Track market-moving stories before they get noisy

Investors choosing between iShares Morningstar Small Cap Value ETF (ISCV 0.01%) and iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF (IWN +0.18%) must weigh the former's significantly lower expense ratio against the latter's massive liquidity and higher recent total returns.

Both ISCV and IWN serve as tools for investors seeking exposure to undervalued small-cap companies. While they share a similar mission, they use different indexing strategies and sampling techniques to capture the performance of the smaller-company value segment, resulting in distinct risk and reward profiles.

What this means for investorsIWN and ISCV have pretty comparable five-year returns. IWN has a higher expense ratio, but it's nothing outrageous. Both are well-diversified, with over a thousand stocks each, and the weightings are spread so that no single position accounts for more than 1% of either portfolio.

One area of contrast is their size. IWN has more than $14 billion in assets under management, while ISCV doesn't even crack the billion-dollar level. This size differential has knock-on effects. For example, IWN has far higher average trading volume than the Morningstar ETF. Some investors may therefore prefer IWN for its higher liquidity, even though it has a lower dividend yield.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westhaven Gold Corp. (TSX-V: WHN) (OTCQB: WTHVF) (FRA: 1W5) (“Westhaven” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the start of exploration at its Spences Bridge Gold Belt properties in southern British Columbia, including prospecting, geological mapping and soil sampling surveys on priority target areas at the Prospect Valley and Shovelnose properties, as well as mobilization of a fifth drill rig to the Shovelnose property in preparation for a 15,000m exploration drilling program expected to commence mid-month and continue through mid-December. With the start of exploration, the 2026 program is now combining potential resource growth through drilling and district scale exploration with project derisking through resource infill drilling and advancement of Pre-Feasibility studies (“PFS”). The ongoing 35,000m resource infill drilling program continues to confirm the continuity of mineralization within the South Zone deposit, including intersections of 9.8m grading 8.3 g/t Au and 11 g/t Ag (SNR26-83) and 11.46m grading 4.59 g/t Au and 43 g/t Ag (SNR26-92). This work is being funded under a strategic earn-in agreement with Dundee Corporation (“Dundee”), whereby Dundee may earn up to a 60% interest in Westhaven's four Spences Bridge Gold Belt properties through up to CDN$85,000,000 in staged project expenditures. Under the first phase, Dundee has committed a minimum of CDN$30,000,000, inclusive of a fully funded 50,000m drill program and PFS work at Shovelnose.

Ken Armstrong, President and CEO of Westhaven, commented:

“With resource infill drilling over 50% complete and PFS-related studies well underway at Shovelnose, we are pleased to have also started field exploration work at both the Shovelnose and Prospect Valley gold properties. Exploration is perhaps the most important component of our 2026 field programs with prospecting, mapping and soil sampling planned as well as 15,000m of exploration drilling focused on discovery of new gold-bearing epithermal mineralization at Shovelnose. The addition of a fifth drill will allow exploration drilling to start without impacting ongoing infill and technical drilling of the South Zone deposit. Three drills are currently focused on resource infill drilling, whereas the fourth drill completed a three hole (1,200m) hydrogeological program in early June, and is currently completing a four hole (1,260m) geotechnical drill program. Exploration drilling will initially focus on testing targets located proximal to the NW-trending structure hosting mineralization associated with the South Zone, FMN and Franz gold deposits.”

Spences Bridge Gold Belt 2026 Exploration Programs

In addition to the ongoing PFS studies, targeted exploration work has commenced on both the Shovelnose gold property and the Prospect Valley gold property, located 30km to the northwest of Shovelnose.

Prospecting, mapping and more detailed sampling are underway at priority targets located throughout the Shovelnose property, ahead of potential drill testing later this season. This field work follows on the successful completion of airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys (spring 2026) over the property’s expanded landholdings (acquired in 2024). The geophysical surveys were intended to support reconnaissance scale sampling undertaken by Westhaven in 2025 which identified spatially restricted areas with geological and geochemical similarities to known high grade gold-silver deposits elsewhere on the property. One area of particular focus is located approximately 15km southeast of the South Zone deposit, where silicified and clay altered volcanic rocks were identified in 2025 with float, subcrop and outcrop rock grab samples returning from background levels up to 2.45 g/t Au (96.2 g/t Ag). Please see Westhaven’s news release dated January 26, 2026.

Field work has also started at the Prospect Valley property, which hosts low sulphidation epithermal systems associated with the Discovery North, Discovery South, Dog Leg, NEZ and NIC occurrences, identified by previous, locally focussed, drill programs. During 2024 and 2025 Westhaven collected 389 rock samples and 121 stream sediment samples from underexplored areas of the 10,927-ha property, returning from background levels up to 2.76 g/t Au in rock samples and 1,795 ppb Au from a stream silt. Westhaven’s sampling also reconfirmed the presence of anomalous unsourced quartz breccia float samples from the Bonanza Valley area in the southwest corner of the property. Historic gold values returned from numerous float clasts in this area are higher than any encountered in drilling elsewhere on the Property (up to 43.34 g/t Au), and the bedrock source has yet to be located. Maximum gold values in new quartz float samples collected by Westhaven are up to 3.20 g/t Au.

Initial work completed so far in 2026 includes collection of over 75 soil samples from the Bonanza Valley area to better constrain possible source locations of these compelling float samples. Recent logging activities have also opened up new roads and areas of bedrock exposure that will be evaluated this field season.

South Zone Mineral Resource Infill Drilling

Assay results from the ongoing 35,000m resource infill drilling program at the South Zone deposit continue to show excellent continuity of mineralization in each of Vein Zones 1, 2 and 3. Results have been received from an additional 15 infill drill holes (Table 1), mainly testing narrower Vein Zone 2 and Vein Zone 3 mineralization in the northern part of the deposit. The resource drilling program has been designed to infill the deposit at nominal 25m centres with results to be included in an updated mineral resource estimate to support a PFS targeting completion in H2 2027. To date, 61 drill holes (18,925m) have been completed representing approximately 54% of the planned program metreage.

Selected assay highlights include:
  SNR26-79:4.28m grading 10.26 g/t Au & 57 g/t Ag from 115.50m downhole  SNR26-83:6.81m grading 7.72 g/t Au & 32 g/t Ag from 149.41m downhole; and 9.85m grading 8.30 g/t & 11 g/t Ag from 301.65m downhole  SNR26-87:8.22m grading 4.77 g/t Au & 61 g/t Ag from 115.78m downhole  SNR26-88:7.04m grading 2.92 g/t Au & 141 g/t Ag from 125.00m downhole  SNR26-92:11.46m grading 4.59 g/t Au & 43 g/t Ag from 160.54m downhole; and 4.86m grading 9.95 g/t Au & 86 g/t Ag from 305.15m downhole  SNR26-95:6.98m grading 6.48 g/t Au & 37 g/t Ag from 262.02m downhole   Assay intervals noted above represent downhole intersections, not true widths. True widths can be estimated at approximately 70-80% of the reported intervals. Table 1 shows assay results, including drill hole locations and orientations, and is also linked here.

Figure 1 shows the locations of the drill holes reported in this news release, as well as the other holes completed in 2026, the planned 2026 drill collar locations and the drill collars of pre-2026 drilling of the South Zone.

Sampling, Laboratory Analyses and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)

Most core samples consist of halved drill core cut by manual sawing using industry standard core saws. In rare cases, and where required by physical core conditions, manual splitting may be used. Half of the core is retained in the original core box for reference samples and any required future work, including QA/QC. Core samples, controlled by a unique bar-coded reference number, are delivered to ALS’s Kamloops facility and prepared using the PREP-31 package. Each core sample is crushed to better than 70% passing a 2mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.10) screen. A split of 250g is taken and pulverized to better than 85% passing a 75-micron (Tyler 200 mesh, US Std. No. 200) screen.

Further analytical and assay procedures are conducted in ALS’s North Vancouver facility. A 0.75g subsample of the pulverized split is subjected to four acid digestion and analyzed via ICP-MS (method code ME-MS61m (+Hg)) which reports a suite of 49 elements.

All samples are also analyzed for gold by fire assay with an AES finish, method code Au-ICP21 (30g sample size) or Au-ICP22 (50g sample size). Samples returning gold values over 10ppm are subjected to over-limit check assays using fire assay and a gravimetric finish (method code Au-GRA21 and a 30g sample size, or Au-GRAV22 and a 50g sample size). The switch to 50g aliquots applies to 2026 resource infill drill holes starting at, and including, SNR26-98. Other over-limit elements may also be subjected to ore grade analyses which vary depending on the element of interest.

ALS’s facilities are accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays, and all analytical methods include quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptance criteria.

QA/QC incorporates the laboratory’s internal quality assurance controls as well as Westhaven’s field controls, including the insertion of quarter core duplicates, certified reference materials and blanks, each at a rate of roughly one per 20-25 core samples.
Additional blanks are inserted following samples with visible gold or significant concentrations of ginguro (fine grained bands of dark gray to black sulphides).

QA/QC data are evaluated on receipt for failures, and appropriate action is taken if results for duplicates, standards and blanks fall outside allowed tolerances.

Westhaven’s ongoing QA/QC programs are consistent with industry best practices and include auditing of all exploration data. Any significant changes will be reported when available.

PHILADELPHIA, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National plaintiffs’ law firm Berger Montague PC announces a class action lawsuit against ChampionX Corporation (NASDAQ: CHX) (“ChampionX” or the “Company”) on behalf of investors who sold ChampionX common stock during the period from February 29, 2024 through April 1, 2024 (the “Class Period”).

Investor Deadline: Investors who sold ChampionX common stock during the Class Period may, no later than July 14, 2026, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class. To learn your rights, CLICK HERE.

Prior to its acquisition by SLB in July 2025, ChampionX, headquartered in The Woodlands, TX, was a provider of chemistry solutions and technologies serving the global oil and gas sector.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, ChampionX purchased Company shares at artificially depressed prices due to material non-public information. Specifically, defendants allegedly failed to disclose that: (i) ChampionX had received an unsolicited, non-public acquisition offer from SLB; (ii) ChampionX had an obligation to either disclose the offer or abstain from repurchasing its shares; and (iii) while those offers were on the table and unknown to the investing public, ChampionX was repurchasing its common stock at market prices significantly below the prices offered by SLB.

On February 29, 2024, ChampionX received an unsolicited, non-public offer from SLB to acquire all outstanding shares at $36.70 per share. On March 7, 2024, SLB raised its offer to $37.80 per share. During the Class Period, ChampionX’s average stock price was $33.32 per share — significantly below the undisclosed offer prices.

On April 2, 2024, during pre-market hours, ChampionX disclosed the merger with SLB. The merger eventually closed on July 16, 2025, with SLB acquiring ChampionX for $40.58 per share.

Whisker Labs' Ting sensors support Kingstone's proactive approach to loss prevention, offered at no cost to eligible New York policyholders through vipHomeLink July 07, 2026 08:30 ET  | Source: Kingstone Companies

KINGSTON, N.Y., July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kingstone Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: KINS) (“Kingstone” or the “Company”), a regional property and casualty insurance holding company, today announced a new loss-prevention initiative under which its principal operating subsidiary, Kingstone Insurance Company (“KICO”), will provide Ting smart sensors and three years of electrical fire prevention service at no cost to eligible New York homeowners insurance policyholders. The program, enabled through Kingstone’s new partnership with vipHomeLink, a homeowner engagement and prevention platform serving the insurance industry, reflects the Company’s continued focus on proactive risk management and policyholder engagement.

“Our policyholders trust us to help protect their homes and families, and we take that responsibility very seriously,” said Meryl Golden, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kingstone. “The best claim is the one that never happens, both for the family involved and for the quality of our book of business. By offering Ting at no cost through our partnership with vipHomeLink, we are helping homeowners identify hidden electrical fire hazards before they become devastating losses.”

The Ting program extends the disciplined approach to risk management that underpins Kingstone’s operating model. Alongside the Company’s focus on risk selection, rate adequacy, and claims execution, proactive loss prevention is intended to help reduce the frequency and severity of avoidable losses over time. Electrical fires and water-related damage are among the most common and costly homeowner perils, and Ting’s electrical fire hazard detection and frozen pipe alerts are designed to help address both.

Ting is a plug-in sensor and fire prevention service from Whisker Labs designed to detect electrical fire hazards. Using advanced sensing and intelligence, Ting helps detect hidden electrical fire hazards that can originate from incoming power, plugged-in devices, wiring behind walls, and appliances. When a hazard is detected, Ting’s Fire Safety Team works directly with the homeowner to help resolve the problem. Ting also provides power outage and frozen pipe risk alerts, extending prevention beyond fire to help reduce other common and costly home risks.

“Electrical fire hazards are often hidden until it’s too late,” said Bob Marshall, Co-Founder and CEO of Whisker Labs. “Together with Kingstone Insurance Company and vipHomeLink, we’re helping more families take a proactive step towards prevention.”

According to the National Fire Protection Association, an electrical fire occurs in a U.S. home approximately every 10 minutes. Whisker Labs reports that Ting helps prevent approximately four out of five electrical fires, is used by more than one million homeowners and, to date, has helped prevent more than 30,000 potentially devastating fires.

“We’re pleased to welcome Kingstone as a new prevention partner and to support its policyholders,” said Geoff Martin, CEO & Co-Founder of vipHomeLink. “By including Ting in Kingstone’s loss prevention strategy, alongside the vipHome.app experience, we’re able to provide homeowners with proactive tools, timely reminders, and insights that help them reduce risk and make their homes safer.”

Kingstone’s Ting program is expected to launch in July 2026.

New cyber resilience simulation lets participants create and experience a realistic Frontier AI cyberattack before one hits their organization

, /PRNewswire/ -- Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a leader in unified resilience at enterprise scale, today announced "Commvault Minutes to Recovery" – a scenario-driven cyber resilience simulation that lets participants act as a hacker and run their own attacks using Frontier AI tools. Then, participants are challenged to defend against and recover from an incident under pressure to test their resilience against these AI-driven cyberattacks.

The window between vulnerability discovery and active exploitation, once measured in days, has narrowed to 29 minutes in 2025, 65% faster than the year before.1 As attacks become significantly quicker, organizations need more than recovery plans – they need proven recovery readiness.

Commvault Minutes to Recovery is a hands-on, live simulation that allows security and IT teams to stress test their readiness for Frontier AI threats under real-world conditions. In the first of three chapters, the participants take the role of an attacker and create an AI-driven attack using the common Frontier AI tools deployed by adversaries today. This will give attendees realistic insights into how AI-accelerated attacks behave, how fast they move, how personalized the phishing is, and how quickly backup infrastructure gets targeted.

The attendees then flip their roles and need to defend the AI-driven attack by making real-time detection decisions under pressure, with incomplete information and competing priorities. Finally, they take over the role of the recovery expert who will have to bring back the systems and data in a verified clean state without bringing the threat back with it.

Moving through these three roles, attendees will develop a firsthand understanding of what each phase demands and where cross-team coordination breaks down under real pressure. This experience will help teams uncover critical technical and operational weaknesses in recovery plans, strengthen cross-functional coordination, and build confidence in their ability to respond effectively when an incident occurs.

Available globally as an onsite event and delivered in six languages, Minutes to Recovery is completed in a single two-hour session. The resulting Mean Time to Clean Recovery (MTCR) benchmark provides a practical measure of recovery readiness based on performance under pressure rather than assumptions in a planning document.

"The question organizations need to answer is no longer, 'Do we have a recovery plan?' Instead, they should be asking, 'Can we prove it will work under pressure?'" said Anna Griffin, Chief Market Officer at Commvault. "As AI compresses the time between compromise and impact, resilience becomes a measurable business capability. Minutes to Recovery helps organizations move beyond assumptions and demonstrate their ability to recover cleanly, quickly and with confidence."

Partner engagement opportunity

Minutes to Recovery will also be available through Commvault's global partner network, enabling partners to host and engage customers in strategic resilience discussions through a hands-on, outcome-driven experience.

For partners, the event provides a turnkey, high-engagement customer experience backed by Commvault's facilitation infrastructure and the credentialed expertise of the Commvault Global Speaker Bureau.

"Most organizations believe they are prepared for a cyberattack until they are forced to respond to one in real time," said Allen Downs, Vice President of Security and Resiliency, Kyndryl. "As cyberattacks become faster, more sophisticated, and increasingly unpredictable, recovery strategies must evolve to meet this new reality. By leveraging this experience, Kyndryl can help customers strengthen their readiness, validate their resilience, and improve their ability to recover from disruption. Ultimately, resilience is not defined by the plans organizations create, but by the scenarios they have rigorously tested."

Secures critical supply chain for deployment and scale: Locks in steam turbine and generator supply to support FOAK execution and global NOAK rollout

Integrates proven Howden turbine technology, reducing technical risk and accelerating standardized deployment

Supports scalable multi-unit deployments delivering ~3-15 MWe from a common turbine platform

NEW YORK, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terra Innovatum Global N.V. ("Terra Innovatum" or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NKLR), a developer of micro-modular nuclear reactors, and Howden Turbo GmbH (“Howden”), a global leader in steam turbine technology and a division of Chart Industries, Inc. (NYSE: GTLS), today announced the execution of a steam turbine and power generator procurement order for Terra Innovatum’s SOLO™ micro‑modular reactor platform.

The agreement secures a long-term supply of critical secondary-side equipment for Terra Innovatum’s First-of-a-Kind (“FOAK”) SOLO™ reactor, targeted for deployment in Illinois by 2027, and supports subsequent Nth-of-a-Kind (“NOAK”) global commercialization. Terra Innovatum has already selected its FOAK site at Rock City Admiral Parkway Development in Illinois and has entered into non-binding MOUs for up to 100 SOLO™ units worldwide.

As customer interest accelerates across AI infrastructure, industrial facilities and resilient distributed power applications, securing long-lead equipment and experienced manufacturing partners is becoming an increasingly important competitive differentiator. This agreement represents another step in Terra Innovatum's strategy of establishing the industrial supply chain needed to support commercial deployment at scale.

Through this collaboration, Terra Innovatum and Howden have adapted and optimized Howden’s proven steam turbine technology to meet the specific requirements of the SOLO™ reactor, which is designed as a one‑megawatt‑electric, helium‑cooled micro‑reactor powered by commercially available low‑enriched uranium fuel. The work aligns performance, efficiency, and modular integration to support standardized deployment across sites and leverages Terra Innovatum’s fabless supply chain model, which uses established nuclear manufacturers rather than new in‑house facilities, to accelerate industrialization. In parallel, the companies are defining commercial frameworks, production ramp‑up capacity, lead-time reduction strategies, and modular skid configurations to enable rapid, high-volume rollout of SOLO™ reactors and associated balance‑of‑plant equipment.

The partnership also supports flexible system architectures by integrating multiple SOLO™ units with a common Howden turbine platform to deliver scalable output in the ~3 to 15 MWe range, addressing applications from data centers and industrial facilities to remote mini‑grids. Together, these efforts are intended to shorten deployment timelines and lower lifecycle cost through repeatable, standardized production, supporting Terra Innovatum’s goal of FOAK deployment in 2027 and broader commercialization beginning in 2028.

Marco Cherubini, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Terra Innovatum, stated: “Strategically aligning with Howden gives us access to a proven track record and decades of deep expertise in steam turbine technology, particularly in the power range suited for SOLO. Their reliability and engineering experience significantly de-risk both our FOAK deployment and long-term NOAK scaling.”

Volker Brakel, Head of Steam Turbines at Howden, added: “Terra Innovatum’s SOLO concept stands out for its rapid path to market and strong scalability. Its modular architecture and ability to combine multiple units enable flexible power solutions while providing the deployment visibility needed to plan production and build a robust industrial roadmap. A deployable micro-modular reactor with clear market timing creates a strong foundation for long-term growth and collaboration.”

On Jan. 2, Bloom Energy (BE +8.64%) opened at $90.57. When the first six months of 2026 wrapped up on June 30, shares closed at $302.70, up more than 234%.

If you invested $5,000 in Bloom at the start of the year, that investment has worked out well. With such a strong performance, however, the catch is that people keep expecting it, making it harder to live up to those expectations.

Image source: Getty Images.

What is that $5,000 investment worth today? With many online brokers offering fractional share investing, investors have greater flexibility when buying a stock. They are no longer confined to buying whole shares, and on Robinhood Markets, for instance, investors can buy as little as $1 worth of a stock, subject to certain restrictions.

For Bloom, opening at $90.57 on Jan. 2, a $5,000 investment would yield about 55 shares. At the June 30 closing price of $302.70, that $5,000 investment would be worth $16,709.

What's helped propel those gains has been a strong financial performance. Bloom has been known for its consistent revenue growth, so while increasing revenue 130.4% to $751.1 million was impressive, that kind of growth hasn't been unusual for Bloom.

What did stand out, however, was a turn toward profitability. In the first quarter of 2025, Bloom reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $23.8 million, but in Q1 2026, it reported a net profit of $70.6 million.

What's promising for the rest of the year and beyond? Last October, Bloom announced it was collaborating with Brookfield Asset Management to design and deliver AI factories, with Brookfield investing $5 billion to deploy Bloom's fuel cell technology.

Then on June 30, Brookfield announced it was expanding that investment to $25 billion. This not only provides more validation for Bloom's on-site power strategy but also helps bring in more long-term business that can start showing up in earnings reports as backlog demand.

Investment considerations Bloom continues to defy expectations, with the stock price skyrocketing more than 1,000% over the last 12 months. It can continue to reward shareholders over the next several years as power demand for data centers and other business sectors grows and Bloom moves toward consistent profitability.

That said, pullbacks in the Bloom stock price can be sharp and swift, as the stock trades at levels significantly more volatile than the broader markets. Also, any slowdown in power needs from AI infrastructure projects will deeply impact Bloom's business. That makes Bloom a candidate for long-term investing, given the ups and downs it will experience, rather than just owning it to chase past results.

FICO’s Homeownership Survey shows that 74% of prospective buyers report being financially blocked from buying a home this year amid current interest rates and rising home prices

BOZEMAN, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FICO (NYSE:FICO), global analytics software leader, today announced the results of the FICO Homeownership Survey, a new study that uncovers the financial barriers, knowledge opportunities and behavioral shifts impacting prospective homebuyers (defined as Americans who plan to buy a home in the next 12 months). From high home prices and rising interest rates, prospective buyers – especially first-time homebuyers – are facing multiple financial and economic stressors and as a result, report struggling to unlock their dreams of homeownership.

FICO’s Homeownership Survey shows most Americans who don’t own a home say homeownership feels out of reach

Share The research, conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of FICO, also found that prospective homebuyers are eager for tools and financial education to help them feel more prepared to enter the market.

“Buying a home is one of the most significant financial decisions a person can make, yet for many Americans, rising home prices and interest rates are putting that goal further out of reach," said Jenelle Dito, vice president of consumer empowerment and partnership at FICO. “These economic pressures aren't just discouraging buyers — they're fundamentally changing how Americans plan and prepare for this milestone. Prospective buyers, especially those entering the market for the first time, are delaying plans, adjusting expectations and navigating a process that many find confusing.”

Key findings from the FICO Homeownership Survey include:

Homeownership Feels Out of Reach for Most Americans Who Don’t Own a Home: Americans most commonly say owning a home represents independence (57%) and financial stability (53%), while first-time homebuyers (defined as those who have never owned a home) most commonly see it as achieving a major life milestone (49%). Yet despite these aspirations, 62% of Americans who don’t currently own a home — and 57% of first-time homebuyers — say homeownership feels out of reach for them today. Just 15% of Americans plan to buy a home in the next 12 months. High Home Prices and Interest Rates Are the Top Barriers: Three quarters (74%) of prospective homebuyers, and 85% of first-time homebuyers, say financial obstacles have prevented them from buying a home this year, with high home prices (34%) and high interest rates (33%) ranking as the top two barriers. Financial pressures are causing 74% of prospective homebuyers — and 85% of first-time homebuyers — to delay or reconsider their plans to purchase in the next 12 months. Rising interest rates alone have influenced the home-buying decisions of 51% of all Americans, 73% of prospective homebuyers and 81% of first-time homebuyers, with many either exploring more affordable markets (18%, 30%, 34%, respectively) or pausing their plans altogether (20%, 30%, 26%, respectively). Confusion About the Homebuying Process and Credit Exist: Nearly 3 in 5 Americans (59%) say they don't completely understand the steps involved in buying a home — a figure that rises to 64% among first-time homebuyers. At the same time, the overwhelming majority (85%) of Americans view credit score management as a wealth-building strategy, not just a borrowing tool. And, while 84% of Americans claim to understand how their credit score affects mortgage eligibility, about 1 in 5 (22%) underestimate or are unsure of its impact on mortgage rates. This confusion may be influencing the financial inaction of Americans as 17% of prospective homebuyers haven't taken steps to improve their credit score ahead of a purchase, and more than a quarter (26%) haven't encouraged their co-applicant to do the same. “The path to homeownership starts with understanding your financial readiness, yet our research shows many Americans — particularly first-time buyers — are still navigating that process without clear guidance,” added Dito. “Consumers don’t need to wait to take action. By better understanding their FICO Score and the role it plays in mortgage access and affordability, they can start building a stronger foundation for homeownership.”

Survey Method

This survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of FICO from June 4-8, 2026 among 3,047 U.S. adults ages 18 and older, among whom 449 plan to buy a home in the next 12 months, of which 175 are first-time homebuyers. The sampling precision of Harris online polls is measured by using a Bayesian credible interval. For this study, the sample data is accurate to within +/- 2.7 percentage points using a 95% confidence level. This credible interval will be wider among subsets of the surveyed population of interest.

By combining modern design, integrated rewards and advanced technology, we will deliver a more personalized and complete mobile banking experience."

Personalized Banking Experience

The new PNC Mobile app introduces a streamlined interface with improved navigation, faster load times and a highly customizable design that adapts to each user. Clients can tailor the app by organizing and prioritizing accounts, adjusting their dashboard, and selecting display preferences such as light or dark mode, as well as language options. This flexibility enables clients to interact with their money on their own terms.

The updated design reflects direct client feedback and introduces a cleaner layout, intuitive navigation and interactive elements that make it easier to move through the app and complete tasks efficiently. These enhancements create a more responsive and engaging experience while maintaining familiarity across devices.

Built on Modern Technology Leveraging Agentic Software Development

The PNC Mobile app is powered by a next-generation technology platform designed for speed, scalability and continuous innovation. Built using PNC's agentic development system and leveraging PNC's patented data-streaming microservices-based architecture, the mobile app can be rapidly updated and enhanced with new features and capabilities reflecting client feedback and PNC innovation.

"The new app reflects a fundamental shift in how we build and deliver digital experiences," said Tom Kunz, head of Retail Digital and Payments. "By leveraging modern engineering practices and next-generation technology, we've created a scalable foundation that allows us to rapidly innovate and optimize the mobile experience for our clients."

The platform is designed to support embedded generative AI capabilities that will further personalize the client experience, including intelligent assistance, proactive insights and enhanced self-service functionality that will be expanded over time. The app is further strengthened by PNC's access to advanced frontier AI models which are used to enhance the fidelity, safety and resiliency of the software development process. This capability enables a higher degree of precision in how software is designed, tested and validated to help ensure that rapid innovation is matched by rigorous security controls and production-grade quality.

Driving Engagement, Scale, and Growth

PNC's existing mobile platform, which serves 8 million clients and 150 million monthly sessions, has been expanding rapidly, with active users growing 8% year-over-year in the first quarter. The modernization is expected to further accelerate adoption and usage by making it even easier for clients to bank with PNC digitally.

Taking an omni-channel approach, PNC has prepared its branch network, business banking teams and customer care centers to support clients throughout the transition. In-app tutorials and guided experiences are designed to help users quickly become familiar with the updated navigation and features, ensuring a smooth and confident onboarding to the new platform.

"Each enhancement is grounded in how clients actually bank day-to-day," said Overstrom. "From faster interactions to more intuitive navigation, we're delivering a mobile experience that feels simple, responsive and built around real financial needs."

Clients will automatically receive the new experience through the Apple App Store or Google Play as it becomes available to them. No action is required beyond ensuring the app is kept up to date.

Crypto gaming company Yield Guild Games says it has shut down its crypto game publishing arm, YGG Play, and will instead focus on feeding data to artificial intelligence.

Yield Guild Games said Monday that it would also lay off 35 employees, adding that a prolonged crypto market downturn and a “similarly brutal” video game publishing market meant YGG Play “cannot be commercially sustainable.”

It said a major market crash on Oct. 10 “fundamentally altered retail market psychology, and we do not expect the crypto consumer market or the Web3 games publishing market to recover sufficiently in the near term.”

The layoffs add to the more than 5,000 jobs that crypto companies have cut this year, with many citing a crypto market slump and a refocus toward opportunities presented by artificial intelligence.

“Sunsetting YGG Play is a heavy decision, but it is a market decision, not a product decision,” Yield Guild Games co-founder Gabby Dizon said. “I am proud of what this team achieved under such tough conditions.”

Source: Yield Guild Games

Yield Guild Games said it would be closing YGG Play’s website, its web app that launched games and its community-focused rewards site. It would also end all marketing support for third-party games.

The company’s board game-style browser game LOL Land and its puzzle game Waifu Sweeper would also be taken down. The Web3 versions of the baseball game GIGACHADBAT and the battle game Ragnarok Breaker would continue as normal.

The company said sunsetting YGG Play and its restructure would extend its operating runway to four years, adding it had $20.6 million in its treasury as of the end of the first quarter.

Yield Guild pivots to AI dataYield Guild Games said it would refocus its resources “into the AI data economy” to provide information that can be used to train AI models.

It will initially create a pipeline for gaming datasets, and said its global community “can generate these behavioral datasets just by playing.”

The company said it was “an organic next step” and the data would help AI networks understand “human irrationality and emergent behavior,” as video game players “constantly make complex, split-second decisions.”

More than 5,000 crypto layoffs in 2026The crypto industry has cut over 5,000 jobs so far this year, with Block Inc. undertaking the largest round of layoffs in February by cutting 4,000 staff, or about half its workforce at the time.

Last month, crypto infrastructure company BitGo laid off 15% of its staff, an estimated 90 people, while Robinhood cut 10% of its workforce.

Earlier in the year, Kraken laid off 150 workers, and Coinbase cut 700 employees. Gemini also laid off 200 employees in February and Crypto.com cut about 180 staff a month later, both citing the use of AI.

Yield Guild Games will shut down YGG Play, its crypto game publishing arm, after deciding the business is no longer commercially sustainable. 

Summary

Yield Guild Games is cutting 35 jobs and closing YGG Play after weak gaming demand. YGG will focus on gaming datasets for AI after extending total runway to four years. The shutdown adds to crypto layoffs as firms shift resources toward automation and AI products. The company blamed weak crypto market conditions and a difficult video game publishing market.

YGG said the Oct. 10 market crash changed retail trading behavior and reduced the liquidity that many consumer crypto apps need. It said Bitcoin later fell below $60,000, while several altcoins lost 80% or more from prior levels.

The company said YGG Play had shown early traction before conditions worsened. It signed nine games, worked with intellectual property brands such as Pudgy Penguins, launched a publishing platform, and passed $9 million in lifetime revenue by the end of the first quarter of 2026.

35 staff affected by restructuring The shutdown will affect 35 workers across different teams. YGG said it would help those employees find new roles and invited companies to contact it for hiring referrals.

Today, we are sharing some difficult news with our community: after much consideration, we have made the decision to sunset @YGG_Play, YGG’s publishing arm.

— Yield Guild Games (@YieldGuild) July 6, 2026 The company will retire the YGG Play website, launchpad, and community rewards platform. It will also stop marketing support for third-party games. LOL Land and Waifu Sweeper will be taken down, while GIGACHADBAT and Ragnarok Breaker will continue through their own studios.

“Sunsetting YGG Play is a heavy decision, but it is a market decision, not a product decision,” said YGG co-founder Gabby Dizon.

He added that the company remains focused on using technology to create economic opportunities.

Sad news today – we are sunsetting our Web3 game publishing unit @YGG_Play, and 35 jobs will be affected as a result. We're committed to paying 8 additional weeks for our team to manage the transition and will help them find new roles.

YGG Play games – @LOLLandGame @waifusweeper… https://t.co/gzpaG98KwQ

— Gabby Dizon | YGG (@gabusch) July 6, 2026 Company turns toward AI data YGG said it will now move resources into the AI data economy. Its first focus will be a business-to-business pipeline for gaming datasets that can help train AI models.

The company said games can produce useful data because players make fast and complex decisions during play. YGG said its global community can help create behavioral datasets by playing games and completing related tasks.

YGG also pointed to its AI Alerts channel, formerly YGG Alerts, as part of the new direction. The company said the channel has already brought in 27,000 applications in its first five days by connecting Filipino workers with remote AI training jobs.

Crypto and gaming layoffs continue The move adds to broader job cuts across crypto and gaming. As previously reported, Kraken cut about 150 jobs as AI tools took on a larger role across the exchange. Coinbase, Gemini, and Dune also reduced staff this year while reshaping operations.

In addition, BitGo cut nearly 15% of its workforce while shifting focus toward security, trading, stablecoins, settlement, and AI infrastructure. The cuts showed how crypto firms have continued to review costs after weaker market conditions.

The web3 gaming sector has also faced pressure. As previously reported, blockchain gaming activity fell in 2025 as user numbers dropped, funding slowed, and hundreds of gaming apps went inactive.

YGG said its treasury stood at $20.6 million at the end of the first quarter. It held $6.2 million in stablecoins, T-bills, and large-cap tokens. The company said the restructuring extends its operating runway to four years.

Investors who saw Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) stock’s early 2025 crash amidst a wider semiconductor boom as a buying opportunity and purchased the equity in the summer of that year would have, by July 7, 2026, seen remarkable returns on their trade.

Specifically, MRVL shares were changing hands at $71.55 on July 7, 2025, while, at press time, they stand 229.11% higher at $235.48. Thanks to the rally, $1,000 worth of Marvell stock bought a year ago would have turned into a stake worth $3,291.13 for a $2,291.13 profit.

Marvell stock price 12-month chart. Source: Google For comparison, the same amount invested in the S&P 500 benchmark index would have grown by $209.90 to $1,209.90. 

Still, despite its success, an MRVL trade 12 months ago would have been less successful than buying Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) – which is up 455% within the timeframe – or AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) – which rallied 309% – though it would have beaten an Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) investment as the world’s largest company is up 23%.

Additionally, purchasing any chipmaker would have been a worse investment than seeking profits in the memory sector, given the 52-week strength of companies such as SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK).

What is next for Marvell Stock in 2026 Elsewhere, despite Marvell stock remaining significantly higher than it stood a year ago or even at the start of 2026, it suffered a substantial correction from its June highs.

Indeed, MRVL shares saw their rally accelerate at the very end of May as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang opined the firm could become the world’s next trillion-dollar company, leading to a rapid rise from approximately $205 to an all-time high (ATH) of $329.88.

The upsurge, however, proved unsustainable, with Marvell’s rise being closely linked with other major technology firms involved with the artificial intelligence (AI) rally and with the entire industry hitting a rough patch in the sixth month of 2026.

Indeed, retail and enterprise backlash in the way AI usage was billed triggered a destabilizing debate over the costs and benefits of the technology and led to widespread allegations that corporations were shifting their approach from maximizing to minimizing token usage.

By early July, reports that Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) is considering starting to rent out its excess capacity provided additional headwinds since they called into question the actual balance between compute supply and demand following, on the one hand, setbacks in data center construction, and, on the other, the vast capital expenditures dedicated to said infrastructure.

Short sellers are often among the most disciplined investors on Wall Street, willing to sell into markets that everyone else is buying.

The question is what happens when the short sellers get the story wrong. The answer is often a sharp stock price correction. In this case, the correction would be to higher levels, because a broken bear thesis can be good news for investors.

Price Target$8.56

Wendy’s NASDAQ: WEN is a high-profile short-squeeze candidate with its 33% short interest a target of meme-stock investors. The cause for short interest is simple: struggling growth, margin pressures, and lack of traction following managerial missteps. The caveat for short-sellers is that their view is often rear-oriented, focused on past results and fails to account for strategic shifts. As it stands, short interest is likely to remain high, keeping pressure on the market, but catalysts ahead could trigger a squeeze.

Among them is new CEO Bob Wright. He is not only a veteran of Wendy’s, having served in several capacities before moving on to new opportunities, but is also credited with reinvigorating other brands. Those include Potbelly Corporation, which he grew and later sold for a profit. Among the efforts at Wendy’s are store-count rationalization, unlocking international growth opportunities and prioritizing digital-first storefronts. Evidence of his impact may be seen in the Q2 earnings release expected in mid-August.

Digital is a critical factor, expected to drive strength on both the top and bottom lines, with impacts evident quickly after deployments. Notable success stories utilizing a digital-heavy presence include industry leader McDonald’s, which underpins store traffic and growth with digital; Chipotle Mexican Grill, which does the same, also utilizing digital to unlock margin; and Starbucks, which is following in Chipotle’s footsteps.

Headwinds for Wendy’s stock price include analysts' sentiment, but take that with a grain of salt. While analysts have reduced ratings and price targets over the trailing 12 months, lowering the consensus to Reduce, the internal data are not uniformly bearish. Coverage remains solid, with 24 analysts tracked and ratings spread across Buy, Hold and Sell or equivalent categories. The price target, likewise, reflects a wide range of outcomes, given that the low end sets a floor near 2026’s lows, with the low end setting a floor near 2026’s lows and the high end forecasting substantial upside if the turnaround gains traction.

AST SpaceMobile’s Liquidity Supports Future GrowthAST SpaceMobile Today

AST Space Mobile NASDAQ: ASTS is another high-profile short-squeeze candidate with short interest trending higher, hitting record levels in 2026 and running hot at above 20%. Short sellers are leaning into this trade because of cash burn, high valuation, and execution risk, as highlighted by the loss of the BlueBird 7 satellite. It failed to reach proper orbit through no fault of its own. The biggest impact is on the timing of service rollout, but it is limited. Not only will the company recoup the loss through insurance, but subsequent satellites are forecast to approach twice the peak speeds.

What the shorts get wrong is that this near-term execution story is backed up by solid institutional support and long-term contracts with tier-one 5G service providers. It underpins a shift in coverage from land-based towers, which limit service, to space-based direct-to-phone 5G access and global coverage for everyone, all the time. It is mission-critical to future telecommunications, including bridging the infrastructure gap between ground- and space-based operations.

AST Space Mobile’s reported analyst rating is equally misleading. Pegged at Reduce, the bulk of the 10 ratings MarketBeat tracks are Hold or better, with the consensus target forecasting a modest upside. Upcoming catalysts include the August earnings release, in which strategic progress is expected. Among the critical details will be the cash burn, which the bears will highlight, and the cash position, which is sufficient to sustain operations for the foreseeable future. Not only does the company have nearly $4 billion in liquidity, but many of its projects also benefit from non-dilutive government awards.

Looking ahead, ASTS has a moat that should ensure its long-term success. By focusing on Earth-bound frequencies, massive space-based “cell towers," and direct-to-phone connections, it can provide infrastructure rather than compete with the major carriers. In this light, its more than 40 existing agreements with carriers, including Verizon NYSE: VZ and Vodafone, provide instant, no-cost access to millions of subscribers itching for better, more consistent coverage. Starlink, which would like a piece of the action, is still years behind, having focused on different technology for its space-based internet service.

Onsemi makes power and sensing chips used ​in electric vehicles, factories and AI data centers.

The move ⁠is part of its "Fab Right" strategy to cut ​costs, improve efficiency and direct resources toward its most ​competitive and scalable operations, the company said.

Onsemi's facility in Tarlac, Philippines will be sold to Taiwanese chip firm Greatek Electronics, ​which specializes in semiconductor packaging and testing. The ​deal is expected to close in the next three to six ‌months.

Its ⁠Mountain Top, Pennsylvania, site will go to Swedish semiconductor company Silex Microsystems; the transaction is expected to close in January 2028, giving Onsemi time to move production ​to other ​facilities.

The company ⁠did not disclose the financial terms of the deals.

Both sites will keep running ​during their transition periods, and Onsemi has ​agreed ⁠to a long-term supply deal with Greatek to ensure customers are not disrupted.

Together, the sales are expected to ⁠save ​Onsemi around $35 million annually, with initial ​savings beginning in 2027 and the full benefit realized in 2028.
