    Assessing Valuation After Recent Share Price Volatility

    Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:TME) shares have seen some movement recently, driven partly by shifts in investor risk appetite and changing market sentiment around Chinese technology stocks. Over the past month, TME has experienced a moderate decline, which highlights an evolving outlook for the sector.

    See our latest analysis for Tencent Music Entertainment Group.

    Despite some turbulence in the past month, Tencent Music Entertainment Group’s momentum over the longer term is hard to argue with. After a 21.5% slide in the 1-month share price, its year-to-date share price is still up an impressive 58.9% and the 3-year total shareholder return stands at a hefty 148.3%. Recent pricing shifts have more to do with evolving investor sentiment in the Chinese tech sector than with any fundamental weakness, and TME still commands positive attention from growth-focused investors.

    If volatility in tech stocks has you thinking about your next move, this could be the perfect time to uncover opportunities with our See the full list for free.

    Given recent volatility and solid long-term returns, the key question is whether Tencent Music Entertainment Group’s current valuation offers true upside or if the market has already factored in all future growth potential.

    Tencent Music Entertainment Group’s narrative-implied fair value stands well above its last close, outlining a case for significant upside based on forward-looking financial drivers and an evolving business model.

    Proprietary content development, exclusive partnerships with Korean labels and Chinese artists, and investments in original artist incubation strengthen content differentiation, support premium pricing, and reduce long-term content costs. These factors contribute to higher gross margins and a defensible market share. Technology investments, including AI-powered personalization and innovative ad formats such as incentivized ads and ad-based membership models, are driving higher advertising revenue, improved operational efficiency, and lower customer acquisition costs. This is boosting both top-line growth and net profit margins.

    Lundin Mining Announces an Update Regarding the 2017 Class Action

    Lundin Mining Announces an Update Regarding the 2017 Class Action

    November 28, 2025

    VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 28, 2025 /CNW/ – (TSX: LUN) (Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining” or the “Company”) announces that it has received a ruling from its appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. The ruling upholds the 2023 Ontario Court of Appeal decision allowing a proposed securities class action to be commenced relating to the timing of disclosure of a 2017 pit wall instability and rockslide at the Candelaria Mine in Chile. The certified class action can now proceed before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

    Background

    Lundin Mining disclosed the pit wall instability and rockslide in its normal course operational update to investors on November 29, 2017. The claim alleges that these events should have been disclosed earlier.

  • Minecraft Mash-up Nice to Wheat You

    Minecraft Mash-up Nice to Wheat You

    Ray started to remember why they left in the first place. And then abandoned it completely when they found an area that had more material to mine than just snow. They might as well finish what they started! Before they left, Ray raided all the chests they could find. Signs, signs, string, sighs, wool, signs, aaaaand… signs! 

    Back outside, the snow was still falling. Ray looked around, everything was flat and white. So they closed their eyes, spun around, and just started walking in that direction. And what a fine direction it was, because after a while Ray came face to face with another creature. It looked familiar, yet different. Horns facing the front, eyes you could get lost in, and covered in soft, warm wool. This cow seemed to have evolved perfectly for the cold climate.  

    What an icon. Ray needed to adopt it! They checked their inventory, but alas – not a single piece of wheat to be found. All they had was the dried ghast block and signs. They would have to do.  

    Ray cautiously approached the majestic beast and placed a sign nearby.  

     

    “Free wheat →”  

     

    The cow looked at the sign. The cow looked at Ray. The cow walked away.  

    Ray picked up the sign and placed it in front of the cow, but it kept walking. Maybe it had been burned by false promises before. Understandable. But Ray knew that even if they didn’t have any wheat now, they would absolutely get it! They just couldn’t risk losing the beautiful bovine like they had their base. So a little bit of deception would be necessary, and Ray would make up for it tenfold when they were both settled.  

    Moving as fast as they could through the cold snow, Ray started placing signs on both sides of the cow. They made sure each one bore the promise of wheat, just in case.  

    The cow, whom Ray had named Yarn, finally started to moo-ve through the crafted path. The plan was working! Hooray! Ray was so excited that they stopped paying attention to where they were going.

  • Exclusive: The Economist stake draws interest as deadline approaches, sources say

    Exclusive: The Economist stake draws interest as deadline approaches, sources say

    • Exor holds largest stake in The Economist at 43.4%
    • Few opportunities to buy into British media empires
    • Rothschild stake sale could value Economist at £800 million, source says
    NEW YORK/LONDON, Nov 28 (Reuters) – The sale of a large stake in the storied Economist publication is coming to a head this week, as bidders submit expressions of interest by Friday’s deadline for a 27% stake, three people familiar with the matter said.

    At least a dozen parties, including ultra wealthy individuals and media companies, have already shown preliminary interest, one of the people said.

    Sign up here.

    It’s been a decade since anyone has been able to buy a share close to this size, not since Britain’s Pearson (PSON.L), opens new tab sold its 50% stake in 2015 to the holding group of the wealthy Italian Agnelli family, for 469 million pounds ($531 million), ending its near-60-year ownership in the magazine.

    Philanthropist Lynn Forester de Rothschild is putting the banking dynasty’s share of The Economist up for sale three years after the death of her husband Evelyn de Rothschild, who chaired the company from 1972 to 1989, according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is private.

    Requests for comment from the Rothschild family and The Economist weren’t immediately returned.

    Founded in 1843, the publication’s shareholding total nearly 1,000, with Exor, a holding vehicle for Italy’s Agnelli family, owning a 43.4% stake and the Rothschilds owning 27%, according to the Economist’s annual results.

    The sale is made more complex as The Economist’s governance is structured to ensure the editorial process at the 182-year-old publication remains independent, prohibiting any one individual or company from owning a controlling stake in the corporate parent.

    The sale of the Economist comes at a time when there are few opportunities to buy into highly coveted British media empires. The owner of the Daily Mail, DMGT, recently stepped in to scoop up the Telegraph Media Group after UK regulators banned foreign ownership of UK newspapers.
    The move forced U.S.-based Redbird Capital to withdraw its 500 million pound ($658.5 million) joint bid with Abu Dhabi-backed IMI for the Telegraph.

    The Economist is profitable and has been growing its subscriber base. First-half revenue for the six months ended Sept. 30th 2025, was 170 million pounds and operating profit was 20 million, up 23% on the year prior, according to its most recent published figures.

    The sale of the Rothschild stake, which includes about 20% in voting shares, could value the media company at around 800 million pounds ($1.06 billion), a person familiar with the matter said.

    Two top U.S. media executives said a stake in The Economist would give ultra-wealthy people access to even more elite circles.

    “Even if you’re at Davos, it’s crowded. But The Economist gets you respect,” one media CEO said. “It will open a lot of interesting doors.”

  • Ford workers told their CEO ‘none of the young people want to work here.’ So Jim Farley took a page out of the founder’s playbook

    Ford workers told their CEO ‘none of the young people want to work here.’ So Jim Farley took a page out of the founder’s playbook

    • Ford CEO Jim Farley learned from older employees that some young workers at the carmaker were taking shifts at Amazon to make ends meet, he said at the Aspen Ideas Festival. Farley said he drew on founder Henry Ford’s decision to raise factory wages to $5 a day in 1914 to make temporary workers into full-time employees. Young people have previously eschewed manufacturing jobs due to low wages.

    Some economists credit carmaker Henry Ford for jump-starting the American middle class in the 20th century when, in January 1914, he hiked factory wages to $5, more than double the average wage for an eight-hour work day.

    More than 100 years later, facing the reality of many employees “barely getting by,” Ford CEO Jim Farley said he took a page out of the founder’s playbook.

    The carmaker’s chief executive recognized the need to make a change in his workplace when he spoke to veteran employees during union contract negotiations and learned young Ford employees were working multiple jobs and getting inadequate sleep due to low wages, Farley said in an interview with journalist and biographer Walter Isaacson at the Aspen Ideas Festival earlier this year.

    “The older workers who’d been at the company said, ‘None of the young people want to work here. Jim, you pay $17 an hour, and they are so stressed,’” Farley said.

    Farley learned some workers also held jobs at Amazon, where they worked for eight hours before clocking in to a seven-hour shift at Ford, sleeping for only three or four hours. At a Ford Pro Accelerate event in September, the CEO said entry-level factory workers told him they were working up to three jobs.

    As a result, the company made temporary workers into full-time employees, making them eligible for higher wages, profit-sharing checks, and better health care coverage. The transition was outlined in 2019 contract negotiations with the United Auto Workers (UAW), with temporary workers able to become full-time after two years of continuous employment at Ford.

    “It wasn’t easy to do,” Farley said. “It was expensive. But I think that’s the kind of changes we need to make in our country.”

    Ford’s own decision to double factory wages in 1914 was not altruistic, but rather a strategy to attract a stable workforce, as well as provide a stimulus for his own workers to be able to afford Ford products.

    “He said, ‘I’m doing this because I want my factory worker to buy my cars. If they make enough money, they’ll buy my own product,’” Farley said. “It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, in a way.”

    Farley, a proponent of growing U.S. manufacturing productivity to support the essential economy, has advocated for young workers to have strong trade experiences. Earlier this month, he sounded the alarm on the shortage of manual labor jobs, saying in an episode of the Office Hours: Business Edition podcast that Ford had 5,000 open mechanic positions that have remain unfilled, despite an up-to $120,000 salary for the role.

    “Our governments have to get really serious about investing in trade schools and skilled trades,” he said at the Aspen Ideas Festival. “You go to Germany, every one of our factory workers has an apprentice starting in junior high school. Every one of those jobs has a person behind it for eight years that is trained.”

    Despite the U.S. seeing 3.8 million new manufacturing jobs by 2033, according to Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute, the younger generation of workers has largely turned away from the career path. As as some ditch college degrees, Gen Z enrollment in trade schools is on the rise, but the newest generation entering the workforce is largely eschewing factory jobs, citing low wages, according to a 2023 Soter Analytics study. U.S. manufacturing jobs in the U.S. have an average $25-per-hour wage—about $51,890 per year—falling short of the average American salary of $66,600.

    American carmakers like Ford may be trying to make it appealing for young workers to embark on manufacturing careers, but they are still not immune to workers’ grievances over wages. In 2023, thousands of UAW members, including 16,600 Ford employees, went on strike before reaching a contract deal in October of that year, which, beyond increasing wages, also further decreased the period of time necessary for a temp worker to become full-time.

    Farley called the strike “completely unnecessary” from management’s perspective and maintained the onus of improving trade workers’ wages isn’t just on Ford.

    “We’re not just going to hope it gets better,” he said. “We have the resources, and we have the know-how, after 120 years, to solve these problems, but we need more help from others.”

  • Data copied in Kensington and Chelsea council cyber attack

    Data copied in Kensington and Chelsea council cyber attack

    The Met Police said it had received a referral from Action Fraud following the attack

    The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) confirmed that “some data was copied and taken away” during a recent cyber attack.

    RBKC said the breach was discovered after detecting unusual activity early on Monday and that it took “all necessary steps” to shut down and isolate systems to make them as secure as possible.

    The authority said it believed the breach “only impacts historical data”, adding: “We still have access to this information, it has not been stolen, but it is possible it could end up in the public domain.”

    The Met Police said it had received a referral from Action Fraud following the attack. The force said inquiries were in the “early stages” and no arrests had been made.

    RBKC said it was checking whether the compromised data included personal or financial details of residents, customers and service users, but warned the process would take time.

    The council told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that it took cyber security seriously and spent more than £12m annually on IT and security systems.

    With advice from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), RBKC is urging residents, customers and service users to be extra vigilant when receiving calls, emails or text messages.

    ‘Safeguard our network’

    Emergency plans were activated by the council following the attack, and RBKC asked staff to work from home where possible, with some phone lines and online services disrupted.

    RBKC has informed the Information Commissioner’s Office.

    It is understood that the same incident has also affected Westminster City Council and Hammersmith and Fulham Council due to “joint arrangements”.

    Hammersmith and Fulham Council said it “was able to successfully isolate and safeguard our network” and that there was currently “no evidence of H&F systems being compromised”.

    However, the council was still investigating its systems and, as a precautionary measure, had temporarily suspended some public-facing applications, it added.

    Westminster City Council is due to release a statement shortly.
