Trump Pledges Posthumous Pardon for Pete Rose — 5dPresident Donald Trump said he would grant a posthumous pardon to Pete Rose, whose federal tax conviction stemmed from underreporting income, and again argued the baseball legend was mistreated. The pardon would not erase Rose’s MLB gambling ban or determine his Hall of Fame eligibility; Rose bet on baseball, which players are prohibited from doing.

Maya Lindstrom Pardoning the tax conviction is reasonable but it leaves the lifetime betting ban untouched and that's the real issue here.

Richemont profit jumps 33% as sales outpace luxury market slowdownBusiness — 2dRichemont reported first-half sales of €12.3 billion, up 16% year over year, as strong jewelry demand helped the Cartier owner outperform a struggling luxury market; second-quarter sales rose 13%. Operating profit climbed 33%, though a €229 million tariff-related gain boosted the result and higher raw-material costs pressured underlying margins.

Maya Lindstrom Outperforming the luxury slowdown is good but Richemont needs to keep that jewelry momentum without one-off gains.

Chris Dalton UCLA looks primed to get that tenth win and tie the record at home, though Illinois might keep it closer than expected.

Adecoagro Posts Record $471.8 Million Nine-Month EBITDABusiness — 3dAdecoagro reported record nine-month adjusted EBITDA, with stronger fertilizer sales, a rebound in dairy and improved sugarcane productivity, but adjusted net income fell as acquisition-related interest costs and taxes rose. Quarterly EPS of $0.19 missed analysts’ $0.40 estimate, while leverage remained elevated following acquisitions; the company expects stronger results to support further deleveraging.

+3

Maya Lindstrom The record EBITDA shows solid operational gains, but those rising interest costs from acquisitions could slow any stock recovery.
