Vinted, one of Europe's largest marketplaces for buying and selling pre-owned items between private individuals, will direct customers in Germany to ship or exchange goods through DHL Group's (XETRA: DHL) network of parcel lockers and digital kiosks, under a new strategic partnership aimed at making peer-to-peer purchases as convenient as ones through online retailers.
Private-party sales of used items through online marketplaces have become very popular in Germany. According to the latest DHL E-Commerce Trends Report, 67% of online shoppers in the country have already sold items via a digital platform.
Vinted and DHL announced Wednesday they are working together to expand and simplify the shipping and collection of Vinted parcels through DHL's network of Packstations (automated, self-service locker systems that allows users to send, receive and drop-off parcels around the clock), Poststations (digital Deutsche Post retail outlets where users can take care of postal business) and DeinFach lockers (a carrier neutral parcel locker network).
DHL operates the most extensive parcel shipping network in Germany, including 41,000 parcel drop-off and collection points at post offices, parcel shops and automated facilities.
The Vinted collaboration builds on a multi-month pilot program that both companies recently completed, DHL spokeswoman Sarah Preuss explained in an email message.

IfJay Shetty was going to level up his podcast, he figured he needed to upgrade the studio in which he records it. So before his seven-year-old show, On Purpose, relaunched this month on Netflix, the 38-year-old self-help guru says he spent around $500,000 to renovate the ****** e with specific colors and custom artwork (such asincluding a piece of glass covered in bubble wrap) to evoke the kind of vulnerability and fragility he hopes to encourage from his guests.
Sitting inside his sprawling Hollywood Hills home, worth an estimated $8 million, Shetty's digs are a far cry from the Hindu monk principles of humble detachment he once practiced and has encouraged to display. But for a star in media's hottest category—who recently signed a new podcast deal with Spotify and Netflix that will pay him a combined $100 million over the next three years—the studio and residence are fitting.
"I mean, I'm not a monk anymore," Shetty tells Forbes. "Today I consider myself an entrepreneur and a leader in this ****** e, and that allows me to have the ability to use money as a resource to do good in the world and create impact in the way that we've chosen to do that."
For top podcasters like Shetty, the money has also never been better. The entry of video platforms such as Netflix, Hulu and Tubi into a still-frothy marketplace of audio distributors (including Spotify, SiriusXM and Amazon) have pushed paydays into territory once reserved for movie stars. Shetty earned an estimated $21 million over the past 12 months from his previous podcast distribution and ad sales agreement with iHeart Media (before paying taxes and fees to agents and managers) and he i's in line to make far more from his new deal.
He is pouring those earnings into an expanding business portfolio, investing in the Austin-based blood testing company Function Health and founding his own sparkling tea brand, Juni. He also has a production company, Perfect Strangers, which produces the podcast Friends Keep Secrets and has a handful of TV projects in development. The goal, Shetty says, is to build a "conscious empire" of content and products promoting physical and mental health.

Health policy has quietly become a stock-moving variable in 2026, and the figures are significant enough to matter. Approximately 2.6 million Americans discontinued ACA marketplace coverage this year after increased pandemic-era subsidies ended at the end of 2025, with health policy experts predicting that total enrollment would decrease to between 16.5 million and 17.5 million by year-end. Meanwhile, the Urban Institute has projected that 4.8 million more people will be uninsured in 2026 as a direct consequence of the lapsed subsidies, with certain HealthCare.gov-reliant states witnessing enrollment losses of 20% or more.
Whether this translates into fewer elective medical treatments is now a hotly debated topic in the healthcare industry, with Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRG) emerging as the evident casualty. The company's shares plunged more than 12% before the bell on July 17, despite Intuitive maintaining its global procedure-growth prediction for its da Vinci surgical robots. Instead, the selloff was driven by the company's own admission that changes in insurance coverage could impact demand.
US da Vinci procedure growth slowed to roughly 12% in the second quarter, down from where Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRG) expected to be at the beginning of the year, with a focus on surgeries that patients may defer. On the July 16 call, CEO David Rosa told ******* ysts that customer conversations indicated that fluctuating patient coverage and premium dynamics affect "when patients seek care," as opposed to if they seek it at all.
That reaction came at an awkward time, as a highly public disagreement was already taking place in the sector. Abbott, a major medical device and diagnostics manufacturer, had argued recently that blaming industry-wide procedure weakness on ACA disenrollment was a "flawed ******* umption." HCA Healthcare, the largest for-profit hospital operator in the United States, took the opposite stance, warning earlier of lower surgical demand and an increase in uninsured patients when pandemic-era subsidies expired.
Intuitive's own results now appear to support the HCA side of the argument, at least in procedures when patients can choose to delay. Stifel's response immediately reflected the tension: the firm reduced its price objective to $550 from $670 on July 17 while keeping a Buy rating on the company's shares, despite Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRG) exceeding expectations in revenue, earnings, system placements, and procedure growth in the same quarter. Both US procedure and installed-base growth have slowed since the 2020-2021 COVID era, with management blaming the slowdown on ACA disenrollment and the basic law of large numbers as the installed base matures.

The "get-in" price for the Philadelphia 76ers preseason home debut has surged following the team's signing of LeBron James, according to secondary ticket marketplace TickPick, far exceeding the average cost of a 76ers regular season home game ticket in 2025.
James announced his departure from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Philadelphia 76ers last week.
The "get-in" price for James' preseason home debut against the Boston Celtics on Oct. 16 is $165 on the secondary market, which is 142% more expensive than the overall average purchase price ($68) for 76ers regular season home games in the 2025-26 season, according to TickPick.
Several non-premium tickets have reached as high as $589 for the preseason matchup on TickPick.
The vast majority of other preseason games in October featuring teams other than the 76ers have get-in prices well below the $100 mark, with some matchups offering tickets around the $30 range.

A few years ago, the closest most people could get to a buzzy, private company like **** eX was reading about it in the news.
Not anymore. In 2026, there are more ways in, and George got tired of just reading about it.
"I like tech, I like **** e," he said.
The Los Angeles-based entertainment professional, who asked to use a pseudonym, put $150,000 into a **** eX special purpose vehicle (SPV) on Hiive, a marketplace that sells accredited investors access to private companies. He added $45,000 into xAI, which later got folded into the **** eX position. By the start of July, the stake was worth $750,000. It's still locked up, with Hiive telling him they're still working out when that ends.

The club will hopefully announce Bodø/Glimt striker Kasper Høgh on a multi-million pound deal, after the Bhoys struck a record-breaking £11m transfer fee with the Norwegian side for his services.
News last night, as reported on Celtic Shorts, was that the big centre-forward has completed a successful medical in London ahead of the club confirming his signing on a four-year deal later today.
Martin O'Neill is in the marketplace for several more major targets, as the squad is in desperate need of refreshment following a close shave in Scottish football last year.
Hearts and Derek McInnes gave the 5IAR Champions a good run for their money, after Tony Bloom's initial involvement at the Tynecastle club, which could have easily been avoided, had proper investment in the playing squad been achieved last summer, as Brendan Rodgers continually pleaded for.
Now reports from Spain have confirmed that the World Cup star will return to pre-season training with the rest of his Real Oviedo teammates this midweek, as the Hoops' hierarchy has yet to strike an agreement with the Segunda Division side for the transfer to proceed. That is another frustrating update for Celtic supporters, but one that we are well used to, unfortunately.

Robbie Fowler has implored Liverpool to address one of their biggest 'problems' of recent years and ensure that there's adequate squad depth at Anfield by the end of the current transfer window.
The Reds went big in the marketplace a year ago by investing almost £450m in new signings, with much of that figure offset by player sales in a summer of massive upheaval in L4.

However, Andoni Iraola has inherited a squad shorn of several players through injuries of varying severity, although he'll gradually get his World Cup contingent back in the building over the next month.
Speaking from New York, where Liverpool play Wrexham in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday night, Fowler stressed the need for his former club to have sufficient competition for places so that every player is kept 'on their toes' and high standards are maintained on a daily basis.

US sportswear retailer Nike will bar major wholesale partners in China from selling its products online from January, shifting sales to its own branded storefronts instead.
The change means most of Nike's 16 store partners in China, which together own and operate thousands of Nike outlets, will stop selling online and shift entirely to in-store retail.
"Our marketplace has become so fragmented and cluttered. What consumers want is an experience that's premium, true to the brand, trustworthy, and certainly connected between digital and physical", Cathy Sparks, vice-president and Greater China general manager at Nike told Reuters.
Sales will instead be redirected to Nike-branded storefronts on Tmall, JD.com and Douyin, as well as its own website and app.
According to the company, the move aims to reduce marketplace fragmentation, restore consumer confidence, and back full-price sales.

Easy come, easy go. Except in the case of Roma’s ill-fated pursuit of Crysencio Summerville, nothing was easy. From haggling with West Ham over a transfer fee and meeting Summerville’s wage demands to fending off Al-Hilal and, perhaps the biggest pain in the ****** of all, canceling his flight to Rome, this transfer saga was troubled from the start.
However, now that Summerville has officially signed on the dotted line with Al-Hilal, Roma is free (or forced) to pursue other options. With their initial fallback option, Alejandro Garnacho, signing with Aston Villa, Tony D’Amico is reportedly pivoting to RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa.
A 21-year-old Norwegian international, Nusa lacks the schematic versatility of some of the other wingers we’ve discussed this summer, but he’s a menace on the left flank. Last season, Nusa ranked in the 70th percentile or higher in the following categories: successful dribbles, dribbling percentage, chances created, big chances created, successful crosses, and even tackles and interceptions. (Source: Fotmob)
In a word, Nusa is precisely the type of athletic and aggressive winger Gian Piero Gasperini craves. Of course, given the state of the marketplace, not to mention Roma’s desperation, he won’t come cheap. According to multiple sources in Italy, Nusa may cost close to €60 million.
So, will Roma go all in on Nusa and obliterate their record transfer fee, or is there a mysterious Plan D lurking in the shadows?

Baltimore Beatdown is proud to introduce this four-part series on Lamar Jackson from former Ravens running back Femi Ayanbadejo! He is a member of the 2000 Super Bowl championship team and an 11-year NFL veteran. He also holds an MBA from Johns Hopkins, with executive credentials from Harvard and Wharton, and has worked in sports media as an NFL ******* yst since 2013. Ayanbadejo is currently part of the radio team at 105.7 The Fan Baltimore.
Lamar Jackson trades like a meme stock in the marketplace of media and executive opinion. His perceived value surges after an MVP season, crashes after a playoff loss, and resets with almost no institutional memory of the underlying fundamentals. The film, the production, and the total body of work change gradually. The narrative price moves overnight.
Lamar Jackson is judged differently than any quarterback in recent memory. His accolades take the stairs up while his critics put him on the elevator down. Every achievement is earned slowly, scrutinized at every floor, and met at the top with a new reason it was not enough. Every criticism arrives instantly and is amplified before anyone checks whether it is true. Old narratives are zombie-like in their refusal to die. Evidence of underperformance is weighted against his entire body of work, while evidence of growth is often treated as temporary. When the facts change, the framing simply finds a new form.
That narrative volatility is visible right now. In the player-voted NFL Top 100, Jackson fell 67 places—from No. 2 to No. 69—after an injury-disrupted season in which he still finished fourth in passer rating at 103.8. Trevor Lawrence ranked 62nd and Bo Nix 59th, while ESPN's survey of more than 70 executives, coaches, and scouts placed Jackson fifth among quarterbacks. Colin Cowherd's movement was even more revealing: he ranked Jackson seventh in May, then 11th in July, choosing the "ascending" Drake Maye over an "expensive, declining" Jackson and announcing that he was "selling his stock." Skepticism about Jackson in major postseason moments is fair; declaring him a depreciating ******* et after one injury-marred season is not. He is 29. Matthew Stafford just won MVP at 37, Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning won at 37 or older, and Tom Brady won at 40. Meanwhile, Baltimore's supporting cast was ranked 22nd. When Jackson produces an MVP-caliber season, critics say he is loaded with talent. When preseason rankings arrive, that same supporting cast is considered below average while Jackson's individual value collapses. This is not consistent evaluation. It is narrative volatility. If every NFL player were available in a franchise draft today and the objective were to win now, I do not believe five players would be selected before Lamar Jackson.
People underestimating Jackson is not an occasional occurrence. It is his norm. The hyperbole surrounding him since before the draft has helped create a man largely impervious to nonsensical commentary. He rarely res

L1 Capital, an investment management firm, released its "L1 Capital International Fund" (unhedged) second-quarter 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. The letter discusses the current investment environment as a 'two-speed' but resilient global economy, accompanied by an uncertain future. The letter explores the potential of an AI bubble, distinguishing between strong fundamentals and speculative momentum. Additionally, the market displays a 'narrow' character, marked by high exuberance and ****** ounced over-pessimism. Against this backdrop, the Fund returned +2.6% (net of fees) during the June 2026 quarter, compared to the benchmark return of +12.5% (all in A$). The underperformance was driven more by which investments were not held in the Fund. The Fund remains focused on quality, valuation and the avoidance of permanent capital loss, and believes the portfolio is positioned to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns for patient investors. In addition, you can check the Fund's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, L1 Capital International Fund highlighted Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN). Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is a multinational technology and retail company known for its leading online marketplace and cloud platform. On July 16, 2026, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) closed at $247.23 per share. One-month return of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) was 6.20%, and its shares gained 10.51% over the past 52 weeks. Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) has a market capitalization of $2.69 trillion.
L1 Capital International Fund stated the following regarding Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"At an individual stock level, while the Fund had more positive contributors than negative detractors to returns, quarterly performance was again mixed. Amazon.com contributed around 1.0%. We remain excited by the outlook for Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), both for the ecommerce business and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Operational execution within ecommerce is consistently improving, and the June 2026 announcement to extend Amazon Freight services to the less-than-truckload market segment is an indication that management has sufficient comfort in the operational performance of the logistics network to further extend the platform to third parties.
We expect further increases in AWS's capital expenditure which will result in Amazon.com generating negative free cash flow. We believe the market remains overly focused on near-term free cash flow and continues to underappreciate the longer-term structural opportunity for the hyperscalers and the potential returns on their AI-related capital investment. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy's Letter to Shareholders in April 2026 is recommended reading, particularly his perspectives on AI and how Amazon is being positioned for what he considers to be a 'seminal shift'.

GameStop (GME) is taking another step to make its products more accessible to consumers. Through a new partnership with Uber Eats, announced on July 15, customers across the U.S. can now order video games, consoles, accessories, collectibles, and other electronics for on-demand or scheduled delivery directly from participating GameStop stores. The agreement expands GameStop's digital reach beyond its own stores and website, giving the retailer access to Uber Eats' growing retail marketplace as it looks to drive convenience and capture incremental sales.
The partnership is about strengthening its omnichannel strategy. Faster delivery could help the company capitalize on launch-day game releases, last-minute purchases, and impulse buying while enhancing customer engagement without significant capital investment. Although the deal looks unlikely to materially change GameStop's near-term earnings on its own, it demonstrates management's continued effort to modernize the business and diversify sales channels as the video game retail industry increasingly shifts toward convenience and digital commerce.

Wedgewood Partners, an investment management company, released its first-quarter 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. Wedgewood Composite delivered a net return of 9.4% in the second quarter compared to 15.2% for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, 16.7% for the Russell 1000 Growth Index, and 13.9% for the Russell 1000 Value Index. The firm is optimistic about the long-term growth of hyperscalers and has increased its investments in this sector, citing their significant earnings potential and crucial role in AI adoption. Capital has also been redirected towards technology hardware stocks, especially semiconductors, which now make up a larger share of the S&P 500 Index. Semiconductor stocks have benefited from hyperscalers' spending, but the firm expresses caution about cyclical risk and volatility. However, the momentum-driven market negatively affected the Wedgewood fund's high-quality stocks, leading to a 25% return over the past 15 months, significantly underperforming the 90% gain of the S&P 500 Momentum ETF (SPMO). In addition, please check the Fund's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.

(NASDAQ:AMZN) has a market capitalization of $2.69 trillion.
Wedgewood Partners stated the following regarding Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"Although Microsoft, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Meta have different business models and were not necessarily top drivers of performance during the quarter, we view their investment opportunity set, from both a compounding and returns perspective and a component-cost hedge perspective, as similar to Alphabet's.
As we have noted before, Amazon is another member of this elite group generating high returns, and we think it is being quite rational by rapidly compounding its **** et base at these returns. During the quarter, Amazon grew revenue by 17% and operating income by 30%. While the bears continue to complain about Amazon's $200 billion in capex growth and dwindling free cash flow, we estimate this incremental capex will increase the 2025 total **** et base by around 28%. With 30% cash flow growth on what we **** ume is at least 28% **** et growth, we conclude Amazon is achieving at least as good, if not better, returns on capital than it has previously - yet the stock is trading near historically depressed multiples.

DoorDash on Tuesday announced a deeper dive into the retail world by allowing independent merchants on Shopify that also have a physical store to easily add their product catalog to the DoorDash marketplace, further highlighting how it is becoming a competitor to Amazon, Walmart, Uber Eats, Roadie and legion of independent couriers in the on-demand e-commerce delivery **** e.
The delivery platform has been expanding for several years beyond its origin model of delivering restaurant meals into grocery and retail delivery. Last month, DoorDash (NASDAQ: DASH) announced a partnership with Autoparts.com for its gig drivers to deliver parts orders for the online retailer in under an hour.
The Shopify (NASDAQ: SHOP) integration targets small-and-medium sized local businesses as the next growth category. Retailers can add their products to the DoorDash marketplace by enabling a new sales channel within the Shopify app store, with no separate onboarding process, manual catalog uploads or disruption to existing operations, DoorDash said in a news release.
""Merchants want to sell wherever their customers are, and increasingly that means meeting them with speed and convenience," said Atlee Clark, vice president of partnerships at Shopify. "This integration puts local retailers in front of millions of DoorDash shoppers and turns same-day demand into sales, all managed inside Shopify."
DoorDash said products and inventory are automatically aligned in the system so when a customer orders what's on DoorDash always matches what's on the shelf, without the retailer having to manually manage stock levels.

Happen Inc. (NASDAQ:HAPN) is one of the 8 Most Undervalued Growth Stocks to Buy for the Next 10 Years. On June 30, BTIG raised the firm's price target on Happen Inc. (NASDAQ:HAPN) to $25 from $20 and kept a Buy rating on the stock. The upward price target revision reflects a 28% upside from current levels. This upside is higher than the median Wall Street ****** ysts' upside of 18% based on 10 ****** ysts' estimates. The firm updated its forecasts for speciality finance companies ahead of the second-quarter earnings season. It believes the revised price targets reflect where the stock could trade by June 2027. Moreover, many companies in the sector will see significant earnings improvement as inflation concerns ease and the outlook for Federal Reserve interest rates becomes clearer, BTIG tells investors in a research note.
Earlier on June 22, Happen Inc. announced the official launch of the Happen Bank brand. Also, on the same day, the company was listed on Nasdaq.
