I'm incredibly proud of the speed and precision the team has shown in handling the migration of an existing business from another technical solution. "We are excited about sharing our roadmap of new features with betM and are thrilled to get this validation for the hard work and planning that the team have put into building the Apollo platform." MIXI's growth plans in Australia include the acquisition of PointsBet, which has been recommended by the board of directors of PointsBet for shareholder approval at a meeting in June.

The new generation of Oracle's enterprise software solution, Oracle Fusion, especially Oracle Cloud Supply Chain Management offerings, are not shy from providing such interface methods to its users.

The price of the risky bonds has crashed by as much as 25pc in recent weeks as a wave of fear swept the market, with investors panicking that Deutsche Bank could struggle to pay the interest coupon on the bonds. The bank insisted that it has plenty of liquidity available to service its debts and bought back almost €5bn (£3.9bn) of senior bonds to illustrate the point.

Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk ( volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK ( TheStreet ) -- Citigroup (NYSE: C ) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, attractive valuation levels, solid stock price performance and growth in earnings per share.

The securitization market has changed dramatically over the past several years, as this product, acquiring momentum in 2000, ran headlong into a recession. Immediately after Sept. 11, Fitch Ratings of New York put instruments issued by Putnam Lovell and Constellation on credit watch negative because of the potential effect of further declines in the equity market (see MFMN, 9/28/01). By December 2001, Moody's Investors Service downgraded credit ratings of securitizations issued by Constellation and Citibank. By this past December, Fitch downgraded $246 million of 12b-1 securitizations from Putnam Lovell and Constellation. "Last year, the market was pretty dry for this asset class," said Lily Cheung, director at Standard & Poor's in New York.

WeWork has kept its offices open despite the virus, even while other co-working operators have closed them. That may be because revenue would disappear otherwise, just as SoftBank is trying to engineer a turnaround. One executive who usually uses a WeWork office on Park Avenue in New York said hardly anyone shows up anymore. His WeWork representative has stopped coming to the site and works remotely. He figures customers may be canceling their leases or simply not paying, which would leave WeWork on the hook for rent owed to the landlord, Tishman Speyer. "None of us are going to the office," he said. "But we've decided for now to just kick any decisions down the road for six months." Then there's Oyo, which is in a particularly tricky spot. The Indian company has been expanding rapidly by guaranteeing a certain amount of revenue to hotels if they sign on as franchisees.

Hong Kong SFC (20/3/25): "The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) today issued additional guidance in a circular for licensed corporations (LCs) on IPO subscription and financing services to enhance their risk management practices and protect investors from undue financial risks. This came after the SFC identified deficiencies in a recently-completed review of the IPO financing activities of selected LCs. In particular, some of the LCs were found to have engaged in imprudent and aggressive IPO financing practices by accepting subscription orders that exceed their clients' financial capabilities. In some cases, the LCs primarily focused on the subscription levels or anticipated subscription rates of IPO stocks rather than the financial positions of clients, which could result in over-leveraging for clients and subject LCs themselves to an increased client default risk. The additional guidance in the circular sets out the SFC's expected standards of conduct and control measures for LCs. | not-forward | www.caproasia.com | https://www.caproasia.com/2025/03/21/hong-kong-sfc-issues-new-ipo-guidelines-requiring-10-downpayment-for-ipo-margin-loan-for-retail-investors-new-hong-kong-fini-system-fast-interface-for-new-issuance-shortened-ipo-pricing-to-listing |

Fitch Ratings has downgraded PulteGroup's issuer default (IDR) and senior unsecured ratings from BB+ to BB, according to MarketWatch. The outlook has been revised to negative from stable. The downgrade in the PHM ratings and change in outlook reflect the still very challenging U.S. housing market. PHM's underperformance relative to its peers in certain operational and financial categories penalizes the ratings and influences the outlook. Macroeconomic housing statistics (new and existing home sales, single-family housing starts) generally remained weak and disappointing through June and July. However, there was a seasonal pick-up in the spring orders compared to the winter. The public builders reported clear improvement in traffic during the spring selling season.

Australia's big four banks had their credit ratings cut by Standard & Poor's as a result of major changes in the criteria it uses to assess risk. ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank and Westpac were each cut one notch to AA-minus, the fourth-highest credit rating on S&P's scale. Macquarie Group was cut by two levels to BBB, the ninth-highest grade. The ratings cuts though, have largely been ignored by investors in early trading, with all four of the big banks. Macquarie Group bucked the trend to be slightly lower on a day when the overall market was up about 0.2 per cent.

Even as federal judges in Stockton and Detroit both ruled that cities could cut pensions in a municipal restructuring, both places left bankruptcy in recent weeks with promised pensions largely intact. Bondholders' recoveries, however, varied widely. Credit rating agencies are generally wary of such restructurings. "The disparate treatment of pension obligations and investor-owned obligations means that pensions are likely to enjoy better treatment than general government debt in Michigan and California Chapter 9 cases, and potentially in bankruptcies filed in other states," wrote Moody's this week in a credit analysis. "[This has] negative credit implications for local government bond investors in Michigan and California, and the U.S. as a whole." On the plus side, Moody's added that the clear option to cut pensions in bankruptcy now may give cities leverage in union negotiations. This could be helpful to distressed cities. | not-forward | www.governing.com | https://www.governing.com/week-in-finance/gov-week-in-public-finance-broke-in-pennsylvania-bankruptcy-lessons-and-pensions.html?AMP |
Sprint blew it by not reaching a "win-win arrangement with Clearwire," according to Moody's. As for Clearwire, Moody's downgraded it one notch to Caa2 ("Speculative Grade: Very Poor"), mainly for the likelihood that Sprint won't extending the present 4G agreement it has with Clearwire. As such, the company will have to find another partner or sell of its most valuable assets, its spectrum licenses, to pay its debt obligations after next year. Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill ( NYS: MHP ), also jumped on the pile, last week threatening Sprint with a downgrade. It didn't like the increased debt load that Sprint would have to take on with its plans to accelerate its own network upgrade.

And Evans' comments aren't without merit. According to Box Office Mojo, five of the top ten superhero movies of all time are movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the first Avengers film taking the top spot and each individual film has been commercially successful in its own right. Each individual franchise has spawned sequels and beyond, the most recent being the third film in the Thor franchise, Thor: Ragnarok. And it's that kind of success that is leading Marvel into what could be a massive year. The two most-anticipated films of 2018 are both MCU films, Avengers: Infinity War, and Black Panther, which is already forecasted to bring in $120 million during its opening weekend — a sum that would put it ahead of Spider-Man: Homecoming 's massively successful $117 million first weekend. | forward | comicbook.com | https://comicbook.com/marvel/2018/01/13/chris-evans-marvel-doesnt-miss |
