Nejsledovanější americké indexy v úvodu úterního obchodování ztrácejí. V popředí poklesu jsou akcie spojené s výrobou čipů pro AI.

Společnost Meta Platforms (-3,7 %) dnes míří k soudu do ostře sledovanému střetu s koalicí státních generálních prokurátorů kvůli tvrzením, že firma záměrně navrhla Facebook a Instagram tak, aby u mladých uživatelů podporovaly kompulzivní chování a vznik závislosti.

Společnost Targa Resources (+6,2 %) oznámila, že uzavřela nové dvacetileté infrastrukturní smlouvy na bázi poplatků, které podpoří rozvoj těžebních lokalit společnosti ExxonMobil (+1,6 %) v Permské pánvi. V návaznosti na tyto dohody Targa zvýšila svůj odhad růstových kapitálových výdajů pro rok 2026 na přibližně 5,0 mld. USD.

Největší americký obchodník s domácím vybavením Home Depot (+0,1 %) zveřejnil hospodářské výsledky za druhý kvartál. Celkové tržby meziročně vzrostly o 5,7 % na 47,86 mld. USD a porovnatelné tržby se zvýšily o 1,7 %, čímž překonaly očekávání trhu.

Švédská finančně-technologická společnost Klarna (-19,6 %) zveřejnila výsledky hospodaření za 2Q 2026. Výnosy i zisk na akcii překonaly odhady trhu. Firma nicméně snížila celoroční výhled objemu transakcí i výnosů, a to kvůli kurzovým vlivům a obezřetnějšímu pohledu na německý trh, který je pro Klarnu objemově největší. Společnost zároveň oznámila odchod finančního ředitele.

Čínská technologická společnost Baidu (-8,9 %), která provozuje mimo jiné největší čínský vyhledávač či autonomní vozidla Apollo, dnes oznámila výsledky za 2Q. Výnosy klesly již pátý kvartál v řadě, přičemž byly taženy dolů online marketingovými výnosy, které meziročně poklesly o 19 %. Byznys poháněný umělou inteligencí naopak rostl meziročně o 25 % a na výnosech hlavního byznysu se podílel polovinou.

FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology company, today opened U.S. pre-orders for the IQ® Battery C80, its first commercial battery storage system. The all-in-one, AC-coupled system will deliver 80 kWh of usable energy capacity and up to 40 kVA of continuous power in a single, compact enclosure, with battery packs and microinverters fully integrated.

IQ Battery C80 extends Enphase's distributed architecture into commercial energy storage, completing the company's end-to-end commercial offering. It will pair with IQ9N-3P™ and IQ9S-3P™ Commercial Microinverters at 277Y/480 V, as well as IQ8P-3P™ and IQ8H-3P™ Microinverters at 120Y/208 V, enabling complete, all-AC solar-plus-storage systems without central inverters or high-voltage DC coupling.

From 80 kWh to 2 MWh, the system is engineered for commercial, industrial, and multifamily applications. Its modular architecture will allow customers to right-size projects and expand storage capacity over time. Its distributed, microinverter-based architecture is designed to reduce single points of failure and support high system uptime. IQ Battery C80 will support demand charge management, time-of-use shifting, solar self-consumption, grid services, and virtual power plant (VPP) participation — helping customers manage energy costs and maximize the value of onsite solar generation.

IQ Battery C80 will be available in two three-phase configurations: a 120Y/208 V model delivering 33 kVA for multifamily properties and smaller commercial buildings, and a 277Y/480 V model delivering 40 kVA for larger commercial and industrial applications. Both will use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, deliver greater than 90% AC round-trip efficiency, and operate across an ambient temperature range of -22°F to 131°F.

Both configurations will support Enphase Power Control software, certified to UL 3141, enabling two-hour or four-hour system designs. Busbar and feeder overload controls will enable flexible wiring, help reduce balance-of-system infrastructure costs, and potentially avoid unnecessary electrical equipment upgrades. The AC-coupled architecture will also allow IQ Battery C80 to pair with third-party commercial three-phase solar inverters for both new and retrofit projects.

IQ Battery C80 will use active air cooling without liquid cooling or external HVAC, helping simplify installation and improve reliability. Its integrated battery and power-conversion architecture will also reduce the number of separate components that need to be installed and interconnected. Battery-module-level heating will support reliable operation in cold-weather conditions.

IQ Battery C80 is expected to be produced at U.S. manufacturing facilities and to be FEOC compliant. U.S. production can also help certain eligible projects qualify for domestic content bonus tax credits, subject to project-specific requirements and applicable laws.

Safety is engineered at the module level. IQ Battery C80 will feature battery-module smoke and gas sensing with active pressure release, along with support for fire alarm control panel integration and emergency stop for safe isolation. The system will be certified to UL 9540A and large-scale fire test protocols for thermal runaway safety and housed in an outdoor-rated NEMA 3R enclosure for pad or floor mounting.

“We designed the IQ Battery C80 to make commercial storage simpler to deploy, easier to scale, and more resilient,” said Aaron Gordon, senior vice president and general manager of the systems business unit at Enphase Energy. “With 208 V and 480 V configurations, it will serve applications ranging from multifamily properties to large commercial and industrial facilities.”

Pre-orders for the IQ Battery C80 are open now, with shipments expected to begin in the first half of 2027. The system will be backed by a 15-year limited warranty. Customers should consult their legal and tax advisors to confirm eligibility for applicable tax credits and incentives. Learn more about commercial storage on the Enphase website.

Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA -1.08%)(BRKB -1.15%)'s 13F filing for the second quarter came out recently, which highlighted the company's changes in holdings during the period. While under previous CEO Warren Buffett, the company has been cautious about buying stocks and adding to its positions, that has changed of late under Greg Abel, who took over at the start of 2026.

These were the three biggest changes in Berkshire's holdings in the second quarter.

Image source: Getty Images.

The company drastically increased its position in AlphabetBerkshire bought Alphabet (GOOG -0.61%)(GOOGL -0.55%) stock last year but has since increased its position in the tech giant. Buffett claims to have been "initiated" into the initial purchase of it. But under Abel, the position has become more significant and prominent. In Q2, Alphabet bought approximately $17 billion worth of Alphabet stock, bringing its total position in the company to 106 million shares. And at $36 billion in total, it has now become its third-largest holding, behind just Apple and American Express.

It's a notable move for Berkshire, which has typically shied away from the tech sector. Alphabet is among the most valuable companies in the world, with a market cap exceeding $4 trillion. However, it's arguably in the same realm as Apple, another top Buffett holding. In terms of earnings, Alphabet isn't all that expensive, trading at about 17 times its expected future earnings (based on analyst estimates). Like Apple, it also has a strong competitive advantage, or moat, which Buffett loves to see from businesses.

While Alphabet is a bit surprising simply because it's in tech and how big its position is, it's the type of stock that certainly makes sense within Berkshire's portfolio.

It added more shares of Delta Air LinesAnother big move for Berkshire during Q2 was adding to its position in Delta Air Lines(DAL -1.97%). It bought 17.5 million shares during the period, bringing its total to 57 million. Although it's not one of Berkshire's largest holdings, it accounts for a little over 1% of the portfolio, so it's still a decent amount.

Delta reported strong earnings back in July, noting "broad demand strength" and expecting "mid-teens revenue growth and double-digit margin" for the current period. It also increased its dividend by 15%, a clear sign of business strength and confidence in its future performance.

Previously, under Buffett, Berkshire largely avoided airlines, exiting its position in four major airlines, including Delta, back in 2020. Now, however, Abel appears to have a greater appetite for the airline industry, with Delta being one of the company's more notable stock purchases during the most recent quarter.

Berkshire continued to trim its position in Bank of AmericaThe largest stock sale for Berkshire during the period involved its stake in Bank of America (BAC -0.93%). The company reduced its position in the top bank by about 6% by selling more than 30 million shares. It's been a trend for multiple quarters at Berkshire, as its position in Bank of America has diminished over the past couple of years, reduced more than 50% after eight quarters of sales.

Even amid the reductions, however, Bank of America remains one of Berkshire's largest holdings, accounting for nearly 9% of its entire portfolio. That's now less than Alphabet, but it's still sufficient to make it a top-five holding.

The move may simply have been to reduce exposure to financial stocks, as American Express is already the second-largest position in the company's portfolio. But at $1.7 billion, it was Berkshire's largest reduction in value during the second quarter.

Berkshire's portfolio is changing but remains in excellent shapeThere were other changes within Berkshire's portfolio, but the most significant moves were its additions to Alphabet and Delta Air Lines, and the largest cut was in its stake in Bank of America. All in all, Abel appears to be more active of late, and perhaps that's a sign that he's more comfortable in his position as the company's new leader.

It's a good sign for investors that he's willing to put the company's cash to use, and it may help unlock greater gains for Berkshire by enabling it to capitalize on new opportunities. But with the company still taking a thoughtful approach to its purchases and investing in quality stocks, it remains in solid shape and still makes for an excellent long-term holding.

RONAN, Mont. and FREDERICIA, Denmark, Aug. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AirJoule Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: AIRJ) (“AirJoule”) and The Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers (the “Hub”) today announced a strategic collaboration to explore how waste heat from data center operations can be integrated into heat-to-water systems.

The collaboration includes plans for future deployment and validation of an AirJoule Prime system at a Hub member site in 2026, enabling real-world testing within a commercial data center environment.

As part of the strategic collaboration, AirJoule and the Hub will jointly assess how heat-to-water technology could contribute to future resource-efficient data center operations and heat reuse strategies. As the data center industry explores heat reuse models, there is growing interest in how waste heat can support broader resource recovery systems and create value beyond the data center fence. AirJoule's technology is designed to convert low-grade waste heat into usable water through a thermodynamic process that integrates with industrial and infrastructure environments.

The initiative forms part of the Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers’ broader work on heat reuse and Heat-to-X solutions. AirJoule participated in the first cohort of the Net Zero Start-up Hub, where it worked directly with leading operators and industry experts to align its water-from-air technology with the specific requirements of the data center industry.

“Not all data centers have access to district heating infrastructure, which is why we need to explore other ways to create value from the heat they generate,” said Alberto Ravagni, CEO of the Net Zero Innovation Hub for Data Centers. “Through our Heat-to-X workstream, we are working with AirJoule and our members to validate heat-to-water as one potential pathway for turning otherwise untapped heat into a useful resource and creating positive impact for communities beyond the data center fence.”

“When we joined the Net Zero Start-Up Hub earlier this year, our objective was to move AirJoule from demonstration toward deployment inside a working data center. This collaboration delivers on that objective. By installing an AirJoule Prime system at a Hub member site, we will validate how waste heat from data centers can be converted into a usable water resource at commercial scale,” said Matt Jore, Chief Executive Officer of AirJoule Technologies.

Formal offer and take-over bid circular filed and will be delivered to Aurora shareholders

Offer provides total implied consideration of US$4.00 per share, representing a 45% premium to Aurora's Unaffected Share Price and a premium of 110% on an ex-cash basis to Aurora's Unaffected Share Price

Curaleaf remains prepared to engage constructively with Aurora's Board regarding this value-maximizing transaction

, /PRNewswire/ -- Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (TSX: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) ("Curaleaf" or the "Company"), a leading international provider of consumer and medical cannabis products, today announced that it has formally commenced its previously announced proposal (the "Offer") to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Aurora Cannabis Inc. ("Aurora").

Under the terms of the Offer, Aurora shareholders would receive total implied consideration of US$4.00 per Aurora common share (each, a "Common Share"), comprised of 0.3463 (the "Base Exchange Ratio") of a Curaleaf subordinate voting share (each whole share, an "Offeror Share") plus US$0.75 in cash (the "Cash Consideration") and based on Curaleaf's closing share price of US$9.39 on August 10, 2026 (the day before the Company announced its intention to make the Offer). Based on Aurora's 30-day Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") (as at August 10, 2026 (the day before the Company announced its intention to make the Offer)) of US$2.75 (the "Unaffected Share Price"), the Offer implies a 45% premium to the Unaffected Share Price. Excluding the value of the cash and cash equivalents that Aurora has on its balance sheet, the Offer represents a premium of 110% to the Unaffected Share Price. 

Boris Jordan, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Curaleaf, stated: "Today, we are putting this proposal directly in the hands of Aurora shareholders. We believe our Offer provides immediate value and a unique opportunity to participate in the upside of a larger, more diversified global cannabis platform with meaningful exposure to the growth of the U.S. market. By combining Aurora with Curaleaf, we can create the preeminent, scaled industry leader with significant opportunities for long-term growth and value creation. We believe this is a compelling opportunity for both companies and, most importantly, for shareholders."

Curaleaf's Offer follows multiple attempts to engage privately, constructively, and in good faith with Aurora's Board regarding a transaction designed to maximize value for shareholders. Despite these efforts, Aurora repeatedly declined to engage in any meaningful discussions regarding the proposal. Curaleaf's proposal was formulated without the benefit of due diligence and based solely on publicly available information due to Aurora's refusal to engage. Curaleaf remains prepared to engage constructively with Aurora to maximize value for all shareholders.

Mr. Jordan continued: "Given the reduction in Canadian medical cannabis reimbursement rates and the cancellation of German medical cannabis reimbursement, Aurora is facing significant headwinds in its two most prominent markets. These regulatory changes, coupled with consecutive quarters of underperformance, have led to a smaller, less profitable company than Aurora was when its shares traded at materially higher levels in 2025, yet the Aurora Board's assessment of value appears to be anchored to that historical share price. Furthermore, Aurora's shareholders have faced millions of dollars in restructuring costs and billions of dollars in write-offs, as well as continued dilution from an at-the-market equity issuance program at prices below our offer price. Curaleaf is offering Aurora shareholders the opportunity to realize meaningful value today at a significant premium, while becoming owners of the largest cannabis company in the world led by a management team that is deeply committed to long-term value creation."

Terms of the Offer

The Offer will provide holders of Common Shares with consideration consisting of 0.3463 Offeror Shares and US$0.75 in cash for each Common Share deposited under the Offer, representing total implied consideration of approximately US$4.00 per Common Share, based on Curaleaf's closing price of US$9.39 on August 10, 2026 (the day before the Company announced its intention to make the Offer). The Offer is subject to a maximum value per Common Share of US$5.00 (the "Cap Price"). If, on the earlier of the Expiry Time (as defined below) and the date on which all conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or waived, the 20-day VWAP of Curaleaf Shares (the "Calculation Date VWAP") is greater than C$17.05 (assuming an exchange rate for U.S. dollars of C$1.00 = US$0.72) per Offeror Share (the "Cap VWAP Price"), the number of Offeror Shares issuable for each Common Share will be determined by dividing the Cap Price of US$5.00 (less the Cash Consideration of US$0.75) by the Calculation Date VWAP, in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

The Offer will remain open for acceptance until 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on December 1, 2026 (the "Expiry Time"), unless extended, varied or withdrawn in accordance with its terms. Subject to applicable securities laws, Curaleaf may extend the deposit period and, if the statutory minimum tender requirement and all other conditions of the Offer have been satisfied or waived, the Offer will be extended for a mandatory period of at least 10 U.S. Business Days. The Offer is not subject to any financing condition or due diligence condition and is subject to only customary regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, all as described in the Offer Documents (as defined below).

Full details of the Offer are contained in the formal offer and take-over bid circular and related materials (collectively, the "Offer Documents"), which have been filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and which will be delivered to Aurora shareholders. Aurora shareholders are urged to read the Offer Documents carefully and in their entirety. The Offer Documents will also be available on Curaleaf's website and on its profile page on SEDAR+ (sedarplus.ca) and EDGAR (sec.gov), and Aurora shareholders are also encouraged to visit https://grow.curaleaf.com/ for additional information regarding the Offer, including the strategic rationale for the Offer, expected benefits of the combination of the two companies, FAQs, and other relevant materials.

Reasons to Tender to the Offer

Among other reasons, Aurora's shareholders are encouraged to tender their Common Shares to the Offer because:

Provides Immediate and Significant Premium and Value Certainty: Aurora shareholders can immediately capture a significant premium and realize cash value today while continuing to participate in the future growth of the combined company through ongoing equity ownership – the Offer represents a 45% premium to Aurora's Unaffected Share Price. Even Higher Premium on an Ex-Cash Basis: Based on Aurora's US$109 million of cash and equivalents (or US$1.62 per share) and assuming dollar-for-dollar value for cash, the Offer implies an ex-cash premium of 110% to the Unaffected Share Price and an ex-cash premium of 127% to the July 7, 2026 closing price, the date Curaleaf sent its initial letter of intent to Aurora. Attractive Implied Valuation Relative to Peers: Based on average analyst consensus estimates, the Offer implies a CY2026E adjusted EBITDA multiple of 12.0x, more than 68% higher than the comparable Canadian peer average of 7.1x, and 58% higher than Aurora's CY2026E adjusted EBITDA multiple of 7.6x. Aurora's Most Recent Guidance Contemplates a Smaller and Less Profitable Business: In Aurora's most recent earnings announcements, Aurora management provided an FY2027 outlook in which they expect to generate lower revenue and lower adjusted EBITDA than the year just ended. The Offer provides Aurora shareholders with an alternative – ownership in a combined company with a growing revenue base, positive operating cash flow and downstream infrastructure that Aurora does not have. Constant Restructuring and Inventory Impairment Charges Presented as Non-Recurring for Four Consecutive Years: Aurora has had inventory impairments and "business transformation" costs in each of fiscal 2024, fiscal 2025, fiscal 2026 and again in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. Over this period, Aurora has incurred almost C$150 million of "non-recurring" costs that have been excluded from its adjusted results. Charges incurred in four consecutive fiscal years are not non-recurring. Aurora Has a Sustained Track Record of Value Destruction: Aurora's balance sheet as at March 31, 2026 reports share capital of C$7.0 billion offset by an accumulated deficit of C$6.4 billion. Approximately 72% of that deficit is the impairment of businesses Aurora has acquired. Between fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2026 Aurora recognized approximately C$4.65 billion of impairments in continuing operations. Combine with the Global Industry Leader with Continued Participation: Through the share component of the Offer, Aurora shareholders would have the opportunity to participate in compelling industry growth alongside the established and successful track record of Curaleaf, which maintains a global cultivation footprint more than three times the size of Aurora and global production capacity almost six times that of Aurora. Increased Diversification Across the Global Cannabis Value Chain: Given Curaleaf's extensive global operations, as well as its infrastructure across all aspects of the cannabis value chain, both medical and adult-use, Curaleaf's business is one of the most diversified cannabis companies in the world. Aurora shareholders will greatly benefit from this diversification. Pro Rata Participation in Expected Synergies: Curaleaf has identified a path to at least US$40 million of annual cost synergies through optimization across corporate overhead, procurement, supply chain operations, and international infrastructure. Aurora shareholders would also benefit from potential revenue synergies from combining Aurora's cultivation, genetics, and medical cannabis capabilities with Curaleaf's distribution, pharmacy, clinic, and patient access footprint. Improved Scale, Liquidity, Capital Markets Presence and Access to Capital: The combined company would be a larger, more diversified global cannabis platform with a pro forma market capitalization of more than US$3.0 billion, enhanced liquidity, broader investor appeal, and expanded future capital markets opportunities. As one of the largest and most diversified cannabis companies globally, the combined entity would be uniquely positioned as the premier public vehicle for blue-chip institutional and long-term investors seeking exposure to a top-tier cannabis investment opportunity – ultimately realizing a lower cost of capital than Aurora experiences today. Potential for Downward Aurora Share Price Impact if the Offer is not Accepted: If the Offer is not successful, Curaleaf believes Aurora's share price may decline toward pre-offer levels, eliminating the premium implied by the transaction. Compelling Strategic Rationale for the Curaleaf-Aurora Cannabis Combination

Curaleaf continues to believe that a combination of the two companies would result in significant strategic and financial advantages. By combining with Curaleaf, Aurora will be able to leverage the strengths of a larger and more diversified global cannabis platform. The combined company is expected to benefit from:

The Creation of the Global Cannabis Champion Through Complementary Strengths: The combination would bring together two of the industry's most respected operators, creating a truly global cannabis leader with significant scale across North America, Europe and other emerging international markets. The combined company would have more than US$1.5 billion of LTM revenue and nearly US$350 million of LTM Adjusted EBITDA. A Stronger Platform for Long-Term Growth: Curaleaf's scale, profitability, capital resources, international operating platform, and extensive distribution infrastructure provide the opportunity to take Aurora's business to the next level. Curaleaf generated approximately US$145 million of operating cash flow for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2026 and will provide Aurora with enhanced financial flexibility to invest in organic growth initiatives and pursue strategic opportunities that will further strengthen its position in the global medical cannabis market. Unlocking Full Global Potential Through Curaleaf's Infrastructure: Aurora's cultivation, genetics, and medical cannabis capabilities can achieve their greatest reach and impact through Curaleaf's unmatched international infrastructure. Curaleaf's diversified international platform provides Aurora with a unique opportunity to expand its brands, reach more patients, accelerate growth in emerging markets and capitalize on future global legalization trends through an infrastructure that would be difficult to replicate or access through any other strategic combination. Participation in U.S. Cannabis Upside: Aurora shareholders would gain meaningful exposure to the world's largest cannabis market and a series of potentially transformative U.S. regulatory and industry catalysts. Combined with the potential for broader federal legalization, federal rescheduling and increasing restrictions on hemp-derived products provide Aurora shareholders with exposure to growth opportunities that are not currently available through Aurora's standalone international-focused strategy. Leveraging Curaleaf's Extensive Cultivation Experience: Curaleaf has significant cultivation expertise with approximately 472,000 square feet of cultivation canopy and a demonstrated track record of improving productivity, optimizing yields and reducing unit production costs. Since the first quarter of 2024, Curaleaf has increased average yields nearly 90% on a per square foot basis while reducing its cost per gram nearly 50%. Curaleaf's proven cultivation capabilities in yield optimization, genetic innovation, per-plant productivity and cost reduction are expected to support enhanced efficiency and product quality across Aurora's cultivation facilities. Highly Experienced Management Team: Curaleaf is led by a deep, highly experienced management team with extensive expertise across cannabis, healthcare, consumer products, finance, and global operations. Founder, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Boris Jordan has continued to lead Curaleaf since its inception and has played a pivotal role in its evolution into one of the world's leading cannabis enterprises. Curaleaf's seasoned leadership team continues to drive operational excellence, disciplined capital allocation, and long-term value creation for shareholders, including with a strong track record on integrating acquisitions into the larger Curaleaf platform and infrastructure to drive commercial success. Value Creation Through Superior Capital Allocation: Under the leadership of a management team widely regarded as among the industry's most experienced capital allocators, the combined company is expected to be uniquely positioned to deploy capital, expand into new markets, optimize product portfolios and accelerate long-term growth in ways that neither company could achieve independently. Management Heavily Invested in Curaleaf: Having been personally invested in Curaleaf since 2014, Mr. Jordan remains a significant shareholder of Curaleaf, owning shares representing an economic interest of approximately 18% and US$452 million of value. Management and other insiders collectively own shares representing an economic interest of approximately 20% and US$492 million of value. The Clear Strategic Partner for Aurora: Curaleaf is uniquely positioned to execute a transaction of this scale, combining the size, operational sophistication, financial resources, and global infrastructure necessary to successfully integrate the Company's business. Few, if any, other industry participants possess the complementary geographic footprint, international regulatory expertise and commercial platform required to maximize the value of the Company's assets while providing a compelling path for future growth. Conditions of the Offer

The Offer is subject to customary conditions, including: (i) there being validly deposited under the Offer, and not withdrawn, more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares, excluding any shares held by the Offeror and other non-independent shareholders; (ii) at least 66⅔% of the outstanding Common Shares (on a fully diluted basis) having been deposited under the Offer; (iii) receipt of all required governmental and regulatory approvals; (iv) no material adverse effect having occurred in respect of Aurora; (v) Aurora's shareholder rights plan not impairing the Offer; and (vi) the absence of any legal, regulatory or other event that would prevent or materially adversely affect completion of the Offer. The Offer is also subject to the effectiveness of the registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act and other customary conditions.

Acknowledgment of Aurora Cannabis Special Committee

Curaleaf acknowledges that, as announced in a press release on August 11, 2026, the Board of Directors of Aurora has formed a Special Committee to review the Offer, and Curaleaf remains open to a dialogue whereby the parties can work toward a constructive, mutually agreeable transaction in a timely manner.

"We remain disappointed that Aurora's management and Board have not meaningfully engaged with us on the merits of our proposal. A one-line response to an offer is not meaningful engagement – it is a dismissal – and Aurora shareholders deserve the opportunity to fully evaluate the potential benefits of this transaction," said Mr. Jordan. "However, we are hopeful that Aurora's Special Committee will see, as we do, that the financial and strategic rationales for a combination with Curaleaf are compelling, and that this transaction is in the best interest of Aurora shareholders. We remain available for productive conversations with the Special Committee to ensure that the benefits of the combination can be realized by the shareholders of both of our companies as soon as possible."

, /PRNewswire/ -- Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe LLP advises Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LW) investors that the firm is investigating potential legal claims arising from alleged false and misleading statements about the company's efforts to modernize its business operations and systems. Current shareholders are encouraged to contact the firm here: https://www.classactionlawyers.com/lambweston.

On May 12, 2026, U.S. District Judge David C. Nye ruled that key claims in a securities fraud lawsuit against Lamb Weston and its former CEO and CFO will move forward. The lawsuit alleges that between July 2023 and December 2024, the company misled investors about the performance of its enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, including rollout problems affecting inventory visibility and customer order fulfillment. These statements allegedly caused Lamb Weston's stock to trade at artificially inflated prices. Judge Nye found the complaint sufficiently alleged that false and misleading statements about these matters were made with knowledge or deliberate recklessness. During this period, company insiders sold over $11 million in stock. The truth was revealed through disclosures in April, July, and December 2024 showing that the ERP transition contributed to lost customers and sales. Lamb Weston's stock price fell sharply following these announcements, declining 19%, 28%, and 20%, respectively.

We are investigating potential wrongdoing by Lamb Weston's directors and officers in connection with these allegations.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 18, 2026) - Metalsource Mining Inc. (CSE: MSM) (OTCQB: MSMMF) (FSE: E9Z) ("Metalsource" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional assay results from its ongoing drill program at Silver Hill, where step out drilling continues to improve management's understanding of the continuity and orientation of a growing high grade polymetallic system.

Hole SH26-20 returned 9.57 metres grading 364 g/t silver equivalent ("AgEq"), including 2.26 metres grading 913 g/t AgEq.

Hole SH26-21 returned 15.3 metres grading 207 g/t AgEq, including 2.4 metres grading 515 g/t AgEq.

These two holes continue to demonstrate mineralization is open at depth, with reliable widths and high grades, validating the company's interpretation that the system remains open down dip and along strike to the north and south.

SH26-20: This hole was drilled as a follow up to SH26-19, designed to characterize the grade of lost material in SH26-19. This is very important for data continuity in future resource estimations. SH26-20 returned composite values of up to 8.4 g/t gold, with 47.9 g/t silver, and 14.7% combined lead-zinc. The combined result of SH26-19 and SH26-20 demonstrate local variability in grade along strike and down dip can be significant. This result bolsters our confidence that an individual intercept of relative lower grade can be in very close proximity to high grade mineralization.

SH26-21: This hole was drilled as a down dip step out below SH26-20, and returned higher overall composite lead values, including up to 7.3% lead and 47 g/t silver. Elevated silver with higher lead supports our understanding that galena is argentiferous, and silver is associated with lead enriched zones in the deposit. Additionally, SH26-21 intercepted wider sections of the mineralized horizon, indicating the system may be more robust at depth.

Joe Cullen, CEO of Metalsource Mining, commented:

"SH26-20 and SH26-21 reinforce something we've suspected for a while. Gold, silver, lead and zinc at Silver Hill aren't randomly distributed. We're beginning to see patterns that can help us vector toward the higher-grade portions of the system. That's a meaningful shift from finding mineralization to understanding it.

Importantly, the mineralized system also appears to be strengthening at depth, with SH26-21 returning a wider mineralized intercept as we continue stepping out down plunge. Our focus now is to aggressively expand the known mineralized footprint and target extensions of the exceptional high-grade mineralization, while our expanded drilling program begins testing entirely new targets beyond the historic mine footprint.

As our geological model sharpens, so does our ability to refine where we drill next. With Silver Hill remaining open along strike and at depth, we're excited about the exploration runway ahead."

What's Next

Multiple Assays Pending: Results remain outstanding from several completed drill holes, providing a continued pipeline of exploration results as drilling advances across Silver Hill.Expanding Along Strike and at Depth: With mineralization remaining open in multiple directions, drilling will continue to systematically test extensions of the known mineralization along strike, down plunge and at depth.Vectoring Toward Higher Grade Mineralization: As drilling, assays, geophysics and structural interpretation continue to refine the geological model, Metalsource will increasingly apply this information to target interpreted extensions of higher-grade portions of the system.Accelerating Exploration: The Company's expanded drilling program is designed to increase exploration capacity, allowing Metalsource to simultaneously expand known mineralization while testing new priority targets across the broader property.Testing New Discovery Targets: Recently completed IP surveys have identified additional priority targets within and beyond the historically mined area. These previously untested targets provide a pipeline of opportunities to evaluate potential extensions and additional mineralized centres across the broader Silver Hill trend.Expanding the Exploration Footprint: Metalsource will continue evaluating strategic land opportunities where geological and geophysical interpretation identifies prospective ground that could complement the Company's evolving district scale exploration strategy.Why This Matters to Investors

SH26-20 and SH26-21 provide another important piece of evidence that the Silver Hill mineralization continues at depth. The two down plunge step outs extend drilling to approximately 335 metres below surface while returning multiple high-grade intervals within broader mineralized horizons of up to 15.3 metres. Importantly, the changing distribution of gold, silver, lead and zinc between holes is providing the Company with additional geological information that may help refine vectors toward high grade zones.

The significance extends beyond these individual assays. Metalsource is now advancing a multi-pronged exploration strategy designed to systematically expand mineralization along strike and at depth, aggressively test extensions of the exceptional high-grade mineralization surrounding SH26-07, and use expanded drilling capacity to evaluate completely new discovery targets beyond the historic mine footprint.

With the known mineralization remaining open and the Company's geological model continuing to evolve, each successive phase of drilling is designed to answer a larger question: how far does Silver Hill extend, where are its highest-grade zones concentrated, and does the broader trend host additional mineralized centres?

Metalsource QA/QC protocols are maintained through the insertion of certified reference material (standards), blanks, and duplicates within the sample stream. The drill core is cut in half with a diamond saw, with one half placed in sealed bags and shipped to the laboratory and the other half retained on site. Chain of custody is maintained from the drill to the submittal into the laboratory preparation facility.

Analytical testing is performed by ALS Geochemistry (Reno, NV) and ALS Canada (Vancouver, BC). The entire sample is crushed to 70% passing 2mm mesh, with a 250 gram split pulverized to 85% passing minus 75 micron. A four-acid digest is performed on 0.25g of sample to quantitatively dissolve most geological materials. Analysis is performed with a combination of ICP-AES and ICP-MS and fire assay.

The exploration results described herein are preliminary in nature and are insufficient to define a mineral resource. Further drilling is required to determine the continuity, geometry, and grade distribution of mineralization. At the time of this release analytical results remain pending.

Silver Hill Project

Located in the Carolina Terrane, the property is underlain by volcaniclastic and volcano-sedimentary rocks predominantly of Neoproterozoic and Cambrian age. Current interpretations suggest this terrane is an extension of the Avalon Terrane. The property is 1,225 acres located in Davidson County, North Carolina. As the first significant discovery and first silver-producing mine in America, the property is supported by an extensive historic dataset, including drillhole data, underground mapping, historic dumps and underground chip samples. Currently known mineralization extends to 550m from surface, in a steeply trending series of lenses, which remain open in multiple directions.

Byrd-Pilot Mountain Project

The Byrd-Pilot Mountain Project is located in central North Carolina within the Carolina Terrane. Initial USGS surveys in the 1980s identified the area as a potential host for a porphyry gold-copper system. Subsequent exploration demonstrated broad gold mineralization in soils, trenches, and shallow RC drilling, coincident with strong self-potential anomalies. Geology shows intense quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration, high-sulfidation signatures, and high-alumina minerals (like Haile and Brewer deposits to the south), suggesting potential for a large epithermal or porphyry-related gold system. Geologic modelling of currently identified mineralization indicates an east-west trend open in multiple directions, with oxidation noted down to a depth of 30m. No drilling has tested the Meridian discovery zone since those 1980s campaigns, leaving potential for significant resource expansion through work commitments of the agreement.

Matthew Sonefeldt, the chief financial officer of Doximity, Inc. (DOCS -1.13%), reported a non-discretionary disposition of 15,311 shares of Class A Common Stock on August 15, according to an SEC Form 4 filing.

Transaction summaryMetricValueShares sold (direct)15,311Transaction value$380,000Post-transaction shares (directly held)486,238Post-transaction value$12.1 millionTransaction value based on SEC Form 4 weighted average sale price ($24.80).

Key questionsDoes this transaction reflect a shift in the executive's outlook on the firm?
The disposition was a non-discretionary event triggered by tax liabilities linked to equity compensation vesting. Because the shares were withheld by the company to cover these obligations rather than sold in an open-market discretionary trade, the move does not provide a signal regarding the CFO's view on the stock's valuation.What is the scale of the remaining incentive alignment?
Sonefeldt maintains a significant equity interest in the company, holding 486,238 shares directly. This position represents a substantial capital commitment of $12.1 million based on the market close price of $24.80 on August 14.What are the core fundamentals of the business at the time of this filing?
The company operates a digital platform for healthcare practitioners, generating trailing 12-month revenue of $655.6 million and net income of $167.0 million. Its primary client base includes pharmaceutical companies and healthcare organizations that utilize the platform for peer networking and remote consultations.Company OverviewMetricValueShare Price (as of market close 2026-08-14)$24.80Market Capitalization$4.6 billionRevenue (TTM)$655.6 millionNet Income (TTM)$167.0 millionCompany SnapshotDoximity operates a cloud-hosted digital platform that provides healthcare practitioners with specialized tools for peer connectivity, patient care coordination, remote consultations, medical research access, and professional development.The company generates revenue through subscription-based services and licensing arrangements with pharmaceutical companies and healthcare organizations that utilize the platform to engage with medical professionals.The primary customer base consists of pharmaceutical companies seeking to reach physicians and healthcare organizations seeking to optimize clinical workflows and practitioner engagement across the United States healthcare system.Doximity is a leading digital health platform serving the U.S. healthcare practitioner community with approximately 880 employees and a market capitalization of $4.6 billion. The company has achieved substantial profitability with TTM net income of $167.0 million on revenue of $655.6 million, demonstrating strong unit economics and operational efficiency. Doximity's competitive advantage derives from its comprehensive practitioner network, integrated suite of clinical and professional tools, and established relationships with pharmaceutical and healthcare organization customers.

What this transaction means for investorsSonefeldt has been Doximity's CFO for roughly one quarter as of lastweek, which makes this the first tranche of a new hire's equity vesting and the tax bill that comes with it. Three other insiders had the same thing happen the same day, so the filing itself isn't what's worth lingering on.

The more useful thing about Sonefeldt is what he keeps talking about. On the August 6 call he returned again and again to LinkedIn, where he worked before, and to how its ad business only got enormous after buying shifted to auctions over many years. He was careful to say Doximity isn't unveiling that this year. Instead, this year is a lot less tidy for Doximity. Revenue rose 7% to $156.6 million, but the September quarter is guided to $170 million to $171 million, roughly 1% growth at the midpoint. Sonefeldt said on the same call that "the overall pharma spending environment remains tight," which sits awkwardly next to a raised full-year outlook. AI compute costs pulled gross margin to 87.5% from 91.2%, and adjusted EBITDA slipped 6% to $74.8 million while the company spent $91.6 million buying back stock. His own explanation for the weak growth is timing. The fiscal third quarter, when the AI search revenue lands, as the firm noted on the earnings call, is where that gets tested.

Jonathan Ponciano has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Doximity. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ) (the "Company" or "Canadian Solar") today announced that the remaining U.S. proceeding related to patent allegations brought by Maxeon Solar Pte. Ltd. ("Maxeon") against Canadian Solar has been resolved in Canadian Solar's favor. Maxeon's patent infringement suit in the Federal District Court has now been dismissed with prejudice. Further, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit vacated the relevant portion of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("PTAB") decision relating to Maxeon's remaining claim.

The proceedings stemmed from a March 2024 patent infringement lawsuit filed by Maxeon concerning three patents related to TOPCon solar cell technology. In Final Written Decisions issued in January 2026, the PTAB ruled in Canadian Solar's favor, finding all Maxeon patent claims asserted against the Company in the federal court litigation invalid. Canadian Solar welcomes the dismissal of the lawsuit and the final resolution of these patent claims. The ruling provides important clarity and reinforces Canadian Solar's claims of non-infringement.

Colin Parkin, Chief Executive Officer of Canadian Solar Inc., said, "We are very pleased with the resolution of these proceedings, which affirms Canadian Solar's continued ability to compete through technology and manufacturing leadership.

Space stocks are in shambles.

"Led" (in a bad way) by Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX +4.45%), the space titan built by Elon Musk and IPOed on June 12, shares of space stocks of all stripes have taken a beating over the past couple of months.

Take Rocket Lab (RKLB +2.28%) for example. The space company, often described as a mini-SpaceX, surged from below $5 in May 2024 to more than $140 in May 2026 -- a thirtyfold rise in just two years. Then it plunged more than 50% after the SpaceX IPO.

Or consider AST SpaceMobile (ASTS +0.23%), the satellite communications pioneer that proved the concept of cell phone-to-cell phone communications via satellite, with no towers in between. That one rose nearly twelvefold over the same two-year period -- then gave back 20% in the month following SpaceX's titanic IPO.

More targeted space plays such as Redwire Corporation (RDW -1.25%), which builds space infrastructure, and Intuitive Machines (LUNR +7.21%), focused on delivering cargo to the moon, gained fourfold in two years and nearly eightfold, respectively, before falling each falling roughly 70% in a month.

SpaceX leads; others follow Even SpaceX hasn't gone unscathed. After a first few frenzied days of trading that lifted Elon Musk's space empire past $211 a share, sellers arrived in force at SpaceX, driving the shares down nearly into the double digits.

The good news is that SpaceX appears to have found its footing again, closing at $140 Friday and once again above its IPO price. The better news is that many other space stocks are recovering, at least somewhat, alongside the leader.

The best news of all is that, with the U.S. government continuing to pour money into space exploration, there's reason to believe the momentum is sustainable.

NITE-STAR gazing Case in point: Late last month, the U.S. Space Force announced a $981 million award to be shared among more than a dozen separate space stocks working on the "National Space Test and Training Complex Innovative Technology and Engineering Space Test and Range Capability Development" -- dubbed "NITE-STAR."

(Someone clearly worked overtime trying to make those words fit that acronym.)

Space Force named the following 15 space companies -- 13 of which are publicly traded -- as winners of NITE-STAR, clearing them to bid on future task orders under the umbrella contract, which will span 10 years:

Amentum Holdings (AMTM -4.84%) BAE Systems (BAESY -1.37%) Boeing (BA -2.47%) CACI (CACI -3.16%) Firefly Aerospace (FLY +1.91%) L3Harris Technologies (LHX -4.61%) Lockheed Martin (LMT -2.45%) Northrop Grumman (NOC -2.67%) Pacific Crest Alliance Parsons Corporation (PSN -4.47%) Redwire Rocket Lab Sierra Space Corp. Viasat (VSAT -1.76%) York Space Systems (YSS -2.47%) It's not entirely clear what NITE-STAR will entail. The Space Force itself might not be 100% certain, describing the contract's goal vaguely as "advancement of the sophisticated systems and technologies required to keep [Space Force servicemen known as] Guardians ahead of the complexities of a contested space domain."

More importantly for investors, it's less than 100% certain anyone on the above list will book significant, needle-moving wins -- even on this nearly $1 billion contract.

What it means for space investors Consider that $981 million, spread over 10 years, works out to just $98.1 million per year. And if contracts are evenly distributed, each of the 15 companies might, on average, expect to book as little as $6.5 million per year under the contract.

It goes without saying that $6.5 million won't move the needle for giant space companies such as Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, or L3Harris. Smaller space-fry such as Firefly, Redwire, or York Space might notice the revenue influx more. But even at York, $6.5 million extra per year will only add about 1.5% to the company's $405 million-a-year revenue stream.

In short, big as this contract appears on the surface, it's not -- in and of itself -- going to be enough to turn things around and start a new bull market in space stocks. Many more contracts, and many much larger contracts, will be needed for that.

Meanwhile, a survey of 15 of the biggest space stocks that I follow shows an average price-to-sales ratio of 65.4. (Even throwing out triple-digit P/S outliers such as AST and Virgin Galactic (SPCE -5.72%) only brings the average P/S down to 19.8.) Valuations remain extreme in this sector.

Investors should be wary. Even after some pretty historic declines, space stocks as a whole aren't yet cheap enough to guarantee a bounce-back.

With second-quarter earnings now in the books for quantum computing stocks, it appears that two are starting to pull away from the pack: IonQ (IONQ +1.25%) and Quantinuum (QNT +3.81%). This perhaps should not be surprising, as these are the two companies using a trapped-ion approach, which has thus far proven to be the most accurate. IonQ has reached 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity, while Quantinuum has achieved 99.92%, putting them both far ahead of the pack in this metric.

This edge in accuracy is also starting to show up in their earnings results.

IonQ: Surging revenue

IonQ's Q2 revenue soared 287% to $80.1 million, which was well ahead of the $66.4 million average estimate. Importantly, 60% of its revenue came from commercial, non-government customers, showing its solutions are moving beyond lab experiments. Multi-product sales, meanwhile, jumped 40% and accounted for about a quarter of its revenue.

Its order backlog rose to $485 million, up from $122 million a year ago, and it raised its full-year revenue forecast to $280 million to $290 million, excluding its recently closed SkyWater acquisition. The acquisition of the foundry is expected to accelerate its quantum roadmap, as it looks to eventually develop 10,000-qubit chips by 2027. The company also highlighted its move from lasers to its proprietary Electronic Qubit Control (EQC) technology, which uses microwave antennas built directly on its chips. This will help it scale as it lowers costs and reduces energy consumption.

Quantinuum: Oracle partnership is a game changer

Quantinuum's Q2 revenue surged 279% to $8 million, driven by growth in its cloud business, but the highlight of its earnings report was its strategic partnership with Oracle. Its Helios system will be integrated with Oracle's cloud infrastructure to give customers a quantum-artificial intelligence framework.

The company's order backlog, meanwhile, climbed to $74 million and is projected to reach at least $120 million by year-end. Meanwhile, Quantinuum is looking for its new Sol in 2027 to reach 99.999% logical fidelity. It projects 2026 revenue between $28 million and $32 million, and more than doubling in 2027.

The other quantum names largely reported mixed results. Infleqtion's (INFQ +4.28%) revenue jumped 116% to $12.6 million, and it raised its full-year outlook to $43 million. However, its backlog was up only slightly sequentially at about $21 million. The company has a more mature quantum sensing business, while its neutral-atom technology, which is similar to trapped-ion but with the charge removed, holds promise. It is looking to demonstrate 30 logical qubits on its system by the end of 2026.

D-Wave Quantum (QBTS -1.42%), known for its annealing systems, reported revenue of $3.1 million for the quarter, little changed. It expects Q3 revenue to be similar to Q2, before seeing a big jump in Q4. Importantly, the company is getting into full-fledged gate-based quantum computers, and it said its superconducting dual-rail qubit architecture hit 99.9% two-qubit fidelity. While it showed great speed, in the world of computing, that's a very wide accuracy gap compared to IonQ and Quantinuum.

Rigetti Computing (RGTI -0.80%) reported revenue growth of 185% year over year to $5.1 million. However, like D-Wave, its system also trails significantly in accuracy. Its Cepheus-1-108Q currently operates at a median two-qubit gate fidelity of about 99.1%, while its nine-qubit system has achieved 99.8%. While its systems are fast, it really needs to make big strides in accuracy to be considered a serious contender in the quantum race.

Accuracy is winning Based on their backlogs and revenue, IonQ and Quantinuum are showing that in the race to quantum supremacy, accuracy is more important than speed. IonQ is the leader, while Quantinuum looks poised to make a big leap. That makes these two the stocks to own in the segment right now.

As opening statements get underway in a landmark trial over claims that Meta Platforms (META.O) misled the public about the safety of Instagram and Facebook for young users and violated child privacy laws, one of the biggest fights in the case has already been resolved: whether a bipartisan group of ​U.S. states could present their claims together.

The states pushed for a single trial covering state consumer protection and federal privacy claims brought ‌by 29 attorneys general, while Meta argued for a series of smaller trials grouping states that have similar laws.

The fight was about more than courtroom logistics. The states argued that the case centers on company-wide decisions affecting young users across the country and seeks nationwide changes to Meta's platforms, and that jurors should hear a single story about Meta's actions. Meta countered that ​jurors should evaluate states' claims separately because the underlying laws differ and warned that a combined proceeding could blur important distinctions among the claims.

Ultimately, ​U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers adopted a hybrid approach for the multi-week trial, allowing Colorado, California, Kentucky and New ⁠Jersey to try their state law claims together, while also including the federal law claims brought by all of the states. Although Rogers will decide the case, ​she appointed an advisory jury whose findings may inform her final ruling.

The trial's outcome could help guide how the remaining states' claims are resolved, reshape how Facebook and Instagram ​operate, and force Meta to pay billions of dollars in penalties.

Meta has called the allegations unsubstantiated and said it stands by its work to protect teen users of its platforms.

'A PROJECTION OF UNITY'
Legal experts said in a case against a company as well-capitalized as Meta, a multistate coalition gives the states the ability to pool resources and share expertise, and it may ​improve their credibility with the jury and the judge. They said attorneys general have used the strategy repeatedly in cases against the tobacco and opioid industries to ​strengthen their bargaining power and to present evidence of conduct that allegedly affected consumers across the country.

“A jury will see all these states banding together to do this, and that ‌presents kind ⁠of like a projection of unity,” said Prentiss Cox, a former assistant state attorney general in Minnesota who is now a law professor at the University of Minnesota Law School. “Elected officials on different sides of a partisan world can agree that this is a problem that needs solving.”

The states' lawsuit, which was filed in 2023, stems from a multistate investigation into Instagram and Facebook's impact on young users. The states generally allege that Meta knowingly designed features in Instagram and Facebook to ​hook young users while assuring the public ​that the platforms were safe, conduct ⁠they argue violated state consumer protection laws.

A large portion of the states are also suing under a federal law, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, claiming Meta failed to obtain parental consent before collecting personal information from young users.

In pushing for ​smaller trials, Meta argued that a combined proceeding would require jurors to understand the different legal standards for each ​state claim, making it ⁠harder to fairly evaluate each one. The company also said it planned to defend against the claims with state-specific evidence, an approach it argued would be more difficult in a larger consolidated trial.

“The AGs offer no proof anyone in their states was misled,” a spokesperson for the company said in a statement ahead of trial. "Rather than sticking to ⁠the facts ​or the law, the states have instead decided to chase an outlandish payout."

Kentucky Attorney General Russell ​Coleman called the case the largest consumer protection lawsuit in American history.

“AGs are in the perfect position to get this done," Coleman said in a statement. "We did it with the Tobacco Settlement in the ​1990s. We did it with the companies behind the opioid crisis. We’ll do it again with Meta.”

View Our Latest Report on NVIDIA Trending Headlines about NVIDIA Here are the key news stories impacting NVIDIA this week:

Positive Sentiment: NVIDIA will provide up to $105 billion in financing and credit support for an OpenAI data center campus in Ohio. SB Energy will build and operate the site, while OpenAI has signed a 20-year lease. The project is expected to support approximately 8 gigawatts of NVIDIA-powered computing capacity, creating a potentially significant source of future GPU, networking and systems demand. Nvidia backs financing for OpenAI data center in Ohio Positive Sentiment: NVIDIA is also investing $1.5 billion in SB Energy and will be the exclusive AI-compute provider for the Ohio campus. The arrangement strengthens NVIDIA’s role in developing the power, land and data-center infrastructure needed to sell complete AI systems, rather than chips alone. Nvidia investing $1.5B in SoftBank data center developer Positive Sentiment: Wall Street executives continue to describe AI infrastructure as constrained by power and computing capacity—not capital. BlackRock’s Larry Fink estimates the U.S. alone may need more than 70 gigawatts of power for AI, reinforcing the long-term demand outlook for NVIDIA’s platforms. BlackRock’s Larry Fink discusses AI power demand Positive Sentiment: NVIDIA’s Spectrum-X co-packaged-optics switches have entered mass production, adding another potential growth driver as data-center operators expand high-speed networking capacity. Analysts also expect strong results at the company’s August 26 earnings report. Nvidia Spectrum-X switches enter mass production Neutral Sentiment: The financing strategy is attracting substantial institutional support, but individual fund managers remain divided: some increased NVIDIA positions while others sold shares or bought puts. This signals continued disagreement over how much future AI growth is already reflected in the valuation. Billionaires’ differing NVIDIA trades Negative Sentiment: Investors are questioning the risk of NVIDIA financing data centers that are expected to purchase NVIDIA equipment. Critics characterize this as a circular financing structure that could increase credit exposure and make reported AI demand harder to evaluate. The stock’s elevated valuation leaves less room for execution disappointments. NVIDIA’s circular financing structure NVIDIA Trading Down 0.1% Shares of NVDA opened at $225.01 on Tuesday.

As Walmart's same-store sales growth has leveled off and a cautious annual ​outlook dented its stock, investors are increasingly looking to the retailer's advertising business to support profits.

Walmart Connect has helped the ‌company maintain margins, helping offset the cost of keeping prices low and delivery speeds high as shoppers strained by bigger gasoline bills seek cheaper groceries and essentials, prompting Walmart to lower prices on some 7,000 items.

Same-store growth in the U.S. slowed to 4.1% in the quarter ended April 30, from roughly 4.5% in each of the previous five quarters. Walmart shares are ​up 2.6% this year at $114.33, lagging the S&P 500's 13% gain.

Walmart Connect, though, surged 44% in the quarter, its quickest pace since the company started ​reporting the figure in the first quarter of 2023. The business has benefited from growth in Walmart's membership program, ⁠which provides the customer data that powers its advertising platform.

Launched in 2019 and rebranded as Walmart Connect in 2021, Walmart's retail media business uses its ​shopper data to help brands target consumers across the company's website, app and stores, while showing whether ads translate into purchases.

Analysts expect Walmart to post ​a similar rate of growth for Connect when it reports earnings on Thursday for the quarter ended July 31, even as same-store sales growth is projected to slip below 4% for the first time since early 2024, according to LSEG data.

"The sky's the limit" for how lucrative Walmart Connect can become, said Sarah Henry, managing partner at Walmart shareholder ​Logan Capital Management.

In fact, a pullback in the business would be a problem for Walmart's stock price, said Morningstar analyst Brett Husslein, who in ​May raised his fair value estimate for Walmart to $70 per share from $62 on the back of strong advertising growth.

'AKIN TO AMAZON'
While Walmart Connect accounts for just a fraction of ‌Walmart's $713 billion ⁠in annual sales, its ample margins contribute a third of operating income. Analysts estimate around 70% gross margins for Walmart Connect.

Walmart's membership program, launched in 2020, has expanded that data advantage and strengthened customer loyalty, Husslein said. "They're building it up to the point where it starts to look a bit more akin to Amazon," he said.

Connect remains much smaller than Amazon's advertising business, but it is gaining share. Walmart Connect impressions rose 17% in the second quarter, ​compared with 9% for Amazon, according ​to market intelligence firm Sensor Tower.

Walmart ⁠declined to comment in the midst of its quiet period before quarterly results on Thursday.

GROWTH TO UNLOCK
Walmart has framed AI as the next growth phase for Walmart Connect, as more and more consumers use AI chatbots to search ​for deals. The retailer has begun testing ads in its AI shopping assistant Sparky and is rolling out ​AI tools to help ⁠advertisers create, manage and measure campaigns. Sparky's active users more than doubled in the quarter ending April 30, Walmart said in May.

Nearly a third of consumer searches now originate on AI models, according to data from digital commerce consultancy Flywheel. Ads are a "natural evolution" for chatbot apps, said Flywheel Chief Client Officer Amie ⁠Owen.

Amazon is further ​along in turning its proprietary chatbot, now called Alexa for Shopping, into a new advertising ​channel, but Walmart's 2024 acquisition of smart-TV maker Vizio has allowed it to expand Connect beyond its website and stores into streaming television.

"The idea of [consumer] data as currency is proliferating throughout this whole sector," ​Logan Capital's Henry said. "Walmart is setting the tone."

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 18, 2026) - Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. (TSXV: KLDC) (OTCQB: KLKLF) ("KLDC" or the "Company") announces receipt of the complete gold and multi-element analytical dataset from the KL West diamond drilling campaign completed on April 1, 2026. The program comprised 65 drill holes totalling 19,161.9 m and 9,616 original drill-core samples.

Integration of the analytical data with geological logging, alteration, mineralization, structural interpretation and regional geophysics has identified multiple fertile hydrothermal systems and established a district-scale framework for vectoring toward higher-priority discovery opportunities.

Highlights

Completed 65-hole, 19,161.9-metre district-scale drill campaign across 10 target areas

Identified three distinct mineralizing systems across KL West, with multiple independent discovery opportunities

Gold mineralization confirmed across multiple target areas, including:

5.57 g/t Au over 1.13 m (Winnie Lake)

1.41 g/t Au over 3.40 m (Wolverine Bend)

1.87 g/t Au over 0.80 m (Wolverine Bend)

38 holes intersected signatures associated with intrusion-related gold systems

27 holes intersected polymetallic signatures associated with VMS-style systems

Multiple priority drill corridors now identified for follow-up exploration

The importance of this program extends well beyond any single drill intersection," said Stefan Sklepowicz, Chief Executive Officer of KLDC. "Our regional targets repeatedly intersected the same fertile hydrothermal signatures along kilometre-scale corridors, giving us a much clearer understanding of the mineralizing system across the property. We can now see where the system is distal, where it becomes more focused and where gold, copper and critical-metal associations coincide. This property-wide understanding provides a more predictive framework for ranking our next generation of drill targets and reinforces the potential for multiple discoveries across KL West."

Exploration Model Update

KLDC is actively incorporating the final analytical results into QGIS and Leapfrog workflows. The next phase of work will focus on:

Refining three-dimensional targeting models and regional prospectivity maps

Prioritizing of the highest-confidence drill targets using the integrated vectoring framework

Drilling at Winnie Lake and expansion drilling along the Wolverine Bend alteration corridor

Testing potential feeder and intrusive-centre targets at Cross Roads and Nine Mile

Following the polymetallic signatures at Sharp Target and Hammerhead toward potential feeder zones

What 19,000 Metres of Drilling Achieved

The completed program has converted a collection of largely independent targets into a property-scale exploration framework. KL West can now be evaluated as a district-scale project with multiple independently testable discovery opportunities.

Previously released intervals are reproduced as originally reported and may reflect their original reporting parameters. Intervals are core lengths; true widths are not known for all regional targets.

Priority Growth Targets

Review of the complete dataset has identified several areas for increased technical focus.

1. Winnie Lake - Most Advanced Target Area

Highest gold grade in the current KL West composite table: 5.57 g/t Au over 1.13 m in KLD26-52

Coincident intrusion-related gold and polymetallic VMS-style signatures

The campaign's largest drill database: 21 holes totalling 5,732.9 m

Evidence for more than one mineralizing event within the same broader corridor

Winnie Lake remains the most advanced target area at KL West and continues to demonstrate the scale, geological complexity and overlapping signatures expected in an evolving hydrothermal system.

2. Wolverine Bend - Emerging Gold Corridor

Large potassic-hematite alteration footprint

Multiple gold-bearing composite intervals within the current database

Recurring intrusion-related Au-Bi-Te-Mo-W signature

Target remains interpreted as open along strike and at depth

Wolverine Bend is a significant follow-up target generated by the regional campaign and provides a clear opportunity to test the continuity and geometry of the broader gold-related alteration corridor.

3. Cross Roads and Nine Mile - Potential Intrusive Source Area

Strong Mo-W response at Cross Roads, including database maxima of 6,600 ppm Mo and 1,800 ppm W in KLD26-61

Au-Bi-Te-Mo-W enrichment through the broader Cross Roads-Nine Mile corridor

Geochemistry and alteration consistent with high-temperature hydrothermal activity

Future drilling can test whether this area represents an intrusive source or fluid-focus centre related to mineralized corridors elsewhere at KL West.

Data Verification and Quality Assurance/Quality Control

The drill-hole database contains 9,616 original drill-core samples with final gold and multi-element analytical results. True widths are estimated at approximately 65% to 80% of reported core-length intervals where sufficient geological information is available. Assays are reported uncut except where otherwise indicated.

All NQ drill-core samples were submitted to ALS Laboratories in Ontario, Québec and British Columbia. Gold analyses used industry-standard 50 g fire-assay methods with an atomic-absorption finish, including Au-AA24. Selected samples were re-analyzed gravimetrically where warranted. Multi-element geochemistry used four-acid digestion followed by ICP-AES and ICP-MS determination, including ME-MS61; ore-grade overlimits used methods including Cu-OG62 and Zn-OG62.

Selected intervals were screened by portable X-ray fluorescence for rapid multi-element interpretation. These results are semi-quantitative and are not used to report compliant laboratory assays. Drill core was cut by diamond saw; half was retained for reference and half submitted for analysis.

Program design, QA/QC and interpretation were conducted by qualified persons using procedures consistent with National Instrument 43-101 and industry best practices. Certified reference materials and blanks were inserted at approximately one control sample per 20 samples. ALS also maintains an internal program of reference materials, blanks and duplicate analyses. KLDC reviews analytical certificates and control-sample performance before accepting results into the final ranked database.
