CBOE Global (CBOE - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $3.06 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.93 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.1 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +4.52%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this holding company for the Chicago Board Options Exchange would post earnings of $2.53 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.67, delivering a surprise of +5.53%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

CBOE, which belongs to the Zacks Securities and Exchanges industry, posted revenues of $671.1 million for the quarter ended December 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.75%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $524.5 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

CBOE shares have added about 9.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 0.7%.

What's Next for CBOE?While CBOE has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for CBOE was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.73 on $624.11 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $11.19 on $2.52 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Securities and Exchanges is currently in the top 20% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, S&P Global (SPGI - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended December 2025. The results are expected to be released on February 10.

This independent ratings and analytics provider is expected to post quarterly earnings of $4.32 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +14.6%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.3% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

S&P Global's revenues are expected to be $3.89 billion, up 8.4% from the year-ago quarter.

Key Takeaways Five growth stocks are recommended for February as U.S. markets trade higher on solid earnings.MU benefits from AI server adoption boosting DRAM demand and a roadmap toward HBM4 in 2026. CIEN lifted its 2026 revenue outlook on AI-led cloud demand and strong networking platform growth. U.S. stock markets have started 2026 on a positive note. All three major stock indexes are trading in positive territory. This trend is likely to continue in January buoyed by the strong fundamentals of the domestic economy, solid fourth-quarter 2025 earnings results, the Fed’s accommodative monetary policies and the evaporation of trade and tariff-related issues. 

At this stage, we recommend investing in growth stocks to strengthen your portfolio in February. Growth investors are primarily focused on stocks with aggressive earnings or revenue growth, which should propel their stock prices higher in the future.

Five such stocks are: Micron Technology Inc. (MU - Free Report) , MongoDB Inc. (MDB - Free Report) , Amphenol Corp. (APH - Free Report) , Ciena Corp. (CIEN - Free Report) and Seagate Technology Holdings plc (STX - Free Report) . Each of our picks sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and has a Growth Score of A. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

The chart below shows the price performance of our five picks in the past month.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Micron Technology Inc.Micron Technology has become a leader in the AI infrastructure boom due to strong demand for its high-bandwidth memory (HBM) solutions. Record sales in the data center end market and accelerating HBM adoption have been driving MU’s Dynamic Access Random Memory (DRAM) revenues higher.

The growing adoption of AI servers is reshaping the DRAM market as these systems require significantly more memory than traditional servers. This is boosting demand for both high-capacity DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Module) and low-power server DRAM. MU is capitalizing on this trend with its leadership in DRAM technology and a strong product roadmap that includes HBM4, slated for volume production in 2026.

Micron’s diversification strategy is also bearing fruit. MU has created a more stable revenue base by shifting its focus away from the more volatile consumer electronics market toward resilient verticals such as automotive and enterprise IT.

As AI adoption accelerates, the demand for advanced memory solutions, such as DRAM and NAND will soar. MU’s investments in next-generation DRAM and 3D NAND ensure that it remains competitive in delivering the performance needed for modern computing.

Micron has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 96.1% and more than 100%, respectively, for the current year (ending August 2026). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year’s earnings has improved 0.0.1% over the last 30 days.

MongoDB Inc.MongoDB has scaled its Atlas platform beyond database management into analytics, emphasizing developer-friendly interfaces and distributed architectures. MDB targets agile development and modern workloads to derive benefits from the new generative AI world. 

MDB has benefited from continued platform adoption across enterprises and startups. Its upmarket focus with larger enterprises likely supported deal sizes and sales efficiency, while the self-serve channel continued to expand, driving efficient mid-market customer acquisition.

Product initiatives during the period were still in the early stages of rollout. MDB introduced new Voyage AI embedding models and launched the Model Context Protocol Server in public preview, extending integrations with tools such as GitHub Copilot and Anthropic Claude. These moves strengthened MDB’s positioning in AI-driven applications. 

MongoDB has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 17.8% and 17.2%, respectively, for the current year (ending January 2027). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year’s earnings has improved 0.2% over the last seven days.

Amphenol Corp.Amphenol benefits from a diversified business model. Its strong portfolio of solutions, including high-technology interconnect products, is a key catalyst. The company is a dominant force in AI-powered data center interconnects, commanding an estimated 33% market share. APH’s advanced fiber-optic and high-density interconnect solutions are now essential for hyperscale data centers and 5G deployments. 

Increased spending on both current and next-generation defense technologies bodes well for APH’s top-line growth. Apart from Defense, Amphenol’s prospects ride on strong demand for its solutions across Commercial Air, Industrial, and IT Datacom. Solid demand for high-speed and power interconnect products, which are critical components in next-generation IT systems, creates a long-term growth opportunity. 

Rising AI workloads and cloud infrastructure upgrades are fueling demand for high-speed interconnects. This momentum is expected to support the Communications Solutions segment. Electrification in transportation and increasing electronic content in medical devices are driving the adoption of APH’s cable assemblies and sensor-based systems. These drivers are expected to support steady growth in the Interconnect and Sensor Systems segment. 

Amphenol has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 34.9% and 29.3%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year’s earnings has improved 6.4% in the last 30 days.

Ciena Corp.Ciena’s fiscal fourth-quarter reflected year-over-year 20% top-line gains, 69.5% EPS growth and a record $5 million order backlog, driven by accelerating AI-led demand from cloud and service provider customers. Driven by strong cloud and service provider momentum, CIEN has gained 2 points of optical market share year to date and expects further gains in 2026. 

Networking Platforms revenues rose 22% to $1.05 billion, driven by 19% Optical growth on a 72% RLS surge and 49% growth in Routing and Switching from DCOM demand. CIEN lifted its fiscal 2026 revenue outlook to $5.7-$6.1 billion, nearly 24% growth at the midpoint, up from the prior 17%, on strong demand from cloud, DCI, and AI infrastructure.

Increased network traffic, higher demand for bandwidth, and adoption of cloud architectures remain the key growth drivers as the company expects to improve its profitability with a balanced mix of new and existing customers. CIEN’s portfolio, including WaveLogic, RLS, Navigator, and Interconnect Solutions, remains a recognized industry standard, with WaveLogic 6 and RLS giving it an 18 - 24 month technology lead and strong positioning to serve global AI network opportunities.  

Ciena has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 24.1% and more than 100%, respectively, for the current year (ending October 2026). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year’s earnings has improved 20.2% in the last 60 days.

Seagate Technology Holdings plcSeagate Technology has been witnessing strong execution amid intensified cloud and AI demand. Management highlighted that modern data centers increasingly need solutions that balance performance with cost efficiency, a trend that strongly favors Seagate’s roadmap. STX’s areal-density-driven strategy aligns well with the long-term growth of AI-generated data, suggesting sustained demand beyond short-term cycles.

STX’s high-capacity nearline production is largely booked through 2026, with long-term contracts providing strong demand visibility through 2027. Advancing aerial density remains a major strength for STX and a key driver of progress across the entire hard drive industry. 

STX’s aerial density roadmap ensures a lasting TCO advantage for hard drives over alternative technologies. Customers recognize the value of higher-capacity HAMR drives as the most efficient solution to meet growing AI-driven data storage demands.

In September 2025, STX announced an alliance with Acronis to provide MSPs and enterprises with secure, scalable storage for AI-driven data growth. Seagate and Acronis will offer Acronis Archival Storage, a secure, compliant, cost-efficient S3 solution using Seagate’s Lyve Cloud. Designed for MSPs and regulated sectors, it provides long-term data storage with enterprise-grade security, predictable costs and full compliance support.

Seagate Technology has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 24.6% and 55.9%, respectively, for the current year (ending June 2026). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year’s earnings has improved 11.8% over the last 30 days. 

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, reminds investors of a class action lawsuit against BellRing Brands, Inc. (“BellRing” or “the Company”) (NYSE: BRBR) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investors who purchased the Company’s securities between November 19, 2024 and August 4, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”), are encouraged to contact the firm before March 23, 2026.

The class, in this case, has not yet been certified, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. BellRing’s sales during the Class Period were driven by temporary inventory stockpiling by certain customers, not its supposed strength in the competitive marketplace. Despite its claims, the Company was not enjoying strong customer demand and positive momentum. Customers reduced their new orders for the Company’s products when they felt comfortable that inventory constraints were no longer a concern. 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 BellRing, investors suffered damages.

When Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) announced 2026 capital expenditure guidance of $175-$185 billion during its Q4 2025 earnings call on February 4, th, it represented a 97% year-over-year increase in spending.

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Johnson Fistel, PLLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Ardent Health, Inc. (NYSE: ARDT) securities between July 18, 2024 and November 12, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit seeks to recover losses for investors under the federal securities laws.

What if I purchased Ardent Health securities?

If you purchased Ardent Health securities and suffered losses, you have until March 9, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff. Investors who suffered significant losses and would like to discuss their rights, or to determine whether they qualify to participate in any potential recovery, should visit:
https://www.johnsonfistel.com/investigations/ardent-health-inc/

You may also contact James Baker at (619) 814-4471 or [email protected], or Frank J. Johnson, Esq. at [email protected] to discuss your rights privately.

What is this case about?

According to a recently filed class action complaint, Ardent Health and certain of its senior executives made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse information regarding the Company’s business, operations, and financial reporting practices.

Ardent Health operates acute care hospitals and other healthcare facilities, and a critical aspect of its business involves the collection and valuation of accounts receivable. During the Class Period, defendants represented that the Company employed an active monitoring process to determine collectability, including detailed reviews of historical collections as a primary source of information.

The complaint alleges that, in reality, Ardent Health did not primarily rely on detailed historical collection reviews, but instead utilized a 180-day threshold at which accounts became fully reserved. This accounting practice allegedly allowed the Company to report inflated accounts receivable balances and delay recognition of losses on uncollectible accounts. As a result, defendants’ statements regarding Ardent Health’s financial condition and internal controls were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Why did Ardent Health’s stock price decline?

On November 12, 2025, after market close, Ardent Health disclosed that it had completed hindsight evaluations of historical collection trends, resulting in a $43 million reduction in quarterly revenue. The Company also revealed a $54 million increase in professional liability reserves due to adverse prior-period claim developments and broader industry trends.

Following these disclosures, the price of Ardent Health stock declined approximately 33%, falling $4.75 per share, from a closing price of $14.05 on November 12, 2025, to $9.30 on November 13, 2025, causing significant losses to investors.

Seong-Min Kwak

Good afternoon. This is Kwak Seong-Min, the CFO of Woori Financial Group. Let me go over the 2025 full year performance. Please turn to Page 2 of the material, which is available on our website. The group's 2025 net income was KRW 3,141.3 billion, representing a Y-o-Y increase of 1.8%. The ROE was similar to last year at 9.1%. Amid uncertainties in the financial market regarding interest rates and FX rates and concern about a slowdown, balanced top line growth and the insurance acquisition enabled the group to achieve a high -- record a -- record high net operating revenue and stable profits. In particular, we set sizable reserves for future loss factors, including payoff projects with completion guarantee

Intel (INTC) has faced challenges in the past. Its stock has dropped over 30% in less than two months on three different occasions in recent years, resulting in the loss of billions in market capitalization and erasing substantial gains in a single correction. If past performance is any indication, INTC stock is not protected from sudden, sharp downturns.

Margin Compression During a Costly and Uncertain Foundry TransitionDeclining Server Market Share and Competitive MismanagementDeteriorating Core Business Financials and Weak Forward GuidanceRisk 1: Margin Compression During a Costly and Uncertain Foundry Transition

Details: Ongoing pressure on gross margins, anticipated to drop to 34.5% on an adjusted basis (Q1 2026 Guidance), Valuation de-rating due to multi-billion dollar losses from foundry operations with no clear strategy for achieving profitability (FY2025 10-K)Segment Affected: Intel FoundryPotential Timeline: Immediate to the next 4 quartersEvidence: Intel Foundry faced operating losses of around $7 billion in 2023, with significant losses expected to continue through 2025. Major potential partners such as Nvidia and Apple are reportedly only engaged in preliminary discussions for future nodes (2028 and beyond), suggesting a lack of immediate high-volume commitments (Digitimes Report, Feb 2026)Risk 2: Declining Server Market Share and Competitive Mismanagement

Details: Ongoing loss of high-margin data center CPU market share to rivals, Difficulty in fully seizing the AI server opportunity due to supply limitations and a less competitive product lineupSegment Affected: Data Center and AI (DCAI)Potential Timeline: Immediate and continuing through 2026Evidence: AMD’s server market share reached 27.2% in Q1 2025, the highest ever recorded, showcasing sustained momentum against Intel (Mercury Research, May 2025). Intel acknowledged supply constraints in their Q4 2025 earnings call, which hampered their ability to meet demand in the rapidly growing data center and AI divisions (Q4 2025 Earnings Call, Jan 2026)Risk 3: Deteriorating Core Business Financials and Weak Forward Guidance

Details: Projected Q1 2026 non-GAAP EPS of $0.00, a significant shortfall from analyst expectations and a stark drop from the previous year (Q1 2026 Guidance, Jan 2026), Negative full-year 2025 free cash flow of -$1.6 billion, indicating cash outflow from operations and elevated capital expenditures (Q4 2025 Earnings Report, Jan 2026)Segment Affected: Client Computing Group (CCG)Potential Timeline: Q1 2026Evidence: Client Computing Group (CCG) revenue fell by 7% year-over-year in Q4 2025, reflecting weakness in the core PC segment (Q4 2025 Earnings Report, Jan 2026). Q1 2026 revenue guidance of $11.7 billion to $12.7 billion is significantly lower than the $13.7 billion recorded in Q4 2025, suggesting a sharp near-term decline (Q1 2026 Guidance, Jan 2026)What Is The Worst That Could Happen?

Analyzing Intel’s risks in challenging markets reveals evident vulnerability. It plummeted approximately 74% during the Dot-Com crash, 55% during the Global Financial Crisis, and 62% amid the inflation crisis. Even smaller disturbances, such as in 2018 and the Covid pandemic, resulted in decreases of around 25% to 35%. This represents a significant risk of downside.

Moreover, stocks can decline even in favorable markets—consider events such as earnings reports, business updates, and changes in outlook. Review INTC Dip Buyer Analyses to understand how the stock has bounced back from steep dips in the past.

Investors in Levi Strauss & Co. (LEVI - Free Report) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Feb. 20, 2026 $6 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.

What is Implied Volatility?Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.

What do the Analysts Think?Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Levi Strauss & Co. shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Levi Strauss & Co. is a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) in the Retail - Apparel and Shoes industry that ranks in the Top 16% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 30 days, no analyst increased the earnings estimates for the current quarter, while two have dropped their estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 39 cents per share to 37 cents in that period.

Given the way analysts feel about Levi Strauss & Co. right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.

Bit Digital Inc (NASDAQ:BTBT) has reported its January Ethereum treasury and staking metrics, including details on its crypto holdings and its equity stake in WhiteFiber.

As of January 31, 2026, the company held approximately 155,239.4 ether.

Based on a closing Ethereum price of about $2,449, Bit Digital said the market value of its ETH holdings was roughly $380.2 million, with an average acquisition price of approximately $3,045 per ETH.

The company reported that about 138,266 ETH, or roughly 89% of its total holdings, was staked at the end of the month.

Staking operations generated approximately 344 ETH in rewards during January, representing an annualized yield of about 2.9%.

Bit Digital said it had approximately 324.2 million shares outstanding as of the month-end.

The company also disclosed ownership of about 27 million shares of WhiteFiber, with a market value of approximately $527.6 million as of the same date.

Bit Digital reiterated that it will not sell any of its WhiteFiber shares in secondary offerings or other discretionary dispositions during 2026.

RXO (RXO - Free Report) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.07 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.04. This compares to earnings of $0.06 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -80.88%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this transportation services provider would post earnings of $0.03 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.01, delivering a surprise of -66.67%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once.

RXO, which belongs to the Zacks Transportation - Services industry, posted revenues of $1.47 billion for the quarter ended December 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.85%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.67 billion. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

RXO shares have added about 31.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 0.7%.

What's Next for RXO?While RXO has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for RXO was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is -$0.07 on $1.38 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.14 on $5.95 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Transportation - Services is currently in the top 30% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (HTZ - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended December 2025. The results are expected to be released on February 26.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.53 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +55.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $2.01 billion, down 1.6% from the year-ago quarter.

GrafTech International (EAF - Free Report) came out with a quarterly loss of $2.45 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $1.27. This compares to a loss of $1.3 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -93.68%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this maker of graphite products would post a loss of $1.22 per share when it actually produced a loss of $1.03, delivering a surprise of +15.57%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

GrafTech, which belongs to the Zacks Metal Products - Procurement and Fabrication industry, posted revenues of $116.46 million for the quarter ended December 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 17.92%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $134.22 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

GrafTech shares have added about 1.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 0.7%.

What's Next for GrafTech?While GrafTech has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for GrafTech was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is -$1.10 on $137.65 million in revenues for the coming quarter and -$4.20 on $578.55 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Metal Products - Procurement and Fabrication is currently in the top 6% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Esab (ESAB - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended December 2025.

This maker of welding and cutting equipment is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.34 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +4.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.3% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.

Esab's revenues are expected to be $687.72 million, up 8.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Key Takeaways FXG reaches a new 52-week high as defensive sectors gain traction in volatile markets.Investor rotation from tech into consumer staples boosts demand for safe-haven ETFs. First Trust Consumer Staples AlphaDEX ETF (FXG - Free Report) is probably on the radar for investors seeking momentum. The fund just hit a 52-week high and has moved up 12.2% from its 52-week low price of $59.67/share.

Are more gains in store for this ETF? Let us take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook on it to get a better idea of where it might be headed.

FXG in FocusThe underlying StrataQuant Consumer Staples Index is a modified equal-dollar weighted index designed by the AMEX to objectively identify and select stocks from the Russell 1000 Index that may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive style indices through the use of the AlphaDEX screening methodology. The product charges 63 bps in annual fees and yields 2.56% annually (see: all Consumer Staples ETFs).

Why the Move?The consumer staples sector of the market has been an area to watch lately, given the rising volatility. An uncertain U.S. trade policy, coupled with a downturn in tech stocks, is leading investors to shift their focus toward defensive funds. Consumer Staples funds act as a safe-haven amid political and economic turmoil.

More Gains Ahead?Currently, FXG has a Zacks ETF Rank #3 (Hold) with a Medium risk outlook. It might continue its strong performance in the near term, with a positive weighted alpha of 7.79 (per Barchart.com), which gives cues of a modest rally ahead.

Stock futures are rising this morning as the market looks to end a volatile week of trading on a high note; bitcoin is rebounding after sinking yesterday to its lowest level since October 2024; Shares of Amazon are sharply lower after the tech giant reported disappointing quarterly earnings and announced big AI spending plans; Stellantis shares are tumbling after the automaker said it would take about $26 billion in charges related to an overhaul of its EV business; and shares of Roblox, Reddit and Coty are all making big moves after their latest earnings reports. Here's what you need to know today.

Stocks Point Higher After 3 Days of Big Losses Major indexes are poised to open higher after three consecutive days of big losses fueled in large part by declines for tech sector stocks amid AI-related concerns. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 were recently up 0.6%, while those linked to the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 0.7%. All three indexes fell by more than 1% on Thursday, leaving the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq on pace to post losses for the week. The Dow is up slightly for the week and on track to snap a three-week losing streak. Bitcoin was trading at $67,300 recently, up from an overnight low of $60,000. (more on that below) Gold futures were up nearly 1% to $4,935 an ounce, while oil futures ticked lower to around $63 per barrel. The yield on the 10-year Treasury yield, which fell sharply yesterday amid the broader market volatility, was holding steady around 4.20%.

Bitcoin, Crypto Stocks Rebound After Rout Bitcoin is surging this morning after sinking to its lowest level since October 2024 amid a broader move by investors away from risky assets. The cryptocurrency was recently at $67,300 after falling as low as $60,000 overnight. The digital asset hasn't traded at these levels since before the election of President Donald Trump, which propelled bitcoin to a series of record highs amid optimism about a pro-crypto environment in Washington, DC. Bitcoin has lost nearly half of its value since hitting a record high above $126,000 just three months ago. Crypto-related stocks are also rebounding this morning after several suffered steep declines on Thursday. Shares of Strategy (MSTR), the largest single corporate holder of bitcoin, were up more than 7% in premarket trading, while trading platforms Robinhood (HOOD) and Coinbase (COIN), and bitcoin miner Mara Holdings (MARA), were also solidly higher. Each of the stocks had posted double-digit declines on Thursday.

Amazon Sinks on Weak Earnings, Spending Plans Amazon (AMZN) shares are tumbling this morning after the tech giant fell short of profit estimates in its quarterly results last night, and outlined big new spending plans. Shares of the e-commerce and cloud computing giant were recently down 8% and on track to open at their lowest level since May. Amazon's fourth-quarter revenue topped estimates at a record $213.4 billion while earnings per share fell just short, but investors are focused on the company's spending outlook. The company projected up to $200 billion in capital expenditures this year as it finances some projects in retail, but largely boosts spending on its AI infrastructure buildout. Amazon became the latest Magnificent Seven member to reveal giant spending plans for 2026, and the announcements have drawn mixed reactions from investors who look to be growing concerned over the plans.

Stellantis Stock Plummets on Business 'Reset' Shares of Stellantis (STLA) plunged in premarket trading after the automaker made several announcements as part of a "reset" of its business to better meet consumer demand. The maker of Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge and several European car brands said it is taking a charge of about 22 billion euros ($26 billion) for the second half of 2025. The charge is largely due to an overhaul of its electric vehicle strategy, making Stellantis the latest automaker to adjust its EV expectations in the U.S. Stellantis said its EV strategy will continue "at a pace that needs to be governed by demand rather than command." Stellantis said that it expects to record a net loss for 2025, which led the company to suspend its dividend for 2026 and approve the sale of up to 5 billion euros in hybrid bonds. Along with the realigning of its EV strategy, Stellantis said that it will sell its 49% stake in NextStar Energy, a battery manufacturing joint venture in Canada, to its 51% partner, LG Energy Solution. Stellantis shares were down 26% recently, trading at their lowest levels in six years.

Busy Week of Earnings Closes With More Big Moves A week filled with earnings reports is coming to a close on Friday with several well-known stocks making more big moves. Reddit (RDDT) shares were recently up 8%, recovering from a tumble that hit tech stocks broadly in recent weeks, after the social media company forecast solid revenue growth and announced a $1 billion stock buyback plan. Roblox (RBLX) shares jumped 10% after the video game maker outlined its own solid revenue and bookings forecast. Meanwhile, shares of Coty (COTY) were down 13% after the Covergirl parent withdrew its full-year outlook in its fiscal second quarter earnings report, citing a "complex beauty market backdrop" and the transition to its new CEO announced in December.

Under Armour Inc (NYSE:UA) beat third-quarter profit expectations and raised its full-year outlook on Thursday, benefiting from aggressive cost controls even as sales continued to slide and tariff pressures weighed on margins.

The sportswear maker posted adjusted earnings of $0.09 per share for the quarter, compared with analysts’ expectations for a loss of $0.02, as restructuring efforts under founder and CEO Kevin Plank helped offset declining demand in its core North American market.

Revenue fell 5% to $1.33 billion, slightly ahead of estimates, reflecting a 10% drop in North America, which remains Under Armour’s largest market. International revenue rose 3% to $577 million, providing a partial offset.

Footwear sales declined 12%, while apparel revenue fell 3%, underscoring continued pressure across key product categories. Wholesale revenue slipped 6%, while direct-to-consumer sales fell 4%, with e-commerce revenue down 7%.

Gross margin declined 310 basis points to 44.4%, largely due to higher tariffs, which the company said remain a significant headwind.

Despite the sales contraction, Under Armour doubled its adjusted earnings guidance for the year to between $0.10 and $0.11 per share and reiterated expectations for a roughly 4% decline in full-year revenue. The company forecast a full-year operating loss of about $154 million, but adjusted operating income of approximately $110 million.

For the quarter, Under Armour reported an operating loss of $150 million and a net loss of $431 million, which included a $247 million valuation allowance. On an adjusted basis, net income was $37 million.

Inventory fell 2% from a year earlier to $1.1 billion. The company ended the quarter with $465 million in cash and equivalents and said it had no borrowings under its $1.1 billion revolving credit facility.

Under Armour said its turnaround plan continues to prioritize profitability over growth, as it works through restructuring costs and persistent weakness in North America.

Shares of Under Armour added 2.4% in premarket trading Friday.

HOUSTON, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Nasdaq: PAA) and Plains GP Holdings (Nasdaq: PAGP) today reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, announced 2026 guidance and provided the following highlights:

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Results

Fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 Net income attributable to PAA of $342 million and $1.435 billion, respectively, and 2025 Net cash provided by operating activities of $785 million and $2.94 billion, respectivelyDelivered fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA of $738 million and $2.833 billion, respectivelyPro forma leverage ratio of 3.9x at year-end 2025; expect to return toward the midpoint of the target range of 3.25 to 3.75x following anticipated closing of the NGL divestiture toward the end of the first quarter 2026In November, Plains successfully raised $750 million in aggregate senior unsecured notes with proceeds allocated toward the reduction of commercial paper and funding the EPIC acquisition (now Cactus III)In November, Plains also paid off a $1.1 billion EPIC term loan assumed as part of the EPIC acquisition by issuing a $1.1 billion senior unsecured term loan at PAA 2026 Outlook and Key Highlights

Expect full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA midpoint of $2.75 billion +/- $75 million (assumes one quarter of NGL contribution of $100 million)Capture efficiency initiatives of approximately $100 million of cost savings through 2027 (with approximately half realized in 2026); coupled with $50 million of synergies expected on Cactus III, these initiatives create self-help growth opportunities despite expectation of a relatively flat Permian production profile for 2026Announced annualized distribution increase of $0.15 per unit payable February 13, 2026, representing a 10% aggregate increase in the annualized distribution rate versus 2025 levels (new annualized distribution rate of $1.67 per unit)Distribution Coverage ratio threshold lowered from 160% to 150% reflecting more predictable cash flow and providing multi-year runway for targeted annual distribution growth of $0.15 per unitExpect strong Adjusted Free Cash flow generation of approximately $1.80 billion (excluding changes in Assets & Liabilities and anticipated cash proceeds from the NGL divestiture)Remain focused on disciplined capital investments, anticipating full-year 2026 Growth Capital of +/- $350 million and Maintenance Capital of +/- $165 million net to Plains “Last year we took significant steps to transition the company toward becoming the premier North American pure play crude oil midstream provider, including the announced sale of our Canadian NGL business and the acquisition of Cactus III. For 2026, the team is focused on closing the pending NGL sale, realizing synergies on the Cactus III acquisition and driving efficiency initiatives throughout the organization. These self-help actions provide levers for efficient growth in an otherwise volatile near-term oil macro environment. We also remain committed to our multi-year capital allocation framework and returning cash to unitholders as evidenced by the recent $0.15 per unit increase in our annualized distribution rate, bringing the distribution yield to ~8.5%. In addition, we have elected to lower our Distribution Coverage ratio threshold from 160% to 150%, thereby paving the way for additional return of capital to unitholders. I’m pleased with the progress being made as we transition into a more focused, streamlined organization that should be well positioned for improving oil market fundamentals into the future,” said Willie Chiang, Chairman, CEO and President.

Financial Reporting Considerations for Pending Sale of Canadian NGL Business

On June 17, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of our NGL business in Canada (the “Canadian NGL Business”) to Keyera Corp. This transaction is expected to close toward the end of the first quarter of 2026 and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. While we will divest the Canadian NGL Business as part of the transaction, we will retain substantially all NGL assets in the United States and will also retain all crude oil assets in Canada.

We have determined that the operations of the Canadian NGL Business meet the criteria for classification as held for sale and for discontinued operations reporting and have applied these changes retrospectively to all periods presented. Results throughout this release specify if they are presented from continuing operations (which exclude the results of the Canadian NGL Business) and/or discontinued operations.

Fourth-quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA from Crude Oil increased 7% versus comparable 2024 results. Favorable results in the 2025 period from (i) contributions from recently completed bolt-on acquisitions, including our Cactus III pipeline acquisition, (ii) higher volumes on our pipelines and (iii) tariff escalations were offset by the impact of (iv) certain Permian long-haul pipeline contract rate resets and (v) lower commodity prices.

Fourth-quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA from NGL decreased 21% versus comparable 2024 results primarily due to lower sales volumes and lower weighted average frac spreads.

Plains GP Holdings

PAGP owns an indirect non-economic controlling interest in PAA’s general partner and an indirect limited partner interest in PAA. As the control entity of PAA, PAGP consolidates PAA’s results into its financial statements, which is reflected in the condensed consolidating balance sheet and income statement tables attached hereto.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Selected Items Impacting Comparability

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses additional measures known as “non-GAAP financial measures” in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future and to assess the amount of cash that is available for distributions, debt repayments, common equity repurchases and other general partnership purposes. The primary additional measures used by management are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied Distributable Cash Flow (“DCF”), Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions.

Our definition and calculation of certain non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied DCF and certain other non-GAAP financial performance measures are reconciled to Net Income, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions and certain other non-GAAP financial liquidity measures are reconciled to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities (the most directly comparable measures as reported in accordance with GAAP) for the historical periods presented in the tables attached to this release, and should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. In addition, we encourage you to visit the Investor Relations section of our website at www.plains.com (navigate to the “Financials” tab, then click on “Quarterly Results”), which presents a reconciliation of our commonly used non-GAAP and supplemental financial measures. We do not reconcile non-GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis as it is impractical to do so without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations and discontinued operations before (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax (expense)/benefit from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (iii) depreciation and amortization (including our proportionate share of depreciation and amortization, including write-downs related to cancelled projects and impairments, of unconsolidated entities) from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (iv) gains and losses on asset sales, asset impairments and other, net from continuing operations and discontinued operations, (v) gains on investments in unconsolidated entities, net and (vi) interest income on promissory notes by and among certain Plains entities, and (vii) adjusted for certain selected items impacting comparability. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA excludes the portion of Adjusted EBITDA that is attributable to noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA disaggregated by product (e.g., Adjusted EBITDA from Crude Oil and Adjusted EBITDA from NGL) excludes amounts related to Other income/(expense).

Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA and Implied DCF provides useful information to investors regarding our performance and results of operations because these measures, when used to supplement related GAAP financial measures, (i) provide additional information about our operating performance and ability to fund distributions to our unitholders through cash generated by our operations and (ii) provide investors with the same financial analytical framework upon which management bases financial, operational, compensation and planning/budgeting decisions. We also present these and additional non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income attributable to PAA and basic and diluted adjusted net income per common unit, as they are measures that investors, rating agencies and debt holders have indicated are useful in assessing us and our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial performance measures may exclude, for example, (i) charges for obligations that are expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, (ii) gains and losses on derivative instruments that are related to underlying activities in another period (or the reversal of such adjustments from a prior period), gains and losses on derivatives that are either related to investing activities (such as the purchase of linefill) or purchases of long-term inventory, and inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable, (iii) long-term inventory costing adjustments, (iv) items that are not indicative of our operating results and/or (v) other items that we believe should be excluded in understanding our operating performance. These measures may be further adjusted to include amounts related to deficiencies associated with minimum volume commitments whereby we have billed the counterparties for their deficiency obligation and such amounts are recognized as deferred revenue in “Other current liabilities” in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We also adjust for amounts billed by our equity method investees related to deficiencies under minimum volume commitments. Such amounts are presented net of applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue. Furthermore, the calculation of these measures contemplates tax effects as a separate reconciling item, where applicable. We have defined all such items as “selected items impacting comparability.” Due to the nature of the selected items, certain selected items impacting comparability may impact certain non-GAAP financial measures, referred to as adjusted results, but not impact other non-GAAP financial measures. We do not necessarily consider all of our selected items impacting comparability to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, but we believe that an understanding of these selected items impacting comparability is material to the evaluation of our operating results and prospects.

Although we present selected items impacting comparability that management considers in evaluating our performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented. Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates, mechanical interruptions, acquisitions, divestitures, investment capital projects and numerous other factors. These types of variations may not be separately identified in this release, but will be discussed, as applicable, in management’s discussion and analysis of operating results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Liquidity Measures

Management uses the non-GAAP financial liquidity measures Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions to assess the amount of cash that is available for distributions, debt repayments, common equity repurchases and other general partnership purposes. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, less Net Cash Provided by/(Used in) Investing Activities, which primarily includes acquisition, investment and maintenance capital expenditures, investments in unconsolidated entities and related party notes and the impact from the purchase and sale of linefill, net of proceeds from the sales of assets and further impacted by distributions to and contributions from noncontrolling interests and proceeds from the issuance of related party notes. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is further reduced by cash distributions paid to our preferred and common unitholders to arrive at Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions.

We also present these measures and additional non-GAAP financial liquidity measures as they are measures that investors have indicated are useful. We present Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) for use in assessing our underlying business liquidity and cash flow generating capacity excluding fluctuations caused by timing of when amounts earned or incurred were collected, received or paid from period to period. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow excluding the impact of “Changes in assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities) is further reduced by cash distributions paid to our preferred and common unitholders to arrive at Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Distributions (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Discontinued Operations

Management believes that the presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial performance measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA, Implied DCF, Adjusted Net Income attributable to PAA, Adjusted Net Income per Common Unit, Adjusted EBITDA from Crude Oil and Adjusted EBITDA from NGL, and certain Non-GAAP financial liquidity measures, such as Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Excluding Changes in Assets & Liabilities), on a consolidated basis (e.g., the aggregate of continuing operations and discontinued operations) provides more relevant and useful information regarding our performance and results of operations than presenting such metrics only on a continuing operations or discontinued operations basis. In addition, as the potential sale of the Canadian NGL Business is not anticipated to close until the end of the first quarter of 2026, management continues to view the Canadian NGL Business as a component of our overall company performance and ability to fund distributions to our unitholders in the near term.

(1)  We repurchased approximately 12.7 million Series A preferred units on January 31, 2025. The difference between the cash we paid for the repurchase of such units and their carrying value on our balance sheet is considered a return to Series A preferred unitholders for the calculation of net income from continuing operations allocated to common unitholders.
(2)  We calculate net income/(loss) from continuing operations allocated to common unitholders based on the distributions pertaining to the current period’s net income. After adjusting for the appropriate period’s distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, are allocated to common unitholders and participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of our partnership agreement in effect for the period and as further prescribed under the two-class method.
(3)  Net income from discontinued operations allocated to common unitholders is Income from discontinued operations, net of tax as presented on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(4)  The possible conversion of our Series A preferred units was excluded from the calculation of diluted net income/(loss) per common unit from continuing operations for each of the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 as the effect was antidilutive.
(5)  Our equity-indexed compensation plan awards that contemplate the issuance of common units are considered potentially dilutive unless (i) they become vested only upon the satisfaction of a performance condition and (ii) that performance condition has yet to be satisfied. Equity-indexed compensation plan awards that are deemed to be dilutive are reduced by a hypothetical common unit repurchase based on the remaining unamortized fair value, as prescribed by the treasury stock method in guidance issued by the FASB.

(1)  We calculate adjusted net income allocated to common unitholders based on the distributions pertaining to the current period’s net income. After adjusting for the appropriate period’s distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, are allocated to the common unitholders and participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of our partnership agreement in effect for the period and as further prescribed under the two-class method. 
(2)  Includes results from continuing operations and discontinued operations for all periods presented.
(3)  See the “Selected Items Impacting Comparability” table for additional information.
(4)  We repurchased approximately 12.7 million Series A preferred units on January 31, 2025. The difference between the cash we paid for the repurchase of such units and their carrying value on our balance sheet is considered a return to Series A preferred unitholders for the calculation of adjusted net income allocated to common unitholders.
(5)  The possible conversion of our Series A preferred units was excluded from the calculation of diluted adjusted net income per common unit for each of the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 as the effect was antidilutive.
(6)  Our equity-indexed compensation plan awards that contemplate the issuance of common units are considered potentially dilutive unless (i) they become vested only upon the satisfaction of a performance condition and (ii) that performance condition has yet to be satisfied. Equity-indexed compensation plan awards that are deemed to be dilutive are reduced by a hypothetical common unit repurchase based on the remaining unamortized fair value, as prescribed by the treasury stock method in guidance issued by the FASB.

(1)  Certain of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be impacted by each of the selected items impacting comparability. See the “Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to PAA and Implied DCF Reconciliation” and “Computation of Basic and Diluted Adjusted Net Income Per Common Unit” tables for additional details on how these selected items impacting comparability affect such measures.
(2)  Includes results from continuing operations and discontinued operations for all periods presented.
(3)  We use derivative instruments for risk management purposes and our related processes include specific identification of hedging instruments to an underlying hedged transaction. Although we identify an underlying transaction for each derivative instrument we enter into, there may not be an accounting hedge relationship between the instrument and the underlying transaction. In the course of evaluating our results, we identify differences in the timing of earnings from the derivative instruments and the underlying transactions and exclude the related gains and losses in determining adjusted results such that the earnings from the derivative instruments and the underlying transactions impact adjusted results in the same period. In addition, we exclude gains and losses on derivatives that are related to (i) investing activities, such as the purchase of linefill, and (ii) purchases of long-term inventory. We also exclude the impact of corresponding inventory valuation adjustments, as applicable.
(4)  We carry crude oil and NGL inventory that is comprised of minimum working inventory requirements in third-party assets and other working inventory that is needed for our commercial operations. We consider this inventory necessary to conduct our operations and we intend to carry this inventory for the foreseeable future. Therefore, we classify this inventory as long-term on our balance sheet and do not hedge the inventory with derivative instruments (similar to linefill in our own assets). We treat the impact of changes in the average cost of the long-term inventory (that result from fluctuations in market prices) and write-downs of such inventory that result from price declines as a selected item impacting comparability.
(5)  We, and certain of our equity method investees, have certain agreements that require counterparties to deliver, transport or throughput a minimum volume over an agreed upon period. Substantially all of such agreements were entered into with counterparties to economically support the return on capital expenditure necessary to construct the related asset. Some of these agreements include make-up rights if the minimum volume is not met. We record a receivable from the counterparty in the period that services are provided or when the transaction occurs, including amounts for deficiency obligations from counterparties associated with minimum volume commitments. If a counterparty has a make-up right associated with a deficiency, we defer the revenue attributable to the counterparty’s make-up right and subsequently recognize the revenue at the earlier of when the deficiency volume is delivered or shipped, when the make-up right expires or when it is determined that the counterparty’s ability to utilize the make-up right is remote. We include the impact of amounts billed to counterparties for their deficiency obligation, net of applicable amounts subsequently recognized into revenue or equity earnings, as a selected item impacting comparability. We believe the inclusion of the contractually committed revenues associated with that period is meaningful to investors as the related asset has been constructed, is standing ready to provide the committed service and the fixed operating costs are included in the current period results.
(6)  Depreciation and amortization on the long-lived assets of the Canadian NGL Business disposal group ceased upon meeting the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Implied DCF on a consolidated basis (e.g., the aggregate of continuing operations and discontinued operations) provides more relevant and useful information regarding our performance and results of operations than presenting such metrics only on a continuing operations or discontinued operations basis. We therefore include an adjustment for the impact of amortization of the rail fleet associated with the Canadian NGL Business.
(7)  Our total equity-indexed compensation expense includes expense associated with awards that will be settled in units and awards that will be settled in cash. The awards that will be settled in units are included in our diluted net income per unit calculation when the applicable performance criteria have been met. We consider the compensation expense associated with these awards as a selected item impacting comparability as the dilutive impact of the outstanding awards is included in our diluted net income per unit calculation, as applicable. The portion of compensation expense associated with awards that will be settled in cash is not considered a selected item impacting comparability.
(8)  During the periods presented, there were fluctuations in the value of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar, resulting in the realization of foreign exchange gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions as well as the revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. The associated gains and losses are not integral to our results and were thus classified as a selected item impacting comparability.
(9)  Includes costs recognized during the period related to the Line 901 incident that occurred in May 2015, net of amounts we believe are probable of recovery from insurance. For the 2024 periods, includes the write-off of a receivable for Line 901 insurance proceeds in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the impact of settlements in the third quarter of 2024.
(10)  Primarily related to deal-specific costs incurred during the period.
(11)  For the 2024 periods, primarily includes non-cash charges related to the write-down of two U.S. NGL terminals.

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this release consist of forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from results or outcomes anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the following:

risks related to the Canadian NGL Business divestiture (as defined herein), including the risk that the Canadian NGL Business divestiture is not consummated on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule, or at all, and the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Canadian NGL Business divestiture on our business relationships, operating results, employees, stakeholders and business generally;general economic, market or business conditions in the United States and elsewhere (including the potential for a recession or significant slowdown in economic activity levels, the risk of persistently high inflation and supply chain issues, the impact of global public health events, such as pandemics, on demand and growth, and the timing, pace and extent of economic recovery) that impact (i) demand for crude oil, drilling and production activities and therefore the demand for the midstream services we provide and (ii) commercial opportunities available to us;declines in global crude oil demand and/or crude oil prices or other factors that correspondingly lead to a significant reduction of North American crude oil and NGL production (whether due to reduced producer cash flow to fund drilling activities or the inability of producers to access capital, or both, the unavailability of pipeline and/or storage capacity, the shutting-in of production by producers, government-mandated pro-ration orders, or other factors), which in turn could result in significant declines in the actual or expected volume of crude oil and NGL shipped, processed, purchased, stored, fractionated and/or gathered at or through the use of our assets and/or the reduction of the margins we can earn or the commercial opportunities that might otherwise be available to us;fluctuations in refinery capacity and other factors affecting demand for various grades of crude oil and NGL and resulting changes in pricing conditions or transportation throughput requirements;unanticipated changes in crude oil and NGL market structure, grade differentials and volatility (or lack thereof);the effects of competition and capacity overbuild in areas where we operate, including downward pressure on rates, volumes and margins, contract renewal risk and the risk of loss of business to other midstream operators who are willing or under pressure to aggressively reduce transportation rates in order to capture or preserve customers;the availability of, and our ability to consummate, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures or other strategic opportunities and realize benefits therefrom, including the Canadian NGL Business divestiture (as defined herein);the successful operation of joint ventures and joint operating arrangements we enter into from time to time, whether relating to assets operated by us or by third parties, and the successful integration and future performance of acquired assets or businesses;environmental liabilities, litigation or other events that are not covered by an indemnity, insurance or existing reserves;negative societal sentiment regarding the hydrocarbon energy industry and the continued development and consumption of hydrocarbons, which could influence consumer preferences and governmental or regulatory actions that adversely impact our business;the occurrence of a natural disaster, catastrophe, terrorist attack (including eco-terrorist attacks) or other event that materially impacts our operations, including cyber or other attacks on our or our service providers’ electronic and computer systems;weather interference with business operations or project construction, including the impact of extreme weather events or conditions (including hurricanes, floods, wildfires and drought);the impact of current and future laws, rulings, legislation, governmental regulations, executive orders, trade policies, trade tariffs, accounting standards and statements, and related interpretations that (i) prohibit, restrict or regulate the development of oil and gas resources and the related infrastructure on lands dedicated to or served by our pipelines or (ii) negatively impact our ability to develop, operate or repair midstream assets, or (iii) otherwise negatively impact our business or increase our exposure to risk;negative impacts on production levels in the Permian Basin or elsewhere due to issues associated with (or laws, rules or regulations relating to) hydraulic fracturing and related activities (including wastewater injection or disposal), including earthquakes, subsidence, expansion or other issues;the pace of development of natural gas or other infrastructure and its impact on expected crude oil production growth in the Permian Basin;the refusal or inability of our customers or counterparties to perform their obligations under their contracts with us (including commercial contracts, asset sale agreements and other agreements), whether justified or not and whether due to financial constraints (such as reduced creditworthiness, liquidity issues or insolvency), market constraints, legal constraints (including governmental orders or guidance), the exercise of contractual or common law rights that allegedly excuse their performance (such as force majeure or similar claims) or other factors;loss of key personnel and inability to attract and retain new talent;disruptions to futures markets for crude oil, NGL and other petroleum products, which may impair our ability to execute our commercial or hedging strategies;the effectiveness of our risk management activities;shortages or cost increases of supplies, materials or labor;maintenance of our credit ratings and ability to receive open credit from our suppliers and trade counterparties;our inability to perform our obligations under our contracts, whether due to non-performance by third parties, including our customers or counterparties, market constraints, third-party constraints, supply chain issues, legal constraints (including governmental orders or guidance), or other factors or events;the incurrence of costs and expenses related to unexpected or unplanned capital or maintenance expenditures, third-party claims or other factors;failure to implement or capitalize, or delays in implementing or capitalizing, on investment capital projects, whether due to permitting delays, permitting withdrawals or other factors;tightened capital markets or other factors that increase our cost of capital or limit our ability to obtain debt or equity financing on satisfactory terms to fund additional acquisitions, investment capital projects, working capital requirements and the repayment or refinancing of indebtedness;the amplification of other risks caused by volatile or closed financial markets, capital constraints, liquidity concerns and inflation;the use or availability of third-party assets upon which our operations depend and over which we have little or no control;the currency exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the United States dollar;the deferral of current revenue recognition attributable to deficiency payments received from customers who fail to ship or move their minimum contracted volumes;significant under-utilization of our assets and facilities;increased costs, or lack of availability, of insurance;fluctuations in the debt and equity markets, including the price of our units at the time of vesting under our long-term incentive plans;risks related to the development and operation of our assets; andother factors and uncertainties inherent in the transportation, storage, terminalling and marketing of crude oil, as well as in the processing, transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing of NGL as discussed in the Partnerships’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
