hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images As previously signaled, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ( AMC ) has entered into an agreement to issue up to $150 million in common stock. It also announced its preliminary Q4 2025 results and quantified how changes in European movie attendance and the North American box office affect its adjusted EBITDA. Based on that information, I estimate that AMC needs around $10.1 billion to $10.2 billion per year in North American box office to breakeven in terms of keeping its net debt from growing. AMC reported having $428.5 million in cash and cash equivalents (not including restricted cash) at the end of 2025. However, Q1 2026 is looking to be by far the weakest quarter in 2026 based on the movies being released then. Also, Q1 is historically a quarter where working capital changes negatively affect AMC's cash by a large amount. Thus it makes sense for AMC to raise cash now, despite having a decent amount at the end of 2025. After Q1 2026, the box office for the remainder of the year seems likely to average around the amount needed for AMC to breakeven. AMC's debt remains a massive issue, though (with most of its debt maturing in 2029), and there's a high chance that it will need to issue more shares to help deal with its debt some more (such as for debt-for-equity exchanges). AMC's share price is now around my estimated value of $1.25 per share (which I am maintaining), and I am moving back to a "Neutral" outlook on it for now. 2025 Results AMC reported its preliminary results for Q4 2025, which were slightly better than I expected given the relatively weak box office in the quarter. AMC reported approximately $1,288.3 million in revenues in Q4 2025, down 1.4% compared to Q4 2024. This was around 5% to 6% better than the year-over-year domestic box office performance, though. AMC's full-year 2025 revenues were approximately $4,848.9 million, which is a 4.6% increase compared to 2024 and around 3% to 4% above the year-over-year ...

定日鏡（heliostat）指將太陽或其他天體的光線反射到固定方向的光學裝置，又稱定星鏡。作用與定天鏡類似，但採用一塊平面鏡置於赤道式裝置中，可作赤緯方向的移動。 工作原理 當鏡面以周日運動的速度作跟蹤運動時，太陽光或星光被反射到極軸方向，然後直接或經輔助平面鏡反射入固定的望遠鏡。與定天鏡相比，它的主要優點是不用導軌，結構簡單緊湊。光線入射角在跟蹤過程中變化很小，一天以內儀器偏振近於常數，有利於太陽表面磁場橫向分量的測量。主要缺點是反射天區（即視場）以周日速度旋轉，觀測有視面天體時，需補償這種視場旋轉。此外，由於冬季太陽光入射角較大，因此對鏡面精度的要求比定天鏡更高。美國基特峰天文台的太陽塔，采用的口徑二米的定日鏡，是世界上最大的。它還用於觀測恆星和行星的光譜。 當平面鏡對准東方出現的星體（太陽）時，可經赤道儀追蹤，使星光（太陽光）能穩定的經平面鏡反射到極軸方向，然後在極軸方向處，設置一個輔助平面鏡，再把光線反射（導入）到固定式的望遠中，如此光線可經望遠鏡成像，即可做為觀測星體（太陽）的儀器。如果把望遠鏡裝設在室內，就可在室內直接做星光（太陽光）的研究分析。中央氣象局用直徑20公分平面鏡的定日鏡進行太陽黑子觀測，效果很好。 裝置設計 定日鏡裝置為一種定向投射太陽光的平面鏡裝置，屬於太陽能應用技術領域。該裝置包括至少兩片平面鏡，以及平面鏡的方位角調整機構和高度角調整機構，所述方位角調整機構包括底架、固定於底架兩側的立架以及與底架銜接的驅動機構，所述高度角調整機構包括至少一根平行於平面鏡的橫向轉軸，所述平面鏡相互平行地安裝在立體的平行連桿機構框架上，所述框架通過所述橫向轉軸支撐於方位角調整機構的立架上。此外，所述方位角調整機構的底架裝有至少三個支撐於地面的滾輪，並通過垂直鉸鏈副與固定於地面的構件銜接。本實用新型的裝置結構簡單，基礎穩定，所需驅動力小，抗風性能好，並且選用常規材料制造即可，加工制造工藝簡便，因此造價大幅降低。 作用 定日鏡高塔的「吸星大法」 在這塊足球場大的場地上，最讓人好奇的就是擺在地面上的32面大鏡子。發電站的工作人員告訴記者，這些大鏡子稱為「定日鏡」，每一面鏡子都有足足20平方米，經過工作人員的允許，記者乘著電梯緩慢來到高塔的25米平台上俯看，32面鏡子的反光讓人有些刺眼，也讓這個看似有些荒蕪的場地瞬間變得如舞台般炫美華麗。「定日鏡」就像32棵「向日...

AndreyPopov/iStock via Getty Images The first six weeks of 2026 are in the books. It is time to circle back on the housing sector for several key reasons. First, housing related activity makes up roughly one sixth of GDP and currently GDP growth has few key drivers outside the massive surge in tech spending related to the AI Revolution. U.S. Consumer Sentiment (FRED) In addition, housing prices are a significant part of consumer sentiment, which is in the doldrums right now despite some recent improvement. Finally, we have mid-terms coming up in November in the U.S. And ' Affordability ' continues to be a core political theme given the significant amount of buying power lost to the surge in inflation over the past half decade following Covid. Several initiatives to ' revive ' the housing market has recently been floated. U.S. Inflation Rate (Multpl) So, in today's article I take a look at the current state of the housing sector and what this means for the U.S. economy as well as related areas of the market. One of the most interesting studies that came out in 2025 that got little attention was a Kiplinger's study in spring of last year that canvassed the top 100 metro regions in the U.S. It found that owning a single-family home was on average 57% more expensive than renting the same home. In only one metro region (Pittsburgh) was owning a home cheaper than renting it (barely). U.S. Existing Home Sales By Year (Mortgage News Daily) If one believes most human beings make somewhat rational decisions around most people's largest investment in life, before the housing market can rebound from its current moribund status is that the rent versus buy decision has to become more favorable to buyers. This piece will look at the potential drivers that could make that happen. Rents Rise: MBA.Org Obviously, if national rents rise significantly, this would tilt the home buying decision more to the buy side. However, national average rents have now decreased on a year-over-year ba...

Key Points Solana plans to introduce Alpenglow, a consensus protocol that improves speed and security. It should also complete its Firedancer upgrade, a software that processed 1 million transactions per second in testing. 10 stocks we like better than Solana › Since its launch in 2020, Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) has stood out from other programmable blockchains for its performance. Transactions process in seconds, and transaction fees are well under $0.01. Successful blockchains are constantly evolving, and Solana is no exception. This year is shaping up to be a big one for Solana, as there are two major technical upgrades scheduled. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » The first is Alpenglow, a new consensus protocol to replace its current system of validating transactions. While Solana's existing consensus protocol is fast, it has some limitations. Transaction finalization takes about 12 to 13 seconds, for starters. With Alpenglow, it will drop to as low as 100-150 milliseconds. Alpenglow also improves the network's security. It provides "20+20" resilience, meaning the network remains safe even if 20% of the validation nodes act maliciously and another 20% are offline. In addition, Solana will release the full version of its Firedancer validator client software. Firedancer could drastically improve Solana's transaction processing, as it handled up to 1 million transactions per second (tps) in testing. It's also more bug-resistant than the previous validator client, Agave. Firedancer breaks each validator's task into separate tiles, which keeps issues contained. If there's a bug, the validator can simply restart that tile. Solana also runs a bug bounty program for Firedancer, offering bounties of up to $500,000. Solana is currently running a hybrid software with elements of Firedancer and Agave, known as Frankendancer. The full release is ...

A surprise surge in US jobs hit Treasuries as traders pared bets on Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. Asian equity futures were mixed after US stocks ended flat. The latest monthly employment report showed 130,000 roles added in January, twice the median forecast, underscoring a robust economy that may not merit imminent policy easing. Short-dated Treasuries were hit the hardest, with two-year yields rising six basis points to around 3.51%. Money markets priced in the Fed’s next cut in July , from June previously. Gold and silver rose, Bitcoin fell for a third session and the dollar was fractionally weaker, benefiting the yen , which touched a two-week high. Equity-index futures were pointing to gains in Japan as markets were set to reopen Thursday following a holiday, while contracts for Hong Kong and Australian benchmarks fell. The S&P 500 ended Wednesday flat after a bumpy session with real estate services stocks getting hit, while the Nasdaq 100 rose 0.3%. The moves signaled that for now, strength in the US economy counterbalances the desire for lower borrowing costs, supporting risk sentiment that has itself taken a battering over AI concerns in recent weeks. The US jobs report should be welcomed by investors — even if it gives the Fed more room to stay put, said Bret Kenwell at eToro. “If the labor market is indeed stabilizing, that would be constructive for both the economy and the market,” he noted. The S&P 500 closed near 6,940. In late hours, Cisco Systems Inc. gave a tepid margin forecast, overshadowing a generally positive outlook fueled by artificial-intelligence gains.

Children who carry knives will be given earlier and more targeted support in the wake of stabbings at a secondary school, David Lammy has said. The deputy prime minister said every child in England and Wales caught with a sharp weapon will be given a mandatory, specialised plan from the authorities. It comes after two pupils at Kingsbury high school, in Brent, north-west London, were left seriously injured after being stabbed at lunchtime on Tuesday. A 13-year-old boy is thought to be a former pupil who disguised himself in the correct uniform to carry out the attack. Police will refer every child knife possession case to youth justice services – locally led teams spanning health, education and community services tasked with mandating targeted action to help each child. They could also could be forced to attend mentoring to stay in education or social skills training to boost employability, officials said. The aim is to address the root causes of a child’s offending, including potential exploitation by criminal gangs and childhood trauma. Officials claim such a policy will give children the foundations they need to turn their backs on crime and keep our streets safe, and is part of the government’s commitment to halve knife crime within a decade. These plans will be mandatory, with no child able to avoid the getting the support they need, it is claimed. Failure to engage will have serious consequences, such as possible criminal charges and time behind bars. Lammy said: “With early targeted action, we can put children on the right path to a positive future and stop them falling into a toxic cycle of reoffending. “Our reforms will give local services the security they need to help more young people and make our streets safer for everyone.” The plans announced today will be backed up with a first-of-its-kind three-year wider funding package for youth justice services, worth more than £320m. In Brent, DCS Helen Flanagan, of counter-terrorism policing London, said the vi...

In the UK, 16 and 17-year-olds make up only around 3% of the population aged 16 and over so researchers say the impact on overall vote share is likely to be negligible, particularly as turnout tends to be lower for younger age groups.

中東局勢持續緊張，美國總統特朗普表明會繼續跟伊朗談判；德黑蘭政府就稱願意公平對話，不會屈服於其他國家的無理要求。至於美國倡議的和平委員會，意大利及波蘭質疑其架構，現階段不會加入。 以色列總理內塔尼亞胡周三到訪華盛頓布萊爾國賓館，會晤美國國務卿魯比奧，並簽署以色列加入和平委員會的文件。 內塔尼亞胡又轉到白宮會晤美國總統特朗普，討論伊朗及加沙局勢，歷時近三小時，美國傳媒沒有轉播會談情況。特朗普會後在網上帖文，形容跟內塔尼亞胡會晤非常好。但他強調，美方會堅持跟伊朗繼續談判，尋求達成協議，現階段沒有實際成果。以色列總理辦公室亦發表相對簡短的聲明，指內塔尼亞胡向特朗普提到以色列的安全需求，雙方亦同意保持溝通協調，聲明沒有提及以美雙方就伊朗問題達成甚麼結論。 伊朗總統佩澤希齊揚同日在德黑蘭出席伊斯蘭革命47周年紀念活動，有民眾高呼反美國、反以色列口號。對於伊朗政府上月鎮壓示威者，據報造成數千人死亡，佩澤希齊揚就稱事件對國家帶來重大悲痛，當局不想跟人民對抗。 他又稱伊朗不會尋求核武，亦不會屈服於其他國家無理要求。當局正尋求對話及實現地區和平，但面對不公正，伊朗絕不退縮。伊朗外長阿拉格齊重申，導彈計劃不會納入跟美國談判範圍。 由美國倡議的和平委員會據報下周四開會，討論加沙第二階段停火及重建計劃。波蘭總理圖斯克表明，由於對其架構和目標有疑慮，因此現階段不會加入，並且評估局勢。意大利亦不會加入，原因是憲法規定意方要跟其他國家在平等條件下加入國際組織，但和平委員會的章程賦予主席、即特朗普有廣泛權力，意方一旦加入變相違憲。

Arne Slot has said he does not believe his job security hinges on Liverpool securing Champions League qualification this spring but the Dutchman would much prefer not to put that assertion to the test. On this evidence there seems a decent chance the Champions’s manager will not have to. In finally ending Sunderland’s proud unbeaten home record in the Premier League this season, sixth placed Liverpool left themselves only three points adrift of fourth placed Manchester United and two behind fifth placed Chelsea. Régis Le Bris’s intelligent and supremely well organised side did not surrender lightly but, with Florian Wirtz continuing to go from strength to strength, Liverpool just about deserved to edge a match decided by Virgil van Dijk’s header from Mo Salah’s second half corner. The only downside for Slot was the nasty looking ankle injury sustained by Wataru Endo. It all began with both teams eyeing each other rather warily at a rain sodden Stadium of Light. With no one seeming to want to take any real risks too early the first half opened in mutually cautious, thoroughly cagey fashion. Although Liverpool had quite a bit of possession it initially foundered in the face of a meticulously organised Sunderland defence. Then, with around 30 minutes on the clock, Wirtz met Alex Mac Allister’s pass took a steadying touch and decided to try his luck from the edge of the area. While Robin Roefs did well to turn that one around a post, Sunderland’s goalkeeper was subsequently relieved to see a subsequent Wirtz shot rebound off the base of an upright after Andy Robertson’s cross bisected Le Bris’s backline. With Wirtz in increasingly catalytic mood as he assumed centre stage and Mo Salah, sporadically ruffling the already booked Reinildo, Le Bris had reason to look more than a little anxious at times. Yet his team, too, had their moments. All kaleidoscopic positional interchanging going forward, Sunderland were being fully stretched yet remained very much in the game. It w...
