Nezisková organizace Zcash Sovright spustila nástroj Argos, který má pomoci bývalým uživatelům ZEC Wallet Lite získat zpět zamčené shielded prostředky z roku 2022. Funguje pro ty, kdo mají původní seed frázi.
Early ZEC Holders Get a Path Back to Stranded FundsZcash nonprofit @sovright_ has released a new recovery tool called Argos, designed to help early $ZEC holders reclaim shielded funds that became inaccessible when ZEC Wallet Lite was discontinued in 2022. For users who still have their original seed phrase, Argos offers a potential route to funds that have been effectively out of reach for years.
The wallet was once a widely used light client for Zcash's shielded transaction layer, and its shutdown left a number of long-time adopters unable to access balances held in private shielded addresses. The total amount stranded has been described as significant, with early community members bearing the brunt of the impact. Sovright has not confirmed how many addresses were affected, and the scale of the recovery opportunity remains unclear. The organization says Argos is available to any former ZEC Wallet Lite user who retained their seed phrase, making that backup the key requirement for the tool.
The recovery challenge has persisted within the Zcash community for some time. As the Zcash Community Forum has documented, one recurring difficulty is that even users with a valid seed phrase may struggle to recover funds through standard wallet imports, due to the specific way ZEC Wallet Lite derived keys and addresses. Argos is Sovright's attempt to close that gap directly.
Who Is Sovright and Where Does It Fit in the Zcash Ecosystem?Sovright is the nonprofit that emerged from the Bootstrap board following January 2026's governance split with ECC. Bootstrap is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit that was created to support Zcash and provide governance oversight for ECC. When the entire ECC engineering and product team resigned in January 2026 following that dispute, the former ECC staff went on to form the VC-backed Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL), which has since raised over $25 million from investors including a16z Crypto, Paradigm, and Coinbase Ventures.
Sovright, by contrast, carries forward the nonprofit side of that legacy. The Argos launch adds a user-facing recovery function to a portfolio that already includes protocol development work and a testnet for a new Zcash mining pool with shielded payouts by default.
The release also arrives during an active period for the broader Zcash network. Network Upgrade 7 (NU7) went live on testnet in May 2026, doubling shielded transaction speed and cutting block times, paving the way for a mainnet rollout. Tools that help long-standing holders recover previously inaccessible balances could support renewed engagement with the protocol's shielded layer as that rollout approaches.
Sovright has not released a timeline for a full audit of affected addresses. Potential users should treat Argos as an early-stage release until further guidance is published by the organization.

Anza zveřejnila plán Agave v4.2 pro Solanu s cílem aktivace na mainnetu 17. srpna. Aktualizace má zkrátit sloty z 400 ms na 200 ms a zvýšit limit velikosti transakcí.
Solana’s validator client is about to get a serious tune-up. Anza, the engineering firm behind the Agave validator software, published the release schedule for Agave v4.2 on June 30, with mainnet feature activations targeting August 17.
What’s actually changing The headline number is slot times. Agave v4.2 will cut them from 400ms to 200ms as part of SIMD-0525. In plain terms, the network’s basic unit of time, the window in which a block leader processes transactions, gets cut in half.
Transaction size limits are also going up. The current ceiling sits at 1,232 bytes, a constraint that has long frustrated developers building complex on-chain applications. The v4.2 upgrade pushes that limit higher, giving developers more room to pack instructions into a single transaction without splitting them across multiple calls.
Then there’s rent. Solana charges accounts a small fee for storing data on-chain, and the upgrade will begin an incremental reduction in those costs.

Anza CEO Brennan Watt framed v4.2 as one of the most substantial overhauls of the client software, linking it to broader optimizations targeting sub-millisecond latencies. That ambition ties into Solana’s Alpenglow consensus upgrade, which aims to achieve 100-150ms transaction finality. The v4.2 release doesn’t deliver Alpenglow itself, but it lays critical groundwork.
XDP networking hits supermajority On the same day the v4.2 schedule dropped, Anza confirmed that eXpress Data Path networking achieved supermajority stake on Solana’s mainnet. XDP is a high-performance networking framework that processes packets at the kernel level before they hit the traditional networking stack.
Reaching supermajority, meaning validators representing more than two-thirds of staked SOL are running XDP, unlocks a key feature: 100 million compute unit blocks. Anza needed XDP adoption at supermajority levels before the v4.2 features could safely activate. With that threshold now crossed, the August 17 target date becomes realistic rather than aspirational.
Anza’s release cadence Anza ships major updates roughly every six weeks. Agave v4.1 landed around June 26, meaning v4.2 follows almost immediately in the release pipeline.
The firm was formed in early March 2024 after forking from Solana Labs’ validator software. Since then, it has operated as an independent entity focused exclusively on building and maintaining the Agave client.
What this means for investors The XDP supermajority achievement demonstrates that Solana’s validator set is actively coordinating around infrastructure improvements. The risk side of the ledger deserves attention too. Cutting slot times in half is technically demanding. If validators with weaker hardware or connectivity can’t keep up with 200ms slots, the network could see increased skip rates or centralization pressure as smaller operators drop out.
Rent reduction could have outsized effects on DeFi protocols that maintain large numbers of accounts. Lower rent costs reduce the overhead for liquidity pools, order books, and other state-heavy applications.
Investors should watch the August 17 activation closely. Anza’s track record of consistent six-week release cycles suggests the team can hit deadlines, but v4.2 is, by the CEO’s own admission, more ambitious than typical releases.

American Express umožňuje držitelům karet v USA platit body z programu Membership Rewards přímo přes Apple Pay při online nákupech v aplikacích na iPhonu či iPadu. Body lze použít na celou nebo část platby.
American Express U.S. card members can now use their Membership Rewards points on everyday purchases by redeeming the points directly within Apple Pay’s checkout experience.
This capability is enabled by American Express’ new “Use Pay with Points with Apple Pay” feature, the company said in a Tuesday (June 30) press release.
Eligible card members can pay with points by shopping online or in apps on iPhone or iPad, selecting Apple Pay at checkout, choosing an eligible American Express Membership Rewards card, selecting “Use Rewards,” entering the amount to apply toward the eligible purchase, and completing the Apple Pay transaction, according to the release.
Points can be used to cover all or part of the purchase, per the release.
“Card Members want rewards that fit naturally into how they shop and spend,” Lisa Kalhans, executive vice president of U.S. Consumer Cards at American Express, said in the release. “With this launch, we’re making it easier than ever for Card Members to use Membership Rewards points on the purchases they make every day.”
Jennifer Bailey, vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet at Apple, said in the release that users want choices when shopping online and that the partnership with American Express will provide a new way to redeem rewards.
“The feature makes it incredibly simple and convenient to use points with the seamless, secure experience users know and love from Apple Pay,” Bailey said.
The PYMNTS Intelligence report “Embedded Offers: The Billion-Dollar Opportunity Inside Recent Consumer Spending” found that consumers indicate that convenience is as important as the reward itself and that it’s important to make incentives easy to access.
American Express reported in April that during the first quarter, the company saw steady gains in card spending, broad engagement across categories and a custom base that continues to tilt younger.
In May, American Express expanded further into sports and loyalty with a new partnership that ties payments, rewards and fan engagement together. The company partnered with licensed sports merchandise company Fanatics to launch a co-branded credit card, add sports-focused rewards options and deepen its presence across Fanatics’ commerce and events ecosystem.
Align Technology uvedla, že s Evropskou komisí bude spolupracovat při vyšetřování zahájeném na základě stížnosti konkurenta. Firma obvinění odmítá a tvrdí, že její postupy jsou v souladu s pravidly hospodářské soutěže.
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Align Technology, Inc. (“Align”) (Nasdaq: ALGN), a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign® System of clear aligners, iTero™ intraoral scanners, and exocad™ CAD/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, today responded to the European Commission’s June 30 press release announcing an investigation involving the Company based on a complaint made by an Align competitor.
Align Technology is committed to conducting business with integrity and in full compliance with global competition laws. We believe fair, lawful competition drives innovation, expands choice, and delivers better outcomes for doctors and patients. Our success in the teeth-straightening market is built on the strength of our products and services — quality, innovation, and customer experience — not on unfair practices, and we strongly dispute any suggestion to the contrary.
Align’s iTero intraoral scanning platform is designed to support an open and diverse digital dental ecosystem, and supports a wide range of clinical workflows, including implants, restorative dentistry, digital orthodontics, and clear aligner treatment. iTero generated scans can be freely exported to order aligners other than Invisalign aligners. Align maintains a scan acceptance policy designed to ensure clinical quality, patient safety, and system reliability, including validation requirements for digital file submissions and the operational resources needed to support consistent processing across workflows.
The iTero intraoral scanning platform is used globally by dental professionals across diverse treatment modalities, with millions of scans performed annually, reflecting its role in enabling a broad and competitive marketplace for digital dentistry solutions. Since 2018, the iTero scanner has been used by healthcare professionals to perform over 24 million restorative, wellness, and orthodontic scans.
The Commission’s step is purely procedural and allows it to gather information. It does not reflect a conclusion on the merits of the case, nor does it constitute an accusation or a finding of wrongdoing. The opening of an investigation does not prejudge its outcome.
Align is confident that any review of Align’s scanner and scan acceptance policies will reflect the robust and dynamic nature of the teeth-straightening market and believes its practices comply with applicable competition laws. We will cooperate fully and engage constructively with the Commission through the appropriate channels.
For nearly 30 years, Align Technology has helped transform a market long dominated by wires and brackets, offering meaningful choices to customers across Europe and around the world. By introducing innovative digital dentistry solutions that expand treatment possibilities for doctors and their patients, Align has helped doctors transform smiles and change lives for millions of patients, a testament to the value of innovation and better patient experience. What began as an innovation has grown into a widely accepted treatment category, one that now extends beyond Invisalign aligners and iTero scanners across a diverse and competitive ecosystem.
About Align Technology, Inc.
Align Technology designs and manufactures the Invisalign® System, the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, iTero™ intraoral scanners and services, and exocad™ CAD/CAM software. These technology building blocks enable enhanced digital orthodontic and restorative workflows to improve patient outcomes and practice efficiencies for approximately 299.5 thousand doctor customers and are key to accessing Align’s 600 million consumer market opportunity worldwide.

Kaspa spustila na mainnetu hard fork Toccata 30. června 2026, při DAA skóre 474 165 565 a přibližně v 16:15 UTC, který přidává nativní podporu pro covenanty, transaction introspection a zero-knowledge ověřování na L1. Projekt tím míří od čistě platební sítě k programovatelnosti.
Kaspa Crosses Into Programmable TerritoryKaspa's Toccata hard fork went live on mainnet on June 30, 2026, marking what the project describes as the biggest upgrade in its history. The hard fork activated at DAA score 474,165,565, roughly at 16:15 UTC. The upgrade draws a clear line between what Kaspa was and what it is now becoming: a chain that started as a high-speed payments network and is now reaching for full programmability at the base layer.
Toccata marks the point where Kaspa's high-frequency monetary base layer meets programmability in two layered forms: native L1 covenant systems, and based zero-knowledge systems built on top of the same foundations. That is a significant departure from Kaspa's original identity as a pure proof-of-work payments chain.
What Toccata Actually DeliversThe consensus-changing upgrade introduces native L1 covenant support and transaction introspection, allowing for expressive stateful contracts on $KAS, alongside an OpZkPrecompile for trustless L1 ZK proof verification and partitioned sequencing commitments to support ZK applications.
The upgrade introduces native KRC-20 tokens, covenant programming via SilverScript, and zero-knowledge verification directly on the base layer, designed to shift the network's appeal from pure transaction speed toward supporting application development and privacy-enhanced use cases.
The fork does not, however, ship finished applications. It lays the protocol infrastructure that developers need to build on top. The upgrade activates the protocol infrastructure for covenant-based Layer-1 applications and zero-knowledge systems anchored to Kaspa's BlockDAG. The race now begins for what actually gets built.
The hard fork brings new utility, which means new SDKs and APIs will increasingly target a new developer audience, while classic Kaspa APIs should continue working without change. For node operators and miners, the operational story is straightforward: upgrade nodes, and everything that already works should keep working.
Toccata follows Kaspa's Crescendo hard fork, which in May 2025 increased block production from one block per second to ten blocks per second, achieving one of the highest base-layer throughputs in the proof-of-work space. The question now is whether Toccata's programmability layer can attract the developer activity needed to match that technical foundation.

Nejvyšší soud USA přijal odvolání Apple v právním sporu s Epic Games kvůli tomu, zda firma porušila soudní příkaz ohledně App Store. Případ se má projednat v říjnovém termínu soudu.
The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday (June 30) to hear Apple’s appeal of a lower court ruling that found the company in contempt in its legal battle with Epic Games, Reuters reported Tuesday (June 30).
The ruling that Apple was in contempt came because the judge found that the company violated a judicial order requiring it to make extensive changes to its app store after Epic Games brought an antitrust action against the company, according to the report.
PYMNTS reported in April that the court battle began in 2020 over whether Epic Games could add external payments in its app, enabling the company to bypass the fees charged by Apple’s App Store.
According to the Tuesday report, Apple has argued that it cannot be held in contempt for violating the “spirit” of a court injunction, as opposed to an express provision, and the company has denied that it violated any earlier court orders.
The Supreme Court is expected to hear the case during its term that begins in October, per the report.
Ars Technica reported Tuesday that when announcing it would hear the appeal, the Supreme Court said it would consider “whether a court may hold a party in civil contempt based on a violation of an injunction’s ‘spirit’ where the injunction is silent as to the conduct upon which contempt is based, as the Ninth Circuit holds; or, instead, whether a court must ground a finding of civil contempt on the violation of an order that clearly and unambiguously proscribes the precise conduct at issue, as other circuits hold.”
Apple told Reuters: “This is an important question of law, and we are pleased the Supreme Court will hear our case.”
Epic Games said in a Tuesday post on X: “We’re heading to the Supreme Court where we’ll continue our fight against junk fees Apple charges on third-party payments. Lower courts have rightly found Apple’s fees to be illegal and anticompetitive and we’ll continue to defend free markets.”
Microsoft chystá další kolo propouštění, které zasáhne tisíce míst včetně prodejního oddělení, poradenství a divize Xbox. Opatření má být menší než loňské a bude se týkat méně než 2,5 % z 220 000 zaměstnanců.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. JASON REDMOND/AFP via Getty Images Microsoft is planning to announce job cuts soon as the tech giant continues efforts to control costs, according to people familiar with the situation.
The cuts are expected to impact thousands of roles, including sales and consulting, in addition to jobs at the Xbox gaming division, the people said.
This round will be smaller than similar layoffs last year. This time, the cuts will be less than 2.5% of the company's 220,000-person workforce, the people added. They asked not to be identified discussing sensitive matters.
The company is planning to announce the layoffs next week, although the exact timing could change. Some affected employees will be offered new roles immediately, one of the people said.
In previous years, Microsoft has sometimes cut jobs around the start of its new fiscal year on July 1. Last year, the company eliminated 6,000 roles in May and an additional 9,000 employees, or about 4% of the company's workforce, in July.
The plans underscore Microsoft's moves to rein in costs as it ramps up spending on AI. The company has also been under pressure from Wall Street over concern that AI could replace software services, including, in theory, some Microsoft offerings. The stock has slumped about 17% in the past month.
Microsoft earlier this year announced a voluntary retirement program offering buyouts to employees level 67 and below in the US who had 70 or more years of age and service. About 7% of Microsoft's 125,000 US workforce, or nearly 9,000 employees, was eligible.
About one-third of eligible employees took the buyout, in line with expectations, one of the people said. That allowed Microsoft to cut a lower percentage of its workforce compared to last year, this person added.
Sales employees with commission-based compensation were excluded from this retirement buyout offer, according to an internal document viewed by Business Insider.
Xbox layoffs have been expected since new gaming CEO Asha Sharma sent a memo to employees calling for a "reset" for this business.

Nike (NKE - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.2 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.11 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.14 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +82.48%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this athletic apparel maker would post earnings of $0.29 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.35, delivering a surprise of +20.69%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Nike, which belongs to the Zacks Shoes and Retail Apparel industry, posted revenues of $10.97 billion for the quarter ended May 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.13%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $11.1 billion. 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.
Nike shares have lost about 34.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.7%.
What's Next for Nike?While Nike 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 Nike 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.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.46 on $11.42 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.83 on $46.57 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well.

Šéf Micronu Sanjay Mehrotra uvedl, že tvrdé vyjednávání zákazníků o cenách přispělo k nedostatku paměťových čipů a k podinvestování odvětví před boomem AI. Micron proto dál investuje zhruba 200 miliard USD do výroby a vývoje.
Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said Tuesday that memory chipmakers aren't the only ones to blame for the current supply-and-demand imbalance, which has recently led to price hikes for smartphones, computers and other consumer electronics.
Customers who drove a hard bargain in pricing in recent years also contributed to the squeeze, Mehrotra argued, suggesting that left the industry underinvested for the artificial intelligence boom.
"Certain customers drove pricing significantly down in our industry," Mehrotra told Jim Cramer on CNBC's "Mad Money" on Tuesday. "In 2023, our prices came down to one-third of what they were."
The collapse in pricing, Mehrotra said, pushed Micron and other memory suppliers into negative gross margins, leaving much of the industry without the financial flexibility to invest in new manufacturing capacity just as artificial intelligence-driven demand began accelerating. Micron's gross margin fell to negative 7.3% in its fiscal 2023, which ended in August of that year, according to FactSet.
"Companies were losing money. They couldn't afford it," he said. "That really impacted the investment capability of the industry."
Micron continued investing through the downturn, the CEO said. "Of course, those investments were significantly cut back from the year prior." Micron's capital expenditures fell to $7.7 billion in fiscal 2023, down from $12.1 billion in the prior year.
AI-driven demand for memory chips has steadily increased since that 2023 downturn in pricing. The acceleration became more apparent last year, boosting Micron's financial performance. But it has gone to another level in 2026, propelling Micron into one of the stock market's biggest winners. The stock climbed more than 240% in the second quarter and added more than $920 billion in market value, putting Micron's market capitalization at roughly $1.3 trillion.
Mehrotra said that the supply crunch is likely to persist well beyond 2027 because new semiconductor fabrication plants take years to build and next-generation memory has become significantly more complex to manufacture. To help close the gap, Mehrotra said Micron is investing roughly $200 billion in manufacturing and R&D, including new memory fabs in Boise, Idaho and Syracuse, New York. The Boise project is furthest along, the CEO said, with the first chips due out "in the middle of next year" and increasing from there. The Boise site is slated to eventually include two fabs.
The shortage is already being felt beyond the semiconductor industry. Last week, Apple raised prices on several Mac and iPad models after CEO Tim Cook said soaring memory and storage costs had become "unavoidable," underscoring how AI-driven demand is pushing higher component costs into consumer electronics.
In the latest trading session, Occidental Petroleum (OXY - Free Report) closed at $48.57, marking a -1.06% move from the previous day. The stock fell short of the S&P 500, which registered a gain of 0.79% for the day. Meanwhile, the Dow experienced a rise of 0.26%, and the technology-dominated Nasdaq saw an increase of 1.52%.
The oil and gas exploration and production company's stock has dropped by 16.68% in the past month, falling short of the Oils-Energy sector's loss of 4.84% and the S&P 500's loss of 1.82%.
The investment community will be paying close attention to the earnings performance of Occidental Petroleum in its upcoming release.

Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $7.23 billion, up 11.96% from the prior-year quarter.
OXY's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $5.95 per share and revenue of $25.57 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +169.23% and +0.5%, respectively.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for Occidental Petroleum. These latest adjustments often mirror the shifting dynamics of short-term business patterns.

Strike získal plnou autorizaci jako poskytovatel kryptoaktiv od maltské MFSA a může díky pasportaci působit napříč EU. Licence přichází před koncem přechodného období MiCA 1. července 2026.
Strike just threaded the needle. The Bitcoin-focused payments app, founded by Jack Mallers, announced that its European subsidiary, Zap (Strike) Europe Limited, has received full authorization as a crypto-asset service provider from Malta’s Financial Services Authority. The timing is not subtle: the EU’s MiCA transitional period ends on July 1, 2026, meaning any firm without proper authorization will be forced to stop operating across the bloc.
The MiCA bottleneck The Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation is the EU’s first attempt at building a unified rulebook for crypto service providers across all 27 member states. MiCA covers authorization requirements, consumer protections, and operational conduct standards, replacing the prior system of fragmented national rules.

Out of more than 1,200 registered crypto entities across the EU and European Economic Area, only around 230 to 244 have actually secured full MiCA authorization as of June 2026. That’s roughly a 20% pass rate. The European Securities and Markets Authority made clear there would be no extensions to the transitional period. July 1 is a hard wall, meaning roughly 1,000 previously registered entities are staring down forced operational wind-downs.
Strike’s authorization through Malta’s MFSA gives it passporting rights across the entire bloc. One license, 27 countries.
Strike’s European play Strike began serving eligible European customers back in April 2024, operating under the pre-MiCA patchwork of national regulations. This new authorization replaces that prior arrangement with a single, standardized credential.
The app specializes in Bitcoin-specific services: buying, selling, and payments, with a particular focus on the Lightning Network for faster, cheaper transactions. Jack Mallers has long positioned Strike as a bridge between traditional finance and Bitcoin’s payment rails, particularly through Lightning Network integration. The European authorization extends that thesis to a market of roughly 450 million people.

Roblox čelí hromadné žalobě po prudkém zpomalení meziročního i mezikvartálního růstu denních aktivních uživatelů a snížení výhledu tržeb i bookings. Akcie spadly o 18 % a tržní kapitalizace se propadla o více než 6,7 miliardy USD.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roblox Corporation (NYSE: RBLX) faces a securities class action lawsuit after its April 30, 2026 Q1 2026 report indicating a surprisingly large sequential decline in daily active users (“DAUs”) tempered by its age-check rollout. The news drove the price of Roblox shares down $10.13 (-18%) the next trading day and erased over $6.7 billion from the company’s market capitalization.
The lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Roblox common stock between October 30, 2025 and April 30, 2026.
National shareholder rights firm Hagens Berman is investigating the legal claims that Roblox and its co-defendants violated the federal securities laws. The firm encourages Roblox investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now.
Class Period: Oct. 30, 2025 – Apr. 30, 2026
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: Aug. 7, 2026

Roblox Corporation (RBLX) Securities Class Action:
The primary focus of the litigation is on the propriety of Roblox’s disclosures about the impact on its business and prospects of the age-check verification rollout aimed at increasing safety within certain social features on its platform. The rollout began in November 2025.
Throughout the Class Period, Roblox has characterized its rollout as the “gold standard” intended to be implemented with “no friction.” The company has also touted its high year-over-year DAU growth and related revenue and bookings growth.
As recently as February 5, 2026, during Roblox’s Q4 2025 earnings call, CEO David Baszucki responded to an analyst’s question about additional detail about the age-check rollout, assuring investors that “[w]e’re very excited and proud of the way our age verification rollout has gone” and “we found so many other opportunities for optimization that I’m very pleased and happy about the way the rollout has gone.”
The complaint alleges that Roblox made false and misleading statements while failing to disclose important information to investors about the true state of the company’s growth potential. More specifically, the complaint alleges that Roblox would see significant growth slowdown as enrollments in its age-check rollout would quickly taper, compounding the resulting slowdown in on-line platform communication and resulting in app store rating reductions and a swift reduction in organic growth.
The truth entered the market on April 30, 2026. That day, Roblox reported its Q1 2026 financial results, revealed a steep deceleration in year-over-year and sequential DAU growth, slashed its 2026 revenue guidance (reflecting ongoing shrinkage in DAU growth), and severely cut its 2026 bookings growth midpoint from 24% to just 10%.
The company blamed its adverse situation on just 51% of Roblox global DAUs having age checked and further revealed that “as a result of age check […] we have seen a reduction in app store ratings, and we believe this may be contributing to a reduction in organic sign-ups that typically flow from app stores.” Roblox also said its lowered prospects are the result of “continued friction” resulting from the age-check rollout.
“We’re focused on when Roblox and its management knew of the adverse consequences of the age-check rollout and whether they intentionally misled investors,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.
If you invested in Roblox and have substantial losses, or have knowledge that will assist the firm’s investigation, submit your losses now.

The perpetuals exchange will start burning the LIT it buys with revenue and tap its token reserve to keep staking yields flowing.
Lighter, one of the largest decentralized perpetuals exchanges by trading volume, said it will start permanently burning the LIT tokens it buys back with exchange revenue and will fund staking rewards from its ecosystem token reserve.
Lighter has bought back about 15.5 million LIT — roughly 6.3% of circulating supply — using exchange revenue since its token generation event, the company said in an X post Tuesday. Those tokens will now be withdrawn from the exchange and sent to a burn address on Ethereum mainnet, with the first burn set for the weeks after the end of the second quarter.
Separately, Lighter will begin paying staking rewards from its remaining ecosystem tokens, targeting an initial 6% annualized yield. With about 125 million LIT staked, that yield would distribute roughly 7.5 million LIT a year from a remaining reserve of 250 million.
The changes pull in two directions on supply. Burning bought-back tokens removes them from circulation, while paying staking yield from the reserve releases tokens that were not yet circulating, partly offsetting the burns. The update also answers requests from holders for clarity on what happens to the LIT the protocol repurchases, a recurring question across perpetuals exchanges that run buybacks.
Lighter briefly overtook Hyperliquid in monthly perpetuals volume around its December launch, when airdrop incentives pulled traders to its zero-fee order book. Activity has since cooled as those incentives wound down, which puts more weight on whether the token's economics can sustain demand on their own.
LIT rose about 2% over 24 hours and is up roughly 20% over the past week and about 39% over the past 30 days, outpacing Bitcoin, which fell almost 3% over the past day and about 20% over the past month, according to CoinGecko. The token trades near $1.84, about 77% below its record high. Its market capitalization is around $461 million; its fully diluted valuation, which counts the full one billion token supply against the 250 million now circulating, is roughly $1.84 billion.
Buybacks Become BurnsLighter had been buying LIT on the open market with exchange revenue since its token launch at the end of December, but had not committed to destroying the tokens. It said Tuesday that the buybacks will now reduce supply permanently through burns, executed by sending LIT to an Ethereum burn address.
The exchange flagged one mechanical caveat: the tokens it burns may be undistributed LIT rather than the exact tokens it repurchased, an approach it said is economically equivalent for holders and cheaper to administer.
The buybacks are funded by trading activity. Lighter has generated about $2.87 million in protocol revenue over the past 30 days and roughly $53 million since launch, according to DefiLlama.
Continued Exchange RevenueThe burn program depends on continued exchange revenue to fund the buybacks, and revenue has been modest relative to the token's valuation.
Funding staking from the 250 million-token reserve also draws down a finite pool; that reserve could deplete faster if revenue weakens or staking participation climbs, and the 6% target is not fixed.
Lighter said it will execute the first burn in the weeks after the close of the second quarter, a milestone holders will be able to verify onchain.
Staking Shifts to the ReserveLighter launched its staking program in January and has distributed about 3.72 million LIT to stakers so far, including roughly 170,000 LIT from a fee-credits program.
Those rewards were bootstrapped with pre-launch revenue while exchange income was directed entirely toward buybacks. Effective immediately, the protocol will instead draw on ecosystem tokens, which it said is a more aligned use because the rewards flow to holders with the longest time horizons.
The targeted 6% yield is denominated in LIT and can be adjusted at the team's discretion based on market conditions, protocol performance and sustainability, Lighter said. At about 125 million LIT staked, roughly half of circulating supply is committed to the program.
Lighter laid out four priorities for managing its treasury going forward: rewarding long-term stakers, reducing supply through burns, preserving tokens for future partnerships and growth programs, and stewarding the reserve for long-term value. The company said its ecosystem tokens exist to grow the protocol, deepen liquidity and reward users.

NEW YORK, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of DXC Technology Company (“DXC” or the “Company”) (NYSE: DXC). Such investors are advised to contact Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or 646-581-9980, ext. 7980.

On May 7, 2026, after the market closed, DXC reported its fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026 financial results. The Company reported total revenue of approximately $3.13 billion for the fourth quarter, representing a 1.2% year-over-year decline and a 6.6% decline on an organic basis. DXC also reported fourth quarter bookings of approximately $3.3 billion, down 13.5% year over year. During the accompanying earnings call, management disclosed that DXC’s top-line performance fell short of expectations. The Company stated that it missed its organic revenue guidance by approximately $75 million, or two percentage points, and that this was not just a pipeline and demand issue, but also an execution issue. DXC also issued fiscal year 2027 guidance projecting continued organic revenue decline of approximately 3% to 5% year over year.
On this news, DXC’s stock price fell $2.58 per share, or 21.48%, to close at $9.43 per share on May 8, 2026.

HARTFORD, Conn. and BOSTON, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eversource Energy (NYSE:ES) (“Eversource”) today announced that it has successfully completed the sale of Aquarion Water Company (“AWC”), consistent with all regulatory terms and requirements, to Aquarion Water Authority (“AWA”), a quasi-public corporation and political subdivision of the State of Connecticut and a standalone water authority alongside the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority (“RWA”). The total transaction purchase price was $2.4 billion cash. The adjusted net equity proceeds of approximately $1.7 billion will be used to displace Eversource debt, delivering on our commitment to strengthen the Eversource balance sheet.
On January 27, 2025, Eversource entered a definitive agreement to sell AWC to AWA. The sale was approved by the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority on March 25, 2026.
“We are pleased to close this transaction, which is a key piece of our commitment to further strengthen our balance sheet and credit profile,” said Eversource Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer John Moreira. “The sale of Aquarion constitutes a significant milestone in furthering our strategic position as a pure-play regulated pipes and wires utility, allowing us to optimize our portfolio by focusing on our core electric and natural gas operations across New England while efficiently reinvesting capital for the benefit of our customers. As we continue to collaborate with stakeholders across our service territories in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire to deliver cost-effective solutions that ensure safe, reliable electric and natural gas service for our customers, we are confident that Aquarion’s operational success, sound management and financial stewardship will continue under the new authority model – benefitting residents, businesses and communities for years to come.”
As a result of the sale, Eversource expects to recognize an after-tax non-cash non-recurring charge of approximately $115 million, or $0.31 per share, in the second quarter of 2026. The Company's revised 2026 non-GAAP guidance of $4.57 per share to $4.72 per share includes the impact of the absence of Aquarion earnings. The Company continues to expect that its cumulative long-term earnings per share growth rate would be within the range of 5 to 7 percent through 2030, using the adjusted 2026 non-GAAP earnings guidance mid-point of $4.65 per share as the base year. The Company expects annual earnings growth towards the upper half of its long-term guidance by 2028.
Citi and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC served as financial advisors to Eversource Energy. Ropes & Gray LLP served as legal counsel to Eversource Energy.
This release includes financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) referencing earnings and EPS excluding the loss on sale of the Aquarion water distribution business and excluding a charge for the March 2026 FERC decision in the FERC base ROE complaints. EPS by business is also a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing the Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders of each business by the weighted average diluted Eversource Energy common shares outstanding for the period. The earnings and EPS of each business do not represent a direct legal interest in the assets and liabilities of such business but rather represent a direct interest in Eversource Energy’s assets and liabilities as a whole. Eversource Energy uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and provide details of earnings results by business and to more fully compare and explain results without including these items. This information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance and planning and forecasting of future periods. Management believes the loss on sale of the Aquarion water distribution business and the charge for the March 2026 FERC decision in the FERC base ROE complaints are not indicative of Eversource Energy’s ongoing costs and performance. Management views these charges as not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business and therefore not indicators of baseline operating performance. Due to the nature and significance of the effect of these items on Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and EPS, management believes that the non-GAAP presentation is a more meaningful representation of Eversource Energy’s financial performance and provides additional and useful information to readers of this report in analyzing historical and future performance of the business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to reported Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and EPS determined in accordance with GAAP as indicators of Eversource Energy's operating performance. Eversource Energy does not provide a reconciliation of guidance from non-GAAP recurring earnings or non-GAAP recurring EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because it is not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders or recurring EPS for the year ending December 31, 2026. These items are uncertain, depend on many factors and could have a material impact on Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and recurring EPS for the year ending December 31, 2026, and therefore cannot be made available without unreasonable effort.
This release also includes statements concerning Eversource Energy’s expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, assumptions of future events, future financial performance or growth and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws.

Primoris čelí vyšetřování kvůli možnému podvodu s cennými papíry poté, co snížila celoroční upravený výhled EBITDA a upozornila na další problémy v podnikání Renewables.
NEW YORK, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Primoris Services Corporation (“Primoris” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PRIM). Such investors are advised to contact Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or 646-581-9980, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether Primoris and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
[Click here for information about joining the class action]
On May 5, 2026, Primoris issued a press release reporting its financial results for the first quarter of 2026. Primoris reported results below analyst expectations and slashed full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance from $560-$580 million to $480-$500 million. Primoris attributed the reduction to lower renewable energy activity, delayed project starts, and increased costs on renewable energy projects.
On this news, Primoris’s stock price fell $101.69 per share, or 50.11%, to close at $101.23 per share on May 6, 2026.

Archer Aviation má jen dva testovací stroje a jeden plnohodnotný Midnight, přesto má backlog 6 mld. USD a asi 1 200 objednávek. Společnost stále čeká na plnou certifikaci FAA.
Archer Aviation (ACHR +1.07%), an early mover in the nascent market for electric vertical takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) aircraft, set a record high of $17.14 per share on Feb. 18, 2021. Today, it trades at less than $5. Is it time to sound the alarm on this fallen stock?
Why did Archer Aviation's stock crash? Before Archer went public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), it claimed it could produce 10 eVTOLs in 2024 and 250 eVTOLs in 2025. But as of this writing, it has only manufactured two test aircraft and one full-scale Midnight aircraft.
Image source: Archer Aviation.
The Midnight can carry a single pilot and four passengers, travel up to 100 miles, and reach a maximum speed of 150 miles per hour. However, it has a lower top speed and a shorter range than Joby Aviation's (JOBY +3.36%) S4 eVTOL. Joby is also further along in the FAA certification process for its U.S. commercial flights than Archer.
Those setbacks -- along with its lack of meaningful revenue, steep losses, and high valuation -- make Archer a less appealing eVTOL stock than Joby. However, Archer's indicative (non-committal) backlog still swelled to $6 billion at the end of 2025 with pending orders for roughly 1,200 aircraft. Its biggest investor, Stellantis, still plans to help the company ramp up its production after the FAA fully certifies its first commercial flights.
Archer's early customers include United Airlines and Abu Dhabi Aviation, which will use the Midnight for last-mile "airport to home" air taxi flights, and Andruil, which has been co-developing a hybrid eVTOL defense aircraft with the company. Archer believes it can eventually produce 650 aircraft annually with Stellantis after the FAA greenlights its first flights.
Unlike Joby, which will mainly sell its own first-party eVTOLs, Archer plans to produce eVTOLs for third-party customers. Both companies will launch their own first-party air taxi services, but Uber will directly integrate Joby's flights into its Uber Air platform.

It's too early to sound the alarm Archer's progress is sluggish, and it has clear disadvantages against Joby. But from 2026 to 2028, analysts expect its revenue to rise from $9.5 million to $428.4 million as it ramps up its production. With a market cap of $3.6 billion, it still looks reasonably valued at 7 times its 2028 sales. Joby, with a market cap of $8.5 billion, looks pricier at 19 times its 2028 sales.
Archer's stock probably won't rally until the FAA fully certifies its first commercial flights, but its downside should be limited. Rather than sounding the alarm and declaring it's time to sell, it's probably better to wait and see if it can deliver more eVTOLs over the next few years.

Intuitive Machines získala od NASA pevnou zakázku až za 148,3 milionu USD na dodání landeru Nova-C na Měsíc nejpozději do roku 2028. Jde o šestý úkol v rámci programu CLPS.
HOUSTON, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intuitive Machines, Inc. (Nasdaq: LUNR) (“Intuitive Machines”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), a space technology, infrastructure, and services leader, today announced it has received a firm-fixed-price contract from NASA valued at up to $148.3 million to deliver a production-line-qualified Nova-C lander to the Moon no later than 2028. The award reinforces NASA’s accelerated schedule for lunar surface deliveries and helps proliferate Moon Base operational sites in support of Artemis.
Pictured: Intuitive Machines’ production-line-qualified Nova-C landers, including IM-2 which is being loaded for transport while IM-3 is in the background in development.
By scaling manufacturing processes to support high-volume production, Intuitive Machines is creating a standardized and repeatable lunar transport utility service. Intuitive Machines’ high-velocity pipeline helps establish the foundational infrastructure required to support NASA’s Moon Base and expand operational sites across the lunar environment.
“We are shifting the paradigm from custom aerospace engineering to commercial mass production of lunar infrastructure,” said Intuitive Machines CEO, Steve Altemus. “Our flight-proven Nova-C platform allows us to build, test, and deploy multiple landers in parallel using industry 4.0-powered manufacturing. This contract directly advances our core mission to provide persistent, reliable, and commercial baseline of transport, connectivity, and operations that allows our customers to stay longer and achieve more on the Moon.”
This award directly expands Intuitive Machines’ space infrastructure footprint, reinforcing the Company’s unique capability to connect resilient navigation networks and operate systems seamlessly across cislunar space. The financial framework of the award includes:
A $68.6 million base contract for mission execution utilizing a lander with proven lunar flight heritage.A $79.7 million performance incentive for the successful demonstration of product-line qualification, guaranteeing a steady, rapid-turnaround supply of landers. Under this award, Intuitive Machines will deliver essential scientific and operational payloads to the lunar surface. These include advanced stereo cameras to analyze surface-plume interactions (SCALPSS), a laser retroreflector array (LRA) for precise cislunar positioning, and a Linear Energy Transfer Spectrometer (LETS) radiation monitor to gather critical environmental safety data.
With this sixth Commercial Lunar Payload Services task order, Intuitive Machines solidifies its position as a primary commercial logistics and transport pipeline to the lunar surface. By managing a large share of commercial lander volume, the Company validates its role as a foundational access layer serving civil, national security, and commercial clients alike.

AWS oznámila miliardové iniciativy pro veřejný sektor v cloudu a AI, včetně 1 miliardy USD pro americkou zpravodajskou komunitu a 1 miliardy USD do globálního programu Forward Deployed Engineering.
Amazon has announced several multi-billion dollar cloud/artificial intelligence (AI)-focused public sector initiatives.
The announcements, made Tuesday (June 30) at the 2026 Amazon Web Services (AWS) Summit in Washington, D.C, include specialized infrastructure for defense contractors, migration incentives for intelligence agencies, and a global engineering program for AI deployment.
Among the initiatives is a $1 billion cloud incentive program for the U.S. intelligence community. While AWS is the intelligence services longest-running cloud partner, many workloads have yet to migrate, leading to the launch of this program to “eliminate the migration costs that have kept some locked in on-premises systems.”
In the defense sector, AWS has introduced its Secret Cloud for Industry (ASCI), designed to let defense contractors run contractor-owned classified workloads on the same AWS infrastructure trusted by the Pentagon, “in their own physically and logically isolated environment purpose-built to meet the most demanding security and compliance requirements.”
AWS will also invest $1 billion in Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE), a new global organization that will put thousands of engineers on-site with customers to co-develop AI solutions. This program is aimed at accelerating the development of AI applications from months into days.
“At the center is the AI-Driven Development Lifecycle, a new approach to software development that combines AI-powered execution with human oversight and dynamic team collaboration that builds intelligence for a customer’s next project,” the company said.
In other Amazon news, PYMNTS wrote recently about how the company and rival Walmart had moved past the battle for consumer spending in search of something “even more consequential:” making themselves into the operating systems between shoppers, brands, advertisers and commerce infrastructure.
For Amazon, the report said, that means things like continuing to promote Prime Day as a membership and ecosystem engine rather than merely a shopping event.
For Walmart, it means the expansion of the company’s retail media ambitions via a new partnership with Google and YouTube, offering advertisers more access to Walmart shopper data and closed-loop measurement capabilities.
“Individually, these stories appear disconnected,” the report added. “Collectively, they point toward a single conclusion: the future of retail may depend less on who sells products and more on who controls the systems that influence how products are discovered, marketed and purchased. Amazon found those opportunities in cloud computing, advertising and subscriptions. Walmart sees them in advertising, marketplace services, memberships and data monetization.”

Nike ve 4. čtvrtletí vykázala EPS 0,72 USD a tržby 10,97 miliardy USD, obojí nad odhady. Hrubá marže vyskočila na 49,2 % hlavně díky jednorázovému tarifu, který přidal zhruba 890 bazických bodů.

Nike’s reported $0.72 EPS looks like a massive beat versus Wall Street’s $0.12 estimate, but investors should understand what drove the result.
The company said fourth-quarter earnings included a $986 million benefit from the recovery of tariffs. That one-time item added approximately $0.52 per share to diluted EPS and boosted gross margin by roughly 900 basis points.
Adjusting for that benefit paints a different picture:
Reported EPS: $0.72 Less one-time tariff recovery: $0.52 Adjusted core EPS: $0.20 Likewise, Nike’s reported 49.2% gross margin falls to roughly 40.2% after excluding the tariff-related benefit.
The quarter was still better than expected, but the headline earnings number significantly overstates the underlying improvement in Nike’s core business. Going forward, investors will likely focus on whether Nike can generate sustainable revenue growth and margin expansion without similar tailwinds.

Nike’s revenue trends showed a business still navigating a challenging consumer environment, with some encouraging pockets of strength. Fourth-quarter revenue totaled $11.0 billion, down 1% from a year ago, as continued weakness in Greater China and EMEA weighed on overall results.
Underneath the surface, however, the sales mix tells a more nuanced story. Wholesale revenue increased 4% to $6.6 billion, driven primarily by growth in North America, while Nike Direct revenue declined 7% to $4.1 billion.
Management said Nike Brand Digital sales fell 12%, while revenue from Nike-owned stores decreased 7%, reflecting continued pressure across its direct-to-consumer business.
Overall, Nike Brand revenue slipped just 0.4% year over year, suggesting the company’s core product portfolio is beginning to stabilize even as certain regions remain under pressure.
Investors will likely be watching upcoming quarters to see whether wholesale momentum continues and whether digital sales can return to growth as Nike’s turnaround progresses.

While investors will naturally focus on Nike’s earnings beat, the biggest driver of the quarter was a dramatic improvement in profitability. Gross margin jumped 890 basis points to 49.2%, with the company attributing most of the increase to the expected recovery of International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs.
According to Nike, the tariff recovery contributed roughly 900 basis points of gross margin benefit during the quarter and added approximately $0.52 per diluted share to earnings.
That helps explain why EPS came in at $0.72, crushing Wall Street’s $0.12 expectation despite revenue remaining under pressure.
Investors will now be listening closely on the conference call to determine how much of this margin improvement represents a one-time benefit versus a more durable improvement in Nike’s earnings power. If margins remain elevated even as sales recover, it could meaningfully improve the company’s profitability heading into fiscal 2027.

Beyond the bull/bear setup, four wildcards aren’t fully reflected in the $0.11 consensus.
Four Wild Cards Hiding in Tonight’s Report KeyCorp’s eleventh-hour cut: At 12:13 PM ET today, KeyCorp slashed its Q4 estimate from $0.29 to $0.12, resetting the bar hours before the release. CFO transition: Matthew Friend is stepping down, with former Pfizer CFO David M. Denton taking over. Expect commentary on capital allocation and guidance philosophy. Tax rate normalization: The effective tax rate jumped to 20.0% from 5.9%, a swing that could cut either way on EPS. Dow removal risk: Nike is reportedly on “thin ice” for index removal, an overhang amplifying any soft commentary. With shares at $41.10, sentiment is fragile.

After falling from roughly $180 at its 2021 peak to around the $40 range, Nike stock now trades at about 22x forward earnings and is approaching 1x trailing sales, a valuation the company hasn’t seen since the depths of the 2008-09 financial crisis.
Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Nike didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
The question is whether the business can grow into that valuation. Analysts currently expect 22% EPS growth in fiscal 2027, even though revenue is projected to be essentially flat.
If management can show investors that North America is stabilizing, China is improving, and revenue growth is finally returning, the market may begin to price Nike as a recovery story rather than a company still searching for a bottom.

Nike’s turnaround ultimately comes down to driving revenue growth again.
The company has posted year-over-year revenue declines in six of its last nine quarters, while analysts currently expect another 2% sales decline this quarter.
Investors have shown they’re willing to look past near-term margin pressure, but they need evidence that demand is stabilizing.
For a brand as mature as Nike, sustained revenue growth is likely the clearest signal that the business has turned the corner and will be top of mind among investors tonight.

Nike has already laid out much of its turnaround strategy, making tonight’s earnings report an important bridge to the company’s fall Investor Day.
CEO Elliott Hill recently said the company’s “Win Now” initiatives remain on track to be substantially completed by year-end, with full long-term financial guidance expected this fall.
While analysts expect Nike to earn just $0.11 per share, the bigger key questions for the business are whether gross margins continue to recover, whether sales trends in China show signs of stabilizing, and whether management strikes a confident tone about the pace of the turnaround.
CEO Hill’s recent open-market stock purchase has also raised expectations that leadership believes the business is approaching an inflection point. If Nike can pair solid execution with a constructive outlook, investor sentiment could finally begin catching up with the company’s improving operating fundamentals.
Investors are watching Nike (NYSE:NKE) ahead of fiscal Q4 2026 results due at 4:15 PM ET after the market closes today. With shares down 33.87% year-to-date, this report has to give Nike’s turnaround story a pulse and could offer promising guidance for fiscal 2027.
The Comeback Hits Its Toughest Test CEO Elliott Hill called fiscal 2026 the “middle innings” of Nike’s comeback, and the last report showed why. Q3 revenue was flat on a reported basis, EPS of $0.35 beat the $0.28 consensus, and gross margin declined 130 basis points to 40.2% on a 300 basis point tariff hit in North America.
Since then, shares are down 9.47% over the past month and trade near a 52-week low of $40.00, well below the 200-day moving average of $57.94. Despite the decline, CEO Elliot Hill bought 47,320 shares on April 13 at roughly $42.27, joined by directors Tim Cook, John Rogers, and Bob Swan.
Consensus Estimates Metric Q4 FY26 Estimate Prior Year EPS $0.11 $0.14 Revenue trajectory (company guide) Down 2% to 4% — FY26 EPS (TTM) $1.52 diluted FY26 Revenue (TTM) $46.52B Tariffs, China, and the FY27 Setup Tonight, I’ll be watching three things. First, gross margin. CFO Matthew Friend guided Q4 margin down 25 to 75 basis points, including 250 basis points of tariff drag. He flagged Q2 fiscal 2027 as the last quarter of material tariff headwinds, so any commentary that tightens that timeline matters.
Second, Greater China. Friend told the Street to expect the region down approximately 20% in Q4 as Nike intentionally pulls sell-in to clean the marketplace. Q3 China revenue was down 10% with inventory down mid-teens. Investors will want to hear that profitability is bottoming out even as revenue continues to fall.
Third, North America momentum. Wholesale grew 11% in Q3 while Direct fell. Hill said the region saw positive growth in all channels for the first time in two years. Running was up over 20%. If those trends extend, the “Win Now” framework looks real.
Prediction markets price a 92% probability of an EPS beat, which would be the eighth quarter in a row. The harder question is the stock’s reaction. Nike has averaged a -3.71% one-week move after results.

EEOC podala na FedEx federální žalobu kvůli údajnému diskriminačnímu zacházení se čtyřmi balíkovými manipulanty a širší skupinou slepých zaměstnanců v Kernersville v Severní Karolíně. Úřad tvrdí, že firma neposkytla potřebná přiměřená opatření.
Federal agency says blind employees were denied reasonable accommodations needed to perform essential job duties The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has launched a federal lawsuit against Federal Express Corporation, alleging the delivery giant violated federal law by discriminating against blind employees at a North Carolina facility.
The federal agency claims that FedEx, formerly known as FedEx Ground Package Systems, Inc., failed to provide reasonable accommodations to four package handlers and a larger class of blind workers at its Kernersville location.
According to the lawsuit, denying the accommodations prevented the employees from performing their essential job functions and enjoying the same employment privileges as workers without disabilities.

In addition to the discrimination charges, the EEOC suit alleges FedEx failed to maintain required administrative records in compliance with federal law.

Chevron vyplácí forwardový dividendový výnos 4,2 % a zvyšuje dividendu už 39 let v řadě. Firma díky diverzifikaci a novým projektům očekává růst produkce ropy a plynu o 2 % až 3 % ročně do roku 2030.
Chevron (CVX 1.61%), one of the world's largest integrated energy companies, pays a forward dividend yield of 4.2%. It's raised its dividend annually for 39 consecutive years, putting it on track to become a Dividend King if it maintains that streak for 50 years in a row. Let's see why Chevron will remain a reliable income stock even as oil prices endure some volatile swings.
Image source: Getty Images.
What sets Chevron apart from its competitors? Chevron owns upstream exploration and extraction, midstream pipeline infrastructure, and downstream refining and chemical production businesses.
When oil prices rise, upstream businesses flourish as their revenue growth outpaces their expenses -- but downstream businesses can struggle with rising input costs. Declining oil prices can help downstream companies but hurt upstream ones. Midstream companies, which merely charge tolls for using their pipelines, can generate stable profits in both environments.
Chevron's scale and diversification across all three markets make it a more reliable, all-weather play on the energy market than stand-alone upstream, midstream, and downstream companies. It has a presence in 180 countries, but most of its oil and natural gas comes from the U.S., Kazakhstan, and Australia rather than the volatile Middle East.

Why is Chevron a reliable dividend stock? Over the past 12 months, Chevron spent 95% of its free cash flow (FCF) on its dividends. That high cash dividend payout might seem like a red flag, but the energy giant has plenty of ways to generate more cash. It's expanding its Tengiz Field in Kazakhstan, upgrading its main field in the Permian Basin, launching new deepwater projects in the Gulf of Mexico, increasing its natural gas production in Australia, and ramping up its presence in Guyana, one of the world's fastest-growing oil regions, through its recent acquisition of Hess.
Chevron expects those catalysts to boost its oil and gas production by 2%-3% annually through 2030. To achieve that expansion without crushing its margins, it aims to reduce its structural costs by $3 billion to $4 billion by the end of 2026. Analysts expect its adjusted EPS to nearly double this year, yet its stock still looks like a bargain at 11 times forward earnings.
Chevron's stock declined over the past month as oil prices pulled back, but it should easily weather the downturn and continue to raise its dividends. It's been a reliable income stock for nearly four decades, and it will remain a top energy dividend play for the foreseeable future.
Michael Burry oznámil první sázku na pokles Caterpillaru, protože podle něj je titul po AI rally výrazně nadhodnocený. Akcie letos vzrostly o 86 % a Burry je shortoval na úrovni 1 060,98 USD.
Michael Burry said Tuesday he has placed a bearish wager against Caterpillar, believing the construction-equipment maker has become one of the market's most overvalued beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence investment boom.
The famed investor said he shorted Caterpillar shares at $1,060.98, alongside new bearish positions in Nvidia, Applied Materials, Tesla and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX), as he prepared for what he believes is an increasingly overextended rally in AI-linked stocks.
"Caterpillar jumped out at me," Burry wrote in a Tuesday SubStack post. "I have never shorted Caterpillar. It has always done great for me on the long side in the past."
Caterpillar shares just capped off the first half of 2026 with an 86% gain, making the construction equipment giant one of the best-performing stocks in the S&P 500 this year as investors increasingly embraced it as a proxy for the global AI infrastructure buildout.
Caterpillar year to date
Burry said Caterpillar's stock valuation has reached levels that caught his attention. He shared a chart showing Caterpillar's price-to-sales ratio climbing to the highest level in at least three decades at the same time as the stock surged to record highs.
The investor, who famously predicted and profited from the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, also reiterated his broader concerns about semiconductor valuations. He said the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index is trading about 65% above its 200-day moving average, a level he said was only reached previously during the dot-com bubble in 2000.
"The proximate cause of today's rally is big spending announced out of Korea. Well, I see that as the beginning of the end," Burry said. "It is only a matter of time now."
NEW YORK, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against First Solar, Inc. (“First Solar” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FSLR) and certain officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and docketed under 26-cv-03787, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired First Solar securities between February 26, 2025 and February 24, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants’ violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.
If you are an investor who purchased or otherwise acquired First Solar securities during the Class Period, you have until August 24, 2026, to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class.

First Solar is a solar technology company that provides photovoltaic (“PV”) solar energy solutions. First Solar manufactures and sells PV solar modules that convert sunlight into electricity. As relevant here, First Solar’s product offerings include its Series 6 Plus PV module, manufactured at facilities in locations including Malaysia and Vietnam.
At the outset of the Class Period, Defendants announced that First Solar would reduce production output of Series 6 modules at facilities in Malaysia and Vietnam in 2025, to account for circumstances including, inter alia, an “uncertain U.S. policy environment following the 2024 U.S. elections,” and “a supply and demand imbalance for Southeast Asian product”. Notwithstanding these circumstances, First Solar reassured investors that its primary market, the United States, enjoyed stable module prices.
Then, on April 2, 2025, United States (“U.S.”) President Donald J. Trump announced a series of “reciprocal” tariffs on U.S. imports from all countries, including rates of 24% and 46% on Malaysia and Vietnam, respectively, presenting a challenge to First Solar. These tariffs were subsequently reduced to 10%. Throughout the Class Period, Defendants continued to assure investors that the dynamic policy landscape presented a “long term favorable” for First Solar and actually “strengthened [its] relative position in the solar manufacturing industry”.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Defendants had overstated First Solar’s capacity to manage the impact of U.S. tariff policy on the Company’s business; (ii) Defendants understated the extent to which its responses to U.S. tariff policy, including the intentional underutilization of production facilities in Malaysia and Vietnam, and attempted relocation of production to the U.S., were likely to negatively impact First Solar’s projected performance in the 2026 fiscal year; and (iii) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
The truth began to emerge on January 7, 2026, when Jefferies downgraded First Solar to Hold from Buy, noting that during 2025, the Company had lowered guidance, faced significant de-bookings and experienced margin compression through 2025. Jefferies also flagged that “[international] facilities remain a pain point while tariffs exist” and “underutilization at [international] facilities remains a concern.” The Jefferies analyst also predicted that First Solar’s deployment opportunities were likely to be more limited in 2026.
On this news, First Solar’s stock price fell $27.67 per share, or 10.29%, to close at $241.11 per share on January 7, 2026.
Then, on February 24, 2026, First Solar issued a press release “announc[ing] financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.” Among other items, First Solar announced earnings that missed expectations by a wide margin and issued lower-than-expected FY 2026 revenue guidance, citing customer headwinds such as permitting delays under the Trump administration. Following First Solar’s announcement, Baird Research downgraded its stock to Neutral from Outperform, citing “several question marks in forward outlook”.
On this news, First Solar’s stock price fell $33.09 per share, or 13.61%, to close at $210.12 per share on February 25, 2026.

Roblox podle watchdogu zobrazoval dětem už od 5 let reklamy na kofeinové chipsy Banger, přestože jeho politika zakazuje reklamy na jídlo a nápoje dětem do 13 let. Firma je po zjištění okamžitě stáhla.
Ads on the wildly popular video game platform Roblox enticed kids to try caffeinated potato chips — and they targeted children as young as age 5, a consumer watchdog group says.
The controversial online gaming company – which has been probed by half a dozen states over child safety issues – featured ads for Banger chips as recently as Friday in a video game called “Obby But You’re on a Bike,” Truth in Advertising said Monday.
Bangers is a caffeinated potato chip brand that was marketed to young children on Roblox, according to Truth in Advertising. Bangers Snacks Serving up ads about food and beverage products to children under age 13 violates Roblox’s own policy, which was implemented in May, and the ads were immediately taken down by the $4.9 billion company, the watchdog said.
But thousands of children may have seen the ad before the takedown — “Obby But You’re on a Bike,” which has the Roblox’s lowest maturity rating, has drawn 2 billion visits, according to Truth in Advertising.
“Putting caffeine in chips is a terrible idea because potato chips in general are terrible for you and caffeine has no business being in the salty snacks category,” Dan Glickberg, a food consultant and the former owner of Fairway Market, told The Post.
The company also implemented a new “brand integration hub” where creators have to register partnerships with Roblox prior to launching a campaign — and the creators have to submit their campaigns to the game company for pre-approval, it said.
Banger, which is based in San Francisco, Calif., and describes itself as an “AI powered CPG [consumer packaged goods] company redefining caffeinated snacks,” did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Bangers describes itself as an “AI powered CPG company redefining caffeinated snacks.” Bangers Snacks The company’s founder, Phillip Tran, told FoodNavigator USA, that his company has grown substantially thanks to “millions of video gamers who already know his caffeinated chips from over 200 Roblox games.”
A 2.5-ounce bag of the product has 200 milligrams of caffeine — roughly equivalent to two cups of coffee — according to USA Today.
Truth in Advertising set up a Roblox profile for a 5-year-old to test whether the account would be served the Banger potato chips ads, said spokesperson Shana Mueller.
Roblox’s policy is not to expose children under age 13 to food and beverage ads. Bloomberg via Getty Images A prominent billboard advertising the chips appeared in the “Obby” game, according to the group.
“We immediately sequestered the experience, upon discovery of this ad, until the non-compliant content was removed. The developer is working closely with us to update any future advertising content to be in line with our recently updated policy,” a Roblox spokesperson said in a statement.
In 2022, Truth in Advertising alleged Roblox “exploits” and “harms children” with deceptive marketing, recommending that the Federal Trade Commission investigate the publicly held company. The agency has yet to do so.
Alabama, Nevada and West Virginia reached multi-million dollar settlements with Roblox over allegations it failed to protect minors from sexual predators. Connecticut, Kentucky and Texas are currently investigating or have lawsuits against Roblox.
Truth in Advertising is continuing its “monitoring” of Roblox, Mueller told The Post.

Akcie Palo Alto Networks a CrowdStrike zaznamenaly mezi dubnem a červnem nejlepší čtvrtletí za poslední dobu, když vzrostly o 113 % a 95 %. Růst táhla vyšší poptávka po kybernetické ochraně kvůli novým hrozbám spojeným s AI.
It's been a good quarter for technology stocks, and cybersecurity leaders Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike have both joined the historic rally.
CrowdStrike and Palo Alto rallied 95% and 113%, respectively, between April and June for their best quarter on record, as new artificial intelligence tools have spiked demand for more sophisticated cyber defense. Those tailwinds allowed the sector to shake off early concerns that it would falter with the death of software as a service and emerge as a key stack in the age of AI.
Driving that demand is the onslaught of Mythos-class models capable of being used by hackers to uncover software vulnerabilities and launch full-scale attacks. That's left companies scrambling to beef up their cybersecurity defenses.
"What the Mythos moment proved is that the world, starting from the frontier AI labs themselves, realized that AI needs a cybersecurity ecosystem," CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz told analysts earlier this month on an earnings call. "This was a Mythos inflection point."
Over the last few months, CrowdStrike and Palo Alto have positioned themselves at the forefront of the AI cyber race through Mythos, the model deemed too powerful to release to the public.
CrowdStrike and Palo Alto networks over the last three months
Both companies gained early access to the model as Project Glasswing partners and are early adopters of OpenAI's Daybreak. The firms have also participated in high-profile meetings between major tech giants and the White House on securing AI in this new normal.
Underpinning their success is a bet on agentic security and identity access management that started long before the threats of Mythos.
Earlier this year, Palo Alto closed its mega $25 billion acquisition of Israeli identity security company CyberArk, while CrowdStrike bet on startup SGNL.
Now, to protect their platforms from extremely capable and abundant AI agents able to conduct cyber-attacks in a matter of seconds, companies are turning to the cyber leaders for protection.
"They're the best positioned to continue to gain market share from a product perspective," said TD Cowen analyst Shaul Eyal. "They have all the necessary ingredients."

Palo Alto CEO Nikesh Arora told analysts last month that over 1,200 customers reached out to discuss cybersecurity since Mythos, and that the company held 800 meetings within a six-week period.
CrowdStrike's Kurtz said this month that its Falcon Shield identity protection platform ended its fiscal first quarter with four-times annual recurring revenue growth.
"For now, there's lots of know-how that [businesses] don't have, and they would rather partner with the leaders in the market that have built business models for decades," Eyal said.
Both CrowdStrike and Palo Alto's rise to prominence has also intensified investor scrutiny, raising the bar on earnings expectations.
Earlier this month, both stocks dropped after posting strong results and upbeat AI commentary, because good wasn't good enough for investors demanding perfection.
"We worry this disappointment could continue in future quarters if investors are hoping for even more momentum to show up in growth post Mythos / Glasswing and as a result of regulatory/government pressure," wrote analysts at Bernstein.
Plug Power dokončil instalaci, uvedení do provozu, zkoušky přejímky na místě a předání 5 MW GenEco PEM elektrolyzérového systému v areálu Måde Power-to-X v Esbjergu v Dánsku, čímž zahájil aktivní výrobu vodíku. Při plné kapacitě se očekává asi 550 tun zeleného vodíku ročně.
Plug Power stock is surging to new heights today. Why is PLUG stock up today? What Is Driving Plug Power’s Growth in Denmark?Plug said it completed installation, commissioning, site acceptance testing, and handover of a 5 MW GenEco PEM electrolyzer system at the Måde Power-to-X facility in Esbjerg, Denmark, moving the site into active hydrogen production. At full capacity, the company expects about 550 metric tons of green hydrogen annually (roughly 1,500 truckloads), with output certified as Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin under the ISCC scheme.
Plug has also been leaning into a speed-and-repeatability message, emphasizing a fully containerized design intended to reduce on-site complexity and accelerate production readiness. That "repeatable execution" framing has been tied to CEO José Luis Crespo’s push for more disciplined growth.
With markets open, the backdrop is supportive: the Nasdaq-100 is up 1.81% and Industrials ranks No. 2 out of 11 sectors today, even though overall breadth is mixed (advance/decline ratio of 0.6). In that context, PLUG’s outsized pop reads as a stock-specific "execution update" tailwind layered on top of a generally positive session.
Plug Power Stock: Key Levels and Momentum IndicatorsFrom a trend standpoint, the stock is still trying to repair a pullback: it’s trading 7.5% below the 20-day SMA ($2.93) and 16.5% below the 50-day SMA ($3.25), which can act as overhead supply if rallies fade. It’s also just 1.1% below the 100-day SMA ($2.74), while holding 4% above the 200-day SMA ($2.61), keeping the longer-term line in the sand close.
MACD is the cleaner momentum read right now: it’s below its signal line and the histogram is negative, which points to upside pressure cooling unless buyers can reclaim that baseline. Put simply, when MACD is below its signal line, momentum is usually fading rather than building.
The near-term structure stays mixed: the 20-day SMA below the 50-day SMA is a bearish setup, but the 50-day SMA remains above the 200-day SMA (the golden cross from September 2025), which helps keep the bigger picture from fully breaking down. Zooming out, the stock is still working inside a wide 52-week range between $4.58 (October 2025) and $1.13, with a swing low in April and a swing high in June framing the current consolidation.
Key Resistance: $2.50 — a nearby pivot/round-number area that can cap rebounds, with the long-term moving-average zone close by What Is Plug Power’s Green Hydrogen Ecosystem?Plug Power is building an end-to-end green hydrogen ecosystem, from production, storage, and delivery to energy generation. The company plans to build and operate green hydrogen highways across North America and Europe.
Plug will deliver its green hydrogen solutions directly to its customers and through joint venture partners into multiple end markets, including material handling, e-mobility, power generation, and industrial applications. That’s why the Denmark handover matters: it’s a real-world proof point for "repeatable execution" in electrolyzers and hydrogen production, not just a roadmap slide.
Plug Power Stock Price Movement on TuesdayPLUG Stock Price Activity: Plug Power shares were up 5.41% at $2.72 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
