AI chip leaders helped the Dow clear the historic 50,000 mark as risk appetite returned across tech and crypto, today, Feb. 6, 2026.

The S&P 500 (^GSPC +1.97%) rose 1.97% to 6,932.30, the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +2.18%) gained 2.18% to 23,031.21, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI +2.47%) climbed 2.47% to 50,115.66, closing above 50,000 for the first time.

Market moversSemiconductor bellwethers such as Nvidia (NVDA +8.01%) led a powerful rebound in AI hardware, while crypto‑exposed MicroStrategy (MSTR +26.11%) surged about 25% as Bitcoin snapped back. In contrast, Amazon.com (AMZN 5.49%) slid on a hefty 2026 capex plan, and Micron Technology (MU +3.08%) fell on reduced HBM4 memory chip expectations.

What this means for investorsA broad rally led the Dow to cross the 50,000 mark for the first time. The index closed above that mark, rising about 2.5% for the day. Blue chip names and AI-related hardware stocks participated in the rally. The strong end to the week reinforced confidence that the ongoing bull market may not be ready to end.

It wasn’t a positive week for all the big names, however. A sell-off earlier in the week wiped $1.5 trillion from previously high-flying tech names. Huge capital spending plans from some big tech names still gave investors pause. Even amidst the rally, both Amazon and Alphabet (GOOG 2.48%) (GOOGL 2.46%) were deeply in the red today.

Risk appetite was on the rebound in general, though. Bitcoin (BTC +11.66%) recovered to more than $70,000 after sinking as low as almost $60,000 overnight. Optimism for continued AI-driven demand carried the day, however, setting up what could be more interesting trading next week.

Howard Smith has positions in Alphabet, Amazon, and Nvidia and has the following options: short February 2026 $170 calls on Nvidia. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Alphabet, Amazon, Bitcoin, Micron Technology, and Nvidia. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

Presentation

Olga Levinzon
Senior Vice President of Investor Relations

Hello, everyone. This is Olga Levinzon, Coty's Senior Vice President of Investor Relations. Thank you for joining us today for the prepared remarks portion of Coty's Second Quarter fiscal 2026 Earnings.

On Friday, February 6, 2026, at approximately 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time or 2:00 p.m. Central European Time, we will hold a separate live Q&A session on our results, which you can access via our Investor Relations website. Joining me for our presentation are Markus Strobel, Coty's Executive Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer; and Laurent Mercier, Coty's Chief Financial Officer.

Before I hand the call over to Markus, I would like to remind you that many of the comments today may contain forward-looking statements. Please refer to Coty's earnings release and the reports filed with the SEC, where the company lists factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. In addition, except where noted, the discussion of Coty's financial results and Coty's expectations reflect certain adjustments as specified in the non-GAAP financial measures section of the company's release.

Thank you. I will now turn it over to our Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer, Markus.

IonQ investors were happy to see the quantum company's stock recover along with the market.

Shares of IonQ Inc (IONQ +15.18%) jumped on Friday, finishing the day up 15%.

The quantum computing stock's surge wasn't driven by company-specific developments. Instead, IonQ shares rode a broader tech rally after a punishing week for the sector.

Tech rallies after a major sell-off The Nasdaq Composite had dropped 4.5% over the prior four trading sessions as investors fled tech stocks amid fresh concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) spending sustainability. That reversed course today as investors jumped back in, and the tech-heavy index finished the day up 2.1%.

Image source: Getty Images.

Recent earnings from big tech have renewed AI bubble fears, revealing capital expenditures accelerating to unprecedented levels. Alphabet and Amazon announced they could spend up to $185 billion and $200 billion in capex, respectively, this year. Meta and Microsoft both upped their forecasts considerably, with 2026 targets that nearly double their spends from last year.

Should you buy IonQ? IonQ has a market capitalization of nearly $13 billion. Its revenue over the last twelve months is $80 million. That's a pretty serious valuation disconnect, and one I am not comfortable with. I think shares of IonQ, along with shares of its quantum pure-play peers, are massively overpriced.

Johnny Rice has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Alphabet, Amazon, IonQ, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

With Rivian set to start releasing its R2 vehicles this year, is the stock a great buy right now?

Rivian Automotive (RIVN +7.79%) hit the market with its initial public offering (IPO) and saw massive gains shortly after its debut. The company's share price hit its all-time high of roughly $172 per share less than a week after going public, but it's seen big pullback since hitting that valuation peak.

As of this writing, Rivian is trading at roughly $14 per share -- down approximately 92% from its high. Could buying into the beaten-down electric vehicle (EV) specialist deliver life-changing returns for patient investors?

Image source: Rivian.

Putting Rivian's big valuation decline in context Rivian went public in an environment that was highly favorable to speculative growth stocks. Interest rates were at historical lows in response to conditions created by the COVID-19 pandemic, and many investors were willing to pay high valuation premiums to own stakes in potentially explosive EV stocks. The industry and market conditions have changed significantly since the company's IPO.

Today's Change

(

7.79

%) $

Current Price

$

14.80

The EV market is growing at a much slower rate compared to 2021, and government subsidies supporting the industry have expired. In many geographic markets, EV automakers are also facing rising competition from lower-priced Chinese alternatives.

In addition to these unfavorable dynamics, Rivian's production and delivery scaling has proceeded at a much slower pace than many investors had hoped. The company delivered fewer vehicles in 2025 than it did in both 2024 and 2023, and it has yet to notch quarterly deliveries above the 15,564 that it recorded in Q3 2023. The EV specialist has also continued to issue new shares in order to help fund its operations, which has had a dilutive impact for shareholders.

Could Rivian stock set you up for life? Rivian is on track to release the first vehicles in its new R2 platform this year, and the launch of the new EVs is poised to be an important catalyst for the company. With the release of its lower-cost R2 vehicles, Rivian will likely see a major increase in vehicle production and deliveries and see sales growth accelerate above recent levels that already looked encouraging.

Sales increased 78% year over year to reach $1.56 billion in last year's third quarter. Meanwhile, the business posted a net loss of roughly $1.1 billion and a gross profit of $24 million. For reference, the company closed out the quarter with cash and short-term investments totaling approximately $7.1 billion.

The EV upstart is burning through cash at a rapid rate, and it will likely continue issuing new shares as it records large losses. While the rollout of the company's R2 platform vehicles should lead to an acceleration of production and deliveries, the business only recently hit what's effectively a breakeven gross margin despite a sizable revenue contribution from higher-margin software-and-services offerings.

Gross margins on each vehicle sold remain in the red, and the launch of the lower-cost R2 vehicles may not be the positive margin catalyst that investors are hoping for over the next year. So while Rivian could go on to be a big winner at current prices, I wouldn't bet on the stock to set you up for life.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net interest income totaled $15.7 million, representing an increase of $1.2 million, or 8.1%, from $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The results for the year ended December 31, 2024 include the recognition of an interest recovery totaling $1.3 million for a prior nonperforming loan.

Total interest income increased $611 thousand, or 2.4%, to $26.1 million for the year ended 2025, compared to $25.5 million for the year ended 2024. The increase in total interest income was attributed to higher interest and fees on loans which totaled $22.4 million as of December 31, 2025, representing an increase of $862 thousand, when compared to $21.5 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in interest and fees on loans was primarily attributed to higher average loans balances from organic growth and increased yields on loans resulting from new loan originations and continued repricing of the adjustable rate loan portfolio.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, total interest expense was $10.4 million, representing a decrease of $566 thousand, or 5.2%, when compared to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This change as primarily attributed to the lower average balance of borrowings and declining interest rates on interest bearing deposits.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the net interest margin was 2.98%, representing an expansion of 14 basis points when compared to 2.84% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The improvement in the net interest margin was primarily related to the increase in yields and higher average balances of interest earning assets combined with lower borrowings and declining interest rates on interest bearing deposits, both of which resulted in lower cost of funds.

Noninterest income totaled $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was in part due to the recognition of realized net losses on the sale of available for sale securities of $214 thousand during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Noninterest expense totaled $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $11.5 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily attributed to salaries and employee benefits from increased staffing levels and wages.

When comparing the fourth quarter of 2025 to the fourth quarter of 2024, net interest income increased $797 thousand, or 22.7%, to $4.3 million from $3.5 million. Total interest income increased $426 thousand and total interest expense declined $371 thousand. The increase in total interest income was attributed to an increase in interest and fees on loans of $575 thousand, offset in part by a decline in interest on investment securities of $49 thousand and a decline in other interest and dividend income of $100 thousand. The decline in interest expense was attributed to lower costs on interest bearing deposits of $274 thousand and a decline of $97 thousand in interest expense on borrowings.

Noninterest income totaled $633 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $374 thousand for the same period in 2024. This increase was attributed to the recognition of $214 thousand in realized net losses on the sale of available for sale securities in 2024. Noninterest expense totaled $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily related to salaries and employee benefits.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of December 31, 2025, total assets increased $25.3 million, or 4.7%, to $562.2 million, compared to total assets of $536.9 million as of December 31, 2024.

Loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, increased $23.6 million, or 6.2%, to $401.8 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $378.2 million as of December 31, 2024. The growth in the loan portfolio was attributed to an increase of $20.0 million, or 7.0%, in loans secured by residential real estate and an increase of $3.2 million, or 3.8%, in loans secured by commercial real estate. The composition of the loan portfolio is predominately 1-4 family residential real estate loans and commercial real estate loans, with total loans secured by real estate representing 97.7% of loans, net of the allowances for credit losses, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Investment securities, excluding restricted securities, were $104.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and $107.0 million as of December 31, 2024. Investment securities decreased $2.7 million, or 2.5%, primarily due to principal repayments and maturities totaling $8.0 million, offset in part by a decrease in the investment portfolio’s unrealized losses on available for sale securities totaling $3.0 million and security purchases net of sales totaling $2.0 million.

Deposits totaled $518.9 million on December 31, 2025, representing an increase of $24.2 million, or 4.9%, when compared to $494.7 million on December 31, 2024. The composition of the deposits changed slightly with noninterest bearing deposit balances representing 25.2% of total deposits as of December 31, 2025, compared to 23.9% of total deposits as of December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2025, noninterest bearing deposit balances increased $12.6 million and interest bearing deposit balances increased $11.6 million, when compared to December 31, 2024.

Borrowings totaled $2.1 million at December 31, 2025, representing a decline of $5.9 million, or 73.7%, from $7.9 million on December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2025, total liquidity sources exceeded approximately $300 million and included on and off-balance sheet liquidity through cash and cash equivalents, unpledged available for sale securities at fair value, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve borrowing capacities, and unsecured correspondent bank lines of credit.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $36.8 million on December 31, 2025, representing an increase of $6.8 million, or 22.3%, when compared to $30.0 million on December 31, 2024. Book value per share increased to $142.76 on December 31, 2025 from $116.68 on December 31, 2024. The increase in shareholders’ equity was attributed to net income of $4.2 million and a decline in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $3.2 million. The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily attributed to a reduction in unrealized losses on the available for sale securities portfolio of $2.2 million and amortization of unrealized holding losses on the held to maturity securities portfolio totaling $498 thousand. The Company declared and paid cash dividends totaling $2.60 per share in 2025, compared to $2.40 per share in 2024.

The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios remain in excess of applicable regulatory requirements for well-capitalized institutions. The Tier 1 leverage ratio improved 6.6% to 8.12% at December 31, 2025 from 7.62% at December 31, 2024. Tier 1 capital, common equity Tier 1 capital and risk-based capital ratios were 12.66%, 12.66% and 13.91%, respectively, at December 31, 2025, representing no change when compared to December 31, 2024. Management maintains regular monitoring of capital management and planning strategies to support and maintain adequate capital levels.

Asset quality remains strong with historically low levels of nonperforming assets defined as loans 90 days or more delinquent, nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned. As of December 31, 2025, nonperforming assets increased slightly with nonaccruals totaling $287 thousand, or 0.07% of total loans, compared to nonaccruals totaling $47 thousand, or 0.01% of total loans on December 31, 2024. There were no loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest and no other real estate owned at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing interest totaled $136 thousand, or 0.03% of total loans, representing a slight change from $134 thousand, or 0.04% of total loans, on December 31, 2024.

Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $153 thousand and $383 thousand for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to $62 thousand and $70 thousand for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

For the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, the Bank experienced net charge offs totaling $16 thousand and $88 thousand, respectively, compared to no net charges offs for the fourth quarter 2024 and net recoveries of $237 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024.

NEW YORK, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

What’s Happening:

Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized shareholder rights law firm, is investigating potential claims against Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:HUT) on behalf of long-term stockholders following a class action complaint that was filed against Hut 8 on February 7, 2024 with a Class Period from November 9, 2023 to January 18, 2024. Our investigation concerns whether the board of directors of Hut 8 have breached their fiduciary duties to the company.
Details:

In November 2023, Hut 8 formed following the merger of Hut 8 Mining Corp. (“Legacy Hut”) and U.S. Data Mining Group, Inc. d/b/a US Bitcoin Corp. (“USBTC”) (the “Merger”). USBTC held a 50% interest in a joint venture bitcoin mining facility, located in King Mountain, Texas (the “King Mountain JV”), which was acquired in the Merger.
On January 18, 2024, at approximately 10:30 AM EST, J Capital Research published a report which alleged, inter alia, that Hut 8’s merger with USBTC was premised on a number of alleged misstatements, including (1) that the USBTC had an “undisclosed related party” as one of its largest shareholders, (2) that one of USBTC’s core assets, the King Mountain JV, “has historically failed to provide energy and high-speed internet,” and (3) that the Company had misstated certain finances of the King Mountain JV by failing to account for certain interest expenses. Citing individuals “highly familiar” with USBTC, the report stated that, without the Merger, USBTC would have undergone bankruptcy and that USBTC had a value estimated to be 70% less than the approximately $745 million that Hut 8 paid to acquire it.
On this news, Hut 8’s stock price fell $2.16, or 23.3%, to close at $7.12 per share on January 18, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that one of USBTC’s largest shareholders is an undisclosed related party; (2) that USBTC’s core asset has historically failed to provide energy and high-speed internet; (3) that the profitability of certain USBTC assets were overstated; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
Next Steps:

If you are a long-term stockholder of Hut 8, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Brandon Walker or Melissa Fortunato by email at [email protected], by telephone at (212) 355-4648, or by filling out this contact form.

Good afternoon, and welcome to Garanti BBVA's 2025 Financial Results and 2026 Operating Plan Guidance Webcast. Thank you for joining us today. Presenting on behalf of Garanti BBVA, we have our CEO, Mr. Mahmut Akten; our CFO, Mr. Atil Ozus; and our Head of Investor Relations, Ms. Ceyda Akinc?. [Operator Instructions]

With that, I now would like to hand over to management for their presentation.

Ceyda Akinc

Hello everyone, and thank you for joining us. We are excited to be with you on another earnings call. Before getting into our financial performance details, let's as usual, go over the broader macroeconomic environment. Turkish economy grew by 1% Q-on-Q in the third quarter and for the fourth quarter, we now cast a slightly positive quarterly growth. Therefore, parallel to our previous expectations, we maintain our GDP forecasts as 3.7% in '25 and 4% in '26, consistent with the still-resilient activity outlook.

In terms of inflation and monetary policy, seasonally adjusted inflation improved into year-end, however, January CPI figure reinforces our view that the pace of monetary easing will become increasingly data-dependent and points to a slower pace of rate cuts compared to consensus. In this regard, we maintain our call of 25% inflation and 32% policy rate for 2026-year-end.

In terms of current account deficit, it remains broadly manageable, although the trend has deteriorated, reflecting domestic demand

About Aldebaran Resources Inc.

Aldebaran holds an 80% interest in the Altar copper-gold project in San Juan Province, Argentina. The Altar project hosts multiple porphyry copper-gold deposits with potential for additional discoveries. Altar forms part of a cluster of world-class porphyry copper deposits which includes Los Pelambres (Antofagasta Minerals), El Pachón (Glencore), and Los Azules (McEwen Copper). In October 2025, the Company announced the results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment for Altar (report prepared by SRK Consulting Inc., titled “NI 43-101 Technical Report, Preliminary Economic Assessment, Altar Project, San Juan, Argentina”, dated September 30, 2025 - see Company news releases dated October 30, 2025 and November 24, 2025).

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

BROOKLYN, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 6, 2026 / IEH Corporation (OTC:IEHC) today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the 3rd fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Highlights include:

3.9% Increase in Revenue as compared to third quarter of Fiscal Year 2025

$723,444 loss in Q3 Operating Income, primarily due to cost of gold and tariff charges

Cash remains unchanged compared to third quarter of Fiscal Year 2025

Five-year high in backlog, primarily due to orders in support of missile defense programs

SEC dismissal of its administrative proceeding against IEH, which should enable uplisting in OTC marketplace

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, IEH had revenues of $7,497,879 as compared to $7,217,616 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, reflecting a 3.9% increase; an operating loss of $723,444 for 3rd quarter fiscal year 2026 as compared to an operating loss of $130,086 for 3rd quarter fiscal year 2025; a net loss of $660,286 for 3rd quarter fiscal year 2026 as compared to a net loss of $61,640 for 3rd quarter fiscal year 2025; and a basic loss per share of $.27 for 3rd quarter fiscal year 2026 as compared to a basic loss per share of $.03 for 3rd quarter fiscal year 2025.

Dave Offerman, President and CEO of IEH Corporation, commented, "The relentless, steep rise in gold over the past two years, along with tariffs and other rising costs, continue to pressure our margins. While we continue to aggressively and strategically raise prices, we are still playing "catch-up" to these increases. In 2025, gold experienced its highest annual increase in 46 years, and most forecasts predict this rise to continue in 2026. To hedge against these increases, we have been more strategic in the timing and volume of our gold purchases, in an effort to mitigate these historic trends.

In tandem with these efforts, we are investing in infrastructure and capacity which will allow us to reduce costs through production efficiencies, and less reliance on outside, often overseas suppliers. We expect the cost savings from these investments to manifest in our next fiscal year.

Fortunately, our outlook for the next fiscal year and beyond remains very positive. Demand for the parts we supply in support of missile defense and related military programs continues to rise, and global defense spending is expected to sharply increase over the next several years, which bodes very well for IEH. This has led to our highest backlog since December 2020, and with a very strong sales pipeline, we expect this growth to continue. It is also worth noting that much of this business is sole-source and thus highly profitable, which should go a long way toward improving our margins. At the same time, we are starting to see more business for the commercial aerospace platforms we support, in particular the Boeing 737Max, and with recent news that the FAA has allowed Boeing to increase output on that jet, we expect that growth to accelerate in the coming months. We continue to win new designs in commercial space applications, and with an enhanced sales presence overseas, uncover new opportunities in foreign markets.

We also continue to actively pursue acquisition opportunities, for the purpose of diversifying both our product offerings, as well as our markets served. I look forward to sharing more details on those efforts as they progress.

Finally, as noted in our January 15th press release, the SEC finally dismissed their administrative proceeding against IEH, for the late filings of 2021-2023. With this matter firmly behind us, we are in the process of applying to uplist our stock to a platform that allows for greater liquidity, shareholder visibility and investment opportunities.

On behalf of the management team and staff of IEH, we again wish to express our sincere gratitude for the support of our valued shareholders."
