The US will not give India the same kind of economic advantages it gave China, which allowed that country to emerge as a major competitor, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said on Thursday, signalling Washington’s cautiousness in negotiations over a trade deal. While the US wants to work with India to unlock its “limitless potential,” India should understand that “we are not going to make the same mistakes with India that we made with China 20 years ago”, Landau said at the Raisina Dialogue, India’s flagship conference on geopolitics and geoeconomics. Landau also offered to work with India to address long- and short-term issues in meeting its energy challenges as supply disruptions from the Middle East crisis threaten fuel stockpiles. Advertisement India has avoided taking sides in the widening conflict, as it finalises a trade deal under negotiation since US President Donald Trump took office. Washington last month cut tariffs on Indian goods to 18 per cent from 50 per cent after several rounds of talks.

Earnings Call Insights: NACCO Industries (NC) Q4 2025 Management View President and CEO John Butler began by addressing a tragic incident at a Florida operation, emphasizing that "the safety and well-being of our employees has always been a cornerstone of our company's values," and detailed steps to reinforce safety expectations across the organization. Butler reported a 95% rise in fourth quarter operating profit over the prior year and nearly 12% sequential growth. He highlighted that "all 3 of our reportable segments reported improved year-over-year results led by a significant increase in the Utility Coal Mining segment." The Utility Coal Mining segment returned to gross profit after several quarters of losses, driven by higher production efficiency and lower cost per ton sold at Mississippi Lignite Mining Company. Butler noted, "Production also outpaced deliveries in the period, leading to certain production costs to be capitalized into inventory." Butler revealed that the company completed termination of its pension plan, settling all future obligations and recognizing an after-tax termination charge of $6 million, contributing to a reported net loss of $3.8 million for the quarter. Butler discussed ongoing growth in the Contract Mining segment and noted the ramp-up of a multiyear dragline services contract for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Florida, as well as anticipated commencement of operations at a new limestone quarry in Arizona in 2026. Minerals and Royalties saw year-over-year growth, with royalties from legacy natural gas assets benefiting from higher prices and production. Butler stated, "The Catapult team continues to actively pursue additional investment opportunities to support future growth in earnings." Senior VP & Controller Elizabeth Loveman reported, "In the 2025 fourth quarter, we generated consolidated gross profit of $12 million, an increase of 42% year-over-year, while our fourth quarter revenues of $66.8 million increased 5%."

Earnings Call Insights: Aquestive Therapeutics (AQST) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Daniel Barber stated, "This is a great moment in Aquestive's evolution, and I'm filled with optimism for our future. I believe our path has never been clearer. I believe our risk profile has never been lower. And I believe our transparency allows all of you to see this as well." Barber outlined a clear regulatory path for Anaphylm, highlighting the FDA's instructions for NDA resubmission, the submission of a Type A meeting request, and preparations for required human factor and PK studies. He confirmed, "We are reiterating today our commitment to filing our resubmission in the third quarter of this year." Barber announced the expansion of the medical affairs team, stating, "We are more than doubling the size of our medical affairs organization. This will allow us to attend more conferences, educate more physicians on our data and provide the community with more scientific publications in the coming months." The company also added Dr. Matt Greenhawt as Chief Medical Officer and Dr. Matthew Davis as Chief Development Officer. On commercialization, Barber said, "We will launch with 50% more sales reps upon approval compared to our previous guidance. This means we expect to have 75 reps at launch versus the previous guidance of 50." CFO Ernie Toth stated, "We announced an extension until June 30, 2027, of our agreement with RTW. This extension secures the availability of the revenue interest financing to support the commercial launch of Anaphylm, if approved by the FDA. RTW has also agreed to an additional strategic investment of $5 million in Aquestive, showing continued confidence in the company." Outlook The company guided for total revenue of $46 million to $50 million and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss of $30 million to $35 million for 2026. Aquestive expects to end 2026 with approximately $70 million, excluding any additional proceeds from RTW or out-licensing transactions. Toth noted...

Thursday is World Book Day in the UK and Ireland, with many primary schools encouraging children to take part. However, schools in England are moving away from dressing up for the event due to concerns that the activity could detract from the promotion of reading for pleasure, experts say. Here, teachers and parents tell us their views on World Book Day. ‘It should be fun, but book focused’ Schools really need to do a better job of World Book Day. They either seem to just say dress up and get a herd of footballers and Disney princesses, or make it really academic, like getting the pupils to dress up as an adjective. Neither is right; it should be fun, but book focused. Get them writing stories about their favourite characters – with no marking, just positive praise for creativity. Get them to make their own costumes at school. Read aloud. Do mad libs. Do a book treasure hunt on the field. It’s actually not that hard. Laura, parent, Warwickshire ‘Another point of stress for parents’ While I support the intention behind World Book Day, to encourage reading for pleasure, in practice it has become yet another point of stress for parents, regardless of income. Dressing up has become the main, competitive element of the day. Looking at the costumes, few relate to the child’s favourite character and instead simply reflect whatever happened to be available in Tesco at the late-night emergency dash. One of the bases for school uniform – the removal of stigma for those not able or willing to spend on the latest fashion – seems to be undermined by frequent non-uniform days. During my teaching days up until 2015, I noted an increased absence rate among children receiving free school meals on non-uniform days. Talking to the parents, it was obvious that part of this was just the cost implication of trying to find costumes and having to stitch them together. Paul, parent and former teacher, West Midlands ‘A bit of fun’ I think it’s a bit of fun. My parents didn’t have a lot of mo...

RerF/iStock via Getty Images Market Overview Global equities advanced in the fourth quarter, marking a third consecutive quarterly gain and closing 2025 on a positive note despite intermittent volatility. Markets were driven higher by robust AI infrastructure spending, strong corporate earnings, and a liquidity boost from the US Federal Reserve (Fed). US inflation remained contained, enabling decisive policy action in response to a softening labor market. The Fed cut interest rates twice during the quarter, ended quantitative tightening, and launched new Reserve Management Purchases (RMP) to bolster liquidity. Amid a relatively positive economic backdrop, the European Central Bank (ECB) left interest rates unchanged, while easing UK inflation led the Bank of England (BOE) to lower rates in December. In Japan, Sanae Takaichi was elected prime minister as the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) formed a minority coalition with the Japan Innovation Party. Markets rallied on Prime Minister Takaichi's economic security agenda, boosting nuclear, defense, and tech stocks, while Japanese government bond yields climbed on expectations of a more expansionary fiscal agenda to bolster economic growth. The Bank of Japan (BOJ) raised its policy rate by 25 basis points 1 (BPs) to 0.75%, signaling further hikes in 2026 to support the currency as the economy transitions through the impacts of tariffs. Positive trade developments supported markets and aided the global economy, with the US statutory tariff rate declining to 15.7% by year end from a daunting 30% peak in April, after US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to a series of measures to deescalate the trade war. Gold surged to record highs above US$4,000/oz, while bitcoin slid more than 25% from its peak. Performance Summary The Multi-Asset Income Fund (I share) generated positive returns and outperformed the blended index. Fixed-income exposure generated positive absolute returns and contributed to rel...

Oracle (ORCL) Stock Rises as AI Spending Forces Thousands of Job Cuts TipRanks

Earth's human population is aging. According to recent research from the World Health Organization, from 2015 to 2050, the proportion of people 60 or older will almost double, from 12% of the total to 22%. That's a big leap over a relatively short period, and the trend offers a significant opportunity for medical device makers, especially Boston Scientific (BSX 1.28%). Here are three reasons why its stock can quintuple -- at least -- on the back of this shift. 1. A legacy of treating the elderly Boston Scientific's focus on afflictions that affect older patients is nothing new. Its Watchman line, which debuted in 2015, consists of small balloon-expandable heart inserts that reduce stroke risk in those with a type of atrial fibrillation (a disorder that skews toward the elderly). The company is also a leader in neuromodulation, which uses mild electrical signals transmitted through the body's nervous system to alleviate pain. Chronic pain is relatively common in people with, for example, degenerative disorders, again a health problem that disproportionately affects those of advanced age. Parkinson's disease is another disorder notorious for claiming victims in the older demographic and presents in tremors and difficulties with mobility. Boston Scientific's Vercise Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) systems first earned U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 2017 to help alleviate those issues. 2. A recent push into other niches Building on this solid foundation of legacy products, Boston Scientific is moving sideways into other therapeutic areas crowded with older patients. One of the most common medical emergencies for such people is stroke, and one of the most prevalent types of stroke is ischemic (in which a blood clot impedes blood flow to the brain). In January, the company agreed to pay around $14.5 billion in cash and stock to acquire Penumbra. This specialized company produces cutting-edge devices for thrombectomy, the blanket term for methods used to ...

jewhyte/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Marriott Vacations Worldwide ( VAC ) earned an upgrade to Outperform at Mizuho as the company’s new CEO, Matthew Avril, has brought the sales force disruption under control by re-hiring ~70% of personnel and re-aligning compensation initiatives. “Recall, this was the main concern when we downgraded VAC in 2025, that we believed the company lacked direction in when/how the sales force issue plaguing topline would be resolved,” Mizuho’s Ben Chaiken said in a note to clients. Moreover, Chaiken believes that leveraging events and experiences to drive owner upgrades—an area the company fell short of historically—could be “a major catalyst.” “With shares at 6.9x and discounted to peers, we believe the risk/reward is compelling,” Chaiken adds. Marriott Vacation ( VAC ) shares are up more than 5% Thursday and in the green for a fourth consecutive day.

Intel’s board of directors is getting a new independent chair effective May 13, after the company’s Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, the company announced earlier this week. Dr. Craig H. Barratt, a semiconductor engineer by training — not to be confused with former CEO Craig R. Barrett — will assume the role, succeeding finance veteran Frank D. Yeary, who has served on the board since 2009, and as chair since 2023. Intel made the announcement on March 3, clarifying that Yeary will not stand for reelection in May. It's the most consequential governance change at Intel since the board’s forced exit of former CEO Pat Gelsinger in late 2024. It also consolidates authority around Barratt, who will lead the board’s focus on scaling U.S. R&D and manufacturing, and CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who has publicly supported Intel Foundry since taking the role. Who is Craig H. Barratt? Barratt, 63, holds bachelor's degrees in pure mathematics, physics, and electrical engineering from the University of Sydney, as well as a master's and doctorate in electrical engineering from Stanford. He joined Atheros Communications in 2002 as vice president of technology, was appointed president and CEO in 2003, and led the company for eight years. Atheros was the dominant supplier of Wi-Fi chipsets during the early 802.11 boom, shipping silicon into PCs, consumer routers, smartphones, and networking gear. Under Barratt, the company went public in 2004 and was acquired by Qualcomm in 2011 for roughly $3.1 billion. He then served as president of Qualcomm Atheros through 2013, overseeing the combined non-cellular connectivity and networking silicon business. After leaving Qualcomm, Barratt ran Google Access and Energy as senior vice president from 2012 to 2016, overseeing Google Fiber and related internet infrastructure projects. He then took over as CEO of Barefoot Networks, a startup building programmable Ethernet switching ASICs, from 2017 until Intel acquired the company in 2019. Post-acquisition, he became...

March 5 (Reuters) - Enterprise software company Oracle is planning thousands of job cuts as it faces a cash crunch ‌from a massive AI data center expansion effort, Bloomberg ‌News reported on Thursday. Long a smaller contender in the cloud market, over the ​past year Oracle has emerged as a major player in the business of renting computing power thanks, in part, to its $300 billion deal with OpenAI. But investors have grown worried about how it would ‌fund the data center ⁠expansion needed to serve OpenAI and other customers, including Elon Musk's xAI and Meta. The software company, chaired ⁠by billionaire Larry Ellison, in February outlined plans to raise $45 billion to $50 billion this year in order to expand its cloud infrastructure, fueling ​investor ​concerns about its rising debt load. The ​layoffs will impact divisions ‌across Oracle and may be implemented as soon as this month, the Bloomberg report said, citing people familiar with the matter. Some cuts will be aimed at job categories that the company expects will shrink due to AI. The planned reductions are expected to ‌be wider-reaching than Oracle's typical rolling job ​cuts, according to Bloomberg. This week, Oracle ​announced internally that it ​would be reviewing many of the open job ‌listings in its cloud division, effectively ​slowing down or ​freezing the hiring process, the report added. Oracle declined to comment when contacted by Reuters. The company had about 162,000 full-time employees ​as of May ‌31, 2025, according to its annual filing with the ​U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

AI video generation startup Luma on Thursday launched Luma Agents, designed to handle end-to-end creative work across text, image, video, and audio. Luma Agents are powered by the startup’s Unified Intelligence family of models, with architecture trained on a single multimodal reasoning system. Luma Agents are being pitched as a new way of doing work for ad agencies, marketing teams, design studios, and enterprises. Luma says its agents are capable of planning and generating text, image, video and audio while coordinating with other AI models, including Luma’s Ray 3.14, Google’s Veo 3 and Nano Banana Pro, ByteDance’s Seedream, and ElevenLabs’s voice models. Luma’s agents are built on the startup’s Uni-1 model, the first of its Unified Intelligence family of AI models. It has been trained on audio, video, image, language, and spatial reasoning, according to Amit Jain, chief executive officer and co-founder of Luma. Jain told TechCrunch that the Uni-1 model can “think in language and imagine and render in pixels or images…we call it ‘intelligence in pixels.’” Other output capabilities like audio and video will come in subsequent model releases, he added. “Our customers aren’t buying the tool, they’re redoing how business is done,” Jain said. Image Credits:Luma AI Luma has already started rolling out its new agentic platform with existing customers including global ad agencies Publicis Groupe and Serviceplan, as well as for brands like Adidas, Mazda, and Saudi AI company Humain. Jain said the Luma Agents are a gamechanger because they are able to maintain persistent context across assets, collaborators, and creative iterations. They can also evaluate and refine outputs, improving their own results through an iterative self-critique, according to Jain.
