Key Takeaways OXM posted Q1'26 EPS of $1.39, topping estimates.OXM expanded the gross margin to 63.4% on pricing, sourcing shifts and a higher DTC mix despite tariffs.OXM sees softer demand, guiding Q2 comps from a low-single-digit decline to flat amid brand divergence. Oxford Industries (OXM - Free Report) reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 results, marked by stable revenues and stronger-than-expected profitability, even as consumer caution and brand divergence weighed on the top-line momentum. Adjusted earnings of $1.39 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.27 by 9.50%. The company reported revenues of $391.4 million, which topped the consensus mark of $390.20 by 0.30%.
Management highlighted an improved gross margin performance, driven by sourcing initiatives and pricing actions, even as tariff costs remained a significant headwind. However, weakening demand trends into April through early June and brand-specific execution issues at Lilly Pulitzer tempered the near-term outlook.
Margin Expansion Driven by Pricing & Sourcing ShiftChairman and CEO Thomas Chubb emphasized that profitability outperformance stemmed largely from gross margin resilience, supported by multi-year sourcing optimization, pricing architecture changes and a higher mix of direct-to-consumer sales.
The adjusted gross margin improved to 63.4%, with approximately $11 million in incremental tariff costs absorbed during the quarter. Management noted that without tariffs, margins would have expanded year over year, underscoring structural progress in cost efficiency.
CFO K. Grassmyer reinforced that lower freight costs and reduced promotional intensity also contributed to margin support. The company believes several of these improvements are structural, particularly sourcing changes and channel mix.
Tommy Bahama Leads Portfolio StrengthTommy Bahama remained the standout performer, with sales increasing nearly 4% year over year and mid-single-digit direct-to-consumer comps, driven by retail and e-commerce channels.
Chubb highlighted stronger execution in core men’s categories, such as Emfielder and Boracay, alongside a notable acceleration in women’s apparel, particularly pants and woven categories. Women’s DTC sales rose 7.5%, reflecting deeper penetration into a historically under-indexed segment.
The brand also saw improved cross-category engagement, with 30% of e-commerce orders including both men’s and women’s items, signaling stronger lifestyle bundling and customer stickiness.
Lilly Pulitzer Faces Assortment & Execution GapsLilly Pulitzer underperformed expectations, with sales declining nearly 9% year over year and mid-teen negative comps in e-commerce contributing to the weakness.
Management attributed the shortfall to merchandising missteps, including gaps at entry price points, an overemphasis on vintage prints and excessive novelty-driven assortment that reduced versatility for customers.
Chubb stressed that while external factors such as weather played a role early in the quarter, the core issues were internal execution-related. He emphasized that messaging, marketing and promotional adjustments can be addressed quickly, while assortment corrections will require longer product cycles.
Johnny Was Focuses on Profitability FirstJohnny Was continued its restructuring phase, with sales declining nearly 13% year over year due to weakness in wholesale channels and reduced exposure to struggling specialty retail partners.
Despite the top-line pressure, management emphasized meaningful improvement in the gross margin, driven by tighter inventory management, reduced promotions and improved merchandising discipline.
CFO Grassmyer noted that the turnaround strategy prioritizes profitability and operational control first, with expectations for better product alignment and potential stabilization in the second half of the year.
Outlook Tempered by Softening Demand TrendsManagement pointed to a clear deceleration in sales trends through April, May and early June, prompting a more cautious view of near-term demand.
For the fiscal second quarter, OXM expects low-single-digit negative to flat comparable sales, with full-year comps revised to slightly negative to slightly positive. Full-year net sales guidance was narrowed to $1.48-$1.51 billion, reflecting softer demand assumptions.
At the same time, EPS guidance was tightened to $2.30-$2.70, with improvements in the gross margin expected to partially offset weaker sales trends, particularly in the second half.
Portfolio Execution Hinges on Brand RebalancingManagement reiterated that portfolio performance is increasingly bifurcated, with strength in Tommy Bahama and Emerging Brands offset by softness in Lilly Pulitzer and transitional dynamics at Johnny Was.
The company’s focus remains on correcting merchandising issues, improving inventory discipline and optimizing channel mix toward direct-to-consumer growth. Leadership emphasized that brand equity remains intact across the portfolio despite execution variability.
Chubb stressed that the company has been deliberately avoiding short-term defensive moves that could compromise long-term brand health, instead prioritizing product relevance and customer engagement.
OXM’s Zacks Rank & Style ScoreOxford Industries currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), reflecting a neutral stance amid mixed earnings estimate trends following the quarterly report. The system indicates stable but not accelerating earnings momentum at this stage.
You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Style Scores remain constructive, with a Value Score of A, a Growth Score of B, a Momentum Score of A and a VGM Score of A, suggesting the stock retains strong underlying quality characteristics across valuation and momentum factors.
While recent results and guidance adjustments may influence future estimate revisions, the Zacks Rank framework remains focused on the forward earnings trajectory, which may shift as analysts incorporate updated demand and margin expectations.
Trois-Rivieres, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - June 16, 2026) - RF Peinture (rfpeinture.com), a Quebec-based painting and coating restoration contractor, today announced the completion of an equipment investment program valued at approximately 400,000 dollars over the past three years. The investment expands the company's capacity for exterior coating restoration projects across residential, commercial, and industrial sites in Quebec.
A Three-Year Capital Program Focused on Performance and Safety
The investment program, initiated three years ago, was designed to upgrade the equipment used in exterior coating restoration and to support a higher operational standard on active job sites. According to the company, the program targeted three objectives: improving application quality, increasing site safety, and extending the durability of completed work.
Four Fully Equipped Trailers with Graco Spray Systems
RF Peinture now operates four trailers, each fully equipped with Graco spray systems integrated into a self-contained mobile setup. The configuration allows field crews to deploy directly to a project site with the equipment needed for the full application sequence. The company indicates that this arrangement supports consistency in application quality and reduces site setup time across project types.
The equipment investment includes:
Four trailers fully outfitted for exterior coating projectsGraco spray systems used as the primary application technology across the fleetA 60-foot aerial work platform acquired earlier this year for high-elevation projectsNew 60-Foot Aerial Platform for High-Elevation Work
Earlier this year, RF Peinture acquired a new 60-foot aerial work platform, expanding the company's autonomy on projects involving high-elevation work. The platform allows crews to access elevated surfaces without relying on subcontracted lift equipment, which the company expects will support both scheduling flexibility and safety control on larger-scale projects across Quebec.
Positioning for Larger and More Complex Projects
With the equipment program completed, RF Peinture indicates that its operational capacity now extends to projects of larger scope and greater elevation requirements than previously addressable. The company serves residential, commercial, and industrial markets in Quebec and continues to refine its application standards through the equipment now deployed.
"Looking back at the past three years, the equipment investment reflects how we wanted to structure the company for the next decade," said Felix Arseneault, Owner of RF Peinture. "The fleet we operate today is the result of a sustained capital effort, and it gives our teams the tools to deliver exterior coating restoration at a standard we set for ourselves."

The proven Zacks Rank system focuses on earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find winning stocks. Nevertheless, we know that our readers all have their own perspectives, so we are always looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong picks.
Looking at the history of these trends, perhaps none is more beloved than value investing. This strategy simply looks to identify companies that are being undervalued by the broader market. Value investors use a variety of methods, including tried-and-true valuation metrics, to find these stocks.
On top of the Zacks Rank, investors can also look at our innovative Style Scores system to find stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will want to focus on the "Value" category. Stocks with high Zacks Ranks and "A" grades for Value will be some of the highest-quality value stocks on the market today.
Hudson Pacific Properties (HPP - Free Report) is a stock many investors are watching right now. HPP is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and an A for Value. The stock holds a P/E ratio of 14.59, while its industry has an average P/E of 16.78. Over the past year, HPP's Forward P/E has been as high as 15.55 and as low as 4.61, with a median of 6.38.
HPP is also sporting a PEG ratio of 0.55. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. HPP's PEG compares to its industry's average PEG of 1.62. Over the past 52 weeks, HPP's PEG has been as high as 0.69 and as low as 0.53, with a median of 0.60.
Value investors will likely look at more than just these metrics, but the above data helps show that Hudson Pacific Properties is likely undervalued currently. And when considering the strength of its earnings outlook, HPP sticks out as one of the market's strongest value stocks.
Investors often turn to recommendations made by Wall Street analysts before making a Buy, Sell, or Hold decision about a stock. While media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm employed (or sell-side) analysts often affect a stock's price, do they really matter?
Let's take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about On Holding (ONON - Free Report) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage.
On Holding currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.42, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 24 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.42 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the 24 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 19 are Strong Buy and one is Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 79.2% and 4.2% of all recommendations.
Brokerage Recommendation Trends for ONON

The ABR suggests buying On Holding, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.
Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every "Strong Sell" recommendation, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations.
This means that the interests of these institutions are not always aligned with those of retail investors, giving little insight into the direction of a stock's future price movement. It would therefore be best to use this information to validate your own analysis or a tool that has proven to be highly effective at predicting stock price movements.
Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock's price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.
ABR Should Not Be Confused With Zacks RankAlthough both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1--5, they are different measures altogether.
Broker recommendations are the sole basis for calculating the ABR, which is typically displayed in decimals (such as 1.28). The Zacks Rank, on the other hand, is a quantitative model designed to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
It has been and continues to be the case that analysts employed by brokerage firms are overly optimistic with their recommendations. Because of their employers' vested interests, these analysts issue more favorable ratings than their research would support, misguiding investors far more often than helping them.
On the other hand, earnings estimate revisions are at the core of the Zacks Rank. And empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
In addition, the different Zacks Rank grades are applied proportionately to all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide current-year earnings estimates. In other words, this tool always maintains a balance among its five ranks.
There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices.
Should You Invest in ONON?In terms of earnings estimate revisions for On Holding, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $1.73.
Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for On Holding. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for On Holding.
Previewing the SpaceX (SPCX 3.44%) IPO earlier this year, I explained what investors should expect in three simple steps.
First: SpaceX IPO fever would make space stocks skyrocket -- and Intuitive Machines (LUNR +0.57%) raced ahead 71% in four months. Next: Investors would question whether they wanted to own a second-tier space stock like Intuitive at all, when industry leader SpaceX would soon go public. Finally: Investors would rush to sell other space stocks, and put the money in SpaceX instead. We're in this final stage now, and Intuitive Machines stock is down 23.5% since SpaceX's IPO.

Intuitive's fall was a no-brainer Intuitive Machines stock dropped another 9% through 10:50 a.m. ET today -- while SpaceX stock gained 10%. This brings to mind the old advice "follow the money," except here, the money trail is so obvious you don't actually need to do much following.
Investors are pulling money out of Intuitive and pouring it into SpaceX stock instead.

What's next for Intuitive Machines stock For Intuitive Machines investors (like me), this is discouraging -- but can Intuitive turn things around? According to data from StreetInsider.com, call options to buy Intuitive stock at higher prices are currently outrunning put options to sell by a 1.6-to-1 ratio.
That's not a huge difference. But it does suggest that some investors are expecting a turnaround.
You must admit there's a huge valuation gap between these two companies. Both Intuitive and SpaceX are unprofitable and burning cash. But Intuitive stock trades at less than 10x sales today, versus SpaceX stock that costs 130x its unprofitable sales.
In any world where math matters, this valuation gap should close over time, pushing SpaceX stock down... and Intuitive stock up.

Key Takeaways LUNR has secured NASA contracts spanning lunar transport, communications and infrastructure services.Intuitive Machines was selected for NASA's NSNS program to support Earth-Moon communications.LUNR shares have gained 36.3% in three months, while the industry declined 5.8%. Intuitive Machines, Inc. (LUNR - Free Report) is widely recognized for its lunar landing missions, but the company's relationship with NASA extends far beyond delivering payloads to the Moon. Over the past several years, Intuitive Machines has secured a growing portfolio of NASA contracts spanning lunar transportation, communications, navigation and infrastructure services.
The company's role began with NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (“CLPS”) program, which was designed to leverage private-sector capabilities to deliver scientific instruments and technology demonstrations to the lunar surface. Through multiple CLPS task orders, Intuitive Machines has become one of NASA's primary commercial partners for lunar transportation. Successful mission execution not only generates revenues but also helps establish flight heritage and operational experience that may strengthen the company's competitive position for future lunar contracts.
Beyond transportation services, Intuitive Machines is expanding into communications infrastructure. NASA selected the company for its Near Space Network Services (“NSNS”) program, which aims to establish communications and data relay capabilities between Earth and the Moon. Reliable communications will be essential as lunar missions become more frequent and increasingly complex. By helping develop this network, Intuitive Machines is moving into a higher-value segment of the lunar economy that could support recurring service revenues over time.
The company's growing backlog reflects this opportunity. With multiple NASA programs already underway and additional lunar missions planned in the coming years, Intuitive Machines has established itself as more than a mission provider. It is increasingly becoming an infrastructure partner, helping NASA build the foundation for a permanent lunar economy.
Companies Supporting Critical Government Infrastructure ProgramsSeveral aerospace and engineering firms have built strong businesses by serving as long-term infrastructure partners for government agencies and major public-sector programs:
Leidos Holdings (LDOS - Free Report) provides engineering, technology, and mission-support services across defense, intelligence, and civil government agencies. The company benefits from long-standing customer relationships and recurring contract opportunities tied to critical national programs.
KBR, Inc. (KBR - Free Report) has decades of experience supporting NASA missions and government infrastructure projects. Its expertise in systems engineering, mission operations, and technical services has helped the company maintain a significant presence in space and defense programs.
LUNR Stock’s Earnings EstimatesThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings per share implies a decrease of 2.38% year over year.

LUNR Stock Trades at a PremiumIn terms of valuation, LUNR’s forward 12-month price-to-sales (P/S) is 5.65X, a premium to the industry’s average of 2.58X.

LUNR Stock’s Price PerformanceIn the past three months, the company’s shares have risen 36.3% against the industry’s 5.8% decline.
Key Takeaways Intuitive Machines is developing communications and navigation systems for future lunar operations.LUNR is leveraging lunar mission experience to support spacecraft, payloads and surface connectivity.Expanding lunar communications capabilities broadens the company's role across the lunar value chain. Intuitive Machines, Inc. (LUNR - Free Report) continues to strengthen its position in the emerging lunar economy through investments in space communications and navigation infrastructure. As lunar exploration activities rise, reliable communications networks are becoming increasingly important for supporting spacecraft, scientific payloads and future surface operations. The company is leveraging its experience in lunar missions to build capabilities that can support long-term operations beyond Earth.
Expanding communications and navigation infrastructure around the Moon could create an important long-term growth opportunity for Intuitive Machines. Future lunar missions will require reliable systems for transmitting data, supporting navigation and maintaining connectivity between spacecraft, surface assets and mission operators. By developing capabilities in this area, the company is positioning itself to participate in a foundational layer of future lunar operations.
LUNR’s efforts also align with its broader space systems capabilities. Beyond lunar transportation services, Intuitive Machines develops space-related technologies and systems that support exploration missions and long-duration operations. Expanding communications and navigation capabilities allows the company to participate in another important layer of the lunar value chain while creating additional opportunities for future growth.
As interest in lunar exploration continues to increase, dependable communications infrastructure is expected to become an essential requirement for mission success. By expanding its capabilities in this area, Intuitive Machines is positioning itself to support future lunar operations while strengthening its role in the evolving space economy.
Companies Expanding Space Communications CapabilitiesGrowing demand for space-based communications and mission connectivity continues driving investment across the aerospace sector. Companies like AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (ASTS - Free Report) and Iridium Communications Inc. (IRDM - Free Report) are also advancing communications technologies that support space-based connectivity and network services.
AST SpaceMobile is developing a space-based communications infrastructure designed to expand direct connectivity capabilities through satellite networks.
Iridium Communications operates a global satellite communications network that provides voice and data services across the government, commercial and industrial markets.

Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX 3.44%), priced at $135 per share on June 11, opened at $150, and closed its first trading day at $160.95 -- a 19% gain that pushed its market capitalization to $2.1 trillion and made it the sixth-largest company in the United States.
Now, as of June 17, the ticker is trading over $196 a share. The $75 billion raised was the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history, eclipsing Saudi Aramco's 2019 record. All that capital isn't going to sit in a vault. It goes into Starship production, Starlink constellation expansion, Terafab manufacturing, and orbital infrastructure at a scale that was simply not possible before.
The companies that build for that spending, orbit alongside it, or sit on extraordinary hidden value tied to SpaceX's public valuation are now positioned to benefit directly. Here are five.
Image source: Getty Images.
1. Alphabet (Google) In 2015, Alphabet (GOOG +1.58%) (GOOGL +1.29%) invested $900 million in SpaceX as part of a $1 billion round. That stake -- now sitting at 6.11% of SpaceX -- is worth approximately $122 billion at the current $2 trillion valuation. For context, that single private holding is worth more than Alphabet's entire annual net income.
Until last week, this value was locked away on a balance sheet that accounting rules forced Alphabet to carry at a fraction of its actual worth. Now that SpaceX is public, that stake is marked to market every single trading day. Alphabet didn't just benefit from SpaceX going public, it crystallized one of the most extraordinary unrealized gains in corporate history.
Investors buying Alphabet today are getting a company that dominates search, cloud, and AI, with $122 billion in SpaceX exposure alongside it.

2. Rocket Lab Rocket Lab (RKLB 0.53%) is the purest-play beneficiary because it serves a part of the launch market that SpaceX can't. SpaceX is optimized for large payloads and mega-constellations. Rocket Lab's Electron rocket targets small satellites and dedicated missions that need precision orbital insertion. This is a market that grows directly alongside the commercial space economy SpaceX is creating.
The company is building out its Neutron medium-lift rocket, developing its own spacecraft components, and has signed contracts worth close to $1 billion that validate its position as the second serious launch provider in the world. As SpaceX's IPO rerates the entire sector and draws institutional capital into space infrastructure, Rocket Lab sits in the most natural position to capture that attention.

3. Kratos Defense Every satellite SpaceX launches needs a ground system to operate. Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS 3.47%) builds those systems, and its OpenSpace platform is the industry's dominant commercial software-defined satellite ground solution -- already deployed by Intelsat, SSC Space, and others. In April, it received a $446.8 million Space Systems Command contract to build the ground architecture for the U.S. military's next-generation missile warning constellation.
SpaceX's $75 billion in IPO proceeds go toward more Starlink satellites, more launches, and more orbital infrastructure. All of that creates more demand for the ground networks that talk to it. Kratos is the picks-and-shovels play that most investors haven't found yet.

4. Intuitive Machines Intuitive Machines (LUNR +0.57%) is the only commercial space company that has successfully landed on the Moon, and it is building the communications and logistics infrastructure that makes the lunar economy possible -- an economy that SpaceX's Starship is central to creating. Its first-quarter 2026 backlog hit $1.055 billion, and the company is acquiring Goonhilly Earth Station to build a permanent deep-space communications network. Intuitive Machines flies its landers on Falcon 9 rockets. Every time SpaceX deploys Starship for lunar missions, Intuitive Machines' role grows.
5. AST SpaceMobile AST SpaceMobile (ASTS 5.49%) decided, after losing a satellite on a competitor's rocket, to move its next three BlueBird satellites to a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch, targeted for mid-June 2026. That's a real vote of confidence. AST is building a space-based cellular broadband network that connects standard smartphones to satellites, with commercial agreements with AT&T and Vodafone.
SpaceX's IPO didn't create AST's opportunity, but it supercharged the sector narrative around satellite-based connectivity, which AST competes in at a different layer than Starlink. As SpaceX draws institutional attention to what becomes possible when orbital infrastructure scales, AST SpaceMobile captures some of that re-rating in a market that is still figuring out what the company is worth.
TEM weekly chart shows potential double bottom near 78.6% Fibonacci retracement zone In addition, a downtrend line across recent highs that was again confirmed on Tuesday as a resistance area. Since the line was touched or almost touched more than several times, including today, it suggests that a decisive breakout of the pattern may initially be indicated on a move above that line. However, the lower swing high of $54.75 provides a horizontal level to signal an upside breakout. Tuesday’s breakout failed to confirm with a closing price below the top boundary line.
Tuesday’s Missed Breakout and Momentum Shift The 100-day moving average is near $51.55 currently and the low for Tuesday was $51.18. That means most of Tuesday’s trading range held above the 100-day moving average for the first time since it broke below it as support on November 6. This is a sign of improving short-term bullish momentum. Moreover, with TEM now poised for a possible upside breakout, major moving averages are aligned below price and are providing trend support.
Breakout Level and Recovery Target A decisive breakout above $54.75 may signal the next leg of recovery for TEM. An initial target is near the 200-day moving average at $64.54, but a confirmed trend reversal signal would suggest that the 200-day moving average could be reclaimed given the long-term nature of the current bottoming pattern.
Key Takeaways Tempus AI posted strong diagnostics growth, led by Oncology and Hereditary volume gains. TEM's Data and Applications revenues rose 40.5%, aided by expanded deals with Merck and Gilead. TEM reported a $125.9M net loss as stock-based compensation and other costs remained high. Tempus AI (TEM - Free Report) is well poised for growth in the coming quarters due to its diagnostics volume growth and expanding data partnerships. However, large GAAP losses and multi-thread execution demands can sustain volatility for investors.
Over the past year, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company’s shares have lost 29.4% compared with the industry’s 33% decline. The S&P 500 composite has gained 29.4% over the same period.
The healthcare technology company has a market capitalization of $9.08 billion. The company’s debt to equity ratio was 2.96 compared with the industry’s 0.00. TEM’s earnings surpassed estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and missed on one occasion. The last earnings surprise was 38.10%.
Tailwinds for TEM StockDurable Diagnostics Momentum: The first-quarter 2026 results extend the growth profile across Oncology and Hereditary. Diagnostics revenues were up 34.7% year over year, driven by Oncology volume growth of 28% and Hereditary volume rise of 54%. MRD volume was about 6,500 tests in the quarter, up roughly 500% year over year, showing that newer categories can scale even as reimbursement expands more gradually. If the company sustains oncology momentum while normalizing hereditary growth, it can keep building leverage in the diagnostics base.
Expanding Data Monetization: Data and Applications growth re-accelerated in the first quarter of 2026 and continues to be supported by larger enterprise relationships. Revenues totaled $87 million, up 40.5% year over year, with Insights up 44.1%, reflecting continued demand for data licensing and modeling.
Management highlighted a new multi-year collaboration with Merck and an expanded Lens agreement with Gilead. It described quarterly bookings more than $100 million with Total Contract Value rising. The company also reported $378.4 million of remaining performance obligations tied to limited multi-year contracts, with about half expected to be recognized over the next year. As these agreements mature, data conversion can remain a steady contributor even if recognition timing is uneven.
Headwinds for TEM StockGAAP Losses Remain Elevated: Tempus is moving closer to breakeven on an adjusted basis, but GAAP results remain deeply negative and can swing with non-operating items. In the first quarter, net loss was $125.9 million and included $56.3 million of stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes plus $32.3 million of unrealized losses on marketable securities. Stock-based compensation was $52.7 million, showing that equity expense remains a high quarterly cost even as revenues grow. The timeline to GAAP profitability remains less transparent and can weigh on valuation if losses persist at scale.
Execution Complexity Across Competitive Markets and Product Scope: Tempus is advancing multiple initiatives, including pricing migrations, MRD reimbursement expansion, continued oncology growth and scaling newer software and imaging tools. Management noted hereditary growth slowed in the first quarter as comps normalized. It expects a return to mid-teens growth later in the year, which adds a pacing element to the diagnostics mix.

MRD is still in an early reimbursement rollout and the company has not fully unleashed its broader sales effort, which can limit near-term scale benefits. At the same time, higher cloud and software costs and ongoing product development can compete with near-term margin goals if execution slips.
TEM Stock Estimate TrendIn the past 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s 2026 loss per share has moved north 1 cent at 34 cents.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 revenues is pegged at $1.59 billion, suggesting a 25.2% rise from the year-ago reported number.

NEW YORK, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces an investigation into Tennant Company (NYSE:TNC) for potential violations of the federal securities laws.
If you invested in Tennant, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/tennant-company-class-action-lawsuit.
Key Details of the Tennant ($TNC) Class Action Investigation:
Investigation Overview: Securities fraud related to Tennant’s implementation and rollout of its new, company-wide enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systemStock Decline: February 24, 2026 – 23.4% Stock DropAction: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights
Why is Tennant Being Investigated for Securities Fraud?
Tennant manufactures industrial cleaning equipment, including large mechanical floor scrubbers and sweepers used in warehouses, retail stores, and other commercial facilities.
BFA is investigating whether Tennant made false and misleading statements to investors regarding the implementation and rollout of a large-scale ERP system. For instance, Tennant assured investors the project was “progressing as we’ve anticipated,” was “on time and on budget,” and that the launch of the ERP in its Asia-Pacific region had been “successful,” with Tennant stating it had “mitigated disruptions and stabilized operations.”
Why did Tennant’s Stock Drop?
On February 24, 2026, Tennant revealed that the rollout of its new ERP system in North America caused severe operational disruptions, including that it was unable to process and ship customer orders following the launch of the system. As a result, Tennant lost roughly $30 million in sales and would need to spend more than $20 million in 2026 to remediate the issues, compared to roughly $5 million the company had planned to spend.
This news caused the price of Tennant stock to drop $19.28 per share, more than 23%, from a closing price of $82.30 per share on February 23, 2026, to $63.02 per share on February 24, 2026.

Key Takeaways Signet delivered 1.8% same-store sales growth, with gains across categories and most major banners.SIG saw low-single-digit bridal and fashion growth, while AUR rose nearly 5% on premium demand.Signet raised its FY27 guidance after positive comps in 15 of the last 17 months. Signet Jewelers Limited (SIG - Free Report) delivered another quarter of comparable sales growth in first-quarter fiscal 2027, highlighting the resilience of its core brands and the effectiveness of its Grow Brand Love strategy. Same-store sales increased 1.8% in the fiscal first quarter, with growth recorded across all merchandise categories and most major banners.
Management noted that positive comparable sales were achieved in each month of the quarter, supported by strong performance during Valentine’s Day and an encouraging start to the Mother’s Day selling season.
The company’s core brands — Kay, Zales and Jared — remain at the center of its growth strategy. Signet is investing in website redesigns, improved brand storytelling and data-driven marketing initiatives to strengthen customer engagement and sharpen brand differentiation. These efforts are designed to enhance conversion rates, attract younger consumers and reinforce each banner’s unique market positioning ahead of the critical holiday season.
Comparable sales gains were supported by strength in bridal and fashion jewelry, with low-single-digit growth in each category. Merchandise average unit retail (AUR) increased nearly 5%, reflecting healthy demand at higher price points and continued traction from premium collections such as Shy, Neil Lane and Monique Lhuillier. The company also reported stronger growth in watches and services, supporting the overall sales performance.
Signet’s focus on portfolio optimization is also enhancing core brand performance. The company completed the integration of James Allen into Blue Nile, centralized diamond sourcing across North America and refined its natural diamond strategy. These initiatives are expected to improve inventory productivity, margins and customer relevance while allowing brands to better target distinct consumer segments.
Building on this momentum, management raised the midpoint of its fiscal 2027 guidance. The company has now delivered positive comparable sales in 15 of the last 17 months and expects full-year same-store sales to range from a decline of 0.75% to growth of 2.5%. With stronger brand positioning, improving customer engagement and continued operational discipline, Signet’s core brands remain well-positioned to drive sustainable growth and market share gains.

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AWS Summit -- Rubrik (NYSE: RBRK), the Security and AI Operations company, announced today its upcoming Rubrik Agent Cloud (RAC) integration with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The upcoming integration reflects Rubrik's commitment to extending the security controls customers already trust into agentic workflows.
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is the platform to build, connect, and optimize agents at scale. Through its policy engine, AgentCore enforces real-time, deterministic controls at the gateway across all agent traffic, including agent-to-tool, agent-to-LLM and agent-to-agent communications.
With this upcoming integration, Rubrik helps customers accelerate and secure the deployment of AI agents on AWS with a critical layer of semantic governance and operational resilience powered by Rubrik’s real-time, intent-based guardrails that feed into the AgentCore policy. AgentCore acts on those signals at the gateway, outside the agent's reasoning loop, so enterprise security teams can apply Rubrik's detection alongside deterministic, automated enforcement. Because detection can be probabilistic, but enforcement stays deterministic, customers gain consistent allow-or-deny decisions on every agent’s action.
Organizations using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore will be able to leverage these core Rubrik Agent Cloud capabilities:
SAGE: The industry’s leading AI governance engine designed to secure and control autonomous agents in real time. SAGE powers RAC, replacing static, manual oversight with intent-driven governance to safely scale the enterprise AI workforce while maintaining comprehensive control over agent behavior. Agent Inventory: Autodiscover agents running on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore runtime with 360° visibility into risk, access permissions and policy violations. Agent Rewind: Instantly and precisely undo an autonomous agent’s destructive action. Unified AI Control Pane: Seamlessly integrates with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, enabling administrators to manage AI security policies from the same Rubrik platform as AWS and hybrid cloud data. "Speed has always been the enterprise mandate, but today, safety is the prerequisite," said Devvret Rishi, General Manager AI, Rubrik. "Cybersecurity leaders estimate that in the next year, half or more of attacks they face will be driven by agentic AI. Rubrik’s upcoming integration with AWS Bedrock AgentCore gives enterprises the confidence to deploy AI agents quickly with trustworthy governance."
The upcoming integration with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is Rubrik's latest advancement in securing AI workloads for AWS customers. Existing RAC customers will be able to connect their policies to AgentCore and seamlessly apply SAGE native language policies and block risky actions.

UUUU stock is climbing. See the chart and price action here. The deal is the latest federal push to build a domestic critical minerals supply chain independent of China.
The loan remains conditional, subject to further due diligence, finalization of agreements and customary closing conditions.
Energy Fuels stock shot higher on the announcement, touching $18 before the opening bell and trading at $17.93 at the time of publication on Thursday.
Here are five rare earth and critical minerals stocks with U.S. government ties to watch in the wake of the announcement.
MP Materials – MP The DoD also locked in a 10-year offtake agreement for rare earth magnets and set a price floor for rare earth elements — a direct hedge against Chinese market flooding.
USA Rare Earth – USARUSA Rare Earth is developing a mine in Texas and a magnet plant in Oklahoma, with production targeted for the first half of 2026.
Critical Metals – CRMLThe company also executed a 50/50 joint venture term sheet with Romania in December 2025 for an integrated mine-to-processing supply chain.
Perpetua Resources- PPTA Perpetua Resources Corp. (NASDAQ:PPTA) secured a $2.9 billion, 13-year loan from the U.S. Export-Import Bank in May for its Stibnite gold project in Idaho — the only planned domestic source of antimony.
Antimony is critical for munitions, semiconductors, and solar panels. The Pentagon has separately backed the project.
Lithium Americas – LACThe TakeawayThe Pentagon's latest deal with Energy Fuels highlights a clear pattern: the U.S. government is taking equity stakes, issuing loans and guaranteeing offtake agreements to build critical mineral supply chains at home.
Investors should watch for more developments as the U.S. government’s support of the rare earths sector continues.

Adjusted EBITDA improved to $4.7 million from a negative $4.4 million, while gross profit swung to $9.2 million from a gross loss of $1.8 million. The results underscored the success of ALTO’s strategic realignment and enhanced earnings power.
Another major catalyst has been stronger industry fundamentals and a more favorable product mix. Robust export demand, higher export premiums relative to domestic renewable fuel sales and improving corn oil prices supported margins. Board crush margins increased to 17 cents per gallon from just 2 cents a year ago, while essential ingredients returns improved to 53.4% from 48.2%. Management also remains optimistic about demand growth from export markets and year-round E15 adoption.
Operational improvements and expansion projects are further supporting the company’s long-term outlook. Alto Ingredients is investing in projects to improve reliability, increase utilization and expand capacity. A debottlenecking project at the Pekin dry mill is expected to raise annual production capacity by about 5 million gallons, while additional CO2 infrastructure investments should enhance flexibility and support higher-value opportunities. The company is also evaluating carbon capture and sequestration initiatives that could provide additional earnings opportunities over time.
Investors are also encouraged by Alto Ingredients’ growing opportunities from Section 45Z tax credits and improving financial flexibility. The company recognized $3.9 million in tax-credit earnings during the first quarter and expects roughly $15 million in annual net proceeds from qualifying production volumes. Positive operating cash flow, lower debt and more than $94 million in borrowing capacity have further strengthened confidence in Alto Ingredients’ ability to create long-term shareholder value.
Alto Ingredients Stock’s ValuationAlto Ingredients is currently trading at a discount relative to the broader industry and several peers. The stock's forward price-to-sales ratio of 0.43 is lower than the industry average of 2.95 and the sector average of 2.31. The company is trading at a discount to Green Plains, Gevo and MGP Ingredients, whose forward price-to-sales ratios are 0.53, 1.80 and 0.70, respectively.
ALTO’s Valuation Compared to IndustryImage Source: Zacks Investment Research
Here’s Why Alto Ingredients Can Be an Attractive PlayAlto Ingredients’ strong rally is being supported by improving profitability, favorable industry conditions and expanding opportunities from Section 45Z tax credits. The company’s focus on operational optimization, capacity expansion and higher-value product streams is strengthening its earnings profile and enhancing the long-term growth prospects.

TEL AVIV, Israel, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As travel companies face increasing pressure to improve margins in a highly competitive market, new data from Mize suggests AI-powered revenue optimization has become a major source of profit recovery across the industry.
Marking its 10th anniversary, Mize revealed that its platform has generated more than $596.2 million in incremental profit for over 350+ travel companies worldwide, optimising more than 7.1 million bookings across $4.5 billion in booking value.
The figures offer a snapshot of a broader shift taking place across travel distribution. Over the past decade, travel companies have increasingly moved away from static pricing and manual revenue management toward AI-driven systems capable of making real-time commercial decisions throughout the booking lifecycle.
"When we launched in 2016, many travel businesses accepted revenue leakage as a cost of doing business," said Dor Krubiner, co-founder and CEO of Mize. "Today, AI allows companies to identify and capture revenue opportunities automatically, often in milliseconds."
The company's growth mirrors wider changes in the travel technology sector. What began as a hotel-focused optimization platform has evolved into a broader travel revenue infrastructure provider spanning hotels, flights, fintech, and partner distribution networks.
Industry observers point to growing margin pressure, rising customer acquisition costs, and increased competition as key factors driving adoption of automated revenue optimisation technologies.
According to Mize data, the company has grown from generating its first $1 million in partner profit recovery in 2017 to nearly $600 million cumulatively by 2026, reflecting the increasing role of AI in commercial travel operations.
As the industry enters a new phase of AI adoption, the company believes the next decade will focus less on automation itself and more on autonomous revenue management systems capable of continuously optimising travel products across multiple verticals and channels.
A Decade of Compounding Growth
By 2022, Mize had grown to 150 clients and established a strong presence in China and other global markets. 2023 marked a major turning point. The company rebranded from Hotelmize to Mize, reflecting its evolution from a hotel revenue optimization solution into a multi-vertical travel technology platform. That same year, Mize launched its fintech suite and expanded into East Asia and the U.S. market. In 2025, Mize acquired RightRez and officially launched SmartRate, further strengthening its position as a multi-vertical travel technology company. In 2026, Mize marks its 10th anniversary as a global travel technology company serving hundreds of companies across the world. The platform now powers a growing suite of solutions, including its Partner Network, Smart Rate, and a dedicated flight rate optimization vertical, consolidating Mize's position as the AI-driven revenue infrastructure for travel companies worldwide.
About Mize
Mize is the AI-powered profitability partner for travel companies, helping them unlock new revenue, stabilize margins, and scale operations by improving every stage of the booking cycle. Its AI-driven infrastructure delivers consistent results across hotels, flights, and future verticals, turning marginal gains into long-term competitive advantage. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Mize supports 350+ clients worldwide and has generated hundreds of millions of dollars in incremental profit for the travel industry.

CompaniesBUDAPEST, June 16 (Reuters) - Increased deployment of AI could unlock €15 billion ($17.42 billion) in productivity gains in Hungary by 2030, McKinsey said on Tuesday.
AI could help Hungary close some of its productivity gap with European neighbours, the consultancy said, while warning that Hungary could fall further behind if AI adoption lags.

Following are key points from a roundtable discussion of the McKinsey report with top Hungarian executives.
* Andras Becsei, OTP Bank (OTPB.BU), opens new tab deputy CEO: While AI could curb human resources expenses, it could boost operating costs and capital expenditure -- meaning the overall impact could be a transformation, rather than reduction, of costs.
* Peter Nagy, Magyar Telekom (MTEL.BU), opens new tab deputy CEO: AI agents are handling 20% of customer calls, and that is expected to increase. AI has helped cut the time to bring new services to market to around 30 days from 90, while allowing the company to allocate half of its network monitoring staff to more complex operations.
* Gabor Orban, Richter (GDRB.BU), opens new tab CEO: More time is needed to see how much of the hype around AI is justified and whether the productivity gains can be unlocked. The pharma industry has seen several similar upheavals in past decades, such as genomics or digitisation, which have yet to live up to their promises.
* Gergely Bacso, Allianz Hungary (ALVG.DE), opens new tab CEO: Labour costs are only one part of the issue — AI is also a matter of global competition. Cost savings for a U.S. company can be several times more than what a Hungarian one could achieve. Competition will be intense and if Hungary does not act it risks losing out to foreign players for whom adopting AI is more profitable.

AI Search Is Reshaping How Potential Clients Find Law Firms, According to New Analysis from JDM Web Technologies
As artificial intelligence continues to transform online search behavior, law firms face a rapidly changing digital landscape where visibility is increasingly influenced by AI-generated recommendations rather than traditional rankings alone.
A new analysis from JDM Web Technologies explores how AI-powered search platforms, including Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity, are changing the way prospective clients discover and evaluate legal service providers. As consumers increasingly ask AI-powered platforms questions such as "Who is the best personal injury lawyer near me?" or "Which law firm has the strongest reputation for family law?", legal practices must adapt their marketing strategies to remain competitive.
For years, law firms focused on ranking highly in traditional search engine results. Today, AI-powered search experiences are introducing a new layer of visibility. Instead of displaying a list of websites, AI systems often provide direct answers and recommendations based on a combination of authority, expertise, reputation, reviews, and trust signals. This shift is changing how law firms attract prospective clients online.
According to the analysis, several factors are becoming increasingly important for legal professionals seeking stronger visibility across AI-powered search platforms. Law firms that consistently publish educational resources, legal insights, case studies, and practice-area content often demonstrate stronger topical authority. Review quality, quantity, and consistency continue to influence how businesses are perceived by both consumers and search technologies. Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, service-area relevance, and geographic authority remain essential components of online visibility. Law firms that earn mentions from trusted legal publications, organizations, and reputable websites often develop stronger authority signals. In addition, AI systems increasingly rely on structured information to understand attorneys, practice areas, business entities, and service locations.
As legal competition continues to increase online, many firms are investing in specialized SEO strategies tailored specifically to the legal industry. JDM Web Technologies supports law firms through industry-focused legal marketing initiatives, including AttorneysSEOAgency.com, LawFirmsSEOMarketing.com, and TheLawyersSEO.com. These platforms provide insights, strategies, and resources designed to help legal professionals strengthen their online visibility, improve authority signals, and attract qualified leads in an increasingly AI-driven search environment.
"Search is evolving from a keyword-focused experience into a trust-focused experience," said Naveen Kumar, Founder of JDM Web Technologies and a digital marketing strategist with more than 17 years of experience in SEO, Local SEO, and AI search optimization. Throughout his career, he has helped businesses across multiple industries improve online visibility, generate qualified leads, and adapt to evolving search technologies.
"Law firms that establish authority, publish valuable content, build strong reputations, and maintain a credible digital presence are more likely to benefit as AI-powered search continues to influence how consumers discover legal services."
The analysis recommends that law firms focus on publishing authoritative legal content, strengthening review acquisition efforts, improving local SEO signals, building industry authority, earning mentions from trusted sources, and optimizing their digital entity presence. As AI-powered search becomes increasingly influential, legal practices that invest in long-term authority and trust-building strategies may gain a significant competitive advantage.

Washington, D.C., June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The artificial intelligence boom is showing up in an unexpected place, the household electric bill, and financial researcher Jim Rickards says the story runs deeper than power rates. In a new free presentation, he follows the strain on America's grid down to the metals required to build it.
The Strain
Peer reviewed research from North Carolina State University and partner institutions projects that electricity demand from data centers could raise U.S. power costs by a national average of 6%–29% by 2030 and by up to 57% in some regions. The finding is contested, some utility-backed analyses argue data centers are not the main driver but it has put household bills squarely in the debate.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimates data-center demand could reach 6.7%–12.0% of total U.S. electricity consumption by 2028, up from about 4.4% in 2023. However it lands on any one bill, that demand has to be met and meeting it means building a great deal of new grid.
The metal that grid runs on is already tightening. Morgan Stanley forecasts a roughly 600,000 tonne refined copper deficit in 2026, the largest in more than two decades, as mine disruptions and limited new supply collide with demand that S&P Global projects could rise 50% by 2030. Rickards uses that supply-demand gap to make his central point: the constraint on the AI build-out may be physical, not financial.
A Pattern Worth Understanding
Rickards draws a direct comparison to a situation that played out during Trump's first term. Weeks before the 2024 election, a plan to privatize Fannie Mae began circulating. The company had been bailed out by the government after the 2008 financial crisis and shares had collapsed, trading for a fraction of what the business was actually worth. Rickards says he recommended shares to a group of his readers before the news broke wide. In the year that followed, shares climbed more than 1,000%.
His point is not that history repeats exactly. It is that the setup rhymes. When a real asset is being held back by a government decision rather than any flaw in the underlying business, the market tends to misprice it heavily until that decision changes. Rickards believes the copper sitting inside this one blocked American deposit is in the same position today. The asset is real, the demand is growing, and the only thing holding the price down is a regulatory decision he expects to shift.
Why It Matters to You
Here is the part that reaches beyond the monthly bill: you cannot move that much new electricity without enormous quantities of copper, and a build-out of this scale runs straight into the question of where that copper comes from. The AI story everyone is watching may depend on a metals story almost no one is and the companies that supply those metals, along with the cost of power itself, touch ordinary households and portfolios alike.
For an investor, that reframes the obvious question, not "which AI company wins," but "what does the whole build out physically require, and who supplies it?"

, /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Robbins LLP is investigating Blaize Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BZAI) to determine whether certain Blaize Holdings, Inc. officers and directors violated securities laws and breached fiduciary duties to shareholders. Blaize Holdings, Inc. provides artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled edge computing solutions.
In late April 2026, two separate short-seller reports were published within two days of each other, both raising concerns regarding Blaize's customer agreements and business dealings. One report alleged that Blaize had "artificially boosted [its] share price by engaging in a bogus deal with a 4-month-old counterparty whose website features 'products' that appear to be photoshopped to add the Blaize logo." The report focused on Blaize's recently announced agreement with NeoTensr, which Blaize had announced was expected to generate up to $50.0 million in revenue.
A second short-seller report published shortly thereafter called Blaize a fraud and raised additional concerns regarding the Company's prior customer agreements. Following the publication of these reports, Blaize's stock price declined sharply.

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nubly AI, LLC today opened early access to its dynamic carpooling app in the San Francisco Bay Area, providing commuters with on-demand access to HOV and HOT lanes—without the friction of organizing a traditional carpool. Nubly’s real-time matching pairs drivers and riders along shared route segments in minutes. With three or more occupants, the vehicle qualifies for HOV and HOT lane access and discounted tolls on Bay Area bridges—and every person in the car saves at least 75% on commute costs compared to driving alone. Nubly is free to use; commuters pay only their share of the actual trip cost.
The time savings are the primary headline benefit. On Bay Area corridors like the Dumbarton Bridge, Highway 101, I-880, and I-680, the gap between the general lanes and the HOV/HOT lane can be 30, 45, even 60 minutes each way. Traditional carpooling has always promised exactly this benefit, but coordinating a fixed partner, fixed schedule, and fixed route has kept it impractical for most commuters. Nubly’s on-demand matching removes every one of those barriers.
“We eliminate the hassles associated with forming and being a member of a carpool.”
— Eswar Subramanian, Founder, Nubly AI, LLC
The cost savings are equally significant. While using Nubly, commuters split the actual trip cost calculated using the IRS standard mileage rate, and everyone in the car saves the same percentage — driver and rider alike. With three people in the car, every commuter saves at least 75% on that stretch compared to driving solo. Compared to rideshare platforms that charge a marked-up fare, the savings are even more dramatic.
About Nubly
Nubly is a real-time dynamic carpooling platform built for commuters in Bay Area and beyond. Its matching engine pairs drivers and riders on demand, enabling them to use HOV and HOT lanes and save at least 75% on commute costs compared to driving alone.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 17, 2026) - IAMGOLD Corporation (TSX: IMG) (NYSE: IAG) ("IAMGOLD" or the "Company") today announced that it has amended its senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), increasing the total available commitments and extending the maturity, while enhancing overall financial flexibility with improved pricing. Under the amended terms, the Credit Facility has been increased from $650 million to $850 million and the maturity date has been extended to June 17, 2030, from December 20, 2028. The amended facility also includes an accordion feature of up to $250 million, providing the potential to further increase total available liquidity, subject to lender approval. The facility remains undrawn.
"We would like to thank our lenders for their continued support and confidence in IAMGOLD," commented Renaud Adams, President and Chief Executive Officer of IAMGOLD. "The increased size, extended maturity and improved pricing strengthen our financial position, lowers our cost of capital, and provides meaningful flexibility as we advance our operating portfolio and execute on internal growth opportunities."
The amended Credit Facility benefits from improved pricing, with the applicable interest rate now set at SOFR plus a margin of 1.875% to 2.875%, based on the Company's total net leverage ratio, compared to the previous margin of 2.75% to 3.75%. The pricing grid has also been widened to accommodate a broader range of leverage levels, and the maximum total net leverage ratio covenant has been increased to 4.0x. Standby fees have also been reduced, with the increased availability under the larger facility achieved at no incremental notional standby cost. The amended terms reflect the Company's strengthened balance sheet and outlook, providing reduced borrowing costs and enhanced covenant flexibility to support capital allocation and corporate initiatives. The Credit Facility remains secured by certain of the Company's assets, supported by guarantees and pledges of shares from certain subsidiaries.
The transaction was supported by a syndicate of lenders with National Bank of Canada acting as administrative agent, and National Bank Capital Markets and RBC Capital Markets acting as Co-Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners.

For the most part, the bulk of the return from a high-yield stock tends to come from dividend income. However, some high-yield dividend stocks provide the best of both worlds. They deliver income and solid price appreciation as they grow their earnings and dividends.
Here are three high-yielding energy stocks to buy for income and hold for long-term capital gains.
Image source: Getty Images.
Brookfield Renewable Brookfield Renewable (BEPC +4.06%)(BEP +2.92%) yields more than 4%. That's well above the S&P 500's current yield of around 1.1%. The leading global renewable energy company has increased its high-yielding payout by at least 5% each year since 2011.
Brookfield expects to grow its dividend by 5% to 9% annually going forward. It should have plenty of power to achieve that plan. Brookfield expects to grow its funds from operations at a rate of more than 10% annually through 2031. Several catalysts drive that view, including inflation-linked rate increases, new renewable energy development projects, and acquisitions. Brookfield has a vast development pipeline underway and recently agreed to buy Boralex to strengthen its portfolio and growth prospects.

The company's combination of yield and growth positions it to deliver total annualized returns in the 12%-15% range. That's a robust return from a high-yield stock.
ExxonMobil ExxonMobil's (XOM 2.12%) dividend currently yields almost 3%. The global oil giant has increased its dividend payment for 43 consecutive years. Less than 5% of S&P 500 companies have achieved that milestone.
The oil company expects to deliver $25 billion in earnings growth and $35 billion in free cash flow growth by 2030, at constant prices and margins relative to 2024. That implies 13% average annual earnings growth and double-digit free cash flow growth, with even higher per-share growth due to its share repurchase program. ExxonMobil expects to generate about $145 billion in cumulative surplus cash at $65 oil. Its robust cash flows support its plan to repurchase $20 billion of its shares this year.

Exxon's double-digit annual earnings-per-share growth rate should support continued dividend increases and high-octane gains over the next five years.
Williams Williams (WMB +2.63%) also offers a nearly 3% yield. The natural gas infrastructure giant has paid a dividend for 53 consecutive years. While Williams hasn't increased its dividend every year, it has grown the payout at a 5% compound annual rate since 2020.
The pipeline giant is entering an accelerated growth phase. Demand for natural gas is surging to help power AI data centers. Williams is capitalizing on this catalyst by investing to expand its gas pipeline infrastructure and build gas power innovation projects. It's currently investing over $7 billion across four integrated power innovation projects, including gas supply, pipelines, and power generation. Additionally, it's supporting growing liquified natural gas (LNG) demand through new pipelines and a $1.9 billion direct investment in Louisiana LNG and the associated Driftwood Pipeline.

Williams' robust gas infrastructure backlog supports its expectations of growing earnings at a rate of more than 10% annually through 2030. That's an acceleration from its 5% to 7% historical growth target. The company's strong growth rate should give Williams plenty of fuel to continue increasing its dividend while driving strong stock price gains.
Lots of income and plenty of gains, too Brookfield Renewable, ExxonMobil, and Williams aren't your typical high-yielding dividend stocks. They all expect to grow their earnings at a double-digit annual rate in the coming years. That should support continued dividend increases and healthy gains in their stock prices. Their strong total return potential makes them ideal high-yield dividend stocks to buy and hold for the long term.
Brookfield Asset Management (BAM 1.13%) continues expanding its footprint -- and its revenue-bearing business. Last week, the company announced that its energy arm, Brookfield Renewable (BEP +2.92%) (BEPC +4.06%), is co-launching a joint venture with Mitsubishi HC Capital that will own and operate a portfolio of established power-generating facilities in Europe.
Many investors have probably heard of Brookfield, but might not know exactly what it is. That's largely because there is more than one publicly traded entity within the Brookfield family. Brookfield Renewable, of course, holds energy-producing assets, while Brookfield Infrastructure Partners owns pipelines, utilities, and cell phone towers. Brookfield Business Corp. has interests in everything from mortgage insurance to car rentals to manufacturing. These are all cash cow businesses that generate recurring management fees, which are ultimately distributed as dividends to their shareholders.

Brookfield Asset Management owns the organizations that manage these entities, generating dividend-supporting management fees of its own.
The arm in focus here, however, is the aforementioned Brookfield Renewable, which oversees a portfolio of privately owned stakes in solar power farms, wind energy assets, and hydropower facilities collectively capable of producing 47,300 megawatts' worth of power.
Now add 570 megawatts to that count. That's the potential output of the European wind, solar, and energy storage assets that Brookfield will soon be co-acquiring with Mitsubishi HC Capital. Presumably, this purchase will help Brookfield Renewable achieve its long-term annual dividend growth target of 5% to 9%, contributing to its larger total annual return target of 12% to 15%.
Just more of the same capital recycling It's actually not noteworthy, simply because it's not particularly unusual -- this is what Brookfield Renewable does. This is the third such joint venture announced just this year. The first one was the co-creation of Northview Energy along with partners British Columbia Investment Management Corp. and Norges Bank Investment Management. Then, in late March, Brookfield and Canadian investment manager La Caisse agreed to wholly acquire renewable energy developer Boralex.
More importantly for interested investors, these examples illustrate why Brookfield Renewable and Brookfield Asset Management are consistently successful and capable of market-beating growth: the company acquires businesses that are already up and running and cash-flow-positive, as well as businesses with potential for lateral expansion.

There's a term for this model, too. In its own words, when describing the purchase of the assets that will become Northview Energy, "we are enhancing our capital recycling strategy by launching private renewable vehicles while continuing to scale platform, minority stake, and asset-level monetizations."
In other words, Brookfield Renewable isn't making things unnecessarily difficult by building expensive projects from scratch -- projects that won't help fund themselves for years -- that require sizable, recurring, and dilutive injections of outside funding.
It's not making things unpredictable for shareholders either. Brookfield wants to co-own and wholly manage its cash-producing businesses so it can produce its targeted dividend growth without being forced to make decisions that ultimately undermine its long-term potential.
You can step into BEPC today while its forward-looking dividend yield stands at 4.3%. Just don't confuse BEPC with BEP, which is a dividend-paying limited partnership version of the same ticker, which means taxation of its income can be a little bit complicated.
Intellia Therapeutics (NTLA) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions might not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.
Key Takeaways NTLA gained 23.2% after additional phase III HAELO results for lonvo-z in hereditary angioedema.NTLA reported an 89% reduction in attacks requiring on-demand treatment versus placebo.NTLA said lonvo-z cut moderate-to-severe attack rates by 91% compared with placebo. Shares of Intellia Therapeutics (NTLA - Free Report) were up 23.2% yesterday after the company reported additional positive data from the phase III HAELO study evaluating lonvo-z (formerly NTLA-2002), an in vivo CRISPR-based gene-editing therapy, for the treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE).
What Did NTLA’s Additional Data Show?The latest data from the phase III HAELO study showed that treatment with lonvo-z reduced the monthly rate of attacks requiring on-demand by 89% and cut the monthly rate of moderate-to-severe attacks by 91% compared with placebo, the study’s other key secondary endpoints.
It can be inferred that the additional data further highlighted lonvo-z's potential to provide meaningful disease control for HAE patients. Investors appeared to be encouraged by the latest results, which likely contributed to the stock's gain following the announcement.
The data was presented at the European Academy of Allergy & Clinical Immunology annual conference 2026, held in Istanbul, Türkiye. It was also simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
NTLA Price PerformanceYear to date, shares of Intellia have rallied 65.9% against the industry’s decline of 0.7%.

NTLA’s Recent Development With Lonvo-ZIn April 2026, the company announced that the phase III HAELO study evaluating lonvo-z for the treatment of HAE had met its primary endpoint and a key secondary endpoint.
Data from the study showed that a one-time infusion of lonvo-z reduced HAE attacks by 87% compared with placebo over the six-month evaluation period, the primary endpoint of the study. The study also demonstrated that 62% of patients treated with lonvo-z were completely attack-free and therapy-free for six months, compared with just 11% with placebo, a key secondary endpoint of the HAELO study.
The treatment was well-tolerated, with mild-to-moderate side effects.
HAE is a rare genetic disorder marked by recurrent, potentially life-threatening swelling caused by excess bradykinin.
Also, in April, Intellia initiated a rolling submission of a biologics license application to the FDA seeking approval for lonvo-z for the treatment of HAE. The company plans to commercially launch lonvo-z in the first half of 2027, upon potential approval in the United States.
NTLA’s Zacks Rank & Stocks to ConsiderIntellia currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Some better-ranked stocks in the biotech sector are Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals (KNSA - Free Report) , Liquidia Corporation (LQDA - Free Report) and Immunocore (IMCR - Free Report) , each currently sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) is up triple digits and fresh off another record high. Despite a rebound in the chip sector, the S&P 500 Index (SPX) sits flat and the Nasdaq Composite Index (IXIC) is trading modestly lower.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words "anticipate," "expect," "believe," "will," "may," "should," "estimate," "project," "outlook," "forecast" or other similar words are used to identify such forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements represent Arlo's expectations or beliefs concerning future events based on information available at the time such statements were made and include statements regarding the development, features and performance of Arlo's services and products, including strategic objectives and initiatives, such as our capital allocation plan and partnerships; the recurring revenue business model; expectations regarding the size of the smart home security and aging-in-place markets, Arlo's entry into new markets, the potential size and growth rates of those markets, the ability to grow Arlo's business, and subscriber growth, adoption, and attachment rates. These statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including that consumers may choose not to adopt Arlo's new product and/or service offerings, or may adopt competing products and/or services; we may not fully realize the benefits or potential of our partnerships; product and/or service performance may be adversely affected by real-world operating conditions; changes to trade agreements, trade policies, increased tariffs and import/export regulations may negatively affect Arlo's business and supply chain expenses; and global conflicts and geopolitical issues such as the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, Ukraine or China-Taiwan relations may disrupt Arlo's ability to execute its business plan in a timely manner or at all. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based on assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. Further information on potential risk factors that could affect Arlo and its business are detailed in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, those risk factors described in its most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Given these circumstances, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Arlo undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
