☆ Wells Fargo double downgrades Hanesbrands, says it can fall 30% on macro and balance sheet pressures
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-31 | by ( Sarah Min | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Sock and underwear maker Hanesbrands could fall more than 30% as it faces several major business challenges, Wells Fargo said in a double downgrade of the stock. Hanesbrands shares, which are already down by more than 50% this year, could now face still more pressure as it deals with higher cotton and logistics costs, as well as lower demand in the spring season. Hanesbrands is also at risk of breaching its leverage ratio debt covenants, Wells Fargo said. As a result, Hanesbrands may have to refinance its debt next year as it deals with rising interest rates, according to the note. That puts the company's dividend, currently yielding an above average 8.2%, in jeopardy, Wells Fargo said.

☆ U.S. funds projects to explore nuclear waste reprocessing
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-21 | by ( Timothy Gardner | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, or ARPA-E, aims to develop a dozen projects to recycle the waste, also known as spent nuclear fuel, with $38 million in funding. France and other countries have reprocessed nuclear waste by breaking it down into uranium and plutonium and reusing it to make new reactor fuel. President Joe Biden's administration supports development of advanced nuclear plants to help reach his goal of decarbonizing the U.S. economy by 2050. Recycling nuclear waste "can significantly reduce the amount of spent fuel at nuclear sites, and increase economic stability for the communities leading this important work," Granholm said. As a result, the waste is now stored at nuclear power plants across the country in spent fuel pools and in casks made of steel and concrete.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks as he attends a rally in Warren, Michigan, U.S., October 1, 2022. Former President Donald Trump lashed out Thursday after a federal judge wrote that Trump knowingly pushed false claims of voter fraud while he was fighting his 2020 election loss. In late December, Eastman relayed concerns to Trump's attorneys about citing supposed evidence of voter fraud in Georgia's Fulton County. "The emails show that President Trump knew that the specific numbers of voter fraud were wrong but continued to tout those numbers, both in court and to the public," the judge determined. In that decision, the judge wrote that it was "more likely than not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress" on Jan. 6.

Eight of Eastman's emails were subject to that "crime-fraud exception," according to the order in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana, California. Another four emails "demonstrate an effort by President Trump and his attorneys to press false claims in federal court for the purpose of delaying the January 6 vote," Carter wrote. In Wednesday's ruling, Carter ordered disclosure of portions of a handful of emails related to Eastman's plan for Pence to challenge the 2020 electoral count. Carter ruled in March that Eastman disclose 101 emails to the select committee that were the subject of disputes over legal privileges. In that decision, judge wrote that it was "more likely than not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress" on Jan. 6.

The Goldman representative disputed that characterization, saying the number of executive TV appearances has more than doubled over the past year. A Goldman representative said that Payback is run by music-industry consultants and that no Goldman Sachs resources are used for the platform.
