“在线等，戒奶茶的人可以喝香飘飘吗？” 如果不是亲眼看到，你恐怕难以相信这是最近社交媒体上的帖子。 没错，童年记忆里那个一直在绕地球的冲泡奶茶品牌——香飘飘，确实还有人喝。尽管近几年它出现在公众视野中的次数不多，并且常常伴随着“亏损”“过气”之类的关键词， 但有些反直觉的是，香飘飘还没彻底沦为“时代的眼泪”。 香飘飘还没被年轻人彻底遗忘。（图/社交平台截图） 4月29日，香飘飘同步发布了2025年全年和2026年第一季度的财报，这份喜忧参半的数据，恰如其分地映照了香飘飘如今的处境。 2025年，香飘飘营收29.26亿元，同比下降11%，归母净利润为‌9524.16万元，同比大幅下滑62.38%。这是香飘飘自2017年上市以来，首次出现营收和利润均呈双位数下滑，也是其2012年以来净利润首次低于1亿元。 但紧接着就是反转，2026年第一季度不仅同比扭亏为盈，而且单季度归母净利润为9338.93万元，几乎赶上了公司去年一整年的利润。 事实上，香飘飘引人关注的从来不只是“数据波动”，作为冲泡奶茶第一股，它的一举一动都有着某种行业变迁象征意义—— 当香飘飘都支起快闪摊位、开出线下门店、安排帅哥店长，它想用纸杯盛满的，当然不只是怀旧情怀。 作为香飘飘营收支柱的冲泡业务，被现制奶茶和外卖大战按在地上摩擦。公司寄予厚望的即饮业务，也在一片红海中挣扎。在外界看来，香飘飘即便能够咬牙支撑，似乎也难以挽回衰退的大势。如今的香飘飘，还能怎么逆天改命？ 一直在折腾，依然待翻身 品牌老化是所有经典国货都必须面对的问题，但香飘飘显然有一颗不服老的心，每隔一段时间就整点花活。 2024年底，香飘飘在杭州开设快闪店，请出高颜值网红担任店员，借助“买奶茶可以和帅哥互动合照”实现了一次出圈。不过，冲着噱头来的消费者，多多少少都有些失望： 店里卖的并非现制茶饮，店员的工作只是倒开水帮你冲泡奶茶粉。 这般复古模式，倒是让人梦回当年《一起来看流星雨》楚雨荨家开的奶茶店——唯一的区别是，现实中大概很少有人愿意为了一杯奶茶粉冲泡的饮料排两小时队，所以它终究只能是快闪店。 用粉冲泡的奶茶，已经是古早的存在。（图/《一起来看流星雨》） 2025年9月，香飘飘官方账号突然发布“紧急公告”，称“香飘飘暂停绕地球”。评论区的网友们纷纷猜测品牌是不是销量崩盘了，等来的结果却是官方在搞抽象。几小时后，香飘飘公布“暂停绕地球”...

When Rachel Reeves became chancellor in 2024, she said it felt like “smashing one of the last glass ceilings in politics”. But the presence in her office toilet at the Treasury of a urinal, thought to have been used by Winston Churchill, proved that there are some obstacles that can’t be overturned. Reeves would just have to tolerate this symbol that puts the “pee” in patriarchy. For Churchill’s Urinal, writer and actor Rosie Holt takes a frenzied approach to the problem. Her sustained mania, familiar from her viral pandemic videos as a Tory backbencher, suggests a one-person Thick of It, though there are occasional interjections from Michael Lambourne as the taunting Churchillian voice – and face – of the urinal: WC played by the WC. Talk about toilet humour. In a parallel Rachel Reeves-less reality, albeit one where Keir Starmer remains PM amid talk of “Team Wes” and “Team Andy”, Holt plays a chancellor faced with the same conundrum as Reeves. Her initial objections to the urinal are wilfully misinterpreted by the rightwing media as a repudiation of Churchill’s values. When she drops an accidental on-air truth-bomb, describing the former PM as a “turd”, it only inflames the controversy. By the second half of Daniel Clarkson’s production, the country is in uproar and the now-deranged chancellor is feeding vodka to the urinal. “Come to Winnie,” it coos. View image in fullscreen Talk about toilet humour … Michael Lambourne and Rosie Holt in Churchill’s Urinal. Photograph: Steve Ullathorne Holt’s script, with additional material by Stewart Lee, makes salient points about how violent online abuse is now an occupational hazard for female politicians. The show is also fleetingly incisive on the matter of pro-Churchill myth-making, with a Darkest Hour gag the standout. These are anomalies, though, in a shambolic evening which too often relies on name-checks (Michael Fabricant! Isabel Oakeshott! John Nettles!) in lieu of insights or laughs. It is the play’s misfortune to b...

Senator Tammy Baldwin and US trade representative, Jamieson Greer. Al Drago | Graeme Sloan | Bloomberg | Getty Images A group of Democratic senators will issue a set of demands to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer ahead of a mandatory joint review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement this summer. In a letter led by Sen. Tammy Baldwin , D-Wis., and shared exclusively with CNBC before being sent later Wednesday, 15 Democrats wrote to Greer to "insist that any revised agreement must deliver meaningful and measurable gains for American workers." The USMCA, struck during President Donald Trump 's first term, is up for review on July 1. While initially touted by Trump as "the fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law," the president has soured on the pact lately — slapping Mexico and Canada with tariffs during his second term. Greer has also, in testimony to Congress in December, said that "a rubber stamp of the Agreement is not in the national interest," meaning that significant changes may be required to reapprove the agreement or disapprove and enter into a cycle of yearly reviews. Read more CNBC politics coverage Gas tax holiday as Trump promises? Not so fast, trucking, construction industries say Trump doesn't need Congress to restart Iran strikes: Hegseth Analysis: Iran war hangs over Trump's China trip — and his presidency Congress members push Chinese auto parts ban before Trump China trip The Democrats are demanding new provisions on the labor front of the agreement, asking that Greer use the review to "lift all boats by ensuring that both Canada and Mexico fully comply with their labor commitments." The letter writers targeted seven priorities they would like to see addressed in the review. First was business relocations to Mexico. They said the USMCA has fallen short on keeping businesses in the U.S., pointing to manufacturing wages in Mexico, which they say create a wage gap that is leading to offshoring. "With w...

NVIDIA (NVDA) Near $220: AI Boom Fuels Q1 2027 Earnings Optimism? Nvidia company’s stock has been showing slightly poor performance over the past five days, but before that, it had been performing... Written by: Maham Arslan • • 3 min read • Quick overview Nvidia's stock has experienced a slight decline recently, trading at $220.61 with a loss of 0.77%. The company is set to release its Q1 2027 earnings report today, with analysts expecting sales between $78 to $79 billion, an 80% increase from last year. Nvidia's previous fiscal year saw record sales of $215.9 billion, primarily driven by its data center business for AI technology. Analysts maintain a positive outlook on Nvidia's stock, with price targets ranging from $270 to $380. Nvidia company’s stock has been showing slightly poor performance over the past five days, but before that, it had been performing exceptionally well for several months, and at the time we are writing this article, it is trading at $220.61 and showing a loss of 0.77 percent. Today is a very important day for this company’s stock because Nvidia is going to release its latest earnings report for the first quarter of the 2027 fiscal year, which is why investors are eagerly waiting for this report and want to see how much money the company has earned in its Q1 2027, and based on that, they will form an opinion about the company’s future performance. Wall Street analysts are expecting that this company will show sales of $78 to $79 billion in its report, which is considered 80% higher than the same quarter last year. Analysts are also expecting that its earnings per share will be from $1.77 to $1.78, which is being shown as double compared to last year. Considering their performance in the past several quarters and the expectations for this quarter’s report, it is evident that the future of this company is very bright, and because of this the investors of this company who have bought its stocks appear to be very satisfied.

《科创板日报》5月20日讯（记者 王耐） 就在市场热传字节跳动将推出“Seedance 2.1”之际，接近字节跳动的知情人士却向记者否认了这一消息。 真假虚实之间，折射出的是当前AI视频生成市场“一日千里”的激烈竞争。 《科创板日报》获悉，戛纳电影节期间，Seedance2.0 参与制作的8部AI影片在戛纳展映。其中，视频AI平台Higgsfield基于Seedance2.0 制作的全球首部 95 分钟 AI 电影《Hell Grind》，将在戛纳完成全球首映。 而快手的可灵最近也有出圈。用可灵制作的“棒球现场特效”引起广泛传播，相关单条视频在Instagram平台播放量已突破2200万。 另有资本市场方面，有消息称可灵（Kling）即将从快手分拆，且有IPO上市的计划，一时将可灵推上热议的风口。 又有今日凌晨，在谷歌I/O 2026开发者大会，谷歌宣布发布其新型视频生成模型——Gemini Omni。在谷歌世界模型之上长出来的“视频生成模型”，为当前群雄逐鹿、各家大厂不肯松口的视频生成市场，再添一把火。 Seedance现在是一家独大？ 严新是叁陆玖文化的技术负责人，公司从事的是AI短剧和漫剧的制作。采访中，他告诉记者，“现在Seedance在生视频这个领域算是一家独大，目前效果还没有发现更好的。但其他模型也没放弃去测试。” 如果以上算是个人对当前市场的体感，那日均算力消耗的占比或许可以看得更清楚。据AI普瑞斯统计，按日消耗占比计算，目前Seedance已占据市场超八成份额，可灵约占14%，万相2.7约占4%，HappyHorse占比不足1%。 从算力份额来看，Seedance确实稳坐头把交椅。 和Seedance目前的算力份额比起来，可灵处在一个不上不下的位置。 但对于快手内部，可灵则拿到了分量十足的资源配置。最早期，可灵只是“快影”App里的一个实验功能，但到2025年4月，快手专门成立了“可灵AI事业部”，将其升级为与电商、商业化并列的集团一级部门。而且事业部由高级副总裁盖坤负责，直接向创始人兼CEO程一笑汇报。 可灵，也承担着快手打造“第二增长曲线”的重任。5月11日，也就在9天前，资本市场传出消息，快手计划分拆可灵AI业务，以200亿美元估值独立融资，并计划明年启动IPO。 这意味着什么？一个成立不到两年的业务，估值已经逼近母公司市值的七成。 Seeda...

pcruciatti/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Prada S.p.A. ( PRDSY ) has owned a strong brand portfolio in the past few years; Miu Miu has more than tripled in sales in the past few years, and Prada has gained sales despite a very weak luxury sector backdrop. The Versace acquisition brings a much weaker brand to Prada’s portfolio, but the company’s turnaround strategy for the brand could work out in my opinion. Turnaround progress will more than likely not be immediate, though. Sector worries have pressured Prada’s stock price, making the stock’s valuation low. I believe that the valuation presents material upside if Versace does turn around; investors should watch the turnaround closely in the next couple of years. For now, Prada is worth keeping on a watchlist. Seeking Alpha Prada Has Performed Well Against Declining Sector Sales The sector setting hasn’t been easy on any luxury fashion company, as I have written in a prior article on the sector’s leader LVMH ( LVMHF ). Consumer preferences are changing from luxury product to luxury experiences, and consumer confidence has dampened sales in China among other markets. The weak trend started in 2023 and has persisted for much longer than initially expected – LVMH doesn’t see a clear improvement in industry conditions for at least 2026, and other companies’ revenues echo similar weakness. Prada has been exempt from sector weakness; industry conditions haven’t been weak enough to offset the brand portfolio’s momentum. The company reported very strong 8% organic revenue growth in 2025 to a total of €5.72 billion, comparing to an estimated -4% sales decline across 13 luxury fashion companies that I track. Fair momentum has continued onto 2026 as well; Prada reported 3% organic revenue growth in the first quarter. Prada has gained market share consistently from 2022 forward despite not expanding its store count. Author's Illustration Momentum has been enabled by Miu Miu’s strength. The brand has gained more widespread rec...

There aren't too many billionaire investors more closely followed right now than Greg Abel, Warren Buffett's chosen successor to run Berkshire Hathaway, and Bill Ackman, who runs Pershing Square Capital Management (PSCM). Although both are very different in their investing styles, Abel worked under the tutelage of Buffett for many years, while Ackman, at times, has seemingly expressed an interest in making Pershing Square Holdings more like the large conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway. In the first quarter of 2026, one of these billionaire investors piled into the "Magnificent Seven" company Alphabet (GOOG 2.09%)(GOOGL 2.36%), while the other nearly dumped his fund's entire stake in the company. Ackman: Swapping Alphabet for another Magnificent Seven stock According to a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ackman's fund sold 95% of its stake in both Alphabet Class A and Class C shares. PSCM first purchased Alphabet in 2023, and the stock has performed incredibly well. On the social media platform X, Ackman wrote that the sale of Alphabet was not due to bearish sentiment on the company. "We are very bullish long term on Alphabet. But at current valuations and in light of our finite capital base, we used $GOOG as a source of funds for $MSFT," he wrote. As Ackman indicated, during the first quarter, PSCM took a position in Microsoft, valued at close to $2.1 billion. In the first quarter of the year, Microsoft's stock posted its worst performance since 2008, prompting many to see it as an opportune time to buy. Ackman's move is not uncommon for a hedge fund, which typically trades on a shorter time horizon than retail investors because they're paid for active management with the goal of beating the market. Early in 2025, many viewed Alphabet as the value stock in the Magnificent Seven. But the company has now had a big run, so Ackman and his team are moving their funds into Microsoft to take advantage of what they believe is a discounted valua...

The Magnificent Seven technology stocks have driven the S&P 500 to a spectacular 76% gain over the past three years. Investors, from the smallest retail investor to billionaire hedge fund managers, have rushed to get in on these companies as many play a key role in a very hot technology: artificial intelligence (AI). Since AI has what it takes to supercharge corporate operations and therefore earnings growth, the savviest of investors have looked for potential winners in this new gold rush. And one of these investors has been billionaire Michael Platt, co-founder and chief executive officer of BlueCrest Capital Management, a European hedge fund overseeing more than $1.6 billion in 13F securities. Managers of more than $100 million in U.S. securities must report trades quarterly on Form 13F to the Securities and Exchange Commission, offering us a glimpse of their latest moves. Platt heavily invests in financial stocks, but he's also been a supporter of tech stocks in recent times and even held several Magnificent Seven players. However, in the first quarter of this year, the billionaire closed positions in four of these AI titans, and at the same time added to his holding of a company that may be a surefire winner in the AI infrastructure spending boom. Is Platt souring on the Magnificent Seven? Let's take a closer look. Continue reading

Key Points Greg Abel instantly entered the spotlight when Warren Buffett picked him as his CEO replacement at Berkshire Hathaway.

Oleh Stefaniak/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis I rate PLAB with a Sell. The advice is not to short sell the company, but to lock-in the profits for those investors currently holding the stock in their portfolios. The company has realised an exceptional year, with the stock being up 133% LTM and the Q1 FY2026 revenues of $225.1M registering a record in the high-end IC segment. For the future, Photronics is well-positioned to benefit from the regionalisation tailwind, as it is the best US-headquartered supplier of photomasks and one of the most performative merchants in world in terms of market shares. However, my DCF valuation implies a share price of $30-$32, signalling that the market has already (over)priced in the tailwind’s upside potential. I think that the next earnings call (scheduled for May 28) will be in line with the market’s expectations, but I do not believe that the market will additionally reward the company more than it has already done; on the other hand, a correction might be more likely. However, I think the company remains a qualitatively good player in the photomask market, and might represents a good investment if the stock pulls back into the low-$30s. Business Overview Photronics, Inc. ( PLAB ), with headquarters in Brookfield, Connecticut, is not the classic semiconductor company producing chips for applications in the classical end-markets. The company locates itself at an higher level of the supply chain, as it is a key suppliers to semiconductor companies and display manufacturers. For those who are not familiar with the company, its business model is centred on the production of a key component in the semiconductor industries: photomasks. These are high precision templates made of glass or quartz used to transfer microscopic circuit patterns into the semiconductor wafers and display substrates, without these masks, no single semiconductor or display can be patterned. For this reason, the revenues of the company are less tied to...

TLDR Over 47,000 Samsung Electronics workers began an 18-day strike on May 21 after wage negotiations collapsed Samsung stock fell around 3% on the Korea Exchange following the breakdown in talks Workers are demanding bonuses equal to 15% of annual operating profit and removal of a 50% salary bonus cap Samsung rejected the government’s mediation proposal, calling union demands excessive Competitors Micron and SanDisk rose in premarket trading as investors weighed potential supply disruptions Samsung Electronics is facing the largest labor action in its history. More than 47,000 workers began an 18-day strike on Thursday, May 21, after wage talks with the company fell apart. The strike follows the collapse of a government-mediated deal. Samsung’s union had agreed to the proposal from South Korea’s National Labor Relations Commission. Samsung asked for more time to consider it, then declined. Union spokesperson Choi Seung-ho said the union was disappointed by how it ended. “We express deep regret that the post-mediation process was terminated due to the delay in management’s decision-making,” Choi said. Samsung responded by saying the union’s demands “could undermine the fundamental principles of company management.” The company said it remained open to dialogue. What Workers Are Demanding The core of the dispute is Samsung’s bonus system. Workers want bonuses set at 15% of the company’s annual operating profit. That is higher than the 10% rate agreed to by workers at rival SK Hynix. Workers also want to remove a cap that limits bonus payouts to 50% of an employee’s annual salary. They are pushing for a formalized bonus structure and guaranteed payouts for employees in units that post a loss. Analyst Kamil Dimmich of North of South Capital said removing the bonus cap permanently would weigh on Samsung’s profitability. Samsung stock fell about 3% on the Korea Exchange when the news broke. By the close of trading Thursday, shares had recovered to end the day down 0.2%, ...

Patients with multiple comorbidities may be subject to more frequent medical follow-up and closer monitoring, thereby increasing the likelihood of detecting both NSAID use and AMD outcomes. Click image to enlarge. While there is no cure for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), current best practice guidelines recommend lifestyle modifications for patients, such as smoking cessation and the use of vitamin supplements, alongside anti-VEGF injections for those with wet AMD. Given the central role of inflammation in the degenerative processes of both nonexudative and exudative AMD, researchers based in Taiwan have been led to believe it is plausible that aspirin and other NSAIDs, through their anti-inflammatory properties, may reduce the risk of both AMD subtypes. Their recent study identified a decreased risk of AMD among NSAID users compared to non-users. This retrospective study, which was published in Ophthalmology, included patients who received prescriptions for NSAIDs and individuals who never received prescriptions for NSAIDs in order to assess the effects of NSAID prescriptions on future AMD risk. The cohort consisted of 634,794 patients who were prescribed NSAIDs (mean age 59.93) and 634,794 patients who weren’t prescribed NSAIDs (mean age 59.68). Among NSAID users, decreased risk for AMD development was seen at the six-month (hazard ratio; HR: 0.31), one-year (HR: 0.36), three-year (HR: 0.42) and five-year (HR: 0.48) time points after the index date for NSAID use compared to non-NSAID users. The researchers observed a protective effect against AMD development throughout the entire study duration (HR: 0.58) among NSAID users compared to non-NSAID users. A protective effect against AMD development was also observed during the study duration among patients who were prescribed aspirin (HR: 0.72) and those prescribed non-selective COX-2 inhibitors (HR: 0.41) compared to their respective non-users. A decreased risk for AMD was also observed for both non-exudativ...

Former Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero is under investigation toggle caption Juan Karita/AP MADRID — A Spanish court is investigating former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero for alleged influence peddling and other possible crimes tied to a government airline bailout. The National Court in Madrid is probing possible financial wrongdoing in connection with the Spanish government's rescue of the Plus Ultra airline, which in 2021 received 53 million euros (now $62 million) in public money as part of COVID-19 recovery funds. The court said in a statement that the investigation was widened to include Zapatero, who was summoned to answer a judge's questions on June 2. Police with warrants from the investigating judge searched Zapatero's office on Tuesday. Zapatero, 65, was prime minister from 2004 to 2011 and had been out of public office for a decade when Plus Ultra received the bailout. Sponsor Message He is a member of the Socialist party headed by current Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, whose party has been rocked by other corruption scandals over the past two years. Zapatero denied any wrongdoing. "All of my public and private activities have always been conducted in full compliance with the law," he said in a statement to Spanish media. "My private activities and the income and compensation I have received have been declared via income tax with absolute transparency and legality." Plus Ultra is a Spanish-owned airline with investors from Venezuela. It specialized in flights between Spain and Venezuela, Peru and Ecuador. Since leaving office, Zapatero has focused a large part of his activity on maintaining dialogue with the government in Venezuela, which was largely isolated from Western countries after it cracked down on the democratic opposition. When asked about Zapatero on Tuesday, Spanish government spokesperson Elma Saiz told reporters that the administration is "approaching the news with calm, confidence, prudence and respect for the law."
