Stock futures are slightly lower this morning after closing out a strong second quarter with another day of solid gains; new Fed chair Kevin Warsh is scheduled to speak at a banking policy conference in Portugal; Anthropic said it has reached an agreement with the Trump administration to relaunch access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models after shutting them down last month; Nike shares are falling to a new 12-year low after warning that sales are still struggling; and shares of Shutterstock are plunging after a planned merger with Getty was called off. Here's what you need to know today.

Stock Futures Slip to Kick Off Q3 Trading Stock futures are pointing to a lower open as July trading gets underway, after major indexes posted their biggest quarterly gains in years. Futures tied to the benchmark S&P 500 were down 0.2% recently, while futures linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively. The major indexes surged on Tuesday for the second straight day, with the Dow closing at a record high, to cap off a strong second quarter for stocks. The S&P 500 gained 15% in the quarter, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 21%, their best performances since 2020. WTI crude oil futures were down about 1% at $69 per barrel as investors continue tracking the state of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, while gold futures were little-changed at $4,040 an ounce. Bitcoin was trading at $58,500, after falling as low as $57,700 this morning to its lowest point since September 2024. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.50% from 4.47% at yesterday's close.

New Fed Chair Warsh Scheduled to Speak Today Investors will be keeping close tabs this morning on Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's comments during a panel discussion at an annual policy forum hosted by the European Central Bank. Warsh is scheduled to appear at 9 a.m. ET alongside governors from the central banks of England and Canada, along with the president of the ECB.1 Last month, in his first press conference since taking the helm at the central bank, Warsh emphasized the Fed's commitment to taming inflation, which reinforced market expectations that higher interest rates could be on the horizon. Warsh has ambitious plans to reshape the Fed and has indicated there will be less communication from the Fed about where interest rates could be headed.

Anthropic Relaunches New AI Models After U.S. Lifts Export Controls Anthropic announced late Tuesday that it has reached an agreement with the U.S. government to lift export restrictions on two of the AI firm's newest models for its Claude chatbot. The models in question, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, were cut off just days after being released last month after Amazon (AMZN) notified the Trump administration of a vulnerability that allowed the Fable model to be prompted to ignore some of its safeguards. Anthropic was told to halt access to any "foreign national," so the company shut the models down while assessing the report. Anthropic said Tuesday that going forward it will share new models with government partners before releasing them to the public, and expand their efforts to share information and research with the government.2 Anthropic last month filed confidentially with the SEC to go public, in what is expected to be among the biggest IPOs ever.

Nike Stock Falls As Execs Warn of Continued Sales Headwinds Nike (NKE) shares are down this morning after executives warned sales could “remain challenged” in the near term. The company has been working to turn around its business and return to consistent sales growth, particularly in China, where sales slumped 12% in Nike's fiscal fourth quarter. The athletic apparel giant posted earnings per share of $0.72 on a 1% year-over-year decline in revenue to $10.97 billion.3 Analysts had forecast EPS of $0.13 on $10.85 billion in revenue, but Nike said its earnings got a $0.52 per share boost from its expected tariff refund from the Trump administration. Nike shares were down 2% to around $40 recently, trading at levels not seen since September 2014.

Shutterstock Shares Plunge After Getty Merger Plan Called Off Shutterstock (SSTK) shares are tumbling this morning after a planned merger with Getty Images (GETY) was called off. In a Tuesday regulatory filing, Getty said that the U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority determined that the new Getty would be required to sell off Shutterstock's editorial business to get its approval.4 Getty said its board decided not to sell the division and will officially abandon the deal when a deadline comes up next week. Shutterstock shares plunged 33% to their lowest level since their 2012 debut. Getty shares were down slightly.

The Great Finance Reset provides data-driven visual guidance to help Finance brands reveal where more relevant, contemporary imagery can strengthen trust, engagement, and ROI June 30, 2026 09:00 ET  | Source: Getty Images, Inc.

NEW YORK, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Getty Images (NYSE: GETY), a preeminent global visual content creator and marketplace, today released its latest report – The Great Finance Reset - from its VisualGPS global insights platform. The findings identify where Finance brands can strengthen their content and increase return on investment with their visual strategies.

In a category where trust is a fundamental currency, Finance brands are uniquely positioned to strengthen marketing performance by closing the gap between current imagery and how consumers actually live, earn, and aspire. For decades, the industry relied on a familiar visual vocabulary: handshakes across boardroom tables, suited advisors in polished office settings, and aspirational symbols of material wealth. The industry’s visual communication has an opportunity to align with how people actually live, earn, and manage money today – increasing credibility and engagement.

The report’s proprietary data and consumer research reveal clear areas where targeted changes can improve trust, engagement, and marketing efficiency.

Key insights from the report include:

Reflect the many paths to wealth: By 2030, over $1.9 trillion of wealth will be passed down to a younger, more diverse generation, including more women, people of color, and LGBTQIA+ people. According to the report, 3 in 4 visuals currently used by Finance brands depict white-collar work, with only 7% featuring blue-collar or service occupations that primarily picture people alone. The broader definition of wealth is also shifting with American consumers, with 70% defining wealth through experiences rather than possessions. Brands that reflect this shift are better positioned to build lasting relevance with the audiences that will define the industry’s next chapter.

Build trust in uncertain times: 2 in 3 Americans believe inflation is making everyday necessities unaffordable.  And the expectation is that the private sector has a role to play in this, with 8 in 10 Americans believing companies have an obligation to help improve society. Finance brands are uniquely positioned to meet that expectation through credible, grounded visual storytelling that reflects the imperfections of life and complexity of lived financial experiences. Reflecting this reality builds stronger brand trust and more effective, credible communications.

Close the content gap: 78% of Americans consider video the most engaging visual format, yet only 11% of Finance brand visuals are video, one of the highest-performing formats available. Similarly, 88% of Americans manage their finances digitally, yet only 9% of technology visuals depict someone actually managing their finances. Brands that are actively working to close these gaps will build stronger engagement and a more efficient marketing engine.

Show aspiration as it is: 75% of consumers want Finance brands to show realistic depictions of everyday life, and 68% prefer finding joy in simple pleasures over major achievements. The established visual codes of luxury no longer reflect how most Americans think about financial success and read as inauthentic and undesirable. Making this shift will allow brands to build deeper emotional connections with audiences whose relationship to wealth looks nothing like previous generations.

Bring AI to life in human terms: Searches by Finance brands “AI” on Getty Images grew 34% year-over-year in 2025, yet only 11% of consumers believe AI related imagery is appropriate in Finance marketing. The opportunity lies in moving beyond the abstract, cool-toned depictions toward human, relatable imagery that shows AI’s real-world impact on the industry, from fraud detection to financial planning. The brands that humanize the real-world impacts of AI on daily life will own the trust advantage that comes with it.

“The world is in the midst of a major reset: chaos is abounding from big swings across our sociocultural, technological, economic, political, and social dimensions of life. What we aspire to as a society looks radically different today in comparison to even a few years ago. And we’re shifting gears into some pretty seismic innovations in AI that looks like it will transform the world as we know it. All these signals will have a profound influence on visual culture, and the Finance sector is uniquely positioned for the major visual change people want to see. That’s why this is the perfect moment to start to rethink strategies for choosing visuals that resonate today and tomorrow - and Getty Images is here to give brands the tools, direction, and data to confidently make that shift,” said Tristen Norman, Head of Creative for the Americas at Getty Images.

Getty Images has unique visibility into what visual content performs, based on how Finance brands select, use, and reuse imagery across channels. Ineffective imagery is not neutral, it reduces trust, limits engagement, and lowers return on marketing investment. The Great Finance Reset gives Finance brands the data and direction to close that gap.

To download the full report, see here.

Methodology:

Getty Images’ VisualGPS methodology combines consumer insight with real-world usage data to understand what visual content performs.

The analysis draws on proprietary search and download behavior across Getty Images and iStock (+ 2.8 billion searches each year), representing how brands actively select, use, and reuse imagery across channels – alongside global research conducted in partnership with world-class global research firm MarketCast.

For this report, the dataset includes over 750,000 images and videos downloaded by US Finance brands over a 3-year period, with over 10,000 search queries analyzed by in-house creative experts, and survey responses from more than 3,200+ US consumers.

This combination of observed behavior and consumer sentiment provides a clear view of where visual strategies align with – or diverge from – how audiences experience finance today.

Multi-year agreement brings Getty Images’ licensed content into OpenAI search and discovery experiences in ChatGPT June 21, 2026 20:00 ET  | Source: Getty Images, Inc.

NEW YORK, June 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Getty Images (NYSE: GETY), a preeminent global visual content creator and marketplace, today announced a display agreement with OpenAI. Under the partnership Getty Images’ licensed content libraries will appear across OpenAI search and discovery experiences within ChatGPT.

The agreement enables the use of Getty Images’ content for display within ChatGPT, enhancing the richness of visual responses.

“High-quality, licensed visual content makes AI-powered search and discovery more useful and more trustworthy. This partnership with OpenAI reflects a shared recognition of that, and together we will deliver richer visual experiences to ChatGPT users,” said Craig Peters, Chief Executive Officer at Getty Images.

Getty Images has entered into a “display agreement” with OpenAI, marking a significant step toward integrating licensed visual content into artificial intelligence-driven search experiences.

In a brief announcement on Sunday, Getty said its licensed image libraries will appear in “OpenAI search and discovery experiences within ChatGPT.”

The agreement is expected to allow ChatGPT to use Getty’s images in generating visual responses.

However, the companies have not clarified whether the AI system will be permitted to modify or alter these images in any way.

Getty also did not disclose the financial terms of the deal.

It remains unclear whether OpenAI will be allowed to use Getty’s image libraries to train its generative AI models.

Several critical details of the partnership remain unresolved.

The announcement did not specify whether all content submitted to Getty Images, including both editorial and stock photography, would fall under the agreement.

It is also unclear whether individual photographers and content contributors will be given the option to opt out of having their work included in the AI-related use cases covered by the deal.

Getty Images CEO Craig Peters said, “High-quality, licensed visual content makes AI-powered search and discovery more useful and more trustworthy. This partnership with OpenAI reflects a shared recognition of that, and together we will deliver richer visual experiences to ChatGPT users.”

The statement highlights Getty’s positioning of licensed content as a foundation for more reliable AI-generated visual outputs, although operational details remain limited.

Market reaction to the announcement was immediate and highly volatile.

Early on Monday, Getty Images shares briefly surged more than 200% before giving up some of those gains later in the session.

The stock ultimately closed at $1.35 per share, marking a 123% increase from Friday’s closing price.

The move comes after a prolonged period of weakness in Getty’s valuation.

The stock had declined about 55% earlier in the year, closing at 61 cents on Friday before the announcement.

The agreement comes against the backdrop of Getty Images’ evolving relationship with artificial intelligence technology, which has included both legal disputes and licensing efforts.

In January 2023, Getty Images announced it was suing Stability AI, the creators of Stable Diffusion, alleging copyright infringement.

At the time, Getty said: “It is Getty Images’ position that Stability AI unlawfully copied and processed millions of images protected by copyright.”

Getty also noted its broader stance on AI, stating it believes the technology has the “potential to stimulate creative endeavors,” while also highlighting that it has provided “licenses to leading technology innovators for purposes related to training artificial intelligence systems.”

The company had previously expressed resistance to generative AI image tools and explored its own AI image generation capabilities.

Concerns over watermark replication in AI-generated outputs were among the issues that contributed to its legal action against Stability AI.

The OpenAI partnership reflects a wider shift in the media and technology landscape, where AI developers are increasingly entering licensing agreements with publishers and content platforms.

OpenAI has been expanding its network of media partnerships as it develops new features across ChatGPT, including tools for visual content generation and advertising-related applications.

Despite the deal, significant uncertainty remains regarding how Getty’s licensed content will be used within AI systems, particularly in relation to training data usage and image manipulation permissions.

Further clarity is expected as implementation details of the agreement are revealed in the coming period.

U.S. stocks traded mixed midway through trading, with the Nasdaq Composite falling more than 300 points on Monday.

The Dow traded up 0.28% to 51,709.06 while the NASDAQ fell 1.31% to 26,170.77. The S&P 500 also fell, dropping, 0.47% to 7,465.38.

This acceleration is in anticipation of needing to be SOX 404(b) compliant assuming the pending merger with Shutterstock is consummated in 2026.

Previously Announced Merger Agreement with Shutterstock
On January 7, 2025, Getty Images announced that it entered into a merger agreement with Shutterstock to combine in a merger of equals transaction, creating a premier visual content company. The proposed transaction was approved by Shutterstock stockholders on June 10, 2025, the DOJ has concluded its review and the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act has expired, without conditions and the Proposed Transaction remains subject to other customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval in the United Kingdom.

Following submission of a briefing paper, on April 22, 2025, the United Kingdom Competition and Markets Authority ("CMA") invited Getty Images to submit a Merger Notice and their review process is ongoing. On October 20, 2025, Getty Images received notice from the CMA of their intent to refer the proposed merger to a Phase 2 review process unless acceptable undertakings to address their competition concerns are offered. On November 3, the CMA announced that despite the offer of a comprehensive package of remedies by Getty Images and Shutterstock, it has referred the merger to a Phase 2 review process.

On February 19, 2026, the CMA issued its interim report as part of its ongoing Phase 2 review, finding that the merger is not expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition in the global stock (creative) content market however the CMA also found that the merger may result in a lessening of competition in the UK editorial market.

On March 11, 2026, the CMA published an Invitation to Comment on Remedies and published a Notice of Extension, extending its reference period by eight weeks to June 14, 2026. On March 12, 2026, Getty Images and Shutterstock responded to the Interim Report.

On April 16, 2026, the CMA issued a provisional decision with respect to the appropriate remedy to address the competition concerns provisionally identified in the Interim Report.

Getty Images and Shutterstock are actively engaged with the CMA ahead of the CMA’s final decision. Based on the merits of the transaction and market realities, Getty Images and Shutterstock remain hopeful that the CMA will reach a conclusion consistent with the DOJ and other regulators around the globe.

Both parties continue to expect the transaction to close in 2026.

For additional information associated with the transaction, please see the Company filings from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In order to assist investors in understanding the core operating results that our management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning, we present the following non-GAAP measures: (1) Adjusted EBITDA, (2) Adjusted EBITDA Margin, (3) Adjusted EBITDA less capex (4) Adjusted EBITDA less capex Margin, (5) Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share and (6) Free cash flow. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes that these measures are relevant and provide useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in our industry to provide a baseline for evaluating and comparing our operating performance, and in the case of free cash flow, our liquidity results. We also evaluate our revenue and other metrics on an as reported (U.S. GAAP) and currency neutral basis. We believe presenting currency neutral information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our comparable results, consistent with how we evaluate our performance internally.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided below.

The Company does not reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, due to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible; and because not all of the information, such as foreign currency impacts necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is available to the Company without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures that it believes will be achieved, however it cannot accurately predict all of the components of the adjusted calculations and the U.S. GAAP measures may be materially different than the non-GAAP measures.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to provide a more meaningful comparison of our core operating results from period to period. These measures exclude the impact of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, foreign exchange gains (losses), net and other non-recurring items.

Getty Images Holdings, Inc. (GETY) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Lorman, Mississippi, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alcorn State University is making a bold move to bring its story as America’s first public land-grant historically Black college and university (HBCU) to a global audience with its new content partnership with Getty Images, a preeminent global visual content creator and marketplace.

Through this collaboration, Alcorn State has significantly increased its ability to tell the story of its origin since the University’s establishment on May 13, 1871 — making it the nation’s first public land-grant HBCU.

“Alcorn State University’s legacy of educational excellence and impact establishes it as a powerful addition to the Getty Images HBCU Program,” said Cassandra Illidge, vice president of partnerships and HBCU Programs at Getty Images. “Together, we are expanding access to vital historical narratives and ensuring that the stories of Mississippi and beyond are preserved, elevated, and accessible for generations to come.”

That history includes generations of alumni who have gone on to make their mark across various industries and fields.

Prominent alumni include Leslie Frazier, assistant head coach and three-time Super Bowl champion; Dr. Jacqueline "Dr. Jackie" Walters, OB-GYN and reality star; Timon Kyle Durrett, actor ; and Donald Driver, former NFL wide receiver.

Alcorn is also the alma mater of civil rights icons Medgar Evers and Myrlie Evers-Williams, and NFL great Steve McNair, among others.

Alcorn’s hallowed grounds have also welcomed some of the most celebrated figures in American history, including boxing legend Muhammad Ali and activist Jesse Jackson.

“Through this collaboration with Getty Images, Alcorn’s visibility will increase significantly, showcasing our history and growth as we approach 155 years as America’s first public land-grant HBCU,” said Dr. Tracy M. Cook, president of Alcorn State University. “The world will now have a front row seat to the traditions and excellence that have defined Alcorn State for generations. This is not just about where we have been; it is about where we are going.”

Through this partnership, Getty Images will manage the post-production costs to restore thousands of images from Alcorn’s Archives, including rarely seen photographs tracing back to the early 20th century, along with video footage from football games in the 1970s. This funding comes from the company’s HBCU Photo Archive Grants Program provided by the Getty Family and Stand Together.  The new archival content is now available for licensing via Getty Images’ global distribution platform.

Getty Images' program partners, Adnet Global, Epson America, Inc. and Denny’s, will support Alcorn with preserving its Archives through proper metadata application, scanning equipment for the digitization process and student stipends for participation in the program.

Alcorn State extends its gratitude to the ASU Foundation, Inc. for their support of this initiative, as well as to University Libraries and Alcorn State Athletics.

“Alcorn State University has a rich legacy and history that deserves to be preserved and shared with the world,” said Maxine Greenleaf, vice president for marketing and communication at Alcorn State University. “As America’s first public land-grant HBCU, Alcorn has stood the test of time, and this partnership ensures that legacy is seen and celebrated for all that it has meant for those who have benefited from its doors being open and for those whose doors it continues to open.”
