  A brief review is given of recent developments related to the Higgs signal
and its implications for supersymmetry in the supergravity grand unification
framework. The Higgs data indicates that the allowed parameter space largely
lies on focal curves and focal surfaces of the Hyperbolic Branch of radiative
breaking of the electroweak symmetry where TeV size scalars naturally arise.
The high mass of the Higgs leads to a more precise prediction for the allowed
range of the spin independent neutralino -proton cross section which is
encouraging for the detection of dark matter in future experiments with greater
sensitivity. Also discussed is the status of grand unification and a natural
solution to breaking the GUT group at one scale and resolving the
doublet-triplet problem. It is shown that the cosmic coincidence can be
compatible within a supersymmetric framework in a muticomponent dark matter
picture with one component charged under $B-L$ while the other component is the
conventional supersymmetric dark matter candidate, the neutralino.
