One of EssilorLuxottica SA founder Leonardo Del Vecchio ’s sons is considering buying an additional 25% of the family holding company from two of his siblings, in a €14 billion ($16.5 billion) deal that would help resolve a protracted inheritance stalemate, Repubblica reported. Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio has sent a letter Delfin Sarl , saying he may be ready to purchase 12.5% stakes held by brothers Luca and Paola, the newspaper reported on Thursday. With his existing 12.5% stake, Leonardo Maria would then own about 37.5% of the family company. The deal would mark a major step toward resolving a years-long inheritance case following the death of Leonardo Del Vecchio in 2022. The eyewear magnate split his holdings into eight equal parts and restrictions, along with differences among family members, have made it difficult for Delfin to execute major decisions. Delfin declined to comment to Bloomberg News. A representative for Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio wasn’t available to comment. Consolidating the stake would also raise Leonardo Maria’s standing within EssilorLuxottica, where he is chief strategy officer. He is the only sibling involved in the company, which is 32% owned by Delfin. Delfin is also a major holder of Italian insurance group Generali and Banca Monte dei Paschi Di Siena , which recently purchased another Italian bank, Mediobanca.

STORY: :: New Delhi, India / February 19, 2026 :: Tata Group announces a deal with OpenAI to create India's first major AI-optimized data center :: Natarajan Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Group “The Tata Group is establishing India's first large-scale AI-optimized data center purpose-built for the next generation AI training on inference. I'm very happy to announce that we have partnered with OpenAI to build the first 100 megawatt capacity, which will scale to one gigawatt.” :: Chandrasekaran said Tata would also work with AMD to create 'high density AI capacity in India' “And we made an announcement with AMD yesterday, where we will combine the world class AI rack architecture with Tata's strength in infrastructure, engineering, power and solution capabilities to create a sustainable, high density AI capacity in India for global standards.” Speaking at the AI Impact Summit on Thursday, Tata Group Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran said the facility would begin with 100 megawatts of capacity, expandable to one gigawatt. The deal is a major boost for Tata Group's Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which had last year disclosed plans to invest up to $7 billion in a 1 gigawatt data center unit in India. The AI Impact Summit is being billed as the first major artificial intelligence forum in the Global South, where India has sought to position itself as a leading voice in global AI governance.

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Cloudflare ( NET ) reported extremely strong results in the fourth quarter, leading the stock to rebound modestly from its recent drawdown. Current strength appears to be broad-based, with application services an area of particular strength. This is before tailwinds like AI inferencing workloads begin to have a material impact. Concerns over AI disrupting software companies could weigh on the stock in the near term. This fear is misplaced in Cloudflare's case, though, due to the infrastructure-heavy nature of its business and the competitive advantages it has. I previously suggested that the Cloudflare bubble had reinflated. While the stock is now up since then, there has been significant volatility and opportunities to enter at lower prices. I continue to believe that investors need to be prepared for a substantial drawdown, but emerging tailwinds likely mean that Cloudflare will provide strong returns going forward. Market Conditions Despite growing concerns about the potential impact of AI on software, the demand environment appears to be improving for most software companies, with AI and cybersecurity remaining areas of particular strength. Cloudflare has stated a number of times in the past that it plans on investing through its income statement, holding its operating income near breakeven for the foreseeable future. As a result, the company's hiring should be a reasonable indicator of revenue growth. The number of Cloudflare job openings steadily increased over the past 12 months and potentially points towards stronger revenue growth going forward. Figure 1: Cloudflare Job Openings (source: Revealera) This is supported by the number of job openings mentioning Cloudflare in the job requirements. After a sharp pullback in late 2022, this metric has been steadily increasing in recent years.

Some investors are in the market to achieve outsize returns. This might push them to earlier-stage and higher-risk companies. On the other end of the spectrum are investors who want the businesses that they own to write them a check every quarter. They might not necessarily care about outperforming the broader stock market over the long term. If decades of passive income is something that you're after, then consider these two stocks to buy now and hold forever. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading
