“Notify me when my holdings print material news — skip the copycat coverage.”
“Who reported it first, and who copied it?”
“Show me the tape as it looked at 14:00 last Tuesday.”
03 / Developments & Events
A development is a structured record of one market fact: what happened, importance and surprise scores, which public companies it touches with signed impact, and the sources that back it. Events group developments into storylines you can follow for months.

Arcadis confirms sweetened €51.50 per share unsolicited takeover bid from WSP Global
Arcadis confirmed a revised, unsolicited takeover proposal from WSP Global at €51.50 per share in cash and stock — up from the €48.50 offer its board unanimously rejected. The board is reviewing the new proposal with financial and legal advisors.
Arcadis N.V.. Target of the revised bid; the sweetened offer sets a higher valuation floor and strengthens the board's negotiating position.
“WSP Global has offered €51.50 per share in a combination of cash and WSP stock. This follows a previous unsolicited offer of €48.50 per share”

According to UBS estimates, hyperscalers' capex will rise 76% this year to $673 billion, but will increase by only 25% next year and just 6% in 2028. Though these entities have initially funded the AI buildout through their own cash, hyperscalers are now turning to external financing which raises huge questions on capital-market pressures and spending growth.
The four major hyperscalers raised their AI capital expenditure budget to $750 billion for 2026. This figure is set to cross $1 trillion next year and is likely to rise further beyond 2027. The major reason for the hike is due to expectations of higher AI infrastructure component prices and incremental costs for expanding data center capacity in the near future.
We'll be watching for the CapEx guidance going forward. And we've already seen very sharp upgrades to what their 2026 projections could last. These hyperscalers essentially are spending defensively to maintain their position… I actually think analysts may be underestimating what CapEx could be next year.
