Surgery Partners' Plunge Offers An Opportunity For Upside (Rating Upgrade) stocknewsapi
SGRY
Surgery Partners saw shares drop 14.1% after Q4 2025 results, with revenue beating estimates but profitability disappointing. SGRY expanded surgical facilities and increased revenue per case, but total case volume fell due to asset sales, impacting short-term results. Despite mixed profitability, SGRY trades at attractive EV/EBITDA and operating cash flow multiples versus peers, supporting a soft ‘buy' upgrade.

Saint-Cloud, March 4, 2026 - At yesterday’s meeting chaired by Mr. Éric Trappier, the Board of Directors approved the 2025 statement of accounts. The audit procedures have been completed and the audit opinion is in the process of being issued.

« The military, geopolitical, and budgetary contexts, coupled with tariffs, are creating uncertainty for the business activity. At the same time, the tax pressure erodes the company’s competitiveness.

Although the French defense budget, including its “steps”, is preserved, its implementation requires a revision of the Military Programming Law. Furthermore, uncertainty remains regarding the FCAS (Future Combat Air System).

In this demanding context, the Rafale confirmed its success in 2025 with the delivery of the 300th Rafale and an order for 26 Rafale by the Indian Navy.

The post-closing decision by the Defence Acquisition Council, to enter into direct negotiations for India's acquisition of 114 Rafale, reinforces the need for the Make in India initiative, already emphasized in 2025 with the majority stake acquisition of DRAL and partnerships with companies including Tata Advanced Systems and other Indian industrial players.

In a market marked by uncertainties related to the tariffs in the United States in the first half of 2025, the Falcon activity recorded 31 orders and 37 deliveries. Competitiveness remains a key element of the business jet market.

The backlog stands at EUR 46.6 billion, including 220 Rafale and 73 Falcon.

In 2025, net sales reached EUR 7.4 billion, with 26 Rafale delivered (for a guidance of 25) and 37 Falcon (for 40 guided). Adjusted operating income amounted to EUR 635 million, up 22% compared to 2024. Adjusted net income reached EUR 1,061 million. This net income includes the EUR 96 million tax surcharge in France (excluding this surcharge, the net income would have amounted to EUR 1,157 million).

In 2025, development programs continued with:

work on the Rafale F4 standard, including the acceptance of the F4-2 standard and development of the F4-3,work on Phase 1B of the FCAS (Future Combat Air System),the Falcon 10X, the first aircraft of which is in the final stage of manufacturing,the first flights in 2025 of the ARCHANGE (Falcon 8X strategic intelligence) and ALBATROS (Falcon 2000 maritime surveillance and intervention) mission aircraft; the first ALBATROS delivery is scheduled for 2026,the VORTEX-D space demonstrator, and the launch of design and development work, supported by the French Defense Procurement Agency. Regarding our support activities, the commitment is growing, both for military aircraft, with an increasing number of Rafale deployed around the world, and for civil aircraft, with the opening of the new maintenance center in Melbourne, Florida.

Furthermore, 2025 was marked by:

the continued modernization of industrial infrastructure, particularly to ensure the Rafale production ramp-up,the continued deployment of digital solutions (3DExperience™, SAP and generative AI),strategic partnerships established for sovereign and controlled AI: collaborations with AMIAD, Thale (cortAIx), and the acquisition of a stake in Harmattan AI. In 2025, Dassault Aviation hired 1,579 people, bringing its workforce to 15,024 employees. In addition, Dassault Aviation continued its efforts in the area of decarbonization.

Our objectives for 2026 are to:

meet our Rafale and Falcon delivery commitments by reducing manufacturing cycles and hours,negotiate the 114 Indian Rafale and accelerate the “Make in India” initiative,meet development deadlines and costs of the launched developments while reducing cycles,prepare for the future of the Rafale with its F5 standard, the development of a combat drone, and the development of a future fighter,operational support and aircraft readiness: maintain the level of satisfaction of our military customers and regain a leading position in business aviation support rankings,continue export prospecting for the Rafale,achieve level of Falcon sales,continue the VORTEX development in the space sector,continue the deployment of digital technologies and the integration of AI,continue the skills development of new hires. The 2026 guidance is an increase in net sales compared to 2025, reaching the EUR 8.5 billion range (including the delivery of 40 Falcon and 28 Rafale). »

This increase was mainly due to the execution of military contracts in backlog. Advances and progress payments received on orders net of advances and progress payments paid increased by EUR 2,322 million as of December 31, 2025, due in particular to the advances received for Export Rafale contracts.

Derivative financial instruments had a market value of EUR 52 million as of December 31, 2025, compared with EUR -100 million on December 31, 2024, as a result of the change in the USD/EUR exchange rate between December 31, 2024 (USD 1.039/EUR) and December 31, 2025 (USD 1.175/EUR).

8. DIVIDENDS

The Board of Directors decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting a dividend distribution, in 2026, of EUR 4.78 per share, EUR 371 million in aggregate, representing a payout of 35%. At its meeting on March 3, 2026, the Board of Directors decided to cancel 684,288 shares.

APPENDIX

1. DEFINITION OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

To reflect consolidated actual economic performance, and for monitoring and comparability reasons, Dassault Aviation presents an income statement adjusted with the following elements:

gains and losses resulting from the exercise of hedging instruments, which do not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS standards. This income, presented as financial income in the consolidated financial statements, is reclassified as net sales and thus as operating income in the adjusted income statement,the valuation of foreign exchange derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting, by neutralizing the change in fair value of these instruments (considering that gains or losses on hedging should only impact income as commercial flows occur), with the exception of derivatives allocated to hedge balance sheet positions whose change in fair value is presented as operating income,amortization of assets valued as part of the purchase price allocation (business combinations), known as “PPA”,adjustments made by Thales in its financial reporting. Dassault Aviation also presents the “available cash” indicator, which reflects the amount of total liquidities, net of financial debt. It covers the following balance sheet items:

cash and cash equivalents,other current financial assets,financial debt, excluding lease liabilities. The calculation of this indicator is detailed in the consolidated financial statements (see Note 9).

Only consolidated financial statements are audited by statutory auditors.

Adjusted financial data are subject to the verification procedures applicable to all information provided in the annual report.

Lululemon's Founder Dennis Wilson Is Making His Frustration With the Company's Board Clear. 3 Key Takeaways for Investors. stocknewsapi
LULU
Lululemon Athletica (LULU 0.97%) is a major force in the athleisure category. The clothing company and retailer has a large and growing store footprint, and yet the stock has fallen by around 40% over the past five years and is more than 60% below its high-water mark over that span. That decline has occurred despite ongoing revenue and earnings growth.

The company's former CEO, Dennis Wilson, isn't happy, and he's speaking up. In a recent letter to Lululemon's shareholders, he laid out his concerns.

Here are three key takeaways.

Image source: Getty Images.

1. Dennis Wilson is a disgruntled former employee and a big stockholder Wilson's ire has to be taken in context. Although he founded the retailer, he was ousted as CEO in 2013. It was not a pretty period for the company, and it is likely that Wilson views the current board of directors and leadership as mismanaging "his" company. That's the negative view of this situation, but it has to be considered because it can help justify a potentially adversarial approach from the board.

The flip side is that Wilson is still a large shareholder and has a legitimate concern about the stock's value. His wealth has declined materially, along with every other shareholder's. That he can complain in this way and get media attention for it means that shareholders have someone in their corner. That remains true even if Wilson's motivations go beyond those of a normal shareholder.

2. Wilson's requests aren't unreasonable Wilson's big complaint is that the board doesn't have broad enough board representation that is relevant to the company's operation. Given that he founded the company, Wilson has a deep understanding of the company and the brand he created. If he believes the board needs new blood, including members with brand, creative, and marketing skills, it is probably worth strong consideration.

Today's Change

(

-0.97

%) $

-1.71

Current Price

$

174.46

Simply put, you should think deeply about Wilson's concerns even if the company pushes back.

3. Change takes time Wilson claims that Lululemon isn't being responsive. Lululemon claims it is.

It is an ugly fight at this point, and while dramatic, nothing is likely to change in the near term. Board battles, which is what this amounts to, can drag on for a long time, and, for better or worse, Wilson is not operating from a position of strength. While he is a large shareholder, there is only so much he can do beyond complaining loudly.

In the end, Wilson's letter alone is not a reason to buy or sell Lululemon stock. However, it could help inform your thinking about the company. The stock's price-to-sales, price-to-earnings, and price-to-book value ratios are all below their five-year averages, which suggests it is cheap. However, it might be cheap for a reason.

VEON's Beeline Uzbekistan and Rakuten Symphony Partner for Open RAN, AI Collaboration stocknewsapi
VEON
Tokyo, Tashkent and Barcelona , March 4, 2026 – VEON Ltd. (Nasdaq: VEON), a global digital operator, and Rakuten Group, Inc. today announce that Beeline Uzbekistan, VEON’s digital operator in Uzbekistan, and Rakuten Symphony, a subsidiary of Rakuten Group, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore strategic collaborations that support the development of Uzbekistan’s fast-growing digital economy, including on Open RAN development, AI-powered network intelligence and next-generation digital platforms.

The MoU, signed at the MWC Barcelona 2026, establishes a framework to explore collaboration on areas including network deployment, optimization and development, as well as digital services, leveraging Rakuten’s software stack and platform expertise.

Under this framework, the companies will assess opportunities to deepen collaboration across priority technology areas, including Open RAN architecture, the ways that AI can deliver more sophisticated network operations, next-generation digital platforms, cloud solutions and global IoT and mobile workforce connectivity. In addition, the two companies will advance collaboration in eSIM and international roaming, leveraging Rakuten Mobile’s AI-powered, cloud-native platform and its track record in delivering integrated eSIM services at scale.

Beeline Uzbekistan serves 7.7 million mobile subscribers and more than 9 million monthly active users with digital services. The partnership combines Beeline Uzbekistan’s strong market position and leadership in driving Uzbekistan’s digital growth, with Rakuten Symphony’s experience in cloud-native networks and open, automated architectures.

“We are pleased to continue our collaboration with VEON by expanding our partnership to Beeline Uzbekistan, which champions Uzbekistan’s digital growth with investments into network and digital services, supporting the national digital economy,” said Sharad Sriwastawa, President, Rakuten Symphony. “This partnership demonstrates both organizations’ commitment to advancing the national digital infrastructures with open, AI-ready software and connectivity solutions that will futureproof national telecom networks. We look forward to supporting Beeline Uzbekistan’s next steps in its digital journey.”

"Uzbekistan is on an ambitious path to becoming a digital economy leader in Central Asia, and we at Beeline Uzbekistan are committed to building the infrastructure and platforms that make this possible,” said Andrey Pyatakhin, CEO of Beeline Uzbekistan. “In collaboration with Rakuten Symphony, we will explore how cloud-native network architectures and AI-driven automation can accelerate our services and deliver better digital experiences for our customers. With this, we are building on the investments we have made in our Network Operations Center, our digital services ecosystem, and our new software company BuildX."

“We are excited to build the digital infrastructure and services that power Uzbekistan's economic growth and look forwarding to exploring collaborations with Rakuten across various areas,” said Kaan Terzioglu, VEON Group CEO, who joined the signing ceremony in Barcelona. “Extending our collaboration with Rakuten to Uzbekistan, following our Ukraine and Kazakhstan operations earlier, demonstrates the scalability of VEON’s approach in bringing cutting-edge technology partnerships to high-growth emerging markets that we proudly serve.”

Today’s announcement builds on the Rakuten-VEON partnership initially launched in 2023. Kyivstar Group and Beeline Kazakhstan, two other VEON Group Companies, are already partnering with Rakuten in Ukraine and Kazakhstan to explore collaboration on Open RAN and other digital cooperation opportunities.

Vistry reveals CEO Fitzgerald to step down as results in line stocknewsapi
BVHMF
Vistry Group PLC said its executive chairman Greg Fitzgerald would step down over the next year as the housebuilder reported annual results broadly in line with expectations and signalled a renewed focus on cash generation.

Fitzgerald will retire as chair at the company’s annual meeting in May and will remain in the chief executive role for 12 months or until a successor is appointed, the group said alongside its results for calendar 2025.

The builder reported adjusted profit before tax of £268.8 million, up 2% compared to a year earlier on revenue that slipped 4% to £4.16 billion. This reflected total home completions fell 9% to 15,658 units, partly offset by a 3% rise in average selling prices.

Net debt narrowed to £144.2 million from £180.7 million a year earlier.

The group, which specialises in partnership housing with housing associations and local authorities, said the fall in volumes reflected weaker conditions in the open market and uncertainty around the November Budget, which also delayed some partner-funded housing deals.

“Our full year results were in line with guidance, assisted by the expected strong second half performance," Fitzgerald said.

He added that Vistry delivered “one in seven of the country's affordable homes last year”.

Trading has started positively in 2026. The group said sales are improving after targeted pricing initiatives and incentives aimed at building momentum into the spring selling season.

Vistry expects higher sales and improved cash flow through the second half of the year and is targeting a return to a net cash position of about £100 million by the end of 2026.

Barratt Redrow CEO to retire, with infrastructure boss brought in stocknewsapi
BTDPF BTDPY
Barratt Redrow PLC chief executive David Thomas will retire after 11 years in the role, with former Balfour Beatty divisional boss Dean Banks appointed as his successor.

Banks will join the housebuilder in the final quarter of 2026 and take over as group chief executive once Thomas steps down.

Thomas, who has been at the North East-headquartered company for 17 years, will stay with the business until March 2027 to ensure a smooth transition.

Banks currently runs Ventia, an infrastructure services company operating in Australia and New Zealand. He has been group chief executive there since 2021 and previously held senior roles at Balfour Beatty and De La Rue.

Chair Caroline Silver highlighted Banks's "strong experience as a public company chief executive, with deep knowledge of the construction and infrastructure sectors and a proven track record of value creation".

She also paid tribute to the outgoing chief executive, saying he leaves behind "an industry-leading business with a clear strategy, a strong balance sheet and an exceptional team".

Thomas's time included leading Barratt's £2.5 billion acquisition of Redrow in 2024.

Allergy Therapeutics peanut vaccine shows strong immune response in early trial stocknewsapi
AGYTF
AIM-listed biotech reports biomarker results suggesting its VLP Peanut treatment could work in as few as three injections

Allergy Therapeutics PLC (AIM:AGY, OTC:AGYTF, FRA:HHU), the AIM-listed allergy immunotherapy company, has reported positive biomarker results from its PROTECT Phase I/IIa trial of VLP Peanut, a virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine designed to treat peanut allergy.

The data showed a strong and consistent immune response across all trial participants, with higher doses associated with greater reductions in basophil sensitivity, a measure of how reactive immune cells are to allergens.

At the highest dose tested, basophil sensitivity fell by 376% for whole peanut extract and 489% for Ara h2, the primary peanut allergen, compared to placebo.

The trial also recorded a dose-dependent increase in Ara h2-specific IgG, a class of protective antibody associated with tolerance, reaching statistical significance at all but the lowest dose tested.

A reduction in wheal diameter, the raised skin reaction measured during standard allergy testing, was observed one month after treatment, while placebo patients showed a slight increase.

Mo Shamji, professor in immunology and allergy at Imperial College London, said the results from the IgE-Fab binding assay, which measures how allergen attaches to immune cells, were "remarkable, especially given the short treatment duration of three injections over two to three months."

He added that comparable outcomes from oral immunotherapy, the current standard of care, typically require around 12 months of daily administration.

Alexandra Santos, chair in paediatric allergy at King's College London and chair of the trial's safety review committee, highlighted the relevance of the basophil activation data, noting that this biomarker is "highly representative for food challenge outcome," which will serve as the primary endpoint in upcoming phase II/III trials.

Manuel Llobet, chief executive of Allergy Therapeutics, said the results demonstrated "clinical proof of concept" and distinguished VLP Peanut from both oral immunotherapy and monoclonal antibody treatments currently available or in development.

The company said it intends to progress to a phase IIb trial to establish dose range and efficacy via food challenge.

Peanut allergy affects millions of people globally and can cause severe, potentially fatal reactions.

TEAM
Shares of Atlassian (TEAM +6.18%) continued to bear the brunt of the software sell-off last month as the collaboration-based software company disappointed the market with its fourth-quarter earnings report and fell alongside its software-as-a-service (SaaS) peers.

Investors are worried that new AI tools will disrupt companies like Atlassian by offering easier, customizable solutions for things like kanban boards, a Jira tool that is one of its most popular products.

Atlassian sells to mostly small and medium-sized businesses, which also makes it more vulnerable to new competition.

Atlassian finished the month down 36%, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, continuing a long downward trend.

As the chart below shows, the stock fell steadily throughout the month, only to recover modestly late in February.

TEAM data by YCharts

Atlassian's troubles continue Like most other SaaS stocks, Atlassian fell sharply last month as valuations compressed and fears about AI disruption led to a panic.

Atlassian may be more vulnerable, however, given its focus on small and medium-sized businesses and its lack of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) profits.

The biggest news out on Atlassian last month was its second-quarter earnings report. Even though the company beat estimates, the stock still fell.

Revenue in the quarter rose 23% to $1.59 billion, which beat estimates at $1.54 billion. Adjusted earnings per share increased from $0.96 to $1.22, which beat the consensus at $1.14.

However, Atlassian is still deeply unprofitable on a GAAP basis, with a $47.7 million operating loss in the quarter. Its adjusted profits have been inflated by $452.6 million in share-based compensation, or well over a third of its revenue.

That is a real cost to the company as it dilutes shareholders. Atlassian does repurchase its stock to offset that dilution, but because of the way financial statements work, those buybacks don't count against free cash flow or profits, even though they need to be done to keep dilution under control.

Investors may be losing patience with that cash management strategy, given the pressure on the software sector.

Can Atlassian bounce back? Atlassian called for full-year revenue growth of 22%, and said it would accelerate share buybacks to take advantage of its low stock price, which is still down more than 80% from its pandemic-era peak.

Still, it won't be easy for Atlassian to shake off the fears about the AI threat, especially as the company is on track to report a GAAP operating loss of roughly $300 million this year.

Atlassian may need to rein in its expenses, and that could mean layoffs at the company. Such a cost-cutting move could give the stock a boost and show management is taking the AI threat seriously.

Palantir: Analyzing The Impact Of Middle East Escalation On Defense Software Demand stocknewsapi
PLTR
The operation in Iran has solidified Palantir's status as the "digital bedrock" of the modern Pentagon. The integration of the Maven Smart System and AIP has enabled the compression of the "sensor-to-shooter" chain to mere seconds. Geopolitical instability is not just a short-term catalyst but a long-term driver for contract expansion.

Prediction: 2 Stocks That'll Be Worth More Than Microsoft 10 Years From Now stocknewsapi
AMZN META
Microsoft is currently the world's fourth-largest company by market capitalization, with a market cap of $2.9 trillion. However, I think two companies with smaller market caps look poised to surpass it over the next decade.

While Microsoft has a strong cloud computing unit and is a leader in enterprise software, where enterprise software shakes out in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) is still a big unknown. Let's look at two companies that can grow to become bigger than Microsoft.

1. Amazon With a market cap of $2.3 billion, Amazon (AMZN +0.15%) is the world's fifth-largest company. Like Microsoft, it owns a fast-growing cloud computing unit. However, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is actually the market share leader, and I think the company has an advantage over Microsoft's Azure through its custom AI chips. While Microsoft is looking to develop its own custom chips, it is behind Amazon, which already has built a massive data center for Anthropic using its Trainium chips. That gives it a cost advantage, and Amazon has talked about using this cost advantage to start to really go after developing its own world-class foundational AI model.

Meanwhile, the company's e-commerce business is seeing huge benefits from both AI and robotics, driving efficiencies and creating huge operating leverage. Amazon is also uniquely positioned in the world of agentic commerce, given the breadth of its platform. As such, I think it will become the larger company over time.

2. Meta Platforms With a market cap of only $1.6 trillion, Meta Platforms (META +0.23%) has a way to go before it catches Microsoft. However, the social media giant looks like one of the best companies to own in the AI era. While Microsoft faces increasing competition with AI assistants and AI agents, Meta has shown it can apply AI to its business to make it grow.

Meta apps have increasingly become entertainment destinations, and through the use of AI, the company has improved its recommendation algorithm to keep users on its sites longer. This, in turn, lets it serve more ads. At the same time, it has developed AI creative, automation, and bidding tools to let its ad customers create improved campaigns and to better target users. This is leading to more effective ads and thus higher prices.

This could be seen last quarter, when Meta saw an 18% increase in ad impressions and a 6% increase in price. Its overall revenue growth came in at a robust 24%, and that is only expected to accelerate in Q1 2026. With the company now just starting to serve ads on its WhatsApp and Threads platforms, Meta has a long runway for growth. And with better long-term growth opportunities than Microsoft, Meta should eventually be able to overtake it in market cap over the next decade.

3        Partners revenue is defined as revenue generated through agencies and freelancers that build sites or applications for other users (“Agencies”) as well as revenue generated through B2B partnerships, such as LegalZoom or Vistaprint (“Resellers”). We identify Agencies using multiple criteria, including but not limited to, the number of sites built, participation in the Wix Partner Program and/or the Wix Marketplace or Wix products used (incl. Wix Studio). Partners revenue includes revenue from both the Creative Subscriptions (including Base44) and Business Solutions businesses.

Financial Outlook

2026 is gearing up to be a foundational year as we drive forward multiple ambitious product roadmaps, including Wix Harmony and Base44. We believe these initiatives will cement Wix’s leadership for the next decade and meaningfully expand our role across the broader online ecosystem as the world increasingly shifts towards AI, with several key launches already demonstrating encouraging results.

Category-defining innovations demand high-impact, though disciplined, investments to fully unlock the market opportunity ahead for both Wix and Base44, especially as top-funnel demand continues to strengthen.

As our business meaningfully evolves, we are updating our guidance philosophy to reflect the wider range of outcomes that accompany significant innovation and allow for flexibility to execute while maintaining transparency with shareholders.

For the full year 2026, we expect both bookings and revenue for the consolidated business to grow at mid-teens percentage on a year-over-year basis.

For the first quarter of 2026, we expect revenue for the consolidated business to grow at a mid-teens percentage on a year-over-year basis.

For the full year 2026, we expect FCF margin assuming current capital structure and excluding acquisition costs to be in the low- to mid-20% range. This wider-than-usual range reflects the dynamic, hyper-growth trajectory of Base44 and the inherent variability that accompanies rapid expansion. In a newly-created space where we are playing to win, we are focused on making the necessary investments to position Base44 as the leader. So the more Base44 top-line growth outperforms, the more pressure on near-term FCF margin.

Our core Wix business remains healthy and profitable. In 2026, we expect solid bookings and revenue performance, with flat to expanding FCF margin in our core business.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Wix will host a conference call to discuss the results at 8:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. A live and archived webcast of the conference call will be accessible from the "Investor Relations" section of the Company’s website at https://investors.wix.com/.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Wix uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: bookings, cumulative cohort bookings, bookings on a constant currency basis, revenue on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, free cash flow on a constant currency basis, free cash flow, as adjusted, free cash flow margins, non-GAAP R&D expenses, non-GAAP S&M expenses, non-GAAP G&A expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP cost of revenue expense, non-GAAP financial expense, non-GAAP tax expense (collectively the "Non-GAAP financial measures"). Measures presented on a constant currency or foreign exchange neutral basis have been adjusted to exclude the effect of y/y changes in foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Bookings is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adding the change in deferred revenues and the change in unbilled contractual obligations for a particular period to revenues for the same period. Bookings include cash receipts for premium subscriptions purchased by users as well as cash we collect from business solutions, as well as payments due to us under the terms of contractual agreements for which we may have not yet received payment. Cash receipts for premium subscriptions are deferred and recognized as revenues over the terms of the subscriptions. Cash receipts for payments and the majority of the additional products and services (other than Google Workspace) are recognized as revenues upon receipt. Committed payments are recognized as revenue as we fulfill our obligation under the terms of the contractual agreement. Non-GAAP gross margin represents gross profit calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization, divided by revenue. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) represents operating income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization, acquisition-related expenses and sales tax expense accrual and other G&A expenses (income). Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, amortization, sales tax expense accrual and other G&A expenses (income), amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and acquisition-related expenses and non-operating foreign exchange expenses (income). Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share represents non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares used in computing GAAP loss per share. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow, as adjusted, represents free cash flow further adjusted to exclude the capital expenditures and other expenses associated with the buildout of our new corporate headquarters, and cash acquisition-related expenses. Free cash flow margins represent free cash flow divided by revenue. Non-GAAP cost of revenue represents cost of revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP R&D expenses represent R&D expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP S&M expenses represent S&M expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP G&A expenses represent G&A expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Non-GAAP operating expenses represent operating expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses and amortization. Acquisition-related expenses include transaction costs and retention payments that would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our business. Non-GAAP financial expense represents financial expense calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for unrealized gains of equity investments, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and non-operating foreign exchange expenses. Non-GAAP tax expense represents tax expense calculated in accordance with GAAP as adjusted for provisions for income tax effects related to non-GAAP adjustments.

The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these measures provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation tables provided below. The accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. The Company is unable to provide reconciliations of free cash flow, free cash flow margin, free cash flow margin, excluding acquisition-related costs and the impact of our repurchase program, free cash flow, as adjusted, bookings, cumulative cohort bookings, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, and non-GAAP tax expense to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact those GAAP financial measures are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future financial results.

Wix also uses Creative Subscriptions Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) as a key operating metric. Creative Subscriptions ARR is calculated as Creative Subscriptions Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) multiplied by 12. Creative Subscriptions MRR is calculated as the total of (i) the total monthly revenue of all Creative Subscriptions (including Base44) in effect on the last day of the period, other than domain registrations; (ii) the average revenue per month from domain registrations multiplied by all registered domains in effect on the last day of the period; and (iii) monthly revenue from other partnership agreements including enterprise partners, in effect in the last month of the period. Business Solutions Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) is calculated as Business Solutions Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) multiplied by 12. Business Solutions MRR is calculated as the total monthly value of Business Solutions subscriptions in effect on the last day of the period. Business Solutions subscriptions include, but are not limited to, subscriptions such as Google Workspace, Email Marketing, and recurring paid ads.

CompaniesBERLIN, March 4 (Reuters) - Germany's top industrial union is fighting for more influence at Tesla's (TSLA.O), opens new tab gigafactory outside Berlin, where ​staff are voting for a new works council after ‌a campaign marked by mud-slinging and legal challenges.

Voting began on Monday at Tesla's Gruenheide plant, the U.S. electric car maker's only European production ​site, with results expected later Wednesday.

The current council is ​dominated by non-union members. The IG Metall union is ⁠fielding 116 candidates in a bid to win a ​simple majority - 19 of 37 seats. The union secured 16 in ​the last election two years ago, when the council had 39 seats.

IG Metall has accused management of stoking anti-union sentiment. Plant director Andre ​Thierig has countered that the union is focused solely on ​boosting IG Metall membership.

"We are very satisfied with our election campaign. We ‌are ⁠running with a great team and our issues are clearly striking a chord with our colleagues," IG Metall's lead candidate Laura Arndt said in a statement to Reuters.

Works councils, elected ​by staff, are ​a cornerstone of ⁠German labour relations, representing employees in talks with management.

IG Metall dominates councils across German carmakers - ​including Volkswagen , BMW (BMWG.DE), opens new tab and Mercedes (MBGn.DE), opens new tab - but remains the ​underdog ⁠at Tesla, whose CEO Elon Musk is outspoken in his criticism of unions.

Tensions peaked in February when Tesla accused an IG Metall ⁠trade ​unionist of secretly filming a works ​council meeting and filed a criminal complaint.

IG Metall dismissed the allegation as a "calculated ​lie".

Elektros Inc. Unveils Breakthrough Patent That Could Redefine the Future of EV Charging Worldwide stocknewsapi
ELEK
New Multi‑Port Charging Architecture Signals a Potential Leap Toward Ultra‑Fast EV Refueling - Designed to Accelerate Adoption, Improve Infrastructure Efficiency, and Transform the Global Charging Experience

SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / March 4, 2026 / Elektros Inc. (OTC Pink:ELEK) today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued U.S. Patent No. 12,522,100 B1, titled "Multi-Port Charging Assembly for Electric Vehicles."

This newly issued patent represents a potential breakthrough in electric vehicle charging technology. The patented multi-port charging architecture is engineered to combine multiple independent power inputs and intelligently manage them through a single charging interface. By addressing structural limitations inherent in traditional single-port charging systems, the technology introduces a new infrastructure model that could significantly enhance how electric vehicles are recharged around the world.

The Company believes this multi-port charging approach has the potential to dramatically reduce overall EV charging times while maintaining compatibility with existing vehicle standards, positioning the technology as a scalable solution for the next generation of global EV infrastructure.

"Our primary objective with this patented technology is to fundamentally redefine the electric vehicle charging experience," said Shlomo Bleier, Chief Executive Officer of Elektros Inc. "We are working toward a future where recharging an electric vehicle from empty to full is comparable to refueling a gasoline vehicle - approximately three to four minutes. With our multi-port charging architecture, our goal is to enable full EV battery recharging in roughly seven minutes, a transformative advancement compared to the approximately one hour required by today's fastest supercharging solutions."

The patent was officially issued on January 13, 2026, includes 20 claims, and benefits from a 713-day patent term extension under 35 U.S.C. §154(b). The invention was developed by Shlomo Bleier and is assigned to Elektros Inc.

Elektros Inc. believes the technology may be applicable across a broad range of electric vehicle platforms, including passenger vehicles, commercial fleets, and specialty electric vehicles worldwide.

Is Opendoor Technologies Stock Going to $10? stocknewsapi
OPEN
Opendoor Technologies (OPEN 1.58%) was supposed to be the great digital real estate disruptor, offering a better way to buy and sell homes using artificial intelligence (AI) to simplify the process. However, it hasn't been able to live up to its potential since mortgage interest rates have soared, and the business has been under incredible pressure.

But with a new CEO in place and a brand-new strategy, things might be looking up. A $10 price tag implies almost doubling from today's levels. Could that happen?

Image source: Getty Images.

Opendoor 2.0 CEO Kaz Nejatian is calling the new strategy Opendoor 2.0. It's the same basic model, but new management has a fresh take on making it work.

The company is broadening the acquisition channels, moving more into a direct-to-consumer approach, and expanding the seller's options, providing greater flexibility to move the needle. It's transitioning to a focus on volume, finding great homes that it can renovate for a quick turnaround, rather than dragging the business by searching for bargain homes that might be cheap for a reason.

The fourth-quarter results were still disappointing, since they were still lower year over year. It's going to take time to show progress in revenue, since homebuying is partially a seasonal business.

However, there are metrics that should demonstrate quicker progress. Management is making a big effort to improve profitability, with one of its goals to hit breakeven on adjusted net income on a forward, one-year basis as of the end of the year. It's bringing in more AI applications to its platform to increase efficiency, and it's expecting higher volume to increase scale and land on the bottom line.

Doubling the stock Investors received the fourth-quarter results positively, and the stock has jumped 17% since the report. The new volume algorithms seem to be working, and Opendoor increased acquisitions 46% quarter over quarter. The October 2025 acquisition cohort is 50% sold or under contract, twice the year before's volume, and 50% higher than 2023.

The market is feeling the momentum, and if Opendoor continues on this trajectory, it could make a real turnaround.

From where Opendoor is right now, it's not hard to see a way to double the stock. It's more of a question of whether it can get there. Sales continue to decline, and the stock trades at less than 1 times sales, which implies that the market is still concerned.

If sales reverse and begin to grow again, the stock could easily rise, and it will be able to carry a higher valuation, which means the stock increase can outpace the sales increase.

It's all still in the realm of potential. But if you're willing to take the risk, Opendoor stock might be able to reach $10 and double your money.

Exclusive: Walmart-backed PhonePe targets up to $10.5 billion valuation in India IPO, sources say stocknewsapi

SummaryCompaniesIPO expected to raise $900 million-$1.05 billion, sources sayWalmart to trim stake; Microsoft, Tiger Global to exitPhonePe processed nearly half of UPI payments in Jan, data showMUMBAI, March 4 (Reuters) - Walmart-backed Indian fintech firm PhonePe (PHOP.NS), opens new tab, the country's most used payments ​platform, is aiming to list at a valuation of between $9 billion and $10.5 billion, two people with direct ‌knowledge of the matter said.

That suggests the IPO will raise about $900 million to $1.05 billion. But even at the top end, the deal would mark a cut from the $12 billion valuation at which PhonePe last raised $100 million in private markets in 2023.

Get the latest news from India and how it matters to the world with the Reuters India File newsletter. Sign up here.

Walmart will trim its stake in PhonePe ​by about 12% in the firm's initial public offering, while Tiger Global and Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab plan to exit their stakes, ​according to the firm's IPO filing.

The three firms will sell around 50.7 million shares in the ⁠offering and PhonePe will not issue any new shares.

PhonePe, which competes with Google Pay and Paytm (PAYT.NS), opens new tab in India, filed for ​its IPO in September and aims to complete the process by April, one of the sources said, although the timeline could ​shift depending on capital market conditions, including any impact from the Middle East conflict.

Both sources requested anonymity as the discussions are confidential. PhonePe, Walmart, Tiger Global, and Microsoft did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.

The expected valuation of PhonePe, which means "on the phone" in Hindi, and ​timing of the issue have not been previously reported.

PhonePe's listing would make it India's second-largest fintech IPO, behind Paytm's about $20 ​billion listing in 2021.

Paytm currently trades at a market capitalization of $7.1 billion.

'MONETISATION REMAINS A QUESTION MARK'PhonePe has more than 650 million registered users ‌and processed ⁠nearly 10 billion of the 21.7 billion transactions on India's unified payments interface (UPI) in January, regulatory data showed. But payments in India remain a low-margin business.

India launched UPI in 2016 and barred companies from charging fees for the instant payment service to spur digital payments and reduce cash use in Asia's No.3 economy.

PhonePe's losses widened to 14.44 billion rupees ($158 million) in the ​six months ended September 30, ​from 12.03 billion rupees a ⁠year ago, while revenue rose about 22% to 39.18 billion rupees, the firm's IPO filing showed.

Two portfolio managers, who met the company's management in pre-IPO roadshows, said excitement around the ​country's fintech sector had cooled and that there were lingering questions around PhonePe's ability to ​monetise its user ⁠base - a key reason it may not achieve a valuation closer to its last funding round.

"Monetisation remains a question mark. Active users aren't growing at the same pace so the game is all about upsell and that remains to be seen," one of ⁠the portfolio ​managers said.

Investors also see India's fintech market as overcrowded with little differentiation ​among players, said a third source, a banker to the issue.

These sources also spoke on the condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak ​to media.

AAVE jumps 7% on $42.5 mln governance boost – Can it break $130? cryptonews
AAVE
Journalist

Posted: March 4, 2026

Altcoins might be in for a real test.

On the charts, most high-cap coins are sticking close to key support levels, and the Altcoin Season Index (ASI) hasn’t budged much, showing that the ongoing fear, doubt, and uncertainty haven’t pushed money into altcoins.

Aave [AAVE] is bucking that trend. It gained 7.5% on the 2nd of March, making it one of the top performers, and is now creeping toward the $120–$130 zone, a range it hasn’t managed to break since early February.

Source: TradingView (AAVE/USDT)

Naturally, the question arises: Will it finally push through?

According to AMBCrypto, AAVE’s rally to the $120 resistance last week turned into a bull trap. Momentum lacked follow-through, triggering liquidations of long positions as the market moved against traders’ bets.

Adding to the caution, capital rotation into altcoins remains muted despite ongoing FUD. Instead, smart money exited their positions, with one investor depositing 42.5k AAVE tokens in just the past 10 hours alone.

Consequently, the setup suggests the altcoin may be forming yet another bull trap. With smart money exiting positions and capital rotation into altcoins remaining muted, a breakout past $130 looks difficult to sustain. 

This raises the question: Is AAVE’s 7%+ rally merely short-term momentum, or could the recent approval of a major governance vote create a divergence strong enough to decouple it from the broader market?

AAVE’s rally fueled further Technically, every network needs capital to sustain long-term growth. 

Notably, AAVE is following this trend with its “Will Win” proposal. After passing its first governance vote, $42.5 million will be allocated to fund Aave Labs, with all revenue flowing back to the DAO treasury. 

This comes at a pivotal moment. On-chain momentum is strong, and Santiment recently ranked AAVE as the second-most active project by development.

In this context, the $42.5 million approval positions Aave Labs to further accelerate development.

Source: Santiment

Meanwhile, on-chain accumulation reinforces the trend. One analyst noted that the monthly average of the top 10 Binance outflows increased from 147 to 232 AAVE, indicating rising investor confidence.

Taken together, this accumulation, along with a development-focused roadmap and $42.5 million in funding for Aave Labs.

This makes AAVE’s 7% rally more strategic than purely speculative, lowering the risk of another bull trap below $120 and allowing it to decouple from broader altcoin trends.

AAVE’s breakout past $130 looks likely and could arrive sooner than many expect.

Final Summary AAVE is nearing the $120–$130 zone, supported by on-chain accumulation and smart-money activity, reducing the risk of another bull trap. The “Will Win” proposal accelerates Aave Labs development, positioning the altcoin for a potential breakout past $130.
