Photonics Emerges As the Next AI Infrastructure Trade: ETFs in Focus
GPUs have long been viewed as the critical bottleneck in artificial intelligence (AI), but attention is increasingly shifting toward data transmission. As GPU clusters scale to tens of thousands of chips for training massive foundation models, traditional copper connections face growing limitations in distance, speed and power consumption. Optical connectivity uses light instead of electrical signals, enabling data centers to support multi-terabit bandwidth with ultra-low latency and greater energy efficiency. Hence, photonics is increasingly replacing copper-based data transmission in support

Goldman Sachs to buy ETF provider Neos in $2.3 billion deal
Aug 12 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs will acquire exchange-traded funds provider Neos Investments for as much as $2.25 billion, as the investment bank looks to bolster its presence in asset management. Neos, which provides ETFs on systematic options-based income, managed $30 billion in assets across 19 funds as of June 30. Demand for such funds has surged of late, as institutions look to hedge portfolios with investments that help cushion drawdown risk in a volatile market environment. The Wall Street giant has pursued acquisitions in the actively managed ETF segment to diversify into asset management and capitalize on the growing demand. The investment bank completed the buyout of Innovator Capital, which also employs an options-based fund, earlier this year. Goldman's purchase of Neos, expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, will propel its active ETFs to $80 billion. (Reporting by Utkarsh Shetti in Bengaluru; Editing by Leroy Leo) View Comments

Goldman Sachs (GS) Stock May Be A Bargain On Earnings But Fairly Valued Overall
Find your next quality investment with Simply Wall St's easy and powerful screener, trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. Goldman Sachs Group stock has put in a very strong three year run, yet current valuation checks suggest the shares now sit closer to fair value than to a clear bargain. The Excess Returns intrinsic value estimate points to the stock being roughly in line with its assessed worth, while earnings based multiples still screen as supportive. Goldman Sachs Group has returned 228.6% over the past 3 years, which sets a high bar for any further upside to be justified by fundamentals. Recent strength in equity trading, dealmaking and new products such as premium income ETFs can support earnings expectations, but legal and conduct issues highlighted by the ongoing Berko trial may weigh on how investors price risk. The company scores 4 out of 6 on the valuation checks, which points to a mixed picture rather than a clearly cheap or clearly expensive stock. The issue now is whether Goldman Sachs Group's current share price leaves enough margin between market expectations and intrinsic value to appeal to investors after such a strong run. Goldman Sachs Group delivered 46.7% returns over the last year. See how this stacks up to the rest of the Capital Markets industry. Does Goldman Sachs Group Look Fairly Valued on Excess Returns? The Excess Returns model looks at how much profit Goldman Sachs Group can earn on its equity above its estimated cost of equity. For Goldman Sachs Group, the model uses a book value of $362.05 per share and a stable earnings figure of $78.12 per share, based on future return on equity estimates from 13 analysts. With an implied cost of equity of $37.60 per share, that leaves an excess return of $40.51 per share on an average return on equity of 19.21% and a stable book value projection of $406.56 per share. Putting these inputs together gives an intrinsic value estimate of $1,136.59 per share, which is about 9.0% above the current share price. The recent rally fueled by strong trading and investment banking results, as highlighted in coverage of profits that rose 78% year over year, helps explain why the gap to intrinsic value is not wider. On this model, Goldman Sachs Group stock currently screens as roughly fairly valued rather than clearly cheap or expensive. Goldman Sachs Group is fairly valued according to our Excess Returns, but this can change at a moment's notice. Track the value in your watchlist or portfolio and be alerted on when to act. Story Continues GS Discounted Cash Flow as at Aug 2026 Head to the Valuation section of our Company Report for more details on how we arrive at this Fair Value for Goldman Sachs Group. Is Goldman Sachs Group a Bargain on Earnings? The P/E multiple suits Goldman Sachs Group because earnings are a key anchor for how investors look at large capital markets firms. On this measure, Goldman Sachs Group trades on a P/E of 15.7x, which is below both the peer group average of 28.5x and the broader Capital Markets industry average of 37.9x. The company specific fair P/E, which blends its growth profile, profitability, size and risk, sits at 19.3x. That fair P/E points to a gap between where Goldman Sachs Group trades today and the level suggested by this model if expectations were fully reflected. Even after a strong three year share price run, the current P/E remains below this tailored fair level and below industry and peer benchmarks. On the P/E multiple, Goldman Sachs Group stock appears undervalued compared with both its estimated fair P/E and wider Capital Markets peers.NYSE:GS P/E Ratio as at Aug 2026 See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown.

Jim Cramer Recommends Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to Profit From Accelerating M&A Deals
During Mad Money's August 6 episode, host Jim Cramer highlighted why investors should target elite advisory firms rather than speculating on acquisition targets, as he said: Here's a big theme that right now really only impacts two large companies: pent-up demand for mergers and acquisitions now that the Biden era of overzealous antitrust enforcement has been replaced by the Trump era of almost non-existent antitrust enforcement. Most companies don't believe this moment can last, so they're taking advantage of it to make deals. When the summer's over, I believe we're going to come back to see some blockbusters that are on the order of that rumored AstraZeneca bid for Bristol Myers or Stripe for a real bid for PayPal. I know the targets in these cases may not be interested in merging, but the potential acquirers, oh man, they're all set. They seem very interested, and I think they're willing to pay up. How do you play this merger mania? Not by picking potential targets. That's a sucker game. Instead, you should buy the stocks of the companies that enable these deals. And well, why not Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, both of which have terrific M&A departments? This M&A advisory business is a gold mine. We're talking tremendous earnings per person and therefore, earnings per share.Jim Cramer Backs American Express (AXP) and Capital One (COF) as Consumer Spending Stays Strong Goldman Sachs: Advisory Dominance and Operating Execution Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS) continues to demonstrate its position as the premier global M&A franchise, leveraging its institutional relationships to capture dominant market share in cross-border deal structuring. In its second-quarter 2026 financial results, Goldman Sachs delivered total net revenues of $20.34 billion, representing a 39% year-over-year increase and outperforming estimates by $3.94 billion. Net income surged 78% year-over-year to $6.63 billion, driving diluted earnings per share to $20.98, beating estimates by $6.44. The firm achieved an annualized return on average common shareholders' equity of 23.5%. Growth was led by the global banking and markets division, which generated $15.52 billion in net revenues, a 53% year-over-year expansion. Within this segment, investment banking fees jumped 55% year-over-year to $3.40 billion, propelled by accelerating M&A advisory fees, equity underwriting for corporate acquirers, and debt financing packages. During the second-quarter 2026 earnings conference call, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David Solomon emphasized that dealmaking momentum has accelerated across key coverage sectors, citing expanding advisory pipelines and strong client engagement as corporations act on strategic imperatives. Story Continues Morgan Stanley: Institutional Scale and Advisory Monetization Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) represents a complementary pillar in global deal execution, pairing a world-class advisory division with a high-margin wealth management engine that stabilizes firmwide cash flows. In its second-quarter 2026 earnings report, the company posted total net revenues of $21.35 billion, a 27% increase year-over-year. Net income applicable to common shareholders climbed 60% year-over-year to $5.44 billion, with diluted earnings per share of $3.46, exceeding estimates by $0.53. The firm delivered an annualized return on equity of 20.7% and a return on tangible common equity of 26.6%. The firm's institutional securities business segment led top-line expansion, generating $11 billion in net revenues, a 44% year-over-year increase. Investment banking revenues rose 58% year-over-year, driven by higher M&A advisory revenue along with heightened equity underwriting activity. Executive commentary from Morgan Stanley's quarterly earnings discussions highlighted that advisory pipelines continue to build across technology, healthcare, and industrial verticals, supported by corporate sponsors eager to deploy accumulated cash reserves.

Nvidia Makes Massive Move to Fund AI Buildout
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is reportedly working with some of Wall Street's biggest financial firms on a financing package of up to $500 billion for AI infrastructure, potentially giving the chipmaker an even deeper role in funding the data centers, power systems and computing capacity that ultimately drive demand for its GPUs. The scale of the plan underscores how capital-intensive the AI boom has become, but it also raises fresh questions about how much financial risk is building around the sector. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with APO. Is APO fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. The consortium reportedly includes Apollo Global Management (NYSE:APO), Blackstone (NYSE:BX), BlackRock's (NYSE:BLK) Global Infrastructure Partners, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and KKR. A deal could be announced imminently, according to reports. For Nvidia, the strategic logic is straightforward. Financing more AI infrastructure can help customers and partners fund the enormous upfront cost of chips, data centers and power generation, potentially supporting continued demand for Nvidia hardware even as capital requirements rise. The Financial Times also reported that Nvidia has discussed backing a large Ohio data-center project leased to OpenAI, highlighting how the company's role is expanding beyond simply supplying accelerators. The backdrop remains exceptionally strong. Nvidia reported fiscal first-quarter 2027 revenue of $81.6 billion, up 85% year over year, with gross margin near 75%. Still, Nvidia shares fell more than 3% Monday as investors weighed whether increasingly complex financing arrangements signal that AI customers need greater outside support to sustain the current spending boom. Investor Takeaway On Nvidia Stock The key question is whether $500 billion of new financing expands Nvidia's addressable market or simply shifts more AI-infrastructure risk into the financial system. Investors should watch data-center revenue growth, customer capex commitments, financing terms and any guarantees Nvidia provides. Strong utilization and rising AI demand would make the financing package a powerful accelerator for GPU sales. The risk is circularity: if infrastructure developers borrow heavily to buy Nvidia hardware but AI monetization falls short, weaker project economics could eventually hit both financing availability and chip demand. With Nvidia's next quarterly results scheduled for Aug. 26, investors will be looking for evidence that underlying compute demand remains strong enough to justify the unprecedented capital flowing into the sector.

Bessent’s Whatever-It-Takes Yen Pledge Masks Limited Firepower
(Bloomberg) -- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's suggestion of a no-limits approach toward helping Japan rescue the yen risks getting called out by market participants flagging his limited firepower to do the job. Most Read from Bloomberg China Unleashes $28 Trillion Capital Markets to Challenge US in AI Stocks Churn as Hormuz Standoff Spurs Rally in Oil: Markets Wrap Iran Shakes Up Security Team After Saying Oman Deal 'Very Close' GameStop's Ryan Cohen Weighs Pulling $56 Billion EBay Offer Trump Amps Up Pressure on Billionaire Sargeant to Exit Venezuela Japan's currency slid as much as 1% Monday, erasing half the gains triggered by first US-Japan joint intervention to prop up the yen since 1998. It dropped past 159 per dollar after having made a run at 155 in the wake of the July 31 actions. In the wake of that unusual operation, Bessent said "we will do whatever it takes to support them in a way that helps the American economy, the American taxpayer, stabilizes the global economy." Trouble is, as far as currency-intervention ammunition goes, the Treasury chief is seen limited by his main dedicated instrument — the Exchange Stabilization Fund, with holdings of less than $220 billion. As a gauge of comparison, Japan on its own is estimated to have spent $53 billion on yen operations on July 30, the day before the coordinated move. "The US can influence the narrative by coordinating with Japan on intervention, but can't rewrite the fundamentals," said Nathan Thooft, a senior portfolio manager at Manulife Investment Management. With regard to American authorities' capacity, "the pockets are deep but not limitless," he said. In the US, the Federal Reserve is the agency with — in principle — unlimited firepower for foreign-exchange intervention to drive down the dollar, as it's effectively able to manufacture greenbacks. In the case of last month's operation, however, its role was limited to the actual conduct of the yen purchases, done on behalf of the Treasury. Historically, the Fed has sometimes joined in with the Treasury with its own funds to show its support for interventions. Back in 1998, the yen intervention at that time was done 50-50 with Fed and Treasury funds. A 2011 joint intervention to sell yen and a 2000 one to buy euros similarly involved even splits. This time, media reporting on the intervention suggests the Fed "did not stump up" for the US intervention, Derek Tang, an economist at Monetary Policy Analytics wrote in a note Monday. Official data are unlikely to be available to confirm that until later this year. Story Continues Fed Capacity "Its intervention capacity is theoretically limited only by its willingness," Tang noted of the US central bank. The Fed on Monday declined to comment about the US intervention. The Treasury didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Bessent has put a spotlight on a separate way the Fed could prove helpful: via its Foreign and International Monetary Authorities Repo Facility. That program would allow Japan to swap a portion of its $1 trillion-plus stockpile of Treasuries for dollar cash. Two days after the intervention, Bessent recommended the program be "upsized." Fed data published Thursday suggested Japan hasn't used the tool, however. Earlier this month, Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama signaled it could be used at some point. 160 Threshold Pressure for either Japan or the two allies together to step in again could rise should the yen sink past 160 per dollar, a level seen earlier this year as a key psychological threshold. Authorities intervened to support the currency when it crossed that level in the summer of 2024. "If the US and Japan let the yen go back to trading durably above 160, markets could interpret the absence of FX intervention" as a sign of US reluctance toward selling dollars," Marco Casiraghi and Gang Lyu at Evercore ISI wrote in a note Monday. "The result could invite additional market pressure that would test the commitment to a s

Nvidia to Team With Wall Street on $500 Billion Package, FT Says
(Bloomberg) -- A group of US investment giants are partnering with Nvidia Corp. on $500 billion in funding for AI infrastructure projects, the Financial Times reported. Most Read from Bloomberg China Unleashes $28 Trillion Capital Markets to Challenge US in AI Stocks Wobble on Hormuz Standoff as Nvidia Sinks: Markets Wrap Iran Shakes Up Security Team After Saying Oman Deal 'Very Close' Trump Amps Up Pressure on Billionaire Sargeant to Exit Venezuela GameStop's Ryan Cohen Weighs Pulling $56 Billion EBay Offer Apollo Global Management Inc., Blackstone Inc., BlackRock Inc.'s Global Infrastructure Partners, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and KKR & Co. are among the firms in talks with Nvidia on a deal to invest in the AI buildout, the Financial Times reported, citing unidentified sources. The deal may be announced as soon as Monday, the Times said. The named firms didn't respond to requests from the Times for comment. Nvidia didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The company's shares fell by as much as 3.2%. Nvidia has already inked hundreds of billions of dollars worth of deals with companies across the AI ecosystem, stoking concerns from some investors that the chips giant is inflating demand and valuations across the industry through the circular nature of such agreements. The company just last month expanded a partnership with South Korean conglomerate SK Group and said the companies will be doing more than $500 billion in business with each other. It was also in talks to backstop as much as $250 billion to help OpenAI lease computing power from a US data center project in what would be among the chipmaker's biggest financing deals with a customer. The Financial Times report didn't detail which projects or companies the funding would back, the nature of the funding or whether the $500 billion represented new commitments or already existing ones. Nvidia said last month it had made a "substantial" investment in Safe Superintelligence Inc., the AI startup co-founded by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever. And it was in discussions to finance $350 billion of OpenAI's purchases of its chips for the US project. --With assistance from Ian King.

Data center operator CyrusOne plans potential 2027 IPO, banks pitch for roles, sources say
By Echo Wang NEW YORK, Aug 10 (Reuters) - CyrusOne, a data center operator owned by KKR and BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners, is preparing for an initial public offering as early as 2027, in what could be one of the biggest IPOs in the sector in recent years, according to people familiar with the matter. The private equity firms met investment banks including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley last week and the banks pitched for roles on the IPO, the people said, asking not to be identified because the discussions are confidential. The company has not decided how much it plans to raise or what valuation it will seek, they said, but one of the people said a public listing could raise about $5 billion. The people cautioned that discussions are at an early stage and details are subject to change. BlackRock, KKR, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley declined to comment. CyrusOne had no comment. CyrusOne would join a growing pipeline of large IPOs tied to data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructure as spending on computing capacity surges. Data center operator Switch picked lead banks for a public offering that could value the company at close to $80 billion including debt. SoftBank-backed SB Energy is also preparing for a U.S. IPO that could value it at more than $50 billion, while Brookfield-backed data center provider Csquare raised more than $1 billion in its IPO last month. KKR and GIP took CyrusOne private in 2022 in a deal valued at about $15 billion including debt. An IPO could let them monetize their investment and give CyrusOne more capital to pay down debt it borrowed to expand its data centers. CyrusOne operates more than 60 data center campuses across the United States, Europe and Japan. The Information previously reported that CyrusOne was preparing to interview banks. Private equity and infrastructure investors have been ramping up investment in data centers and related infrastructure supporting the build-out. KKR raised a record $19.2 billion for its latest infrastructure fund this month and in June launched Helix Digital Infrastructure, a new company with committed capital of more than $10 billion to finance the build-out.

JPMorgan Strategists Raise S&P 500 Target as AI Capex Pays Off
(Bloomberg) -- JPMorgan Chase & Co. strategists raised their S&P 500 Index forecast for a second time in two months, citing strong corporate earnings and the payoff from massive artificial intelligence spending. Most Read from Bloomberg Iran Shakes Up Security Team After Saying Oman Deal 'Very Close' China Unleashes $28 Trillion Capital Markets to Challenge US in AI Stocks Hold Near Record Highs, Oil Ticks Higher: Markets Wrap Trump Amps Up Pressure on Billionaire Sargeant to Exit Venezuela Iran Says Hormuz Deal Close But Its Conditions Must Be Met The team led by Dubravko Lakos-Bujas now sees the US benchmark rising to 8,000 points, implying gains of about 3% from Friday's close. They had bumped their target to 7,800 from 7,600 in June. The latest forecast is slightly above the average of 20 strategists polled by Bloomberg. The second-quarter earnings season has produced evidence that capital expenditure by the so-called AI hyperscalers is being monetized through customer demand, the JPMorgan team said. They cited stronger cloud growth and increased backlogs at Alphabet Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Microsoft Corp. that should reduce worries over return on their invested capital. "As elevated backlogs convert into recognized revenue, cloud growth should remain well supported, helping validate rising AI capex," they said. "Across hyperscalers, demand indicators remain high and rising." The S&P 500 has reclaimed record highs as corporate earnings surged 32% in one of the best increases on record. There's been intense focus on Big Tech's spending on AI and the impact that's having on their cash flow. The JPMorgan strategists expect AI spending to keep climbing, with the technology projected to account for well over half of total capex of $1.5 trillion across the S&P 500 this year, a proportion that's tipped to grow. Strategists at banks including Citigroup Inc., Deutsche Bank AG and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are also among the most bullish voices on US stocks this year. On average, the S&P 500 is seen rising to 7,845 points by the year end, about 1% above current levels. --With assistance from Sagarika Jaisinghani.

Barrick Chairman's Planned Overhaul Meets Investor Backlash
(Bloomberg) -- John Thornton appeared ready last year to step down as chairman of Barrick Mining Corp. after a turbulent 12-year tenure. Instead, he seized control from his long-time CEO and is now driving a reinvention of one of the world's largest gold producers. Most Read from Bloomberg Iran Says Hormuz Deal Close But Its Conditions Must Be Met Trump Amps Up Pressure on Billionaire Sargeant to Exit Venezuela OpenAI's New Device Will Be Hockey Puck-Sized and Cost Over $300 America's Cyber Forces Grapple With Cluster of Deaths by Suicide Walmart Tests Fulfillment Cart Changes After Child Hit in Store His plan is running into trouble. The former Goldman Sachs banker's idea to spin off the Canadian company's North American mines in an initial public offering is facing backlash from some of Barrick's top investors, who don't want to share their interest in the company's most valuable assets. The IPO will likely be a key focus for shareholders when Barrick reports its quarterly earnings on Monday. Although the company first floated the plan in December, Barrick still hasn't named a CEO for the new company or revealed where it will be domiciled. Portfolio managers at Van Eck Associates Corp and Mackenzie Financial Corp have contacted Barrick within recent months to express opposition to the chairman's strategy. Franklin Equity Group is also opposed. Frustration is so high that at least one investor is calling publicly for Thornton's resignation. "If you ask me, it would be nice to have a graceful exit of this current chairman and have someone else come in," said Benoit Gervais, portfolio manager at Mackenzie, a subsidiary of Power Corp., Barrick's 10th-largest shareholder. The IPO could be Thornton's last chance to change the fortunes of Barrick, a mining company he's led since 2014. Under his watch, the company's stock has underperformed rivals Newmont Corp. and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. and has struggled to capitalize on a historic run-up in the price of gold. Barrick slipped to third place in global production last year after being overtaken by Agnico. The company's struggles threaten to tarnish the reputation of a dealmaker and master networker who made his name running one of the world's top investment banks, but hasn't replicated similar success as a corporate leader. This story is based on interviews with more than two dozen executives, current and former Barrick employees, bankers and shareholders, many who asked not to be identified because they are not authorized to speak publicly. Story Continues Through an outside spokeswoman, Thornton declined to comment. The IPO is supposed to unlock the value of Barrick's gold mines in Nevada and the Dominican Republic, which the firm's leadership has long contended are weighed down by Barrick's more troubled assets in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Through a new, publicly listed company, Barrick would retain majority control of the assets while floating a minority interest to the public. The Nevada mines have been declining in production in recent years, but the asset is part of the world's largest gold-mining complex and contributes more than half of Barrick's profits. The IPO would also include the Fourmile discovery, which Barrick has called one of this century's greatest gold finds, and a mine in the Dominican Republic. Investors say the restructuring comes at their expense, diluting their interest in the operations by as much as 15% to new shareholders. Portfolio managers at Van Eck, Barrick's fourth-largest shareholder, met at least three times with company executives this year to push back. Dealmaker Turned Corporate Leader Long before he joined Barrick, Thornton had established himself as one of Wall Street's premier dealmakers. The 72-year-old climbed the ranks at Goldman by growing the firm's presence in Asia and Europe. He rose to co-president of the firm by the time it went public in 1999 and held that role until 2003. Thornton sits on several other boards including Fo

AI’s new millionaires want to disrupt philanthropy. They should fund what already exists
SpaceX's IPO this summer created an estimated 4,400 new millionaires overnight, and Anthropic and OpenAI are expected to soon follow. Goldman Sachsprojects a historic year for IPO proceeds, driven by the AI boom. The question is: How much of this enormous wealth will trickle down to the people who need it most? We've watched this moment take shape from different angles — one of us building and scaling technology companies, the other leading a nonprofit that provides career training to help people move into the middle class. From both of these vantage points, we see a country where costs are rising, services are stretched thin, and the American dream is further out of reach. AI wealth can help solve these problems. But there's an alarming misapprehension circulating in tech circles: that the nonprofit sector lacks the talent, speed, and ambition to deploy capital at this scale. Techies who came up in the "move fast and break things" era want to apply that same ethos to philanthropy, rebuilding the sector in tech's image. The truth is we don't need a whole new infrastructure to make the best use of new AI wealth. There are 1.8 million nonprofits operating in the U.S. right now, deploying roughly $600 billion in charitable giving each year to make peoples' lives and communities better. This is a sector that's helped solve civilizational challenges like eradicating smallpox and lifting more than a billion people out of extreme poverty. Contrary to perceptions, nonprofit workers aren't well-meaning amateurs waiting for tech to save the day, but savvy operators with deep community knowledge and relationships that can't simply be replicated. Nonprofit organizations have survived decades of public funding cuts, shifting policy priorities, and economic volatility — and, like a lot of people who've come up in the tech sector, they've learned to innovate, adapt, and do more with less. Give them more to work with and they'll accomplish even more. We don't need to speculate about whether nonprofits can absorb transformational investment. MacKenzie Scott has given more than $26 billion in large, unrestricted gifts to existing nonprofits since 2019. The Center for Effective Philanthropy studied the outcomes over three years and found that 90% of recipients reported stronger financial positions, expanded programs, reduced staff burnout, and increased capacity to innovate. The early concern that nonprofits couldn't absorb capital at that scale turned out to be unfounded across more than a thousand organizations. Story Continues The assumption that nonprofits are too set in their ways to respond to a rapidly changing world doesn't hold up either. The best nonprofits operate like any tech startup: reading market conditions and pivoting to where the need is greatest. This is partly out of necessity, as nonprofits, more than any other sector, need to be constantly responsive to the shifting winds of community need and donor focus. Many have to raise their entire operating budget from scratch every single year — a pressure that breeds operational discipline and adaptability. Workforce development is where this plays out most visibly right now, and where AI wealth has perhaps the most responsibility. Demand for career training programs has increased as jobseekers navigate a rapidly changing labor market. As generative AI restructures employment, workforce nonprofits continue to innovate. For example, at JVS Bay Area, we've sunsetted job training programs in tech and developed new programs in sectors more resistant to automation, like healthcare and the skilled trades. We've integrated AI skills across all our training programs to help jobseekers stick out in a competitive market. Amid all the uncertainty of 2025, our program graduates were still able to secure meaningful employment within less than a month, on average. Nonprofits like us don't need to invent a new way of putting capital to work, we simply need more funding for programs that are alre

Analyst Price Targets don't always capture the full story. Head over to our Company Report to find new ways to value Travel + Leisure. What Wall Street Has Been Saying 🐂 Bullish Takeaways Several firms, including Goldman Sachs, BofA, Mizuho and Morgan Stanley, have raised price targets on Travel + Leisure. This points to a more constructive stance on the stock's valuation after recent earnings. Goldman Sachs describes Travel + Leisure as a capital light, recurring fee business within the timeshare sector. Some investors may view this as supportive of more predictable cash flow compared with asset heavy peers. Mizuho highlights the Yes& and Spinnaker acquisitions and cites an additional US$15m to US$20m of EBITDA. This feeds into its higher target of US$107 and its view that estimates now better reflect the company profile. 🐻 Bearish Takeaways Barclays maintains an Equal Weight rating even after lifting its target to US$77. It points to a hazy outlook on consumer credit, which could affect timeshare affordability for some buyers. Earlier in the year, Morgan Stanley lowered its price target before later raising it. This shows that Travel + Leisure still faces execution questions that investors may want to monitor as new results and credit data come through. Do your thoughts align with the Bull or Bear Analysts?

Burnham’s Fiscal ‘Flexibility’ Could Backfire, Officials Fear
(Bloomberg) -- UK Treasury officials are concerned that the prime minister's talk of using "flexibility" within the fiscal rules to ramp up investment could backfire by destabilizing financial markets, according to people familiar with the thinking. Most Read from Bloomberg OpenAI's New Device Will Be Hockey Puck-Sized and Cost Over $300 Iran Wants to Bar US, Israeli Ships From Hormuz in Peace Accord Walmart Tests Fulfillment Cart Changes After Child Hit in Store Trump Administration Considers Order on Autism and Vaccines Why Do Data Centers Use So Much Fresh Water? Andy Burnham said on July 20, the day he became Britain's premier, that he would stick to his predecessor's rules on the public finances but would "use obviously any flexibility within them." He wants to make greater use of a 2024 rewrite of the rules that could theoretically allow almost unlimited borrowing for investment in his priorities like housing, transport and defense. Mounting speculation that the new government might use the arrangement more aggressively than previously has raised fears that investors could be spooked and send borrowing costs soaring, one official said. They are "alert" to the risk, the person said. Burnham's chancellor of the exchequer, John Healey, has not used the word flexibility since his appointment. He prefers the word "scope" and has suggested that welfare cuts and reprioritization of departmental budgets would be needed for "more rapid investment," he told the Times of London in an interview. The flexibility is inherited from former chancellor Rachel Reeves, who changed the way investment is treated. Capital spending was already excluded from the primary fiscal rule, which requires day-to-day spending to be covered by tax revenue. Now borrowing for investment is also excluded from the secondary debt rule so long as the funds are channelled through public financial institutions, known as PuFins, as a loan to private sector operators. Under a switch to public sector net financial liabilities as the government's preferred debt measure, the loan is a financial asset that offsets the liability incurred. As a result, all borrowing for investment done through PuFins effectively vanishes. As far as the fiscal rules are concerned, the only constraint is the cost of servicing the extra borrowing required. The Resolution Foundation think tank estimates that £10 billion ($13.5 billion) of borrowing would add £500 million to Britain's debt-interest bill. By extension, a £30 billion borrowing spree would knock just £1.5 billion off the £23.6 billion buffer the government had against its primary rule in March. Story Continues Treasury officials fear the markets may deem "flexibility" for investment a fiscal flaw that leaves the government without a binding constraint. While the official debt and borrowing rules may be met, standard measures of public sector net debt and public sector net borrowing could rise, and the government would still have to issue gilts to investors. The concern is the so-called bond vigilantes might end up as the disciplining force, costing the state billions in unproductive debt interest payments. Britain already has the highest government borrowing costs among Group of Seven economies. A Treasury spokesperson said: "Fiscal discipline is the bedrock of economic stability and national security. The chancellor and prime minister are in lockstep that the government will meet the fiscal rules, with a buffer against uncertainty – and that includes getting debt down." The spokesperson clarified they meant debt as measured by PSNFL. There are already concerns about the UK's high national debt, which is nearly 100% of GDP. Jonathan Haskel, the new head of the Office for Budget Responsibility, said last month the government has "little capacity for expansionary fiscal policy." Options to reassure markets could include new guardrails around the existing fiscal rules, or additional backstops. Jim O'Neill, former chair of Goldman S
