A smoke plume rises from an ongoing fire near Dubai International Airport in Dubai on March 16, 2026. - | Afp | Getty Images The United Arab Emirates on Tuesday announced a temporary but full closure of its airspace as a precaution amid the ongoing Middle East war. The General Civil Aviation Authority said the closure was an "exceptional precautionary measure aimed at ensuring the safety of flights and air crews, and safeguarding the UAE's territory, amid rapidly evolving regional security developments." The authority said the move followed a comprehensive review of security and operational risks and was made in coordination with relevant national and international bodies. It added that protecting airspace safety and preserving the UAE's sovereignty remain its highest priorities, and that updates will be provided as the situation develops. The move came after Dubai International Airport resumed a limited flight schedule on Monday morning following a drone strike that hit a fuel depot and triggered a fire. Authorities said no injuries were reported from the strike, the fourth drone-related incident to occur at the airport. The UAE's Defense Ministry said in an update on Monday that air defenses have intercepted over 300 ballistic missiles and 1,600 drones since the war entered its third week. The disruption comes amid broader flight cancellations and rerouting across the Middle East, as airlines reassess operations through the region's increasingly volatile airspace. British Airways said Monday it extended a temporary reduction to its Middle East flight schedule due to ongoing uncertainty, affecting flights from Abu Dhabi, Amman, Bahrain, Doha, Dubai and Tel Aviv. The airline said it is keeping the situation under constant review and is in direct contact with affected customers to offer travel options. The IAG-owned airline has operated eight relief flights from Muscat, Oman, and added flights to and from Singapore and Bangkok to support travelers impacted by the sit...

The 9 processors and graphics chips stocks we track reported a very strong Q4. As a group, revenues beat analysts’ consensus estimates by 2.1% while next quarter’s revenue guidance was 12,479% above. Amidst this news, share prices of the companies have had a rough stretch. On average, they are down 10.4% since the latest earnings results.

Getty Images WBD Players The “winner” of the contest for Warner Bros. Discovery ( WBD ) is among the losers. New debt yet to be issued will be far from investment grade (i.e., “junk” down from BB- to BBB+ according to Fitch Ratings). New content will be expensive to produce and is not likely to offset costs of new debt. There is currently no compelling reason to buy or hold Paramount ( PSKY ) or Netflix ( NFLX ) shares. The WBD acquisition adventure made them both “damaged goods” and dead money investments. Overview As I wrote in my previous SA article of December 10, 2025 --"Netflix (or Paramount Skydance) Buying Warner Bros. Discovery Is a Risky Deal" -- the companies involved in the bidding for WBD have all been damaged by their adventure in media hyperscaling. By bidding, Netflix has implicitly revealed that its expected organic growth will soon wane. Paramount has implicitly revealed that it’s too small to play the streaming and production game unless it significantly enlarges its footprint. And WBD was already hampered by debt now of $34 billion (down from $45 billion) and by playing politics. Paramount ends up with a deal of $111 billion total value, and WBD shareholders end up with a final price of $31.00. To Paramount’s current pre-merger debt of $15 billion, there will thus be a need for the issuance of another estimated $60-65 billion. This will bring total debt upon completion to around $79-80 billion. None of this will be anywhere near investment grade, as the estimated leverage would likely be at least 6 to 7 times projected EBITDA with a likely unsecured yield of at least 8 to 10%. The comparable ratios for other major studio companies such as Comcast ( CMCSA ) and Disney ( DIS ) are much lower and thus less risky. When Paramount first floated its bid for WBD, the 10-year US Treasury bond yield was about 4.0%, and spreads against junk debt were as narrow as they can rationally and historically be. But now, half a year later, spreads have started to wi...
