Burford Capital Limited (NYSE:BUR) announced on September 14 that its indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, Burford Capital Global Finance LLC, priced $300 million of 8% senior secured notes due 2029. Closing is expected September 17, subject to customary conditions.
Net proceeds and existing cash are intended to redeem the subsidiary's 6.25% unsecured notes due in 2028. The transaction would move this maturity into 2029, with a coupon 175 basis points higher.
The September 14 offering announcement confirmed $400 million of outstanding 2028 notes, making the cash contribution central to the refinancing. Burford Capital Limited (NYSE:BUR) said it expected to issue a conditional notice targeting September 24, 2026, for redemption of all $400 million, subject to successful completion of the $300 million financing.
For Burford Capital Limited (NYSE:BUR), refinancing ahead of maturity creates more room for litigation investments to generate cash. Court proceedings, settlements, and collections follow uncertain schedules. Reducing dependence on a particular realization date could help management preserve investment value.
Redeeming the confirmed $400 million balance with $300 million of replacement notes would reduce gross principal by $100 million. Calculated annual coupons would fall from $25 million to $24 million, before fees and other financing costs.

At 60, Stephen has $40,000 saved against a $680,000 benchmark, plus $32,000 in debt draining his recovery runway.
Rachel Cruze and George Kamel told Stephen to stop funding his daughter and eliminate debt before rebuilding retirement savings.
Workers aged 60 to 63 can contribute up to $35,750 annually to a 401(k), a catch-up window that Stephen must use before it closes at age 64.

A 60-year-old caller named Stephen phoned The Ramsey Show from Portland and laid out a balance sheet that would make anyone flinch: $40,000 left in retirement, no liquid savings, a $27,000 loan on a 4Runner worth about what he owes, $5,000 in credit card debt, and an $85,000 salary he took after quitting a more stressful job. He said he had drained the retirement account to put his daughter through school and pay off a $25,000 IRS bill he insists "wasn't mine."

A company that specializes in autonomous power deployment said it has raised $31.8 million to scale its operations, with investments from major groups including Google and Bill Gates-founded Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV). California-based Planted said the new capital expands its robotic fleet. The company said the funding also supports the launch of Sage, its next-generation robot, as demand outpaces the company's current capacity.Planted on September 15 said the funding round was led by Piva Capital and RA Capital Management Planetary Health, with participation from Gigascale Capital and Open AI-backer Khosla Ventures, along with Google and BEV. Gigascale Capital was founded by former Meta executive Mike Schroepfer."Globally, solar needs to be deployed about five times faster than it is today to hit the scale experts project we'll need by 2050, and the gap is growing as the industry confronts constraints involving supply chains, land, interconnection, and skilled labor," said Eric Brown, CEO of Planted. "The way to close that gap is to turn the construction of a power plant into a manufacturing problem: building robots and deployment systems, not just projects. We have robots in the field proving the model works today. This round is how we scale it."
Brown's group on Tuesday said a record 664 GW of solar photovoltaic power was installed worldwide last year, but noted terawatts of new generation capacity are needed to meet projected demand. The company said it combines planning software, high-density terrain-following solar arrays, storage, and field robotics into one system, which enables Planted to build on parcels of land that legacy trackers cannot use. The company said its system also delivers twice the energy per acre, resulting in smaller project footprints and a lower profile on the landscape.Planted said its array "is simplified, designed for automation, and defined in software," and thus can deliver new power generation capacity in months rather than years. Planted's most recent build, a 28-MW behind-the-meter project serving a neocloud data center, went from first call to power in 10 months, with field construction completed in under three months.Planted on Tuesday said the company's development model "is proven and bankable," and noted its projects carry independent engineering validation and project financing. The company completed Bowes Solar, an 11-MW project in Illinois for Cultivate Power, and will next build Aligned Climate Capital's Armoracia project on 16 acres, 10 fewer than the original design required. The denser redesign moved the project through local review after the initial layout was rejected, according to the company. Planted, which deployed more than 10 MW in 2025, is on track for 100 MW in 2026, a 10x jump in a single year, with a project pipeline of more than 20 GW.The company said Sage, the next-generation robot, will be deployed later this year.

The energy landscape is evolving rapidly, and one company looking to disrupt the status quo and redefine the future of nuclear power is NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR). NuScale is the only small modular reactor (SMR) developer to receive a Standard Design Approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
On Sept. 1, NuScale achieved a major engineering breakthrough. In collaboration with MilleniTEK, it successfully fabricated specialized boron-oxide pellets, a critical component of NuScale's cutting-edge passive emergency cooling system.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
This engineering triumph is a major step toward making safe, meltdown-proof modular nuclear power a reality. It also helps NuScale move closer to commercial deployment. But does this make NuScale Power stock a buy? Let's dive into the details and what it means for the stock.
In traditional nuclear reactors, reactivity control during nonstandard events often relies on active mechanical insertion of control rods or on powered chemical injection pumps. NuScale's 77 MWe Small Modular Reactor (SMR) design relies on passive safety mechanisms.

Sept 14 - Novo Nordisk is changing its day-to-day name to 'Novo', and taking a new approach to company culture as it looks to claw back ground in the fierce obesity drug race, the Danish drugmaker said on Monday.
• Novo, which is slated to unveil details on its business strategy during a Capital Markets Day on September 21, will keep 'Novo Nordisk A/S' as its legal name.
• The company set out on Monday a new cultural strategy it called "The Novo Way", centred around four principles — customer obsession, competitiveness, clarity, and care and integrity.
• The move comes as it faces fierce competition from rival weight-loss drug maker Eli Lilly, investor pressure to deliver new blockbusters, and setbacks to its medicine pipeline.
• The company's Copenhagen shares are down nearly 15% this year, even as its oral GLP-1 outpaces Eli Lilly by hundreds of thousands of U.S. prescriptions per week, according to IQVIA data provided by an ****** yst.

Harbor Funds, an investment management company, released its Q2 2026 investor letter for "Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund". The letter can be downloaded here. Global equities experienced a sharp rally in Q2 2026, with the S&P 500 returning 15.2%, its strongest quarter since 2020, driven by a shift from software to hardware in the Artificial Intelligence capital spending cycle. Small caps outperformed large caps, with the Russell 2000® gaining 21.5% compared to the Russell 1000's 15.1%. Growth stocks led within large caps, while Information Technology rose about 33%, contributing significantly to the S&P 500's return. The Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund returned 13.99%, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index. Strong stock selection in Consumer Discretionary, Real Estate, and Financials contributed positively, although an underweight in Information Technology negatively impacted results. Despite ongoing economic uncertainties, the investment philosophy remains committed to a disciplined value approach. Check the fund's top five holdings for its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund highlighted The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR). The Kroger Co.

Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund stated the following regarding The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Other detractors were The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) in the Consumer Staples sector and Matador Resources in the Energy sector. Kroger was down more than 20% as slowing same-store sales and inflation weighed on the stock. Competition from lower cost providers has forced Kroger to reduce prices to maintain market share."

(NYSE:KR) at the end of the second quarter, up from 52 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the potential of The Kroger Co.

Baron Capital, an investment management company, released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter for its "Baron Global Opportunity Fund". The letter can be downloaded here. The fund achieved a strong quarter, gaining 26.7% (Institutional Shares), exceeding a 14.9% gain for the MSCI ACWI Index (the Index), and a 19.8% gain for the MSCI ACWI Growth Index. YTD, the Fund is up 20.6% compared to gains of 11.3% and 10.6% for the benchmarks, respectively. In mid-2026, market patterns show similarities to the previous year, following three years of over 25% gains driven by a healthy economy and AI investments. Elevated geopolitical risks persisted, with a pullback likely. A tariff-related market dip was followed by a recovery, reflecting a growing market indifference to geopolitical uncertainties. Similarly, airstrikes against Iran and subsequent tension led to an initial market sell-off, yet a lull in hostilities led to a strong market rally. The Fund noted significant outperformance, credited to stock selection and sector allocation, with 1,173bps of overall outperformance relative to the Index. It excelled in developed markets while underperforming in emerging markets, particularly due to a spectacular rise in Korea. The Fund remains optimistic about its investments and seeks attractive opportunities. Also, check the fund's top five holdings to see its best picks in 2026.

A laptop arrived late. What was on it made things worse. And now Apple is asking a federal court to move faster, arguing that evidence in its lawsuit against OpenAI is being actively destroyed.
Apple filed a new brief on Aug. 31, escalating its legal battle against the ChatGPT maker. The filing accuses OpenAI of withholding key evidence and alleges that a former Apple engineer sent instructions to an OpenAI colleague to destroy documents. The colleague confirmed she would comply, Bloomberg reported.
The brief was filed Monday, Aug. 31, in support of Apple's motion for expedited pretrial fact-finding in its trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI.
Apple's lawyers said OpenAI only recently provided a critical piece of evidence: an Apple-issued MacBook that former engineer Chang Liu had been using since leaving the company.
Initial forensic ****** ysis of the laptop found that Liu and colleagues at OpenAI "were well aware" of his continued unauthorized access to Apple's third-party cloud storage providers. The filing alleges Liu also "sent instructions for destroying evidence to an OpenAI colleague who confirmed she would comply."

Once a worker reaches full retirement age of 67, Social Security cannot withhold benefits regardless of how much they earn returning to work.
Union pension funds can permanently suspend monthly checks when retirees return to the same industry, trade, and geographic area for 40-plus hours a month.
Suspended pension checks are rarely paid back, so a $8,000 job that pauses a $2,400 monthly pension must be evaluated on net gain, not headline pay.

A heavy-equipment operator sits in an excavator cab downtown. Around 2005, he helped put up the five-story office building in front of him. Two decades later, the city wants stadium parking there, and a contractor has called him back for one last job: tearing down what he helped build. At 67, the pay is good, the controls still feel familiar, and Social Security keeps arriving without interruption. Then his union pension fund learns where he is working.

Late-in-life Roth conversions can take some tricky math.
As you approach retirement, one of the most important questions will be how to manage the taxes on your retirement income. For households that rely on pre-tax portfolios, like a 401(k) or a traditional IRA, this means anticipating ordinary income taxes on all of your withdrawals. It also means anticipating the necessary withdrawals **** ociated with the IRS' Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) rule.
As a result, it's common for people in their 60s to at least consider converting their money to a Roth IRA. This can have significant upsides. It will eliminate your taxes in retirement, along with your RMD requirements, and will even improve the after-tax value of your estate.
The problem is that, as you close in on retirement, a Roth conversion can get very expensive. You will pay quite a lot of up-front conversion taxes in exchange for those long-term income tax savings.

It also means anticipating the necessary withdrawals **** ociated with the IRS' Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) rule.
As a result, it's common for people in their 60s to at least consider converting their money to a Roth IRA. This can have significant upsides. It will eliminate your taxes in retirement, along with your RMD requirements, and will even improve the after-tax value of your estate.
The problem is that, as you close in on retirement, a Roth conversion can get very expensive. You will pay quite a lot of up-front conversion taxes in exchange for those long-term income tax savings.

Aug 19 (Reuters) - Indian fintech startup Navi said on Wednesday it will raise $100 million from Dutch technology investor Prosus NV in its first institutional funding round, a deal that comes ahead of a planned initial public offering, a source familiar with the matter said.
Reuters could not determine the valuation at which Prosus made the investment. The investment values Navi at about $1.3 billion, the Economic Times reported on Wednesday, citing a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
Navi is seeking a valuation of about $2 billion in the IPO, the source said, declining to be named because the information is confidential. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on its IPO plans or valuation.
Navi was founded in 2018 by Sachin Bansal, a co-founder of Walmart-backed Indian e-commerce firm Flipkart. The company offers digital payments, lending, mutual funds and insurance through a digital platform.
The investment is subject to regulatory approvals, including from the Competition Commission of India, Navi said in a statement.

September WTI crude oil (CLU26) today is down -0.03 (-0.03%), and September RBOB gasoline (RBU26) is up +0.0219 (+0.69%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices are mixed today. Crude prices gave up an early advance today and turned slightly lower on signs that larger-than-expected volumes of crude oil are moving out of the Persian Gulf despite hostilities between the US and Iran. Crude prices also came under pressure on signs that Iran and Oman are close to signing a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Secured a firm order for a fourth FLNG unit (Mark II design) with CIMC Raffles, increasing controlled liquefaction capacity by 41% to over 12 million tonnes.
Performance attribution for the quarter was driven by Hilli's 100% economic uptime over its 8-year Cameroon contract and Gimi overproducing 15% against contractual volumes.
Strategic positioning focuses on being the only 'FLNG as a service' provider, capturing demand for supply diversification following geopolitical disruptions in major export hubs like Qatar.
Management attributes the decision to proceed with a Mark II design to strong charter engagement and superior economics regarding CapEx per tonne and OpEx per MMBtu.

OpenAI has acquired the presentation technology startup NextSlide, integrating the company's team into the development of ChatGPT.
The acquisition was disclosed in a note by NextSlide founder Ahmed Beshry, who stated on LinkedIn that although the announcement is being made now, the transaction took place "earlier this year."
Financial terms of the deal have not been made public.
According to a statement on the NextSlide website, the company developed a product intended to convert prompts, notes, documents, or research into polished, editable presentations.
Beshry said: "Presentations help ideas move through the world. They teach, persuade, share research, and move important work forward. But creating a great presentation has traditionally required hours of work, design experience, or both."

A warehouse robotics company is generating cash like a high-yield bond, yet the market is pricing it as if that cash flow could vanish.
Symbotic (SYM) builds the AI-powered robot fleets that automate large warehouses. Yet for a company at the center of physical automation, its stock has performed poorly, returning -15.0% over the past year and trading about 47% below its 52-week high. This has created a stark mathematical divide. The market appears to be pricing Symbotic for significant risk, but its financial profile tells a story of high, stable cash generation and growth.
The question is simple: Is the market right to demand such a high return for the perceived risk, or is it overlooking a cash-generating machine that also grows?
This Coupon Pays 13.0% and Is Growing
An investor today has a choice. You can lend to the U.S. government for 10 years and receive a 4.8% yield, the risk-free rate. Or you can own a piece of Symbotic, whose free cash flow alone provides a 13.0% yield at the current price. That is a spread of 8.2% over the safest **** et available. This isn't a one-time event driven by accounting quirks; the company's 3-year average free-cash-flow yield is a still-healthy 8.0%.

U.S. mortgage rates climbed to their highest level in a year, with the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage rising to 6.66% for the week ending July 30, according to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey released Thursday.
The rate marked the highest reading since July 2025 as inflation concerns, Federal Reserve policy expectations and geopolitical tensions continued pushing long-term borrowing costs higher.
Mortgage rates generally track movements in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rather than the Federal Reserve's benchmark interest rate. Treasury yields rose after the Fed left its policy rate unchanged on Wednesday, while three members of the Federal Open Market Committee voted for a rate hike, fueling expectations that borrowing costs could increase later this year.

1inch, a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, just announced the launch of it's new shared liquidity protocol, Aqua. It promises to improve efficiency and unlock liquidity for users across networks.
Sergej Kunz, co-founder and CEO at 1inch, joined TheStreet Roundtable to talk about the launch and describe where those efficiency gains are actually being made.

Kunz frames Aqua's efficiency as a new model of liquidity provisioning built for the tokenized-asset wave.
"RWAs are coming into DeFi, and RWAs need our infrastructure to be able to have proper liquidity in our ****** e," he said.
A recent study, commissioned by 1inch, found that roughly 80% of liquidity on decentralized exchanges sits idle at any given time. That equates to around $1.6 billion that isn't earning anything.

Los Angeles-based Banc of California reported an unexpected $251.3 million loss Wednesday among its second-quarter results.
The loss comes at the confluence of three moves the bank defended as better for its long-term health.
The bank initiated the sale of $827 million in commercial real estate and multifamily construction loans. That maneuver was meant to "reduce selected credit exposures and lower the potential for future credit-related earnings volatility," Banc of California said. Transactions of loans transferred to held-for-sale during the second quarter should close in the third, the bank said. Buyers were not disclosed.
Banc of California also retired $385 million in subordinated debt ahead of "a significantly higher interest rate reset," the lender disclosed Wednesday.

In the world of heavy machinery, Caterpillar commands a premium price without a first-place finish, forcing investors to ask if its future justifies its cost today.
Caterpillar (CAT) stock has delivered a powerful +118% return over the last twelve months, trading around $889.97 a share. For a company in the business of moving earth, it has certainly moved portfolios. But when you line it up with its direct competitors, a sharp question emerges: why does the market price Caterpillar like a leader when on paper, it isn't one?
CAT's Price Ranks Higher Than Its Performance
Among its peers, Caterpillar carries one of the highest valuations, trading at 43.7 times earnings. That's a significant premium over a rival like Deere, which trades at 33.1 times earnings. Yet for that price, investors are not getting chart-topping results. While CAT's revenue growth of 11.8% is strong, it trails the 17.0% growth posted by Terex. The story is similar for profitability, where Caterpillar's 16.5% operating margin is solid, but second to Deere's 17.4%.
The mismatch is clear: Caterpillar is priced near the top of its class but is out-delivered by at least one peer on both growth and margins. This isn't a case of paying for leading performance; it's a case of paying for something the market sees coming down the road.

While hundreds of wildfires in Canada may seem like a distant threat, EPA administrator Lee Zeldin says the impacts are causing "great concern and harm across the United States" as smoke degrades air quality.
While the fires themselves may not reach the U.S., the smoke and ash can dramatically affect air quality in faraway areas and potentially damage homes and cars.
Home and car insurance policies are valuable tools for protecting homes, cars, and belongings from wildfire smoke exposure. Here's what they cover and what they don't.
