jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images In January this year, I issued a buy rating for Verizon's ( VZ ) stock, due to strong financial performance and an apparent undervaluation based on its dividends. Since then, VZ's price climbed significantly and by now reached $50 per share, which was my estimated fair value at that time, based on a dividend discount model. At this point, I no longer think that it is attractive to start a new position or to add to an existing one, and I believe a hold rating is more warranted. Despite reporting strong Q4 earnings , I believe that the increased debt YoY and the uncertain interest rate environment warrant caution. Analysis history (Author) Update on the business I believe that Verizon's business remains attractive fundamentally, especially during times of significant market volatility. In the most recent quarter, the firm also impressed with its earnings and subscriber growth figures. Here are a couple of key figures that investors should keep in mind and monitor looking forward. Total postpaid phone net additions in Q4 reached 616,000, making it the strongest quarter of additions since 2019. Revenue grew in the wireless segment, both for equipment and for services. They also managed to add as many as 372,000 broadband customers. All this means that the demand for the firm's services remains strong. Operating metrics (Verizon) Looking forward, Verizon has ambitious plans. First of all, significant cost reduction is foreseen after the Frontier acquisition. Operating cost synergies are expected to reach $1 billion by 2028, and an operational turnaround, which includes a workforce reduction, could lead to $5 billion in cost savings annually. These are significant numbers on the cost side, and I am excited to see how it will play out over the coming years. I do have a positive view on these ambitions, however. It is not only the cost side of things that is appealing. Total retail postpaid phone net additions are expected to i...

Unintended consequences, especially in business, can be painful lessons to learn. A recent unrelated example was Major League Baseball introducing a pitch clock to improve the speed of the game -- it worked well and improved the game, by most accounts.

Unintended consequences, especially in business, can be painful lessons to learn. A recent unrelated example was Major League Baseball introducing a pitch clock to improve the speed of the game -- it worked well and improved the game, by most accounts. However, the reduced overall game time and the shorter downtime gave fans less time to buy valuable products such as beer, food, and novelties, which is a big moneymaker. Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) could find itself looking at unintended consequences as it begins its radical production change. More than a century after Ford pioneered the moving assembly line, current CEO Jim Farley thinks the automaker has yet again found a better way of making vehicles. While Ford's Universal EV Production System, and its developing "assembly tree" process, isn't the first time the process has been considered -- Tesla touted a similar thought process years ago -- it has the potential to accelerate Ford into the front of the pack in the race against Chinese competitors for cheaper vehicles and more efficient manufacturing. "It gets Ford into the game," Sam Abuelsamid, vice president of market research at Telemetry, told Automotive News . "I'm not aware of any other legacy automaker that is going down this path to this degree yet -- certainly not GM and Stellantis . If they execute this properly, they're back among the leading pack."

This is simply some deliciously spicy, baked grated potatoes, with an egg on top and a moreish chutney to go with it – you can thank us later Eggs are very Easter-appropriate, and some of my favourite egg recipes come from the egg-obsessed Parsis (descendants of Persian Zoroastrians, who emigrated to India thousands of years ago). Their obsession extends beyond the kitchen, too: achoo-meechoo , for example, is a custom where an egg is waved around a person’s head (six times clockwise, once anti-clockwise), then broken to ward off evil. When it comes to cooking, meanwhile, Parsis will put an egg on anything, and one favourite dish is kanda papeta par eeda , or eggs on potatoes, which I ate when staying with friends in Mumbai’s Malabar Hill and which inspired today’s recipe.

Decision to choose small, wealthy – but very Catholic – state for first European trip has baffled some Vatican observers Pope Leo will travel to Monaco, the semi-enclave famous for casinos and superyachts, on Saturday on his first European trip since being elected pontiff, causing bemusement among some Vatican observers, not least because it comes 488 years after the last papal visit. Leo will travel from the Vatican by helicopter for the one-day trip, and will be greeted at Monaco’s heliport by Prince Albert and his wife, Princess Charlene, before being taken to the palace, which has been the residence of the Grimaldi dynasty since the 13th century. It is the first time a pontiff has visited Monaco since Pope Paul III in 1538. Continue reading...

The Swedish musician decided to pursue motherhood alone, and found it came with a surprising sexual awakening – a story she lays out on her new album, her first in eight years Robyn sits silently, eyes closed, for what feels like a full minute. “Wow,” she says. “This is really deep” It has been eight years since this elder stateswoman of alt-pop released music. She is talking about how, since then, her life has fractured and reassembled. The 46-year-old Swede’s previous album, Honey, was finished in the afterglow of repairing her engagement to director Max Vitali. Now, she’s no longer in that relationship, she’s raising a three-year-old son, Tyko, whom she had by IVF, on her own, and she has also reckoned with the scars of her own childhood, growing up in an exploitative music industry. We meet in a breezy attic above a recording studio in London to talk about her new album, Sexistential – an ode to letting your guard down and feeling things deeply. “Defending my right to be myself and be vulnerable,” she says. She’s wearing biker boots and a mesh hoodie, and has tucked a bomber jacket, two overflowing handbags and a black leather sailor hat into the nooks and crannies of the sofa as if constructing a nest around herself. She’s thrilled to be back. “I’ve never released an album as a parent , so it’s really exciting to work .” She laughs, flashing a chipped tooth. “When I do get time for myself, it’s liberating and fun.” Continue reading...

University’s botanic garden will use study materials created by John Stevens Henslow, the naturalist’s mentor, 200 years ago Plant specimens and teaching materials that inspired Charles Darwin and qualified him to work as a naturalist on HMS Beagle have been unearthed from an archive in Cambridge and will be used for the first time to teach contemporary students about botany. The fragile specimens, ink drawings and watercolour illustrations of plants belonged to Darwin’s teacher and mentor, Prof John Stevens Henslow, and have been stored in Cambridge University’s herbarium for nearly 200 years.

Ruling that Meta and YouTube deliberately designed addictive products marks possible watershed moment for social media The young woman at the heart of what has been called the tech industry’s “big tobacco” moment was on YouTube at six and Instagram by nine.

Ruling that Meta and YouTube deliberately designed addictive products marks possible watershed moment for social media The young woman at the heart of what has been called the tech industry’s “big tobacco” moment was on YouTube at six and Instagram by nine. More than a decade later, she says, she still can’t live without the social media she became addicted to. “I can’t, it’s too hard to be without it,” Kaley, now 20, told a jury at Los Angeles’ superior court. This week, five men and seven women handed down a verdict on the design of two of the world’s most popular apps that vindicated Kaley’s position. Continue reading...

There’s a system that creates and condones these toxic restaurant environments – and too often it’s rewarded by institutions such as Michelin Lauren Joseph is a writer and chef The fine-dining world has been closely watching the fallout at Noma since chefs spoke out about the physical violence and emotional abuse that the head chef, René Redzepi, subjected them to at his Copenhagen restaurant. There were protests in Los Angeles before a four-month pop-up of the restaurant opened there this month, and Redzepi, in an Instagram video in which he failed to fully assign himself blame (“I’m sorry everyone is in this situation,” he begins), then announced that he has stepped away from the business. The LA pop-up, however, remains and the question lingers: will this be the reckoning an ultra-pressured group of restaurants has long avoided? It depends on whether we allow ourselves to be distracted by Redzepi and what comes next. I hope every chef who was allegedly intimidated, punched and threatened gets the reparations they seek. Then the story should move on. No waiting for the public redemption arc – but also, no useless vilifying of this man, whose past transgressions have previously been accepted. Lauren Joseph is a writer and chef Continue reading...
