JSW Infrastructure Ltd. has begun formal market of a planned share sale that could raise as much as $800 million, according to people familiar with the matter. The ports operator controlled by billionaire Sajjan Jindal is meeting investors across London, Singapore, Hong Kong and Mumbai through the first week of June, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. The company is targeting the second half of June, they said. JSW Infrastructure is working with JM Financial Ltd. , HSBC Holdings Plc , SBI Capital Markets Ltd. and Citigroup Inc. to manage the transaction, the people said. The deliberations are ongoing and details of the deal, including timing and size, could still change, the people said. Representatives for JSW Infrastructure and the banks didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The offering is expected to be among the few sizable equity deals next month in India, where markets are grappling with the economic fallout from the conflict in Iran. The tensions have pushed up oil prices, raising concerns over India’s import bill and prompting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to urge citizens to curb fuel consumption and limit foreign travel. Earlier this year, the company’s board approved plans to raise funds through multiple routes, including a qualified institutional placement, partly to comply with India’s requirement for listed firms to maintain a minimum public shareholding of 25% within three years of listing. JSW Infrastructure debuted on the stock exchanges in October 2023. Shares of JSW Infrastructure surged 121% from the IPO price of 119 rupees.

Shirtless fans cheer at MLB stadiums as "Tarps Off" trend sweeps baseball world toggle caption Chris O'Meara/AP Major League Baseball is experiencing an epidemic of (mostly) guys being dudes. At ballparks all across the country, groups consisting of mostly young men are joining in on the "Tarps Off" trend that's loud, goofy, infectious and new to the baseball world. Joining in on the fun is simple: Go to the section where the party is happening, take off your shirt and start twirling it above your head. Soccer-like chants or singing usually follow — injecting a jolt of energy for a sport that is occasionally chided for its lack of energy inside the stadium. After getting it's start in St. Louis last Friday, it has spread across the league to places like Detroit, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, Seattle and Anaheim, California. Chad Bitzer — who has been coming to Mariners games for about 13 years — was among the shirtless fans in Seattle. His reasoning was simple: "Cause everyone else was taking it off. Why not?" Sponsor Message "It's fresh. It's a beautiful night. Take it off," Bitzer said. "Great Northwest night. We live for the summers. We live for the good weather." Ground zero for the shirtless outbreak was in St. Louis last Friday, when a club baseball team affiliated with Stephen F. Austin State University was in Alton, Illinois, for the National Club Baseball Division II World Series. The Cardinals offered tickets to the team, and 17 players attended. toggle caption Jeff Roberson/AP That group started the fun, dozens of others joined and suddenly their were a couple hundred fans creating a ruckus in right field that helped propel the Cardinals to a 5-4 victory in 11 innings over the Kansas City Royals. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol loved the energy so much that he bought tickets for the shirtless revelers for Saturday's game and they returned. "It's hard not to have fun when the fans are like that," Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn said on Friday. "We've got the bes...

Europe’s first-quarter earnings season was the best one in three years, buoyed by energy majors and tech giants. The performance may be difficult to sustain as the economic outlook sours and the war persists. Per-share earnings for the MSCI Europe Index jumped 7.5% in the quarter, comfortably ahead of the 2.5% growth expected and the fastest clip since the first quarter of 2023, Bloomberg Intelligence data shows. Energy firms led the gains as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz drove up commodity prices, boosting trading operations at BP Plc , TotalEnergies SE and Equinor ASA . Earnings surged 22% in the first quarter, compared with pre-season estimates of 5.6% growth. Earnings at Shell Plc , which has the heaviest weighting in the MSCI Europe energy index, more than doubled from the prior quarter as surging oil and gas prices lifted profit to the highest level in two years, even as production declined. The technology sector also surpassed expectations, with software companies defying threats of artificial intelligence disruption to deliver better-than-expected results and semiconductor firms continuing to benefit from robust AI spending. ASML Holding NV , which makes up almost half the weighting of the MSCI Europe technology index, is expected to drive more than 50% of the earnings growth in the tech sector this year, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Laurent Douillet and Aditya Khanduja said. Aggregate earnings-per-share revisions are up since the Iran conflict began, Goldman Sachs strategists led by Peter Oppenheimer calculated, highlighting that first-quarter earnings were “positive but concentrated.” Upgrades were driven almost entirely by the energy, basic resources and chemicals sectors. Conversely, luxury firms and carmakers were particularly weak this quarter, suffering from their exposure to tariffs, Chinese competition and weaker consumer sentiment as inflation bites. This concentration of estimates upgrades in just a few sectors leaves “broader earnings mo...
Micron Stock Nears Trillion-Dollar Market Cap After 58% Surge in May 2026 Micron Technology shares closed at $725 on Friday, May 15, according to a May 20 report from Yahoo Finance.

Micron Stock Nears Trillion-Dollar Market Cap After 58% Surge in May 2026 Micron Technology shares closed at $725 on Friday, May 15, according to a May 20 report from Yahoo Finance. The stock has nearly doubled over the past month as investors recognize the company's role in the artificial intelligence semiconductor value chain. Micron's Recent Performance Over the last month, Micron stock rose from roughly $448 to a peak of $804. Although it has since pulled back from that high, the current price still represents a gain of about 58%. The company's market capitalization is now approaching the trillion-dollar mark. Several factors drove the surge. Micron reported strong results for its fiscal second quarter, which ended February 26. Revenue nearly tripled year over year to $23.9 billion, while earnings per share rose from $1.41 in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 to $12.07 this year. Valuation Considerations Despite a share price above $700, analysts note that absolute stock price does not reflect a company's earnings, cash flow, or growth. The rise in Micron's stock is attributed to increasing profitability rather than speculative activity. Wall Street expects Micron's earnings per share to be roughly $58 this year and to reach $100 by fiscal 2027. The stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of about 8, which is considered modest for a company expected to nearly double its earnings over the next two years. Memory scarcity has become a significant bottleneck, and the forward P/E suggests the stock is discounted relative to the secular trends driving accelerated AI infrastructure investments.

UK Schools Push Radical Race Doctrine On Kids, Claiming Black People 'Cannot Be Racist' Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Schools in the north of England are teaching pupils that black people cannot be racist towards white people. According to materials adopted by a group of Sheffield schools, led by Notre Dame High School, teenagers are explicitly told: “Black people can be racially prejudiced towards a white person which is wrong and totally unacceptable. However, this is not racism. Racism is racial prejudice plus power. In the UK, white people hold the cultural power.” For children as young as 7, lessons focus on “empathy building” around “privilege,” asserting that white people are “likely to be privileged by the colour of their skin” and have a “responsibility” to reduce racism by monitoring their language, challenging friends, and reporting incidents. Pupils told it's impossible for black people to be 'racist' to white peers https://t.co/hE74ZXEs2z — Daily Mail (@DailyMail) May 18, 2026 Handouts for older pupils push narratives on criminal justice, claiming black people are disproportionately targeted by police due to racism, with questions guiding students toward that conclusion. The scheme aims to “interrupt systemic racism” and promote “strong social justice values,” according to its creators. Shadow Education Secretary Laura Trott slammed the materials, noting “It is deeply alarming that children as young as seven are being exposed to divisive identity politics in schools under the banner of ‘anti-racism education’… Labelling children by race and teaching them to focus on what divides them will only foster resentment and deepen division.” Shadow minister Neil O’Brien called it “political indoctrination” and vowed to tackle such content. These latest examples highlight a disturbing pattern in UK education: grooming children with critical race theory concepts, framing whiteness as inherently privileged and problematic, while shielding certain gro...
