Presentation

Christian Kullmann
CEO & Chairman of the Executive Board

Thanks a lot, and thanks, everybody, for joining our call today on such short notice. We have quite some news for you this afternoon and expect quite a few questions from you. So having said this, let's get right into it.

To start, I would like to highlight 3 points. First, we've achieved our revised outlook for 2025. It was a tough finish in the last quarter, but we made it. Our EBITDA in the fourth quarter was solid enough to reach around EUR 1.9 billion for the full year, and our cash generation was more than just solid. We delivered almost EUR 700 million of free cash flow, resulting in a 37% cash conversion rate, making the upper half of our guidance corridor. This demonstrates once more no matter what the environment, we deliver on cash. Last year was not a great year for sure. But given the environment, I would say we came away with a black eye. So having said so, let's look ahead from there.

And second, for 2026, we aim for broadly stable earnings at the midpoint of our guidance range in an environment which remains tough. And with normalizing methionine prices, delivering stable earnings, I guess, is a good thing. Claus will elaborate further on this in a second. And third, the consistent execution of our strategy is in this environment where challenges are everywhere as crucial

Why Did IonQ Stock Skyrocket on Friday? stocknewsapi
IONQ
IonQ investors were happy to see the quantum company's stock recover along with the market.

Shares of IonQ Inc (IONQ +15.18%) jumped on Friday, finishing the day up 15%.

The quantum computing stock's surge wasn't driven by company-specific developments. Instead, IonQ shares rode a broader tech rally after a punishing week for the sector.

Tech rallies after a major sell-off The Nasdaq Composite had dropped 4.5% over the prior four trading sessions as investors fled tech stocks amid fresh concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) spending sustainability. That reversed course today as investors jumped back in, and the tech-heavy index finished the day up 2.1%.

Image source: Getty Images.

Recent earnings from big tech have renewed AI bubble fears, revealing capital expenditures accelerating to unprecedented levels. Alphabet and Amazon announced they could spend up to $185 billion and $200 billion in capex, respectively, this year. Meta and Microsoft both upped their forecasts considerably, with 2026 targets that nearly double their spends from last year.

Should you buy IonQ? IonQ has a market capitalization of nearly $13 billion. Its revenue over the last twelve months is $80 million. That's a pretty serious valuation disconnect, and one I am not comfortable with. I think shares of IonQ, along with shares of its quantum pure-play peers, are massively overpriced.

PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--B&G Foods, Inc. (NYSE: BGS) today explained the tax treatment for dividends paid in 2025 on the Company’s common stock. Holders are urged to check their 2025 tax statements received from brokerage firms to ensure that the cash distribution information reported on such statements conforms to the information reported herein.

In 2025, B&G Foods distributed $0.76000 per share of common stock (CUSIP # 05508R 10 6).

Could Buying Rivian Stock Today Set You Up for Life?​ stocknewsapi
RIVN
With Rivian set to start releasing its R2 vehicles this year, is the stock a great buy right now?

Rivian Automotive (RIVN +7.79%) hit the market with its initial public offering (IPO) and saw massive gains shortly after its debut. The company's share price hit its all-time high of roughly $172 per share less than a week after going public, but it's seen big pullback since hitting that valuation peak.

As of this writing, Rivian is trading at roughly $14 per share -- down approximately 92% from its high. Could buying into the beaten-down electric vehicle (EV) specialist deliver life-changing returns for patient investors?

Image source: Rivian.

Putting Rivian's big valuation decline in context Rivian went public in an environment that was highly favorable to speculative growth stocks. Interest rates were at historical lows in response to conditions created by the COVID-19 pandemic, and many investors were willing to pay high valuation premiums to own stakes in potentially explosive EV stocks. The industry and market conditions have changed significantly since the company's IPO.

Today's Change

(

7.79

%) $

1.07

Current Price

$

14.80

The EV market is growing at a much slower rate compared to 2021, and government subsidies supporting the industry have expired. In many geographic markets, EV automakers are also facing rising competition from lower-priced Chinese alternatives.

In addition to these unfavorable dynamics, Rivian's production and delivery scaling has proceeded at a much slower pace than many investors had hoped. The company delivered fewer vehicles in 2025 than it did in both 2024 and 2023, and it has yet to notch quarterly deliveries above the 15,564 that it recorded in Q3 2023. The EV specialist has also continued to issue new shares in order to help fund its operations, which has had a dilutive impact for shareholders.

Could Rivian stock set you up for life? Rivian is on track to release the first vehicles in its new R2 platform this year, and the launch of the new EVs is poised to be an important catalyst for the company. With the release of its lower-cost R2 vehicles, Rivian will likely see a major increase in vehicle production and deliveries and see sales growth accelerate above recent levels that already looked encouraging.

Sales increased 78% year over year to reach $1.56 billion in last year's third quarter. Meanwhile, the business posted a net loss of roughly $1.1 billion and a gross profit of $24 million. For reference, the company closed out the quarter with cash and short-term investments totaling approximately $7.1 billion.

The EV upstart is burning through cash at a rapid rate, and it will likely continue issuing new shares as it records large losses. While the rollout of the company's R2 platform vehicles should lead to an acceleration of production and deliveries, the business only recently hit what's effectively a breakeven gross margin despite a sizable revenue contribution from higher-margin software-and-services offerings.

Gross margins on each vehicle sold remain in the red, and the launch of the lower-cost R2 vehicles may not be the positive margin catalyst that investors are hoping for over the next year. So while Rivian could go on to be a big winner at current prices, I wouldn't bet on the stock to set you up for life.

BP has no plans to honor the national oil bargaining agreement, union says stocknewsapi

CompaniesNEW YORK, Feb 6 (Reuters) - The union representing hundreds of workers at BP's Whiting refinery, the largest refinery in the Midwest, said on Friday the British oil major does not intend to honor the national oil bargaining agreement.

This comes after the United Steelworkers union adopted a national agreement negotiated with Marathon Petroleum (MPC.N), opens new tab for use in contracts between 30,000 oil industry workers and their refineries and chemical plants.

Jumpstart your morning with the latest legal news delivered straight to your inbox from The Daily Docket newsletter. Sign up here.

The Steelworkers union represents about 800 workers at the Whiting refinery that produces key transportation fuels including gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel.

“BP maintains they have no plans to honor the National Oil Bargaining Program – the first time that has happened," Eric Schultz, president of USW 7-1, said in an emailed statement.

"We’ve spent most of our negotiations discussing BP’s concessionary proposals that would eliminate local jobs, reduce pay across the board and strip us of bargaining rights,” Schultz said. "We will continue to negotiate in good faith."

Local Steelworkers leadership asked workers at BP's Whiting refinery to prepare for a strike or lockout on Thursday after weeks of negotiations with the British oil major that did not yield results.

The previous three-year collective bargaining agreement expired on January 31.

"Regardless of what was agreed upon at the national level between Marathon and the international USW, the Whiting Refinery is, in no way, obligated to follow the 'pattern,'" a BP spokesperson said. "We will continue to bargain in the best interests of our employees, our company, and the community."

Mustang Energy Corp. Recaps Milestones and Strategic Progress in 2025 stocknewsapi
MECPF
February 06, 2026 17:35 ET  | Source: Mustang Energy Corp.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (“Mustang” or the “Company”) (CSE: MEC, OTC: MECPF, FRA: 92T) is pleased to provide a comprehensive recap of its key corporate, exploration, and financing achievements throughout 2025, underscoring the Company’s continued advancement as a uranium and critical mineral exploration company in Canada.

Exploration Advancement and Field Programs

Mustang executed an active and disciplined exploration program across several core project areas during 2025:

Surprise Creek Uranium-Copper Project (Saskatchewan)

The Company initiated its maiden diamond drilling campaign targeting priority geophysical and structural targets along the Surprise Creek Fault and the Bob Lake Copper showing. This marked a major operational milestone and represented the first drill testing of high-priority zones identified through earlier geophysical surveys and geological interpretation.

Cluff Lake Area Properties (Saskatchewan)

Following the acquisition of the Cluff Lake area properties, the Company completed a field prospecting and reconnaissance program designed to evaluate priority target areas and refine the geological understanding of the project. The program included mapping, sampling, and target verification work, establishing a foundation for future, more advanced exploration activities.

Regional Fieldwork

Ground-based exploration programs were conducted across Mustang’s broader project portfolio, including geological mapping, prospecting, sampling, and geophysical surveys. These programs refined drill targeting and enhanced the Company’s understanding of structural controls and alteration systems associated with uranium and critical mineral mineralization.

914W Uranium Project (Saskatchewan)

Mustang secured key exploration permits from the Government of Saskatchewan, authorizing expanded ground exploration and drilling activities. This permitting milestone positions the project for more advanced work programs moving forward.

Portfolio Expansion and Strategic Property Acquisitions

During 2025, Mustang strengthened and expanded its project portfolio through strategic acquisitions and staking initiatives:

The Company acquired the Surprise Creek Uranium-Copper Project in Saskatchewan, securing a prospective asset within a structurally favorable corridor and advancing it to the drill stage during the year.Mustang also acquired the Cluff Lake area properties, increasing its presence in the western Athabasca Basin near historically significant uranium-producing districts and enhancing its exposure to underexplored, high-potential ground.The Company staked the Onyx Uranium Project and the Bridal Veil Copper-Silver Project in Newfoundland and Labrador, broadening its exposure to prospective uranium and critical mineral terrains.The Company completed the acquisitions of the Nucleus Property and the Yellowstone Property, further expanding its pipeline of prospective uranium exploration assets and reinforcing its strategy of consolidating ground in favorable geological settings.In collaboration with Skyharbour Resources Ltd., Mustang staked an additional claim at the 914W Uranium Project, increasing the project’s footprint within a highly prospective uranium district.
These additions reflect Mustang’s strategy of consolidating prospective ground in established uranium jurisdictions while building a diversified pipeline of discovery opportunities.

Strategic Financing and Capital Raised

Throughout 2025, Mustang successfully completed multiple financing initiatives to support exploration and corporate development. The Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.58 million through a series of non-brokered private placements completed during the year. Proceeds were directed toward exploration expenditures, project advancement, and general working capital.

Investor Engagement and Market Presence

Mustang continued to build market awareness through proactive investor communications, media features, and participation in industry forums. These initiatives supported increased visibility of the Company’s exploration strategy and long-term growth objectives.

Outlook for 2026

As Mustang enters 2026, the Company plans to advance its high-priority properties and exploration targets through additional field work, including expanded drilling programs. The Company anticipates that work will focus on follow-up drilling at key target areas, further geophysical surveys, geological modeling, and continued target generation across the portfolio.

Consulting Agreements

The Company is also pleased to announce that, on February 4, 2026, it entered into separate consulting agreements (the “Consulting Agreements”) with three arm’s-length parties. Each Consulting Agreement will remain in effect until terminated by either party in accordance with its terms. Under the Consulting Agreements, the consultants will provide corporate advisory services, including market research, strategic advice regarding potential mergers and acquisitions, and assistance with general business development. As consideration for the Consulting Agreements, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,000,000 restricted share units (the “RSUs”) of the Company to the consultants, which vested immediately. Upon vesting, each RSU is redeemable for one common share in the Capital of the Company.

Income Statement Highlights

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net interest income totaled $15.7 million, representing an increase of $1.2 million, or 8.1%, from $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The results for the year ended December 31, 2024 include the recognition of an interest recovery totaling $1.3 million for a prior nonperforming loan.

Total interest income increased $611 thousand, or 2.4%, to $26.1 million for the year ended 2025, compared to $25.5 million for the year ended 2024. The increase in total interest income was attributed to higher interest and fees on loans which totaled $22.4 million as of December 31, 2025, representing an increase of $862 thousand, when compared to $21.5 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in interest and fees on loans was primarily attributed to higher average loans balances from organic growth and increased yields on loans resulting from new loan originations and continued repricing of the adjustable rate loan portfolio.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, total interest expense was $10.4 million, representing a decrease of $566 thousand, or 5.2%, when compared to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This change as primarily attributed to the lower average balance of borrowings and declining interest rates on interest bearing deposits.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the net interest margin was 2.98%, representing an expansion of 14 basis points when compared to 2.84% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The improvement in the net interest margin was primarily related to the increase in yields and higher average balances of interest earning assets combined with lower borrowings and declining interest rates on interest bearing deposits, both of which resulted in lower cost of funds.

Noninterest income totaled $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was in part due to the recognition of realized net losses on the sale of available for sale securities of $214 thousand during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Noninterest expense totaled $12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $11.5 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily attributed to salaries and employee benefits from increased staffing levels and wages.

When comparing the fourth quarter of 2025 to the fourth quarter of 2024, net interest income increased $797 thousand, or 22.7%, to $4.3 million from $3.5 million. Total interest income increased $426 thousand and total interest expense declined $371 thousand. The increase in total interest income was attributed to an increase in interest and fees on loans of $575 thousand, offset in part by a decline in interest on investment securities of $49 thousand and a decline in other interest and dividend income of $100 thousand. The decline in interest expense was attributed to lower costs on interest bearing deposits of $274 thousand and a decline of $97 thousand in interest expense on borrowings.

Noninterest income totaled $633 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $374 thousand for the same period in 2024. This increase was attributed to the recognition of $214 thousand in realized net losses on the sale of available for sale securities in 2024. Noninterest expense totaled $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily related to salaries and employee benefits.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of December 31, 2025, total assets increased $25.3 million, or 4.7%, to $562.2 million, compared to total assets of $536.9 million as of December 31, 2024.

Loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, increased $23.6 million, or 6.2%, to $401.8 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $378.2 million as of December 31, 2024. The growth in the loan portfolio was attributed to an increase of $20.0 million, or 7.0%, in loans secured by residential real estate and an increase of $3.2 million, or 3.8%, in loans secured by commercial real estate. The composition of the loan portfolio is predominately 1-4 family residential real estate loans and commercial real estate loans, with total loans secured by real estate representing 97.7% of loans, net of the allowances for credit losses, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Investment securities, excluding restricted securities, were $104.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and $107.0 million as of December 31, 2024. Investment securities decreased $2.7 million, or 2.5%, primarily due to principal repayments and maturities totaling $8.0 million, offset in part by a decrease in the investment portfolio’s unrealized losses on available for sale securities totaling $3.0 million and security purchases net of sales totaling $2.0 million.

Deposits totaled $518.9 million on December 31, 2025, representing an increase of $24.2 million, or 4.9%, when compared to $494.7 million on December 31, 2024. The composition of the deposits changed slightly with noninterest bearing deposit balances representing 25.2% of total deposits as of December 31, 2025, compared to 23.9% of total deposits as of December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2025, noninterest bearing deposit balances increased $12.6 million and interest bearing deposit balances increased $11.6 million, when compared to December 31, 2024.

Borrowings totaled $2.1 million at December 31, 2025, representing a decline of $5.9 million, or 73.7%, from $7.9 million on December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2025, total liquidity sources exceeded approximately $300 million and included on and off-balance sheet liquidity through cash and cash equivalents, unpledged available for sale securities at fair value, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve borrowing capacities, and unsecured correspondent bank lines of credit.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $36.8 million on December 31, 2025, representing an increase of $6.8 million, or 22.3%, when compared to $30.0 million on December 31, 2024. Book value per share increased to $142.76 on December 31, 2025 from $116.68 on December 31, 2024. The increase in shareholders’ equity was attributed to net income of $4.2 million and a decline in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $3.2 million. The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss was primarily attributed to a reduction in unrealized losses on the available for sale securities portfolio of $2.2 million and amortization of unrealized holding losses on the held to maturity securities portfolio totaling $498 thousand. The Company declared and paid cash dividends totaling $2.60 per share in 2025, compared to $2.40 per share in 2024.

The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios remain in excess of applicable regulatory requirements for well-capitalized institutions. The Tier 1 leverage ratio improved 6.6% to 8.12% at December 31, 2025 from 7.62% at December 31, 2024. Tier 1 capital, common equity Tier 1 capital and risk-based capital ratios were 12.66%, 12.66% and 13.91%, respectively, at December 31, 2025, representing no change when compared to December 31, 2024. Management maintains regular monitoring of capital management and planning strategies to support and maintain adequate capital levels.

Asset quality remains strong with historically low levels of nonperforming assets defined as loans 90 days or more delinquent, nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned. As of December 31, 2025, nonperforming assets increased slightly with nonaccruals totaling $287 thousand, or 0.07% of total loans, compared to nonaccruals totaling $47 thousand, or 0.01% of total loans on December 31, 2024. There were no loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest and no other real estate owned at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing interest totaled $136 thousand, or 0.03% of total loans, representing a slight change from $134 thousand, or 0.04% of total loans, on December 31, 2024.

Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $153 thousand and $383 thousand for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to $62 thousand and $70 thousand for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

For the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, the Bank experienced net charge offs totaling $16 thousand and $88 thousand, respectively, compared to no net charges offs for the fourth quarter 2024 and net recoveries of $237 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024.

NEW YORK, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

What’s Happening:

Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized shareholder rights law firm, is investigating potential claims against Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:HUT) on behalf of long-term stockholders following a class action complaint that was filed against Hut 8 on February 7, 2024 with a Class Period from November 9, 2023 to January 18, 2024. Our investigation concerns whether the board of directors of Hut 8 have breached their fiduciary duties to the company.
Details:

In November 2023, Hut 8 formed following the merger of Hut 8 Mining Corp. (“Legacy Hut”) and U.S. Data Mining Group, Inc. d/b/a US Bitcoin Corp. (“USBTC”) (the “Merger”). USBTC held a 50% interest in a joint venture bitcoin mining facility, located in King Mountain, Texas (the “King Mountain JV”), which was acquired in the Merger.
On January 18, 2024, at approximately 10:30 AM EST, J Capital Research published a report which alleged, inter alia, that Hut 8’s merger with USBTC was premised on a number of alleged misstatements, including (1) that the USBTC had an “undisclosed related party” as one of its largest shareholders, (2) that one of USBTC’s core assets, the King Mountain JV, “has historically failed to provide energy and high-speed internet,” and (3) that the Company had misstated certain finances of the King Mountain JV by failing to account for certain interest expenses. Citing individuals “highly familiar” with USBTC, the report stated that, without the Merger, USBTC would have undergone bankruptcy and that USBTC had a value estimated to be 70% less than the approximately $745 million that Hut 8 paid to acquire it.
On this news, Hut 8’s stock price fell $2.16, or 23.3%, to close at $7.12 per share on January 18, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume.
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) that one of USBTC’s largest shareholders is an undisclosed related party; (2) that USBTC’s core asset has historically failed to provide energy and high-speed internet; (3) that the profitability of certain USBTC assets were overstated; and (4) 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.
Next Steps:

If you are a long-term stockholder of Hut 8, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Brandon Walker or Melissa Fortunato by email at [email protected], by telephone at (212) 355-4648, or by filling out this contact form.

Ceyda Akinc

Hello everyone, and thank you for joining us. We are excited to be with you on another earnings call. Before getting into our financial performance details, let's as usual, go over the broader macroeconomic environment. Turkish economy grew by 1% Q-on-Q in the third quarter and for the fourth quarter, we now cast a slightly positive quarterly growth. Therefore, parallel to our previous expectations, we maintain our GDP forecasts as 3.7% in '25 and 4% in '26, consistent with the still-resilient activity outlook.

In terms of inflation and monetary policy, seasonally adjusted inflation improved into year-end, however, January CPI figure reinforces our view that the pace of monetary easing will become increasingly data-dependent and points to a slower pace of rate cuts compared to consensus. In this regard, we maintain our call of 25% inflation and 32% policy rate for 2026-year-end.

In terms of current account deficit, it remains broadly manageable, although the trend has deteriorated, reflecting domestic demand

IEH Corporation Filed Form 10-Q for Fiscal Quarter Ended December 31, 2025 stocknewsapi
IEHC
BROOKLYN, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 6, 2026 / IEH Corporation (OTC:IEHC) today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the 3rd fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Highlights include:

3.9% Increase in Revenue as compared to third quarter of Fiscal Year 2025

$723,444 loss in Q3 Operating Income, primarily due to cost of gold and tariff charges

Cash remains unchanged compared to third quarter of Fiscal Year 2025

Five-year high in backlog, primarily due to orders in support of missile defense programs

SEC dismissal of its administrative proceeding against IEH, which should enable uplisting in OTC marketplace

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, IEH had revenues of $7,497,879 as compared to $7,217,616 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, reflecting a 3.9% increase; an operating loss of $723,444 for 3rd quarter fiscal year 2026 as compared to an operating loss of $130,086 for 3rd quarter fiscal year 2025; a net loss of $660,286 for 3rd quarter fiscal year 2026 as compared to a net loss of $61,640 for 3rd quarter fiscal year 2025; and a basic loss per share of $.27 for 3rd quarter fiscal year 2026 as compared to a basic loss per share of $.03 for 3rd quarter fiscal year 2025.

Dave Offerman, President and CEO of IEH Corporation, commented, "The relentless, steep rise in gold over the past two years, along with tariffs and other rising costs, continue to pressure our margins. While we continue to aggressively and strategically raise prices, we are still playing "catch-up" to these increases. In 2025, gold experienced its highest annual increase in 46 years, and most forecasts predict this rise to continue in 2026. To hedge against these increases, we have been more strategic in the timing and volume of our gold purchases, in an effort to mitigate these historic trends.

In tandem with these efforts, we are investing in infrastructure and capacity which will allow us to reduce costs through production efficiencies, and less reliance on outside, often overseas suppliers. We expect the cost savings from these investments to manifest in our next fiscal year.

Fortunately, our outlook for the next fiscal year and beyond remains very positive. Demand for the parts we supply in support of missile defense and related military programs continues to rise, and global defense spending is expected to sharply increase over the next several years, which bodes very well for IEH. This has led to our highest backlog since December 2020, and with a very strong sales pipeline, we expect this growth to continue. It is also worth noting that much of this business is sole-source and thus highly profitable, which should go a long way toward improving our margins. At the same time, we are starting to see more business for the commercial aerospace platforms we support, in particular the Boeing 737Max, and with recent news that the FAA has allowed Boeing to increase output on that jet, we expect that growth to accelerate in the coming months. We continue to win new designs in commercial space applications, and with an enhanced sales presence overseas, uncover new opportunities in foreign markets.

We also continue to actively pursue acquisition opportunities, for the purpose of diversifying both our product offerings, as well as our markets served. I look forward to sharing more details on those efforts as they progress.

Finally, as noted in our January 15th press release, the SEC finally dismissed their administrative proceeding against IEH, for the late filings of 2021-2023. With this matter firmly behind us, we are in the process of applying to uplist our stock to a platform that allows for greater liquidity, shareholder visibility and investment opportunities.

On behalf of the management team and staff of IEH, we again wish to express our sincere gratitude for the support of our valued shareholders."

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Certain statements contained in this press release, and in related comments by the Company's management, include "forward-looking statements." All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including, without limitation, statements or expectations regarding our financial condition, statements or expectations regarding our revenues, cash and backlog, expectations regarding future cash requirements, revenue and revenue recovery, including for fiscal year 2026 and beyond, projected timelines for making our SEC filings or successfully preventing our registration from suspension or revocation and expectations regarding our efforts and ability to resolve our inventory accounting issues are forward-looking statements. These statements often include words such as "believe," "expect," "estimate," "plan," "will," "may," "would," "should," "could," or similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These statements are based on certain assumptions that the Company has made on its current expectations and projections about future events. The Company believes these judgments are reasonable, but you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. The Company's actual performance or results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative, as they will depend on many factors about which we are unsure, including many factors beyond our control. Among other items, such factors could include: any claims, investigations or proceedings arising as a result of our past due periodic reports, including changes in the proceedings related to the SEC's Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings and Notice of Hearing pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; our ability to remediate our inventory accounting issue; our ability to reduce costs or increase revenue; changes in the macroeconomic environment or in the finances of our customers; changes in accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and our ability to make accurate estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates; our ability to attract and retain key employees and key resources; and other risk factors discussed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including those factors discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on June 12, 2025, and in subsequent reports filed with or furnished to the SEC. Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in our filings with the SEC. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. Except as may be required by applicable law, we do not undertake or intend to update or revise our forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this press release as a result of new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. You should carefully review and consider the various disclosures we make in our filings with the SEC that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect our business.

INVESTOR ALERT: CoreWeave, Inc. Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Class Action Lawsuit stocknewsapi
CRWV
, /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV) securities between March 28, 2025 and December 15, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), have until Friday, March 13, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the CoreWeave class action lawsuit.  Captioned Masaitis v. CoreWeave, Inc., No. 26-cv-00355 (D.N.J.), the CoreWeave class action lawsuit charges CoreWeave as well as certain of CoreWeave's top executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the CoreWeave class action lawsuit, please provide your information here:

https://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases-coreweave-inc-class-action-lawsuit-crwv.html

You can also contact attorney J.C. Sanchez of Robbins Geller by calling 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at [email protected].

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.

SOLOWIN HOLDINGS Collaborates with Alibaba Taobao Shangou and Hangzhou Bossen to Advance Inclusive Carbon Reduction via Blockchain stocknewsapi
AXG
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.”

About TAOBAO SHANGOU

Founded in 2008, Taobao Shangou (formerly Ele.me) is a leading local lifestyle platform in China under Alibaba Group. The platform is committed to providing “worry-free and on-time delivery” home services and advancing the digitalization of the local lifestyle market through technological innovation.

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.

To learn more about the Hub Group investigation, go to www.faruqilaw.com/HUBG or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

PSFE CLASS ACTION NOTICE: Glancy Prongay Wolke & Rotter LLP Files Securities Fraud Lawsuit On Behalf Of Paysafe Limited Investors stocknewsapi
PSFE
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”).

Investors are hereby notified that they have 60 days from the date of this notice to move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff in this action.

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.

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the investor call. Following the announcement this morning of the 2025 annual results of Lotus Bakeries. I'm Jan Boone, and joining me today is our CFO, Mike Cuvelier; and we are both here in Lembeke. We will start with the presentation providing an overview of the performance and also the milestones of '25 and later on, deep dive into the financials.

First slide, I'm proud to report another year of strong and double-digit top line growth. The reported sales in '25 amounted to EUR 1.35 billion, and that represents an increase of 10%. This evolution is driven by continued strong volume growth in the second semester for both Lotus Biscoff and Lotus Natural Foods.

At constant currencies, growth was even stronger, given the negative currency evolutions of the dollar and the pound in the second half of the year. Profitability improved further with underlying EBITDA on sales exceeding 20%, and this is an increase of 12% compared to the prior year. Also, the net profit increased and the net profit increased with 13%. The strong reduction of net financial debt led to a historic low multiple of

Tech AI spending may approach $700 billion this year, but the blow to cash raises red flags stocknewsapi
AMZN GOOGL META MSFT
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."

— CNBC's Deirdre Bosa, Jordan Novet, Annie Palmer and Jonathan Vanian contributed to this report.
