BMW's Small, Carbon-Laden Superbike Emerged at Villa d'Este
Paying particular attention to aerodynamics and the demands placed on a superbike and its rider, Concept RR is not only lightweight and performant, but it's compact, too. BMW also culled many external attachments to further focus on airflow around the bike and rider, and improved airflow through the bike itself to increase airflow to the rear winglets of the bike.
Focusing on "riding stability at very high speeds" and the Concept RR's ability to handle cornering at high speeds, BMW engineers knew they'd have to reduce air resistance in every possible way. BMW utilized carbon and aluminum throughout, materials renowned for their stability and strength while remaining lightweight. Where BMW engineers didn't eliminate, like with the external attachments, they innovated. The frame and every component on the bike, for example, were "optimized for lightweight construction and performance."
BMW applied everything learned from the track to the Concept RR. The bike is just as performant beneath the fuel tank but packs all the power and performance from previous generations into a smaller, lighter package. What more could you ask for?
BMW wasn't clear on how much of the bike is carbon, but it seems that many of the body panels are. We know the frame and tail are aluminum, but we don't know where else aluminum may have been incorporated. It's an incredible early look at the Concept RR, but we just wish there were more details. From what we know so far, though, it's an incredible bike.

Resideo Tech (REZI) Jumps as Firm Slashes $140-Million Annual Obligations
We recently published . Resideo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:REZI) is one of the best-performing stocks on Wednesday. Resideo Technologies saw its share prices surge by 16.17 percent on Wednesday to finish at $28.52 apiece as investors took path from a series of developments that will see the company get rid of $140 million in annual obligations and focus on its core business of providing product solutions. In a statement on Wednesday, Resideo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:REZI) said that it entered into a definitive agreement with Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:HON) for the one-time payment of $1.59 billion that would terminate a financial agreement agreed upon since 2018, and which has been in effect until 2043. Upon closing of the transaction, Resideo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:REZI) will be freed from annual obligations worth $140 million. Resideo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:REZI) said funds for the payment will come from a combination of $400 million cash on hand and new senior secured debt financing with JPMorgan and Wells Fargo. In line with the move, the company will also spin off its ADI Global Distribution business which will see the separation of the latter from Resideo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:REZI). The move is expected to allow the companies to focus on their core businesses. While we acknowledge the potential of REZI as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

NIKE, Inc. (NKE) Has To Do More Layoffs, Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) is an athletic apparel and footwear retailer currently in the midst of a long-drawn turnaround effort. The firm's shares have gained 6% year-to-date, primarily on the back of a 28% gain that started in late June. NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE)'s shares soared after the firm's fiscal Q4 earnings report saw it report $0.14 in EPS and $11.10 billion in revenue to beat analyst estimates of $0.13 and $10.72 billion. Cramer's previous comments about NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) have discussed the turnaround and speculated that the firm would have to cut prices. This time, he stressed that the firm needs another layoff to streamline operations: Copyright: halfpoint / 123RF Stock Photo 'I know. I was expecting, I was thinking that Nike would have another layoff. I think that they're still too bloated. . . ..I think that the Footlocker buy by Dick's is an acknowledgement that Footlocker's getting the right Nikes. I think, but I think they needed another cut. I think they have too many people. That's out there. I just think it's still a little too early. I think that industry clustered around Nike, and that Nike no longer seems to have that athletic edge that they once had.' While we acknowledge the potential of NKE as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
