The shares of FirstCry-parent Brainbees Solutions declined over 3% to their day’s low of Rs 229 on the NSE on Wednesday even as its Q4 net loss narrowed 61% to Rs 30.30 crore from the Rs 77 crore net profit reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.

The company released its results on Tuesday after market hours. While losses contracted sharply, revenue grew 12% YoY to Rs 2,163 crore in Q4 FY26, up from Rs 1,930 crore in the same quarter last year.

Although the net loss contracted sharply year-on-year, it increased sequentially from the Rs 28.43 crore net loss reported in the October-December quarter of the same financial year. The firm’s topline also declined 11% quarter-on-quarter from the Rs 2,424 crore revenue reported in the previous quarter of FY26.

The company’s adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) stood at Rs 119 crore versus Rs 101 crore in the year-ago period, while the adjusted EBITDA margin in Q4 FY26 was 5.5% compared to 5.2% in Q4 FY25.

Overall for the financial year ending March 31, 2026, FirstCry reported a 23% YoY drop in net loss while revenue grew 12% YoY and EBITDA rose 24% YoY. “With our current initiatives, we believe that structurally the growth rate for both online & offline channels will be much superior in FY27,” the company said in an exchange filing.

It added that it witnessed sequential improvement in YoY growth rate for revenue, despite heightened competitive intensity during the quarter. With its initiatives in offline channels, GMV grew in the mid-teens in Q4FY26, the filing said.
Morgan Stanley has maintained its “Equal-weight” rating on Brainbees Solutions Limited with a target price of Rs 300 (10% upside). The brokerage noted that margins were impacted by intense competition in the diapers segment and higher manufacturing costs. Management expects the India business growth rate in FY27 to improve over FY26, while manufacturing-related margin pressures are likely to reverse from Q2 onward. The brokerage added that competitive intensity in diapers could continue for another four to six quarters, even as the company targets adding more than 100 stores in FY27.

Aequs Limited shares dropped 6.25% to Rs 198.39 during Wednesday’s trading session after the company reported a sharp decline in profitability for the March quarter and widened full-year losses for FY26.

The stock came under pressure even as the company posted robust revenue growth, with investors appearing concerned over rising operational costs and continued losses in the consumer electronics business.

Aequs reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 54.1 crore in Q4FY26, compared to a net profit of Rs 9 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.

However, revenue from operations surged 47% year-on-year to Rs 367.1 crore, up from Rs 249.3 crore in Q4FY25, supported by strong momentum in its aerospace business and rapid scaling of the consumer segment.

EBITDA came in at Rs 32.1 crore, while the EBITDA margin stood at 9%. Margins contracted mainly due to the commencement of commercial operations in the consumer electronics segment during Q3FY26, which led to full operating costs being booked even as utilisation levels remained low.

The consumer business contributed 17% to total quarterly revenues, highlighting the company’s ongoing expansion in the segment.

FY26 Performance: Revenue and EBITDA Rise, But Losses Widen

For the financial year FY26, Aequs Limited reported a net loss of Rs 113.3 crore, with losses widening compared to the previous financial year. Despite pressure on profitability, the company delivered strong operational performance driven by growth across its core businesses.
Revenue for the year rose 33% year-on-year to Rs 1,230.4 crore, reflecting healthy demand momentum and continued business expansion. EBITDA also registered robust growth, increasing 43% YoY to Rs 154.5 crore. The improvement in margins was supported by operating leverage benefits and enhanced cost efficiencies across operations.
The aerospace division continued to be the company’s primary growth engine during FY26, contributing significantly to overall business momentum and revenue expansion.

Key highlights include:

The aerospace segment continued to witness strong momentum during FY26, with revenue rising 27% year-on-year to Rs 1,046.4 crore. The company also strengthened its long-term business visibility, with the aerospace order book expanding to USD 889 million.

During the fourth quarter alone, Aequs added 433 new aerospace parts, taking its total aerospace portfolio to 5,654 SKUs. Overall, the aerospace SKU portfolio recorded a healthy 26% year-on-year expansion, reflecting growing scale and deeper engagement with global aerospace programs.

Meanwhile, the consumer business continued its rapid scale-up, delivering 84% revenue growth during the year.

Capacity utilisation improved across key business segments during FY26, with the consumer segment operating at 23% utilisation, while the aerospace segment reached 62% overall utilisation, including 70% utilisation in India operations.

To further strengthen its manufacturing presence, Aequs Limited announced major expansion plans through strategic investment commitments. The company signed a Rs 1,900 crore MoU with Tamil Nadu to develop an integrated aerospace ecosystem and a Rs 2,856 crore MoU with Karnataka for capacity expansion across multiple business segments.

Management Commentary

Aravind Melligeri, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, described FY26 as a “landmark year” for the company, driven by strong execution, business expansion, and its IPO.

He highlighted that the aerospace business continued to gain traction with a strong order book, while the consumer segment entered full-scale production and revenue recognition phase.

According to management, Aequs is now focused on expanding manufacturing capabilities, deepening OEM partnerships, and moving toward higher-margin aerospace programs.

Stock Performance & Technical View

Despite Wednesday’s correction, Aequs shares have rallied nearly 49% over the last three months, reflecting strong investor interest in the company’s aerospace growth story.

The company currently commands a market capitalisation of around Rs 14,500 crore, while its 52-week high stands at Rs 223.85.

On the technical front, the stock’s 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 61.8, indicating positive momentum. An RSI below 30 is generally considered oversold, while a reading above 70 signals overbought conditions.

New research has been commissioned by Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit

Net zero-related industries contribute £4bn of GVA (gross value added) to the Welsh economy and support over 41,300 jobs, shows new research.

The report, commissioned by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) with analysis provided by the independent consultancy CBI Economics and the Data City, found that more than 1,300 businesses- mostly (87%) small or medium-sized – are now part of the Welsh net zero economy. Around a sixth (15%) of those have started up in just the past five years.

Workers in the net zero economy are highly productive generating £117,500 of value on average, around 1.7 times the Welsh average. This helps support higher wages with workers earning £39,812 on average, approximately 11% above the Welsh industry average (£35,796).

The GVA contribution of net zero represents 4.3% of Wales’s total economic output and 3.1% of employment.

The analysis also found that Wales has a potential £13.1bn renewable energy generation infrastructure pipeline, representing 10.9 gigawatt of capacity, but not all of it as yet is guaranteed to be built.

Wrexham records the highest share of local economic activity (GVA) supported by net zero at 7%, supporting more than 2,340 jobs. The area has a concentration of net zero businesses that is around eleven times higher than the UK average. This is followed by other net zero economic ‘hotspots’: Pembrokeshire (5.3% area GVA, 1,600 jobs), Rhondda Cynon Taf (5.2% area GVA, 2,890 jobs) and Newport (5.1% area GVA, 2,620 jobs).

The jobs are distributed across energy generation, manufacturing, construction, engineering and professional services, from solar panel installers to electric vehicle charging companies. Around 160 firms are involved in electric heat pumps and other renewable heating sources.

Russell Greenslade, CBI Wales director, said: “With our unique natural assets, strength in advanced manufacturing and well-established supply chains, we’ve long known that the net zero economy presents a major commercial opportunity for Wales.

“This new report underlines just how central the net zero economy is to our future prosperity. From onshore and offshore wind to carbon capture and emerging clean technologies, Wales can be at the forefront of the UK’s energy transition, with high-value, highly productive jobs created in every part of the country.

“The UK and Welsh governments must now work in partnership with business to seize that opportunity. That means creating a stable, competitive business environment and investing in the skills that will enable Welsh workers to thrive in the energy transition.”

Peter Chalkley, director of the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, said: “Reaching net zero emissions is scientifically the only way to bring balance back to the climate and stop climate change, but it’s also now a major component of the Welsh economy. With countries and states covering 84% of the global economy committed to net zero, Wales is very much part of a global race to build competitive, clean industries.

“This means there is real jeopardy for jobs and livelihoods if politics and policy shift and Wales starts to fall behind – standing still is unfortunately a recipe for decline. The hard work of the staff of hundreds of small businesses are driving the Welsh net zero economy forwards, installing heat pumps and solar panels, developing smart software for charging EVs and producing green hydrogen.”

“These workers are helping to make Wales more energy independent given net zero emissions essentially means burning less oil and gas. But Wales has slipped behind England and Scotland in its construction of renewable energy set against the backdrop of the US Iran conflict and the second oil and gas price crisis in just a matter of years.”

A Labour source said “When it comes to our energy infrastructure, Plaid claim to be pro green energy but have shown themselves to be a party of blockers. Now they are in government, obfuscating won’t do. Their position on undergrounding (transmission lines) doesn’t match the reality needed to help realise Wales’ potential as a leader in clean energy.

“The UK Government has already invested heavily in boosting these sectors in Wales, supporting jobs and helping to lower bills in the process. Plaid shouldn’t put that progress in danger.”

NEW YORK — The New York Times’ Wordle puzzle for Wednesday delivered “STUFF” as the solution for game No. 1,803, offering millions of players a moderately challenging test built around common letters and a repeated consonant.

The five-letter noun, which can refer to material, personal belongings or miscellaneous items, fits neatly into the game’s emphasis on everyday vocabulary. Official testers averaged about 4.4 guesses to crack it, according to the New York Times review.

Wordle remains a global staple years after its creation by Josh Wardle and its 2022 acquisition by the New York Times. The simple rules — six attempts to identify a hidden five-letter word with color-coded feedback — continue to draw dedicated fans who tackle the same puzzle each day regardless of location.

For many in Seoul and across Asia, the puzzle drops during evening hours, creating a shared moment with players in the Americas and Europe. Green tiles indicate correct letters in the right spot, yellow shows correct letters in the wrong position, and gray marks absent letters.

“STUFF” featured a double “F” at the end, a pattern that tripped up some solvers who overlooked repeated letters. Many started with strong openers such as “SLATE,” “CRANE” or “RAISE,” which efficiently tested common vowels and consonants. The word’s balanced mix of frequent letters kept it accessible without being overly obvious.

Social media filled with shared grids as the day unfolded. Some celebrated extended streaks, while others noted the puzzle as a fair midweek test that rewarded logical deduction over obscure knowledge.

The game’s lasting appeal lies in its balance of simplicity and strategy. No downloads are required for core play, though subscribers gain access to tools like the Wordle Bot for performance analysis.

Wordle’s Continued Cultural Footprint

Since bursting onto the scene in late 2021, Wordle has influenced a wave of digital word games. Its minimalist interface and daily rhythm turned it into a ritual for individuals, families and office groups.

The New York Times has integrated it into a broader puzzle ecosystem that includes Connections, Spelling Bee and others. Puzzle No. 1,803 continues the unbroken daily sequence that fosters a sense of global community.

“STUFF” aligns with the publication’s careful curation process. Editors select words that avoid offensive content while maintaining variety in difficulty. The solution’s definition, per Webster’s New World College Dictionary, covers “the material or substance out of which anything is or can be made; raw material,” along with more casual uses for things or belongings.

Players who struggled often missed the repeated “F” or tested incorrect vowel placements early. Online hints encouraged focusing on common endings and versatile nouns.

Effective Strategies Shared by Veterans

Experienced players stress the value of opening guesses rich in vowels and high-frequency consonants. This approach gathers maximum information quickly. Popular choices include “STARE,” “AUDIO” and “SLATE.”

Subsequent guesses build on feedback, eliminating impossible letters and testing new placements. Many track personal metrics — win rate, average guesses and streak length — to measure improvement over time.

Community discussions on forums and social platforms dissect patterns, though randomization helps preserve freshness. The game’s design prevents overly rare words while occasionally introducing subtle tricks like double letters.

Educational observers highlight benefits for vocabulary, pattern recognition and deductive reasoning. The puzzle’s low-pressure format makes it suitable for all ages and skill levels.

Broader Context in Puzzle Gaming

Wordle’s success has inspired variants such as Dordle and Quordle, which multiply the challenge with simultaneous puzzles. The original’s single daily solution, however, preserves its unique communal aspect.

As puzzle No. 1,803 concludes, attention turns to future editions. The New York Times refreshes the game at midnight Eastern Time, ensuring consistency worldwide.

For players seeking more engagement, companion activities like the Mini Crossword provide additional daily mental exercise. Families and colleagues often compare results, turning individual solves into social exchanges.

The phenomenon demonstrates the enduring power of simple, well-designed games in the digital era. What started as a personal project evolved into a cultural touchstone that offers brief, satisfying accomplishment amid daily routines.

“STUFF” tested adaptability and attention to detail without alienating casual participants. Whether it sustained a streak or prompted a reset, the puzzle reinforced Wordle’s core strength: delivering consistent, shareable enjoyment.

Millions will return Thursday for the next challenge, continuing a tradition that bridges time zones and backgrounds through the universal appeal of language and logic.

NEW YORK — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 32 points, Alex Caruso led another strong bench effort with 22 and the Oklahoma City Thunder moved one win away from a return trip to the NBA Finals by beating the San Antonio Spurs 127-114 on Tuesday night.

Jared McCain, starting in place of injured teammates Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell, added 20 points in his first playoff start for the defending NBA champion Thunder, who lead the Western Conference finals 3-2. Chet Holmgren contributed 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Isaiah Hartenstein posted 12 points and 15 rebounds.

The Thunder, limited to 82 points in a Game 4 loss two days earlier, reached 82 points by early in the third quarter on Tuesday. Oklahoma City erupted for 40 points in the second quarter to seize control and maintained the advantage throughout.

“We obviously played a lot better, in terms of our process and then also the outcome,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. “It’s a playoff series. If you look at any playoff series that goes to six games, at least, there’s going to be some tough games. We had a tough game the other night. This team does a great job of just coming back in the next day in a very neutral way, taking whatever the lessons are, applying them forward and getting into the next opportunity.”

Stephon Castle led the Spurs with 24 points. Julian Champagnie added 22, and Victor Wembanyama scored 20 but struggled with 4-of-15 shooting. Keldon Johnson contributed 15 off the bench. San Antonio missed 29 of 41 three-point attempts.

“It just felt like it was a little bit of everything in terms of we did not put ourselves in position enough to be successful on each possession,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “And so, to beat a team of this caliber, in their building, with the stakes, we’ll need to be a lot better to give yourself a chance.”

Game 6 is scheduled for Thursday in San Antonio. A potential Game 7 would return to Oklahoma City on Saturday. The winner will face the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals, with Game 1 set for June 3.

The victory marked a sharp turnaround for the Thunder after their Game 4 defeat in San Antonio. Oklahoma City showcased the balanced attack that carried them through the regular season and earlier playoff rounds. Gilgeous-Alexander, efficient from the line and assertive in the paint, anchored the offense while the supporting cast delivered.

“We just played to who we were tonight,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “We definitely got better from the last game.”

Fast Start and Second-Quarter Surge

Oklahoma City set a strong tone early. The Thunder built momentum through interior scoring and transition opportunities. By the end of the first quarter, they had established a lead that expanded dramatically in the second.

The period featured an unusual parade to the free-throw line. It took nearly 10 minutes for the first fouls to be called, but once whistles sounded, both teams converted frequently. The teams combined for 29 free throws in the second quarter alone, the most in any second quarter of an NBA game since the bubble playoffs nearly six years ago. Oklahoma City went 14 for 14 from the line in the quarter, while San Antonio was 15 for 17.

This offensive efficiency allowed the Thunder to pull away. Their 40-point second quarter created breathing room that proved decisive. Holmgren and Hartenstein controlled the glass, limiting second-chance opportunities for the Spurs.

San Antonio showed resilience in the third quarter, closing the gap to eight points at one stage. However, late-quarter officiating controversies frustrated the visitors. A potential goaltending violation on a tip-in attempt by Luke Kornet with 56 seconds remaining was not called after Cason Wallace deflected the ball. On the next possession, an out-of-bounds ruling favored Oklahoma City despite replays suggesting the ball went off Holmgren. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson’s attempt to challenge was denied, leading to a technical foul.

“They just said they didn’t see me,” Johnson said.

Oklahoma City carried a 101-91 lead into the fourth. The Thunder maintained a double-digit advantage for nearly the entire final period, a stark contrast to their 21-point loss in Game 4.

Player Performances and Adjustments

Gilgeous-Alexander’s 32 points came on efficient shooting, supported by nine assists. His ability to draw fouls and finish at the rim proved crucial against San Antonio’s length. Caruso’s bench scoring provided vital energy, while McCain capitalized on his starting opportunity with confident playmaking and scoring.

For the Spurs, Wembanyama’s limited output highlighted Oklahoma City’s defensive focus on the young star. Castle’s 24 points offered a bright spot, but the team’s poor three-point shooting undermined their comeback efforts.

The Thunder’s defensive rotations and rebounding edge proved superior. Holmgren’s presence altered shots, and the team’s collective effort reflected the lessons learned from Sunday’s setback.

Series Context and Path Forward

The Western Conference finals have been competitive, with each team claiming home wins and trading momentum. Oklahoma City’s depth and home-court advantage have been evident in their victories. San Antonio has shown fight, particularly through Wembanyama’s versatility, but faces an uphill battle heading into Game 6.

The Spurs will need improved perimeter shooting and better execution in half-court sets to extend the series. For the Thunder, sustaining defensive intensity and balanced scoring will be keys to closing out the matchup.

This series represents a clash between established championship pedigree and emerging youth. Oklahoma City, as defending champions, seek a return to the Finals. San Antonio, led by Wembanyama, aims to continue its rapid ascent.

Broader NBA Playoff Picture

With the Western Conference finals nearing a conclusion, attention turns to the Eastern Conference champion New York Knicks. The Finals matchup promises high-level basketball regardless of which Western team advances.

Oklahoma City’s roster construction, blending star talent with role players, has been a model of modern NBA success. Their ability to bounce back from poor performances underscores championship resilience.

Fans in Oklahoma City celebrated the Game 5 result, sensing a potential series-clinching opportunity on the road. San Antonio supporters remain hopeful for a home resurgence in Game 6.

As the series shifts back to Texas, both teams will review film and make tactical adjustments. The Thunder hold the momentum, but playoff basketball often rewards the team that responds best to adversity.

The physicality and strategic depth on display highlight why these contests captivate audiences. Free-throw disparities, rebounding battles and star performances continue to shape outcomes in this high-stakes environment.

Oklahoma City now stands one victory from advancing, but recognizes the challenge of closing out a motivated Spurs squad. San Antonio must elevate its performance to force a Game 7 and keep its season alive.

TUCSON, Ariz. — The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC “Today” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, has taken another unusual turn with reports of unexplained arrangements of rocks and cacti appearing near her Catalina Foothills neighborhood, drawing renewed online speculation nearly four months after she vanished.

Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on Feb. 1, 2026, after she failed to appear for a scheduled online church service. Authorities believe she was abducted from her home in the Tucson suburb during the night of Jan. 31 or early morning hours of Feb. 1. The case, which has captivated national attention due to her daughter’s prominence, remains active with involvement from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI.

Recent livestream footage and resident reports describe sudden placements of rocks and native desert plants across from the Guthrie property in an easement area. Some online observers and amateur sleuths have suggested the arrangements could represent intentional signals or warnings tied to the investigation, though law enforcement has not linked them to the case.

Local residents have indicated the displays may instead represent efforts to deter ongoing crowds of livestreamers, amateur investigators and curiosity seekers who have frequented the quiet neighborhood since the disappearance. The area has seen no-parking zones implemented to manage traffic and disruptions from media and online content creators.

Details of the Disappearance

Guthrie was last seen after joining family for dinner and game night on Jan. 31. Her son-in-law drove her home around 9:50 p.m. Surveillance footage later showed a masked individual tampering with the doorbell camera before the disappearance. Signs of forced entry, blood evidence believed to be hers and missing security equipment were found at the residence.

The FBI released images of the masked figure, who appeared to carry a backpack. Investigators have described the case as an abduction. A $50,000 reward has been offered, with the family reportedly increasing incentives for information leading to her recovery.

Savannah Guthrie temporarily stepped away from her broadcasting duties earlier this year to focus on the search and family matters. She has made public appeals for information and later returned to the “Today” show.

Ongoing Investigation and Challenges

As the case passed the 100-day mark, Pima County officials reaffirmed their commitment. “The Pima County Sheriff’s Department remains fully committed to the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance,” a statement said. The probe has generated thousands of tips, with searches extending into surrounding desert areas.

Recent finds, including a pajama top discovered during volunteer searches north of the home, have been collected for analysis, though no confirmed connection has been established. An earlier human bone found nearby proved to be ancient and unrelated.

The neighborhood has faced strain from sustained public interest. Ring camera footage from nearby properties captured a masked individual stealing potted cacti, adding to the surreal atmosphere surrounding the case.

Authorities continue to urge the public to avoid interfering with the investigation or spreading unverified information. No arrests have been made, and Guthrie’s whereabouts remain unknown. She was last seen without her phone or critical medications.

Family and Public Response

The Guthrie family has renewed appeals for help. Savannah Guthrie has spoken about details that “don’t add up,” including a propped-open door and other anomalies at the home. The high-profile nature of the case has drawn international coverage and volunteer search efforts across the Tucson region.

Community members have organized searches in the Catalina Foothills and beyond, looking for clues in rugged desert terrain. Some reports mention unverified ransom notes received by media outlets, including claims of sightings in Mexico, but officials have not confirmed their validity.

The case has highlighted issues around amateur investigations and social media speculation. Neighborhood groups have complained about disruptive behavior, leading to temporary restrictions on parking and gatherings near the property.

Broader Context

Nancy Guthrie, a longtime Tucson resident, was known in her community for posts on neighborhood apps about local wildlife and plants. Her love of the desert environment contrasts with the mystery that has unfolded in the Catalina Foothills, an area characterized by saguaro cacti and rocky landscapes.

The investigation continues to examine surveillance from multiple sources and tips from across the country. Federal authorities have coordinated with local agencies, emphasizing that the case has not gone cold despite the passage of time.

As public fascination persists, the unexplained elements near the home have only added layers to an already complex investigation. Officials stress the importance of verified leads over speculation.

The family maintains hope for Nancy Guthrie’s safe return. Savannah Guthrie has expressed gratitude for public support while asking for privacy amid the ongoing search. With no resolution in sight, the case stands as one of the most closely followed missing person investigations in recent years, blending elements of high-profile media attention with the challenges of desert terrain and prolonged uncertainty.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos and FBI officials have periodically updated the public, noting continued analysis of evidence and incoming tips. The presence of rocks and cacti arrangements, whether coincidental or deliberate, underscores how even minor developments can reignite interest in a case that has gripped the nation since February.

Investigators encourage anyone with information to contact authorities directly. The search for Nancy Guthrie enters its fourth month with determination from law enforcement and the family to uncover what happened on that January night.
