HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EPIC Crude Holdings, LP ('EPIC Crude' or 'the Company') is excited that the Port of Corpus Christi has finalized their significant four-phase Channel Improvement Project ('CIP Project') that began in 2017. The CIP Project deepened the channel from 47 to 54 feet and widened the channel to 530 feet from 400 feet, all centered on accommodating the growing demand for larger vessels.

Customers recognize EPIC Crude's differentiated strategy of providing equal access to all markets and premier docks in Corpus Christi and Ingleside, providing access to the Dated Brent market through the EPIC dock, and providing an opportunity to economically expand the pipeline to provide additional take-away capacity out of the Permian to the premium Corpus Christi market.
'Our long-term partnership with the Port of Corpus Christi has been tremendous given their focus on creating the premier energy export facility in the U.S.," said Brian Freed, Chief Executive Officer of EPIC. 'The results of this work can be seen through our business success with EPIC Crude transporting more than 600,000 MBpd to the Corpus Christi market.

Why Netflix's beat-and-raise quarter is welcome news for Disney investors

Strong earnings from streaming king Netflix on Thursday sets the stage for Disney to shine with its results in a few weeks. Netflix reported an upbeat quarterly results after the bell Thursday, with revenue soaring 16% year over year, its seventh straight quarter of double-digit growth. The streaming service also delivered beats on operating income, earnings per share and free cash flow, and raised its full-year revenue guidance. (Shares were down Friday on Netflix warning that its operating margin would be lower in the second half of 2025). While the results certainly keep Netflix atop the competitive streaming industry, they also provide a good read-through for Disney, which has been hyper-focused on growing its streaming platforms — Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ -- as its traditional TV business remains challenged. Indeed, Netflix reported "healthy member growth" — Netflix no longer discloses quarterly net member adds — proving consumers are still willing to pay for streaming entertainment. But it also found success with higher pricing for its products and revenue from its new ad-supported services. That higher pricing is welcome news for other streamers, including Disney, which has raised prices for Disney+ ad-supported and ad-free plans, as well as for its bundles which combine Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+. The uptick in ad revenue at Netflix demonstrates that major streaming platforms like Disney+ can raise prices and grow advertising income without losing subscribers, proving that customers are willing to pay up for premium content, and that ad-supported models can help diversify revenue streams. In related news, NBCUniversal's streaming service Peacock just announced Friday that it is raising prices by $3 per month for its ad-supported and ad-free tiers. The price hikes come after a surge in subscribers for the latest season of "Love Island" and in anticipation of its NBA broadcast package beginning this fall. (NBCUniversal is the parent company of CNBC.) Ahead of Disney's third quarter on Aug. 6, UBS estimated double-digit earnings per share growth will continue, buoyed by resilient demand at the company's theme parks and similar improvement in direct-to-consumer profitability. They note concerns that the opening of Universal's Epic theme park in Orlando appear to have been overblown. The analysts raised its price target on Disney stock to $138 a share from $120 earlier this week. After a big move off their April lows, shares have been rangebound as investors wait to hear more about streaming profitability improvements, the strength of its parks and experiences business, and management's plan to mitigate declines in linear TV. The stock is trading roughly 1% lower at $121 per share Friday. Disney is a "show-me stock," Jim Cramer said Thursday on "Squawk on the Street." "People want to see the Disney+ numbers and see that there really is a breakout because there's been so much distrust about anything that's involved with linear [TV]," he said. "No one seems to get their way until they see the numbers. I think the numbers are going to come through and the stock's going to look cheap. I'm a believer." Of course, we don't sacrifice our discipline even when we have faith that Disney will be able to move higher over time. We trimmed our position on June 27 to capitalize on that big run. Now, we're waiting for earnings in a couple weeks for a business update. We maintain our price target of $130 and 2-rating on the stock. (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long DIS.

Humana Simplifies Access to Coverage and Care Information

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Humana Inc. [NYSE: HUM] announced today its latest collaboration with healthcare software company Epic, becoming the first health insurer to integrate health plan information directly into the MyChart accounts patients may already use with their healthcare providers. 'This integration not only simplifies access to critical plan details but also empowers members to manage their health effectively,' said George Renaudin, Humana's President of Insurance. This enables Humana Medicare Advantage members to access their insurance details – such as vital coverage information, benefits, contacts and other resources – in the same place where they manage the rest of their care. 'We are dedicated to making our members' healthcare experience as smooth and effortless as possible,' said George Renaudin, Humana's President of Insurance. 'This integration not only simplifies access to critical plan details but also empowers members to manage their health effectively.' With over 3 million of Humana's members already using MyChart, this partnership with Epic marks a significant milestone in integrating care delivery with health plan information. 'Navigating healthcare can be complex, especially when information lives in different places,' said Alan Hutchison, Vice President at Epic. 'This collaboration aims to make things simpler by bringing care and coverage together for patients.' How Does It Work? Automatic Prompt: When members log into a connected health system's MyChart, they will be prompted to link their MyChart account to their Humana plan. Embedded Information: Once linked, members gain access to payer-maintained information and their insurance activity, which includes deductible and maximum out-of-pocket progress, a digital ID card, and direct links to health plan resources. How Does It Help Patients? Centralized Access: Members can view personalized coverage totals and benefit details, including deductibles and out-of-pocket costs for both in-network and out-of-network services, without switching between apps or searching for paper summaries. Comprehensive Resources: Without having to log out of MyChart, Humana members will have access to tailored reminders and resources, including a single sign-on to important phone numbers like the 24/7 Nurse Advice Line, and information on claims and authorization status. This innovative feature enables members to conveniently access their health plan's information, increasing transparency and reducing the effort required to find critical details about their coverage and health plan resources.

Allina Health to use Evidently's AI summarisation and documentation tools

US-based Allina Health has announced its partnership with Evidently, a clinical data intelligence platform, to process millions of patient encounters each year. This collaboration aims to reduce cognitive demands on clinicians while improving care quality and financial accuracy. Clinicians at Allina Health can utilise Evidently's evidence-based AI tools for summarisation and documentation, which retrieve critical patient information from records. By minimising the need for time-consuming manual reviews, these tools enhance decision-making and ensure accurate documentation, supporting institutional quality goals and proper reimbursement for services, according to Evidently. The partnership will see Evidently available for all care settings at Allina Health. Clinicians will benefit from advanced chart summarisation features, including 'Ask Evidently,' an AI chat interface integrated into the electronic health record (EHR) system, along with tools for drafting notes and appeals. Allina Health chief digital and information officer David Ingham said: 'Allina Health wants to be on the leading edge of providing the right tools to support our providers without disrupting how they work day-to-day. 'These support tools allow our providers to spend less time in the EHR and more time with the patient.' Evidently's platform, developed over 15 years of research in deep learning and large language models, operates within an organisation's EHR to index both structured and unstructured data, such as clinical notes and scanned documents. It provides tailored summaries for various workflows, including pre-charting, health maintenance, and clinical documentation improvement. These summaries are embedded into clinicians' processes, reducing cognitive strain while enhancing care quality and ensuring accurate reimbursement. Evidently founder and CEO Feng Niu said: 'We're united in our commitment to resolve the inherent challenges posed by fragmented clinical data, burdensome documentation, and the ever-present issue of limited clinician time. 'This partnership is not only crucial for improving patient care and provider wellness, but also for building a financially sustainable future through better documentation.' Healthcare providers across the US leverage Evidently's compliant, evidence-based AI platform to reduce time spent in EHR systems and recover substantial unrealised reimbursement. In 2023, Allina Health partnered with Chicago's Epic-based virtual care company KeyCare to provide patients with quality virtual care. "Allina Health to use Evidently's AI summarisation and documentation tools " was originally created and published by Hospital Management, a GlobalData owned brand.
