Sharif Hatab's move to eXp Realty united two established New Jersey brands under Unify Real Estate Team — built for growth, infrastructure, and expansion.

BELLINGHAM, Wash., May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eXp Realty®, “the most agent-centric™ real estate brokerage on the planet” and the core subsidiary of eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPI), today announced that top-producing New Jersey real estate leader Sharif Hatab has joined eXp Realty and merged his established Team Sharif Sells brand with longtime eXp Realty leader Peter Boutros’ Stunning NJ Homes to form Unify Real Estate Team.

The strategic move combines more than $120 million in 2025 sales volume and 309 transactions, creating a newly unified platform designed for long-term scalability and future expansion throughout New Jersey and beyond.

“Sharif and Peter’s decision reflects exactly where the most forward-thinking leaders in real estate are headed,” said Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty. “The industry is evolving faster than ever, and the leaders who will define the next era aren’t waiting to see what happens — they’re making deliberate, strategic moves today. That’s precisely what Sharif and Peter have done. Their decision to unify and scale under eXp isn’t just smart business — it’s a blueprint for where real estate teams are going.”

For Hatab, the move to eXp Realty followed years of evaluating brokerage models, expansion strategies, and long-term platform opportunities.

“As our team grew, it became increasingly clear that if we wanted to build a true platform with long-term scalability, leadership opportunities, and national expansion potential, we needed to align with a model designed for that future,” said Hatab. “eXp offered the collaboration, scalability, and ecosystem we needed, and merging with Peter created an even bigger opportunity to build something neither of us could create as effectively alone.”

Boutros, a six-time eXp ICON agent and founder of Stunning NJ Homes, said the merger represents a significant shift in how top teams may increasingly approach growth.

“We are no longer simply competing as individual teams,” said Boutros. “We now operate as a true platform with the infrastructure, systems, and resources to compete at a much higher level while still maintaining founder-led local leadership.”

Under the Unify Real Estate Team banner, the merged organization will operate with one CRM, one lead funnel, one playbook, and a significantly expanded support structure designed to improve operational consistency, speed to lead, coaching, and agent development. Leadership roles will focus heavily on sales growth, recruiting, coaching, and long-term wealth-building opportunities for agents seeking larger-scale business models.

As eXp Realty continues attracting top-producing operators focused on platform-building, collaboration, and expansion, the launch of Unify Real Estate Team highlights how ambitious leaders are increasingly leveraging the brokerage’s model to create larger, more scalable organizations.

The acquisition brings NextHome’s franchising expertise into the eXp ecosystem, offering real estate professionals a choice between franchise ownership and cloud-based models

Starting tomorrow, EXPI shares will begin trading under “AGNT”

BELLINGHAM, Wash., May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGNT) (“eXp” and the “Company”), the holding company for eXp Realty®, FrameVR.io, and SUCCESS® Enterprises, today announced it has acquired NextHome, Inc., an award-winning national real estate franchise. This acquisition transforms eXp’s world-class infrastructure into a versatile, multi-model platform capable of supporting diverse business models and brands under one global umbrella. In conjunction with this acquisition, eXp World Holdings, Inc. will officially begin trading under the new ticker symbol “AGNT” on the Nasdaq Global Market effective at the market open on May 8, 2026.

With the addition of a franchise model alongside its cloud-based brokerage, eXp World Holdings is architecting a leading multi-model ecosystem designed to propel the industry’s most ambitious entrepreneurs. NextHome brings a proven, scalable franchise model into the eXp ecosystem with 500+ franchisees across the U.S. and five consecutive years ranked No. 1 for franchise owner satisfaction by Franchise Business Review. NextHome is led by one of the most respected, well-known, and outspoken leadership teams in residential real estate, who will continue to drive NextHome’s growth within the new eXp platform. Together, AGNT now offers every entrepreneurial real estate professional a seat at the table, on their own terms.

"The industry has reached a tipping point, a one-size-fits-all model no longer works for the visionary entrepreneur," said Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty. "AGNT is a declaration of who we build for. Adding the NextHome franchise model gives our agents and franchise owners maximum optionality, backed by a proven leadership team and now with a unified world-class infrastructure and an expanded global network. Teams and agents need more paths forward, and the industry needs companies led by people who don't just talk about being agent-centric, but live it. We're building a platform that supports multiple models, because every agent, and every consumer served, deserves choice."

James Dwiggins, Co-CEO of NextHome and a third-generation real estate entrepreneur, added: "Joining forces with eXp World Holdings is a natural evolution of our 'Humans Over Houses®' mission. By plugging into the most agent-centric™ real estate engine in the world, our franchise owners and agents will now gain access to unmatched depth, inventory, global network, and the kind of industry talent and influence that moves markets. We looked at every real estate company across the U.S., and eXp aligns with us the most — from company culture to philosophy to a leadership team that truly advocates for agents and consumers. This is the right partner to grow the NextHome brand and lead franchise expansion across the world."

The Architecture of Growth: Redefining the Real Estate Landscape

Today, AGNT becomes a multi-model leader where the industry's most dedicated entrepreneurs come to grow, lead, and stay. Whether you are an independent agent driven by eXp Realty’s cloud-powered scale, featuring aggressive commission splits, revenue share, and true equity ownership, or a franchise owner drawn to NextHome’s human-first culture, you are no longer just choosing a brand; you are choosing a global operating system designed for the modern entrepreneur. Two models. Maximum optionality. By bridging industry-leading technology with a massive global referral network and shared professional services, we’ve built a borderless ecosystem that empowers every level of real estate professional to build a legacy.

EXPI is now AGNT: Built by Agents. Built for Agents.

Shares of the Company’s common stock will begin trading tomorrow morning on the Nasdaq Global Market under the new ticker symbol, “AGNT.” The Company’s CUSIP number will remain unchanged, and no action is required by existing shareholders in connection with the ticker change.

The new ticker symbol, AGNT, reflects the Company’s strategic evolution and its continued focus on empowering independent agents and brokers through a cloud-based, technology-driven multi-platform model.

“AGNT is more than a ticker, it’s a declaration of who we are and who we serve,” continued Pareja. “Every decision we make at eXp is in service of our agents and their customers, and now that mission is reflected in our market identity. This is a proud moment for our entire community, and I look forward to building on this momentum as we continue to redefine what it means to be an agent-centric real estate platform.”

BELLINGHAM, Wash., June 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AGNT, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGNT), the holding company for eXp Realty®, NextHome, Inc., FrameVR.io and SUCCESS® Enterprises (formerly known as eXp World Holdings, Inc.) (“AGNT” or the “Company”), today announced the completion of its corporate transformation, including the official renaming of the Company from eXp World Holdings, Inc. to AGNT, Inc. and the Company’s redomestication from Delaware to Texas.

The new name makes official what has defined the Company since its founding: an unwavering commitment to the success of independent real estate agents.

Since adopting the AGNT ticker in May 2026, alongside the addition of NextHome to its platform, the Company has operated as a true multi-model enterprise, uniting distinct brands under a single, agent-centric holding structure. This transformation brings the Company’s legal identity in line with that reality.

"We built this company around a single conviction: that agents deserve better economics, better technology, and a platform built in their image," said Glenn Sanford, Founder, Chairman and CEO of AGNT, Inc. "AGNT™ is the formalization of that belief. We are a multi-model platform, and every brand, every tool and every resource under this roof exists to serve agents at every stage of their career. AGNT is who we have always been and who we are building toward."

Echoing that focus at the brokerage level, Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty, pointed to the platform's momentum.

"eXp Realty didn't become the world's largest independent brokerage by accident," said Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty. "We built the technology, the culture and the agent economics around one goal: agents winning. AGNT gives that mission a permanent home at the holding company level. The platform is stronger than it has ever been, and we are just getting started."

AGNT Completes Redomestication to Texas

AGNT has also completed its redomestication to Texas. The move reflects a governance framework deliberately designed to match the realities of AGNT's agent-driven business model, where Texas law expressly permits directors and officers to consider the interests of constituencies critical to the enterprise — including agents — when exercising their fiduciary duties. The decision to redomesticate was the product of a Special Committee of independent directors, supported by outside counsel and a review process spanning more than a year, and was approved by AGNT’s stockholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 8, 2026.

Whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities, all investors love seeing their portfolios score big returns. But for income investors, generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments is your primary focus.

Cash flow can come from bond interest, interest from other types of investments, and, of course, dividends. A dividend is the distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders; it's often viewed by its dividend yield, a metric that measures a dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends account for significant portions of long-term returns, with dividend contributions exceeding one-third of total returns in many cases.

Pinnacle Financial (PNFP - Free Report) is headquartered in Nashville, and is in the Finance sector. The stock has seen a price change of -7.92% since the start of the year. Currently paying a dividend of $0.50 per share, the company has a dividend yield of 2.28%. In comparison, the Banks - Southeast industry's yield is 2.15%, while the S&P 500's yield is 1.47%.

Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $2.00 is up 108.3% from last year. Over the last 5 years, Pinnacle Financial has increased its dividend 3 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 7.56%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Pinnacle Financial's current payout ratio is 11%, meaning it paid out 11% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.

Earnings growth looks solid for PNFP for this fiscal year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $10.22 per share, representing a year-over-year earnings growth rate of 22.10%.

Investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons, from tax advantages and decreasing overall portfolio risk to considerably improving stock investing profits. But, not every company offers a quarterly payout.

High-growth firms or tech start-ups, for example, rarely provide their shareholders a dividend, while larger, more established companies that have more secure profits are often seen as the best dividend options. Income investors have to be mindful of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. With that in mind, PNFP is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

NEXT HEADLINE »Sparta Commercial Services (OTCMKTS:SRCO) vs. Greenidge Generation (NASDAQ:GREE) Head-To-Head Review

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The board of directors of Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (NYSE: PNFP) approved the following dividends for holders of common and preferred stock: $0.50 per share on the firm's common stock, payable on May 29, 2026, to shareholders of record as of May 1, 2026. $0.46646 per share on the firm's Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, payable on June 22, 2026, to shareholders of record as of June 15, 2026. $0.52481 per share on the fir.

Pinnacle Financial (PNFP - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.39 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.3 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.9 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +3.91%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this regional bank operator would post earnings of $2.19 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.24, delivering a surprise of +2.28%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Pinnacle Financial, which belongs to the Zacks Banks - Southeast industry, posted revenues of $1.22 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.50%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $462.85 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.

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.

Pinnacle Financial shares have added about 2.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 3.2%.

What's Next for Pinnacle Financial?While Pinnacle Financial 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 Pinnacle Financial 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.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.48 on $1.22 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $10.27 on $4.97 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

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. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Banks - Southeast is currently in the top 21% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. 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.

Another stock from the same industry, Amerant Bancorp Inc. (AMTB - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on April 23.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.43 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +79.2%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Amerant Bancorp Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $100.23 million, down 4.9% from the year-ago quarter.

Issued on behalf of Quantum Secure Encryption Corp.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Equity-Insider.com News Commentary — Anthropic just proved that even the company building the most powerful offensive cyber tool ever created can't keep its own front door locked. A CMS misconfiguration exposed Claude Mythos, a frontier AI model that autonomously finds and exploits zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and browser[1]. The Global X Cybersecurity ETF dropped 4.5% in a single session as Wall Street repriced the entire defensive stack overnight[2]. Anthropic responded with Project Glasswing: restricted Mythos Preview access for 40+ organizations to patch critical infrastructure before adversaries catch up. Five companies sit at pivotal points along that defensive rebuild: Quantum Secure Encryption Corp. (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8), SentinelOne (NYSE: S), Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), Rapid7 (NASDAQ: RPD), and Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO).

A Trusted Computing Group survey found 91% of businesses still lack a formal roadmap for quantum-safe encryption migration, even as NIST deprecation timelines and NSA compliance deadlines narrow the window to months[3]. The 2026 Thales Data Threat Report sharpens the picture: only 47% of sensitive cloud data is encrypted today, down from 51% a year ago, while 61% of organizations rank harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks as their top quantum concern[4]. Institutional capital is flowing toward the convergence of cryptographic modernization and AI-native defense, where platforms already in production carry scalable, asymmetric upside.

Quantum Secure Encryption (CSE: QSE) (OTCQB: QSEGF) (FSE: VN8) just launched QPA v2, an enterprise platform that helps large organizations find the weak spots in their encryption and build a clear plan to upgrade before quantum computing turns those weak spots into open doors.

The Vancouver-based company says QPA v2 moves the conversation from 'we know there's a problem' to 'here's how we fix it.' The platform includes a planning wizard for governance, budgets, and migration timelines, AI-powered modules that evaluate how ready an organization's cryptography actually is, and inventory tools that scan software, hardware, and encryption components to flag what needs replacing. An executive dashboard pulls it all together, giving leadership real-time visibility into risk levels and upgrade progress. QSE says the platform is already live and in use with both existing and prospective clients.

"Organizations are now moving from understanding quantum risk to actively planning for it," said Ted Carefoot, CEO of QSE. "QPA v2 is designed to support that transition by providing a structured, repeatable framework that enables enterprises and public-sector organizations to assess their current state, prioritize risk, and plan their migration toward post-quantum cryptographic standards."

That shift into execution has been building since late 2025. QSE recently secured its first municipal government pilot for post-quantum cybersecurity through its membership in MISA (Municipal Information Systems Association), a national network connecting Canadian municipalities with new technology. The participating municipality is using QPA to identify which of its systems rely on encryption that future quantum computers could break, and to start planning upgrades now. QSE noted it is already in conversations with additional municipalities exploring similar assessments.

Since November 2025, QSE has expanded from four to thirteen operational markets worldwide, with eleven value-added distributors now active and two more partnerships expected to close shortly. The company also joined CADSI (Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries), opening pathways into Canadian defence and public-sector procurement.

QPA v2 integrates with QSE's broader product suite, including its quantum-resilient key infrastructure, QAuth identity platform, and encrypted storage solutions. QSE is a Canadian post-quantum security company building tools to help organizations protect sensitive data from the next generation of cyberattacks that quantum computing is expected to enable, targeting commercial, enterprise, and government clients preparing for a fundamental shift in how encryption works.

Other industry developments and happenings in the market include:

SentinelOne (NYSE: S) has expanded its strategic collaboration with Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) through a multi-year agreement to develop AI-powered cybersecurity solutions at global scale. The partnership integrates SentinelOne's autonomous endpoint detection and response platform with Alphabet's Google Cloud infrastructure, expanding availability across three strategic regions: North America, Frankfurt, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

"Customers are under growing pressure to defend increasingly complex environments and protect their highly sensitive data while reducing operational friction," said Melissa Smith, SVP of Global Strategic Partnerships & Initiatives at SentinelOne. "With Google Cloud, we have chosen a highly secure and sophisticated platform for a data sovereignty strategy, and a strategic partner for intelligence sharing."

The collaboration targets enterprises operating in regulated markets, combining SentinelOne's AI-native Singularity Platform with Google Cloud's threat intelligence and generative AI capabilities to replace legacy antivirus and first-generation EDR tooling. SentinelOne currently protects nearly one-fifth of the Fortune 500 and positions the expanded partnership as a path toward autonomous security operations for the AI era.

Elastic (NYSE: ESTC) has achieved FedRAMP High authorization for its Elastic Cloud Hosted platform on AWS GovCloud (US), unlocking access to the most sensitive, unclassified government workloads across law enforcement, emergency response, public health, and national security operations. The FedRAMP High baseline requires more than 400 security controls to protect controlled unclassified information, making it the program's most rigorous certification tier.

"FedRAMP High expands our ability to support agencies operating in highly sensitive environments and underscores Elastic's enduring commitment to help improve our national security posture while driving operational efficiencies," said Chris Townsend, global vice president of public sector at Elastic.

The authorization builds on Elastic's growing federal footprint, including a collaboration with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and ECS to support a unified SIEM-as-a-Service program for Federal Civilian Executive Branch Agencies, and a volume-based discount agreement with the General Services Administration to streamline procurement across federal agencies. Elastic's open, standards-based architecture supports Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, and other cloud-native projects, helping agencies reduce vendor lock-in and meet federal data mandates while enabling GenAI use cases through retrieval augmented generation techniques.

Rapid7 (NASDAQ: RPD) announced the acquisition of Kenzo Security, an agentic AI security platform built to scale autonomous security investigations, further enhancing the Rapid7 Command Platform. The deal advances Rapid7's managed detection and response capabilities from AI-assisted workflows to machine-speed security operations, with Kenzo customers reporting a 94% reduction in investigation time and alert coverage increasing from 12% to 100%.

"Reactive security models have reached their limits," said Corey Thomas, CEO of Rapid7. "Attackers are using AI to move faster, attack surface complexity is accelerating, and security teams are expected to improve outcomes without additional resources. Kenzo Security advances our mission to enable security operations that preempt attackers with predictive precision and machine-scale."

By integrating Kenzo's entity-centric data mesh with the Rapid7 Command Platform, the combined offering will deliver full alert coverage at machine speed, 100% decision transparency, and continuous exposure management across endpoint, identity, cloud, and SaaS environments. Rapid7 does not anticipate a material impact to revenue, ARR, profitability, or free cash flows from the transaction, and the company serves more than 11,500 customers worldwide.

Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) announced the launch of Symantec CBX, a cloud-based extended detection and response platform that unifies Broadcom's Symantec and Carbon Black technologies into a single solution. The platform targets under-resourced security operations teams facing enterprise-grade threats without the staffing, budget, or infrastructure to deploy complex security tools.

"This announcement marks a major milestone as we unite the strengths of Symantec and Carbon Black into a single, robust solution," said Jason Rolleston, Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise Security Group, Broadcom. "CBX empowers organizations of all sizes with the advanced, yet intuitive capabilities to tackle modern threats with confidence and efficiency through industry-first technologies and intelligent automation."

Symantec CBX combines Symantec's prevention, adaptive protection, data security, and incident prediction features with Carbon Black's endpoint detection and response technology, delivering correlated visibility across endpoints, networks, cloud, and identity attack surfaces. With 85% of incident flags now carrying AI-powered prediction recommendations, the platform is designed to accelerate investigations and reduce reliance on senior analyst expertise. Broadcom plans to make CBX available later this year through its Enterprise Security Group's Catalyst Partner Program, with migration pathways for existing customers.

Second Quarter and Full Year 2026 Guidance

Non-GAAP guidance excludes estimates for stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of debt issuance costs, and certain other items such as acquisition-related expenses, impairment of long-lived assets, restructuring expense, induced conversion expense, change in the fair value of derivative assets, non-ordinary course litigation-related expenses and discrete tax items. Rapid7 has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP guidance measure to the most comparable GAAP measures in the financial statement tables included in this press release. The reconciliation does not reflect any items that are unknown at this time, including, but not limited to, non-ordinary course litigation-related expenses, which we are not able to predict without unreasonable effort due to their inherent uncertainty.

Rapid7 anticipates ARR, revenue, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income per share and free cash flow to be in the following ranges:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Metrics

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we provide investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics, which we believe are helpful to our investors. We use these non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We also use certain non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures under our executive bonus plan. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

While our non-GAAP financial measures are an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating our own operating results over different periods of time, you should review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. We also disclose non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin derived from these financial measures.

We define non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share as the respective GAAP balances excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of debt issuance costs and certain other items such as acquisition-related expenses, impairment of long-lived assets, change in the fair value of derivative assets, restructuring expense, induced conversion expense and discrete tax items. Non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share is calculated as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted average shares used to compute net income per share, with the number of weighted average shares decreased, when applicable, to reflect the anti-dilutive impact of the capped call transactions entered into in connection with our convertible senior notes.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating performance due to the following factors:

Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation expense because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact our non-cash expense. We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense allows for more meaningful comparisons between our operating results from period to period.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets. We believe that excluding the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets allows for more meaningful comparisons between operating results from period to period as the intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over several years after the acquisition.

Amortization of debt issuance costs. The expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes and our former revolving credit facility is a non-cash item, and we believe the exclusion of this interest expense provides a more useful comparison of our operational performance in different periods.

Acquisition-related expenses. We exclude acquisition-related expenses, including accretion expense associated with contingent consideration, as costs that are unrelated to the current operations and are neither comparable to the prior period nor predictive of future results.

Discrete tax items. We exclude certain discrete tax items such as income tax expenses or benefits that are not related to ongoing business operations in the current year and adjustments to uncertain tax position reserves as these charges are not indicative of our ongoing operating results, and they are not considered when we are forecasting our future results.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that we define as net income (loss) before (1) interest income, (2) interest expense, (3) other (income) expense, net, (4) provision for income taxes, (5) depreciation expense, (6) amortization of intangible assets, (7) stock-based compensation expense, (8) acquisition-related expenses, and (9) discrete tax benefit. We believe that the use of adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods.

Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that we define as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of internal-use software costs. We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after necessary capital expenditures.

We include all non-GAAP financial measures in the current year or any comparative year that will be included in the non-GAAP reconciliation during the current fiscal year annual Form 10-K. As such, not all non-GAAP financial measures listed above may be included in the current reporting period non-GAAP reconciliation in the GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation section below.

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. Further, stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of the compensation provided to our employees.

Other Metrics

ARR. Annualized Recurring Revenue and Growth. ARR is defined as the annual value of all recurring revenue related to active contracts as of the last day of the period. ARR is measured at a specific point in time and does not incorporate consideration of any anticipated contract terminations or other prospective events, regardless of whether such events may exert a favorable or adverse influence on the metric. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue, as ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to be combined with or replace these items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, which can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates and does not include revenue reported as professional services revenue in our consolidated statement of operations. We use ARR and believe it is useful to investors as a measure of the overall success of our business.

Number of Customers. We define a customer as any entity that has an active Rapid7 recurring revenue contract as of the specified measurement date, excluding only InsightOps and Logentries customers with a contract value less than $2,400 per year.

ARR per Customer. We define ARR per customer as ARR divided by the number of customers at the end of the period.

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the statements regarding our financial guidance for the second quarter and full-year 2026, and the assumptions underlying such guidance. Our use of the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The events described in our forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on our current assumptions, expectations and estimates and involve a number of judgments and risks, many of which are outside of our control. Risks that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic uncertainty, unstable market and economic conditions, fluctuations in our quarterly results, our ability to successfully grow our sales of our cloud-based solutions, including through the shift to a consolidated platform sales approach, failure to meet our publicly announced guidance or other expectations about our business, our ability to grow our revenue, the ability of our products and professional services to correctly detect vulnerabilities, renewal of our customer's subscriptions, competition in the markets in which we operate, market growth, our ability to innovate, our sales cycles, our ability to successfully develop, deploy and realize the expected benefits of our artificial intelligence and automation capabilities, including risks related to performance, reliability, security and customer adoption of such technologies, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies, including Kenzo Security, and achieve the expected synergies and benefits of such acquisitions in a timely manner or at all, exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities, our ability to operate in compliance with applicable laws, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and their impact on our results, risks related to the accuracy, efficacy and perceived reliability of our threat intelligence, detection and response capabilities, including the potential for undetected vulnerabilities, false positives or failures in our systems, as well as other risks and uncertainties that could affect our business and results described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026, particularly in the section entitled "Item 1.A Risk Factors," and in the subsequent reports that we file with the SEC. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we may make. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release

BOSTON, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ: RPD), a global leader in AI-powered managed cybersecurity operations, announced early access to its Cyber Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) program, designed to unify security operations with governance, risk, and compliance workflows. Built on the Rapid7 Command Platform, Cyber GRC uses real time exposure data as the operating foundation for both security and compliance; aligning controls, evidence, and risk decisions to live threats rather than static frameworks to help customers manage their GRC requirements.

Regulatory requirements are expanding across jurisdictions and frameworks, while cyber risk continues to scale in complexity. Most compliance processes remain point-in-time and disconnected from live security operations, reinforcing reactive models that lag behind how risk develops. Rapid7’s Cyber GRC program replaces reactive compliance with a unified model for risk and controls. By combining AI-driven third-party risk management with a live, threat-aware risk register, it integrates GRC into security operations to provide executives with transparent, data-backed visibility.

“Organizations invest heavily in security tools, but many are still left to determine how to validate control effectiveness and demonstrate compliance,” said Jon Schipp, Senior Director of Product Management at Rapid7. “Cyber GRC connects fragmented data across assets, exposures, and controls to the attack surface, giving teams a clear view of risk and enabling consistent, evidence-backed outcomes.”

Rapid7 is building an ecosystem of audit, assurance, and GRC partners on the Command Platform to support continuous assurance:

HITRUST: Provides the industry’s most rigorous, certifiable assurance, enabling organizations to demonstrate proven, defensible security and risk management aligned to recognized standards and requirements.Insight Assurance: A trusted independent assessor, delivering rigorous, technology-enabled assessments across SOC 2, ISO 27001/42001, HITRUST, CMMC and other frameworks It is focused on validating control effectiveness for organizations looking to simplify compliance.360 Advanced: Delivers integrated compliance solutions to a global client base across industries ranging from technology startups to Fortune 500 organizations, with cybersecurity and compliance offerings that include ISO 27001, FedRAMP, HITRUST, SOC, penetration testing, risk assessments, and more. 360 Advanced operates under an alternative practice structure in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, standards, and codes of conduct of the AICPA.
In addition, Rapid7 is extending capabilities that support continuous control monitoring, evidence collection, and audit workflows, including:

HITRUST e1, i1, and r2 Control Coverage: Continuously updated dashboards and queries monitor HITRUST controls, automate evidence collection, and detect control drift to support certification readiness.Audit-Ready User Access Exports: Self-service export provides a consolidated view of users, groups, roles, and access data to support access reviews and compliance audits.Unified Policy Bulk Export: Standardized bulk export consolidates agent and scan policy data into a single output to simplify policy reporting and support compliance workflows.VM Export MCP Server & Skill: Enables customers and agents to retrieve Rapid7 data for compliance, vulnerability management operations, and reporting in a highly efficient way. “Organizations today are in a constant tug of war between regulatory requirements and daily security operations. With Rapid7 Cyber GRC, the Command Platform now provides a unified place where controls, vulnerability insights and audit details live together. The benefit to practitioners is a single place that not only implements controls but also helps prove them with examination readiness and defensible reporting, “ said Christopher Conklin, VP, Chief Information Security Officer, Chemung Canal Trust Company.

“Today’s organizations need a partner that brings together security operations, risk management, and governance into a cohesive strategy. This technology allows us to deliver on that vision,” said Mat Cornish, Managing Director, Longwall Security, Rapid7 EMEA Services Partner of the Year, 2026

The Cyber GRC Program is currently available for early access, with broader availability planned for later in 2026.

, /PRNewswire/ -- 360 Advanced, a leading cybersecurity and compliance firm, today announced its participation in the Rapid7 Cyber Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Early Access Program, designed to help organizations align security operations with compliance and risk management workflows.

Built on the Rapid7 Command Platform, the Cyber GRC program is designed to align security operations, controls, evidence collection, and risk visibility with real-time cybersecurity insights. The initiative enables organizations to move toward more continuous, operationalized compliance models in increasingly complex regulatory environments.

As organizations manage overlapping obligations across frameworks such as SOC 2®, HITRUST®, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, FedRAMP®, GovRAMP™, and CMMC, many face challenges driven by disconnected systems, fragmented evidence collection, and point-in-time compliance activities. Rapid7's Cyber GRC initiative bridges these gaps by providing more continuous, threat-aware visibility into risk and control effectiveness.

"Organizations today are under increasing pressure to align security operations with governance, risk, and compliance in a way that reflects real-time conditions," said Cameron Youngblood, Chief Revenue Officer at 360 Advanced. "By collaborating with Rapid7 on this initiative, we're helping organizations connect security insights with compliance workflows to improve visibility, strengthen operational efficiency, and support ongoing compliance maturity."

As part of the Rapid7 Cyber GRC ecosystem, 360 Advanced will support organizations through integrated advisory, assessment, and assurance services across multiple frameworks and regulatory requirements.

"Businesses are moving away from treating compliance as a once-a-year audit exercise," added Youngblood. "The ability to align real-time security insights with governance and compliance workflows is an important step toward building more resilient programs and more defensible reporting."

360 Advanced delivers cybersecurity and compliance solutions to organizations ranging from emerging technology companies to Fortune 500 enterprises, with services that include:

SOC 1 & SOC 2 Reporting HITRUST Assessments ISO 27001 & ISO 27701 Certifications PCI DSS Assessments FedRAMP & GovRAMP Services CMMC Readiness & Certification Support Penetration Testing & Risk Assessments AI Governance & ISO 42001 Advisory Services The Rapid7 Cyber GRC Early Access Program is currently available to select organizations, with broader availability planned later in 2026.

Rapid7 is rated 'Buy' due to a promising management transition and AI-driven catalysts. The new CEO boasts over three decades of industry experience and has served on the Board for the past 14 months. RPD's outlook should be strengthened under his direction. Corporates seem willing to spend more on cybersecurity in the new threat landscape; Rapid7's acquisition of AI platform Kenzo will allow it to leverage this trend.

Halo Minerals PLC (AIM:HALO), a company looking to extract copper from legacy mining waste in northern Chile, has raised £4 million and listed on London's AIM.

The shares started trading on Monday, dropping 2.8% to 17.5p from the 18p issue price of the initial public offering.

At the IPO price, Halo had a market capitalisation of around £20 million.

Operations are focused on processing tailings, the material left behind after ore has been mined and processed, at the Playa Verde project in the Atacama region, the prolific copper-producing area where BHP's Escondida mine is based, along with state-owned giant Codelco that has partnerships with Antofagasta, Freeport-McMoRan and Rio Tinto.

The Playa Verde project holds a JORC-compliant mineral resource of 53 million tonnes at 0.24% copper, with ore reserves of 32.2 million tonnes at 0.25% copper containing an estimated 79,359 tonnes of fine copper.

Based on a copper price of $5.30 per pound, the reserves carry an estimated net present value of $154 million.

The funds raised will be used to advance the project towards a final investment decision, or to a point at which outside project financing becomes available.

Chief executive Andrew Dennan, previously CEO of Ascent Resources PLC from 2020 to 2025, said admission to AIM "represents a significant milestone for Halo".

He added that the company is "well-positioned to support the global transition to sustainable energy through the extraction of critical minerals, delivering both environmental and economic value".

"Listing on AIM strengthens our ability to grow as a company by enhancing our visibility, broadening our shareholder base and providing a platform from which to pursue our long-term strategy," Dennan told investors.

Wall Street analysts have pointed to continued earnings momentum and improving long-term outlook following Carnival Corp (NYSE:CCL)’s first quarter 2026 results, while noting that fuel costs remain a key source of near-term uncertainty.

Bank of America maintained its ‘Buy’ rating and $45 price objective on the cruise operator, describing the quarter as featuring “several positives,” including a continuation of earnings momentum, a new $2.5 billion share repurchase program, and updated long-term targets under the company’s Propel initiative. The firm noted that first quarter performance included an earnings-per-share and net yield beat, reinforcing recent trends.

At the same time, the bank’s analysts cautioned that “near-term fuel will create earnings volatility,” adding that higher energy prices and geopolitical factors could leave some consumers in a “wait and see mode.” They characterized these pressures as short term and pointed to valuation, stating the shares trade near historical trough levels.

On operations, Bank of America said booking trends have not materially deteriorated, although demand may have been somewhat softer than it otherwise would have been due to macro factors. The company remains about 85% booked for 2026, which the analysts view as providing time for normalization.

The firm also highlighted Carnival’s updated “Propel” targets, which call for more than 50% earnings-per-share growth through 2029 and return on invested capital above 16%. Bank of America estimates this implies a roughly 10% annual EPS growth rate, with capital returns of about $14 billion over the period, equivalent to more than 40% of the company’s current market capitalization.

UBS similarly emphasized the strength of the first quarter results and the implications for full-year guidance.

The analysts noted that Carnival raised its fiscal 2026 yield outlook by 25 basis points to 2.75%, “mostly passing along the Q1 beat,” though it added that the magnitude of the quarterly outperformance was likely ahead of expectations.

The firm also pointed to improved cost performance excluding fuel, with net cruise costs guidance benefiting from first-quarter trends. However, higher fuel prices remain a meaningful offset, with UBS estimating roughly $500 million in additional fuel costs for the year, partially mitigated by about $150 million in stronger operational performance.

Despite these pressures, UBS said Carnival remains on track for approximately $7 billion in EBITDA for fiscal 2026, only modestly below prior expectations, with earnings per share reduced by less than the increase in fuel costs.

Like Bank of America, UBS highlighted the company’s long-term targets under the Propel program. The bank said the goal of 50%+ cumulative EPS growth through 2029 implies double-digit annual growth and aligns with expectations for continued improvement in yield and cost metrics. It also underscored plans to return more than 40% of operating cash flow to shareholders, including dividends of over $800 million annually and significant share repurchases.

On demand trends, UBS described bookings as strong, with 2026 occupancy already at about 85% and pricing at “historically high levels.” Regional trends have been mixed, with stronger recent demand in the Caribbean and Alaska, alongside some shifts in European itineraries, the analysts added.

For the second quarter, UBS noted that guidance reflects the impact of higher fuel prices, with earnings and EBITDA projections coming in below prior expectations that had not yet incorporated the latest increase in energy costs.
