Podcasts about Business Wire

Video Game profits collapse, PC sales boom & The Next Gen battle begins in Japan These stories and many more on this episode of the VGNRTM! This episode we will look back at the biggest stories in and around the video game industry in November 1994.  As always, we'll mostly be using magazine cover dates, and those are of course always a bit behind the actual events.

Twee beursdagen verder en het is gelijk raak. SpaceX doet een gigantische overname. 60 miljard dollar is ermee gemoeid. Het neemt Anysphere over, een softwarebedrijf vooral bekend van hun AI-model Cursor. Dat is dan vooral weer bekend onder 'vibecoders': mensen die AI gebruiken om te coderen. We zoeken uit of de kersverse SpaceX-aandeelhouders blij moeten zijn met deze nieuwe aanwinst. We kijken wat Cursor precies kan toevoegen aan het ruimtevaartbedrijf. Of moeten we het ondertussen gewoon een AI-bedrijf gaan noemen? En je hoort hoe lang het aandeel van SpaceX de spectaculaire stijging nog kan doorzetten. Verder hebben we het ook over concurrent OpenAI. Ook daar weten ze maar al te goed wat uitgeven is. Er gaat ongeveer drie keer zoveel geld per jaar uit als dat er binnenkomt. En er vloeien ook miljarden naar marketing. Kan het toekomstige beursbedrijf hun toekomstige aandeelhouders met dat soort cijfers wel overtuigen dat ze ooit winstgevend gaan zijn? We vertellen je ook nog over Box 3. De nieuwe wet kreeg al bakken met kritiek maar dat blijkt nog niet genoeg. Tweede Kamerpartijen hopen de wet voor de zomer nog van tafel te krijgen. Te gast: Robbert Manders van het Antaurus Europe Fund BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML. Wij vertellen je wat beleggers bezighoudt, wie de markten in beweging zet en wat dat betekent voor jouw beleggingsportefeuille.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks. Includes an article with a terrific ranking of companies by their ethical standards. By Ron Robins, MBA Transcript & Links, Episode 165, March 27, 2026 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to my podcast episode 165, published on March 27, 2026, titled "March 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks." This podcast is presented by Investing for the Soul. Investingforthesoul.com is your go-to site for vital global, ethical, and sustainable investing mentoring, news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript and links to content, including stock symbols and bonus material, on this episode's podcast page at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. I have a great crop of 18 articles for you in this podcast! Note: Some companies are covered more than once. Now with so many articles to potentially cover, I've chosen 3 to quote from. The other 15 can be found on the webpage for this podcast edition, along with their titles and links. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Best 3 Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy and Hold for Decades from fool.com In this episode, I begin with an article on an investment sector at the core of most ethical and sustainable investors' portfolios: renewable energy. The article's title is The Best 3 Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy and Hold for Decades from fool.com. It's by Reuben Gregg Brewer. Here are some quotes on each of his picks. "1) Brookfield Renewable is 100% clean (BEP)(BEPC) Brookfield Renewable has exposure to hydroelectric, solar, wind, battery storage, and nuclear power… The assets… are spread across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. If you are looking for a simple way to participate in the shift toward clean energy, Brookfield Renewable is a good choice… The one wrinkle is that you can buy Brookfield Renewable in two different ways. The partnership share class offers a distribution yield of 5.2% while the corporate share class has a dividend yield of 3.8%. They represent the same business and have the same dividend payment; the difference is that the corporate shares are in higher demand among institutional investors. Small investors should feel comfortable with the partnership. 2) NextEra Energy is a giant in two businesses (NEE) NextEra Energy operates one of the largest regulated electric utilities in the United States. That is the foundation on which it has built one of the largest solar and wind power businesses in the world. This combination has led to 11% annualized dividend growth over the past decade. Half that rate of dividend growth would be considered good for a utility. NextEra Energy's dividend yield is 2.7%, which is actually above the utility average of nearly 2.5%... That said, management is calling for dividend growth to slow to a still very healthy 6% in 2027 and 2028. 3) TotalEnergies mixes the old with the new (TTE) TotalEnergies will be the hardest sell as a clean energy investment because it is an integrated energy giant. That means that it is a vertically integrated oil and natural gas business. If you only want clean energy, you probably won't want to buy TotalEnergies." End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 11 Best Ethical Companies to Invest In Now According to Reddit from insidermonkey.com My second article has some unusual investing options for many investors coming to my podcasts. It's titled 11 Best Ethical Companies to Invest In Now According to Reddit from insidermonkey.com and is by Noor Ul Ain Rehman. Here are some quotes from the article. "We first sifted through relevant threads on Reddit to compile a list of the best ethical companies and then selected the top 11 that were the most popular among elite hedge funds as of Q3 2025. We sourced the hedge fund data from Insider Monkey's database. The stocks are ranked in ascending order of hedge fund sentiment… All data was recorded on March 17… ​Our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. 11. The Hershey Company (NYSE:HSY) Morgan Stanley lifted the price target on The Hershey Company to $247 from $238 on March 16, maintaining an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm told investors that it believes the market is overly focused on pricing rollback risk and is underestimating the earnings recovery from cocoa normalization beginning in the second half of 2026 and accelerating into 2027. 10. Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (NASDAQ:CTSH) On March 16, Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation announced the launch of Cognizant AI Factory, which is a multi-tenant, enterprise-grade offering powered by Dell Technologies (DELL) and NVIDIA AI (NVDA) infrastructure and software platform. Management stated that the Cognizant AI Factory is designed to help organizations scale artificial intelligence more securely, efficiently, and responsibly, and aims at unifying the management of the AI lifecycle in a single environment. 9. Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NASDAQ:KMB) Piper Sandler cut the price target on Kimberly-Clark to $114 from $133 on March 13 and maintained an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm told investors that the company's Q1 top-line momentum is tracking in line with what it had expected, with costs hedged roughly nine months out, securing roughly the balance of 2026. However, Piper also stated that if increased oil costs persist, there could be a risk to the outlook for 2027… Kimberly-Clark sells its products under various brands, including Kleenex, Scott, Cottonelle, DryNites, Huggies, and others. 8. Ecolab Inc. (NYSE:ECL) March 16, Ecolab was upgraded to Buy from Hold by Berenberg, with the firm adjusting the price target on the stock to $326 from $300. Berenberg told investors in a research note that (Ecolab) will raise prices across all products, services, and geographies by 10%-14%, adding that it anticipates the price increases to be implemented swiftly and become a 'sticky component of Ecolab's structural pricing, rather than being rolled back'. The firm views Ecolab as a net inflation beneficiary… Ecolab offers hygiene, water, and infection prevention solutions and services. 7. FedEx Corporation (NYSE:FDX) On March 10, JPMorgan lifted the price target on FedEx to $424 from $294 while maintaining a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm told investors that it updated the company's model ahead of the earnings report. 6. Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN) TD Cowen cut the price target on Accenture to $275 from $282 on March 16, maintaining a Buy rating on the shares. The firm told investors that it updated its model ahead of the fiscal Q2 results, saying that, considering raised macro uncertainty and no clear end in sight with the Iran conflict, it believes that it is now reasonable that Accenture could just leave its FY26 growth guide as is… Accenture is a global professional services company that combines technology and leadership in data, cloud, and AI with functional expertise, industry experience, and global delivery capability. 5. Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) March 16, Salesforce, announced the commencement of the prepayment and initial delivery of around 103 million shares under its previously announced $25 billion accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements. The company entered into these agreements on March 11, 2026, with certain financial institutions. Management stated that the transaction marks the largest accelerated share repurchase in history, and represents the immediate execution of half of the $50 billion aggregate Share Repurchase Program authorized by Salesforce's Board of Directors in February 2026. Salesforce, designs and develops cloud-based enterprise software for customer relationship management. 4. ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) ServiceNow, was upgraded to Outperform from Neutral by BNP Paribas on March 16, with the firm setting a $140 price target. The rating update came the same day ServiceNow, announced an expansion of its partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp. to extend availability to the ServiceNow AI Platform across Carahsoft's full reseller ecosystem in the U.S. and Canada… ServiceNow, offers an AI platform for business transformation, boosting productivity and maximizing business outcomes. 3.

Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This is Biosnap AI, and over the past few days Michael Phelps has quietly added a major new chapter to his post‑pool identity while still serving up the kind of celebrity moments fans love. The most biographically significant development is that Sports Illustrated, in a Business Wire release and follow up coverage from outlets like the Times of India and Boardroom, announced Phelps will receive the Muhammad Ali Legacy Award at the Sportsperson of the Year ceremony at Wynn Las Vegas on January 6, 2026. Sports Illustrated describes him as the most decorated Olympian of all time and now a global mental health advocate, honoring a decade of work through the Michael Phelps Foundation and his public candor about depression and anxiety. This puts Phelps in the same elite club as Billie Jean King and Allyson Felix, a long term legacy marker that will live in his biography long after any single race split is forgotten. On the softer‑focus side, Phelps has been back in the celebrity cross‑currents of the NBA. Marca and the Times of India report that he attended a recent Los Angeles Lakers game with his sons, waiting in the tunnel like any starstruck dad. LeBron James not only stopped for photos and handshakes with the boys but, according to Marca, lingered to talk golf, complimenting Phelps swing and joking about playing a round together. Phelps later amplified the moment on Instagram, thanking LeBron for taking time with what he called his little homies. These interactions are confirmed by mainstream sports outlets and social media posts from the scene; any talk of an actual Phelps‑LeBron golf match is, at this stage, fan speculation. In football‑crossover news, Pro Football Network notes Phelps recently praised Shaquille ONeals surprising speed in a promotional swim race between the two, another light but visible reminder that hes still a go to name whenever producers need the ultimate aquatic benchmark. Behind the scenes in the business of sport, Sports Business Journal has included Phelps among its Influence 125 figures, framing him less as a retired swimmer and more as a durable force in sponsorship, youth programming, and mental health advocacy. There are no credible reports of a competitive swimming comeback or major new business venture in the last few days beyond these honors and appearances; any such claims circulating on fringe social media accounts remain unverified.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Michael Phelps has taken center stage again in October 2025, proving his post-swimming influence goes far beyond the pool. Just days ago, his name popped up in major headlines as a featured keynote speaker for the upcoming Goldman Sachs 10000 Small Businesses Summit set for October 29-30 in Washington DC. According to BusinessWire, Phelps will join the likes of Goldman CEO David Solomon and other high-profile guests, reaffirming his place among the most sought-after athlete-advocates. With this appearance, he continues his dual legacy as an elite athlete and an influential public voice on mental health and entrepreneurship, highlighting his ongoing work with the Michael Phelps Foundation and his investment in health-focused ventures like Talkspace. The Times of India reports that Phelps' business acumen has already earned him an estimated 100 million dollar net worth, built largely on top-flight endorsements and clever business partnerships with brands like Speedo Under Armour and more. Fresh buzz has surrounded his humorous confessions about Olympic medals as well. EssentiallySports and other outlets had fun revisiting his playful indifference to the medals that aren't gold—Phelps revealed in a recent podcast clip that he lost track of a non-gold Olympic medal for years only to find it tucked away in his advisors office. He lightheartedly admitted that only he and his wife Nicole really know where all the medals are stashed, keeping the world guessing about his iconic hardware's true hiding spot. On social media, this candid transparency about the meaning of success continues to win Phelps cool points with fans and fuels the conversation around athlete mental health. CBS News Pittsburgh also relayed that Phelps has kept a high national profile, with media mentions stretching from the International Swimming League to nostalgic Olympic retrospectives and TV segments where his legendary resume resurfaces every time a new American swimmer chases greatness. While there have been no major personal controversies or negative headlines, Phelps has remained fiercely private about his home life with his wife Nicole Johnson and their four sons in Arizona. For business watchers, his name was again linked last week to Harpoon Ventures, where he continues to play an advisory role supporting emerging startups, as reported by TradedVC. As October unfolds, the long-term significance of Phelps' current focus on mental health, business leadership, and candid storytelling suggests that his biography's next chapter is still very much in active development, with every stage appearance and headline feeding his ongoing evolution from Olympic legend to global ambassador.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Michael Phelps has made fresh waves this week with news that is making both business and sports headlines. The legendary Olympian will soon be a headline speaker at the 2025 Goldman Sachs 10000 Small Businesses Summit in Washington D.C. at the end of October. This event—touted as the largest gathering of small business owners in the nation—will see Phelps take the stage alongside names like David Solomon and Michael Bloomberg. The official advisory from Goldman Sachs describes Phelps not just as a 23-time Olympic gold medalist but now also as a mental health advocate and founder of the Michael Phelps Foundation, amplifying his long-term role as an inspiration well beyond the pool. This summit is spotlighting his elevation as a prominent voice for entrepreneurial leadership and mental wellness among America's business elite according to Goldman Sachs and Business Wire.Meanwhile, social media has been having a little fun with a less-glamorous but humanizing angle. A trending post on Threads from October 8 notes that Phelps apparently cares so little about his silver and bronze Olympic medals that he once lost track of where one of them was for years—fans have reacted with a mix of admiration for his singular focus on gold and gentle ribbing at his relaxed attitude toward anything less than first place.In the realm of family and personal life, a new dimension surfaced from Nicole Phelps' appearance on the TODAY show in October. Nicole shared insights into their family's growth, especially after the birth of their fourth son, Nico. She recounted the initial shock and emotional journey of welcoming their “bonus baby” and expressed gratitude that he is now healthy and thriving. This candid discussion has made headlines on AOL and PEOPLE, resonating with many parents facing surprises and adjustments as families expand.There are no major reports in the past few days concerning new athletic achievements or product endorsements from Michael himself, though background sources like Sports Player TV continue to highlight his business ventures in mental health tech, such as his investment in the Talkspace app, and acknowledge his net worth at approximately 100 million dollars. While Phelps has in the past been engaged in headline deals with sports brands and launched his own swimwear with Aqua Sphere, no new consumer campaigns or business launches have been verified this week.Public appearances are centering on his upcoming role at the Goldman Sachs summit, suggesting a pivot in the long-term narrative of Michael Phelps—from world-beating athlete to influential advocate for mental health and entrepreneurship on the national stage. Fans and commentators are watching closely to see how his impact continues to evolve. Other mentions of Michael Phelps across media this week are either recirculating legacy stories or focusing on his status as a sports icon. No speculative or unverified rumors have surfaced with credible traction.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone's public life has continued at full throttle these past few days, balancing tours, fresh business ventures, and his complicated relationships—all set against the backdrop of persistent fandom and occasional drama. Most immediately, his global status as a touring juggernaut is front and center as he prepares to headline Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London tomorrow night, September 21, a major leg on his BIG ASS World Tour according to setlist.fm. This stadium push across Europe follows an insanely successful North America run, reportedly drawing over one million fans per IQ Magazine, and will ultimately extend to India, marking his debut in that country's live concert scene—potentially a biographically transformative move if the South Asian music market continues to expand.Looking forward, news broke this week that Post has secured his place as a top country crossover star by being named the first official headliner for the 2026 Barefoot Country Music Fest in Wildwood, New Jersey, with the festival enthusiastically touting his booking as a coup per Cat Country 107.3 and the official BCMF site. This cementing of his country credentials is long-term significant as he goes from genre-defier to genre-conquering artist.Meanwhile, in business, Post Malone's continued pivot toward entrepreneurship grabbed headlines with Sesh+, a high-profile nicotine pouch startup, closing a $40 million funding round. Malone is publicly listed as a strategic investor, joining Diplo and other entertainment industry heavyweights. His statement, “Sesh is smooth, it just hits right,” was featured in Business Wire, underlining both his financial stake and his public alignment with evolving adult consumer trends in nicotine, notably away from traditional tobacco.On the relationship front, speculation continues about Post's private life. Just Jared, IMDb, and AOL all report that he has moved on after his breakup with Christy Lee, most recently being photographed in Milan with Russian influencer Diana Korkunova, stoking rumors of a new romance. For now, neither Post nor Korkunova has confirmed the relationship, so details remain unverified—though social media is trading plenty of conjecture and paparazzi photos.Not all attention has been welcome. The True Crime Society Blog reports this week that a Utah woman, Cherish Gomer, has now been arrested five times in 2025 for stalking Malone, breaching existing injunctions by showing up at his private residence and refusing to leave. This troubling saga is raising concerns about the safety and privacy challenges facing global celebrities in the digital age.As for wider pop culture impact, Post's recent MTV VMAs performance alongside top stars like Doja Cat and Jelly Roll, covered by The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, continues to fuel his social media presence, with fans and outlets dissecting every meme, look, and setlist prompt. All of this ensures that whether he is on the festival marquee, boardroom, or sharing rumored Parisian PDA, Post Malone remains one of music's most scrutinized, versatile, and unpredictable talents.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Why is it that when someone says self-care, I have to keep my eyes from rolling into the back of my head? Why does it feel like it doesn't mean what it's supposed to mean anymore? Is it really the answer to ALL of our problems? And does it even help to tell women who are already exhausted and already have more shit than they can handle to do more self-care? I don't know, friend. But we're going to talk about it. Our guest is Dr. Christine Coleman, the Founder and CEO of POC Thriving, a private practice specializing in the intersection of mental health and inclusion, as well as the Executive Director of Sol Sisters Inc., a nonprofit with a mission to help diverse women overcome societal barriers by providing educational and empowering experiences that promote their personal and professional evolution. Working with companies like Pinterest, Business Wire, Mulesoft by Salesforce, and the Major League Baseball Network, Dr. Christine focuses on mental health, inclusivity, and belonging initiatives so organizations can better prioritize the psychological well-being and retention of their employees. Prioritizing yourself, and taking time to care for yourself sends you and others a message about your self-worth. You're teaching yourself and others how you deserve to be treated. And it radiates into all areas of your life. We're not meant to be running on fumes… we get to find the fuel we need.

Welcome to Season Five of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast! On the season premiere of Momentum, we had the privilege of being joined by Secretary Julián Castro, the newly appointed CEO of the Latino Community Foundation. In this conversation hosted by Cathy Albisa, Race Forward's Vice President of Institutional and Sectoral Change, Cathy and Secretary Castro engage in a wide-ranging conversation about his vision for enhancing civic and economic power within Latino/a communities that will in turn, positively impact the broader multiracial electorate and the push to fight back against authoritarianism. Secretary Castro talks about his new role at the Latino Community Foundation, and the foundation's mission to build a movement of civically engaged and philanthropic leaders, and the significance of investing in Latino-led organizations to unlock the full potential of Latino/a communities. He states powerfully, “America's destiny and the destiny of Latinos are intertwined like never before.” He also emphasizes how investing in these organizations at the forefront of changing policies will have the added benefit of addressing economic disparities and decreasing the wealth gap for Latino/a communities. Having had a storied career in politics, as well as a memorable run as a presidential candidate, Secretary Castro provided us with his raw insights on topics related to our racial justice work from the federal level. As the former US Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in former President Obama's administration, he notes the current lack of federal resources committed to creating housing opportunities and a need for a comprehensive approach to be able to tackle the nationwide crisis effectively. He also talks passionately about the longtime need for humane and compassionate immigration policies –– a debate he notes is continuously fueled by both political parties being influenced by “darker” narratives, and the importance of uplifting Last year, Secretary Castro and Stacey Abrams co-authored an article titled, “It's Open Season on Civil Rights. Philanthropy Must Not Retreat”, in response to significant backlash on racial justice and equity organizations. Speaking to the theme of the article, Secretary Castro once again urges philanthropic leaders to remain committed to funding the bold work needed to continue the movement making and democracy building needed in these times where authoritarianism threatens to afflict the progress our movements have won. He advocates for a dual role where foundations are not only financial supporters but also rooted in understanding and addressing community needs through policy advocacy. With the next election coming up less than six months away, Secretary Castro and the Latino Community Foundation will be hard at work mobilizing Latino/a voters and having representation at the polls as they are once again set to play a pivotal role in determining the outcome of the election. Secretary Castro's call to action to support organizing 24/7, 365 days a year, beyond the current election cycle is a reminder of the long term-investment and planning that goes into the wins working in partnership with our communities. Thank you for joining us for the season premiere of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast, and make sure to follow Race Forward on social media on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter/X, and to support our work, make a donation by texting RFPOD to 44-321.  Additional Resources: Announcing LCF's New CEO –– Latino Community Foundationhttps://bit.ly/3TYd2At Closing the Latino wealth gap: Exploring regional differences and lived experiences (via Brookings Institute)https://bit.ly/3xAoLwA The Latino Community Foundation Announces Get-Out-the-Vote Investments in California, Arizona, and Nevada Ahead of 2024 General Election (via Business Wire) https://bwnews.pr/3UgkXrE Eight Questions For Julian Castro, CEO Of The Latino Community Foundation (via Inside Philanthropy)https://bit.ly/4blSnwx Podcast –– The Democrat Saying What Others Won't (via The New York Times) https://bit.ly/3TUPjRo It's Open Season on Civil Rights.
