FMP Stock News
Original source text
NEW YORK, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP alerts investors in AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) of a pending securities class action naming three senior executives as individual defendants. Class Period: June 25, 2025 through March 10, 2026. Check if you can recover your investment losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] | (212) 363-7500.

AeroVironment’s share price sank from $392.86 to $207.73 over the course of three successive corrective disclosures in the first three months of 2026. The Court has set July 27, 2026 as the deadline to apply for lead plaintiff appointment.

The Named Individual Defendants

The securities action identifies three AeroVironment officers as controlling persons who allegedly directed and approved the Company's public statements during the Class Period:

Wahid Nawabi served as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board at all relevant times. Nawabi personally characterized the SCAR program as "a $1 billion franchise" and a "tremendous growth opportunity" at multiple investor events and earnings calls, according to the complaint.Kevin P. McDonnell served as Chief Financial Officer at all relevant times. McDonnell allegedly touted BADGER contract awards as "significant" and projected improving gross margins tied to the SCAR program's production ramp.Mary Clum served as President of AeroVironment's Space, Cyber & Directed Energy business segment from October 2025. Clum allegedly told investors the Company was "ready to scale" and "ready to build more" BADGER systems, claiming the customer was "asking for more." Section 20(a) Control Person Framework

Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 imposes liability on individuals who control a company that has violated the securities laws. The complaint asserts that each Individual Defendant possessed the power and authority to control the contents of AeroVironment's SEC filings, press releases, and investor communications. The pleading further alleges that each defendant was provided with copies of public filings prior to issuance and had the ability and opportunity to prevent their issuance or to cause them to be corrected.

Sarbanes-Oxley Certification Obligations

Under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Defendants allegedly certified the accuracy and completeness of AeroVironment's SEC filings during the Class Period, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The complaint contends these certifications were made while the defendants knew or recklessly disregarded that:

The U.S. Space Force was reassessing its single-vendor acquisition strategy for SCARAeroVironment's characterization of SCAR as a locked-in growth driver was materially misleadingThe Company's revenue guidance of $1.9 billion to $2.0 billion was built on contract revenue at serious riskAeroVironment's $4.1 billion BlueHalo acquisition valuation depended on SCAR program assumptions that were deteriorating Scienter Allegations

The lawsuit charges that Nawabi and McDonnell together sold approximately 49,199 shares of AeroVironment stock for over $7.8 million in proceeds during the Class Period. Nawabi sold 22,669 shares for over $5.69 million, and McDonnell sold 26,530 shares for over $1.89 million. Clum allegedly maintained close, "shoulder-to-shoulder" communication with the U.S. Space Force customer, which the complaint contends gave her direct knowledge of the shifting acquisition strategy.

"Corporate officers have a duty to ensure their companies' public statements are accurate and complete. When executives personally certify financial disclosures under Sarbanes-Oxley while allegedly aware that a $1.7 billion contract is at risk of termination, the accountability framework of Section 20(a) serves to protect investors who relied on those representations." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Frequently Asked Questions About the AVAV Lawsuit

Q: Who are the defendants named in the AVAV lawsuit? A: The complaint names AeroVironment, Inc. and three individual defendants: CEO and Chairman Wahid Nawabi, CFO Kevin P. McDonnell, and Space segment President Mary Clum, all of whom allegedly signed SEC filings, made public statements, or certified financial disclosures under Sarbanes-Oxley during the Class Period.

Q: What specific misstatements does the AVAV lawsuit allege? A: The complaint alleges AeroVironment made materially false or misleading statements regarding the stability and growth prospects of the $1.7 billion SCAR contract, including characterizing it as a "$1 billion franchise" and "tremendous growth opportunity" while the U.S. Space Force was reassessing its single-vendor acquisition strategy. When the true state was revealed through a stop work order, contract termination, and $151.3 million goodwill impairment, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: What is a lead plaintiff and why does it matter? A: A lead plaintiff is the investor appointed by the court to represent the entire class. Lead plaintiffs are typically investors with the largest documented losses. Being appointed does not increase individual recovery but gives direct oversight of how the case is run.

Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: Nothing. Securities class actions are handled on a pure contingency basis. No upfront fees, no retainer, no out-of-pocket costs.

Q: What if I already sold my AVAV shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold them. Investors who bought during the class period and sold at a loss may still participate.

Q: How long will the lawsuit take to resolve? A: Securities class actions typically take two to four years from initial filing to resolution.

Q: What happens after I contact Levi & Korsinsky? A: An attorney will review your trading history at no cost and provide an initial assessment of your potential recovery.

Monolithic Power (MPWR) Is Up 6.50% in One Week: What You Should Know
MPWR Monolithic Power Systems
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Momentum investing revolves around the idea of following a stock's recent trend in either direction. In "long context," investors will be essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." With this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving that way. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.

While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.

Below, we take a look at Monolithic Power (MPWR - Free Report) , a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of B. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score.

It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Monolithic Power currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.

You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>>

Set to Beat the Market? In order to see if MPWR is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this chipmaker holds up.

Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area.

For MPWR, shares are up 6.5% over the past week while the Zacks Semiconductor - Analog and Mixed industry is up 4.23% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 1.76% compares favorably with the industry's 1.62% performance as well.

Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Over the past quarter, shares of Monolithic Power have risen 47.57%, and are up 134.37% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 11.66% and 24.19%, respectively.

Investors should also take note of MPWR's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. Right now MPWR is averaging 715,559 shares for the last 20 days..

Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with MPWR.

Over the past two months, 8 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost MPWR's consensus estimate, increasing from $21.63 to $24.05 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 8 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.

Bottom LineTaking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that MPWR is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of B. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Monolithic Power on your short list.

GPK UPCOMING DEADLINE: Levi & Korsinsky Alerts Graphic Packaging Holding Company Stockholders of Securities Class Action - Contact the Firm
GPK Graphic Packaging Holding Company
FMP Stock News
Original source text
NEW YORK, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Graphic Packaging Holding Company (NYSE: GPK) that a securities class action has been filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased securities between February 4, 2025 and February 2, 2026. Submit your information to recover losses. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.

GPK shares collapsed from $25.31 before the first corrective disclosure to $12.42 by February 3, 2026, a cumulative loss exceeding 50%. The lead plaintiff deadline is July 6, 2026.

What They Allegedly Knew Before Shareholders Did

The securities action alleges that Graphic Packaging's leadership possessed internal information about deteriorating demand, ballooning inventory levels, and rising input costs throughout the Class Period, yet continued issuing optimistic public statements and financial guidance that concealed the true state of affairs.

As early as the February 2025 earnings call, analysts flagged that inventory days had "jumped up since 2018" and "kicked up" further in recent years. Rather than acknowledging the growing problem, management characterized elevated inventory as intentional preparation for a new mill startup, promising investors it would "wash through pretty quickly." The lawsuit maintains this characterization obscured systemic inventory mismanagement that would ultimately require emergency production curtailments costing tens of millions.

The Red Flags That Emerged

By Q1 2025, revenue had already declined 6.2% year-over-year and EPS missed consensus by $0.07, yet management continued to assert the business model was "strong and steady"Analysts specifically questioned whether inventory levels were balanced; management responded that demand was "strong" and they had received "no indications" it would declineThe CFO's resignation was announced in October 2025 (effective November 7, 2025), just weeks before further negative disclosures about accelerated inventory reduction and additional production curtailmentsManagement sold approximately $8.8 million in personal GPK stock during the Class Period while allegedly aware of the concealed operational deteriorationFY 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance was cut from $1.68B-$1.78B to $1.38B-$1.43B across successive revisions, a reduction of approximately $325 million at the midpointThe CEO's departure was announced simultaneously with the December 2025 guidance cut, and his successor immediately launched a "comprehensive review" of the company's operations and footprint Inside Knowledge vs. Public Statements

The complaint chronicles a pattern: each quarter, management publicly minimized known problems while privately the operational situation worsened. On the May 2025 call, the action claims, executives stated they would "aggressively match supply and demand" and "run to demand." By July, management asserted "demand is strong" and volumes were "quite good." Yet by December, the Company was forced to accelerate inventory reduction plans originally scheduled for 2026, acknowledging $30 million in combined production curtailment costs.

"The timeline raises important questions about when certain risks were known internally versus when they were disclosed to the investing public," stated Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Act now to protect your rights or call (212) 363-7500.

What Investors Were Not Told

The February 2026 disclosure confirmed the full scope of what the action contends was long concealed: a $130 million negative EBITDA impact from inventory actions, a $100 million incentive compensation accrual, and a new CEO compelled to undertake a top-to-bottom operational review. Investors who purchased GPK securities at prices allegedly inflated by management's concealment were left holding shares worth a fraction of their purchase price.

ABOUT THE FIRM -- Levi & Korsinsky represents investors in securities class actions nationwide, with a track record of recovering hundreds of millions for shareholders harmed by alleged corporate concealment. Ranked among ISS Top 50 for seven consecutive years. Lead plaintiff applications must be submitted by July 6, 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions About the GPK Lawsuit

Q: When did Graphic Packaging allegedly mislead investors? A: The class period runs from February 4, 2025 to February 2, 2026. The alleged fraud was revealed through three corrective disclosures causing significant stock declines on May 1, 2025, December 9, 2025, and February 3, 2026.

Q: How much did GPK stock drop? A: Shares fell from $25.31 before the first corrective disclosure to $12.42 by February 3, 2026. The immediate response to the corrective disclosures listed in the complaint triggered declines of $3.95 (15.57%), $1.35 (8.66%), and $2.36 (15.97%), respectively. Investors who purchased during the class period at artificially inflated prices may be entitled to compensation.

Q: What do GPK investors need to do right now? A: Gather brokerage records including purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid. Contact Levi & Korsinsky for a free, no-obligation evaluation at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500. No immediate action is required to remain eligible as a class member.

Q: What is a lead plaintiff and why does it matter? A: A lead plaintiff is the investor appointed by the court to represent the entire class. Lead plaintiffs are typically investors with the largest documented losses. Being appointed does not increase individual recovery but gives direct oversight of how the case is run.

Q: What if I already sold my GPK shares -- can I still recover losses? A: Yes. Eligibility is based on when you purchased, not whether you still hold them. Investors who bought during the class period and sold at a loss may still participate.

Q: Do I need to go to court or give testimony? A: No. The overwhelming majority of class members never appear in court or give depositions. You submit a claim form to receive your portion of recovery.

Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: Nothing. Securities class actions are handled on a pure contingency basis. No upfront fees, no retainer, no out-of-pocket costs.

Deadline Approaching: Verra Mobility Corporation (VRRM) Shareholders Who Lost Money Urged To Contact Law Offices of Howard G. Smith
VRRM Verra Mobility
FMP Stock News
Original source text
BENSALEM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming August 4, 2026 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who purchased Verra Mobility Corporation (“Verra” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VRRM) common stock between February 24, 2026 and May 26, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR WHO SUFFERED A LOSS IN VERRA MOBILITY CORPORATION (VRRM), CONTACT THE LAW OFFICES OF HOWARD G. SMITH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ONGOING SECURITIES FRAUD LAWSUIT.

Contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss your legal rights by email at [email protected], by telephone at (215) 638-4847 or visit our website at www.howardsmithlaw.com.

What Happened?

On May 26, 2026, Verra disclosed that it had received a termination notice from Avis Budget Group regarding its contract. The Company accordingly lowered its full year 2026 financial outlook.

On this news, Verra’s stock price fell $9.23, or 70.6%, to close at $3.85 per share on May 27, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

On June 1, 2026, Verra announced that its President and Chief Executive Officer had been terminated as “the Board determined that a change in leadership [was] needed[.]”

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) Verra’s optimistic plan for continued growth in its Commercial Services business was dependent on its relationship with Avis, and in particular obtaining a contract extension with Avis Budget; (2) the Company minimized concerns that major RACs could replace Verra with in-house solutions or outsourced alternatives, making Verra’s 2026 full year guidance increasingly unlikely to be met; and (3) 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 Verra common stock during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than August 4, 2026 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements.

Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. (CRDO) is a Great Momentum Stock: Should You Buy?

And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.

While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.

Below, we take a look at Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. (CRDO - Free Report) , which currently has a Momentum Style Score of A. We also discuss some of the main drivers of the Momentum Style Score, like price change and earnings estimate revisions.

It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.

You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>>

Set to Beat the Market? In order to see if CRDO is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this company holds up.

Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area.

For CRDO, shares are up 21.23% over the past week while the Zacks Electronics - Semiconductors industry is up 6.05% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 45.68% compares favorably with the industry's 6.3% performance as well.

Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Over the past quarter, shares of Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. have risen 142.56%, and are up 241.29% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 11.66% and 24.19%, respectively.

Investors should also pay attention to CRDO's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. CRDO is currently averaging 9,447,932 shares for the last 20 days.

Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock's price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with CRDO.

Over the past two months, 6 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost CRDO's consensus estimate, increasing from $4.60 to $5.94 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 3 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.

Bottom LineGiven these factors, it shouldn't be surprising that CRDO is a #1 (Strong Buy) stock and boasts a Momentum Score of A. If you're looking for a fresh pick that's set to soar in the near-term, make sure to keep Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd. on your short list.

Can Axon Boosts Margin Performance Amid Cost Pressures?
AXON Axon Enterprise
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways AXON's adjusted EBITDA reached $201.6M in Q1 2026, while margin declined to 25%.AXON's adjusted gross margin fell 200 bps as cost of sales and expenses increased.AXON targets a 28% adjusted EBITDA margin by 2028, supported by revenue growth and cost management. Axon Enterprise, Inc. (AXON - Free Report) achieved an adjusted EBITDA of $201.6 million in first-quarter 2026, which surged 29.9% year over year. However, the company's adjusted EBITDA margin was 25%, reflecting a decrease of 70 basis points (bps). The decline was attributable to the adverse impacts of higher operating costs and expenses, global tariffs and increased investment in R&D.

Despite impressive revenue growth of 33.7% year over year, AXON’s adjusted gross margin in the first quarter fell 200 basis points to 61.6%. The company’s cost of sales increased 38.8%, while its selling, general and administrative expenses surged 15.9% in the quarter.

Nevertheless, the company’s focus on effective cost management and revenue growth is expected to improve its margin performance. For 2026, AXON currently expects an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 25.5%, relatively flat year over year. The company has set a long-term financial target to achieve about 28% of adjusted EBITDA margin by 2028, supported by annual revenues of $6 billion.

It's worth noting that, effective first-quarter 2025, Axon realigned its business segments. This realignment has been enhancing the company’s visibility into segment-specific performance and enabling it to effectively manage its costs. This strategic move is expected to continue supporting its margin performance and operational efficiency.

Peer’s Margin performanceAmong its major peers, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (KTOS - Free Report) is facing cost pressure. In first-quarter 2026, its total costs increased 22.9% year over year, while its SG&A expenses rose 26.8%. Kratos Defense’s gross margin declined 10 bps to 24.2% in the quarter.

Woodward, Inc.’s (WWD - Free Report) total costs and expenses rose 23% year over year in second-quarter fiscal 2026 (ended March 2026). Woodward’s selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 22.1% year over year. Despite the increase in costs, Woodword’s segmental margins expanded, which was driven by higher sales, improved mix of commercial services activity and solid defense OEM demand.

AXON’s Price Performance, Valuation and EstimatesShares of Axon have gained 10.6% in the past month compared with the industry’s growth of 5.2%.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

From a valuation standpoint, AXON is trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 47.67X, above the industry’s average of 46.98X. Axon carries a Value Score of F.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AXON’s 2026 earnings has inched down 0.4% over the past 60 days.

Deadline Alert: Calix, Inc. (CALX) Shareholders Who Lost Money Urged To Contact Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP About Securities Fraud Lawsuit
CALX Calix
FMP Stock News
Original source text
LOS ANGELES, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP reminds investors of the upcoming July 27, 2026 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Calix, Inc. (“Calix” or the “Company”) (NYSE:  CALX) securities between January 28, 2026 and April 21, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR CALIX INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

What Happened?
On April 21, 2026, after the market closed, Calix reported results for the first quarter of 2026 earnings, including that “[n]on-GAAP gross margin was 57.2%, a decrease of 80 basis points sequentially.” Further, the Company reported gross margin guidance for the second quarter of 2026 is “55.8% (at the midpoint) is down 140 basis points from the previous quarter. This decline is primarily due the increase in memory component costs.”

In the accompanying earnings call held on the same date, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Cory Sindelar, stated “advanced purchasing had allowed us to avoid higher memory component costs during the first quarter. However, that advanced supply has run its course, and we now face market prices.” Sindelar further revealed “reflecting the effects of higher memory component costs,” “[f]or the year, we expect our non-GAAP gross margin to decline between 50 and 150 basis points.”

On this news, Calix’s stock price fell $6.93, or 13.98% to close at $42.65 per share on April 22, 2026, on unusually heavy trading volume.

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: (1) the Company’s first quarter margins had significantly benefited from advanced purchasing of memory components; (2) that the Company’s advanced supply of memory components was dwindling; (3) that, as a result, the Company was experiencing negative margin pressure as it was forced to purchase memory components at rising market prices; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s margins, business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Calix securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than July 27, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

CALX Shareholder Alert: July 27, 2026 Lead Plaintiff Deadline in Calix, Inc. Securities Class Action - Contact Levi & Korsinsky
CALX Calix
FMP Stock News
Original source text
NEW YORK, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On January 28, 2026, Calix told the market it had achieved a non-GAAP gross margin record of 58%. On April 21, 2026, the Company admitted that record was sustained by "advanced purchasing" of memory components that had "run its course." Investors lost $6.93 per share in a single session.

Levi & Korsinsky, LLP highlights the contrast between Calix, Inc.'s (NYSE: CALX) promises and its actual results. Find out if you qualify to recover your per-share losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500.

CALX shares fell 13.98% on April 22, 2026, closing at $42.65 after trading as high as $55.61 during the Class Period. The lead plaintiff deadline is July 27, 2026.

The Promise

In its January 28, 2026 press release, Calix celebrated what it called a landmark achievement. The Company announced record quarterly revenue of $272 million, annual revenue of $1 billion representing 20% year-over-year growth, and its eighth consecutive quarter of non-GAAP gross margin improvement, reaching 58%. The lawsuit contends these statements created an unrealistically positive assessment of Calix's margin trajectory and failed to reveal the temporary nature of the cost advantage driving those results.

The Reality

Three months later, on April 21, 2026, Calix reported Q1 2026 non-GAAP gross margin of 57.2%, an 80 basis point sequential decline. More significantly, the Company guided Q2 2026 margins to 55.8% at the midpoint, a further 140 basis point drop. For the full year, management projected non-GAAP gross margin would decline between 50 and 150 basis points. The catalyst: the pre-purchased supply of lower-cost memory components had been exhausted.

Promise vs. Actual: By the Numbers

Promised margin trajectory: Eight consecutive quarters of improvement, culminating in a 58% non-GAAP gross margin recordQ1 2026 actual margin: 57.2%, an 80 basis point sequential reversal of the improvement streakQ2 2026 guidance: 55.8% at midpoint, representing a 220 basis point decline from the celebrated 58% recordFull-year outlook: Management projected a 50 to 150 basis point annual margin declineWhat was concealed: The 58% record was allegedly sustained by a finite stockpile of pre-purchased memory components bought at below-market pricesStock impact: CALX shares dropped $6.93 per share (13.98%) in a single trading session on unusually heavy volume What the Lawsuit Alleges About the Gap

As detailed in the action, the gap between Calix's January promise and its April reality was not the result of an unforeseeable market shift. The complaint charges that defendants knew the Company's advanced supply of memory components was dwindling throughout the Class Period, that the Company was already experiencing negative margin pressure from rising market prices for memory, and that the celebrated 58% record lacked a reasonable basis as a benchmark for future performance.

"Companies that make specific promises to investors about future performance have an obligation to disclose known risks to those projections. The complaint raises serious questions about whether Calix's record margin announcements omitted material information about the temporary cost advantage sustaining them." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.

Frequently Asked Questions About the CALX Lawsuit

Q: What specific misstatements does the CALX lawsuit allege? A: The complaint alleges Calix made materially false or misleading statements regarding its gross margin trajectory and the sustainability of its 58% non-GAAP gross margin record during the Class Period. Specifically, the lawsuit contends the Company failed to disclose that record margins were temporarily sustained by a dwindling supply of pre-purchased memory components bought at below-market prices. When the true state was revealed on April 21, 2026, the stock price declined sharply.

Q: How much did CALX stock drop? A: Shares fell approximately 13.98%, a decline of $6.93 per share, after the Company disclosed that its advanced purchasing supply had been exhausted and guided Q2 2026 gross margins down 140 basis points. Investors who purchased shares during the Class Period at artificially inflated prices may be entitled to compensation.

Q: What do CALX investors need to do right now? A: Gather brokerage records including purchase dates, share quantities, and prices paid. Contact Levi & Korsinsky for a free, no-obligation evaluation at [email protected] or (212) 363-7500. No immediate action is required to remain eligible as a class member.

Q: What does it cost me to participate? A: Nothing. Securities class actions are handled on a pure contingency basis. No upfront fees, no retainer, no out-of-pocket costs.

FormFactor (FORM - Free Report) could be a solid choice for investors given the company's remarkably improving earnings outlook. While the stock has been a strong performer lately, this trend might continue since analysts are still raising their earnings estimates for the company.

The rising trend in estimate revisions, which is a result of growing analyst optimism on the earnings prospects of this integrated circuits diagnostic company, should get reflected in its stock price.

Current-Year Estimate RevisionsFor the full year, the company is expected to earn $2.40 per share, representing a year-over-year change of +84.6%.

There has been an encouraging trend in estimate revisions for the current year as well. Over the past month, one estimate has moved up for FormFactor versus no negative revisions. This has pushed the consensus estimate 7.14% higher.

DaVita vs. Encompass Health: Which Healthcare Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
EHC Encompass Health Corp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Should you invest in a kidney care giant or a growing rehabilitation leader? Choosing between DaVita (DVA 0.18%) and Encompass Health (EHC 2.25%) requires weighing steady patient volumes against higher growth rates.

DaVita focuses exclusively on kidney health, primarily providing life-saving dialysis services. Encompass Health operates a national network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals for patients recovering from serious injuries or illnesses. Both companies depend heavily on government reimbursement, making them stable but sensitive to policy shifts.

The case for DaVitaDaVita provides essential dialysis services to patients with chronic kidney failure and end-stage renal disease. The company operates a massive network of 3,242 outpatient centers, with a heavy concentration in the United States. Revenue is highly concentrated in government-based programs, which account for roughly 68% of total U.S. dialysis patient service revenue. Customer concentration like this adds a layer of risk to the business, as the company depends on Medicare and Medicare Advantage for a majority of its income.

In FY 2025, revenue reached nearly $13.6 billion, up approximately 6.5% from the previous year. The company reported net income of roughly $746.8 million, resulting in a net margin of close to 5.5%. While the top line continued to expand, net income decreased from approximately $936.3 million recorded in the prior fiscal year. This trend highlights the impact of rising costs on the bottom line for healthcare stocks in the care facility space.

As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was -23.1x, which means total liabilities exceed shareholder equity. The current ratio, which measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations with short-term assets, stands at approximately 1.3x. Free cash flow for the year was nearly $1.3 billion, calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flow from operations. This level of cash generation provides the company with capital to manage its high debt load and reinvest in its dialysis center infrastructure.

The case for Encompass HealthEncompass Health is the largest owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in the United States. As of the end of 2025, it operated 173 hospitals across 39 states and Puerto Rico, serving patients who require intensive therapy. The company derives a substantial portion of its net operating revenue from the Medicare program, which accounted for approximately 65.4% of total revenues in 2025. This heavy reliance on a single government payor means that changes in federal healthcare policy can significantly impact its financial performance.

During FY 2025, the company generated revenue of approximately $5.9 billion, a growth rate of roughly 10.5% over the prior year. Net income reached close to $566.2 million, yielding a healthy net margin of nearly 9.5%. This represents a steady improvement in profitability compared to FY 2024, when the net margin was approximately 8.5%. The consistent growth in both revenue and net income suggests that the company is successfully expanding its hospital footprint and capturing demand for post-acute care.

As of the December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was roughly 1.1x. This metric compares total debt to shareholder equity to show how a company finances its assets. The current ratio was approximately 1.1x, suggesting a tight but functional balance between current assets and liabilities. Free cash flow reached nearly $439.2 million for the year. This cash allows Encompass Health to fund its ongoing hospital expansion projects and maintain its specialized medical equipment without relying solely on external financing.

Risk profile comparisonDaVita faces significant risks related to its dependence on government reimbursement rates and commercial insurance contracts. Profitability is highly sensitive to patient mix, as commercial payors typically pay higher rates than government programs. The company also deals with intense competition for nephrologists to serve as medical directors. Furthermore, a 2025 cybersecurity incident disrupted operations and billing cycles, highlighting the vulnerability of its digital infrastructure. Ongoing labor shortages for skilled clinical personnel also continue to put upward pressure on operating expenses.

Encompass Health is primarily exposed to Medicare reimbursement volatility, including potential sequestration-related payment reductions. The company must also strictly comply with the "60% Rule," which requires that a majority of patients have specific medical diagnoses to qualify for higher rehabilitation rates. Failure to meet this rule could result in the company being reclassified as an acute-care hospital, leading to significantly lower payments. Encompass Health also faces competition from local acute-care hospitals that may expand their post-acute services to retain patient volume.

Valuation comparisonDaVita currently offers a lower entry point based on earnings and sales, while Encompass Health trades at a premium that reflects its higher growth and margins.

MetricDaVitaEncompass HealthSector BenchmarkForward P/E13.1x17.3x27.1xP/S ratio0.9x1.7xSector benchmark uses the SPDR XLV sector ETF.
Valuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.

These two companies address different needs and services in the healthcare industry, and although they have both rewarded their investors in recent quarters, they offer different risk-and-reward profiles. So, which is the better investment for 2026?

DaVita has benefited from increased market share as its rival, Fresenius, closes several dialysis clinics. It also offers Integrated Kidney Care, along with dialysis, which has become profitable faster than expected. It relies on Medicare reimbursement for a large portion of its revenue, and that presents a significant risk. The company's stock has been priced at a high valuation recently, reflecting its recent performance.

Encompass Health focuses on inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. After a strong first quarter this year, it raised its guidance. It is expanding rapidly and plans to open eight new locations with nearly 600 beds this year. It also relies on Medicare Advantage for a portion of its revenue, but its sensible expansion strategy provides a more predictable opportunity for long-term growth.

Although the demand for kidney care and dialysis is expected to remain steady, so is post-surgical rehabilitation. Encompass Health’s combination of strong execution, expansion, and steady financial performance makes it my choice in this pairing. It appears to offer the most compelling opportunity for attractive returns without excessive risk.

Here's Why Casey's General Stores (CASY) is a Great Momentum Stock to Buy
CASY Caseys General Stores
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Momentum investing revolves around the idea of following a stock's recent trend in either direction. In "long context," investors will be essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." With this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving that way. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.

Even though momentum is a popular stock characteristic, it can be tough to define. Debate surrounding which are the best and worst metrics to focus on is lengthy, but the Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.

Below, we take a look at Casey's General Stores (CASY - Free Report) , which currently has a Momentum Style Score of A. We also discuss some of the main drivers of the Momentum Style Score, like price change and earnings estimate revisions.

It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Casey's General Stores currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.

You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>>

Set to Beat the Market? In order to see if CASY is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this convenience store chain holds up.

A good momentum benchmark for a stock is to look at its short-term price activity, as this can reflect both current interest and if buyers or sellers currently have the upper hand. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area.

For CASY, shares are up 17.49% over the past week while the Zacks Retail - Convenience Stores industry is up 15.7% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 4.97% compares favorably with the industry's 7.9% performance as well.

While any stock can see its price increase, it takes a real winner to consistently beat the market. That is why looking at longer term price metrics -- such as performance over the past three months or year -- can be useful as well. Over the past quarter, shares of Casey's General Stores have risen 35.7%, and are up 76.85% in the last year. On the other hand, the S&P 500 has only moved 11.66% and 24.19%, respectively.

Investors should also take note of CASY's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. Right now CASY is averaging 628,507 shares for the last 20 days..

Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock's price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with CASY.

Over the past two months, 3 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost CASY's consensus estimate, increasing from $20.07 to $20.58 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 2 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.

Bottom LineTaking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that CASY is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of A. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Casey's General Stores on your short list.

Are You Looking for a High-Growth Dividend Stock?
EWBC East West Bancorp
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Getting big returns from financial portfolios, whether through stocks, bonds, ETFs, other securities, or a combination of all, is an investor's dream. But for income investors, generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments is your primary focus.

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

Headquartered in Pasadena, East West Bancorp (EWBC - Free Report) is a Finance stock that has seen a price change of 18.01% so far this year. The bank holding company is currently shelling out a dividend of $0.80 per share, with a dividend yield of 2.41%. This compares to the Banks - West industry's yield of 2.66% and the S&P 500's yield of 1.41%.

Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $3.20 is up 33.3% from last year. Over the last 5 years, East West Bancorp has increased its dividend 5 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 18.17%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. East West Bancorp's current payout ratio is 32%, meaning it paid out 32% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.

Earnings growth looks solid for EWBC for this fiscal year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $10.61 per share, representing a year-over-year earnings growth rate of 11.80%.

From greatly improving stock investing profits and reducing overall portfolio risk to providing tax advantages, investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons. However, not all companies offer a quarterly payout.

For instance, it's a rare occurrence when a tech start-up or big growth business offers its shareholders a dividend. It's more common to see larger companies with more established profits give out dividends. During periods of rising interest rates, income investors must be mindful that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle. That said, they can take comfort from the fact that EWBC is not only an attractive dividend play, but also represents a compelling investment opportunity with a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).

Is OUT Stock a Buy as Valuation and AFFO Growth Offer Mixed Signals?
OUT Outfront Media
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways OUT trades at 13.77X forward FFO, below sub-industry, sector and S&P 500 valuation benchmarks.OUT's Q1 AFFO per share beat estimates as revenues rose 10%; expects mid-teens 2026 AFFO per share growth.OUT carries $2.6B debt and higher capex needs, though liquidity and a $1.20 annual dividend support. OUTFRONT Media Inc. (OUT - Free Report) presents a balanced case for investors. Recent execution has improved, adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) expectations have moved higher and the stock trades below several valuation benchmarks.

The offset is that this remains a cyclical, advertising-driven REIT with elevated leverage, meaningful capital needs and sensitivity to broader ad spending trends. That makes OUT look interesting, but not risk-free.

OUT Trades at a Discount to BenchmarksOUT trades at 14.67X forward 12-month FFO, below 16.98X for the Zacks sub-industry, 16.18X for the sector and 21.39X for the S&P 500 Index. That discount supports the argument that valuation is not stretched.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Still, the upside case is measured. The $33 price target reflects 14.50X FFO, suggesting modest room from recent levels rather than a deep-discount setup. Investors comparing OUT with Lamar Advertising Company (LAMR - Free Report) and Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (CCO - Free Report) may view it as part of the broader out-of-home advertising recovery theme, but valuation alone is not enough to settle the buy case.

OUT Shows Better AFFO SetupThe better part of the story is operating momentum. Management expects 2026 consolidated AFFO to rise in the mid-teens, while the projection calls for 15.9% growth.

First-quarter 2026 results helped improve sentiment. AFFO of 34 cents per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 28 cents by 21.43%. Revenues increased 10% year over year to $429.6 million, while adjusted OIBDA rose 56.4% to $100.4 million.

Transit was a key driver, with revenues up 22.3% to $95 million. Billboard revenues rose 7.1% to $332.9 million, supported by higher proceeds from condemnations and better average revenue per display.

OUT Continues to Face Balance Sheet PressureOUT is not an uncomplicated value idea. Total indebtedness stood at $2.6 billion as of March 31, 2026 and the weighted average cost of debt was 5.3%.

Leverage also remains elevated. Debt-to-equity was 3.90, while debt-to-capital was 79.74%. Those figures matter because the company still needs to fund digital expansion and maintain its asset base.

Capital spending adds another constraint. Total capital expenditures rose 40.1% year over year to $24.1 million in the first quarter, and management still expects roughly $90 million of capital expenditures for 2026, including $30-$35 million of maintenance spending.

OUT Dividend and Cash Flow MatterThe income angle remains part of the appeal. OUT maintained its quarterly dividend at 30 cents per share, implying an annualized dividend of $1.20 and a yield near 3.8%.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Liquidity also provides support. As of March 31, 2026, OUT had $67.2 million in unrestricted cash, $494.9 million of availability under its revolving credit facility and $150 million of additional availability under its accounts receivable securitization facility.

That liquidity helps, but it does not erase the cash demands. Dividends, capital expenditures, interest costs and digital investments all compete for capital.

How OUT Rating Signals Fit the DebateThe bottom line is that OUT looks more like a wait-and-see stock than a clear buy. The valuation is below key benchmarks, and AFFO growth is improving, but leverage and capital spending keep the risk-reward balanced.

The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), which supports a neutral near-term stance. Its VGM Score of A, along with a Value Score of B, Growth Score of B and Momentum Score of B, shows a favorable blend of style characteristics. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

That mix can appeal to investors seeking a balanced REIT profile with improving fundamentals. For now, OUT’s setup is constructive but not decisive.

Note: Anything related to earnings presented in this write-up represents funds from operations (FFO) — a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs.

PSMMY vs. NVR: Which Stock Is the Better Value Option?
NVR NVR
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Investors interested in stocks from the Building Products - Home Builders sector have probably already heard of Persimmon Plc (PSMMY - Free Report) and NVR (NVR - Free Report) . But which of these two stocks offers value investors a better bang for their buck right now? We'll need to take a closer look.

There are plenty of strategies for discovering value stocks, but we have found that pairing a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system produces the best returns. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.

Currently, Persimmon Plc has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while NVR has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). Investors should feel comfortable knowing that PSMMY likely has seen a stronger improvement to its earnings outlook than NVR has recently. But this is just one factor that value investors are interested in.

Value investors also tend to look at a number of traditional, tried-and-true figures to help them find stocks that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.

Our Value category highlights undervalued companies by looking at a variety of key metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, as well as the P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that have been used by value investors for years.

PSMMY currently has a forward P/E ratio of 10.21, while NVR has a forward P/E of 16.99. We also note that PSMMY has a PEG ratio of 1.36. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. NVR currently has a PEG ratio of 4.69.

Another notable valuation metric for PSMMY is its P/B ratio of 0.94. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, NVR has a P/B of 5.07.

These metrics, and several others, help PSMMY earn a Value grade of A, while NVR has been given a Value grade of C.

PSMMY is currently sporting an improving earnings outlook, which makes it stick out in our Zacks Rank model. And, based on the above valuation metrics, we feel that PSMMY is likely the superior value option right now.

Semtech (SMTC) Is Up 10.39% in One Week: What You Should Know
SMTC Semtech
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Momentum investing is all about the idea of following a stock's recent trend, which can be in either direction. In the "long context," investors will essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." And for investors following this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving in that direction. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.

While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.

Below, we take a look at Semtech (SMTC - Free Report) , which currently has a Momentum Style Score of A. We also discuss some of the main drivers of the Momentum Style Score, like price change and earnings estimate revisions.

It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Semtech currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.

You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>>

Set to Beat the Market?Let's discuss some of the components of the Momentum Style Score for SMTC that show why this chipmaker shows promise as a solid momentum pick.

A good momentum benchmark for a stock is to look at its short-term price activity, as this can reflect both current interest and if buyers or sellers currently have the upper hand. It's also helpful to compare a security to its industry; this can show investors the best companies in a particular area.

For SMTC, shares are up 10.39% over the past week while the Zacks Semiconductor - Analog and Mixed industry is up 4.23% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 21.12% compares favorably with the industry's 1.62% performance as well.

While any stock can see its price increase, it takes a real winner to consistently beat the market. That is why looking at longer term price metrics -- such as performance over the past three months or year -- can be useful as well. Shares of Semtech have increased 126.51% over the past quarter, and have gained 325.93% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 11.66% and 24.19%, respectively.

Investors should also take note of SMTC's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. Right now SMTC is averaging 3,731,887 shares for the last 20 days..

Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock's price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with SMTC.

Over the past two months, 6 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost SMTC's consensus estimate, increasing from $2.19 to $2.66 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 6 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.

Bottom LineTaking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that SMTC is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of A. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Semtech on your short list.

Banc of California (BANC - Free Report) is headquartered in Los Angeles, and is in the Finance sector. The stock has seen a price change of 4.56% since the start of the year. Currently paying a dividend of $0.12 per share, the company has a dividend yield of 2.38%. In comparison, the Banks - Southwest industry's yield is 1.64%, while the S&P 500's yield is 1.41%.

Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $0.48 is up 20% from last year.

During periods of rising interest rates, income investors must be mindful that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle. With that in mind, BANC is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It's also helpful to compare a security to its industry; this can show investors the best companies in a particular area.

For DHC, shares are up 5.86% over the past week while the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust - Other industry is up 2.67% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 8.01% compares favorably with the industry's 4.75% performance as well.

Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Shares of Diversified Healthcare have increased 34.58% over the past quarter, and have gained 159.48% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 11.66% and 24.19%, respectively.

Investors should also pay attention to DHC's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. DHC is currently averaging 1,874,424 shares for the last 20 days.

Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with DHC.

Over the past two months, 1 earnings estimate moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. This revision helped boost DHC's consensus estimate, increasing from $0.57 to $0.60 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 1 estimate has moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.

Bottom LineTaking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that DHC is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of A. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Diversified Healthcare on your short list.

Why Rigetti Computing Stock Keeps Going Up
QBTS D-Wave Quantum
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Rigetti Computing (RGTI +9.89%) stock jumped 8.2% through 11 a.m. ET Monday, its third straight day of gains. Believe it or not, you can thank a Rigetti rival, D-Wave Quantum (QBTS +14.68%) for that.

More precisely, you can thank the banker who just praised D-Wave.

Image source: Getty Images.

Mizuho loves D-Wave Quantum stock Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh raised his price target on D-Wave to $35 per share. Rakesh praised D-Wave's plan to build a gate-based quantum computer with 10 logical qubits (LQ) by 2030, then scale to 100 LQ by 2032, while improving error rates. He also liked D-Wave's prediction that quantum could grow into a $450 billion to $850 billion market by 2040, and declared D-Wave a leader in this market.

Rakesh, however, said nothing about Rigetti Computing.

Worse, roughly one month ago, Rakesh lowered his price target on Rigetti stock to $27 per share, with StreetInsider.com reporting that, while the analyst was impressed with Rigetti's faster-than-expected sales growth, he was less confident about the stock's valuation.

Is Rigetti stock better or worse than D-Wave stock? When investing in quantum computing stocks, it's important not to get too caught up in the excitement of analyst upgrades and downgrades, price target hikes, and cuts. Wall Street is tracking a moving target in this industry, and at this early stage, it's incredibly hard to know who the winners will be.

Big picture, the thing to always keep in mind is this: No one on Wall Street expects either Rigetti or D-Wave stock to turn a profit as far out as any analysts are willing to make predictions. Whether they ultimately succeed or fail, both these companies will lose money for at least the next five years.

Check your risk tolerance before investing, and be prepared to be very, very patient.

Why D-Wave Quantum Shares Are Soaring Today
QBTS D-Wave Quantum
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Starting the shortened trading week on a bullish note, D-Wave Quantum (QBTS +14.68%) stock raced out of the gate this morning. With an analyst providing an auspicious outlook, investors are now running to pick up shares of the quantum computing stock.

As of 12:20 p.m. ET, shares of D-Wave Quantum are up 13.6%.

Image source: Getty Images.

An industry leader with a stock that has room to run Maintaining an outperform rating, Vijay Rakesh, a Mizuho analyst, upwardly revised the price target on D-Wave Quantum stock to $35 from $29. The action echoes those of analysts who similarly raised their price targets on D-Wave Quantum stock two weeks ago. Roth Capital boosted its price target to $40 from $30, and B. Riley lifted its price target to $40 from $36.

Based on D-Wave Quantum's stock closing price of $23.37 on Friday, Rakesh's price target implies upside of more than 20%.

According to Thefly.com, Rakesh grounded his outlook in the recognition that the company has extended its gate-model roadmap, aiming to reach 10 logical qubits by 2030, steadily scaling to a 100-logical-qubit system that can successfully perform more than 1 million operations by 2032.

Is now the time to take a quantum leap in your tech exposure with D-Wave Quantum stock? While the consensus among analysts is that D-Wave Quantum stock has room to run, those seeking quantum computing stock exposure should weigh the company's achievements more heavily than analysts' opinions. Instead of simply clicking the buy button because analysts are bullish, potential investors should look for green flags from the company that make its 2030 and 2032 targets seem achievable.

Should the company succeed in attaining its goal of delivering a 17-physical-qubit system that supports logical error rates 2 times lower than physical error rates, investors will have more material cause to buy D-Wave Quantum stock.

Down Around 70% From Its High, Is Now the Time to Buy Oklo Stock?
OKLO Oklo
FMP Stock News
Original source text
As tech companies invest in artificial intelligence (AI), many investors have been targeting stocks that are involved with energy. These types of stocks may benefit from the rising energy needs that come with building data centers and, thus, can potentially lead to significant long-term returns.

Oklo (OKLO +4.89%) is a prime example of that. Despite generating no revenue today, there's the hope that in the future it'll be a key energy company, with its small power plants providing data centers with energy around the clock, in a safe and efficient manner.

The stock has fallen 20% this year as investors may have been put off by its high valuation. But with it being down around 70% from its 52-week high of $193.84, could it be a great time to invest in Oklo right now?

Image source: Getty Images.

There are big opportunities for Oklo to tap into According to analysts from MarketsandMarkets, the global data center power market could be worth $50.5 billion by the end of the decade. That translates into a compounded annual growth rate of 7.5% and highlights the ongoing opportunities stemming from data center growth.

If Oklo's powerhouses prove effective and help address the need for more reliable energy, the business could thrive, generate significant revenue, and potentially have a path to profitability. In the trailing 12 months, the company has incurred net losses totaling $129 million as it has been incurring expenses but has generated no revenue, and it could be multiple years before it generates meaningful top-line numbers.

Oklo's stock may be down, but it's not cheap when you consider the risks Although Oklo's stock is down significantly from its high, that doesn't mean that it's become a good buy today. It's less expensive than it was at its peak, but that simply means its valuation isn't as outlandish as it was back then; by no means is the stock a bargain buy right now.

Power plants take time to build and can be incredibly costly. While Oklo has some exciting long-term opportunities, its margins may remain tight, making it difficult for the company to hit breakeven anytime soon. That's just one risk to consider. Another is whether demand for data centers could slow down, especially as AI becomes more efficient. Expectations are high today, but that could change in the future.

Given all the risks and uncertainty around Oklo's business, the stock is by no means a bargain. It may be a better idea to put the stock on a watch list and hold off on buying it, at least until there's a clearer indication of how strong its financials might be as it scales its operations, as that can help investors get a better idea of how long it may be until it's able to turn a profit. Until then, this will remain a highly risky and speculative energy stock to own.

Original source text
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In POET Technologies To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in POET Technologies between April 1, 2026 and 08:57 AM EST on April 27, 2026 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

[You may also click here for additional information]

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 15, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against POET Technologies, Inc. ("POET Technologies" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: POET) and reminds investors of the June 29, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Watch our latest video highlighting the key allegations: https://youtu.be/zdxRFbToG4A

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) POET Technologies misrepresented its tax status due to it likely being deemed a passive foreign investment company (or "PFIC") under U.S. tax laws which, if not properly reported by each U.S. stockholder, would have negative tax implications for those U.S. stockholders; (2) the foregoing tax issue would, if discovered, make POET Technologies a less attractive investment than it would otherwise be, thus threatening POET Technologies' valuation; (3) Defendant Thomas Mika, despite affirming that he was not violating a non-disclosure agreement, in fact violated a business agreement by speaking about POET Technologies' business agreements in a public interview, thus endangering POET Technologies' business prospects, and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about POET Technologies' business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

On April 27, 2026, Investing.com published an article entitled "POET Technologies stock tumbles after losing Marvell orders." The article stated that POET Technologies stock fell "after the company disclosed the cancellation of all purchase orders from Celestial AI, now owned by Marvell Semiconductor Inc. Marvell provided written notice on April 23, 2026, canceling all purchase orders, including those for initial production units first announced by POET Technologies in a press release on April 25, 2023. Marvell cited the company's disclosures of information related to the purchase orders and shipping details as violations of confidentiality obligations."

Following this news, POET Technologies' stock dropped more than 45% during intraday trading on April 27, 2026.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding POET Technologies' conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

To learn more about the POET Technologies class action, go to www.faruqilaw.com/POET or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

What is the POET Technologies securities fraud lawsuit about?

The POET Technologies securities fraud lawsuit is a federal securities class action alleging that POET Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: POET) and its executives made false and misleading statements to investors by misrepresenting the Company's tax status - concealing that it likely qualified as a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) under U.S. tax law, which carries negative tax implications for U.S. stockholders - and by having a Company executive publicly discuss confidential business agreements in violation of a business agreement with a key customer. As the truth emerged on April 27, 2026, when it was reported that Marvell Semiconductor had canceled all purchase orders from POET Technologies, citing the Company's unauthorized disclosures of confidential order and shipping details as violations of its confidentiality obligations, POET's stock dropped more than 45% during intraday trading, causing significant losses for investors.

POET Technologies Stock Is Surging Monday: What Investors Need To Know
POET POET Technologies
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Here’s what investors need to know.

POET Technologies shares are climbing with conviction. What’s fueling POET momentum? Why Macroeconomic Shifts Directly Impact POET TechnologiesThe market-wide surge follows a peace agreement between the United States and Iran, which reopens the crucial Strait of Hormuz. The deal sent crude oil prices plunging 5% to a two-month low, significantly easing global inflation anxieties. Concurrently, U.S. Treasury yields declined, creating an ideal backdrop for growth-oriented tech equities.

As a developer of advanced optical interposers and networking solutions for AI data centers, POET is highly sensitive to macroeconomic shifts. Lower yields and cooling inflation directly benefit high-growth companies by improving long-term valuation metrics.

Furthermore, with the Nasdaq-100 jumping over 3% and chip names leading Monday’s top gainers, POET is benefiting from a “rising tide lifts all boats” phenomenon. Investors are rotating back into AI infrastructure components on Monday as geopolitical risk premiums unwind, driving POET higher.

Critical Price Levels To Watch For POETFrom a trend perspective, POET is still in clear "uptrend mode": it's trading 8.7% above its 20-day SMA ($13.39) and 96.4% above its 200-day SMA ($7.41), which tells you buyers have controlled the intermediate and long-term tape. The golden cross in April (50-day SMA above the 200-day SMA) reinforces that the bigger-picture trend flipped bullish and has stayed that way.

Momentum is best read through RSI right now, because it's describing whether the move is getting stretched or simply resetting. RSI is 50.77 (neutral), which suggests the stock has room to push without immediately flashing an "overheated" signal; RSI measures how extended recent buying or selling pressure is versus the stock's own recent history.

The chart is also working through key reference points from the last few months: after the recent swing high in May and swing low in March, price is back pressing toward the upper part of its 52-week range ($3.87 to $20.81). That keeps the focus on whether buyers can keep defending pullbacks above rising moving averages, rather than giving back the trend.

Key Resistance: $15.50 — a nearby pivot/round-number area where upside attempts can stall if momentum cools Key Support: $11.50 — a prior buyer-defense zone that also sits closer to the stock's rising intermediate trend structure POET Stock Price Movement on MondayPOET Stock Price Activity: POET Technologies shares were up 15.80% at $14.51 at the time of publication on Monday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Ondas Holdings remains a risk-aware Buy as revenue targets and backlog have surged, while valuation multiples have compressed significantly since February. ONDS's 2026 revenue target has jumped to ~$390m, backlog is ~$457m, and gross margins are holding near 50% despite rapid scaling and integration. Share dilution concerns are mitigated by revenue growth outpacing issuance; consensus revenue estimates for 2027 and 2028 are increasingly credible.

TeraWulf Stock Is On The Rise: What's Going On Today?
WULF TeraWulf
FMP Stock News
Original source text
TeraWulf stock is at critical resistance. What’s behind WULF new highs? BofA Initiates Coverage With Buy RatingBofA Securities analyst Michael Funk started coverage of TeraWulf with a Buy rating and set a $34 price objective. The target is built on a 9.5x EV-to-revenue multiple applied to Funk’s 2028 revenue forecast, a multiple the analyst said sits in line with peers and reflects a balance between the company’s growth potential and the risks tied to financing and development.

Funk’s bullish view is rooted in TeraWulf’s pivot away from bitcoin mining toward high-performance computing infrastructure built for AI workloads under long-term contracted leases.

The analyst projects the company’s capacity pipeline will grow from 60 megawatts to over 1 gigawatt while revenue climbs from $226 million in 2026 to $1.06 billion in 2027 and $1.8 billion in 2028. Net operating margins are forecast to reach around 85% as adjusted EBITDA jumps from $63 million in 2026 to $686 million in 2027 and $1.25 billion in 2028.

Site Portfolio And Upcoming MilestonesAccording to the note, TeraWulf’s contracted capacity totaled 522 megawatts in the first quarter of 2026 across its Lake Mariner site in New York and the Abernathy joint venture in Texas. Funk flagged the completion of Lake Mariner buildouts by year end 2026 and a customer announcement for the Justified Data project in Kentucky as near term catalysts with that site expected online in the second half of 2027.

The analyst also referenced TeraWulf’s newly added Muskie Data site in eastern Kentucky which is expected to bring 500 megawatts online in the second half of 2028 with another 500 megawatts following by 2030.

Fluidstack Leases And Power StrategyFunk highlighted TeraWulf’s lease agreements with Fluidstack which carry credit support from Google as a major factor strengthening the reliability of its revenue base. The analyst said robust AI demand combined with limited power availability across markets plays to TeraWulf’s strategy of choosing sites with existing high voltage transmission access which gives it a more predictable path to securing power.

Key Risks And OpportunitiesFunk identified financing access along with construction delays and tenant timing as the biggest risks to the thesis with labor shortages supply chain issues and local opposition as secondary concerns. He estimated that a slowdown of 10% to 20% in megawatt delivery would lower 2028 revenue by about 6% to 12% and reduce adjusted EBITDA by as much as 12.3%.

On the upside, Funk pointed to accelerating AI infrastructure demand and the potential for TeraWulf to secure better contract terms such as longer lease durations higher rate escalators and credit backstops as it builds a stronger track record with major customers.

WULF Shares Are JumpingWULF Price Action: TeraWulf shares were up 7.83% at $28.10 at the time of publication on Monday. The stock is trading at a new 52-week high, according to Benzinga Pro.

3 Reasons Growth Investors Will Love Seagate (STX)
STX.US Seagate Technology Holdings
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Growth stocks are attractive to many investors, as above-average financial growth helps these stocks easily grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a growth stock that can live up to its true potential can be a tough task.

That's because, these stocks usually carry above-average risk and volatility. In fact, betting on a stock for which the growth story is actually over or nearing its end could lead to significant loss.

However, the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects, makes it pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks.

Seagate (STX - Free Report) is on the list of such stocks currently recommended by our proprietary system. In addition to a favorable Growth Score, it carries a top Zacks Rank.

Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better.

While there are numerous reasons why the stock of this electronic storage maker is a great growth pick right now, we have highlighted three of the most important factors below:

Earnings GrowthEarnings growth is arguably the most important factor, as stocks exhibiting exceptionally surging profit levels tend to attract the attention of most investors. And for growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is definitely preferable, and often an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.

While the historical EPS growth rate for Seagate is 2.6%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 84.3% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 73%.

Impressive Asset Utilization RatioGrowth investors often overlook asset utilization ratio, also known as sales-to-total-assets (S/TA) ratio, but it is an important feature of a real growth stock. This metric exhibits how efficiently a firm is utilizing its assets to generate sales.

Right now, Seagate has an S/TA ratio of 1.29, which means that the company gets $1.29 in sales for each dollar in assets. Comparing this to the industry average of 0.68, it can be said that the company is more efficient.

In addition to efficiency in generating sales, sales growth plays an important role. And Seagate is well positioned from a sales growth perspective too. The company's sales are expected to grow 32.5% this year versus the industry average of 22.3%.

Promising Earnings Estimate RevisionsSuperiority of a stock in terms of the metrics outlined above can be further validated by looking at the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is of course favorable here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

There have been upward revisions in current-year earnings estimates for Seagate. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 0.3% over the past month.

Bottom LineSeagate has not only earned a Growth Score of A based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above, but it also carries a Zacks Rank #1 because of the positive earnings estimate revisions.

You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

This combination indicates that Seagate is a potential outperformer and a solid choice for growth investors.

Astronics: On The Cusp Of A Production And Upgradation Upcycle
ATRO Astronics
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Astronics benefits from record backlog, rising bookings, and a broad aircraft production and retrofit upcycle across Boeing, Airbus, and global airlines. Growth in in-flight entertainment and connectivity and premium seat motion systems is accelerating, supported by shorter technology cycles and Astronics' strong market position with airlines and OEM partners. Higher production volumes should drive operating leverage, supporting a path toward high-teens adjusted EBIT margins as the mix improves toward higher-margin Aerospace systems.

PPIH Stock Falls 19% as Q1 Earnings Down Y/Y on High Operating Costs
PPIH Perma-Pipe International Holdings
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Shares of Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. (PPIH - Free Report) have declined 18.9% since the company reported its earnings for the quarter ended April 30, 2026, significantly underperforming the S&P 500 index, which has gained 0.2% over the same period. Over the past month, the stock has fallen 18.7%, compared with a 0.3% decline for the broader market index, reflecting a notably weaker performance relative to the benchmark.

Perma-Pipe reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings per share of 22 cents, which dropped from 61 cents in the prior-year quarter.

Net sales of $50.3 million indicated a 7.5% rise from $46.7 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by higher sales volumes in North America and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. 

However, profitability declined sharply. Net income attributable to common stock fell to $1.8 million from $5 million a year earlier, a decrease of about 63.6%. Income before taxes declined to $3.9 million from $7.4 million. Gross profit decreased 12.5% to $14.6 million despite the higher revenue base.

Other Key Business MetricsThe company’s backlog reached $136.5 million as of April 30, 2026, representing an increase of approximately 12% from $121.6 million at Jan. 31, 2026. Management highlighted that recently awarded AI-driven data center projects in North America contributed significantly to the increase. The company also reported strong bidding activity across infrastructure, energy, industrial, water-related and data center markets.

On the balance-sheet front, total assets increased to $221.6 million from $217.5 million at the end of fiscal 2025. Stockholders’ equity rose to $92.2 million from $90.6 million, while total liabilities edged up to $112.9 million from $111.2 million.

Management CommentaryPresident and chief executive officer Saleh Sagr said first-quarter results were affected by geopolitical developments in the Middle East that delayed the execution of certain projects, impacting the timing of revenue recognition and profitability in the MENA region. He emphasized that no projects had been canceled and that customer demand remained strong.

Sagr also pointed to emerging growth opportunities in the region, including investments in alternative oil and gas export infrastructure aimed at reducing reliance on the Strait of Hormuz and increased focus on long-term water security initiatives. He said continued expansion of AI and cloud computing infrastructure is expected to support future demand for the company’s products and services.

Factors Influencing Quarterly ResultsWhile revenue increased, several factors weighed on margins and earnings. Gross profit declined primarily because of project and product mix across different jurisdictions, particularly seasonal factors affecting Canada. The company also incurred start-up and ramp-up costs related to its new manufacturing facilities in Ohio and Qatar.

Operating expenses increased as well. Total operating expenses rose to $10 million from $8.8 million a year ago. General and administrative expenses increased due to higher professional fees associated with the company’s transition to accelerated filer status and ongoing Sarbanes-Oxley compliance initiatives. Net interest expense rose to $0.6 million from $0.4 million, reflecting incremental borrowings during the quarter. Additionally, the effective tax rate increased to 34% from 21%, driven by the geographic mix of earnings across tax jurisdictions.

Guidance and OutlookDespite the softer earnings performance, management maintained a positive outlook for fiscal 2026. The company said it continues to anticipate both revenue growth and net income growth for the full fiscal year compared with fiscal 2025. Management expects project execution in the MENA region to normalize over the coming quarters and believes its growing backlog, healthy project pipeline and expanding manufacturing footprint will support improved financial performance.

Other DevelopmentsDuring the quarter, Perma-Pipe continued expanding its manufacturing capabilities. Management highlighted the commissioning and ramp-up of its new Ohio facility as a significant milestone that strengthens the company’s North American presence and positions it for future growth. The company also announced plans to begin quarterly earnings conference calls starting with the second quarter of fiscal 2026 to enhance transparency and engagement with investors.

After SpaceX's Nearly $2 Trillion IPO, Is Bezos's Blue Origin Still In The Space Race?
SPCX SpaceX
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Elon Musk’s SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) on Friday pulled off the biggest IPO in history, pricing near $1.78 trillion, then jumping about 19% on debut to close above $2 trillion.

Weeks earlier, rival Blue Origin watched a rocket explode on the pad in a fireball compared to a nuclear blast.

The timing stung, because the Jeff Bezos-backed Blue Origin had been closing the gap between the two space companies.

A week before the blast, Bezos told CNBC the company was finally ready to take on outside investors, a sign it was gaining ground.

How An Explosion Moved The OddsOn May 28, a New Glenn rocket exploded on the pad during a ground test of its engines. The blast destroyed the rocket and badly damaged Blue Origin’s only launch site able to fly New Glenn, the vehicle meant to lift its Blue Moon lunar lander.

On Kalshi, the odds of Blue Origin reaching the moon before SpaceX fell to 45%, from above 69% before the explosion.

“We will fly again before the end of this year,” Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp said, but some employees told the Financial Times they doubt it.

Musk has shifted SpaceX’s focus to building a base on the moon rather than reaching Mars, its original goal.

The Capital Gap SpaceX has two cash engines Blue Origin lacks: Starlink’s billions in profit and its record IPO, which raised $75 billion. Bezos still funds his rocket company by selling Amazon stock.

Part of SpaceX’s lofty valuation comes from AI, not just rockets. The newly public company acquired xAI and plans to operate data centers in orbit.

SpaceX entered its second trading day Monday up roughly 6% above $170, already past two of three early analyst targets.

Direxion Debuts Daily SpaceX Bull 2X ETF
SPCX SpaceX
FMP Stock News
Original source text
On June 15, Direxion expanded its leveraged single-stock ETF lineup with the introduction of the Direxion Daily SpaceX Bull 2X ETF (LOFF). The fund has an expense ratio of 97 basis points. It aims to generate daily investment results double the performance of SpaceX (SPCX). LOFF debuted just one business day after the company’s IPO last Friday. It extends Direxion’s position as the largest single-stock ETF issuer in the U.S.

“Direxion has been managing leveraged ETFs and mutual funds for decades, and this wealth of experience and best-in-class risk management has allowed for our team to move as quickly as we have,” said Mo Sparks, Direxion’s Chief Product Officer. “Our goal is to provide traders the tactical tools they need, and as the SpaceX IPO has captured the market’s full attention, it is an important part of our offering to provide a leveraged solution as quickly as we felt reasonably possible.”

“As the global leader in single stock ETFs, we have portfolio managers who have navigated volatility throughout their careers. This, combined with our risk management processes, enables our team to launch into what likely will be a volatile market. Volatility comes with the territory at Direxion. It’s one of the leaders of the leveraged and inverse ETF market,” Sparks added. 

The Business Behind the Bet SpaceX develops and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft. However, the company’s primary driver of revenue historically has come from its Starlink satellites. These satellites accounted for $11.4 billion of revenue in 2025. Despite the AI business recording a net loss prior to IPO, the company is expected to transform its xAI and its AI assistant, Grok, into a paramount $1.75 trillion driver of business. The company already exhibits opulent spending. Analysis from Neuberger expects its capital expenditures to reach $300 billion by 2030.

The fund caters to short-term investors with a high risk tolerance. Distinct from broadly diversified ETFs, LOFF tracks the price of a single stock rather than an index. This eliminates the diversification benefits seen in other products. 

“Direxion is the largest leveraged single stock ETF issuer in the world and has been managing these strategies as long as they have been permitted in the US,” Sparks noted. “This scale and experience should give traders the comfort they need to feel confident that LOFF will provide the exposure they are looking to trade as soon as it comes to market.”

LOFF joins a rapidly expanding portfolio of single-stock leveraged ETFs, building on the firm’s momentum from Q1 2026 releases such as ADBU, PYPU, TXNU, and UNHU. Direxion continues to cement its role providing investment vehicles to traders seeking tactical, specialized exposure in an evolving market.

Stock Market Today, June 15: SpaceX Surges at Midday After Blockbuster IPO
SPCX SpaceX
FMP Stock News
Original source text
As of midday, the S&P 500 (^GSPC +1.78%) rose 1.91% to 7,573.19, the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +2.99%) jumped 3.00% to 26,666.03, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI +1.17%) gained 1.41% to 51,922.03 as tumbling oil and a U.S.–Iran peace framework fueled a broad risk‑on rally.

Market moversSpaceX extended its blockbuster IPO gains this morning. Semiconductor names, including Micron Technology and Western Digital, advanced on AI optimism and risk appetite. In contrast, Fox tumbled on Roku acquisition plans despite the strong tape.

What this means for investorsNews that the U.S. and Iran have agreed on a framework for peace lifted major U.S. indexes this morning. The deal, set to be signed on Friday, includes plans to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and allow oil tanker transit to resume. Oil fell to its lowest level in three months, with WTI crude oil trading around $80 per barrel at midday.

Energy stocks lagged while artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductor, and travel stocks gained, as investors shifted to growth stocks. The record-breaking SpaceX IPO reinforced bullish sentiment after the stock reached a valuation of over $2 trillion on its first day of trading.

After faltering last week, stocks seem to be rallying toward record highs once again. However, sky-high valuations and other warning signs mean some analysts remain cautious. For example, the tone of this week’s Federal Reserve meeting will be key after the 30-year Treasury yield hit a 19-year high last month. Rising bond yields have historically preceded interest rate increases and steep stock market losses.

Emma Newbery has positions in Roku. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Micron Technology, Roku, and Western Digital. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.
