Ford Motor Company (F +9.22%) has been doing business in Europe for over 100 years, and maybe that's one reason why the Detroit icon has trouble throwing in the towel on the region. Over the past 25 years Ford has made numerous major restructurings of its European business, only for the struggle to continue. In the midst of its newest overhaul, we're now finding out exactly what new models will drive Ford's next attempt to make Europe a bigger part of its bottom line. Except this time, there's a growing threat that is likely to make it even more challenging than in the past. New models, you say? This latest Euro overhaul comes with a different Ford flavor. The automaker is combining off-road vehicle design and on-road performance, with more rally-like capability designed to match Europe's unique setting, with winding, narrow roads and alpine passes. By the end of 2029, Ford plans to launch five all-new passenger vehicles to go on the offensive. One will be a new member of the global Bronco family, a multi-energy rugged compact SUV that will be produced at Ford's Spain plant in 2028. Ford will also bring a new small electric hatch, a small electric SUV, and two multi-energy crossovers. All of them will have the type of off-road rally feel that Ford hopes will gain traction. Heard this before? But is that offensive launch of vehicles enough to reverse years of market share decline and profitability struggles in Europe? That's a big enough question on its own, but currently there's another threat sweeping across the European automotive market: Chinese automakers. Chinese companies have focused on exports, in part to avoid a crippling price war in their homeland, and have found a lot of success early on in Europe. In fact, Chinese automakers doubled their market share in Europe last year, reaching 6% of overall car sales, because of their compelling low-cost offerings and advanced electric vehicle (EV) prowess. The affordability is compelling because, in some cases, the...

Iran, the U.S., and mediator Pakistan all indicated progress in talks to end the months-long conflict on Saturday, even as CBS News reported that Washington was preparing to conduct a new round of military strikes against the country. According to sources with direct knowledge of the planning, the Trump administration is preparing for fresh attacks on Iran despite ongoing attempts t o end the war through diplomacy. However, no final decision on strikes had been taken as of Friday afternoon. “We are now finalizing this memorandum of understanding,” said Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmael Baghaei on Saturday amid high-stakes talks that mediators believe could lead to a 60-day extension to the country’s ceasefire with the U.S. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told journalists in India that “there’s been some progress made" and “there may be news later today.” Iran Iran has rebuilt military assets after weeks of war and then a fragile ceasefire, parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said after the meeting with Field Marshal Asim Munir of Pakistan, state TV reported. Qalibaf, the lead negotiator in historic face-to-face talks with the U.S. last month, also said the result would be “more crushing and more bitter” than at the start of the war if U.S. President Donald Trump resumes attacks. Separately, Iran’s official IRNA news agency quoted Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei as saying that nuclear issues are not part of the current negotiations, as Tehran first seeks to end the war before discussing its nuclear program that has long been at the heart of international tensions. Baghaei said the sides are trying to finalize a memorandum of understanding and positions have moved closer in recent days. “Over the past week, the trend has been toward narrowing differences,” he said. “We will have to wait and see what happens over the next three or four days.” U.S. Rubio said that "even as I speak to you now there is some work being done. There is a chanc...

In recent days, SCRT Labs integrated Intel Trust Authority into its SecretVM platform with default hardware attestation, while Intel advanced AI-centric partnerships and technology deployments spanning motorsport, edge robotics, and large-scale chip manufacturing collaborations. Together with early-stage talks to acquire AI-chip startup Tenstorrent and a preliminary chip-making agreement with Apple, these developments highlight Intel’s bid to reposition itself as a core enabler of confidential AI, advanced foundry services, and high-performance compute beyond its traditional PC roots. We’ll now examine how Intel’s preliminary Apple foundry deal and AI-focused moves could reshape the company’s investment narrative and risk profile. We've uncovered the 10 dividend fortresses yielding 5%+ that don't just survive market storms, but thrive in them. Intel Investment Narrative Recap To own Intel today, you need to believe its AI CPUs, confidential computing stack, and foundry push can offset near term execution and capital intensity risks. The latest SCRT Labs integration and preliminary Apple foundry deal feed into the key short term catalyst: proving Intel can win and scale external manufacturing and AI workloads. At the same time, market share losses in server CPUs and ongoing foundry losses remain, in my view, the biggest unresolved risk. Among the recent announcements, the preliminary chip making agreement with Apple is the most directly relevant. It reinforces the idea that Intel’s advanced nodes and foundry services are gaining real, external demand, alongside partnerships with Google, NVIDIA, Terafab, and now confidential AI deployments via Intel Trust Authority. If those wins translate into durable, profitable volumes, they could meaningfully support the foundry and AI narrative that underpins the stock’s rerating. Yet while the rally story is compelling, investors should be aware that foundry losses, high capital needs, and server CPU share pressure could still.....

You might already know that claiming Social Security can result in a pretty steep penalty.

You might already know that claiming Social Security can result in a pretty steep penalty. Those who sign up as soon as they're eligible shrink their checks by up to 30%, and that reduction is usually permanent. But for some early Social Security claimers, that's not the worst of it. They can lose even more from their checks if they earn more than a certain amount from their jobs. However, there's actually a hidden upside to that. Why working a job can cost you as an early Social Security claimer You'd think that working while claiming Social Security would give you a much larger monthly income, and it can. But this isn't always true if you're claiming checks before your full retirement age (FRA). This is 67 for most people. In that case, you're subject to the earnings test. This little-known rule withholds money from your benefits if you earn more than a certain amount from your job. In 2026, if you'll be under your FRA all year, you lose $1 for every $2 you earn over $24,480. If you'll reach your FRA this year, you lose $1 for every $3 you earn over $65,160 if you earn this much before your birth month. In some cases, the earnings test can cost you entire months of benefits. This could force you to rely more heavily on income from your job or personal savings. If you think this might be an issue for you, you may prefer to hold off on applying for Social Security benefits until you either retire or reach your FRA. After this point, the earnings test doesn't apply, so you can make as much money as you want from your job without it directly affecting your checks. However, a high income could increase your odds of owing Social Security benefit taxes. The upside to losing money to the Social Security earnings test Losing Social Security benefits to the earnings test is a pain in the short term, and unfortunately, there's no way around it other than to try to keep your income from your job to a minimum. But the good news is, the loss isn't permanent. The Social Security...

vm/E+ via Getty Images Over the past ten years my investing strategy has shifted from mostly growth stocks to managing a portfolio that now holds mainly income investments. I like investing for passive income, especially now that I am retired from a 42-year career in information technology. I call my approach my Income Compounder portfolio due to the strategy that I employ of buying stocks and funds “on sale” that offer steady, mostly monthly or even weekly distributions, and then reinvesting the majority of those distributions to grow my future income stream. Many retirees enjoy a steady income stream from their high-yield income funds but may be concerned that NAV “erosion” leads to a loss of invested capital over time. In the past several years, many new ETFs have been introduced to the market that use “alternative” strategies to generate income, including the use of covered calls to generate income from options premiums. One such fund that I would like to review today is the ETF from First Trust offered in conjunction with Vest Financial, using their “ target income strategy ”. The FT Vest Rising Dividend Achievers Target Income ETF ( RDVI ) was introduced in October 2022 and seeks to provide investors with current income and a secondary objective of capital appreciation. RDVI trades at a market price of $27.44 as of 5/22/26 with about $3B in AUM and yields about 8% currently. I rate RDVI Hold and suggest putting this fund on your watchlist for the next market correction for a price pullback to offer a better entry point like we saw in March. Seeking Alpha Target Income Strategy The strategy of generating income that is accompanied by growth is not unique to RDVI, as many funds attempt to offer such an outcome, however, the strategy employed by the fund is somewhat unique and appears to be delivering on target so far in the relatively brief history of the ETF. The aptly named Target Income Strategy seeks to provide a dynamic balance between growth and income as ...

Two years ago, IBM realized there was one glaring omission in its roster of sports partnerships: Formula One. Formula One has become one of the world’s most popular sports, especially in the U.S., where Netflix’s “Drive to Survive” documented the working lives of F1 drivers and turned them into mainstream celebrities. The tech-centric sport has also become a hot ticket for tech companies like AWS, Oracle, and Anthropic, which partner with teams for sponsorship visibility and to provide data analytics and AI tools that can deliver a competitive edge. So when IBM went looking for its next major sports partnership, it’s no wonder the company picked F1 and one of its most iconic teams, Scuderia Ferrari HP. “They’re the winningest team in history,” Kameryn Stanhouse, IBM’s Vice President of Sports and Entertainment Partnerships, told TechCrunch. At the heart of this partnership, however, is what has led other teams to start working with tech giants: access to more sophisticated tech solutions that can help them make the most of, especially, artificial intelligence. In fact, one of the best parts of sports, Stanhouse said, is how much data is available and can be used to help people get comfortable with AI. “They actually see how it serves them,” she said of how AI is used in sports storytelling. The IBM-Ferrari partnership centers on that idea of storytelling, enhancing fan engagement by overhauling the technology powering the Ferrari fan app. To help with this, Ferrari hired Stefano Pallard in the newly titled role “head of fan development,” who said the challenge the team wanted to tackle was not just reaching fans, but “making each of them feel like we know them.” “That starts with taking the data we get from the track and turning it into content that is easy to follow and engaging,” he told TechCrunch. Teams process millions of data points per second during each race, capturing every movement of the driver and the car. Turning this into content that fans can engage w...

What those two have in common is elite dividends that more than double the S&P 500 average of 1.06%. Here are three reasons to buy each stock. HF Sinclair's transition to renewable diesel HF Sinclair has converted several traditional refining assets into renewable diesel facilities, which allows it to capitalize on lucrative environmental credits and the growing demand for low-carbon fuels. In the first quarter of 2026, the company reported a massive shift toward profitability, swinging from a loss per share (EPS) of $0.02 in 2025 to an earnings per share of $3.56 in 2026. It also reported that revenue increased 12% year over year to $7.1 billion. The rise was driven by higher adjusted refinery gross margins in the West region and higher overall refined product sales volumes. By leveraging its existing infrastructure to produce renewable products, HF Sinclair avoids the massive greenfield costs competitors face, positioning itself as a leader in a market increasingly defined by carbon-intensity regulations and tax incentives.

It does not get much bigger than this. Neither Barcelona nor Lyonnes have made it this far through luck, they are the best two teams on the continent, boasting 11 Champions League titles between them. Each side has won their respective domestic titles and will be looking to add a cherry in Oslo. Barcelona will look to outplay Lyon, with the slick football that has made them into the elite team they are, aided by being packed full of world class players, such as Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati. Lyonnes, led by the former Barcelona head coach Jonatan Giraldez, are more physically imposing, which helped them battle past Arsenal in the semi-final. However, they certainly do not lack skill and quality across the park, with Wendie Renard providing the foundations at the back. Let’s hope for a cracker! Kick-off: 5pm BST

ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, May 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crypto markets are increasingly focusing on projects that continue building momentum before exchange listings begin. As investors become more selective about early-stage opportunities, presales with strong funding and growing visibility are moving higher on market watchlists. Ozak AI is now emerging as one of those names after raising over $7.2M, helping strengthen its position within the crypto presale sector ahead of launch. Ozak AI Gains Market Strength Ozak AI’s continued growth reflects rising investor participation and expanding awareness across the crypto market. Crossing the $7.2M funding milestone signals sustained momentum during a period where capital allocation remains increasingly selective. Strong funding often becomes a major factor because it supports ecosystem development, market preparation, and broader expansion plans. Projects entering exchange phases with solid financial backing frequently attract stronger attention from investors searching for early opportunities. As market conditions improve, projects already showing traction before launch often move into the spotlight more quickly. OZ’s Presale Position Expands Ozak AI is currently moving through its final presale stage, marking the closing phase before exchange listings are expected to begin. Final-stage projects frequently gain additional visibility because accessibility remains limited while broader market participation moves closer. Investors often monitor projects approaching major catalysts, and exchange exposure remains one of the most important milestones. Ozak AI’s current phase is helping strengthen its profile among the presales receiving increased market attention. The project’s upcoming launch is targeted at $1, creating a clear benchmark for its transition into public trading. Final Launch Outlook OZ is already listed on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, improving transparency and allowing the broader crypto communit...

JHVEPhoto What's the best memory chip stock right now for investors? Seeking Alpha analysts Nova Capital and Yiannis Zourmpanos weigh in. Nova Capital : We've seen massive momentum in memory chip stocks over the past year, and it might seem that it has already played out. I think it hasn't. It might seem that the best memory stock is the one that has not gone up too much. But when I think about the underlying fundamentals, I see that we should not rely solely on P/E or FCF yield here, especially for TTM figures and anything based on FY2026. I still like SanDisk ( SNDK ) here. I had a Strong Buy rating on it in mid-March 2026. SanDisk specifically has LTA contracts that lock in a highly favorable pricing environment, guaranteeing baseline gross margins of 80% (or even higher if they are lucky) for the next few years. There is a predetermined shipment trajectory that secures forward sales volumes. The next-year P/E ratio sits at less than 8x. While the consensus expects SNDK's earnings to fall by almost 50% in FY2029, I think these forecasts will be naturally revised upward because the memory chip bottleneck is unlikely to clear out in just three years.
