Airbnb is reportedly testing a service that lets guests order groceries from Instacart.

The house-sharing company will offer “kitchen stocking” as part of a three-month pilot program starting Jan. 5, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday (Nov. 12), citing an email sent to some Airbnb hosts.

During this period, Airbnb will pay hosts $25 for every completed order — as well as a $100 bonus for their first order — if they receive guests’ preorders and stock their kitchens before they check in.

The program is open to select hosts with available listings in Phoenix, Orlando and Los Angeles, the report added. Guests will be allowed to place an Instacart order within the Airbnb app up to three weeks before their stay, an Instacart spokesperson told Bloomberg.

The report also cited a comment from an Airbnb spokesperson that the company is “regularly testing new product updates, categories and initiatives, in order to provide the best possible experience for our community.”

As Bloomberg noted, integration with Airbnb marks the latest “embedded partnership” that Instacart has launched in recent weeks, as the company looks to boost orders and strengthen customer loyalty in the face of growing competition from DoorDash and Uber.

For example, the company recently teamed with Grubhub, letting that platform’s customers order goods from Instacart’s network of grocery stores and pharmacies within the Grubhub app or website.

The partnership is also happening at a time when the “appetite for digital grocery shopping continues to grow,” as PYMNTS wrote earlier this week after Instacart reported earnings for the third quarter of the year.

Those results showed strong gains in orders and transaction volumes, underlining the durability of its delivery model and its changing role as a technology partner for the grocery sector.

The company’s orders rose 14% year over year to 83.4 million, while gross transaction value (GTV) increased 10% to $9.2 billion, Instacart said in a letter to shareholders. Revenue came to $939 million, slightly above Wall Street forecasts, as Instacart’s core marketplace continued to draw more frequent and bigger baskets from returning shoppers.

Instacart CEO Chris Rogers said in the letter that the company’s scale and technology investments are reinforcing its position as a “technology and enablement partner for the grocery industry,” extending beyond delivery.

Rogers told analysts during a conference call that consumer demand was still resilient, with Instacart enticing new shoppers while retaining existing customers at higher rates.

374Water Inc (NASDAQ:SCWO) said on Wednesday it expects revenue to rise to between $6 million and $8 million in 2026 as the company accelerates commercialization of its Super Critical Water Oxidation (SCWO) technology and expands partnerships across North America.

The company, a developer of sustainable waste destruction systems, reported third-quarter revenue of $760,000, up sharply from $81,000 a year earlier, driven by new service contracts and growing demand for PFAS waste treatment.

Interim CEO Stephen Jones said 374Water’s recent projects demonstrate the commercial readiness of its AirSCWO technology, which destroys per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — so-called “forever chemicals” — from industrial and municipal waste streams.

“Looking ahead, we are focused on successful waste destruction of PFAS and other waste streams utilizing our AirSCWO system at current project deployments and accelerating the conversion of a growing pipeline of opportunities,” Jones said.

The company highlighted several recent milestones, including the completion of a Department of Defense-backed PFAS destruction project at Clean Earth’s Detroit facility, and a collaboration with Crystal Clean, a leading environmental services provider, to scale its Waste Destruction Services (WDS) business. The partnership is expected to support multiple new WDS operations at treatment and disposal facilities across North America.

374Water also secured an order from the City of Olathe, Kansas, to install an AirSCWO 6 system for sustainable wastewater treatment and began a state-funded project in North Carolina to destroy aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF).

To support expansion, 374Water raised about $7 million through its at-the-market facility, extending its cash runway into the second quarter of 2026.

“Our goal is to establish recurring revenue streams through our WDS business and expand our footprint across key market verticals,” Jones added.

The company reaffirmed its 2025 full-year revenue projection of about $4 million and said it remains focused on advancing SCWO as a scalable, sustainable solution for PFAS and other complex waste challenges.

HOUSTON, Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sysco Corporation (NYSE:SYY) today announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.54 per share, payable on January 23, 2026, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on January 2, 2026.

RYE, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Trustees of The Gabelli Global Small and Mid Cap Value Trust (NYSE:GGZ) (the “Fund”) approved an increase in the annualized distribution to $0.84 per share, which will be paid $0.21 per share quarterly, commencing with the quarterly distribution payable on December 19, 2025 to common shareholders of record on December 12, 2025. The increase follows on the strength of the Fund’s market total return of 25% year to date.

The Fund intends to pay a quarterly distribution of an amount determined each quarter by the Board of Trustees. In addition to the quarterly distributions, and in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code for regulated investment companies, the Fund may pay an adjusting distribution in December which includes any additional income and net realized capital gains in excess of the quarterly distributions for that year.

Each quarter, the Board of Trustees reviews the amount of any potential distribution from the income, realized capital gain, or capital available. The Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the Fund’s distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund’s net asset value and the current financial market environment. The Fund’s distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Trustees at any time, and there can be no guarantee that the policy will continue. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.

All or part of the distribution may be treated as long-term capital gain or qualified dividend income (or a combination of both) for individuals, each subject to the maximum federal income tax rate for long term capital gains, which is currently 20% in taxable accounts for individuals (or less depending on an individual’s tax bracket). In addition, certain U.S. shareholders who are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare surcharge on their "net investment income", which includes dividends received from the Fund and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of shares of the Fund.

If the Fund does not generate sufficient earnings (dividends and interest income, less expenses, and realized net capital gain) equal to or in excess of the aggregate distributions paid by the Fund in a given year, then the amount distributed in excess of the Fund’s earnings would be deemed a return of capital. Since this would be considered a return of a portion of a shareholder’s original investment, it is generally not taxable and would be treated as a reduction in the shareholder’s cost basis.

Long-term capital gains, qualified dividend income, investment company taxable income, and return of capital, if any, will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to all distributions to common shareholders for the year. Based on the accounting records of the Fund currently available, each of the distributions paid to common shareholders in 2025 would include approximately 24% from net investment income, 38% from net capital gains and 38% would be deemed a return of capital on a book basis. This does not represent information for tax reporting purposes. The estimated components of each distribution are updated and provided to shareholders of record in a notice accompanying the distribution and are available on our website (www.gabelli.com). The final determination of the sources of all distributions in 2025 will be made after year end and can vary from the quarterly estimates. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution. All individual shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment for all 2025 distributions in early 2026 via Form 1099-DIV.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund before investing. For more information regarding the Fund’s distribution policy and other information about the Fund, call:

Artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced a $50 billion investment in computing infrastructure on Wednesday that will include new data centers in Texas and New York.

Microsoft also on Wednesday announced a new data center under construction in Atlanta, Georgia, describing it as connected to another in Wisconsin to form a "massive supercomputer" running on hundreds of thousands of Nvidia chips to power AI technology.

The latest deals show that the tech industry is moving forward on huge spending to build energy-hungry AI infrastructure, despite lingering financial concerns about a bubble, environmental considerations and the political effects of fast-rising electricity bills in the communities where they're constructed.

Anthropic, maker of the chatbot Claude, said it is working with London-based Fluidstack to build the new computing facilities to power its AI systems. It didn't disclose their exact locations or what source of electricity they will need.

Another company, cryptocurrency mining data center developer TeraWulf, has previously revealed it was working with Fluidstack on Google-backed data center projects in Texas and New York, on the shore of Lake Ontario. TeraWulf declined comment Wednesday.

A report last month from TD Cowen said that the leading cloud computing providers leased a "staggering" amount of U.S. data center capacity in the third fiscal quarter of this year, amounting to more than 7.4 gigawatts of energy, more than all of last year combined.

Oracle was securing the most capacity during that time, much of it supporting AI workloads for Anthropic's chief rival OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT. Google was second and Fluidstack came in third, ahead of Meta, Amazon, CoreWeave and Microsoft.

Anthropic said its projects will create about 800 permanent jobs and 2,400 construction jobs. It said in a statement that the "scale of this investment is necessary to meet the growing demand for Claude from hundreds of thousands of businesses while keeping our research at the frontier."

Microsoft has branded its Atlanta data center as Fairwater 2, after the original Fairwater complex being built near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company said it will help power its own technology, along with OpenAI's and other AI developers. Microsoft was, until earlier this year, OpenAI's exclusive cloud computing provider before the two companies amended their partnership. OpenAI has since announced more than $1 trillion in infrastructure obligations, much of it tied to its Stargate project with partners Oracle and SoftBank.

The tech industry's huge amount of spending on computing infrastructure for AI startups that aren't yet profitable has fueled concerns about an AI investment bubble.

Investors have closely watched a series of intertwined deals over recent months between top AI developers such as OpenAI and Anthropic and the companies building the costly computer chips and data centers needed to power their AI products. Anthropic said it will continue to "prioritize cost-effective, capital-efficient approaches" to scaling up its business.

CASE DETAILS: According to the filed complaint, defendants made false statements and/or concealed that defendants knew that the refresh cycle would never be as lucrative as they represented, nor could it, because it consisted of old products that were a "small percentage" of the Company's business. Moreover, defendants misrepresented and concealed that they did not have a clear picture of the true number of FortiGate firewalls that could be upgraded. And while telling investors that the refresh would gain momentum over the course of two years, Fortinet misrepresented and concealed that it had aggressively pushed through roughly half of the refresh in a period of months, by the end of 2Q 2025.

RYE, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Trustees of GAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income Trust (NYSE:GNT) (the “Fund”) increased the annual distribution 20% to $0.72 per share, which will be paid $0.06 per share monthly, commencing with the January 2026 monthly distribution. The increase reflects the strength of the Fund’s NAV total return of 37% year to date.

The Board of Trustees approved the continuation of its policy of paying monthly cash distributions. The Board of Trustees declared cash distributions of $0.06 per share for each of January, February, and March 2026. Based on current dynamics, the Fund may make distributions in excess of the Fund’s earnings. It is currently expected that distributions to common shareholders in 2025 will primarily constitute a return of capital for tax purposes.

Distribution MonthRecord DatePayable DateDistribution Per ShareJanuaryJanuary 15, 2026January 23, 2026$0.06FebruaryFebruary 12, 2026February 20, 2026$0.06MarchMarch 17, 2026March 24, 2026$0.06
Each quarter, the Board of Trustees reviews the amount of any potential distribution from the income, realized capital gain, or capital available. The Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the Fund’s distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund’s net asset value and the financial market environment. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.

Because the Fund’s current monthly distributions are subject to modification by the Board of Trustees at any time and the Fund’s income will fluctuate, there can be no assurance that the Fund will pay distributions at a particular rate or frequency.   Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution.

Short-term capital gains, qualified dividend income, ordinary income, and return of capital, if any, will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to all distributions to common shareholders for the year. There are no capital loss carryforwards for book purposes. Therefore the Fund, on a book basis, may be distributing short term gains generated from option premiums that will not be taxable in 2025 because of the capital loss carryforwards available on a tax basis. The estimated components of each distribution are updated and provided to shareholders of record in a notice accompanying the distribution and are available on our website (www.gabelli.com). The final determination of the sources of all distributions in 2025 will be made after year end and can vary from the monthly estimates. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution. All individual shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment for all 2025 distributions in early 2026 via Form 1099-DIV.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund before investing. For more information regarding the Fund’s distribution policy and other information about the Fund, call:

David Schachter
(914) 921-5057

The Fund’s NAV per share will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Stocks are subject to market, economic, and business risks that cause their prices to fluctuate. Investors acquire shares of the Fund on a securities exchange at market value, which fluctuates according to the dynamics of supply and demand. When Fund shares are sold, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Consequently, you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

Covered Call and Other Option Transaction Risks. There are several risks associated with writing covered calls and entering into other types of option transactions. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, resulting in a given transaction not achieving its objectives. In addition, a decision as to whether, when, and how to use covered call options involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. As the writer of a covered call option, the Fund forgoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the exercise price of the call option, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline.

About The GAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income Trust
The GAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income Trust is a diversified, closed-end management investment company with $156 million in total net assets whose primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of gold and natural resources companies and intends to earn income primarily through a strategy of writing (selling) primarily covered call options on equity securities in its portfolio. The Fund is managed by Gabelli Funds, LLC, a subsidiary of GAMCO Investors, Inc. (OTCQX: GAMI).

Joel Fournier
Chief Executive Officer

Thank you very much, Joanne, and good morning, everyone, and welcome to our Q3 2025 earnings call. I'm Joel Fournier, the Chief Executive Officer of GreenFirst. Today, I'm joined by Peter Ferrante, CFO; and Michel Lessard, our President. So we ended up the quarter with a negative EBITDA of $47.2 million. However, the loss is mainly due to selected adjustments. First, we had a $33.8 million duty adjustment related to an underpayment from AR6 for duty paid in 2023. The second item is we recorded an NRV provision of $8.2 million as market dropped sharply from [ $508 per thousand ] board feet in July right down to $420 by the end of September. And the third item is we had to take a downtime at our Chapleau mill to install the new saw line, and this impacted the results by $4.6 million.

So I saw your monthly data this morning, and it looks like the consumer continues to be resilient in the back of this choppy macro backdrop. Maybe you could just talk a little bit about what you're seeing in the portfolio and just in the back of -- like we get a lot of mixed signals on the economy. How is your consumer holding up so well?

Brian Wenzel
Executive VP & CFO

Yes. Listen, we were pleased, obviously, with the results this morning. When you think about credit -- and to go back to that story, Sanjay, in mid-2023 and into 2024, we took credit actions, right, because we did not want to be in a situation where our losses were outside of our target underwriting zone. It's not a good use of capital for us. It's not efficient. And we generally are not going to chase growth. So we put credit actions in place. I think if you look at those trends and how those trends have performed, it's done remarkably well and arguably probably better than some of our expectations.

Key Takeaways Opendoor has a new CEO with an impressive track record.A $1 million insider buy will provide alignment and conviction to investors.Opendoor benefits from improving operational efficiency & macro tailwinds.
OPEN’s Turnaround Story Gains Momentum Amid Fresh CatalystsI first wrote about Opendoor Technologies ((OPEN - Free Report) ) at ~$2.50 per share on August, 4th 2025. In the article, I detailed the bull case for the stock and why hedge fund manager Eric Jackson’s comparison to one of the biggest winners of the past cycle, Carvana ((CVNA - Free Report) ), made perfect sense. At the time each stock began its meteoric rise, both were beaten-down, working to digitize legacy markets, and gained a meme or cult-like stock following. Since then, OPEN shares have soared to a double-digit level before recently retreating. Over the past few months, the stock price has not the only thing that has changed at Opendoor. Although Wall Street investors are beginning to pay attention to the stock, several new bullish catalysts have emerged, suggesting it deserves a much higher share price. Below are four new bullish catalysts for the stock:

Kaz Nejatian Becomes Opendoor CEOOpendoor investors have had to endure several management and CEO shakeups over the past few years, leading to uncertainty and lack of direction. However, on September 10th, Opendoor Technologies appointed Kaz Nejatian as its CEO. Nejatian’s track record speaks for itself. Before joining OPEN, Nejatian was the Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Product at Shopify ((SHOP - Free Report) ), one of the most successful software companies in history. Additionally, Kaz held product leadership roles at Meta Platforms ((META - Free Report) ) and was the CEO of Kash, a payment technology company acquired in 2017.

New Opendoor CEO has Skin in the GameBeyond his years of experience at America’s top tech companies, Kaz Nejatian is driving conviction in Opendoor and betting that his turnaround efforts will succeed. This week, the OPEN CEO purchased $1 million worth of OPEN shares, and now holds more than 83 million shares in total. For investors, insider buys illustrate conviction and “skin in the game.”

Opendoor’s Fundamentals are Improving RapidlyThough Nejatian has only been leading Opendoor for ~2 months, the results speak for themselves. With a focus on speed, efficiency, and AI, Opendoor has doubled its home buying pace while simultaneously cutting its operating expenses by 41%.

Trump’s 50-year Mortgage is Bullish for OpendoorRecently, the Trump Administration announced that it plans to allow banks to offer 50-year mortgages. 50-year mortgages should revitalize a sleepy housing market and provide Opendoor Technologies with more liquidity.

Bottom Line

With an accomplished CEO at the helm, improving fundamentals, and a potentially game-changing housing policy on the horizon, the pieces are falling into place for a massive breakout in OPEN shares.

When it comes to inflows this year, Vanguard continues to prove it’s in a league of its own. The ETF juggernaut has amassed $315.9 billion in inflows as of November 11, which is 30% higher compared to the same time a year ago. Year-to-date inflows have already eclipsed the full year’s inflows the previous year, and there’s still a month and a half left to go.

As noted by Morningstar, the heavy hitters for Vanguard this year were unsurprisingly the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), followed by the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI). Both funds are prime examples of Vanguard’s long-standing strategy of offering low-cost passive funds.

The Hunt for Green October
Morningstar data also showed that October was a record month for Vanguard, with over $50 billion inflows. However, the full ETF marketplace also saw $166 billion in net new assets, which is a record number for ETFs as a whole.

Categorically, U.S. equity ETFs took in the lion’s share of flows while taxable bond funds came in second place. International ETFs also saw a strong month, proving that more investors continue to look overseas for opportunities.

Adding to the green October was also a record month for new launches as noted by Nate Geraci during an episode of ETF Prime. TMX Vettafi’s Head of Research Todd Rosenbluth also joined Geraci to discuss the record October as well as other trends happening in the ETF market.



Still a Passive Power Player (for Now)
Additional data from Morningstar earlier this year showed that Vanguard has been staying true to form with its commanding market presence in passive funds. However, the ETF provider is starting to make a marked shift into the active space as of late.

In the fixed income arena, Vanguard has already bolstered their active ETF offerings in 2025. It rolled out the Vanguard Short Duration Bond ETF (VSDB), the Vanguard Multi-Sector Income Bond ETF (VGMS), and the Vanguard Government Securities Active ETF (VGVT) earlier this year. The newest addition to the active ETF roster is the Vanguard High-Yield Active ETF (VGHY).

Vanguard’s active fixed income funds give advisors and investors the full backing of the vaunted Fixed Income Group. The fixed income market carries its own idiosyncrasies and complexities, making active management almost imperative in today’s marketplace. Whether it’s getting core bond exposure, maximizing yield, or other reasons, there’s an active Vanguard fixed income ETF that can suit a portfolio.

It's been a dynamic environment in the food space over the past few years, including over the past month or so. Maybe we could just start off with an update on trends and expectations as you see them for General Mills.

Jeffrey Harmening
Chairman & CEO

Yes. Thanks. I've been CEO for 8.5 years. I think it's been dynamic for the last 8.5 years or so. And as you say, the last month or so is no different. As I think about the current environment and reflect back a couple of years before the current environment, I think as I think about it, we started with kind of record levels of inflation and to the extent of more than 30% over 2 years. And with consumer wages not keeping up with that inflation and not only for food for a whole number of industries. And so I think that's the backdrop for what we're seeing today, which is consumers that have struggled over the past few years on a whole variety of fronts to keep their wage growth

The Gabelli Equity Trust Inc

RYE, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of The Gabelli Equity Trust Inc. (NYSE:GAB) (the “Fund”) reaffirmed and satisfied its 10% distribution policy by declaring a $0.15 per share cash distribution payable on December 19, 2025 to common stock shareholders of record on December 12, 2025.

The Fund intends to pay a minimum annual distribution of 10% of the average net asset value of the Fund within a calendar year or an amount sufficient to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code for regulated investment companies. The average net asset value of the Fund is based on the average net asset values as of the last day of the four preceding calendar quarters during the year. The net asset value per share fluctuates daily.

We note that 10% of the average net asset value of the Fund would be $0.54 based on the ending net asset values per share as of December 31, 2024, March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025 of $5.24, $5.15, $5.41, and $5.61, respectively. In declaring a distribution of $0.15 per share, the Board of Directors has chosen to distribute $0.06 greater than that called for by the distribution policy. The net asset value per share fluctuates daily.

The Board of Directors will continue to monitor the Fund’s distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund’s net asset value and the financial market environment. The Fund’s distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Directors at any time, and there can be no guarantee that the policy will continue. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.

All or part of the distribution may be treated as long-term capital gain or qualified dividend income (or a combination of both) for individuals, each subject to the maximum federal income ta4x rate for long term capital gains, which is currently 20% in taxable accounts for individuals (or less depending on an individual’s tax bracket). In addition, certain U.S. shareholders who are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare surcharge on their "net investment income", which includes dividends received from the Fund and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of shares of the Fund.

If the Fund does not generate sufficient earnings (dividends and interest income, less expenses, and realized net capital gain) equal to or in excess of the aggregate distributions paid by the Fund in a given year, then the amount distributed in excess of the Fund’s earnings would be deemed a return of capital. Since this would be considered a return of a portion of a shareholder’s original investment, it is generally not taxable and would be treated as a reduction in the shareholder’s cost basis.

Long-term capital gains, qualified dividend income, investment company taxable income, and return of capital, if any, will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to all distributions to common shareholders for the year. Based on the accounting records of the Fund currently available, each of the distributions paid to common shareholders in 2025 would include approximately 6% from net investment income, 51% from net capital gains and 43% would be deemed a return of capital on a book basis. This does not represent information for tax reporting purposes. The estimated components of each distribution are updated and provided to shareholders of record in a notice accompanying the distribution and are available on our website (www.gabelli.com). The final determination of the sources of all distributions in 2025 will be made after year end and can vary from the quarterly estimates. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution. All individual shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment for all 2025 distributions in early 2026 via Form 1099-DIV.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund before investing. For more information regarding the Fund’s distribution policy and other information about the Fund, call:

When it comes to surgical innovation, Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) often dominates investor attention. But Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD), best known for its Omnipod insulin delivery system, is emerging as a compelling alternative in the health care equipment space. While both companies are leaders in their respective niches, the market seems to be overlooking PODD’s accelerating fundamentals and relative value — setting the stage for an intriguing underdog story.

PODD stands out in this matchup by offering:

1) A lower valuation (P/OpInc) in comparison to Intuitive Surgical stock
2) Yet, a greater growth rate in revenue and operating income

This discrepancy between valuation and performance suggests that purchasing PODD stock might be a more advantageous choice than acquiring ISRG stock

ISRG stock is volatile. Conversely, a balanced asset allocation is not. Trefis’ wealth management partner in Boston integrates strategy and discipline to mitigate market fluctuations.

Comparison of Key Metrics

other metrics

Trefis

But do these figures data present the entire picture? Read Buy or Sell ISRG Stock to determine if Intuitive Surgical continues to have a competitive advantage that withstands scrutiny. For context, Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) offers groundbreaking surgical systems that enable physicians to conduct sophisticated minimally invasive operations, enhancing both quality and accessibility of healthcare on a global scale.

This is merely one method of assessing investments. Trefis High Quality Portfolio considers a wider range of factors and is crafted to minimize stock-specific risk while providing growth potential.

Is The Stock Price Discrepancy Only Temporary?

A method to ascertain whether Intuitive Surgical stock is currently overpriced compared to other tickers would be to examine how these metrics compared across different companies exactly one year ago. Specifically, if there has been a significant change in the trend for Intuitive Surgical over the past 12 months, it suggests that the present discrepancy may revert. Conversely, a persistent decline in revenue and operating income growth for Intuitive Surgical would strengthen the view that the stock is overvalued relative to its competitors and may not recover soon.

The Gabelli Utility Trust Inc

RYE, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Trustees of The Gabelli Utility Trust (NYSE:GUT) (the “Fund”) approved the continuation of its policy of paying fixed monthly cash distributions. The Board of Trustees declared cash distributions of $0.05 per share for each of January, February, and March 2026.

Distribution MonthRecord DatePayable DateDistribution Per ShareJanuaryJanuary 15, 2026January 23, 2026$0.05FebruaryFebruary 12, 2026February 20, 2026$0.05MarchMarch 17, 2026March 24, 2026$0.05     Each quarter, the Board of Trustees reviews the amount of any potential distribution from the income, realized capital gain, or capital available. The Board of Trustees will continue to monitor the Fund’s distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund’s net asset value and the financial market environment. If necessary, the Fund will pay an adjusting distribution in December which includes any additional income and net realized capital gains in excess of the monthly distributions for that year to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code for regulated investment companies. The Fund’s distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Trustees at any time, and there can be no guarantee that the policy will continue. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund. The Gabelli Utility Trust has paid a distribution to shareholders every month since October 1999.

The Fund’s shares are currently trading at a premium to net asset value. The Board of Trustees believes that the premium at which the Fund shares trade relative to net asset value is not likely to be sustainable. Shareholders participating in the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan should note that at the current market price, the reinvestment of distributions occurs at a premium to net asset value.

All or part of the distribution may be treated as long-term capital gain or qualified dividend income (or a combination of both) for individuals, each subject to the maximum federal income tax rate for long term capital gains, which is currently 20% in taxable accounts for individuals (or less depending on an individual’s tax bracket). In addition, certain U.S. shareholders who are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare surcharge on their "net investment income", which includes dividends received from the Fund and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of shares of the Fund.

If the Fund does not generate sufficient earnings (dividends and interest income, less expenses, and realized net capital gain) equal to or in excess of the aggregate distributions paid by the Fund in a given year, then the amount distributed in excess of the Fund’s earnings would be deemed a return of capital. Since this would be considered a return of a portion of a shareholder’s original investment, it is generally not taxable and would be treated as a reduction in the shareholder’s cost basis.

Long-term capital gains, qualified dividend income, investment company taxable income, and return of capital, if any, will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to all distributions to common shareholders for the year. Based on the accounting records of the Fund currently available, each of the distributions paid to common shareholders in 2025 would include approximately 11% from net investment income, 11% from net capital gains and 78% would be deemed a return of capital on a book basis. This does not represent information for tax reporting purposes. The estimated components of each distribution are updated and provided to shareholders of record in a notice accompanying the distribution and are available on our website (www.gabelli.com).

References to American Integrity or the company prior to the consummation of the IPO refer to American Integrity Insurance Group, LLC and after the consummation of the IPO, referred to American Integrity Insurance Group, Inc. With that, I'll turn the call over to American Integrity's Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Bob Ritchie. Please go ahead.
