, /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. ("Alexandria" or the "Company") (NYSE: ARE) and reminds investors of the January 26, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

James (Josh) Wilson, Faruqi & Faruqi Senior Partner (PRNewsfoto/Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP)

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: Defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of its Long Island City (LIC) property; notably, the Company's claims and confidence about the leasing value of the LIC property as a life-science destination aligning with ARE's Megacampus™ strategy. 

Alexandria issued a press release on October 27, 2025, reporting its financial results for the third quarter of 2025. Among other items, Alexandria reported third quarter earnings that fell short of analyst expectations, a 5% decline in revenue, and a 7% decline in adjusted funds from operation. Alexandria also reported a decline in its average occupancy rate from 94.8% in the prior year to 91.4%.

The crypto industry changes rapidly, often reshaping business strategies almost overnight. One shift gaining traction among startups is the move toward paying employees in USDC rather than USDT or traditional banking.

As of late November 2025, Solana finds itself at a critical juncture, confronting a significant resistance level that could determine its trajectory in the coming months. Solana's price fluctuations are closely watched by investors and analysts, as a breach of this level might set the stage for a bullish breakout.

A growing number of analysts believe that the cryptocurrency market is likely to see more capital inflows in the coming months, with several assets poised to stand out. 

To this end, such renewed investor focus could see select altcoins approach a market cap of about $50 billion in 2026.

Notably, recent market behaviour suggests that despite volatility across the sector, certain networks are quietly positioning for meaningful upside, supported by shifting liquidity cycles, whale activity, and strengthening sentiment.

Dogecoin (DOGE)
Dogecoin (DOGE), trading at around $0.149 as of press time with a market cap of approximately $22.69 billion, would need roughly 120% growth to reach $50 billion.

The latest insights indicate that DOGE continues to attract large holders, with whale accumulation steadily increasing even as institutional inflows through its ETF have weakened.

Analysts point out that while the ETF’s lacklustre demand briefly weighed on sentiment, Dogecoin’s historical performance has never depended heavily on institutional participation.

Retail investors remain its primary engine, and online sentiment suggests retail engagement could strengthen once market conditions stabilize.

Notably, some models already forecast a move toward the $0.20 to $0.23 range, and if DOGE manages to reclaim and hold those levels, the path toward a $50 billion valuation becomes considerably more realistic.

Cardano (ADA)
Cardano (ADA), priced at about $0.417 with a market cap near $14.99 billion, requires close to 233% growth to hit the $50 billion milestone.

ADA one-week price chart. Source: Finbold
The asset recently slipped below the critical $0.5 support level, raising short-term concerns, yet on-chain data shows that large wallets have been quietly accumulating ADA during this period of weakness.

This accumulation aligns with a notable increase in search interest and online discussion surrounding Cardano, indicators that often precede broader market re-engagement.

Analysts note that ADA’s long-term prospects depend heavily on renewed ecosystem activity, stronger DeFi participation, and improved on-chain usage.

Although each asset approaches the target from a different structural foundation, both demonstrate underlying signals that could support substantial growth over the next year. Most importantly, their trajectory will depend on broader market sentiment, as they tend to trade in tandem with other major assets.

After one of the strongest price rallies of the year, Zcash has abruptly shifted direction with a major breakdown that has taken many traders by surprise. The asset has now fallen 40% from its early-November peak, triggering widespread debate across crypto circles about whether the downturn marks a temporary correction or the start of a deeper trend reversal.

Wall Street pushed straight through fear this week as the market surged even while parts of global trading systems went dark, according to Bloomberg. A month packed with stress over speculative excess and stretched AI prices flipped fast into a broad risk rally.

If bitcoin's mood had a name today, it'd be “cautiously optimistic with a hint of suspense.” After a thunderous drop and a dramatic bounce, the king of crypto now appears to be tiptoeing along a tightrope of indecision, with bulls and bears exchanging awkward glances but neither making the first move.

Solana could make a serious run at the $300 price level next year.

It hasn't been a great year for Solana (SOL 4.08%). The world's sixth-largest cryptocurrency is down nearly 30% in 2025. While all cryptocurrencies have taken a hit over the past 30 days, Solana has been especially hard hit as it fell through the $200 price level.

But three big catalysts are on the horizon for Solana. If everything goes according to plan, then the price of Solana could take off in 2026. Here's what to watch.

Comprehensive new crypto legislation
During the summer, the U.S. Congress made enormous headway on crypto legislation. The highlight, of course, was the passage of new stablecoin legislation known as the GENIUS Act.

Once that was signed into law, the next step was supposed to be the passage of comprehensive new crypto legislation. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (H.R. 3633) passed the House in July, and all lights were flashing green.

But then came the federal government shutdown. Suddenly, all the momentum for crypto came to a grinding halt. That helps explain why investors suddenly soured on the crypto market and why sentiment is still at very low levels for Solana right now.

Image source: Getty Images.

But all that could change within the next few months. The Senate is coming up with its own version of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, and the thinking now is that it might be ready to go by early 2026.

If so, it would provide a huge boost to Solana and its blockchain ecosystem. As a layer 1 blockchain network, Solana is a core building block of everything that happens in the blockchain world. So any legislation that pushes forward the mainstream adoption of blockchain technology could be a tremendous driver of value for Solana.

I wouldn't be surprised if all layer 1 blockchains -- including Ethereum (ETH 2.39%) -- receive a huge boost from the new legislation.

A new blockchain upgrade
At the same time, Solana just received an important new blockchain upgrade in the form of the new high-performance Firedancer validator client. In layman's terms, it will be easier, cheaper, and faster to add blocks to the Solana blockchain, and that will lead to dramatic improvements in transaction processing speeds and overall efficiency.

Solana has already far surpassed Ethereum in terms of transaction processing speeds, attracting the attention of high-profile investors such as Cathie Wood of Ark Invest. Now, Firedancer is going to put Solana into an entirely new class of its own.

The thinking now is that Solana could be well on its way to processing 1 million transactions per second. That's blazing fast, and that type of speed has always been one of the Holy Grails of the blockchain world. Ethereum, for example, has been talking about 1 million transactions per second for years now.

A surge in usage and activity
Speed matters. It's what leads to dramatic upticks in users and overall blockchain usage. And right now, the Solana blockchain ecosystem is firing on all cylinders. According to a recent research report from 21Shares, the Solana blockchain ecosystem generated nearly $3 billion in revenue over the most recent 12-month period.

One area where Solana is fast becoming a star is decentralized finance (DeFi). While Ethereum is still the acknowledged market leader here, Solana is making huge strides. It now ranks second behind Ethereum, with a roughly 10% market share of the DeFi market. And it has already passed Ethereum in terms of 24-hour trading volume on its decentralized exchanges.

Is Solana a $300 crypto?
All three of these catalysts could help catapult Solana forward in 2026. Solana is currently trading at a healthy 55% discount to its all-time high of $294 from January. That seems like a dramatic investor overreaction to the global macroeconomic outlook. How much has really changed for Solana over the past 12 months?

My prediction is that Solana could make a serious run at the $300 price level in 2026. If that's the case, then the time to buy is now. If you wait until January, it might be too late.

Shiba Inu has suspended its recovery as its open interest enters deep reds, suggesting weakening interest amid the market downturn.

Cover image via U.Today

The crypto market has suspended its recent rally, and the prices of leading cryptocurrencies have begun to move sideways. Amid this declining market condition, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has seen its price drop by 3.81% in the last 24 hours.

Amid this unfavorable price movement, SHIB’s key metric has also flashed unexpected bearish signals as its futures activity is seen plummeting significantly.

SHIB open interest falls 17%According to data provided by CoinGlass, the Shiba Inu open interest has fallen significantly by 16.74% over the last 24 hours, as traders appears to be exiting positions to hedge against potential risk poised by the market downturn.

HOT Stories

While SHIB’s open interest refers to all the outstanding contracts for Shiba Inu that have not been settled, the massive decline in this important metric shows growing uncertainty as market participants are hesitating to bet on future actions.

Amid this significant drop, only about 10 trillion SHIB tokens have been committed by investors on the Shiba Inu futures market, a substantially low performance compared to previous levels.

Nonetheless, the sharp decline in the asset’s open interest suggests that traders are quickly reducing their leverage and closing short and long positions in preparation for future volatility.

What's next for SHIB?This massive drop in the Shiba Inu futures activity has come after the recent crypto market rally that saw Shiba Inu record notable daily gains.

Nonetheless, the rebound did not last for long as the market has suddenly returned to its correction mode, sparking fear and uncertainty among investors.

Following the sudden shift in sentiment, SHIB is back to the downside trajectory, with its price changing hands at $0.000008504 as of writing. Notably, this represents a 3.78% decline in the last 24 hours.

Prior to the sudden decline, the meme coin was trading at a peak of $0.00001032 in earlier trading sessions before its recent drop. Despite the unexpected market shift, analysts have predicted that the ongoing drop will only last for a short term, preparing the token for a big rally in the coming month.

Large investor deposits are driving exchange inflows, boosting the average deposit sizes for BTC and ETH.

The ongoing bitcoin correction may get worse in the coming weeks due to a current trend among traders and large investors. Analysts at the crypto research firm CryptoQuant have discovered that BTC traders are sending large amounts of their holdings to exchanges.

Historically, large exchange deposits have preceded major sell-offs, while withdrawals from trading platforms signal that investors are moving their assets to self-custody. In this situation of increasing BTC deposits, traders intend to continue selling the digital asset amid the ongoing downturn.

BTC to See More Selling Pressure
BTC fell to a seven-month low of just over $80,000 last week. Although the asset had recovered to the $91,000 range at the time of writing, bears remain in control, and momentum is weak, according to CQ’s report.

As the cryptocurrency fell towards $87,000, the total number of units sent to exchanges rose to a high of 9,000 BTC on November 21. Market experts found that 45% of the total number of assets sent to trading platforms comes from large deposits – investors depositing 100 BTC or more at a time. The average deposit value spiked from 0.6 BTC last week to 1.23 BTC a few days ago, reaching the highest level in a year.

If traders and Bitcoin investors continue to deposit BTC in large quantities on exchanges, then the cryptocurrency may have a harder time recovering from this drawdown. A new wave of strong demand will be needed to absorb the supply and reignite a rally in the asset’s price.

ETH and Altcoins Not Safe Either
Besides BTC, Ether and other altcoins are also seeing substantial exchange deposits. For ETH, total inflows to trading platforms have not risen much, but the deposits are increasingly dominated by significant amounts. Since the second-largest crypto asset fell to $2,900, the daily average exchange deposit has increased to 41.7 ETH, a level not seen in almost three years.

Meanwhile, the total daily number of deposits across the altcoin sector has remained high. Since July, the number of transactions sending altcoins to exchanges has hovered at over 40,000. The transactions peaked at 78,000 on October 17. This high exchange deposit activity aligns with the low price momentum observed in the altcoin sector in this cycle.

DOGE shows strong support at $0.08 and resistance at $0.20, entering a third accumulation phase that could drive price toward $0.80.

Newton Gitonga2 min read

29 November 2025, 02:49 PM

Dogecoin briefly spiked above $0.155 before losing momentum and sliding back toward the $0.150 zone. Since then, the price has moved mostly sideways with mild volatility, showing weak buying pressure.

As of this writing, Dogecoin is exchanging hands at around $0.1494 with a 24-hour loss of 0.99%.

DOGE price chart, Source: CoinMarketCap

DOGE Price Stability Hinges on the $0.08 Support RangeAccording to recent data by analyst Ali Martinez, the Dogecoin Cost Basis Distribution Heatmap clearly shows that a substantial portion of holders accumulated their DOGE positions around the $0.08 support zone, creating a strong foundation for price stability. This dense cluster of buying activity represents a psychologically and technically significant level. 

Investors who bought here are deeply positioned and typically react by adding more to their holdings or refusing to sell when the price retests this region. This behavior naturally reinforces the support, making $0.08 a critical defensive line where buyer conviction tends to outweigh selling pressure, limiting the likelihood of a deeper breakdown.

Source: X

On the opposite side, Martinez highlights the $0.20–$0.21 range as a major resistance barrier defined by heavy cost-basis concentration above the current price. The heatmap shows that many DOGE holders entered the market at these higher levels, and as the price approaches this area, they may be inclined to sell, break even, or reduce exposure, creating strong overhead supply. Martinez often explains that such upper accumulation blocks act as walls that cap upward momentum until a decisive breakout occurs with strong volume. 

DOGE Poised for Major Bullish Breakout Amid Third Accumulation PhaseAnalyst Bitcoinsensus highlights a clear cyclical pattern in Dogecoin’s price action, observable in the chart. The cryptocurrency has repeatedly moved through phases of accumulation followed by upward price waves. The chart identifies three main accumulation zones, each leading to progressively larger bullish moves. The first accumulation saw a 190% surge, while the second led to a remarkable 480% rally. These periods of sideways trading indicate strong investor interest and the building of buying pressure, which typically precedes substantial price increases.

Source: X

Currently, Dogecoin appears to be in the third accumulation phase. If this historical pattern continues, this phase could lead to an even larger bullish wave, potentially pushing DOGE toward new all-time highs around $0.80. The RSI indicator also suggests oversold conditions, supporting the likelihood of a strong upward movement once the accumulation concludes. The chart and prior cycles underscore a predictable pattern: extended accumulation periods are followed by progressively larger price surges, signaling a promising bullish setup for investors.

A leading finance expert believes that the current growth stage of the Bitcoin price mirrors Google’s expansion in 2017, suggesting that the network is yet to reach its true potential. The expert’s comparison positions Bitcoin as a maturing digital system that has established core utility, with a larger phase of value capture still ahead. His remarks about BTC come at a time when its price is navigating sharp downside risks and heightened market volatility

How The Bitcoin Price Compares To Google In 2017
Raoul Pal, the founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Real Vision, has highlighted a compelling connection between Bitcoin’s current price growth and Google’s early years. In an X post this week, Pal argued that digital assets clearly follow a network-driven growth model, comparing the sector to major technology giants that expanded rapidly as their user base increased. 

The Real Vision founder emphasized that crypto behaves like a Metcalfe’s Law network, similar to Google, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla, where value scales with the number of participants rather than traditional financial metrics. He stated that attempting to value cryptocurrencies using cash flow models overlooks the essence of what makes a network valuable. 

Source: Chart from Raoul Pal on X
In his view, the structure of blockchain ecosystems means that their worth is tied to usage, adoption, and the network effects generated by millions of users. This unique framework underpins Pal’s belief that Bitcoin’s price growth today is a reflection of Google’s position in 2017. The financial expert supported his argument with a GOOGL US equity chart, showing its multi-year growth curve on a logarithmic scale. During 2017, Google was already dominant in areas like search, yet many of its long-term value drivers, such as cloud and Artificial Intelligence (AI), were still developing. 

While the Bitcoin network is secure, widely adopted, and increasingly integrated into the global financial system, Pal’s view suggests that the cryptocurrency’s long-term development and true potential are still far from realized. He added that Ethereum may be even earlier in its growth curve, suggesting the second-largest cryptocurrency could follow a longer trajectory as its technology and applications evolve.  

The True Value of Crypto Networks
Pal’s remarks on X, which compares Bitcoin to Google, were made in response to statements from Santiago Roel Santos, the founder and CEO of Inversion, a technology-first investment company. Santos initially argued that network effects in crypto have been overstated and are often misused to justify valuations resembling those of social networking companies. 

Santos suggested that many cryptocurrencies have not demonstrated meaningful value capture and therefore resemble open source software systems like Linux rather than platforms such as Facebook, which benefit directly from rising user numbers. Pal challenged this view by insisting that crypto networks exhibit real and measurable network effects. His entire argument is built on the idea that user activity and transaction volume support the growing value of digital networks like Bitcoin.

Blockchain analytics platform XWIN Research Japan shares that Bitcoin’s NPRL has returned to a neutral zone following a period of significant volatility. This development represents one of many positives following Bitcoin’s modest price gain over the last week.

NPRL Shows Balanced Market, New Trend Forms On Horizon
The Net Realized Profit and Loss (NRPL) is an on-chain metric that measures the total profit or loss that Bitcoin holders realize when they sell their coins at a given price. A positive NRPL suggests more BTC are being sold at a profit rather than at a loss, i.e., market participants are realizing gains, while a negative NRPL means more BTC are being sold at a loss than at a profit.

According to analysts at XWIN Research Japan, Bitcoin’s NPRL registered significant positive and negative deviations between November 22 and 24. However, the metric has stabilized in its neutral zone since November 25, as Bitcoin achieved a sustained market recovery. At near-zero NRPL, realized gains and losses are roughly balanced, suggesting market indecision or consolidation. This period usually comes after periods of market capitulation, marking a transition from a volatile phase to a calmer market environment.

Source: CryptoQuant
As earlier stated, the stabilization of NRPL aligns with Bitcoin’s price action, which has recently risen to steady around the $90,000 range. The lack of significant upward or downward pressure suggests that the market is digesting recent volatility and building a foundation for future movements. Analysts at XWIN state similar NRPL neutralization from the past phases has preceded the emergence of new trends, indicating BTC price may be consolidating for a new direction.

What Next For Bitcoin? 
Looking ahead, XWIN Research Japan states the critical factor will be whether NRPL maintains its position above the zero line or slips back into negative territory. A sustained positive NRPL would indicate improving demand and healthier inflows, potentially supporting a stronger recovery. Conversely, a return to negative NRPL could signal renewed weakness and the potential for another round of selling pressure.

In summary, the recent pattern, from deep negative swings to positive spikes, followed by convergence near zero, demonstrates that the market’s internal structure has largely reset and has completed its clearing phase for a new price trend to emerge.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $90,485 after a minor 0.65% loss in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, its daily trading volume is up by 14.06% and valued at $57.04 billion.

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

If you purchased or acquired securities in Molina between February 5, 2025 and July 23, 2025 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).

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Molina Healthcare, Inc. (“Molina” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MOH) and reminds investors of the December 2, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

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: (1) material, adverse facts concerning the Company’s “medical cost trend assumptions;” (2) that Molina was experiencing a “dislocation between premium rates and medical cost trend;” (3) that Molina’s near term growth was dependent on a lack of “utilization of behavioral health, pharmacy, and inpatient and outpatient services;” (4) as a result of the foregoing, Molina’s financial guidance for fiscal year 2025 was substantially likely to be cut; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On July 7, 2025, before the market opened, Molina issued a press release announcing financial results for the second quarter of 2025 and slashing full year 2025 adjusted earnings per share guidance. The press release revealed the Company’s second quarter 2025 adjusted earnings of approximately $5.50 per share, which was “below its prior expectations” due to “medical cost pressures in all three lines of business.” The Company announced it “expects these medical cost pressures to continue into the second half of the year” and cut guidance for expected adjusted earnings per share 10.2% at the midpoint, from “at least $24.50 per share” to a “range of $21.50 to $22.50 per share.” The press release revealed Molina was experiencing a “short-term earnings pressure” from a “dislocation between premium rates and medical cost trend which has recently accelerated.”

On this news, Molina’s stock price fell $6.97, or 2.9%, to close at $232.61 per share on July 7, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.

Then, on July 23, 2025, after the market closed, Molina issued a press release reporting its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 and further slashing the Company’s full-year 2025 earnings guidance. The press release revealed, in part, that the Company’s “GAAP net income was $4.75 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 8% year over year;” and it “now expects its full year 2025 adjusted earnings to be no less than $19.00 per diluted share.” This represented another 13.6% cut to guidance of earnings per share at the midpoint, from the cut to guidance announced less than two weeks earlier. The Company also cut its guidance for its full year 2025 GAAP net income 27% to $912 million. The Company attributed its results a full year outlook to a “challenging medical cost trend environment,” including mere “utilization of behavioral health, pharmacy, and inpatient and outpatient services.” The Company alleged its guidance cut also reflected “new information gained in the quarterly closing process.”

On this news, Molina’s stock price fell $32.03, or 16.84%, to close at $158.22 per share on July 24, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Stride, Inc. (“Stride” or the “Company”) (NYSE: LRN) and reminds investors of the January 12, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

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 information regarding the Company’s products and services to public and private schools, school districts, and charter boards. Throughout the Class Period, Stride represented to investors that “[t]hese products and services, spanning curriculum, systems, instruction, and support services are designed to help learners of all ages reach their full potential through inspired teaching and personalized learning.” Unbeknownst to investors, Stride was inflating enrollment numbers, cutting staff costs beyond required statutory limits, ignoring compliance requirements, and losing existing and potential enrollments.

On September 14, 2025, Simply Wall St. published a report stating that the Gallup-McKinley County Schools Board of Education had filed a complaint against Stride, alleging fraud, deceptive trade practices, systemic violations of law, and intentional and tortious misconduct, including inflating enrollment numbers by retaining “ghost students” on rolls to secure state funding per student and ignoring compliance requirements, including background checks and licensure laws for its employees.

On this news, Stride’s stock price fell $18.60, or 11.7%, to close at $139.76 per share on September 15, 2025, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on October 28, 2025, Stride released its first quarter fiscal 2026 financial results, revealing the Company had purposely “limit[ed] enrollment growth while we improve our execution.” The Company also revealed it had experienced “system implantation issues” resulting in “higher withdrawal rates and lower conversion rate.” The Company stated that “these factors resulted in approximately 10,000 to 15,000 fewer enrollments” and “these challenges will likely restrict [its] in-year enrollment growth.”

On this news, Stride’s stock price fell as much as 51% during intraday trading on October 29, 2025, thereby injuring investors further.

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 Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Inspire Medical To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. (“Inspire Medical” or the “Company”) (NYSE: INSP) and reminds investors of the January 5, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

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 key facts about Inspire V, including the actual market demand for the device and whether the company had taken the steps necessary to successfully launch it. Defendants issued a series of materially false and misleading statements that led investors to believe demand for Inspire V was strong and that Company had taken the necessary steps for a successful launch.

On August 4, 2025, Inspire Medical Systems announced significant setbacks in the launch of its new Inspire V device. The company revealed that the rollout was taking much longer than expected because many treatment centers had not yet completed the required training, contracting, and onboarding needed to begin using the product. Inspire also disclosed billing and reimbursement challenges, explaining that although Medicare had approved a CPT code for Inspire V, the necessary software updates for claims processing did not go into effect until July 1. As a result, implanting centers could not bill for procedures before that date and instead continued using the older Inspire IV system.

In addition to these logistical and reimbursement problems, Inspire reported that the Inspire V launch was suffering from weak demand and excess inventory. These issues forced the company to sharply cut its 2025 earnings guidance by more than 80%. Following these revelations, Inspire’s stock price fell more than 32% in a single day—from $129.95 per share on August 4, 2025, to $87.91 per share on August 5, 2025—wiping out approximately $1.2 billion in market capitalization.

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 Inspire Medical’s conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Skye Biosciences, Inc. (“Skye” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SKYE) and reminds investors of the January 16, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

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) nimacimab was less effective than Defendants had led investors to believe; (2) accordingly, nimacimab’s clinical, regulatory, and commercial prospects were overstated; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On October 6, 2025, Skye issued a press release "announcing the topline data from its 26-week Phase 2a CBeyond™ proof-of-concept study of nimacimab, its peripherally-restricted CB1 inhibitor antibody." The press release disclosed that the "the nimacimab monotherapy arm did not achieve the primary endpoint of weight loss compared to placebo" and that "preliminary pharmacokinetic analysis showed lower than expected drug exposure, potentially indicating the need for higher dosing as a monotherapy."

On this news, Skye's stock price fell $2.85 per share, or 60%, to close at $1.90 per share on October 6, 2025.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Synopsys, Inc. (“Synopsys” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SNPS) and reminds investors of the December 30, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

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) the extent to which the Company’s increased focus on artificial intelligence customers, which require additional customization, was deteriorating the economics of its Design IP business; (2) that, as a result, “certain road map and resource decisions” were unlikely to “yield their intended results;” (3) that the foregoing had a material negative impact on financial results; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On September 9, 2025, after market hours, Synopsys released its third quarter 2025 financial results, revealing the Company’s “IP business underperformed expectations.” The Company reported quarterly revenue of $1.740 billion, missing its prior guidance of between $1.755 billion and $1.785 billion, and reported net income of $242.5 million, a 43% year-over-year decline from $425.9 million reported for third quarter 2024. Moreover, the Company reported its Design IP segment accounted for approximately 25% of revenue and came in at $426.6 million, a 7.7% decline year-over-year. Finally, management provided guidance which implied that Design IP revenues will decline by at least 5% on a full-year basis in fiscal 2025.

On this news, Synopsys’s stock price fell $216.59, or 35.8%, to close at $387.78 per share on September 10, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.

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.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered In Avantor To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in Avantor between March 5, 2024 and October 28, 2025 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).

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Avantor, Inc. (“Avantor” or the “Company”) (NYSE: AVTR) and reminds investors of the December 29, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

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) Avantor’s competitive positioning was weaker than Defendants had publicly represented; (2) Avantor was experiencing negative effects from increased competition; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ representations about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

During the Class Period, Defendants misled investors by falsely touting the Company’s competitive positioning and downplaying the effects of increased competition. For example, during an earnings call on July 26, 2024, in response to an analyst’s question about whether Avantor was losing share to a competitor, Defendant Michael Stubblefield, then the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, assured investors that Avantor’s “lab business stacks up well against every number that certainly that we’ve seen,” that “we continue to enhance our position,” and that “we’re really confident in our value proposition and our competitive position.” Likewise, Defendants repeatedly pointed to Avantor’s purported competitive advantages, such as its digital capabilities, as evidence that the Company would continue to enjoy strong competitive positioning.

Investors began to learn the truth about the effects of increased competition on Avantor’s business on April 25, 2025, when the Company reported disappointing first quarter 2025 financial results, cut its guidance for 2025, and announced that Defendant Stubblefield would be stepping down from his roles as President and Chief Executive Officer. Defendants attributed Avantor’s weak performance and outlook to “the impact of increased competitive intensity.”

On this news, the price of Avantor common stock declined $2.57 per share, or more than 16.5%, from a close of $15.50 per share on April 24, 2025, to close at $12.93 per share on April 25, 2025

Then, on August 1, 2025, the Company reported disappointing second quarter 2025 financial results, including a year-over-year decrease in net sales, and further reduced the Company’s 2025 guidance—now projecting organic revenue growth of -2% to 0%. Defendants again attributed Avantor’s poor results and outlook to “increased competitive intensity,” and further admitted that the Company did not expect the competitive environment to materially improve in the remainder of 2025 and weak performance would therefore likely persist.

In response to this news, the price of Avantor common stock declined $2.08 per share, or more than 15%, from a close of $13.44 per share on July 31, 2025, to close at $11.36 per share on August 1, 2025.

Then, on October 29, 2025, the Company reported weak third quarter 2025 financial results, including -5% organic revenue growth (below the guidance Defendants had provided in August), and a net loss of $712 million, which Defendants primarily attributed to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $785 million. Defendants revealed that the impairment charge was necessary due in part to “competitive pressures” that had “meaningfully impacted” the Company’s margins, and further admitted that the Company had lost several large accounts

On this news, the price of Avantor common stock declined $3.50 per share, or more than 23%, from a close of $15.08 per share on October 28, 2025, to close at $11.58 per share on October 29, 2025.

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 Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In WPP To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in WPP between February 27, 2025 and July 8, 2025 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).

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against WPP plc (“WPP” or the “Company”) (NYSE: WPP) and reminds investors of the December 8, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

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 material information concerning WPP’s expected revenue for the fiscal year 2025. Defendants’ statements included, among other things, confidence in the Company’s continued efforts to revitalize and simplify its media division to obtain new wins and retain clientele, repeated claims that the “ramp-up of new wins” and ongoing sales to existing clients would offset lost clientele, and a continued emphasis on the Company’s self-proclaimed “cautious” guidance that purportedly accounted for “broad macro uncertainty.” Defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of WPP’s media arm; notably, that it was not truly equipped to handle the ongoing macroeconomic challenges while competing effectively and had instead begun to lose significant market share to its competitors. Such statements absent these material facts caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase WPP’s securities at artificially inflated prices.

On July 9, 2025, WPP published a trading update for the first half of 2025, alerting investors that the company had allegedly “seen a deterioration in performance as Q2 has progressed.” The Company attributed its misfortune to both “continued macro uncertainty weighing on client spend and weaker net new business than originally anticipated,” at least in part due to “some distraction to the business” as a result of the continued restructuring of WPP Media a.k.a. GroupM.

Investors and analysts reacted immediately to WPP’s revelation. The price of WPP’s common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $35.82 per share on July 8, 2025, WPP’s stock price fell to $29.34 per share on July 9, 2025, a decline of about 18.1% in the span of just a single day.

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 WPP’s conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
