imaginima/iStock via Getty Images Prysmian's Success Explained For a year and a half, I have been pounding the table about Prysmian ( PRYMY , PRYMF ), pointing out that it was one of the top beneficiaries of the AI buildout. In fact, it is the largest manufacturer of electrical cables in the world, and it is specifically focused on designing, producing, and installing submarine cables for power transmission and distribution. The company operates across four different business units: Transmission (submarine and land high-voltage cables and offshore wind); Power Grid (high-voltage alternating current cables, grid monitoring); Electrification (Prysmian's largest revenue segment, comprising the Industrial and Construction subsegment—low- and medium-voltage cables for industrial facilities and data centers - subsegment and the Specialties one - cables for EV and ICE vehicles); and Digital Solutions (fiber optics). In total, the company's revenues are around EUR 20B. Moreover, Prysmian has several production facilities around the globe, and it is shielded from import tariffs thanks to its Encore Wire acquisition. When Iran threatened to attack subsea cables that pass through the Strait of Hormuz, many of us understood that Hormuz is also a digital chokepoint. No wonder Prysmian was up on that day. However, Prysmian has not simply ridden the capex wave; it has also been able to outgrow its competitors. In the last Capital Markets Day, Prysmian highlighted how its EBITDA is now 3X that of its nearest competitor, Nexans, while at Prysmian's IPO in 2007, they were more or less even. The main advantage is that Prysmian owns a fleet that no competitor can match (it owns the largest and most advanced fleet for extended subsea cable installation). Since building new cable laying vessels requires time, Prysmian is years ahead of the competition and is set to benefit from the AI buildout as it can flex pricing power as demand for high-voltage cables and fiber optics is skyrocketing...

In this article GOOGL META Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Google CEO Sundar Pichai, arrives for a US Senate bipartisan Artificial Intelligence (AI) Insight Forum at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on September 13, 2023. Nathan Howard | Getty Images Alphabet 's stock surged more than 5% on Thursday, while Meta shares plunged 10%, as investors digested first-quarter earnings results, which included plans to up the ante on artificial intelligence spending. It is pacing to be Meta's worst day since October 2025 and Alphabet's best day since November 2025. The diverging stock moves show that Wall Street isn't guaranteed to applaud every tech company's AI spending spree . "The market was less united on what to make of the spending plans, with investors still trying to balance the scale of the AI opportunity against the cash required to chase it," Matt Britzman, an analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, wrote in a Thursday research note. "But the bigger takeaway is that this cycle is nowhere near cooling." Alphabet topped analysts' estimates for first-quarter revenue, helped by its booming Google Cloud business, which recorded a 63% increase in revenue from a year ago. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said cloud growth was driven by demand for its enterprise AI solutions. The company revised its capital expenditure forecast this year to between $180 billion and $190 billion, up from its previous estimate of $175 billion to $185 billion. Meta surpassed Wall Street's expectations for earnings and revenue in the first quarter, though its daily active people, or DAP, were dragged down quarter over quarter by "internet disruptions in Iran." The company increased its capex plans for the year to a range of $125 billion and $145 billion, compared to its prior range of $115 billion to $135 billion, a move the company said, "reflects our expectations for higher component pricing this year, and to a lesser extent, additional data center costs to support future year capacity."

da-kuk Sprouts Farmers Market ( SFM ) shot up in Thursday morning trading after narrowly beating estimates with its Q1 earnings report. Total sales were up 4.0% to $2.3B despite a comparable store sales decline of 1.7%. The company opened 6 new stores in Q1 to end the quarter with a store count of 483. On the balance sheet, Sprouts Farmers Market ( SFM ) ended the quarter with $252M in cash and a zero balance on its $600M revolving credit facility. Looking ahead, CEO Jack Sinclair said the company will continue to focus on accelerating customer engagement, foraging and discovery, building an advantaged supply chain, and expanding access to healthy food. "We remain confident in our long-term potential and expect sequential improvement in the business throughout 2026 as we reaccelerate growth," he noted. The grocery store operator guided for FY26 revenue of $9.16B to $9.38B (midpoint $9.27) vs. $9.49B and sees EPS of $5.32 to $5.48 (midpoint $5.40) vs. $5.54 consensus. Weighing in on the report, RBC Capital Markets analyst Steven Shemesh highlighted that trends now seem stable for Sprouts Farmers Market ( SFM ), which he thinks means some of management's traffic-driving efforts are taking hold and opens the door to positive comparable sales in the second half of the year. "Sentiment on the name has already started to improve, and we'd expect that to continue if trends sequentially improve throughout the year," advised Shemesh. Shares of Sprouts Farmers Market ( SFM ) were up 15.9% to $82.45 at 10:20 a.m. vs. the 52-week trading range of $64.75 to $182.00. Short interest on SFM stands at 10.9% of the total float.

Several times in the last couple of decades, Microsoft has released source code for the original MS-DOS operating system that kicked off its decades-long dominance of consumer PCs. This week, the company has reached further back than ever , releasing "the earliest DOS source code discovered to date" along with other documentation and notes from its developer. Today's source release is so old that it predates the MS-DOS branding, and it includes "sources to the 86-DOS 1.00 kernel, several development snapshots of the PC-DOS 1.00 kernel, and some well-known utilities such as CHKDSK ," write Microsoft's Stacey Haffner and Scott Hanselman in their co-authored post about the release. To understand the context, here's a very brief history of what would become MS-DOS: Programmer Tim Paterson originally created 86-DOS (previously known as QDOS, for "quick and dirty operating system") for an Intel 8086-based computer kit sold by Seattle Computer Products. Microsoft, on the hook to provide an operating system for the still-in-development IBM PC 5150 , licensed 86-DOS and hired Paterson to continue developing it, later buying the rights to 86-DOS outright. Microsoft then licensed this operating system to IBM as PC-DOS while retaining the ability to sell the operating system to other companies. The version sold by Microsoft was called MS-DOS, and the proliferation of third-party IBM PC clones over the '80s and '90s made it the version of the operating system that most people ended up using.

Senator Finds More Evidence Federal Officials Evaded FOIA Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), A U.S. senator and his team say they have uncovered additional evidence that federal officials worked to evade requests made under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) speaks during an interview with The Epoch Times at his office in the Hart Senate office building in Washington on March 21, 2024. Madalina Vasiliu/The Epoch Times Several emails obtained by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) showed personnel with the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were aware of FOIA requests and sought to evade them. FOIA enables people to request records from the government. It requires officials to retain and produce requested records, subject to certain exemptions. In a Nov. 26, 2022, missive, Allison Lale, a medical officer with the CDC, asked a colleague about receiving safety analyses of COVID-19 vaccination from the FDA. Pedro Moro, a CDC epidemiologist, responded. “ I think that because of the FOIAs we may have asked FDA to stop sending these weekly data mining outputs ,” Moro wrote. “Oh interesting,” Lale said. She added that during calls for a CDC-managed program, “we used to just verbally mention ” that certain terms had not triggered safety signals, or signs vaccines were causing problems. “ But we could also leave it out if that [sic] this creates more hassle ,” she added. In a separate email chain, FDA officials were told by an FDA vaccine safety analytic expert, Dr. Ana Szarfman, that the approach they were using to analyze the safety of COVID-19 vaccines was faulty. The information sparked a long discussion, during which officials considered asking the expert to contact an outside expert on the matter. “Before we potentially reach out to Ana, we should meet internally - many considerations not suited to emai l...” David Menschik, an FDA official who distributed the data mining repo...

So far in 2026, there has been increasing interest in international and emerging-market stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). According to research from Bank of America earlier this year, four times more money is flowing into international stocks than U.S. stocks. There are several reasons, but mainly it is a sign of investors diversifying away from U.S. equities, mainly large-cap stocks, which have generally become overvalued after a three-year bull market. Also, international and emerging market stocks are benefiting from a weaker dollar, favorable monetary policy, and a surge in infrastructure investments, as well as the broadening artificial intelligence (AI) boom, among other reasons.

Mexico’s Grupo Financiero Banamex is tapping global markets for the first time since Citigroup Inc. started offloading its stake in the bank. Initial price talk on the dollar notes set to mature in 2036 is in the 7% area, according to a person familiar with the matter. The notes have a call option after five years. The deal is expected to price Thursday. “Banamex’s re-emergence as a domestically controlled player positions it well to recapture market share in a market that continues to reward strong local brands,” said Roger Horn , a senior EM credit strategist at Mariva Capital Markets. Banamex has undergone huge shifts in the last year. Citi completed the sale of 22.6% of the bank to several institutional investors and family offices this week . In December, it sold 25% to Mexican billionaire Fernando Chico Pardo. It retains about half of the company. New Banamex Tier 2 a Step to Citi Deconsolidation: Credit React Moody’s Ratings, which rates the debt at Baa2, two notches above junk, said it could downgrade the bank’s subordinate debt as Citi’s support for Banamex declines. “The likelihood of our assuming financial support in times of stress will diminish—particularly once Citigroup becomes a minority shareholder, a key milestone,” analysts Felipe Carvallo and Ceres Lisboa wrote this week. Citigroup is global coordinator and active bookrunner, while BTG Pactual, Credit Agricole and Societe Generale are also bookrunners.
