Sportradar Group AG shares finished Wednesday at $12.89 on Nasdaq, slipping 0.8%. That move came before U.S. markets opened Thursday. The stock has dropped around 46% since the start of the year, MarketScreener data show.

Charlton Aria Stock Draws Attention After Muted Post-Holiday Session

Charlton Aria Acquisition Corp Class A shares traded at about $10.73 on light volume Tuesday morning. Fewer than 3,000 shares had changed hands, with market focus still on the blank-check firm’s late filings and its deal deadline, not general market gains. Timing is in focus. U.S. stocks started trading again after closing on Monday for Memorial Day, and Charlton faces a Nasdaq compliance deadline in under three weeks for its overdue annual report. The 2026 Nasdaq holiday schedule puts May 25 down as a full market holiday.

Why Flutter’s FanDuel CEO Shake-Up Is Bigger Than Amy Howe’s Exit

Flutter Entertainment has swapped out FanDuel CEO Amy Howe, naming FanDuel President Christian Genetski as her successor. Dan Taylor, who leads the company's international arm, steps in as group president, now supervising the U.S. segment—an effort to pull the reins tighter on its top growth engine. The timing is notable; Flutter trimmed its 2026 forecast right alongside the move. The company is now looking for group revenue to hit $18.305 billion, with adjusted EBITDA expected at $2.865 billion—both figures at the midpoint and both lower than what it had previously laid out. Earlier guidance called for $18.4 billion in revenue and $2.97 billion in adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, which takes out interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and certain company-defined adjustments, serves

Coca-Cola Earnings Beat Raises 2026 Profit Forecast — Why KO Stock Is Moving

Coca-Cola lifted its 2026 profit growth outlook on Tuesday, following a first-quarter showing that topped Wall Street’s estimates.

This update lands at a time when investors are scrutinizing whether packaged-food and beverage makers can keep expanding, even without hefty price increases. Coca-Cola stuck with its organic revenue growth target—a non-GAAP metric that excludes things like currency and acquisition impacts—but bumped up its comparable earnings-per-share forecast.

Andrew “Andy” Higginson stepped down as chair of JD Sports Fashion after his attempt to oust Chief Executive Regis Schultz failed to gain full board support, the Financial Times said Friday, citing four sources with knowledge of the situation. According to Reuters, which relayed the FT’s story, Higginson had urged the board to replace Schultz, who has been in the role for three and a half years.

Running large language models, the engines powering chatbots, racks up significant costs, and the business value is now under renewed scrutiny as the industry shifts from demos toward real-world deployment.
