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.

This exceptional outperformance has put Alto Ingredients in the spotlight and strengthened investor confidence in its improving fundamentals. The recent rally reflects optimism surrounding higher-margin product sales, favorable industry conditions, expanding opportunities from Section 45Z tax credits and ongoing operational improvements. With profitability recovering and multiple growth initiatives underway, investors are increasingly viewing Alto Ingredients’ turnaround story more favorably. Let’s examine the key drivers behind ALTO’s rally.
What’s Fueling Alto Ingredients’ Rally?Alto Ingredients’ rally is being driven by a sharp improvement in profitability and operating performance. In the first quarter of 2026, the company reported earnings of 5 cents per share against a loss of 16 cents in the year-ago quarter. 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.
Despite its sharp rally over the past year, Alto Ingredients continues to trade at an attractive valuation relative to the industry and several key peers. With improving earnings momentum, solid financial flexibility and multiple growth initiatives underway, this Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stock appears well positioned for investors seeking exposure to the renewable fuels market and long-term growth opportunities.

Scenario analysis shows ALTO trades at a 33–40% P/E discount to peers, with 2027 base and bull cases offering 73–98% upside; I rate it Strong Buy.
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?"

Rickards follows the copper shortage, the AI grid demand, and the U.S. deposit he believes sits at the center of both in a free presentation now available online. Click here to watch.

, /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.

GF Value™ verdict: Current price of $71.10 versus GF Value™ of $139.80 indicates a 49.1% upside.GF Score™ of 76/100 signifies above-average performance across key metrics.Most notable signal: No insider transactions in the last 3 months suggest stable insider sentiment. Is BAH Overvalued or Undervalued? According to the GF Value™, Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp BAH is currently significantly undervalued, with a current price of $71.10 compared to an estimated fair value of $139.80. This represents a substantial margin of safety of 49.1%, which implies that there may be an opportunity for investors if the stock price aligns with its intrinsic value in the future. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates.
While the stock is undervalued, it is essential to approach this opportunity with caution. The significant price decline over the last year, down 28.6%, may reflect underlying issues within the company or the broader market conditions. Investors should consider these factors before making any decisions.
How Does BAH's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 10.3x 23.9x Forward P/E 11.3x N/A The current P/E (TTM) of 10.3x is significantly below its 5-year median of 23.9x, indicating that the stock is trading at a much lower valuation compared to its historical trend. This P/E analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, reinforcing the view that BAH is undervalued and presents a potential opportunity for investors.
What Does BAH's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 76 Financial Strength 5/10 Profitability 9/10 Growth 9/10 Valuation 4/10 Momentum 1/10 The GF Score™ of 76/100 indicates that Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp has strong fundamentals, particularly in profitability (9/10) and growth (9/10). However, the company's financial strength is average at 5/10, and its momentum ranks the lowest at 1/10, suggesting that the stock has struggled recently in terms of price performance. The combination of these scores indicates a solid business but highlights areas where improvement is needed, especially in terms of momentum.
What Are Insiders Doing with BAH Stock? There have been no insider transactions in the last 3 months for Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. This lack of activity can suggest that insiders are either confident in the company's current valuation or may be waiting for more favorable conditions before buying or selling shares. The absence of insider movement can sometimes indicate stability, but it may also reflect a lack of urgency or optimism regarding future performance.
What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ analysis, Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp BAH is currently undervalued with a significant margin of safety. The company's strong profitability and growth rankings further support this assessment, although the weak momentum and average financial strength warrant careful consideration. Overall, BAH presents an intriguing opportunity for investors looking for value in the current market.

Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs
Pre-Market Stock Futures: Futures are trading mixed as we hit the midweek point, as the Space Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX) or SpaceX IPO rush is starting to fade somewhat. The shares of Elon Musk’s company, which were priced at $135 last Friday, traded as high as $225 on Tuesday, and the $90 premium was too much for many to pass on. By the close, the stock traded back and finished the session at $201.68. The major stock indices took a breather on Tuesday as well after a wild ride higher on the strength of the IPO and general AI/Data Center trade enthusiasm. Three of the four major indices closed lower, with the Nasdaq taking the biggest hit, closing down 1.15% at 26,376, while the Russell 2000 ended the day down 0.94% at 2,937. Closing out the losers category was the S&P 500, which closed Tuesday at 7,511, down 0.57%, while the sole winner on Tuesday was the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which closed higher by 0.64% at 51,999, after trading above 52,000 for the first time.
Treasury Bonds: Yields were lower again on Tuesday as anticipation of continued positive geopolitical news, along with the persistent narrative of an ongoing short squeeze, boosted the Treasury debt market. The 30-year long bond finished the session at 4.94%, while the benchmark 10-year note was last seen at 4.44%
Oil and Gas: The energy complex traded lower again on Tuesday as the potential for a deal with Iran looks better each day, suggesting an opening of the Strait of Hormuz, which will slowly but surely bring oil and gas back into the markets and help prices continue to trend lower. By the close, Brent Crude was down 4.50% at $79.43, while West Texas Intermediate finished the day at $76.63, down a whopping 5.10%. Natural gas had another strong day, adding to Monday’s gain to finish the session at $3.26, up 3.72%.
Gold: The precious metals complex had another positive day, albeit only modestly higher, as Gold closed trading on Tuesday at $4,330, up 0.51%, while Silver ended the day at $69.91, up just 0.05%. While Gold has remained trapped in a narrow trading range, many on Wall Street feel a breakout is imminent, as all the positive factors for the sector remain in place.
Crypto: The cryptocurrency market experienced a slight cooldown on Tuesday, with Bitcoin trading in a tight range between $65,800 and $66,400 amid modest pressure. The legacy giant closed the day near $65,800 (down roughly 1% over 24 hours in many windows). At the same time, the total crypto market cap hovered between $2.25–2.34 trillion, dipping about 1–2% amid headwinds in traditional markets and investor caution ahead of macro events. Altcoins showed mixed performance with similar mild pullbacks. The market continues to consolidate after recent rebounds, staying sensitive to news flow and risk sentiment in this 24/7 environment. At 8 AM EDT, Bitcoin was trading at $64,790, while Ethereum was quoted at $1, 797

GE Vernova (GEV - Free Report) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock.
Shares of this the energy business spun off from General Electric have returned -2.9% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +1.6% change. The Zacks Alternative Energy - Other industry, to which GE Vernova belongs, has lost 2.6% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term?
Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in a company's business prospects usually cause its stock to trend and lead to an immediate price change, there are always certain fundamental factors that ultimately drive the buy-and-hold decision.
Earnings Estimate RevisionsRather than focusing on anything else, we at Zacks prioritize evaluating the change in a company's earnings projection. This is because we believe the fair value for its stock is determined by the present value of its future stream of earnings.
Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements.
GE Vernova is expected to post earnings of $3.11 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +67.2%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +3.3%.
For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $30.59 points to a change of +72.9% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has changed +1.1%.
For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $24.38 indicates a change of -20.3% from what GE Vernova is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +0.1%.
With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. 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 GE Vernova.
The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:
12 Month EPS
Projected Revenue GrowthWhile earnings growth is arguably the most superior indicator of a company's financial health, nothing happens as such if a business isn't able to grow its revenues. After all, it's nearly impossible for a company to increase its earnings for an extended period without increasing its revenues. So, it's important to know a company's potential revenue growth.
In the case of GE Vernova, the consensus sales estimate of $10.78 billion for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +18.3%. The $45.31 billion and $51.82 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +19% and +14.4%, respectively.
Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryGE Vernova reported revenues of $9.34 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +16.3%. EPS of $1.98 for the same period compares with $0.91 a year ago.
Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $9.3 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +0.47%. The EPS surprise was +7.61%.
Over the last four quarters, GE Vernova surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time over this period.
ValuationNo investment decision can be efficient without considering a stock's valuation. Whether a stock's current price rightly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects is an essential determinant of its future price performance.
Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is.
The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an A is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.
GE Vernova is graded F on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade.
ConclusionThe facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about GE Vernova. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
Insider sales are hitting two massive stocks in industrials and retail, as well as a small-cap chip stock. Across these names, insiders are sending bearish signals, but their severity differs meaningfully. For perhaps the most widely recognized name on this list, GE Vernova NYSE: GEV, two insiders recently drastically reduced their stakes.
Insider sales are drawing attention at three stocks across industrials, retail and semiconductors. GE Vernova NYSE: GEV, TJX Companies NYSE: TJX and Impinj NASDAQ: PI have all seen notable selling, but the signals vary widely in severity. GE Vernova stands out because two insiders recently cut their directly held stakes sharply after a major run in the stock.

GE Vernova has clearly been one of the industrial sector’s biggest beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence boom. Shares delivered a total return of roughly 99% in 2025, and are hovering over a 50% return as of mid-June. The company has seen rabid demand for its natural gas turbines and electrification equipment, much of which is going toward data center demand. The company now expects its long-term backlog to hit a whopping $200 billion in 2027, one year earlier than past expectations. For reference, this would be more than four times its expected 2026 revenue of $45 billion.
However, insider sales have moved up recently. In fact, after not recording any insider sales since Q3 2025, MarketBeat has tracked $7.04 million in sales during Q2 2026. These sales come from noteworthy individuals, including Chief Accounting Officer Matthew Joseph Potvin and Victor Abate, CEO of GE Vernova’s Wind business. Neither sale came under 10b5-1 plans, indicating that they were discretionary in nature.
Furthermore, Potvin sold around 40% of his directly held shares, while Abate sold around 72%. However, it is possible these insiders have larger positions through unexercised options. Given the size and timing of these sales, they are a solidly bearish signal for GE Vernova, but don’t take away from the extremely strong demand the firm is seeing.

TJX Companies has been another strong performer, putting up a return of nearly 29% in 2025 and having gains near 9% in 2026. The company posted a strong sales beat in its latest quarter as consumers recognized the value of off-price retailers amid economic headwinds. Notably, sales growth of 9% year over year was TJX Companies’ fastest growth rate since early 2024. The company went on to increase its full-year guidance across sales, margins, and earnings per share.
However, insider sales have also taken a significant step up in Q2 2026, coming in at $21 million. That is more than five times higher than the $4.83 million of sales seen in Q1, while sales were just $122,000 a year ago. Additionally, like GE Vernova, it appears all these Q2 sales were discretionary, with none coming under 10b5-1 plans. Sales were also spread among four insiders, including CEO Ernie Herman, Chief Financial Officer John Kilnger, and Executive Board Chairman Carol Meyrowitz. Notably, Herman sold around 11% of his directly held shares, while Meyrowitz sold around 21%. Those are fairly significant sales, although these two still maintain large positions in the company.
Overall, these moves are moderately bearish for TJX Companies, although the firm’s strong underlying results are difficult to ignore.

Impinj is a lesser-known but interesting semiconductor stock. The company has a significant presence in radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. Use cases for this technology include tracking inventory and helping to prevent theft at retail stores. After putting up an approximately 20% gain in 2025, shares are down around 25% in 2026.
The stock saw a big-time up move after its latest earnings report, rising more than 20% in one day. This came as Impinj posted strong beats on both the top and bottom lines. Importantly, Impinj’s endpoint integrated circuit bookings (chips placed on items) hit a record during the quarter. The company also noted new data showing that it gained 1,700 basis points of share in the RAIN RFID market in 2025.
However, in the weeks after this report, insider Sylebra Capital LLC sold $37 million worth of shares. In total, Sylebra sold around 32% of its shares during that period. At the same time, Sylebra has been consistently selling shares over the past few years. Given that the company operates an investment fund, it is likely winding down a long-held position in Impinj. This makes it difficult to assess its sentiment, although Sylebra clearly views the surge in shares as an opportunity to sell. These sales are slightly bearish for Impinj when balancing their size versus Sylebra’s long track record of selling.
Insider Selling Looks Cautious, Not Necessarily AlarmingAcross the three stocks, GE Vernova’s insider selling looks like the clearest bearish signal because two executives sold large percentages of their directly held stakes. TJX Companies’ sales also deserve attention, given the number of senior leaders involved, but the company’s strong results and raised guidance soften the concern. Impinj’s case is more mixed, as Sylebra Capital has been reducing its stake for years.
Overall, insider selling adds a cautionary note to GE Vernova, TJX Companies and Impinj, but it does not outweigh the underlying business momentum on its own. GE Vernova’s sales look the most bearish, TJX Companies’ sales appear moderately bearish and Impinj’s selling looks more nuanced.

A new analyst has joined the ranks of GE Vernova (GEV +6.78%) trackers, and her bullish initiation of coverage helped lift the engineering company's stock on Wednesday. It flew nearly 7% higher, on an otherwise dim day for the market that saw the S&P 500 index dip by 1.2%.
Salad days The initiating party was Bernstein SocGen Group's Sunaina Ocalan, who launched her coverage of GE Vernova with an unambiguous outperform (buy) recommendation. She also set her price target for the industrial stock at $1,206 per share, nearly 15% above its most recent closing price.

According to reports, Ocalan considers GE Vernova well-positioned in a "right time, right business" situation for the global economy. In her view, current worldwide trends such as decarbonization and worries about energy security have ignited demand for the products and solutions the company offers.
The analyst added that GE Vernova is experiencing particularly heavy demand for both its turbines and equipment used to build out the electricity grid. This is occurring at a time of massive expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) compute, which is far more resource-intensive than preceding technologies.

An electrifying future I completely buy Ocalan's argument. GE Vernova's power unit, which includes the turbines she mentioned, was responsible for over half of the company's total orders in 2025. It's little wonder, given the insatiable need for both AI and grid expansion at present. To me, this stock is one of the better plays on that trend, which looks set to last for quite a long stretch of time.

NuScale Power stands out with the only U.S. NRC Standard Design Approval, providing a significant regulatory moat in the emerging SMR sector. Despite Q1 revenue dropping to $0.6 million due to project timing, SMR maintains a strong $1.2 billion liquidity position, supporting ~5 years of runway. The pending ENTRA1/TVA Power Purchase Agreement could catalyze the largest U.S. nuclear deployment, representing a major upside catalyst for SMR.
NuScale Power (SMR +4.55%) is trying to change how we generate nuclear energy. Instead of a big nuclear power plant -- with iconic bell-shaped cooling towers and domed reactors -- it wants to deploy small modular reactors (SMRs), essentially mini nuclear power plants.
NuScale shares the dream of deploying SMRs with other nuclear energy companies, like Oklo and Nano Nuclear Energy. Unlike these two, however, NuScale has an SMR design approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), a major first-mover advantage in the highly regulated nuclear power space.
NRC approval is the most commonly cited reason to buy NuScale over other novel nuclear energy stocks. But it comes with an asterisk: To date, NuScale has yet to deploy its SMR technology commercially.
Image source: Getty Images.
That said, NuScale has a few prospects lined up. Leading the way is an SMR project in Romania, which could see 463 megawatts electric (MWe) of NuScale technology installed at a former coal plant. The plant's first SMR is expected to be in commercial operation in 2033.
On top of that, NuScale's commercial partner, ENTRA1 Energy, is positioned to receive a substantial investment from Japan -- on the order of $25 billion. The investment is in support of advancing nuclear power, especially as a reliable source for artificial intelligence (AI).

NuScale stock trades about 75% lower than its all-time highs, as investors have been more cautious on SMRs in 2026 than last year. For patient investors, that pullback could create an opportunity. If NuScale can successfully bring its first commercial SMR online by 2033, the company could look very different from the pre-commercialization developer it is today.

CORVALLIS, Ore. & FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Paragon, a Mirion Technologies company and a leading supplier of safety-related products and components for the nuclear industry, has been awarded a contract by NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR), the industry-leading provider of proprietary and innovative advanced small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear technology, to complete final design development of Paragon's Highly Integrated Protection System (HIPS) for the NuScale Power Module™ (NPM). NuScale has the first and only SMR design to be approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
The award marks a significant milestone, as NuScale already has certain components of 12 power modules in production. We anticipate that nuclear plants that deploy NPMs will feature one common control room that supports up to 12 NuScale Power Modules, each capable of generating up to 77 megawatts of clean, carbon-free power.
Under the contract, Paragon will complete the non-recurring engineering and design deliverables for three critical instrumentation and control systems built on the HIPS platform. The Module Protection System (MPS) is a nuclear safety-related reactor protection system that safeguards each individual NPM. The Safety Data Interface System (SDIS) is an augmented quality, post-accident monitoring system that provides operators with essential plant data in the event of an incident. The Plant Protection System (PPS) is a non-safety-related system responsible for control room habitability functions such as HVAC. The contract also includes Independent Verification and Validation services for MPS development, an important step in qualifying safety-critical software for nuclear applications.
“Paragon has been a valuable technology partner in the development of the HIPS technology, advancing the digital instrumentation and control systems that are essential to safe and reliable plant operations,” said John Hopkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of NuScale Power. “This partnership helps us to achieve the goal of delivering reliable, carbon-free power to our customers while ensuring the highest level of safety.”
"This contract represents the culmination of years of collaboration between Paragon and NuScale, and we are proud that our HIPS platform is at the heart of the NPM's protection systems," said Doug VanTassell, President and CEO of Paragon. "The work we are doing on MPS, SDIS, and PPS is foundational to bringing the first SMR of its kind into operation, and there is no greater validation of our technology than being entrusted with the safety-critical systems of the most significant new reactor design in a generation."
HIPS was purpose-built to meet today's cybersecurity requirements and the complexity of next-generation reactor designs. The platform delivers analog-like reliability while incorporating modern diagnostics that reduce operations and maintenance costs, and its architecture can be configured from a single channel up to a full four-division Reactor Protection System. HIPS also employs Model-Based Design to integrate system behavior and design documentation into a single environment, streamlining development and regulatory review — including NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER) approval of its topical report in 2017, co-developed with NuScale.

Los Angeles, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Applied Atomics announced today that it has entered a licensing agreement with BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) in connection with BWXT’s mPower™ small modular reactor (SMR) technology. Under the agreement, Applied Atomics will have exclusive rights to use mPower in the commercial development and deployment of land-based nuclear facilities in the United States, Canada and elsewhere. BWXT retains ownership of the mPower IP and will hold exclusive manufacturing rights for all mPower components plus royalty rights for any components manufactured by Applied Atomics or other third parties.
mPower is designed as an integral pressurized light water reactor that will be manufactured in a factory and shipped by conventional transportation. It is designed to generate 195 megawatts of electricity and 575 MWth of heat per reactor.
Its integrated steam generator design eliminates the primary coolant piping found in conventional nuclear plants. By housing all primary components in a single vessel, the mPower design attempts to remove a key failure mode – the LOCA or loss of coolant accident – of traditional reactors. The reactor is designed to use standard low enriched uranium fuel and is designed for a refueling cycle of at least two years.
"BWXT spent a decade working to design mPower. Our job is to complete its development then design and deploy the first optimized, vertically integrated SMR power plant," said Benjamin Kellie, CEO of Applied Atomics.
The agreement comes as domestic electricity demand is projected to grow at its fastest rate in a generation, driven in part by data center construction that industry analysts estimate will require more than 300 gigawatts of new power capacity in the United States by 2035. In addition to utilities, Applied Atomics has identified dedicated industrial and technology sector power supply as the primary initial market for mPower deployment, citing the modular plants and site flexibility as well-suited to behind-the-meter and campus-scale configurations.
BWXT preserved the mPower engineering archive and test facilities following the program's 2017 suspension. In selecting Applied Atomics, BWXT evaluated partners against criteria including capital commitment and funding capability, deployment intent, nuclear safety culture alignment, market positioning, and its founder’s successful record commercializing other technologies.
Under the terms of the agreement, Applied Atomics will re-engage the NRC to resume mPower design certification activities and develop site-specific engineering for initial commercial deployments. Applied Atomics will also contract with BWXT to provide technical support as the licensing process advances.

Key Takeaways NuScale's E2 Centers give users hands-on exposure to simulated small modular reactor operations.The centers recreate a 12-module control room where users adjust settings and run scenarios.Simulators include digital procedures, automated controls, alerts and emergency-response tools. NuScale Power Corporation’s (SMR - Free Report) Energy Exploration Centers, or E2 Centers, are designed to make small modular reactor (“SMR”) technology easier to understand through simulation rather than theory alone. These centers give users a hands-on way to apply nuclear science and engineering principles in a simulated power plant setting. The key point is not simply education; it is practical exposure. By recreating real-world nuclear plant operation scenarios, the E2 Centers help students, researchers and future operators see how an SMR control room functions before they ever enter an operating facility.
The E2 Centers are built around an advanced simulator that recreates the control room of a 12-module NuScale power plant. Users can step into the role of a plant operator, adjust operating settings, run different scenarios and see how the reactors respond in real time. Each workstation can monitor and control any of the 12 modules, giving users a broad understanding of how a multi-reactor SMR facility operates. This is especially relevant because future SMR plants are expected to rely on digital controls, automation and coordinated management of multiple reactor units.
The biggest benefit of the E2 Centers is that they help users gain practical experience with the technologies that will be used in advanced nuclear power plants. The simulator includes features such as digital operating procedures, automated control functions, system alerts and emergency-response tools. This allows students, researchers and future operators to learn how modern nuclear facilities are monitored and managed in a safe environment. For NuScale, the E2 Centers help increase familiarity with its SMR technology while supporting workforce training and preparedness as advanced nuclear projects move closer to deployment.
While NuScale’s E2 Centers focus on building familiarity with SMR operations through training and simulation, other advanced nuclear companies are working on different reactor designs aimed at making nuclear energy more flexible, compact and deployable.
Other Advanced Reactor Designs Gain Ground
Oklo Inc.’s (OKLO - Free Report) nuclear technology is built around liquid-metal-cooled, metal-fueled fast reactors, a design OKLO says has more than 400 reactor-years of global operating history. OKLO focuses on inherent safety, meaning the reactor can stabilize itself using natural forces rather than depending only on active systems. The company also highlights fuel recycling, because fast reactors can use used nuclear fuel as input. In simple terms, OKLO aims to provide clean power, advanced fuel and radioisotopes through compact fast-reactor systems.
Meanwhile, NANO Nuclear Energy’s (NNE - Free Report) nuclear technology is centered on portable and stationary microreactors that can deliver clean, reliable energy in smaller packages than traditional reactors. NANO Nuclear is developing the patented KRONOS Micro Modular Reactor Energy System, a stationary high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, along with ZEUS, a solid-core battery reactor, and LOKI MMR for portable and space-capable uses. In simple terms, NANO Nuclear wants its microreactors to be modular, easier to deploy and useful for power, heat, microgrids and remote locations.

Global energy demand is growing exponentially, and more entities are embracing nuclear energy as a key part of this energy transition. Nuclear energy provides carbon-emission-free, reliable baseload power, making it a popular choice for hyperscalers seeking to meet energy needs while advancing low-carbon goals.
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are an emerging technology that could help hyperscalers power their artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure while also reducing strain on the electric grid, and NuScale Power (SMR +4.55%) is one company advancing this next-generation nuclear technology. If you're a prospective or current shareholder, here are one reason to buy and two reasons to sell NuScale Power stock.
Image source: Getty Images.
Reason to buy: NuScale has a first-mover advantage NuScale Power has a first-mover advantage in the SMR space as the only developer to secure a design certification from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for its 50-megawatt and 77-megawatt power modules. NRC approvals can be a drawn-out, arduous process, and this certification gives NuScale an edge over developers that are still in the pre-licensing phase.
Reason to sell No. 1: NuScale has yet to bring an SMR online NuScale has a first-mover advantage, but it hasn't yet deployed its SMR technology. In 2015, the company had a major project with the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems, which it had hoped to open by 2023. After an initial price tag estimate of $3 billion, the project experienced huge cost overruns, ballooning to $9.3 billion by 2023 before the client pulled the plug.
The company currently has one project underway in Romania, but needs to secure more deals to become commercially viable.

Reason to sell No. 2: It's on the hook for huge milestone payments NuScale is working closely with ENTRA1 Energy to help commercialize its SMR technology. ENTRA1 led an ambitious 6-gigawatt deployment plan with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). As part of this agreement, ENTRA1 is responsible for financing, developing, and owning six power plants across the region, with the TVA purchasing the electricity generated through future power-purchase agreements, which could be a huge opportunity for NuScale.
The partnership between NuScale and ENTRA1 has faced heavy scrutiny from investors due to questions about the latter's lack of operational history and qualifications, and NuScale Power is facing class-action lawsuits as a result. According to Guggenheim Securities, ENTRA1 is a three-year-old company with no track record of managing projects of this scale.
On top of that, the milestone payments from NuScale to ENTRA1 are huge. Last year, it paid a $495 million milestone payment to ENTRA1 for the TVA deal, which still hasn't led to any firm commitments. And estimates suggest NuScale could pay up to $3 billion in milestone payments under the TVA deal.
This nuclear start-up comes with significant risk NuScale Power has a first-mover advantage with its NRC design certification, but it still needs to prove its business model is scalable, which could take years. SMRs aren't expected to be operational until the 2030s, and the company has its work cut out for it securing more deals, getting them operational, and scaling up, making it a high-risk stock for investors buying today.
NuScale (SMR +4.55%), a producer of small modular reactors (SMRs), went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in May 2022. Its stock opened at $10.70 per share, set a record high of $53.43 last October, but now trades at about $11.
NuScale is volatile because it's a divisive stock. The bulls claim that its SMRs, which are smaller than conventional nuclear reactors, will reshape the nuclear energy market and address the soaring energy needs of the cloud, AI, and industrial automation markets. The bears claim it will struggle to grow its business amid intense competition and macro headwinds. Let's see which argument makes more sense -- and if it's the right time to buy or sell this nuclear stock.
Image source: Getty Images.
What are NuScale's catalysts? NuScale's SMRs, which can be installed in vessels that are only 65 feet tall and 9 feet wide, can generate up to 77 MWe. It prefabricates these reactors, and they're assembled on site to reduce the time, labor, and costs of constructing a nuclear power plant.
On their own, these SMRs are less powerful than conventional nuclear power plants, which typically generate more than 1,000 MWe. But they can be combined with additional SMRs to construct larger plants in remote areas that aren't well-suited for conventional nuclear plants.

NuScale has been working with Fluor (FLR +2.51%) to combine six of its 77 MWe SMRs to build a 462 MWe plant for Romania's RoPower. Most of its revenue comes from its front-end engineering and design (FEED) studies for that project. It's also working with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to deploy up to six gigawatts of its SMR capacity across seven states.
The bulls believe once NuScale deploys those reactors, its revenue will skyrocket, economies of scale will dilute its expenses, and it will narrow its losses. The soaring demand for nuclear power will drive more countries to deploy those SMRs. However, the bears will point out that NuScale probably won't activate any of those reactors until the early 2030s.
Is it the right time to buy or sell NuScale's stock? From 2025 to 2028, analysts expect NuScale's revenue -- which will mainly come from its FEED studies, licensing deals, and consulting work -- to rise from $31.5 million in 2025 to $310.7 million in 2028. But with a market cap of $3.4 billion, it already trades at 11 times its 2028 sales. It will also remain unprofitable for the foreseeable future.
That's probably why Fluor, which owned over half of NuScale's shares before its market debut, recently liquidated its remaining holdings. Its insiders are also still net sellers.
NuScale could have a bright future, but it's still a highly speculative stock. If you believe it will successfully deploy its SMRs in the 2030s and disrupt conventional nuclear reactors, it could be smart to nibble on the stock as the bulls look the other way. However, you should also brace for a lot of volatility -- since it doesn't look cheap relative to its near-term growth.
Key Takeaways Petrobras awarded OceanPact a R$443.7M contract for Marlim Field subsea decommissioning work.PBR's project includes pipeline recovery, riser removal, umbilical disconnection and subsea inspections.OceanPact will use ROVs, MPSVs and environmental monitoring to support safe offshore execution. Petrobras (PBR - Free Report) and OceanPact have signed a contract to decommission flexible pipelines at the Marlim Field in Brazil’s Campos Basin, focusing on subsea infrastructure removal at the P-18 platform, according to BrazilEnergyInsight. The project involves large-scale subsea engineering operations to safely recover flexible pipelines, risers and umbilicals that supported long-term deepwater production. It strengthens Brazil’s offshore decommissioning ecosystem by combining engineering precision, marine operational capability and environmental governance in a complex offshore environment.
Petrobras Offshore Decommissioning Strategy in the Campos BasinPetrobras is managing the transition of mature offshore assets in the Campos Basin through structured retirement programs. The Marlim Field is a key deepwater production hub with extensive subsea infrastructure connecting wells, manifolds and platforms such as P-18. As production declines, Petrobras follows a controlled removal strategy that prioritizes safety, seabed integrity and environmental protection. This process relies on engineering studies, risk assessments and specialized techniques suited for deepwater pipelines and umbilicals.
OceanPact Contract Scope and Subsea OperationsOceanPact’s contract, valued at R$ 443.7 million, covers subsea inspections, pipeline recovery, cutting operations and umbilical disconnection. The project begins with detailed inspections to evaluate pipeline integrity, seabed positioning and environmental conditions, which guide execution planning. Remotely operated tools are then used to cut segment pipelines into recoverable sections, while umbilicals carrying hydraulic, electrical and communication lines are carefully disconnected and retrieved. Multipurpose Support Vessels (MPSVs) equipped with dynamic positioning systems and heavy-lift cranes provide offshore operational support throughout the execution phase.
Technical Complexity of the P-18 PlatformThe P-18 platform presents a highly complex subsea environment due to its dense network of interconnected infrastructure. Flexible pipelines and risers link multiple production systems, requiring precise coordination during decommissioning to avoid disruption of nearby assets. Each pipeline segment is individually assessed based on structural condition, fatigue history and seabed location to determine safe recovery methods. Deepwater conditions, such as low visibility and variable ocean dynamics, further increase operational complexity.
Role of Subsea Technology and Marine Support SystemsRemotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are used to conduct underwater inspections, provide real-time visual feedback and support precision cutting and recovery tasks. MPSVs act as offshore operational bases, maintaining stability through dynamic positioning systems while supporting lifting operations. Subsea handling systems control the movement of recovered infrastructure from the seabed to vessel decks, reducing mechanical stress and ensuring safe transfer.
Integrated Execution Model Across OceanPact DivisionsOceanPact executes the project through an integrated operational structure. The Subsea Engineering division develops technical designs, operational procedures and risk mitigation strategies. The Subsea and Decommissioning division carries out offshore execution using ROVs and subsea tools. The Navigation division manages vessel coordination to ensure operational continuity between surface and subsea activities. EnvironPact oversees environmental monitoring and ensures compliance with Safety, Environment and Health standards across all phases of the project.
Environmental Management and Circular Economy IntegrationEnvironmental responsibility is embedded throughout the decommissioning process, with continuous monitoring of water quality, seabed conditions and marine ecosystems to ensure regulatory compliance. Recovered pipelines and umbilicals are assessed for reuse, recycling or safe disposal, supporting circular economy principles and minimizing environmental impact.
Engineering Challenges in Deepwater Pipeline RecoveryDeepwater decommissioning involves high pressure, complex seabed terrain and unpredictable ocean conditions. Flexible pipelines require careful handling to prevent structural failure during recovery. Real-time data from subsea systems supports operational decision-making, while precise coordination between vessels and underwater equipment ensures stability and safety throughout execution.
Strategic Importance of the Petrobras and OceanPact PartnershipThe partnership highlights the growing importance of specialized decommissioning services in Brazil’s offshore energy sector. As mature fields like Marlim transition toward end-of-life operations, demand for advanced subsea engineering solutions continues to rise. OceanPact’s integrated capabilities across engineering, marine operations and environmental management position it as a key contributor to complex offshore projects and reflect the industry’s shift toward safer and more sustainable asset management.
ConclusionThe Marlim Field decommissioning project marks a significant advancement in offshore engineering and subsea infrastructure management. Through the integration of advanced technology, specialized vessels and multidisciplinary expertise, the project ensures safe, efficient and environmentally responsible removal of subsea systems while supporting Brazil’s long-term offshore energy transition.

BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC), a pioneer in digital identity and authentication solutions, today announced that it is extending its agent-native provenance and verification infrastructure capabilities to the leading platforms used to build and deploy autonomous systems, including LangChain, ServiceNow Action Fabric, Salesforce Agentforce, Google Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, and Microsoft Copilot Studio. These extensions of the Digimarc platform seamle.
Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC), a pioneer in digital identity and authentication solutions, today announced that it is extending its agent-native provenance and verification infrastructure capabilities to the leading platforms used to build and deploy autonomous systems, including LangChain, ServiceNow Action Fabric, Salesforce Agentforce, Google Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, and Microsoft Copilot Studio. These extensions of the Digimarc platform seamlessly allow any AI agent created in these agentic ecosystems to cryptographically stamp outputs at the moment of creation, establish authenticity of ingested content before taking action via submission to Digimarc’s multi-layered verification engine, and retrieve a complete lineage chain from the Digimarc Lineage Vault for audit, incident response, and compliance reporting.
Enterprise agentic AI deployments are accelerating rapidly across every major platform, yet the artifacts these agents produce and interact with – including documents, decisions, recommendations, data, and media – represent unaddressed security vulnerabilities without a verifiable record of origin, authorization, or integrity. As organizations move AI from experimentation into production workflows, trust, governance, and accountability have become mission critical requirements.
The platform integrations announced today close that security gap by making provenance a first-class, natively available capability on each Agentic AI platform. By bringing provenance and verification directly into the platforms that developers already use, Digimarc is making trusted content and trusted actions native capabilities of modern AI workflows, addressing rapidly growing security and governance concerns.
HOW IT WORKS
Digimarc’s agent-native provenance platform is grounded in three powerful capabilities: a provenance stamping service that applies cryptographic signatures to agentic output; a multi-layered verification engine that goes beyond simple signature checking to cascade through provenance pointer resolution and perceptual watermark detection, returning an actionable trust verdict rather than a binary pass or fail; and the Digimarc Lineage Vault, an immutable record of every artifact’s origin, transformation, and chain of custody that supports audit, incident reconstruction, and regulatory compliance. All three capabilities are exposed through Digimarc’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, making them agent-callable on any platform without framework modification. The platform integrations announced today take this a step further and are built to support the way developers already work, so leveraging Digimarc’s capabilities require no new tools, no new frameworks, and no new infrastructure to manage.
The approach is built around a simple insight: the developer who builds an agent is typically the person who selects its tools. By embedding provenance and verification directly into the platforms that developers already use, Digimarc lowers the barrier to adoption while helping organizations establish trust and traceability across increasingly autonomous workflows. By meeting developers where they already work, Digimarc makes provenance the easy choice rather than an additional integration burden.
“AI agents are being deployed into production faster than the security and governance infrastructure to support them. As organizations begin relying on autonomous systems to do more than just create content – such as make recommendations, drive business processes, and take action – the ability to verify what those systems are acting upon has become mission critical. Digimarc’s solution is not just a signing standard, it is a verification service that tells an agent what to do when it receives content it cannot fully trust and a lineage vault that preserves the complete origin story of every artifact an agent touches. Extending our provenance and verification infrastructure to where developers are already building is about making enterprise-grade governance the easy choice, not an additional burden.”

PLATFORM INTEGRATIONS
Digimarc is extending its agent-native provenance and verification infrastructure to the platforms where enterprise agentic AI is being built and deployed today:
LangChain and LangGraphServiceNow Action FabricSalesforce AgentforceGoogle Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform.Microsoft Copilot StudioAcross all platforms, the integrations expose the same three core operations powered by Digimarc’s Illuminate platform and made available through its MCP Server: cryptographic artifact stamping; multi-tiered verification logic that helps organizations determine whether content can be trusted before downstream action occurs; and full lineage retrieval for audit, incident response, and compliance reporting.
WHAT ENTERPRISE DEVELOPERS GAIN
The promise of autonomous systems is speed and scale. The challenge is ensuring organizations can trust, audit, and govern the systems within which those agents operate. Digimarc’s agent-native provenance and verification platform allows developers to overcome these challenges without requiring expertise in cryptographic infrastructure or content authenticity technology and standards. Every agent’s output is cryptographically bound to its origin and authorization context at the moment of creation, incoming artifacts are verified using Digimarc’s proprietary multi-layered verification engine before downstream action is taken, and all interactions are recorded in an immutable audit trail.
The integrations announced today represent a critical step forward in making provenance, verification, and trust fully native capabilities of increasingly autonomous digital ecosystems. The result is a more trusted foundation for autonomous systems, enabling organizations to adopt AI at greater scale and with greater confidence by ensuring that what systems create, consume, and act upon can be verified, trusted, and traced.
