Shiba Inu posted a strong weekend recovery as on-chain data highlighted a major exchange wallet shift during a volatile market phase. The move unfolded while broader crypto sentiment stayed locked in extreme fear. Despite that backdrop, SHIB showed relative resilience compared to other meme coins. Traders are now watching whether the exchange activity reflects a short-term structural adjustment or routine balance management.

OKX Wallet Transfer Coincides With SHIB Price RecoveryOn-chain data from Arkham showed that 20,841,045,129 SHIB tokens were transferred from OKX’s hot wallet into the exchange’s cold storage. The transaction removed tokens worth about $132,130 from active circulation. The timing drew attention because SHIB had just tested price levels not seen since early 2023. The move occurred during a sharp 30% drawdown from the week’s opening levels.

Following the transfer, Shiba Inu staged a swift rebound. The token rallied around 22% and reclaimed the $0.0000062 level. The signs of demand absorption during the recovery phase. Arkham data confirmed that the transfer was internal to OKX, pointing to exchange-controlled wallets rather than user withdrawals.

Such transfers often reflect reserve management decisions. However, the scale and timing raised questions among traders. Some suggested the move could relate to liquidity management during heightened volatility. Others pointed to possible order book restructuring as SHIB stabilized after heavy selling pressure.

Key Price Levels and Market DivergenceAt the time of writing, SHIB traded near $0.00000612 after failing to hold above the $0.0000068 level. The $0.0000046 was identified as a potential downside zone if bearish momentum returns. Despite the rebound, the broader crypto market continued to show signs of stress. Many altcoins and meme tokens recorded persistent outflows over the same period.

SHIB, however, showed a different on-chain pattern. While most meme coins saw tokens flow back onto exchanges, SHIB moved into cold storage. Such behavior is a form of supply adjustment. Locking tokens away can reduce immediate sell-side pressure, even if temporarily.

Still, observers cautioned against overinterpretation. Exchange wallet movements do not always signal a directional price shift. OKX has not issued a public explanation for the transfer. The move could represent routine operational management rather than a strategic stance on SHIB.

Even so, the transaction stood out due to its size and timing. With SHIB recovering quickly amid widespread fear, traders continue to monitor whether this wallet shift marks a meaningful change in the token’s short-term market structure or simply a coincidental exchange action.

Latest Shiba Inu News Today (SHIB)

TL;DR

A survey reveals Nayib Bukele’s approval rating reaches 91.9%, solidifying his political standing. Only 2.2% of respondents identify Bitcoin as the government’s biggest failure, highlighting a disconnect from citizen priorities. Daily Bitcoin adoption remains low, but the government persists with its strategy, maintaining its daily BTC purchase. Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s popularity reaches a new high according to a recent survey from La Prensa Gráfica. The leader obtained 91.9% approval, a figure that consolidates his political position in the Central American nation. Of the 1,200 people consulted, nearly two-thirds expressed strong support for his administration, while barely 1.8% showed strong disapproval.

The numbers reflect a clear reality: Salvadoran citizens back Bukele, but not necessarily for his Bitcoin bet. The cryptocurrency, adopted as legal tender in 2021, occupies a marginal place among public concerns. Only 2.2% of respondents identified Bitcoin as the government’s biggest failure, a percentage that confirms the disconnect between official crypto policy and citizen priorities.

The president responded to the survey with his usual sarcastic tone on social media, mocking the reduced size of the opposition. The reaction shows the confidence Bukele maintains against his critics, backed by figures that few Latin American leaders can display.

Security explains the Bukele phenomenon The true driver of presidential popularity lies in public safety improvements. Since taking office in 2019, Bukele implemented drastic measures against the gangs that plagued the country. The construction of the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) represents the most visible face of the strategy. The prison, designed to house suspected organized crime members, forms part of a hard-line plan that considerably reduced homicide rates.

Salvadoran citizens report greater peace in their daily lives. Streets once controlled by criminal groups now allow free movement. Businesses operate without constant extortion. Families go out without the fear that characterized previous decades. The transformation of the security environment exceeded initial expectations and changed international perception about El Salvador.

For most Salvadorans, living without daily violence matters more than any economic or technological experiment. The contrast between global media attention to Bitcoin and local indifference proves revealing.

Bitcoin adoption by the population remained limited since implementation In a TIME interview during 2024, Bukele himself admitted that daily use of the cryptocurrency did not reach the levels projected by the government. Salvadorans prefer traditional payment methods for their everyday transactions. The International Monetary Fund warned about possible financial risks associated with the country’s crypto strategy.

Despite lukewarm public reception and international criticism, El Salvador does not retreat from its bet. Government officials confirmed that the country buys one Bitcoin daily since 2022, a commitment Bukele promised to maintain.

Online trackers linked to the national Bitcoin Office show constant increases in reserves, even after El Salvador agreed to moderate some cryptocurrency-related programs as part of a $1.4 billion IMF deal.

ETHZilla, backed by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, pivoted from a pure Ethereum treasury firm toward tokenization last year.

In brief Bitcoin miner Cango (CANG) sold 4,451 BTC or about $305 million worth this weekend. The firm used the proceeds to repay a BTC-backed loan and clean its balance sheet as it expands into AI. Shares are down around nearly 3% on the day, and 62% over the last six months. Publicly traded Bitcoin miner Cango (CANG) parted ways with 4,451 BTC this weekend, raising approximately $305 million as it aims to fuel its expansion into providing compute power for the artificial intelligence (AI) boom.

The firm used all of the proceeds to repay a portion of a Bitcoin-collateralized loan. 

“The company is executing a strategic pivot by utilizing its globally accessed, grid-connected infrastructure to provide distributed compute capacity for the AI industry,” Cango said in a statement. 

In addition to the sale, the firm also announced Jack Jin, formerly of video conferencing software firm Zoom, as its new CTO to help build out its AI business line. 

Shares in the Dallas-based mining firm are down nearly 3% following the news, recently changing hands below $0.95. Shares have fallen 62% in the last six months. 

While other publicly traded Bitcoin miners, like Bitfarms, have signaled a complete departure from mining, Cango intends to continue using resources to mine Bitcoin alongside its growing AI compute business.

“Cango remains committed to its mining operations, with a continued focus on enhancing mining economics and seeking an optimal balance between hashrate scale and operational efficiency,” the firm’s announcement reads. “The company will be guided by a disciplined framework for asset allocation in pursuit of long-term value creation.”

The firm, which says it operates over 40 sites across four distinct geographic regions, mined nearly 500 BTC in January, according to its most recent monthly production update. It also sold 550 BTC or about $39 million worth of BTC during the month, leaving it with 7,474.6 BTC or about $528 million worth at the close of January. 

At the time of the sale, Cango CEO Paul Yu telegraphed that the firm would be offloading more Bitcoin in the future.

“Starting this month, we will selectively sell a portion of newly mined Bitcoin to support the expansion of our inference platform and other near-term growth initiatives,” said Yu in a statement. “This tactical flexibility will allow us to seize new business opportunities and manage our liquidity with greater agility."

A representative for the firm did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comment. 

Bitcoin is down around 0.2% in the last 24 hours, recently changing hands at $70,727. The top crypto asset is down nearly 10% in the last week and is 44% off its October all-time high of $126,080, though it has partially recovered since dipping to nearly $60,000 last week.

Bitcoin traders have begun rebuilding upside expectations following last week’s sharp sell-off. Prediction market data shows a rebound in confidence even as spot price action and derivatives positioning remain cautious.

On Polymarket, traders are currently pricing a 61% probability that Bitcoin reaches $75,000 in February, up roughly 8 percentage points from recent lows. 

The shift follows a period of heightened volatility that saw Bitcoin briefly slide into the high-$60,000 range before stabilizing near $70,000.

Prediction markets signal recovering confidence The move higher in Polymarket odds reflects a reassessment of upside risk after the sell-off rather than a decisive change in trend. 

While a 61% probability indicates the outcome is favored, it also implies that a sizable portion of traders—nearly 40%—remain unconvinced that Bitcoin will clear the $75,000 level within the month.

Source: Polymarket

Trading activity on the contract has been active, with tens of millions of dollars in volume. It suggests the odds are responding quickly to price movements rather than drifting on thin liquidity.

Bitcoin spot price stabilizes, trend remains fragile Bitcoin’s spot price has rebounded modestly from recent lows and is hovering around $70,000–71,000, but the broader structure remains weak. 

Price is still trading below key moving averages, and the longer-term trend continues to slope lower following the January breakdown.

Source: TradingView

Volume spiked during the sell-off and eased during the rebound, a pattern typically associated with liquidation-led moves rather than renewed accumulation. While some dip buying has emerged near the lows, there is limited evidence so far of sustained follow-through.

Derivatives positioning stays defensive Derivatives data adds another layer of caution. According to Coinglass, the Bitcoin long/short ratio has remained tilted toward the short side, with aggressive sell orders dominating taker volume during and after the drop.

Notably, there has been no sustained surge in long positioning alongside the rebound in spot prices. 

Source: Coinglass

This suggests that while expectations have improved, traders have been hesitant to reintroduce leverage, preferring to wait for clearer confirmation from price action.

Expectations improve faster than Bitcoin positioning The data points to a market that has absorbed a volatility shock but has not yet transitioned back into a risk-on phase. 

Prediction markets are signaling renewed optimism around February upside, but spot trends and derivatives positioning indicate continued caution.

For now, Bitcoin is in a stabilization phase, with sentiment recovering more quickly than conviction across leveraged markets.

Final Thoughts Polymarket odds show recovering confidence after Bitcoin’s sell-off, but expectations remain far from unanimous. Spot price and derivatives data suggest stabilization rather than a confirmed return to upside momentum.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

The Bitcoin market shrugged, but the conversation about quantum computers and Bitcoin popped back into feeds this week. It’s an old worry that keeps coming up: could future machines break the cryptography that protects wallets?

Based on reports from CoinShares and comments from long-time Bitcoin voices, the real story is less about an immediate panic and more about practical planning and who would actually be at risk.

Public Keys Expose A Small Slice Reports say that only 10,230 BTC sit in addresses where public keys are already visible, and that changes the math. Those coins would be the easiest targets if a powerful quantum machine appeared.

Around 7,000 BTC sit in mid-size wallets holding between 100 and 1,000 coins. About 3,230 BTC live in larger addresses holding between 1,000 and 10,000 coins.

At today’s values that stake is worth several hundred million dollars. That’s big money, but it’s not the same as a collapse of the protocol. An aggressive theft of that size would look like a heavy trade or a major security incident, not a network failure.

Quantum Hardware Still Falls Short According to experts, the algorithmic threat is straightforward: Shor’s algorithm would attack elliptic-curve signatures and Grover’s algorithm would weaken SHA-256 hashing.

But reports note a huge gap between experiment and attack. Current machines run at a little over 100 qubits in experimental setups. An effective break would need millions of stable, error-corrected qubits.

That kind of hardware has not been built. In short: the math shows a possible route, but the engineering is far from ready.

Old Coins, The Real Operational Headache Many of the more exposed addresses date back to Bitcoin’s early days and contain coins that have never moved. That makes them special. When those keys were first used, best practices were different.

Now, those same keys are a known point of weakness if quantum computing power ever arrives. Movement of those coins would be messy. Custodians, exchanges, and individual holders would all need to coordinate.

A technical fix could be proposed and adopted. The hard work would be getting people to update software and migrate keys before any real danger materializes. That is a logistics problem more than a cryptography puzzle.

BTCUSD trading at $69,054 on the 24-hour chart: TradingView Veteran Voices Call For Early Work According to Andreas Antonopoulos, a well-known Bitcoin and cryptocurrency expert, the threat is real but distant; he urges preparation rather than alarm.

British cryptographer Adam Back has said planning can happen in an orderly way, and panic is unnecessary so long as steps start now.

Those views line up: upgrade paths should be designed, wallets must discourage key reuse, and the community should test migration procedures.

If action is taken early, there’s ample room to make the shift without rushing or breaking systems.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP reminds investors of the upcoming February 17, 2026 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired F5, Inc. (“F5” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FFIV) securities between October 28, 2024 and October 27, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR F5 INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

What Happened?
On October 15, 2025, F5 disclosed that a “highly sophisticated nation-state threat actor had gained unauthorized access to certain Company systems” and “maintained long-term, persistent access to certain F5 systems, including the BIG-IP product development environment and engineering knowledge management platform.” Additionally, the Company stated that “[t]rough this access, certain files were exfiltrated, some of which contained certain portions of the Company’s BIG-IP source code and information about undisclosed vulnerabilities that it was working on in BIG-IP.”

On this news, F5’s stock price fell $35.40, or 10.7%, to close at $295.35 per share on October 16, 2025, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on October 27, 2025, after market hours, F5 released its fourth quarter fiscal 2025 financial results, providing low growth expectations for fiscal 2026 due primarily to the Security Breach, stating that the Company expected reductions to sales and renewals, elongated sales cycles, terminated projections, and increased expenses attributed to ongoing remediation efforts.

On this news, F5’s stock price fell $22.83, or 7.8%, to close at $267.58 per share on October 28, 2025, thereby injuring investors further.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) F5 was the subject of a significant security incident, placing its clientele’s security and the Company’s future prospects at significant risk; and (2) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired F5 securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than February 17, 2026 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Robbins LLP informs stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all persons that purchased or otherwise acquired Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: INO) securities between October 10, 2023 and December 26, 2025. Inovio is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of DNA medicines to treat and protect people from diseases associated with, inter alia, human papillomavirus (“HPV”).

Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (INO) Misled Investors Regarding Approval for its CELLECTRA Device

The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (INO) Misled Investors Regarding Approval for its CELLECTRA Device

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendant failed to disclose that: (i) manufacturing for Inovio’s CELLECTRA device was deficient; (ii) accordingly, Inovio was unlikely to submit the INO-3107 BLA to the FDA by the second half of 2024; (iii) Inovio had insufficient information to justify the INO-3107 BLA’s eligibility for FDA accelerated approval or priority review; and (iv) accordingly, INO-3107’s overall regulatory and commercial prospects were overstated.

Plaintiff alleges that on August 8, 2024, Inovio issued a press release reporting its financial results and recent business highlights for the second quarter of 2024, revealing that Inovio expected to submit the INO-3107 BLA to the FDA in mid-2025—representing an approximate full-year delay from defendants’ initially projected mid-2024 submission timeline—because of “a manufacturing issue” with a component of the CELLECTRA device. On this news, Inovio’s stock price fell $0.27 per share, or 3.1%, to close at $8.44 per share on August 9, 2024.

Then, on December 29, 2025, Inovio issued a press release announcing that the FDA had accepted the INO-3107 BLA on a standard rather than accelerated review timeline. Because the Company did not submit adequate information to justify eligibility for accelerated approval. Defendants further advised that Inovio does not plan to seek approval under the standard review timeline and would request a meeting with the FDA to discuss how it may still pursue accelerated approval. On this news, Inovio’s stock price fell $0.56 per share, or 24.45%, to close at $1.73 per share on December 29, 2025.

Participants like RELX (RELX - Free Report) and Yelp (YELP - Free Report) are expanding their presence across social media, display and connected TV and search, driving top-line growth. However, the industry has been suffering from challenging macroeconomic conditions globally, which is having a detrimental effect on advertising spending, the primary revenue source for industry participants.

Director of Investor Relations

Hello, everyone, and thank you for joining us on today's conference call to discuss the financial results for monday.com's fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025. Joining me today are Roy Mann and Eran Zinman, Co-CEOs of monday.com; Eliran Glazer, monday.com's CFO; and Casey George, monday.com's CRO. We released our results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2025 earlier today. You can find our quarterly shareholder letter, along with our investor presentation and a replay of today's webcast under the News and Events section of our IR website at ir.monday.com.

NEW YORK, Feb. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds persons who invested in securities of SLM Corporation a/k/a Sallie Mae (NASDAQ: SLM) between July 25, 2025 and August 14, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important February 17, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

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

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the SLM class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=49601 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than February 17, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

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

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) SLM was experiencing a significant increase in early stage delinquencies; (2) accordingly, defendants overstated the effectiveness of SLM’s loss mitigation and/or loan modification programs, as well as the overall stability of SLM’s private education loan (“PEL”) delinquency rates; and (3) as a result, defendants’ public statements made a materially false and misleading impression regarding SLM’s business, operations, and prospects at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the SLM class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=49601 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

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

Key Takeaways MKTX reported Q4 adjusted EPS of $1.68, beating estimates, even as year-over-year EPS slipped 2.9%.MKTX revenues rose 3.5% on higher credit, emerging markets and Eurobonds trading volumes.MKTX lifted its quarterly dividend to 78 cents and authorized more buybacks via an ASR. MarketAxess Holdings Inc. (MKTX - Free Report) reported fourth-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share of $1.68, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.2%. However, the bottom line slipped 2.9% year over year.

Total revenues amounted to $209 million, which grew 3.5% year over year. Yet, the top line missed the consensus mark by 1.6%.

The quarterly results benefited on the back of solid growth in total revenues as a result of rising high-grade, high-yield, emerging markets and Eurobonds trading volumes. Commission revenues and gains in technology and post-trade services revenues also contributed to the upside. However, the upside was partly offset by rising expenses due to higher compensation and benefits, and general and administrative (G&A) costs.

MarketAxess’ Quarterly Operational UpdateCommission revenues improved 4% year over year to $181.3 million. However, the metric fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $183 million and our estimate of $186.8 million. Information services revenues of $13.4 million grew 2% year over year. The metric missed the consensus mark of $14 million but surpassed our estimate of $13.2 million. Post-trade services revenues inched up 1% year over year to $11 million, while technology services revenues increased 2% year over year to $3.6 million.

Total expenses came in at $133.4 million, which escalated 9% year over year in the quarter under review due to higher employee compensation and benefits, technology and communication, professional and consulting fees, and G&A expenses. The metric was lower than our estimate of $137 million.

MarketAxess’ net income climbed 42% year over year to $92.4 million, higher than our estimate of $61 million. The net income margin of 44.1% improved 1,190 basis points year over year.

MarketAxess’ Trading VolumesThe high-grade trading volume of MarketAxess was $424.6 billion in the fourth quarter, which advanced 6% year over year but lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $430.3 billion. The ADV of the same product category totaled $6.8 million, which rose 6% year over year and marginally missed the consensus mark. 

High-yield trading volume of $95.7 billion climbed 15% year over year, while ADV also rose 15% year over year to $1.5 billion. Other credit trading volume tumbled 4% year over year to $37.1 billion, whereas ADV for the same product category also declined 4% year over year to $597 million.

Trading volume and ADV of emerging markets rose 15% each on a year-over-year basis to $247.1 billion and $4 billion, respectively. The Eurobonds’ trading volume and ADV improved 20% each on a year-over-year basis.

The total credit trading volume of $958.5 billion advanced 11% year over year. Total credit ADV rose 11% to $15.4 billion and marginally beat the consensus mark. Total rates’ trading volume and ADV of this product category declined 17% each, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.

MarketAxess’ Balance Sheet (As of Dec. 31, 2025)MarketAxess exited the fourth quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $519.7 million, which fell 4.5% from the 2024-end level. Total assets of $1.8 billion inched up 1.1% from the figure at 2024-end.

The company had $220 million in outstanding borrowings under its credit facility at the fourth-quarter end. Total stockholders’ equity of $1.1 billion tumbled 17.5% from the 2024-end level.

MarketAxess’ Cash FlowsMarketAxess generated $158.6 million of net cash from operations in the fourth quarter, which slipped 10% year over year. Free cash flow plunged 33.8% year over year to $75.1 million.

MarketAxess’ Capital Deployment UpdateMarketAxess bought back shares worth $360 million in 2025. In December 2025, management sanctioned the repurchase of up to $400 million in additional common shares. The company subsequently entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement for $300 million, receiving 1,386,001 shares initially—representing 80% of the total expected based on the stock’s market price at execution. A leftover capacity of $205 million remained under the company’s authorized repurchase program as of Jan. 31, 2025. 

MKTX also approved a 2.6% hike in the quarterly cash dividend. The increased dividend, amounting to 78 cents per share, will be paid out on March 4, 2026, to shareholder of record as of Feb.18.

MKTX’s Full Year UpdateMarketAxess’ revenues of $846.3 million rose 4% from the 2024 figure. Adjusted earnings per share advanced 2% year over year to $7.39. Operating income of $341.8 inched up marginally year over year.

Capital expenditure is projected to be between $65 million and $75 million, while the adjusted effective tax rate is expected to lie between 24% and 26%.

MKTX’s 2026-2028 Financial TargetsIn the medium term, MarketAxess is targeting average annual total revenue growth within 8-9%, along with an average annual improvement in operating margin of 75-125 basis points.

The projections are also predicated on anticipated minimum average annual growth of approximately 6% in composite credit market ADV and around 5% in U.S. government bond TRACE market ADV.

MKTX’s Zacks RankMarketAxess currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Operator

Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Motorcar Parts of America Inc. Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Conference Call and webcast. [Operator Instructions] I'd now like to turn the call over to Gary Maier, Vice President, Corporate Communications and Investor Relations. You may begin.

Gary Maier
Vice President of Corporate Communications and Investor Relations

Thank you, Rob. Thanks, everyone, for joining us for our call today for our Fiscal 2026 3rd quarter. Before I turn the call over to Selwyn Joffe, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer; and David Lee, the company's Chief Financial Officer, I'd like to remind everyone of the safe harbor statement included in today's press release.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for certain forward-looking statements, including statements made during today's conference call. Such forward-looking statements are based on the company's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the company.

There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the company will be those anticipated by Motorcar Parts of America. Actual results may differ from these projected in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the control of the company and are subject to change based upon various factors.

In particular, expectations about anticipated future growth and opportunities with customers may not be achieved. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or

Key Takeaways AVO has built a global sourcing network across Mexico, Peru and beyond to supply customers year-round.Peruvian production complements Mexican supply, supporting expansion in Europe and Asia and steadier volumes.Global sourcing raises weather, geopolitical and logistics risks, making execution critical to margins. Mission Produce, Inc. (AVO - Free Report) has spent years building a global sourcing platform designed to reduce volatility and unlock consistent growth in a market defined by seasonality and disruption. With operations spanning key producing regions such as Mexico, Peru and beyond, the company has positioned itself as a year-round supplier capable of serving major retail and foodservice customers across multiple continents. As this strategy matures, the critical question is whether Mission Produce is now ready to fully deliver on the high expectations embedded in its global sourcing ambitions.

Early signs point to meaningful progress. Diversified sourcing has allowed Mission Produce to better manage supply swings, offset regional weather disruptions and maintain steadier volumes throughout the year. Peruvian production, in particular, has become an increasingly important complement to Mexican supply, enabling Mission Produce to support international expansion in Europe and Asia while reinforcing its North American presence. This flexibility enhances customer reliability and strengthens long-term relationships, especially with large retailers that value consistency over short-term pricing advantages.

However, global sourcing also brings complexity and risk. Weather variability, geopolitical uncertainty and logistics costs can quickly pressure margins if not carefully managed. Mission Produce’s ability to translate sourcing scale into sustainable profitability will depend on disciplined execution, data-driven allocation of fruit across markets and continued investment in infrastructure. If the company can balance these moving parts effectively, its global sourcing platform may evolve from a strategic aspiration into a durable competitive moat, supporting growth even as the broader producte market remains volatile.

CTVA & DOLE: Powering Global Sourcing ResilienceCorteva, Inc. (CTVA - Free Report) and Dole plc (DOLE - Free Report) are approaching global sourcing from different positions in the value chain, but both play critical roles in strengthening supply reliability and resilience across the global food system.

Corteva’s global footprint positions it as a key enabler of agricultural sourcing rather than a direct supplier of produce. Through advanced seed genetics, crop protection and digital farming solutions, the company supports growers across major agricultural regions, helping stabilize yields and reduce production risk. This technology-driven approach strengthens global supply reliability, allowing Corteva to play an important role in meeting worldwide food demand even as climate variability and input cost pressures intensify.

Dole’s global sourcing strategy is central to its identity as a fresh-produce leader. By operating across multiple growing regions and seasons, the company can balance supply availability, manage regional disruptions and deliver consistent products to key markets. Its vertically integrated model, spanning farming, logistics and distribution, enhances flexibility and reliability, positioning Dole to capitalize on global sourcing opportunities while mitigating risks tied to weather, tariffs and transportation costs.

AVO’s Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesShares of Mission Produce have gained 11.4% in the last three months compared with the industry’s growth of 12.6%.

From a valuation standpoint, AVO trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 21.98X, significantly above the industry’s average of 14.31X.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AVO’s fiscal 2026 earnings suggests a year-over-year decline of 10.13%, while that for fiscal 2027 indicates growth of 4.23%. The company’s EPS estimates for fiscal 2026 and 2027 have remained stable in the past seven days.

Growth stocks are attractive to many investors, as above-average financial growth helps these stocks easily grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. However, it isn't easy to find a great growth stock.

By their very nature, these stocks carry above-average risk and volatility. Moreover, if a company's growth story is over or nearing its end, betting on it could lead to significant loss.

However, the task of finding cutting-edge growth stocks is made easy with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects.

Our proprietary system currently recommends Kirin Holdings Co. (KNBWY - Free Report) as one such stock. This company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank.

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

Here are three of the most important factors that make the stock of this company a great growth pick right now.

Earnings GrowthArguably nothing is more important than earnings growth, as surging profit levels is what most investors are after. And for growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is definitely preferable, and often an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.

While the historical EPS growth rate for Kirin is 3.3%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 7.4% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 2.3%.

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

Right now, Kirin has an S/TA ratio of 0.72, which means that the company gets $0.72 in sales for each dollar in assets. Comparing this to the industry average of 0.52, it can be said that the company is more efficient.

While the level of efficiency in generating sales matters a lot, so does the sales growth of a company. And Kirin looks attractive from a sales growth perspective as well. The company's sales are expected to grow 2.2% this year versus the industry average of 1.3%.

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

The current-year earnings estimates for Kirin have been revising upward. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 1.6% over the past month.

Bottom LineKirin has not only earned a Growth Score of A based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above, but it also carries a Zacks Rank #2 because of the positive earnings estimate revisions.

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

This combination positions Kirin well for outperformance, so growth investors may want to bet on it.

Investors seek growth stocks to capitalize on above-average growth in financials that help these securities grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. However, it isn't easy to find a great growth stock.

In addition to volatility, these stocks carry above-average risk by their very nature. Also, one could end up losing from a stock whose growth story is actually over or nearing its end.

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

Wesco International (WCC - Free Report) is one such stock that our proprietary system currently recommends. The company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank.

Research shows that stocks carrying the best growth features consistently beat the market. And returns are even better for stocks that possess the combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy).

While there are numerous reasons why the stock of this maker of electrical and industrial maintenance supplies and construction materials is a great growth pick right now, we have highlighted three of the most important factors below:

Earnings GrowthArguably nothing is more important than earnings growth, as surging profit levels is what most investors are after. For growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is highly preferable, as it is often perceived as an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.

While the historical EPS growth rate for Wesco International is 14.7%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 18.2% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 17.1%.

Impressive Asset Utilization RatioAsset utilization ratio -- also known as sales-to-total-assets (S/TA) ratio -- is often overlooked by investors, but it is an important indicator in growth investing. This metric exhibits how efficiently a firm is utilizing its assets to generate sales.

Right now, Wesco International has an S/TA ratio of 1.45, which means that the company gets $1.45 in sales for each dollar in assets. Comparing this to the industry average of 1.35, it can be said that the company is more efficient.

While the level of efficiency in generating sales matters a lot, so does the sales growth of a company. And Wesco International is well positioned from a sales growth perspective too. The company's sales are expected to grow 5.7% this year versus the industry average of 4.6%.

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

There have been upward revisions in current-year earnings estimates for Wesco International. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 0.2% over the past month.

Bottom LineWhile the overall earnings estimate revisions have made Wesco International a Zacks Rank #2 stock, it has earned itself a Growth Score of B based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above.

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

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

Investors seek growth stocks to capitalize on above-average growth in financials that help these securities grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a growth stock that can live up to its true potential can be a tough task.

In addition to volatility, these stocks carry above-average risk by their very nature. Also, one could end up losing from a stock whose growth story is actually over or nearing its end.

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

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

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

Here are three of the most important factors that make the stock of this company a great growth pick right now.

Earnings GrowthArguably nothing is more important than earnings growth, as surging profit levels is what most investors are after. For growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is highly preferable, as it is often perceived as an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.

While the historical EPS growth rate for Charles Schwab is 6%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 18.5% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 11.4%.

Cash Flow GrowthWhile cash is the lifeblood of any business, higher-than-average cash flow growth is more important and beneficial for growth-oriented companies than for mature companies. That's because, growth in cash flow enables these companies to expand their businesses without depending on expensive outside funds.

Right now, year-over-year cash flow growth for Charles Schwab is 22.3%, which is higher than many of its peers. In fact, the rate compares to the industry average of 16.4%.

While investors should actually consider the current cash flow growth, it's worth taking a look at the historical rate too for putting the current reading into proper perspective. The company's annualized cash flow growth rate has been 12.2% over the past 3-5 years versus the industry average of 8.3%.

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

There have been upward revisions in current-year earnings estimates for Charles Schwab. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 2.9% over the past month.

Bottom LineCharles Schwab has not only earned a Growth Score of B based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above, but it also carries a Zacks Rank #2 because of the positive earnings estimate revisions.

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

MIAMI, Feb. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chris-Craft, America’s Boatbuilder Since 1874, will unveil the all-new Launch 27 at the Discover Boating® Miami International Boat Show®, February 11–15 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Reimagined from bow to stern, the next-generation Launch 27 blends modern performance with timeless design, offering boaters a more refined, more connected and more effortless experience on the water.

For more than 25 years, the Launch 27 has been one of the most beloved models in the Chris-Craft portfolio—known for its iconic silhouette, smooth ride and unmistakable craftsmanship. The newly redesigned model elevates everything owners love: richer materials, enhanced comfort, and advanced technology that brings luxury and usability together in a fresh, contemporary expression of a Chris-Craft classic.

“The Launch 27 has long been an iconic model in the Chris-Craft portfolio, and we set out to thoughtfully reimagine the boat—building upon its timeless foundation of classic elegance, design excellence, and exceptional craftsmanship,” said Ron Berman, engineering lead at Chris-Craft. “Our goal was to seamlessly integrate the latest marine technologies to elevate performance, comfort and the overall on-water experience.

The exterior design of the Launch 27 has a sleek sporty profile, combining stainless steel, teak and hardware for an elegant appearance. A cross-curve glass windshield blends seamlessly into the design.

The interior is spacious with abundant seating and puts passenger experience above all else. Every detail of the upholstery design has been elevated. The cockpit includes folding steps with grab rail system that provide easy access to and from the cockpit. Additionally, the cockpit includes large storage compartments beneath the seat cushions, a teak table and recessed side storage with cup holders and accent lighting. Wrap around seating in the bow area provides a spacious and comfortable seating arrangement. Standard on the Launch 27 is a concealed Bimini top that stows neatly out of sight when not in use, ensuring maximum comfort without compromising the boat’s clean lines. For the first time, customers can also opt for a power Bimini that deploys at the push of a button—an innovative feature designed to make time on the water easier and more enjoyable.

The Launch 27’s helm provides the feeling of driving a sports car with classic and sporty touchpoints. The Innovative Chris-Craft User interface elevates the experience with a new Garmin 1543 XSV Ultrawide display that allows for audio, switching, engine data, sonar and navigation information integration in a single Interface. The standard audio system includes a Fusion source unit and 4 JL Sport grill M3 speakers. The available premium audio system delivers an elevated listening experience, featuring custom‑tuned JL Audio speakers engineered exclusively for Chris‑Craft.

Celebrated for bringing the family together in style, the boat features a full beam wrap around swim platform with a manual swim step and safety interlock function. The engine hatch includes fixed sun pads and removable center section for easy access to the cockpit.

“As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday this year, it’s worth noting that the Chris-Craft story is an American story,” said Chris-Craft President Steve Heese. “For more than 150 years, we have carved out a proud place in our nation’s history and in the hearts of boat lovers around the world. We are committed to building on this legacy by investing in new technologies and designs that expand our offerings and upholding the Chris-Craft standards of excellence in boat design,”
