Martin Johnson, England’s World-Cup winning skipper, believes there is no huge mystery to being a great captain. “If you haven’t got a good team it doesn’t matter how good a captain you are,” he said on the Rugby Legends podcast before the start of this year’s Six Nations.

Martin Johnson, England’s World-Cup winning skipper, believes there is no huge mystery to being a great captain. “If you haven’t got a good team it doesn’t matter how good a captain you are,” he said on the Rugby Legends podcast before the start of this year’s Six Nations. And if anyone is qualified to provide such a definitive judgment it is unquestionably him. To suggest that calm, sure-footed leadership is irrelevant in top-level sport, however, is another matter. Even the greatest sides need decisive, intelligent direction, regardless of who supplies it. The other imperative is to have everyone pulling in the same direction. Shared responsibility and collective ownership are everything, particularly in rugby where the all-for-one, one-for-all ethos is fundamental. Hence why the public on-field spat between Maro Itoje and his fly-half Fin Smith early in the second half of England’s 23-18 defeat in Rome has raised eyebrows. England were ahead 12-10 and had just won a scrum penalty near the Italian line. Immediately it felt like a revealing moment: would they kick for the posts or, in search of potentially greater reward, double down on their momentum, go to the corner and set up a close-range lineout drive? Jamie George, England’s former captain, held up three fingers to Itoje to indicate his preference. Ellis Genge, however, feigned to take a quick tap before appearing to suggest, with a smile, that they should kick to the corner. When Smith also double-checked the call, Itoje’s patience snapped. “Don’t argue with me, take the three!” he screamed at his young fly-half. If ever there was a snapshot of the heightened pressure of Test rugby this was surely it. Itoje is not a habitual screamer; indeed, Steve Borthwick specifically cited his measured demeanour when he promoted the lock to the captaincy. “It struck me that Maro thinks really well under pressure,” stressed the head coach. “He stays calm under pressure.” Less so at the weekend. Happily for all involved, ...

MattGush/iStock Editorial via Getty Images PG&E ( PCG ) is a major utility company focused primarily on California that has been called out for high electric rates and ineffective wildfire management. The company is one we last discussed in December , and since then it has outperformed the S&P 500 by 17%. Despite that, as we'll see in this article, the company's recent earnings and the focus they show on the company's long-term potential make it a valuable investment. PG&E 2025 Overview PG&E had a strong 2025 and expects to continue that strength into 2026. PG&E Investor Presentation PG&E 2025 Results Investor Presentation The company had $1.5/share in 2025 full-year EPS, putting it at a low double-digit P/E and representing 10% growth over 2024. Going into 2026, the company expects another 10% growth to $1.65/share in EPS. Through the end of the decade, PG&E expects almost double-digit EPS growth with no fresh equity to be released. PG&E Investor Presentation PG&E has done this with electric rates 11% lower than 2024. With the growth of large load projects (data centers), the company sees 3.6 GW of potential additional demand. The company is moving towards a 20% by 2028 dividend payout, which is fairly minor, but as the company improves its balance sheet, growth will be able to accelerate. PG&E Wildfires Among PG&E’s largest risks are major wildfires, which can devastate cities and cost tens of billions. PG&E Investor Presentation The state of California has worked with the major utilities to help insure wildfire risk in exchange for major asset upgrades. For 2023, 2024, and 2025, PG&E has had no structures destroyed in PG&E-attributable wildfires. The company has to help contribute as a stakeholder to the California wildfire fund, but predictable expenses are much better than uncapped liability. PG&E Investment Model PG&E now needs to figure out how to handle decades of underinvestment without drastically increasing rates. PG&E Investor Presentation The company se...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images How I Can Still Be Bullish Even After The Stock Falling PayPal ( PYPL ) can be a very polarizing stock to talk about. On one hand you have people who've been invested for years and rode the stock price up to the record levels of $300 per share and haven’t sold since. Then on the other hand you have those who see it as a failing business that won’t stand the test of time. Even though it generated over $33 billion in revenues and $6.4 billion in operating cash flows. I’ve written a total of two times before about this company. It isn’t easy to say that I haven’t done that well with my ratings and recommendations though. The first article came out on September 26 and was in fact my third on the site. Since then the stock has fallen by 30.53% at the time of writing this. Previous Coverage (Seeking Alpha / Author) The second time I wrote about it was on December 19th and since then the stock has fallen by 21.84%. Much of the losses have happened in just this year as shares are down nearly 20%, most of that happening after the last earnings report when it missed on the top line and normalized EPS, but beat on GAAP EPS instead. I hope that most people who follow me realize that my ratings aren’t for the short-term. I don’t rate a company a strong buy and then turn around and downgrade it to a buy or even sell just because of a small hiccup or change of market sentiment. I look at my investments that I have exposure to (which PYPL falls within) as long-term and multi-year holdings. I’m sticking with a Strong Buy rating because much of the qualities I’ve echoed before I still think are true. PYPL is a massive cash flow generating machine that is actively using this to reward shareholders. Just because the market hasn’t caught up to this yet doesn't make it a bad investment. With the share price falling but PYPL’s financial numbers still looking strong they’ll continue to get a good “bang for their buck” with buybacks. But there are...

This performance reinforces our confidence in the strength and resiliency of our business.” Mr. Salmirs continued, “From a margin perspective, results were below our expectations, driven primarily by Technical Solutions, which as we’ve noted in the past, is inherently project-driven and can vary quarter to quarter. This period was impacted by project timing, including temporary weather-related delays, as well as service mix, resulting in approximately $0.05 of EPS pressure relative to our internal plan. Business & Industry and Manufacturing & Distribution, however, performed in line with our expectations reflecting the impact of the new and amended contracts we discussed on our third quarter call, and Education delivered another quarter of strong...

Miaows and barks break the silence of the countryside, once an evacuation zone, as the 63-year-old brings food to the animals left behind when their owners fled the triple disaster of March 11, 2011: earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident. “It’s because of this plant, where we worked for years, that these animals ended up like this,” Akama said at his home in northern Japan, surrounded by cats.

CrowdStrike has a leg up over its competitors, according to Morgan Stanley. The bank upgraded the cybersecurity stock to overweight from equal weight, also naming it a top pick. Analyst Meta Marshall also lifted her price target to $510 per share from $487, signaling upside of 17%. Despite an expensive valuation, Marshall thinks CrowdStrike is best positioned for outperformance in the coming years. She said the platform looks most likely to gain share and should see AI tailwinds. CRWD 1Y mountain CRWD 1Y chart "[We are] upgrading CRWD as durable platform winner from favorable AI positioning, growing uptake of emerging modules and improving endpoint trends," Marshall wrote. "Valuation expensive, but view 20%+ topline growth potential, improving margin/FCF profile and defensible moat as ample justification." CrowdStrike trades at 89 times trailing earnings, well above the S & P 500's forward multiple of 27.6, according to FactSet. The analyst believes that Falcon Flex, CrowdStrike's subscription model, could continue serving as a tailwind from here. "Recent dislocation in the shares creates an opportunity, particularly with FQ4 earnings and company's appearance at our recent TMT conference re-echoing confidence in positioning. We see the stock continuing to grind higher as Falcon Flex grows at an outsized rate (up 120% YoY in FQ4), company sees 're-Flexes' happening sooner into cycles and endpoint business continues to act as a helpful top of funnel driver," she said. Marshall applauded the strong demand trends currently boosting the cybersecurity industry. She believes that CrowdStrike looks like a clear winner in platform consolidation, and also applauded the company's best-in-class management team. CrowdStrike stock has slipped 7% this year, caught up in the broader sell-off plaguing the software industry. Over the past 12 months, however, shares have surged nearly 41%.

Private equity firm Stirling Square Capital Partners is facing off against its lender Tikehau Capital SCA over control of an Italian bottle-cap maker, according to people familiar with the matter. As part of ongoing restructuring talks between Tapí Group and its creditors, Tikehau took over one of its holding companies in February after it enforced a claim on a €35 million ($40.7 million) debt, according to a Luxembourg corporate filing. Stirling Square is pushing back against the move and exploring routes to keep hold of the company it acquired in late 2022, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private matters. Private credit funds can earn higher returns lending to holding companies that are further away from a company’s assets and operations. The risk is that if the loan sours, seizing control of a borrower is more complicated than if the fund had lent to the operating company. Takeover Stalled Shortly after Tikehau’s move to stake a claim on the holding company, the Italian bidding and borrowing vehicle for Stirling Square’s acquisition applied for court-supervised proceedings, including protection from creditors, according to the people and corporate filings. That’s keeping Tikehau from installing new company board members and effectively taking over the business, said the people. A spokesperson for Stirling Square declined to comment. Representatives of Tikehau and Tapí didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Tapí’s operating business itself never merged with bidding vehicle SSCP Sunrise Bidco SpA and its day-to-day operations are unaffected by the restructuring, said some of the people familiar. The group struggled amid a glut of inventory that followed the pandemic, which caused beverage companies to load up on supplies. Consumer demand subsequently dropped and pushed down demand for its bottle caps. Tapí’s debt includes €146 million in bank loans to SSCP Sunrise Bidco.

The owners of Trilliant Holdings Inc. are exploring a sale of the smart-grid technology company after attracting inquiries from potential buyers, according to people familiar with the matter. Founder Steve Muzzo owns a majority stake in the business alongside Toronto-based private credit firm Third Eye Capital . After receiving expressions of interest, they hired Jefferies Financial Group Inc. to speak with potential bidders, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private deliberations. The talks are at an early stage and there’s no certainty they’ll result in a deal, according to the people. “Trilliant continues to perform strongly, we had a record year in 2025, and are on track for another record year across our global business in 2026,” Trilliant Executive Chairman Andrew White said in an email. “As is common for companies operating in sectors experiencing significant infrastructure investment and consolidation like ours, shareholders periodically review inbound strategic interest with the assistance of advisers.” Muzzo and Third Eye Capital didn’t reply to requests for comment. Trilliant sells technology to electrical utilities, helping them monitor usage, manage outages and integrate renewable energy into the grid. It also offers hardware and software solutions for water utilities. Third Eye is a Toronto-based alternative credit manager that provides financing to middle-market companies through private loans. Firms such as Third Eye often combine debt and equity investments, allowing them to fund businesses while earning returns through multiple parts of the capital structure. The original loan from Third Eye was structured as a payment-in-kind facility, according to the people. So-called PIK loans allow the borrower to add to the principal of the loan instead of paying cash interest — meaning the balance grows quickly. Stronger cash generation has allowed Trilliant to reduce the debt, the people said. Trilliant expects to secure new bookings f...

Ten players from Jamaican side Mount Pleasant have been denied a visa to enter the United States for Wednesday's Concacaf Champions Cup tie against LA Galaxy. Mount Pleasant, winners of the 2025 Concacaf Caribbean Cup, are set to make their Champions Cup debut against Galaxy at the Dignity Health Sports Park in California. The Jamaican side have been forced to call up a number of academy players for the fixture. "We don't want to just show up for the game, we want to be able to compete, but we are not being given the opportunity to be at our best," Mount Pleasant sporting director Paul Christie told the Jamaica Observer., external Mount Pleasant's squad includes seven players from the Caribbean island nation of Haiti. United States President Donald Trump announced a partial travel ban on nationals from Haiti in June 2025. Exemptions are in place for events such as the World Cup, which is being co-hosted by the US this summer. The Champions Cup is organised by Concacaf and involves teams from North America, Central America and the Caribbean. It is unclear if an exemption is in place for the tournament. BBC Sport has contacted Concacaf and Mount Pleasant for comment.
