Further, the company reported higher segmental sales in the first seven weeks of the second half. In Australia, the shares were losing around 4.3 percent, to trade at A$3.8100. The company's net profit for the period decreased 17.1 percent to A$247 million from last year's A$298 million. Underlying net profit declined 6.7 percent to A$278 million from A$298 million a year ago. Underlying profit before income tax decreased 6.6 percent year-over-year to A$408 million, and the group's underlying EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) dropped 5.4 percent to A$563 million. The retail segment's underlying EBIT also decreased 11.6 percent to A$327 million. However, the company's overall group sales edged up 0.9 percent to A$6.68 billion from A$6.62 billion last year. Retail sales grew by 0.2 percent to A$5.51 billion. Further, the Board has determined to pay a fully franked interim dividend of 10.8 cents per share.

The company added that its retail business is continuing to gain share in a competitive liquor market, although sales growth in both retail and hotels moderated in February compared to January. The prior year's retail sales during the first seven weeks were impacted by effects of supply chain disruption. For more earnings news, earnings calendar, and earnings for stocks, visit rttnews.com.

Apple, the exclusive US broadcaster of Formula One, is in a race of its own in artificial intelligence, and until recently, almost no one had it pegged as a winner. With its spring hardware refresh, it’s putting pedal to the metal. The tech behemoth has been unveiling a slew of updates and new products this week, most of which offer customers hardware that is better equipped to handle the AI innovations constantly thrown their way. The new MacBook Air will be powered by Apple’s M5 chip, while the new MacBook Pro will run on the latest chips, the M5 Pro and M5 Max. The company also revealed the iPhone 17e, which enables Apple Intelligence and other AI models to run faster, and the new iPad Air comes with (you guessed it) a better chip. “With M5, MacBook Air powers through a wide range of tasks, from everyday productivity to creative workloads, and is even faster for AI,” John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of hardware engineering, said in a statement. Separately, the company said the new MacBook Pro will deliver “up to 4x AI performance compared to the previous generation.” Reckoning and Revamp Apple’s AI-focused product revamp comes as the company trails its tech rivals, such as Meta, Amazon and Alphabet, in harnessing the fast-growing technology. Critics say that customers don’t come to Apple solely for hardware; they come for a top-of-the-line experience using their phones, computers and other devices, and that increasingly includes AI innovations. In December, the company’s AI head, John Giannandrea, stepped down after being sidelined for much of last year, per Bloomberg, and the company spent less on AI than its peers. Whatever customers’ motivations for buying Apple products, one thing is certain: Its AI comeback will cost them: The new MacBook Airs start at $1,099 for the 13-inch and $1,299 for the 15-inch, a $100 price bump for each, although they come with more storage. The MacBook Pros are getting more expensive, too. Memory Squeeze: Suppliers aren’t...

With the S&P 500 down 0.9%, Tuesday was choppy at best for markets. One company, however, managed to live up to its name and hit the mark. Shares in stagnant retailer Target rose 6.4% as executives pitched investors on a turnaround plan during an event at the company’s Minneapolis HQ. Their upbeat projections follow a tough few years. Right on Tarjay Minneapolis gave the world Prince, an outsider virtuoso alternative to Michael Jackson’s pop, and Hüsker Dü, the college radio alternative to rock itself. With Target, it spawned “cheap chic” or “affordable joy,” the notion of a more fashionable big box retailer that was at least perceptually an alternative to rivals focused on low prices. The objective was not to beat Walmart prices, though Target sometimes did, but to offer affordability with panache, as exhibited by partnerships with runway designers like Marc Jacobs and Isaac Mizrahi. For a long time, that worked, but as consumers’ affordability concerns spiked in recent years, many gravitated toward the low prices at Walmart and Amazon. Target’s shares have slid nearly 50% from their 2021 peak, sales have slumped as people spend less on home furnishing and discretionary purchases, and its limited grocery footprint left it at a disadvantage. On Tuesday, the company reported a poor holiday season, with sales falling 1.5% to cap off a year in which they fell 1.7%. So why did the stock pop? It’s all about the forecast: Executives said sales rose in February and that they expect to do roughly 2% more in retail this year. Target is also spending to win back market share, allocating $5 billion for capital spending this year, a 25% increase, to remodel old stores, open new ones, and fund upgrades. The retailer is also adding new food, beauty, apparel and home decor items (high-end sunscreen Supergoop and an expanded denim line with Levi’s, for example) and has laid off white-collar workers to staff up stores after years of complaints about disorganized shelves and long che...

As the UK becomes the latest country to consider following Australia’s lead on a social media ban for teenagers, a question Australians are repeatedly being asked is: how is it going? “Our data is still minimal,” says Caroline Thain, national clinical adviser with the mental health organisation Headspace. “We’re really waiting for a few more months before we do a deeper dive.” About one in 10 teenagers coming into Headspace centres have brought up the social media ban as their reason for seeking support, she says. When the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, talks of the triumph of the ban, he in part measures it by the number of accounts removed: 4.7m from the 10 platforms that were required to comply with the ban from 10 December 2025. But that number covers just the number of Australian account deactivations on platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Twitch in the days after the ban. It may measure the technical success in getting the platforms to comply with the ban – which was no small feat – but it’s not the full picture. Last week the eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, announced an evaluation of the ban. The study will follow more than 4,000 children and families for more than two years. There will be surveys, and opt-in smartphone use tracking, capturing information on time spent and time-of-day app use. The assessment will build on external data including school test results, and healthcare and drug prescription data. “The study will explore a wide range of outcomes, including children’s wellbeing and mental health, their exposure to online risks and harms, and their digital habits and social media patterns,” Inman Grant says. “It will also examine help-seeking behaviour, family relationships and parenting experiences and, the early experiences and impacts on young people under 16.” View image in fullscreen Australia’s eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant.

(Columbia) The music on Styles’s new album is muted, subtle and pleasant – but from the title downwards, he has a real problem with words Everything about the launch of Harry Styles’s fourth solo album underlines that its author is a very big deal indeed. Record stores in the UK are opening at midnight or first thing in the morning on the day of release, the better for fans to avail themselves of a copy at once. Styles has been announced as curator of this year’s Meltdown festival at London’s Southbank Centre, an honour previously bestowed on Scott Walker, Patti Smith, Yoko Ono, Ornette Coleman and David Bowie. Last week’s Brit awards featured not merely a beautifully choreographed performance of the album’s lead single, Aperture, but a comedy skit that was, essentially, a two-and-a-half-minute-long advert for Styles’s new album: there was no doubt who the organisers thought the star of the show was. Most striking of all, the accompanying tour largely eschews actual touring in favour of lengthy residencies in one venue per country, or even continent: North America is covered by a staggering 30 dates at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The expectation seemed to be that Styles’s fans are so devoted, they’ll cross the country to see him, rather than vice versa. This sense, that people will travel wherever Harry Styles wants them to, attends the album itself. It is devoid of unequivocal pop bangers along the lines of As It Was or Watermelon Sugar. Aperture’s hazy, post-club mood wasn’t a soft launch. Whether it’s dealing in mid-tempo house beats topped with plangent piano chords, as on American Girls, or the acoustic singer-songwriter-isms of Paint By Numbers, a lot of what’s here feels like music made in the small hours, with the curtains drawn against the dawn. It somehow manages to sound understated even on Are You Listening Yet? – which variously features a clattering dance rhythm, a bassline not unlike that of Reel 2 Real’s I Like to Move It and a spoken word voca...

Loud, brash and blokey, it’s not nearly as fresh as the director’s last take on the sleuth 15 years ago. There are flashes of fun, even if Moriarty blows the lead off the screen Guy Ritchie has made a new TV series about Sherlock Holmes and the long and the short of it is … hmm. But first, some questions. Does the eight-part mystery-drama include scenes in which flippant young men in flat caps shout “Oi” while hurtling through the air in slow motion? It does. Are there bare knuckle biff-ups during which bulbous cockneys cheer on other bulbous cockneys and Irish folk music diddles frantically in the background? There are. Might there also be bits where everything suddenly goes really fast for no reason, effortful banter between bruisers in tweed trousers, blundering rozzers and the sense that while female characters are welcome to contribute to the plot, they are very much excluded from being any sort of fun? Well, duh. Or rather, strike a light an’ cor blimey, guv’nor, you’ve got this Guy Ritchie geezer bang to rights. For here is Young Sherlock, a very large and very loud new series for Prime Video that was “executive produced and directed by the man who made Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, then that one with Brad Pitt, then some other films that weren’t either of those ones apparently” written through it like a stick of bleedin’ rock.

The visionary photographer captured the ugliness of racism in America, as well as the strength and dignity of those who opposed it – from cleaners in the corridors of power to Martin Luther King Jr proclaiming his dream In the summer of 1956, the American news magazine Life dispatched its first Black staff photographer, Gordon Parks, to Alabama, with a brief to document racial segregation in the wake of the Montgomery bus boycott. The trip was a perilous one , but Parks, then in his early 40s, was already on a career trajectory that would mark him out as one of the most consequential artists of his generation. The images he returned with were remarkable: intimate and vivid depictions of the daily disgrace of the Jim Crow south. They still feel prescient today. The photographs form the backbone of a new survey of Parks’ work, opening this week at the Alison Jacques gallery in London and curated by Bryan Stevenson, the famed civil rights attorney. Stevenson is based in Montgomery where he founded a museum and memorial to commemorate Black victims of lynchings and where some of Parks’ work hangs on permanent display. He selected images taken between 1942 and 1967, the artist’s most active time as a photographer and an acute period of unrest in the American experiment. Continue reading...

Her first album was a huge hit – then she faced the sudden tragedy of her husband’s early death. She describes the rupture of grief, her return to music and the harsh reality of fame as a woman in the 00s Twenty years ago, Corinne Bailey Rae had her first huge hit single, and her only one. Put Your Records On was one of the great feelgood anthems of 2006. A warm, breezy hymn to authenticity, its key message was keep playing those songs you love, and don’t give a toss about what others tell you is cool. The single was accompanied by her first self-titled album, which topped the charts in the UK and reached number four in the US. If there was one thing Bailey Rae seemed assured of, it was longevity. She wrote or co-wrote her own songs, had a voice that was compared to that of Billie Holiday and Minnie Riperton, there was a timelessness to her music and she was super smart (four As at A-level, if you must know). Then she was hit by a tragedy that derailed her. In 2008, her husband of seven years and fellow musician Jason Rae died of an accidental drug overdose. Continue reading...

创下历史罕见的两连板后，“三桶油”今日盘中高位获利回吐迹象明显。 继中国石化、中国石油、中国海油（下称 “三桶油”）创下历史罕见两连板后，3月4日开盘，“三桶油”集体大幅回调：中国石化一度触及跌停，中国石油跌9.5%，中国海油跌超8%。截至早盘收盘，中国石化收跌4.48%，中国石油跌1.22%，中国海油跌2.28%，高位获利回吐迹象明显。 消息面上，3月3日晚间，“三桶油”集中发布股票交易异常波动公告，同步向投资者提示风险。 三家公司均明确表示，此前股价大幅上涨主要受地缘局势驱动。公告提及：近期国际原油市场受地缘局势、供需格局等多重因素影响，价格呈现宽幅震荡走势，短期油价波动存在较大不确定性，敬请广大投资者注意投资风险。 国际方面，第一财经记者注意到，为对冲伊朗关闭霍尔木兹海峡引发的油市恐慌与油价非理性上涨，美国方面释放稳价信号。 当地时间3月4日，美国总统特朗普在社交媒体发文称，已指示美国国际开发金融公司（DFC）以合理价格提供担保，保障海湾地区能源贸易等海上航运金融安全，并表态，“如有必要，美国海军将尽快为油轮提供护航”。 此前一日，特朗普已对外媒表示，短期内油价将维持高位，但一旦美伊敌对状态解除，当前高油价将回落，甚至跌至此前水平下方。 不过市场分析认为，霍尔木兹海峡短期内恢复正常通航难度较大。 Rapidan Energy分析师鲍勃·麦克纳利（Bob McNally）表示：“假设德黑兰决定继续战斗，我们预计霍尔木兹海峡的全面恢复也将需要数周时间，而不是数小时或数天，即使已经宣布了提供保险或护航船只的有益计划。” 供应端方面，尽管海峡封锁已显著冲击原油外运，但有消息称，国际能源署（IEA）已准备好在伊朗冲突升级后协助稳定全球油市，并披露成员国持有超10亿桶应急石油库存。 隆众资讯分析师李彦对记者表示，绕道其他航线意味着成本的抬升，但对航运和供应的实际影响还需观察其关闭的持续时长。 “ 如果本次伊以冲突持续时间没有显著拉长，比如类似前两年、冲突时间控制在20天左右，对全球原油供应的影响依然处于可控范围。” “伊以局势、美伊谈判进展已成为当前主导油价走势的核心变量。”隆众资讯原油分析师吴燕认为，后续油价波动高度取决于冲突是否进一步升级、是否波及能源设施及霍尔木兹海峡航运安全。

格隆汇3月4日｜自本周中东冲突爆发以来，日元持续走弱，背离其传统避险资产角色，东京交易员正为政府可能入市干预做准备。日元自上周五以来已贬值约1%，至1美元兑157.2日元。交易员表示，这与以往地缘政治紧张时期的情况形成鲜明对比。Astris Advisory日本策略师Neil Newman表示：“日元已经不再是避险资产。企业大约四年前就不再这样做了。它们现在面临的压力恰恰相反，被鼓励进行海外投资，而且仍在大规模这样做。在日本当前的经济环境下，没有动力把资金汇回国内。”分析人士称，日元的意外疲软凸显了日本经济中的结构性变化与脆弱性。市场一直在评估高市早苗扩大财政支出计划以及她反对日本央行进一步加息立场的影响。摩根资管亚太区首席市场策略师Tai Hui表示，汇率波动加剧已显著降低日元作为对冲货币的吸引力。地缘冲突还加大了日本对能源价格上涨和通胀上行风险的敞口。

Funtap/iStock via Getty Images Fund Overview The Goldman Sachs ( GS ) US Equity Dividend and Premium Fund (“GS US ED&P Fund”) seeks to maximize income and total return. Additionally, the Fund aims to generate outperformance in uncertain markets. The GS US ED&P Fund ( GS PAX) tilts towards higher dividend yielding stocks and writes index call options on 20-75% of its value in an attempt to generate additional return. Fund Performance The GS US ED&P Fund returned 3.18% (I-share, net) over the fourth quarter of 2025, outperforming the S&P 500 by 52 basis points (bps). During the quarter, both the dividend bias and index call writing components contributed positively to performance. The S&P 500 Index rose over two percent in the fourth quarter of 2025. During the quarter, US equity markets delivered positive returns despite a longest government shutdown and rising job cuts. The market responded positively to the Federal Reserve’s continued interest rate cuts in December and anticipating further rate cuts in 2026. However, the market experienced some volatility at the end of the year due to investor profit-taking.

Nvidia (NVDA) GTC 2026 Is Coming: Here’s What to Expect from Huang’s Big AI Event TipRanks

韩国交易所（KRX）周三公布的数据显示，在美国和以色列对伊朗发动空袭后的首个交易日（3月3日），韩国股市的卖空交易额达到2.46万亿韩元，较前一交易日增加了 5180 亿韩元。 周二，韩国综合股价指数（KOSPI）大幅下跌超过 7%，原因是由于中东局势不断恶化，市场避险情绪加剧。 当天的卖空交易额与 2025 年的日均 1.9 万亿韩元相比，呈现出明显的增加趋势。 卖空是一种投资策略，即先借入证券进行出售，然后在之后以更低的价格购入股票进行偿还。卖空者通过股票价格的下跌来获取利润。 分析师表示，市场预期韩国股市的波动性将会加大，同时韩元汇率也将大幅下跌（此前韩元汇率曾跌至 2009 年以来的最低点），这些因素可能刺激了卖空交易的需求。 责任编辑：于健 SF069
