Image source, Amazon MGM Studios Image caption, The expansion proposal promises to create "a world-class studio blending function and desirability" Published 8 hours ago Amazon MGM Studios' planned expansion of a Berkshire-based complex would be a "considerable boost" for filmmaking, a government-funded industry body said. Bray Film Studios, in Water Oakley, near Windsor, was previously used by the Hammer Films company. The previous owner of the studios got planning permission to expand them in 2022 and Amazon MGM bought the site in 2024. The British Film Commission (BFC) said it "recognises that the studio benefits from Amazon MGM's commitment" and welcomed its "ambition to support employment opportunities for both the local community and more widely across the UK sector". The company has been using the site since 2022 and a public consultation regarding the expansion project closed in May. Amazon MGM said its current proposals, which i...

Image source, Getty Images Published 2 hours ago You're finally about to head off on a well-earned break, but there's one more task to tick off your to-do list: composing an out-of-office reply. Many will be all too familiar with debating how much information to include and how available you will be - and whether to inject some personality into your message, or even risk cracking a joke. Experts say there are clear dos and don'ts when it comes to writing an out-of-office message (OOO) - and getting it wrong can have more serious consequences than you might think. Here are their rules to penning the perfect out-of-office reply. 'Avoid oversharing or boasting' Debretts, an etiquette consultancy, says a good automatic reply should be polite and concise, give a specific return date, and provide another point of contact if appropriate. But you should avoid oversharing, for instance including the specifics of your holiday plans, or boasting about things like second h...

A wave of South Korean investors is flocking to U.S. markets to avoid a correction at home, even as global investors pile in. Korean retail investors net sold domestic stocks for most of last week, even as the benchmark index entered bull market territory, according to Korea Exchange data. Overseas investors reversed course to become net buyers. Here are five things related to those investors: Of the $4.5 billion in U.S. stocks Korean investors net bought in July, around $840 million went into the chipmaker's U.S.-listed depositary receipts, according to Korea Securities Depository data. SK Hynix's ADRs were the second most net-purchased U.S. securities, even though Korean investors can buy the same company directly at home. The U.S. receipts have traded at a premium to the Korean shares, which Owen Lamont, senior vice president of Acadian Asset Management, said was about 10% recently. They're also exhibiting greater volatility. "That's absolutely crazy," Lam...

Home Depot CEO Takes Medical Leave. What This Means for HD Stock Ahead of Earnings. Yiannis Zourmpanos Sun, August 16, 2026 at 8:30 AM PDT 4 min read HD Investors in Home Depot (HD) stock were greeted by a surprise on Tuesday when CEO Ted Decker said he was taking a brief medical leave that will last a few months. The timing comes only days before the home improvement behemoth releases fiscal second-quarter results on Aug. 18. But there is a key nuance here for investors. Decker has not resigned, and Home Depot has put in place two very experienced executives to split Decker's duties. Ann-Marie Campbell, senior executive vice president of U.S. stores and operations, will handle operations, while CFO Richard McPhail will handle finance and the company's Pro subsidiaries. For now, this looks more like a brief governance problem than a change to the underlying investment thesis on Home Depot.

Los Angeles Lakers governor Jeanie Buss is opposing the potential sale of her family's stake in the NBA team, contradicting an earlier ESPN report about the family's decision to sell to Bob Iger and Joshua Kushner. In a letter obtained by CNBC addressed to law firms representing Jeanie Buss's siblings Jim, Johnny, Janie, Joey and Jesse her lawyer Adam Streisand says Jeanie Buss has not agreed to sell the team and that any vote suggesting the Buss family is selling "would be and is void." Streisand argues in the letter that Jeanie Buss remains the controlling shareholder of the Lakers, pursuant to a 2017 court order, and that no sale can take place without her consent. "No sale of the JAB Trust's 17.8% ownership interest in the Los Angeles Lakers, Inc. can be effectuated without approval by the current co-trustees, i.e., Jeanie, Janie and Joey Buss. Pursuant to the JAB Trust and the attached Court Order, the co-trustees are bound to vote the Los Angeles L...

New surveys show central banks are ditching the dollar and buying more gold instead should you follow along? Laura Grande Sun, August 16, 2026 at 3:20 AM PDT 8 min read GC=F DX-Y.NYB Picture Alliance/ Getty Images Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. Central banks are still piling into gold and new surveys suggest they're also preparing to reduce their exposure to the U.S. dollar over the longer term. That's the takeaway from a new survey (1) of global reserve managers. The Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF) says it's the first time its survey has found more central banks planning to reduce their dollar exposure over the next decade than increase it.

A law signed by former President Joe Biden unlocked higher Social Security payments for 3.2 million people who worked as police officers, firefighters, teachers and other public servants across the country, according to The Hill (1).

Apple Could Hit $400, But AI Is Coming for Its Most Profitable Business Ghazal Ahmed Mon, August 17, 2026 at 10:21 AM PDT 3 min read AAPL Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL ) received a major vote of confidence from Rothschild Redburn today, with the firm upgrading the stock from Neutral to "Buy" and raising its price target to $400 from $260. The upgrade rests on two major catalysts for Apple: its entry into premium foldables and a strategic reset to the Apple Intelligence platform. The iPhone Ultra Could Drive the Next Growth Cycle Apple's bull case lies within its tight integration of premium hardware, proprietary silicon, and its rapidly expanding services layer. For the near future, analyst James Cordwell anticipates iPhone sales to grow at a 12% five-year annual compound rate, roughly 3-14% above consensus expectations between fiscal 2026 and 2030. This anticipated increase is backed by Apple's potential entry into the premium foldables market, particularly with the laun...

Prediction markets traders still see Paramount Skydance as likely to succeed in its bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery , but a battle in court with 12 state attorneys general is increasing the chances that the merger falls through. Traders on prediction market platform Kalshi think that there's a 74% likelihood that Paramount will acquire Warner Bros. by July 2027, while there are 22% odds that a deal doesn't go through by that date. Before California and 11 other states sued to block the merger on July 13, odds Paramount would succeed in acquiring the company were over 80%. However, the likelihood the merger would be successful fell to as low as 66% on July 24 when Paramount announced it would delay the acquisition to 2027. On Kalshi, speculators are asked in the market who will successfully take over Warner Bros. before July 2027, and contracts are resolved from news reports, official press releases and or government filings. Meanwhile, on platform Polymarket , odds are ...

Corvus Pharmaceuticals (CRVS): This Clinical-Stage Drugmaker Just Got A Lot More Interesting Maham Fatima Mon, August 17, 2026 at 8:16 AM PDT 3 min read CRVS On August 6, Corvus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CRVS ) held its second-quarter 2026 earnings call, and the story was almost entirely about one molecule. Soquelitinib, the company's oral ITK inhibitor, is now being tested across five different diseases at once, from a rare blood cancer to asthma. That kind of breadth from a single-asset biotech is either a sign of real conviction in the science or a company spreading itself thin before it has proven anything. The quarter's numbers and trial updates offer evidence for both readings. Corvus Pharmaceuticals (CRVS): This Clinical-Stage Drugmaker Just Got A Lot More Interesting Bull Case: One Drug, Many Doors The clearest bright spot is atopic dermatitis. In the highest-dose cohort of a Phase 1 trial, presented at the Society for Investigative Dermatology meeting, 75% of soqueliti...

Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller Tripled His Stake in United Airlines (UAL). Should You Buy? Fahad Saleem Mon, August 17, 2026 at 7:15 AM PDT 2 min read UAL Latest 13F filings show that billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller 's Duquesne Family Office increased its holding in United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: UAL) by over 200%, ending the June quarter with 794,795 shares. United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: UAL) recent quarterly results showed revenue jumped 16% year over year. EPS also beat expectations, despite declines due to fuel cost pressures. Management said the company sees a recovery in fuel cost pressure in fiscal Q3, with full recovery by Q4. Valuation UAL trades at a forward P/E of 12.10, a 43% discount to the industrials sector median of 21.24. The stock looks even cheaper on a growth-adjusted basis: its forward PEG ratio of 0.68 is well below the sector median of 1.69, meaning the market is pricing in far less earnings growth than analysts actually expect.
