Market Signal Briefing

Curtiss-Wright (CW - Free Report) reported $946.98 million in revenue for the quarter ended December 2025, representing a year-over-year increase of 14.9%. EPS of $3.79 for the same period compares to $3.27 a year ago.

The reported revenue represents a surprise of +6.38% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $890.2 million. With the consensus EPS estimate being $3.66, the EPS surprise was +3.49%.

While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.

As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately.

Here is how Curtiss-Wright performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:

Adjusted Sales- Aerospace & Industrial: $262.39 million compared to the $261.86 million average estimate based on four analysts.

Crane NXT (CXT - Free Report) reported $476.9 million in revenue for the quarter ended December 2025, representing a year-over-year increase of 19.5%. EPS of $1.27 for the same period compares to $1.20 a year ago.

While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.

Like most meme-based cryptocurrencies on the market right now, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has been in a prolonged decline since last year, as its price continues to struggle amid broader market uncertainty and extreme investor fear. Despite the ongoing underperformance, a Shiba Inu developer has urged investors to look beyond price movements, revealing the project’s main focus moving forward. 

Shiba Inu Dev Outlines Project Focus Amid Market Slump Pseudonymous Shiba Inu lead developer Shytoshi Kusama shared a YouTube video this week, discussing both the meme coin’s recent price performance and developments within the ecosystem. He emphasized that short-term price dips should not dictate the project’s direction or strategy. 

Related Reading: Why Is The Shiba Inu Price Crashing? The Billion-Dollar Move You Should Know About

Instead, Kusama stressed that the primary focus remains on building a robust, decentralized ecosystem that can withstand market volatility and temporary price swings. This includes ongoing efforts in technological development, community engagement, and innovative projects that strengthen the SHIB network. 

The developer’s statements come as Shiba Inu has struggled through 2025 and into early 2026, showing significant price weakness and prolonged selling pressure. The meme coin has been trading at historically low levels compared to earlier cycles, making it hard to sustain proper gains even during bullish periods for the broader crypto market. 

In 2025, the SHIB price registered losses in the majority of the months, making it one of the toughest years for the dog-themed meme coin. During this time, price declines continued as trading volume thinned and market volatility weakened, leading investors to lose interest. By late 2025, Shiba Inu had dropped roughly 60-70% from the start of the year, according to data from CryptoRank. 

Fast forward to 2026, and Shiba Inu remains under pressure, trading sideways. The meme coin is showing a lack of bullish conviction, especially as the broader market decline influences investors’ sentiment and behavior. SHIB’s Fear and Greed index data also shows that the meme coin has entered the fear zone, underscoring investors’ uncertainty and weakened confidence in its price. 

A breakdown of the data reveals social sentiment and search volume have fallen into “extreme fear.” This indicates that traders and investors are highly cautious, with fewer people actively discussing or searching for SHIB online.

Analysts Remain Optimistic About SHIB Price Recovery Market analyst Crypto GVR has projected that the Shiba Inu price could soon begin a reversal to higher levels. According to the expert, SHIB is preparing for a rebound to $0.000005-$0.0000061. Once the meme coin breaks through this region, the analyst expects it to continue its upward surge and hit $0.00002-$0.00003 in the long term.

Notably, for Shiba Inu to reach the first target region, the cryptocurrency will have to recover from its current price slump. At the time of writing, the meme coin is trading around $0.0000058, reflecting a more than 2% decline over the past 24 hours and 64% crash throughout this year.

Good news for Danes: after eight years, Danske Bank has ended its restrictions on digital assets by allowing its clients to invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs. Kerstin Lysholm, the head of investment products at the entity, confirmed that the decision was driven by the growing demand from users seeking to diversify their portfolios through regulated instruments on the bank’s mobile and electronic platforms.

This unlocking comes after years of a deeply negative stance, now motivated by the implementation of the MiCA regulation in the European Union. The institution considers that the crypto ecosystem has matured and offers greater investor protection, although it clarifies that this measure does not constitute an official recommendation. The bank continues to classify cryptocurrencies as high-risk opportunistic investments, limiting access only to clients who pass technical suitability tests.

Moving forward, other Nordic banks are expected to replicate this move under the European regulatory framework to capture the flow of institutional capital. For now, Danske Bank will maintain strict monitoring over the volatility of these products, ensuring that access is transparent but without offering personalized advisory services.

When you feed China’s strange new KIMI AI with a carefully engineered prompt, you can get the model to reveal some eye-catching price predictions for XRP, Dogecoin, and Solana this year.

According to Alibaba’s projections, all three assets could print new all-time highs (ATHs) within the next eleven months.

Below, we break down how these bullish forecasts are supported by chart data, fundamentals, and the news cycle.

XRP ($XRP): KIMI Outlines a Long-Term Path Toward $8In a recent update, Ripple reaffirmed that XRP ($XRP) remains a core component of its strategy to position the XRP Ledger as an institutional-grade global payments network.

Source: KIMIWidely recognized for rapid settlement speeds and ultra-low fees, XRPL is also a leading platform for two of crypto’s most promising sectors: stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization.

With XRP currently trading around $1.38, KIMI estimates the token could surge to $8 by the end of 2026, representing a sixfold increase.

Technical indicators appear to support the thesis. XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has begun rising from sub-30, suggesting renewed accumulation after recent heavy selling.

Fresh institutional demand driven by recently approved U.S.-listed XRP exchange-traded funds, alongside Ripple’s expanding enterprise partnerships and the potential passage of the U.S. CLARITY bill this year are XRP’s key catalysts.

Dogecoin (DOGE): Alibaba AI Sees Major Upside, But a New ATH Remains UncertainWhat began as a satirical experiment in 2013 has evolved into a $15 billion market cap coin. Dogecoin ($DOGE) now represents half of the $32 billion meme coin market.

Source: KIMIDogecoin last reached its all-time high of $0.7316 during the retail-driven bull run of 2021.

While the long-discussed $1 target remains a symbolic goal for the Dogecoin community, KIMI AI projects DOGE could hit it this year.

From its current price near $0.09, that would equate to gains of more than 1,000%, or roughly 11x.

Adoption continues apace: Tesla accepts DOGE for select merchandise, while PayPal and Revolut have integrated Dogecoin support.

Solana (SOL): KIMI Forecasts a Move Toward $400The Solana ($SOL) ecosystem now secures roughly $6.4 billion in total value locked (TVL) and maintains a market capitalization close to $50 billion. Rising on-chain activity, developer participation, and daily users have spurred its growth.

Source: KIMIThe recent launch of Solana-linked exchange-traded funds by Bitwise and Grayscale is also attracting institutional investment.

However, after experiencing a prolonged correction in late 2025, SOL has spent most of February trading below $100.

Under KIMI’s most optimistic scenario, Solana could rally to $400 by 2027. That move would deliver nearly 5x returns for current holders and decisively surpass SOL’s previous ATH of $293, set January 2025.

Furthermore, Solana’s prospects look great. Firms such as Franklin Templeton and BlackRock are issuing tokenized real world assets on the network, giving it a strong use case that could increase exponentially.

Maxi Doge: Roll Over, Dogecoin! Maxi’s the New Alpha in MemesvilleFinally, investors seeking classic high-risk, high-reward crypto exposure should look beyond the big projects towards emerging meme coins.

Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is one of the most talked-about meme coin presales of 2026, raising $4.6 million so far in its ongoing presale.

The project stars the brash, gym-obsessed, degen Maxi Doge, a distant envious cousin to Dogecoin, and one that channels the irreverent humor that originally propelled meme coins into the spotlight.

MAXI is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum’s proof-of-stake network, offering a significantly smaller environmental footprint compared to Dogecoin’s proof-of-work consensus model.

Early presale participants can currently stake MAXI tokens to earn yields of up to 68% APY, with rewards gradually tapering as the staking pool expands.

The token is $0.0002803 in the current presale phase, with automatic price increases triggered at each funding milestone. Purchases are supported via MetaMask and Best Wallet.

Memesville is entering a new era — and Maxi Doge’s the new alpha!

Berachain Jumps 150% as Strategic Pivot Lifts BERA Prefer us on Google

BERA surged nearly 40% after Berachain unveiled its “Bera Builds Businesses” revenue-focused strategy.A major investor refund clause expired on Feb. 6, removing a $25 million overhang and easing market fears.A large token unlock passed without heavy selling, triggering a relief rally and short squeeze.Berachain’s native token, BERA, surged over 150% on February 11, marking its sharpest single-day gain in months. The rally follows weeks of renewed activity after the project spent much of 2025 under pressure from falling prices, token unlock concerns, and investor uncertainty.

The immediate catalyst appears to be the foundation’s strategic shift toward a new model called “Bera Builds Businesses.”

Berachain’s Refund Fears to Revenue Ambitions: What Changed?Announced in January, the initiative aims to back three to five revenue-generating applications designed to create sustainable demand for BERA. 

Instead of relying on heavy token incentives, the network now plans to focus on projects capable of producing real cash flow.

That pivot changed the narrative.

Throughout 2025, Berachain struggled as TVL (total value locked) collapsed from early highs, and the token fell more than 90% from its peak. Critics questioned whether its incentive-heavy growth model could survive a prolonged market downturn.

However, another major overhang also disappeared this month.

A controversial refund clause tied to Brevan Howard’s Nova Digital fund expired on February 6, 2026. The clause reportedly allowed the investor to request a $25 million refund if performance conditions were not met.

With the deadline passing, traders appear to view the removal of that risk as structurally positive.

Berachain Price Chart. Source: CoinGeckoAt the same time, a large token unlock event also cleared without triggering heavy selling. That outcome fueled what analysts describe as a “relief rally.”

On-chain and derivatives data show rising trading volume and increasing open interest. 

Liquidation heatmaps indicate clustered short positions above key resistance levels, suggesting that short covering may have amplified upward momentum.

Still, risks remain.

Berachain faces continued token distribution pressure and must prove that its business-focused strategy can generate sustained demand. 

For now, however, the market appears to be rewarding clarity and the removal of uncertainty after a long period of silence.

TL;DR

Bitcoin drops to $67,500 after a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report. March rate cut probability collapses from 27% to 8% in one month. Gold climbs 1.3% as appetite for buying Bitcoin fades. Bitcoin fell to around $67,500 on Wednesday, down 2% over 24 hours, after a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report reduced the likelihood the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates in March. Altcoins registered steeper losses, with Ethereum dropping 3% to $1,950 and Solana sliding 3.4% to $80 over the same period.

The U.S. Department of Labor reported employers added 130,000 jobs in January, nearly double economists’ expectations of 70,000 jobs, according to Trading Economics. The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.3%, slightly below the anticipated 4.4%. The data signals labor market strength, which reduces pressure on the Fed to stimulate the economy through lower borrowing costs.

Last week, Bitcoin plunged as low as $62,800 before recovering partially to $71,500 on Sunday. The drop marked Bitcoin’s lowest price point in 14 months. The rebound proved short-lived once the employment numbers landed.

After closing 2024 with three consecutive rate cuts, Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled earlier this month the central bank would maintain a data-dependent approach in considering future adjustments to its benchmark rate, currently set at a target range of 3.50% to 3.75%. The strong jobs report gives the Fed little reason to move rates lower in the near term.

Trader Expectations Collapse as Rate Cut Probability Drops From 27% to 8% in One Month On Wednesday, traders placed just an 8% chance the Fed would cut interest rates by a quarter percentage point in March, according to CME FedWatch. The figure marked a sharp decline from 20% the day before and 27% a month earlier. Most traders no longer expect a March cut at all.

Jasper De Maere, a desk strategist and OTC trader at crypto market maker Wintermute, noted bond markets signal expectations remain relatively unchanged despite the shift in Fed rate probabilities. The discrepancy suggests investors may be growing more sensitive toward company valuations, particularly around AI and related businesses, rather than reacting purely to monetary policy shifts.

Lower interest rates typically benefit risk assets because investors face lower payouts on cash and other safe holdings, pushing them to seek higher returns elsewhere. Cryptocurrencies, however, have struggled in recent months even as major stock indexes continue hitting record highs. The S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq initially ticked up after the employment data release but later retreated alongside Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, gold climbed 1.3% to around $5,100 per ounce, according to Yahoo Finance. The divergence underscores Bitcoin’s current positioning relative to other assets perceived as stores of value or hedges against uncertainty.

Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at trading platform IG, wrote there appears to be no appetite for dip-buying in the asset class at present. In a world filled with AI developments and where gold continues to shine, Bitcoin’s appeal has firmly waned for now, he noted.

TL;DR

Chainlink now provides onchain price feeds for Ondo Finance’s tokenized US equities, including SPYon, QQQon, and TSLAon on Ethereum. The feeds allow these assets to serve as collateral in DeFi lending platforms like Euler. By incorporating corporate actions such as dividends, the integration ensures accurate, real-time pricing and expands the practical use of tokenized stocks in decentralized finance applications.
Ondo Finance has announced that Chainlink has become the official oracle for its tokenized US stock offerings on Ethereum. Price feeds for SPYon, QQQon, and TSLAon are now live, supplying decentralized protocols with reliable onchain reference data. 

Users on Euler can use these tokenized equities as collateral to borrow stablecoins. The feeds reflect changes in the underlying stocks, including dividends and corporate actions, improving the precision of lending and liquidation processes. This integration also enables automated strategies within DeFi platforms, allowing liquidity providers and borrowers to interact with tokenized equities more efficiently and with less reliance on manual price checks.

Expanded Lending Opportunities With Onchain Pricing Before this integration, tokenized equities mainly provided price exposure but were limited as collateral. By linking exchange-traded prices to decentralized oracles, Ondo enables DeFi protocols to set and monitor collateral factors and liquidation thresholds more effectively. The initial rollout covers SPYon, QQQon, and TSLAon, while additional tokenized stocks and ETFs are planned as adoption increases. Sentora is responsible for overseeing risk parameters in these new lending markets. Developers can also leverage these feeds to build new financial products, including synthetic derivatives and automated yield strategies tied directly to tokenized equities.

Tokenized Equities Gain Momentum Across Platforms The launch coincides with growing activity in both traditional and crypto markets for tokenized securities. Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange are exploring blockchain-based platforms for trading tokenized stocks and ETFs. On the crypto side, over 60 tokenized US stocks are already live on Kraken and Bybit. Robinhood has also started testing tokenized assets on its Ethereum-based layer-2 network. These developments indicate wider acceptance of blockchain-based equities in both centralized and decentralized finance.

By providing secure, accurate price feeds, Chainlink strengthens the foundation for tokenized equities to be used in lending, trading, and structured products. As more stocks and ETFs integrate into DeFi, tokenized US equities could become a mainstream option for investors seeking flexible, onchain exposure to traditional markets.

XRP and Bitcoin (BTC) were pitted against each other in a recent analysis, with market expert X Finance Bull revealing what early investors could have gained if they had invested $500 into both XRP and BTC in 2014. The analysis compares the performance of both cryptocurrencies over the years, highlighting the factors behind XRP’s growth and sustained momentum.

What $500 In Bitcoin And XRP in 2014 Is Worth Today A new analysis by X Finance Bull reveals the dramatic growth potential of early investments in Bitcoin and XRP. According to the report, a $500 investment in XRP at the 2014 lows would be worth approximately $255,000 today. He compares XRP’s gains with those of Bitcoin, noting that if investors had bet the same amount in BTC in 2014, their investments would have grown to around $133,000. 

These figures suggest that XRP outperformed Bitcoin by more than twice over the same period, delivering a 511-fold return, compared to BTC’s 266-fold gain. During that time, XRP’s performance benefited not only from early, steady adoption and speculative interest but also from the continued development of its underlying payment system. 

Over the years, XRP has moved beyond a purely speculative asset, gaining more traction as it evolves into a potential global settlement layer. Sharing similar sentiments, X Finance Bull highlighted how XRP’s infrastructure developments have significantly supported its significant price growth today. He noted that the cryptocurrency has seen major progress in areas such as Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), banking licenses, and enterprise-level adoption. 

Notably, XRP Spot ETFs officially launched in November 2025, attracting massive inflows that have significantly boosted demand for XRP among institutional investors. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has conditionally approved Ripple’s application to establish a national trust bank charter. All of these developments have contributed to XRP’s price growth over the past few months. 

Investors Reap Rewards For Holding XRP Through Volatility  In his post, X Finance Bull suggested that investors who held onto their XRP positions through the volatile years “know why they held.” Following the cryptocurrency’s dramatic rally above $3, many investors reaped the rewards of staying invested from its lows and trusting in its potential for future price appreciation. 

From 2018 to 2025, XRP struggled with a lawsuit filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). During those years of legal turmoil, many investors continued to hold onto their XRP despite the uncertainty and price stagnancy. 

Following Ripple’s legal win, XRP surpassed $3 in 2025, marking its first break above that level since 2018. Compared to XRP, Bitcoin has also experienced significant growth in the past few years. After crossing the $100,000 threshold in 2024, BTC continued its surge into 2025, finally hitting a peak above $126,000 in October.

Goldman Sachs just reported that it holds XRP, yet it actually does not. Sounds weird, right?

The Wall Street bank reportedly holds over $152M worth of XRP. Like most large institutions, it holds this exposure via ETFs rather than directly owning the tokens.

This marks one of Goldman Sachs’ first reported institutional exposures to XRP.

This is part of a larger crypto portfolio, as the bank holds roughly $1 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, along with over $108 million in Solana exposure.

During Q4 2025, the bank trimmed some of its Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF positions and reallocated part of that capital into XRP and Solana ETFs.

Notably, this Q4 2025 disclosure shows a 15% year-over-year increase, despite the broader crypto market volatility.

When even banks are buying at these levels, it gets interesting to see where bullish XRP price predictions could lead next.

Here is what the chart is saying.

XRP Price Prediction: If Banks Are Buying, Why XRP Heading $1.20?XRP is still trapped inside a descending channel, but it finally looks like it is trying to catch its breath.

Price bounced good from the $1.10–$1.30 support zone and is now chopping just under channel resistance, which is exactly where relief rallies usually start.

Source: XRPUSD / TradingViewAs long as $1.30 holds, downside risk looks limited, but losing it again would open the door back toward $1.10.

The big moment is a clean break and hold above the channel and $1.50, which would signal a real bullish shift and set up moves toward $1.90 and $2.10 pretty fast.

RSI is still depressed, so any push higher has fuel, but until XRP reclaims that descending resistance, this is a bounce attempt, not a full trend flip yet.

Big money is positioning quietly in XRP, but price is still moving slow and cautiously. Just like how they’re positioning themselves into Maxi Doge early.

Why Maxi Doge ($MAXI) Thriving In The Bear Market

When majors like XRP grind inside downtrend and rallies feel heavy, attention shifts to assets that can actually move. That is where Maxi Doge ($MAXI) steps in.

Maxi Doge is not built for patience trades. It is built for momentum. Clear meme narrative, aggressive branding, and a community-first approach designed for fast sentiment flips, not slow institutional rotations.

The early traction backs it up. The $MAXI presale has raised around $4.6 million so far, with staking rewards offering up to 68% APY for early participants.

If institutions are quietly stacking slow movers, retail usually chases speed. Maxi Doge is positioned exactly for that moment.

Roman Semenov is now on the FBI’s Most Wanted list. This Wednesday, it was revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation included the developer of the Tornado Cash privacy protocol on its “Most Wanted” list. After nearly 30 months in an unknown location, federal authorities intensified the search for the blockchain researcher, who is charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business, according to the agency’s official report.

This move highlights the regulatory pressure on anonymity tools within the crypto ecosystem, especially following the conviction of his colleague Roman Storm last August. This particular case represents a turning point in the prosecution of software developers who, according to the Department of Justice, facilitated violations of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act through the movement of illicit funds.

Currently, the federal agency is requesting public assistance to locate Semenov, pointing to potential links in Russia, Dubai, and Turkey. The market and digital privacy advocates will closely monitor this process, as the outcome of the search and the potential trial could set definitive precedents regarding the legal liability of decentralized protocol creators in the face of platform misuse.

XRP is always dividing opinion across the crypto market, especially when it comes to long-term price projections. One well-known supporter is arguing that most critics are looking at the asset the wrong way. 

According to an X post shared by BarriC, the biggest mistake people make with the token is trying to value its future using a past that never included real adoption. 

Pricing The Future With A Retail Past BarriC, who has built a reputation for consistently calling bold price targets for XRP, insists that the framework investors rely on today is incomplete. In his view, the altcoin has never truly been priced under conditions that reflect its intended role in global finance, and so it is impossible to know how that will play into the price if it finally happens.

BarriC’s contention is that XRP has so far existed almost entirely inside a retail trading environment. This is based on a structure that has shaped crypto for over a decade: four-year cycles, Bitcoin halvings, bull markets followed by altcoin seasons, and eventual bear market resets. XRP, like most digital assets, has largely traded as a speculative instrument on exchanges within that structure.

The above framework is the only one most market participants understand, and this is visible in the analytical outlook from various crypto analysts. Investors look at charts, historical patterns, and market capitalization models, then conclude that price targets in the thousands or tens of thousands of dollars are unrealistic. Based on that perspective, numbers such as $1,000 or $10,000 for the altcoin appear detached from financial logic.

These crypto cycles do not account for a phase where a digital asset transitions from speculative trading to being embedded in the global financial infrastructure, which is the long-term vision many supporters associate with XRP and Ripple.

Why Market Cap Doesn’t Matter BarriC and a few others have repeatedly dismissed market capitalization as a limiting factor in XRP’s future valuation. Critics often argue that extreme price targets would require the token to exceed the total value of major global asset classes.

Once XRP is integrated into the global financial infrastructure, it will stop behaving like something you buy on an exchange. It becomes necessary. “And necessity doesn’t price the same way speculation does,” the analyst said. Previous projections by the analyst have put the altcoin stabilizing above $1,000 following a utility run.

XRP and Ripple’s infrastructure, for one, have been predicted to replace SWIFT as the global payments infrastructure, and analysts have suggested XRP and Ripple will be in charge of a huge portion of SWIFT’s estimated $150 trillion annual flow by 2030. If that were to happen, demand for the cryptocurrency would be totally different from what it currently is. These, and a few other projections, partnerships, and recent acquisitions, have seen Ripple’s value growing in recent months. Ripple is now the ninth-largest private company in the world.

Key Takeaways Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said prediction markets are entering a "supercycle" that could eventually drive trillions of dollars in annual trading volume.Shares of the retail brokerage tumbled Wednesday after its quarterly sales missed estimates as cryptocurrency trading volumes plunged. Investors dumped shares of Robinhood Wednesday after the company reported disappointing quarterly results. Its CEO says they should be excited about its newest slate of offerings, particularly in prediction markets.

"We're just at the beginning of a prediction market supercycle that could drive trillions in annual volume over time," Vlad Tenev told investors during the company's earnings call late Tuesday, according to a transcript provided by AlphaSense.

Robinhood said in its earnings report that its prediction markets volume more than doubled in the fourth quarter, with $12 billion in contracts in the first full year of operations in 2025. The company said it's already at $4 billion so far this year.

Tenev said on the call that Robinhood still plans to bring its own prediction market—operated as a joint venture with market maker Susquehanna International Group—online later this year. The move could give Robinhood more control over what contracts are offered, and better margins than partnering with another exchange operator.

Shares of Robinhood (HOOD) plunged close to 9% Wednesday after the retail brokerage posted fourth-quarter revenue that missed analysts' estimates, as cryptocurrency trading volumes plunged amid a pullback in the price of bitcoin and other major coins.

Tenev told CNBC in a televised interview Wednesday that he's "very bullish" on the crypto industry in the long run, and that the company plans to continue expanding its crypto offerings along with its rapidly growing prediction markets business.

Investors could get more details on Robinhood's upcoming projects next month, when the company hosts its "Take Flight" event scheduled on March 4, where Tenev is expected to introduce new products.

With Wednesday's drop, shares of Robinhood have lost nearly a third of their value year-to-date.

Key Takeaways:

The Big Hollow Energy Center introduces Missouri's first integrated natural gas and battery storage facility, enhancing statewide energy reliability for homes, businesses, and industry. Featuring an 800-megawatt natural gas plant paired with a 400-megawatt lithium-ion battery system, the project delivers rapid-response backup power during periods of high demand. This innovative, hybrid approach supports grid stability while advancing Ameren Missouri's commitment to reliable service while efficiently meeting customers' increased energy needs. , /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Ameren Missouri, a subsidiary of Ameren Corporation (NYSE: AEE), received approval from the Missouri Public Service Commission to move forward with the Big Hollow Energy Center, a new hybrid energy facility designed to strengthen energy reliability for all customers across Missouri, including residential, small business and industrial customers.

The approval authorizes construction of an 800-megawatt (MW) simple-cycle natural gas energy center paired with the state's first large-scale battery storage facility at a single site in Jefferson County, Missouri. The Big Hollow Energy Center will be integrated into Ameren Missouri's statewide generation and will support reliable electric service for customers throughout the company's service territory.

"Today's decision allows us to advance an investment that supports reliability for all of our customers," said Michael Moehn, group president, Ameren Utilities of Ameren Corporation. "Big Hollow will be part of the generation system that serves homes, businesses and communities across Missouri, helping ensure we can meet growing demand while keeping the grid dependable for everyone."

With regulatory approval in place, the Big Hollow Energy Center is expected to be ready to serve customers beginning in 2028. Like the Castle Bluff Energy Center, the natural gas portion of Big Hollow will be designed to deliver energy during the coldest winter days, hottest summer afternoons and other periods of peak demand, while also backing up the grid when renewable energy generation is otherwise unavailable.

Co-located at the site will be Ameren Missouri's first large-scale lithium-ion battery installation. The planned 400-MW battery storage facility will be a fast-acting resource capable of responding within moments to support customers' energy needs. Fully charged, the batteries could power thousands of homes for hours and help strengthen overall grid reliability, particularly during times of peak energy demand. Ameren Missouri plans to add 1,000 MW of battery storage by 2030 and a total of 1,800 MW across multiple sites by 2042.

The natural gas generation and battery storage facilities will operate independently while leveraging existing energy infrastructure Ameren Missouri already owns, reducing construction time and cost to customers.

"Big Hollow adds flexibility and resilience to the energy system that serves customers across Missouri," said Ajay Arora, senior vice president and chief development officer at Ameren Missouri. "By combining fast-starting natural gas generation with battery storage, the project helps ensure reliable service for homes and businesses during periods of peak demand and changing system conditions."

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 11, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of F5, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIV) between October 28, 2024 and October 27, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important February 17, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased F5 securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the F5 class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=46672 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than February 17, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

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

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to F5's projected revenue outlook and anticipated growth while also minimizing risk from seasonality and macroeconomic fluctuations. In truth, F5's optimistic claims, touting its purported best-in-industry security and overall emphasis and confidence in F5's ability to meet and capitalize on the growing security needs for its clientele fell short of reality; F5 was, at the time, the subject of a significant security incident, placing its clientele's security and F5's future prospects at significant risk. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the F5 class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=46672 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

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

Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.88 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.25 per share. This compares to earnings of $1 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -16.55%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this biopharmaceutical company would post earnings of $1.58 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.04, delivering a surprise of +29.11%.

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

Neurocrine, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Drugs industry, posted revenues of $805.5 million for the quarter ended December 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.89%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $627.7 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Neurocrine shares have lost about 3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 1.4%.

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

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

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

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Neurocrine was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

RYE, N.Y, Feb. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of The Gabelli Multimedia Trust Inc. (NYSE:GGT) (the “Fund”) approved the continuation of its policy of paying fixed monthly cash distributions, reflective of the strength of the Fund’s NAV total return of 38% in 2025. The 2026 annual distribution of $0.88 per share currently equates to a 21% “cash on cash” distribution.

Under its monthly distribution policy, the Fund will continue to pay a $0.22 per share quarterly distribution, with $0.07 per share paid for each of the first two months of the quarter and $0.08 per share paid in the third month of each quarter. The Board of Directors declared cash distributions as set forth below for each of April, May, and June 2026.

Distribution MonthRecord DatePayable DateDistribution Per ShareAprilApril 16, 2026April 23, 2026$0.07MayMay 14, 2026May 21, 2026$0.07JuneJune 15, 2026June 23, 2026$0.08
The Fund previously paid quarterly distributions in accordance with a “managed distribution policy” adopted pursuant to an exemptive order granted to the Fund by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which permitted the Fund to distribute long-term capital gains more frequently than the limits provided in the Investment Company Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Fund no longer intends to rely on this exemptive relief to maintain a managed distribution policy in connection with its monthly distributions.

The Fund currently intends to make monthly cash distributions of all or a portion of its investment company taxable income (which includes ordinary income and realized net short term capital gains) to common shareholders. The Fund also intends to make annual distributions of its realized net long term capital gains, if any. The Fund, however, may make more than one capital gain distribution to avoid paying U.S. federal excise tax. A portion of each distribution may be a return of capital. Various factors will affect the level of the Fund’s income. To permit the Fund to maintain more stable distributions, the Fund may from time to time distribute more or less than the entire amount of income earned in a particular period. The Fund’s distribution policy may be modified from time to time by the Board as it deems appropriate, including in light of market and economic conditions and the Fund’s current, expected and historical earnings and investment performance. Because the Fund’s monthly distributions are subject to modification by the Board at any time and the Fund’s income will fluctuate, there can be no assurance that the Fund will pay distributions at a particular rate or frequency.

Based on the accounting records of the Fund currently available, each of the distributions paid to common shareholders in 2026 would be deemed 100% from paid-in capital on a book basis. This does not represent information for tax reporting purposes. The estimated components of each distribution are updated and provided to shareholders of record in a notice accompanying the distribution and are available on our website (www.gabelli.com). The final determination of the sources of all distributions in 2026 will be made after year end and can vary from the monthly estimates. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution. All individual shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment for all 2026 distributions in early 2027 via Form 1099-DIV.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund before investing. For more information regarding the Fund’s distribution policy and other information about the Fund, call:

RYE, N.Y., Feb. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Trustees of The Gabelli Global Small and Mid Cap Value Trust (NYSE:GGZ) (the “Fund”) declared a $0.21 per share cash distribution payable on March 24, 2026 to common shareholders of record on March 17, 2026. This is a 31% increase from $0.16 per share, bringing the annualized distribution rate to $0.84 from $0.64 per share.

The Fund intends to pay a quarterly distribution of an amount determined each quarter by the Board of Trustees. In addition to the quarterly distributions, and in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code for regulated investment companies, the Fund may pay an adjusting distribution in December which includes any additional income and net realized capital gains in excess of the quarterly distributions for that year.

Each quarter, the Board of Directors reviews the amount of any potential distribution from the income, realized capital gain, or capital available. The Board of Directors will continue to monitor the Fund’s distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund’s net asset value and the current financial market environment. The Fund’s distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Directors at any time, and there can be no guarantee that the policy will continue. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.

All or part of the distribution may be treated as long-term capital gain or qualified dividend income (or a combination of both) for individuals, each subject to the maximum federal income tax rate for long term capital gains, which is currently 20% in taxable accounts for individuals (or less depending on an individual’s tax bracket). In addition, certain U.S. shareholders who are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% Medicare surcharge on their "net investment income", which includes dividends received from the Fund and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of shares of the Fund.

If the Fund does not generate sufficient earnings (dividends and interest income, less expenses, and realized net capital gain) equal to or in excess of the aggregate distributions paid by the Fund in a given year, then the amount distributed in excess of the Fund’s earnings would be deemed a return of capital. Since this would be considered a return of a portion of a shareholder’s original investment, it is generally not taxable and would be treated as a reduction in the shareholder’s cost basis.

Long-term capital gains, qualified dividend income, investment company taxable income, and return of capital, if any, will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to all distributions to common shareholders for the year. Based on the accounting records of the Fund currently available, the current distribution paid to common shareholders in 2026 would include approximately 33% from net investment income and 67% from net capital gains on a book basis. This does not represent information for tax reporting purposes. The estimated components of each distribution are updated and provided to shareholders of record in a notice accompanying the distribution and are available on our website (www.gabelli.com). The final determination of the sources of all distributions in 2026 will be made after year end and can vary from the quarterly estimates. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution. All individual shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment for all 2026 distributions in early 2027 via Form 1099-DIV.
