Zscaler ve 3. čtvrtletí fiskálního roku 2026 uzavřel rekordní počet ACV obchodů nad 1 milion USD. Roční opakované tržby vzrostly o 25 % na více než 3,5 miliardy USD.
Key Takeaways Zscaler closed a record number of ACV deals worth more than $1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2026.Zscaler's ARR rose 25% to over $3.5 billion as more than 700 customers adopted Zero Trust Everywhere.ZS' Z-Flex contract value topped $480 million, up more than 60% sequentially, boosting upsell opportunities. Zscaler, Inc. (ZS - Free Report) is seeing strong momentum in large enterprise deals as organizations continue to modernize their cybersecurity infrastructure. Growing demand for Zero Trust security, AI-powered protection and platform consolidation is encouraging customers to sign larger, multi-year contracts, providing the company with better revenue visibility and long-term growth opportunities.
Zscaler delivered a record performance in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. The company closed its highest-ever number of annual contract value deals worth more than $1 million for the fiscal third quarter. Annual recurring revenues increased 25% year over year to more than $3.5 billion, while remaining performance obligations climbed about 30% to nearly $6.5 billion, reflecting a healthy pipeline of future revenues.
The expanding adoption of ZS’ platform is a key driver behind these larger deals. More than 700 enterprise customers are now using Zscaler’s Zero Trust Everywhere framework, up from more than 550 in the previous quarter. Customers are increasingly deploying multiple products, including Zero Trust Users, Zero Trust Cloud, Zero Trust Branch and AI Protect, instead of purchasing standalone security solutions.
Z-Flex is also supporting deal growth. The flexible purchasing program generated more than $480 million in total contract value during the quarter, up more than 60% sequentially. By allowing customers to activate additional products within existing agreements, Z-Flex is increasing upselling opportunities.
With enterprises consolidating cybersecurity vendors and expanding AI deployments, Zscaler appears well-positioned to continue winning larger contracts. This trend should support sustained revenue growth, stronger customer retention and higher recurring revenues over the long term. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Zscaler’s fiscal 2026 revenues is pegged at $3.33 billion, implying year-over-year growth of nearly 24.6%.
How Do Zscaler’s Rivals Fare in Winning Large Deals?Two major rivals competing with Zscaler for large enterprise cybersecurity contracts are Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (PANW - Free Report) and CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (CRWD - Free Report) .
Palo Alto Networks’ platformization strategy, which combines network, cloud and security operations on one platform, is helping the company secure larger multi-product contracts and deepen relationships with global enterprises. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, revenues increased 31% year over year to $3 billion, while next-generation security ARR climbed 60% to $8.13 billion.
CrowdStrike is also gaining traction with large customers through its Falcon cybersecurity platform. In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, ARR reached approximately $5.51 billion, up 24% year over year, while revenues rose 26% to roughly $1.39 billion. The company continues to expand adoption of multiple Falcon modules, increasing average contract values and encouraging customers to standardize on a single cybersecurity platform.

BioNTech ve 2. čtvrtletí vykázala tržby 106 milionů EUR, meziročně méně z 261 milionů EUR, a snížila celoroční výhled tržeb na 1,6 až 1,9 miliardy EUR. Důvodem je slabší poptávka po vakcíně proti COVID-19.
4 Reasons Pfizer Could Be a Value Play You Can't MissBioNTech NASDAQ: BNTX reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of €106 million, down from €261 million a year earlier, as lower U.S. demand for its COVID-19 vaccine weighed on results. The prior-year quarter also benefited from a one-time compensation payment from Pfizer related to its decision to opt out of a shingles vaccine development program.
The company lowered its full-year revenue outlook to €1.6 billion to €1.9 billion, citing softer-than-expected global COVID-19 vaccine demand, Germany’s planned use of previously manufactured vaccine inventory for the upcoming season, and the delayed timing of an out-licensed research-and-development milestone. BioNTech expects most of its 2026 revenue in the second half, including a €613 million collaboration payment from Bristol Myers Squibb expected in the third quarter.

CEO Transition and Oncology Strategy Moderna Dips on Q2 Earnings But Can It Rip on a Short Squeeze?BioNTech announced that Guido Oelkers will become chief executive officer by Feb. 1 at the latest. Helmut Jeggle, chairman of the supervisory board, said Oelkers was selected for his strategic leadership, experience scaling global biopharmaceutical businesses and record of developing innovation-driven organizations.
Oelkers most recently served as CEO of Sobi, where Jeggle said he more than quadrupled revenue over nine years. Current CEO and co-founder Ugur Sahin said he will remain actively involved in preparing for Oelkers’ onboarding and characterized the transition as part of BioNTech’s evolution from a research-focused organization into a multi-product biopharmaceutical company.
Novavax Plunges on Earnings Miss: Falling Knife or Buying Opp?Sahin said BioNTech is advancing a tumor-focused oncology strategy spanning next-generation immunomodulators, antibody-drug conjugates, or ADCs, and mRNA cancer immunotherapies. The company is targeting more than 17 late-stage and pivotal-trial readouts through 2030 and beyond.
Lung Cancer Programs Advance Chief Medical Officer and co-founder Özlem Türeci highlighted progress for pumitamig, BioNTech’s investigational bispecific immunomodulator targeting PD-L1 and VEGF-A that is being developed with Bristol Myers Squibb. The company is running four registrational lung-cancer programs for the candidate, including trials in small cell lung cancer, first-line non-small cell lung cancer, PD-L1-high non-small cell lung cancer and unresectable stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer.
At the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in June, BioNTech presented global phase II data from ROSETTA-Lung 02, which is evaluating pumitamig plus chemotherapy in previously untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Among 40 evaluable patients, the combination generated unconfirmed and confirmed overall response rates of 72.5% and 62.5%, respectively, according to Türeci.
In patients with PD-L1 tumor proportion scores below 1%, the confirmed objective response rate was 47.6%. It was 77.8% among patients with scores between 1% and 49%, while all six patients with scores of at least 50% responded. Türeci said the safety profile was manageable, with no new safety signals, and that the results support the ongoing global phase III program.
BioNTech also expects a first interim analysis for gotistobart in late 2026 in pivotal-stage testing for metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Gotistobart is a selective regulatory T-cell-depleting CTLA-4 antibody being developed with OncoC4. In the non-pivotal first stage of the PRESERVE-003 study, Türeci said gotistobart reduced the risk of death by 54% versus docetaxel, with a hazard ratio of 0.46. Median overall survival had not been reached in the gotistobart arm, compared with about 10 months for docetaxel.
ADC and mRNA Programs The company dosed the first patient in a phase III study of elfetabart drozuntecan, formerly known as BNT324, in taxane-naive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The B7-H3-targeting ADC is being developed with DualityBio and is being tested against docetaxel in patients whose disease progressed after second-generation androgen receptor pathway inhibitors.
Sahin said more than 1,000 patients have received the ADC across more than 10 tumor types, including 400 treated in combination with pumitamig. He said the company has seen durable disease control and a tolerable safety profile, including no significant interstitial lung disease events observed so far among patients treated for more than a year.
BioNTech expects to present data later in 2026 from a phase I/II trial of pumitamig plus BNT324 in advanced non-small cell and small cell lung cancers. Türeci described the dataset as the first clinical data for a PD-L1/VEGF-A bispecific antibody combined with an ADC in lung cancer.
In mRNA cancer immunotherapy, enrollment has been completed in a randomized phase II trial of autogene cevumeran in high-risk stage 2 or stage 3 colorectal cancer. An independent data safety monitoring board reviewed an interim analysis in June and recommended continuing the trial without modification. BioNTech expects the final, event-driven analysis in 2027.
The company also expects a phase III progression-free-survival interim analysis later this year for BNT113, its HPV16-targeting mRNA immunotherapy being tested with pembrolizumab in first-line, PD-L1-positive HPV16-positive head and neck cancer.
Guidance, Expenses and Capital Allocation BioNTech reported adjusted research-and-development expense of €477 million in the second quarter, down from €509 million a year earlier, reflecting portfolio prioritization and favorable partner cost-sharing effects. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expense rose to €198 million from €137 million, driven by investments in operational systems, prelaunch activities and the inclusion of CureVac operations following the merger.
For 2026, the company now expects adjusted R&D expense of €2 billion to €2.3 billion, while maintaining adjusted SG&A guidance of €700 million to €800 million. BioNTech ended the quarter with €16.6 billion in cash equivalents and security investments.
CFO Ramon Zapata said the company has repurchased $152 million of shares under its up-to-$1 billion repurchase authorization. He said BioNTech’s capital-allocation priorities remain funding its priority pipeline and commercial capabilities, maintaining flexibility for external opportunities, and returning capital to shareholders.

Shares of Interactive Brokers Group (IBKR - Free Report) have lost 8.6% over the past month. It underperformed the S&P 500 Index and the industry.

One-Month Price Performance

The key question now is whether the recent share-price weakness in Interactive Brokers presents a buying opportunity or warrants a wait-and-watch approach. Let’s find out.
IBKR’s Product Diversification EffortsInteractive Brokers continues to add features that widen its addressable client base and deepen wallet share. The company has added nine new tokens for trading through Zero Hash and three new tokens through Paxos, while introducing the ability to transfer funds to external wallets via stablecoin. It also launched a unified screen for trading prediction-market contracts across Kalshi, CME and ForecastEx, along with AI integrations with Anthropic’s Claude, OpenAI’s ChatGPT and xAI’s Grok for account navigation, research and trade preparation.
It also launched CBOE binary-options trading and received preliminary conditional approval for a U.S. national trust bank charter, which is expected to support direct custody services for mutual fund and ETF clients. Further, enhancements to its Hedge Fund Marketplace have simplified fund discovery and investment while improving engagement through portfolio-manager video presentations.
These launches build on additions such as stablecoin funding, Coinbase Derivatives access and the Connections discovery feature, and complement tools like Ask IBKR and AI News Summaries. Together, these initiatives support client retention, broaden fee-generating opportunities and reduce reliance on any single product line amid intense competition. Reflecting growing global platform usage, overnight trading volumes nearly tripled year over year to 10.9 million trades in the second quarter from 3.8 million.
nteractive Brokers’ Technological Excellence Drives GrowthInteractive Brokers’ technological superiority is one of its strongest aspects. The company processes trades in stocks, digital assets, futures, options and forex on more than 160 exchanges across several countries and currencies. Unlike many of its peers, IBKR has a very low level of compensation expenses relative to net revenues. This helps the company generate solid growth.
Since its inception, Interactive Brokers has focused on proprietary software that automates broker-dealer functions. This has supported a steady rise in revenues over time, with total net revenues witnessing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.8% over 2020-2025, driven by interest income, commissions and business expansion efforts. The momentum continued in the first half of 2026, and recent operating metrics show sustained engagement.
Net revenues are expected to keep improving, driven by the company's solid Daily Average Revenue Trades (DARTs) numbers and a robust trading backdrop. This anchors the forward view to sustained engagement on the platform. The company’s technological superiority, combined with easier regulations to improve product velocity, will likely support its net revenues through higher client acquisitions.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for IBKR’s 2026 and 2027 revenues is $7.26 billion and $8.23 billion, which indicates year-over-year growth of 18% and 13.3%, respectively.

Interactive Brokers’ Global PresenceInteractive Brokers continues to scale its international platform to capture rising cross-border investing and wealth creation in emerging markets. During the second quarter, the company expanded its global and product reach by becoming the first electronic broker to offer access to both the Korea Stock Exchange and Nextrade, introducing cryptocurrency trading across Europe and providing eligible U.K. and European retail clients with access to the SpaceX IPO.
In 2025, IBKR expanded global market access by enabling eligible clients outside Brazil to trade Brazilian equities on B3 and by adding UAE equities through the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange and Dubai Financial Market. It also broadened access to Bursa Malaysia and continues pursuing growth in Taiwan, Mexico and India. It is the first SFC-licensed securities broker approved to allow retail clients to trade cryptocurrencies in Hong Kong.
A wider geographic and product footprint supports sustained account growth and helps diversify client activity across regions.
IBKR’s Efficient Capital DistributionsInteractive Brokers has a long record of dividend payments and has increased its payout in recent years. In April 2026, it announced a 9.4% hike in the dividend, following a 28% rise in 2025 and a 150% jump in 2024. Over the past five years, the company has hiked its dividend three times, with an annualized growth rate of 39.6%. It has a dividend payout ratio of 14%.
The June 2025 four-for-one stock split improved accessibility without changing fundamentals.
The company uses insignificant debt to finance its operations and ended the second quarter with substantial liquidity levels. This supports ongoing platform investment and regulatory requirements while still returning cash to shareholders over time.
Analyzing IBKR’s Earnings Estimates & ValuationOver the past seven days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Interactive Brokers’ 2026 and 2027 earnings has been revised upward to $2.69 and $3.17, respectively. This indicates year-over-year growth rates of 22.8% for 2026 and 18% for 2027.
Earnings Estimates
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
In terms of valuation, the IBKR stock looks expensive compared with the industry. The stock is trading at a forward 12-month price/earnings (P/E) of 29.49X, which is above the industry’s 13.92X.
P/E F12M
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Looking at its peers, Robinhood has a forward 12-month P/E of 38.01X and Schwab is currently trading at a P/E of 14.57X. Thus, Interactive Brokers is trading at a premium compared with Schwab but it is relatively inexpensive compared with Robinhood.
Is Now the Right Time to Buy Interactive Brokers Stock?IBKR’s expanding product suite, AI-enabled tools, global market access and rising overnight trading activity support continued client growth and revenue diversification. Its technology-driven model, low compensation burden, strong balance sheet and upward earnings revisions further strengthen the investment case.
Although the stock trades at a premium and remains sensitive to rates and elevated expenses, its revenues and earnings are expected to grow at double-digit rates through 2027. Hence, investors may consider buying the dip before renewed momentum pushes the shares higher.
At present, IBKR sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Zebra Technologies (ZBRA - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $6.35 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.35 per share. This compares to earnings of $3.61 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

Lumentum stock jumped by over 13% in the premarket session after a highly bullish statement from Mizuho. LITE soared to $881, continuing a recovery that started on July 29 when it bottomed at $594. So, will this rally continue amid the rising valuation concerns?
LITE stock has done well this year, helped by the ongoing artificial intelligence boom and the $2 billion investment from Nvidia. It has jumped by over 150% this year and 600% in the last 12 months.
The company’s optical and photonic products are used widely in the data center industry, which is seeing strong demand this year. For one, the top hyperscalers plan to spend over $750 billion in capital expenditure this year, a figure that may continue in the foreseeable future.
Lumentum counts some of the biggest companies as clients. This includes companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and Cisco.
Analysts are taking note, with most of them having a bullish outlook. In the latest note, a Mizuho analyst reiterated the bullish outlook for the company with a $1000 target. The analyst noted that the company will continue doing well, noting that its top suppliers like AXTI and Landmark continued to publish strong earnings and guidance.
Other top companies have boosted their outlooks for the company. Citigroup reiterated a buy rating, while Northland Securities hiked the target from $1,000 to $1,200. Another bullish outlook came from Citic Securities, which hiked the target from $620 to $1,186.

LITE stock is doing well because of the ongoing Lumentum earnings growth. Its recent earnings showed that its cloud and AI business pushed its revenue up by over 90% in the third quarter to $808 million.
Components revenue jumped by 77%, while Systems soared by 24%. Most notably, its gross and net profit margins continued growing as it boosted its prices.
Most notably, the company’s balance sheet has continued improving. Its cash and short-term investments soared to $3.17 billion from $1.15 billion in the second quarter. This increase was partly because of its revenue growth and Nvidia’s investment.
Analysts now believe that the company has more room to grow. Yahoo Finance data shows that analysts expect the upcoming results to show that its revenue jumped by 105% to $987 million. For the year, revenue is expected to jump by 81% to $3 billion, followed by $5.6 billion next year. Lumentum’s earnings-per-share is expected to jump from $2.06 last year to $8.23.
These numbers explain why the company’s valuation has jumped. It has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 94.80, much higher than the technology sector median of 23. This figure is much higher than the five-year average of 36. As such, these numbers mean that the company will need to publish stronger results to justify the valuation.

Eve uvedla, že její plnohodnotný prototyp eVTOL vstoupil do částečných přechodových letů a míří k dokončení plného přechodu do konce roku 2026. Certifikaci a zahájení provozu stále cílí na rok 2028.
Amazon Bets Big on BETA: Why Analysts See 50% UpsideEVE NYSE: EVEX said its full-scale engineering prototype has entered partial transition flight testing as the electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft developer targets full transition by the end of 2026 and certification and entry into service in 2028.
Chief Executive Officer Johann Bordais said the company resumed its flight campaign after completing a planned three-month ground-test period focused on software upgrades and system integration. The work included testing the synchronization of the aircraft’s lifter rotors and pusher propeller, as well as ground testing of avionics, actuators and flight-control systems with motors powered on.
Get EVE alerts:
Flying Cars and Rising Bars: The 2026 eVTOL Breakout BeginsThe prototype has completed 66 flights and logged 2 hours and 46 minutes of airtime, according to Bordais. Eve has validated 150 test points during the program and accumulated more than 15,000 hours of component and systems testing across its development infrastructure.
Transition flight program advances The aircraft is now conducting partial transition flights, in which it accelerates forward by engaging its pusher while the lifter rotors remain powered. Bordais said the pusher initially operated at low revolutions and was subsequently increased to about 1,200 RPM, enabling forward flight at 30 knots, or roughly 35 miles per hour.
Don’t Miss These 3 Hidden Aerospace Gems Before They Take OffIn the coming weeks, Eve plans to increase speed progressively to 60 knots and then to 80 to 90 knots. Full transition will occur when the lifter rotors are powered off and lift is generated by air flowing over the wing, allowing the aircraft to operate like a conventional airplane.
Bordais said the company expects to need approximately 30 to 40 additional flights to complete the full transition, with timing still targeted for the end of the year. He said the company does not intend to “cut any corners” in the testing campaign, which is designed to expand the flight envelope while transferring findings into the certification-conforming aircraft program.
Marcelo Basile, Eve’s chief flight prototype engineer, said the company expects to build six conforming prototypes next year. The first will focus on flight-envelope expansion, handling qualities and performance. Other aircraft will support testing of propulsion, electrical systems, avionics, cabin systems, and function-and-reliability requirements. The sixth prototype will be the closest to a series-production aircraft, he said.
Eve plans the first crewed conforming-prototype flight for the second half of 2027. Bordais said the company expects the conforming aircraft to fly for about 12 months before certification, supporting its 2028 entry-into-service target.
Certification, suppliers and infrastructure The company said its means-of-compliance process with Brazil’s civil aviation authority, ANAC, is nearly complete. These requirements outline the tests needed to demonstrate that aircraft components meet certification standards. Some suppliers have already begun testing components for which compliance methods have been aligned with ANAC, Bordais said.
ANAC has opened an industry consultation on an updated airworthiness certification basis that Eve said reflects alignment with the Federal Aviation Administration. The consultation ends Aug. 18. ANAC also published proposed noise certification criteria for Eve’s E100 aircraft following engagement with the company, according to Bordais.
Eve has applied through ANAC for type-certificate validation by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. Bordais said EASA certification is expected 12 to 15 months after approvals from ANAC and the FAA.
On the supply chain, Bordais said Eve has approximately 22 suppliers, with major contracts negotiated since 2023, beginning with the battery and propulsion systems. The company is conducting critical design reviews with suppliers and expects to freeze the aircraft design by the end of 2026, allowing only minor changes afterward.
Eve also announced partnerships with Hitachi and the Florida Department of Transportation. The Hitachi relationship is intended to address vertiport electrical-grid connections, charging cycles and integration of new energy demand. The Florida partnership will focus on infrastructure, operating procedures and airspace navigation needed to integrate urban air mobility into the state’s transportation network.
Liquidity, costs and production spending Chief Financial Officer Eduardo Couto said Eve ended the second quarter with $403 million in cash and total liquidity of $531 million, including $128 million of undrawn credit facilities. The company believes its liquidity is sufficient to fund operations through 2028 without additional funding.
Second-quarter cash consumption was $49 million, while cash burn for the first half totaled $118 million. Eve expects full-year cash consumption to remain near the midpoint of its previously stated $225 million to $275 million range.
Research and development expense was $29 million in the second quarter, down from roughly $55 million in prior quarters due to supplier agreements that were more favorable than expected and program-development updates. Couto said R&D spending is expected to return to about $50 million per quarter going forward. Selling, general and administrative expense was $8 million, and net loss was $34 million.
The company identified $100 million to $150 million in potential synergies and cost avoidance over the next three years through its relationship with Embraer. Couto said slightly less than one-third of those savings is expected this year, with the remainder expected in 2027 and 2028.
Cost-saving efforts include shifting certain administrative activities to Embraer, improving the master services agreement covering engineering resources, and using Embraer facilities and industrial assets to avoid duplicative investments. Eve expects approximately $20 million of capital expenditures this year, around $50 million next year, and $30 million to $40 million in 2028, for roughly $100 million of total investment in modular production capacity.
Backlog expands at Farnborough At the Farnborough Airshow, Eve announced two new letters of intent covering 46 aircraft: one from Moov for operations in Cape Verde and another from Shearwater, a Bay Point Capital Company affiliate and new leasing customer. The additions brought Eve’s stated preorder backlog to about 2,700 aircraft, valued at approximately $13.5 billion at list prices.
Bordais said the company has about 100 firm aircraft orders from Revo and AirX, while the broader backlog includes letters of intent. He said Eve is pursuing both direct sales to operators and sales to leasing companies, which can then lease aircraft to operators.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

SEI a WTW rozšiřují spolupráci na vývoji řešení pro private markets v plánech 401(k) a na širším trhu plánů s definovanými příspěvky v USA. Cílem je zpřístupnit účastníkům diverzifikovanější zdroje výnosu.
Collaboration Aims to Broaden Access to Alternative Products in Retirement Ecosystem
, /PRNewswire/ -- SEI® (NASDAQ: SEIC) and WTW Investments, a global advisory, broking, and solutions company, today announced an expansion of their strategic relationship to support the development of private markets solutions for the 401(k) and broader U.S. defined contribution market.
Building on WTW's experience integrating private markets into defined contribution (DC) solutions since 2018, the relationship combines WTW's investment research and portfolio implementation capabilities with SEI's trust and platform capabilities through SEI Trust Company (STC), a leading provider of trustee, operational, and administrative services for collective investment trusts (CITs).
Together, the firms aim to help plan sponsors and participants gain access to more diversified sources of return through structures designed for the operational, governance and liquidity needs of the DC market. The collaboration also reflects growing demand for institutionalized structures that can help bring alternative investment strategies into defined contribution plans with the governance, oversight, and operational support required by the retirement market.
Commenting on the expanded partnership, Christy Loop, Head of U.S. Wealth and Strategic Initiatives at WTW, said:
"A key challenge for defined contribution plans is ensuring sponsors have the right wrapper, structure and terms to integrate diversifying exposures like private credit. By combining our strengths with SEI's expertise in designing fit for purpose vehicles for DC plans, we can expand participant access to private markets, enhancing diversification and providing differentiated sources of return to support long-term wealth accumulation."
WTW will provide investment and operational due diligence and research support for private markets strategies used in retirement-focused CIT and evergreen solutions. As part of the expanded relationship, WTW selected SEI Trust Company to support the delivery of certain WTW retirement solutions through CIT structures, reflecting the firms' broader collaboration across retirement and private markets initiatives.
The firms are also collaborating on the design of new products and structures intended to broaden access to private markets through vehicles suited to the needs of defined contribution plans. The expanded relationship reflects a shared commitment to product innovation and to helping the retirement market—including plan sponsors, consultants, and investment managers—evaluate how private markets exposures can be integrated into DC plans over time at scale and with appropriate risk management.
Sean Lawlor, Head of Public Markets for SEI's Investment Managers business, added:
"The ongoing convergence of public and private markets is fueling new opportunities for more diversified investment solutions through flexible, efficient CIT vehicles. With more than 30 years of experience as an independent CIT trustee, SEI's operational expertise complements WTW's investment acumen and supports the delivery of these strategies in a vehicle designed for scale, governance, and the evolving needs of the defined contribution ecosystem.
"Together, we're helping connect private markets innovation with retirement-focused solutions designed to support long-term participant outcomes."

Perma-Fix Environmental Services uzavřela strategické partnerství s Mirion Technologies v rámci programu Mentor-Protégé pro zakázky na jadernou sanaci pro DOE. Cílí na větší a technicky náročnější projekty.
ATLANTA, Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: PESI), a global leader in nuclear waste management and environmental remediation solutions, announced today the formation of a strategic Partnership with Mirion Technologies, under the Small Business Administration’s Mentor-Protégé Program.
The formation of the strategic partnership reinforces Perma-Fix’s leadership in the U.S. nuclear cleanup market in support of the Department of Energy (DOE) and its Office of Environmental Management’s mission to reduce risks from the Cold War nuclear legacy and advance safe, permanent solutions for complex radioactive and hazardous waste.
“This Partnership represents a natural evolution of Perma-Fix’s strategy to expand our leadership across the DOE environmental management landscape. As cleanup missions continue to grow in complexity, we believe customers increasingly value solutions that combine specialized treatment infrastructure, radiological expertise, and disciplined execution. Perma-Fix’s waste management and remediation capabilities are the cornerstone of this Partnership, and Mirion’s instrumentation expertise further strengthens our ability to compete for and support larger, more technically demanding cleanup opportunities,” said Mark Duff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Perma-Fix.
The Perma-Fix and Mirion Technologies partnership will leverage Perma-Fix’s more than 30 years of experience in nuclear waste treatment, environmental remediation, project management, and waste disposition, complemented by Mirion Technologies’ expertise in radiation detection, measurement, monitoring, and advanced nuclear instrumentation. The Partnership will focus on opportunities involving advanced waste characterization and segregation, radiological measurement and non-destructive assay, waste processing, packaging, transportation, and disposal support for complex nuclear and environmental remediation projects. Together, the Partnership is intended to support earlier and more accurate waste segregation, optimized disposal pathways, reduced disposal costs and timelines, and improved project execution across major DOE cleanup programs.
The Mentor-Protégé relationship aligns with Perma-Fix’s broader strategy of expanding its participation in long-duration nuclear cleanup and waste treatment programs. As the Company continues to invest in treatment capacity, permitting, and operational readiness across its nuclear platform, management believes strategic partnerships such as this can further strengthen Perma-Fix’s ability to address emerging federal remediation opportunities, including longstanding experience at key DOE facilities such as Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Senátoři Elizabeth Warren a Richard Blumenthal vyzvali SEC k vyšetření memecoinu TRUMP kvůli možnému market manipulation a riziku „rug pull“. TRM Labs uvedla, že přímý důkaz o rug pull chybí, ale varuje před koncentrací nabídky u insiderů.
US President Donald Trump has stood out in recent headlines for his support of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. In fact, Trump and his wife have altcoins bearing their own names, and his family also has cryptocurrency projects.
While some anti-crypto US Democratic senators have opposed this, most recently Democratic senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal sent a formal letter to the SEC regarding Donald Trump’s Solana-based memecoin, Official Trump (TRUMP).
According to CNN, senators have written a letter requesting an investigation into Trump’s altcoin for potential market manipulation and practices that could harm investors.
According to the report, Warren and Blumenthal stated in the letter that it should be investigated whether Trump poses a risk of “rug pull,” citing the irreversible losses suffered by millions of investors.
No Rug-Pull Symptoms! As the Trump controversy continues, blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs stated that there is no definitive evidence that the Trump token was designed specifically for rug-pulling purposes.
However, TRM Labs emphasized that the concentration of a significant portion of the token supply among insiders or linked addresses is a risk factor that needs to be closely monitored.
TRM Labs stated in its assessment that while early investors and the issuer of the TRUMP token made significant gains, numerous individual investors who bought later faced substantial losses.
At this point, the company noted that a structure in which approximately 1 million retail investors suffered losses, even if not technically classified as a rug pull, could become more controversial over time.

« PREVIOUS HEADLINESinclair (SBGI) to Post Quarterly Earnings on Wednesday
NEXT HEADLINE »Petards Group (LON:PEG) Stock Price Crosses Below Two Hundred Day Moving Average – Here’s What Happened
Valero ve 2. čtvrtletí překonala odhady: upravený zisk činil 12,54 USD na akcii a tržby vzrostly o 48,8 % na 44,48 miliardy USD. Zisk podpořily rafinace, obnovitelná nafta i ethanol.
Key Takeaways VLO's Q2 earnings and sales topped estimates as all three reportable segments posted higher profits.VLO's refining margin rose to $6.34 billion as gasoline and distillate economics strengthened.VLO returned $2.6 billion to stockholders while ending Q2 with $7.87 billion in cash and equivalents. Valero Energy Corporation (VLO - Free Report) delivered a second-quarter 2026 beat that changed the shape of its near-term earnings story. Adjusted earnings reached $12.54 per share, while revenues increased 48.8% to $44.48 billion, with both measures topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
The result was not just a refining windfall. Renewable diesel and ethanol also posted sharp profit gains, giving Valero three meaningful earnings engines as it moves through 2026.
Valero’s Q2 Beat Was Broad-BasedAdjusted earnings rose from $2.28 per share a year earlier, and the 27.1% earnings surprise was paired with a 23.7% sales surprise. That combination shows the quarter’s strength extended beyond one margin or operating statistic.
Operating income reached $5.20 billion, up from $997 million. The mix matters because each reportable segment contributed more profit than in the prior-year quarter.
VLO’s Refining Margins Drove the UpsideRefining margin increased to $6.34 billion from $3.28 billion, while segment operating income rose to $4.47 billion from $1.27 billion. Stronger gasoline and distillate economics lifted refining margin per barrel to $23.62 from $12.35.
Throughput averaged about 3 million barrels per day, with the Gulf Coast supplying roughly 62% of the total. Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC - Free Report) , which also operates a refining system of about 3 million barrels per day, provides a useful peer reference for how scale and feedstock flexibility can amplify tight product markets.
Valero’s Renewable Diesel Business ReboundedRenewable Diesel swung to operating income of $717 million from a $79 million loss. Margin per gallon rose to $2.52 from 22 cents as renewable credit values increased faster than fat-based feedstock costs.
Management sees support through 2026 and 2027 from established renewable-volume obligations, but the segment remains sensitive to credit values and eligible-feedstock economics. Phillips 66 (PSX - Free Report) , which produces renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel at its Rodeo complex, faces similar policy and feedstock variables across its lower-carbon platform.
VLO’s Ethanol Segment Added Another Profit EngineEthanol operating income increased to $318 million from $54 million even though external revenues stayed flat at $1 billion. Ethanol margin increased to $489 million from $217 million, reflecting much better conversion economics.
Production credits added another structural benefit. Valero expects roughly 17 cents per gallon for 2026 and about 19 cents per gallon from 2027 through 2029, compared with a historical mid-cycle ethanol margin of about 25 cents.
Valero’s Cash Windfall Expands Its OptionsAdjusted operating cash flow totaled $4.49 billion, and Valero returned $2.6 billion, or 59%, to stockholders. Cash and cash equivalents ended the quarter at $7.87 billion, above the company’s long-term target of $4 billion to $5 billion.
That liquidity can cushion commodity-driven working-capital swings while supporting the $230 million St. Charles optimization project and Port Arthur repairs. Valero estimates the Port Arthur work at $250 million and expects a substantial portion to be covered by insurance.
Valero’s Earnings Outlook and Estimate TrendsThe Zacks Consensus Estimate calls for earnings of $12.31 per share in the current quarter and $6.90 in the next quarter. For 2026, the consensus mark is $36.95 per share, followed by $26.70 for 2027, implying a 27.7% year-over-year decline after this year’s surge.
The estimate range remains wide, underscoring the sensitivity of results to refining margins and renewable-fuel economics.

VLO’s Strong Quarter Still Faces Durability TestsValero’s second-quarter performance broadened its 2026 earnings mix, but investors should not treat one exceptional period as a permanent run rate. Refining-margin normalization, renewable-policy changes and repair execution remain the main durability tests.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Valero has a Value Score of A, Growth Score of A, Momentum Score of B and VGM Score of A. That combination points to favorable estimate-revision trends and solid style characteristics over the near term, while the projected earnings decline in 2027 argues for continued attention to cyclicality.
Hamilton Lane (HLNE - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.94 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.52 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.31 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +27.63%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this private-market investment firm would post earnings of $1.43 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.49, delivering a surprise of +4.2%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Hamilton Lane shares have lost about 29.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 11%.
What's Next for Hamilton Lane?While Hamilton Lane has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Hamilton Lane was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Bittensor spustil Root Reborn, který mění staking TAO na aktivní alokační systém s reinvestovanými dividendami. Projekt má podle návrhu snížit mechanický prodejní tlak na TAO až o 33 %.
Bittensor just reimagined what staking looks like on its network, and the result reads less like a protocol upgrade and more like the launch of an on-chain asset management layer.
The Root Reborn upgrade, tagged as runtime v441, transforms root staking from a passive dividend machine into a competitive allocation system. Validators no longer just sit there collecting rewards. They now build curated “baskets” of subnet alpha holdings, reinvesting dividends instead of dumping them for TAO at regular intervals. TAO’s price jumped roughly 5% on the announcement.
How Root Reborn actually works Root Reborn flips the old system entirely. Validators now set public root weights to determine how capital gets distributed among Bittensor’s various AI-focused subnets. They pick which subnets to allocate to, with a minimum of 8 destinations when the feature is enabled, and their stakers ride along.

Stakers subscribe TAO to a validator’s fund and accrue yield automatically as a fraction of that fund. The default mode lets dividends compound without triggering trades. That eliminates the forced selling that was dragging on subnet token prices. It also sidesteps what the proposal identifies as adverse tax implications for stakers, since unrealized gains sitting in a basket aren’t taxable events in most jurisdictions the way recurring token swaps might be.
The proposal was architected by a developer known as “unconst” and unveiled on June 17. It targets several structural problems simultaneously: persistent sell pressure on subnet tokens, the loss of optionality for early subnet investors who got locked into a rigid dividend schedule, and the general inefficiency of treating all subnets equally regardless of performance.
The fund manager dynamic Validators are no longer passive infrastructure. They’re active capital allocators making public bets on which subnets will outperform. The protocol provides transparent tracking tools covering basket composition, net asset value, and lifetime returns.
What this means for TAO holders The headline number from the proposal is a projected reduction of up to 33% in mechanical sell pressure on TAO tokens. That’s the direct result of eliminating the automatic sell-for-TAO cycle that the old dividend system enforced.
Under Root Reborn, dividends stay invested in subnet positions, growing the basket’s value over time, rather than being converted and distributed as under the old system. Stakers can redeem their positions and move TAO between validators at any time.

Keurig Dr Pepper čeká ve 2. čtvrtletí růst tržeb i zisku, podpořený cenami a silou značek. Tržby mají dosáhnout 7,2 miliardy USD a zisk na akcii 55 centů. Rizikem zůstávají vyšší náklady na zelenou kávu, cla a marketing.
Key Takeaways KDP is expected to post higher Q2 revenues and earnings, supported by pricing and strength in brands.Refreshment Beverages, coffee innovation and international expansion are expected to drive growth.Higher green coffee costs, tariffs and increased marketing spending remain potential margin headwinds. Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (KDP - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2026 results on Aug. 6, before market open. The company is expected to register bottom and top-line growth when it reports the quarterly results. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $7.2 billion, indicating a 72.3% rise from the year-ago period’s number.
The consensus estimate for KDP’s second-quarter earnings has remained unchanged in the past 30 days at 55 cents per share. The consensus mark for earnings per share suggests a rise of 12.2% on a year-over-year basis.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 5.4%. KDP has registered an earnings surprise of 1.8%, on average, in the trailing four quarters.
Key Factors to Note Ahead of KDP’s Q2 ResultsKeurig Dr Pepper’s second-quarter performance is likely to have been driven by strength in brands and pricing actions. Its expansion initiatives and efforts to innovate its products are acting as tailwinds. Sturdy momentum in the Refreshment Beverages segment has been contributing to its results. Higher net price realization and volume/mix, supported by market share gains across key categories, including carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks and sports hydration, have been driving the segment’s performance.
Keurig Dr Pepper's strategic efforts are centered on advancing its transformation while strengthening its core business. The company is focused on seamlessly integrating the recently acquired JDE Peet's business to unlock operational and commercial synergies. Internationally, KDP is pursuing portfolio and distribution expansion in Canada and Mexico and adopting a capital-light partnership model in Europe to broaden its consumer reach.
Srength in coffee innovations, coupled with portfolio-expansion actions through partnerships like Electrolit, GHOST and Bloom Pop, is likely to aid results. The company’s strategic transformation, innovation pipeline and resilient brand portfolio are expected to have acted as tailwinds. All aforesaid factors are expected to have driven continued market share gains and overall performance in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales at the Refreshment Beverages unit and the International division is pegged at $2.8 billion and $635 million, showing respective increases of 7% and 14.4% year over year.
Although the aforesaid positives are likely to aid the quarterly results, Keurig Dr Pepper has been witnessing inflationary pressures and increased marketing investments. Tariff-related pressures also remain concerning. Elevated input costs, particularly higher green coffee prices, tariffs and packaging-related inflation, are likely to have acted as deterrents.
Valuation Picture & Price PerformanceFrom a valuation perspective, Keurig Dr Pepper stock is trading at a discount relative to historical and industry benchmarks. With a forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio of 12.7X, which is below the five-year high of 23.33X and the Beverages - Soft Drinks industry’s average of 19.69X, the stock offers compelling value for investors seeking exposure to the sector.

Diamondback Energy uvedla, že konflikt s Íránem trvale zvedl minimum cen ropy, protože globální zásoby je nutné znovu doplnit. Tržby vzrostly na 5,56 miliardy USD a upravený zisk na akcii dosáhl 6,48 USD.
For much of the past decade, investors treated oil price spikes as temporary disruptions that eventually faded. That assumption is becoming harder to defend. The Iran war has fundamentally changed the balance between global supply and demand, and the world’s oil market is still struggling to recover.
Before hostilities erupted, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude traded near $65 per barrel while Brent crude hovered around $70. Both briefly surged above $100 after the Strait of Hormuz was effectively shut down, and although prices have eased from those peaks, WTI and Brent remain above $80 today. Diamondback Energy‘s (NASDAQ:FANG | FANG Price Prediction) latest earnings report suggests that elevated prices may no longer be the exception — they could become the baseline.
Diamondback’s Results Tell the Story Diamondback Energy delivered one of the strongest earnings reports in the energy sector, according to its quarterly earnings release. Revenue climbed to $5.56 billion, beating the $4.81 billion Wall Street consensus and rising from $3.68 billion a year earlier. Adjusted earnings reached $6.48 per share, ahead of the $6.01 analysts expected.
The numbers extended well beyond the income statement.
Metric Q2 2026 Revenue $5.56 billion Adjusted EPS $6.48 Free Cash Flow $2.33 billion Production 1.018 million BOE/d Oil Production 525 MBO/d Management also raised full-year production guidance while forecasting 517,000 to 527,000 barrels of oil per day during the third quarter.
Diamondback isn’t benefiting from a temporary windfall alone. It is generating enough cash to expand production while returning capital to shareholders, illustrating how higher commodity prices quickly translate into stronger financial results for efficient producers.
Although exports through the region are recovering in stages, Van’t Hof argued that the market has fundamentally changed.

“These draws will eventually have to reverse, and we believe the restocking required to rebuild global inventories has structurally raised the floor for oil prices compared to pre-conflict prices.”
That is an important distinction. Inventories don’t replenish overnight. Even if geopolitical tensions ease tomorrow, producers must rebuild depleted stockpiles before supply catches demand. That creates persistent buying pressure that supports higher oil prices.
Ironically, Saudi Aramco warned early in the conflict that unless shipping disruptions ended quickly, the consequences would prove lasting. Diamondback’s latest assessment suggests exactly that scenario is unfolding.
The Inflation Problem Isn’t Going Away For producers like Diamondback, Chevron (NYSE:CVX), and ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), stronger crude prices generally expand profits and free cash flow. For consumers, however, gasoline prices above $4 per gallon continue squeezing household budgets and remain one of inflation’s largest contributors.
President Trump criticized Chevron, ExxonMobil, and other producers yesterday over gasoline prices, seemingly absolving himself of any responsibility and ignoring that integrated oil companies have little influence over prices set at the pump. Oil companies simply sell into the market they are given.
That has broader implications for investors. If energy inflation remains elevated, the Federal Reserve may find it harder to declare victory over inflation. Diamondback’s comments point toward sustained upward pressure on prices, increasing the possibility that interest rates rise sooner than markets currently expect.
Key Takeaway In short, Diamondback’s quarterly results were impressive, but its outlook may matter even more. The company’s earnings release and shareholder letter argue that the Iran conflict didn’t simply create a temporary spike in oil prices — it permanently raised the market’s starting point by draining global inventories that now must be rebuilt.
Granted, peace negotiations could eventually restore more supply. Regardless, rebuilding millions of barrels of depleted inventories will take time, supporting crude prices well above pre-war levels. For investors, that favors efficient energy producers like Diamondback. For consumers, it suggests expensive gasoline — and the inflation pressure that comes with it — may be the new normal.

What's Next for BellRing Brands?While BellRing Brands has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Tenable rozšířil Tenable One o ochranu Google Gemini a dalších hlavních AI platforem včetně MCP a AI-native IDE nástrojů. Firma uvedla, že ve více než 7 000 organizacích našla 457 milionů bezpečnostních problémů souvisejících s AI.
Tenable now delivers greater risk visibility and governance across an expanded AI attack surface created by increased adoption of LLMs, MCPs and AI tools August 04, 2026 09:00 ET | Source: Tenable Holdings, Inc.
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Black Hat USA Booth #2639 — Tenable® Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TENB), the exposure management company, today announced enhanced AI security capabilities within the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. Tenable One AI Exposure now delivers expanded platform coverage with support for Google Gemini, extending its coverage across major LLMs: Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise and Microsoft Copilot. The release also extends discovery to all major Model Context Protocol (MCP) deployments and AI-native Integrated Development Environment (IDE) tools. Together, these capabilities give security teams a more complete view of where AI is being used, what risk it creates and where action is needed.
The rapid adoption of AI across the enterprise has created a critical AI exposure gap, a largely invisible risk that emerges across interconnected applications, infrastructure, identities and data. Underscoring this risk, Tenable detected 457 million AI-related security issues across more than 7,000 organizations, averaging 62,000 exposures per organization over a 30-day period. Traditional security tools leave security teams blind to high-impact attack paths, forcing them into a reactive loop rather than preemptively reducing AI risk.
Tenable One continuously discovers AI across endpoints, cloud and LLM applications, including both authorized and shadow AI. It inventories AI assets with the Tenable Exposure Graph, Tenable's data lake that aggregates massive volumes of security data to help organizations map, analyze and prevent cyber risks. Tenable One reduces real-world AI risk by securing the environments where AI runs and hardening AI workloads before they can be exploited. With these new advancements, Tenable One enables organizations to gain better visibility, context and control to manage AI risk while being able to govern AI use, enforce policies and prevent cyber exposures.
New AI security capabilities within Tenable One include:
Google Gemini Coverage: Tenable One now delivers visibility and governance for Google Gemini including monitoring of user interactions and prompt responses, policy enforcement, and detection of malicious activity and inappropriate usage.Enhanced AI Visibility: Tenable One now doubles its coverage of sanctioned and shadow AI, supporting MCPs, AI-native IDEs (such as Cursor, Windsurf and Trae) and AI-enabled browser extensions.Operationalized Remediation: Organizations can remediate faster by creating tickets directly in Jira and ServiceNow or alerting users on policy violations by sending automated email notifications, Slack or Teams messages. “The massive volume of AI exposures confirms the operational reality that authorized and unauthorized AI is deployed faster than security teams can govern it,” said Eric Doerr, Chief Product Officer, Tenable. “There’s no denying that AI attack surfaces are making defenders’ jobs even harder, and legacy or siloed cybersecurity tools simply don’t cut it. With today’s expansion to include Google Gemini, MCP and AI-native IDE deployments, Tenable is the only exposure management platform delivering unified AI visibility and governance across all major LLMs, software, and tools.”
Tenable One brings together two distinct AI capabilities. Tenable AI Exposure helps organizations discover, assess and secure how AI is being used across their environments. Tenable Hexa AI is the platform’s agentic engine, using AI to coordinate agents, automate security tasks and accelerate remediation. Put simply, AI Exposure helps organizations secure their use of AI, while Hexa helps them use AI to improve security operations. Together, they advance Tenable’s preemptive security strategy by helping organizations reduce AI-related risk and act on cyber exposure more efficiently.
Visit the Tenable booth #2639 this week at Black Hat USA, August 4-7, 2026, to see Tenable One in action.

Ether.fi Ventures investuje do Blockspace, firmy zaměřené na profesionalizaci infrastruktury Etherea mimo samotný protokol. Blockspace bude zpeněžovat pouze v ETH a omezí svůj podíl na 15 %.
Ether.fi Ventures just wrote a check for Blockspace, a new commercial entity built to improve and monetize the Ethereum infrastructure that exists outside the core protocol.
Blockspace isn’t trying to reinvent the protocol. It’s targeting the layer of infrastructure that already handles over 90% of Ethereum’s blockspace flow, the relays, builders, searchers, and order flow mechanics that most users never see but depend on for every transaction they send.
What Blockspace actually does Blockspace is positioning itself as a dedicated team focused exclusively on professionalizing this layer, with two notable constraints baked in from day one.
First, it will monetize exclusively in ETH. Not stablecoins, not governance tokens, not equity. ETH.
Advertisement
Second, Blockspace has imposed a self-cap on its own stake at 15%. That’s a deliberate ceiling designed to prevent the kind of centralization creep that keeps Ethereum researchers up at night.
The team is led by Drew Van der Werff, who has been building connections with other influential Ethereum infrastructure teams including Gattaca and Ultrasound Money. The thesis tying all of this together is refreshingly simple: a commercially successful Ethereum ecosystem benefits everyone who participates in it.
Ether.fi’s expanding infrastructure empire Back in April 2026, ether.fi committed $3 billion in ETH to ETHGas, a platform for blockspace forward markets. That deal let validators and blockspace consumers hedge future block inclusion costs, essentially creating a futures market for Ethereum transactions.
The Blockspace investment extends that same logic. If ETHGas was about creating financial instruments for blockspace, Blockspace itself is about making the underlying infrastructure robust enough to support those instruments at scale.
Ether.fi’s core business, liquid restaking, gives it a natural interest in every layer of Ethereum’s value chain. The protocol has grown to multi-billion dollar TVL levels and raised a $23 million Series A back in 2024.
The commercialization of Ethereum’s plumbing Over 90% of Ethereum’s blockspace currently flows through out-of-protocol infrastructure. That means the vast majority of Ethereum’s block production depends on systems that aren’t part of the protocol’s consensus rules. Until now, there hasn’t been a single commercial entity whose entire job is to make that surface area work better.
What this means for investors For ETH holders, the ETH-only monetization model is a quiet but meaningful detail. Every dollar of revenue Blockspace generates creates organic demand for ETH.
The 15% stake cap is worth watching closely. If Blockspace sticks to it as it scales, it could establish a new norm for infrastructure providers in the ecosystem.
The risk, of course, is concentration. When a small number of well-funded entities control the infrastructure that routes 90% of blockspace, the network’s censorship resistance and neutrality guarantees start depending on voluntary commitments like stake caps rather than structural decentralization.

Cipher Digital Inc. (CIFR - Free Report) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.65 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.21. This compares to a loss of $0.12 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -209.52%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post a loss of $0.27 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.28, delivering a surprise of -3.7%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.
Cipher Digital Inc., which belongs to the Zacks Technology Services industry, posted revenues of $24.84 million for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 15.18%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $43.56 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.

Cipher Digital Inc. shares have added about 63.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 11%.
What's Next for Cipher Digital Inc.?While Cipher Digital Inc. has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Cipher Digital Inc. was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well.

Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
FiscalNote Holdings, Inc. (NOTE - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.43 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +55.2%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
FiscalNote Holdings, Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $19.76 million, down 15.1% from the year-ago quarter.

Runway Growth Finance má problém s krytím dividendy: v 1. čtvrtletí 2026 dosáhla NII 0,29 USD na akcii proti vyplacené dividendě 0,33 USD. Analytici čekají očekávaný NII 0,31 USD, stále pod úrovní dividendy.
A double-digit yield can look like a gift to a retirement portfolio, but the market usually prices in what management has not yet revealed. Consider that Flowers Foods (NYSE:FLO | FLO Price Prediction) sailed into 2026 with a payout that looked untouchable, then slashed its quarterly dividend nearly in half from $0.2475 to $0.125 in May 2026. That is the pattern income investors need to watch for: a yield that keeps climbing while the underlying earnings power silently slips beneath the payout.
A dividend is only sustainable when the right coverage metric supports it. For an ordinary operating company, that means EPS and free cash flow. For business development companies (BDCs), it means net investment income (NII). The moment forward coverage falls below the declared distribution, the fat yield often becomes a countdown.
Runway Growth Finance (NASDAQ: RWAY) Runway Growth Finance (NASDAQ:RWAY) trades at $5.70, down 36.1% year to date and 46.2% over the past year. On a $1.32 annualized payout, the yield reads well above 20%, which is exactly the kind of number that signals distress. For a BDC, the right coverage lens is NII.
In Q1 2026, Runway reported NII of $0.29 per share against a $0.33 declared dividend, and the prior quarter was little better at $0.32 NII versus the same $0.33 payout. Analysts see forward NII at $0.31, still short of the distribution. Underneath, NAV per share slid from $13.42 at year-end 2025 to $12.13 in Q1 2026, and the quarter carried $46.69 million in net unrealized investment losses. The core leverage ratio sits near 98%, and CEO David Spreng referenced navigating “volatile macroeconomic” terrain in his Q1 commentary. Runway is in the process of acquiring SWK Holdings.
Management is deploying a $15 million share repurchase authorization while the dividend runs ahead of NII, an unusual capital-allocation choice. If yield on the SWK-integrated portfolio rebounds, the math improves. If not, the distribution has room to move lower.
Capital Southwest (NASDAQ: CSWC) Capital Southwest (NASDAQ:CSWC) is the strongest-looking name on this list, but the coverage math still deserves attention. Shares trade at $23.94, and the BDC pays a $0.1934 monthly regular dividend plus a $0.06 quarterly supplemental, for a combined quarterly rate near $0.64.
Pre-tax NII of $0.59 in the March quarter, with forward consensus around $0.55, does not cover the $0.58 regular quarterly rate on its own, and it leaves nothing to fund the $0.06 supplemental. The base-rate risk is real: management has flagged that the 95.5% floating-rate portfolio would lose about $11.4 million of NII, or $0.19 per share, on a 75 basis-point cut in short rates. Weighted average debt yield has already ticked down, and the company has leaned on ATM equity raises to keep the book growing.
The supplemental is where the risk concentrates. It is explicitly discretionary, and if forward NII settles near $0.55, the $0.06 kicker looks most exposed to being trimmed or paused, even if the regular rate holds.
Flowers Foods (NYSE: FLO) Flowers Foods already cut, and the market is telling investors the story is not over. Shares are $7.22, down 33.6% year to date and 54.4% over the past year. Even after the reset, Alpha Vantage still lists a 14.1% trailing yield on a $0.99 per-share trailing dividend. The forward run rate is only $0.50 annualized, so realized yield will compress from here.
Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Flowers Foods didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
Coverage is the problem. TTM EPS sits at $0.35 against the trailing $0.99 payout, and the stock trades at a forward P/E of 23.
Management’s FY2026 guidance calls for adjusted EPS of $0.80 to $0.90, which barely covers even the reset $0.50 rate once GAAP adjustments and interest expense from the Simple Mills acquisition are included. Total liabilities jumped 44.7% year over year to $2.88 billion, volumes are declining low-single digits, and management is running a comprehensive strategic review of the portfolio.
If Simple Mills stabilizes and debt paydown accelerates, the new payout can hold. If volumes keep sliding, the reset dividend is not the floor.
Townsquare Media (NYSE: TSQ) Townsquare Media (NYSE:TSQ) delivers the cleanest “price-collapse yield inflation” case on this list. At $6.10, the $0.80 annualized dividend yields roughly 14%, driven almost entirely by a price collapse: shares are up 18.2% YTD and down 53.7% over five years.
Coverage is negative on an EPS basis. TTM EPS is -$0.43, and Q1 2026 posted -$0.16 EPS with an $8.59 million intangible impairment. Free cash flow of roughly $15.4 million in FY2025 is thin against annual dividend obligations. The balance sheet is the loudest warning: shareholders’ equity of -$36.25 million, cash of just $2.18 million, and gross leverage at 5.30x. Broadcast advertising, still a large revenue slice, fell 6.6% year over year.
CEO Bill Wilson has told investors the company remains committed to shareholder value through “long-term net revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow growth, net leverage reduction, and future dividend payments”. The digital segment, at 59% of Q1 revenue, is genuinely growing. But holding a 14% payout through negative equity and secular broadcast decline is the textbook “held through stress” pattern that often ends in a reset.
The Bottom Line A cut rarely arrives alone: it usually takes the share price with it, and buyers reaching for the yield end up wearing both losses. Runway’s NII shortfall, Capital Southwest’s supplemental exposure, Flowers Foods’s ongoing pressure after an already announced reset, and Townsquare’s negative-equity balance sheet are four different flavors of the same warning. Coverage, not yield, is the thesis.

LPL Research spustila 17 nových Building Block Model Portfolios a rozšířila nabídku na více než 70 modelů. Platforma mezitím překročila 100 miliard USD v AUM.
SAN DIEGO , Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC today announced that LPL Research has launched a new suite of Building Block Model Portfolios, expanding its model portfolio platform to more than 70 offerings. Designed to provide advisors with greater flexibility in portfolio construction, the new models can be combined to create customized investment solutions tailored to a broad range of client objectives.

Introducing Building Block Model Portfolios
LPL Research has introduced 17 Building Block Model Portfolios designed to provide advisors with greater portfolio construction flexibility. The new models include single-asset mutual fund, ETF and SMA strategies across equities, fixed income and alternatives.
The models can be used independently or combined within Unified Managed Account (UMA) structures, enabling advisors to build tailored portfolios aligned with clients' investment objectives and risk preferences.

WLFI má stále uzamčeno téměř 70 % nabídky, v oběhu je jen asi 32 % z celkových 100 miliard tokenů. Tržní kapitalizace je kolem 1,73 mld. USD, zatímco FDV činí 5,44 mld. USD.
@worldlibertyfi's $WLFI token is trading with a significant portion of its supply still off the market. With a market cap of approximately $1.73B and a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $5.44B, the token's circulating supply sits at around 32%, meaning nearly 70% of all $WLFI tokens remain locked.
What the numbers mean The gap between market cap and FDV is a key figure for investors to watch. The current market cap reflects less than a third of the token's eventual full size, meaning that as more supply enters the market over time, dilution remains a real risk. According to CoinGecko, the total supply of $WLFI is 100 billion tokens, with around 32 billion currently tradable.
The token's vesting structure is managed through a smart contract system known as the "Lockbox," which holds tokens in escrow and releases them according to a defined schedule. A major governance proposal passed earlier this year with 99.9% approval, restructuring the unlock timeline: early presale supporters face a two-year cliff followed by a two-year linear vest, while founders, team members, and partners agreed to burn roughly 10% of their holdings (approximately 4.5 billion tokens) with the remainder vesting over five years. The full unlock schedule is expected to extend into 2031.
Adding to the supply overhang concern, the price of $WLFI is down 6.2% over the past 30 days. That comes even as the broader project continues to develop, with its USD1 stablecoin expanding its integrations and the protocol maintaining a top-50 ranking by market cap across major data providers.
Dilution risk remains the key watchpoint For holders, the core question is how markets will absorb the remaining locked supply as it is gradually released. Structured vesting is designed to reduce sudden price shocks, with $WLFI using linear vesting for team and advisor allocations, meaning tokens are released in equal amounts over time rather than in large cliff events.
Still, the scale of the remaining locked tokens means any sustained sell pressure from unlocking insiders could weigh on price. At current levels, the FDV of $WLFI implies the market would need to absorb more than three times the current circulating value if all 100 billion tokens were ever in free float simultaneously.
