What stands out

Ryan Cohen saying he's 'coming for eBay' landed on Bloomberg's Rundown this week, and it matters because activist pressure can force quick strategic changes at a company that hasn't been firing on all cylinders. Investors should watch whether Cohen's interest triggers cost cuts, asset sales, or a board skirmish, all of which can move shareholder returns faster than fundamentals. At the same time the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) signaling it will regulate the space economy is a reminder that once-distant industries can become regulatory front pages, and that regulatory risk often arrives slowly but with force.
