CASE ALLEGATIONS: CoreWeave purports to be an AI cloud computing company.   On March 10, 2025, less than three weeks before CoreWeave conducted its initial public offering ("IPO"), CoreWeave announced a deal worth up to $11.9 billion to deliver AI infrastructure to OpenAI, a leading AI company, the complaint alleges.  And on July 7, 2025, CoreWeave allegedly announced a definitive agreement to acquire Core Scientific, Inc., one of the largest owners and operators of digital infrastructure for high performance computing in North America, in an all-stock transaction.

The CoreWeave class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) defendants had overstated CoreWeave's ability to meet customer demand for its service; (ii) defendants materially understated the scope and severity of the risk that CoreWeave's reliance on a single third-party data center supplier presented for CoreWeave's ability to meet customer demand for its services; and (iii) the foregoing was reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on CoreWeave's revenue.

The CoreWeave class action lawsuit alleges that on October 30, 2025 Core Scientific announced it had not received enough shareholder votes to approve its merger agreement with CoreWeave and, as a result, terminated the merger agreement.  On this news, the price of CoreWeave shares fell by more than 6%, the complaint alleges.

Then, the CoreWeave shareholder class action alleges that on November 10, 2025, CoreWeave announced lowered revenue guidance for 2025, citing "delays related to a third-party data center developer who is behind schedule."  Subsequently, on November 11, 2025 during an interview on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street," after host Jim Cramer challenged the initial characterization of the delays at issue, CoreWeave's CEO, defendant Michael Intrator, conceded that the delays implicated not just one data center, but a single data center provider – i.e., that more than one data center owned by the same provider was potentially affected, the complaint alleges.  On this news, the price of CoreWeave's shares fell more than 16%.

Finally, on December 15, 2025, the CoreWeave investor class action lawsuit alleges that The Wall Street Journal published an article reporting new information concerning the data center provider delays, revealing that the scope and severity of data center delivery issues were greater than defendants acknowledged.  Specifically, the article allegedly revealed that weather-related delays would push back the completion date of a Denton, Texas data center cluster intended for OpenAI by several months, that other data centers would be delayed due to revised design plans, that Core Scientific was CoreWeave's building partner behind the delayed data centers, and that Core Scientific began flagging these delays nine months before CoreWeave announced lowered revenue guidance in November 2025.  On this news, the price of CoreWeave shares fell an additional 3.4%, the complaint alleges.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired CoreWeave securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the CoreWeave class action lawsuit.  A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class.  A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the CoreWeave class action lawsuit.  The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the CoreWeave class action lawsuit.  An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the CoreWeave class action lawsuit.

Hong Kong, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SOLOWIN HOLDINGS (Nasdaq: AXG) (“AXG” or the “Company”), a leading financial technology firm bridging traditional and digital assets, today announced a partnership with Taobao Shangou,a subsidiary of Alibaba Group and Hangzhou Bossen, to implement an innovative model integrating “high-quality carbon assets + consumer platform incentives + on-chain carbon credit circulation.” This initiative establishes a replicable pathway for scaling carbon assets applications and advancing inclusive carbon reduction.

Achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality is a major national strategic objective in China. On August 25, 2025, the General Offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council issued a guideline to advance China’s green and low-carbon transition and strengthen the construction of the national carbon trading market. The document emphasized improving the inclusive carbon reduction mechanism and accelerating the scaled application of carbon assets. In response, on March 25, 2025, the Zhejiang Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the province’s top economic planning authority, released the Key Work Points for Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality in Zhejiang Province by 2025, outlining priorities including advancing green, low-carbon transitions in key sectors and promoting carbon asset initiatives.

Against this national and regional policy backdrop, and supported by favorable industry trends, AXG launched this collaboration to apply its blockchain expertise to the commercialization of inclusive carbon reduction in China. Ferion, AXG’s one-stop asset tokenization platform, provides a comprehensive technical solution and implementation framework for the compliant on-chain management of carbon assets. Leveraging its established capabilities in asset tokenization and blockchain infrastructure, Ferion facilitates condition verification, rights confirmation and mapping, circulation recording, and full lifecycle management of the carbon assets, ensuring a secure and transparent technical foundation for their integration into consumer scenarios.

Within the partnership framework, Hangzhou Bossen supplies high-quality carbon assets to Alibaba Group’s food delivery platform, Taobao Shangou, where carbon benefits are embedded into the platform’s incentive system. Through AXG’s Ferion system, these benefits are then allocated to Taobao Shangou users as rewards based on their carbon reduction behaviors, such as opting for green delivery or making low-carbon product choices, thereby encouraging consumers to participate in emission reduction through everyday consumption.

Dr. Thomas Zhu, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AlloyX Group, a subsidiary of AXG, commented: “Our collaboration with Taobao Shangou and Hangzhou Bossen, connects consumers, platforms and financial services, establishing a benchmark closed-loop model from carbon assets to consumer incentives and ultimately to carbon asset buyback. We believe this innovative business model will create a win-win scenario in terms of both social and platform value, and serve as a demonstrative case for the integration of green finance and digital technology, with the potential to further drive the broader adoption of inclusive carbon reduction.”

NEW YORK, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Hub Group, Inc. (“Hub Group” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HUBG).

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.

On February 6, 2026, Hub Group shares fell sharply, after the logistics company disclosed a $77 million accounting error related to purchased transportation costs and accounts payable, prompting a restatement of prior financial results. The company said the error did not impact cash flow, but investors reacted negatively to the disclosure, sending the stock down as much as roughly 25% intraday. The announcement coincided with the release of preliminary fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results and a delay in filing updated financial statements.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP (“GPWR”), announces that it has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Singh v. Paysafe Limited, et al., Case No. 1:26-cv-01048, on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Paysafe Limited (“Paysafe” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PSFE) securities between March 4, 2025 and November 12, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Plaintiff pursues claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR PAYSAFE INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

What Happened?

On November 13, 2025, before the market opened, Paysafe announced third quarter financial results, including revenue of $433.8 million, which missed consensus estimates by $5.8 million, and a net loss of $87.7 million, a steep drop from the prior year period wherein the Company’s net loss was only $12.98 million. The Company also slashed full year 2025 expected revenue to $17 million at the midpoint, and adjusted EPS $0.50 at the midpoint.

The Company further revealed that its credit loss expense for the quarter was $13,220 “primarily [as] the result of a specific provision for expected chargebacks related to an individual merchant in the Merchant Solutions segment.” The report revealed write-offs of $9,924 “driven by the write off of irrecoverable amounts receivable in the Merchant Solutions segment.”

On the same date, the Company held an earnings call during which CEO Bruce Lowthers revealed the Company “had a last-minute client that had to shut down that caused several million-dollar write-down in Q3.” Lowthers further revealed the Company is in a market tier with “higher risk MCC [Merchant Category Codes] codes.” Lowthers explained “those things sometimes are a little difficult to bank” and “sometimes the banks aren’t open to the additional risk” “so, we’ve had a little bit of challenge with that with some of those MCC codes.”

On this news, Paysafe’s stock price fell $2.80, or 27.6%, to close at $7.36 per share on November 13, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.

What Is The Lawsuit About?

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) Paysafe’s ecommerce business had significant exposure to a single high risk client; (2) as a result, the Company’s credit loss reserves and/or write-offs were understated; (3) Paysafe had an undisclosed issue with higher risk Merchant Category Codes, making its client services difficult to bank; (4) the foregoing issues were likely to have a material negative impact on the Company’s revenue growth and overall revenue mix; (5) as a result, Paysafe was unlikely to meet its own previously issued financial guidance for fiscal year 2025; and (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Paysafe securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than 60 days from the date of this notice to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff.

Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon are expected to spend nearly $700 billion combined this year to fuel their AI buildouts.

For investors who love cash above all else, some warning signs may be flashing.

With the heart of tech earnings season wrapping up this week, Wall Street has a clearer picture of how the artificial intelligence race is poised to accelerate in 2026. The four hyperscalers are now projected to increase capital expenditures by more than 60% from the historic levels reached in 2025, as they load up on high-priced chips, build new mammoth facilities and buy the networking technology to connect it all.

Getting to those kinds of numbers is going to require sacrifice in the form of free cash flow. Last year, the four biggest U.S. internet companies generated a combined $200 billion in free cash flow, down from $237 billion in 2024.

The more dramatic drop appears to be ahead, as companies invest heavily upfront, promising future returns on investment. That means, margin pressures. less cash generation in the near term and the potential need to further tap the equity and debt markets. Alphabet held a $25 billion bond sale in November, and it's long-term debt quadrupled in 2025 to $46.5 billion.

Amazon, which on Thursday said it expects to spend $200 billion this year, is now looking at negative free cash flow of almost $17 billion in 2026, according to analysts at Morgan Stanley, while Bank of America analysts see a deficit of $28 billion. In a filing with the SEC on Friday, Amazon let investors know that it may seek to raise equity and debt as its buildout continues.

watch now

Despite beating on revenue for the quarter, Amazon saw its stock sink almost 6% on Friday, bringing its drop for the year to 9%. Microsoft is down 17%, the most in the group, while Alphabet and Meta are up slightly.

While Amazon laid out the most aggressive spending plan among the megacaps, Alphabet wasn't far behind. The company, which is investing in its cloud infrastructure business as well as its Gemini models, sees up to $185 billion in capex this year. Morgan Stanley managing director Brian Nowak told CNBC's "Power Lunch" that he's projecting even more spend in coming years, with Alphabet shelling out up to $250 billion in 2027.

Pivotal Research projects Alphabet's free cash flow to plummet almost 90% this year to $8.2 billion from $73.3 billion in 2025. Analysts at Mizuho wrote in a report that bearish investors may look at the potential doubling of capex this year as "leaving limited FCF in 2026 with uncertain" return on investment.

Still, the analysts remain bullish and all kept their buy recommendations on the respective stocks. Longbow Asset Management CEO Jake Dollarhide is right there with them. He counts Amazon as his biggest holding, followed by Alphabet at fourth and Microsoft ninth in his portfolio.

"If you're going to pour all this money into AI, it's going to reduce your free cash flow," Dollarhide said. "Do they have to go to the debt markets or short-term financing to find the optimal mix of equity and debt? Yeah. That's why CEOs and CFOs are paid what they're paid."

'Somewhat shocking'Analysts at Barclays now see a drop of almost 90% in Meta's free cash flow, after the social media company said last week that capex this year will reach as high as $135 billion. They kept their overweight rating even as they forecast an even tougher cash position the next two years.

"We are now modeling negative FCF for '27 and '28, which is somewhat shocking to us but likely what we eventually see for all companies in the AI infrastructure arms race," the analysts wrote in a note after earnings.

When Meta CFO Susan Li was asked on the earnings call about capital allocation and the company's plans for future buybacks, she responded that the "highest order priority is investing our resources to position ourselves as a leader in AI."

At Microsoft, where capex is going up but at a slower rate than at its tech peers, Barclays estimates that free cash flow will slide by 28% this year before popping back up in 2027.

Representatives from Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta declined to comment.

A big advantage the tech industry's most-valuable companies have over high-flying AI upstarts like OpenAI and Anthropic, is that they've accumulated a massive cash pile in recent years. As of the end of the latest quarter, the four leaders had a total of over $420 billion in cash and equivalents.

Deutsche Bank analysts wrote in a report on Thursday about Alphabet that the company's infrastructure buildout is creating a "meaningful moat." It's a sentiment shared broadly by industry executives and experts who view AI as a generational opportunity with revenue reaching will into the trillions.

Businesses today are testing and building new AI agents to handle all sorts of tasks, including developing applications with just a few text prompts. All of that advancement requires hefty amounts of compute, which the cloud providers say is creating insatiable demand for their technology.

"Between what's happening in business and enterprise — they are all building on these AI companies Google, Meta, Amazon," Futurum Group CEO Daniel Newman told CNBC in an interview "These are core technologies."  

Morgan Stanley's Nowak said Alphabet is "seeing a lot of signal on return when it comes to Google Cloud, return on Google search, and YouTube." And Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said on his company's earnings call that growth at Amazon Web Services saw "the fastest we've seen in 13 quarters."

But plenty of unknowns remain, and some skeptics worry that a slip-up at OpenAI, which has announced over $1.4 trillion in AI deals, could lead to a market contagion because so much of the AI industry's growth prospects are tied to the ChatGPT creator.

"The truth is, we're at the dawn of a new technology shift and it's really hard to know the sustainability of top line," Michael Nathanson, co-founder of equity research firm MoffettNathanson, told CNBC. "We're entering new times and predicting the top line has gotten a lot harder. There's a ton of surprising going on."

The complaint filed alleges that, between November 19, 2024 and August 4, 2025, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) contrary to Defendants' repeated representations, their strong sales results did not reflect increased end-consumer demand or brand momentum; (2) instead, customers accumulated excess inventory as a safeguard against product shortages that had previously constrained BellRing's supply; (3) Once customers gained confidence that product shortages were a thing of the past, they promptly reduced their inventory by selling through existing products and cutting back on new orders; (4) Following the destocking, the Company admitted that competitive pressures were materially weakening demand; and (5) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 6, 2026 / Capital becomes meaningful only when it alters how a company behaves. Until then, it's just potential, visible but inactive. What matters is whether capital changes posture, cadence, and the range of decisions a management team can make without compromise.

That's the significance of the latest ELOC amendment at SMX (NASDAQ:SMX).

Rather than fine-tuning terms, the amendment, which commits up to $250 million, extends SMX's capital runway well into 2028, providing the company with more than twenty months of operational headroom. The immediate effect isn't financial optics. It's behavioral. SMX can now plan, sequence, and execute without the persistent friction that comes from a looming capital clock.

And in businesses built on infrastructure rather than short-cycle products, that distinction carries weight.

The Power of Time

Time changes how strategy is executed. With additional runway in place, SMX is operating from a position of continuity rather than compression. Decisions no longer need to be filtered through near-term funding constraints. Instead, execution can follow logic, complexity, and readiness. That shift alone separates platforms that scale deliberately from those forced into acceleration before systems are ready.

This isn't a subtle point. Capital pressure tends to produce predictable outcomes. Timelines tighten. Integration gets rushed. Strategic conversations drift back toward financing, even when the stated goal is execution. By extending its capital runway, SMX has stepped away from that dynamic and reinforced a longer operational horizon.

Importantly, this amendment doesn't stand on its own. It represents at least the fourth instance since 2023 in which capital has remained accessible to SMX as the company has progressed through its build phase. Notably, too, it comes in a market that has become increasingly selective, meaning repeated access to capital tends to reflect something tangible. Capital usually reappears and tends to stick with stories where execution is becoming easier to verify.

That recognition exists for a reason.

The Unique SMX Platform

As SMX's strategy has matured, so has external understanding of what the company is actually building. The SMX platform isn't a feature layered onto existing workflows. It's verification infrastructure designed to operate across physical materials, regulatory regimes, and global supply chains. Systems at that level don't scale on quarterly timelines, and they don't advance uniformly.

They move through coordination, integration, and validation across counterparties that often operate on entirely different clocks.

That's where a capital runway becomes operational rather than financial. It allows multiple initiatives to progress in parallel without forcing artificial prioritization driven by capital scarcity. It enables sequencing based on readiness instead of urgency. Over time, that approach compounds.

This becomes clearer when viewed against SMX's current engagement footprint. The company is already active across a diverse set of institutional, industrial, and regulatory channels. These include collaborations involving A*STAR, materials and textiles traceability initiatives such as TruCotton, precious-metals regulatory and trade frameworks connected to DMCC, and sensing and verification work alongside Redwave, among others.

While these engagements differ in scope and geography, they share a common requirement. Each demands time to integrate properly, validate at scale, and mature into embedded systems. The extended runway aligns with that reality instead of working against it.

This alignment also explains why capital has continued to surface as SMX has moved through 2024 and into 2025. The company has shifted from describing what its technology can do to demonstrating how it fits inside real supply chains, regulatory environments, and industrial workflows. Capital tends to follow that transition, not because it's encouraged to, but because progress becomes easier to assess.

That context frames why the upcoming period matters.

Funded to Engage, Develop, and Implement

Extending capital visibility into 2028 changes how outcomes can form. Instead of compressing timelines to satisfy short-term constraints, SMX can now let initiatives progress at the pace their complexity demands. Deal activity has room to deepen, integrations have room to settle, and partnerships can evolve into long-term operating relationships rather than transactional outcomes shaped by timing pressure.

That shift reframes how the market should think about capital altogether. In small-cap conversations, attention usually centers on how long funding lasts. For SMX, the more relevant question is how little it may need to rely on it. That isn't a forecast. It's an outcome that becomes possible when execution, not urgency, drives decision-making.

Very few infrastructure-oriented companies ever reach that position. When they do, it's rarely obvious in the moment. What looks like a capital update on the surface is often something else entirely underneath. In this case, SMX didn't change a financing narrative. It adjusted the sequencing of its execution.

With capital availability now aligned to the platform's architectural complexity, operational friction is reduced across planning, deployment, and scale. Decisions can follow readiness instead of deadlines. And growth can follow structure rather than stress.

For SMX, that's when execution stops reacting and starts compounding.

About SMX

As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

Forward-looking statements in this press release may include, for example: matters relating to the Company's fight against abusive and possibly illegal trading tactics against the Company's stock; successful launch and implementation of SMX's joint projects with manufacturers and other supply chain participants of steel, rubber and other materials; changes in SMX's strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans; SMX's ability to develop and launch new products and services, including its planned Plastic Cycle Token; SMX's ability to successfully and efficiently integrate future expansion plans and opportunities; SMX's ability to grow its business in a cost-effective manner; SMX's product development timeline and estimated research and development costs; the implementation, market acceptance and success of SMX's business model; developments and projections relating to SMX's competitors and industry; and SMX's approach and goals with respect to technology. These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this press release, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing views as of any subsequent date, and no obligation is undertaken to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include: the ability to maintain the listing of the Company's shares on Nasdaq; changes in applicable laws or regulations; any lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on SMX's business; the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations, and identify and realize additional opportunities; the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which SMX operates; the risk that SMX and its current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize SMX's products or services, or experience significant delays in doing so; the risk that the Company may never achieve or sustain profitability; the risk that the Company will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; the risk that the Company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations; the risk that third-party suppliers and manufacturers are not able to fully and timely meet their obligations; the risk that SMX is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; the possibility that SMX may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties described in SMX's filings from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Broadcom daily candlestick chart. Source: TradingView Broadcom enjoyed a strong 2025, ending the calendar year more than 51% higher, far outpacing the S&P 500’s growth of 17.9% over the same period.

Google Pushes AVGO Higher Although Alphabet’s $185 billion intentions for capital expenditures didn’t prompt a significant rally for GOOGL, investor optimism surrounding the firm’s constellation of peers grew significantly, with Ben Reitzes, head of technology research at Melius Research, suggesting that the capex spend would be a boon for Broadcom and other AI partners.

Google has strong ambitions for building data centers focused on artificial intelligence over the coming years. Because Google decided against running on industry-standard Nvidia chips, this increase in spending is set to play directly into the hands of NVDA’s semiconductor rivals.

Broadcom forms an integral part of the development of Google’s AI models, and the tech firm’s state-of-the-art Gemini 3 model was trained on Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), which are created with the help of the semiconductor specialists.

This isn’t to say that Broadcom isn’t a strong stock in its own right. The company confirmed that it will report its highly-anticipated Q1 2026 results on March 4, and upticks in AI-related order momentum throughout the semiconductor sector mean that investors will see this earnings report as a pivotal moment for AVGO’s long-term trajectory.

Broadcom has generated $64 billion in revenue over the last twelve months, which points to an expansion in software subscriptions and demand for AI connectivity and custom silicon.

The same period saw the stock’s operating income rise to $26 billion, with operating margins close to 41%, highlighting Broadcom’s strength in R&D, as well as acquisitions and shareholder returns.

Strength in Bespoke Chips Although Nvidia is a clear market leader when it comes to AI computing chips and their sales volumes, Broadcom has developed a strong USP that’s won business from Google and is turning the heads of many more ambitious firms seeking to boost their artificial intelligence adoption.

Rather than attempting to match Nvidia stride-for-stride, Broadcom has instead focused on developing custom AI chips in direct collaboration with each AI hyperscaler.

Although this strategy isn’t new in the computer chip ecosystem, Broadcom is the first major company to adopt the approach for AI workloads, and it’s helping to deliver high levels of demand among clients.

This USP has caused Broadcom’s revenue to rally 74% to $6.5 billion in Q4 2025. For the first quarter this year, the company expects its rate of revenue growth to reach $8.2 billion.

AI Growing Pains Remain Although Broadcom is a stock that possesses plenty of potential, it’s also experiencing growing pains in a wildly competitive artificial intelligence landscape.

AVGO has slipped more than 23% from its early December peak value of $413 as investors became wary of booming demand for custom AI processors bringing lower gross margins than Broadcom’s legacy silicon businesses.

Broadcom’s large AI order book, which consists of a $73 billion backlog, could risk underpinning growth while producing short-term margin pressure as the firm reallocates resources towards producing more custom chips.

These concerns made December a prime month for profit-taking among investors. Looking ahead, the direction that the artificial intelligence boom will take in 2026 remains unclear, with more institutions increasing their hedges against the prospect of an AI bubble.

While Broadcom’s chips carry a highly sought-after USP in a rapidly growing AI industry, many investors will be looking ahead to the firm’s earnings report on March 2 for an indication of whether AVGO is in a position to shrug off these lingering concerns.

Can AVGO Challenge the Magnificent Seven? Broadcom has already infiltrated the Magnificent Seven on Wall Street, nestling between the likes of Tesla and Meta Platforms in terms of market capitalization.

Given that the firm has a genuine competitive advantage over semiconductor rivals Nvidia and an expansive order sheet, it’s clear that Broadcom has the potential to continue growing its value significantly in 2026.

However, with December sell-offs still fresh in the memory, Broadcom’s trajectory will become clearer following its fiscal first-quarter results in March. Any evidence that the firm can deliver on its lofty growth ambitions will form a springboard for a stock that has plenty to offer in the AI sector.

Huron Consulting (HURN) witnessed a jump in share price last session on above-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions for the stock doesn't suggest further strength down the road.

What does a successful retirement look like? If it means financial security through steady income sources, then you can get there with the help of high-yield dividend stocks.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than February 9, 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.

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 made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Integer materially overstated its competitive position within the growing electrophysiology ("EP") manufacturing market; (2) despite Integer's claims of strong visibility into customer demand, Integer was experiencing a sustained deterioration in sales relating to two of its EP devices; (3) in turn, Integer mischaracterized its EP devices as a long-term growth driver for its cardio and vascular ("C&V") segment; (4) as a result of the above, defendants' positive statements about Integer's business, and 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.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Klarna class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=48971 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 February 20, 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, the Registration Statement contained false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Defendants materially understated the risk that Klarna's loss reserves would materially go up within a few months of the IPO, which they either knew of or should have known of given the risk profile of many individuals agreeing to Klarna's buy now, pay later ("BNPL") loans; and (2); as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times and negligently prepared. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

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.

Bithumb accidentally credited users $95B in Bitcoin during a promotional event, triggering a $16,000 price crash. Users sold $2B before the error was fixed.

A major technical error at Bithumb, one of South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, led users to receive billions of dollars' worth of Bitcoin instead of a modest promotional prize. The mistake triggered immediate chaos on the platform and caused Bitcoin's price to temporarily crash on the exchange.

The incident occurred during a promotional campaign called "Random Box." Participants were expected to receive 2,000 Korean won, equivalent to approximately $1.37. Instead, the system credited accounts with 2,000 BTC. At current market rates of around $70,000 per Bitcoin, each erroneous transfer was worth roughly $140 million.

Approximately 700 users participated in the Random Box promotion. Based on the campaign's structure, roughly 672 users likely received the inflated Bitcoin amounts. The total value of accidentally distributed Bitcoin reached an estimated $95.4 billion. However, these funds existed only within Bithumb's internal accounting system. No actual blockchain transactions took place.

Flash Crash and Rapid ResponseBithumb detected the error within five minutes of its occurrence. The company moved quickly to reverse the mistaken credits. Despite the brief timeframe, significant damage occurred as users rushed to capitalize on the windfall.

South Korean financial authorities estimate that users sold over $2 billion worth of the phantom Bitcoin during the five-minute window. The massive sell-off created artificial downward pressure on Bitcoin's price within the Bithumb platform. The cryptocurrency plummeted to $55,000 on the exchange while maintaining prices near $60,000 on other platforms.

The price disparity highlighted the localized nature of the incident. Bitcoin markets on competing exchanges remained largely unaffected. Bithumb's internal systems bore the full brunt of the selling pressure. The price recovered after the company corrected the accounting error and halted unauthorized transactions.

Security Assurances and Damage ControlBithumb issued a public statement addressing the incident. The exchange emphasized that external hackers played no role in the error. The company attributed the mistake to an internal technical malfunction during the promotional event setup.

"This incident is unrelated to any external hacking or security breach," Bithumb stated in an official blog post. The company stressed that system security remained intact throughout the event. Customer assets stored on the platform were never at risk, according to the statement.

The exchange confirmed that no users lost pre-existing funds due to the error. Only the mistakenly credited Bitcoin was affected by the correction process. Bithumb's reversal of the erroneous transactions restored accurate account balances across the platform.
