, /PRNewswire/ -- Texxon Holding Limited (Nasdaq: NPT) (the "Company" or "Texxon"), a leading provider of supply chain management services in the plastics and chemical industries in East China, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Mr. Hui Xu, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Texxon, commented: "We are pleased to report strong results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. To align with evolving market conditions and the broader industry environment, we implemented a strategic shift in our sales and marketing efforts toward high-growth sectors such as automotive, new energy, and chemical industries. Leveraging our core strengths in basic chemicals and plastic particles, we expanded our sales team to further broaden our customer base, market coverage, and penetration across China."

"The refinement of our basic chemical product portfolio contributed to an improved average selling price. Our plastic particle sales surged as sales volume increased in response to increased demand, driven by their expanded application in new fields such as automotive, new energy and chemical industries, despite a decline in selling prices. Collectively, these initiatives drove an 18.5% increase in overall revenue, highlighted by an 88.5% surge in plastic-particle sales, while basic-chemical sales slightly grew 1.5%."

"We prioritized business scale and long-term customer relationships over short-term margin gains. While this strategy temporarily compressed gross margin and profit, we believe it will strengthen customer retention, stabilize cash flows, and support sustainable profitability over the long term."

"We are accelerating the construction of a factory to manufacture polystyrene, including production lines, storage facilities, and supporting infrastructure, located in Henan Province, China (the "Henan Polystyrene Factory"), which is scheduled to begin production in the fourth quarter of 2025. Once operational, we expect it will enable us to better meet market demand and capture higher margins amid potential shortages in chemical and plastic raw materials."

"Looking ahead, we remain committed to achieving profitable growth through enhanced operational efficiency, deeper customer relationships, and disciplined product portfolio and pricing strategies. We believe, these initiatives will support long-term shareholder value and position Texxon for continued growth in an increasingly dynamic market."

Sales of basic chemicals were $524.64 million for fiscal year 2025, representing an increase of 1.5% from $517.03 million for fiscal year 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average sales price.
Sales of plastic particles were $272.39 million for fiscal year 2025, representing an increase of 88.5% from $144.50 million for fiscal year 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume.

Sales of other products were $0.12 million for fiscal year 2025, compared to $11.13 million for fiscal year 2024. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to no sales of black metal for the fiscal year 2025, which had contributed approximately $11.0 million revenue from sales of other products for the fiscal year 2024.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales was $792.45 million for fiscal year 2025, representing an increase of 18.7% from $667.85 million for fiscal year 2024. The increase in cost of sales was largely attributable to the increase in the Company's sales volume of plastic particles by approximately 188.7 thousand tons, or 138.3%. The increase in cost of sales is in line with the increase in revenue.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit was $4.70 million for fiscal year 2025, compared to $4.82 million for fiscal year 2024.

Gross profit margin was 0.6% for fiscal year 2025, compared to 0.7% for fiscal year 2024. Gross profit and gross margin decreased primarily due to the Company's strategic shift toward serving major customers, to whom the Company offered more competitive pricing. The Company prioritized expanding business scale and strengthening long-term customer relationships over pursuing short-term high-margin transactions. This strategy temporarily reduced gross margin but is expected to enhance customer retention, stabilize cash flows, and support sustainable profitability growth in the long term.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $5.30 million for fiscal year 2025, representing an increase of 27.5% from $4.16 million for fiscal year 2024.

Selling expenses were $2.41 million for fiscal year 2025, representing an increase of 21.2% from $1.99 million for fiscal year 2024. The increase in selling expenses was mainly due to (i) salary and welfare benefit expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million mainly due to the addition of marketing personnel to support the Company's business expansion and higher commissions and bonuses paid to sales staff in connection with the increase in sales; (ii) shipping and delivery expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million, or 7.2%, from approximately $1.0 million for the fiscal year 2024 to approximately $1.1 million for the fiscal year 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase in sales volume and increased use of third-party shipping services for the sale of plastic particles. The total sales volume of plastic particles increased by 189 thousand tons, or 138.8%, from 136.0 thousand tons for the fiscal year 2024 to 324.8 thousand tons for the fiscal year 2025.

General and administrative expenses were $2.89 million for fiscal year 2025, representing an increase of 33.3% from $2.17 million for fiscal year 2024. The increase was mainly due to (i) an expected credit loss of approximately $0.7 million for the fiscal year 2025, compared to $1,385 of credit loss recovered for the fiscal year 2024, primarily due to full credit losses established against specific customer receivables following assessment of credit deterioration; and (ii) an increase in salary and welfare benefit expenses of approximately $0.1 million due to an increase in personnel in general and administrative department, (iii) an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $0.1 million, partially offset by (iv) a decrease in professional services fee of approximately $0.2 million.
Other expenses were $1.37 million for fiscal year 2025, compared to other income of $2.57 million for fiscal year 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to one-time government grants of approximately $2.9 million received in connection with the construction of Henan Polystyrene Factory, which are recognized as a reduction of the cost of construction in progress rather than as other income.

Net Income (loss)

Net loss was $1.45 million for fiscal year 2025, compared to net income of $2.51 million for fiscal year 2024. Net loss attributable to Texxon was $0.93 million for fiscal year 2025, compared to net income attributable to Texxon of $0.95 million for fiscal year 2024.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (losses) per Share

Basic and diluted losses per share were $0.05 for fiscal year 2025, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.05 for fiscal year 2024.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.52 million, an increase from $0.27 million as of June 30, 2024.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.32 million for fiscal year 2025, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $30.80 million for fiscal year 2024.

Net cash used in investing activities was $42.25 million for fiscal year 2025, compared to $11.02 million for fiscal year 2024.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $41.36 million for fiscal year 2025, compared to $29.36 million for fiscal year 2024.

Recent Development

On October 23, 2025, the Company completed its initial public offering (the "Offering") of 1,900,000 ordinary shares at a public price of US$5.00 per share. On October 28, 2025, the underwriters of the Offering fully exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 285,000 ordinary shares of the Company at the public offering price of US$5.00 per share.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 18, 2025) - StrikePoint Gold Inc. (TSXV: SKP) (OTCQB: STKXF) ("StrikePoint" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its non-brokered private placement offered under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the "LIFE Offering"). The Company issued 20,797,460 units (the "Units") of the Company at a price of CAD $0.15 per Unit (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of $3,119,619.

Each Unit consists of one Common Share (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant") of the Company. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of CAD $0.30 at any time on or before November 18, 2027.

The Units were sold pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"). The securities offered under the LIFE Offering will not be subject to a hold period in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, provided that the Warrants issued under this LIFE Offering shall not be exercisable for a period of 60 days after the date of issue.

In connection with the LIFE Offering, the Company paid finder's fees in the total amount of C$161,416.50 and issued 1,076,110 non-transferable warrants (the "Finder Warrants"). Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company at a price of C$0.30 at any time on or before November 18, 2027, which will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of closing.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised from the LIFE Offering for exploration activities at its two Nevada-based projects, the Hercules Gold Project and the Cuprite Gold Project as well as general working capital purposes. The LIFE Offering closing remains subject to several prescribed conditions, including, without limitation, approval of the TSX-V.

Insiders of the Company subscribed for a total of 199,460 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $29,919. The issuance of Units to insiders is considered a related party transaction subject to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 on the basis that the participation in the LIFE Offering by the insiders will not exceed 25 per cent of the fair market value of the Company's market capitalization. No new insiders were created, nor any change of control occurred, as a result of the LIFE Offering closing.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

, /PRNewswire/ -- NACCO Industries® (NYSE: NC) announced today that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of 25.25 cents per share and announced a new stock repurchase program.

The dividend is payable on both the Class A and Class B Common Stock, and will be paid December 15, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 1, 2025.

NACCO's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which NACCO may repurchase up to $20 million of the Company's outstanding Class A Common Stock through December 31, 2027. This program replaces the Company's previous repurchase program, which would have expired on December 31, 2025.

"We completed over $12 million of share repurchases under our previous program and we are pleased to announce the authorization of a new program," said J.C. Butler, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We will continue to purchase shares opportunistically as we balance repurchases with other capital needs and our desire to maintain a conservative balance sheet. We believe that maintaining a stock repurchase program is in the best interest of shareholders and it reflects confidence in our long-term business prospects."

The timing and amount of any repurchases under the new repurchase program will be determined at the discretion of the Company's management based on a number of factors, including the availability of capital, other capital allocation alternatives and market conditions for the Company's Class A Common Stock. The share repurchase program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. It may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice and may be executed through open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. All or part of the repurchases may be implemented under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which would allow repurchases under pre-set terms at times when the Company might otherwise be prevented from doing so.

PG&E's Budget-Friendly Tips Can Help Customers Deck the Halls without Draining Watts

, /PRNewswire/ -- As decorations go up and appliances work overtime for family gatherings, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is helping customers reign in energy waste and save money this holiday season.

According to the California Energy Commission, 10% of typical household energy use is from lighting and 31% is from kitchen appliances. Between the twinkling lights, additional home heating and festive cooking over the holidays, energy use can increase and lead to higher winter energy bills.

"The holidays are all about connection and comfort," said David Poster, PG&E Director of Building Electrification and Energy Efficiency. "Customers can celebrate while keeping energy costs down by adding a few simple steps into their holiday routine."

PG&E is unwrapping energy efficiency tips and sustainable swaps to help customers stay merry and mindful long after the decorations are packed up:

Temperature Check: For every degree you turn down your thermostat during the winter, you can save 1% on your annual energy bill.
Convection Mode: Use the convection setting on your oven. It cooks food faster and at a lower temperature, which saves energy and money.
Batch Cooking Benefits: Cook side dishes simultaneously in the oven. This reduces prep time and saves energy by allowing your oven to run for less time.
Don't Peek: Every time the oven door opens, the temperature inside is reduced by as much as 25 degrees. Use the oven window instead.
Al Dente Alternatives: Explore alternative cooking methods, including microwaves, crockpots, or induction cooktops for meals instead of a traditional stovetop to reduce energy costs.
Bulb Boost: LED holiday lights are at least 75% more energy efficient and last up to 25 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs.
Smart Timers: Automate your holiday lights by scheduling on/off times to prevent energy waste. Additional suggestions can be found here.

Gifts that Give Back

Induction Cooktop: Induction stoves are up to 90% energy-efficient, while electric resistance stoves are 75%, and gas stoves are 40% efficient. The PG&E Induction Cooktop Loaner Program allows customers to borrow a single-burner induction cooktop and pan for two weeks at no cost.
Energy-Efficient Appliances: Use PG&E's free Energy Action Guide to explore Energy Star® certified appliances.
LED Lights: The average household saves about $225 in energy costs per year by using LED lighting according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Smart Thermostats: Installing an EnergyStar-rated smart thermostat can save an average California customer between $50-$78 a year.
Heat Pumps for Space and Water Heating: Residential customers can save up to $78 a month, or about 20%, by switching from gas to highly efficient electric heat pump technology for space and water heating. Learn more at pge.com/electrification.
EV chargers: The cost to charge your EV during off-peak hours is about the same as paying $2.92 per gallon at the pump. The Residential Charging Solutions program offers a rebate on PG&E-approved EV charging equipment.

You can also make spirits bright by building an Energy Efficiency DIY Toolkit. With an investment in energy-efficient materials, customers can save hundreds of dollars each year.

Watch this video for additional savings strategies this season.

Other Ways Customers Can Lower and Manage Bills

Ensuring customers are on the lowest-cost rate for their household or business can help them manage energy costs. Customers can find their lowest rate by logging into their PG&E online account and using the Rate Comparison tool.

Budget Billing averages your energy costs over the last 12 months to determine your monthly payment and avoid seasonal spikes and billing surprises.

Rebates & Other Resources

GoGreen Home Financing: A statewide program which offers affordable financing for energy efficiency upgrades to help homeowners and renters reduce their energy use.
The Switch Is On: A statewide online resource designed to help homeowners and renters interested in switching from gas to electric appliances by connecting them with available incentives and qualified contractors.

Customers who need help paying their energy bills may also be eligible for financial assistance. To see if you qualify, visit pge.com/billhelp.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Astera Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALAB), a leader in semiconductor-based connectivity solutions for rack-scale AI infrastructure, today announced its Leo CXL Smart Memory Controllers enable customers to evaluate Compute Express Link® (CXL®) memory expansion capabilities for their specific workloads in the Azure M-series virtual machines (VMs) preview.

Microsoft's Azure M-series VMs is the industry's first announced deployment of CXL-attached memory, addressing the growing demands of memory-intensive workloads, including in-memory databases. As organizations process increasingly large datasets, traditional server architectures face a fundamental bottleneck known as the “memory wall.” CXL technology breaks through this barrier by enabling memory expansion beyond the limitations of CPU-attached DRAM, providing cloud providers and enterprises with the flexibility to scale memory capacity and performance.

Leo CXL Smart Memory Controllers support CXL 2.0 with up to 2TB of memory capacity per controller, enabling cloud providers to scale server memory capacity by more than 1.5×.¹ This addresses enterprise workloads such as in-memory databases and big data analytics, while also enabling AI inference applications, KV Cache storage for LLMs, machine learning workloads, and recommendation systems where large-scale memory capacity significantly reduces total cost of ownership.

“Our collaboration with Microsoft on CXL-attached memory for Azure M-Series virtual machines demonstrates our commitment to advancing memory connectivity solutions for cloud infrastructure,” said Thad Omura, chief business officer for Astera Labs. “By enabling dramatically higher memory capacities, we unlock performance and scalability for a growing list of AI and in-memory databases—applications where memory is the ultimate constraint. Astera Labs aims to advance memory connectivity innovations that redefine what’s possible in modern infrastructure.”

“Addressing memory capacity constraints in cloud infrastructure requires deep collaboration to understand both the technical challenges and the operational demands of hyperscale deployment,” said Rajesh Sankaran, distinguished engineer and vice president, Azure Hardware Systems & Architecture at Microsoft. “Astera Labs has been integral to advancing CXL capabilities for Azure, and their engagement—from early architectural discussions through platform integration—exemplifies the kind of collaboration essential for enabling new technologies.”

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains certain forward-looking statements regarding Microsoft’s deployment of Astera Labs’ Leo CXL Smart Memory Controllers for Azure M-series VMs featuring CXL technology and the expected impact and benefits associated with this private preview. Such forward-looking statements are introduced using words such as “aims,” “commitment,” and “potential” and variations of such words and similar expressions. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Astera Labs and Microsoft, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including, among others, the risk that the expected capabilities of the deployment may not be realized; delays, disruptions, challenges or increased costs in the solutions covered by the collaboration; the complexities and uncertainties in implementing solutions based on new technologies; litigation or disputes related to the collaboration or otherwise; macroeconomic conditions, including general semiconductor industry economic conditions; regulatory restrictions; international conflict and other risks and uncertainties described in Astera Lab’s Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC.

Recent market volatility is all about uncertainty, says Bob Lang with Explosive Options. One piece of clarity can come from Nvidia's (NVDA) earnings on Wednesday.

November 18, 2025 4:32 PM EST | Source: The Rosen Law Firm PA
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - November 18, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of MoonLake Immunotherapeutics (NASDAQ: MLTX) between March 10, 2024 and September 29, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important December 15, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased MoonLake 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 MoonLake class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=45681 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 15, 2025. 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 complaint, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material facts, regarding the distinction between the Nanobodies and monoclonal antibodies, including that: (1) SLK and BIMZELX share the same molecular targets (the inflammatory cytokines IL-17A and IL-17F); (2) SLK's distinct Nanobody structure would not confer a superior clinical benefit over the traditional monoclonal structure of BIMZELX; (3) SLK's distinct Nanobody structure supposed tissue penetration would not translate to clinical efficacy; and (4) based on the foregoing, defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements regarding SLK's purported superiority to monoclonal antibodies. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the MoonLake class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=45681 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

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

Key Takeaways
Thiel Marco, the hedge fund run by PayPal and Palantir founder Peter Thiel, sold its entire stake in Nvidia last quarter, joining a list of investors who've cashed out of the AI darling in recent months.AI sentiment has deteriorated in recent weeks amid debates about elevated stock valuations, unorthodox deals between suppliers and customers, and doubts about the return on AI investments.

While everybody is watching for Nvidia’s earnings report tomorrow, a few big investors have already taken their chips off the table.

Thiel Macro, tech titan Peter Thiel’s hedge fund, revealed in a regulatory filing late last week that it sold its entire stake in the AI bellwether during the third quarter. The 537,742 shares the firm held heading into the quarter would have been worth approximately $100 million at the end of September.

While people may sell assets for all sorts of reasons, Thiel joins a growing list of heavy hitters whose Nvidia (NVDA) moves have lately raised eyebrows on Wall Street. Japanese investment firm SoftBank revealed last week that it sold its entire Nvidia stake in October, raising about $5.8 billion. (Executives said the position was liquidated to fund investments in another AI darling, OpenAI.)

Why This Is Important
Nvidia, which dominates the market for accelerated computing chips, has benefited more concretely from the AI investment boom than nearly any other U.S. company. An increasingly bearish outlook for its stock could spell trouble for more speculative AI bets. Some investors aren't waiting for its next earnings report to make that call.

Others have outright bet against Nvidia. Scion Asset Management, run by Michael Burry, the hedge fund manager of “The Big Short” fame, revealed earlier this month that it sold short Nvidia shares valued at $186 million in the third quarter. (Scion also had a short bet against Palantir (PLTR), the data analytics firm Thiel founded in 2003, valued at more than $900 million at the end of the quarter.)

Some on Wall Street are increasingly worried that the AI boom is actually an AI bubble. They point to elevated stock valuations, uncertainty about AI's revenue potential, and a series of circular deals between vendors and customers as causes for concern. AI bulls contend that valuations are modest compared with the Dotcom Bubble, to which the current investment cycle is frequently compared, and remind skeptics that AI investment is being driven by hugely profitable tech businesses.

The bubble debate has weighed on AI sentiment and stocks heading into one of Wall Street's most important recurring events: Nvidia's quarterly earnings report, scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

High-flying AI stocks like Palantir, Applovin (APP), and Super Micro Computer (SMCI) are among the S&P 500's worst performers over the past week. Shares of Nvidia and Microsoft (MSFT) fell Tuesday even after they announced a cloud computing deal with startup Anthropic, the kind of tie-up that months ago might have been sure to boost socks.

Nvidia shares have fallen more than 10% since late October, when it became the first company in history to be worth $5 trillion. Nonetheless, Wall Street's expectations are still high heading into Wednesday's report, with analysts predicting big tech's aggressive investments will drive a solid quarter for the chipmaker.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Inspire repeatedly assured investors that it was fully prepared for every aspect of the Inspire V launch, touting high demand in the market. In truth, the Company's Inspire V launch was disastrous and was met with weak demand. The Company ignored basic steps that help ensure the quick adoption of new devices by clinicians. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Inspire, investors suffered damages.

Shares of Cisco(NASDAQ:CSCO) are trading just under $78 per share.

Salesforce's stock performance has detached from the broader equity market and for a good reason. In spite of certain short-term headwinds, CRM's management remains in a good position to deliver GAAP profitability improvements. The stock is priced on the assumption that margins will remain flat and this could act as major catalyst once the Informatica deal is done.

Almost everything has lined up for bonds lately.

The Federal Reserve has been cutting interest rates. Jobs growth and consumer spending are slowing, keeping hopes for further cuts alive, but not pointing to an imminent recession that would threaten corporate balance sheets. Inflation pressure has continued to moderate, despite fears that President Trump’s tariffs will drive prices higher.

The widely tracked Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index has returned around 6.7% in 2025, accounting for price changes and interest payments. That puts it on pace for the best year since 2020.

Bonds had regained ground after the Fed’s inflation-fighting campaign fueled a historically bad 2022. The Bloomberg Agg—made up largely of Treasurys, investment-grade corporate bonds and agency mortgage-backed securities—returned 5.5% in 2023, though it almost stalled in 2024.

Investors said 2025 feels different. The climb has rewarded investors still stinging from the unusual volatility that followed the Covid-19-era inflation surge. Unlike in the previous few years, the index’s returns have easily outpaced those of short-term T-bills—the other main choice for investors seeking a safe alternative to stocks.

"It’s certainly been more fun to go to client meetings this year as a bond manager," said Cal Spranger, a fixed-income manager at Badgley Phelps Wealth Managers. "A few years ago, I wasn’t getting invited to any."

While yields on government and corporate bonds have gradually come down, they are still far above the paltry levels seen during much of the past decade—and investors want to lock them in while they can. 

U.S. DEBT CHECKER: HERE'S WHAT YOU OWE

At times earlier this year, brief but sharp selloffs in U.S. Treasurys sparked alarm that the bond market might finally be buckling under the pressure of outsize U.S. borrowing. The size of the budget deficit can influence yields because a larger deficit means the government needs to borrow more by issuing Treasurys, and, in turn, attract demand for that debt with higher rates.

Falling rates have largely overwhelmed all of those concerns because bonds issued when rates are high become more valuable when they are expected to decrease. At the start of the year, investors were unsure if the Fed would be able to cut rates given persistent inflation and expectations Trump would pursue expansive fiscal policies. But a cooling labor market has already resulted in two cuts this year, with another reduction still possible.

BILL ACKMAN'S PLAN TO REMAKE FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC

Treasury yields, which fall when bond prices rise, have decreased as a result. The yield on the 10-year note has slid by nearly a half-percentage point this year, settling Friday at 4.147%.

Also aiding bonds: The Trump administration has kept close tabs on the market, at times swooping in during turbulent periods. The president paused the bulk of his so-called reciprocal tariffs in April because of "yippy" bond investors. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said that keeping yields low on longer-term Treasurys was a priority for the administration. They act as a benchmark for borrowing costs for everything from mortgages to student loans.

HIDDEN COSTS OF HOME OWNERSHIP

There are still plenty of threats to the rally. The path for interest-rate cuts has been muddied by a split between central bank officials, with some throwing cold water on the likelihood of a December rate cut. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warned in October that the Fed is "far" from decided on lowering rates next month, an unusually blunt remark from a central banker.

Investors now believe a December rate cut is roughly a coin flip. Futures markets on Friday were pricing in a roughly 46% chance of a cut, according to CME Group data, down from about 67% a week earlier. 

Some fret that the U.S. credit market is running hot and that historically high valuations for corporate debt are masking excesses in the market and insufficiently compensating investors for taking risks. The additional yield, or spread, that investors get for holding investment-grade corporate bonds over Treasurys fell to 0.72 percentage point in September, the lowest level since the late 1990s. It has since ticked up modestly to 0.83 percentage point.

FED CUTS RATES FOR SECOND TIME THIS YEAR

Some analysts warn that the U.S. government’s budget deficit is likely to weigh on the bond market again. The deficit came in at $1.8 trillion for the 2025 fiscal year, virtually unchanged from 2024.

"It certainly will be a problem at some point," said Mike Goosay, chief investment officer and global head of fixed income at Principal Asset Management. "You can only borrow so much before investors start to move away from you."

Many see the good times continuing, believing that interest rates still have farther to fall despite the recent uptick in uncertainty. 

Matt Brill, a senior portfolio manager and head of North American investment-grade credit at Invesco, said his team favors short-term bonds on a belief that coming economic data will push the Fed to continue cutting.

"You’re not getting a lot of layoffs, but you’re also not getting jobs being created," he said. "I think the Fed is looking at that, and it’s concerning to them."

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - November 18, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) between May 6, 2025 and June 19, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important November 18, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.

SO WHAT: If you purchased KBR 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 KBR class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=42136 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 November 18, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

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

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) despite the knowledge that the U.S. Department of Defense's Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) had, for months, had material concerns with HomeSafe's ability to fulfill the Global Household Goods Contract, defendants claimed that the partnership was without issue, and would ramp up in future quarters; and (2) as a result, defendants' statements about KBR's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the KBR class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=42136 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.

The holiday season not only presents an opportunity to spend time with loved ones, it also allows investors to tilt their portfolios towards assets that can capture short-term upside. One of those is gold.

Quantitative analysis website Quantpedia noted the seasonality of gold exposure this time of year. Because gold is an asset uncorrelated with the broader market, it can exhibit patterns that don’t generally coincide with the overall stock market. Furthermore, the precious metal can be subject to its own intrinsic patterns, which include holiday influences. Quantpedia looked at how cultural holidays correlate with gold demand, and the results indeed show a connection.

“Our empirical findings confirm the existence of a robust gold‐price drift around major wealth‐oriented holidays across all principal cultural zones,” they said. “The aggregated Global Holiday Drift strategy not only yields economically meaningful returns with modest risk but also provides actionable insights for investors seeking to capitalize on calendar effects rooted in socio-cultural consumer behavior.”

Outside of the holidays, the fundamental demand drivers for gold remain. The second rate cut of the year in October further intensified the “debasement trade,” highlighting the ongoing movement away from fiat currencies like the dollar and into other assets like gold. In a recent Sprott Precious Metals Report, market strategist Paul Wong noted that gold achieved new highs as “investors rotate toward hard assets to preserve purchasing power and hedge systemic and geopolitical risks.”

“This shift is not isolated to any single region—the U.S., Europe, Japan, and other developed economies are experiencing similar fiscal and monetary pressures,” Wong added.

2 Paths for Gold Exposure
Rather than purchase gold bullion, Sprott offers various paths to exposure via their precious metals funds. Two for gold specifically are the Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS) and the Sprott Gold Miners ETF (SGDM).

Those looking to mimic gold bullion exposure without the storage hassles, can look to PHYS. The fund offers easy access to pure-play gold exposure, but adds a degree of flexibility by allowing investors to convert their fund shares into physical bullion. Additionally, investors can convert their shares to bullion if they want a more tangible investment feel.

Gold miners are another path to exposure albeit indirectly. As demand for the metal rises, supportive services in the gold industry such as mining can also exhibit upside. As opposed to building a portfolio of gold mining stocks or over-concentrating in one name, SGDM adds broad-based exposure through the structural benefits of an ETF like trading flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and tax efficiency.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.  One cannot invest directly in an index.

Funds that emphasize investments in small/mid-cap companies will generally experience greater price volatility. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of investment losses. ETFs are considered to have continuous liquidity because they allow an individual to trade throughout the day. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses, affect the Fund’s performance.

Sprott Asset Management USA, Inc. is the Investment Adviser to the ETFs. ALPS Distributors, Inc. is the Distributor for the ETFs and is a registered broker-dealer and FINRA Member. ALPS Distributors, Inc. is not affiliated with Sprott Asset Management USA, Inc. or VettaFi.

Gold and precious metals are referred to with terms of art like store of value, safe haven and safe asset. These terms should not be construed to guarantee any form of investment safety. While “safe” assets like gold, Treasuries, money market funds and cash generally do not carry a high risk of loss relative to other asset classes, any asset may lose value, which may involve the complete loss of invested principal.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - November 18, 2025) - Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. (NYSE: INSP) and certain of the Company's senior executives for securities fraud after a significant stock drop resulting from the potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Inspire, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/inspire-medical-systems-inc-class-action-lawsuit.

Investors have until January 5, 2026, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Inspire stock. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota and is captioned City of Pontiac Reestablished General Employees' Retirement System v. Inspire Medical Systems, Inc., et al., No. 0:25-cv-04247.

Why is Inspire Being Sued For Securities Fraud?

Inspire develops and manufactures an implantable medical device for the treatment of sleep apnea. The latest version of the device is the Inspire V. The company announced FDA approval of Inspire V on August 2, 2024.

During the relevant period, Inspire repeatedly assured investors that it had taken all necessary steps to facilitate the launch of Inspire V and that it would launch the device as soon as sufficient inventory was available to meet supposedly high demand.

As alleged, in truth, Inspire failed to take basic steps to prepare clinicians and payors for the rollout, resulting in significant delays in adoption of the device. Moreover, the launch suffered from weak demand, as many customers already had excess inventory of the company's older devices.

Why did Inspire's Stock Drop?

On August 4, 2025, Inspire disclosed that the Inspire V launch was facing an "elongated timeframe" and as a result, it was reducing its 2025 earnings per share guidance by more than 80%. The company attributed the longer timeframe to a number of previously undisclosed factors including that many implanting centers "did not complete the training, contracting and onboarding required prior to the purchase and implant of Inspire V," that certain "software updates for claims submissions and processing did not take effect until July 1, [2025]" which meant implanting centers could not bill for procedures until that date, and that demand for the Inspire V was poor because Inspire's customers had a backlog of older versions of the company's device.

On this news, the price of Inspire stock dropped $42.04 per share, or more than 32%, from $129.95 per share on August 4, 2025, to $87.91 per share on August 5, 2025.
