The industrials sector has posted a relatively lackluster performance compared to benchmark U.S. indices this year so far. While the S&P 500 Industrials (Sector) gained just over 19% year-to-date, the S&P 500 rose over 27% during the period. Interestingly, the top three stocks from the industrials space that witnessed the maximum gain in users in a year have posted negative returns year-to-date (YTD). Here’s a look at the three tickers that managed to gain retail user attention: 1. Richtech Robotics Inc (RR) : Shares of the firm that provides collaborative robotic solutions specializing in the service industry, including the hospitality and healthcare sectors, drew the most retail watchers on Stocktwits in the industrials space in the last year, rising over 2,781% over a year. The firm was in the news recently after it expanded its agreement with Ghost Kitchens to manage 20 additional Walmart-located restaurants. The stock witnessed the best of its times in the last one month, having risen over 357% during the period. Despite the optimism, the shares are down over 53% YTD. One Stocktwits user believes the shares are attractive given the low valuation. 2. Vast Renewables (VSTE) : The renewable energy company headquartered in Australia that has developed CSP systems to generate, store and dispatch carbon free, utility-scale electricity and industrial heat, became the second ranked ticker, with watchlist count rising a whopping 2,154% over a year’s time. The year saw the firm secure up to $30m of funding from ARENA, expand its presence in the U.S. market, and progress toward final investment decision on its utility-scale CSP reference project in Port Augusta, South Australia. However, the stock has lost over 69% YTD. One Stocktwits user believes the current levels are attractive. 3. Volato Group Inc (SOAR) : The ticker saw watchlist count increase by over 627% in a year’s time but this stood in stark contrast with the stock’s performance. Volato shares have lost over 93% of their market cap since the beginning of the year. But the company is confident about its potential and said it remains on track to deliver positive net income in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2024, driven by strategic initiatives that have already improved financial performance. It recently managed to resolve an issue related to non-compliance with the NYSE American rules after receiving a warning letter under Section 1009(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide describing the firm’s failure to comply with sections 301 and 713. Retail sentiment on the stock trended in the ‘bullish’ territory (63/100) versus ‘bearish’ a year ago. For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.<

None(Bloomberg) — Donald Trump said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau committed to working to address the border and fentanyl smuggling, key issues that have led the incoming US president to threaten massive tariffs. Trump, in a Truth Social post on Saturday, called their dinner Friday night at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida a “very productive meeting” and made no mention of his earlier 25% tariff threat. “I made it very clear that the United States will no longer sit idly by as our citizens become victims to the scourge of this Drug Epidemic, caused mainly by the Drug Cartels, and Fentanyl pouring in from China,” he said. “Prime Minister Trudeau has made a commitment to work with us to end this terrible devastation of US Families.” The dinner included incoming Commerce Secretary and trade czar Howard Lutnick, incoming Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and incoming National Security Advisor Michael Waltz. Trudeau’s delegation included Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Chief of Staff Katie Telford. Trump has threatened tariffs on both Canada and Mexico while demanding action on the border. Trudeau, speaking briefly to press as he left his West Palm Beach hotel Saturday, called it “an excellent conversation.” The dinner lasted roughly three hours, with discussion of trade, border security, fentanyl, Ukraine, NATO, Arctic icebreakers, China, pipeline projects and the Middle East, officials with knowledge of the meeting said. They described the meeting as positive. Trump gave no specific indication at the dinner of whether he’d proceed with his tariff plans, one official said. At one point, Trump began choosing a playlist, offering two versions of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah — a nod to the Canadian delegation — and playing other songs that were common at his rallies. Trump and Trudeau ate steak and mashed potatoes, while other menu options included meatloaf from a recipe by Mary Trump, the president-elect’s late mother. (Updates with description of dinner starting in seventh paragraph.)

Brock Purdy participated in the start of Thursday's practice with the 49ers but the San Francisco starting quarterback was not on the field for the majority of the workout, casting doubt over his availability to play Sunday at Green Bay. Purdy is dealing with a right shoulder injury and the 49ers are also potentially without left tackle Trent Williams and Nick Bosa due to injuries. Bosa was listed as out of Thursday's practice with an oblique injury. Williams also didn't suit up Thursday. He played through an ankle injury last week after being listed as questionable. Purdy's typical Thursday post-practice media session was scrapped until Friday as the 49ers did not make any quarterback available. Kyle Allen would step in for Purdy as the starter if he can't play against the Packers. Run game coordinator Chris Foerster said the 49ers aren't where they want to be at 5-5 because they haven't won close games, not because of injuries. "Seven games left is like an eternity," Foerster said. "So much can happen. Do the math. What was our record last year? It was 12-5. I was on a 13-win team that was nowhere near as good as the team last year." With or without Purdy, Foerster said the challenge for the 49ers is not to give up the ball to a defense that has 19 takeaways. The 49ers have 13 giveaways this season. --Field Level Media

PickMe, Sri Lanka’s leading digital mobility solutions company, recently entered into a strategic partnership with the University of Moratuwa (UoM) to strengthen human resource development and operational excellence in driving innovation in the logistics sector. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by PickMe CEO Jiffry Zulfer and UoM Vice Chancellor Prof. N.D. Gunawardena. As part of the collaboration, PickMe will offer Management Trainee placements to 10-15 graduates each year from UoM’s BSc (Hons.) in Transport and Logistics Management and BSc (Hons.) in Transport Management and Logistics Engineering programs. Additionally, 10 undergraduates from these programs will gain hands-on experience through internship opportunities at PickMe every year. The partnership also includes structured mentoring, skill-building initiatives, and career guidance to enhance students’ industry readiness. To support infrastructure and provide a conducive learning environment, PickMe will contribute to the maintenance and development of physical spaces within UoM’s Transport Management and Logistics Engineering Department (TMLE). UoM TMLE Professor Emeritus Amal S. Kumarage PhD says: “In the context of pressing needs in the $ 6 billion mobility industry in Sri Lanka, this collaboration between academia, research, and industry is timely to provide digital solutions to legacy problems. Undergraduates in transport at the UoM can now confidently embark on tech-based careers in transport and logistics, assured of industry opportunities, while the industry itself can scale up to fill multiple service gaps, given the continuous supply of specialist engineers.” In a shared commitment to advance logistics innovation, PickMe and UoM will form joint research teams to conduct at least two research projects annually. The projects will be aimed at solving industry-specific challenges and creating sustainable solutions via technology. This collaboration is expected to drive significant positive impact within Sri Lanka’s logistics industry, fostering innovation, job creation, sustainability, and economic growth. The partnership represents a mutually beneficial platform that provides invaluable opportunities for students, enhances industry relevance for PickMe, and propels the nation’s logistics capabilities. “The key benefit is that these budding engineers of UoM will gain first-hand exposure to real-world engagement, preparing them for newer dynamics in their field,” says Zulfer. “At the same time, our team at PickMe will also benefit from the partnership by having access to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities.” UoM Senior Professor and TMLE Head Prof. Asoka Perera said: “Partnering with the industry gives new opportunities to the University, fulfilling a great need. I am very happy to collaborate with the leading technology driven mobility solutions provider, PickMe, which benefits the department, staff, and students in academic work and research work. We look forward to new research, product development, effective training for students, and aligning the curriculum of the TMLE for the needs of the industry.” PickMe’s approach to adaptation and implementation is rooted in leveraging digital technology to respond flexibly to changes in the market and the needs of its users. Unlike traditional industrial-age companies, which are more rigid due to reliance on fixed processes, PickMe uses digital tools to create an agile environment. In the context of PickMe, adaptation involves continuously responding to shifts in customer expectations, technology advancements, and changes in external conditions. Implementation, on the other hand, is about actively executing these adaptations—integrating them into their technology, operations, and workforce strategies to ensure the business remains responsive and relevant.OneDigital Investment Advisors LLC bought a new position in shares of Snap Inc.

China's Newly Launched Amphibious Assault Ship Leaves DockyardMumbai, Dec 26 (PTI) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar, and several other leaders in the state on Thursday condoled the death of former prime minister Manmohan Singh, saying the country has lost a great scholar, statesman and economist. Singh, 92, died in Delhi on Thursday night. "With the demise of former PM Manmohan Singh, we have lost a great scholar, economist and statesman. His contributions to Indian economic reforms, serving the nation as PM for ten years, will be remembered forever," CM Fadnavis said on X. Sharad Pawar termed Singh a great economist, visionary reformer and a global statesman. "Deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Dr Manmohan Singh, former Prime Minister of India. Our nation has lost one of its greatest economists, a visionary reformist, and a global statesman," said Pawar, who was agriculture minister in Singh's cabinet. "His departure is an unbearable loss. He was a godly soul who embodied humility, forbearance, tolerance, and compassion. As the architect of India's economic reforms, his legacy will forever inspire generations to come. May his soul rest in eternal peace," Pawar added. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said Singh's vision became a turning point in the country's economic development. "Deeply saddened by the news of former PM Dr Manmohan Singh ji's demise. A gentleman to the core, his vision became a turning point in our country's economic development. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends in this difficult time," Ajit Pawar posted on X. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray said he was deeply saddened. "My brief meeting with him, at his residence, made an everlasting impression on me, of how PMs can be truly humble, graceful and dignified, despite the very many achievements marked out against their name and tenure," Thackeray said. "For someone like me, born in the 90s, the opening up of India to the world and vice versa, was like growing up in a decade where each day was new, and the world was brought closer to home, thanks to him," said Aaditya. "Probably one of those people in India, who have had a huge impact on our lives, and the country at large. He truly put our nation on a world stage. As he said about himself while taking on all the unfounded criticism, "history would be kinder", we as Indians truly believe, that the present too will be kinder to his statesman like legacy, as we all bid him a sorrowful goodbye," the Sena (UBT) leader added. Such true gentlemen are rare in politics, even rarer when they reach the pinnacle of national politics, Thackeray wrote. NCP leader Praful Patel described Singh as a man of few words but remarkable action. "His visionary economic policies reshaped the destiny of millions and set India on a path of growth and stability. I had the honor and privilege of working as a minister during his tenure and witnessed his intellect, humility, and dedication to the nation. As Finance Minister and later as Prime Minister, he transformed India's economic landscape and left an enduring legacy of progress and reform," he said. India has lost a true statesman, a scholar par excellence, and a compassionate leader, Patel added. Senior Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat said Singh's contribution in the creation of a strong India which is competing with the world is immense. "Criticism against Manmohan Singh was politically motivated, but history will take note of him positively. He took courageous decisions like Aadhaar identity card for every citizen, direct benefit transfer, right to food, right to information legislations," he said. Former Congress leader Ashok Chavan said Singh provided several financial initiatives to the state when he was chief minister. "I will never forget the assistance given to infrastructure upliftment of Nanded for the Guru Da Gaddi celebrations," Chavan added.

Scrolling for something new to watch on this week, November 30-December 6? Let me give you a hand with my picks for the best movies, TV shows and more arriving on the streaming service. The start of a new month means that there a gluttony of new movies hitting Hulu, including some classics that we've highlight below. But there are also a couple of shows that have proven to generate some buzz on the internet that Hulu subscribers can now check out. Check out all of the picks for this week directly below. Gladiator (2000) With currently playing in movie theaters, there’s no better time to watch the original movie. Hulu subscribers will be able to do so right away this December as the Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe movie lands on the streamer. In case you don’t know, the movie follows a Roman general who is betrayed, with his family murdered and him left for dead. However, when he becomes a gladiator in Rome he seeks his revenge. Answering the all-important question: yes, you will be entertained. Miracle on 34th Street (1994) is an all-time great Christmas story, with both the original 1947 version and the 1994 remake beloved by many. As a millennial, the 1994 version definitely holds a special place in my heart (it’s a family favorite to watch this time of year). Mara Wilson, Dylan McDermott, Elizabeth Perkins and Richard Attenborough star in this story of whether a department store Santa is actually the genuine St. Nick. Moulin Rouge! (2001) and are new movie musicals that are getting a lot of attention, but one of my favorites for the genre (and honestly just one of my favorite movies of all time) is streaming on Hulu in December, . Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor belt out their love for each other in Baz Luhrmann’s wacky and brilliant movie. The best way to watch is to simply embrace the madness of what’s happening on screen. I don’t think you’ll regret it. Muppet Treasure Island (1996) This one brings out the kid-at-heart in me, as I adored growing up. With it streaming on Hulu, a new generation of kids can do the same (or their parents can rediscover their own love for the movie). Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzy, Gonzo and the rest of the muppets join Tim Curry in this fantastic adaptation of Stevenson’s . If you make a must-watch this time of year, I highly recommend turning it into a double feature with .

New 2025 laws hit hot topics from AI in movies to rapid-fire gunsForeign Minister Penny Wong has passed on Australia’s condolences to South Korea after the country experienced its deadliest plane crash. At least 179 people were killed on Sunday when Jeju Air flight 7C2216 skidded off the runway at Muan International Airport and erupted in flames. Just two crew members — a man and a woman — survived. “The news of a plane crash at Muan Airport in the Republic of Korea today is devastating,” Senator Wong posted on social media. “Australia’s thoughts and deepest condolences are with the victims and their loved ones.” Eyewitness footage of the crash flooded social media moments after it happened. The videos showed sparks shooting from the aircraft as it slid at speed along the runway on its belly. No landing gear was visible. The plane flung debris skyward as it continued off the runway before slamming into a barrier and exploding. The flight was arriving from the Thai capital Bangkok with 175 passengers on-board. Authorities said the two surviving crew members were rescued from the tail section of the plane and getting treated for burns varying in severity. Airport authorities said a bird strike may have caused a landing gear malfunction, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported.KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs earned a much-deserved extended rest after their Christmas Day rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers, which capped an unbeaten stretch of three games in 11 days and clinched them the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs . That extended rest? Well, it can be just about as long as Chiefs coach Andy Reid wants it to be. The Chiefs (15-1) face the Broncos in their regular-season finale next weekend, a game whose kickoff remains up in the air. But it will be at least 10 days after their 29-10 win in Pittsburgh, a nice rest for a weary team whose bye was back in Week 6. But with nothing to play for in that game, Reid could conceivably give some of his most important players the entire week off ahead of the playoffs. And now that the Chiefs have a first-round bye , that means they wouldn’t face anybody until at least Jan. 18 in the divisional round, meaning a full 24 days between games. “It’s been almost 10 weeks of football, grinding on this short schedule at the very end of the year,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “We’ll see how Week 18 goes — who plays, who doesn’t play. That’s up to Coach. But having this break, getting healthy, getting ourselves ready for the playoffs, it was super important, especially with the guys we have banged up.” RELATED COVERAGE It might’ve been Christmas, but it sure feels like Groundhog Day for the reeling Steelers Lions try to close in on NFC’s top seed when they visit the eliminated 49ers Penix and the Falcons at Daniels and the Commanders in prime-time meeting of 1st-round rookie QBs The Chiefs dominated the Steelers without four-time All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones, who was resting his sore calf on Wednesday. They also have not had cornerback Chamarri Conner, who has been out with a concussion, or D.J. Humphries, the former Pro Bowl left tackle who appeared in one game for Kansas City before straining his hamstring. All of them figure to be healthy for the playoffs. The same for guys who have been dealing with minor injuries, such as right tackle Jawaan Taylor, who played against the Steelers despite straining his hamstring the previous week against Houston, and running back Isiah Pacheco, who dinged up his ribs in the win in Pittsburgh. “It will definitely help with some of the guys that are banged up, to get guys back, freshened up a little bit,” said Reid, who has rested important players in Week 18 in the past, including last season against the Chargers. “I think it will be a positive for us.” The trick is to decide exactly how much rest to give everyone. For those dealing with injuries, that full 24-day span without a game could be exactly what they need. For others, it might be too long between games, and getting at least a half of play against the Broncos would help prevent some rust from setting in. “I was just talking to my family about it,” Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie said. “My rookie year, we were able to get, you know, all home games, and you just can’t be out (on the road) in the playoffs. I mean, I’m excited to go out there. I know we got the first round, you know, off, but I mean, I can’t wait to play now.” What’s working The Chiefs won the Super Bowl last season with a wide receiver group that — outside of Rashee Rice — was lacking in dynamic ability. But with the trade for DeAndre Hopkins, the return of Hollywood Brown from an injury and the emergence of rookie Xavier Worthy, the Chiefs have gone from a position of peril to one of profound strength. What needs help The Chiefs have struggled to the run the ball consistently the past few weeks. Pacheco gained just 18 yards on six carries before hurting his ribs against Pittsburgh, and Kareem Hunt was held to 20 yards on nine carries — a 2.2-yard average. Stock up Worthy has smashed through the rookie wall, just as Rice did at this point last season, and has proven to be more than a speedster. He had eight catches for 79 yards and a touchdown Wednesday, giving him at least five catches in each of his past five games. Stock down Pacheco has not been the same after missing more than two months to injury. He has been held to 55 yards rushing or fewer in each of his past five games, and he’s averaging just 2.7 yards per carry over his past three. Injuries There were no significant injuries sustained against the Steelers. Key number 77 — Travis Kelce caught his 77th touchdown pass, breaking a tie with Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez for the Chiefs record. Kelce finished with eight catches for 84 yards and a score against Pittsburgh, making him the third tight end in NFL history with at least 1,000 receptions. Gonzalez had 1,325 and Jason Witten had 1,228 while Kelce has 1,004 and counting. Next steps The Chiefs get the long weekend off before deciding who will play in Denver in their regular-season finale. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
