Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto ’s offer to mediate in the Iran conflict has backing from countries including Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, an official said. Prabowo and leaders of various Muslim-majority nations are aligned in seeking to prevent conflict in the Middle East from escalating, Nusron Wahid, Indonesia’s agrarian affairs minister, said Thursday after a meeting between the president and local Islamic leaders. “The president wants to meet with Iran,” Wahid, also a senior member of Nahdlatul Ulama, one of the country’s largest Muslim organizations, told reporters. “He has received support from several Middle Eastern countries, including Pakistan and the UAE.” The comments came after Prabowo hosted a Ramadan dinner at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta where he spoke for more than three hours while outlining his views on conflict in the Middle East. The gathering came a night after the president dined with former presidents and other leaders to gather support for his position on the issue. Prabowo has faced rising criticism since the outbreak of the conflict for joining President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace and offering to deploy thousands of peacekeeping troops to the Gaza region. Majelis Ulama Indonesia, an influential Islamic clerical body, this week urged the government to reconsider participation, as did a senior opposition lawmaker. Others in the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation have criticized the president’s delayed condolences after the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The gathering Thursday brought together more than a hundred leaders from major Islamic organizations including MUI, NU, Muhammadiyah and other organizations. Some in attendance urged the government to delay Board of Peace plans or reassess Indonesia’s participation, while officials argued that remaining engaged could give Jakarta room to promote peace efforts, according to accounts from several attendees. Prabowo indicated that Indonesia would w...

As drones and missiles target cities and critical infrastructure in Ukraine and the Gulf, the world is scrambling to secure supplies of the air defense interceptors needed to stop them. Several European Union states warned at a closed-door meeting in Brussels this week that there is a shortage of interceptors across the world, according to people familiar with the matter. Some of the officials noted that interceptor missiles could become more scarce if the war in the Middle East drags on. The continent has already tapped stockpiles to support Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s aggression, the people said. In Asia, Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries makes Patriot missiles under license from Lockheed Martin Corp. but it has limited capacity to contribute to global stocks. MHI is ramping up annual production from around 30 units a year, but it has also struggled with a bottleneck of supplies of components known as seekers that have to be shipped from the US. In 2025, the US produced about 600 of the missiles. Tokyo exported a batch of Patriot missiles to the US last year, but Japanese defense officials say the country needs its own deeper inventories of both Patriots and ship-launched SM-3 missiles used in air defense. Kyiv still faces constant bombardment from Russian missiles, and needs a steady flow of interceptors. Sending European supplies to allies in the Gulf also risks diverting resources away from Ukraine, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. It is a scenario officials in Moscow believe will come to pass. The fears of an interceptor shortage come as years of warnings from Kyiv have become reality this week: cheap drones can cause colossal damage far beyond Ukraine. Alongside hundreds of ballistic missiles, waves of drone attacks by Iran have been putting pressure on the defenses of the US and its partners in the region. More than 1,000 Shahed-136 one-way strike drones — small, rudimentary cruise missiles — have ...

Merger fuels optimism Capital One stock is down about 19% year to date, mainly due to concerns about potential regulation and legislation affecting credit cards. But I take a more bullish view of Capital One, stemming largely from its acquisition of Discover. The acquisition, which closed last year, combined one of the largest credit card issuers with the Discover card payment network. The marriage of the two is expected to result in $2.5 billion to $2.7 billion in annual synergies, starting in 2027. That essentially means that the bank will see that much benefit each year between cost reductions and new revenue opportunities.

Sinenkiy/iStock via Getty Images Sturm, Ruger & Company's ( RGR ) stock has been hurt by low demand in the consumer firearm market and the new CEO's transition. The new CEO has invested in capacity expansion, introduced new platforms, and entered the high-margin accessory business. I have a conservative intrinsic value at $59.74/share, presenting 43% upside at the time of this article's writing. I issue a Buy rating, and only hold on a Strong Buy rating because I would like to see the new accessory business performance. Business Overview and 2025 Updates Sturm, Ruger & Company is an American manufacturer of firearms, that has a domestic supply chain for their products. The company has a small ancillary casting business that is not meaningful to my investment thesis. The current CEO, Todd Seyfert, has been on the job for one year and has been executing on a few key initiatives. First, he started with reevaluating the business from top to bottom. In 2025 he deliberately slowed down production and rationalized inventory to match the current weak consumer gun market demand. These actions resulted in a 3-year low, a year-end inventory of 230K units. A 28% drop from 2024, and 42% drop from 2023. They also led to the lowest gross margins recorded for RGR (14.9%) and negative earnings. RGR 10-K Second, during the year he headed the acquisition of Anderson Manufacturing for $15.8MM. Anderson was a manufacturer of firearms AND firearm accessories. This strategic purchase included Anderson’s Manufacturing facility in Hebron, Kentucky, and machinery. It provides Ruger the opportunity to absorb a skilled and experienced workforce, strengthening its production capabilities and expanding its product offerings. He also launched three new gun platforms at Ruger, continuing on his thesis that new products will help to stabilize and grow sales despite the macro headwinds being seen in the market right now. Todd stated on the call these new products are what enabled the 2% growth in sa...
