What are the allegations?
Shareholders allege that ChampionX Corporation repurchased shares of its stock in violation of securities laws. According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants repurchased 216,000 shares of ChampionX stock – worth millions of dollars – from unsuspecting investors without disclosing material nonpublic information about Schlumberger Limited’s (SLB) offers to purchase ChampionX at a premium to then-current prices. If this information had been disclosed as required, it would have indicated to investors that ChampionX’s stock was worth significantly more than its trading price.
Plaintiff alleges that when investors learned the truth that SLB was willing to buy all the Company's outstanding stock for a significant premium above the trading price, ChampionX's stock price climbed sharply, harming investors who sold during the class period.

SAN DIEGO, July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robbins LLP reminds stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Commvault Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVLT) securities between April 29, 2025 and January 26, 2026. Commvault is a data protection company.
For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003.
What are the allegations?
Shareholders allege that Commvault Systems, Inc. misled investors regarding its annualized recurring revenue growth. According to the complaint, during the class period defendants created the false impression that Commvault’s annualized recurring revenue (ARR) growth would remain steady throughout fiscal year 2026. Plaintiff alleges that Commvault knew or recklessly disregarded that the Company’s ARR growth guidance failed to properly factor in crucial variables.

Investors in Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (VAC - Free Report) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Oct. 16, 2026 $30 Callhad some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
What is Implied Volatility?Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
What do the Analysts Think?Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Marriott Vacations Worldwide shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Marriott Vacations Worldwide is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Leisure and Recreation Services industry that ranks in the Bottom 24% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, two analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while none dropped the estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from $1.95 per share to $1.96 in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about Marriott Vacations Worldwide right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.
Editor’s note: This story has been updated to include a statement from Bloom Energy.
Bloom Energy told Benzinga that the company is aware of the report “published by a media outlet affiliated with an investment firm that has disclosed it may hold positions designed to profit from a decline in Bloom’s stock,” and plans to issue a response.
“We are reviewing the report and will correct the record. Bloom’s fuel cell platform is supported by a diversified, multi-country supply chain built over two decades, long-standing commercial relationships, and proprietary materials-recovery technology, as described in our public filings and our July 7 blog post on scandium oxide,” a Bloom Energy spokesperson said.
Executive Supply Chain Claims ContradictedThe decline follows findings by Hunterbrook challenging statements made by Bloom Energy CEO KR Sridhar regarding the company’s independence from Chinese materials.
Sridhar stated during an April 2025 earnings call, “We are not dependent on China for scandium,” adding, “there is no China supply chain for us.”
However, global trade data, corporate filings, and satellite imagery analyzed by the news outlet indicate that the fuel-cell manufacturer continues to rely on Chinese-sourced scandium, said Hunterbrook.
Hidden Routes And Supplier ConnectionsHunterbrook traced four separate China-linked routes delivering scandium into the manufacturer’s supply chain.
Deliveries involve direct shipments of scandium oxide from Hunan Oriental Scandium to a Delaware plant, as well as intermediaries routing materials through Thailand, Japan, and South Korea.
A sales representative from Hunan Oriental Scandium told reporters, “We are also BE’s largest supplier of scandium,” noting the material is “not exported directly.”
Widening Deficits And Delayed ProjectsHunterbrook’s supply-demand model indicates a looming global deficit for fuel-cell-grade scandium oxide.
The research shows Bloom Energy alone requires roughly 220 tons of scandium oxide to meet the 5 gigawatt production expectations modeled by Wall Street, while the total projected global supply reaches approximately 240 tons.
BE Stock Price Activity: Bloom Energy shares were down 9.89% at $242.91 at the time of publication on Wednesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Key Takeaways Healthcare robotics is expanding into surgery, diagnostics, lab automation and orthopedics. Robotics ETFs are adding more healthcare automation exposure alongside industrial robotics. ETFs like ROBO offer exposure to healthcare automation innovators alongside robotics and AI companies. While electric vehicles and tech giants like Tesla (TSLA - Free Report) and Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) dominate headlines in the robotics space, a powerful transformation has reached an inflection point in healthcare. Over the past decade, robotics in medicine has moved from early adoption to mainstream scale.
This acceleration has been driven by an aging global population, a persistent shortage of skilled surgeons and clinical staff, and the increasing push for minimally invasive procedures that offer faster recovery times and better patient outcomes. What was once dominated by the use of robots in a handful of guided surgeries has now expanded into varied branches ranging from orthopedics and pharmacy automation to artificial intelligence (AI)-driven diagnostics.
For investors looking to capitalize on this clinical migration, the challenge lies in differentiation. While standard healthcare funds offer stable dividends, they often dilute the tech-driven upside of advanced engineering.
Broad robotics exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have historically prioritized factory automation, material handling, and semiconductor equipment suppliers, have expanded their allocation to med-tech innovators like Intuitive Surgical (ISRG - Free Report) in the recent past.
Evaluating the true potential of these robotics ETFs requires a ground-up look at the dominant healthcare stocks leading the charge and the clinical market dynamics driving their bottom lines.
Pioneering Stocks in Healthcare RoboticsSeveral key healthcare stocks demonstrate the broad range of robotics applications across the medical field, a few of which are discussed below.
• Intuitive Surgical: As the pioneer in robotic-assisted surgery, its da Vinci system is a household name, allowing for complex procedures through small incisions. The company continues to show strong performance for this product, with Da Vinci procedures having risen approximately 16% year over year in the first quarter of 2026.
ISRG grew its da Vinci surgical system installed base to 11,395 systems as of March 31, 2026, reflecting an increase of 12%. The new da Vinci 5 platform is driving higher utilization, and its data-rich ecosystem is creating a long-term competitive advantage in AI.
• Illumina (ILMN - Free Report) : While best known for its gene-sequencing technology, Illumina is a prime example of robotics in lab automation. The company developed robotic systems like the Infinium Automated Pipetting System, which automates highly labor-intensive sample preparation workflows, as well as Digital Microfluidics, which is a droplet-based automation technology that moves, merges, and mixes liquid droplets using electrical signals. This minimizes human error and dramatically reduces processing time, which are critical for large-scale genomic studies and clinical diagnostics.
• Stryker (SYK - Free Report) : A major player in medical devices, Stryker is a leader in orthopedic robotics. Its Mako system is used for robotic-arm assisted total knee, partial knee, and total hip replacements, offering surgeons enhanced precision and control. This technology has benefited the company's financial performance.
From surgical precision to laboratory efficiency, these examples illustrate how robotics is becoming integral to modern healthcare delivery across multiple specialties.
Industry Outlook and the Role of ETFsAs technology advances, we are moving closer to AI-enhanced surgical systems that improve decision-making, micro-robotic devices capable of navigating the human body for targeted therapy, and autonomous diagnostic tools that assist in early disease detection.
Against this backdrop, the outlook for healthcare robotics is exceptionally bright. According to a report published by Johns Hopkins University in May 2025, the global healthcare robotics market is expected to increase from approximately $14.9 billion in 2023 to $57.0 billion by 2032.
While picking a single winner in this rapidly growing $57 billion market can be challenging, investing in a specialized robotics ETF provides a more balanced entry point. Rather than relying on a single clinical breakthrough, these funds grant investors exposure to the entire robotics value chain.
This diversified approach can potentially boost profits by capturing growth across industrial automation, logistics, and other sectors, while mitigating the risk associated with any single company or sub-sector.
Robotics ETFs to ConsiderFor investors looking to tap into the robotics industry’s pioneering growth prospects, the following ETFs stand out:
Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ - Free Report)
This fund, with net assets worth $3.43 billion, offers exposure to 62 companies that potentially stand to benefit from increased adoption and utilization of robotics and AI, including those involved in industrial robotics and automation, non-industrial robots, and autonomous vehicles. Keyence Corp holds the first spot in this fund, with 9.69% weightage, while ISRG holds the fifth position with 6.72% weightage.
BOTZ has rallied 13.1% over the past year. The fund charges 68 basis points (bps) as fees and traded at a good volume of 1.33 million shares in the last trading session.
ROBO Global Robotics and Automation Index ETF (ROBO - Free Report)
This fund, with net assets worth $2.09 billion, offers exposure to 79 companies that are driving transformative innovations in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence (RAAI), including companies that create technology to enable truly intelligent systems that can sense, process, and act, and companies that apply those technologies to deliver RAAI-enabled products, including robots, to businesses and consumers. Harmonic Drive Systems holds the first spot in this fund, with 1.92% weightage, while ISRG holds the fourth position with 1.77% weightage. ILMN holds the sixth spot in this fund, with 1.69% weightage.
ROBO has surged 36.2% over the past year. The fund charges 95 bps as fees and traded at a volume of 0.29 million shares in the last trading session.
First Trust NASDAQ Artificial Intelligence and Robotics ETF (ROBT - Free Report)
This fund, with net assets worth $728.2 million, offers exposure to 114 companies engaged in AI, robotics and automation. Palo Alto Networks holds the first spot in this fund, with 1.87% weightage, while ILMN holds the fourth position with 1.75% weightage.
ROBT has risen 15% over the past year. The fund charges 65 bps as fees and traded at a volume of 0.03 million shares in the last trading session.
Key Takeaways Microsoft advanced its Quantum Safe Program, targeting post-quantum cryptography adoption by 2029.QUBT expanded quantum cybersecurity and secure communications through its NuCrypt acquisition.QCi's average analyst price target implies roughly 111% upside from the latest closing price. Last week, Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report) accelerated its Quantum Safe Program (QSP), advancing its target to transition critical products and services to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2029. The move focuses on a rapidly emerging investment theme that quantum computing's first major commercial opportunity may lie not in building quantum computers, but in securing governments, enterprises and cloud infrastructure against future quantum-enabled cyber threats.
Amid this changing investment scenario, one pure-play quantum company that appears well-positioned to benefit from this trend is Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT - Free Report) or QCi.
Let’s get into more detail.
Microsoft's Quantum-Safe Push Signals a New Investment ThemeOn June 30, 2026, Microsoft accelerated its Quantum Safe Program (QSP), advancing its target to transition critical products and services to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2029. The company said rapid advances in quantum research have compressed the timeline for organizations to prepare for "cryptographically relevant" quantum computers capable of breaking today's widely used public-key encryption.
As part of the initiative, Microsoft plans to integrate quantum-safe security across its product portfolio by adopting NIST-standardized PQC algorithms, expanding crypto-agility to simplify future cryptographic upgrades, modernizing certificate trust chains and software-signing infrastructure and deploying hybrid cryptography with TLS 1.3. Azure CTO Mark Russinovich emphasized that migrating to quantum-resistant security is a "proactive, risk-informed decision," noting that enterprise-wide cryptographic transitions can take years to complete.
The urgency stems from the growing risk of "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks, in which attackers capture encrypted data today and store it for potential decryption once cryptographically relevant quantum computers become available. Microsoft cited this threat as a key reason organizations should begin transitioning to post-quantum cryptography now rather than waiting for quantum hardware to mature.
Although experts believe fault-tolerant quantum systems capable of breaking modern encryption remain years away, Microsoft now believes organizations should begin preparing immediately rather than waiting for a definitive breakthrough.
Why It Matters for Quantum InvestorsThe shift extends well beyond Microsoft. In the United States, the White House in June directed federal agencies to accelerate migration to post-quantum cryptography, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) continues expanding standards for quantum-resistant encryption. Similar initiatives are underway across Europe, Asia and Australia, where governments and operators of critical infrastructure are developing roadmaps to protect long-lived sensitive data from future quantum attacks.
For investors, while hardware-focused companies such as IonQ (IONQ - Free Report) , Rigetti Computing (RGTI - Free Report) and D-Wave Quantum (QBTS - Free Report) continue advancing quantum processors and enterprise applications, the accelerating adoption of post-quantum cryptography creates an additional commercialization pathway by increasing enterprise awareness, customer engagement and government investment across the broader quantum ecosystem.
Meanwhile, diversified technology leaders such as IBM, Alphabet and Cisco Systems are embedding quantum-safe capabilities into cloud platforms, networking infrastructure and security offerings, positioning themselves to benefit from what could become a multi-year enterprise migration cycle.
One Quantum Stock to Leverage the Microsoft-led WaveQUBT: Among pure-play quantum companies, QCi stands out because its strategy extends beyond quantum computing hardware into quantum cybersecurity and secure communications, areas that align closely with Microsoft's accelerated transition to post-quantum security.
Beyond its integrated photonics and quantum computing platforms, QCi has developed a dedicated quantum cybersecurity portfolio featuring quantum authentication technologies and photonic physical unclonable functions designed to replace classical public-key authentication methods that could become vulnerable in the quantum era.

The company's March 2026 acquisition of NuCrypt further expanded its capabilities in quantum communications, strengthening its position in secure communications as governments and enterprises accelerate preparations for post-quantum security.
This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company is projected to report second-quarter 2026 earnings growth of 16.7% on stupendous 7333.3% revenue growth. Based on six analysts' price targets, the average target of $18.33 implies roughly 111% upside from the latest closing price.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) faces a securities class action lawsuit related to surprise disclosures the company made to investors on March 30 and May 5, 2026 about problems with its flagship metallurgical coal asset (“Centurion”).
The lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of Peabody common stock between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026.
Between March 27 (the trading day before the first cryptic disclosure) and the May 5, 2026 fuller disclosure, investors saw the price of Peabody shares crumble $14.50 (-36%). Accordingly, the severe market reactions upon the company’s revelations support national shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman’s investigation into legal claims that Peabody and its co-defendants violated the federal securities laws.
The firm encourages Peabody investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now.
Peabody Energy Corporation (BTU) Securities Class Action:
Peabody characterizes itself as a leading producer of metallurgical and thermal coal and has promoted Centurion, its underground longwall metallurgical coal mine in Queensland, Australia. According to the company, the mine commenced full-scale production in February 2026.
The litigation is focused on the propriety of Peabody’s statements about Centurion’s operational status and production capabilities.
For example, Peabody’s management informed investors on February 5, 2026 that “the team was installing the very last shield and putting the finishing touches on the Centurion Mine[,]” and “our team is charged up and has started mining some of the best metallurgical coal in the world.” The company and its management also assured investors that Centurion is “going to ramp up probably about 700,000 tons in Q1, about 1 million to 1.1 million tons in Q2 and Q3, and then it’ll fall back down in Q4 as we have a longwall move.” In response, the market rewarded these statements by sending the price of Peabody shares up about 7.8% the next day.
Just a few weeks later, on March 30, 2026, Peabody filed a current report with the SEC and abruptly disclosed that Centurion “is expected deliver approximately 250,000 tons in the first quarter[.]” In other words, the company slashed Centurion production by about 64%. The news sent the price of Peabody shares down almost 10%.
Then, on May 5, 2026, Peabody reported its Q1 2026 financial results. Of particular concern pertaining to Centurion, management revealed the truth about why it slashed the mine’s Q1 production assurance.
Despite telling investors in February that it was mining Centurion and would produce 700,000 tons in Q1, a new narrative emerged – “as part of our commissioning in February, we encountered temporary mechanical and electrical issues” – and “[a]s a result, our full year sales outlook for Centurion is now 2.5 million tons compared to our original expectation of 3.5 million tons.” This full year 28% reduction helped send the price of Peabody shares down nearly 6%.
“We’re focused on whether Peabody and its management were sufficiently transparent about Centurion’s operational capabilities during the Class Period and, if not, whether they violated federal securities laws,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.
If you invested in Peabody Energy and have substantial losses, or have knowledge that will assist the firm’s investigation, submit your losses now.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Peabody Energy engages in the production of metallurgical and thermal coal.
The Peabody Energy class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to Peabody Energy's Centurion mine ramp-up and anticipated growth; and (ii) there was a multitude of issues causing delays to the Centurion mine ramp-up and the return to full longwall production dates.
On March 30, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release allegedly lowering guidance pertaining to Centurion mine's expected first quarter 2026 output by 450,000 tons ahead of Peabody Energy's full earnings release. On this news, the price of Peabody Energy stock fell nearly 10%, according to the complaint.
Then, on May 5, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release allegedly disclosing Peabody Energy's failure to ramp-up Centurion by the long-awaited March 2026 deadline and that Peabody Energy was cutting guidance related to full year met segment volumes to reflect the increased cost and substantial volume decrease. On this news, the price of Peabody Energy stock fell nearly 6%, according to the complaint.
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Peabody Energy common stock during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Peabody Energy class action lawsuit.

Key Takeaways GKOS rallied after positive iDose TR commentary eased concerns over proposed Medicare coverage restrictions.GKOS reported $54M in first-quarter iDose TR sales and expects sequential growth in the second quarter.Glaukos is expanding with Epioxa adoption and a broad ophthalmology pipeline supporting long-term growth. Shares of Glaukos (GKOS - Free Report) have surged 45.7% since the end of May. The stock has outpaced the industry’s 4% gain and the S&P 500 Index’s 0.9% decline.
GKOS stock witnessed a sharp rally after the company announced better-than-expected first-quarter top and bottom-line figures on April 29. However, the stock pared all its gains in May amid uncertainty surrounding the proposed Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for its glaucoma therapy, iDose TR, by Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs).
The MACs have proposed providing coverage for iDose only to patients who have failed both selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and two topical medications. The proposal also restricts the concurrent use of iDose TR with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedures and limits re-administration of iDose TR to once every two years. These proposed restrictions could hurt the drug's commercial prospects.
However, Glaukos management seemed confident about receiving an exclusion or modification on some or all of these restrictions in the final LCD draft, while presenting at several investor conferences held during the end of May or early June. The company is focusing on promoting iDose TR as first-line treatment for ocular hypertension.
One-Month Performance
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
GKOS management also stated that the market opportunity for iDose TR remains significant despite the proposed restrictions, driven by the rising number of glaucoma cases, and reaffirmed its guidance for 2026 and 2027. The company also believes that many patients are ineligible for SLTs or topical medications or both. GKOS is conducting a phase 4 study to evaluate the use of iDose TR with MIGS procedure, which has demonstrated promising results so far.
Several analysts also believe that the proposed restrictions for iDose TR in the proposed LCDs will have a minimal impact on its sales going forward. They expect a sizable pool of patients who have undergone selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) over the past decade to remain eligible for iDose TR.
The recent rally in Glaukos shares can be primarily attributed to investor enthusiasm following the positive commentary on iDose TR. The company recorded $54 million in iDose TR sales during the first quarter of 2026. GKOS expects sales of the therapy to grow sequentially in the second quarter as well.
Other Factors Supporting the Rally
Rising Epioxa Adoption:Apart from iDose TR, Epioxa is emerging as Glaukos' next major growth engine, with management reporting an encouraging commercial launch despite being in its earliest phase. The company has rapidly built a treatment network covering nearly 65% of the U.S. population, with visibility to expand coverage to roughly 95%.
Reimbursement momentum is strengthening, supported by access pathways covering more than 100 million commercial lives. The drug is covered by four of the five largest U.S. payers and received a permanent J-code effective July 2026. Combined with direct-to-consumer awareness campaigns and physician education initiatives, these developments position Epioxa to meaningfully expand the underpenetrated keratoconus treatment market over time.
Strong Pipeline:Glaukos continues to differentiate itself through one of ophthalmology's broadest innovation pipelines, with 13 publicly disclosed programs spanning glaucoma, corneal disorders, retinal diseases and ocular surface therapies. Beyond commercial products like iDose TR and Epioxa, the company is advancing iDose TREX, iStent infinite for earlier-stage glaucoma, and PRESERFLO MicroShunt, iLution for Demodex blepharitis.
The company plans to initiate studies on next-generation iLink technologies and a keratoconus screening device later this year. Management also highlighted promising early-stage retinal assets and multiple Phase 4 studies that could expand reimbursement, strengthen clinical evidence and create additional label-expansion opportunities, supporting sustainable long-term growth beyond its current revenue drivers.
Key Challenges
Despite strong execution, Glaukos faces several operational challenges that could moderate near-term growth. Apart from uncertainty surrounding iDose TR LCDs, Epioxa's launch remains constrained by reimbursement complexity until the permanent J-code becomes fully operational, resulting in temporary claims-processing delays and slower physician adoption.
The company also expects international glaucoma growth to decelerate due to increasing competitive product launches and fading foreign-exchange tailwinds. Furthermore, management plans to accelerate investments in commercial infrastructure, patient awareness and direct-to-consumer initiatives, which will keep operating expenses elevated and delay margin expansion.
In addition, successful commercialization depends on increasing keratoconus diagnosis rates and expanding physician adoption, requiring sustained investment in education, payer engagement and market development before Epioxa can fully realize its long-term billion-dollar revenue potential.

Currently, Glaukos has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Some better-ranked stocks from the broader medical space are Veracyte (VCYT - Free Report) , West Pharmaceutical (WST - Free Report) and Intuitive Surgical (ISRG - Free Report) .

Revenues of $139 million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.6%. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Investors in CRH plc. (CRH - Free Report) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Jan 15, 2026 $47.50 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
What is Implied Volatility?Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
What do the Analysts Think?Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for CRH, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, CRH is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Building Products - Miscellaneous Industry that ranks in the Bottom 25% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analyst has increased his earnings estimate for the current quarter, while one has dropped his estimate. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter to move from $1.94 per share to $1.96 per share in the same time period.
Given the way analysts feel about CRH right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.
Key Takeaways Denali gained 59.4% YTD as Avlayah approval marked its shift to a commercial-stage company.DNLI will receive $195 million from selling its Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher.DNLI regained full rights to DNL593 after Takeda ended the partnership for strategic reasons. Denali Therapeutics, Inc. (DNLI - Free Report) has put up a stupendous year-to-date performance. Shares of the company have surged 59.4% year to date compared with the industry’s growth of 5.9%. The stock has outperformed the sector and the S&P 500 Index during this time frame.
The rally is largely attributed to investor optimism surrounding FDA approval of its lead drug, Avlayah, for the treatment of Hunter syndrome, as well as other regulatory updates.
DNLI Outperforms Industry, Sector & S&P 500 Index
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
While the approval serves as a major catalyst, a deeper assessment of the company's growth drivers and potential risks will be essential to determine whether current levels represent an attractive entry point.
Avlayah Approval Positions DNLI for Long-Term UpsideAvlayah is an enzyme replacement therapy indicated for pediatric patients with Hunter syndrome (MPS II), targeting neurological symptoms when initiated early.
Developed by Denali, Avlayah is enabled by its TransportVehicle platform, which facilitates delivery of biologics throughout the body, including the brain.
Approval was based on strong biomarker data, showing a 91% reduction in cerebrospinal fluid heparan sulfate levels, a key disease marker.
This accelerated approval is particularly noteworthy as it introduces the first new therapeutic option for this rare disorder in nearly two decades. The continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification of clinical benefit in a confirmatory study.
Denali’s ongoing global phase II/III COMPASS study is expected to provide confirmatory data and support regulatory filings for tividenofusp alfa-eknm worldwide, including in young adult patients with Hunter syndrome.
The approval came with a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (“PRV”).
Last month, DNLI entered into a definitive agreement to sell its PRV, which is expected to generate gross proceeds of $195 million.
The added financial flexibility will help advance Denali’s broad TransportVehicle-enabled clinical portfolio for lysosomal storage disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.
DNLI’s Other Pipeline CandidatesDenali's clinical-stage portfolio includes DNL126 for Sanfilippo syndrome type A (MPS IIIA), DNL593 for GRN-related frontotemporal dementia, DNL952 for Pompe disease and DNL628 for Alzheimer's disease.
Denali is also advancing several early-stage pipeline candidates, including DNL921 for Alzheimer's disease, DNL111 for Parkinson’s and Gaucher diseases, DNL622 for Hurler syndrome (MPS I), and DNL422 (OTV) for Parkinson’s disease.
Denali has also collaborated with other pharma and biotech giants like Sanofi (SNY - Free Report) , Biogen (BIIB - Free Report) and Takeda (TAK - Free Report) to develop other candidates.
In May 2026, Denali and partner Biogen announced disappointing top-line results from a mid-stage study evaluating BIIB122 (DNL151) in individuals with early-stage Parkinson’s disease. The study did not meet its primary or secondary endpoints.
Biogen and Denali have discontinued the development of BIIB122 in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease.
Nonetheless, Denali will continue to independently advance the phase IIa BEACON study evaluating the small-molecule inhibitor in patients carrying pathogenic LRRK2 variants.
Partner Sanofi is developing eclitasertib for moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis.
In April 2026, Denali announced that partner Takeda decided to terminate their collaboration for DNL593 (PTV:PGRN) in frontotemporal dementia associated with GRN mutations (FTD-GRN).
The termination returns full rights to the program to Denali. According to DNLI, Takeda's decision was driven by strategic priorities rather than any efficacy or safety concerns.
However, Takeda’s exit may raise concerns. Even though the decision was not tied to safety or efficacy, the loss of a large pharma partner removes external validation and shared financial burden.
Denali’s Valuation and EstimatesGoing by the price/book ratio, DNLI’s shares currently trade at 4.51X, higher than its mean of 3.02X for the industry and the industry’s mean of 3.64X.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 loss per share has narrowed to $2.77 from $2.90 over the past 60 days, while that for 2027 loss has narrowed to $2.53 from $2.69 in the same time frame.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Invest in DNLI Stock NowThe approval of Avlayah represents Denali’s transition into a commercial-stage company and a potential inflection point in its long-term growth trajectory. As its first marketed product, Avlayah introduces a new revenue stream, though the pace and scale of commercialization will be critical in determining its ultimate financial impact.
Beyond near-term revenues, the approval also validates Denali’s proprietary TransportVehicle platform, which is designed to enable biologic therapies to cross the blood-brain barrier — an area that has historically posed significant challenges.
On the financial front, Denali appears well capitalized, ending the first quarter with approximately $1.05 billion in cash and investments. This provides sufficient runway to support ongoing clinical development and strategic initiatives. Narrowing loss estimates indicate improving investor sentiment and a clearer path toward operational leverage.
The sale of PRV provides a significant non-dilutive capital infusion, strengthening the company’s balance sheet without requiring an equity raise.
We remain bullish on the stock's prospects and believe it offers additional upside potential. Accordingly, we view the shares favorably for prospective investors, while existing shareholders may consider maintaining their positions to capitalize on further growth opportunities.

Key Takeaways VIAV lifted non-GAAP operating margin to 21% as NSE and OSP revenue posted strong year-over-year growth.VIAV expects operating margin to reach 22.7% in the fourth quarter, up from 21% in the third quarter.VIAV's earnings estimates for 2026 were unchanged, while 2027 estimates improved over the past 60 days. Viavi Solutions, Inc. (VIAV - Free Report) reported a non-GAAP operating income of $85.5 million, up from $47.7 million a year ago quarter. Non-GAAP operating margin was 21%, up from 16.7% a year ago.
The improvement in operating margin is driven by multiple factors, including strong growth in the Network and Service Enablement segment (NSE) and Optical Security and Performance Products (OSP). In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the NSE segment generated $321.5 million in revenues, up 54.4% year over year. The segment accounted for 79% of total revenues. Acquisition of Spirent product lines and strong demand across lab, production and field products, mainly from the data center ecosystem and aerospace & defense sectors, drove solid sales growth in this segment. The OSP segment revenues were $85.3 million, up 11.4% year over year, driven by strong demand for 3D Sensing and anti-counterfeiting.
Higher revenue is allowing fixed costs to be spread across a larger sales base. This is resulting in a significant operating leverage. Every incremental dollar of NSE revenue contributes roughly 40-45 cents to operating income, reflecting a highly scalable cost structure. Increasing mix, AI infrastructure and data center business, backed by hyperscalers’ demand, investment by optical module vendors and semiconductor companies will likely drive operating margin in the coming quarters. In the fourth quarter, Viavi expects its operating margin to reach 22.7%, up from 21% in the third quarter.
Other Tech Firms With Strong Margin ExpansionSanmina Corporation (SANM - Free Report) reported a non-GAAP operating profit of $257 million in the second quarter of 2026, up from $111 million a year ago. Non-GAAP operating margin improved to 6.4% from 5.6%. The 131.5% increase year over year and an 80-basis point operating margin expansion are driven by a multitude of factors. The ZT system, which performed significantly better than expected, was one of the biggest contributors. Strong customer demand for accelerated compute systems and earlier-than-expected shipments supported Sanmina’s profitability. Sanmina’s revenues surged 102.3% year over year to $4.01 billion. Revenue growth significantly outpaced the increase in operating expenses. Disciplined cost management was also a key contributor in this regard.
HubSpot. Inc. (HUBS - Free Report) generated a non-GAAP operating income of $156.8 million, up from $100.3 million in the prior-year quarter, with margin expanding 380 basis points year over year to 17.8%. Higher revenues and operating discipline helped offset increased investments in research, AI innovation and sales initiatives. HubSpot continues to witness rising adoption among larger customers as businesses consolidate marketing, sales and service workflows on a unified AI-enabled platform. During the first quarter of 2026, deals above $60,000 in annual recurring revenues increased 37% year over year, while deals above $120,000 ARR rose 64%. HubSpot’s AI strategy is increasingly contributing to customer engagement and monetization.

Leadership Vacuum
On June 1, 2026, Verra Mobility announced that long-time CEO David Roberts has abruptly stepped down, ending a 12-year tenure. This departure follows a volatile period for the company, initiated by the unexpected termination of a key contract with Avis Budget Group—a move that wiped out approximately $1.4 billion in shareholder value.
The Board of Directors has appointed former Chief Transformation and Legal Officer Jon Keyser as interim President and CEO while retaining a global search firm for a permanent replacement. Hagens Berman is investigating whether the departure is causally related to the allegations in the securities class action suit.

The complaint alleges Verra made false and misleading statements and did not disclose important information to investors about the true state of the Verra/Avis relationship and the likelihood of Verra receiving an Avis contract renewal.
The truth allegedly emerged on May 26, 2026, when Verra disclosed that it received a termination notice effective September 2026 from Avis regarding the companies’ contract, that it is taking immediate actions to cut costs, adapt operations, and reposition its business, and revised its 2026 outlook that significantly deviated from that given just twenty days prior.
Verra also revealed that it was reviewing the parties’ negotiations and handling of confidential information.
The news promptly sent the price of Verra shares 70% crashing lower on May 27, 2026, amputating $1.4 billion from the company’s market capitalization in a single day.

“Our investigation is focused on the extent to which and when Verra and its executives knew that renegotiations with Avis were far from constructive, as the May 26 surprise reveals,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.

Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome in any future case.
The tribunal on Wednesday determined that Prime Medicine’s investigational gene-editing therapy PM647 falls within the scope of the companies’ 2019 Collaboration and License Agreement.
The decision clears the company of any breach of contract claims and eliminates any financial liability related to the case.
Tribunal Rules PM647 Falls Within Prime Medicine’s Licensed FieldAccording to Prime Medicine, the arbitration tribunal concluded that PM647 is covered under the company’s defined “Field” in the 2019 agreement with Beam Therapeutics.
As a result, the tribunal found that Prime Medicine did not violate the terms of the agreement.
The company added that the ruling also determined it owes no monetary damages to Beam Therapeutics, bringing the previously disclosed arbitration to a close.
PM647 Targets Most Common Cause of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin DeficiencyPM647 is Prime Medicine’s investigational Prime Editing therapy for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD).
The therapy uses the company’s universal liver lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery platform to correct the E342K (Pi*Z) mutation in the SERPINA1 gene, which the company said is the most common disease-causing mutation associated with AATD.
Prime Medicine said that in fully humanized mouse models, PM647 achieved high editing efficiency while restoring the corrected M-AAT protein isoform to healthy human levels at clinically relevant doses.
Clinical Development Timeline Remains On TrackFollowing the arbitration outcome, Prime Medicine said it remains on schedule to advance PM647 into the clinic.
The company plans to submit an investigational new drug application and/or a clinical trial application for PM647 during the third quarter of 2026.
If those filings proceed as planned, Prime Medicine expects to report initial clinical data from the program in 2027.
PRME Price Action: Prime Medicine shares were up 13.16% at $4.51 at the time of publication on Wednesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

BridgeBio Pharma (BBIO - Free Report) is building its investment case around rare diseases where diagnosis, targeted treatment and commercial access are changing quickly.
Attruby's launch in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy gives the company a commercial base, while late-stage programs could widen its reach in genetic diseases with limited approved options.
Attruby Shows BridgeBio Demand ExpansionAttruby is already BridgeBio's main revenue driver. The drug generated $362.4 million in U.S. sales in 2025, its first full year on the market, and nearly $181 million in first-quarter 2026 sales.
The demand backdrop matters as much as the product launch. BridgeBio estimates diagnosed ATTR-CM patients in the United States increased from fewer than 5,000 in 2019 to more than 50,000 in 2025 as awareness improved and non-invasive diagnostic tools gained wider use.
This makes Attruby part of a broader market-expansion story. A larger identified patient pool can support continued adoption if BridgeBio converts diagnosis growth into prescriptions and maintains access against entrenched alternatives.
BBIO Targets First-in-Class OpportunitiesBridgeBio's late-stage pipeline is aimed at rare diseases where established therapies remain limited. BBP-418 is under FDA review for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I/R9 (LGMD2I/R9), with a decision expected by Nov. 27, 2026.
If approved, BBP-418 would become the first therapy for that patient group and potentially the first approved treatment for any form of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. Encaleret offers a similar first-in-class angle in autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1), with a possible U.S. launch in early 2027.
The strategy fits BridgeBio's broader focus on genetically defined diseases. It also gives investors multiple regulatory catalysts beyond Attruby, although approval timing and label breadth remain key variables.
How Oral Drugs Shape BridgeBio's PositioningProduct format is part of BBIO's competitive pitch. Infigratinib is an orally administered therapy being developed for achondroplasia, with a U.S. filing planned for the third quarter of 2026.
That oral profile could matter in a market that already includes injectable options. BioMarin Pharmaceutical (BMRN - Free Report) markets Voxzogo in achondroplasia, while Ascendis Pharma (ASND - Free Report) adds another competitive reference point through Yuviwel.
Attruby also operates in a competitive field. Pfizer (PFE - Free Report) remains the established player in ATTR-CM through its Vyndaqel family, which means BridgeBio must compete on clinical relevance, access and physician adoption rather than diagnosis growth alone.
BridgeBio Builds Beyond a One-Product StoryBridgeBio is still highly dependent on Attruby, but its portfolio points beyond a single commercial win. The company is preparing for three potential U.S. launches over the next 12 months, supported by a $1 billion preferred equity financing.
Earlier-stage assets add a longer runway. BBP-812 is being developed for Canavan disease, while a next-generation ATTR-CM depleter program could extend BridgeBio's presence in the same cardiac amyloidosis market over time.
Minority interests in GondolaBio and BridgeBio Oncology Therapeutics add rare disease and oncology optionality. These assets are not central to the near-term thesis, but they reinforce the company's effort to build a broader genetic-disease platform.
How BBIO Signals Trend Strength to InvestorsThe bottom line is that BridgeBio gives investors credible exposure to rare disease diagnosis growth, targeted therapy development and underpenetrated patient populations. Attruby validates the commercial side, while BBP-418, encaleret and infigratinib could determine whether BBIO becomes a broader launch story.
BBIO currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). That rank is consistent with a balanced view in which launch execution and market expansion are offset by competition, regulatory risk and valuation pressure. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
For now, the investment debate rests less on the attractiveness of rare disease trends and more on execution. Attruby must keep gaining share, and the pipeline needs approvals that can diversify revenues without adding avoidable launch risk.
Key Takeaways SoFi launched SFYI, pairing top member-held stocks with an actively managed options strategy for income.SOFI grew to 14.7M members, 22.2M products and 3.7M SoFi Invest accounts in Q1 2026.SoFi's brokerage fee revenues more than doubled as total fee-based revenue rose 23% to $386.8 million. SoFi Technologies (SOFI - Free Report) is expanding its SoFi Invest ETF lineup with the launch of the SoFi Social 50 Income ETF (“SFYI”). The fund invests in the top 50 U.S.-listed stocks held by SoFi Invest self-directed accounts and then adds an actively managed options strategy aimed at pursuing monthly income and growth potential.
The move builds on SoFi’s broader ETF lineup that already includes the SoFi Social 50 ETF, SoFi Agentic AI ETF, SoFi Select 500 ETF and SoFi Enhanced Yield ETF. This expansion gives SoFi more ways to serve investors seeking stock exposure, AI themes, broad-market access or income-focused strategies in one app.
SoFi has also been expanding its investing tools, alongside its funds. Composer by SoFi enables investors to create, test and automate strategies using plain language, while SoFi Coach provides AI-backed assistance for budgeting, debt, saving and investing. Together, these features are poised to make the SoFi Invest platform more useful for everyday financial decisions.
The SFYI launch fits SoFi’s broader push to make investing part of its “everything app.” In the first quarter of 2026, SoFi had 14.7 million members, rising 35% year over year, and 22.2 million products, up 39%. SoFi Invest products reached 3.7 million accounts.
New investment products help SoFi grow fee revenues. In the first quarter of 2026, brokerage fee revenues more than doubled over the past year, while total fee-based revenues reached $386.8 million, up 23%. A fund like SFYI could support that momentum by giving members another reason to stay active in the ecosystem.
How Are Competitors Faring?Robinhood Markets (HOOD - Free Report) remains a direct SoFi rival in self-directed investing, offering commission-free stock, ETF and options trading alongside cash products. Its international push now includes ETFs in Europe, reinforcing a broader brokerage ecosystem. In first-quarter 2026, HOOD added $18 billion in net deposits and hit a record 4.3 million Gold subscribers, signaling strong platform engagement.
Wealthfront Corporation (WLTH - Free Report) , a SoFi competitor, though it leans more toward automated investing than trading. Its platform already uses ETFs across managed portfolios and allows clients to add supported ETFs, making it relevant for investors seeking diversified, low-maintenance exposure. In first-quarter fiscal 2026, WLTH’s investment advisory assets climbed 39% to $51.7 billion year over year, supporting its ETF-driven advisory model.
SOFI’s Price Performance, Valuation, and EstimatesShares of SOFI have gained 5.5% in the past three months, outperforming the broader industry while underperforming the S&P 500 Index.

From a valuation standpoint, SOFI trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 25.42X, well above the industry’s 9.60X. It carries a Value Score of F.

The AI infrastructure boom is still in its early days. Alphabet (GOOG 2.04%) (GOOGL 1.89%) has initiated an $84.75 billion equity capital raise "to expand AI infrastructure and compute," while Amazon (AMZN 1.23%) more recently issued over $25 billion in corporate bonds for AI investments.
All that money has to go somewhere, and some of it can flow into Sterling Infrastructure's (STRL 2.03%) coffers. The construction company has turned into a top AI data center builder, and as demand for those facilities rises, Sterling Infrastructure will continue to build on its backlog.
Image source: Getty Images.
The e-infrastructure opportunity Sterling Infrastructure is a site development specialist for residential and commercial properties. It also helps with transportation infrastructure, which includes highways, roads, and bridges. Those parts of the business had moderate growth in the first quarter, but they were completely overshadowed by e-infrastructure.

That's the part of the business that's focused on AI data centers, e-commerce warehouses, and advanced manufacturing facilities. Its revenue was up by 174% year over year in the quarter, and a $5.15 billion backlog offers clear revenue visibility for multiple years. Sterling Infrastructure was recently awarded a contract to develop a large, multi-year semiconductor fabrication campus. The company has secured the initial developmental phase of that project and could end up building the entire facility.
AI infrastructure demand won't be slowing down anytime soon. Alphabet and Amazon are going deep into their pockets and raising capital to build more sites and buy key components that enable AI technology. E-infrastructure has served as a major catalyst, and if its revenue continues to accelerate, overall sales will go up with it.
Assessing the 30% drop Although Sterling Infrastructure enjoys solid fundamentals and AI spending continues to climb, the stock is down by more than 30% from all-time highs. Furthermore, it's down by more than 20% over the past month. This isn't a Sterling Infrastructure problem, since many AI stocks have endured sharp corrections over the past month.
Even Micron (MU +0.93%) wasn't safe. More than quadrupling revenue year over year wasn't enough for the company to avoid a 20% downturn in less than two weeks.
The fact that many AI stocks and tech companies are in the middle of corrections indicates that Sterling Infrastructure is not suffering from company-specific issues. Its fundamentals are improving despite the sell-off, and investors will soon pick up on that opportunity.
Sterling Infrastructure's full-year revenue projections also point to meaningful expansion. It's expected to reach $3.75 billion in total revenue at the midpoint, which represents a 50.6% year-over-year growth rate from the $2.49 billion in total revenue in full-year 2025.
While some investors are cashing out, others can benefit by investing in the dip and capitalizing on long-term AI tailwinds at a discount.

MasTec Inc. MTZ shares climbed about 6% on Wednesday after the infrastructure engineering and construction company announced a $1.65 billion acquisition of electrical contractor The Superior Group.
The deal expands its presence in the rapidly growing data center infrastructure market.
The cash-and-stock transaction, which is expected to close in mid-to-late July, subject to customary approvals, also prompted Mizuho to raise its price target on MasTec shares to $502 from $498 while maintaining an Outperform rating.
The acquisition is designed to strengthen MasTec's capabilities as companies continue investing heavily in artificial intelligence infrastructure, power networks and mission-critical facilities.
MasTec said it will acquire The Superior Group for approximately $1.65 billion, comprising $1.175 billion in cash, $475 million in MasTec stock and a 36-month earnout.
The transaction values Superior at roughly 6.9 times its estimated 2026 adjusted EBITDA.
Based in Columbus, Ohio, Superior is an IBEW-signatory electrical contractor employing approximately 3,000 people.
The company is projected to generate between $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion in revenue during 2026, while maintaining an EBITDA margin of 14% to 15%.
Around 90% of Superior's business is tied to data centers, including approximately 70% generated from hyperscale customers.
The company also has a backlog of $1.4 billion and operates a 300,000-square-foot prefabrication facility.
Following completion of the transaction, Superior will become part of MasTec's Power Delivery segment, where management expects the acquisition to help increase segment margins from roughly 9% to the low double digits.
MasTec said the acquisition strengthens its position in one of the fastest-growing areas of infrastructure spending as artificial intelligence continues driving investment in data centers and related power infrastructure.
The company has traditionally focused on "outside-the-fence" infrastructure, including power generation, transmission, substations and communications networks.
Superior expands those capabilities into "inside-the-fence" electrical systems, engineering and integrated building services.
"Superior expands our ability to serve one of the most compelling infrastructure opportunities in the market today—the ongoing buildout of data center, power and mission-critical infrastructure," MasTec CEO Jose Mas said.
Superior provides electrical design, engineering, prefabrication, modular manufacturing, construction, integrated systems and long-term maintenance services across data centers, healthcare, industrial and entertainment facilities.
MasTec expects the acquisition to contribute immediately to revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share and operating cash flow.
For the remainder of 2026, Superior is expected to contribute between $800 million and $900 million in revenue, adjusted EBITDA of $100 million to $115 million and adjusted earnings per share of $0.50 to $0.65.
For the full year, Superior is projected to generate between $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion in revenue alongside adjusted EBITDA of $225 million to $250 million.
Looking ahead to 2027, management projects revenue of $2.2 billion to $2.5 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $250 million to $275 million.
The acquisition also strengthens MasTec's relationships with hyperscalers, data center developers and technology customers while adding one of the largest self-performing electrical workforces in the United States.
MasTec said the transaction aligns with its broader capital allocation strategy of investing in high-growth infrastructure markets while maintaining financial flexibility.
The company expects to generate approximately $1 billion in operating cash flow during 2026, supporting future investments as demand for AI-driven digital infrastructure continues to expand.
Mobileye Global Inc. is transitioning from a traditional ADAS supplier to a potential infrastructure provider for robotaxis and humanoid robotics, with major inflection points expected in 2027. The current ~$8B valuation reflects only the legacy ADAS business; new initiatives like Mentee Robotics and robotaxi partnerships could shift revenue models toward recurring income. Despite high gross margins (45%–50%), MBLY remains in heavy R&D mode, with negative operating margins and limited growth catalysts until 2027.
Domino's Pizza Inc (NYSE:DPZ) is expected to report weaker-than-expected US same-store sales for the second quarter as macroeconomic pressures, elevated promotional activity across the pizza category and tougher year-over-year comparisons weigh on performance, according to UBS.
Ahead of the company's July 20 earnings report, the brokerage wrote that investors are likely to focus on current and planned sales initiatives, as well as management's outlook for sales in the second half of the year.
UBS forecasts US same-store sales will decline 1.5% in the second quarter, compared with Wall Street consensus expectations for 0.3% growth. The analysts wrote that softer consumer spending and heightened promotional competition are likely to offset benefits from value offers, marketing investments, the company's loyalty program and third-party delivery partnerships.
The firm expects management to highlight initiatives aimed at improving sales momentum, including continued value promotions, further growth through DoorDash, enhancements to Domino's app and loyalty platform, increased marketing and new menu offerings.
UBS also expects the company to discuss product innovation, including new sauces, expanded chicken options and additional crust platforms following the launch of Parmesan Stuffed Crust. The analysts added that store closures among competitors could help Domino's expand its market share over time.
While UBS continues to view Domino's as well-positioned for longer-term market share gains and global expansion, it sees risks to the company's current 2026 guidance.
UBS wrote that it sees downside risk to the company's current 2026 guidance, including low-single-digit growth in US and international same-store sales and mid- to high-single-digit operating income growth, excluding foreign exchange effects and the benefit of a 53rd week.
Outside the US, UBS forecasts global net store growth of 4.6% in the second quarter, in line with consensus estimates, including 31 net new stores in the US and 165 internationally. The analysts noted that global expansion outside Domino's Pizza Enterprises remains a relative strength, supported by attractive franchise economics, strong franchisee profitability, competitor closures and contributions from key international markets.
UBS added that investors are also likely to focus on Domino's Pizza Enterprises, including the arrival of its new chief executive in August, management's confidence in its turnaround strategy and potential portfolio changes to improve performance.
The firm maintained its $375 price target, saying Domino's valuation appears near a support level despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, with longer-term upside supported by the company's potential to gain market share and accelerate sales growth through its strategic initiatives.
Shares of Domino’s traded hands at $305 on Wednesday afternoon.
Growth stocks are attractive to many investors, as above-average financial growth helps these stocks easily grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a growth stock that can live up to its true potential can be a tough task.
By their very nature, these stocks carry above-average risk and volatility. Moreover, if a company's growth story is over or nearing its end, betting on it could lead to significant loss.
However, the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects, makes it pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks.
On Holding (ONON - Free Report) is one such stock that our proprietary system currently recommends. The company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank.
Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And returns are even better for stocks that possess the combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy).
Here are three of the most important factors that make the stock of this running-shoe and apparel company a great growth pick right now.
Earnings GrowthArguably nothing is more important than earnings growth, as surging profit levels is what most investors are after. And for growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is definitely preferable, and often an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.
While the historical EPS growth rate for On Holding is 64.3%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 82.8% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 17.4%.
Cash Flow GrowthCash is the lifeblood of any business, but higher-than-average cash flow growth is more beneficial and important for growth-oriented companies than for mature companies. That's because, high cash accumulation enables these companies to undertake new projects without raising expensive outside funds.
Right now, year-over-year cash flow growth for On Holding is 2.7%, which is higher than many of its peers. In fact, the rate compares to the industry average of -2.4%.
While investors should actually consider the current cash flow growth, it's worth taking a look at the historical rate too for putting the current reading into proper perspective. The company's annualized cash flow growth rate has been 90% over the past 3-5 years versus the industry average of 14.2%.
Promising Earnings Estimate RevisionsSuperiority of a stock in terms of the metrics outlined above can be further validated by looking at the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is of course favorable here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
There have been upward revisions in current-year earnings estimates for On Holding. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 2.8% over the past month.
Bottom LineWhile the overall earnings estimate revisions have made On Holding a Zacks Rank #1 stock, it has earned itself a Growth Score of A based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above.
You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
This combination positions On Holding well for outperformance, so growth investors may want to bet on it.
EUR/USD holds firm on Wednesday after reversing earlier losses triggered by renewed tensions between the United States (US) and Iran, while traders digest the June Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes. At the time of writing, the pair is trading around 1.1427 after hitting an intraday low of 1.1391.
The US Dollar (USD) saw little immediate reaction to the minutes, suggesting much of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) message was already reflected in market pricing. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback's value against a basket of six major currencies, is trading around 100.97, easing from an intraday high of 101.27.
Officials remained cautious about inflation, which remains well above the central bank's 2% target, while describing labor market conditions as balanced.
Policymakers also signaled that the future path of interest rates will depend on incoming economic data, with some indicating that additional policy tightening could be warranted if inflation proves more persistent than expected.
Nevertheless, renewed geopolitical tensions and expectations that the Fed could deliver at least one interest rate hike this year should continue to underpin the Greenback, keeping downside pressure on EUR/USD.
Technical analysis:
On the daily chart, EUR/USD is trading within a downward parallel channel and beneath its key moving averages, which keeps the near-term bias bearish.
However, momentum is showing signs of improvement, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) recovering to 41 from near-oversold territory, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has turned marginally positive, reinforcing the idea of a consolidative phase within a broader downside structure rather than a clear bullish reversal.
On the topside, initial resistance is seen at the horizontal level around 1.1500, closely aligned with the upper boundary of the descending channel, forming a tight cap on any corrective bounce.
Above these, the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.1611, followed by the 200-day SMA at 1.1649, represent more substantial barriers that would need to be reclaimed to ease the prevailing bearish tone.
On the downside, immediate support emerges at the horizontal level near 1.1350, ahead of the channel floor around 1.1305, where a break would likely open the way for a continuation of the broader downtrend.

Arbitrum Agentic Arbitrum now supports x402 and MPP, giving developers new ways to build agentic payment and settlement flows on the finance-native platform powering the programmable economy.
Jul 8, 2026 — 2 min read
Share this article:
Developers now have two new pathways for building agentic payment and settlement flows on Arbitrum. Arbitrum is supported by Coinbase’s hosted x402 facilitator, and Offchain has published arbitrum-mpp, an open-source implementation for making payments over MPP on Arbitrum.
This is an early step toward making Arbitrum a practical home for agentic finance. Agents are starting to call APIs, buy data, execute strategies, and settle transactions with other agents. As that activity grows, they will need fast, programmable settlement and access to the financial infrastructure where capital already moves.
Arbitrum powers the programmable economy: markets, transactions, and business processes that run in software and execute automatically. Agentic finance extends that vision to agents that can request a service, evaluate cost, authorize payment, and continue the workflow without leaving the application context.
The Arbitrum Platform is well suited for that next phase because it combines fast execution, low transaction costs, deep stablecoin liquidity, EVM composability, and one of Ethereum’s most mature DeFi ecosystems. For agents that need to do more than send value from one account to another, that financial depth matters.
x402 support on Arbitrum Coinbase’s hosted x402 facilitator supports Arbitrum, giving developers a way to build x402-powered services on Arbitrum without standing up their own settlement infrastructure. The facilitator handles key operational pieces of the payment flow, while agents and applications can settle payments on Arbitrum.
x402 makes payment part of the same request and response pattern that software already uses. An agent requesting a paid API endpoint, data product, or service can receive a payment requirement and respond programmatically as part of the interaction.
For agent developers, that makes Arbitrum easier to use for paid digital services, machine-to-machine transactions, and applications where agents need to pay as they act. Developers can start by reviewing Coinbase’s x402 support for Arbitrum, then explore leading x402 use cases on Agentic Market.
MPP support on Arbitrum Alongside x402 support, Offchain has published arbitrum-mpp, an open-source charge method that lets clients and servers transact over MPP on Arbitrum. This gives developers working code for agent-readable payment flows, including client logic, server logic, authorization, and settlement.
The package ships both halves of the flow as a TypeScript SDK. On the client side, the SDK takes a server’s Challenge and produces a Credential containing a signed payment authorization and the details of what the client is paying for. On the server side, the SDK defines the Challenge, validates incoming credentials, submits the transaction, and confirms that the payment has been settled.
Settlement happens with USDC through a signed transfer authorization. A payment can be authorized offchain and settled onchain without requiring the payer to hold the gas token or send a separate approval first. The implementation can also use any token compatible with Uniswap’s Permit2 contract, which requires a one-time approval for transactions using that token.
The repository includes runnable client and server examples so developers can test the full handshake locally. Read the MPP docs for Arbitrum for full implementation details.
Start building agent payments on Arbitrum x402 and MPP support are early steps in a broader effort to make Arbitrum a practical home for agentic finance. Upcoming work will focus on clearer developer paths for building, testing, and deploying agentic applications on Arbitrum, including more documentation, example flows, integration guidance, and resources for teams building agent-enabled payment and financial applications.
Agentic finance is still early. The standards, interfaces, and dominant use cases are still forming. But the direction is clear: more economic activity will be initiated and coordinated by agents.
Developers can start experimenting with agentic payment flows on Arbitrum today. Read the MPP docs for Arbitrum or build with x402 through Coinbase’s hosted x402 facilitator.

NuScale Power (SMR 2.40%) is offering the world a technology that could radically change how energy is generated. Yes, I'm referring to small modular reactors (SMRs), which condense all the benefits of nuclear power -- carbon-free electricity, round-the-clock reliability -- into factory-built reactors that are smaller, easier to deploy, and potentially less expensive than traditional nuclear power plants.
If NuScale can deploy reactors at scale, this stock could make early investors happy with their returns. Indeed, now would be the time to buy NuScale if you're bullish on its future, as the stock is trading near all-time lows.
But before getting too bullish, let's take a closer look at where NuScale is, where it could be going, and if, indeed, it has what it takes to set you up for life.

A first mover with a complicated commercial partnership and faltering revenue NuScale is in an enviable position: It is the only U.S. nuclear company with a small nuclear reactor (SMR) design approved by the NRC. Considering that SMR technology could unlock a trillion-dollar market opportunity, that advantage is not one to take lightly.
SMR technology, however, hasn't been proven to be commercially viable yet, not by NuScale, or by anyone else. In fact, the biggest factor driving NuScale's stock down right now is radio silence: Utilities companies aren't knocking on NuScale's door for SMRs, and the few who are interested haven't signed firm contracts yet.

This lack of SMR sales has been showing up in its finances. Revenue has dropped substantially from roughly $8 million in the second and third quarters of 2025, respectively, to about $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of that year and $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2026.
Data by YCharts
To help it sell reactors, NuScale partnered with ENTRA1 Energy, a developer that finances and develops projects powered by NuScale reactors. The partnership has already proved fruitful; both energy companies are currently pursuing a big deal with Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which could see 72 NuScale reactors providing 6 gigawatts (GWs) of power to Tennessee and portions of six other states.
But here's where things get interesting. The deal is currently non-binding; TVA isn't legally locked into purchasing power, and it could back out without any repercussions. The same can't be said for NuScale: The non-binding agreement triggered "Milestone Contribution 1," which resulted in a roughly $507 million obligation to ENTRA1.
It doesn't end there. If TVA signs a binding customer agreement, NuScale will then have to pay ENTRA1 roughly $16 million for every reactor that's included in the deal. A 72-reactor deployment, then, could represent an expense of about $1.2 billion to ENTRA1, which would be more than the liquidity NuScale had at the end of March.
Put another way: Winning big contracts could actually require NuScale to spend a tremendous amount of cash before it records substantial revenue from reactors.
Based on the analysis above, I would check any overly bullish sentiments on NuScale stock. It's unclear how much revenue this company could generate in the future, or whether it will be enough to justify a lofty market cap. Aggressive investors might want to buy a few shares of this nuclear energy stock, but the more risk-averse will likely want to look elsewhere for their next investment.
D-Wave Quantum Inc (NYSE:QBTS) was last seen off 2.7% to trade at $20.50, poised to nab its fifth loss in the past five sessions and trading at its lowest levels in over a month. However, a historically bullish signal now flashing points to a potential rebound.
According to Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, QBTS is trading within 0.75 times the 100-day moving average's 20-day average true range (ATR), after spending at least 80% of the previous two weeks and 80% of the prior 42 trading sessions above that trendline.
This setup has appeared five times over the last decade, after which the stock was higher one month later 60% of the time, averaging an impressive 28% gain. A similar move from the stock's current perch would have it trading at $26.24.
Short interest remains elevated with the 55.75 million shares sold short now accounting for 15.54% of QBTS' available float, and it would take short sellers roughly two days to buy back their bearish bets at the stock's average pace of trading.
It's also worth noting the equity's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 98% stands higher than just 20% of all other readings from the past year, implying that near-term option traders are pricing in relatively low volatility expectations.
According to Arkham’s monitoring, an address labeled SpaceX has transferred Bitcoin for the first time in six months. Data shows that SpaceX address 15atF initiated a BTC test transaction to SpaceX address bc1q9, worth approximately $88, which is suspected to be a test transfer.

A whale has aggregated approximately $5.85 million worth of HYPE and LIT assets into the same wallet.
According to monitoring by Onchain Lens, a crypto whale has transferred approximately $5.85 million worth of HYPE and LIT assets into a single wallet, with the funds likely accumulated through Galaxy Digital. The transferred assets consist of 78,100 HYPE tokens (valued at around $5.25 million) and 263,700 LIT tokens (worth approximately $601,000).
SpaceX moved Bitcoin (BTC) on-chain for the first time in six months on Tuesday. The company sent an $88 test transaction between two of its tagged wallets, blockchain tracker Arkham Intelligence reported.
The tiny transfer instantly revived a familiar question. SpaceX holds 18,712 BTC, and Elon Musk’s companies rarely touch their coins without drawing market attention.
Is SpaceX Moving Its Bitcoin?Arkham flagged the transaction on Wednesday. The funds traveled from a legacy “15atF” address to a newer “bc1q9” address.
SpaceX Bitcoin test transaction between tagged wallets. Source: Arkham “A tagged SpaceX address just moved Bitcoin for the first time in 6 months. SpaceX (15atF) made a test transaction of $88 of BTC to SpaceX (bc1q9). Is SpaceX about to move more BTC?” Arkham posed.
Follow us on X to get the latest news as it happens
The question posed by Arkham itself fuels speculation. Tiny test sends are a standard custody step that verifies a new address before larger sums follow.
SpaceX has followed this playbook before. In October 2025, Arkham research recorded 2,495 BTC, worth $257 million, landing in two fresh wallets after months of quiet. That followed a $300 million shift to Coinbase Prime custody in July 2025.
SPACEX MOVING $250 MILLION BTC
SpaceX has just moved a total of $268.5 Million BTC. This involves them moving 90 and 10 BTC to separate wallets, with the other $257.7M remaining in SpaceX wallets.
What is SpaceX doing with 100 BTC? pic.twitter.com/Hb4rPBx7Ma
— Arkham (@arkham) October 21, 2025 Traders also remember that SpaceX has sold before. Arkham’s records show it offloaded two large chunks of its stack during the 2022 crypto winter. Tesla, by contrast, has left its 11,509 BTC untouched since 2024.
No Evidence of a Sale as Holdings Stay at 18,712 BTCStill, nothing currently points to selling. BitcoinTreasuries shows 18,712 BTC, unchanged since the May 21 S-1 filing that preceded SpaceX’s June 12 IPO.
SpaceX BTC Holdings. Source: Bitcoin TreasuriesThat filing also reframed what wallet watchers can see. On-chain trackers had estimated roughly 8,285 BTC, so the disclosure revealed 10,427 BTC they had never traced. In other words, Arkham’s tagged addresses cover less than half the treasury.
Ownership concentrates the decision further. Musk was expected to keep a controlling stake above 85%, leaving any accumulation or disposal at his discretion.
The timing adds intrigue. SpaceX stock joined the Nasdaq-100 this week, while BTC trades near $62,060, roughly half its October peak of $126,080. Consequently, the stash is worth about $1.2 billion, down from $1.45 billion at the time of disclosure.
Wallet data can move sentiment fast. Reports of MicroStrategy’s larger-than-reported sales showed as much just last week. Similarly, activity from long-dormant Bitcoin wallets tends to signal consolidation rather than selling.
If precedent holds, the $88 send points to custody housekeeping rather than an exit. However, follow-up transfers from the new address in the coming days would reveal whether a larger reshuffle is underway.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX-linked wallet address moved Bitcoin after 6 months, sparking speculation in crypto and stock markets. The transfer coincided with massive profit booking in SPCX stock that sent the stock below its IPO debut price.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX Wallet Transfers Bitcoin According to Arkham Intelligence data on July 8, a wallet address linked to Elon Musk’s SpaceX moved Bitcoin for the first time in six months. The transfer triggered selling speculations despite the firm moved just $88 worth of BTC.
The firm last moved more than 1016 BTC worth nearly $100 million. SpaceX wallet still holds almost 18,712 BTC, valued at $1.16 billion at the current market price. Notably, the destination address now holds 614 BTC worth $38 million.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX Moves Bitcoin. Source: Arkham Outflows from SpaceX to other unknown wallets increased significantly last year near the October 10 crypto market crash. The transfers gradually stopped as the firm’s focus switched to its SpaceX IPO.
The latest transfer comes amid Bitcoin selling by digital asset treasuries such as Michael Saylor’s Strategy, MARA Holdings, Nakamoto Holdings, and Sequans Communications. Last week, Michael Saylor’s Strategy announced Bitcoin sale worth $216 million.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin price is trading above $62K, almost 2% lower amid renewed US-Iran strikes. President Trump cast doubt on the future of the cease-fire with Iran after both sides traded attacks, saying “I think it’s over.”
SPCX Stock Extends Fall to 25% SPCX stock closed 6.83% lower at $149.47 on Tuesday, falling to an intraday low of $148.86 amid massive profit booking. The stock price has dropped below its IPO debut price.
The stock dropped despite Elon Musk-led space exploration and AI company SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100. While it sparked long-term bullish sentiment among investors due to potential influx of investments, but stock remains under selling pressure.
SpaceX stock is now down more than 25% within just a month. The stock has climbed 0.49% in premarket trading hours on Wednesday.
As CoinGape reported, Wall Street firms, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup, initiated coverage of SPCX stock, setting higher price targets. Morgan Stanley analysts are extremely bullish on Elon Musk’s SpaceX stock, setting a price target of $300.

Germany’s seized Bitcoin wallet has been one of the market’s most obvious supply stories. Now the discussion is starting to change from how much BTC might still be sold to how close the selling pressure may be to ending.
The useful way to read this is not as a guaranteed price signal, but as a fresh piece of information in a market that is trying to sort real developments from noise. That does not mean Bitcoin is suddenly free of sell-side risk. Mt. Gox repayments, miners, ETFs, and macro flows all still matter. But a shrinking government wallet can change sentiment because it turns an open-ended fear into something with a visible endpoint.
For more details, visit the official Arkham platform.
TL;DR Arkham-tracked Germany-linked wallets now hold less than 20% of the seized BTC balance.The market has treated the transfers as a major source of sell pressure.If the balance keeps shrinking, traders may soon start pricing the end of that specific overhang. From pressure to exhaustion The significance of a wallet falling below 20% of its original seized balance is simple: the worst of that specific supply event may be closer to passing. Traders have spent days watching exchange transfers and assuming those coins could hit the market.
That does not mean Bitcoin is suddenly free of sell-side risk. Mt. Gox repayments, miners, ETFs, and macro flows all still matter. But a shrinking government wallet can change sentiment because it turns an open-ended fear into something with a visible endpoint.
The Market Read Do not overstate certainty; frame it as a visible supply overhang nearing exhaustion.
That is the balance readers need to keep in mind. Crypto markets are quick to turn every update into a single-direction trade, but most durable stories are more layered than that. They matter because they change positioning, incentives, infrastructure, or regulation over time.
What Comes Into Focus Now From here, the important thing is follow-through. If the source data, company update, filing, or on-chain record continues to move in the same direction, this can become part of a larger trend. If it stalls, it is still useful as a snapshot of where attention is sitting today.
For traders and readers, the cleaner takeaway is to separate the confirmed development from the speculation around it. The confirmed part is what deserves coverage. The speculation is what needs caution.
For Bitcoin readers specifically, the story is useful because it gives a clearer frame for the next few sessions. It tells them what to watch, which part of the market is reacting, and where the first obvious risk sits. That is more valuable than simply saying a token, company, or regulator has made a move. The useful work is in connecting the update to liquidity, positioning, adoption, enforcement, or user behaviour without pretending that any single headline controls the whole market.
The practical question now is whether this remains an isolated update or becomes part of a chain of follow-through. A second filing, another wallet move, fresh dashboard data, a new governance vote, or a stronger market reaction can all turn a clean single-day story into a broader narrative. Without that follow-through, it still matters, but more as a marker of where attention was concentrated on July 8 than as a complete trend on its own.
That distinction is especially important in a market where headlines can travel faster than context. A source-backed update gives readers something firmer to work with, but it does not remove liquidity risk, execution risk, or the chance that traders fade the initial reaction once the first wave of attention passes.
In that sense, the headline is only the starting point. The better read is to watch how builders, exchanges, funds, wallets, regulators, or large holders respond after the first announcement has moved through the feed.

A Bitcoin wallet associated with SpaceX executed its first transaction in roughly six months, according to data from Arkham Intelligence. The wallet labeled as “SpaceX 15atF” transferred approximately $88 worth of BTC to another wallet, which also carries a SpaceX label and starts with “bc1q9”. This movement, though modest in value, has drawn significant attention within the cryptocurrency community due to SpaceX’s profile and the long period of inactivity.
Wallet transfer not seen as a sell signalWhile the transaction amount is small, movements involving wallets tied to major companies like SpaceX are closely watched by market participants. On-chain data analysts suggest that such minor transfers are typically interpreted as address verification, custody infrastructure testing, or internal routing exercises, rather than signals of an imminent market sale.
Arkham Intelligence announced that a wallet labeled as SpaceX moved Bitcoin for the first time in six months, sending about $88 worth of BTC to another wallet also appearing to be connected to SpaceX.
Available data does not indicate that the recent activity is related to preparation for a sale. Given that both the sender and recipient wallets bear SpaceX labels, it is most likely an internal adjustment or operational check rather than a step towards liquidating assets.
Glossary: Arkham Intelligence is an on-chain data platform analyzing blockchain transactions and labeling possible links between wallets and institutions. Although these labels are closely tracked by the market, they do not serve as official company statements.
SpaceX’s Bitcoin holdings draw attentionMarket monitoring platforms have estimated that SpaceX currently holds approximately 18,712 BTC. At current prices, that equates to a total portfolio value of about $1.16 billion. The sum transferred in this latest transaction represents only a fraction of the company’s reported Bitcoin holdings.
ItemDataAmount sentApproximately $88Dormancy periodAbout 6 monthsTotal BTC holdings18,712 BTCEstimated total value$1.16 billionThe fact that the recipient wallet is also tagged as belonging to SpaceX further reinforces the view that funds were likely moved between company-controlled addresses. Large corporations often transfer assets between internal wallets for purposes such as security audits, access verification, or operational updates.
Timing heightens market interestThe timing of this small transfer has also garnered attention. Reports that SpaceX has recently completed its initial public offering and joined the Nasdaq 100 index, which tracks major non-financial companies, have increased the public visibility of the company in capital markets.
The current blockchain record shows movement between labeled wallets, but this information alone does not demonstrate that a sale has occurred.
At present, the incident highlights only a resumption of activity in a previously dormant Bitcoin address connected to SpaceX. Whether it signifies a broader transfer or a new treasury management strategy remains unclear and will be revealed by future on-chain movements.

SpaceX has transferred Bitcoin for the first time in six months, while its newly listed SPCX shares have fallen more than 25% from recent highs despite joining the Nasdaq-100.
Summary
SpaceX moved Bitcoin for the first time in six months, though the transfer was worth only $88. SPCX shares have fallen more than 25% despite the company’s fast-tracked Nasdaq-100 inclusion. JPMorgan estimates the index addition could drive about $4.3 billion in passive fund buying. According to Arkham Intelligence, a wallet linked to Elon Musk’s SpaceX moved just $88 worth of Bitcoin on July 8, ending a six-month period without on-chain activity. Although the transfer was tiny, it quickly fueled speculation across crypto markets because the company’s wallets have historically remained inactive for long periods.

— Arkham (@arkham) July 8, 2026 Arkham Intelligence data showed that SpaceX still holds about 18,712 BTC, worth roughly $1.16 billion at current prices. The receiving wallet now contains 614 BTC valued at about $38 million. The blockchain analytics platform also showed that the company’s previous major transfer involved more than 1,016 BTC worth nearly $100 million.
Why did a small Bitcoin transfer attract attention? While the latest transaction involved only a nominal amount, it arrived after a series of larger Bitcoin sales by corporate treasury holders. Strategy, MARA Holdings, Nakamoto Holdings, and Sequans Communications have all disclosed Bitcoin sales in recent weeks.
Last week, Strategy announced a Bitcoin sale worth about $216 million, adding to investor sensitivity around transfers from large institutional wallets.
Past activity has also added to the attention. Arkham Intelligence data indicates that outflows from SpaceX to unidentified wallets accelerated around the crypto market decline on Oct. 10 last year before slowing as the company’s attention turned toward its public listing.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin traded above $62,000 but remained nearly 2% lower on the day as geopolitical tensions weighed on risk assets. The decline followed renewed U.S.-Iran strikes, while President Donald Trump questioned whether the cease-fire between the two countries would hold after both sides exchanged fresh attacks.
Why has SPCX remained under pressure despite Nasdaq-100 inclusion? Selling pressure has continued in SpaceX shares even after the company secured a place in the Nasdaq-100. SPCX closed 6.83% lower at $149.47 on Tuesday after touching an intraday low of $148.86, leaving the stock below its IPO debut price and more than 25% below levels seen about a month ago. Premarket trading on Wednesday showed the shares edging up 0.49%.
Source: Yahoo Finance Nasdaq confirmed that SpaceX qualified for accelerated inclusion under revised eligibility rules that allow certain large newly listed companies to enter the Nasdaq-100 much sooner than previously permitted. The company officially joined the benchmark before the opening bell on July 7, making it one of the fastest IPOs to enter the technology-focused index.
According to JPMorgan, the index addition is expected to generate roughly $4.3 billion in compulsory buying by passive exchange-traded funds and other index-tracking portfolios that must rebalance their holdings to match the Nasdaq-100. Even with that expected inflow, investors continued taking profits after the stock’s strong rally following its market debut.
Wall Street has nevertheless remained constructive on the stock. As previously reported by crypto.news, analysts at Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup have initiated coverage on SpaceX with higher valuation targets.
Morgan Stanley has taken the most bullish stance, assigning a $300 price target while arguing that the company’s long-term growth prospects remain intact despite the recent pullback.
Pay for the premium tier of any centralized AI platform, and rate limits still hit during peak hours. That’s not a bug. It’s the ceiling every centralized AI platform eventually reaches, because one company’s data centers can only handle so much demand at once, no matter how much money gets thrown at the problem.
Arbitrum, Internet Computer, and Kaspa each tackle a different piece of crypto’s scaling puzzle, yet none were built specifically to solve AI’s compute bottleneck. For anyone tracking the next 100x crypto, that’s the gap Stargate LLM’s Grid is aimed at.
What Happens When One Company’s Servers Aren’t Enough Table of Contents
What Happens When One Company’s Servers Aren’t EnoughLG’s Enterprise Bet on Arbitrum Hasn’t Reached the Price YetA Trillion-Dollar Ambition, a $1.2 Billion RealityKaspa Rallied on Real News. Its Own Miners Sold Into the Move.Final Say The problem isn’t unique to any one AI platform. Rate limits during peak hours are the ceiling every centralized system eventually hits, because a single company’s data centers can only absorb so much demand regardless of the price tag attached to the premium tier. Stargate LLM‘s Grid takes a different structural approach: crowdsourcing compute from a distributed network of contributors instead of concentrating it inside one company’s server farms, so capacity grows as more people join rather than staying fixed to one balance sheet.
This is the pitch for power users and businesses who’ve personally hit a rate limit or a slowdown on a paid tier, an experience that’s rarely discussed publicly but genuinely frustrating: paying full price for capacity that isn’t reliably there the moment demand spikes. Stargate LLM’s chat, image generation, video generation, private search, and agent marketplace all sit on top of that distributed compute layer rather than a single data center somewhere.
The presale runs across ten pricing stages, from $0.0005 to $0.0125, on the way to a confirmed $0.025 launch price. Stage 1 carries a 50x ratio to that target, the widest gap in the entire structure. Total supply is fixed at 150 billion tokens. Of that, 96% goes to community, ecosystem, and presale participants, and just 1% sits with the core team.
For anyone genuinely hunting the next 100x crypto, a decentralized compute layer paired with a presale still priced before the wider market has weighed in is a different kind of bet than a token riding purely on speculation.
LG’s Enterprise Bet on Arbitrum Hasn’t Reached the Price Yet LG Electronics partnered with Arbitrum to build a custom Layer 2 blockchain for automating digital advertising transactions, completing a pilot with a Japanese advertising agency and evaluating a commercial rollout before the end of 2026.LG Electronics partnered with Arbitrum to develop a custom Layer 2 blockchain designed to automate the buying and selling of digital advertising, completing a pilot with a Japanese advertising agency.
That’s a real enterprise validation of Layer 2 technology. ARB trades near $0.08, roughly 97% below its all-time high of $2.40 set in January 2024, and a scheduled token unlock on July 16 will release close to 93 million ARB, adding fresh supply pressure right as the enterprise story is still building momentum.
A Trillion-Dollar Ambition, a $1.2 Billion Reality Internet Computer positions itself as sovereign, decentralized cloud infrastructure capable of hosting entire applications on-chain, aimed squarely at the trillion-dollar cloud computing market currently dominated by centralized providers.
The Internet Computer is a decentralized cloud blockchain that pursues the $1+ trillion cloud market, hosting apps, websites, and enterprise systems fully onchain. The ambition is genuinely large. The market cap isn’t. ICP trades near $2.14 to $2.18, with a total valuation just over $1.2 billion, sitting roughly 99.7% below its all-time high near $700.
Kaspa Rallied on Real News. Its Own Miners Sold Into the Move. Kaspa is trading near $0.030, with a market cap around $830 million, after a recent smart contract hard fork and network upgrade triggered a short-term price surge. As of Jul 7, 2026, Kaspa (KAS) is trading at $0.0302 with a market cap of $830.20M, having recently experienced short-term volatility due to a network upgrade and smart contract hard fork.
That surge has since run into resistance, and heavy miner distribution is adding sell pressure right as the technical setup tries to hold its gains.
Final Say A real enterprise partnership, a trillion-dollar ambition, and a genuine network upgrade, Arbitrum, Internet Computer, and Kaspa each have something legitimate behind this week’s price action, even if none of it has fully shown up in the charts yet.
None of the three was purpose-built to solve AI’s specific compute ceiling, which is exactly what Stargate LLM’s decentralized Grid is aimed at. Stage 1 remains open before the price steps up through nine more stages.
Four different bets on the same underlying question: whose infrastructure is actually built to scale with what comes next.

On-chain sleuth ZachXBT reported that LAB has plunged 85% over the past 24 hours, dropping from $14 to just under $2. At the $14 price level, its fully diluted valuation (FDV) reached $14 billion. Disappointingly, Binance, Bitget, and Gate failed to take action earlier to prevent this incident. He stated that if centralized exchanges (CEXs) truly prioritize their users, they should at minimum distribute profits generated by price-manipulating accounts to users. ZachXBT also added that LAB investor unlocks were originally scheduled to begin later this month, but multiple late-stage vesting period adjustments have occurred previously. He alleged that insiders control the entire circulating supply and have executed extreme price manipulation on CEXs through market makers. Trading LAB is not encouraged under any circumstances.

BNP Paribas: Merger between Tesla and SpaceX is far from imminent
BNP Paribas analysts have expressed doubt over the recent possibility of a merger between Tesla and SpaceX. "The massive cash burn and significant regulatory risks of both companies complicate a potential merger between SpaceX and Tesla," they stated. The investor sentiment for Tesla, which has improved amid merger speculation, may be overly optimistic, and the analysts maintained their "underperform" rating and $280 target price for the firm. "We are concerned that Tesla will face daunting KPIs in its robotaxi and Optimus businesses over the next two years, which will pose downside risks to its core operations before any SpaceX merger is actually realized."
