World Cup skiers promised at least 10% rise in race prize money next season
GENEVA — Prize money across all World Cup disciplines will increase by at least 10% next season, the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) said Friday.
Superstars in Alpine skiing earn the most — Mikaela Shiffrin and Marco Odermatt each made a record $1 million in race prize money in the 2023 season — but top racers in ski cross and snowboard disciplines typically earn less than 100,000 Swiss francs ($123,000) for the winter.

How Chelsea could line-up next season
Chelsea have secured a return to Champions League football after finishing the 2024/25 campaign in fourth, and the club have already identified key areas in which they need to improve. No team in the top five scored less than Chelsea's 64 goals with attack a position in which they need to bolster. They've already confirmed the arrival of Liam Delap from relegated Ipswich Town for a £30m fee, but club officials are working on further deals. As reported via our colleagues at Get German Football News, talks between Chelsea and Eintracht Frankfurt for the transfer of French attacker Hugo Ekitike have taken place. The Frenchman has been a revelation in the Bundesliga, scoring 15 goals and providing eight assists in 33 league games last season as Frankfurt – who want a package of around €100m for the striker – secured Champions League football. Advertisement But it's another Bundesliga talent in which Chelsea have their eye on. Enzo Maresca's side have submitted a €35m offer to Borussia Dortmund for English winger Jamie Gittens, but the Bundesliga side are holding out for a fee closer to €50m. The Athletic report that Chelsea have already agreed terms with Gittens, who – despite being raw – would improve the team's wide areas with Jadon Sancho returning to Manchester United. Defensively, Chelsea face competition from fellow Champions League returnees Newcastle United in their pursuit to sign former academy product Marc Guehi. The England international played 44 games across all competitions for Crystal Palace last season, including their FA Cup final win over Manchester City. Crystal Palace are already eyeing a replacement in the event that Guehi does leave, but the Englishman would certainly strengthen Chelea's defence alongside compatriot Levi Colwill. And despite spending €83.5m on four goalkeepers: Filip Jørgensen, Mike Penders, Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic, Chelsea are set to add another goalkeeper to their ranks with Kepa Arrizabalaga nearing a move to Arsenal. Milan and Chelsea have agreed on an €18m deal that will see the Frenchman join Chelsea. The 29-year-old has declined of late but Milan have regressed themselves which is certainly a contributing factor. A new environment could do Maignan the world of good and he's become the undisputed number one at Stamford Bridge. Graphic via line-up builder Get Football | News Desk

Despite the downward trend in earnings at Bellway (LON:BWY) the stock swells 12%, bringing three-year gains to 58%
By buying an index fund, investors can approximate the average market return. But if you pick the right individual stocks, you could make more than that. Just take a look at Bellway p.l.c. (LON:BWY), which is up 38%, over three years, soundly beating the market return of 14% (not including dividends). However, more recent returns haven't been as impressive as that, with the stock returning just 16% in the last year, including dividends. After a strong gain in the past week, it's worth seeing if longer term returns have been driven by improving fundamentals. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time. During the three years of share price growth, Bellway actually saw its earnings per share (EPS) drop 28% per year. This means it's unlikely the market is judging the company based on earnings growth. Therefore, we think it's worth considering other metrics as well. The revenue drop of 12% is as underwhelming as some politicians. The only thing that's clear is there is low correlation between Bellway's share price and its historic fundamental data. Further research may be required! You can see how earnings and revenue have changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values). Bellway is a well known stock, with plenty of analyst coverage, suggesting some visibility into future growth. If you are thinking of buying or selling Bellway stock, you should check out this free report showing analyst consensus estimates for future profits. As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR is a return calculation that accounts for the value of cash dividends (assuming that any dividend received was reinvested) and the calculated value of any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. In the case of Bellway, it has a TSR of 58% for the last 3 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. This is largely a result of its dividend payments! We're pleased to report that Bellway shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 16% over one year. And that does include the dividend. That's better than the annualised return of 6% over half a decade, implying that the company is doing better recently. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity.
