Sabrina Carpenter strips down to her bra and underwear for a bath with PIGS as she announces new album She dazzled in a lemon yellow frock which featured a thigh high cut and ruffled detail. Sabrina, who spent a record 21 weeks at the top of the singles chart last year, has recently found herself the target of their disdain over her skimpy outfits and flirty lyrics. It has been suggested the Please Please Please singer is setting back the movement for women's rights. But addressing the backlash, she pointed out that her sex-centric songs are the ones that her fans are obsessed with. In an interview with Rolling Stone, she said: "It's always so funny to me when people complain. They're like, 'All she does is sing about this.' "But those are the songs that you've made popular. "Clearly you love sex. "You're obsessed with it." Sabrina admitted she feels like women are picked apart more than ever in the music industry. She shared: "I don't want to be pessimistic, but I truly feel like I've never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinized in every capacity. "I'm not just talking about me. "I'm talking about every female artist that is making art right now.' She added to the publication: "We're in such a weird time where you would think it's girl power, and women supporting women, but in reality, the second you see a picture of someone wearing a dress on a carpet, you have to say everything mean about it in the first 30 seconds that you see it." In March, Sabrina left BRIT viewers threatening to call Ofcom after her racy performance. The singer paid tribute to the nation with Union Jack visuals and dancers dressed as The King's Guard. She delivered performances of her hits Espresso and Bed Chem, wowing the audience on a heart shaped bed - but also sparking backlash from some viewers watching at 8:20pm. Performing in revealing lace lingerie, including suspenders and thigh harnesses, Sabrina embraced the innuendo-filled nature of her music. However, not everyone was impressed, with some expressing their disapproval on social media, claiming the performance was too risqué for a primetime audience. 7 The songstress posed in a magical fairytale setting Credit: David LaChapelle for Rolling Stone 7 She pulled a seductive look while holding daisies in her hand Credit: David LaChapelle for Rolling Stone 7 Sabrina sipped from a glass while dipping her toes in a majestic-looking waterfall Credit: David LaChapelle for Rolling Stone

NNBR Q1 Earnings Call: Revenue Falls Short, Management Emphasizes Cost Cuts and New Business Pipeline
Industrial components supplier NN (NASDAQ:NNBR) missed Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q1 CY2025, with sales falling 12.8% year on year to $105.7 million. The company's full-year revenue guidance of $445 million at the midpoint came in 2% below analysts' estimates. Its non-GAAP loss of $0.03 per share was in line with analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy NNBR? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $105.7 million vs analyst estimates of $109.7 million (12.8% year-on-year decline, 3.7% miss) Adjusted EBITDA: $10.58 million vs analyst estimates of $11.73 million (10% margin, 9.8% miss) The company dropped its revenue guidance for the full year to $445 million at the midpoint from $465 million, a 4.3% decrease EBITDA guidance for the full year is $58 million at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $53.16 million Operating Margin: -4.5%, in line with the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $109 million NN's first quarter performance was shaped by ongoing softness in its core automotive markets and broader industrial demand uncertainty. CEO Harold Bevis highlighted that sales lagged internal expectations, particularly among global automotive customers, with management shifting its business development efforts to immediate, profitable ramp-up sales to compensate. The company's new business program—nicknamed PIGS (Profitable Immediate Growth Strategy)—was a focal point, as management stated it successfully secured $55 million in new program wins ramping up throughout the year. Operational cost reductions, including a 16% workforce reduction since mid-2023, were a key lever to offset market headwinds, with management indicating these actions would support profit improvement in the coming quarters. Looking forward, NN's updated full-year guidance centers on a combination of new business launches, ongoing cost reductions, and working capital improvements. Management reiterated its confidence in hitting EBITDA and free cash flow targets, underpinned by what Bevis described as significant open capacity and a large pipeline of new business opportunities—particularly in industrial and medical segments. The company acknowledged persistent economic uncertainty and tariffs as factors influencing its revenue forecast, but expects its immediate ramp-up wins to partially offset base business weakness. CFO Chris Bohnert noted, 'Our Q1 results have NN on pace to achieve full-year guidance, and we anticipate maintaining this pace through 2025,' while also warning that market conditions could push results toward the lower end of the expected range. Management attributed first quarter results to a combination of softening base business demand and successful execution of new business programs, while emphasizing aggressive cost reduction and operational changes. Automotive demand remains volatile: Management cited lower volumes from global automotive customers, which make up 40% of sales, as a primary factor behind the quarter's weaker demand. The company noted a global slowdown in the transition from internal combustion engine (ICE) to electric vehicles (EV), leading to a more balanced market that leverages NN's existing capabilities. PIGS program drives new wins: The Profitable Immediate Growth Strategy (PIGS) was highlighted as a key initiative, with 120 new programs worth $55 million in annualized sales set to ramp up during 2025. Management said these wins are helping offset softness in legacy business lines and are expected to significantly impact results in the second half of the year. Cost reduction accelerates: The company completed a 16% reduction in its workforce since Q2 2023, with further headcount alignment and cost-cutting underway. Management stated that these initiatives are already improving EBITDA per salaried employee and will continue to support profit margins. Capacity utilization supports growth: NN operated most plants on a single shift, leaving substantial open capacity. This allows the company to pursue new business opportunities without significant capital expenditure, supporting both near- and long-term growth objectives. Transformation progress continues: Management reported its multi-year transformation plan is roughly 70% complete, including enhancements to leadership, plant optimization, and the exit of unprofitable business lines. This, paired with improved working capital efficiency, is positioned as a foundation for future margin improvement. NN's outlook is shaped by new business launches, ongoing cost actions, and uncertain demand trends in core markets. New business ramp-up timing: Management expects approximately half of the $55 million in new program wins to begin contributing meaningfully in the second half of 2025, with remaining wins phased in over the next three to nine months. The timing depends on customer-driven ramp schedules and certification processes, especially in medical and industrial segments. Cost savings execution: The $15 million cost reduction target for 2025 is expected to be mostly evenly distributed throughout the year, with some actions back-end loaded. These savings are intended to counteract pressure from lower base business volumes and support targeted EBITDA margins. Tariff and market uncertainty: Management acknowledged that tariffs and ongoing economic unpredictability continue to affect both quoting activity and customer order patterns, particularly in automotive. While NN is pursuing reshoring and tariff-driven requests for quotes, the company remains selective and cautious about new automotive business requiring significant capital investments. In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will be watching (1) the pace and profitability of new business program ramp-ups, particularly in medical and industrial segments; (2) further progress on cost reduction initiatives and their effect on margins; and (3) updates on plant optimization, including potential consolidations. Execution of tariff-driven opportunities and the company's ability to improve working capital efficiency will also be closely monitored. NN currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 324.3×. Is the company at an inflection point that warrants a buy or sell? The answer lies in our full research report (it's free). Market indices reached historic highs following Donald Trump's presidential victory in November 2024, but the outlook for 2025 is clouded by new trade policies that could impact business confidence and growth.

Sabrina Carpenter accused of ‘glorifying paedophilia' & ‘acting like Andrew Tate's tradwife' after album cover gaffe
Has Sabrina missed the mark? Or is she trying 'bait and switch' strategy? SABRINA Carpenter has quickly become the Queen of Pop, but her new album cover has sparked backlash from fans. The 26-year-old has always been known for pushing the limit, from sexual innuendos in her lyrics to striking suggestive poses while on tour, but fans say her new album cover has gone too far. Advertisement 8 Sabrina's cover album for her new album, Man's Best Friend, has sparked backlash Credit: instagram 8 The 26-year-old has been accused of glorifying paedophilia Credit: Jack Bridgland Studio/Skims 8 It's not the first time the blonde bombshell has got in trouble with her racy behaviour Credit: Getty Sharing the image of her new album cover, titled Man's Best Friend, on Instagram, Sabrina can be seen on all fours while a man dressed in black slacks — whose face is not visible — pulls her blonde hair. The new album will be released in August and comes after Sabrina, who is worth over £8 million, won Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance at the Grammys earlier this year. While she's often been praised for daring to show her sexual side, the new artwork has seen her be slammed for appealing to the male gaze and objectifying women. 'Tradwife' & 'Paedophilia' Furious fans took over the Instagram post to share their thoughts, with one writing: "I get she's going for transgressive, but this is the opposite of transgressive in this era," before concluding, "She looks dumb." Advertisement "Pathetic. WTF is she thinking?" said another, while a third quipped: "Dumpster humanity." "Album cover setting feminism back 100 years," another penned, while a fourth chimed in: "How to use violence against women as a bad buzz to make money, disgusting strategy." A fourth added: "I get she's going for transgressive, but this is the opposite of transgressive in this era," before concluding, "She looks dumb." But it seems eagle-eyed fans and critics are not that surprised by Sabrina's latest stunt. Advertisement Many have claimed the pop star has taken inspiration from the controversial film Lolita in recent years. The film is based on the book by Vladimir Nabokov and explores the 'relationship' between a paedophile and a 12-year-old girl who becomes his stepdaughter while he abuses her. Many have claimed Sabrina has copied scenes from the film multiple times and 'glorified paedophilia'. One image of the blonde for W magazine shows her lying in the garden with a tiny sundress on, getting soaked by a sprinkler, much like the garden scene from Lolita. Advertisement 8 Fans have not been receptive of the new artwork Credit: Instagram 8 Many have been left uncomfortable by her sexual inunedos on and off stage Credit: Instagram/sabrinacarpenter Sabrina Carpenter strips down to her bra and underwear for a bath with PIGS as she announces new album 8 An image for W magazine with Sabrina looks strikingly similar to this Lolita scene Others have said the new cover photo of her upcoming album also reminds them of the film. Advertisement One took to TikTok saying: "The new Sabrina Carpenter photoshoot made me sick to my stomach because it reminds me of that scene in Lolita and now I'm seeing the comparison, it might have been the inspiration." "She's been Lolitaing for a year a half no one noticed til now??" wrote one viewer. But it's not just her racy images that have got her in trouble in the past. Low key giving normalizing pedophilia and it's not the first time. X User A clip of her supporting Taylor Swift at the Eras Tour in Mexico saw her describe herself as looking like a little girl before making an innuendo about sex. Advertisement In the outro to her hit song Nonsense, she said: "I'm full grown but I look like a niña (little girl). "Come put something neat in my casita (small house)." Fans took to X to say they were uncomfortable with the lyrics with one saying: "Ooooo idk bout that one. The implications certainly aren't great, to say the least." Another wrote: "She could want 'something big' in her 'casita' all she wants, it's the 'I look like a niña' part that doesn't sit well." Advertisement "Low key giving normalizing paedophilia and it's not the first time I get this vibes from her. I mean, look at whole image is so off-putting," a third added. Sabrina Carptenter's Rise to Fame SABRINA Carpenter's first role was as the lead in the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World. Between 2014 and 2017, she appeared in over 70 episodes. She also signed with the Disney-owned Hollywood Records and released her debut single, Can't Blame a Girl for Trying, in 2014. After four albums, she moved to Island Records in 2021. Her fifth album, Emails I Can't Send (2022), had her hit singles Nonsense and Feather. Around that time, Sabrina started to gain notoriety in the UK. She opened for Taylor Swift at the Eras Tour in 2023 and then achieved wider commercial success with her sixth album Short n' Sweet, which was released earlier this year. Number one singles from the album include Espresso and Please Please Please. Missed the Mark? Last week, the blonde bombshell released the lead single from the upcoming album, titled Manchild. It quickly made its way to the top spot on both the Spotify U.S. and Global charts. 8 Some fans speculate the new album will go in a completely different direction to the album's title Credit: instagram Advertisement 8 Her new song seems to prove that the album will challenge misogyny Credit: instagram While many have criticised the new album cover, others have defended the pop star and said there's a deeper meaning behind the seemingly submissive image and album title. Britton Rae, a novelist and poet said Sabrina was using a 'bait and switch' move to promote her album, and everyone was falling for it. She said: "If you find this to be controversial, misogynistic, or offensive to women, then congratulations, you are giving Sabrina the reaction she intended to get. Advertisement "What Sabrina Carpenter is doing is absolutely genius." The bait and switch technique means enticing people in with one idea (or drawing criticism like Sabrina has done,) only for it to be something totally different when it's fully presented She continued: "I think it's going to be a story about her recognising that she has been doing this to herself due to the pressure of societal norms. "I think this album is a bait and switch. She is baiting the public to get all riled up, thinking that she is making herself Man's Best Friend, making herself more palatable to men. Advertisement "Really she is just simply personifying how society already sees and views and pressures women into becoming. I think this album is going to tell the story of her recognizing that she has fallen victim to this societal norm as well." If Sabrina's previous albums and lyrics are anything to go by, we're sure this album isn't going to be about her love for men or wanting to be submissive to one like the imagery alludes to. The newest song, Manchild, is all about men being incompetent and not treating women right, and her fans are excited to hear the rest of the album. One wrote: "This album feels like it's gonna be a GIANT middle finger to men and I am thrilled for it." Advertisement "Immediately when I saw this cover I thought 'she's saying that men treat women like dogs, like we are sub-human to them' and I was shocked to see the amount of people that didn't think the same thing," said another.
