Wyandotte County to begin mailing residential property valuations
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Unified Government of Wyandotte County will begin mailing all of its residential property valuations on Friday, Feb. 28.
Commercial notices will be mailed on March 10.
The UG is warning residents that they should expect to see an increase in valuation due to a shortage of supply and bigger demand.
The Appraiser's Office is required to value property at a fair market value as of January 1 of each year with exception of agricultural land, which is valued by its agricultural use.

Limited supply and strong demand for commercial and residential properties caused increases in sales prices from the prior year, resulting in an increase in county appraised values, according to the Appraiser's Office at the Unified Government.
Those that don't agree with the appraised value of their residential or commercial property or simply wants to review the information on file can file an appeal with the Office of the Appraiser by Saturday March 29.
The Office of the Appraiser will be hosting a series of community information sessions to help raise awareness about the property appraisal process and how to file an appeal.

What WWDC tells us about the future of Apple and the iPhone
This post originally appeared in the BI Tech Memo newsletter. Sign up for the weekly BI Tech Memo newsletter here. WWDC was a bit of a bust. Apple's Liquid Glass design overhaul was criticized on social media because it makes some iPhone notifications hard to read. A few jokers on X even shared a screenshot of YouTube's play button obstructing the "Gl" in a thumbnail for an Apple Liquid Glass promo. Need I say more? The more serious question hanging over this year's WWDC was not answered. When will Siri get the AI upgrade it desperately needs? Software chief Craig Federighi delivered the bad news: It's still not ready. That knocked roughly $75 billion off Apple's market value. The stock recovered a bit, but it's still badly lagging behind rivals this month. Google, OpenAI, and other tech companies are launching powerful new AI models and products at a breakneck pace. Apple is running out of time to prove it's a real player in this important field. Analyst Dan Ives is usually bullish, but even he's concerned. "They have a tight window to figure this out," Ives wrote, after calling this year's WWDC a "yawner." AI is complex, expensive, and takes a long time to get right. Apple was late to start building the needed foundational technology, such as data centers, training data pipelines, and homegrown AI chips. By contrast, Google began laying its AI groundwork decades ago. It bought DeepMind in 2014, and this AI lab shapes Google's models in profound ways today. When I was at Google I/O last month, one or two insiders whispered a phrase. They cautiously described an "intelligence gap" that could open up between the iPhone and other smartphones. Many Android phones already feature Google's Gemini chatbot, which is far more capable than Siri. If Apple's AI upgrade takes too long, this intelligence gap could widen so much that some iPhone users might consider switching. At I/O, these insiders only whispered this idea. That's because it will take something pretty dramatic to get people to give up their iPhones. This device has become a utility that we can't live without — even for the few days (weeks?) it might take to get used to an Android replacement. Still, if Apple doesn't get its AI house in order soon, this intelligence gap will keep growing, and things could get really siri-ous.

French lender BPCE to buy Portugal's Novo Banco in major merger deal
In the latest of a series of cross-border merger dramas, France's BPCE is acquiring a 75% stake in Portugal's Novo Banco from US private equity firm Lone Star. The offer values the lender at €6.4bn, making the deal one of Europe's largest banking transactions in recent years. It also reflects a recent wave of consolidation interest within the sector. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to the necessary approvals from regulators and shareholders. 'This transaction enhances our ability to serve Portuguese families and businesses, deepens our commitment to the national economy, and secures a long-term future built on strength, trust, and shared ambition,' said Novo Banco's CEO Mark Bourke in a regulatory filing. Novo Banco was established in 2014 by the Portuguese central bank as the "good bank" carved out from the collapsed Banco Espírito Santo. BES was one of Portugal's oldest and most prominent lenders before its failure during the eurozone financial crisis. In 2017, after over two years of failed attempts by the Portuguese government to privatize Novo Banco, Lone Star acquired a 75% stake by injecting €1bn in capital. The remaining 25% remained under the control of the Portuguese resolution fund and the state, as is still the case today. The years following the acquisition were complicated for Lone Star. Novo Banco dealt with hefty legacy losses from bad loans, which jeopardised the lender's financial position. But in 2021, the bank turned a corner by posting its first profits. Since then, the lender has built itself up as a major player in the Portuguese financial scene. According to Novo Banco's first quarter earnings report, the lender held €43.72bn in net assets and posted a return on tangible equity of 21.7%. Related Sabadell considers move back to Catalonia as BBVA takeover bid looms Banking mergers are hot right now, but cross-border deals still face hurdles BPCE has already initiated conversations with Portuguese authorities regarding the possible purchase of the remaining 25% stake, meaning the deal could eventually evolve into full ownership. For now, however, the French bank is still diversifying its geographic footprint by entering a second core retail market in Europe. It also increases its exposure to variable rate loans, which are more common in Portugal than in France. A competing offer had been considered from Spain's CaixaBank, which already owns Portuguese lender BPI, but the Portuguese government had doubts about increasing Spanish influence in its domestic banking sector. The deal between BPCE and Lone Star comes in the context of a broader trend of cross-border banking mergers. After years of subdued merger activity following the 2008 financial crisis, institutions like UniCredit, BBVA, and Italy's MPS are actively pursuing expansion strategies. At the same time, governments are gradually stepping back from previously nationalised banks, opening the door for more private ownership. Examples of this include UniCredit's stake building in Germany's Commerzbank, with ownership now nearing 30%, and its partial ownership of Greece's Alpha Bank (20%), along with BNP Paribas' acquisition of AXA Investment Managers. An ongoing merger saga is also unfolding in Spain, where the country's second-largest bank, BBVA, has launched a hostile public offer to acquire its rival Banco Sabadell.

Apple stock could catch a short-term bid with cheap valuation: Morgan Stanley
-- Apple shares may benefit from short-term upside as deep discounting in China fuels stronger-than-expected iPhone and iPad sales, according to Morgan Stanley. 'iPhone and iPad sell-through in China are positively surprising this quarter thanks to 618 Festival promotion momentum,' Morgan Stanley analysts wrote, adding that the trend suggests 'up to $4B June revenue upside vs. MSe, all else equal.' 'Specifically, we now see ~3.0M units of upside to our June quarter iPhone shipments and ~2.5M units of upside to our June quarter iPad shipments,' the bank stated. China's 618 Festival promotions and national subsidies are said to have been key drivers, leading to 'very strong' iPhone sell-through for three consecutive weeks. The bank's Greater China Tech Hardware team now estimates 46.5 million iPhone builds and 14.5 million iPad builds in the June quarter, representing year-over-year growth of 19% and 38%, respectively. That's up from prior estimates of 45 million iPhones and 13 million iPads. Using historical seasonal relationships between builds and shipments, Morgan Stanley projects iPhone shipments to hit 49 million, which is '7% above MSe of 46.0M units, and 8% above Consensus at 45.2M.' For iPads, they now see 14.7 million shipments, '20% above MSe of 12.3M units, and 12% above Consensus.' While near-term Services growth uncertainty remains a concern for investors, Morgan Stanley stated: 'Estimate upside is typically accompanied by multiple expansion, so watch for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) to potentially catch a short-term bid given the stock is trading towards the lower-end of its 24-32x P/E range over the last 2 years.'
