RGNX Stockholder Alert: Robbins LLP Remind Investors of the Class Action Lawsuit Against REGENXBIO, Inc.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins LLP reminds stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired REGENXBIO, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGNX) securities between February 9, 2022 and January 27, 2026. REGENXBIO is a clinical-stage biotechnology company providing gene therapies that deliver functional genes to cells with genetic defects in the United States.
For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003.
The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that REGENXBIO, Inc. (RGNX) Misled Investors Regarding the Viability of its Drug Candidate RGX-111
According to the complaint, defendants continually touted RGX-111 as one of its lead clinical-stage AAV therapeutic product candidate RGX-111 for the treatment of MPS I using its proprietary NAV AAVP vector. Further, defendants announced in 2018 that RGX-111 had been granted Fast Track designation by the FDA and repeatedly represented that the Phase I/II RGX-111 studies were reporting positive results consistently highlighting "positive interim safety, tolerability, and biomarker data." Plaintiff alleges that in truth, defendants were aware of the serious safety issues relating to the RGX-111 study including the potential for CNS neoplasm and in November 2023 abruptly decided to de-prioritize its second-most advanced clinical candidate, RGX-111, and seek "strategic alternatives" for the program.
The complaint continues that on January 28, 2026, defendants announced that the FDA placed a clinical hold on its investigational gene therapy RGX-111 following preliminary analysis of a single case of neoplasm (intraventricular CNS tumor) in a participant treated in its Phase I. Further, the FDA also placed a clinical hold on RGX-121 citing "the similarities in products, study populations, and shared risk between the clinical studies." On this news, the price of REGENXBIO's common stock declined from a closing market price of $13.41 per share on January 28, 2026 to $11.01 per share on January 28, 2026, a decline of 17.8% in the span of just a single day.
What Now: You may be eligible to participate in the class action against REGENXBIO, Inc. Shareholders who wish to serve as lead plaintiff for the class must submit their papers to the court by April 14, 2026. The lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. You do not have to participate in the case to be eligible for a recovery. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member. For more information, click here.

ENPH Stockholder Alert: Shareholder Rights Law Firm Robbins LLP Reminds Investors of the Class Action Lawsuit Against Enphase Energy, Inc.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins LLP reminds stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH) securities between April 22, 2025 and October 28, 2025. Enphase is a global energy technology company focusing on solutions for solar generation, storage, and communication.
For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003.
The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Enphase Energy, Inc. (ENPH) Misled Investors Regarding its Ability to Manage its Channel Inventory
According to the complaint, during the class period defendants failed to disclose that: (i) Enphase overstated its ability to manage its channel inventory; (ii) Enphase overstated its ability to mitigate effects arising from the termination of the 25D Credit (which allowed homeowners to deduct 30% of costs of clean energy property they install at their homes) on December 31, 2025 instead of December 21, 2032; and (iii) accordingly, Enphase overstated its financial and operational prospects.
Plaintiff alleges that on October 28, 2025, Enphase reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2025 and held a related earnings call. Among other items, Enphase's management reported that it expected 2025 to close on a weak note, with elevated channel inventory resulting in lower battery storage shipments in the fourth quarter, and that the expiration of the 25D Credit would negatively impact revenues for the first quarter of 2026. On this news, Enphase's stock price fell $5.56 per share, or 15.15%, to close at $31.14 per share on October 29, 2025.
What Now: You may be eligible to participate in the class action against Enphase Energy, Inc. Shareholders who wish to serve as lead plaintiff for the class should contact Robbins LLP. The lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. You do not have to participate in the case to be eligible for a recovery.

Viscount Mining Announces $5.0 Million Brokered LIFE Offering Led by Centurion One Capital
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 18, 2026) - Viscount Mining Corp. (TSXV: VML) (OTCQB: VLMGF) ("Viscount" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Centurion One Capital Corp. (the "Lead Agent") as lead agent and sole bookrunner, in connection with a brokered private placement to raise up to $5,000,000 (the "Offering") through the sale of up to 6,250,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at an issue price of $0.80 per Unit (the "Issue Price") on a best efforts basis. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (each, a "Share") and one-half of one Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $1.20 per Warrant Share for a period of three years from the Closing Date (as defined herein).
The Company has granted the Lead Agent an option (the "Agents' Option") to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional 6,250,000 Units at the Issue Price, for additional gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 on the same terms and conditions as set out herein. The Agent's Option is exercisable in whole or in part at any time, up to two business days prior to the Closing Date.
The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used for capital expenditures and general working capital purposes, including advancement of the Company's exploration programs and corporate initiatives.
The Units will be offered for sale (i) by way of private placement pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under section 5A.2 of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, as amended and supplemented by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption") in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, (ii) in the United States pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and applicable U.S. state securities laws, and (iii) in jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States as mutually agreed to by the Company and the Lead Agent, provided it is understood that no prospectus filing, registration or comparable obligation arises in such other jurisdiction. The securities issued under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will not be subject to a statutory hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.
There is an offering document (the "Offering Document") related to this Offering that can be accessed under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at www.viscountmining.com. Prospective investors should read this Offering Document before making an investment decision.
In connection with the Offering, commissions will be payable in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").
The Offering is expected to close on or around February 27, 2026, or such other date as agreed upon between the Company and the Lead Agent (the "Closing Date") and is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the Exchange.
It is anticipated that certain insiders of the Company, the Lead Agent and certain affiliates may acquire Units in the Offering in amounts up to approximately 10% of the Offering. Any participation by related parties of the Company in the Offering will constitute a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company expects such participation will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the Units subscribed for by the related parties, nor the consideration for the Units paid by such related parties, is expected to exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
Qualified Persons
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Harald Hoegberg PG, an independent consulting geologist who is a "Qualified Person" ("QP") as such term is defined under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").
About Viscount Mining Corp. (TSXV: VML) (OTCQB: VLMGF)
Viscount Mining Corp. is a project generator and mineral exploration company focused on advancing high-quality silver, gold, and copper assets in the Western United States. The Company's portfolio includes the Silver Cliff silver project in Colorado and the Cherry Creek multi-metal district in Nevada.
Silver Cliff Project — Colorado
The Silver Cliff project is located in the historic Hardscrabble Silver District and comprises 96 lode claims with year-round paved access and established local infrastructure. The project covers a large volcanic caldera system recognized for its silver, gold, and base-metal potential.
The property includes two principal zones of focus:
Kate Deposit (Silver Resource Area): The Kate hosts a NI 43-101 compliant near-surface silver resource published by an independent QP (details: Measured & Indicated and Inferred silver resources were reported in the Company's technical disclosure; investors are encouraged to review the full technical report available on SEDAR+ for tonnage, grade, and methodology).
Passiflora Porphyry Target: Historical and modern drilling indicate extensive hydrothermal alteration consistent with a large porphyry system. Recent drilling by Viscount (hole PF-23-03A) intersected 843.9 metres of continuous copper-gold mineralization averaging 0.214% CuEq, including multiple higher-grade zones such as 189 m at 0.326% CuEq and 45 m at 0.417% CuEq (as previously disclosed in the Company's August 14, 2025 press release prepared with the assistance of Mr. Harald Hoegberg). The Company interprets this as being on the periphery of a potentially larger intrusive centre. Mineralization remains open in multiple directions.
Cherry Creek Project — Nevada
The Cherry Creek project covers 219 unpatented and 9 patented claims in a well-known historic mining district approximately 50 miles north of Ely. The property includes more than 20 past-producing mines and hosts several styles of mineralization, including silver-gold veins, carbonate-replacement (CRD) zones, jasperoids, and porphyry-related alteration. The district is 100% controlled by Viscount and is considered highly prospective for multi-metal discoveries within the broader mineralized system.
Viscount's strategy is to acquire, explore, and advance high-potential mineral properties through systematic geological work, while continuing to build partnerships that support long-term development.

Business Highlights:
In 2025, the Corporation continued to grow organically while integrating the FLYHT acquisition. FTG is strategically investing its capital in ways that will drive increased shareholder returns for the future in both the near term and long term. The company's achievements in 2025 demonstrate this commitment, laying a strong foundation for continued growth.
Growing FTG’s defence business: FTG Circuits recently qualified for two significant classified defence programs. Delivery is expected to start in 2026 and ramp up through 2027. FTG will also benefit from increasing demand on legacy defence programs.Diversifying and reducing exposure to U.S. tariff risks: In 2025, FTG ramped up deliveries in support of the C919, China’s first domestic single-aisle passenger jet, to keep pace with accelerating production schedules. During the year, De Haviland Aircraft of Canada Ltd. also selected FTG to provide updated cockpit control assemblies for the new De Havilland Canadair 515 (DHC-515) aerial firefighting aircraft. FTG completed its first deliveries on the De Havilland program in Q4 2025.Creating value from the FLYHT acquisition: Following the acquisition of FLYHT in early 2025, FTG obtained Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) for AFIRS Edge+™ for the Boeing 737 family of aircraft in Canada, U.S. and China for and for the Airbus A320 family of aircraft in Canada, Europe and China. The transition of AFIRS Edge+™ to in-house production is now underway and FTG recently delivered its first AFIRS Edge+™ product to an airline in Asia, marking key milestones in value creation from the FLYHT acquisition.Strengthening the FTG team: FTG continues to bolster its leadership bench strength at all levels. During 2025, FTG appointed a new CFO, EVPs for both the Circuits and Aerospace segments as well as key site leaders due to retirement and organizational growth. Also during the year, FTG appointed Russell David, CPA, ICD.D and Christine Forget, ICD.D to the FTG Board of Directors. Russell has served as a board member and senior executive of corporations and as a senior partner at Deloitte in corporate finance and M&A advisory. Christine has served as a board member and senior executive of several corporations including as VP, Global Procurement at Bombardier. Table 1: Key Financial Metrics (Year-to-Date)

PYPL Stockholder Alert: Shareholder Rights Law Firm Robbins LLP Reminds Investors of the Class Action Lawsuit Against PayPal Holdings, Inc.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins LLP reminds stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) securities between February 25, 2025 and February 2, 2026. PayPal is an international company that enables digital payments to simplify commerce experiences.
For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003.
The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL) Misled Investors Regarding its Branded Checkout Offerings
According to the complaint, defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the Company's projected revenue outlook and anticipated growth while also minimizing risk from seasonality and macroeconomic fluctuations. In truth, PayPal's optimistic plan for growth through various initiatives to bolster the Company's Branded Checkout offerings fell short of reality as the 2027 targets were not achievable under the tenure of defendant Chriss as CEO; they required both an unrealistically stable consumer landscape and strong execution with clear direction from PayPal and its management. PayPal was simply not equipped to execute on defendants' claimed growth potential.
Plaintiff alleges that on February 3, 2026, PayPal published disappointing fourth quarter and full fiscal year financial results. The release also noted that defendant Chriss had been replaced by "Enrique Lores as President and CEO, effective March 1, 2026." During the related earnings call, it was noted how the branded checkout was pacing below expectations. On this news, the price of PayPal stock fell from $52.33 per share on February 2, 2026, to $41.70 per share on February 3, 2026, a decline of about 20.31% in the span of just a single day.
What Now: You may be eligible to participate in the class action against PayPal Holdings, Inc. Shareholders who wish to serve as lead plaintiff for the class should contact Robbins LLP. The lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. You do not have to participate in the case to be eligible for a recovery.

FCC Approves Rules to Expand 900 MHz Band to 10 MHz
Transition to 10 MHz Broadband in 900 MHz Band Builds on Proven Success of Anterix-Enabled Private Wireless Broadband Deployments February 18, 2026 16:45 ET | Source: Anterix Inc.
WOODLAND PARK, N.J., Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anterix (NASDAQ: ATEX), the market leader in mission-critical private wireless broadband spectrum, is pleased to report that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has unanimously adopted a groundbreaking Report and Order (R&O), “Maximizing the Potential of the 900 MHz Band,” enabling broadband deployment across the full 10 megahertz of the 900 MHz band, unlocking opportunities for Anterix and its ecosystem of innovators.
The decision by the Commission is the culmination of a joint petition filed by Anterix, alongside a coalition of leading energy and technology organizations including Ameren, Enterprise Wireless Alliance, Evergy, Lower Colorado River Authority, Portland General Electric, San Diego Gas & Electric, Southern Company’s Southern Linc, Utility Broadband Alliance, and Xcel Energy, seeking authority to expand the 900 MHz broadband segment from 6 MHz to a robust 10 MHz 5x5 configuration.
According to the FCC’s press release, “The spectrum resources made available through today’s Commission action will stimulate the American economy by driving innovation by utilities, critical infrastructure, and other sectors.”
“Anterix applauds Chairman Carr, Commissioner Gomez, Commissioner Trusty, and the Commission staff for recognizing the value of modern private broadband communications and that high-quality, low-band spectrum is a finite resource,” said Anterix Chief Regulatory and Corporate Communications Officer Christopher Guttman-McCabe.
“By expanding this band to 10 MHz, the FCC has unlocked a super pipe for mission-critical communications across a range of sectors,” Guttman-McCabe continued. “As our ecosystem of innovators continues to grow, we believe this spectrum is rapidly becoming a gold standard for any entity that cannot afford to share its connectivity with the public or risk its operations on congested bands. Together with the products that Anterix has launched and will launch, as well as the innovation occurring across our ecosystem, the future of this band and the enterprises that adopt it is incredibly bright. The Commission’s vote is a sterling example of sound spectrum policy that is a win-win both for America, as well as for the innovators that will drive value through the evolution and deployment of this spectrum.”
“Enabling broadband across the full 10 MHz of this band expands our opportunity to bring modern connectivity for any device that requires reliable, private, and secure communications,” said Anterix President & CEO Scott Lang. “While this spectrum historically has been the bedrock for utilities, the expansion to 10 MHz signals a new era where 900 MHz is a foundational layer for all critical connectivity. The window of opportunity to secure this unique, high-penetration spectrum is narrowing as more industries recognize that it is the only viable path to true operational sovereignty at scale. I am grateful to the FCC for their efforts to maximize the 900 MHz band.”
More information is available in the FCC’s press release announcing the R&O.

Rosen Law Firm Encourages Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. Investors to Inquire About Securities Class Action Investigation - PXED
Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues to investigate potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Phoenix Education Partners, Inc. (NYSE: PXED) resulting from allegations that Phoenix Education may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
So What: If you purchased Phoenix Education securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
What to do next: To join the prospective class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50770 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.
What is this about: On January 3, 2026, Fox News published an article entitled "University of Phoenix data breach hits 3.5M people." The story stated that the "University of Phoenix has confirmed a major data breach affecting nearly 3.5 million people. The incident traces back to August when attackers accessed the university's network and quietly stole sensitive information."
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. 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.

Tenaris Announces 2025 Fourth Quarter and Annual Results
The financial and operational information contained in this press release is based on audited consolidated financial statements presented in U.S. dollars and prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board and adopted by the European Union, or IFRS. Additionally, this press release includes non-IFRS alternative performance measures i.e., EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Net cash / debt and Operating working capital days. See exhibit I for more details on these alternative performance measures.
LUXEMBOURG, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tenaris S.A. (NYSE and Mexico: TS and EXM Italy: TEN) (“Tenaris”) today announced its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 in comparison with its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.
Summary of 2025 Fourth Quarter Results
(Comparison with third quarter of 2025 and fourth quarter of 2024)
4Q 20253Q 20254Q 2024Net sales ($ million)2,9952,9781%2,8455%Operating income ($ million)554597(7%)558(1%)Net income ($ million)4614532%519(11%)Shareholders’ net income ($ million)4494461%516(13%)Earnings per ADS ($)0.870.852%0.94(7%)Earnings per share ($)0.440.432%0.47(7%)EBITDA* ($ million)717753(5%)726(1%)EBITDA margin (% of net sales)23.9%25.3% 25.5% *EBITDA in the third quarter of 2025 includes a $34 million gain recorded for the return of U.S. antidumping deposits paid on OCTG imports from Argentina for which the duty rate had been revised downwards. If this gain was not included EBITDA would have amounted to $719 million, or 24.1% of sales.
In the fourth quarter, our sales to Rig Direct® customers in the United States and Canada continued to show resilience as did our Tubes sales in other regions, and, in Argentina we resumed our fracking and coiled tubing services. Our margins held up well, despite reflecting the full impact of the 50% Section 232 tariffs, as we brought our Koppel steel shop back on line following a transformer outage and we had an efficient industrial performance.
During the quarter, our free cash flow amounted to $665 million and, after spending $300 million on dividends and $537 million on share buybacks, our net cash position amounted to $3.3 billion at December 31, 2025.
Market Background and Outlook
Although oil and gas prices remain volatile amidst contrasting near-term oversupply and geopolitical concerns, oil and gas companies are looking at a resilient longer-term demand outlook and the need to replace production declines as they advance their investment plans. Drilling activity in the United States and Canada is expected to remain near current levels after the modest decline seen in the second half of 2025. In the rest of the world, we do not expect major changes compared to current activity levels in the near term.
In the United States, despite the increase in tariffs on imported steel products, OCTG prices are still around the same level as before the application of the tariffs. We expect that they will eventually respond to the tariffs on imports and the increases in raw material costs for domestic producers.
For the first quarter of 2026, we expect our sales and margins to remain close to current levels.
Annual Dividend Proposal
Upon approval of the Company´s annual accounts, the board of directors intends to propose, for approval of the annual general shareholders’ meeting to be held on May 12, 2026, the payment of a dividend per share of $0.89 (in an aggregate amount of approximately $900 million), which would include the interim dividend per share of $0.29 (approximately $300 million) paid in November 2025. If the annual dividend is approved by the shareholders, a dividend of $0.60 per share ($1.20 per ADS), or approximately $600 million, will be paid according to the following timetable:
Payment date: May 20, 2026Record date: May 19, 2026Ex-dividend for securities listed in Europe and Mexico: May 18, 2026Ex-dividend for securities listed in the United States: May 19, 2026 Analysis of 2025 Fourth Quarter Results
Tubes
The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, sales volumes of seamless and welded pipes for the periods indicated below:

The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, net sales by geographic region, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

(Net sales - $ million) North America1,4551,4500%1,13129%South America501520(4%)595(16%)Europe187189(1%)341(45%)Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa697716(3%)62911%Total net sales ($ million)2,8392,875(1%)2,6955%Services performed on third party tubes ($ million)107109(2%)9315%Operating income ($ million)516592(13%)533(3%)Operating margin (% of sales)18.2%20.6% 19.8%
Net sales of tubular products and services decreased 1% sequentially and increased 5% year on year. Sequentially the decline in sales is due to the 1% decline in volumes while average selling prices remained flat. In North America we had higher sales of OCTG in the United States offset by lower sales of line pipe in the United States and Mexico. In South America we had lower sales of line pipe in Argentina following completion of deliveries to the Vaca Muerta Sur pipeline in the third quarter. In Europe we had slightly higher sales of mechanical and hydrocarbon process industry products (HPI) and slightly lower sales of OCTG and offshore line pipe. In Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa we had lower OCTG sales in sub-Saharan Africa, Kuwait and UAE, partially compensated by a recovery in sales in Saudi Arabia.
Operating results from tubular products and services amounted to a gain of $516 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to a gain of $592 million in the previous quarter and a gain of $533 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. In the third quarter of 2025 Tubes operating income included a $34 million gain reflecting the return of U.S. antidumping deposits paid on OCTG imports from Argentina for which the duty rate had been revised downwards. The sequential reduction in operating income is mainly due to the full impact of tariff costs in the United States, partially offset by a better industrial performance.
Others
The following table indicates, for our Others business segment, net sales, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:
Others4Q 20253Q 20254Q 2024Net sales ($ million)15610351%1504%Operating income ($ million)385713%2549%Operating margin (% of sales)24.2%4.5% 16.8%
Net sales of other products and services increased 51% sequentially and increased 4% year on year. Sequentially, sales and operating income increased mainly due to the resumption of sales of oil and gas fracking and coiled tubing services in Argentina.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $453 million, or 15.1% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $435 million, 14.6% in the previous quarter and $446 million, 15.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The sequential increase is mainly due to higher provisions for contingencies, partially offset by a decrease in selling expenses, taxes and labor costs.
Other operating results amounted to a loss of $8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $415 thousand in the previous quarter and a $81 million gain in the fourth quarter of 2024. The fourth quarter of 2024 included a $67 million gain from the partial reversal of a provision related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas.
Financial results amounted to a gain of $29 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a gain of $37 million in the previous quarter and a gain of $48 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Financial result of the quarter is mainly attributable to a $38 million net finance income from the return of our portfolio investments partially offset by foreign exchange and derivatives results.
Equity in earnings (losses) of non-consolidated companies generated a gain of $20 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a loss of $9 million in the previous quarter and a gain of $35 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. These results are mainly derived from our participation in Ternium (NYSE:TX) and in the fourth quarter of 2024 it included a $43 million gain from the reversal of a provision related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas.
Income tax charge amounted to $142 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $172 million in the previous quarter and $123 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Income tax of the quarter declined mainly due to the positive effect from foreign exchange rate movements and inflation adjustment.
Cash Flow and Liquidity of 2025 Fourth Quarter
Net cash generated by operating activities during the fourth quarter of 2025 was $787 million, compared to $318 million in the previous quarter and $492 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2025 cash generated by operating activities includes a net working capital reduction of $110 million.
With capital expenditures of $123 million, our free cash flow amounted to $665 million during the quarter. Following dividend payments of $300 million and share buybacks of $537 million in the quarter, our net cash position amounted to $3.3 billion at December 31, 2025.

Our results in 2025 showed the resilience of our operations in the face of lower drilling activity in key markets including the United States, Canada, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. In particular, our sales in North America were supported by the ongoing consolidation in the oil and gas sector and the value that our US and Canadian customers attribute to our Rig Direct® service model, which more than compensated for the decline in activity in Mexico. Our margins were also resilient as we responded to the challenge of the tariffs imposed on our imports of steel bars and pipes into the United States, and we maintained our earnings per share with the benefit of our buyback program.
Cash flow provided by operating activities amounted to $2.6 billion during 2025, including a reduction in working capital of $48 million. After capital expenditures of $617 million, our free cash flow amounted to $2.0 billion. Following a dividend payments of $900 million and share buybacks for $1,362 million in the year, our net cash position amounted to $3.3 billion at the end of December 2025.

Net sales of tubular products and services decreased 4% to $11,400 million in 2025, compared to $11,907 million in 2024 due to a decrease in average selling prices. In North America we had higher sales in the United States and Canada reflecting the consolidation of our market positioning partially offset by lower sales of OCTG in Mexico reflecting the downturn in drilling activity. In South America sales declined due to lower prices and lower pipeline shipments in Argentina and lower sales in Venezuela partially offset by higher sales of offshore risers, flowlines and coating in Brazil. In Europe we had lower sales of offshore line pipe and OCTG in Turkey. In Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa we had lower OCTG sales in Saudi Arabia and China, largely offset by higher OCTG sales in Kuwait and UAE, higher sales of line pipe for downstream processing projects and for offshore pipelines in sub-Saharan Africa.
Operating results from tubular products and services amounted to a gain of $2,176 million in 2025 compared to a gain of $2,305 million in 2024. Tubes operating income in 2025 includes a $34 million gain from the return of U.S. antidumping deposits paid on OCTG imports from Argentina for which the duty rate had been revised downwards and in 2024 included a $107 million loss from the provision for the ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas. Excluding these one off events the decline in Tubes operating income is mainly due to the reduction in average selling prices and the cost of Section 232 tariffs.
Others
The following table indicates, for our Others business segment, net sales, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

Net sales of other products and services decreased 6% to $581 million in 2025, compared to $617 million in 2024. We had lower sales of sucker rods due to a reduction in drilling activity in mature field in Argentina and lower sales of scrap and excess energy to third parties.
Operating results from other products and services amounted to a gain of $107 million in 2025, compared to a gain of $113 million in 2024. These results are mainly attributable to our oilfied services business in Argentina, our sucker rods and our coiled tubing businesses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $1,828 million in 2025, representing 15.3% of sales, and $1,905 million in 2024, representing 15.2% of sales. SG&A decreased due to a reduction in labor costs, taxes and other expenses partially offset by an increase in selling expenses and in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Other operating results amounted to a loss of $9 million in 2025, compared to a loss of $65 million in 2024. In 2024 we recorded a $107 million loss from provision for the ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas.
Financial results amounted to a gain of $133 million in 2025, compared to a gain of $129 million in 2024. Financial result of the year is mainly attributable to a $205 million net finance income from the return of our portfolio investments partially offset by foreign exchange, derivatives results and others.
Equity in (losses) earnings of non-consolidated companies generated a gain of $58 million in 2025, compared to a gain of $9 million in 2024. These results were mainly derived from our equity investments in Ternium (NYSE:TX), Usiminas and Techgen.
Income tax amounted to a charge of $501 million in 2025, compared to $480 million in 2024.
Cash Flow and Liquidity of 2025
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2025 amounted to $2.6 billion (including a reduction in working capital of $48 million), compared to cash provided by operations of $2.9 billion (net of a reduction in working capital of $287 million) in 2024.
Capital expenditures amounted to $617 million in 2025, compared to $694 million in 2024. Free cash flow amounted to $2.0 billion in 2025, compared to $2.2 billion in 2024.
Following dividend payments of $900 million in 2025 and share buybacks of $1,362 million during 2025, our net cash position amounted to $3.3 billion at the end of December 2025.

Alternative performance measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
EBITDA, Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
EBITDA provides an analysis of the operating results excluding depreciation and amortization and impairments, as they are recurring non-cash variables which can vary substantially from company to company depending on accounting policies and the accounting value of the assets. EBITDA is an approximation to pre-tax operating cash flow and reflects cash generation before working capital variation. EBITDA is widely used by investors when evaluating businesses (multiples valuation), as well as by rating agencies and creditors to evaluate the level of debt, comparing EBITDA with net debt.
EBITDA is calculated in the following manner:
EBITDA = Net income for the period + Income tax charges +/- Equity in Earnings (losses) of non-consolidated companies +/- Financial results + Depreciation and amortization +/- Impairment charges/(reversals).
EBITDA is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

Free cash flow is a measure of financial performance, calculated as operating cash flow less capital expenditures. FCF represents the cash that a company is able to generate after spending the money required to maintain or expand its asset base.
Free cash flow is calculated in the following manner:
Free cash flow = Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities - Capital expenditures.
Free cash flow is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

This is the net balance of cash and cash equivalents, other current investments and fixed income investments held to maturity less total borrowings. It provides a summary of the financial solvency and liquidity of the company. Net cash / (debt) is widely used by investors and rating agencies and creditors to assess the company’s leverage, financial strength, flexibility and risks.
Net cash/ debt is calculated in the following manner:
Net cash = Cash and cash equivalents + Other investments (Current and Non-Current)+/- Derivatives hedging borrowings and investments - Borrowings (Current and Non-Current).

Operating working capital days
Operating working capital is the difference between the main operating components of current assets and current liabilities. Operating working capital is a measure of a company’s operational efficiency, and short-term financial health.
Operating working capital days is calculated in the following manner:
Operating working capital days = [(Inventories + Trade receivables – Trade payables – Customer advances) / Annualized quarterly sales ] x 365.

OST Investor Notice: Shareholder Rights Law Firm Robbins LLP Reminds Investors of the Class Action Lawsuit Against Ostin Technology Group Co., Ltd.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins LLP reminds stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Ostin Technology Group Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: OST) ordinary shares between May 11, 2025 and June 26, 2025. OST purports to be a manufacturer of thin-film transistor liquid crystal display ("TFT-LCD") modules and polarizers used in consumer electronics, commercial LCD displays, and automotive displays.
For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003.
The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Ostin Technology Group Co., Ltd. (OST) Engaged in a Pump-and-Dump Scheme that Defrauded Investors
According to the complaint, on September 12, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed a criminal indictment in the Eastern District of Virginia charging defendants Lai Kui Sen, OST's co-Chief Executive Officer, and Yan Zhao, a financial advisor, with conspiracy to commit
securities fraud under Title 18, and wire fraud and securities fraud under Title 15. The indictment alleges that the defendants, along with at least fifteen coconspirators, orchestrated a scheme that netted over $110 million in illicit proceeds.
Plaintiff alleges that beginning in April 2025, Lai Kui Sen and co-conspirators engineered a fraudulent sequence of securities offerings specifically designed to place the majority of OST shares in the hands of at least fifteen co-conspirators for pennies per share or, in many cases, for no consideration whatsoever. These securities offerings were synchronized with a fraudulent campaign to artificially inflate the price and trading volume of the OST stock through social media and messaging service applications, including paid promotions that impersonated actual investment advisors and financial professionals.
During the class period, the fraudulent promotional campaign artificially inflated the value of OST from an approximately $22 million company (based on a stock price of $0.78 on April 14, 2025) into a greater than $1 billion company by market capitalization (based on a peak stock price of $9.40 on June 26, 2025). As OST's stock price rose, Yan Zhao and Lai Kui Sen facilitated the opening of brokerage accounts on behalf of co-conspirators, which were used to hold the millions of OST shares that were obtained through non-bona fide securities offerings to the co-conspirators.
On June 26, 2025, OST investors suffered devastating losses when the selloff destroyed over $950 million (representing over 94%) of OST's market capitalization in a single day. The stock plummeted from an intraday high of $9.40 to a closing price of $0.55.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
What’s Happening:
Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Masonite International Corporation (“Masonite” or the “Company”) (NYSE:DOOR) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons and entities who sold Masonite International Corporation common stock between June 5, 2023 and February 8, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors have until April 7, 2026 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
Allegation Details:
The Masonite class action lawsuit alleges that at the time that Masonite was repurchasing Masonite stock throughout the Class Period, defendants knew that Masonite had received multiple formal acquisition offers from Owens Corning to purchase all outstanding shares of Masonite common stock at prices significantly above the then-current market prices of Masonite common stock, and therefore significantly above the prices at which Masonite was repurchasing Masonite common stock from unsuspecting class members. Thus, Masonite had an obligation to disclose that it had received these formal acquisition offers from Owens Corning or abstain from purchasing Masonite stock from unsuspecting investors, according to the Masonite shareholder class action lawsuit.
Next Steps:

Vancouver, British Columbia, February 18, 2026 — TheNewswire - Noveris Health Sciences Inc. (the “Company”) (CSE: NVRS) (FSE: 0NF0) (OTC: MYCOF) announces that it is providing additional disclosure regarding the previously announced issuance of certain convertible debentures approved by shareholders at the Company’s October 1, 2025 annual general and special meeting.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s management information circular dated August 20, 2025 (the “Circular”) and news release dated October 14, 2025, the Company issued convertible debentures in connection with debt settlement transactions.
Convertible Debentures
On October 14, 2025, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the principal amount of CAD $1,309,836 to Mr. David Joshua Bartch, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, in settlement of unpaid management fees (the “Bartch Convertible Debenture”).
The Bartch Convertible Debenture matures one year from issuance and is convertible, at the holder’s option, following four (4) months and one (1) day from issuance, at a conversion price equal to the greater of: (i) the 20-day trailing volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares as of the conversion date, and (ii) the minimum conversion price permitted by the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) and/or applicable securities regulatory authorities.
Mr. Bartch currently holds 29,519 common shares and nil other convertible securities of the Company.
On October 14, 2025, the Company issued a convertible debenture to Pioneer Garage Limited (“Pioneer”), a non-arm’s length party to the Company, in the aggregate amount of CAD $7,878,792 (the “Pioneer Convertible Debenture”). This amount represents (i) CAD $6,815,479.45 attributable to the convertible debenture balance, (ii) CAD $293,312.30 for invoices paid by Pioneer on the Company’s behalf and (iii) CAD $110,000 of equity consideration (valued for financial reporting purposes) and CAD $660,000 in cash payable pursuant to the MindLeap settlement (more details of this transaction was provided under the news release dated April 25, 2024).
The Pioneer Convertible Debenture has substantially the same maturity and conversion terms as described above.
Pioneer currently holds nil common shares and nil other convertible securities of the Company.
Potential Dilution and Control Implications
As of the date of this news release, the Company has 1,235,061 common shares issued and outstanding.
Assuming a conversion price of $0.185 per share (being the most recent closing price) and for illustrative purposes only (noting that the actual conversion price may differ based on the conversion price described above):
the Bartch Convertible Debenture could result in the issuance of approximately 7,080,195 common shares;
the Pioneer Convertible Debenture could result in the issuance of approximately 42,588,065 common shares; and
in the aggregate, up to approximately 49,668,260 common shares could be issued upon full conversion of the Bartch Convertible Debenture and the Pioneer Convertible Debenture.
Accordingly, assuming full conversion at $0.185 per share and assuming no other changes to the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares, the Company would have approximately 50,903,321 common shares issued and outstanding.
Under this illustrative scenario:
Mr. Bartch would hold approximately 7,109,714 common shares, representing approximately 13.97% of the Company’s outstanding shares; and
Pioneer would hold approximately 42,588,065 common shares, representing approximately 83.66% of the Company’s outstanding shares.
The Company notes that the foregoing is provided for market transparency regarding potential dilution. Depending on the actual conversion price and other changes to the Company’s capital structure, conversion of the Pioneer Convertible Debenture would result in Pioneer becoming a “Control Person” under CSE policies. For example, at lower conversion prices, the number of shares issuable on conversion would increase and Pioneer’s ownership level could increase correspondingly.
Continued Listing Requirements
If the convertible debentures were converted in full, the Company may no longer meet the CSE’s Continued Listing Requirements relating to public distribution and public float. In such circumstances, the Company could be subject to review by the CSE and may be at risk of suspension or delisting if compliance cannot be maintained.
There can be no assurance that the debentures will be converted in full or at all.
Prospectus Exemptions
The debentures were issued pursuant to the exemptions in section 2.24 of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions.
MI 61-101
The issuance of the Bartch Convertible Debentures and the Pioneer Convertible Debenture constituted “related party transactions” under MI 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation requirements on the basis of serious financial difficulty, and disinterested shareholder approval was obtained at the October 1, 2025 meeting.
The Company is a biotechnology company developing the next generation of innovative medications and therapies to address mental health disorders such as nicotine addiction and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The core strategy blends advanced technology with an elaborate infrastructure for drug discovery and development. Noveris’s dedicated multinational team constantly develops new paths for breakthrough treatment solutions in areas with considerable unmet needs.

Toll Brothers, Inc. (TOL) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Photothek via Getty Images
Etsy (ETSY) – a platform that connects artisans with buyers globally – experienced a 6-day decline, with total losses during this timeframe reaching 23%. As of February 17, the company’s market capitalization has fallen by approximately $1.3 billion over that six-day stretch and now stands at roughly $4.4 billion.
The recent selloff comes amid mounting concerns about slowing gross merchandise sales, competitive pressure from larger platforms, and a more cautious consumer environment. While Etsy built its brand around uniqueness and personalization, investors are now questioning whether that differentiation is enough in a world increasingly dominated by scale-driven e-commerce giants.
The stock is down 20% year to date, sharply underperforming the flat return of the S&P 500. The pullback warrants a fresh look at valuation to determine whether the weakness presents a compelling entry point or signals deeper structural challenges.
What Caused The Decline?[1] Goldman Sachs Downgrade to ‘Sell’Price target substantially lowered to $45 from $70Concerns regarding limited visibility on gross merchandise sales growth and possible ongoing market share lossesImpact: The stock dropped over 4% in pre-market trading after the announcement, resulting in heightened bearish sentiment among investors[2] Anticipation of Poor Earnings ReportPredicted year-over-year decrease in earnings per shareAnalysts have collectively adjusted their initial estimates downward over the last 30 daysImpact: Increased investor caution ahead of the earnings release, with analysts showing negative sentiment about the company’s earnings outlookMORE FOR YOU
Chance or Pitfall?Below is our perspective on valuation.
There are several concerns regarding ETSY stock considering its overall Weak operational performance and financial health. This corresponds with the stock’s Low valuation, leading us to believe it is Fairly Priced (For more details, see Buy or Sell ETSY).
However, here is the truly intriguing aspect.
You are learning about this -23% move after it has occurred. The market has already accounted for the news. To sidestep the next underperformer before it hits the headlines, you require predictive indicators, rather than alerts. Our High Quality Portfolio features a risk model aimed at minimizing exposure to losing stocks.

Prediction: 2 Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than ASML Holding 1 Year From Now
The chip manufacturing equipment specialist could soon be overtaken by Micron Technology and Oracle.
ASML Holding (ASML +3.17%) is one of the most important companies in the world. It's the only manufacturer of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines, which are vital equipment for printing the most advanced computer chips.
The Dutch semiconductor sector bellwether reported impressive growth for 2025. Its solid order backlog and the inflow of new bookings to meet the growing demand for chips capable of powering artificial intelligence (AI) workloads should help it maintain a healthy growth rate in 2026. On average, analysts covering the company expect a 14% jump in its top line and a 20% jump in earnings this year.
As a result, it won't be surprising to see ASML's market cap head higher over the next year from its current reading of $546 billion. However, there is a good chance that both Micron Technology (MU +4.88%) and Oracle (ORCL +0.92%) will be worth more than ASML one year from now.
Let's see why that may be the case.
Image source: ASML.
Micron Technology can continue to outperform ASML on the stock market Micron Technology stock has jumped by more than 313% in the past year, easily outpacing the 87% jump in ASML's shares over the same period. As a result, Micron's market cap of $463 billion is only 18% lower than ASML's, and it won't be surprising to see the former easily close that gap in the coming year, as Micron's revenues are growing at a significantly faster pace than ASML's.

Current Price
$
419.29
MU Revenue (TTM) data by YCharts
That trend is here to stay in 2026, with Micron's earnings expected to more than triple as revenue doubles, according to analysts' consensus estimates. Micron is capable of achieving such outstanding growth thanks to the supply-constrained nature of the memory market, where demand is significantly outpacing current production capacity.
Micron manufactures both dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) and NAND flash memory. While DRAM is deployed in data centers, smartphones, gaming consoles, computers, and other applications to enable fast processing and multitasking, NAND flash is used to store data. The demand for both these memory types has gone through the roof, as both perform critical functions in AI data centers, which are being constructed at a rapid pace.
In order for AI accelerator chips to perform optimally as they process huge data sets, they need extremely rapid access to that data, which Micron's high-bandwidth memory (HBM) can supply. As a result, all the HBM that the company is capable of manufacturing in 2026 is sold out.
A similar scenario has unfolded in the NAND flash market, where the need for faster and more efficient storage has created unprecedented demand for solid-state drives (SSDs). It is worth noting that the market prices of both NAND and DRAM memory chips are increasing at a solid clip. Market research firm TrendForce is anticipating an 80% to 85% increase in DRAM prices this quarter, and a 55% to 60% rise in NAND flash prices.
Moreover, as its high-bandwidth memory chips are sold out in advance for the rest of the year, the price rises are likely to continue, which would help Micron achieve the remarkable earnings growth it is expected to deliver. Throw in the fact that Micron is trading at just 13 times forward earnings -- well below ASML stock's forward earnings multiple of 40 -- and it's clear why the memory-maker can deliver bigger gains. It's likely to be rewarded with a premium valuation on the back of its eye-popping growth.
As such, there is a strong possibility that Micron will become a larger company than ASML by market cap over the next year.
Oracle could regain its mojo thanks to a massive order backlog Cloud infrastructure solutions provider Oracle ranks just after Micron on the list of companies by market cap, with a figure of $462 billion. However, Oracle stock has underperformed ASML and the market over the past year, losing 8%.
Today's Change
(
0.92
%) $
1.42
Current Price
$
155.39
That decline can be attributed to the company's massive spending to build new AI data centers, which is inflating its debt. Oracle expects to raise $45 billion to $50 billion in funding this year through debt and equity financing to build additional AI infrastructure capacity. Savvy investors, however, will want to look at the bigger picture.
Oracle needs financing to satisfy the massive order backlog it is sitting on. The company's remaining performance obligation (RPO) -- the total value of orders it has yet to fulfill -- shot up 438% year over year to a whopping $523 billion as of Nov. 30, 2025 (the end of its fiscal 2026 second quarter).
This huge order book is why Oracle is forecasting $67 billion in revenue in the current fiscal year, an increase of 17% over the previous fiscal year, when its top line jumped by 8%. What's more, the analyst community's forecasts for the next couple of fiscal years are even better.
ORCL Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YCharts.
Of course, the heavy spending is going to take a toll on Oracle's bottom line along the way, which explains why analysts expect slower earnings growth next fiscal year before a bigger jump in the following one.
ORCL EPS Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YCharts.
As the company brings more AI cloud capacity online, it should be able to quickly convert more of its backlog into revenue and get its balance sheet in order. That's why it may be a good idea to buy this AI stock while it's beaten down. It's trading at just 7.6 times sales, a discount to ASML's sales multiple of 14.1.
Moreover, analysts' median 12-month price target of $275 for Oracle suggests it could jump by 72% from current levels, well above the 19% upside analysts are anticipating from ASML. Given that Oracle's growth is poised to accelerate on the back of its sizable backlog, and that it trades at a significantly cheaper valuation, it could indeed become a bigger company than ASML in the coming year.

Sandisk stock price stalls amid secondary public share offering. Is the 2026 memory chip rally about to end?
Sandisk Corporation has announced plans for a secondary public offering.
The data storage company will open up 5,821,135 common stock shares (Nasdaq:SNDK) at $545 a pop. The shares are currently owned by Western Digital Corporation (WDC), Sandisk’s former parent company.
Sandisk separated from WDC nearly a year ago to the date, and subsequently joined the S&P 500 in November.
Now, WDC is furthering that split. It will be left with 1,691,884 shares of common stock, but it plans to get rid of those as well.

WDC intends to complete a debt-for-equity exchange with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and BofA Securities—both of which will act as selling stockholders.
Sandisk says it will not personally sell any of its shares or profit from the secondary offering.
The offering should close tomorrow, Thursday, February 19.

What oil hitting $70 a barrel would signal about Iran and U.S. tensions
HomeMarketsU.S. & CanadaMarket ExtraMarket ExtraAny moves by the U.S. to destroy Iranian oil infrastructure appear unlikely because of the Trump administration’s focus on bringing energy prices down, says strategistPublished: Feb. 18, 2026 at 3:34 p.m. ET
Oil prices pushed sharply higher Wednesday after the U.S. said the use of military force against Iran remained an option following a lack of a breakthrough in talks over Tehran’s disputed nuclear program.
U.S. crude futures CL00 CLJ26 rose more than 4.5%, or $2.79, settling at $65.05 a barrel, the biggest daily jump since Oct. 23, for the most-active contract, according to Dow Jones Market Data. That put West Texas Intermediate crude close to its highest level of 2026, as well as in the upper end of the range in recent months when fears of another U.S. strike against Iran have been acute.

Yes. Actually, a lot is going on for sure, right? And we've been talking about the capacity levels for several quarters and some of what we were calling shadow capacity.

ROSEN, NATIONAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Smart Digital Group Ltd. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action - SDM
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Smart Digital Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: SDM) between May 5, 2025 and September 26, 2025 at 9:34 AM EST, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important March 16, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased SDM 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 SDM class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50638 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: Smart Digital describes itself as a company that provides digital marketing services. According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Smart Digital 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) Smart Digital’s public statements and risk disclosures omitted any mention of realized risk of fraudulent trading or market manipulation used to drive Smart Digital’s stock price; (4) as a result, Smart Digital 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 Smart Digital’s 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 SDM class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50638 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.

Live Analysis: Will Carvana Soar After Earnings Tonight?
Live Coverage Updates appear automatically as they are published.
Live Updates 18 minutes ago
Live
Carvana shares are rallying ahead of earnings. While shares opened lower, they quickly rose to about 3.7% gains and have traded in a tight range for most of the day.
However, even after today’s gains, Carvana’s stock is still down 18% across the past month. As we noted in our write-up below, management will need to firmly refute growing skepticism around the company on tonight’s call.
Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) reports Q4 2025 earnings tonight after the bell. The online used car retailer has had a monster run over the past few years, but shares have pulled back recently, down 18.7% over the past month.
The stock’s recent weakness follows fraud allegations from short seller Gotham City Research on January 28, which sent shares tumbling 14% that day. Tonight’s report will be the first chance for management to directly address those concerns.
What Wall Street Expects Analysts are looking for over 150,000 retail units sold in Q4, based on management’s guidance from the Q3 call. The company also guided to full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA at or above the high end of the $2.0 to $2.2 billion range. Prediction markets show 56.5% probability of beating the $1.08 consensus EPS estimate, suggesting modest optimism despite last quarter’s miss.
The headline figures to watch are Wall Street consensus for revenues of $5.27 billion and EPS of $1.12.
The key metric I’ll be watching is gross profit per unit. In Q3, non-GAAP retail GPU decreased by $77 driven by higher depreciation rates, while wholesale GPU fell $168. Management warned on the Q3 call that Q4 typically sees higher depreciation and lower demand, so sequential GPU compression is expected. The question is whether it stays manageable or accelerates.
Last Quarter’s Mixed Results Q3 delivered a revenue beat but an earnings miss. Carvana reported $5.647 billion in revenue, crushing the $5.1 billion consensus. But EPS came in at $1.03, missing the $1.36 estimate by a mile.
The company sold 155,941 retail units, up 44% year over year, and posted record $552 million in operating income and $637 million in adjusted EBITDA.
The stock sold off hard after that report, dropping 13.9% the day after filing and 18.5% a week later. It eventually recovered, but the Q3 miss broke a six-quarter earnings beat streak dating back to Q1 2024.
What to Watch Tonight Beyond the numbers, I’ll be listening for management’s tone on the Gotham allegations. The company called them “inaccurate and intentionally misleading”, but investors need more than a one-liner. Transparency around related-party transactions with DriveTime and Bridgecrest will be critical.
Operationally, watch for commentary on same-day delivery expansion. CEO Ernie Garcia highlighted on the Q3 call that 40% of Phoenix customers now get same or next-day delivery, compared to 10% nationwide. That capability is a competitive advantage, but it’s expensive. I want to hear how logistics costs per unit are trending as they scale that service.

Coherent: A Compelling Opportunity For Patient Investors
COHR's vertical integration, 6-inch wafer ramp, and strategic divestitures are expected to drive margin expansion and revenue acceleration in AI data center optics. Despite near-term FCF headwinds and lower operating margins than Lumentum's, Coherent's capacity expansion and increasing profitability position it for potential outperformance post-2026. Execution risks remain around InP wafer yields, fab ramp, and packaging bottlenecks, but successful scaling could justify a significant valuation re-rating.

GSIT Investor News: If You Have Suffered Losses in GSI Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: GSIT), You Are Encouraged to Contact The Rosen Law Firm About Your Rights
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces that it is investigating potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of GSI Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: GSIT) resulting from allegations that GSI Technology may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On February 3, 2026, a post was issued on Stockwits in which it stated that “GSI is almost certainly hiding that their chip did not run Gemma-3 at all, only the pre-generation RAG phase.

Rosen Law Firm achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company.

IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. (IDYA) Presents at Citi's 2026 Virtual Oncology Leadership Summit Transcript
The S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index recently expanded to 155 holdings after adding eight new members, all companies that have raised dividends for at least 20 consecutive years, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.
The January reconstitution brought in six companies from the S&P 500, including Accenture (ACN), Cummins Inc. (CMI), and STERIS (STE), along with two from the S&P MidCap 400, according to the index provider. The additions highlight how two popular dividend ETFs tracking different strategies have performed over the past year.
The State Street SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (SDY), which tracks companies with 20-plus years of dividend growth, returned 10.7% year-to-date and 18.5% over one year, according to ETF Database. Meanwhile, the ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF (SDOG), which selects the five highest-yielding stocks from each of 10 sectors, returned 11.1% year-to-date and 20.3% over the same period.
SDOG applies the “Dogs of the Dow” theory on a sector-by-sector basis, starting with the 500 largest U.S. stocks and selecting the highest yielders within each sector, according to ALPS. The fund equally weights 50 total holdings, with five stocks from each of the 10 sectors.
SDY takes a different path by focusing on dividend growth history rather than current yield. The index now includes 102 stocks from the S&P 500, 38 from the S&P MidCap 400, and 15 from the S&P SmallCap 600, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. The index weights constituents by dividend yield and rebalances quarterly.
Sectors Driving Performance The sector exposure differences between the two funds may help explain their performance gap. Energy stocks gained 19.9% year-to-date while technology fell 2.7%, according to ETF Database.
SDOG maintains roughly equal 10% weightings across all sectors, with Energy holdings at 10.06% and information technology at 9.69%, according to ALPS. This balanced approach gave the fund exposure to energy’s rally through holdings like Chevron Corp. (CVX) and ConocoPhillips (COP).
SDY carries heavier weightings in industrials at 19.5%, consumer staples at 17.5%, and utilities at 14.1%, according to State Street. The fund holds just 6.35% in information technology and 3.91% in energy.
SDOG’s energy holdings also include Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI), Oneok Inc. (OKE), and EOG Resources Inc. (EOG), according to ALPS. In the information technology sector, the fund holds Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (HPE), Accenture, Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN), Microchip Technology Inc. (MCHP), and HP Inc. (HPQ).
Among SDY constituents, roughly 33% have raised dividends for 20 to 24 years, while 32% have done so for 45 years or more, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. SDY currently yields 2.60%, while SDOG yields 4.03%.
SDY charges 0.35% in annual expenses while SDOG charges 0.36%, according to their respective fact sheets. Both funds rebalance quarterly.

Income ETF GPIX on Track for Key Milestone in 2026
Income ETF strategies have been on the rise in recent years as investors and advisors look for streamlined, building block options to add current income. The space has grown increasingly competitive, as well, with ETFs a growing component of the fund landscape. That has made standing out a challenge for the funds as investors look for signals in a crowded category.
See more: Large-Cap Growth ETF GSLC Adds Quarter Billion in 1 Week
One such fund, GPIX, the Goldman Sachs S&P 500 Premium Income ETF, may be raising its hand in that crowd. The fund has an important step in 2026, celebrating the key three year ETF milestone. That traditionally brings fresh attention to a fund as it can direct interested parties to three years of performance data.
That milestone comes as the income ETF has stood out for its income and performance metrics. For a 29 basis point (bps) fee, the fund actively invests in S&P 500 companies while adding a call strategy to generate income on top of those exposures.
The income ETF broadly mirrors the S&P 500’s weightings and characteristics while selling calls on about 25% to 75% of those equities. It can also use FLEX options and distribute dividends as desired to boost income.
Together, that has helped the fund return 13.4% over the last one year period. According to its YChart data, the fund also may be presenting an intriguing buy opportunity per its Relative Strength Index (RSI) which has flirted with oversold territory.
When it comes to income, however, the ETF has delivered on its primary goal. The fund has offered an 8% 12 month distribution rate according to Goldman Sachs data as of January 31st. Its most recent pay date on January 8th saw the fund provide a 0.3755 distribution.
The fund, then, may be one to watch in advance of its important milestone. Income ETFs can help portfolios ride out the myriad sources of uncertainty and volatility this year. From geopolitics to stubborn inflation and the ever-looming risk of tariffs, GPIX can help.

Velocity Amid Volatility: ETFs See $250B+ Inflows in 6 Weeks
The exit velocity from 2025 is continuing into 2026. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have already gathered over $250 billion in inflows in the first six weeks of the new year, proving that demand for the investment vehicle remains robust despite a volatile start.
Based on the latest data from VettaFi research as of February 13, the ETF industry reached $256.04 billion in net year-to-date (YTD) inflows. ETFs attracted around $1.5 trillion inflows in all of 2025 and given the strong momentum to start 2026, it could be another record-breaking year.
Asset Class Breakdown The rapid accumulation was seen across various asset classes as both retail and institutional investors continue to prefer the ETF wrapper for its cost-efficiency, transparency, and flexibility. Again, this occurred despite the CBOE S&P 500 Volatility Index rising over 40% for the year.
Given the heavier market fluctuations, asset allocations could reflect strategic defensive moves. Equities still maintained their dominance, capturing $163.7 billion or 64% of new money.
Though the artificial intelligence (AI) hype continues to captivate investors, there are questions on whether certain stock prices reflect underlying fundamentals. As such, investors have been piling into bonds as a defensive maneuver amid the increased volatility with the fixed income asset class garnering $79.2 billion inflows. The expectation of more rate cuts may also be fueling momentum into ETFs that target other income sources outside of bonds.
Commodities strength couldn’t come at a better time as investors sought uncorrelated assets relative to the broader market amid the volatility. As a result, commodities ETFs saw $8.9 billion inflows.
International Markets, Bonds, and Energy In terms of individual ETFs, it was no surprise to see the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) at the top of the leaderboard with $25.03 billion inflows. Rounding out the U.S. core equites category was the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) with about $8.8 billion inflows. Interestingly, the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) saw just over $7 billion inflows, which could be an escape from volatility by mitigating concentration risk.
International diversification remains a key theme that is carrying over from last year amid weakness in the U.S. dollar. The iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets (IEMG) secured $10.5 billion, coming in second place while the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS) gathered almost $9 billion—both outpacing SPY.
As mentioned, a theme to start the year has been bonds serving as a ballast due to the increased volatility. This was apparent via inflows into funds like the iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (SGOV) with $4.9 billion and Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) with $4.2 billion.
In terms of sector-specific equities, energy was the best performer in January. As such, the Energy Select Sector SPDR (XLE) took in nearly $4 billion, proving that traditional energy sources like oil and gas remain essential despite a shift to alternative sources.

Oil Surges On Geopolitical Risk Despite Bearish Outlook

Middle East Images/AFP via Getty Images
Oil futures spiked by over 4% in intraday trading on Wednesday, as elevated U.S.-Iran tensions and fears of a conflict in the Middle East gripped the global market.
At 1:47 p.m. EST on Wednesday, global proxy benchmark Brent’s front-month futures contract traded up 4.15%, or $2.77, at $70.19 per barrel, while the U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate traded at $65.06, up 4.48%, or $2.79.
That’s after reports suggested Iranian forces were conducting naval exercises in the Strait of Hormuz, just as a U.S. carrier strike group — thought to be led by the USS Abraham Lincoln — was spotted off the coast of Oman.
Unconnected reports also suggested a fire had broken out near Iranian military sites in Parand, a town in close proximity to the capital Tehran. Highly implausible conjecture about Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s key maritime arteries for oil and gas shipments — also resurfaced.
Additionally, Iran announced joint naval drills with Russia on Thursday, according to Abu Dhabi’s National newspaper, just as U.S. President Donald Trump said time was running out for Iran.
ForbesStrait Of Hormuz: Why Iran Is Unlikely To Block Key Oil Shipping RouteBy Gaurav Sharma

Despite issuing harsh words of its own, Tehran will likely have grounds for concerns given Trump’s past form, in terms of strikes on the country’s nuclear program last year and the taking out of Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani in 2020.
Over the past six weeks, Washington has added to its already formidable military assets base in the Middle East spread throughout naval and air bases across the region. All the while, talks between the U.S. and Iran, mediated by Oman, over a potential nuclear deal continue in Geneva, Switzerland.
Differing accounts ranging from “good progress” to a cessation of talks have resulted in oil prices seesawing between $60 and $70.
Geopolitical Risk Versus Bearish FundamentalsMarket sentiment this week has largely been towards the upside with markets fearing a regional escalation that would disrupt global trade. However, such sentiments are in a virtual tugging match against a well-supplied market.
In January, Iran produced just south of 4 million barrels per day, with around half that exported overseas. The bulk of those exports went to China. Despite heightened tensions, this equation has not shifted much into February.
As such, global oil market expectations of a supply surplus persist. This will primarily be visible in the first half of 2026 and especially in the case of light, sweet crude.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries is sitting on plenty of spare capacity should it choose to up stakes in a tussle for market share. The market is already witnessing an elevated level of non-OPEC production, mainly from the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Guyana and Norway.
Barring a major, prolonged upheaval, the oil market remains well supplied. There are simply no structural shifts to existing crude oil supply patterns. In its latest market update, the International Energy Agency forecast global demand growth in 2026 in the region of 850,000 bpd, while OPEC put it at 1.38 million bpd.
Even the higher demand growth figure can be more than met by current non-OPEC supply growth alone. Fears of a 3 million bpd-plus surplus in the first half of the current trading year haven’t gone away, making the current oil price rally anything but market-balance driven. Should tensions ease, the only likely way is down.
