Abbott agrees to settlement over closure of largest baby formula plant in the US

Abbott Laboratories will pay $385 million to resolve claims tied to an investigation of contamination at a baby formula factory in Sturgis, Michigan, the largest in the country, which led to the supply shortages in 2022. Problems at the facility prompted a lawsuit by the Justice Department and recall of powdered infant formula at the facility. The recall covered several infant formula brands, including Similac, and squeezed inventory that had already been strained by supply chain disruptions and stockpiling during COVID-19 shutdowns.

How Dollar Tree (Accidentally) Killed Family Dollar

Dollar Tree spent $8.5 billion to acquire Family Dollar — and then sold it off for $1 billion just a decade later. Fortune called it an "albatross." CNN called it "disastrous." But here's the twist: Dollar Tree's stock climbed 64% in 2025, with sales topping $19 billion.*Decode six of the boldest bets in business right now:* https://clickhubspot.com/8vxnThe two chains looked like natural partners — both dollar stores, both targeting budget shoppers. But underneath, they were built for completely different customers: Dollar Tree was a suburban treasure hunt for deals and novelty items; Family Dollar was an urban lifeline selling milk, eggs, and bread. Their warehouses were incompatible. Three years after the deal closed, they still had separate HQs, separate store operations teams, and separate tech systems.And yet somehow, the chaos of that failed merger is exactly what forced Dollar Tree to solve a problem that had been quietly threatening to kill it. This is the story of one of the strangest acquisitions in retail history — and what Dollar Tree quietly walked away with.0:00 Dollar-store turf war setup1:07 Meet the three “dollar” chains (who sells what, where)3:16 The 2015 bidding war: Why Dollar Tree beat Dollar General4:49 Incompatible supply chains and the rat-infested warehouse7:03 How debt, neglect, and understaffing broke Family Dollar stores8:40 The fatal flaw of the $1 promise: inflation and vendor squeeze9:23 Combo Stores: Using Family Dollar as Dollar Tree’s R&D lab10:24 The multi-price rollout and $1.25 era11:56 Private equity steps in: the leveraged buyout of Family Dollar13:31 Who pays the price: store closures, communities, and Dollar Tree’s takeawayGet the 5-minute newsletter keeping 2M+ innovators in the loop: https://thehustle.co/join-free-2

Can Apple Stock's Premium Survive The Memory Squeeze On Its Margin?

Apple (AAPL) is selling iPhones and Macs faster than it can build them, but the number a holder should fear most is the gross margin underneath those sales. Leaving out tariff refunds, that margin fell in the June quarter and is guided lower again for the September quarter. Management puts both steps down to rising memory prices, while the stock's price-to-earnings multiple sits near the top of its 10-year range.

Wall Street vs. Short Sellers: 2 ‘Strong Buy’ Stocks That Could Squeeze

Stock investing is all about balancing risk and reward, and nowhere is that more true than in short selling. Essentially, a short seller is betting that a stock will drop in price in the near-term; he sells ‘borrowed’ shares, hoping to close his position by buying them back, to return, at a lower price than he sold – and making a profit on the difference. The conventional wisdom on short selling is that it’s an indication of clear weakness in a stock. After all, large-scale short-selling is a li

Dover (DOV) Stock Could Be A Bargain After Its 55% Run
