Uber Technologies Inc. is backing three different candidates in the race for governor of California, hedging its political bets on a state that’s a bellwether for policy and technology shifts. The ride-sharing giant donated millions of dollars in the past week, filings show, contributing to the campaigns of Democratic rivals Eric Swalwell and Katie Porter as well as Republican Steve Hilton. Swalwell, a fierce critic of President Donald Trump in Congress, got the bulk of the funds, with a $2 million contribution to a political action fund backing his campaign. Porter, a former member of Congress from Southern California, received a $150,000 donation. Hilton, a former Fox News contributor married to Uber’s former senior vice president of communications, Rachel Whetstone , got $39,200. The donations mark the first time San Francisco-based Uber has contributed to a governor’s election in its home state, with some of the funds coming from the company directly and others from its political action committees. “As a California-based company, we’re engaged in this race because Uber has an outsized stake in what happens here,” said Ramona Prieto, Uber’s head of public policy in the Western US. “We’re backing pragmatic candidates committed to keeping our state innovative, competitive and affordable for working families.” Last year, Uber backed both Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill in the New Jersey gubernatorial race, which Sherrill ultimately won. The company said its donations across parties reflect an intention to remain bipartisan. Uber’s California donations underscore the unpredictability of the contest to run the most populous state in the US. A crowded field of candidates — including multiple veteran politicians, a sheriff, a Silicon Valley mayor and a liberal billionaire — are fighting for the top two spots in the June primary. The winners then advance to a November runoff regardless of party affiliation, leaving open the possibility of a Democr...

winhorse/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Vinci SA ( VCISY ) ( VCISF ) is a marquee infrastructure play. There are a few definitely positive angles. The concession businesses continue to perform well, and they have some nice particular drivers, for example, from their Narita Airport concession in Japan indexing them to a forceful tourism trend there, continuing trends from our previous coverage . There is a tailwind of building out infrastructure for electrification, which is supporting their energy business. The performance has been good. But we do note that in the attractive infrastructure and concession panorama in public markets, there may be cheaper comps that may be more tactical than Vinci at significantly higher FCFYs. Just one is enough for us to take a step back, particularly with passenger and mobility volumes perhaps hit by the energy crisis. Results EBITDA Evolution (FY Press) The most going on is in the energy businesses in terms of revenue and EBITDA growth, where delivery of electrification infrastructure is resulting in pretty solid gains. While we aren't so convinced by the sink of offshore wind projects , a mode of energy production we don't think is financially tenable to develop without significant subsidy support, electrification remains a solid secular trend for the businesses. Margins are expanding in the Energies business. While organic growth was strong, acquisitions continue to make more robust the Vinci internationalization strategy. Revenue evolutions (FY Press) In the airport businesses, we are seeing solid growth from Japan most notably, which is not a surprise given the strong trends in inbound tourism in Japan, particularly with the weak Yen ( JPY:USD ) attracting global travel. Underlying traffic growth remains strong at 5% growth for the FY. Budapest is also performing well as a major Eastern capital, also with positive FX-based tourism drivers with a weaker Forint these last few years. Logistical investments in the utilization o...

Circle Plunges Most Ever On Stablecoin Legislation, As Tether Prepares Full Audit Circle Internet Group, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, plunged the most on record as investors reacted to potential stablecoin regulation changes that could make the firm’s cryptocurrency less attractive to large holders, as it would be stripped of interest payments. Concerns that a competitor is readying a move into the US market also hurt Circle’s share price. The stock declined as much as 22%, its steepest intraday drop ever, and leading losses across crypto-linked equities. Coinbase fell as much as 11%, while MARA Holdings, Bullish, Galaxy Digital Holdings and Robinhood Markets also moved lower. Bitcoin also dropped as much as 2.8% to $68,906.31, breaking below $70,000 after rising above it yesterday. Circle’s decline comes as investors grappled with the implications on the economics of stablecoins of proposed US legislation. Draft language of the so-called Clarity Act could prevent exchanges like Coinbase from offering rewards on holdings of stablecoins such as USDC, Circle’s US dollar-pegged token. While the Clarity Act seeks to establish a comprehensive regulatory regime for cryptocurrencies and other forms of tokens, the proposed legislation has faced delays largely due to disagreements between the crypto industry and the banking sector over whether stablecoins can offer rewards similar to interest rates on bank accounts. The proposed changes to the Clarity Act circulating in Washington could reduce incentives for holders to maintain balances in tokens rather than bank deposits, said analysts. “We believe it is almost entirely related to the Clarity Act language out today,” John Todaro, an analyst at Needham & Co. said. His firm expects that if the draft language is adopted, it would curtail Coinbase’s program offering certain customers 3.5% rewards on their USDC balances. Meanwhile, competition among stablecoin issuers is drawing renewed attention. On Tuesday, Tether said i...

( PXLW ) will have roughly $58 million of net cash. On a per-share basis, this translates to approximately $9.12 per share in net cash. As of Monday, March 23, 2026, the share of PXLW closed at $5.18 per share. Outside of an early-stage biotech company with a huge projected cash burn schedule required to fund its various upcoming clinical trials, I can't readily recall a publicly traded company trading at nearly a $4 per share (or a 43% discount per share to net cash) discount to its net cash balance. Please note, on March 12, 2026, fellow SA Contributor MedTechBio wrote a piece titled: Pixelworks' Shanghai Cash Boost: Fuel For A TrueCut Royalty Machine , which contains some background information on the company and more information on its TrueCut Motion software. The Reason the Opportunity Exists is Twofold: 1) This management team appears to have a potential Principal Agent problem. Post the sale of its Shanghai Semiconductor facility , which was completed in early January 2026, the company has pivoted to an IP licensing model led by its TrueCut Motion software. The issue is that the TTM revenue, as of 12/31/25, for its entire IP licensing portfolio is less than $1 million. Moreover, on the company's Q4 FY 2025 conference call, which took place on March 12, 2026, during the analyst Q&A section, management was a bit unclear and didn't really quantify its going-forward business plan and precisely how it will quickly ramp up the revenue of this IP licensing business. When I synthesize what management said, it appears that PXLW gives Hollywood creators access to its software, including full licensing in the production of a box office film, but on a subsidized basis. The idea is to generate buzz and excitement within the content creator ecosystem as a superior technology, ...

Suphanat Khumsap Iran informed members of the International Maritime Organization that vessels deemed “non-hostile” may be allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, provided they coordinate directly with Iranian authorities, the Financial Times reported Tuesday. In a letter circulated Tuesday among IMO member states, Tehran’s foreign ministry said it had implemented what it described as “necessary and proportionate” actions to prevent adversaries from using the strategic waterway to support operations against Iran. The strait, a vital artery for global energy and trade flows, has effectively been shut down since the outbreak of hostilities between the United States, Israel and Iran on February 28. Prior to the conflict, roughly 20% of the world’s oil shipments moved through the narrow channel, along with the bulk of maritime trade serving Gulf nations. The disruption has left an estimated 3,200 vessels stranded in the Gulf, many unwilling to attempt the passage. The strait narrows to just 21 nautical miles at its tightest point, heightening the risk of confrontation. Since fighting began, at least 22 ships have reportedly been struck by Iranian forces. The IMO, the United Nations agency responsible for maritime safety standards, held an emergency session last week to address the escalating situation. Officials are now exploring the creation of a humanitarian corridor that would allow ships facing critical shortages of fuel or supplies to leave the region safely. Recent tracking data indicates that Iran has begun allowing a limited number of ships to transit via a route within its territorial waters. Analysts say this path likely enables Iranian authorities to inspect and confirm vessel identities before granting passage. Meanwhile, some ship operators have reportedly paid up to $2 million to secure safe transit through the Gulf, according to maritime intelligence firm Lloyd’s List Intelligence and individuals familiar with the matter. The situation has prompted ...

The Federal Communications Commission yesterday announced it will no longer approve consumer-grade routers made outside of the US, citing a President Trump directive on reducing the use of foreign technology for national security reasons. The action will prevent foreign-made routers from being imported into or sold in the US. Routers already approved for sale in the US can continue to be sold, and consumers can keep using any router they've previously obtained, the FCC said. But the FCC will not approve new device models made at least partly outside the US unless the Department of Defense or Department of Homeland Security determines that the router does not pose national security risks. The prohibition applies to both US and foreign companies that produce routers outside the US. Foreign production includes "any major stage of the process through which the device is made, including manufacturing, assembly, design, and development." Read full article Comments

Earnings Call Insights: Achieve Life Sciences (ACHV) Q4 2025 Management View Richard A. Stewart, President, CEO & Executive Director, emphasized the company's transition from a clinical-stage to a commercially focused enterprise following the NDA submission in June 2025, stating, "Our primary objective now is to make cytisinicline available to the 25 million patients who smoke and nearly 18 million who vape." He highlighted the FDA acceptance of the NDA for smoking cessation and receipt of the Commissioner's National Priority Voucher for the vaping indication, providing an accelerated pathway to potential first-in-class approval for vaping cessation. Stewart reported progress on regulatory milestones, including the completion of the ORCA-OL long-term exposure trial, which "underlined cytisinicline safety profile, demonstrating strong tolerability and excellent patient satisfaction data." He also announced the selection of Adare Pharma Solutions as the U.S.-based manufacturer for cytisinicline and initiation of technology transfer, describing it as a move to "increase confidence in our supply-chain security as we advance towards a planned commercial launch of cytisinicline expected in the first half of 2027." Mark Rubinstein, Chief Medical Officer, noted, "2025 has strengthened our clinical and regulatory position significantly. We're advancing through the FDA's review process with an active dialogue with the agency." Jaime Xinos, Chief Commercial Officer, detailed the company's data-driven commercial infrastructure, prioritizing "availability, access, and awareness," and highlighted advanced analytics, AI tools, and a partnership with Omnicom to expedite marketing material development. She stated, "Every initiative is data-driven, and every decision is tied to measurable impact with the goal of making cytisinicline accessible to the millions of Americans struggling with nicotine dependence." Mark Oki, Chief Financial Officer, reported, "As of December 31, 2025, cash...
