Gas-powered vehicle sales, excluding hybrids, have fallen below 50% of global new vehicle sales for the first time, according to Mobility Global data.

Gas-powered vehicle sales fell 10% year-on-year from January through June 2026, reaching 20.25 million vehicles.

As a result, their share of global new vehicle sales dropped by 3 percentage points to 49%.

The milestone marks a significant change in the global automotive market, where gasoline-powered vehicles have historically made up the majority of new-car sales.

As electric vehicles and other electrified powertrains continue to expand their share of the market, the latest figures show gasoline-only vehicles have now slipped into the minority worldwide.

The 49% figure represents another major milestone in the ongoing global shift towards vehicle electrification.

It is very naive to think that after IBM 100+ years we were not able to construct corrupted relations, Chinese, Vietnamese, and now it is very difficult for Indian people to enter in that market or mafias, One example is when a Chinese manager asks a Vietnamese co-worker to transfer knowledge to a new hire certainly not their, nor Chinese nor Vietnamese origin the knowledge transfer becomes a very formal procedure, maybe 15 minutes a day for a few days. They feel wanting claiming their cushy seats and see any new comers a danger.

ConocoPhillips Chairman Ryan Lance said on ​Monday he expects the oil price floor ‌to rise to around $70 per barrel and sees a mid-cycle price of $65 to $70 per barrel ​for the US West Texas Intermediate ​crude benchmark.

EchoStar is managing three very different restructuring tracks as Hughes, DWLLC, and DBS move through their respective Chapter 11 processes. Hughes may soon lose exclusivity (debtor driven), which would allow creditors to advance their own plan. DWLLC is preparing for a mutually agreed mediator, and if talks fail, Judge Lopez will select a mediator and impose a formal standstill. DBS has already exited Chapter 11, thus leaving EchoStar with two active cases that are increasingly shaped by creditor pressure.

The contrast reflects the industries each business operates in.

• DBS is part of the mature and shrinking pay‑TV sector.Cash flow is predictable, churn patterns are somewhat stable, and capital needs are limited. This allowed creditors to model recoveries and support a fast, clean reorganization.
• Hughes competes in the capital‑intensive satellite broadband and enterprise connectivity market. Competition from fiber, fixed wireless, and LEO constellations is increasing. Collateral tied to satellites and ground infrastructure loses value quickly when investment slows, which is driving creditors to push for control and an end to exclusivity.
• DWLLC operated in a volatile wireless and 5G infrastructure industry.
Tower leases, fiber backhaul, FCC buildout milestones, and spectrum strategy created significant operational risk. When DWLLC’s buildout stalled and regulatory scrutiny intensified, the business could not meet industry obligations (force majeure litigated by creditors). Judge Lopez was prompted to halt litigation and may force mediation to prevent administrative insolvency.

As for employees, stay aligned with near-term value creation, because creditors prioritize immediate cash flow and operational stability. Avoid relying on long-term internal promises until restructuring paths are clearer. Maintain professional readiness. Stay informed as mediation outcomes and exclusivity rulings can change direction quickly.

Let’s be real for a moment. Posting rants, slamming, or bad-mouthing EH, VA or others doesn’t actually change anything.

It might feel like a quick emotional release in the moment, but in reality, it rarely accomplishes anything positive. Worse, it puts a massive target on your back. Anonymity online is rarely as secure as people think, and if your identity is ever traced back to you, the fallout in this market isn't worth a temporary venting session.

On the way to $56 a share. What you all miss is that the current price jump is because of geopolitical conflicts. But the higher price and revenues help pay down debt much faster. The 700+ layoffs add another 400-500 mm to cash flow. Keeping salary raises and bonus low will likely add another 1B for buybacks or cash flow which should all drive stock price higher. Divestment will further improve the balance sheet. If any of the projects does not work out next year, they will no longer get capital for investment. Work hard, love what you do, and the share price increase will get us more secure and increase our market cap to at least 130B by next year.

So based on the reporting I’m seeing, we have no real insider buying by our executives. While they tell us the market doesn’t understand our business, we are undervalued, blah blah blah… they rarely really buy when our stock is at a low not seen since 2012. They are just holding out for an exit package.

"Hello, FIS Board? This is Wall Street calling again. Have you guys been getting our messages? We're wondering if you guys are ok way up there in the tower. Seems the 52 week lows didn't get your attention, and our string of ever-descending 10-year lows don't seem to be working either. Is everything ok? If you are being held hostage or something, try texting us or maybe calling and signaling SOS with touch tones. We just don't know what to think. The boys and I have been trying to figure out what to do next to get your attention, since the 10-years lows aren't working, and we all know Steffi doesn't think the stock price reflects market sentiment. We certainly hope you understand our market better than that. At any rate, if you get this, give us a call and let us know you're ok. While you're at it, can you clean up the mess you made? Thanks!"

I remember growing up with some amazing Nike commercials. Athletes. Product. Storytelling. Fun. They were a huge part of what made Nike feel like Nike.

Caitlin gave us a taste of what we’ve been missing, but that can’t be it. Nike has so many incredible athletes and so many great stories to tell. Where are the big, memorable campaigns and commercials?

BASF is reportedly in exploratory negotiations to acquire Evonik, another major German chemical company. This potential merger comes as both companies face challenges in the cosmetics and personal care raw materials sector, with slowing growth and increased competition. The deal could significantly reshape the global beauty and personal care ingredient market if it proceeds. Both companies have complementary strengths, with BASF offering scale and a broad product line, while Evonik excels in specialty chemicals and high-end additives. The move may signal a broader trend of consolidation in the upstream beauty industry as companies seek to navigate market pressures.

Today’s RBC challenge: Sunit has the microphone. Please don’t scare anybody. CCI doesn’t need analysts to suddenly decide it’s worth $94 today. It just needs the market to become less convinced that $67 makes sense.

The stock has been hammered, with Treasury rates being a major headwind, but there hasn’t been some new company disaster to explain this price. So today would be a great day for clear numbers, confidence and maybe even a smile. No panic face. No corporate word salad. Just explain the business and remind Wall Street that Crown isn’t actually on fire. Come on, Sunit. You’ve got one job today do it!

Stock downgraded by JPM…Stock trading at 52 week low

Here we go again; more stock buybacks today to full the investors to try and get some momentum going.

Can never simply rely on relying on the fruits of the day to day operations to do our talking for us. Always have to manipulate the markets. Pitiful.

What would happen if it hits 15? CEO firing I presume at least, maybe a PE takeover

White space, commercial, white space, underpenetrated (eww), white space,…

Looks like the market finally realized how far behind Schwab is on AI, and thinks it is unrecoverable.

If you sold at the peak, congratulations!

The market is predicting a 15% depreciation through January next year. Just check the number of put-options.

Down roughly 2%, after first breaking the prior 52 week low at $47.01. Friday's close was $47.19.

Notable because the broader market is moving the opposite direction today. The Nasdaq was up about 1.5%, helped by falling oil prices and Treasury yields. So Fiserv's weakness continues to be company specific/relative underperformance rather than simply the market dragging it lower.

Recently hired in a new market hub, that's a huge step-up from some of the older stores around here! Team synergy is tops too, that sure helps.
If any of you is looking for positions, look for market hubs, you won't be disappointed. I can see why they want to open more of these. We have so much parts stocked as well, I didn't have to shoo away customers yet, such a great feeling

What is Marvin the marvelous doing about the stock sinking to new year lows.

They’ve been trying to corner the market with AI bs for months. Now is the time to dump.

The 1 year estimate of $12.96 seems a bit of a stretch……..

When the staff drops the 5-7% based on industry average, hopefully Fidelity will also fix the pay issues.

My BU hasn’t given raises in the last 3 years and said it’s based on market pay. With inflation hitting 20% since the start of the pandemic, compensation should be reviewed again.

How does Abby expect people to care about her bottom line when people are on government assistance and can’t afford groceries?

I used to think Florida was considered a strong growth market for the bank. Seems like it collapsed after putting the short heavy set guy that looks like Alan from The Hangover in charge. Anyone have any insight into that market? Are there constant resignations? Noone wants to work there? What is going on?

I was suspecting that PK stepped in to buy to create support at that level. LOL JK

Today, NKE blew pass $37.00 as if it doesn't exist. And it comfortably found home at upper $36.00. That is if market will not turn south at the last hour of trading session.
So don't be surprised if ends the day at low $36.00

With Iran War, Trade War and Inflation as factor, I don't think anyone will step in and buy.

Nike is caught between rock and a hard place.

Through end of year. Maybe just out Pepsi market

Few posts online are claiming that people are abandoning their homes, leaving cars at airports and flying out of the country, this could be a early sign or a social media speculation of repeat of past 2008 housing crisis ?

New American Funding has laid off 160 employees in its consumer direct division. This reduction is a direct response to current mortgage market conditions. Elevated interest rates have significantly suppressed refinance volume. The company stated the decision was made thoughtfully and responsibly to align operations with market realities. They expressed gratitude for the contributions of affected team members.

I hope it keeps going down. All those company stock buy backs are wasted capital and creating a bigger doom loop.

Guess you can’t trust the markets to fairly set the market price based on the merits of your corporation’s actual running of the business. So, you have to revert to playing three card monte, hide the Queen.

I could not believe my eyes when I read the email yesterday from the leadership on new strategy. Dividing our markets into core, light and cross border will further weaken PP against Revolut outside US and Germany. And how long after Germans who travel outside and see everyone using Revolut decide to switch over themselves. This will weaken us against our competitors even further. I see share price and market share collapsing now to likes of Apple Pay and Revolut Pay.
