Coterra Energy topped Wall Street expectations Thursday with first-quarter results that further proved the Club holding's nimble production strategy is the right one for shareholders. Revenue in the three months ended March 31 fell 19% year over year to $1.43 billion, beating the consensus forecast of $1.39 billion, according to analyst estimates compiled by LSEG. Adjusted diluted earnings per share fell 41% versus the year-ago period to 51 cents, but still exceeded expectations of 41 cents, LSEG data showed. Coterra Energy Why we own it: Formed by the merger of Cabot Oil & Gas and Cimarex, Coterra Energy is an exploration-and-production company with a high-quality, diversified asset portfolio. The company practices capital discipline and is a low-cost operator. It's committed to returning 50% or greater of annual free cash flow to shareholders. Our lone energy stock, Coterra also acts as a hedge on inflation and geopolitical risk. Competitors: EQT Corp ., Devon Energy , Marathon Oil Last buy: April 16, 2024 Initiation: April 14, 2022 Bottom line Coterra delivered a strong first quarter, fueled by clean execution. Getting more out of the ground without necessarily spending more is what makes energy producers capital efficient. Coterra provided exactly what we wanted in the January-to-March period: production above the midpoint of guidance, oil production above the high end and capital expenditures below the low end. In addition, we were pleased to see Coterra raise its full-year oil production outlook without moving its capex guidance. This momentum is the result of CEO Tom Jorden's decision three months ago to shift its production strategy to focus on oil and liquid-rich plays away from natural gas, a prudent decision given the current economics of the two commodities. Since the start of the year, U.S. oil benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude has rallied more than 10%...

The Securities and Exchange Commission under a second Donald Trump presidency would roll back the aggressive stance the government agency has taken against corporate giants with current chairman Gary Gensler at the helm, according to people familiar with the matter.
If Trump were to defeat President Joe Biden in November, the SEC under his administration would likely start by curtailing many of the rules recently put in place tied to the environment, according to experts and people close to the former president. An initial target of the SEC under a second Trump administration would be to roll back the new climate disclosure rules, these people explained.

Amgen on Thursday said it will stop developing its experimental weight loss pill and instead move forward with its injectable drug and other products in development for obesity.
The announcement is a setback for Amgen, which is among several drugmakers racing to join the red-hot weight loss drug space dominated by Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, which some analysts say could be worth $100 billion by the end of the decade. But the company has other opportunities to capture a slice of the market.

Selecting a fourth Conservative prime minister in two years would make this country even more of a laughing stock.
The threat facing Rishi Sunak on Friday has been clearly signalled for months. Disastrous Conservative performances in this week’s local and mayoral English contests – the last significant test of the political mood before the general election – could open the window of opportunity for his party to topple his leadership. Before a single local election vote had been cast, it was clear that a minority of MPs were determined to attempt this. Mr Sunak has known for months that this is a moment of vulnerability.
It is not yet clear whether the Conservatives’ results are sufficiently dire to trigger a more widespread revolt. The votes have not even all been counted yet. But this will not deter the prime minister’s committed opponents. Talk of MPs submitting letters to the chair of the backbench 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady, demanding a confidence vote will grow predictably loud over the weekend. Whether a confidence vote will actually happen remains a question for the future.

The high level of US debt issuance signals to investors that they should expect yields to move higher, not lower, according to "bond king" Bill Gross.

The Tesla Cybertruck is, famously, a vehicle with a reputation problem. This video of a Cybertruck owner appearing to have his finger almost cut off by his truck's motorized front hatch is not going to help.
It was discovered early this year in the days just after the Cybertruck's debut that the "frunk" (front trunk) was disturbingly capable when repurposed as a food slicer. Where competitor vehicles with automatic hatch closures would generally stop if they encountered blobs of fleshy, tender, organic material — possibly loaded with nerve endings — the Cybertruck was apparently more than happy to sever the object cleanly In one comparison test the Cybertruck fared the worst at avoiding hatch-related carnage among the other vehicles sampled, although some others did at least some damage to vegetables.

With great fanfare, the Biden Administration recently announced new regulations aimed at increasing staffing at nursing homes and boosting pay for some home care workers. The laudable intention: To improve care for frail older adults and younger people with disabilities. But don’t expect changes anytime soon. It will be years before either of these rules are fully implemented.
The new nursing home rule requires facilities to have sufficient staff to provide an average of least 3.48 hours of daily care for each resident. Separately, home care agencies will have to dedicate 80 percent of their Medicaid payments to staff compensation.

At the end of April, David Satterfield, the Biden Administration’s envoy for humanitarian aid in the Middle East, announced that the flow of food and medicine into Gaza had been improving. Satterfield’s comments came after months of requests from President Biden—who has been supporting the Israeli government militarily and diplomatically—for Israel to allow additional aid into the territory. More than thirty-four thousand Gazans have already been killed in Israel’s military campaign, and the enclave remains at serious risk of famine—a risk that Satterfield acknowledged. (Several weeks ago, Save the Children, a humanitarian group, reported that twenty-seven Gazan children have died from starvation and health conditions related to malnourishment.) The situation is especially dire in the northern part of Gaza, where around three hundred thousand people still live. The majority of the population is now in the south.
Almost eight months into the war, I wanted to understand how much aid is actually reaching Gazans. I recently spoke by phone with Arif Husain, the chief economist of the United Nations World Food Programme, which both collects data on where people are in need of food and helps to provide food to needy populations. Our conversation, edited for length and clarity, is below.

May 2, 2024 – When does old age begin? Evidently, it depends on who you ask. And when you were born. For millions of people born between 1952 and 1974, the line in the sand between middle and old age is a moving target, according to German researcher Markus Wettstein, PhD.
“Every 4 or 5 years, our perceived onset of old age has shifted one year or higher,” said Wettstein, who, along with a team of researchers from the Humboldt University of Berlin, examined data collected from over 14,000 German adults born during the 20th century, starting in 1911.
