Consumer Floral & Gifts revenues declined 18.7%, while Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets revenues were essentially flat, benefitting from the timing of Easter. Performance in the Consumer Floral & Gifts segment reflects the more pronounced impact of prior-year inefficient marketing spend, along with ongoing changes in search engine results pages and pressure on direct traffic.

DeepL , the German startup building translation tools, announced plans to cut approximately 25% of its workforce, a move its Chief Executive Officer Jarek Kutylowski attributed to the “massive structural shift” from artificial intelligence. About 250 employees will be cut, subject to legal processes, Kutylowski said in a post on LinkedIn on Thursday. The company, which makes AI software for translations in multiple languages, has slightly more than 1,000 employees. Adapting the company to work effectively with AI “means fewer layers, faster decisions and far less time spent on the back and forth that slows large teams down,” he said. Job cuts across the technology industry are surging as AI tools replace work traditionally done by programmers and as the companies redirect resources to building out their own AI products. Meta Platforms Inc. announced plans to cut 10% of its workers last month. Microsoft Corp. is offering about 7% of its US workforce buyouts. Cologne-based DeepL, founded in 2017 as a rival to Google Translate, offers tools that let developers build applications in multiple languages. More recently it’s had to compete with translation services offered by ChatGPT and other AI tools. DeepL raised $300 million at a valuation of $2 billion in 2024 and has weighed an initial public offering in the US.
Investors should buy shares of Alcoa as aluminum prices continue to climb, according to Wells Fargo. Analyst Timna Tanners upgraded the aluminum miner and smelter to overweight from equal weight. Her price target of $70, up from $67, implies upside of 10.7% from Wednesday's close. Alcoa shares have outperformed in 2026, soaring 19%. That's well above the S & P 500's 7.6% advance in that time.

Investors should buy shares of Alcoa as aluminum prices continue to climb, according to Wells Fargo. Analyst Timna Tanners upgraded the aluminum miner and smelter to overweight from equal weight. Her price target of $70, up from $67, implies upside of 10.7% from Wednesday's close. Alcoa shares have outperformed in 2026, soaring 19%. That's well above the S & P 500's 7.6% advance in that time. However, Tanners thinks the strength in the aluminum market is being "underappreciated" by investors. AA YTD mountain AA in 2026 "Our upgrade reflects conviction of sticky aluminum price strength that can exceed our forecasts. We also see catalysts from monetizing idled assets for data center conversion, as mgmt has noted several deals in the works, plus capital deployment news from strong profits," she wrote to clients. Aluminum futures are up more than 15.5% year to date and have soared more than 50% over the past 12 months. Gains have been exacerbated by the U.S.-Iran war putting upward pressure on prices and demand. "Our Overweight rating reflects a view aluminum price strength can persist well into 2027E on limited global capacity additions and low global inventories," Tanners said. The analyst added that a potential divestiture of Alcoa's Massena East site may give shares a boost as well. Analysts are somewhat split on the stock. LSEG data shows that eight analysts covering Alcoa rate it as a buy or strong buy. However, the remaining seven assigned hold or underperform ratings on shares.

BCE Inc. beat analyst expectations in the first quarter as its investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure pay off. Canada’s biggest telecommunications firm by revenue earned 63 Canadian cents per share on an adjusted basis, more than the 58 cents expected by analysts in a Bloomberg survey, according to a Thursday statement . Net earnings fell to C$667 million ($489 million) from C$683 million a year before. Revenue was C$6.2 billion, 4% higher than last year and more than estimates. “We’ve been making progress on our capital allocation and capital investment plans to simplify the business, strengthen the balance sheet and focus capital on higher-return opportunities,” Chief Executive Officer Mirko Bibic said in the statement. The firm disclosed revenue from its business markets division for the first time, which grew 9.7%, primarily driven by triple-digit gains in its AI businesses. BCE’s Bell AI Fabric network aims to provide computing power of 800 megawatts over time, and the company partnered with AI firms CoreWeave Inc. and Cerebras Systems Inc. in March to back a data center in Saskatchewan. It expects to complete the first phase in 2027. At the time, the company said revenue from “AI-powered solutions” is expected to rise by C$500 million, to C$2 billion, by 2028.

Hello and welcome to the newsletter, a grab bag of daily content from the Odd Lots universe. Sometimes it’s us, Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway, bringing you our thoughts on the most recent developments in markets, finance and the economy. And sometimes it’s contributions from our network of expert guests and sources. Whatever it is, we promise it will always be interesting. If you like chatting with us, check out the Odd Lots Discord , where you can hang out and talk with us and with other listeners 24/7. What Joe is thinking about today Tracy and I are in London right now for our first live Odd Lots show here . It should be a fun night talking about everything from the business of pubs to commodities to the art of short-selling. The show’s sold out, but there are still some tickets available for our next live event in New York City on May 28 . We have some great guests that will be announced soon, so you should grab your tickets now . Now we didn’t actually plan our visit around this, but today also happens to be local elections in Britain, with thousands of council seats up for grabs across England, Scotland and Wales. There’s a great explainer here about how it all works, and what’s at stake. Now I would say typically council elections here (or really anywhere to be honest) are not high on the list of things that markets pay close attention to. Because again, it’s council elections, and not a vote that will decide control of Parliament. But I don’t think it’s a stretch at all to say that this time could be different. This time the world has good reason to take notice. A big meta-phenomenon around much of the world (particularly the Western developed world) is that the public almost always immediately dislikes anyone who takes power. The current UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is remarkably unpopular. But generally speaking, even with the unpopularity of elected officials, legacy political parties still do decently. (In the US it’s structurally impossible for thi...

Abstract Aerial Art/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investment thesis Peabody Energy's ( BTU ) share price is down about 30% from recent highs reached at the end of March. The prevailing factor that has this stock struggling this year, in my view, is the US natural gas price, which continues to buck the trend during the currently unfolding global energy crisis. US natural gas prices have moderately declined since the Iran war started. Natural gas & coal are interchangeable inputs in the power-generating sector, with natural gas often a preferred choice when price is not an issue since it is cleaner-burning. Given factors such as rising LNG export capacity that will increasingly tie the US natural gas market to the global market and a possible stagnation in US natural gas output, I see the recent share price selloff in this company as a buying opportunity. I initiated a small position, cautiously, with the intent to continue buying incrementally if it declines further from here. The latest quarterly report has me approaching it with a bit of extra caution. Going from a hold to a buy The last time I covered Peabody, it was the middle of February, before the Iran conflict started. The ongoing event changed some of the global energy dynamics that prevailed before the current situation. I highlighted back then some of the market fundamentals, as well as related company specifics that made it on my watchlist as a potential investment opportunity. Its share price was about 20% higher when I wrote that article, which was one of the main considerations that I cited as making it a hold instead of a buy. With the share price pullback, complemented by improving longer-term external fundamentals, I now see it as a buying opportunity, with an intent to continue adding to my position if its share price declines from here. Peabody's latest results at a glance For the first quarter of this year, Peabody achieved mixed results. Revenues came in at $973 million, which beat estimates by...
