( ) shares have enjoyed a year of strong outperformance. Shares the (ASX: XJO) retailer – whose subsidiaries include household names like Bunnings Warehouse, Kmart Australia, Officeworks and Priceline – closed yesterday trading for $73.26. That sees the stock up just under 39% over 12 months. That's more than twice the 18% returns delivered by the ASX 200 over this same period. And this strong performance doesn't include the two fully franked Wesfarmers shares delivered over the full year, which totalled $1.98 a share. If we add those back in, then we'll see the stock's accumulated value has rocketed just under 43% since this time last year. But with earnings growing slower than the company's share price, the has climbed to around 32 times. And with current cost of living pressures showing few signs of rapidly abating, this raises a for PAC Partners' James Nicolaou (courtesy of The Bull). "This diversified industrial conglomerate generated revenue of $44.189 billion in fiscal year 2024, up 1.5% on the prior corresponding period," said Nicolaou, who has a sell recommendation on Wesfarmers shares. Explaining his bearishness, Nicolaou added: Moving forward we believe the company faces challenges in an economy of high interest rates, inflationary pressures and soaring cost of living expenses. Consequently, we believe the company is exposed to significant downside risk. As for the valuation following the big share price gains of the past year, he said, "The company's price/earnings ratio and earnings per share valuation were recently above the historical average." Indeed, the ASX 200 retail stock gained 8% in just 17 trading days last month. "Wesfarmers shares have risen from $66.64 on November 5 to trade at $72 on November 28," Nicolaou said. "It may be prudent to consider taking some profits." Wesfarmers shares were in the spotlight when the company reported its full fiscal year 2024 on 29 August. Atop the revenue bump Nicolaou mentioned, earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) were up 3.3% from FY 2023 to $3.9 billion. And net profit increased by 3.7% to $2.56 billion. Income investors were treated to a sweetened dividend of $1.07 a share, fully franked. Eligible shareholders will have received that payout on 9 October. With a nod to the challenging conditions facing the retail conglomerate, Wesfarmers managing director Rob Scott said at the time: We expected a challenging year and there were numerous headwinds to navigate with cost of living pressures, rising costs of doing business, subdued activity in residential construction and significant volatility in key commodities. Wesfarmers shares dropped 4.1% on the day the company reported.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — John Elway says any remorse over bypassing Josh Allen in the 2018 NFL draft is quickly dissipating with rookie Bo Nix's rapid rise, suggesting the Denver Broncos have finally found their next franchise quarterback. Elway said Nix, the sixth passer selected in April's draft, is an ideal fit in Denver with coach Sean Payton navigating his transition to the pros and Vance Joseph's defense serving as a pressure release valve for the former Oregon QB. "We've seen the progression of Bo in continuing to get better and better each week and Sean giving him more each week and trusting him more and more to where last week we saw his best game of the year," Elway said in a nod to Nix's first game with 300 yards and four touchdown throws in a rout of Atlanta. For that performance, Nix earned his second straight NFL Rookie of the Week honor along with the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award. "I think the sky's the limit," Elway said, "and that's just going to continue to get better and better." In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, Elway also touted former coach Mike Shanahan's Hall of Fame credentials, spoke about the future of University of Colorado star and Heisman favorite Travis Hunter and discussed his ongoing bout with a chronic hand condition. Elway spent the last half of his decade as the Broncos' GM in a futile search for a worthy successor to Peyton Manning, a pursuit that continued as he transitioned into a two-year consultant role that ended after the 2022 season. "You have all these young quarterbacks and you look at the ones that make it and the ones that don't and it's so important to have the right system and a coach that really knows how to tutelage quarterbacks, and Sean's really good at that," Elway said. "I think the combination of Bo's maturity, having started 61 games in college, his athletic ability and his knowledge of the game has been such a tremendous help for him,'" Elway added. "But also Vance Joseph's done a heck of a job on the defensive side to where all that pressure's not being put on Bo and the offense to score all the time." Payton and his staff have methodically expanded Nix's repertoire and incorporated his speed into their blueprints. Elway lauded them for "what they're doing offensively and how they're breaking Bo into the NFL because it's a huge jump and I think patience is something that goes a long way in the NFL when it comes down to quarterbacks." Elway said he hopes to sit down with Nix at some point when things slow down for the rookie. Nix, whose six wins are one more than Elway had as a rookie, said he looks forward to meeting the man who won two Super Bowls during his Hall of Fame playing career and another from the front office. "He's a legend not only here for this organization, but for the entire NFL," Nix said, adding, "most guys, they would love to have a chat with John Elway, just pick his brain. It's just awesome that I'm even in that situation." Orange Crush linebacker Randy Gradishar joined Elway in the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year, something Elway called "way, way overdue." Elway suggested it's also long past time for the Hall to honor Shanahan, who won back-to-back Super Bowls in Denver with Elway at QB and whose footprint you see every weekend in the NFL because of his expansive coaching tree. Elway called University of Colorado stars Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders "both great athletes." He said he really hopes Sanders gets drafted by a team that will bring him along like the Broncos have done with Nix, and he sees Hunter being able to play both ways in the pros — but not full time. Elway said he thinks Hunter will be primarily a corner in the NFL but with significant contributions on offense: "He's great at both. He's got great instincts, and that's what you need at corner." It's been five years since Elway announced he was dealing with Dupuytren's contracture, a chronic condition that typically appears after age 40 and causes one or more fingers to permanently bend toward the palm. Elway's ring fingers on both hands were originally affected and he said now the middle finger on his right hand is starting to pull forward. So, he'll get another injection of a drug called Xiaflex, which is the only FDA-approved non-surgical treatment, one that he's endorsing in an awareness campaign for the chronic condition that affects 17 million Americans. The condition can make it difficult to do everyday tasks such as shaking hands or picking up a coffee mug. Elway said what bothered him most was "I couldn't pick up a football and I could not imagine not being able to put my hand around a football."

Erling Haaland has insisted his Manchester City team-mates are still 'believing' despite their poor form. The Premier League champions are winless in seven matches across all competitions for the first time since 2004. Meanwhile, the Citizens are also on their worst run of league form since 2008. Sunday's defeat at Liverpool was City's fourth in a row, matching a run from April to August 16 years ago. That run spread over two seasons, though, as losses to Fulham, Liverpool and Middlesbrough were followed by an opening weekend defeat to Aston Villa. Fast-forward to this season and the defeat at Anfield added to recent losses to Bournemouth, Brighton and Tottenham. In response to the latest setback, however, Haaland took to social media to provide supporters with a message. The forward wrote on X : "We've seen better days before, and we'll see them again. We keep believing." City slipped to fifth in the table with the defeat in Merseyside and now trail leaders Liverpool by 11 points. They will be hoping to cut the gap at home to Nottingham Forest on Wednesday in their latest chance to snap the winless streak. The home win over Southampton on October 26 remains their last victory, having since been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Spurs. City were also beaten in the Champions League by Sporting before last week's three-goal collapse against Feyenoord meant they had to settle for a draw. As for Haaland, he has three goals across the winless run, but has failed to score in the last two league matches. Despite that, he remains the Premier League's top scorer this term with 12 strikes in 13 appearances. The Norwegian also has an impressive record against Forest ahead of their trip to the Etihad Stadium. In four previous meetings, he has scored five goals, including a hat-trick at home in August 2022. Haaland was on target in both league matches between the sides last season. City, meanwhile, have not lost to Forest in a league meeting since December 1997, a run stretching eight matches.Ancient puppetry drama, a unique genre in Chinese television, used to enjoy a large following and high viewer ratings due to its historical and cultural themes, elaborate costumes, and traditional storytelling techniques.

China’s biggest EV maker, BYD, whose Atto 3 SUV, Shark 6 ute and Seal sedan are available in Australia, has become one of Apple’s top iPad assemblers. While BYD’s main business is making EVs, it is also now believed to assemble more than 30% of Apple’s tablets. The company said it had more than 10,000 engineers and around 100,000 employees dedicated to the “fruit chain,” the local term for Apple’s supply chain, reported the Wall Street Journal. BYD reported third-quarter revenue of about A$43.23 billion (more than beating Tesla’s figure of A$38.6 billion). BYD Electronic, the company’s contract-manufacturing arm, had revenue of about A$9.26 billion in the quarter. Apart from Apple, BYD’s other contract clients include Xiaomi and Huawei. BYD helps assemble Xiaomi phones and also supplies some technology that Xiaomi uses in its cars. Huawei, which makes both phones and EV software, sometimes displays phones and cars side-by-side in its showrooms. BYD said that it also works with Apple’s rival Samsung, supplying hinge-related components for some of Samsung’s foldable phones. In March, Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook met BYD founder and chairman Wang Chuanfu at Apple’s office, where Wang and his staff showed Cook a miniature model of the iPad production system. Cook noted on Chinese social media that BYD was among the Apple suppliers “pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.” Apple’s 2024 iPad Mini. Apple has moved some of its iPhone production to countries such as India and Vietnam in an effort to shift its manufacturing dependence on China. Partnering with BYD allows Apple to diversify its suppliers away from Taiwanese assembler Foxconn that makes most of its iPhones and iPads. At the moment, BYD isn’t in the running to assemble completed iPhones, but is believed to be taking a bigger role in iPhone components such as the titanium frame. BYD is also helping Apple expand beyond China. It has helped Apple in countries such as Vietnam. BYD already makes smartphones in India for brands such as Xiaomi, and could help Apple expand there if asked by the Cupertino-based company, said Ivan Lam, an analyst with Counterpoint Research. The Chinese company has indicated that its next big thing would be developing AI-powered robots together with Nvidia for factories.In conclusion, Xiang Zuo's new hairstyle not only enhanced his appearance but also brought a renewed sense of excitement and happiness to the "Double Chefs."
