High school football star, 16, dead in New Jersey shooting as family mourn 'tragic accident'
A New Jersey community is in mourning after the shocking death of a 16-year-old high school football star who was shot in the head on Friday night. Xyere Brooks died in hospital two hours after being shot inside a Camden County house, in what his family have described as a tragic accident. Investigations are still ongoing into how the incident unfolded, but the victim's brother Manazh Tomkins told 6ABC: 'She put the gun to his head, and I guess she didn't expect it to go off. 'To make a long story short, the gun went off on my brother, and he's no longer here with us.' Brooks was a sophomore at Kipp High School in Camden, and was a star of the football academy with the likes of Rutgers and Syracuse already taking interest in him, according to his mother Antoinette Brooks. Speaking to local media, she added: 'These parents that are leaving their unsupervised teenage kids at home and not knowing what they may come into their homes with... there has to be a better way.' No criminal charges have currently been filed, and the identity of the girl mentioned by Brooks' brother has not been released by cops. Brooks' school also paid tribute to the 16-year-old in a post on Instagram, alongside which they posted a photo of him on the football field, and one of his first day at school. 'This week, our KCNA community is mourning and honoring the life of KHS Camden sophomore Xyere Brooks. 'Xyere began his journey with us at KIPP Lanning Square Middle as a fifth grader with a smile that could light up a room, a competitive spirit, and the kind of energy that brought joy to every hallway and dance battle. 'At @khscamden, Xyere was a committed student, a loyal and encouraging teammate and friend, and a standout football player whose talent and drive were evident to all who knew him. 'As a forever member of the LSM familia and a proud Titan, Xyere will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.'

Western Digital Corporation (WDC): Among Billionaire Larry Robbins' Stock Picks with Huge Upside Potential
We recently published a list of Billionaire Larry Robbins' 10 Stock Picks with Huge Upside Potential. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC) stands against other stock picks with huge upside potential. Larry Robbins is an American hedge fund manager and philanthropist who founded Glenview Capital Management in 2000. The firm manages capital for investors across a range of private investment funds. Robbins is currently the CEO of his firm. He graduated with honors from the Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology at the University of Pennsylvania in 1992 and earned a BS in economics with concentrations in accounting, finance, and marketing. He also has a BS in engineering with a major in systems engineering. He became a Certified Public Accountant in Illinois in 1991. Before founding Glenview Capital, Robbins worked as a portfolio manager at Omega Advisors, which is a prominent hedge fund founded by Leon Cooperman. In 2017, Larry Robbins also began serving as chairman of the Robin Hood Foundation, which fights poverty in New York City. Through his Family Foundation, he is an active supporter of education reform both in NYC and on the national level. He also serves as Chairman of the Board of KIPP NY and is a Board Member of Zearn and Relay Graduate School of Education. Due to his sharp analytical skills and a focus on the healthcare sector, Robbins has built a reputation as one of the most influential figures in the hedge fund industry. Glenview Capital Management has 6 clients and discretionary assets under management (AUM) of $5.6 billion as reported in its Form ADV dated 4 March 2025. The last reported 13F filing for Q4 2024 included $3.95 billion in managed 13F securities and a top 10 holdings concentration of 65.22%. Earlier in September 2024, Institutional Investor reported that Glenview Capital Management was on track for its best year in 5 years. The flagship Glenview Capital Partners fund was up 3.45% in August 2024 and 17.2% through the first 8 months of the year. One of the reasons behind this performance is the hedge fund's diversification away from a historically heavy concentration in healthcare stocks. Glenview Capital Management has now expanded its investments into the tech sector and other industries. Larry Robbins believes in a straightforward investment strategy: 'There are only two things that matter in investing. What are they going to earn, and what multiple are people going to put on that. Let's not make our business any more complicated than this.' To compile the list of billionaire Larry Robbins' 10 stock picks with huge upside potential, we sifted through Q4 2024 13F filings of Glenview Capital from Insider Monkey. From these filings, we checked the upside potential from CNN for the top 30 stock picks and ranked the stocks in ascending order of this upside potential. We have also added Glenview Capital's stake in each stock as well as the broader hedge fund sentiment for it. Note: All data was sourced on May 8. Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter's strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (see more details here). A data center filled with racks of hard disk drives and solid state drives. Glenview Capital's Stake: $41.67 million Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 85 Average Upside Potential as of May 8: 30.93% Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC) designs, manufactures, and sells data storage devices and solutions. It offers a broad portfolio of products, including hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), flash memory, and data storage platforms. It serves customers across various markets, including consumer electronics, data centers, and industrial applications. The company experienced a 5% sequential decline in its FQ3 2025 revenue. The consumer segment, client segment, and cloud segment each fell by 13%, 2%, and 4%, respectively. Earlier in February, Western Digital completed the separation of the Flash business unit (Sandisk), which has introduced a transition period and potential instability. External factors, such as the current global economic and geopolitical uncertainty and shifting trade dynamics, also influence the company's business operations. However, Western Digital Corporation's (NASDAQ:WDC) Cloud end market generated $2 billion in revenue, which made up 87% of the company's total revenue. This was up 38% year-over-year, which was fueled by the increasing need for mass storage solutions driven by the growth of data due to enterprise workloads and the surge in AI-generated content. Parnassus Mid Cap Fund stated the following regarding Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC) in its Q2 2024 investor letter: 'We re-initiated a position in Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:WDC), a manufacturer of memory semiconductor chips and hard disk drives, as we believe earnings expectations are far too low. Semiconductors have been another of our most-alpha-generative industries, thanks to the industry's secular tailwinds and our in-house expertise. Western Digital stands to benefit from the rapid growth of memory-hungry AI applications. The valuation for Western Digital was low relative to its peers, giving us a way to participate in AI at a reasonable valuation.' Overall, WDC ranks 7th on our list of billionaire Larry Robbins' stock picks with huge upside potential. While we acknowledge the potential of WDC as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold great promise for delivering high returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than WDC but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.

An industrial worker in a protective suit operating a complex chemical process.I Glenview Capital's Stake: $62.32 million Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 51 Average Upside Potential as of May 8: 26.61% Element Solutions Inc (NYSE:ESI) is a specialty chemicals company. Its Electronics segment provides assembly solutions, like surface mount technologies, fluxes, thermal management materials, and other attachment materials. The Industrial & Specialty segment offers industrial solutions like electroless nickel, plating products, pre-treatment & cleaning solutions, and water treatment. In Q1 2025, the Electronics segment grew 10% organically year-over-year due to historically higher-margin categories in circuitry and semiconductor, as well as assembly materials for consumer electronics. This translated to a 9% growth in adjusted EBITDA for the segment. Within Electronics, the sales from wafer-level packaging products also surged by ~20% due to the ramp-up of programs on leading-edge nodes. The Semiconductor Solutions business achieved a 17% organic net sales growth due to the demand in wafer-level packaging for semi-fab OSAT customers in Asia. The viaform copper-damaging product line particularly grew ~20% in the quarter. Element Solutions Inc (NYSE:ESI) is also increasing manufacturing capacity for future growth areas like nano copper and power electronics. It's also building research and applications development in high-leverage geographies. The London Company SMID Cap Strategy stated the following regarding Element Solutions Inc (NYSE:ESI) in its Q4 2024 investor letter: 'Initiated: Element Solutions Inc (NYSE:ESI) – ESI is a specialty chemicals producer serving electronics and industrial markets. Electronics is ESI's primary growth engine, supported by content growth in circuit boards, semiconductors, and EV markets. A variable cost structure and sticky, spec'd-in products bolster earnings stability across cycles. ESI offers consistent cash flow and benefits from strong capital allocation led by management aligned with long-term incentives. More recently, management has been divesting non-core assets and reinvesting back into its growth segments. Trading at an attractive discount to intrinsic value, we believe ESI offers upside from a recovering electronics cycle, margin expansion from improved product mix, and pricing power due to high customer switching costs.'
