No change next season and consultation extended ‘We have listened to the feedback,’ FA says Proposals to make radical changes to the Women’s FA Cup , including seeding the top four teams from the WSL, have been put on hold, the Guardian can reveal, after the Football Association received negative feedback about the controversial ideas. The FA had also intended to dispense with draw ceremonies after the last 32, introducing a “road to Wembley” bracket akin to a World Cup knockout phase pathway, and review the entry tiers for lower-league sides. But it has put the brakes on its plans after concerns were raised by a significant number of clubs, fan groups and players. Continue reading...

A $330 million leveraged loan to two units of methanol maker Consolidated Energy Ltd. is being marketed at what would be the biggest discount in over two years. Initial price talk is offering the loan at 88 cents on the dollar and at a spread of as much as five percentage points above benchmark, according to a person familiar with the matter. A US leveraged loan hasn’t priced below 90 cents since December 2023 , data compiled by Bloomberg show. This year’s lowest issue price is 98.5 cents . Proceeds from the nonfungible add-on would in part refinance a bond that matures in May , said the person, who asked not to be identified as they’re not authorized to speak publicly. Consolidated Energy’s existing term loan , due in 2030, trades at 90 cents on the dollar. The leveraged-loan market, which opened 2026 with one of its busiest months ever , has undergone a sharp turnaround in recent weeks. At least four deals rated have been pulled from syndication, secondary-market prices plunged and some of the few new deals are offering higher spreads and bigger discounts. S&P Global Ratings on Wednesday put Consolidated Energy, rated CCC+, on watch for possible upgrade in light of the proposed loan add-on. That financing, and “the settlement of an upstream loan to parent Proman AG, improves the company’s liquidity and mitigate repayment risk associated” with the bond due in May, the ratings firm said. S&P downgraded Consolidated Energy three months ago, citing looming debt maturities and weaker-than-expected cash flow.

Jonathan Kitchen/DigitalVision via Getty Images I still remember when Nvidia ( NVDA ) was “it” about a year ago after going up 1000% in about a year. Now the market’s attention has turned to Sandisk ( SNDK ) as the stock rose from a low of $27/share in April 2025 to a high of $725/share a few weeks ago. I believe SNDK is probably unsuitable for retail investors at these valuations and would caution retail investors to avoid buying. This article explains why. SNDK stock price (stockcharts) SNDK’s fundamentals do not justify such a run-up on the stock price SNDK generated annual revenues of $6-7bn a year from FY23 to FY25 (with FY22 a bit higher at $9.7bn). SNDK was delisted in 2016, and before then, generated revenues of around $5-6bn a year in FY13-14. So SNDK has not really grown its revenues in over a decade. SNDK income statement (seekingalpha) SNDK’s market share in 2025 is about 12% , very close to where it was in 2013 . So in terms of market share, SNDK is a major player holding its ground, but far from being as dominant as NVDA or ASML or TSMC. Currently, SNDK has a market cap of $92 bn and the “consensus” 2026 net profit estimate is around $6bn (calculated using the market cap divided by the 2026 consensus P/E estimate of 15 ), mainly based on AI’s increased demand for memory chips in the data storage market. 1. Shortages do not maketh a business There’s been a lot of talk of memory chip shortages in the past year. While shortages can earn corporations (and fortunate individuals) a windfall in the short run, shortages do not make a strong business model in the long run. For example, Coca Cola ( KO ) does not have a $342bn market cap because there is a shortage of Coca Cola. On the contrary, supply of Coca Cola (and any drinks under its umbrella) can be viewed as unlimited. KO earns a healthy profit margin because of consumer stickiness (i.e. people who are used to KO don’t buy Pepsi or other drinks as often). Similarly in the tech business, Google search eng...
