jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Molson Coors Beverage Company ( TAP ) closed on its acquisition of Atomic Brands in a development that brings Monaco Cocktails into the company's U.S. Beyond Beer portfolio. Weighing in on the deal, TD Cowen analyst Robert Moskow noted that while Monaco's growth has slowed in the past year, it is still considered a strong brand in the rapidly evolving RTD spirits category. Moskow and his team anticipate a 1% lift to Molson Coors' ( TAP ) revenue from the acquisition. Evercore ISI was also positive on the deal. Analyst Robert Ottenstein said the addition of higher-growth brands helps Molson Coors ( TAP ) work toward returning to delivering results in line with its low single-digit, medium-term sales algorithm, which is now inclusive of M&A. "Monaco fits well given the distribution overlap and strength in independents and c-stores, while runway remains as the brand starts to expand into large format and as on-premise venues become a bigger priority," updated Ottenstein. The acquisition was noted to establish Molson Coors (ATP) as a top-five supplier in the fast-growing ready-to-drink cocktail segment. Looking ahead, Molson Coors ( TAP ) is focused on supporting the plan for Monaco's next phase of growth and leveraging its national scale while maintaining continuity for customers, distributors, and consumers. The acquisition is also expected to support the company’s long-term strategy to build a strong portfolio of scaled brands across beer and beyond beer, aligned with evolving consumer preferences and occasions. Launched in 2012 by Atomic Brands, Monaco helped ignite the RTD cocktail category and popularized the concept of canned cocktails for big nights, high-intensity sports, and live events. Monaco Cocktails was introduced as Atomic's flagship ready-to-drink (RTD) line, positioned around "premium quality, bold flavor, endless energy, plus zero fuss." Monaco gradually broadened its base formulas beyond pure spirits to ...
Tesla is unlikely to go higher anytime soon as the electric vehicle company sees a record surge in unsold cars, according to JPMorgan. The investment bank reiterated its underweight rating for the EV maker and maintained its $145 price target. That implies roughly 60% downside from Thursday's close.

Tesla is unlikely to go higher anytime soon as the electric vehicle company sees a record surge in unsold cars, according to JPMorgan. The investment bank reiterated its underweight rating for the EV maker and maintained its $145 price target. That implies roughly 60% downside from Thursday's close. "We ... advise investors approach TSLA shares with a high degree of caution," analyst Ryan Brinkman said in a note. "Although both technology and execution risk seem substantially less than was once feared, expansion into higher volume segments with lower price points seems fraught with greater risk relative to demand, execution, and competition." JPMorgan lowered its forecast for the company's earnings per share outlook in 2026 to $1.80 from $2, below consensus estimates, after Tesla delivered less vehicle than expected. Tesla delivered around 358,000 vehicles in the first quarter , below the roughly 370,000 analysts polled by StreetAccount anticipated. The analyst added that JPMorgan's rating "considers notable investment positives, including a highly differentiated business model, appealing product portfolio, and leading-edge technology." However, those positive attributes are "more than offset by above-average execution risk, rising competition, growing controversy with regard to the brand, and valuation that seems to be pricing in a lot." JPMorgan's call goes against consensus on the Street. Of the 54 analysts covering Tesla, just 10 have an underperform or sell rating on the stock, per LSEG. Shares have fallen nearly 20% in the year to date, although the stock is still up roughly 51% over the past 12 months.

After fall of communism, signs were left to rust until museum founders began to collect and restore them As they struggled through the decades of cold war gloom and repression, Warsaw’s neon signs became symbols of light, colour and hope of brighter days for the people of the city. What had started as a form of Soviet propaganda sparked a wave of creativity in the Polish capital that even the Communist authorities could not crush. But after communism ended in the late 1980s, many of the signs lost their purpose and began to disappear, left to rust where they hung or removed and taken to the scrapyard. Continue reading...
