It was a new-look England as Wiegman is managing the return of several key players from injury, while rewarding those in form. Manchester City's Laura Blindkilde Brown was handed a rare start, while London City Lionesses defender Poppy Pattinson made her debut in the second half. The back four in the starting XI had fewer than 100 caps combined - with captain Leah Williamson earning 65 of them - as Maya Le Tissier was at right-back over Lucy Bronze, while Taylor Hinds started her third game in four matches at left-back. In-form Jess Park was playing out wide, as she has done for Manchester United so impressively this season, rather than in midfield where Wiegman has often used her. It was uncharacteristically experimental from Wiegman considering this was their first competitive fixture since Euro 2025 and it took time to take shape. England had 40 touches in the opposition box and 85% of the possession in the first half, but failed to score from their 15 efforts on goal. The tempo had dropped, Ukraine were defending well and England's hopes of flying out of the blocks had not materialised. "They didn't quite figure it out in the first half. They were a little bit stunned about what to do," ex-England midfielder Fran Kirby told BBC Radio 5 Live Extra. "Ukraine defended really well. They were really tight between the lines and they made it very difficult for England. "They needed to have a little bit more composure in the box instead of crossing it for the sake of crossing it. "The second half showed that they learned from the first half in terms of what wasn't working." With a side stacked full of quality, the two-time European champions responded in the second half. Arsenal striker Alessia Russo netted two goals in four minutes to put England in control, before a double from Georgia Stanway took them out of Ukraine's reach. Wiegman's "clear win" was confirmed when Park also scored twice later on. "I think it took us the first half to break them down. We were still ...

QUALCOMM (QCOM) built its reputation over the years supplying the chips and connectivity that power modern devices. As artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G reshaped the tech landscape, Qualcomm stood at the center of that shift, benefiting from demand for faster, smarter, and more efficient computing. Yet 2026 has been far less forgiving. Semiconductor stocks have gone through a broad correction, and QCOM has not been spared. The stock is down 19.2% this year, wiping out much of last year’s progress and drifting back toward levels seen several years ago. Weak Q2 guidance in early February, linked to memory shortages and slower smartphone production, added fresh doubts. At the same time, geopolitical tensions and a wider tech sell-off have pressured valuations and crushed the stock’s earlier uptrend. With sentiment fragile and the chart showing clear strain, is this a buy-the-dip opportunity for investors, or a warning sign to remain patient? About QUALCOMM Stock San Diego, California-based QUALCOMM is a fabless semiconductor company with a market cap of $150.5 billion. It shines through its Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT), Qualcomm Technology Licensing (QTL), and Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives (QSI) segments, blending chip innovation with technology licensing and strategic investments. Known for its Snapdragon processors and 5G modems, Qualcomm powers smartphones, smart homes, and connected vehicles. With four decades of expertise, it is expanding intelligent computing through AI, energy-efficient performance, advanced wireless solutions, and its Dragonwing platforms for enterprise and industrial markets. QCOM has had a rough stretch. The stock trades nearly 37.8% below its 52-week high of $205.95, reached last October. Over the past year, shares have slipped about 10%. The pressure has intensified more recently, with the stock down 21% in the last three months. In the first week of January, QCOM was trading above $180. Today, it sits just slightly below $140, essen...

Key Points Alibaba’s high-growth days are over, but its e-commerce and cloud businesses are still expanding. Intuitive Machines could evolve into a “one-stop shop” for space logistics services. 10 stocks we like better than Intuitive Machines › It might seem like a risky time to buy more stocks. The S&P 500 looks historically expensive at nearly 30 times earnings, and the intensifying geopolitical conflicts could drive investors from stocks toward more conservative investments. Yet if you can look past those near-term headwinds and plan to hold your stocks for at least a few more years, there are still plenty of bargains that deserve your attention. I believe two of those stocks -- Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) and Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ: LUNR) -- could easily turn a modest $1,000 investment into a lot more money. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Alibaba Alibaba, China's largest e-commerce and cloud infrastructure company, still trades more than 50% below its all-time high from October 2020. Three significant challenges caused that decline. First, China's antitrust regulators fined Alibaba a record amount in 2021. They barred its Chinese marketplaces (Taobao and Tmall) from locking merchants into exclusive deals, using aggressive loss-leading promotions, and expanding through unapproved investments. Those restrictions eroded its defenses against its competitors. Second, the pandemic curbed consumer spending and drove its enterprise customers to rein in their cloud spending. Lastly, the trade conflicts between the U.S. and China drove many U.S. investors away from Chinese equities. Yet Alibaba isn't down for the count. It's expanding its overseas marketplaces (including Lazada in Southeast Asia, Trendyol in Turkey, Daraz in South Asia, and AliExpress for cross-border purchases), as well a...

Key Points Oil prices have surged recently due to the war with Iran. They could continue rising if Iran successfully impedes oil exports from the Persian Gulf. While U.S. producers can ramp up their production, it will take some time. 10 stocks we like better than ConocoPhillips › Crude oil prices are soaring in the aftermath of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. Brent oil, the global benchmark price, is up more than 5% again today, and has risen roughly 15% in the past couple of days. The surge in crude prices has sent oil stocks soaring. ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) has popped nearly 8% in the past few days, while Chevron (NYSE: CVX) closed at a record high on Monday at nearly $190 per share.

Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Here are two things investors need to know about the current state of the oil sector before buying oil stocks. All eyes are currently on the Strait of Hormuz The war with Iran has massive implications for the oil sector. The Middle Eastern country is a founding member of OPEC and produces over 3 million barrels of oil per day. Additionally, roughly 20 million barrels of oil per day pass through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, about 20% of global supplies. Iran has long threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for military action against the country. While the U.S. military is working to prevent its closure, the war is having an impact on the flow of oil out of the region. Supertanker rates surged to record highs after Iran attacked several ships. Additionally, insurance companies have canceled war risk coverage. These surging costs will likely prevent companies from taking the risk of transporting oil out of the region until things calm down. If there's a prolonged period where oil doesn't freely flow out of the Persian Gulf, it could cau...

Key Points Ripple recently rebranded and is leaning into stablecoins following the launch of RLUSD. XRP's core investment thesis could be undermined by RLUSD. Ripple may thrive in 2026, but that success may not translate to gains for XRP holders. 10 stocks we like better than XRP › After rocketing to highs nearing $3.50 last year, XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) has fallen below $1.50 as Bitcoin and the broader crypto market slide. Investors may be wondering if they should jump in and buy the dip. But the current sell-off might not be the real concern for XRP holders; it's possible the dip isn't a dip at all, but a new normal. So, where might XRP be a year from now? Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » To answer that, we have to look at Ripple, the company behind the token, and its pivot toward stablecoins. Ripple is all-in on stablecoins Ripple has spent the past year and change repositioning itself as a stablecoin infrastructure company. Its website now leads with "integrate stablecoin payments into your business." It acquired stablecoin payments company Rail for $200 million. And it launched RLUSD, its own dollar-backed stablecoin, which it's aggressively pushing into the cross-border payments market. This isn't happening in a vacuum. The Genius Act provided stablecoins with real regulatory clarity, and Ripple is building to capitalize on it. RLUSD can function as a bridge asset within Ripple's cross-border payment products. That might sound tangential to what we're discussing -- XRP's value -- but it very much is not. It's critically important because XRP has always been the key bridge asset in Ripple's cross-border payment system. RLUSD's adoption cannibalizes XRP's "market share" within its own ecosystem. Why RLUSD complicates XRP's bull case XRP's investment thesis has always rested on the ide...

Eli Lilly's (LLY 0.73%) big problem is its success in the GLP-1 drug space. Its Mounjaro (for diabetes) and Zepbound (for weight loss) drugs grew sales by 99% and 175%, respectively, in 2025. That's impressive, but Wall Street is perhaps a bit too excited about the stock. Here's why you might want to forget about Eli Lilly and buy GLP-1 laggards Novo Nordisk (NVO 2.73%) and Pfizer (PFE 1.67%) instead. Eli Lilly is the victim of its own success It's hard to complain about a pharmaceutical company that has approved drugs in its portfolio that are growing as quickly as those from Eli Lilly. However, there are a few issues to consider. For starters, those levels of sales growth probably aren't sustainable over the long term. Also, Mounjaro and Zepbound basically accounted for nearly all of Lilly's 45% sales growth in 2025. The most worrying problem, however, is that these two GLP-1 weight loss drugs already account for 56% of the company's top line. When patent protections on these drugs eventually end, there's going to be a huge hole to fill. Meanwhile, Wall Street is extremely excited about the stock, bidding the shares up to the point where the dividend yield is a tiny 0.6% and the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is a lofty 44. Other GLP-1 options to consider If you have a value bias or prefer stocks with higher yields, you'll probably want to look at GLP-1 competitors Novo Nordisk and Pfizer. Novo Nordisk was the first to launch a GLP-1 drug, but lost the lead to Eli Lilly because Lilly's drugs seem to be more effective right now. That said, Novo Nordisk was recently first to market with an oral GLP-1 medication, and it continues to invest in its related offerings.

The US war in Iran hasn’t changed Brookfield Asset Management ’s plans to build data centers with the Qatar Investment Authority or curbed its appetite for investing in the Middle East, Chief Executive Officer Connor Teskey said. “When something like the past weekend happens, the focus is on our people who are safe, both at Brookfield and our portfolio companies, and then our focuses are on the assets, and those are all performing,” Teskey said in a Bloomberg Television interview Tuesday, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed on Saturday after the US and Israel launched airstrikes in Tehran. The US-Israeli war on Iran has reverberated across the region, and President Donald Trump has said the conflict could last for weeks. Amazon.com Inc.’s cloud unit has warned of prolonged disruptions to its services as the battle intensifies. Drone strikes damaged at least three of its data centers in the region in recent days. When asked if the war impacts Brookfield Asset Management’s $20 billion venture with Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund to invest in artificial-intelligence infrastructure, Teskey said that it does not affect the project and called the Middle East an “incredible” region. “We’re very long-term investors,” he said. The Middle East has “got an increasing presence on the world scene — those are the types of asset classes and geographies that we want to be investing in long term.” Read More: Missiles Seen Over Abu Dhabi Financial Hub Dent Safe Haven Image The New York-based firm is a key player in the AI buildout, which it expects requires roughly $7 trillion of capital investment over the next decade.
