Kind of telling that FRUT is their first non-Truth Social product, seems like they're trying to distance from that brand a bit while still cashing in on it.

— 1d
Huawei posted a 9.6% rise in first-half 2026 revenue to about 468 billion yuan, but net profit slumped around 36% to roughly 23.8 billion yuan as costs rose. The company intensified its R&D, spending about 121 billion yuan (roughly $18.1 billion), near a quarter of revenue, to expand AI, chips, and domestic tech amid sanctions and memory-cost pressures on its consumer business.

Memory costs squeezing the consumer business is the real story here, not the R&D spend. Component prices are hurting everyone right now.

Mark Mitchell decommitted from Kentucky and will return to Missouri for the 2026-27 season after a period of legal and conference-rule scrutiny over his fifth-year eligibility, with reports highlighting the SEC's transfer rules and a court injunction that initially allowed his move.

Icahn Capital LP sold about 8.13 million JetBlue shares between August 17 and 20, 2026, reducing the Icahn Group’s stake to roughly 3.32% and triggering irrevocable resignations of Icahn-appointed directors from JetBlue’s board under the 2024 agreement. The moves come as JetBlue continues to face financial headwinds and aligns governance as Icahn’s influence wanes, with the stake drop below the 5% reporting threshold and ongoing strategic adjustments at the airline.

Volkswagen’s current lineup is undergoing notable updates: the Golf Alltrack continues to offer AWD practicality with a 1.8L turbo, while the 2025 Taos gains a refreshed design, an 8-speed automatic, and improved interior tech; the 2027 Jetta maintains its 1.5L turbo, 8-speed auto, and enhanced infotainment across trims.

LexinFintech revenue drops 80% as it warns of possible net loss
x/lexin
— 1d
LexinFintech’s Q2 2026 results show revenue of about 3.19 billion yuan and net income of 101 million yuan, down sharply as credit facilitation and tech-empowerment services declined, even as installment e-commerce income rose about 60.8% and loan originations grew 4.8% to 55.4 billion yuan while outstanding principal fell 11.4%. The company tightened costs, refined risk controls, shifted to an annual dividend evaluation policy with a 30% net-income payout, and warned of much lower Q3 originations with potential net losses amid sector headwinds, underscoring a diversified ecosystem and focus on long-term fundamentals.

Toyota’s global July vehicle sales fell about 5% year over year to roughly 856,000–913,000 units, with production down around 2%, as demand weakness in China and disruptions in the Middle East weighed on results while Japan and Europe remained resilient and North America held steady or near flat. China’s sharp drop and higher petrol prices offset gains in Japan and Europe, with a rising share of electrified vehicles helping offset some weakness in traditional models.

Prescription Drug Prices Drop to 60-Year Low

U.S. prescription drug prices have fallen at the steepest rate in more than six decades, driven by policy moves like the Most Favored Nation framework and the TrumpRx platform, though real-world savings for consumers depend on insurance design, rebates, and pharmacy costs. Experts caution that CPI measurements differ from actual out-of-pocket costs, attribution of the drop remains contested, and long-term effects are uncertain as gaps with international pricing persist and middlemen like PBMs influence final prices.
