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).

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).

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).

[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 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.

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.

Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-rosen-law-firm, on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rosen_firm or on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rosenlawfirm/.

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).

What Is Fibermaxxing? Life Time Experts Share Simple, Safe Ways to Add More Fiber Daily stocknewsapi
LTH
Viral social media trend spotlights America's fiber gap, fiber's role in long-term health, and its importance for people using GLP-1 medications

, /PRNewswire/ -- Life Time (NYSE: LTH), the nation's premier healthy lifestyle brand, is weighing in on "fibermaxxing," a growing social media trend encouraging people to increase their daily fiber intake to support health, longevity and overall metabolic well-being.

With fewer than 5 percent of Americans consistently meeting recommended daily fiber intake of 21–25 grams for women and 30–38 grams for men, the hashtag #fibermaxxing has garnered millions of views on TikTok. The trend reflects growing interest in gut health, balanced nutrition and sustainable eating habits across generations. With fewer than 5 percent of Americans consistently meeting recommended daily fiber intake of 21–25 grams for women and 30–38 grams for men, the hashtag #fibermaxxing has garnered millions of views on TikTok. The trend reflects growing interest in gut health, balanced nutrition and sustainable eating habits across generations.

Interest in fiber comes at a time when more Americans are using GLP-1 weight-loss medications, prompting renewed focus on how fiber and protein work together to support digestion, meal satisfaction, and long-term nutritional balance.

While fibermaxxing has gained traction among younger audiences, fiber intake is increasingly top-of-mind for adults over 40 and 50 as well, driven by attention from longevity experts, wellness podcasts and preventive-health clinicians.

"Fiber plays an essential role in overall health and is especially vital for healthy aging," said James LaValle, Life Time Chief Science Officer and Clinical Pharmacist, C.C.N.M.T., C.C.N. "Adequate fiber intake supports blood sugar balance, gut health and hormone metabolism, as well as promoting fullness. Together, these can strongly influence health span. For most people, meaningful improvement starts with adding one or two quality fiber sources a day."

The Metabolic Code bloodwork assessment offered through MIORA at Life Time further highlights how common digestive and metabolic imbalances are, and how modest increases in daily fiber can support long-term health improvements.

"Unlike many recent nutrition trends, fibermaxxing is additive, which makes it generally positive," said Paul Kriegler, Registered Dietitian and Senior Director of Nutritional Products at Life Time. "Most adults aren't getting enough fiber and increasing intake can support digestion, appetite control, and overall health."

The two main types of fibers are soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber is found in foods like oats, beans, apples, citrus fruits, and chia seeds, which dissolves in water and helps regulate blood sugar and cholesterol. Insoluble fiber is often found in vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds, which add bulk and support regular digestion. Kriegler notes that fiber can also complement adequate protein intake, particularly for individuals using GLP-1 medications, where digestive comfort and balanced nutrition are especially important.

Kriegler also sees the trend as part of a broader shift in how younger generations approach health. "The current social media generation seems to care about their health earlier and more proactively," he said. "Choosing more natural sources of protein and fiber is a very positive movement. Ample protein and ample produce tend to create healthier people."

How to increase fiber without feeling miserable:
Kriegler emphasizes that the most common mistake people make with fibermaxxing is increasing intake too quickly. His recommendations include:

Build up gradually: Increase fiber slowly over several weeks to allow your digestive system to adapt. Drink enough water: Fiber works best when paired with adequate hydration. Prioritize whole foods: The best sources of fiber are vegetables, fruits, beans, lentils, and whole grains. Be consistent, not perfect: Adding one high-fiber item to each meal is more sustainable than changing everything at once. Use supplements when helpful: Fiber powders are a practical, convenient tool for consistency when whole-food intake falls short. Life Time supports nutrition improvement through programs and services that include nutrition coaching, fiber-focused programs such as its 14-day reset called D.TOX, training, and access to its LTH supplement line, including LTH Shift Fiber, a prebiotic fiber powder designed to support digestive health and daily consistency.

As the technology selloff deepens, Oracle’s stock has been hit by a double whammy of generalized software concerns and jitters around the company’s own artificial-intelligence spending.

The threat of new AI tools replacing traditional enterprise software is rippling across Oracle’s ORCL legacy database business. And as the company aims to transform into an AI cloud business similar to what Microsoft MSFT, Amazon.com AMZN and Alphabet GOOG GOOGL operate, investors are scrutinizing Oracle’s rising debt levels and close relationship to OpenAI.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered in Vistagen to Contact Him Directly to Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in Vistagen between April 1, 2024 and December 16, 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).

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Vistagen Therapeutics, Inc. ("Vistagen" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: VTGN) 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: Vistagen's positive assertions of fasedienol's future trial success based on the prior positive results associated with the PALISADE-2 clinical trial, in addition to notable enhancements and operational changes made to the execution of the PALISADE-3 clinical trial supported a strong likelihood of Phase 3 success and positioning it as a confirmatory study was false and misleading and/or concealing material adverse facts. This caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Vistagen's common stock at artificially inflated prices.

On December 17, 2025, before the market opened, Vistagen announced topline results from its PALISADE-3 Public Speaking Challenge Study of fasedienol for the acute treatment of social anxiety disorder (SAD). The company reported that the study failed to meet its primary efficacy endpoint since it "did not demonstrate statistically significant improvement on primary endpoint of reduction in anxiety as measured by SUDS scores compared to placebo."

Following this news, VTGN's stock price fell over 81% to open at $0.88 per share.

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 Vistagen's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

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

KLAR ALERT: Klarna Group (KLAR) Facing Securities Class Action Amid 102% Spike in Credit Loss Provision, Questions About Risk-Related Trends Disclosures - Hagens Berman stocknewsapi
KLAR
KLAR Investors with Losses Encouraged to Contact the Firm

, /PRNewswire/ -- National shareholder rights law firm Hagens Berman is notifying investors in Klarna Group plc (NYSE: KLAR) of the upcoming February 20, 2026, lead plaintiff deadline in a pending securities class action. The firm is actively investigating the lawsuit's claims of alleged misstatements in Klarna's September 2025 Initial Public Offering (IPO) documents.

CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT YOUR KLARNA LOSSES

Investors who purchased Klarna (KLAR) shares pursuant to the company's September 2025 IPO and suffered significant losses are encouraged to contact the firm now.

The investigation focuses on allegations in a pending securities class action that Klarna's IPO documents misled investors by emphasizing Klarna's high credit modeling and scoring performance while allegedly omitting to disclose that it was aggressively lending to financially unsophisticated consumers, including for high-risk items like fast-food deliveries. Just weeks after the IPO, Klarna reported a staggering 102% year-over-year increase in its provision for credit losses, causing shares to plunge well below the $40 IPO price.

"When a company's credit loss provisions double almost immediately after going public, it raises serious questions about whether the IPO documents were truly transparent," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation

DEEP DIVE ANALYSIS: View our latest video summary of the allegations: youtu.be/6PLHhmxwYTY

Klarna Securities Class Action: Alleged Credit Modeling Failures

The pending litigating alleges Klarna's IPO documents contained misleading statements regarding the quality and sustainability of the company's loan portfolio.

Understated credit risks: The complaint alleges that Klarna's offering documents materially understated the credit risks involved in lending to clients who were financially unsophisticated, experiencing financial hardship. The "Fast Food" Loan Allegations: The complaint alleges that Klarna's growth was fueled by high-frequency, high-interest loans for non-durable goods (like fast food), a practice that critics argue targets the most financially vulnerable consumers and carries an elevated risk of default. 102% Loss Provision Spike: On Nov. 18, 2025—shortly after the IPO—Klarna revealed a 102% year-over-year increase in its provision for credit losses, revealing flaws in the company's purportedly robust modeling. IPO Price Collapse: Following this news, Klarna's stock price plummeted, eventually trading nearly 22% below its IPO price. Next Steps: Contact Partner Reed Kathrein Today

Hagens Berman is a top-tier plaintiff litigation firm recognized for prosecuting securities fraud class actions.

Mr. Kathrein is actively advising investors who purchased KLAR shares pursuant to the September 2025 IPO and suffered substantial losses.

The Lead Plaintiff Deadline is February 20, 2026.

Amazon Shares Plunge 7% As It Plans $200 Billion In Spending For 2026—Far More Than Expected stocknewsapi
AMZN
ToplineAmazon on Thursday reported fourth-quarter earnings that fell below Wall Street’s estimates, sending shares of the e-commerce giant plummeting in after-hours trading following its earnings report that included a projection for a massive $200 billion in spending for 2026.

The e-commerce giant appeared to ramp up its AI strategy over the last year.

Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Key FactsRevenue increased to $213.4 billion in Amazon’s latest quarter, beating consensus analyst estimates of $211.4 billion, according to FactSet, while $1.95 earnings per share fell below projections of $1.97 EPS.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in a statement the company anticipated capital expenditures of $200 billion in 2026, citing “strong” demand for AI, chips, robotics and low-orbit satellites.

That’s well above consensus analyst estimates of $146.6 billion for capital expenditures.

Shares of Amazon dropped more than 7% as of 4:23 p.m. EST, after earlier diving by as much as 10% in extended trading.

Amazon’s revenue for 2025 reached $716.9 billion, beating projections of $714.6 billion, as Amazon Web Services revenue rose 20% year-over-year to $128.7 billion.

What Time Is Amazon’s Earnings Call?Amazon will host its Q4 earnings call at 5 p.m. EST, with an option to listen in on its investor relations website.

Key BackgroundAmazon’s stock dropped 5% over the last year, with the e-commerce giant’s heavy exposure to tariffs on China disrupting business throughout 2025. The company has moved to build out its AI offerings and cloud infrastructure, as competitors Microsoft and Google have rapidly increased spending to meet growing demand for AI products. Amazon has invested $8 billion in Anthropic, which announced updates to its AI agent that disrupted the global software market, rattling tech giants Oracle and Adobe, as well as India’s largest IT firms. Amazon last year opened an $11 billion AI data center exclusively for Anthropic to run workloads for its Claude chatbot. The company is also reportedly in talks to invest $50 billion in OpenAI, after earlier signing a $38 billion cloud computing deal with the startup in November. UBS analysts said in a note this week that they increased their estimates for Amazon’s capital expenditures, citing the company’s plans to grow its AWS business as Amazon became overshadowed by its megacap peers in the AI market.

What To Watch ForNvidia is the last of the “Magnificent Seven” companies to report quarterly earnings, which it will do on Feb. 25. Alphabet posted better-than-expected earnings on Wednesday, while Meta, Apple, Microsoft and Tesla reported last week.

ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages BellRing Brands, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action - BRBR stocknewsapi
BRBR
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of BellRing Brands, Inc. (NYSE: BRBR) between November 19, 2024 and August 4, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important March 23, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased BellRing 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 BellRing class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=51444 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 23, 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, BellRing develops, markets, and sells "convenient nutrition" products such as ready-to-drink ("RTD") protein shakes primarily under the brand name Premier Protein. During the Class Period, defendants represented that sales growth reflected increased end-consumer demand, attributing results to "organic growth," "distribution gains," "incremental promotional activity," and "[s]trong macro tailwinds around protein" among other factors. At the same time, defendants downplayed the impact of competition on demand, insisting BellRing was not experiencing any significant changes in competition, and that in the RTD category particularly, BellRing possessed a "competitive moat," given that "the ready-to-drink category is just highly complex" and the products are "hard to formulate." As alleged, in truth, BellRing's reported sales during the Class Period were driven by its key customers stockpiling inventory and did not reflect increased end-consumer demand or brand momentum. Following the destocking, BellRing admitted that competitive pressures were materially weakening demand. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the BellRing class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=51444 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.

ROSEN, NATIONAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Carvana Investors to Inquire About Securities Class Action Investigation - CVNA stocknewsapi
CVNA
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Carvana Co. (NYSE: CVNA) resulting from allegations that Carvana may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Carvana 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=17341 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 28, 2026, The Wall Street Journal published an article entitled "Carvana Stock Falls on Short-Seller Report Alleging Overstated Earnings." The article stated that Carvana stock had fallen after "the release of a short seller's report that alleged the company's earnings are 'far more dependent' than previously known on private companies linked to Carvana's controlling shareholders."

On this news, Carvana's stock price fell 14% on January 28, 2026.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (WST) Discusses Integrated Prefillable Syringe Systems to Streamline Drug Development and Reduce Complexity Transcript stocknewsapi
WST
Unknown Attendee

As drug development teams finalize molecule optimization, packing development begins. Often a time-consuming process of evaluating multiple components, suppliers and test results. For prefilled syringes regulated as combination products, ambiguous requirements and extensive verification can add months to clinical time lines with no guarantee of full risk coverage.

Today's session introduces a new approach to prefillable syringe systems, a fully harmonized solution integrating the syringe barrel, plunger and a needle shield tip cap from a single verified supplier, West Pharmaceuticals. We will be led by Dr. Bettine Boltres, Director of Scientific Affairs, Integrated Systems with West. She will share how this integrated system reduces complexity, minimizes testing burden and enables emerging biotechnology companies to accelerate readiness for clinical fill while conserving time and resources.

I'm your host, James [indiscernible] with Pharmaceutical Online. I'd like to thank you, the audience, for attending today's event. This is live, so we do encourage your participation. Take a moment to get comfortable with the tools on your screen. Bettine's contact information is to your right. And below me, you'll see a question box. Please share your thoughts with us during the presentation. We will answer as many questions as possible. And any we miss, I'll pass along for follow-up after the event. This question box can connect you with me if you run into any trouble, but please try refreshing your browser first as it will fix most common issues.

Finally, today's event will be available on demand. You'll receive an e-mail with a shareable link shortly after we conclude.

Now without further ado, let's begin today's presentation. Welcome, Bettine.

Old Dominion University Economists Share Economic Prospects for 2026 stocknewsapi
ODFL
Norfolk, Feb. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Virginia’s economy is facing increasing headwinds and growth in Hampton Roads is projected to slow according to the 2026 Annual Economic Forecast presented by economists from the Dragas Center for Economic Analysis and Policy in the Strome College of Business at Old Dominion University on January 28. 

More than 350 of the region’s business and community leaders gathered in Chartway Arena to hear how Bob McNab, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Department of Economics and director of the Dragas Center for Economic Analysis and Policy, and Vinod Agarwal, Ph.D., a professor of economics and director of the Economic Forecasting Project, view the economic prospects for the coming year. 

Rising inflation, consumer pessimism, slowed job growth, lack of housing inventory and the negative impacts of tariffs were primary topics of the event.

“Virginia’s economic growth was lower in 2025 due to reductions in federal civilian employment, higher tariffs and policy uncertainty,” said Dr. McNab.

He explained that, while some figures show the United States economy growing, the real story lies in the distribution of wealth. For households in the top 30% of consumers earning more than $130,000, wages and consumption outpaced inflation. The other 70% of consumers, however, are spending more than they are bringing in or just breaking even. 

“Moody’s (a financial intelligence company) says that Virginia is already in a recession. Data suggests that we may be on the cusp of one. Growth was slow in 2025 and will continue to slow in 2026. The impacts of changes in federal civilian employment policy, trade policy and immigration policy — all that comes together with policy uncertainty and strain growth in Virginia and make the budget conditions deteriorate as we move farther into this year,” he said. 

The rising prices of essential items, like electricity and coffee, are keeping consumer sentiment — a key indicator of the health of the economy — low, he added. The price of coffee, for instance, rose 20% in 2025. 

Employment figures were not promising. Employment growth, which had been on the rise, is now slowing, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 2025, over 6,000 federal civilian jobs were lost in Hampton Roads, and more than 23,000 were lost throughout Virginia. In October alone, the federal civilian workforce lost 179,000 workers nationally in the wake of the deferred resignation program. 

“We can see that Virginia actually starts shedding people out of the labor force in February 2025, and that continued through the remainder of the year. This looks much more like a recession for Virginia in terms of labor markets than anything else,” he said, pointing to a chart in his presentation. 

Employers are also becoming reticent about hiring, he said, noting that 2025 had the weakest job growth since the pandemic.

Dr. Agarwal discussed the Hampton Roads economy, focusing on the housing supply needs of the workforce and the outlook for the defense industry.

“The housing market has a supply problem. Inventories are way below the normal average. What we need to do is to develop a basic housing strategy and move towards reforming zoning regulations,” he said. “We need to promote high density, more mixed developments and reduce regulatory burdens that increase the cost of living.”

He said that defense spending in the area will rise, which is good for the Hampton Roads economy, but has a downside. 

“To really grow this economy, the private sector needs to step in,” he said. “We need to diversify the economy and go into areas of growth where there is a competitive advantage or where we see good potential.”

2 "Magnificent Seven" Stocks to Buy at a Discount stocknewsapi
MSFT TSLA
Both of these stocks are down more than 10% from their all-time highs.

The "Magnificent Seven" grouping of stocks has been nothing short of magnificent in recent years. They represent seven of the biggest and most influential stocks in the S&P 500, and have been outperforming the broader index in a big way.

From 2016 through the end of 2025, the Magnificent Seven had a return of 875%, topping the S&P 500's return of 235%. You really couldn't go wrong with investing in any of these stocks over the last decade.

However, there are still some bargains to be had here. Two of the Magnificent Seven stocks are down more than 10% from their all-time highs, and appear to be great picks for investors looking to add high-quality names to their portfolios.

Image source: Getty Images.

1. Microsoft: Down 21% from all-time highs Microsoft (MSFT 5.15%) is a dominant computer software company, best known for its Microsoft 365 suite of applications, including Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. The company is a top cloud computing company through Microsoft Azure, and offers its Windows operating system, the Bing search engine, the Edge browser, Xbox gaming consoles, and the LinkedIn social network.

So, there's a lot going on with Microsoft, which is why revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 (ending Dec. 31, 2025) was $81.3 billion, up 17% from a year ago. Net income was $38.5 billion and $5.16 per share, up from $24.1 billion and $3.23 per share a year ago.

However, some analysts are concerned about the rate of Microsoft's spending on artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers. Microsoft reported spending $37.5 billion in the quarter. However, once the bottleneck on AI hardware eases, Microsoft will be in a position to grow even faster.

2. Tesla: Down 13% from all-time highs Tesla (TSLA 2.77%) is in an interesting position because its primary product is electric vehicles (EVs), and that's a tougher industry to be in right now. Tesla is facing greater competition both domestically and in China, and sales are falling with the expiration of a $7,500 EV federal tax credit last year. Tesla delivered 418,227 vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2025, down from 495,570 vehicles in Q4 2024.

But Tesla's future lies elsewhere. CEO Elon Musk says the company will convert part of its Fremont, California, manufacturing plant to produce Optimus robots rather than its S and X model vehicles. Musk said the company will wind down production of those vehicles over the next several months, and it has a goal of churning out 1 million of its Optimus robots.

Tesla is also making strides on its full self-driving technology, with the goal of not only producing Cybercab unmanned vehicles, but also to allow Tesla owners to monetize their vehicles as robotaxis. Musk said the company plans to have fully autonomous vehicles in as much as half the U.S. by the end of the year -- pending regulatory approval.

That's why analysts such as Cathie Wood and Dan Ives have been so bullish on Tesla stock. It has world-beating potential should Musk's vision comes true.

Third Century Bancorp Releases Earnings for the Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2025 stocknewsapi
CNBKA
FRANKLIN, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(OTCID: TDCB) - Third Century Bancorp (“Company”), the holding company for Mutual Savings Bank (“Bank”), announced it recorded unaudited net income of $550,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, or $0.47 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $492,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, or $0.42 per basic and diluted share. In addition, the Company recorded net income of $1,871,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, or $1.61 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $1,312,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024, or $1.13 per basic and diluted share.

“We had a strong Q4 for 2025, following a solid prior nine-months,” stated David A. Coffey, President and CEO. Coffey continued, “We continued to see loan growth due to the efforts of our outstanding loan team. We also saw deposit growth due to our focus on core deposits in our market area. Our earnings were driven by our ability to capitalize on two important areas. First, non-interest income continues to be a strategic emphasis for the Bank. From general service charges to Trust Department fees, these were an important part of our fourth quarter performance. Second, our ability to be proactive in managing our cost of funding to positively impact our net interest margin was equally as important.” Coffey concluded, “As a result of a strong year, I am pleased to see key shareholder metrics improved.”

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, net income increased $58,000, or 11.68%, to $550,000 as compared to $492,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, was driven primarily as a result of a $364,000 increase in net interest income as compared to the same period in the prior year. Net interest income increased to $2.39 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, due to an increase in total interest income of $363,000, or 9.09%, to $4.35 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $3.99 million for the same period for the prior year. The increase in total interest income was due to an increase in average loan balances and average cash balances, as well as higher average yields on interest earning assets. Further contributing to net interest margin expansion, there was a decrease in total interest expense of $1,000, or 0.06%, to $1.97 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period for the prior year. The decrease in total interest expense was the result of reduced expense in retail deposits and lower average borrowing balances.

The provision for credit losses increased during the current quarter to $190,000 compared to a provision of $35,000 for the same quarter last year due to higher gross loan balances at quarter end and a slight increase in non-performing loans during the quarter.

Non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, increased by $237,000, or 65.90%, to $597,000, as compared to $368,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in non-interest income occurred due to a higher volume of residential loan sales, increased Trust revenue, and service charge income as compared to the same period in the prior year. Non-interest expense increased by $392,000, or 21.90%, to $2,186,000 as compared to $1,794,000 for the same period in the prior year, due primarily to increased personnel expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net income increased $559,000, or 42.59%, to $1,871,000 as compared to $1,312,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, was due to several factors including an increase in total interest income, increased non-interest income, and a decrease in total interest expense. Net interest income increased by $1,083,000, or 13.80%, to $8,930,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $7,847,000 for the prior year. Net interest income increased due to an increase in total interest income of $922,000, or 5.87%, to $16,610,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $15,689,000 for the prior year. The increase in total interest income was due to higher average loan balances and higher interest-earning cash balances. Complementing the increase in total interest income was a decrease in total interest expense of $161,000, or 2.05%, to $7,681,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $7,842,000 for the prior year. The decrease in total interest expense was largely due to lower average wholesale borrowing balances. The provision for credit losses during 2025 was $204,000 compared to a provision credit of $15,000 for 2024, as a result of loan growth and a specific reserve for one borrower relationship. The loans comprising that relationship were subsequently paid off in January. Non-interest income increased by $368,000, or 27.82%, to $1,692,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $1,324,000 for the prior year. The increase was due largely to increased Trust revenue and a higher volume of loan sales on the secondary market. Non-interest expense increased by $500,000, or 6.37%, to $8,349,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $7,850,000 for the prior year. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to increased personnel expenses.

Total assets increased $36.81 million to $349.19 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $312.38 million at December 31, 2024. This increase was due primarily to higher levels of cash which increased by $24.66 million or 268.08% since December 31, 2024, and higher total loans. The increase in cash was due to growth in retail deposits. Gross loans held for investment rose by $13.05 million to $221.49 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $208.44 million at December 31, 2024. Total deposits were $280.09 million at December 31, 2025, up from $240.99 million at December 31, 2024. FHLB advances decreased by $6.0 million or 11.76% to $45.0 million at December 31, 2025, from $51.0 million at December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the weighted average rate of all FHLB advances was 3.75% compared to 3.81% at December 31, 2024, and the weighted average maturity was 3.97 years at December 31, 2025, compared to 4.20 years at December 31, 2024.

Stockholders’ equity was $13.17 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $9.46 million at December 31, 2024. Stockholders’ equity increased due to retained net income for the year as well as a decrease in net unrealized loss of $2,082,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as a result of the increase in the fair value of our available- for-sale-securities due to the improvement in the forward rate curve compared to our portfolio at prior year end. The available-for-sale securities are investments in government sponsored mortgage-backed securities as well as investments in municipal bonds, which provide cash flow for business purposes. Quarterly average equity as a percentage of average assets increased to 3.69% at December 31, 2025, compared to 3.27% at December 31, 2024.

Iowa American Water Announces Launch of 2026 American Water Charitable Foundation Water and Environment Grant Program stocknewsapi
AWK
, /PRNewswire/ -- Iowa American Water is thrilled to announce the launch of the American Water Charitable Foundation 2026 Water and Environment Grant Program. The Foundation invites community partners to apply for grants that promote clean water, conservation, environmental education, climate variability and water-based recreation projects.

"River Action and the community have long benefitted from a collaboration with Iowa American Water that addresses water quality and education," said Kathy Wine, Executive Director of River Action, Inc. "The American Water Charitable Foundation Water and Environment Grant helped provide funding for CoCoRaSH rain gauges and training for our high school and college students who attended the Next Gen Summit in October 2025. These students will become a network of volunteers reporting rain observations using their gauges, which will get reported to organizations like the National Weather Service to assess the data."

In 2025, the American Water Charitable Foundation awarded a combined total of $1.7 million to 80 organizations in 12 states, supporting organizations located in communities served by American Water, including five from Iowa-based organizations:

Clinton Substance Abuse Council Bettendorf Public Library Foundation Nahant Marsh Education Center River Action, Inc.

Why Uber's cheap stock is worth a fresh look despite the company's spending spree stocknewsapi
UBER
HomeIndustriesInternet/Online ServicesThe Ratings GameThe Ratings GameUber’s stock has fallen more than 20% off peak levels due to concerns about costly futuristic plans, but Deutsche Bank analysts say the investments are worthwhilePublished: Feb. 5, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. ET

Uber Technologies is investing heavily in autonomous vehicles and other areas for long-term growth. That’s been a sore point for investors worried about profits in the here and now.

“We suspect everyone believed there should have been more Ebitda upside,” Benchmark analyst Daniel Kurnos wrote Thursday, referring to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Instead, results on that profit metric Wednesday were more in line with the consensus view last quarter, and the company’s forecast for the first quarter of 2026 narrowly missed Wall Street’s expectations.

Private Credit Saw Its Shadow - More Winter Ahead stocknewsapi

HomeDividends AnalysisDividend Strategy

SummaryBusiness Development Companies (BDCs) face mounting risk from AI-driven disruption in software and technology sector loan portfolios.Peak-valuation software loans, especially those originated in 2021–2022, are at heightened risk of markdowns as AI erodes traditional revenue models.Non-accrual rates are rising, NAV and dividends are at risk, and sector concentration amplifies downside for BDCs with heavy software exposure.With negative sector momentum and upcoming earnings as a key catalyst, I see no compelling reason to buy BDCs at this time.

Summary Concerns regarding BDC exposure to the software and technology sectors have reached a fever pitch recently. This shift is primarily driven by the realization that many private credit loans were underwritten for software models

ROSEN, TOP RANKED GLOBAL COUNSEL, Encourages Vistagen Therapeutics, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action - VTGN stocknewsapi
VTGN
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 5, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Vistagen Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTGN) between April 1, 2024 and December 16, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important March 16, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Vistagen common stock 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 Vistagen class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50827 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 litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants provided investors with material information concerning Vistagen's plan to develop and commercialize its drug fasedienol, an investigational pherine candidate in development for the acute treatment of social anxiety disorder (SAD). Defendants' statements included, among other things, Vistagen's positive assertions of fasedienol's future trial success based on the prior positive results associated with the PALISADE-2 clinical trial, in addition to notable enhancements and operational changes made to the execution of the PALISADE-3 clinical trial supported a strong likelihood of Phase 3 success and positioned it as a confirmatory study.

According to the lawsuit, defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning its Phase 3 PALISADE-3 trial study of fasedienol. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Vistagen class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50827 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.
