England captain Heather Knight considering future after Ashes nightmare England captain Heather Knight considering future after Ashes nightmare Demolished by a ruthless Australia, England’s Heather Knight says she will consider her future as captain. Knight admits there will be “soul-searching” within the England camp after losing all seven games on their tour of Australia to become the first team in women’s Ashes history to be whitewashed. Only three weeks ago, former England international Alex Hartley said she believed it would be the most evenly matched Ashes in 15 years. But Australia only extended their dominance over the series, as England capitulated in stunning fashion to lose the historic day-night Test at the MCG by a whopping innings and 122 runs. “Things are pretty raw and it’s all happened pretty quickly,” Knight said when asked about her future. “I think the coming weeks is a time for everyone to reflect on what we could have done better, how we’re going to improve as a side. “That’s (decision on the captaincy) not an emotional decision that’s going to be made now, it’s in the coming weeks. “We unfortunately haven’t played our best cricket here, and we’ve got a lot of soul searching and a lot of things to try and get better at when we do play against them next.” England coach Jon Lewis wants to continue in his position, vowing to review what went so drastically wrong after drawing the last Ashes series in 2023. “The *********** team probably won the big moments, and that’s something we need to try and do better,” Knight said. “When we’re on top, try and really press home that advantage. “I’m certainly frustrated with with how the team has gone. “We haven’t showed our best cricket. “We’re all obviously very frustrated with that and pretty gutted.” Former men’s captain Michael Vaughan was among the English pundits bitterly disappointed by the humiliating tour, while appreciative of the home team’s excellence. “Big questions to be answered about the England women’s team .. mainly from those who have been involved at the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) for many years,” Vaughan wrote on his X account. “But let’s not lose sight of how good the Aussie women team are … exceptional team of skilled/disciplined & ruthless cricketers.” Amid all the English gloom, their only consolation was their star spinner Sophie Ecclestone becoming the first visiting female bowler to get her name up on the MCG honours board. She did, however, concede 143 runs, the second-biggest tally for any bowler in a women’s Test taking a five-wicket haul.

It means they’re able to sell it at the enterprise level through their cloud computing [Amazon Web Services] AWS business.” “This ability to use AI to both drive profits [and] sales, and then also to lower expenses, I think that’s unique to Amazon and why they’re best positioned when it comes to exploiting AI.” Watch the video above to hear the analyst’s outlook for Amazon earnings, Amazon’s ongoing investment in AI company Anthropic, the impact of DeepSeek, and more.

Nvidia’s Jensen Huang sells $14 million in stock almost daily—raising questions about his successor Nvidia’s Jensen Huang sells $14 million in stock almost daily—raising questions about his successor Five years ago Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was worth a respectable $3.73 billion. At the time of writing, his net worth has ballooned to a little over $92 billion—and even then it’s down from its high of $119 billion earlier this summer. Investors are largely thrilled with their bet on the Santa Clara, Calif., business, and the man Mark Zuckerberg dubbed the “Taylor Swift of tech.” But Nvidia’s meteoric growth has led some experts to question whether the company’s corporate governance has matured as quickly. This, inevitably, raises questions about why Huang is selling instead of holding. And that, in turn, leads to the issue of why Huang has so many shares in the first place, and whether his compensation package incentivizes the performance shareholders want to see. Investors want more intel on the business at the top. They want to see more transparent corporate governance, open succession planning, and a change in pay structure to motivate the next era of management, according to executive compensation experts who spoke to Fortune. Huang is selling his shares under a very specific plan—a Rule 10b5-1 agreement—which allows executives and employees to buy or sell stock in their own company without violating insider trading laws by using a predetermined schedule. Rule 10b5-1 has a number of specific requirements, chief among them that a formula for the sales (not an individual) be used to determine the number, price, and date of the trade. A third party must also be employed to conduct the sales, who cannot be influenced by the client. This, according to Nell Minow, vice chair of corporate governance specialists ValueEdge Advisors, is not a good look. Minow, who also owns shares in Nvidia herself, explained to Fortune: “What I want from an executive [is] to be very bullish on the stock. I want the executive to be thinking all the time: ‘Boy, this is really going to be worth a lot more soon’ and not, ‘Oof, I better sell some because I’m … experiencing the vertigo of having all my eggs in one basket.’ “I want all of their eggs in one basket.” This year isn’t the first time Huang has employed a Rule 10b5-1—though it is a more tenacious selloff than previous trades. In September last year, for example, Huang off-loaded 237,500 shares valued at just over $117 million under a 10b5-1 trading agreement. This year, by comparison, Huang sold $323 million in Nvidia stock in July alone. Huang wasn’t the only Nvidia exec to confirm a Rule 10b5-1 trading agreement in the April filing. Debora Shoquist, executive vice president of operations; Colette M. Kress, executive vice president and CFO; and Ajay K. Puri, executive vice president of worldwide field operations, disclosed similar plans. “It signals that the stock has jumped tremendously and they’re getting a little nervous about it,” Minow believes. “It’s certainly concerning for investors; we ask ourselves: ‘Well, maybe I should be selling mine, too. What are they telling me? If they don’t have the confidence in the stock, then why should I?’” Fortune approached Nvidia for comment on how many shares in total Huang plans to off-load, and when his selloff will end. The company did not respond to the question. Nvidia told Fortune: “Mr. Huang’s sales are based on a 10b5-1 plan, in which the price, amount, and dates of the sales are established in advance.” James Reda is a managing director at Chicago-based consultancy Gallagher’s HR and compensation practice. He has worked on a number of high-profile compensation cases, from Howard Schultz at Starbucks in the early 2000s to advising on Satya Nadella’s Microsoft package. Why is Huang drip-feeding the ***** of his stock, day after day, as opposed to off-loading larger sums all at once, we asked him. “If you just dump that in the market the stock’s going to go down,” Reda told Fortune. “So you have to be very sensitive about it … If you have a large position that some of these founders and CEOs have, it could be a better strategy. “I’ve seen a lot of cases where things are executed improperly and the stock tanks. Not because people think something’s going on, and all that stuff, but the excess supply. The market’s confused about what they do with it.” The fact that Huang is selling on a near-daily basis as opposed to wider intervals is also not a surprise to Reda. The 10b5-1 plan is public, so markets will be aware of the stock influx and won’t be caught off guard. And while some analysts like Minow want founders to be singularly focused on their own stock, Reda disagrees: “Ultimately, if you don’t sell the stock you’re gonna have to be like Elon Musk and some others that are putting stock up for collateral and getting these humongous loans. “That just makes everybody more leveraged, why do that? Peel off a little stock on a regular basis and sell it.” A look through the SEC filings of every Big Tech company presents a range of often complex compensation provisions. Meta’s Zuckerberg is famously paid a single dollar for his salary but takes $24.4 million in security costs. Apple’s Tim Cook has performance-based restricted stock units in a compensation package worth $49 million. Alphabet’s Sundar Pichai is given a triennial stock grant, which led to a $226 million payday in 2022. The range of options also reveals a common practice in Silicon Valley: CEOs—particularly founders—are often continually awarded stock not only so they maintain a sense of power over a rapidly expanding empire, but also because it is a tried-and-tested method to motivate those at the top. Nvidia’s 2024 proxy filing for fiscal year 2024 discloses that Huang was paid a salary of $996,514, with stock awards worth $26 million and additional incentivized cash compensation of $4 million. His total compensation package was worth approximately $34.17 million. The filing also revealed Huang’s holdings in Nvidia prior to the stock sales beginning this spring, with the figure sitting at more than 93 million shares—3.79% of the business. This is a sign that Huang has been given too much stock, Minow believes. In her estimation, Huang’s shares should be locked in “golden handcuffs”—meaning he can’t sell until years after he leaves the business. “Stop giving him stock. He’s clearly got too much, and that’s why he’s getting rid of it,” Minow said. “The marginal value of additional stock grants is negligible.” Nvidia has a “pay for performance” strategy, per its SEC filing, based on revenue, operating income, and shareholder returns relative to the S&P 500. But Minow wants more detail. She said: “I would create very specific goals—and this is the job of the board—around market share, innovation, expansion, improving operations. Whatever the board decides the priorities should be. “And let the market know what those goals are. That helps us as investors know if it’s something that we want to participate in.” The board itself presents further potential for improvement, in Minow’s opinion. Of the 12 individuals on the $2.93 trillion company’s board, only one cites experience in “corporate governance” in their official biography (although some of the others have served on other boards). Minow also wants to see Nvidia ticking off the corporate to-do list by updating the market on a successor to the CEO. After all, CEOs can’t lead forever. “His board of directors [is] very strong on technology, not as much on corporate governance,” Minow explains. “I would really like to see them say: ‘We have a process in place to make sure we’re cultivating our top people, making sure we have a deep bench; here’s how we’re going about it.’ “We don’t need a name, but they need to be very forthright about the value that Huang presents and that they’re taking very seriously the idea that he could just decide to go spend his money … They’ve got to be prepared for that.” Huang, famed for his never-off work schedule and endless pushes for perfectionism, is the beating heart of Nvidia—and he has a price tag attached. “Huang is the heart and soul of the company; his reputation is almost as important as the quality of the product,” Minow adds. “Particularly when you’re talking about the [15th] richest man in the world—how do you keep him motivated? It’s certainly not by allowing him to diversify his holdings. “I would give him more of his compensation in cash tied to very specific, quantifiable goals.” Fortune asked Nvidia what its succession plan was and whether it would be more transparent with shareholders about compensation practices. Nvidia declined to comment. A push for transparency is needed across the market, says Aalap Shah, managing director at compensation and leadership consultancy Pearl Meyer. Some of the pillars of American commerce have already learned this lesson: Just ask JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon, who has been open about the banking behemoth’s succession planning process—even naming his “hit-by-a-bus CEO.” Elsewhere, Morgan Stanley was subject to immense speculation prior to its selection last year of Ted Pick to replace James Gorman. “We should be significantly more transparent than we are currently about succession planning,” Shah tells Fortune. “From my perspective for an incoming CEO … one of the top five things they should be doing is succession planning. That to me is a company that is truly looking at the future and is appropriately considering corporate governance. “When succession planning is not transparent and thoughtfully considered you have to make rash decisions, and that, from a shareholder and investor perspective, is what causes volatility.” This story was originally featured on Fortune.com Source link #Nvidias #Jensen #Huang #sells #million #stock #dailyraising #questions #successor Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva torched for ‘absolute garbage’ effort in first Test against Australia Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva torched for ‘absolute garbage’ effort in first Test against Australia Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva has been slammed for throwing away his wicket during the second innings of the first Test against Australia. The Aussies were cruising to a massive victory after enforcing the follow-on, but de Silva and Kusal Mendis had combined for a 50-run partnership to at least provide some resistance. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Dhananjaya de Silva falls cheaply. However, after crushing a boundary to get his side to 5-179, de Silva attempted the same shot only to pick out Beau Webster for a regulation catch. While the wicket wouldn’t have mattered in the grand scheme of things, it did spark a collapse as Australia quickly dismissed the tail to wrap up the innings and 242-run victory. Camera IconDhananjaya de Silva threw away his wicket against Australia. Credit: Channel 7 Channel 7 commentator Greg Blewett was scathing in his assessment of de Silva. “Absolute garbage from the captain,” he said on Channel 7 commentary. “That’s just not good enough. “Your side is going down and he has tried to hit that on the up inside out. “That is not a shot that your captain needs to be playing in these sort of circumstances. “Totally unnecessary, and as I said, from your captain, it is very disappointing. “It was a shot that had no discipline attached to it.” Blewett added that with the potential for rain to come, he should have led by example and fought hard. “As we know, just about every afternoon some rain has come in Sri Lanka. It may not be that far away,” he continued. “We haven’t seen a radar or anything but you fight, you fight, you fight until you possibly can. “I just thought that was a wicket that was given away far too easily. I mean we have seen a few and he is not the lone ranger but he is also the captain, as I have pointed out.” Sri Lankan coach Sanath Jayasuriya didn’t single out the wicket post-match, but did concede a number of senior players made poor shot selections. “The shot selections were not the best,” Jayasuriya said. “Our experienced guys should know how to play and how to adjust themselves to different situations.” Jayasuriya was also left to rue missed opportunities, but pointed to recent history for evidence the hosts can level the series when the second match begins in seaside Galle on Thursday. “They outplayed us, they played positive cricket and they got runs on the board. That was the key,” Jayasuriya said. The loss was Sri Lanka’s largest in Test history, eclipsing a painful defeat to India by an innings and 239 runs in 2017. But things could have been different had the hosts taken their chances on a dominant first day of *********** batting. Usman Khawaja (232) was dropped twice and survived Sri Lanka’s decision not to review a caught-behind chance as he made his way to a 16th Test century. Stand-in captain Steve Smith was put down by Prabath Jayasuriya from his own bowling on one run, and would go on to add 140 more. Sri Lanka had earlier declined what would have been a successful lbw review on Travis Head (57) and missed a run-out chance on Marnus Labuschagne (20), though those errors proved less expensive. “We can’t control (losing) the toss but we should’ve controlled the first session of the game,” coach Jayasuriya said. “It would’ve been a different story altogether if we got some wickets. That was the key. Then they batted really well, Khawaja and Smith both. “You need to take your half-chances, even the review, if you think it’s a half you have to go for it. We missed those.” But Sri Lanka need only look at Australia’s last tour for evidence they can level the series in Galle, where conditions can be unpredictable from match to match. Australia won the first Test by 10 wickets in 2022 on the back of some surprise off-spin brilliance from Travis Head (4-10) and Cameron Green’s half-century. But in the second, middle-order veteran Dinesh Chandimal made an unbeaten double-hundred to power the hosts to victory by an innings and 39 runs – their largest-ever defeat of Australia. Six players from that victorious team, including five of the top-six batters, featured in the recent loss to Australia. “We are capable of doing the change,” said Jayasuriya. “(In 2022) they lost badly in the first game, they came back and they did well. We have to do well.” Sri Lanka are hoping to make at least one change to their XI for the second Test with opening batter Pathum Nissanka a chance to recover from a groin issue. “If he’s fit, definitely Pathum is in. We haven’t decided anything else now,” Jayasuriya said. – With AAP Source link #Sri #Lanka #captain #Dhananjaya #Silva #torched #absolute #garbage #effort #Test #Australia Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]
