankers and get commerce moving helped reassure the market that the U.S. government would provide appropriate supports. But the Development Finance Corporation's rolling $20 billion reinsurance facility, for now, is only intended as a backstop for hull, machinery and cargo — with no mention of essential pollution coverage. The DFC told CNBC Monday more details would soon be available about ...
