Earnings Call Insights: Crawford & Company (CRD.B) Q4 2025 Management View Interim President, CEO & Director Bruce W. Swain opened by highlighting, "Overall, we delivered solid performance in a benign weather year. Revenue was down slightly compared to full year 2024, but we improved our operating earnings and margins." Swain emphasized strong performance in nonweather business, while weather-related segments faced challenges due to lower claims activity. He also noted, "We have streamlined our global operating structure...we have moved Canada under our International Operations and established a new U.S. operating structure to improve operational efficiency, enhance client outcomes and support scalable growth."

Boudreau reported, "We finalized the sale of our Crawford Legal Services operations in the U.K. and our 80% interest in our legal services business in Chile. With these sales, we have fully exited the legal advisory services businesses, which generated lower margin revenues of $16.2 million in 2025." Boudreau noted, "During 2025, we paid an annual dividend of $0.29 per share, having increased the quarterly dividend to $0.075 per share in the 2025 third quarter and we rep...

The AI PC market is poised for explosive growth, projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30% from 2025 to 2034, surging from $91.2 billion in 2025 to nearly $967 billion by the end of the forecast period. This rapid escalation is fueled by increasing demand for on-device AI capabilities in consumer and enterprise computing. Competition is intensifying, with Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) dominating Arm-based solutions through its Snapdragon lineup, while Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) has a stronghold in the x86 architecture segment. However, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) has just "unleashed" its Ryzen AI 400 Series processors, the world's first desktop chips certified for Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Copilot+ experiences, aiming to erode Intel's market share in the x86 space by delivering superior AI performance with up to 50 trillion operations per second (TOPS) from its integrated Neural Processing Units (NPUs), which are a specialized hardware component -- a type of AI accelerator -- built into modern processors to handle neural network and AI workloads.

is a news writer covering all things consumer tech. Stevie started out at Laptop Mag writing news and reviews on hardware, gaming, and AI. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. During Apple’s week-long product launch event on Tuesday, a listing for the “MacBook Neo (Model A3404)” appeared on a regulatory compliance page on Apple’s website under its line-up of 2026 MacBooks. First spotted by MacRumors, the listing appears to be an accident and has since been removed, but may have been a leaked reference to a rumored entry-level MacBook. Unfortunately, it didn’t include any additional details beyond the device’s name and model number. Apple has reportedly been working on a budget-friendly MacBook priced under $1,000 and powered by an iPhone processor, rather than an M-series chip like the rest of the Mac line-up. It is also expected to have a smaller display, potentially bringing back the 12-inch display size Apple retired several years ago. The lower price and an “entirely new design” could help the new MacBook appeal to students and casual users, competing with Chromebooks and low-cost Windows laptops. A more affordable MacBook could be especially appealing after Apple announced the M5 MacBook Air on Tuesday, which has a higher starting price than last year’s Air.

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva ’s government is resisting the idea of extending a financial lifeline to BRB, a state-owned bank controlled by a political adversary and under pressure to bolster capital after losses tied to Banco Master SA . The federal government is monitoring the situation but has little inclination to intervene at this stage, according to people familiar with the matter. Banco do Brasil and Caixa Economica Federal — the two largest federally controlled lenders and among the few institutions in Brazil with the balance-sheet capacity to assist — have not been authorized by the finance ministry to participate in negotiations or assess BRB’s books, two of the people said. They all requested anonymity to discuss the government’s thinking. Representatives for the finance ministry and Caixa didn’t immediately reply to requests for comment. Banco do Brasil declined to comment. The government’s reluctance comes amid heightened tensions ahead of the October presidential election, as political rivalry intensifies across Brazil — including between Lula and Brasilia Governor Ibaneis Rocha , who controls BRB. Rocha is aligned with former President Jair Bolsonaro and associated with the so-called centrao bloc in Congress, a loosely organized group of centrist parties known for forming pragmatic alliances with administrations of varying ideological stripes in exchange for political influence and budgetary concessions. BRB occupies a singular position in the nation’s capital. It is one of the few remaining banks controlled by a Brazilian state, after most were privatized in the 1990s or absorbed by Banco do Brasil and Caixa. While BRB doesn’t rank among Brazil’s biggest banks, it is the largest financial institution to run into trouble following exposure to Banco Master. Smaller lenders with ties to Master have already been liquidated by the central bank. Read More: Brazil’s Capital City Seeks Aid for Its Bank After Master Fiasco Before its failure, Master so...

Art Wager/E+ via Getty Images Venture Global ( VG ) +6.8% in Tuesday's trading after a New York state judge rejected Shell's ( SHEL ) request to throw out an arbitration award that favored the U.S. company in a dispute over the alleged improper sale of liquefied natural gas. The judge determined Monday that no additional discovery was warranted because of the substantial deference the court must give to arbitral decisions, effectively ending Shell's ( SHEL ) challenge of Venture Global's ( VG ) failure to provide it with LNG cargoes even after the plant began production. "We believe the stock price remains depressed due to arbitration overhang," UBS analyst Manav Gupta said. "This news will likely be seen as a positive." Several energy companies including Shell ( SHEL ), BP ( BP ) and Repsol ( REPYF ) ( REPYY ) began filing arbitration claims in 2023 against Venture Global ( VG ), which was accused of wrongfully profiteering by selling gas at higher prices on the spot market following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, instead of honoring its contracts. Venture Global's ( VG ) Calcasieu Pass facility in Louisiana began commercial operations in April 2025; Shell ( SHEL ) has a separate long-term contract with Venture Global's Plaquemines facility, also in Louisiana.

The unanswered question about South Africa is what happens if the top order fails. Jansen appears a place too high at number seven. Will they feel free to go hard in a knockout game? The Proteas are also unique among the semi-finalists in that they do not have a wrist spinner in their XI, instead leaving their spin duties to left-arm finger spinner Keshav Maharaj and part-time off-spinner Markram. It has meant the Proteas have bowled the fewest amount of spin overs in the tournament – just 22.8%. In contrast, 53% of England's overs have been from spinners. "You can only pretty much cut your coat according to your cloth size and we don't have wrist spinners or mystery spinners," Conrad said. "Our bowling attack was fashioned in such a way that we've got wicket-taking options and that's something that we've driven, especially with guys like KG [Rabada] and Marco [Jansen] - their impact in the match will be through taking wickets." South Africa's gaps have been filled by Ngidi, who Conrad calls a "mystery seamer", and seamer Corbin Bosch. Ngidi is known for his range of slower balls. He has only conceded 6.2 runs per over in the middle phase of the innings while the unheralded Bosch has taken six wickets in that period. "They're all Test-match bowlers so bowling a Test-match length doesn't come difficult to them so and I think that's still a really tough length to hit consistently. "Bosch keeps it really, really simple, he trains smartly, he trains hard, he doesn't give himself too many options. "We have Lungi that's got a really deceptive slower ball and then Marco and KG are Marco and KG. "It's nice to be able to have that sort of variety." In 2024, India became the first team to win the T20 World Cup unbeaten. If South Africa are to win it, they will now have to do the same. "The South Africa side look ready," said former England captain Michael Vaughan. "I do think that World Test Championship final victory at Lord's has given them that boost. "India played the pur...

Davizro/iStock via Getty Images The 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament opens in 100 days with Mexico vs. South Africa scheduled to be played at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on June 11. The global event is set to be a powerful catalyst across travel, consumer, media, and payments stocks. Consumer products and services Global sponsors and kit suppliers such as Nike ( NKE ), Adidas ( ADDYY ), and Puma ( PMMAF ) have cited World Cup-driven sales boosts in jersey, boot, and lifestyle apparel sales in the past two World Cups. Ticket resellers StubHub ( STUB ) and Vivid Seats ( SEAT ) are likely to see additional sales. The impact for major sponsors Airbnb ( ABNB ), Coca-Cola ( KO ), Visa ( V ), McDonald's ( MCD ), Procter & Gamble ( PG ), Samsung ( SSNLF ), Verizon ( VZ ), PepsiCo's ( PEP ) Frito-Lay, Aramco ( ARMCO ), Bank of America ( BAC ), and Unilever ( UL ) is harder to predict, although there have been World Cup sponsorships that have been notable catalysts. This year, analysts expect Visa ( V ) to see a significant boost if World Cup interest is as high as anticipated. Sports betting and prediction markets. Expectations for sports betting around the 2026 World Cup are extremely bullish, with operators, data providers, and regulators all positioning for record volumes tied to a North American–hosted, expanded tournament. The event is widely expected to be the single biggest catalyst for global handle in the second half of the decade, especially in the U.S., where legal betting infrastructure will be far more mature than it was during the World Cup in Qatar four years ago. Hold rates for sports betting operators such as DraftKings ( DKNG ), FanDuel ( FLUT ), and BetMGM ( MGM ) ( GMVHF ) could be high due to the expectation for a high mix of in-play and micro-betting during matches, which tend to have better outcomes for the house. In addition, same-game parlays are expected to be a major revenue driver, with operators set to utilize bespoke World Cup parlay products th...
Jack Dorsey cited AI as the driving force behind cutting 40% of his company’s employees, but other factors such as a weak crypto market, overstaffing and a declining stock price may also have motivated the move.

Jack Dorsey cited AI as the driving force behind cutting 40% of his company’s employees, but other factors such as a weak crypto market, overstaffing and a declining stock price may also have motivated the move. Last week, the financial technology company Block announced that it would lay off 4,000 of its 10,000 workers. Dorsey, Block’s CEO, said in a letter to shareholders that advances in AI “have changed what it means to build and run a company”. “We’re already seeing it internally. A significantly smaller team, using the tools we’re building, can do more and do it better. And intelligence tool capabilities are compounding faster every week,” he wrote. He also said that Block’s business remained strong and that these cuts weren’t an austerity measure. Can AI operate 40% of a business? Perhaps, but other specters haunt Dorsey’s company. The CEO, and by extension Block, has gone all-in on crypto for the better part of a decade, rebranding in 2021 from Square to Block to evoke “blockchain”. At the time, Dorsey redirected the business towards blockchain and Bitcoin as well as the successful Cash App. The company announced in 2024 that it would invest 10% of its gross profit from bitcoin products into bitcoin itself. A company that has focused its business on cryptocurrency may have other reasons than the miracle of AI to trim its staff. Estimates based on Block’s public financial filings peg its bitcoin holdings around 8,500 BTC. Bitcoin has lost nearly a quarter of its value since the beginning of the year, and the broader cryptocurrency market has shown similar lackluster performance. Before Dorsey’s announcement, Block’s stock had declined by some 35% since a peak in October. The combination of a crypto winter and a weak stock price provides a less futuristic, more tangible, rationale for Dorsey’s cuts. With the radical layoff announcement, he did achieve an immediate result: Block’s stock popped by 20%, growth it sustained in the ensuing days. Markets have respon...

A 32-team festival of joy and global co-operation feels hallucinogenic right now. But here we are, the start of the European qualifiers for next year’s World Cup in Brazil. England find themselves in a group with Ukraine, Iceland and Spain. The team that finishes top qualifies directly; the others will have to enter the playoffs. The main show, undoubtedly, will be the battle between the world champions and Euro winners, but we’ll get to that in April. First up, Antalya, kick-off at 5pm GMT. Continue reading...

is a senior reporter covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. EA is adding some big changes to The Sims 4: Later this month, it’s introducing an in-game marketplace where users can buy creator-made items using a new in-game currency called “Moola.” The announcements mark another big shift for the game, which went free to play back in 2022. Creators who want to sell in-game items will have to be part of the new Maker Program, which will be open to applications starting March 5th. EA will offer a “Maker Suite” that “provides official tools, resources, and clear guidelines” to ensure content made by creators works well when it’s actually in the game. On the marketplace, Makers will be able to list their creations as “Maker Packs” that people can shop for. Users will be able to buy the “Moola” currency that they can spend on things in the marketplace, and EA says that Makers will earn about 30 percent of the Moola from any sales of Maker Packs. EA is covering all of the overhead for creators who want to publish and sell their in-game items, and content available on the Marketplace will be “human-reviewed” to make sure it’s all “safe, compatible, and appropriate for the game’s rating,” EA says. Creators can still offer free or early access content via other platforms, but anything that’s available in other places “is not eligible” to go on sale in the official marketplace. The marketplace will launch on PC and Mac on March 17th, and will come to PlayStation and Xbox “in the next couple of months.” “At its core, the Marketplace is all about giving you more choices, and supporting the Makers whose creativity continues to shape how we all play The Sims,“ EA explained in a blog post. ”As The Sims continues to evolve, our focus remains the same: celebrating self-expression and building the future together as a community.“ The Si...

Tim Sun：能真正在资金和资产端全部上链的基础上，构建一个可以在不同银行、不同机构流转的链上清算网络，这样才能真正发挥区块链的价值。 FT中文网专栏作家 Tim Sun 如果说过去十年的加密货币市场更像以空气和投机为主的草莽时代，那么从2026年起，我们正在进入Web3的工业革命阶段。而这场革命的核心引擎只有一个：RWA（Real World Assets，现实世界资产代币化）。 从国债、货币基金，延伸到不动产、甚至进一步触及股票与更广泛的证券市场似乎都在加速上链条。但问题也摆在眼前：行业整体仍处在过去几年的低谷。市场情绪低迷，许多早期从业者开始重新质疑—加密行业的价值到底在哪里？毕竟从2022年前后美债上链成为主叙事以来，RWA似乎长期困在固定收益这条窄赛道里，既缺少爆发式增长，也缺少新的想象空间。 这种质疑在短期看并不奇怪，甚至符合新产业形成的基本规律。传统金融与加密的融合从来不可能一蹴而就，革命更不会一夜铸成。工业革命引发的危机持续了近百年，信息技术革命同样绵延数十载，但只要趋势形成，这个进程不会因一时的低谷而停下。 RWA的推进为什么难？ 理解RWA的视角必须从传统金融出发。拥有大量资产与负债的机构，不会因为Web3很酷就把资产上链；它们唯一会被说服的理由是：上链能让某些环节更赚钱、更省资本、更少摩擦。 传统金融历经百年演进，其核心痛点在于体系过重导致的清算延迟与运营冗余。对机构而言，这不仅是收益损耗，更是通过高额的资本占用和结算摩擦直接拉低了 ROE（净资产收益率）。 因此，于传统机构而言，区块链最大的价值不是把资产搬上链，而是把资产的流转、清算与风控规则变成可执行的系统能力，让同样的资产用更少的摩擦、更少的资本占用跑起来，从而释放被传统管道锁住的资产效率。但这个过程，一定是曲折而漫长的。 因此，RWA看起来进展缓慢，核心原因并不在技术，而在于它触碰的是传统金融最硬的部分：权属、责任、清算与监管。 过去十年加密行业可以靠共识与流动性完成定价，但RWA不行。它必须回答来自传统金融的关键质疑：资产权利如何确权？现金流如何归集与分配？风险由谁承担、违约如何处置？投资者如何被保护，信息披露如何持续？这些问题任何一个没闭环，RWA 就只能停留在概念阶段。 RWA的难，具体体现在三个层面。 第一是法律与结构的复杂性。 RWA 的挑战不在于Mint一个代币，而在于让...
