See the reconciliation of non-GAAP items in the attached financial schedules. "I'm very pleased with the business' constant currency operating profit growth of 13% and the margin expansion of 112 basis points—on its own, this is exciting. But, I'm more excited about our accomplishments to further our digital strategy through the acquisition of a leading credit card issuing platform – CoreCard - and the signing of a Ren agreement with one of the top three banks in the United States. The acquisition of CoreCard fits nicely with our Ren platform. As described in a separate press release, this is not just a credit issuing platform, it's a platform serving leading brands in the US, processing at scale, tried and tested. This premier product gives us yet more opportunity to go after the $10 billion issuing market where the market growth rates are much stronger outside the United States, which aligns strongly with our global business where more than 75% of our revenues are from outside the United States. Moreover, another exciting aspect of the issuing business is its margin opportunity, nearing 50 percent. It's these kinds of initiatives that have contributed to our 20-year double digit growth rate and will continue to drive future growth – focused on digital payments. This acquisition is directly in line with our strategy to shift a stronger mix of our business toward the digital economy. Not only did we advance our digital agenda with the credit issuing platform, we just signed an agreement with one of the top three banks in the United States for the deployment of our Ren ATM operating and switching product. While we have had many successes with Ren outside the US, this is not just the first agreement in the US we've signed, but it is with super impressive top-tiered bank – a real testament to the value proposition of Ren", said Michael J. Brown, Euronet's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.Segment and Other ResultsThe EFT Processing Segment reports the following results for the second quarter 2025 compared with the same period or date in 2024:Revenues of $338.5 million, an 11% increase from $305.4 million (6% increase on a constant currency basis).Operating income of $84.6million, a 6% increase from $79.9 million (1% increase on a constant currency basis).Adjusted EBITDA of $110.6 million, a 5% increase from $105.0 million (no change on a constant currency basis).Total of 57,326 installed ATMs as of June 30, 2025, a 5% increase from 54,736. We operated 56,760 active ATMs as of June 30, 2025, a 5% increase from 54,005 as of June 30, 2024.Constant currency revenue, operating income, and adjusted EBITDA growth in the second quarter 2025 was driven by market expansion, growth across most existing markets and the addition of access fees and an increase in interchange fees in certain markets. The epay Segment reports the following results for the Q2 2025 compared with the same period or date in 2024:Revenues of $280.1 million, a 7% increase from $260.9 million (5% increase on a constant currency basis).Operating income of $31.1 million, a 19% increase from $26.2 million (17% increase on a constant currency basis).Adjusted EBITDA of $32.8 million, a 17% increase from $28.0 million (15% increase on a constant currency basis).Transactions of 1,107 million, consistent with prior year.POS terminals of approximately 721,000 as of June 30, 2025, a 3% increase from 703,000.Retailer locations of approximately 354,000 as of June 30, 2025, a 4% increase from 340,000.Constant currency revenue growth was driven by continued payments and digital media growth. Operating income and adjusted EBITDA grew faster than revenue, driven by a shift in product mix and effective operating expense management. Transaction growth from payments and digital media was offset by a decrease in low margin mobile transactions in India.The Money Transfer Segment reports the following results for the Q2 2025 compared with the same period or date in 2024:Revenues of $457.9 million, a 9% increase from $421.8 million (6% increase on a constant currency basis).Operating income of $65.6 million, a 39% increase from $47.3 million (33% increase on a constant currency basis).Operating margin expansion of 296 basis pointsAdjusted EBITDA of $71.6 million, a 33% increase from $54.0 million (28% increase on a constant currency basis).Total transactions of 46.1 million, a 4% increase from 44.3 million.Total digital transactions of 5.8 million, a 29% increase from 4.5 million.Network locations of approximately 631,000 as of June 30, 2025, an 8% increase from approximately 586,000.Constant currency revenue growth was primarily driven by growth in cross-border transactions, partially offset by a decrease in intra-US transactions. Direct-to-consumer digital transactions grew by 29%, reflecting continued consumer demand for digital products. Operating income and adjusted EBITDA growth outpaced revenue growth due to gross margin expansion and leverage of scale. Additionally, the Money Transfer segment continued to expand both its market footprint through the acquisition of a 60% interest in Kyodai Remittance as well as its industry leading global payments network to now reach 4.1 billion bank accounts, 3.2 billion wallet accounts and 631,000 payment locations.Corporate and Other reports $22.7 million of expense for the second quarter 2025 compared with $19.1 million for the second quarter 2024. The increase in corporate expenses is largely from the increase in long-term share-based compensation.Balance Sheet and Financial PositionUnrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand was $1,329.3 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $1,393.6 million as of March 31, 2025. Total indebtedness was $2,438.1 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $2,202.5 million as of March 31, 2025. Availability under the Company's revolving credit facilities was approximately $884.2 million as of June 30, 2025. The change in net cash is the result of cash generated from operations, working capital fluctuations and share repurchases of $2.3 million shares for $247 million during the second quarter.OutlookTaking into consideration recent trends in the business and the global economy, the Company anticipates its 2025 adjusted EPS will grow 12% to 16% year-over-year, consistent with its 10- and 20-year compounded annualized growth rates. This outlook does not include any changes that may develop in foreign exchange rates, interest rates or other unforeseen factors.Non-GAAP MeasuresIn addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company presents non-GAAP financial measures, such as constant currency financial measures, operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share. These measures should be used in addition to, and not a substitute for, revenues, operating income, net income and earnings per share computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's performance and overall results of operations. These non-GAAP measures are also an integral part of the Company's internal reporting and performance assessment for executives and senior management. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The attached schedules provide a full reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.The Company does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for GAAP and the related GAAP and non-GAAP reconciliation, including adjustments that would be necessary for foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and other charges reflected in the Company's reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant. (1) Constant currency financial measures are computed as if foreign currency exchange rates did not change from the prior period. This information is provided to illustrate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's results when compared to the prior period.(2) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding, to the extent incurred in the period, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and other non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, non-operating or non-recurring items that are considered expenses or income under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.(3) Adjusted earnings per share is defined as diluted U.S. GAAP earnings per share excluding, to the extent incurred in the period, the tax-effected impacts of: a) foreign currency exchange gains or losses, b) share-based compensation, c) acquired intangible asset amortization, d) non-cash income tax expense, e) non-cash investment gain f) other non-operating or non-recurring items and g) dilutive shares relate to the Company's convertible bonds. Adjusted earnings per share represent a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.

Cadence To Pay $140 Million For Selling Chip Design Tech To Blacklisted Chinese University Authored by Bill Pan via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),Cadence Design Systems, a leading developer of electronic design automation (EDA) software and hardware, has agreed to pay a $140 million fine to settle claims that it illegally sold semiconductor design technology to a Chinese military university on the U.S. government’s export blacklist.The logo of Cadence Design Systems outside the company's offices in San Jose, Calif., on Jan. 31, 2020. Stephen Nellis/ReutersThe San Jose-based technology company admitted wrongdoing as part of a plea agreement announced on July 28 by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California.In the agreement, Cadence admitted to selling $45.3 million worth of export-controlled products and services to China’s National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) without a license to do so. The university, established and supervised by the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Military Commission, was added to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Entity List in 2015 for using American-origin components to build supercomputers to simulate nuclear blasts and other military activities.According to prosecutors, from February 2015 to April 2021, employees of Cadence’s China-based subsidiary sold and installed EDA hardware to NUDT’s campus. University personnel were also able to download EAD software and intellectual property from Cadence’s portals, even though Cadence employees knew NUDT was a blacklisted entity.Internal company communications revealed that Cadence employees were informed by their export control officer on the day NUDT was added to the Entity List, prosecutors said. Nevertheless, they continued working with a front company known as CSCC, an alias for NUDT.In one instance, Cadence’s then-head of sales in China instructed colleagues to refer to their customer as CSCC in English and NUDT only in Chinese characters to obscure the nature of the transactions, writing that “the subject [was] too sensitive,” according to prosecutors.Cadence has agreed to pay nearly $118 million in criminal penalties. In parallel, the Commerce Department resolved a civil enforcement action with Cadence, resulting in an additional $95 million in civil fines.As part of a coordinated settlement, the Departments of Justice and Commerce agreed to credit a portion of Cadence’s payments toward the other agency’s fines. After accounting for cross-crediting, Cadence will pay more than $140 million in combined criminal and civil penalties and asset forfeitures.In addition, the company has agreed to a three-year probationary period, during which it must enhance export compliance protocols, cooperate with any ongoing investigations, and submit to government audits every year.U.S. Attorney Craig H. Missakian of the Northern District of California called the settlement a “positive step” toward demonstrating “corporate responsibility.”“Export controls safeguard America’s advanced technological know-how from falling into the wrong hands, which is particularly important in the Silicon Valley as the epicenter of groundbreaking innovation,” Missakian said in a statement.In a notice filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Cadence said it is “pleased to have reached these settlements” and “believes they are in the best interests of Cadence, its customers and its stockholders.”The plea agreement still needs a federal judge’s approval.China remains the world’s largest market for semiconductors and related technologies, but rising national security concerns have led to increased scrutiny and restrictions on American firms doing business there.Some of those restrictions have been relaxed recently. Earlier this month, the Commerce Department told Cadence, Synopsys, and Germany’s Siemens that it was lifting the requirement to obtain a license before exporting EDA tools to China.The policy change comes as part of the agreement reached during trade talks in London and Geneva, aimed at easing trade tensions and rolling back escalating tariffs. In return, China agreed to resume exports of rare earth elements and the magnets made from them, which are critical to both defense and high-tech manufacturing industries.

The S&P 500 gave up earlier gains and closed lower after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled the central bank isn’t ready to cut rates, as it assesses the impact of President Donald Trump’s higher tariff levels on the inflation picture.The broad market index slipped 0.1%, after gaining 0.4% earlier in the session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 171 points, or 0.4%. The Nasdaq Composite lost 0.2%.Investors parsed Powell’s comments at a press conference for insights into the Fed’s next move — after it didn’t budge on rates following its July meeting. Powell said that the central bank has “made no decisions” about a potential policy change in September.“Our obligation is to keep longer term inflation expectations well anchored and to prevent a one time increase in the price level from becoming an ongoing inflation problem,” Powell said. “Higher tariffs have begun to show through more clearly to prices of some goods, but their overall effects on economic activity and inflation remain to be seen.”The comments poured cold water on traders hoping for a rate cut in September and at least another decrease before the year is out. Treasury yields jumped as Powell signaled it may take a bit to assess the effect of tariffs on consumer prices.The central bank’s decision to keep rates the same was not unanimous, however, with Fed governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller dissenting. Both were in favor of a quarter-point cut at the current policy meeting.“Powell isn’t buckling under the political pressure to cut rates, so markets needed to reprice the overall level of the Fed Funds rate going out a few months,” said Jamie Cox, managing partner at Harris Financial Group. “The reaction function wasn’t that bad, largely because it’s clear where rates are headed, despite Powell’s current ability to enforce the wait and see.”It was the second day off losses for Wall Street following a streak of seven record highs for the S&P 500. Major averages started the day mostly in the green, encouraged by a better-than-expected GDP report that signaled to some that the economy was weathering higher tariff rates.The post-Fed losses were led by consumer-focused stocks like Home Depot, which could benefit from lower rates.Tariff effects on inflation still need to be seen, Powell saysJonathan Ernst | ReutersU.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell gestures during a press conference following the issuance of the Federal Open Market Committee’s statement on interest rate policy in Washington, D.C., U.S., July 30, 2025. The Fed can keep the interest rate steady while waiting to see if tariff policy pushes up inflation, Powell said.“Higher tariffs have begun to show through more clearly to prices of some goods, but their overall effects on economic activity and inflation remain to be seen,” Powell said.Powell said a “reasonable base case” could be that effects to inflation will be “short lived.” But he also cautioned that levies could cause inflationary changes that are “more persistent.”“Our obligation is to keep longer term ... inflation expectations well anchored and to prevent a one-time increase in the price level from becoming an ongoing inflation problem,” Powell said.“For the time being, we’re well positioned to learn more about the likely course of the economy and the evolving balance of risks before adjusting our policy stance,” he added. “We see our current policy stance as appropriate to guard against inflation risks.”— Alex HarringDivided Fed keeps rates unchangedThe Fed kept monetary policy unchanged, as was widely expected. However, two central bank officials — Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman — dissented in the decision, pushing for the Fed to cut the overnight rate by 0.25 percentage point. This was the first time since 1993 that the Fed’s policy decision was met with so much dissent. — Fred ImbertJobs report could trump Fed decision, says UBSGabby Jones | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesA “We’re Hiring” sign displayed at a Taco Bell restaurant in New York, US, on Wednesday, July 29, 2025. Investors are focusing on macro drivers right now, but they shouldn’t dismiss the Federal Reserve’s comments at the close of its meeting Wednesday, according to UBS.“The common thinking in markets seems to be that the Jul employment report on 1 Aug could trump the rate decision in terms of market impact, as it will provide more timely information on the monetary policy outlook,” strategist Alvise Marino wrote in a note Wednesday.“While we acknowledge this, we also think that how the FOMC today characterizes factors such as robust corporate earnings or the ongoing easing in financial conditions will matter for the market’s perception of the Fed’s independence,” he added.President Donald Trump has been pushing Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut rates, but the central bank is unlikely to do so right now.“The risk we see is that any signals from the FOMC statement or from Chair Powell that are perceived as increasing the odds of a Sep cut could be interpreted as concessions to political pressure, given that the economic picture does not seem to clearly call for policy easing,” Marino said.— Michelle FoxOppenheimer upgrades regional bank PNC to outperformIn a Wednesday note, Oppenheimer upgraded shares of regional bank PNC Financial Services Group to an outperform rating from perform.Shares of PNC have added less than 1% this year. Oppenheimer’s $238 price target implies an upside of 23% ahead.“The shares have lagged both the banks and the broader market in the past year, but we see PNC as a well-managed, high-quality and consistently profitable regional banking company,” wrote Oppenheimer analysts Chris Kotowski and John Coffey.The analysts also like PNC from an industry backdrop at this point. Commercial banks make more sense than investment banks, which are still taking a hit from somewhat muted investment bank revenues, they said.“We have two sets of themes that lead us to prefer the plain vanilla ‘coupon-clipping’ commercial banks to the more transactional investment banks at this juncture,” Kotowski and Coffey said. “We see the commercial banks benefiting from five little things that should allow them to generate double-digit earnings growth in the year ahead: fixed asset repricing should boost NII growth above loan growth, loan growth slowly improving, card losses peaking, buybacks accelerating as capital ratios have been built, and eking out productivity gains.”Shares of PNC were trading marginally higher on Wednesday.— Lisa Kailai HanBuy the dip on PayPal as economics remain ‘attractive,’ analyst saysInvestors should buy the dip in PayPal shares, which sold off far too much on the back of its second-quarter results, says Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev.Dolev kept his outperform rating on PayPal and lowered his price target by $3 to $84, which implies 17.6% potential upside from the the stock’s latest close. Shares of the fintech company are down nearly 8% week to date and more than 16.5% year to date, with losses accelerating this week after PayPal on Tuesday reported slowing growth in transaction margin dollars.“Our analysis, which triangulates into core PayPal button growth based on disclosures around other branded components like BNPL and Pay with Venmo, suggests that core branded growth actually improved relative to 1Q levels,” Dolev wrote in a note. “Plus, we remind investors that the BNPL/Pay with Venmo components of branded checkout come at attractive economics – we estimate that Pay with Venmo’s transaction margins can be ~1.5x that of companywide levels.”— Pia SinghSpotify is a buy after earnings miss, Deutsche Bank Research saysDavid Tramontan | Lightrocket | Getty ImagesInvestors should buy the dip after Spotify Technology‘s earnings miss, according to Deutsche Bank Research.Shares of the music streaming service dropped more than 11% Tuesday, its worst day going back to July 2023, after Spotify’s results from its most recent quarter and current quarter guidance disappointed expectations.Yet Benjamin Black, research analyst at Deutsche Bank Research, said the slide is an opportunity for investors. The company, which boasts robust engagement among users, will likely raise its prices before year end, a potential catalyst for the stock, he said.“We see a buying opportunity here,” wrote Black, adding, “SPOT beat MAU and Premium subs expectations; engagement continues to be robust, and free-to-paid conversion is trending higher. This creates the opportunity for SPOT to lean into price increases that could include both music and non-music content (which have higher gross margins).”— Sarah MinStocks open little changed Stocks opened little changed on Wednesday, as investors await the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision and more corporate earnings.The S&P 500 inched up 0.09%, while the Nasdaq Composite added 0.2%.

So, we suspect expectations for earnings and valuations could rise further, perhaps quite a bit for the ‘tech’ sectors, even if that meant the rally narrowed further,” Capital Economics wrote.The researcher acknowledged that its 6,250 end of 2025 forecast for the S&P “might be a bit too pessimistic,” while its end of 2026 forecast of 7,000 “seems as though it could plausibly come a bit sooner than we had anticipated. Of course, there’s still a fair amount of remaining uncertainty, not least around the U.S.-China negotiations and how it all feeds through to the U.S. and global economies.”The broad-based nature of the recent rally in stocks is also cause for optimism, Mathews said. “Although IT and industrials have clearly led the way,” six of the 11 main sectors in the S&P 500 are higher now than they were at the prior market top in February, and two others are very close. “Most have seen upward revisions to earnings expectations, too.”— Scott SchnipperSee the stocks moving in extended tradingThese are some of the stocks making notable moves in after-hour trading:Starbucks — The coffee chain’s shares added 3% in extended trading after revenue for the fiscal third quarter came in higher than expected.

Colorectal Cancer Rising Among People Under 50: American Medical Association Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),Younger people are increasingly being diagnosed with colorectal cancer, a disease typically associated with people age 50 and older, the American Medical Association (AMA) said in a July 24 report.A colonoscopy is common colorectal cancer screening option. Lost Mountain Studio, Photoroyalty/ShutterstockColorectal cancer, which includes both colon and rectal cancers, is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, even though overall incidence rates have declined since the 1980s, the AMA said.Among people younger than 50, “the number of incidences has increased by about 2 percent per year,” the association said. “The death rate in the same population has risen 1 percent annually.”The chief research officer of The Permanente Medical Group, Doug Corley, said in the report that colorectal cancer was a substantial problem that causes “a lot of mortality ... and morbidity.”While researchers cannot identify the exact reasons behind the rise in colorectal cancer among young people, being overweight or obese is known to increase the risk of various cancer types, he said, adding that changes in bacteria inside a person’s gut can also contribute to cancer risk.A study presented at the Digestive Disease Week 2024 in May last year raised similar concerns.The study analyzed data from a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention database to determine incidence rates of colorectal cancer between 1999 and 2020.The changes in colorectal cancer incidence rates for each age group were:Ages 10 to 14: increased by 500 percentAges 15 to 19: increased by 333 percentAges 20 to 24: increased by 185 percentAges 25 to 29: increased by 68 percentAges 30 to 34: increased by 71 percentAges 35 to 39: increased by 58 percentAges 40 to 44: increased by 45 percent“This data reveals some very concerning trends, particularly in our younger population who do not typically come to mind when considering CRC (colorectal cancer) screening for patients,” Dr. Islam Mohamed, the study’s lead author, said in a statement at the time.In the July 24 AMA statement, Corley said that since older people are being screened regularly for colorectal cancer, the total number of cases, including both younger and older individuals, was declining.“If we weren’t doing screening, we would probably be seeing an increase in older people too,” he said. “As people get screened, we find and remove pre-cancerous polyps. That decreases their future risk of cancer.”The American Cancer Society currently recommends that people with an average risk of colorectal cancer start regular screening at the age of 45.People are considered to have an average risk if they have no personal or family history of colorectal cancer, no personal history of inflammatory bowel disease, no suspected or confirmed hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome, and no history of radiation exposure to the abdomen or pelvic area to treat a prior cancer.“The most effective thing we have is screening,” Corley said. “It’s so impactful compared to most other medical interventions.”How colorectal cancer develops from polyps. Illustration by The Epoch TimesFIT Versus ColonoscopyIn a July 2024 study published by the JAMA Network, Corley and colleagues analyzed data from 10,711 individuals to determine the effectiveness of the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) to screen for colorectal cancer.It found that completing a FIT screening was associated with a “reduction in risk of dying from colorectal cancer of approximately 33 percent overall, and there was a 42 percent lower risk for left colon and rectum cancers.”A one-third reduction in mortality is “a pretty substantial decrease,” Corley said. “We would anticipate it to be even stronger over time or with more frequent screening, such as the recommended once a year screening with FIT.”FIT is different from colonoscopy, the most common form of colon cancer screening.A colonoscopy provides a doctor with a direct look inside a patient’s colon. The procedure requires the person to take a day off to prepare their bowel for the process. The patient must be sedated during the procedure.In contrast, a FIT looks for small amounts of blood in stool, Corley said.“It’s very helpful because it’s noninvasive. It can be done at home. This provides multiple different modes of screening and increased patient choice,” he said.This flexibility allows for FIT tests to be conducted via mail in rural settings where people may not communicate regularly with their health care provider, he said.While a colonoscopy is usually done once every 10 years, FIT is recommended as an annual test, he said.Those who test positively on their FIT screening can then move to colonoscopy for a better diagnosis, according to the AMA.

The earthquake, which struck off the coast of Russia’s remote Kamchatka Peninsula early Wednesday, triggered evacuation orders in Hawaii and Japan. So far, Hawaii has so far “not seen a wave of consequence,” Hawaiian Governor Josh Green said Wednesday afternoon. Waves in Japan have ranged from 30 centimeters to 1.3 meters.A powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake off Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula has triggered tsunami warnings in Japan and several states in the western United States, including Hawaii, Alaska and California.The earthquake, which struck early Wednesday, triggered evacuation orders in Hawaii and Japan. The U.S. Coast Guard also ordered commercial vessels in harbors in Hawaii to evacuate.So far, Hawaii has “not seen a wave of consequence, which is a great relief to us,” Hawaiian Governor Josh Green told reporters during a press conference. He said Hawaii registered two waves through the Midway Atoll, one measuring 30 centimeters and the other 3 feet, he said.Green added that there was no major wave activity that was noticed past the “Big Island,” and that the state wouldn’t be “all clear” until two to three hours later. The conference was held at 8:20 p.m. local time.Japan issued tsunami warnings for much of its eastern coastline, and lower level “advisories” in other parts of the country, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.The agency estimated that a tsunami would strike Hokkaido, the area of Japan that is closest to the quake’s epicenter, at 10 a.m. Japan local time, with an estimated maximum height of 3 meters.Kiyomoto Masashi, an official from the Japan Meteorological Agency, cautioned people in coastal areas to move to higher ground, adding that tsunamis can occur for more than a day after the quake, according to local media.A tsunami that averaged 3 meters to 4 meters (10-13 feet) occurred in Kamchatka, Reuters reported, citing a Russian official.Waves in Japan have been smaller, ranging from 30 centimeters to 1.3 meters, with the highest at Kuji Port in Iwate Prefecture, according to Japanese national broadcaster NHK Japan.Several flights to Hawaii have returned to the U.S. mainland or been diverted, according to Hawaiian local media, citing a joint statement made by Hawaiian and Alaskan Airlines. Other flights have been put on hold as the carriers await more information, it said.“We are monitoring a tsunami warning for the Hawaiian Islands and portions of the state of Alaska and assessing our flight operations. We are holding flight departures to the Islands on Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines,” the carriers said in a joint statement, according to Hawaii News Now.All flights in and out of the Hawaiian island of Maui have been canceled, Green said during the press conference.A tsunami is a series of long ocean waves, with crests that can last from five to 15 minutes or longer, according to the Hawaii’s Maui County website. “The danger may persist for many more hours ... Tsunami waves efficiently wrap around islands so all shores are at risk no matter which direction they face,” it states.

A powerful magnitude 8.8 quake hit Russia’s far east Wednesday. The U.S.-China tariff truce extension is in limbo. Markets fall on stalled trade talks. Starbucks reports sixth straight quarter of same-store sales declines. Apple is likely to launch foldable iPhone in September 2026, predicts JPMorgan. Chinese AI companies are in demand and making money.The much-anticipated U.S.-China trade talks in Sweden turned out to be a letdown after they concluded Tuesday with no trade truce extension.Why? Any decision would have to be signed off by President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC.While Bessent told Trump on a call that the meeting with China was “very good,” U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods will “boomerang” back up to their April levels if an extension is not reached by the Aug. 12 deadline, the Treasury Secretary told reporters Tuesday.The trade teams will likely meet again in another 90 days, Bessent added.Investor sentiment took a hit, with mixed corporate earnings and forecasts compounding the gloom and sending markets lower after recent gains.There were some bright spots: Boeing narrowed its quarterly losses and Starbucks’ CEO Brian Niccol said the company was showing signs of a turnaround, despite reporting its sixth straight quarter of same-store sales declines. But warnings also emerged. UPS, often seen as a proxy for broader U.S. consumer activity, withheld forward guidance on revenue and operating profit, citing ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.All eyes now turn to the Federal Reserve, which concludes its policy meeting Wednesday.

Stellantis reported a first-half net loss of 2.3 billion euros ($2.65 billion), compared to a net profit of 5.6 billion euros over the same period in 2024. The Jeep maker updated its full-year tariff impact to roughly 1.5 billion euros, of which 300 million euros was incurred during the first half. Milan-listed shares of Stellantis traded lower during early moring deals.Auto giant Stellantis on Tuesday reinstated its financial guidance and touted a gradual recovery over the coming months.Stellantis, which owns household names including Jeep, Dodge, Fiat, Chrysler and Peugeot, reported a first-half net loss of 2.3 billion euros ($2.65 billion), compared to a net profit of 5.6 billion euros over the same period in 2024.The multinational conglomerate had flagged the first-half loss in a surprise trading update last week, saying at the time that the move was necessary due to the difference between consensus forecasts and the firm’s performance.Stellantis updated its full-year tariff impact to roughly 1.5 billion euros, of which 300 million euros was incurred during the first half of 2025.“My first weeks as CEO have reconfirmed my strong conviction that we will fix what’s wrong in Stellantis by capitalizing on everything that’s right in Stellantis – starting from the strength, energy and ideas of our people, combined with the great new products we are now bringing to market,” Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa said in a statement.“2025 is turning out to be a tough year, but also one of gradual improvement,” Filosa said.“Our new leadership team, while realistic about the challenges, will continue making the tough decisions needed to re-establish profitable growth and significantly improved results,” he added.Read moreA breakthrough and a burden? What the U.S.-EU trade deal means for the auto sectorJeep maker Stellantis warns of a shock $2.7 billion loss as tariffs biteTrump’s tariff relief won’t stop the bleeding for Japan’s automakers as bigger threat loomsLooking ahead, the company re-established financial guidance for the second half. It expects to see increased net revenues, low-single-digit adjusted operating income profitability and improved industrial free cash flow over the coming months.Stellantis’ financial guidance was based on an assumption that current tariff and trade rules will remain in place.It comes shortly after the U.S. and European agreed to a trade framework that means U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration will impose a blanket tariff of 15% on most EU goods.The deal represents a significant reduction from Trump’s threat to impose charges of 30% from Aug. 1 and almost halves the existing tariff rate on Europe’s auto sector from 27.5%.Automotive industry groups welcomed the breakthrough, particularly as it appears to avert a painful transatlantic trade war, but they also expressed deep concern about the costs associated with the new tariff reality.The company posted first-half net revenues of 74.3 billion euros, reflecting a 13% year-on-year drop, primarily driven by annual declines in North America, among other regions.Milan-listed shares of Stellantis traded as much as 4.5% lower during morning deals, before paring losses.

The Rise Of Zohran Mamdani: Why The Radical Left Is Doubling Down On Extreme Socialism Authored by Brandon Smith via BirchGold.com,Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old New York State Assembly member and self-described democratic socialist, stunned political insiders by clinching the June primary over establishment figures like Andrew Cuomo. His platform is unapologetically bold:An immediate freeze on rent for nearly two million rent-stabilized unitsA jump to a $30 minimum wage by 2030Publicly owned grocery stores in every boroughFree city busesSharply higher taxes on millionaires and corporationsMamdani has also courted controversy, refusing to denounce the phrase “globalize the Intifada” (he calls it a "human-rights slogan") and later insisting he “oppose[s] any incitement to violence.”He’s promised to use city power to enforce the International Criminal Court warrant and, in a May forum, labeled India’s Prime Minister Modi a “war criminal” over the Gujarat riots.Here's what I want you to notice: This is not policy tinkering. Rather, it's a strategic escalation.Mamdani’s rise reflects the classic arc of radicalization: Start with popular grievances, then double‐down into bold, uncompromising extremes.And for those watching closely, this is a familiar arc: We’re now face-to-face with Batman's nefarious arch-nemesis, The Joker, unleashed. The Joker's policies and rhetoric are designed to incite total chaos, in the hopes of entirely disrupting society.Joker politics: From order to chaosBatman, of course, represents unflinching law, order and justice. He's a vigilante, but a vigilante with more respect for the law than most police and politicians in his fictional realm of Gotham City. Batman serves as a potent conservative force, reining in excesses and punishing evildoers in a quest to make Gotham City a safer, better place for its citizens.The Joker, on the other hand, represents pure chaos and the unhinged, unadulterated desire for power. Not traditional power (the means to control) but a more primal force: The ancient power to corrupt and destroy. The Joker is a pure psychopath who believes his evil is universal and that normal people hide behind “social constructs” to avoid admitting they want to burn down the world just like he does. He revels in the despair of calamity and the fall of moral righteousness.I'm specifically reminded of Christopher Nolan's film Batman Begins in which Commissioner Gordon first warns Batman about “escalation” and reveals the calling card of the Joker:“What about escalation? ...We start carrying semi-automatics, they buy automatics. We start wearing Kevlar, they buy armor piercing rounds...”The left’s rules: Never admit, always escalateIn my analysis of the political left and their behavior I've noted many times that they seem random and chaotic but they do follow certain rules.Rule #1: Leftists never admit they are wrong.Rule #2: Leftists ALWAYS double down.In other words, when they think they are losing political power, they will escalate – not tactfully or with dialogue, but with increasingly radical proposals meant to overwhelm and destabilize. Diplomacy is not in their nature; domination is.This pattern of escalation is exactly why so many conservatives, moderates, and independents gravitated to Donald Trump. His blunt, unapologetic stance against the left’s chaos stood in stark contrast to the incrementalism of establishment politicians. After all, this same chaos gave us pandemic lockdowns, ideological indoctrination in public schools, unchecked street violence, and now a financial environment where interest payments on government debt are climbing by a trillion dollars every few months.Ask a committed leftist why they’re doing this, and you’ll rarely get a coherent policy rationale. Their answer, directly or indirectly, is usually some variation of: "burn it all down." That’s not hyperbole – it’s the ethos.And it’s precisely why Trump’s promise to take a wrecking ball to this agenda gained such traction.In the early days of this shift, the left didn’t quite know how to respond. Their sources of power – federal funding, NGOs, and corporate backing – began to dry up. Their sphere of influence shrank to deep-blue strongholds like L.A., New York, and Seattle, where progressive officials still shield them from the consequences of their actions.Which brings us back to New York. What we’re witnessing with the rising popularity of Zohran Mamdani isn’t just a last gasp. It’s a new wave of escalation.Doubling down on socialismFor years, Democrats avoided openly aligning with socialism, understanding that most Americans – even those on the left – view it with suspicion. The term itself was treated like political poison, and whenever conservatives raised concerns about creeping socialist or Marxist policies, they were dismissed as alarmists or conspiracy theorists.That tactic is now being abandoned. Increasingly, Democratic candidates and activists are embracing far-left economics and authoritarian state planning not as a hidden agenda, but as a central part of their platform. They’re not softening their rhetoric or disguising their goals – they're taking off their masks and leaning into the very ideologies they once denied.Zohran Mamdani is a case in point. Though initially criticized by party insiders as too extreme, his support continues to grow – particularly among young, urban progressives. His defenders argue that he’s bringing moral clarity to the conversation. But look closer at his policies and you’ll see a familiar pattern of failed central planning: rent freezes that reduce supply, punitive taxes that drive out investment, and costly housing programs that may take a decade to deliver results – if ever.The likely outcome? A mass exodus of middle- and upper-income earners, an eroding tax base, and declining services for those left behind. (It’s already happened in cities like San Francisco and Chicago.) Mamdani’s platform risks pushing New York down the same path.Still, instead of tapping the brakes, progressive media outlets are promoting him as the party’s future. And Democratic leaders, rather than correcting course after their 2024 collapse, seem ready to double down.Why? Because in their worldview, admitting error would violate Rule #1.What comes nextAgain, socialism, Marxism, and communism stand in direct opposition to the principles the left most despises: free markets, faith-based morality, national pride, and Western cultural heritage. Whether they realize it or not, many progressives are searching for a radical counterbalance to traditional American values—an ideological Joker to destroy what remains of our Batman institutions.Could they self-correct? Sure. They could admit their policies have failed, that their ideals are out of step with the majority, and that their efforts to deconstruct American norms have caused more harm than good. But that would mean violating Rule #1.So instead, as populist sentiment continues to build and Americans grow increasingly skeptical of globalist priorities, the left is likely to retreat further into ideological extremism. They may even gain short-term momentum. We've already seen it elsewhere:Canada: The backlash against Justin Trudeau’s failed leadership has not led to moderation but rather opened the door to Mark Carney – an economic globalist poised to carry the same agenda with a sharper edge.Germany: following frustration with center-left coalitions, far-left parties like Die Linke have gained traction by proposing radical redistribution schemes and aggressive climate mandates.Australia: the rise of the Greens and far-left independents in reaction to center-left Labor compromises has shifted national debates toward more radical territory.This pattern is global: when progressive leaders fail, the left doesn't pivot to moderation. They seek out even more uncompromising ideologues to carry their banner.This is the cycle: when progressivism fails, it doesn’t reform – it doubles down.So what does this mean for the rest of us?I believe it's prudent to prepare for both political and economic turbulence. Expect more civil unrest, more authoritarian proposals, and more erosion of economic freedom.But that doesn't mean we’re powerless.One of the most effective things individuals can do is protect their financial future from systemic instability. When institutions crumble or fiat currencies falter, history has shown that physical assets like gold and silver can help insulate savings from the chaos. While some prepare for societal collapse with bunkers and bug-out bags, the more strategic move may simply be this: transfer a portion of your wealth into something that doesn’t burn.In uncertain times, gold isn’t just a hedge – it’s Batman’s utility belt. It’s what you reach for when chaos reigns and the usual tools of defense no longer work. When the Joker lights the fuse, physical gold and silver serve as a fortress – real assets that endure, even in a world set ablaze by ideological arson. Tyler DurdenMon, 07/28/2025 - 22:35
