ABNB
Key Takeaways Airbnb's Q4 earnings missed estimates, but revenues rose 12%, and shares gained nearly 4%. ABNB posted 16% GBV growth, with nights booked up 9.8% and ADR rising 6% year over year. Airbnb guided for 14-16% Q1 revenue growth and low-double-digit growth acceleration in 2026. Airbnb (ABNB - Free Report) reported fourth-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings of 56 cents per share, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 14.89%. The company reported adjusted earnings of 73 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.

Revenues of $2.78 billion increased 12% year over year on a reported basis and 11% on a forex-neutral basis, driven by solid growth in nights stayed and a slight increase in Average Daily Rate (ADR). The top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.01%.

Following the results, ABNB shares were up roughly 3.98% at the time of writing this article.

ABNB’s Q4 Revenue DetailsThe fourth quarter of 2025 Gross Booking Value (GBV) was $20.4 billion, up 16% year over year on a reported basis or 13% excluding the impact of forex. The take rate (defined as revenue divided by GBV) of 13.6% decreased year over year compared with 14.1% in the year-ago quarter. For 2025, revenues from guest travel insurance, which is available in 12 of ABNB’s largest countries, increased more than 40% year over year.

Nights and Seats Booked were 121.9 million, up 9.8% year over year. This growth was observed across all regions, with Latin America growing in the high teens, Asia Pacific in the mid-teens, EMEA in the high single digits and North America in the mid-single digits.

ADR (Gross Booking Value per Night and Experience Booked) was $168, up 6% on a year-over-year basis. Excluding forex, ADR grew 3% year over year and increased across all regions due to price appreciation.

Nights booked on the app in the fourth quarter increased 20% year over year and comprised 64% of total nights booked (up from 60% in the year-ago quarter). The company also reported year-over-year growth of first-time bookers, which accelerated to 8% in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by strong results across all age cohorts.

Airbnb’s Q4 Operating DetailsIn the fourth quarter of 2025, total costs and expenses as a percentage of revenues increased 770 basis points (bps) year over year to 90.3% in the reported quarter. Cost of revenues increased 30 bps year over year. Product development declined 50 bps while sales and marketing expenses increased 300 bps.

ABNB repurchased shares worth $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025. As of Dec. 31, 2025, the company has $5.6 billion remaining under repurchase authorization.

ABNB Offers 1Q26 GuidanceFor the first quarter of 2026, Airbnb expects revenues between $2.59 billion and $2.63 billion, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 14-16%. Gross booking value (GBV) is expected to grow low teens year over year.

For the first quarter of 2026, Airbnb expects GBV to grow in the low teens year over year, driven by high single-digit growth in Nights and Seats Booked and a moderate increase in ADR (Average Daily Rate).

For the first quarter of 2026, Airbnb expects adjusted EBITDA to be approximately flat on a year-over-year basis.

For 2026, year-over-year revenue growth is expected to accelerate to at least low double digits, driven by sustained strength in the core business, healthy demand and execution of key growth initiatives.

In pertinent part, defendants announced the trial did not achieve its primary endpoint and there was no treatment difference between fasedienol and placebo for the secondary endpoints. On this news, the price of Vistagen’s common stock declined dramatically from a closing market of $4.36 per share on December 16, 2025 to $0.86 per share on December 17, 2025, a decline of more than 80%.

ROSEN, LEADING INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. Investors to Inquire About Securities Class Action Investigation - PFSI stocknewsapi
PFSI
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 13, 2026) - WHY:  Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues to investigate potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: PFSI) resulting from allegations that PennyMac may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.

SO WHAT: If you purchased PennyMac securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=51887 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On January 29, 2026, PennyMac filed a Current Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K announcing PennyMac's fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results. The report stated that PennyMac's "servicing segment pretax income was $37.3 million, down from $157.4 million in the prior quarter and $87.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2024," as well as "[retax income excluding valuation-related items was $47.8 million, down 70 percent from the prior quarter driven primarily by increased realization of mortgage servicing rights (MSR) cash flows as lower mortgage rates drove higher prepayment activity."

On this news, PennyMac's stock price fell $49.78 per share, or 33.3%, to close at $99.92 per share on January 30, 2026.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

EVI Industries' Q2 Earnings Rise Y/Y on Tech-Driven Operational Gains stocknewsapi
EVI
Shares of EVI Industries, Inc. (EVI - Free Report) have declined 10.4% since the company reported its earnings for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025, underperforming the S&P 500 index, which slipped just 0.1% over the same period. Over the past month, EVI stock has declined 17.1%, again lagging the broader market’s modest 0.4% decline, reflecting a sharply negative investor reaction despite what the company described as record quarterly results.

For the second fiscal quarter, EVI Industries reported earnings per share of 15 cents, which rose from 7 cents in the prior-year period. 

Revenues increased 24% year over year to a record $115.3 million. Gross profit jumped 29% to $35.5 million, translating to a record gross margin of 30.8% compared to 29.7% a year earlier.

Operating income surged 78% year over year to $4.2 million, while net income more than doubled, rising 110% to $2.4 million.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter came in at $7.7 million, up 49% from $5.1 million, representing 6.6% of revenues.

Management CommentaryCEO Henry M. Nahmad emphasized the long-term vision and transformation of EVI into a national leader in the commercial laundry space. He credited strategic investments in people, technology and operational efficiency for strengthening the company’s foundation. 

He also reiterated the company’s commitment to its buy-and-build strategy, highlighting a 10-year track record of 30% compound annual revenue growth and 16% net income growth. Nahmad described EVI’s approach as “disciplined execution and thoughtful capital deployment,” reflecting confidence in the company's scalability and resilience.

Technology and Efficiency InitiativesEVI continued to advance modernization efforts during the quarter, particularly in its service operations. The company reported a 13% improvement in average service response time over the past year, driven by field service technology that facilitated nearly 9,000 service appointments during the quarter. Expanded technician utilization analytics and real-time remote support tools were also cited as contributors to improved service consistency and margins.

Additionally, analytics-driven inventory and procurement tools are being deployed across over 15,000 SKUs, aimed at improving demand planning and reducing order latency. Management sees these systems as critical to enhancing operating efficiency and managing working capital as the business scales further.

Balance Sheet DataAs of Dec. 31, 2025, EVI Industries reported cash of $4.3 million, down from $8.9 million as of June 30, 2025. Total assets stood at $315.6 million, while total liabilities were $171.7 million, including $58 million in long-term debt.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $144 million, reflecting a stable capital base amid continued investment and acquisition activity

Other DevelopmentsEVI reported continued activity on the acquisition front, reinforcing its role as a consolidator in the fragmented commercial laundry distribution industry. Although no new acquisitions were announced during the quarter, the company noted it is actively evaluating additional targets and exploring partnerships aimed at expanding Continental’s product offerings.

Cash flow from operations was positive at $5.1 million for the six-month period ended Dec. 31, 2025, despite a planned $12 million inventory buildup linked to customer sales orders in backlog. The company also paid a $5 million dividend and made the final payment on the Continental acquisition. Liquidity remains solid, with access to low-cost capital and working capital strength supporting future investments and acquisition efforts.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 13, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) defendants had overstated CoreWeave's ability to meet customer demand for its service; (2) defendants materially understated the scope and severity of the risk that CoreWeave's reliance on a single third-party data center supplier presented for CoreWeave's ability to meet customer demand for its services; (3) the foregoing was reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on CoreWeave's revenue; (4) as a result, CoreWeave's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the CoreWeave class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50571 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Crocs: Operational Discipline Delivered Better-Than-Expected Guidance Despite Challenging Macro Conditions stocknewsapi
CROX
Crocs, Inc. reported a strong Q4 2025 result and better-than-expected 2026 guidance driven by the company's strategic initiative. CROX management's strategy to pull back from discounting and reduce wholesale receipts resulted in a significant revenue decline but positioned the company for more sustainable and profitable growth. Despite a promising outlook for HeyDude, I believe divesting the brand could be positive for the company as it enables resource and management focus on CROX.

SEGG Media Unlocks $20M+ in Annual Revenue by Finalizing Terms to Secure Controlling Interest in Veloce Media Group stocknewsapi
LTRYW SEGG
FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Corporation (NASDAQ: SEGG, LTRYW) (the “Company” or “SEGG Media”), the global sports, entertainment, and gaming group, today announced that it has agreed to binding terms to acquire at least a majority interest in Veloce Media Group ("Veloce"), one of the fastest-growing and market leading platforms operating at the intersection of sport, gaming and digital media.

The completion date for consummating the acquisition is set for Tuesday, February 17, 2026, which will result in SEGG Media acquiring a controlling interest of Veloce, enabling consolidation for accounting and reporting purposes and direct control. The transaction values Veloce at approximately $61 million (£45 million) and is projected to contribute in excess of $20 million in additional annual revenue which will begin to be reported in the first quarter of 2026. SEGG Media's management views Veloce as a foundational international platform that aligns with the Company’s strategy of acquiring cash-generative, media-driven sports assets capable of scaling across sponsorship, content, and commerce.

The acquisition of Veloce will be completed through a blend of cash consideration and SEGG Media common shares priced at $10 per share. The Veloce acquisition is one that the Company has been hyper-focused on for months and completing the transaction is a paradigm shift for SEGG Media and its shareholders. The targeted acquisition of Veloce by SEGG Media signals the Company's rapid evolution into a diversified global sports and media group.

Veloce's recent acquisition of Quadrant, co-founded by the current Formula 1 Champion Lando Norris, is a significant and rapidly growing gaming and lifestyle company. With a portfolio of blue-chip commercial partners and direct revenue generation in apparel and product sales the Quadrant business will continue to play a key role in the revenue growth of Veloce and SEGG Media.

Darryl Eales, Veloce Director and investor and formerly CEO of Lloyd’s Development Capital, commented: “I’m truly excited by the potential of the Veloce and SEGG partnership. High-quality, driven, and aligned management teams are crucial for the delivery of strong shareholder value creation. The combined leadership creates a powerful platform for significant and rapid growth, underpinned by both SEGG’s exciting brands and well-founded sports and entertainment strategy and Veloce’s multi-stream revenue platform and strong financial performance. 

“Both the Veloce team and the SEGG Board have remained relentless in executing the transaction - even as SEGG completed the final stages of its turnaround - driven by a combined belief in the significant scale of the opportunity that exists post-completion. With the combined value of Veloce, SEGG, and additional pipeline acquisitions, receiving consideration in $10 SEGG stock represents significant upside for Veloce shareholders.”

Daniel Bailey, CEO of Veloce Media Group, said: “This acquisition represents a defining moment not only for Veloce, but for SEGG Media as a group. From the outset, it was clear that our businesses share a common vision for building a global, digitally led sports media platform with ambition and long-term commercial strength.

“The combination of SEGG Media’s access to public markets and strategic focus with Veloce’s brands, partnerships and proven revenue model creates a powerful foundation for accelerated expansion.”

Veloce’s ecosystem spans championship-winning esports teams, athlete-led content platforms, sustainable motorsport series, and a commercial portfolio supported by global brands including McLaren, Revolut, VISA, LEGO, Microsoft, Hilton, E.ON, and Thrustmaster.

Driving over 500 million views per month, Veloce brings with it rapidly growing and diversified revenue streams across digital content, esports, motorsport and brand partnerships, reporting $17.5 million (£12.8 million) in revenue for its latest reported financial period.

Since the start of 2026, SEGG Media’s strategy has been firmly focused on executing fundamental acquisitions designed to accelerate its growth by establishing a scalable and profitable revenue-generating platform. The integration of Veloce’s business and revenue positions SEGG Media to capitalize on accelerating global demand across sport, media, gaming and digital entertainment, with a clear focus on creating genuine value to the Company driven by consistently improving return on invested capital (ROIC) and sustaining high-quality revenue growth with higher profit margins.

Robert Stubblefield, CFO and Interim CEO and President of SEGG Media, said: “The acquisition of Veloce Media Group is a pivotal acquisition for the Company and a clear validation of the strategic direction we set at the start of 2026. Veloce delivers scale, rapidly growing revenues and high-quality commercial partnerships that materially strengthen our profile.

“This acquisition of Veloce and its subsidiary Quadrant springboards SEGG Media to immediately unlocking significant revenue for the Company, which creates long-term shareholder value especially as we integrate a best-in-class digital sports and media platform into the Company. Simply put, it’s a gamechanger!”

Closing is subject to final legal review, completion of definitive documentation, and customary closing conditions.

Why Volatility ETFs Deserve Attention as a Short-Term Play stocknewsapi
VIXM VIXY VXX
Key Takeaways Volatility is rising as AI fears replace geopolitics as the top market risk. The CBOE Volatility Index jumped 30% in February, signaling growing market anxiety.Volatility ETFs can hedge downside in choppy markets. The year began on a volatile note, with heightened geopolitical uncertainties and tariff tensions accounting for much of the uncertainty in January. Even so, markets proved resilient, with the S&P 500 finishing the month in positive territory, gaining about 1.9%.

However, volatility has picked up significantly in February, marked by a sharper risk-off shift and a broad market sell-off. Investor concerns have also rotated, with uncertainty around the AI trade replacing geopolitical risks as the dominant source of market anxiety.

The S&P 500 has declined about 1.9% this week as of the Feb. 12 close and is down roughly 2.1% so far this month. Meanwhile, the CBOE Volatility Index surged nearly 21% on Thursday, bringing its February gain to roughly 30%, a clear sign that volatility and investor nervousness are intensifying.

AI Concerns Rattle InvestorsLast week’s “software-mageddon” sell-off and growing scrutiny of Big Tech’s AI spending reflected growing fatigue around the AI trade.

The weakness spilled into financial stocks on Tuesday and later spread to trucking, logistics and real estate services, which came under heavy selling pressure on Thursday as investors adopted a “sell first, ask questions later” approach to AI-related risks, as per Yahoo Finance.

Additionally, rising concerns over AI-led disruption have also driven a clear divergence in the travel and leisure sector, with online booking platforms bearing the brunt of the sell-off, while traditional hotel operators gain favor, according to Bloomberg, as quoted on another Yahoo Finance article.

Debt Concerns Refuse to FadeThe U.S. government’s increasing national debt continues to create an income problem for investors. With the national debt currently standing at $38.65 trillion and federal debt held by the public at $30.92 trillion, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects debt held by the public to climb to $56 trillion or 120% of GDP by 2036. Such elevated debt levels create economic headwinds, including sustained inflationary pressure.

The projected rise in large and sustained budget deficits between 2026 and 2036 is expected to push debt levels even higher over the next decade, with the deficit projected to widen from $1.9 trillion in fiscal 2026 to $3.1 trillion by 2036, as per the CBO (Read: ETFs Worth Watching as Debt Pressures Continue to Build).

This backdrop underscores the need for investors to sharpen their focus on short-term portfolio positioning, where increasing exposure to volatility ETFs stands out as a compelling strategy.

How Volatility ETFs Help Investors Play UncertaintyIncreasing exposure to volatility ETFs as a short-term allocation may help hedge downside risks, proving to be a winning move for investors. Taking precautions upfront is better than facing avoidable risks later. These funds have delivered short-term gains during periods of market chaos and may climb further if volatility continues.

Investors with a long-term horizon may be able to look past these near-term uncertainties. However, in the current economic environment, volatility-focused funds and strategies are ideal for investors with a short-term horizon.

With the potential for increased volatility, adding these ETFs may be a smart strategic move (See: all Volatility ETFs here).

ETFs to ExploreBelow, we have highlighted a few funds that investors can consider to gain increased exposure to volatility ETFs.

iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX - Free Report) iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index Total Return. The index offers exposure to a daily rolling long position in the first and second-month VIX futures contracts.

iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN charges an annual fee of 0.89%. VXX has gained 3.76% over the past month and 6.16% on Feb. 12.

ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (VIXY - Free Report) ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index, which measures the movements of a combination of VIX futures and is designed to track changes in the expectation for one month in the future.

ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF is ideal for investors looking to gain from an increase in expected volatility of the S&P 500. The fund charges an annual fee of 0.85%. VIXY has gained 3.64% over the past month and 6.33% on Feb. 12.

ProShares VIX Mid-Term Futures ETF (VIXM - Free Report) ProShares VIX Mid-Term Futures ETF seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500 VIX Mid-Term Futures Index, which measures the movements of a combination of VIX futures and is designed to track changes in the expectation for VIX five months in the future.

ProShares VIX Mid-Term Futures ETF is ideal for investors looking to gain from an increase in expected volatility of the S&P 500. The fund charges an annual fee of 0.85%. VIXM has gained 0.41% over the past month and 1.11% on Feb. 12.

What Long-term Investors Should Focus OnFor long-term investors, increasing exposure to diversified, less concentrated ETFs can offer a more stable path forward. Pairing this with strategies like buy-the-dip, dollar-cost averaging and a disciplined buy-and-hold approach can make it easier to navigate short-term market volatility while staying focused on long-term goals.

KD
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP, a leading national shareholder rights law firm, announces that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (“Kyndryl” or the “Company”) (NYSE: KD) securities between August 7, 2024 and February 9, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Kyndryl investors have until April 13, 2026 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR KYNDRYL HOLDINGS, INC. (KD) INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS

What Happened?

On February 9, 2026, Kyndryl announced the Company’s CFO and General Counsel had both departed “effective immediately.” The Company also announced that it would be unable to timely file its quarterly report and that it “is reviewing its cash management practices related disclosures” as well as “the efficacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and certain other matters following the Company’s receipt of voluntary document requests from the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to such matters.”

The Company further announced it “anticipates reporting material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting” which is expected to include at minimum “the effectiveness and strength of certain functions at the Company, including with respect to controls related to information and communication and tone at the top.”

On this news, Kyndryl’s stock price fell $12.90, or 54.9%, to close at $10.59 per share on February 9, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

What Is The Lawsuit About?

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Kyndryl's financial statements issued during the Class Period were materially misstated; (2) Kyndryl lacked adequate internal controls and at times materially understated issues with its internal controls; (3) as a result, Kyndryl would be unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2025; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Kyndryl securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than April 13, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

Meta, Amazon, and Goolge Lead a $700 Billion Capex Wave: What Stocks Win Beyond NVIDIA? stocknewsapi
GOOG GOOGL
This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.

The AI infrastructure arms race has reached a staggering scale. Hyperscalers are collectively pouring approximately $700 billion into AI CapEx in 2026. Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) | AMZN Price Prediction just announced $200 billion in planned spend, Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOGL) is projected $185, Meta Platforms (Nasdaq: META) up to $135 billion, and Microsoft will reveal an updated capex target closer to summer.

That kind of spending makes it “hard to bet against Nvidia,” as one analyst put it. But here’s the paradox: Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has struggled despite this thesis, up just 0.24% year-to-date while the broader AI infrastructure buildout accelerates. Let’s explore what’s going on and why stocks like Broadcom (Nasdaq: AVGO), Micron (Nasdaq: MU), and Bloom Energy (Nasdaq: BE) have seen stronger recent gains.

The $700 Billion Breakdown

Hyperscaler spending is concentrated among the mega-cap tech giants. Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), and Amazon are deploying massive capital into AI infrastructure and cloud computing, with Microsoft’s Azure and Amazon’s AWS competing for AI workload dominance. Together, these hyperscalers are funding the largest technology infrastructure expansion in history.

Secondary spending comes from ‘neoclouds’ like CoreWeave and Nebius, while other projects like sovereign AI data centers add even more fuel to the rapidly growing spending pie.

The Nvidia Paradox Nvidia should be the obvious winner. The company has seen explosive Data Center growth, with AI revenue exponentially growing across training and inference. Yet the stock trades at $186.94, essentially flat for the year. The market seems to be pricing in execution risk or questioning whether $700 billion in CapEx translates to sustained GPU demand beyond the initial buildout phase.

Personally, I’m betting this is a mistake on Wall Street’s part. NVIDIA is my largest personal position, and I own it in the $500,000 portfolio I manage as part of 24/7 Wall Street’s AI Investor Podcast. Since we first recommended a buy of NVIDIA on 9/12/2024, shares are up 55%. That’s a healthy return in a year and a half for stock that was considered ‘overbought’ at the time by most of the media.

Still, you might be wondering what other stocks benefit from this $700 billion buildout beyond NVIDIA. Here are some stocks to consider.

Who Else Wins Beyond Nvidia? The $700 billion wave creates opportunities across the entire supply chain. These picks-and-shovels plays are seeing explosive growth as AI infrastructure spending accelerates.

Broadcom: Custom Chip Winner Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) is capturing custom chip demand, with strong AI semiconductor revenue growth driven by custom AI accelerators and Ethernet AI switches. The stock is up 41% over the past year. We first recommended it in the $500,000 Portfolio on October 11, 2024 and later re-recommended it. Both recommendations are up more than 80%.

Broadcom shares are down 4% year-to-date despite its primary customer Google announcing $185 billion in capex, a number that was more than 50% above analyst expectations.

Lumentum: Optical Component Surge Optical components are seeing explosive growth. Lumentum (NASDAQ:LITE) has seen strong data center and long-haul momentum, with optical circuit switches and co-packaged optics as next growth engines. The stock has surged 637% over the past year.

We first recommended it in the AI Portfolio on 11/8/2024 and shares are up 590% since. We’ve pounded the table since, such as when we brought on an optics expert on our March 28th episode last year titled ‘These Optical Stocks Could Be Set to Ride an Optical Supercycle.‘

Micron Technology: Memory Demand Memory is another winner. Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) has seen AI memory demand driving record results as the only US-based memory manufacturer. The stock is up 353% over the past year. Once again, we recommended Micron before its most significant gains. Our January 17th recommendation last year is now up 292%.

Bloom Energy: Power Infrastructure Power infrastructure plays are emerging. Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) has seen strong momentum addressing AI data center power demands, with product backlog growing significantly. The stock has jumped 492% over the past year. Bloom Energy isn’t a stock we’ve recommended in our $500,000 AI Portfolio, but it could make the cut when we record our next episode.

The Next Wave of Buys If you’re looking for other stocks that could benefit from the $700 billion buildout, make sure to subscribe to the AI Investor Podcast. On our next episode, we’re issuing a series of new buy recommendations. It’s absolutely free to subscribe and get each new idea. So far, our average recommendation is up 87%!

Spark Delivers Shallow Magnet Rare Earths Up To 33% MREO and Gallium from Surface in All Five Maiden Drill Holes stocknewsapi
SPARF
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 13, 2026) - Spark Energy Minerals Inc. (CSE: SPRK) (OTC Pink: SPARF) (FSE: 8PC) ("Spark" or the "Company") is pleased to report the final assay results from its maiden Reverse Circulation ("RC") drill program at the Arapaima Project in Brazil's Lithium Valley.

All five maiden drill holes intersected broad rare earth ("REE") and gallium ("Ga") mineralization from surface to the bottom of the drilled interval. These results represent the complete assay data from all five first-pass holes — not selected samples — and the consistent mineralization across 100% of drilling provides early evidence of a laterally continuous critical minerals system. Further drilling will be required to determine the full depth extent of mineralization.

Rare Earth (TREO) Highlights - Magnet Rare Earth Oxides (MREO) up to 33%

78 m grading 2,430 ppm TREO (21% MREO)Including 10 m at 4,522 ppm TREO (25% MREO)Including 2 m at 6,682 ppm TREO (33% MREO)34 m grading 2,690 ppm TREO (22% MREO)Including 4 m at 4,373 ppm TREO (24% MREO)Including 6 m at 4,355 ppm TREO (21% MREO)28 m grading 2,031 ppm TREO (21% MREO)16 m grading 1,851 ppm TREO (22% MREO)16 m grading 1,353 ppm TREO (22% MREO)These intervals reflect broad and consistent rare earth mineralization encountered in every hole of the maiden drill program. The repetition of similar thicknesses and grades across all five first-pass holes supports the interpretation of a coherent and laterally continuous mineralized system, rather than isolated high-grade zones.

Importantly, magnet rare earth oxides ("MREO") — including neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium — comprise up to 33% of TREO across the maiden drill program. These magnet elements represent the most strategically significant segment of the rare earth spectrum, forming the core components of high-performance permanent magnets used in electric vehicles, wind turbines, aerospace systems, robotics, and defense technologies. As governments and manufacturers seek to diversify supply chains amid tightening export controls and supply concentration, projects demonstrating meaningful magnet rare earth content have attracted increased strategic interest.

Gallium Intersected from Surface in All Five Maiden Holes

Gallium is a critical input in advanced semiconductors, AI processing architecture, high-frequency radar systems, and LED technologies. With global supply highly concentrated and subject to export restrictions, new gallium discoveries outside traditional supply channels have attracted increased strategic interest.

Drill Hole Spacing

The five maiden drill holes were spaced at meaningful step-out distances, with an average separation of approximately 380 metres. The closest spacing between holes was 301 metres (between ARA-RC-002 and ARA-RC-004), and the widest spacing was 423 metres (between ARA-RC-002 and ARA-RC-003).

The consistent intersection of magnet rare earth and gallium mineralization across holes separated by several hundred metres strengthens the interpretation of a laterally continuous mineralized system across a meaningful footprint.

Maiden Drilling Confirms Continuous Critical Minerals System

The five-hole RC program represents the first drilling campaign ever conducted on Spark's flagship Arapaima Project. Such uniformity in a first-pass program supports the interpretation of lateral continuity across the tested area — a notable outcome in early-stage drilling. The results support the interpretation that Arapaima hosts a coherent and vertically developed supergene mineralized system formed through deep tropical weathering of granitic host rocks.

"Intersecting magnet rare earths and gallium in all five of the first drill holes ever completed on the property provides compelling early evidence of a coherent and systematic mineralized footprint," said Dr. Fernando Tallarico, CEO of Spark Energy Minerals. "The consistent vertical zoning and strong magnet rare earth content reinforce the strategic significance of the Arapaima Project within Brazil's Lithium Valley. We look forward to advancing the next phase of drilling to better define the footprint and depth extent of mineralization."

While additional drilling will be required to determine the full extent of the system, the maiden results demonstrate repeatable mineralization across all five tested locations, strengthening confidence in the underlying geological model.

Drill Hole Information

The maiden RC drill program comprised five vertical reverse circulation drill holes (dip 90°). Drill hole collar locations, depths, azimuths, and sample interval information are summarized below:

The cross-sections below provide a visual representation of the geological profile encountered during drilling. In every hole, drilling began in gallium-rich material at surface and transitioned into a thick rare earth-bearing zone at depth. The repetition of this pattern across all five drill holes provides visual evidence supporting the interpretation of a continuous and vertically developed mineralized system.

Brazil's Lithium Valley - A Strategic Jurisdiction

The Arapaima Project is located in Brazil's Lithium Valley, a region that has rapidly gained international recognition for lithium, rare earth, and critical mineral discoveries.

Brazil has rapidly emerged as a globally significant jurisdiction for lithium, rare earth, and critical mineral exploration. The country offers established mining legislation, infrastructure, skilled labour, and increasing strategic alignment with Western supply chain diversification efforts. As global demand for magnet rare earths and gallium intensifies, Brazil's Lithium Valley continues to attract international attention as a prospective and active critical minerals district.

Qualified Person Statement (NI 43-101)

The planning and execution of the QA/QC program for the borehole samples from the Arapaima drilling program included placing a blank at the beginning of each batch (each batch corresponds to one borehole), before analysis of the first sample.

Two standard samples were inserted every 15 samples, and a duplicate was taken every 20 samples. The specifications for the standard samples are attached. The samples were collected at 2m intervals, and using a Jones splitter, the samples were reduced to an aliquot of approximately 2kg for laboratory analysis and another of approximately 1kg for project archiving.

Analytical Procedures & Laboratory

The samples were sent to the SGS Geosol Ltda laboratory, located on the MG-10 highway at km 24.5 in the Angicos neighbourhood, Vespasiano/MG. The laboratory is independent and has no relationship with the project or the company. The SGS Geosol laboratory is ISO 14001-2015 certified (certified on 11/09/2023) and ISO 9001-2015 certified (certified on 10/07/2024). Samples were prepared by crushing 75% 3 mm/pulverizing 250 g, 95% <150# - Jones (code PRP70J_A2-PA). Analyses were performed using ICPMS/OES by fusion with sodium peroxide for 56 elements, including lithium and the rare earth elements (code ICM90A).

FRT
Key Takeaways FRT's Q4 core FFO of $1.84 missed estimates but rose from $1.76 a year ago.Federal Realty posted record 2.5M sq. ft. of 2025 leasing and double-digit rent spreads.FRT guides 2026 core FFO to $7.42-$7.52, implying up to 6.5% growth. Federal Realty Investment Trust’s (FRT - Free Report) fourth-quarter 2025 core funds from operations per share of $1.84 missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.86. It compares favorably with the prior-year quarter’s FFO of $1.76.

Quarterly revenues of $336.1 million topped the consensus mark of $329.0 million and improved 1.9% year over year.

Results reflect a rise in comparable property operating income (POI), healthy leasing activity and growth in comparable portfolio occupancy.

In 2025, FRT recorded a historic high in total leasing activity, executing 2.5 million square feet of retail leases. The company also delivered its strongest comparable rent spreads in more than 10 years, with a 15% increase on a cash basis and a 27% increase on a straight-line basis.

For full-year 2025, core FFO came in at $7.06 per share, up 4.3% from $6.77 in 2024. Revenues increased 6.4% year over year to $1.28 billion.

Behind FRT’s Q4 HeadlinesFederal Realty generated 3.1% comparable POI growth, excluding lease termination fees and prior-period rents collected.

In terms of leasing, during the reported quarter, Federal Realty signed 109 leases for 612,978 square feet of retail space. On a comparable space basis, the company signed 105 leases for 600,684 square feet of space at an average rent of $39.09 per square foot. This represents a 12% increase on a cash basis and a 24% increase on a straight-line basis.

On the operational front, the comparable portfolio occupancy rate was up 50 basis points (bps) year over year to 94.5% as of Dec. 31, 2025. The comparable portfolio was 96.6% leased as of the same date, reflecting an increase of 40 bps year over year.

Sustained robust leasing activity for small shops resulted in a quarter-ending lease rate of 93.8%, marking an increase of 50 bps sequentially. The small-shop leased rate was 93.8%, up 20 bps year over year, while the anchor leased rate was 97.3%, down 20 bps year over year. Federal Realty’s residential properties were 94.8% leased as of the same date.

On the balance sheet front, Federal Realty ended the quarter with roughly $1.3 billion of total liquidity, including cash and availability under its revolving credit facility, supporting its development and acquisition pipeline.

Q4 Portfolio Activity of FRTDuring the fourth quarter, Federal Realty completed the acquisition of two properties for a combined $340 million, expanding into a new market with the purchase of Village Pointe in Omaha, NE, while strengthening its existing Maryland presence through the acquisition of Annapolis Town Center in Annapolis, MD.

The company also executed $169 million of dispositions related to peripheral residential and mature retail assets during the quarter, with an additional $159 million of sales announced after quarter-end.

FRT unveiled a redevelopment initiative at Willow Grove in Willow Grove, PA, with an estimated investment of $110-$120 million and an expected return on investment (ROI) of 7%.

FRT’s Dividend PayoutConcurrent with the fourth-quarter earnings release, Federal Realty maintained its regular quarterly cash dividend of $1.13 per share, indicating an annualized rate of $4.52 per share, reinforcing its position as a consistent dividend grower. The dividend will be paid out on April 15 to its shareholders of record as of April 1, 2026.

FRT’s 2026 GuidanceFor full-year 2026, Federal Realty expects its core FFO per share in the range of $7.42-$7.52, implying 5.1-6.5% growth from the 2025 levels. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.42 lies within the guided range.

The retail REIT’s full-year assumptions include expectations for comparable properties growth of 3.0-3.5% and incremental redevelopment/expansion POI of $13-$15 million.

The metric grew 4.8% from the year-ago quarter. Kimco clocked in revenues of $542.5 million, which outpaced the consensus mark of $538.3 million. The figure improved 3.3% year over year.

Enterprise Products' pipeline network spans more than 50,000 miles, transporting oil, natural gas and other commodities. The partnership also has more than 300 million barrels of liquid storage capacity, generating stable cash flows. Importantly, EPD’s business model is inflation-protected because almost 90% of its long-term contracts include a provision for increasing fees when the business environment becomes inflationary. This is how the midstream energy player is able to safeguard its cash flow generation in all business scenarios.

EPD is also expected to generate incremental cash flow from its $4.8 billion in key capital projects, which are either in service or set to come online.

Strong Focus on Returning Capital to Unit Holders

Due to the resilience of its business model, the partnership has been able to return capital to unitholders on an ongoing basis. Since its IPO, Enterprise Products has returned $62 billion to unitholders through both repurchases and distributions. EPD has increased distributions for 27 years consecutively. Thus, the partnership has become successful in keeping cash flow steady at all business cycles.

Should Investors Bet on the Stock Now?

Following the positive developments, EPD has risen 11% over the past six months, outperforming the industry’s 9%. Over the same time frame, Enbridge and Kinder Morgan have gained 7.6% and 18%, respectively.

Investors should note that despite EPD's strong focus on returning capital, the partnership’s current distribution yield of 6.21% is lower than the industry’s 6.38%. Also, EPD has a significant exposure to debt capital compared to the composite stocks belonging to the energy sector.

Thus, despite being undervalued and with all the positive developments in place, it is wise not to bet on the stock right away. But those who have already invested can retain the stock, which currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Should Coeur Mining Stock Be in Your Portfolio Pre-Q4 Earnings? stocknewsapi
CDE
Key Takeaways CDE is set to report Q4 2025 results Feb. 18, with EPS seen at 42 cents, up 282% year over year. Coeur Mining expects strength from Las Chispas and Rochester ramp-ups and higher gold and silver prices. CDE benefits from smoother sequencing, higher grades and lower costs, supporting margin and FCF growth. Coeur Mining, Inc. (CDE - Free Report) is slated to come up with fourth-quarter 2025 results after market close on Feb. 18. The company’s results are expected to reflect continued operational momentum from the ramp-up and integration of the Las Chispas and Rochester mines, disciplined cost control and higher realized gold and silver prices, boosting revenue. 

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings has been going up in the past 30 days. The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at 42 cents per share, suggesting a 282% year-over-year rise.

CDE beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in two of the last four quarters and missed on the other occasions. In this timeframe, it delivered an earnings surprise of roughly 107%, on average.

Q4 Earnings Whispers for CDEOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for CDE this season. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy), or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Coeur Mining has an Earnings ESP of -14.29% and a Zacks Rank #1. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. 

Factors Shaping CDE’s Q4 ResultsCDE’s performance is likely to have been shaped by a continuation of the strong operational execution seen in the third quarter of 2025, where balanced production across its diversified North American portfolio and elevated precious metal prices materially boosted revenues and cash flow, underpinning sequential momentum into the fourth quarter.  

In production terms, the company benefited from record and expanded output across key assets such as Las Chispas, Palmarejo, Rochester, Kensington and Wharf, translating into robust volumes of both gold and silver. 

The trend is expected to have continued in the fourth quarter, which, along with the solid uptrend in gold and silver prices through the quarter, is expected to be reflected in the company’s top-line results. 

Coeur Mining is expected to have benefited from several micro-level operational improvements that support margins. Smoother mine sequencing, higher grades in select stopes, better mill throughput and incremental recovery gains from process optimization should have lifted payable ounces, while reduced downtime, tighter contractor spending and lower strip ratios at Rochester are likely to have helped ease unit costs. In addition, improved logistics, quicker inventory turnover and disciplined sustaining capex are likely to have enhanced cash flow conversion.  

Coeur Mining’s performance in the third quarter was underpinned by balanced contributions across its diversified North American portfolio, improved recoveries and throughput, and subsiding inflationary cost pressures on consumables, reporting adjusted costs applicable to sales of $1,215 per ounce for gold and $14.95 per ounce for silver, which provided healthy spreads relative to realized prices and supported robust free cash flow generation. 

Building on this sequential momentum into the fourth quarter of 2025, the combination of elevated realized prices, strong disciplined cost execution and sustaining capital management, and positive operational drivers should have supported continued margin expansion and free cash flow growth. 

CDE Stock’s Price Performance and ValuationCDE’s shares have shot up 216.8% over the past year, outperforming the Zacks Mining – Non Ferrous industry’s 76.6% increase and the S&P 500’s rise of 14%. Among its peers, Lundin Mining Corporation (LUNMF - Free Report) , Southern Copper Corporation (SCCO - Free Report)  and Freeport-McMoRan, Inc. (FCX - Free Report) have rallied 196.5%, 103.4% and 57.2%, respectively, over the same period.

Price Performance of CDE vs. Industry, S&P 500, LUNMF, SCCO and FCXImage Source: Zacks Investment Research

From a valuation standpoint, CDE is currently trading at a forward 12-month sales multiple of 5.00. This represents a roughly 6% discount when stacked up with the industry average of 5.03X. CDE is trading at a premium to Freeport and at a discount to Southern Copper and Lundin Mining. LUNMF and SCCO have a Value Score of D, while FCX has a Value Score of C.

Investment Thesis for CDE StockCoeur Mining is well-positioned to deliver stronger earnings momentum in fourth-quarter 2025, from consistent production across its core North American mines, higher realized gold and silver prices and improving operational efficiency. Ramp-ups, better grades and throughput gains are supporting lower unit costs, margin expansion and stronger free cash flow, enhancing balance sheet flexibility. However, risks remain from metal price volatility, potential cost inflation and execution or ramp-up delays, which could pressure margins, though overall fundamentals remain constructive heading into year-end. 

Final Thoughts: Buy CDE SharesCoeur Mining presents a compelling investment case supported by steady operational execution, rising production from key assets and meaningful exposure to elevated gold and silver prices. The successful ramp-up of Rochester and consistent contributions from Las Chispas and Palmarejo are improving scale efficiencies, lowering unit costs and expanding margins. With major capital projects largely complete, stronger free cash flow generation and balance sheet improvement enhance financial flexibility and reduce risk. Buying CDE stock will be prudent for investors before its forthcoming earnings release.

Good morning, and welcome to the Sensient Technologies Corporation 2025 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note this event is being recorded.

I would now like to turn the conference over to Mr. Tobin Tornehl. Please go ahead.

Tobin Tornehl
VP & CFO

Good morning and good afternoon. Welcome to Sensient's Earnings Call for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year of 2025. I'm Tobin Tornehl, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Sensient Technologies Corporation. I'm joined today by Paul Manning, Sensient's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Earlier today, we released our 2025 fourth quarter and full year results. A copy of the earnings release and the slides we'll be using during today's call are available on the Investor Relations section of our website at sensient.com. During our call today, we will reference certain non-GAAP financial measures, which remove the impact of currency movements, cost of the company's portfolio optimization plan and other items as noted in the company's filings. We believe the removal of these items provides investors with additional information to evaluate the company's performance and improves the comparability of results between reporting periods. This also reflects how management reviews and evaluates the company's operations and performance.

Non-GAAP financial results should not be considered in isolation from or a substitute for financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures

Meta Platforms is reiterated as a strong buy, driven by robust user metrics, accelerating ad impressions, and undervalued forward P/E. Q4 revenues grew 23.78% YoY, beating expectations by $1.42 billion, while FCF reached $14 billion despite a 49% YoY CapEx increase. Reality Labs remains a significant drag, with Q4 operating losses widening to $6 billion, but AI glasses show early promise.

Apple Stock Looked Like It Was Rolling. Now It's on the Back Foot Again stocknewsapi
AAPL
Key Takeaways Apple stock erased its year-to-date gains this week after the Trump administration upped its pressure on the iPhone maker and reports suggested long-awaited AI features were being delayed again.Apple shares gained momentum in January after the company announced an AI partnership with Alphabet and reported record holiday-quarter revenue.

Investopedia Answers

Apple (AAPL) stock is in the red again. 

The tech giant's shares slumped 5% yesterday after the Federal Trade Commission said it had sent a warning letter to the company over its Apple News service, adding to pressure felt after reports Wednesday that the company was once again delaying the release of some AI-powered Siri features. That added to persistent concerns the iPhone maker’s AI capabilities lag its peers. 

The shares slipped again early Friday, recently falling nearly 1%. Read Investopedia's full coverage of today's trading here.

Why This Is Important Tech stocks have been the driving force behind a stock market rally that began with the release of ChatGPT in late 2022. Because of tech's weight in stock indexes, recent headwinds for the sector, including concerns about AI spending and stretched valuations, have been a drag on the broader market.

Apple and its Magnificent Seven peers are having a rough 2026, with the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS) in the red and underperforming the S&P 500 so far this year.

Shares of hyperscalers Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN) and Meta (META) have been weighed down by concerns that they are overspending on AI infrastructure. Their massive data center spending has historically been a boon to chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA), but even that stock is treading water amid anxiety about tech sector valuations. 

Before this week’s setbacks, Apple stock appeared to have turned a corner. Apple announced in mid-January that it had selected Alphabet’s (GOOG) Gemini to power its future AI features, including the updated Siri features that are reportedly delayed. Weeks later, Apple reported record results for the all-important holiday quarter, when iPhone and services revenue easily beat estimates. 

Apple shares rose nearly 8% in the week following that earnings report, lifting the stock into the green for the year. Thursday’s slump erased most of those post-earnings gains.

Rivian Predicts Big Jump in Sales as R2 SUV Set to Launch Soon. Its Stock Surges More Than 20%. stocknewsapi
RIVN
Key Takeaways Rivian shares jumped more than 20% Friday morning after the electric vehicle maker reported better-than-expected quarterly results and issued a rosy outlook for sales growth.Plans to launch its R2 SUV are still on track for the second quarter, and Rivian said it will announce details about the R2 and other products at an event on March 12.

Investopedia Answers

A solid fourth quarter and ambitious plans for 2026 have Rivian stock soaring Friday.

Rivian (RIVN) shares jumped more than 20% after the electric vehicle maker narrowly topped revenue estimates at $1.29 billion, while recording a smaller adjusted loss than analysts had forecast at 54 cents per share.

The company said its plans to start selling the R2, an SUV that will be cheaper than its current vehicles, remain on track for the second quarter. Rivian said that more details about its product lineup will be coming at a March 12 event.

Rivian expects to deliver between 62,000 and 67,000 vehicles this year, a more than 50% jump at the midpoint from the 42,247 it delivered in 2025. The company hopes software upgrades and its new model can help drive demand that has slowed in the U.S. after the Trump administration allowed EV tax credits to expire last September.

Wedbush analysts said they remain confident in Rivian's long-term plan and said the EV maker is in the midst of a "massive transformation" as it looks to streamline production of its R1 vehicles and ramp production of R2s this year. Wedbush has an "outperform" rating on the stock and a $25 price target.

Rivian shares were up 24% at $17.30 in recent trading. Despite today's surge, the stock is still down more than 10% since the start of 2026 after hitting its highest level in two years in December.

UAA's International Momentum Builds on Strength in Latin America, EMEA stocknewsapi
UAA
Key Takeaways UAA's international revenues rose 3% y/y to $577M in Q3, contrasting North America declines.Under Armour saw EMEA sales climb 6%, with disciplined promotions supporting pricing.UAA's Latin America revenue jumped 19.7%, while the Asia Pacific showed sequential improvement. Under Armour, Inc. (UAA - Free Report) delivered encouraging signs of resilience across its international operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, even as overall revenues remained under pressure. Performance outside North America continues to benefit from tighter execution, disciplined promotions and improving brand relevance, supporting the company’s broader turnaround efforts.

Revenues from the international business rose 3% year over year, or 1% on a currency-neutral basis, to $577 million. The increase highlights improving demand trends in key overseas markets and contrasts with ongoing declines in North America, reinforcing the growing importance of international operations to overall stability.

Within the segment, EMEA remained a steady contributor. Revenues increased 6% year over year to $315.8 million, supported by growth in both wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels. Management emphasized that disciplined promotional management is protecting pricing integrity while reinforcing partner confidence, enabling the region to deliver steady, reliable outcomes.

Trends in the Asia Pacific remained pressured, with revenues down 5%, but the decline marked a sequential improvement from the first half. Leadership said decisive inventory actions, sharper assortments and upgraded management teams are positioning the market for stabilization over the next 12 months. Latin America delivered standout growth, with revenues rising 19.7% to $70.6 million, driven by broad-based strength across channels and improving brand awareness.

International visibility is also benefiting from major global sports moments. Athlete participation on world stages and strong football-focused campaigns across Europe are driving engagement, cultural relevance and full-price sell-through. Executives view these activations as repeatable proof points that the brand is reconnecting with athletes in meaningful ways.

Management expects EMEA revenues to grow 9% in fiscal 2026, positioning the region as a key offset to near-term pressure elsewhere. With international markets delivering improving consistency, these operations are playing an increasingly important role in supporting Under Armour’s path toward stabilization and more predictable performance in fiscal 2027.

UAA’s Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesShares of the company have gained 55.2% in the past three months compared with the industry’s 9.8% growth.

Is Phillips 66's Refining Segment Poised for Continued Strength? stocknewsapi
PSX
Key Takeaways Phillips 66 may benefit as softer WTI prices reduce crude input costs for its refining segment.EIA sees rising global inventories, projecting 2026 WTI at $53.42 per barrel vs. $65.40 in 2025.PSX shares rose 22% in a year; 2026 earnings estimates have moved higher in the past week. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil price is currently hovering around $63 per barrel, according to data from Oilprice.com, which is significantly lower than a year ago. Phillips 66 (PSX - Free Report) is likely to gain from the softer crude pricing environment.

This is because Phillips 66 is a leading refining company. Hence, it is now able to purchase oil at a lower cost, enabling the production of end products. Crude prices are likely to remain soft in the coming days, as the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”) expects global oil inventories to continue increasing.  

EIA projects the spot average West Texas Intermediate price for 2026 at $53.42 per barrel, lower than $65.40 per barrel in 2025. Thus, Phillips 66, which generates significant margin from its refining activities, is likely to benefit from lower oil prices.

VLO & PARR Also Poised to Gain

Valero Energy Corporation (VLO - Free Report) and Par Pacific Holdings Inc. (PARR - Free Report) , two other well-known refiners, are also likely to benefit from the ongoing relatively low oil prices.

Valero Energy, with 15 refineries, has a throughput capacity of 3.2 million barrels per day. VLO mentioned that its refining activities are capable of generating sufficient cash flows to support shareholders’ returns along with growth.  

Par Pacific is mainly a refining company with the capacity to process 219,000 barrels of oil daily. Notably, having exposure to Canadian heavy oil, which is cheaper than lighter crude, Par Pacific is likely to have been enjoying a cost advantage.

PSX’s Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates

Shares of PSX have gained 22% over the past year compared with the 25.2% rise of the composite stocks belonging to the industry.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

From a valuation standpoint, PSX trades at a trailing 12-month enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) of 13.03X. This is above the broader industry average of 5.06X.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PSX’s 2026 earnings has seen upward revisions over the past seven days.

CPI Increased in Line With Expectations stocknewsapi
AAP CPI MRNA NVDA WEN
As far as economic reports go, the good news just keeps on coming. Seemingly running on a separate track from investor fears about AI’s future role in the economy, today’s latest inflation read came in as well as anyone has the right to expect. Pre-market futures had been wallowing in negative territory ahead of this print, but are now pushing toward breakeven at this hour.

January CPI Favorable: Yearly Core Lowest in 5 YearsThis morning’s delayed Consumer Price Index (CPI) report has checked all the boxes bullish investors like to see, starting with the headline +0.2% month over month — down from the +0.3% reported as month ago and estimated for January, and the lowest since July (there were no October or November 2025 reports due to the government shutdown). Subtracting volatile food and energy prices, this bumped up 10 basis points (bps) month over month to +0.3%.

Headline CPI year over year is also known as the Inflation Rate, and this dropped 30 bps month over month to +2.4% — the lowest we’ve seen since May of last year and 60 bps down from where we were last September. Shelter and food moderated to +0.2% while energy prices fell -1.5%. Core CPI year over year came in at +2.5% — down 10 bps month over month and the lightest print since March of 2021.

The metrics can again be traced to cheaper energy prices, especially gasoline, which dropped -7.5% last month. Used cars and trucks fell -2%. Perhaps most impressively, this core CPI Inflation Rate has melted down 80 bps from the +3.3% we saw one year ago. This looks to have been a flawless report, suitable for framing. For sure they don’t all come in like this.

Q4 Earnings Reports at a Glance: WEN, AAP, MRNAA few notable Q4 earnings reports hit the tape this morning, in what has been the busiest week of earnings season so far, based on volume. Most marquee names not named NVIDIA ((NVDA - Free Report) have already reported, but we will continue the cavalcade through next week, as well.

Wendy’s ((WEN - Free Report) outperformed expectations on both top and bottom lines, with earnings of 16 cents per share bettering the Zacks consensus by 2 cents. Revenues of $542.97 million in the quarter improved over estimates by +0.28%, but are notably down year over year. The “Ozempic consumer” has spoken. Shares continue to tumble another 4% in early trading, to nearly 13-year lows.

Advance Auto Parts ((AAP - Free Report) , on the other hand, posted a huge +110% positive earnings surprise in its Q4 report this morning: 86 cents per share versus estimates of 41 cents. Revenues came in ahead of expectations by +0.97% to $1.97 billion, and shares continue to climb in today’s pre-market on the news.

Biotech vax developer Moderna ((MRNA - Free Report) posted a better-than-expected loss per share of -$2.11 (versus -$2.60 in the Zacks consensus) on $678 million in quarterly revenues, +2.8% higher than anticipated — though still way down from the $966 million in the year-ago quarter. But shares are climbing another +1.7% at this hour, adding to its +36% gains year to date.

TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire / February 13, 2026 / Food Culture Inc. (OTCMarkets:FCUL) ("FCUL" or the "Company") announces that it has entered into a revolving commercial line of credit agreement providing for borrowings of up to US$1,000,000.

The facility is intended to finance purchase orders, inventory acquisition, and related working capital requirements as the Company advances planned 2026 product initiatives. Advances under the line will be secured by inventory and trade receivables, and are corporate obligations of the Company. Each advance initially matures 150 days from funding and converts thereafter into a six-month amortized repayment schedule.

The Company believes the facility provides access to working capital to support production and distribution planning activities.

Ruben Yakubov, Chairman of Food Culture, commented, "This credit facility represents an important step in strengthening our financial foundation as we move into a critical execution phase. With structured access to working capital now in place, we are better positioned to support production, align distribution relationships, and introduce our branded portfolio to the U.S. retail market in a measured and responsible manner. We look forward to updating shareholders as each initiative progresses."

Operational Update

The Company is coordinating production, regulatory preparation, and supply chain alignment for multiple branded beverage initiatives anticipated for staged introduction during 2026.

Engagement of co-packers with negotiated pricing structures

Alignment with bottle, label, and packaging suppliers for 2026 production

Advancement of TTB approvals and state re-registration processes

Finalization of insurance coverage through U.S.-based brokers

Ongoing work related to distribution planning and logistics

The Company has reached commercial terms with a U.S.-based distribution partner, subject to final documentation and implementation.

The Company intends to stage product introductions across multiple time periods in 2026 in order to align production timelines, regulatory processes, and distribution readiness. Management plans to issue follow-up news releases over the coming weeks and months introducing each branded product as they are presented to U.S. distributors for potential retail market placement.

Management's approach is focused on phased execution, inventory management, and measured capital deployment as market introductions progress.

Where Will Cisco (CSCO) Stock Be in 5 Years? stocknewsapi
CSCO
This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.

Sometimes favored but other times reviled, Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) is a technology firm that never ceases to garner interest. Cisco stock is always in motion, but the burning question is whether the share price will be higher or lower in five years’ time. 

At the very least, bulls and bears must concede that Cisco has come a long way since the dot-com-era days. Today, Cisco is a strong networking/communications technology market contender that’s deeply immersed in artificial intelligence (AI).

The pessimists might declare that Cisco peaked in the dot-com days, but that’s an overly harsh assessment. Frankly, it’s fine that some folks underestimate Cisco as this leaves the door open to significantly higher share prices in the coming years.

Rocket Ship Takes a Dip Over the past year and a half, CSCO stock has been on a rocket ride that undoubtedly put some short sellers out of commission. There’s been a recent price pullback which we’ll discuss in a moment, but overall, the momentum has been decidedly to the upside.

It’s probably a good thing that Cisco stock dipped from $85 to $75 as this will allow for some digestion of the gains. Notably, Cisco’s trailing 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 21.44x, which is 8.43% below the sector average.

To put it another way, Cisco appears to be reasonably valued and you don’t have to worry about buying at the top now. On its multi-year trajectory, CSCO stock has the potential to double to $150 in five years — and wouldn’t you rather get in at $75 than at $85?

By the way, Cisco stock also happens to pay a decent dividend for a large-cap technology stock. At the moment, Cisco’s forward annual dividend yield is nearly 2%, and our five-year share-price forecast doesn’t include the dividend-reinvestment opportunities.

Perfectly Good Results The naysayers can complain about a CSCO stock “rug pull” from $85 to $75 if they want to. Yet, it’s really an opportunity instead of a problem if Cisco is doing well from a financial standpoint. 

Indeed, value seekers ought to consider it positive news that Cisco stock sank despite perfectly good financial results. Consider, for example, that Cisco grew its second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue by 10% to $15.3 billion.

Looking ahead, Cisco’s management projects current-quarter revenue in the range of $15.4 billion to $15.6 billion. Thus, the $15.3 net revenue recorded in the second fiscal quarter probably wasn’t just a fluke.

Turning to the bottom-line results, Cisco’s Q2 FY2026 non-GAAP net income increased 10% year over year to $4.1 billion. It looks even better if we use GAAP measurements and then observe that Cisco’s net income grew 31% to $3.2 billion.

There’s nothing objectionable in Cisco’s headline numbers, so it’s the bears’ burden to explain why CSCO stock shouldn’t at least hit $150 in five years. Moreover, Cisco is upping the ante in AI integration with its recent acquisitions of enterprise AI platform company NeuralFabric Corp. and AI software business EzDubs, Inc.

Remember, the market will find excuses to rotate out of stocks temporarily even if the companies are in good shape. Technology stocks have been shaky lately, but that’s not a Cisco-specific problem. If and when the market collectively decides to buy NASDAQ 100 stocks again, Cisco stock should move higher.

Keep Tabs on Cisco’s Expenditures If there’s a topic that investors ought to pay more attention to, it’s financial outlays. Too much time is spent on revenue growth and not enough is spent on cost controls.

We can use Cisco’s Q2 FY2026 data as an example of what investors need to keep tabs on. Sure, Cisco’s revenue and income grew substantially on a year-over-year basis, but it’s important to watch out for what I call “expenses creep.” 

In this day and age, technology firms’ financial outlays on AI technology continue to creep higher, quarter after quarter and year after year. That’s fine as long as revenue growth continues at its current pace for these companies.

Checking in on Cisco during the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the company’s GAAP operating expenses increased 3% year over year to $6.2 billion. On a non-GAAP basis, those expenses grew 6% to $5 billion.

This isn’t a cause for panic right now, but it’s definitely something to monitor closely. If Cisco starts to creep up its expenditures into the double digits, the shareholders should call for better fiscal discipline.

So, feel free to keep track of Cisco’s operating expenses to make sure that the AI arms race isn’t too costly for this company. That said, the upside potential remains strong for CSCO stock and unless circumstances change drastically, a five-year price target of $150 is absolutely attainable.

APLD's Energy Strategy is Evolving: Can it Drive Further Upside? stocknewsapi
APLD
Key Takeaways APLD is treating energy as a strategic asset, investing in on-site gas power and advanced cooling.Applied Digital teams with Babcock and Wilcox to speed gas power and backs Corintis for denser AI loads.Zacks Consensus Estimate pegs fiscal Q3 revenues at $75.06M, up 41.83% year over year. Applied Digital (APLD - Free Report) is enhancing its competitive edge by treating energy availability as a strategic asset rather than a passive input. Through its collaboration with Babcock and Wilcox Enterprises and a $15 million lead investment in Corintis, APLD is targeting two structural constraints in AI infrastructure: power deployment speed and thermal efficiency.

The Babcock and Wilcox initiative is intended to accelerate on-site power generation using proven steam turbine technology for new natural gas-fired plants. With traditional gas turbines facing delivery timelines that extend into the early 2030s, this approach could shorten time-to-power for new campuses. For APLD, earlier generation availability may translate into faster lease commencements, improved utilization of contracted megawatts and stronger revenue visibility across development cycles. Meanwhile, the Corintis investment aligns with APLD's push toward higher-density AI workloads within its Polaris campuses. As customers migrate to next-generation GPUs with rising thermal intensity, cooling constraints can limit effective rack density and monetizable megawatts. If the micro-channelled cold plate systems perform as intended, APLD may be able to sustain higher compute density per building.

However, both strategies involve execution complexity. Power generation projects are subject to permissions, construction timelines and utility coordination, while advanced cooling platforms must demonstrate performance consistency at hyperscale. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter revenues is pegged at $75.06 million, up 41.83% year over year. Whether APLD's strategic approach to energy as a competitive differentiator translates into sustained financial outperformance will depend on how effectively these power and cooling initiatives convert into operational megawatts and lease revenues.

APLD Faces Stiff CompetitionApplied Digital competes with Vertiv Holdings (VRT - Free Report) and nVent Electric (NVT - Free Report) in addressing power constraints for AI infrastructure. Vertiv provides power delivery and backup systems that enable higher-density deployments for hyperscale customers, while nVent Electric supplies power distribution and thermal management components across data center operators. Both Vertiv and nVent Electric serve multiple customers through equipment sales, spreading technology risk across deployments. Applied Digital's direct ownership of power infrastructure through strategic partnerships aims to accelerate campus energization timelines. However, Vertiv's and nVent Electric's vendor model requires less capital per megawatt than Applied Digital's integrated campus approach, which concentrates both power deployment risk and control at the site level.

APLD’s Share Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesApplied Digital shares have jumped 148.6% in the past six months, outperforming the broader Zacks Finance sector’s return of 4.6% and the Zacks Financial-Miscellaneous Services industry’s decline of 27.1%.

APLD Stock’s Performance

Applied Digital stock is overvalued, with a forward 12-month price/sales of 21.62X compared with the broader sector’s 9.23X. APLD has a Value Score of F.

APLD’s Valuation

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter fiscal 2026 loss is pegged at 10 cents per share, widening by 3 cents over the past 30 days. Applied Digital reported a loss of 16 cents per share in the previous year.

After weeks of sustained selling pressure that began before Christmas, auto-giant Tesla Inc NASDAQ: TSLA finally looks like it has some fight in it again. It will come as a relief for many investors.

At one point last week, shares were down more than 20% from December’s all-time high, a sobering pullback for one of the market’s most closely watched momentum names. 

Get Tesla alerts:

Recently, the stock has begun to rebound, putting buyers back in the conversation. Headwinds remain, and volatility is unlikely to disappear anytime soon, but this is as exciting a moment to be watching Tesla as any this year so far. Two points support the bull case here, but one technical risk still stands out.

Reason #1 to Buy: Momentum Indicators Are Flashing Green The most immediate argument for the bulls is the technical setup. Tesla has bounced hard off the $390 level, which acted as a floor several times last quarter during weak periods when the bears ran out of steam. That level has once again attracted buyers, suggesting it remains a meaningful area of support, and one the bears will need to break down if they’re going to maintain control. 

In addition, Tesla’s momentum indicators are also starting to flash green. Its MACD is on the verge of a bullish crossover, while its relative strength index (RSI) has started trending higher after veering into oversold territory. While individually noteworthy, together, those signals carry a fair bit of weight and suggest short-term momentum has swung away from the sellers and back toward the bulls.

When a heavily watched stock like Tesla stabilizes at known support and momentum begins to flip like this, the risk/reward profile improves rapidly. From current levels, the downside looks more defined, while the upside opens back toward recent highs. That asymmetry is what makes the current entry point attractive.

Reason #2 to Buy: Bullish Price Targets Reinforce the Technical Thesis The technical case is being reinforced by ongoing analyst support. In recent weeks, the teams at President Capital, RBC, and Stifel Nicolaus have all reiterated Buy or equivalent ratings on Tesla, with refreshed price targets north of $500. From current levels, that implies roughly 20% upside—not bad for a $1.35 trillion stock. 

That potential gain aligns neatly with the technical thesis. If the bulls are indeed kicking off a comeback rally from support around the $390-$400, a move back toward $500 is not an unreasonable target. This level of bullish analyst conviction adds weight to the idea that last week’s sell-off may have been the last roll of the dice by the bears.  

As its chart will attest, Tesla is rarely a stock that moves quietly. When momentum turns, it tends to do so rapidly and decisively. The current combination of support holding and bullish price targets creates a setup that is difficult to ignore.

1 Reason to Sell: Valuation Risk Increases After Trend Damage However, for all the bullish arguments, there is one big problem that cannot be brushed aside. The selling that gathered pace through the start of February broke the uptrend that had been in place since last April. That’s a bad look, no matter how you frame it. It sounds simple, but uptrends must be intact for sustained rallies to take shape. Once they’re broken, confidence often takes time to rebuild, and that’s a risk that Tesla shares carry right now. 

This breakdown also feeds into broader concerns about valuation. Tesla trades at a frothy multiple, which means investors will be far less forgiving if the bulls can’t maintain this uptick. If the current rebound fizzes out, shares could easily roll over, confirming that a more sustained downtrend has begun.

In other words, this is a pivotal moment. The bulls have shown up at $390, and momentum is turning in their favor. But if that support fails, the technical damage will deepen.

Roku stock surges on earnings beat, record quarter for premium subscriptions stocknewsapi
ROKU
watch now

Shares of Roku jumped more than 6% on Friday after the video streaming company posted fourth-quarter results that trounced analysts' expectations and offered strong guidance.

Here's how the company did based on analysts' estimates compiled by LSEG:

Earnings per share: 53 cents adjusted vs. 28 centsRevenue: $1.39 billion vs. $1.35 billion"The biggest driver of our subscriptions business is just the secular trend of more and more services moving into a service like premium subscriptions instead of just doing their own app," Roku CEO Anthony Wood told CNBC's Julia Boorstin on Friday. "That's really, I think, the core driver."

Roku executives said in their shareholder letter that the fourth quarter was the "biggest quarter ever" for net adds to premium subscriptions. The program lets users subscribe to different streaming services, like HBO Max and Paramount+, using a single login on the Roku platform.

The company said it expects to roll out premium subscription bundles this year.

For the current period, Roku said it expects to report $1.2 billion in revenue, which is higher than the $1.16 billion expected by analysts, according to StreetAccount. It also projected full-year revenue of $5.5 billion, surpassing analyst estimates of $5.34 billion, according to StreetAccount.

Last May, Roku acquired Frndly, a live TV subscription streaming service, for $185 million. The company also recently launched an ad-free streaming service, called Howdy, that costs $2.99 a month.

Wood told investors on the company's earnings call that Howdy has the potential to become a "very large service" over time. Roku also said it's on track to surpass 100 million streaming households this year.

Analysts at Rosenblatt Securities on Friday upgraded Roku's stock to buy from neutral, citing the strong fourth-quarter results and several potential growth levers for the company in the near term.

"Big picture — Roku has built a formidable gatekeeper presence for U.S. streaming — half of all streaming in the U.S. on TVs goes through their devices," the analysts wrote.

Rosenblatt noted the improved ability to monetize streaming with its partnership with Amazon, a new ad tool for small and mid-sized businesses and tweaks made to the front page for advanced ads.
