S&P 500 companies have seen double-digit earnings growth this year, exceeding expectations, and those increases will likely continue, even into 2026, he said. American companies are buying back their own stock at a record pace, even as stock prices are at all-time highs. He hit his 56th home run in their 142nd game, so Raleigh is well behind that pace right now. It’s just that he doesn’t have as much time left to do it this year as Judge did when he was chasing Maris in 2022. There is a chance Raleigh’s Mariners and Judge’s Yankees will meet in the Wild Card Series.

Stocks are at record highs, and so are company share buybacks. What do companies know?

Seattle is a half-game up in the AL West on the Houston Astros, who are in the second wild card spot. If the season ended today, the Astros would go to Yankee Stadium for the Wild Card Series. If the Astros pass the Mariners, it would be the Mariners going to New York. The Seattle Mariners catcher slugged his 55th and 56th home runs of the season Tuesday night (SEA 12, KC 5), breaking Mickey Mantle’s single-season record for home runs by a switch-hitter. Raleigh also tied Ken Griffey Jr.’s franchise record for home runs in a season.

Dantas, who is on the playoff roster and will be eligible to return once she recovers, did not travel with the team to Las Vegas. More expected rate cuts and tolerance for inflation above the Fed’s 2% target also support companies, said Michael Wilson, chief investment officer at Morgan Stanley. “This is the classic case where the stock market is not the economy,” said Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist for LPL Financial.

Before Thursday, no woman ran the 400m within a half-second of Koch’s world record time since she registered it. Koch was among many East German athletes whose record-breaking performances in the 1970s and ‘80s generated suspicion. Koch never tested positive and denied ever using PEDs, according to a group of Olympic historians known as the OlyMADMen. McLaughlin-Levrone clocked 47.78 seconds in Tokyo, the second-fastest time in history behind German Marita Koch’s world record of 47.60 from 1985. She was her usual self after the ball tipped, jumping under the basket for rebounds and fighting for loose balls. She crashed to the ground a few times and grimaced when it happened, but every time she got back up and ran down the court.

Are all buybacks a good sign for that company?

• That kind of share repurchase activity can continue to fuel the stock market to new record highs, making any dips along the way a buy opportunity, some analysts said.
• Critics argue repurchases artificially inflate stock prices and benefit executives who receive equity-based compensation.
• Curtis Thompson earned bronze, becoming the third U.S. man to make a world podium in the event after Tom Petranoff (silver, 1983) and Breaux Greer (bronze, 2007).
• Meanwhile, Tesla (TSLA) was also rallied near a 2025 high as investors looked ahead to the company’s self-driving future and new products.
• Some economists even hint at possible stagflation, or weak economic growth coupled with higher inflation.

That event lacks the 2024 Olympic gold and silver medalists Gabby Thomas and Julien Alfred, who are both out injured. She drained five 3-pointers, which ties a Fever playoff record, while the rest of the team combined for a 2-of-9 mark from range. That kind of share repurchase activity can continue to fuel the stock market to new record highs, making any dips along the way a buy opportunity, some analysts said. Breaking Judge’s record will require one of Raleigh’s best hot streaks of the season and also actually getting pitches to hit.

How can stocks thrive in a slowing, uncertain economy?

As she wore down from the game overnight, though, the injury flared up. The starting Fever guard was a late addition to the injury report, designating her as questionable for Indiana’s game against Las Vegas just 2⅟₂ hours away. Some economists even hint at possible stagflation, or weak economic growth coupled with higher inflation. As she told Womack, during a childhood trip to a record store, she was enthralled with the selection of Beatles albums.

Raleigh inches closer to breaking Judge’s HR record

Critics argue repurchases artificially inflate stock prices and benefit executives who receive equity-based compensation. Companies often repurchase shares when they feel their shares are undervalued. Buybacks can reflect management’s confidence in the company and its outlook, experts said. Public records show little political profile, and relatives told reporters they were surprised by his claimed involvement. The letter calls for Disney to provide records, including any meeting minutes or written materials, related to the suspension or return of Kimmel’s show.

A weak print is likely to lift the odds of another quarter-point cut in October. Wall Street expects PCE in September to show price pressures are persisting but remain tame enough to keep the Fed on track. US stocks edged higher on Monday as Wall Street kept up a record-setting streak on the back of Big Tech megacaps. Curtis Thompson earned bronze, becoming the third U.S. man to make a world podium in the event after Tom Petranoff (silver, 1983) and Breaux Greer (bronze, 2007). Also Thursday, Collen Kebinatshipi took the men’s 400m in 43.53 seconds, becoming the first man from Botswana to win a world track and field title.

Big Tech stocks hold steady after Trump’s visa fees crackdown

She suffered a back injury pregame, Fever coach Stephanie White said, in the first of multiple times she crashed to the floor in what has become a physical series between the Fever and the Aces. Originally, she played through it, scoring six points in 35 minutes in the Sunday win. It’s not just a question of whether he will hit enough home runs to break Judge’s record. Judge walked 17 times in his final 13 games and 31 times in his final 26 games in 2022. They were important late-season games and teams didn’t want him to beat them.

“It’s very cool,” Raleigh told reporters, including MLB.com, after breaking Mantle’s record and tying Griffey’s. “Very humbled by it. Crazy kind of thing. I never thought it would happen. It’s crazy. Not a lot of words to describe it. Just very grateful for it.” Markets are waiting for Friday’s fresh reading on the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, to test those wagers.

McLaughlin-Levrone chose the flat 400m this season because she wanted a new challenge after going undefeated in the 400m hurdles since taking silver at the 2019 Worlds. She did so in her first time racing the flat 400m at a global championship. She also planned to race the flat 400m instead of the 400m hurdles at the 2023 Worlds, but withdrew before the meet due to injury. For now, the Fever have an off day Wednesday after they return from Las Vegas.

The number of whales getting tangled up in fishing nets, line, buoys and other miscellaneous rope off the coasts of the United States hit a record high in 2024, with California taking the ignominious lead.

If the company repurchases 10,000 shares, total outstanding shares drop to 90,000 and its earnings per share increases to $111.11 without any actual increase in earnings. Silver medalist Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic ran 47.98, the third-fastest time in history, one year after winning Olympic gold in the event. Lyles, trying to match Usain Bolt’s record four consecutive world 200m titles, is joined in the final by Olympic 200m gold medalist Letsile Tebogo of Botswana and silver medalist Kenny Bednarek. She went into these worlds seeded third by best time of 2025 (48.90) behind Olympic silver medalist Salwa Eid Naser (48.67) and Paulino (48.81). McLaughlin-Levrone, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and six-time world record breaker in the 400m hurdles, is now the first person to win world titles in both one-lap events. The Fever have also been missing Damiris Dantas for the past five games, as she suffered a concussion Sept. 11 and has not yet progressed through the protocol.

If teams don’t pitch to Raleigh, then teams don’t pitch to him, and it will be that much harder to hit the seven home runs he needs to become the AL’s single-season home run king. Meanwhile, investors will listen out for any other hints from a packed schedule of Fed speakers in the coming days, including Chair Jerome Powell and President Trump-backed Stephen Miran. The newly installed Fed governor how to record start-up expenses said Monday that he believes interest rates should be roughly 2 percentage points lower. Jackson, the second-fastest woman in history, bids to tie Allyson Felix’s record of three women’s 200m titles. Jefferson-Wooden can become the second woman to sweep the 100m and 200m at one worlds in the last 30 years after Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce in 2013.
