A group of banks led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc . is bracing for losses on a debt deal backing chemical maker Arclin Inc. ’s acquisition of DuPont de Nemours Inc. ’s Aramids business after investors balked amid concerns about the industry’s volatility. Arclin’s $1.1 billion leveraged loan sold at just 92 cents on the dollar — a steep discount that forced the group of banks to absorb losses to cover the higher borrowing costs they had promised the company, according to people familiar with the matter. Banks typically have some flexibility on the discount they can offer before eating into fees they get from the deal. But at 92 cents, this exceeded that level, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information. The final tally of the losses wasn’t immediately clear, they said. The loan is part of a broader financing package that went through a few iterations as the banks sought to assuage investor concerns about demand swings in the specialty chemicals sector. The deal now includes a $645 million bank-held term loan A which will also help fund the Aramids acquisition, the people said. The lenders plan to sell that piece to investors at a later date when markets are less volatile, according to the people. The bank group additionally offered a privately-placed bond at a 9.75% coupon and roughly 94 cents on the dollar, equal to a yield of approximately 11%, the people said. A representative for Goldman Sachs declined to comment. A representative for TJC, the private equity firm that owns Arclin, didn’t have a comment. Goldman Sachs kicked off the loan sale in early February to finance the $1.8 billion purchase of DuPont’s Aramids operations, which make fibers used for protective gear like body armor. Arclin’s struggles follow a sharp drop in secondary loan prices, which have been battered by a dip in software companies’ debt and rising unease from conflict in the Middle East. Other deals have also struggled in the leveraged loan market. Units of m...

koto_feja/iStock via Getty Images Investment Overview Xenon Pharmaceuticals Inc. ( XENE ) completed its Initial Public Offering in November 2014, issuing 4m shares priced at $9 per share.

In trading on Monday, shares of the Vanguard Small-Cap ETF (Symbol: VB) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $258.81 per share.

Russian government hackers are targeting Signal and WhatsApp users, particularly government and military officials, as well as journalists all over the world, Dutch intelligence said on Monday. The Netherlands’ Defence Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD) and the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) published details about a “large-scale global” hacking campaign against Signal and WhatsApp users. The two agencies accused “Russian state actors” of using phishing and social engineering techniques — rather than malware — to take over accounts on the two messaging apps. In the case of Signal, the hackers are masquerading as the app’s support team and messaging targets directly with warnings of suspicious activity, “a possible data leak,” or of attempts to access the target’s private data. If the target falls for it, the hackers ask for a verification code sent via SMS — the hackers themselves request this code from Signal — as well as the targets’ PIN code. Contact Us Do you have more information about this hacking campaign, or other campaigns targeting Signal and WhatsApp? From a non-work device, you can contact Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai securely on Signal at +1 917 257 1382, or via Telegram and Keybase @lorenzofb, or Do you have more information about this hacking campaign, or other campaigns targeting Signal and WhatsApp? From a non-work device, you can contact Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai securely on Signal at +1 917 257 1382, or via Telegram and Keybase @lorenzofb, or email . The hackers then use the verification and PIN codes to register a new device with a new phone number, impersonate the target, and potentially access their contacts, according to the report. Also, the target gets locked out of their account, but can re-register their number. “Because Signal stores the chat history locally on the phone, a victim can regain access to that history after re‑registering.

Most of the 2026 gains in the S&P 500 energy sector came before the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. Meanwhile, stock prices are pulling back in one corner of the oil and natural-gas industry.

Here’s How YCG’s Strategy of Buying Cyclically Unprofitable Stock, Apple (AAPL), Has Paid Off Insider Monkey

Douglas Rissing Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) has retaliated against the U.S. Department of War with a pair of civil suits after the department dropped its contract with the AI startup and labeled it a "supply-chain risk" due to ideological differences. The startup filed one suit in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California and another in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, according to The New York Times . It accuses the Pentagon of inappropriately applying the label over philosophical differences. It is the only time the label has been given to a U.S. business. "This is a necessary step to protect our business, our customers, and our partners," Anthropic said in a statement, according to the report . "We will continue to pursue every path toward resolution, including dialogue with the government." Anthropic, which developed the Claude chatbot, has provided AI systems for classified Pentagon work since last year. But the company balked when the Department of War sought unrestricted access to its technology for lawful military use ahead of the recent strike on Iran. Those limits include barring mass surveillance of Americans and refusing to allow its AI to operate fully autonomous weapons without human oversight. In late February, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's AI tools, canceling more than $200M in contracts. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described the company as a national security "supply chain risk." OpenAI ( OPENAI ) was swift to swoop in and sign a contract with the Pentagon to begin deploying its AI models within a classified government network. However, even Anthropic rival OpenAI said it did not consider the company a "supply chain risk." In the new lawsuits, Anthropic, which is backed by Amazon ( AMZN ), contends the status is unlawful and was politically motivated to punish the company. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei argued against the designation after receiving a letter from the Department of War o...

NoDerog/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Hormel Foods Corporation ( HRL ) share price has fallen from its peak in April 2022, along with its valuation. Simultaneously, the dividend yield had soared to over 5% before recently pulling back. The combination makes Hormel interesting. Granted, operational challenges and inflation have taken their toll, but leadership changes, portfolio reshaping, and business simplification are the right moves. Moreover, the balance sheet is sound, the risk of a dividend cut is low, and the firm has market leadership in multiple protein product categories. The company is also a Dividend King with a 60-year streak of increases. The share price decline in late 2025 and the recent earnings revision have made this stock undervalued. Hence, I view Hormel as a strong buy. Overview of Hormel Hormel Foods Corporation was founded in 1891 and is headquartered in Austin, MN. Today, the company is a market leader in branded and commodity protein sales, particularly pork, turkey, and nuts. It also sells various other food products outside of these categories. The firm operates globally in three segments: Retail (62% of revenue), Foodservice (32% of revenue), and International (6% of revenue). Its top eight brands are Jennie-O, Hormel Chilli, Black Label Bacon, Hormel Pepperoni, Planters, Spam, Applegate, and Skippy. It is the market leader in over 40 product categories. Total revenue was over $12,106 million in the fiscal year 2025 and $12,145 million in the last twelve months (“LTM”). The company’s fiscal year ends on the last Friday in October. Hormel Investor Relations Latest Results Hormel reported mixed first-quarter fiscal year 2026 results on February 26 th , 2026, beating bottom-line analyst estimates by $0.02 per share, but missing revenue estimates by $30 million. Still, revenue increased 1.3% to $3,027 million from $2,989 million year-over-year. Diluted adjusted earnings per share (“EPS") decreased $0.34 from $0.35 in the prior year on c...

Investors have a tricky balancing act on their hands during the Iran war, Jim Cramer said Monday, recognizing both the real risks that surging oil prices pose to stocks and the difficulties of timing the market. After a weekend of escalation in the Middle East, Jim said the current conditions in the oil market — including the Strait of Hormuz shipping lane at an effective standstill and a steady attack on the energy infrastructure — are very troublesome for the economy and, by extension, the stock market. Global oil benchmark Brent crude traded around $100 per barrel in late Monday morning trading, up nearly 7%. Reports that the Group of Seven nations is considering dipping into its strategic crude reserves moved Brent off its overnight high above $119. West Texas Intermediate crude, the American standard, also topped $119 overnight, before trimming gains on the G7 chatter and dipping below $97. Jim, however, said he wasn't ready to rule out a worsening of conditions that sends oil back to those levels and potentially even higher into the realm of $150 a barrel. In mid-February, Brent was in the upper $60s. Prices at the pump in the U.S. have already moved up considerably. The average price of U.S. gasoline reached $3.48 a gallon on Monday, up 16% from a week ago, according to AAA. Anything that dampens expectations of future corporate profits is problematic for the stock market. With the surge in oil, businesses are not only confronting higher input costs that could eat into their margins unless they raise prices. But consumers will also have less money to spend elsewhere in the economy if more of their budgets go toward filling up their tanks. "This is going to cut into consumer spend. It always does," Jim said on CNBC. That's why big moves higher in oil prices are typically accompanied by significant drawdowns in the stock market, he explained. The most recent example is in 2022, when Russia's invasion of Ukraine in late February sent oil prices into triple-digit...

Donald Trump threatened not to sign any bills until Congress approves the Save America Act, a curtailment of voting access. The president, fixated on unsubstantiated claims that noncitizens are stealing US elections ahead of midterm elections that are expected to be bruising for Republicans, said on Truth Social Sunday that the Save America Act “must be done immediately” and “supersedes everything else”. “MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD,” he wrote. He laid out a list of what he wanted in the bill, much of which is not currently in the proposal: showing voter ID and proof of citizenship, banning mail ballots except for a few instances, and, unrelated to voting, a ban on transgender people participating in women’s sports and gender-affirming surgeries for minors. The White House previously confirmed that Trump was pushing for measures to be added to the voting bill on trans issues. The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said last week that Trump “added on some priorities” for the bill, including a ban on “transgender transition surgeries for minors”. “We are not gonna tolerate the mutilation of young children in this country. No men in women’s sports,” she said. “The president putting all of these priorities together speaks to how common sense they are.” The Save America Act is a rebranded name for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or the Save Act, a bill that has been circulating through Congress in some version for more than two years. The US House passed the bill earlier this year, but it faces steep odds in the Senate, where it would need 60 votes to move forward because of the filibuster rule. Republican senators will face heavy lobbying to lift the filibuster to advance the act. Already, Ken Paxton, a Republican contender for US Senate in Texas who is facing a heated runoff with John Cornyn, said he would consider dropping...

Hong Kong has been urged to extend its stock trading hours to maintain its status as an international financial hub, as competitors move towards near 24-hour operations to capture global liquidity. Speaking at the “ Redefining Hong Kong 2026 Budget Edition ” forum organised by the South China Morning Post on Monday, Kenny Shui Chi-wai, vice-president of think tank Our Hong Kong Foundation, said the city should consider lengthening the stock market’s trading hours, which rivals were already doing. “In the past, Hong Kong, London and New York complemented each other to cover the global call. But nowadays, the London Stock Exchange and also the New York Stock Exchange are exploring 24-hour trading,” he said. Advertisement “For the Hong Kong stock exchange, I think we also need to think about whether we need to extend our trading hours to maintain our global competitiveness and also increase our transactions.” The stock market, operated by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX), currently trades for 5½ hours on weekdays, from 9.30am to 4pm, with a one-hour lunch break. That compares with four hours of trading in Shanghai and Shenzhen, five hours in Tokyo, 6½ hours in Toronto, 8½ hours in London and 14 hours in Frankfurt. Advertisement Shui also suggested lowering the 500,000 yuan (US$72,500) entry requirement for mainland Chinese investors under the cross-border Stock Connect scheme to attract more capital.

人工智能初创公司Anthropic周一针对特朗普政府提起诉讼，此前该公司被列入黑名单并被标记为对美国国家安全构成威胁。 该公司在一份申诉中称，这些行为“史无前例且不合法”，并且“正在对Anthropic造成不可挽回的损害”。该诉讼已提交至美国加州北区地方法院。 诉状称：“Anthropic与联邦政府的合同已被取消。与私营方的现有及未来合同也面临不确定性，短期内危及数亿美元的收入。”“在这些直接经济损失之上，Anthropic的声誉和核心的第一修正案自由正受到攻击。如果没有司法救济，这些损害将在未来数周和数月内进一步加剧。” 上周四，Anthropic证实其已被正式认定为存在供应链风险，这一非常举措以往通常针对外国对手。这将要求国防供应商和承包商证明他们在与五角大楼的合作中未使用Anthropic的模型。 特朗普总统上个月还在社交媒体上发帖，指示联邦机构“立即停止”所有对Anthropic技术的使用。 特朗普写道：“我们国家的命运将由我们决定——而不是由一些失控的、激进左翼的人工智能公司，以及那些对现实世界一无所知的人来决定。” Anthropic于去年7月与国防部签署了一份价值2亿美元的合同，成为首家将其技术部署在该机构机密网络上的人工智能实验室。该公司一直在重新谈判合同的后续条款，但由于双方在模型使用方式上存在分歧，谈判陷入僵局。 国防部希望Anthropic授予该机构为所有合法目的不受限制地访问其人工智能模型的权限，而Anthropic则希望确保其模型不会用于完全自主的武器或国内大规模监控。 “寻求司法审查并未改变我们长期以来利用人工智能保护国家安全的承诺，但这是保护我们业务、客户和合作伙伴的必要步骤，”Anthropic的一位发言人周一告诉媒体。“我们将继续寻求所有可能的解决途径，包括与政府进行对话。” 责任编辑：张俊 SF065
