AMAALA Unveils Professional Sailing Team to Champion Ocean Science, Sustainability

Red Sea Global has officially launched Team AMAALA, a professional sailing team that will compete in The Ocean Race Europe 2025—one of the most prestigious and challenging sailing competitions in the world. The race will span several stages from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic Sea, placing AMAALA at the heart of an international movement for ocean sustainability. Sailing, Sustainability The formation of Team AMAALA represents a significant step in Red Sea Global's deepening connection with the sailing world. This move also reflects the company's long-term commitment to ocean conservation and sustainable development. Leading the team is Alan Roura, a renowned Swiss sailor with a strong track record in high-performance ocean racing, particularly in the IMOCA 60 class. Vision for Conscious Tourism, Environmental Advocacy John Pagano, CEO of Red Sea Global, emphasized the broader mission behind the initiative: 'We are building integrated destinations guided by science and inspired by nature, aiming to enhance the well-being of humans, society, and nature together. We also believe that conscious tourism can be a driving force for positive change and a means to empower destinations to thrive and sustain.' He added that Team AMAALA's presence in The Ocean Race Europe offers a powerful platform to advocate for global solidarity in protecting marine environments. 'If there is a time when the world needs a collective will to protect our oceans and natural inspiration for sailors, this is the right time,' Pagano noted. Global Recognition, Stronger Identity Pagano further highlighted the strategic value of Team AMAALA: 'This project enhances our global identity and presence. While Red Sea Global has been a proud part of The Ocean Race family since 2023, now it's time for Team AMAALA to raise its flag on the global stage and forge deeper connections with the sailing world and the luxury yachting lifestyle central to our destination.' Following its debut in The Ocean Race Europe 2025, Team AMAALA is set to participate in future landmark events, including: A transatlantic race from New York to Barcelona in 2026 A round-the-world race in 2027, with the AMAALA destination as the grand finale, making it the first time the race concludes on the Red Sea coast Commitment to Ocean Science, Research As part of its participation, AMAALA will also serve as an official supporter of The Ocean Race's science program during both the 2025 and 2027 races. This initiative will collect critical ocean data, such as: Water temperature Salinity levels Oxygen and CO₂ content Microplastic concentrations Environmental DNA samples This data will be shared with international scientific bodies, contributing to a deeper understanding of changing oceanic conditions, particularly in European waters. The 2023 edition of the race yielded over four million data points for scientific research. Corallium One of the key beneficiaries of this data will be Corallium, AMAALA's marine life center set to open later this year. Corallium will serve as a global hub for: Ocean conservation Marine education Environmental awareness Ocean Race Finally, Red Sea Global's partnership with The Ocean Race began in 2023, rooted in a shared mission to promote ocean health and sustainability. In 2024, AMAALA was officially named the final destination for the 15th edition of The Ocean Race in 2027—an honor that underscores the Red Sea's growing significance in the global sailing and marine conservation communities.

The historic deal opened the door for AAA's biggest names to join WWE, and fans have been curious to see who makes the jump. While names like Mr. Iguana have already caught attention, Psycho Clown's name has been at the center of speculation for months. Now, according to Cory Hays, those rumours seem close to reality. The report states that Psycho Clown will no longer be accepting independent bookings after August 2025, a move that often signals a wrestler is preparing to sign with WWE. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Although WWE has not officially confirmed anything, insiders believe it's only a matter of time before Psycho Clown reports to the WWE Performance Center. It is still unclear if he will debut through NXT or go straight to RAW or SmackDown, but one thing's for sure, WWE officials are keeping a close eye on him. A fantastic career and recent WWE appearance Psycho Clown comes from the famous Alvarado wrestling family and has been part of the business since 2000.

Chuck Pagano's Ravens return doubles as a shot at some unfinished business

Chuck Pagano's Ravens return doubles as a shot at some unfinished business Chuck Pagano's return draws smiles each time it is mentioned, but it may also gist the longtime Raven with some closure. Every glimpse of Chuck Pagano in the Baltimore Ravens' black and purple forces an immediate smile across the countenance. It's like he never left (even though we know he did). He never looked quite right in that Indianapolis Colts gear, nor did he ever look like a Chicago Bears coach. Chuck's home is with the flock. It always has been. He's probably forgotten more about defense than some of these younger coaches will ever know. He has coached for nearly four decades, and he's still going strong. Baltimore recently dropped its look "Inside Rookie Minicamp with Malaki Starks", and the Ravens' secondary coach allowed some behind-the-scenes access. Coach Pagano knows what he's doing, and he knows great defensive talent when he sees it. After all, he once led a unit that featured Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and Terrell Suggs. He hasn't paced an NFL sideline since the 2020 NFL season, but it's good to have him back. While he's in town, the Ravens may as well help him handle some unfinished business. Chuck Pagano has an opportunity to win a Super Bowl that he missed out on the last time He's the owner of a coaching resume that many would love to have. His journey began in 1984 as a graduate assistant at USC. Fate eventually led him to Baltimore. Pagano spent three years as the Ravens' secondary coach before assuming the title of defensive coordinator in 2011. That season didn't go as planned. It ended with Billy Cundiff's missed field goal in the AFC Championship Game vs. the New England Patriots. Three days later, Coach Pagano was introduced as the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Baltimore would win the Super Bowl one year later, in Ray Lewis and Ed Reed's final season with the team. Chuck still has yet to taste Super Bowl glory. You can see where all of this is headed, right? More than 13 years separate Coach Pagano's exit from his return. This season feels like unfinished business, both for the Ravens and their secondary coach. As he did many moons ago, he's fortunate to have some talent in the secondary. Kyle Hamilton and Marlon Humphrey are his Pro Bowlers. Malaki Starks is the talented rookie. Pagano has never been a stranger to hard work. Starks recently shared a story of his position coach texting him about film at 5 a.m. That's precisely the type of work ethic this team will need to win it all. Two seasons ago, they lost in the AFC Championship Game. A year ago, they were bounced in the Divisional Round. Might this be their year? Let's hope so for the fans, this roster, and some returning friends.

WTS Q1 Earnings Call: Tariffs, Supply Chain Strategy, and Cautious Outlook Shape Results

Water management manufacturer Watts Water (NYSE:WTS) reported revenue ahead of Wall Street's expectations in Q1 CY2025, but sales fell by 2.3% year on year to $558 million. Its non-GAAP profit of $2.37 per share was 11.3% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy WTS? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $558 million vs analyst estimates of $547.8 million (2.3% year-on-year decline, 1.9% beat) Adjusted EPS: $2.37 vs analyst estimates of $2.13 (11.3% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $119.8 million vs analyst estimates of $110.1 million (21.5% margin, 8.8% beat) Operating Margin: 15.7%, down from 16.9% in the same quarter last year Organic Revenue fell 2.1% year on year (6.4% in the same quarter last year) Market Capitalization: $8.17 billion Watts Water's first quarter results were shaped by the impact of tariffs, ongoing supply chain adjustments, and weakness in European markets. CEO Bob Pagano attributed the 2% organic sales decline primarily to fewer shipping days and ongoing challenges in Europe, while highlighting incremental contributions from the I-CON acquisition. The company also benefited from productivity measures and cost controls that offset inflationary pressures. Pagano noted, 'We benefited from incremental sales from our I-CON acquisition. However, the benefit was more than offset by unfavorable foreign exchange.' The quarter also saw Watts Water continue automation and restructuring actions, including the exit from a French manufacturing facility, to drive further productivity. Looking ahead, Watts Water's guidance reflects caution around macroeconomic uncertainty, especially regarding tariffs and their impact on global demand. Management expects price increases, global sourcing actions, and accelerated onshoring of production to mitigate additional tariff costs and potential demand reduction later in the year. CEO Bob Pagano explained, 'Despite the uncertainty around the trade environment and resulting demand impacts, we are maintaining our full year organic sales and adjusted operating margin outlook.' The company anticipates ongoing softness in Europe due to continued heat pump destocking and construction market weakness, with some signs of recovery potentially emerging in the second half. Management is focused on leveraging its U.S. manufacturing base and maintaining flexibility in capital allocation to support growth opportunities. Management identified tariffs, supply chain adjustments, and regional demand trends as key drivers of the quarter's performance and outlook. Tariff management and pricing: Watts Water is proactively addressing tariff impacts through price increases, supply chain relocation, and increased U.S. manufacturing. Management emphasized its ongoing strategy of "making products in the regions for the region" to reduce exposure to tariffs, particularly those affecting components sourced from China. Productivity and cost controls: The company continues to implement automation, lean initiatives, and selective restructuring. The exit from a French facility and integration of recent acquisitions are expected to enhance productivity and reduce operational costs, supporting margins even as sales volumes face headwinds. Regional performance differences: Americas performance was described as solid, helped by U.S.-based manufacturing and pre-buying ahead of tariff-related price increases. Europe remained weak due to destocking in heat pumps and a slowdown in construction, while APMEA (Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) showed growth, partly offset by fewer shipping days in some markets. Acquisition integration: The integration of recent acquisitions, especially I-CON, is progressing ahead of schedule, with cost and revenue synergies already being realized. Management expects these businesses to contribute positively to adjusted EBITDA margins and earnings per share in 2025. Inventory and supply chain resilience: Watts Water maintains approximately three months of inventory and has secured sufficient raw material supplies, mitigating risks from supply chain disruptions and raw material shortages. Management noted ongoing efforts to diversify suppliers and maintain flexibility in the current trade environment. Watts Water's outlook for the remainder of the year is shaped by tariff impacts, regional demand softness, and its ability to offset cost pressures through operational measures. Tariff and trade environment: Management expects tariffs to remain a headwind, particularly for products with components sourced from China. The company is relying on price increases, supply chain shifts, and onshoring to offset these costs. CEO Bob Pagano cautioned that prolonged high tariffs could impact demand, especially in the second half of the year. European market challenges: The company forecasts continued weakness in Europe due to new construction slowdowns and ongoing heat pump destocking. While there are some indications that demand could stabilize later in the year, management remains cautious and has built conservative assumptions into its guidance. Capital allocation and productivity: Watts Water plans to maintain capital allocation flexibility, including a recently announced 21% dividend increase. Continued investment in automation, lean initiatives, and restructuring—such as the French facility exit—are central to its strategy for protecting margins and supporting long-term growth. In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will be monitoring (1) the effectiveness of Watts Water's tariff mitigation strategies and supply chain adjustments, (2) trends in European demand, particularly any recovery in the construction and heat pump markets, and (3) the continued integration and performance of acquisitions like I-CON. Progress on cost controls, price realization, and capital allocation decisions will also be notable signposts for sustained profitability. Watts Water Technologies currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 26.4×. Is the company at an inflection point that warrants a buy or sell? The answer lies in our full research report (it's free). Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election sent major indices to all-time highs, but stocks have retraced as investors debate the health of the economy and the potential impact of tariffs. While this leaves much uncertainty around 2025, a few companies are poised for long-term gains regardless of the political or macroeconomic climate, like our Top 5 Growth Stocks for this month.

WWE Worlds Collide 2025: Legado Del Fantasma takes down Wagner Jr., Pagano, and Psycho Clown in a six-man tag match

For a long time, Legado Del Fantasma has been stuck in WWE's lower card. Santos Escobar, Angel and Berto have been solid performers, but more often than not, they have been used to make other wrestlers look strong. They rarely got a chance to shine themselves. This, however, changed at WWE Worlds Collide. Their opponents were AAA stars El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., Pagano and Psycho Clown, a team full of experience and high-flying ability. From the start, the match was intense and fast paced. Wagner Jr. and Berto began things with some back and forth action, but the tide quickly turned when Psycho Clown came in with power moves and wild dives, including a devastating dive that sent Escobar crashing into the announce table. Pagano brought more chaos with a facebuster on Berto and an ambitious dive to the outside. Escobar showed good ring awareness by pulling Angel out of the way, causing Pagano to crash hard. The WWE trio used teamwork to isolate Pagano, hitting a series of triple kicks and keeping him away from his partners. The action spilled outside the ring several times, with high-flying moves. Some of the wrestlers crashed through barricades. Wagner Jr. showed his skill with an Eddie Guerrero tribute spot but could not finish the match. Escobar fought back fiercely, hitting a big knee and then a superrana off the top rope. He ended the match with his Phantom Driver finisher, pinning Wagner Jr. for the win. A turning point for Legado Del Fantasma? Legado del Fantasma are ready to take on @Psychooriginal, Pagano and @hijodewagner ! Who ya got?! 😤#WorldsCollide This win is huge for Legado Del Fantasma. After months of losing and being treated like jobbers in WWE, this victory could give them the momentum they need to climb the ranks. Defeating respected AAA stars in a match full of energy and drama showed that Escobar and his team can deliver when it matters most. This victory at Worlds Collide might be the start of a new chapter for Legado Del Fantasma in WWE. Fans will be watching closely to see if they can build on this and finally get the push their talent deserves.
