France is sticking to its growth forecasts for this year even as the surge in energy prices following the outbreak of the Iran war will weigh on the economy, Finance Minister Roland Lescure said. The government set a growth forecast of 1% in its budget for 2026 and expected inflation around 1%. Those predictions were finalized in the finance bill adopted in February, before the conflict in the Middle East. “At this stage there is no reason to change them as we remain in a resilient economy,” Lescure said on RMC radio on Wednesday. “We know it will have an impact — probably a little less growth and probably a bit more inflation — but it will depend on the intensity and duration.” ECB’s Villeroy Says Not Right Moment to Raise Rates Next Week French Business Uncertainty Surges on Iran: Central-Bank Survey

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction Rating: BUY Sanmina's ( SANM ) share price is down 33% since announcing disappointing guidance for Q2 in its latest earnings call. I think that this is unfair to Sanmina, especially given the latest exciting developments of the company. Sanmina's business has undergone a complete transformation ever since its acquisition of ZT Systems last year, which is why share prices have been up 61% since one year ago. I view this pullback as an attractive BUY opportunity in accumulating Sanmina's shares due to several key reasons: First, Sanmina is benefitting from strong synergies with ZT Systems ; the acquisition of ZT Systems has transformed Sanmina into a vertically integrated AI rack assembler, which has strengthened its competitive advantage in the industry. Second, Sanmina is a direct beneficiary of AMD's explosive growth; Sanmina has secured New Product Introduction (NPI) status from AMD, which gives it a clear design and speed advantage over other server assemblers in the AMD platform. With AMD gaining multiple customer engagements for its Helios Rack, as we can see from the Meta 6GW Deal and the OpenAI 6GW Deal, Sanmina will be a direct beneficiary of this growth. Thirdly, Sanmina is trading at an attractive valuation relative to its EMS peers; Sanmina is currently trading at 12.0x FY 2026 P/E, which is at the mid-low point of its historic PE band. This is unfair, as Sanmina's shares deserve a valuation re-rating given that its AI opportunity is expected to accelerate growth. Sanmina's shares are also much cheaper than its EMS peers and AMD, which makes it a cheap proxy for the sector. Business Overview If you aren't familiar with Sanmina, Sanmina is one of the world's largest Electronics Manufacturing Service (EMS) companies. Think of Sanmina as a factory that assembles products on your behalf. All you have to do is supply Sanmina with a design, and they will do all the dirty work on your behalf in return for ...

Key Points The more money you have in your retirement account and the older you are, the higher your RMD. Failure to take an RMD by the due date can result in a penalty of 25% on the amount not withdrawn. You're not limited to withdrawing your RMD only. An RMD is the minimum you must take. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › You've tucked away $1 million for retirement and understand that you'll have to begin taking required minimum distributions (RMDs) at age 73 (or 75 if you were born in 1960 or later). As you plan for retirement, though, you're not quite sure how much those RMDs will be. How much must you withdraw from your retirement account each year to satisfy Social Security Administration (SSA) requirements? Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » The basic formula for figuring your RMD amount boils down to this: Your account balance divided by your life expectancy factor. Here's what that means in plain English. Age matters Let's say you're turning 73 this year. The IRS' life expectancy table gives you a denominator of 26.5. Dividing $1 million by 26.5 yields $37,736. Your RMD for the year is therefore $37,736. If you were turning 75 this year, your RMD would increase to $40,650, and by age 80, it would be $49,505. As you grow older, you have fewer projected years to live. This means you're dividing your account balance by a smaller number, resulting in a higher taxable withdrawal amount. Calculating your own RMD, step by step If you'd like to calculate the amount you must withdraw, here's how it's done: Locate your account balance on Dec. 31 of the prior year. Make a note of how old you'll be on your birthday in the current year. Look at the life expectancy factor in the appropriate IRS table. Divide your account balance by the life expectancy fa...

Hong Kong police and a bomb disposal unit were deployed to a residential area in Happy Valley on Wednesday afternoon after a driver spotted a suspected wartime grenade lodged on a hillside. Police received a report at about 1.40pm from a driver passing the Villa Monte Rosa housing estate on Stubbs Road. The device, described as being roughly the size of a lemon, was found on a slope near the luxury residential complex. Advertisement Officers from the explosive ordnance disposal bureau were called to the scene to assess and safely handle the object, adding that no evacuation was required. The Transport Department announced at 2.48pm that a one-lane, two-way traffic arrangement had been implemented on Stubbs Road near The Valley View because of the emergency, advising commuters to expect heavy congestion in the area.

Nike (NKE 0.78%) has lost its way with investors. The iconic sneaker and athletic apparel giant has lost roughly two-thirds of its market value since the stock peaked nearly five years ago. The company has struggled since the pandemic, haunted by mismanagement and a full-court press from competitors that resonated with consumers. Despite its woes, Nike stock is difficult to pass up as a buy-and-hold-forever dividend stock. The business still has good bones Just because other brands have found success doesn't mean that they've displaced the Swoosh as the top dog in the sporting world. Nike is still far larger than any of its competitors, with more than $46 billion in annual sales. The company reaches global audiences through licensing rights across various professional sports and has endorsement deals with a laundry list of iconic athletes. Nike's profit margins have declined significantly as it's discounted old merchandise to clear it out amid its turnaround efforts. However, Nike is on very solid financial ground. The company still has nearly $2.5 billion in free cash flow over the past year, and about $2.4 billion in net debt on its balance sheet. It's fair to say Nike has stumbled, and it's certainly lost its growth-stock label. That said, Nike is far from a business circling the drain. Expand NYSE : NKE Nike Today's Change ( -0.78 %) $ -0.44 Current Price $ 56.09 Key Data Points Market Cap $83B Day's Range $ 55.80 - $ 57.22 52wk Range $ 52.28 - $ 80.17 Volume 697K Avg Vol 19M Gross Margin 40.72 % Dividend Yield 2.89 % Positioning for the turnaround Arguably, Nike's biggest misstep over these past five years was a decision to pull away from its entrenched relationships with wholesalers in favor of selling directly to consumers. This strategy ultimately backfired, and Nike inserted Elliott Hill as CEO in late 2024, a former Nike executive who returned from retirement. Thus far, Nike has returned to selling on Amazon after a years-long absence and has focused on re...

India has relaxed curbs on Chinese investments in certain sectors to attract more foreign capital, as Beijing and New Delhi continue to gradually repair their economic relationship after years of tense relations. In a cabinet statement released on Tuesday, New Delhi introduced a fast-track approval mechanism for investments from land-bordering countries – including China. The move amends a previous restriction that had mandated government scrutiny for all such capital inflows. Under the new rules, investments in specific sectors – including capital goods, electronics and solar components – will be processed within 60 days, as long as Indian residents hold majority shareholdings over the ventures at all times, according to the statement. Advertisement Investors from bordering nations who hold a non-controlling beneficial ownership of up to 10 per cent will be granted automatic clearance, subject to specific regulatory conditions, it added. “From the perspective of supply chain collaboration, India should welcome Chinese investment,” said Mao Keji, a research fellow at the International Cooperation Centre of China’s National Development and Reform Commission. Advertisement Mao said New Delhi might have realised it had been imprudent to shut out Chinese capital for the past several years. New Delhi first introduced mandatory screening of foreign direct investments from land-bordering countries – a move known as Press Note 3 – in April 2020, which it justified as being necessary to guard against “opportunistic takeovers” during the pandemic.
