Bitcoin Has Fallen Over 50% From Its All-Time High cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin prices have suffered lately, falling to almost $62,000.

Bitcoin prices have suffered quite a bit lately, and following these latest declines, the digital currency is down more than 50% from the record high it reached last year.

Because of these declines, the world’s most prominent cryptocurrency has officially entered a bear market, according to the YouTuber who goes by Wendy O.

The world’s most prominent cryptocurrency dropped to roughly $62.180.00 close to 4 p.m. EST, according to Coinbase data from TradingView. At this point, the digital asset had plummeted approximately 50.7% from the all-time high of roughly $126,300 it attained in October.

The price of bitcoin dropped to this level the same day that stocks suffered declines, with the S&P 500 index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average both closing down at least 1.2%, according to Google Finance figures.

‘Classic Risk-Off Flush’When explaining bitcoin’s latest price movements, analyst Brett Sifling stated that the digital currency’s decline to almost $62,000 “looks like a classic risk-off flush more than a ‘Bitcoin-specific’ story as we near the end of its four-year cycle."

“The market is repricing tighter financial conditions,” Sifling, wealth manager for Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management, said via email.

“The Fed narrative has turned slightly more hawkish, software stocks are being haunted by AI and dragging the Nasdaq down, which provides an environment where highly liquid risk assets like crypto usually get hit first,” he added.

Joe DiPasquale, CEO of cryptocurrency hedge fund manager BitBull Capital, also weighed in, specifying through emailed comments that “Bitcoin’s latest declines reflect a broad de-risking across crypto rather than a routine pullback.”

“Persistent high interest rates and a stronger dollar have tightened financial conditions, while the loss of major technical support levels triggered forced selling from leveraged and systematic players. Weaker spot ETF flows and thinner liquidity amplified the move, turning what started as macro pressure into a deeper, self-reinforcing selloff.”

Capital RotationGold and silver have been stealing headlines lately, reaching fresh, all-time highs. Since this is happening at the same time that bitcoin has been recording losses, it is entirely possible that many investors are rotating out of the world’s most prominent digital currency and into the aforementioned precious metals.

Brian Huang, cofounder of fintech firm Glider, spoke to these developments, stating via email that “Crypto prices have always been driven by traders looking for the next shiny object. Over the past couple months, that’s been Gold and Silver and not BTC.”

As a result, “Money has flowed out of BTC and into precious metals,” he stated.

‘Extremely Low’ SentimentThe sentiment of market participants has soured quite a bit lately, according to Ryan Li, CEO of Surf, which has in turned impacted their behavior.

“Sentiment is extremely low right now, firmly in ‘extreme fear’ territory and on par with the November lows,” he said via email.

Interestingly enough, this mirrors the current reading of the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which indicates that the market is experiencing extreme fear.

“As a result, retail investors are leaning into defensive positioning, prioritizing capital preservation over speculation,” stated Li.

A Sign Of Better Things In spite of all this, existing fundamentals are “stronger than ever,” said Huang.

“The pullback is not correlated with onchain mechanics for once,” he noted. “We actually see more active wallets in Ethereum than ever before.”

The analyst continued, emphasizing that “We see institutions hiring for blockchain roles (that previously dismissed crypto). Regardless of short term price action, these trends will push crypto up in the long run.”

Strategy records $12.4B loss in Q4, shares dip 17% as Bitcoin tumbles cryptonews
BTC
The Bitcoin buying company Strategy reported a net loss of $12.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven down by Bitcoin’s 22% fall over the quarter.

Bitcoin (BTC) reached a peak high of $126,000 in early October, but tumbled over the quarter ending Dec. 31 to under $88,500. Bitcoin is down 30% so far this year to $64,500, below Strategy’s average cost per BTC of $76,052.

Strategy (MSTR) said on Thursday that despite the loss, its Q4 revenues rose 1.9% year-on-year to $123 million, driven in part by its business intelligence arm, but the recent Bitcoin sell-off saw its shares close 17% down on Thursday to $107.

Bitcoin’s latest tumble pushed it to a low of $62,500 on Thursday, leaving Strategy down 17.5% on its 713,502 Bitcoin holdings.

Strategy on strong financial footing, says finance bossDespite the massive quarterly loss, Strategy chief financial officer Andrew Kang said in a statement that the company’s capital structure remains “stronger and more resilient today than ever before.”

“Strategy has built a digital fortress anchored by 713,502 Bitcoins and our shift to Digital Credit, which aligns with our indefinite Bitcoin horizon.”

The company boosted its cash holdings to $2.25 billion in Q4 to allow for 30 months of dividend payouts, signaling financial strength despite the market downturn.

Strategy also has no major debt maturing until 2027, meaning it isn’t under immediate pressure to repay borrowings and may not be forced to liquidate Bitcoin to meet obligations in the near term.

Strategy CEO Phong Le told investors on an earnings call that there’s no reason to panic about the company’s financial position and its Bitcoin strategy.

“I’m not worried, we’re not worried, and no, we’re not having issues.”He noted that Strategy’s enterprise value is still above its $45 billion Bitcoin reserve and that its $8.2 billion of convertible debt only represents about 13% net leverage, below most Standard & Poor’s 500 companies.

Power-Law Model Suggests Bitcoin Fair Value at $122K cryptonews
BTC
TL;DR:

Bitcoin is trading at a 41% discount relative to its long-term historical trend. The market is experiencing a high-volatility phase driven by forced liquidations in derivatives. A “short squeeze” has a 70% probability of occurring if the price recovers key levels. Following Bitcoin’s recent correction, the price fell below $71,000, erasing all gains accumulated since 2024. Despite this setback, the Bitcoin power-law model suggests that the cryptocurrency is in a zone of extreme undervaluation relative to its historical valuation.

https://twitter.com/david_eng_mba/status/2019252142968861156

In this regard, analyst David indicated that the asset’s fair value should currently stand at $122,762. This implies a gap of at least $51,000 compared to the current price, representing an unusual 41% discount that the market rarely sustains for prolonged periods.

Derivatives Dynamics and Market Pressure This price divergence does not necessarily respond to a lack of organic interest, but rather to technical factors in the derivatives markets. The analysis highlights that the decline is being driven by forced flows and liquidations, rather than massive distribution by long-term investors.

On the other hand, positioning data reveals a tense situation: the price fell 20% over the last month, but open interest grew by nearly 7%. This increase in leverage within a context of weakness suggests that high-risk bets are rising, which typically precedes sharp market moves.

Consequently, the $73,000 level is identified as a critical gamma zone. If Bitcoin manages to break above this barrier, volatility could stabilize; otherwise, fluctuations will remain aggressive due to the high exposure of retail and institutional traders.

In summary, the market is cautiously watching the unrealized losses of large entities such as MicroStrategy, whose positions entered negative territory following recent purchases. However, if the price begins a rally, there is a 70% probability of a forced short-position closure, accelerating the recovery.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Under Pressure—Where Is the Bottom? cryptonews
BTC ETH
TL;DR

Bitcoin and Ethereum fall ~50% and 60% from 2025 highs to late-2024 lows. Massive liquidations and macroeconomic risk-off sentiment are amplifying the current selling pressure. Historical 80% average corrections suggest the absolute market bottom may not yet be in. Bitcoin and Ethereum traverse a turbulent period marked by sharp declines, liquidations, and widespread risk-averse sentiment. At the beginning of February 2026, both assets register significant losses that have captured the attention of investors and analysts throughout the industry.

Bitcoin trades around $63,000 to $64,000, recording declines of 11% to 13% in the last 24 hours and exceeding 20% during the week. Ethereum negotiates in the range of $1,850 to $1,900, also experiencing similar short-term losses. Both cryptocurrencies have reached lows unseen since late 2024 or early 2025.

Declines acquire greater relevance when compared with 2025 highs. Bitcoin retreated approximately 50% from its peaks near $126,000. Ethereum experienced even deeper relative losses, with declines exceeding 60% from its maximum during that same period.

The Reasons Behind Current Market Pressure Massive liquidations accelerate downward movement. Between $1 billion and $2 billion in cryptocurrency liquidations occurred in recent 24-hour periods, generating a domino effect that amplifies forced selling. Deleveraging accelerates price declines while leveraged traders are forced to close positions.

Broader macroeconomic factors contribute to pressure. Speculation related to Federal Reserve decisions, redemptions from exchange-traded funds, and rotation toward lower-risk assets have generated a general risk-off environment. Core narratives supporting Bitcoin, such as its role as “digital gold,” and the strength of Ethereum’s ecosystem face doubt during this correction.

On-chain and sentiment indicators show extreme fear. The Fear and Greed Index registers single-digit or low double-digit levels, while exchange inflows signal selling pressure. Bitcoin dominance shows signs of weakening in some analyses.

Searching for Market Bottom and Historical Perspectives Determining the exact bottom proves impossible given cryptocurrency’s characteristic volatility. However, analysts offer several scenarios based on technical and historical trends. For Bitcoin, recent lows around $62,000 to $64,000 represent a potential near-term floor. More pessimistic forecasts suggest ranges of $50,000 to $60,000 as a realistic zone, while extreme bear scenarios project $38,000 to $40,000.

Ethereum shows greater relative weakness. Key support levels around $1,800 to $2,000 were tested, exposing $1,600 to $1,800 or lower. The ETH/BTC ratio reached several-year lows, with bearish indicators pointing downward.

Historical crypto market cycles revealed patterns of deep but cyclical correction. Bitcoin declines have averaged approximately 80% from historical highs, with typical durations of one year for the majority of decline.

The 2011 crash registered declines of 93% to 99%. The 2013–2015 correction produced losses of 85% to 87%. The 2017–2018 crypto winter resulted in declines of 84% to 86%. The 2021–2022 fall recorded declines of 75% to 78%.

Ethereum, launched in 2015, has historically amplified Bitcoin’s pain. During the 2018 bear, ETH suffered declines of 94%. In 2021–2022, it experienced losses of 80% to 82%, frequently 5% to 10% deeper than Bitcoin in percentage terms.

General patterns show that genuine capitulation and seller exhaustion precede accumulation and multi-year recovery. Crypto Economy analysts point out that we likely have not reached the absolute floor, with expectations of more bleeding before true capitulation. 

Others identify signs of exhaustion and view current levels as accumulation opportunities for long-term investors. Remember that this does not constitute financial advice, and markets can remain irrational longer than expected.

/C O R R E C T I O N -- Cascades Inc./ stocknewsapi
CADNF
In the news release, Cascades Announces Exit from Honeycomb Packaging and Partition Business Segments, issued Feb. 5, 2026 by Cascades Inc. over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that changes have been made. The complete, corrected release follows:

Cascades Announces Exit from Honeycomb Packaging and Partition Business Segments , /PRNewswire/ - Cascades Inc. (TSX: CAS) announces the discontinuation of its activities in the honeycomb paperboard and partition packaging product sectors. As a result, its three plants located in York, PA, and Saint-Césaire and Berthierville, QC, will be closed.

Cascades is committed to optimizing its operating platform and business activities by focusing on its strategic markets as a partner of choice for its customers. The plants being closed specialize in niche markets that are no longer aligned with the company's long-term growth plans.

The closure of the Berthierville honeycomb packaging plant is effective immediately, impacting 52 employees. The company Emballages LM, located in Saint‑François‑de‑la‑Rivière‑du‑Sud, QC, will acquire certain assets later today for approximately $9 million. Emballages LM is a major North American producer of honeycomb paperboard that aims to ensure a smooth transition with customers and maintain service quality.

The York, Pennsylvania facility will be closed permanently by no later than February 19, 2026. This plant specializes in the manufacturing of honeycomb packaging products, for which declining regional customer demand no longer ensured profitability. 37 employees will be impacted by this closure.

The Saint-Césaire facility specializes in the manufacturing of cardboard partitions for the beverage market. The plant's profitability has been negatively impacted over several years due to a continuous decrease in market demand. The plant's geographic distance from its main customers has also reduced its competitiveness. As a result, operations will cease no later than April 17, 2026, impacting 25 employees.

Cascades will work closely with the employees of these three plants to provide the support needed throughout this transition. Job search assistance resources will be offered by the company to those who require them. Cascades also encourages employees that are impacted by these decisions to apply for positions at its other facilities.

"Focusing Cascades' assets on its strategic markets is essential to achieving our optimization and profitability improvement objectives. The markets served by these plants no longer align with the business strategy of our Packaging sector. This refocusing will allow us to invest in strengthening our position as a partner of choice for customers in our priority sectors. I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the employees of these three facilities for their dedication and contributions over the years," said Hugues Simon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cascades.

These announcements do not affect the activities of the Cascades Sonoco – Berthierville plant, located adjacent to the Berthierville plant.

Founded in 1964, Cascades offers sustainable, innovative and value-added packaging, hygiene and recovery solutions. The company employs more than 9,000 talented people across a network of 60 operating facilities in North America. Driven by its participative management, half a century of experience in recycling, and continuous research and development efforts, Cascades continues to provide innovative products that customers have come to rely on, while contributing to the well-being of people, communities and the entire planet. Cascades' shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CAS.

Amazon and Google are winning the AI capex race — but what's the prize? stocknewsapi
AMZN GOOG GOOGL
Sometimes, it can seem like the AI industry is racing to see who can spend the most money on data centers. Whoever builds the most data centers will have the most compute, the thinking goes, and thus be able to build the best AI products, which will guarantee victory in the years to come. There are limits to this way of thinking — traditionally, businesses eventually succeed by making more money and spending less — but it’s proven remarkably persuasive for large tech companies.

If that is the game, Amazon does seem to be winning.

The company announced in its earnings on Thursday that it projects $200 billion in capital expenditures throughout 2026, across “AI, chips, robotics, and low earth orbit satellites.” That’s up from the $131.8 billion in capex in 2025. It’s tempting to attribute the whole capex budget to AI. But unlike most of its competitors, Amazon has a significant physical plant, some of which is being converted for use by expensive robots, so the non-AI expenses aren’t so easy to wave away.

Google is close behind. In its earnings on Wednesday, the company projected between $175 billion and $185 billion in capital expenditures for 2026, up from $91.4 billion the previous year. It’s significantly more than the company spent on fixed assets last year, and significantly more than most of its competitors are spending.

Meta, which reported last week, projected $115 to $135 billion in capex spending for 2026, while Oracle (once the poster child for AI infrastructure) projects a measly $50 billion. Microsoft doesn’t have an official projection for 2026 yet, but the most recent quarterly figure was $37.5 billion, which pencils out to roughly $150 billion, assuming it keeps up. It’s a notable increase, and one that has led to investor pressure on CEO Satya Nadella — but it still puts the company in third place.

From within the tech world, the logic here is simple. The revolutionary potential of AI is going to turn high-end compute into the scarce resource of the future, and only companies that control their own supply will survive. But while Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle and others are frantically prepping for the compute desert of the future, their investors aren’t convinced. Each company saw its stock price plummet as investors balked at the hundreds of billions of dollars being committed, and companies with higher spends tended to drop more.

Crucially, this isn’t just a problem for companies like Meta that haven’t figured out their AI product strategy yet. It’s everyone — even companies like Microsoft and Amazon with a robust cloud business and a straightforward take on how to make money in the AI era. The numbers are simply too high for investor comfort.

Techcrunch event

Boston, MA | June 23, 2026

Investor sentiment isn’t everything — and in this case, it may not do much to change the industry’s mind. If you believe AI is about to change everything (and the argument is pretty compelling at this point), you’d be a fool to change course just because Wall Street got jumpy. But going forward, big tech companies will be under a lot of pressure to downplay how expensive their AI ambitions really are.

SHAREHOLDER ACTION REMINDER: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Ardent Health stocknewsapi
ARDT
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses in Ardent to Contact Him Directly to Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in Ardent between July 18, 2024 and November 12, 2025 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

[You may also click here for additional information]

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Ardent Health, Inc. ("Ardent" or the "Company") (NYSE: ARDT) and reminds investors of the March 9, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose information regarding Ardent Health's accounts receivable. During the Class Period, Defendants publicly reported the Company's accounts receivable on a quarterly basis. In addition, Defendants represented that the Company maintained professional malpractice liability insurance in amounts "sufficient to cover claims arising out of its operations."

On November 12, 2025, Ardent announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2025. The Company revealed a $43 million reduction in its revenue due to accounting changes, and a $54 million increase in professional liability reserves.

On this news, Ardent's stock price fell $4.75 per share, or 33.81%, to close at $9.30 per share on November 13, 2025.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

I have the pleasure of introducing the CEO of NewLake Capital Partners, a sale-leaseback operator, Anthony Coniglio. Anthony, welcome.

Anthony Coniglio
President, CEO & Director

Hi, Pablo, how are you?

Pablo Zuanic
Zuanic & Associates

Doing fine, doing fine. Look, I mean, we're all waiting for that well. We were waiting for January 31, right? But now we're waiting, I guess, for February 15, from February 28 but we'll get to that. The focus of the call for the audience, it's about sale-leaseback about the NewLake Capital Partners business, what the stock can offer in the current macro context. And of course, we're also touch on macro things like rescheduling.

Anthony, a brief introduction about NewLake for those who are not so familiar with the company. And if you can try to benchmark your company in general top-down terms, your performance, growth, book, profitability defaults versus other -- the other sale-leaseback operator in cannabis, IIPR versus noncannabis sale-leaseback operators and then we'll come back to more NewLake specific questions later on. But whatever color you can give there would be good here at the start.

Anthony Coniglio
President, CEO & Director

Great. Well, Pablo, thanks for having me. There's a lot there. We'll get to all of that. If I miss some of what you asked, please, I'm sure you'll redirect me. And so for those that aren't familiar with our company, NewLake Capital Partners is a net lease REIT. We are the second largest owner of cannabis real estate in the U.S., and we're a sale-leaseback REIT. And what that means is that we purchase

Coty shifts focus to core brands under new CEO, withdraws full-year outlook stocknewsapi

SummaryCompaniesNew CEO Strobel says Coty's performance over past 18 months has been disappointingCoty sees Q3 core profit below estimates, with a 200-300 bps drop in gross marginReports Q2 revenue slightly above expectationsNet debt-to-adjusted core earnings ratio reaches nine-year lowFeb 5 (Reuters) - CoverGirl owner Coty (COTY.N), opens new tab withdrew its full-year guidance on Thursday as it launched a strategic focus on core brands, with new interim CEO Markus Strobel calling for improved discipline and execution to turn around sluggish financial performance.

Strobel, a Procter & Gamble veteran who took over from Sue Nabi on January 1, faces a tough challenge to revive sales, particularly in Coty's consumer cosmetics division, as competition from newer beauty brands and larger rivals such as L'Oréal (OREP.PA), opens new tab intensifies.

The Week in Breakingviews newsletter offers insights and ideas from Reuters' global financial commentary team. Sign up here.

Coty's shares were down about 7% after the bell. They have fallen by around 73% in the past two years.

Coty stock has underperformed the broader S&P 500 index and rivalsThe company was already concentrating efforts towards its prestige fragrances, initiating a strategic review in September of its consumer beauty division, which could lead to the sale of brands such as CoverGirl and Rimmel, but Strobel is now demanding even sharper focus.

CEO RUES 'DISAPPOINTING' FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE"Our financial performance over the past year and a half has been disappointing, and our current share price reflects that reality," Strobel said in a statement. "Coty has outstanding assets and capabilities, yet we have not been delivering at the level we should."

Coty reported a 0.5% year-on-year increase in net revenue for its second quarter, ended December 31, to $1.68 billion, slightly above analysts' expectations, but said it was anticipating Q3 gross margins to decline by 200 to 300 basis points from the year-ago period.

With advertising spending planned to reignite market share improvement, Coty expects third-quarter adjusted EBITDA to fall to $100-$110 million, well below analysts' average forecast of $201.6 million in core earnings for that quarter.

The strategic shift — named "Coty. Curated" — is about reducing complexity, CFO Laurent Mercier told Reuters, instilling a "less is more" mindset to drive core businesses and focus on key icons.

"We are going to select ... the big ones where we have great assets, where we know that we have the winners, and really reallocate this money on these assets."

Mercier highlighted Kylie Cosmetics, which has doubled in size in the past three years, as well as long-term licences with Burberry and Marc Jacobs as some of Coty's best assets.

DEBT AND LEVERAGE AT NINE-YEAR LOWSThe new plan may result in a leaner Coty. One for the chop is its licence with biotech-led skincare brand Orveda, co-founded by Coty's former CEO Nabi, as the company focuses on "scale, reach and profitability."

Coty sold its remaining 25.8% stake in hair care brand Wella to KKR (KKR.N), opens new tab for $750 million in December, using most of the proceeds to pay down long-term debt. The company's net debt to adjusted core earnings (EBITDA) ratio has now reached a nine-year low of 2.7x.

Coty said it may receive additional proceeds from an initial public offering of Wella, which sources told Reuters could happen in the U.S. as soon as this year.

Other headwinds remain. Coty is losing its exclusive Gucci fragrance and beauty licence in 2028 after Kering (PRTP.PA), opens new tab agreed to sell its beauty business to L'Oréal and ever more inflation-conscious shoppers are turning to affordable cosmetic brands such as Elf Beauty (ELF.N), opens new tab.

SHAREHOLDER ACTION REMINDER: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Gauzy stocknewsapi
GAUZ
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses in Gauzy to Contact Him Directly to Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in Gauzy between March 11, 2025 and November 13, 2025 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

[You may also click here for additional information]

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Gauzy Ltd. ("Gauzy" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: GAUZ) and reminds investors of the February 6, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) three of the Company's French subsidiaries lacked the financial means to meet their debts as they became due; (2) as a result, it was substantially likely insolvency proceedings would be commenced; (3) as a result, it was substantially likely a potential default under the Company's existing senior secured debt facilities would be triggered; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On November 14, 2025, before the market opened, Gauzy Ltd. shocked investors by announcing that the Commercial Court of Lyon had commenced Redressement Judiciaire-French insolvency proceedings-against three of the Company's French subsidiaries. According to Gauzy, Redressement Judiciaire is intended to preserve operations and employment while formulating a recovery plan; however, the Company further acknowledged that the initiation of these proceedings constitutes a default under its existing senior secured debt facilities and, if not cured, could trigger an event of default. Gauzy also disclosed that it would not release its third-quarter 2025 financial results on November 14 as previously scheduled due to these developments.

In response to this news, Gauzy's share price declined precipitously, falling $2.00 per share-or nearly 50%-over two trading days to close at $2.02 on November 17, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Gauzy's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

To learn more about the Gauzy class action, go to www.faruqilaw.com/GAUZ or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

SHAREHOLDER ACTION REMINDER: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Smart Digital stocknewsapi
SDM
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses in Smart Digital to Contact Him Directly to Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in Smart Digital between May 5, 2025 and September 26, 2025 at 9:34 AM EST and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Smart Digital Group Limited ("Smart Digital" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SDM) and reminds investors of the March 16, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) SDM was the subject of a market manipulation and fraudulent promotion scheme involving social-media based misinformation and impersonators posing as financial professionals; (2) insiders and/or affiliates used and/or intended to use offshore or nominee accounts to facilitate the coordinated dumping of shares during a price inflation campaign; (3) SDM's public statements and risk disclosures omitted any mention of realized risk of fraudulent trading or market manipulation used to drive the Company's stock price; (4) as a result, SDM securities were at unique risk of a sustained suspension in trading by either or both of the SEC and NASDAQ; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On September 26, 2025, the Company's stock price collapsed 86.4% to close at $1.85 per share following an intraday halt by the NASDAQ Stock Market (the "NASDAQ") for volatility just minutes after the market opened. Before the next trading day began, the SEC suspended trading in SDM securities from September 29, 2025, through October, 10, 2025, due to "potential manipulation" in the Company's securities "effectuated through recommendations made to investors by unknown persons via social media to purchase the securities of SDM, which appear to be designed to artificially inflate the price and volume of the securities of SDM." The SEC cautioned "broker-dealers, shareholders and prospective purchasers that they should carefully consider the foregoing information along with all other currently available information and any information subsequently issued by the company." With the SEC suspension scheduled to expire, on October 11, 2025, NASDAQ suspended trading in SDM securities pending a request for additional information. At the time of this filing, trading in SDM securities remains suspended with no end in sight.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Smart Digital's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

To learn more about the Smart Digital class action, go to www.faruqilaw.com/SDM or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

ROSEN, LEADING TRIAL ATTORNEYS, Encourages Bath & Body Works, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action - BBWI stocknewsapi
BBWI
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Bath & Body Works, Inc. (NYSE: BBWI) between June 4, 2024 and November 19, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important March 16, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Bath & Body Works 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 Bath & Body Works class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50622 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 March 16, 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 handle 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, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, and that defendants failed to disclose that: (1) Bath & Body Works' strategy of pursuing "adjacencies, collaborations and promotions" was not growing the customer base and/or delivering the level of growth in net sales touted; (2) as Bath & Body Works' strategy of "adjacencies, collaborations and promotions" faltered, it relied on brand collaborations "to carry quarters" and obfuscate otherwise weak underlying financial results; (3) as a result, Bath & Body Works was unlikely to meet its own previously issued financial guidance; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Bath & Body Works' business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Body & Body Works class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50622 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.

Cascades Announces Exit from Honeycomb Packaging and Partition Business Segments stocknewsapi
CADNF
, /PRNewswire/ - Cascades Inc. (TSX: CAS) announces the discontinuation of its activities in the honeycomb paperboard and partition packaging product sectors. As a result, its three plants located in York, PA, and Saint-Césaire and Berthierville, QC, will be closed.

Cascades is committed to optimizing its operating platform and business activities by focusing on its strategic markets as a partner of choice for its customers. The plants being closed specialize in niche markets that are no longer aligned with the company's long-term growth plans.

The assets have been acquired by the company Emballages LM, located in Saint-François-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud, QC, for approximately $9 million. Emballages LM is a major North American producer of honeycomb paperboard that aims to ensure a smooth transition with customers and maintain service quality.

The closure of the Berthierville honeycomb packaging plant is effective immediately, impacting 52 employees. The company Emballages LM, located in Saint‑François‑de‑la‑Rivière‑du‑Sud, QC, will acquire certain assets later today for approximately $9 million. Emballages LM is a major North American producer of honeycomb paperboard that aims to ensure a smooth transition with customers and maintain service quality.

The York, Pennsylvania facility will be closed permanently by no later than February 19, 2026. This plant specializes in the manufacturing of honeycomb packaging products, for which declining regional customer demand no longer ensured profitability. 37 employees will be impacted by this closure.

The Saint-Césaire facility specializes in the manufacturing of cardboard partitions for the beverage market. The plant's profitability has been negatively impacted over several years due to a continuous decrease in market demand. The plant's geographic distance from its main customers has also reduced its competitiveness. As a result, operations will cease no later than April 17, 2026, impacting 25 employees.

Cascades will work closely with the employees of these three plants to provide the support needed throughout this transition. Job search assistance resources will be offered by the company to those who require them. Cascades also encourages employees that are impacted by these decisions to apply for positions at its other facilities.

"Focusing Cascades' assets on its strategic markets is essential to achieving our optimization and profitability improvement objectives. The markets served by these plants no longer align with the business strategy of our Packaging sector. This refocusing will allow us to invest in strengthening our position as a partner of choice for customers in our priority sectors. I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the employees of these three facilities for their dedication and contributions over the years," said Hugues Simon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cascades.

These announcements do not affect the activities of the Cascades Sonoco – Berthierville plant, located adjacent to the Berthierville plant.

Founded in 1964, Cascades offers sustainable, innovative and value-added packaging, hygiene and recovery solutions. The company employs more than 9,000 talented people across a network of 60 operating facilities in North America. Driven by its participative management, half a century of experience in recycling, and continuous research and development efforts, Cascades continues to provide innovative products that customers have come to rely on, while contributing to the well-being of people, communities and the entire planet. Cascades' shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CAS.

SHAREHOLDER INVESTIGATION REMINDER: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Wealthfront stocknewsapi
WLTH
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Significant Losses in Wealthfront to Contact Him Directly to Discuss Their Options

If you suffered significant losses in Wealthfront stock or options and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

[You may also click here for additional information]

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Wealthfront Corporation ("Wealthfront" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: WLTH).

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

Shares of Wealthfront Corporation declined sharply following the company's first post-IPO earnings release, pressured by disappointing asset flow figures and emerging investor concerns about strategic exposures underpinning its mortgage business. The stock sell-off came as Wealthfront reported softer net inflows in recent months, signaling a slowdown in client acquisitions and cash management balances relative to prior periods. Additionally, heightened market scrutiny over the CEO's ownership stake in a banking partner central to the firm's mortgage initiative has added to investor uncertainty, fueling speculation around potential conflicts of interest and long-term integration risks.

Since the company's IPO on or around December 12, 2025, at $14.00 per share, the stock has fallen $3.74, or 26.71%, to close at $10.26 on January 14, 2026.

To learn more about the Wealthfront investigation, go to www.faruqilaw.com/WLTH or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).
